"Success depends on three things: who says it, what he says, how he says it; and of these three things, what he says is the least important." Motley. ; ' . "' " - - K 8y Elsie lyoa "An honorary is merely a friend that shakes your hand publicly and says, 'Well done, student' ", is the defi nition given to honorary societies by a member of Valkyries. If this definition is true, then why must the Valkyries and similiar hon orary organizations go through the process of charging each honored stu dent some $10 for a key, making him attend meetings," and giving him cer tain added duties, when he would be just as effectively honored in front of a university convocation if he were called up, given a public handshake, and a word of praise? If, as several members of the Valky ries believe, the whole purpose of the organization would be lost if the mem bers were to do too much work when they are supposedly busy with other activities, why bother trying to keep up an organization? Yet these same Valkyries, who do not feel they should have to do much for that honojrary or ganization, are trying to keep up the organization by worrying about its prestige1 Yes, we admit, this is "sour grapes," although we anounced our intention last May of never accepting member ship in this organization. It appears that any person who dares to criticize anything on this campus, particularly criticism of an organization from which he has been omitted, is accused of o Professors Cooperate . , Two college professors were talking to their students about the Campus Honor Code. Said one: "I respect the Honor Code, and I expect my students to respect it. College students should know right from wrong. No matter, what their background or environ ment thev should be able to understand and abide by the Caro lina wav of living. If I were to see a member of my class 'under) the weather I would be glad to help him home. I will be glad to j should not hinder the process of free help any student at anytime. But any student who violates the I speech and free thought, and the voic- Honor Code will never get sympathy from me nor should he get sympathy from anyone else." Said the other: "On the quiz I gave' last Friday there is some evidence that cheating is taking place in this class. There is no place for a cheat in my. classroom nor in the WORKING University. - If I find an individual cheating, he HERE can make an A on every exam for the remainder of the course, and I will fail him. I'd rather have a failing student in my class 10 to 1, than to have one that tries to get by on notes or from looking at someone else's paper." These two professors realize that there is an Honor Code on our campus, and they want it to stay here. It is our belief that in the future they will not have to worry about anyone cheating on one of their quizzes. These two talks took approximately six minutes. If other professors would follow suit and impress upon the student body that there is an Honor Code and that it will honor they merit. What good is it work if the students cooperate, Daily Tar Heel could stop its griping and start working on other things which this University needs and should have. "sour grapes." But that accusation ing of what we feel to be legitimate criticism. The present eight members of Val kyries recently decided that they could not tap worthy girls this fall because "biannual tapping would lower the prestige of the organization." Although the membership in this or ganization is supposed to be not more than four per cent of the coed student body, or about 28 coeds as the enroll ment stands at present, the present eight members constitute about one percent of the coed student body. It is difficult, to say the least, to put a limit on leadership, but when that limit is maintained at one percent, it is de priving many deserving girls of what CHANGE NOW o Freshmen, Make Most of Your Opportunities The freshman class this morning gets its first chance to take part in Carolina student government. Preliminary to Thursday's final elections, candidates for representatives to the Student Legis About runoff elections for the president, vice president, secre- lature will be nominated. Candidates for the class honor council, already named by the Student Council, will be introduced in to morrow's paper for final election Thursday. About runoff elections for the president, vice president, secre tary and treasurer, we have only one thing to say. Because we were fed up with the absurd scrambling of frater nities and self-appointed freshman politicos for those empty offices, and because we wanted to show the freshmen what offices were really important, we declared that it didn't matter who the president and his colleagues are. What we said still goes, but we do sincerely hope that the class will pick for its nominal leaders those students who will dis charge efficiently what few duties there are and who will not allow the empty honor to go to their heads. Representatives to the legislature and class honor council are indisputably important. The legislators elected will represent the class in the most powerful student government organization on the tampus. The honor councilmen, who form the class' only liaison with the Student Council, must see that the honor system functions and hold preliminary hearings for its violators. The freshman honor council and legislature representation then are the "cradle of student government." If the class elects quali fied men to these offices, it means that student government lead ers two years hence will have all the more experience and ability. These nominations and elections, we say, will be the freshmen's first chance in Sjtudent government. We hope that they won't muff it. x The Truth The truth of the matter has come out at last France is very happy about the whole thing. At least that's the story distinguished Marcel Deat, pro-Nazi editor in Paris, is spreading in his paper about the situation in France. The Germans have not enslaved or oppressed the people, he says. Untold advantages have poured into the "new France" since German occupation, and the country now has more food, more clothes and more raw materials than "any other nation in warring Europe. . In fact, France's downfall was a good thing, as he, and all other intelligent Frenchmen realize now, and Gay Paree and Mother France are just bursting with happiness. All of which is clearly shown, it is to be supposed; by the shout ing of M. Deat and M. Laval, the attempts on the lives of Nazi officials, the retaliatory shooting of hostages, and the desperate plea of Marshal Petain to the French people not to make trouble for the Germans overrunning their country. The ukase issued on the state of the nation by the French editor going to do the present worthy seniors to be tapped in the middle, of next May when they will leave Carolina in June? What chance will they have either to profit by or contribute to the organi zation? The eight Valkyries are willing to admit that there were, several mistakes and omissions made by their predecessors last spring. They admit it, but will not . even try to correct these mistakes and omis sions. Certainly they will lose much more "prestige" (since that is what they seem to be interested in) by leaving such errors uncorrected, than because they break tradition and tap in the fall to take in more than a handful of girls. Are not Gladys Barnes, Mary Lib Nash, Elanor Berrnert, Jennie Wells New some, June Love, Dot Cutting, Lucy Darwin, and Jean McKenzie, to name only a few, are these not campus leaders? o If Valkyries exists only to publicly congratulate and give eight girls a chance to guard their "prestige", then they might as well admit that the hon or of membership is small and that the organization is useless. Or, if Valky ries exists to recognize true leadership, then the members should at least have he courage to correct those mistakes which they themselves admit have been made. But if. on the other hand, Val kyries exists to accomplish some con structive end, we await their move ments with bated breath. 'Worley's Frolics, Needs Talent . "Fish Worley Frolics," the event of the year, to be held Saturday night from 7 until 8:30 in Memorial Hall, needs talent. Fish and Fred Caligan are search ing the campus for amateur talent, and they'd like to have all comers wan der into Fish's office in Graham Me morial today. 4 Send the DAILY TAR HEEL home ACXOS3 1 rtnJ of faro a Kind of Cower 18 Imitated 14 Across tatenrcalBff spac 15 Toogbea br M 14 Remors corerlac layer IT PolroesUa breech cioth 15 Havinr loaf hall IS EnfUa puUIc school SO Particular thing 31 Before now 23 Take It easy 33 BOnd X tree 3 Allow 2S Donkeys 37 Em diahe 30 Told orer la detail 34 Want 39 Mountain where Noah's ark retted 40 Western state 41 Roman bousenoU rode 43 Oare 44 Fundamental unit 46 Bottoms of feet 50 Dummy for fencers oi Batisnea rally By LASSnOSSXS ANIWU TO rxxrcoca rvzxsx 54 Wine-shaped 87 West Indian ' 1-Anlmated i-Total S3 Micbts before irab 4 Doctrine 5-Lskl&t; spirit f Withered 7 Smeiis 41 Chances f sueceas abonrtae 59 One-dim ensioaal 11 pure 60 City in Pern 1 I,ndierons S Ca-shape4 3 Took out 4 yrarran fAJEibmo&s Uaed far saaSa 7 Ucderrrouad 5 lcilij s 4tk (Scottish) 10 Imitators 11 Tope of bead 13 Appearing fsav4 13 -FsatU desreaslou 34 Turns oa axis -39 Erpresses streemcBt J Arabian trvx 33 projection a e&J of timber 30 Hit anarply 31 Before . -33 Metal rteeptaelo 33 Uan'a name 35 Oenns ef carta . 3 S Rodent ' 37 Town ta Xrtherlfi 3 Sorrowful 43 Harinc sepals 43 et free 45 Kind of sheep Business transactions 47 Clad ef trait . 4( More crippled 4 Delete 13 Texas military landmark fl 8ameimt44 difficulty 4 Terminated 8S OCioe furniture 87 Enemy of Hannibal 8 Waters tf Tbw Staff SHORT CUT I 2 3 M I IS Ifc fl 3 9 I IO III ItX l 7 " " "T 55 " 5T" " ST 55 w T" 6u. . 1 f I - MS s 57 5d - 11 If 11 1 1 Lr 1 11 SEEING DOUBLE Signifying Nothing By Harley Moore Now that we have relieved the great oad from our peanut mind in the last column, today we shall talk about the adventures of Joe Blow. Joe just blew in from an attempted trip to the Windy City where he had planned to see his girl, Agusta Wind. The trip ended in a West Virginia cow pasture, and Joe blames the whole failure on his identification card. You see, Joe is a Carolina Student, and like all Carolina Students, he pos sesses somebody else's identification card. At least it has his name on it, but somewhere in the process, a bunch of FBI Rogue's Gallery photos became infiltered in the student shots. Also the long number by his name doesn't help clear up the matter in the least, ; Anyway, one nice bright day, Joe set out for the Windy City. He stopped in at the bank to procure travelling ex penses. The teller appeared unusually buoyant on this particular PM. "Have you any identification?" he brightly asked as Joe presented the check. O . "Sure," Joe confidently announced as he flipped his Carolina (must pre sent at all football games, etc.) identi fication card across the counter. , "That's real cute," laughed the teller, and added, "Uh . . . have you any iden tification?" In desperation, Joe pulled out his wallet, produced a picture of his baby sister with "Darling Baby Blow, in scribed, gulped, and asked, "Will this do? It's a little old but. . . ." "That's fine," said the teller cheer ily. "In what denominations do you want your money?" "Two nickles are ok," and Joe pock eted his fortune, whistled his way mer rily toward the highway. ... o- As he wiggled his thumb at a long black Touring Buick, he noticed that its four tough looking occupants were giv ing him the once over. "Ah, here's a ride," gleefully thought Joey, as the Buick pulled off onto the shoulder. One of the tough looking characters stepped out of the car as Joe ran up, and gruffly asked, "Are you 'Little Joe?" "Why yes. How did you. , ." "Well, come on. Gitn. The plane's waitin' ta take us ta Chicago. Say! How are we supposed to know you're 'Little Joey'?" brings to mind the tale that is told of a letter written by an Eng lish prisoner in a German concentration camp during World War I. He told the folks back home about how well things were going in camp, how nicely the officials treated him, how warmly they clothed him and richly fed him, giving him such luxuries as tea and butter. The letter concluded : "P.S. Uncle Ike was shot last week for complaining." B.B. Michigan Daily. Joe was amazed at the proffered plane ride to Chicago but he thought fully handed them his Identification (must be presented at ; all -football games, etc.) Card. " Yeh," ' said the leader after one glance. "He's Little Joey alright." Then to Joey, "Did ya get the dough from the bank?" "Yeah," hesitated Joey, suspicious that they wanted his two nickles. , "That's good. We was afraid you'd have some trouble." "Well, I did. But I outsmarted them," modestly confessed Joey. "Good boy," said the leader. "Well, well settle up later." A few hours later they were flying low over West Virginia. The fog hung like a phantom around the ship. The pilots stared into the blind soup, fear ing any moment to be confronted with an emergency. All aboard were tense with dread. The crackling radio choked on some last minute news reports. . . announced the thwarting of a gigantic robbery plot. The police have apprehended a hardened criminal, Jos eph Waddabreez, alias 'Little Joey. wanted in seven states. Little Joey was carrying the $100,000 loot which was robbed last week from the First National Bank in an amazingly clever plot. J oey was found crying by the side of the. road, f Apparently he had been awaiting the arrival of some con tact group which never, arrived. Com missioner John J. ... ." ; And shortly afterward, our hero Joe Blow, not to be confused with the vil lainous Little Joey, picked himself out of a West Virginia cow pasture, and listened to the sound of the motors, dying in the black overhead. He care fully dusted himself off and mused, "It's lucky I had on my light fall suit." Tillett Calls Deadline On Yearbook Pictures "If they don't get took by Satur day, they ain't going in," Yackety Yack editor Charlie Tillett stam mered yesterday as he called all juniors and seniors to have their pictures taken this week. "It's harmless and they have al ready been paid for," Tillett said. He added that Wootten-Moulton is able to take care of the students at almost any time without any stand ing in line. We had lunch at the Pi Lamb house Sunday and that fraternity sure knows how to be hospitable. We tried for hours to persuade Whit Lees to let us buy a meal ticket, but no luck. . While we were there we heard that Mar- vin (DOC) Rosen tried to find a better way to get down to the first floor than by using the stairs. He just crashed right through the ceiling. O The Gordon twins, who everyone re members for their harmonica playing in the Sound & Fury show, have start ed another mad house of confusion. The story was told to us as follows : One of the Gordon twins entered the Caro lina Bicycle shop right next to Ab's Book Shop and asked some questions concerning a bicycle. A pretty young lady was also talking to Julian about her cycle. While the owner was back in the rear of the shop the first twin started a conversation with the young lady. '"Did you go to the Ford ham game?", "Swell game we played wasn't it?", "Do you go to school here?" were just a few of the questions he asTced the young lady. The young lady answered all and continued to con verse with him till he left the store. About five or ten minutes later Gordon twin number two entered the shop. The young lady said hello and got a rather unfamiliar reply. Again the owner went to the rear of the shop and the same conversation started all over a- gam. "Did. you go to tne uoranam game?" the second twin asked, and he asked all the other questions that twin number one had asked. The young lady thought he was crazy. Why he was just in here a minute ago. It was just a few hours ago that somebody finally persuaded her that she wasn't seeing things. - Jimmy Cox, an upper classman, re ceived a letter from a friend. The let ter read: "Dear Mr. Cox: I understand from a friend of mine that you have been taking my girl out. I also under stand from this friend that you have been seen kissing and hugging her. I will ex pect you at my room at three this afternoon to settle this mat ter." Now Jimmy didn't know who the girl was that this irate friend was referring to, but he wasn't satisfied to let the fellow think that by not answering that he was guilty. He decided to teach the friend a lesson. He wrote in re turn, "Dear Sir, I received your form etter and I will be glad to join the meeting at three." Although mentioning names might cause some people some embarrass ment, the story is good enough to tell without names. A student in one of the more powerful fra ternities sent a telegram to a larcre radio com pany. The telegram read, "Send radio if good, will send check." The com pany immediately replied, "SEND CHECK IF GOOD, WILL SEND RADIO."
