0 Honor Not Ante-Bellum
. Honor and the honor system to many students on our campus
today might seem somewhat faded and a thing of the past. To
those of us who are subject to almost immediate call by the draft
boards, the days when we used to take honor pledges and the
whole idea of taking an examination without a proctor in the room
seem obscure indeed.
Yet. there is something in the way we live and have lived around
here that is tied up with the crisis our nation faces. It is part
ei every one of our lives as individuals, whether we are m the
army next month, freshmen who will complete four years, or
students wno will man places m civilian capacities..
The idea of honor is one that only a man can face and under
stand himself. There can be no real laws to it, just as there is
no law to what a man thinks is right or wrong in the world. It's
up to the individual to act in a way that seems holiest to himself.
The basic lesson we learn from honor is to know how to stand
Am -ww .1? J A A t a 1 w www w
uu uur uwii two ieei, no matter wnat .win nappen. When we learn
to discipline ourselves in our conduct in our dormitories, the way
we live, in our class-rooms, m our daily lives, we are learning
what is commonly called responsibility. Responsibility is nothing

more man being able to be trusted to carry out a job well done

lor himself and for others who have delegated him the authority.
This basic lesson can stick with a man no matter where or under
what conditions he might find himself. If a man is in an army
which is bent on winning military victories, not only is he en
trusted with a duty to carry out' his particular job to the height
01 nis capacity, but he is compelled to work in complete coopera
tion with his fellow soldiers. This is true, even if it means any
sacrince on the part of the individual.
v Then, if a man finds himself in a situation where he is working
"in a defense industry or as a civilian in the warand all civilians
are part ot the common effort he can apply the same lessons he
learned m Chapel Hill under the honor system. He can under
stand how m carrying out his job better, working seven days a
weeK, not buying goods which contain metals needed for defense,
and being as efficient as he can operate, he can understand in nil
these that he has a definite responsibility, an honor to himself
ana nis nation, to cooperate m a job to be done.
Here on the campus during the emergency, the honor system
ana me idea of individual responsibility, and "beintr able to sfanrl
on your own two feet" will continued We will have several direct
manifestations of the military and civilian effort here in Chanel

,ana maivauai trust wften given a job to do will carry on.
These are crucial times in this nation. They are times that in-
" 1 1 1 t t e aw a
voive tne iuture 01 me existence of every student in Chapel Hill.
They are times when we must act like men on all occasions. The
lesson of Chapel Hill, as we must remember it throughout all the
battles we fight in, whether here or abroad, must be: to carry out
the job given you in the best possible manner for your own wel
fare and that of the people you are working with and represent.
Crawling out of the mole hole we
dropped into after the Japanese de
clared war on us, we now brave the
explosions of the bombs to suggest an
other idea to our government in Wash
ington. For years now we have shipped
the J apanese people scrap iron by barge
POSTAGE and by darner Ex
n perts have repeatedly
told us that some day
those little bits of iron and steel would
fall on our own heads. We suggest
that rather than discontinue the prac
tice of sending the J apanese scrap iron
that we show our real sincerity by send
ing them ever increasing amounts of
iron and steel. However, in order to
show our complete good faith we sue
gest that now we send the iron and
steel by SPECIAL DELIVERY, AIR
MAIL. That means that you look out
of the belly of one of our smaller (we're
laughing) bombers and say "Ah there's
the Japanese post office now. Drop
them a special delivery. (BOOOOM)
Delivered, Sir."

If your holidays include a trip to
New York, you'll want to hear some
of the name bands , in action. We've
listed here a few of these bands and the
places where they can be heard.
In the hotel-room league, many top
bands play nightly for dinner and on.
If your taste runs to swing you'll en
joy Benny Goodman at the New York
er, Harry James at the Blue Room of
the Lincoln, Vaughn Monroe at the
Commodore, and Glenn Miller at the
Coa Roupe of the Pennsvlvanm. Or if
it's sweet, you can be lulled by Sammy
Kayeat the Essex House, Eddie Duchin
at the Waldorf, Matty Malneck in the
Rainbow Room of Radio City, Blue
Barron in the Green Room of the Edi
son, Johnfiy Messener at the McAlpine,
Henry King in the Bowman. Room of
the Biltmore, and Guy Lombardo at the
Roosevelt. . 1
In the suburbs you have Claude
Thornhill at the Glen Island Casino,
Tony Pastor at the Log Cabin Farms,
Red Norvo at the Blue Gardens, and
Johnny Long at the Meadowbrook. Jln-
cidentally, UNC night at the Meadow-
brook is Tuesday, December 23.
Count Basie and Jimmy Dorsey split
vacation at the Strand theater with
their personal appearances. Cab Cal
loway is at Manhattan Center, Decem
ber 24. Muggsy Spanier plays at the
Arcadia, Lucky Millinder is up in Har
lem's Savory, and Panchito is engaged
at the Versailles.
If you like hot music, don't make the
mistake that so many people do and
head for Harlem. The best hot jazz
is to be heard down in the Village or
on 52nd Street. Teddy Wilson with
the Boogie-Woogie boys are at the Cafe
Society Downtown while at the Uptown
branch John Kirby keeps things mov
ing. Benny Carter at Kelly's Stables,
Zutty Singleton at Jimmy Ryan's, and
Babe Russin with Billy Holliday at the
Famous Door are the reasons that 52nd
Street is still called Swing Alley. In
cidentally, Stan Kenton with his new
band start a 6-week engagement at the
Door on January 1st. Nick's is always
filled with stale air and good rmusic
furnished either by Ray Condiff or
Marty Marsala.
If Chicago happens to get your visit
Les Brown will be at the Blackhawk,
Griff Wiliams at the Palmer House.
and Jack Teagarden at the Sherman.
"Abe Lincoln in Illinois," by Robert w
Sherwood is a play in twelve scenes
with nine individual sets, and thirty
four different parts. It is episodic, un
evenly constructed, and does not at any
time come within striking distance of
representing a genuine character study
with dramatic fervor.
Even in New York City as the baby
of the Playwrights -Company, (Max
well Anderson, Elmer Rice, S. N. Behr
man, Sherwood, and the late Sidney
Howard), with the name prestige of
Jo Mielziner's super-spectacle sets and
the direction of Elmer Rice, the play
was merely scenic, devoid human emo
tion, evading character study with is-
sues always issues and platitudes.
Even with the play masked behind the
expert professional efforts of Raymond
Massey, Ruth Gor "on and scores of
others, the lines were dead, glib, never
came to life, and made this reviewer
feel that the card catalogue of the Li
brary of Congress was too close at
hand.
The author in trying to give his in
terpretation of democracy, and expla
nation of why democracy has been and
always will be our American code of
life, failed inasmuch as it ,was never
presented theatrically, with active in
stances portrayed on the stage. In
stead, he toyed with the issues, placing
them in the mouths of the characters
and has them discussed as historical
documents would be argued in a high
school class room. v
It is most difficult to comment on the
production in the Playmaker Theatre.
The attempts of the entire company
were admirable considering that it was
working with a sketchy, unimaginative
piece that lacked the warmth of char
acters with mixed emotions. It is dif
ficult to give a role a feeling of in
dividuality and know that its lines are
merely stooge cues for Lincoln's
phrases.
The settings, designed by Lynn Gault
with the aid of Robert Schenkkan, were
breathtaking and fitted nicely into the
production by giving us some of the
background that the author neglected.
The lighting by Harry Held, touched
up the sets and created a nice mood,
giving the play some warmth with the
use of soft colors.
John Parker directed with competen
cy. His management of the mob scenes
and the tempo of the play were well
handled.
Frank Brink acted Lincoln with sin- I
cerity. His performance would have
been much improved had he spoken his
lines more slowly to fit into the char
acter of the lumbering rail-splitter.
His pacing was bad, as there was not
enough contrast to the rapid, stacatto
speeches of other major characters as
Bowling Green, Edwards, Hernden and
Josh Speed. ;
Bob Bowers as Judge Stephen Doug
las, Lincoln's opponent gave us the
most dramatic performance of the even
ing. He was definitely N a politician.
Perhaps not the calculating statesman
that we expected to see in Douglas, but
a raucous, rabble-rousing speaker that
stirred the audience up to its peak of
the evening.
Florence v Busby as Mary Todd was
convincing and made us feel that she
was actually living the part on the
stage.
W. T. Chichester as Mentor Graham,
Phyllis Parker as Ann Rutledge, Noel
Houston as Bowling Green, Arthur Gol
by, Ninian Edwards, Harry Davis as
Jack Armstrong, Fred Hunter as Josh
Speed, Marion Gleason as Nancy Green
and Lionel Zimmer as Seth Gale all
turned in good performances.
JleMeAd,
To The Editor:
I would like to clarify the two some
what misleading articles which ap
peared in Wednesday's paper regard
ing the supper forum at which Mr.
Frank Olmstead will be the speaker.
Although neither of these articles ac
tually said so, both left the impression
that this meeting was being sponsored
by the YMCA. This is not so. Mr.
Olmstead's appearance on this campus
is in no way connected with the local
YMCA program.
The University YMCA 13 one hun
dred percent behind President Gra
ham's policy of freedom and will con
tinue to present all sides of current
questions. However, this meeting does
not happen to be part of our program.
Mr. Olmstead is an employee of the
YMCA and is at present on leave. His
position is his own and does not nec
essarily represent the opinion of the
international, national, or local YMCA.

To The Editor:
I read with considerable interest the
ideas expressed by the IRC about
sending certain types of aid to France
as they appeared in this morning's
Daily Tar Heel.
The most important point, and one
which has often been raised, is that
such aid would help Hitler directly
or indirectly. If such supplies 'are
distributed by the Red Cross I can
not see why they would help Hitler
directly. That they might help in
directly is probably true in that they
