o No Business Ethics
Chapel Hill has gotten itself -a reputation for decency and friend
liness, but if what transpired this past week-end occurs again,
that reputation will be deservedly turned to contempt.
Fair profit on merchandise is all well and good, and we don't
want to make ourselves look silly by talking about that. And it's
true that wholesale food prices have gone up
niJ)," about 27 per cent. But the action taken by local)
r-xwo restaurants this past week-end in jumping the
prices of everything for the soldiers while giving steady custom
ers the regular prices is cheap, small, and utterly despicable.
In one restaurant, a group of students eating lunch were told
to see the proprietor when paying the check as regular prices
would be in effect for them but that for the soldiers, prices had
been raised.
Beer was selling for $.20 a bottle to soldiers instead of $.15.
All around it added up to the fact that every restuarant did its
best to get all the money it possibly could out of $21 a month.
They couldn't get $22, but no doubt they would have tried were
it possible.
The sheer contemptibility of taking advantage of the soldiers
by overcharging on food is equalled only by the bad manners and
poor breeding which is manifest by complete disregard of com-

After all, these fellows are in the army not because they want

are preparing to fight so that they can save our necks because,
too, they thought those necks were worth something.

"I just forgot all about the meeting.
It was awfully silly because I wasn't
doing anything else," said a coed last
week, laughing off her non-attendance
at the first meeting of the most im
portant student governing body. Said
coed was last spring elected by the gen
eral campus to this important group.
This incident might be funny if it
wern't so common.
" . '
Said coed was interested in this of
fice last spring, enough so that she
politicked long and hard to get elected.
Now her interest has evaporated. The
very least she could do to repay the
campus which elected her would be to
attend the first meeting, in body, if
not in spirit.
One of her responsibilities of office
is reading half -inch headlines in the
Daily Tar Heel announcing the meet
ing, and then placing these headlines
in her brain for future reference. She
either has a non-existent memory, or
she isn't interested, in which case she
might resign and let someone a little
more conscientious take over.
Said coed is not an isolated example.
Nor does she prove that coeds are un
fit to hold office and that a woman's
place is in the home. Such examples
are far too prevalent on this campus
with the men as well as the coeds.
o .
Of course, you say, this irresponsi
bility is the fault of the student body.
And of course you're right. Most of
the student body doesn't give a darn
whether said coed attends the meeting,
or just collects her key and forgets the
whole thing.
But the students who politick and are
elected to office are supposedly the fu
ture leaders of the United States and
democracy. One would suppose these
"superior" students would have a per
sonal sense of responsibility. Appar
ently they do not. But if these pseudo
leaders would really lead, then they
might be able to arouse some enthusi
asm from the general campus. But
as long as the "outstanding" students
shirk their responsibility, just so long
will the rank and file of students say,
"What difference does it make?"

o An Open Letter To The Faculty
Less than three weeks of school have passed, yet several Caro
lina professors have evidently run out of lecture material for their
students. At any rate certain professors have felt it their duty
to make a farce of the Daily Tar Heel. Last week a prominent
member of the faculty told his students that they," "didn't have
to read the paper," they could "smell it." Others have remarked
that, "this year's paper has hit a new low," or "don't believe it
if you see it in the Daily Tar Heel."
In case our esteemed professors do not know, their college paper
is not run by professionals. A group of students interested in
T?mTrTTTT? journalism spend their afternoons at typewrit-
NOT "FTTNNY" ers wne their friends go to the movies and have
a guou time, xney cuiiect ana eait tne news,
write the copy, and work from two in the afternoon until one in
the morning. No one feels a mistake more than they do. Perhaps
many mistakes are careless, but that is only human.
Nothing please us more than to receive good constructive criti
cism. For it is that criticism that will improve the paper. But for
college professors men who are supposed to help their students
to ridicule the paper and make it a point to tell one and all of its
blunders, we just can't see that as fair and just. We don't make it
a policy to fill our editorial columns with trite material about the
inefficiency of our faculty. Why should they devote their time
to criticizing us?
For the benefit of the professor who told his class that you
didn't have to read the paper, and that you could smell it, we'd
like to tell him that if it smells, it is the smell of printer's ink.
It is the smell of 12 hours work, and it is the best that those stu
dents in charge can do.

o Southern Hospitality, Mclver Style
Coeds over in Mclver dorm reached a new high in Southern
hospitality Saturday night as they held open house for the sol
diers. Foregoing their early dates, the coeds were busy entertain
ing soldiers when Carolina gentlemen arrived to take over.
Expecting only a small group of soldiers, the coeds were un
prepared for the 150 privates and officers who showed up. And
150 SOLDIERS they Were surPi"ised at tne pleasure of the sol

for meeting people far removed from their
everyday army life. -
Arranged by Gladys Barnes, Mclver president, Claire Freeman,
social chairman, Frances Abernathy, and Lucy Darvin, all the
coeds in the dorm participated.
It was a noble and successful experiment. Other dorms might
follow the example, as it's a large job for any one dorm to handle
every week. Carolina gentlemen, who are dangerously close to the
army themselves, might also well follow the example.

says Coy only steps in when two or
ganizations are bidding for the same
employee.
Nevertheless, the OEM is one of the
smoothest working defense units at
Capitol Hill.
Coy is on close terms with the Presi
dent. But he's a busy man. So, though
he sees the President as often as twice
a day, he asks the President to make
short cryptic yes "or no answers to im
portant decisions. That, most people
contend, is a gift, for Coy narrows
down most complicated national prob
Iems down to two simple alternatives.
No one can underestimate his im
portance except himself. "He is fight

preperations by confusion and cross

It's too bad they don't give intelli

and ethical considerations were dis
cussed."
C. W. Shields, president of the as
sociation, professed ignorance of any
profiteering, or any allegations, said
that the committee would "undoubted
ly review any such going on."
Every Franklin Street merchant
contacted said that he "had heard
something about it, but knew nothing
definite." Several added that "if there
was anything like that it is a dirty
practice."
Y. Z. Cannon of the Carolina Bar
ber Shop termed such dealings "de
cidedly unethical," said that "certain
ly no member of the Merchants assoc
iation would be connected with it."
Soldiers themselves told of incidents
in downtown stores in which they had
been charged what they thought "were
exorbitant prices" for standard arti
cles. Comer added that reports from all
quarters told of the gracious apprecia-
tiveness and good conduct of the more
than 3,000 soldiers that filled every
available bed, turned the basement of
Graham dormitory into a barracks,
and slept on rugs in fraternity house's.
