o WEEK IN REVIEW
Nazi Victories, Profits From Defense
Mark Crisis In War Scene .
(The following review of the week is compiled jointly by the Inter
national Relations Club, the Carolina Political union, and the DAILY
Tar Heel. It attempts to give a clear picture of the news of the week,
as gathered from numerous sources.)
As the Red Army changed its horses in the middle of the stream
to pilot its tottering forces to victory over the swarming Nazi
legions, the complexion of the world scene became more a matter
of strong talk and future action than new battles. -
Along the eastern front, the tide of the battle appeared to be
heavily weighted toward continued German advances. Moving two
large armies into the Moscow and Rostov sectors, the Nazis had
made many gains by week's end. They had advanced to within
35 miles of the former Russian capital at Moscow, but were re
ported bogged down by stiff Soviet resistance and the long-awaited
rain and snow. In the South, the situation was even more seri
ous than in the Moscow area, as serious f ight-BATTLE-
ing occurred around Makeeva, 70 miles above
FRONT Rostov, the key to the rich Caucasian oil fields.
The Germans also reported a break - through
around Taganrog on the Sea of Azov, 30 miles west of the railway
center of the Donets basin. By late Saturday, it looked as though
the only factor that would save Russia over the long winter months
would be the training of more men for a stand behind the Ural

We've heard of many cases where
the omission of a consonant has got
ten people in trouble but the latest case
is by far the best. A student signed
his paper and then
wrote the pledge on
the bottom. How
ever, instead of saying, "I neither re
ceived or gave," he wrote, "I either re
ceived or gave assistance in this exam."

Army in the Caucasus, and more supplies from the United States,
besides the mud and grime that the snows always bring on. To
train new men, the Red Army High Command this week shifted
Marshal Simeon Timoshenko from the central to the southern
sector, and took the other duo of the triumvirate of generals, Voro
shilov and Buddyenny, behind the front lines to train a vast new
army to stem the Nazi invasion.
This week the Germans claimed many hundreds more to their
list of rebellious Frenchmen who had been executed. With riots and
discontent spreading as another winter without food came on, the
Germans sentenced 100 to die in a single day. It was rumored
that Marshal Phillip Petain wanted to give himself up as a hos
tage to prevent further executions. Halt to the slaughter seemed
dim. . '
Claiming that there was little hope for peace with Japan, Sec
retary of the Navy Knox sent up another trial balloon for the ad
ministration. It was a pretty good guess this week that as Wash
ington's attitude toward Japan stiffened, the chances of Japa
nese aggression would get slimmer. Fascism operates like that.
In testifying before the House committee studying price fixing
legislation, Labor Statistics head Lubin-showed that labor costs
had risen 1.2 per cent in the past year; living
costs had risen 19 per cent; that any possible
increases in wages by labor would never come
near the cost of living; hence he said, "Why
set a ceiling on wages?"
Reports from the steel industry indicated that profits in this
industry had risen over 50 per cent in the first half year over
last year. The net income had jumped from $82,200,000 to $128,-
500,000 for the nine major companies. At week's end, however,
Donald Nelson said that there still were and would be shortages
in steel, as well as copper, magnesium, aluminum and other vital
raw materials, where similar industrial conditions, exist.
Oil czar Ickes raised the restriction of oil on the eastern sea
board, stating that the shortage was over. While bickering still
went on over the building of a pipe-line by the major companies,
Thurman Arnold in St. Louis showed where other experiments
in pipe-lines had been disastrous. He showed where prices for oil
had actually gone up with a pipe line from Tulsa to Kansas City,
citing the cost per barrel over this route as 184 cents, with the
price rate jacked up to 774 cents. At week's end, many Americans
felt relieved that they wouldn't be confronted with conflicting re
ports on how much gas they should fill their tanks with.
The revision of the Neutrality Act seemed a certainty Friday,
as the administration announced that it had a clear-cut majority
favoring arming of merchant ships. To spur on
Congressional action were reports that two more
Panamanian ships had been sunk by Nazi raid
ers in the Atlantic
The trials of labor-racketeers George Browne and Willie Biff,
charged with collecting $550,000 from movie magnates threaten
ing walk-outs was dearing, proving that a conviction would be
soon at hand.

man class are," we flatly stated m an
editorial one morning last week.
That morning seasoned politicians,
accustomed to treading and speaking
softly, wagged their fingers and said
that we ought to be so frank. We pa
tiently explained that we printed what
we believed to be true and pertinent
and walked on.
That afternoon we. found a letter
from one of the candidates for the
freshman presidency.
He declared that the campus' present
attitude toward freshman elections is a
discredit to the University and to Car
olina student government. He de
plored the fact that freshmen look up
on their elections as a farce, that up-
perclassmen regard freshman offices
as a political graveyard. The candi
date believed that these freshman of
fices should be the cradle of student
government.
He asked that the freshman class be
given an even break in student govern
ment. Since the candidate was unquestion
ably sincere and since the issue con
cerns more than the freshman class,
we thought it worthwhile to devote a
column to it.
It is impqssible for a body as large
as the freshman class, after only a
month of existence, to vote an intelli
gent election. The absence of any feel
ing of unity is proven by the fact that
less than 200 first year men took the
trouble to vote last Thursday. As
piring freshman politicians only muddy
the scene as they seek to put their men
into office with high school tactics.
Fraternity cliques find it easy to push
their candidates in by trading com
mittee appointments for block pledge
class votes.
If the four freshman officers thus
elected were to have any. significant
duties, we would holler in vain to "keep
the elections clear." But their duties
are almost non-existent. They make
nominal appointments of committees
which have already been determined by
campaign week promises. They en
gage a swing band to induce the ma
jority necessary to pass the class bud
get. They take part in the figure of
the freshman dance.
What is true of the freshman officers
is almost as true of officers in the other
three classes. Classes, as such, have
no part in student government.
During the past two years, the Stu
dent Government committee, after leng
thy discussion, gave up trying to find
new duties for class officers. It saw
that Carolina, like other large institu
tions, will eventually find that the dis
tinction of classes serves even less pur
pose than the officers of those classes.
Consequently the committee intro
duced into the Student Legislature last
winter a class reorganization bill ruling
that the offices of secretary and treas
urer be combined and that all commit
tees be reduced to one executive commit
tee of 15 members. Immediate benefits
of the bill would be that it would help
the classes to perform efficienty what!
few duties they had. In the long run it
would have been the first step to effect
the shorter ballots necessary to more
intelligent elections of officers actu
ally to student government represent
atives to the legislature and council.
The bill was defeated by some poli
tics-conscious representatives who were
reluctant to sacrifice their own fun
for better student government.
, Before spring elections, the bill will
be brought up again. When it is, the
new legislature, we hope, will choose
efficient student government instead of
political indulgence.

We were sitting in Dr. Emery's class
in Philosophy when he decided to give
us a quizz. in tne iirst question it
was necessary . to analyze as to
definition the following statement,
"HOSPITALITY IS MAKING PEO
PLE "EEL AT HOME WHEN
THAT'S WHERE YOU WISH THEY
WERE."
O
We wish to thank Mr. Fred Lewis
for his letter of the 23rd. . He has
dared to bring out something that we
have been annoyed by, but have not
had the necessary gumption to do any
thing about. . The following are ex
cerpts from his letter.
. . . Here's what's been troubling me:
Do girls need more sleep than boys?
In case you've never had to answer that
question before, I'll state it different
ly: Are girls essentially more wicked
than boys? In still another way, I
ask, Do girls at North Carolina like
their dorms so much
vH5r tha they must be in
at 10:30 every night? I
. . .. .Please tell me why it is that the
female of the species needs more sleep
on Thursday night than she does on
Friday. . . . How is it that a girl can
be trusted to conduct herself like a lady
till two on Friday night, one on Satur
day night, but on all other days, only
till 10 :30. What makes a girl so treach
erous on week days and so nymph-like
on week-ends. ..."
Well, Mr. Lewis, we take off our
hats to you. There could be no finer
statement of the facts than what you've
given.- The girls are, however, not both
nymph-like and treacherous. They
must be classed as either one or the
other. If we classed all coeds as nymph
like then they could stay out as long
as they wanted on any . night, but the
percentage of them that,. would, still
be nymph-like" at the end of the year
would be less. On the other hand if
we classify them all as treacherous,
they would be kept in on all nights and
that wouldn't please us either. Your
letter was much enjoyed and we hope
the campus realizes by reading it that
there is definitely something wrong
with asking the girls to be in on 10:30
every night during the week.
and Henry, we did manage to enjoy
ourselves. Many thanks to Fish Wor
ley. Only one suggestion do we offer
Shirley, when you wiggle what it is
necessary to wiggle in the rumba, don't
wiggle so hard. We found two or three
broken windows after the dance was
over.
We were rushing through Mangum,
when we heard two freshmen yelling
at each other. We caused outside the
door to listen in. One fellow was, from
the sound of things, trying to hammer
a nail into the wall backwards. After
trying for a while
he stopped and said
to his roommate.
"Look at this, They've put the head on
the wrong end of this nail." His room-
-mate laughed knowingly and replied,
"Why you stupid fool, that nail was
made for the wall on the other side of
the room."
