Tonight the last set of the year will be produced with the authors apparently celebrating the end of school by a turn from the philosophical to comedy.

It is only another example of a negative attitude of which this year's Publicatons Union board has been even more guilty than the boards of the past and which we hope will be " a discarded tradition by next year this time. We charge that Leonard Lobred, Bill Seeman, Andy Gennett, . . M I 1 George F. Horner, and Earl H. Hartsell, voting members 01 tnis year's board, have failed to live up to their responsibility. This year they have constituted the board of directors of a forty- eight thousand-dollar-a-year publishing organization, yet they have conducted the board as if it were an austere court of appeals. They have been kind" and generous in handing down decisions, but the decsions were those of a court and were handed definitely down. Their responsibility, according to the Publications Union con stitution, is to exercise "general supervision of all student publica tions." More concretely, we say that their responsibility is to pub lish a daily paper, two monthly magazines, and a yearbook and to see that they are the best examples of collegiate journalism of which student talent here is capable. . There is no negative there and we claim it calls for action as well as its customary sagacious check on someone else's action. For nstance : why was no action taken when Gene Witten (who was appointed by the board not elected) failed week after week to complete publication of the April issue of Tar anT Feathers? The board should step in immediately to make up the deficiency when an editor fails to live up to his responsibility. The board has the final responsibility as well as the final power in all the physical aspects of the publications. The editor, of course, has the final authority on the content, but the board should see that whatever content is; preferred by the editor is put into print on time and as economical ly as possible. And "economically" does not necessarily mean "cheaply."

On Other Campuses From Coast To Coast By Billy Webb Someone with horticultural interests has started a lovely little garden in oce of the cigarette urns in Caldwell ha At the present time, little green plants (of unknown variety) are pushic their way through the sand and cigat rette butts. The solemnity of awards night and the Governor reviewing the NROTC was rudely interrupted by the crash bang of dishes and silverware being slung around over at the UDC. They were so inconsiderate that they even didn't even keep time with the drum corps. . Dr. Frank was strolling lazily along on one of those scorching days last week when Dick Goldsmith rolled br in his limousine and offered him a ride. Quick to accept the offer with a, "It's too hot to walk" remark, Dr. Frank rode all of one half block before tbe car coughed up and died in its crucial test. Dr. Frank, with typical good humor, helped the boys push the lim ousine down the street. The CPUers thought they were be ing properly gracious when they pre sented ex-chairman Bill Joslin with a beautiful camera to take all their pic tures. Very appropriate was the gift, however, for right by the lense were the initials IRC. . . . Fitting climax to a year of strife., Jimmy Cox, first winner of the Thomas Wolfe award, almost walked away from the platform the other night empty handed. But Dr. Frank, as al ways, came to the rescue and found the filthy lucre under a pile of cups plaques, and sundry envelopes. Reward for hours of slaving came to all loyal Tar Heelers yesterday when they were able to walk up to the small lounge and get their Yackety Yacks in three seconds flat. The crowds caused a traffic jam in Gra ham Memorial but, unfortunately for Fish, they didn't come to square dance- Hope in Hopelessness College editors throughout the country have been expressing with a wistful naivete their desire for peace and their fears for the future. Dis- cooperation, with the result that cheat-;qUietlf ashl? no?e ing and cribbling at Columbia have become a thing of the past. Now most of the students there know Dr. Hehre as only the man who rings the bell to start to work. Thinking back over his years of over seeing several thousand students al taking examinations in one gymna sium room, Dr. Hehre has only no ticed one trend other than that away from cheating. It is that in the last ten years students' handwriting has degenerated into so much of an un intelligible scrawl that he is almost ready to recommend supplying every one with typewriters. Wouldn't David Clark have a nervous breakdown if that were all our honor council had to worry about?

Any British official can be sure of getting an audience these days by starting his speech like this : "As Rudolf Hess was telling me the other day ."

In the Stanford Daily, D wight Hutchison writes: "We thought, may be it wouldn't happen again. We fig ured that, after the last war, when the post-war escapists had blazed through the jazz age and settled down into left-wing radicalism during the backwash of the depression, the whole show was over. "And now nations are cutting each other's throats again. Amer ica faces the all-too-grim prospect of another fight to save a cause or j an ideal. And with it, the prospect of another post-war age of what F. Scott Fitzgerald called tired young men'." Mascott in the Michigan . Daily writes: "If we are a scholastic fail ure this semester, however, we be lieve we can attribute it (without ra tionalization) to the possible irration al idea that study at this time is large ly inconsequential. It seems extreme ly stupid to spend four years of your life in an attempt to learn how to live wnen you see ail around you forces, vicious forces, working for your death, either intellectual, or physical." These are the kind of statements which have been called defeatist and destructive of morale in a nation which must pour every ounce of . energy into a defense effort. They are more surely the sentiments of a generation which feels doomed be fore it begins to live, a generation which asks for peace and security and finds only holocaust and blood shed. ' , . Some would call them indications of weakening moral fiber in American youth. They could more justifiably be look ed upon as a longing for social sta bility and economic balance which it may be America's destiny to build. . History may show that these members of the rising generation, with their sluggish response to the war drums and the battle cries, were not justified in their short range view of the necessity of war. Only time will prove the validity of their pessimistic predictions. But in their desires for a secure ex istence, their vivid horror of wars will eventually be found the impetus for the establishment of permanent and equitable peace. The Daily Calif ornian.
