For This It sue: News: LEONARD LOBRED Sports: EARLE HELLEN "Let our object be our country, our .whole country, and nothing but our country." Webster o Faculty Action on Class Cuts Despite approaching examinations and nightly cram sessions in this subtropic weather, we've found time to formulate a sincere and direct complaint against class absences rules passed last Fri day by the general faculty. Some of the measures we consider fair presentation of ex cuses one week after return to class and effective installation of the card system. Because we can see no other solution, we can even countenance the $2.50 ine imposed for classes missed at the beginning of each quarter and just before and after holidays, al though the penalty affects parental financiers more than their lackadaisical offspring. Here we have respect for what seems a purposeful, concerted attempt for the first time in, many years ac tually to enforce the rules on class cuts. Yet, no matter how good the faculty's intentions, there seem to us to be two glaringly unfair rules. One decres that a student "caput tv may not get credit for course if ne nas absences FACULTY amounting to over 25 per cent of the class meetings TO BLAME even though his absences may be excused. What val id excuse can there be for not according a student credit if he has the ability and intelligence to make up the work and pass the course? ' ' The second is the general agreement among several depart ments to put on cut probation any student who has two unexcused absences in a three-hour course or four in a five or six-hour class Here, faculty members evidently forgot the special student opin .ion poll conducted at the beginning of the quarter to give the spe cial investigating committee an idea of what the campus wanted. We ran understand that it is imnractical to trv to follow the al ternative supported most, that of allowing individual instructors to settle all matters of absences. They do not want to take the responsibility. But we can see no reason why the faculty refused to adopt the system which is now virtually in effect and which received the next greatest approval of the student body that is, allowing the same number of cuts as the course has hours. Perhaps the faculty was so appalled by the distressing statis tics cited by Dr. Totten's committee that they decided to clamp down on what they consider a student "slap at liberality." To which we would like to point out three things. First, there was the report that 36 per cent of the students enrolled in freshman rrxurk uAn mah classes were absent on a "typical Saturday, Said Saturday was typical if every weekend has a rAULio freshman dance set. Second, despite figures and fig ures on student absences, no mention was made in the committee's report on just how many instructors themselves have failed to meet their classes for unexplained reasons. Third, that a great deal of the responsibility for the current crucial situation in class attendance belongs to faculty members, departments and the ad ministration for letting the problem slide and slide and slide. The student body indicated in that early poll and would do so again that it does not prefer voluntary class attendance. It real izes that the Carolina campus is not prepared to take on the Ox f ordian system. All the student body wants is a system of class attendance with the same degree of option that has been evolved over a number of years. We do not see that the faculty can reasonably hope to enforce so stringent a plan as has been adopted. JABBERWOCKY By Carolina Mag Staff In Passing: What, asks the Atchison Globe, has become of the old-fashioned child who licked the plate when his mother baked a cake? And echo answers. What's become of the o. f . mother who did same ? Those hostile gestures which the Russians are making at the Keich probably mean no more than usual. Stalin is a man who always clouds up but never rains.

Blink in daylight, - yawn incessantly,- mum ble incoherently finder please return. But excuse them, reason being that we've come across them in the wee hours before 8:30's buried in page- proofs, photos, etc., after days, nights and weeks of Carolina magging and Tar an' Feathering ... . Under The New products division of caustic Newsweek's Periscope, we found the panacea for our own campus. In short, three simple lines told the story: "... A new flashlight, soon to be marketed, fits neatly on the wrist, allowing free use of both hands . . ." When we read this, we immediately thought of all those awkward nights out at Kenan sta dium, listening to Fish Worley's Music Under the Stars while stumbl ing over seats and things in the dark. What a panacea this new invention would be! Then too, our fond little brethren who take up hiking as a profession the Boy Scouts could win back some of their military pres tige by scouting twice as fast and thus twice as far by night. The best possibilities of the whole new in vention lie in the realm of explora tion, however. Hiking is a fine sport, but there is no better form of ex ertion in Chapel Hill than exploring and excavating the hidden, unknown regions that lie about our fair vil lage. What with the new co-ed regu lations, the chances are that the new flashlight will facilitate exploration to the point where it will seem like an all night affair since you can begin exploring at the early hour -of 8:30, which is a mighty long time, even if it is with a Woman's Council mem ber. s ssssss: Bj LASS KOSSIS ACROSS 1 Cause to Cow out 5 Cartlrr weapon 19 Wooded bin 14 Possess 15 Soman official 1 Type oi plant , 17 Seed eoTering 18 Fortification 19 BasebaU terra 30 DeceiTes -21 Pierce Cogs -34 Aeriform fluid 25 People recently subjugated by Nazis 2 Tardier 29 Title of respect 30 Railway station 34 Classical and literary 37 Walk in water 38 Mythological bird 39 Instrument for opening' wound 41 study wltn care 42 Grating of parallel bars 44 Coastal waters 49 Go in 48 Pood fish 49 Analyse grammatically 5ft Thigh-bone 52 Spider trap , s j uniei city ANSWEB TO rEEVlOES FCZ2XE pjKh-cl igfCA.jgjg p ETrfy,.P u ftlpJoMilt folSM IE tT jsJLMm Bigigietpfc?

This kind of nationalism is not so much concerned with the health of the state as with state worship; and the attitude leads to actions sometimes mean and petty, other times only ridiculous. Recent ly, as one case among many, the ridiculous happened. If you remem ber how a dime is designed, you know that on one side is a bundle of sticks the rods and axe that used to be symbolic in old Rome of the power of the magistrates to punish people. The bundle stands for unity: one stick can be broken at a time, but not all together. The Roman word for this design is fasces. Well, the wo men's division of the Committee of Americans has sent a petition to Sec retary of the Treasury Morgenthau "not to mint any more fascist dimes." We thought the idea would die there. But to our amazement, one morning when reading the edi torials in a very prominent state newspaper, we saw, "Fasces and fascism are too closely related. ... In these horrendous times, we shiver at anything that even sounds like fascism or nazism, and besides, the fasces is a Roman symbol. ... Since the axe and the rods are fascist, the design on the dime should be changed." The women's group had converted a leading editorialist. It surprised us that educated people are unaware of the intermingling of civilizations and the impossibility to produce a race with a "pure" culture.

' A smart man doesn't worry about getting credit for every thing he does. Michigan State recently inaugurated the opti mum in courteous hitch-hiking by de vising a "thank you" card to be given to the driver stopping for a Michigan State spartan. The card adorned with 1 cartoon of a student bumming in ront of their bell tower, reads:. "The student body of Michigan State College hanks you for having given one of its members a ride" . . . The story goes that Hitler recently sent a special courier to assure Turkey of Germany's friendship. But it seems that the Fuehrer is altering , his technique. Usually he doesn't bother to declare war so openly. Perhaps 50 per cent and certainly 25 percent of the country's population has impaired vision because of vitamin A deficiency, says Prof. Robert S.

Backed By Leaders A similar circular distributed by the SDD, signed by 15 student leaders, em phasized that students in the current crisis have a deep obligation to "ex amine the issues . . . face the facts . , and do some thinking." Circulated along with that letter was a pamphlet containing an article by Major George Fielding Eliot, which emphatically endorsed convoys to "save Britain from defeat." Anthony Dell, chairman of the ASU campaign, pointed out tnat "students here at Carolina have voted three to one against war.

The cause this could be laid to a shortage cloth if Hollywood were in England but since it isn't, the subject of js origin may be touched only slightly It is more than society has a ri to expect of righteous upstanding college men and women to stand stead fast in the face of a combined on slaught composed of David Clark Goddard, the international situation' plus scholastic requirements; not to mention the spring plague which has. settled over the campus everyone it trying to get it. In trying times like these it seeir? only proper that the government should impose some restrictions on the increase of stimulating, exhilarating and some what disrupting influences of the cinema. Yesterday someone caljed the Daily Tar Heel and asked what the term TERM at Paui SulIiva qn 'concludes his pro- SU gram with it and has done so for a long time. Pictures of the finale of the Boston Tran script showed workers parading with 30" printed on cards. The term ."30" is a journalist's way of saying "the end." It started when a telegraph station the last in series which sent their messages over a joint wire signed off each night with its number, which was 30. It was the practice for each station to use its number as a signature. Station 30 being last in line, the term grew to mean "that's all tonight." ADV.
