Arriving at night, the father pointed out the busy plants, saying, "Now see, son, al. those plants making liquor? You couldn't possibly drink up all the liquor they're making so why try, as you seem to be doing?" The son replied quickly: "Well, dad, maybe I can't drink all of it-up, but,1 and he pointed to all the glowing lights and other signs of industry, "I've sure got 'em "working nights."

Jefferson. o GIVE US THE STATUS QUO Leonard Lobred's cool and wordy reply in Sunday's paper to Sylvan Meyer's heated howl about reduction of salaries was an adequate explanation of the board's belief that salaries, should be within reason, but we think he evaded the main issue. The question is not "Should salaries be reasonable?" The answer is obviously affirmative. The question is "What constitutes reason able?" Lobred says $500 and we wouldn't argue if the board raised all salaries that high. But we aren't asking that much, for we think this year's salaries are quite reasonable and satisfactory. Lobred speaks of "scaling salaries in proportion to the importance and value of each position." If that is his criterion, we're with him, but. Why is a business manager so much more important in the board's estimation than a managing editor. A business' man ager works less hours, gets only, slightly less glory, receives just as many entertainment passes, submits to infinitely less cussing from the campus, and his efficiency is little more important to a publication's financial status than a managing editor's. If "scaling according to importance and value" is your goal, Mr. Lobred, you've missed the boat. A true judgment of whether or not salaries need changing may be derived, not from philosophic, platitudes, not from comparison with professional salaries, but from the answers to the following questions: Has the size of salaries hurt the financial status of publications ? Have any managing editors, editors, or business managers come back for graduate work in order to serve another term? Has any body (except the sports editor) squawked that his salary was ridiculously out of proportion? Do publications cost students out of proportion to their value? The answer to these questions is, "No," and we derive the same answer on reduction of salaries. 1 . " There ; are a few people in the senior class who are making Fish Worley's life an ordeal. For nearly two weeks now he has I been trying desperately to award the prizes to the senior treasure hunt winners, but so far he hasn't been able to track any of them down. Look, if you're one of i those" strange people who win treasure hunts, have a lit tle pity on Fish and go by and get your prize. If you didn't', want it what in the world were you doing in the treasure hunt? We don't like papers that are 100 per cent pacifist. Just on general prin ciples. We like peace too.

On talking with many prof sors and students alike, it appears" though, Spring, 1941, has been more in the realm of fancy and ethereal es cape tnan any since we've been school. Profs didn't feel like teach,. classes, and students didn't have the slightest urge to study. War, in a its Martian dynamite, had smacked r- full in the face. Later we will think back on all the days in Chapel Hifl when women floated past our very door' all the nights we played coy wit! prissy misses on the lawn in front of Spencer; and last, but far from the end, the many days when we W through 6 A.M. and when bugles were something that played on Armistice Day, but never were used as alarm clocks. DW& Igr VnUt FoUwt Syndicat Inc. 0 Students Urged to Continue Studies The following letter, written to his students by Chancellor H. W. Chase of New York University, so aptly expresses the situation here that we are pass ing it on to you. I would urge all our students who had planned to continue their work in the University next year, or .who have been in doubt as to their.plans, not to interrupt their training unless it is impera tively necessary. We shall need in this country, as never before, all the trained personnel that can be mustered to cope with problems that will inevitably follow in the train of current world-wide stress and disorder. You young people now in college are the nation's most valuable reserves. We must not unnecessarily deplete this reser voir. Far better, for your own good and the country's, that the training you are now receiving be carried forward assiduously and without interruption, now, to logical objectives, than that it be thrust aside for some more 'immediately appealing pursuit. The Selective Service authorities are encouraging college stu dents to plan to coordinate their education and their military serv ice. Men registered for Selective Service should find out from their local boards when it is likely that they will be called. If such a call is probable during the early part of any semester it may be wise to consider the desirability of volunteering in order to avoid the possible interruption in college work during any given semester. If, on the other hand, it is probable that the induction should fall after the semester is well under way, local boards are authorized to postpone the induction until the semesters work is ended. This applies also to the work of students in summer sessions. In general it is not wise for young men below draft age or those registered in the draft but not subject to early call to abandon college pre maturely. Those whose current training is in fields directly related to na tional defense, e.g., medicine, dentistry, engineering, advanced work in the biological, chemical, geological and physical sciences; and others, whose educational programs may, in the judgment of local draft boards, seem more important for the time being to the na tional need than the immediate bearing of arms, are urged to continue their preparation and to request occupational deferment. Local draft boards vhave been properly counseled to give due at tention to such applications. Likewise, the University adminis tration is advised and stands ready to endorse all applications' for deferment that come within the latitude of their regulations. It is pointed out to us that such procedure is the part of patriotism, Students whose draft numbers have been called but are blissfully lying in the cradle of ignorance by thinking " 4-1 a 4- 4-1stw 'maw slt4-raivt r trt FIT? A TVT' uiiau ixic isiay vutam NEWS Apropos of Nothing By Barnaby Conrad extension of the June 30 - draft deferment, might do well to forget any such ideas. During the past month it was officially stated that "at the present time there does not seem to be much likelihood that any amendment will be adopted for a further period of deferment of all college students as such." This means that there will be no more "group deferments" although special cases will be considered by the boards. Groups that may now obtain deferment are: engineering, chemistry, dentistry, pharmacy, physics, biology, bacteriology, geology geo-physics, meterology, hydrology, cartography, and medicine. Official statements saythat "since the passage of the Burke-Wadsworth bill, students have had plenty of .time to plan for their future with the knowl edge that there are liabilities for serv ice to be met." ' ' Besides the above technical groups, the only students to be deferred after July are: Most of the letters that come to this department, and for some reason let ters do come to . this department, close with some exhortation such as "Hop ing they replace the space used for your face with a jolly old crossword puzzle, I remain yrs. truly, etc." Or else they cast verbal asparagus on the legitimacy of my conception or allude to, me as' S.O.B.

SPOTUGHT NEWS: Virginia Hayes a little confused during the Monogram Club's "Muscle Madness" at finding that she had the chorus ap pearing in two successive scenes with no time for costume change.

A notice from the Purdue Ex ponent: "Curtain time for tomorrow's performance of 'College Widow' will be at 8 o'clock.. It is expected that the author and other prominent alumni will attend." Certainly a pessimistic outlook on attendance. . . . George Glamack looking somewhat unhappy in an English class during a discussion of Gulliver's Travels among the Lilli putians. . . . All but two students in a Michigan State English class signed, of their own volition and without co ercion by anyone," a petition that they should receive "F's" as final grades in the course. The petition, conducted by the professor to illustrate the ease with which people may be duped into signing trick documents and papers. was covered with a harmless testi monial concerning a long term assign ment. ... nlv ask me how I have the unmitie'ated XII .

Quite on the contrary. And I should know, she's me. Whee! Euphemistically yours. Trudy MacSkatchfiachet" Humourist in the audience? ODE TO FILL UP SPACE There is a man in Chepel Collitch A bird you ought to know, He never sings "Old Time Religion," Or calls you Buddy Roe. This guy eschews the flowing bowl, He shuns all two-bit. hooch, He never wolfs a brother's date and it is on that basis that we invite the cooperation of our stu dents concerned. We must not permit tension of the times unnecessarily to dis rupt normal procedures. We are moulding the University pro gram at every turn to national defense needs, without abandoning, however, fundamental studies, and we ask the cooperation of our students and their parents in the pursuance of this policy. That's the best I can do under the circumstances. Pretty awful, ain't it? Someone gave Jo and Ace Brown a silver baby cup for a weddin' present last week. I hope you put it into good use soon," coyly said the donor the next day to the ever-blushing bride. "We have already," exclaimed she. "It makes a wonderful jigger glass!"

THE NEW MORALITY The good people of the state would indeed be shocked if they realized that dormitory life has become so degraded that the Carolina gentlemen are pro posing to discipline themselves. Some Ruffin dormitory "resident must have come across the one book forbidden on the campus Emily Post. Anyway, it dawned upon the boy's dim minds that excessive cursing, drinking, and dis orderly conduct were not in keeping with the lofty position occupied hy a Carolina student. The boys even want to set up a House of David colony on the campus here by placing restric tions on the use of electric razors. The alumni will shudder at this wanton dis regard of Carolina traditions set up through years of labor. We foresee a drop in the attendance at reunions. Gone will be the days when boys could get a well-rounded education in the arts of manhood. GLAMOUR BOY OF THE MONTH: Secy. Treas.
