John Dewey. . CPU's Joe Martin Joe Martin is in town today. Brains behind the militant, anti-war minority of Republican Con gressmen; Martin is an efficient political leader. He has reputation and a record. The reputation shows well for the GOP, the record consistently anti-New Deal. Today, in our nation, a political Congressman must become a statesman the times when a political marionette would be a first- rate representative have passed.. Joe Martin has voted consistently against progressive measures. He has been reluctant to follow the President's course on the war. He has been accused of using the crisis as a political expedient. We expect Joe Martin to answer these charges in his speech here tonight. We mean to see him toe the mark and prove himself to be a statesman. The test and the proof lie with him. across X Pamoos violin mater i L&rre serpent s Took counsel U College degree IS Approximate It One hundred one 17 Knock 1 Bag 20 Soak flax 21 Makes mistake 23 First shot in toll 24 Depend upon 25 Peruse . .27 Narrow ribbon 28 Shows in picture 29 Hole in rround 30 Inclined 31 Satiate 33 Fellow (sln) 34 Agitate 38 Short poem 37 Takes dinner 39 No (Scottish V. 40 French article' 41 Larger 43 Note of scale 44 Not permitted. 46 Movement of shoulders By LASS Axswra to ra.vioca rrzzLs 2 Current account abbr. -Bit 19589-1 g Pip a eLm'e pqq jsi SiTjEjLlL AjP j R,p ckj e'd AsEnop5gJgbl5Ajgv 47 Specks DOWN 1 Cognizant tiblical -Tarema 5 Curves 6 Wager 7 Hypothetical force 8 Friendship 18 Stunt 11 Unusual 12 Dissolute person ' 14 Barrier 15 Heavenly 18 Church officer 20 Is sorry for 22 Healing substance 24 Prices 25 Owing 27 Label 31 Bottoms of feet 32 Eeaven (French) 33 Executive negative 35 Shows by letters 37 Haul 38 Joins with thread 4 Antelope 43 Corded fabric 44 Chaldean city 45 Perform I NOT IMPORTANT Politicians Should Be Leaders Also Out of campaign promises and votes have come two things, meet ings of many campus organizations and a lot of beside-the-point talk. The fees bill and the campus organization bill, the two sore spots of last year, were scrapped by our new campus officers. It seems it was impossible to administer them . properly. Maybe so. But why has the fact that these two bills were designed to improve certain campus ' conditions been scrapped too? These bills were possible steps toward a certain end. Do our new officers then say also that the gbals of last year's officers are undesirable too? If so, just what do our new officers think is desirable ? So far this year we have not heard that they even think. One campus or ganization has been active this year the Safety Council ; and the head of it was appointed, not elected. Apparently students who are elected to offices think that once there their obligation has been fulfilled. Maybe they fair to see that positions of authority are means and not ends in themselves. But we're being unfair. You know our officers wouldn't have run for office in the first place if they didn't have some ideas for con structive changes. We, the students, will just have to wait a little longer until maybe something will come of the ideas. There is a lot of talk about how poorly the honor system is work ing. Last year's campaign promises certainly included one about a better campus. And yet we have not heard of a single officer of the student body who has a decent idea about making the honor system work better. What's wrong with all the class officers? These men could very easily interest themselves in matters other than get ting their pictures in the paper on one class dance a year. Why can't each class president make it his business to see that his class un derstands and supports the honor system a hundred per cent. If it's possible, it can be done here. Many campus officers do not know whether or not certain as pects of student government are within their realm of power. If this year's officers can not or will, not do anything else, someone could take it upon himself to draw up a constitution setting forth m one unit the entire structure of our student government, with complete lists of powers and specific delegations of responsibility. Then at least future officers who will intend to improve the campus a little will have one less hurdle to take ; and besides, work on such a project would give the impression that this year's officers are active arid wide awake. A constitution would also facilitate a more complete understanding of our student government for people who are interested, like freshmen. There are so many good things that could be done this year that 'there isn't room in the Tar Heel to print them all. Why don't "some of you politicians prove that you're worth the faith expressed in you by your votes? r 2. 3 H" ? t 7 8 f "f W 1!LI;L:l wWZj . !!L "inll Signifying Nothing By Harley Moore Today we shall talk about something very unfunny, something a little too true to be laughed at. There stands in the world a nlajestic fruit tree, a symbol of an institution which we. have long thought to be eternal, but which may now be rotting and dying before our eyes. Botanieally this tree may function a little strangely, but like most fruit trees it has a sound trunk, many branches, numerous roots and leaves. It srenerallv bears a crop of fruit which is the envy of most fruit trees, Sadly, this tree now seems to be covered a little too plentifully with fungi, and with wounds inflicted by termites. The termites are actively harming the tree, creating vast dam age to the fruit's value and to the once sound trunk and branches. . The fungi just sit idly by, doing nothing to aid the tree, parasitic, drawing the lifeblood, contributing nothing in return. Distr. by United Feature Syndicate, Inc. By The Staff Worth Sixty Seconds of Your Time In 1930 one of Carolina's famous sons returned to the campus to speak at a pep rally. He was the late Judge W. J. Brogden. What he had to say so impressed the students and athletes of Chapel Hill that when a year later the Monogram Club was formed, his speech became the foundation of the club's code. What is printed below is a great contribution from a great alumnus. But it is also an expres sion of the sportsmanship which has been a part of all Carolina teams since then. I BELIEVE IN THE UNIVERSITY, her traditions, her standards of scholarship, her devotion to sound, clean manhood. I BELIEVE IN THE TEAM. It challenges my courage and tests my skill. It teaches me patience and self-control. It re quires me to "take it on the chin" and get up with a smile, ready and eager for more. It does not tolerate wrangling or jealousies, Two Carolina gentlemen, Sig Pearly and Harry Bernstein, had lunch to gether in one of the food emporiums on Main Street. Harry ordered a "swiss cheese on Rye," while Sig or dered a roast beef on white. When the waiter brought the sandwiches over to the table each of our hungry friends grasped at them madly. About half way through his sandwich Sig YOU gelled, "Hey, I've got no roast beef in this PASSED IT one The waiter was very polite and simply explained, "You've most like not come to the roast beef yet." Sig was skeptical, but continued with his sandwich. He finished it and still hadn't found any roast beef. He called the waiter over and said, "What's the idea. I didn't find any roast beef." . The waiter smiled and replied, "Sir, you proba bly passed it." O We were talking to Olive Conescu about things and cotton stamps when a friend of Olive's whom we did not identify came up and gave us a defi nition of an actor. "An actor," he said, "is a man who can walk over to the side of a stage, gaze into the wings full of other actors, dirt and dust, girls scanty cos tumes, stage hands, dirty ropes, light ing equipment, and props and say 'My, what a beautiful view from this win dow " With this our unknown friend disappeared into the shadows. ; DREAM WORLD 9t JlafifLeil 1:30 Valkyries will meet in the GA room, Graham Memorial. 1:30 The Public Speaking group of wisely used the Freshmen Friendship Council will meet in the YMCA. The quality of the fruit depends upon the purity of the sap, and when this sap has been poluted by the fungi and injured by the termites, both the fruit and the tree suffer, and become of little value. - O To explain this allegory, we need but glance at Carolina's Honor Code. The university stands tall and ma jestic, its departments spreading out in the sun, bearing the fruits of knowledge. Its roots of honesty, truth fulness, and f airplay clutch with firm fingers into the solid soil of tradition. Thru all the tree courses the Hon or Code, a powerful sap, carrying from the roots a strength to enrich the fruit. But what of this sap when it is attacked by destructive termites, side tracked by parasitic fungi. It loses its quality, becomes weak and impo tent, and the fruit consequently de teriorates, as will the tree itself in time. To save the tree there is real need of a flight of zealous birds, an Hon or Council of determined woodpeckers, angered at finding the fruit of a de teriorated quality, who will shake us dormant fungi from our parasitic pas sive destruction, who will purge the tree forever of its insidious termites, who will make us grateful to partake of the fruits of knowledge. Then the lifeblood will be pure, the tree and branches sound, the roots firmer yet, and the fruit will be rich, plentiful, gratefully . accepted, and I V gum s r 8y Morion Uppincoft 2:00-6:00 Tryouts for men singers in Memorial hall for Sound and'Fury, 7:30 Pep meeting in Memorial hall. 8 :30 Representative Martin ' will speak in Memorial hall. 9:00--WaItz time in Graham Memor ial.

CLAIM STAKING' SHE'S RIGHT A letter came to the office today addressed to the KEYBOARD column, but instead of it being fan mail as we had hoped, it turned out to be a letter of complaint. It was from a coed and she wrote, "It was all very well for- you to print that cute little poem in the KEY BOARD about love, . but you over looked one factor, the chaperone. I herewith enclose a poem that you should have included." The poem, we admit does present a very important side to the question, so with your permission it follows. "HERE'S TO THE CHAP ERONE, MAY SHE LEARN FROM CUPID, JUST ENOUGH BLIND NESS, TO BE SWEETLY STUPID." We can say only, AMEN. We are on what might be called, a crusade.. This is the problem: In the days of the gold rush every miner would have to beat it back to a gov erment records office when he found gold and after, the claim was staked out and recorded no one could tres pass. JNot so tne Carolina gentleman, he finds an attrac tive coed, even if it's not gold, and he takes her. out in front of the "Y" at 10:30 to have a chat about anything or maybe make a date, but does he get the chance? No he doesn't, be cause there are ten or twenty tres passers (wolves to you) standing a round smiling sweetly. Our sugges tion is that we make Mr. Evans in South building the claim receiver and that after a girl has been claimed it" would be a student government of fense to wolf at the 10:30 break. We found wee Jack Dube crying in the Tar Heel office yesterday and it seemed no one could get him to tell what was bothering him. When he finally stopped crying he just point ed to a box that lay on the editor's desk. We looked in the box and found a note with something wrapped in tissue paper under it. The note read, "You can use this in big doses in your column.". We unwrapp ed the tissue paper and found a cake of soap. . Send the DAILY TAR HEEL home THANK YOU or alibis. It expects me to be fit in body and mind. In truth, it is a man's game, built solely for courageous, clean, and intelligent men. ' I BELIEVE IN VICTORY. The score board is an incident. Victory is in the heart. It is born in hard, clean fight. It is the consciousness that I have done my best. . I WILL FIGHT FOR THE UNIVERSITY'S GLORY until the last sound of the whistle. To The Editor: At this moment we are in the midst of Freshmen Elections. The great ma jority of students look with contempt at the office of President of the fresh man Class. Perhaps the holders of this office, in the past have merited this censure; of that I have no knowledge. I do know, however, that a situation ex ists that is a discredit to this Universi ty, and especially to the Student Gov ernment of the University. Freshmen look upon this election as a farce and something to laugh about. Upper classmen call the Freshmen of fices the political graveyard of the Campus. This opinion has been foster ed in part by the attitude of the Tar Heel. If the Tar Heel and other responsible upper class organizations cooperated, this condition could be remedied. These offices should be the cradle of Student Government, rather than the graveyard of amateur politicians. We of the Freshman class are en titled to an equal break in Student Government. WHY CAN'T THE TAR HEEL HELP US GET IT? Sincerely, McKibben Lane, '45 . .
