"There are occasions when it is undoubtedly better to incur loss than
to make gain." Plautus.
o A Mental Case
Neurasthenia psychiatrists call it! Its central symptoms are
mental and physical fatigue. Its victims are depressed, discourag
ed, burdened with a sense of inferiority. '
Neurasthenia is an overactive response to stimuli that exhausts .
its victims and renders them excessively conscious of their pains
' and fatigue. (Hysteria, on the other hand, is a
HYSTERIA negative underactive response, and the hys
ISHERE teria is usually quite cheerful and calm about
his state.) Educated persons, psychiatrists tell
us, highly developed personalities, tend toward neurasthenia, the
more primitive toward hysteria.
The worried state of neurasthenia is usually produced by sug
gestion; and, we are told, removed by suggestion.
All of which is extremely academic or psychiatric; but it con
vinces us that the North Carolina football team is suffering not
so much from physical defects but it is a mental case !
Our boys have been told erroneously and too of ten that they
are "rinky-dink" football players. The "mediocrity of our mater
ial' has been talked about and written about so much, that our
team has become neurasthenic They've been told how inferior-
so many times they are, that psychasthenia a particularly dis
abling form of paralysis has set in and if not retarded promptly,
rigor mortis may be just around the corner.
We don't beloncr to the school of diagnostician who says "Caro
lina just hasn't got any football players this year they're all
rinky-dinks!" We believe we have some very fine football players
and if an inspirational spark can be found to offset this terrific
neurasthenia, our team will be restored to the normal health it
enjoyed in the Fordham game earlier this season.
If the psychiatrists are right, that it's the power of suggestion
can cure neurasthenia, we'd like to suggest to our coaches and
players that a lot of loyal Carolina alumni, students and friends
think that Carolina still has the same splendid team that played
Fordham on October 11. Pull up your socks, boys! Grab your hel
mets! We believe in you wholeheartedly! Let's stop worrying
about "what's wrong!" Let's get right again!

Batt, The CPU, Ana The Crisis
A comer in the government will be here tonight.
At 8:30 in Memorial hall, the CPU will present William L. Batt,
head of raw materials in 0PM. A liberal businessman, an adminis
trator with imagination, and a man whose political future is
bright, Batt is one of the few big-wigs in the defense effort today
who has consistently told the truth about defense.
When the Aluminum Company of America fell down miserably
a few months ago in meeting defense needs, Batt was the only
man who predicted that the "shortage would exist. All the way
down the line, he has had a consistent policy of knowing exactly
what the score has been on defense production.
William L. Batt is the type of man who will pull America
through" the crisis. He is the kind of a manager-leader whom the
people can trust and place. their confidence m. We'll hear a lot
more of him as this fighting business begins to bear down on our
lives as men and women struggling for a better freedom.
In Passing
"The greatest thing in science is the scientific method, con
trolled and rechecked observations and experiments, objectively
recorded with absolute honesty and without fear or favor. Science
in this sense has as yet scarcely touched the common man, or his
leaders. We cannot afford to declare a moratorium on honesty, on
integrity, on objectivity, on experimentation, for that would take
us straight back to the jungle. The way of science is away from
the jungle, away from its violence and fears. The scientific method
demands that we suspend judgment until we know the facts. It
demands honesty, integrity and industry in ascertaining the facts.
The scientific method and dishonesty are incompatible. But sci
entists are but human beings and they frequently make mistakes
both in,facts and interpretations. Now, is our age conspicuous for
honesty and integrity? Is there less lying and deceit locally, na
tionally, internationally, today than yesterday? The answer is
all about us. As I see it, ours is not an age of science." Professor
Anton J. Carlson of the University of Chicago disputes the wide
spread idea that this is an age of science.
COED
DOPE
We took our usual seats in the tenth
row, to watch the motion picture
"LYDIA" roll on before us. Although
we enjoyed it and told everybody else
to see it, we did worry about the ef
fect of portions of it on the Carolina
coed, or on the Carolina
gentleman. Edna May
Oliver continually
states, "Once aboard the lugger and
the gal is mine." This might start an
epidemic of "Once in the Arboretum
and the coed is mine." Another por
tion of the picture worried us also.
We were afraid many of the coeds
would stand on the shore of University
lake waving a lantern. Although there
aren't many large boats, with handsome
romeos, floating around on University
lake we're sure that fleets of boats the
size of the Normandie would appear
if coeds like Miss Kipp or Miss McDo-
nough were waving the lantern.

After the performance of THE
MALE ANIMAL in the Playmaker
theater, we stopped Arty Golby. coming
out of the stage door. Arty is the
ellow youH see (if you see the show)
do a great job portraying Ed Keller
a cigar puffing mogul. We teased
Arty by trying to make our questions
sound like a real inter
view. We asked, "Mr.
Golby, now that you've
been successful on the stage, what do
you think of our country and our wo-
Arty decided to carry the jest
through so he put on the airs of a
foreigner just getting off the boat and
replied, "Your country, eet is the most
magnificent and your women ... well
beauty is only skin deep." To Mr.
Golby we say, yes, beauty is only skin
deep, but who wants to be a cannibal.

We learned from our usual source
in Sound & Fury (the polite Randy
Mebane) that Fred Caligan has re
signed from the organization. This
will come as a disappointment to the
campus as a whole because everyone
enjoyed Fred's tap
dancing. The reason
for the resignation
red told us was that due to the courses
he was taking, he didn't think he could
devote as much time as he'd like (love
is the word we'd use) to Sound & Fury.
Fred will most likely join Sound &

Fury again in the Winter quarter so
our hearts are a little lighter.
Well friends we almost did it. We
almost caught STUDENT KANE the
mysterious author in Tar & Feathers.
It happened as we were walking in
front of the newly opened Durham
Dairy. A little newsboy passed us with
his buddy. One of them
FOOK said to the other, "Gee,
D0PE Bobby, do you know
who that fellow .with the hat over his
eyes was. "Yeh, I think he's that
'student Kane' fellow everybody is
talking about." The other little fellow
just stood there with his mouth hang-
. . . i i
ing open, Dut we were not so scarea
we dashed after the fellow the kids
had pointed to. Much to our misfor
tune he crossed the street and walked
into Sutton's, (the magazine library)
Who ever it was just picked up a mag
azine and stood with the rest of the
crowd that was reading magazines so
we lost him, but sooner or later "stu
dent Kane" will slip up and expose
himself. We can wait. . . .

iignifying Nothing
By Barley Moore
Note this is not "Letters" column
but Signifying NothingI!
Rome, Italy
To the Editor of the Daily Tar HeeL
I wish to protest rather strongly a-
gainst a poem which was found pinned
to your bulletin board in the Tar Heel
office. Although it seems directed to
me, it naturally can have no bearing
on the true facts.
This is the grossly incorrect poem
which I found:
Mussolini, whatsa da mat? .
Where'sa da Roman Empire at?
" Alia da time she's a getta littler.
- Now she all belong to Hitler.
Anyone with a whit of sense can see
the erroneous implication here perpe
trated. The author of this poem evi
dently wishes to spread the false fact
that my pal, Adolf has gained control
of my domain. Naturally this is silly.
Contrary to what Goebbels and DNB
may lead you to believe, my propagan
da machine can tell you that it is I who
have gained control of Germany. But
we have been very kind to the German
people and to my friend Adolf. Adolf
has a "leader" complex. He is con
vinced that he is a second Napolean
and is destined to conquer the world.
Of Aurse, this is absolutely fallacious
for it is well known that I am the con
queror so destined. But in my supreme
altruism, I have let Adolf and his ar
mies have their fun, and run all over
Europe. And when he gets in a little
difficulty, once in a while I help him
out, as I did in Greece. The strategy
there was simple Adolf laid the trap,
I pretended retreat, and the Greeks
followed deftly into the trap. It was,
of course, all my plan.
We have also offered opportunities
for many German soldiers to come down
to Italy for a gay.time of vacationing.
It is evident that they like our country
much better than Germany for there
have been scores of these soldiers to
remain here. Almost anywhere in
Italy, one can today see these German
soldiers, having the time of their lives.
Therefore I think it only fair that
you see that the poem is retracted and

The hallowed and ivy-clad walls of
Yale University to the north remained
unbending last November 8 for the Sa
die Hawkins fiasco even though the
creator of the monster, Al Capp, was
present, our scouts report. It was a
flop in no uncertain terms; yet Yale
men flex their oar-arms in vehement
declaration that Capp is one helluva
swell guy ... so vre have Sadie Hawkins
day tomorrow and "helluva swell guy"
Capp is to grace the Carolina scene to
judge the contest . . . home pride and
assurance fills us as we place our bets
on Worley's nose to show the inadequa
cies of Yale in having a good time.

Carolina's legendary Kay Kyser
played an engagement in Richmond
last weekend. Earlier in the year,
German club contract man John Dif
fendal received word from Kyser's
booking agent that the "ole professor"
wouldn't return from the west coast
until after Christmas. The German
club .was trying to get him for Fall
Germans; an appropriate idea but sty
mied by an uncooperative agent'.". .
along the same line, Charlie Spivak
broke a verbal contract with the club
for the weekend . . . he'd have been nice,
too . . . thus Donahue will play good
music, but not the best . . . the club is
also gritting its teeth over the $500
they have to pay the government in
taxes for just the one weekend reason
one why they cannot give over the pub
lic concert receipts, this year paid for
the students by the Student Union, to
the dormitory social room fund.

Tjo assure coast-to-coast telephone facilities adequate
to meet future defense needs, the Bell System is con
structing a 1600 mile, $20,000,000 cable line between
Omaha and Sacramento.
' Several newly developed "plow trains," working from,
opposite ends of the line, are burying the cable for
maxim Tim protection. They dig deep furrows, lay two
cables in them and cover them with earth all in one
continuous operation. Their meeting will mark com
pletion of the first all cable line across the continent.
Carrier systems -will be operated in the cables one
direction of transmission in each.
This vast project is just one of thousands in which
the Bell System is now engaged to provide additional
communication facilities so vital to
Army, Navy and defense industries.
