Instead, we want to give belated thanks to the faculty for the wise considera tion in allowing students time to prepare adequately for their final examinations. After this hectic quarter of elections and dances and national defense, the favor will come in particularly handy. The PU Board has a tremendous sur plus which just gets larger and larger. It makes money every year. Publica tions have in most cases paid their own way. The salaries this year are lower than they have ever been for many of the positions. There is no stand ard for determining wages. Hourly bases do not work, for editing a news paper is something that goes to bed with a person, is his first concern every moment of the day. Responsi bility is not a just criterion. Only judgment is on the basis of precedent on what other colleges pay proportionately. What have workers in the past received? Past salaries amounted to at least $25 per man a where the Commanding Officer told him gently, My good man, we ieei tnat tne Our latest conscription story con cerns the draftee who after being sent to Ft.

" . - It got to be quite a sport to watch this poor fellow wander about the camp picking up discarded candy wrappers and cigarette packages, examining them closely, then mournfully passing on mumbling, "Nope, that aint' it." It wasn't long before the eccentric draftee was in the physchopathic ward under observation. It was the same old story. He would clutch the paper nap kin from his tray, look at it closely on both sides, shake his head sadly, and say, "Nope, that ain't it."

Stepping on each other. o Congratulations Congratulations are extended at this time to the newly tapped Grail, Fleece, and Valkyrie members. One of the creditable things about Carolina is the fact that its outstanding students are really outstanding, are not merely the products of political chance. Here the merit system is a reality. This is increasingly evident when we notice the qualifications of the men and women selected. All were chosen because of the work they had done and good work at that -and not because they belonged to any group or inner circle. , Usually we are inclined to pass over this situation, admitting proudly that it is unique, but after all not thinking about it very much. We ought to be aware of the really progressive system our honor societies are helping develop. Look at the Grail; besides its service in presenting'dances all students can attend, contributing the proceeds to needy campus organizations and worthy charities, it sponsors our annual Awards night. The Valkyries have just chosen eleven new members who are already proving their right to their honor by organizing and sponsoring an inter-campus sing. They had previously staged and directed the May Day ceremony. Already we have explained the value and worth of the Fleece, aside from its necessity in order to give credit where credit is due, in pro viding an opportunity for all major campus leaders to meet to gether and integrate student problems. So we say congratulations again to the newly chosen members. We are confident that tJiese persons; whose campus records speak for themselves, will not have to have their responsibility pointed out to them, but will if possible add even more power, prestige, and use fulness to their respective organizations. to nothing when a person really puts rights. With the coming of spring, Labor has suddenly become aware of the many crimes being perpetrated against it. Or maybe it's just all the defense m the atmosphere. While the draftees are learning to defend the country. Labor is preparing to defend its Gold Balls And Championships Noted with interest by many was an announcement in yesterday's Tar Heel that the University Club had voted to launch a drive to ob tain gold baseballs for the team which "had performed that in credible and unexpected feat of capturing both the Southern Con ference and the Big Five titles this season." Many congratulations to a plucky and fighting nine. Since May, 1938, the tennis team of the University of North Caro lina has played teams from all over the country, good and bad, with out losing a single match. A generally accepted fact in the sports world is that the best in American intercollegiate tennis is to be seen at North Carolina year in and year out. When a team becomes un defeated and remains undefeated for several seasons, the student body and supporters are inclined to forget that the team still has to exert just as much effort, perhaps just a littje more, to keep on top as it did to get there. The only difference between the tennis team and the baseball team for this spring is that the baseball boys did what they were not expected to do. In our enthusiasm for a sur prising team, let's not forget the old stand-bys. What about gold tennis balls? his soul in his paper or magazine. Of ficers would work for nothing if such were the ruling, for no person does this kind of work unless he has a deep love for it. Nothing is so dreary as writ ing if you don't like to write. President Lobred of the Board makes little jokes when we ask him for reasons for the cut. He has no reason that will stand observation. He knows that the legislature will , ab sorb part of his surplus if the fees bill is passed. He knows that the fee. is lowest in the nation, that salaries are lower than ever, that publications men By striking.

Friday's Child By Marion Lippincott Having heard rumors about Henry Moll's new "mystery" magazine, and wondering what he could do to put new spirit in the Carolina Magazine, we hied ourselves down the hall to Henry's office. As we entered, he pointed a pair of scissors at us, en thusing, "This new slick paper means the maga- zine'll have as much material as ever, and a third more. See, it's like getting one and a third magazine for the price MOLL'S MAG of one." He hastened to explain, how work hard. Ask Mr. Lobred why the ever, the material, we hoped, would be only salary raised while he was sports I much easier to read because of its editor of the TAR HEEL was that paid varied ' nature. "Slick paper, photo to the sports editor of the TAR HEEL, graphs, art work we're using every- We ask one question. Upon intelli- thing possible to make this a publica- gent, irrefutable, logical and just an- tion for four thousand people, instead swer we will keep quiet. Our question is: WHY, Mr. Lobred? WHY, Mr. Lear? DAY of the rumored regular one hundred readers." Galley proofs of the new ma terial showed articles that would ap peal to I. Q. intelligences from 4 to 140 inclusive. We predict the new j magazine not only won't accumulate dust in dormitory stores, but that a few people will even have nerve enough to send a copy home. And that's rare, too. In Passing After a four and a half month cat-and-dog fight, ASCAP music is again on the air this week. Students will no doubt appreciate hearing the good old "St Louis Blues" while they get in the groove for those fast-approaching finals blues.

In the Far East, Japanese editorial ists are advocating that the govern ment clean up the "Chinese Affair." Post haste. They want to see the "Greater East Asia" program move on. All that remains to do now is . . Convince the Chinese. Poor Editor Some philosopher has said that one of the best marks of an intelligent mind is the rareness with which the wise one gives expression to his intelligence. In other words he merely drops a short thought occasionally on the fertile ground of the minds of some stooges he keeps around. This camouflage is denied to one who must speak his mind volubly every day. An editor is such a person. The editor may not have a single thing to say but he's got to say it any way. That's the main reason lots of people say about lots of editorials, "they don't say anything." Obvious, ain't it. The editor may be suffering from indigestion, love or laziness but the indomitable rule of the paper says that he must spout at least one philo sophical line a day. He may be a peace loving indivi dual, he may think the campus is getting along fine, he may be feel ing completely at one with the whole world. Nevertheless he's got to find pretend they don't. Slowly but surely about him, and the draft situation may bewilder him, but some conscientious student is certain to complain that he doesn't have the courage of his con victions or else he doesn't have any convictions (which is worse) if he doesn't support or oppose important issues. He may finally decide to take a stand in favor of Selective Service then find ' his questionnaire from the local draft board in the next mail. Besides the headache he thus far labors under he's got to attend all his classes, including his 8:30's, make A's on ,all his contributions to the Depart ment of Journalism, get through Com position without a condition (neces sarily embarrassing) and support aS his professors' pet clubs and societies in the paper (commonly.known as ap ple polishing). , His friends finally evolve down to two classes. There are those who hate him and don't mind telling him they hate him and those who hate him btr a pet gripe somewhere and start griping about it. He may have to walk for miles in order to find some thing wrong and finally come back after a long and boring search with the juicy bit that the boys don't have enough bureaus to keep their clothes in. , . Job Is Tough Naturally, he is a little bit confused by all that's happening in the world unless he has the ability to project himself into the fourth dimension for brief interludes, he degenerates into a cynical, tongue-lashing tyrant who loses all respect for the dignity of his fellow man. (He hates himself more than anybody else does, which is say ing a lot in fact he presents a right pitiful spectacle and if you think he'd change places with anyone else on canv pus You're ALL wrong.) High positions in the Spanish gov ernment are now filled with the friends and associates of none other than Gen eralissimo Franco. The last members of the Falange, opposing party, bit the dust last week. Which is all vaguely familiar.' Looks like dirty politics.
