Ever so often we run into something that we believe really deserves some extra credit and unrewarded effort. Around the Daily Tar Heel, that something has come up in the form of the Red Cross-WSS War Fund Appeal which is trying to raise a thousand dollars. This year, more than ever before, Carolina students have been solicited to help various drives and organizations. This year it is cost ing Carolina students more than ever before to come to Carolina. But overnight the student's picture in the war conflict has changed. In the past we have more or less felt that a student should be al lowed to use his own discretion in deciding whether his desires or other persons' needs were more important. Times have changed, though, and now the Daily Tar Heel asks that every student see no alternative but to give to give 'til it hurts, if you wiU. Ten minutes after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor the Red Cross was at work. Caro lina students were at Pearl Harbor. Fraternity brothers, classmates, brothers, sweethearts, all received Red Cross aid if they needed it. Who was responsible? Those of us at home who contributed to the Red Cross last year. We are not trying to appeal to a person's sentiments, but as we think of the Red Cross War Fund Drive we can see that money contributed now will be used to help members of this year's stu dent body. You or I may be receiving Red Cross aid next year this time. We want the best medical service we can get. We want to be taken care of if we are' injured. We want our parents notified if we are made prisoners of war. These things, and more, the Red Cross does. Just as important and probably closer to us at this time is the World Student Service Relief Fund. There are six million prisoners of war in Europe at least 50,000 of these are stu dents. One thousand, two hundred and ninety-two Americans have already been taken prisoners of war in the Far East. The World Student Service Relief Fund looks after these students. Food, clothing and shelter are provided for them; even transportation if they want to come home. Fellows your ownv age are slowly going crazy in concentration camps. Your money will send recreation equipment and books to bring them new life. Yes, it's a worthy cause, and it's just a mat ter of give, give, give. What's the use of having if you don't put what you have to good use? Do your bit to help. Give up a date, or a movie or a meal. You won't miss it, and the money you give will help to save someone's life and happiness, and the life and happiness of the world. MY SAY... By Elsie Lyon Both parties have thrown their candidates in to the elections ring and once again Carolina will be faced with the choice of student officers and 'heads by personalities rather than by the ideals and principles for which they stand. Candidates will be so busy saying, "Hey, How You?" that they will not take a minute to ask themselves "What will I do with my office, how will I use it to improve student government and benefit those who are my constituents?" Yet these are ques tions which each candidate ought to answer for himself and the voters during the course of his campaign. Probably the most outstanding feature of Car olina elections is the lack of - platforms. Candi dates stand for election on their own personali ties, not on what they could do for the campus as a whole. And nothing is more misleading than personalities which are strangely much more genial, efficient, and charming during "politick ing" time. It's a great disappointment to see some of the genial students for whom we voted last spring falling down on their jobs this year. Yet we had no concrete basis on which to choose our favorites. And neither party has a platform. Efficiency, after all, is not a question of mere ly doing what a predecessor has done. Nothing causes an organization or ideal to stagnate so quickly as a year-by-year repetition of doing the same old things. To be efficient means to be dy namic, to be constantly doing new things and looking for ways to serve the campus better. Be cause we are all conservatives in the sense that we find it easier to go through the same old mo tions rather than new ones, it is a rare person who thinks up good ideas and carries them through. But the nominees are supposedly rare people and as such they should make it their busi ness to think up good ideas and carry them out. There is no dearth of problems which would -i make good platform material on this campus. For example, should we or should we not have a con stitution? If so, what should be the relative pow er of the PU Board and the student legislature? Should all social activities be coordinated under one representative student legislature, or should such semi-autonomous bodies as the Grail and . Dance Committee continue to wield final social power? Prospective class officers should decide how theyare going to apportion their budgets.

By Brad McCuen Saturday night after the dance, Ray McKinley dashed over to the Sigma Chi house for a small session. The main purpose of the jamming was so that Ray, who is starting his own band when he breaks away from Bradley this week, could audition some of the campus cats. Ray said nothing definite but he is interested in Milt Norman, guitar, Mac Mac Dougal, sax, and Frank Settlemyer, piano. The boys all play with Freddy Johnson as does Warren Simpson who sat in with Bradley's trumpet section all day. Simpson refused an offer to stay on with Will. Bob Saunders, Johnny Satterfield's ride trumpetman, last week turned down anfof f er from Teddy Powell who was touring this section. O Saturday afternoon Will Bradley showed us a picture that was taken in 1935. It was a shot of Ray Noble's band in which we spotted five present-day big-name bandleaders. Noble had just come to our country from his native England and had formed a band from available muscians in New York. Will was sitting up in the trombone section next to a chap named Glenn Miller.

O HOT NOTES: As a musical show that Rooney-Garland "Babes on Broadway" was certainly a lemon. IN PASSING ... The University Dance committee, long looked on by the campus as a detective agency of blood hounds with hypersensitive proboscises, has just performed Carolina dance-goers with a service that should wipe out that unjustified prejudice. Available now to all students having imports is an informal four-page booklet that they can send to their dates before the weekend comes. Only printed matter in the booklet is a short letter which states simply and briefly the written and unwritten rules about Carolina dances why Car olina men do not send flowers, how a state law prohibits a boy from paying for a girl's room, the rule against leaving the dance and returning without a chaperon, and others. Little matters, yes, but they can and have caused the Caro lina gentleman a lot of embarrassment when his date didn't understand them in advance.

Benny Goodman's buxom vocalist, and economical plan for class entertainment which will please all class members? If they are not going to spend so much money, should they even collect such large class fees? With the cost of education rising, it might be well for the class es to do their bit in making education available to more students. On publications, candidates might well take a stand.

No one minds, of course, helping the needy through orthodox channels, but when one is continually begged going to and from classes leading to em barrassing situations several times a quarter, some official steps should be taken to eliminate the public pestilence.

(From the New Yorker) The typical Carolina student now leads a somewhat trying life what with crawling from a warm bed in the middle of the night to at tend a class in hygiene where he will be told that eight hours sleep is ab solutely essential, for attending phys ed swimming classes while it snows on the roof of the pool, and expecting Uncle Sam to wave a beckoning hand at any time.

To The Editor: The article on Playmaker Broad casts in the February 10 issue of the Daily Tar Heel erroneously implies that during the first year of broad casting "more of the material used was in the form of adaptations of one-act plays." As a matter of cold record, "most of the material" was not adaptations. Fourteen plays were broadcast that first year. Seven were original plays written expressly "with presentation over the air in mind." Seven of the plays were adaptations which makes it fifty per cent and not "most." Of these seven original radio - scripts written and broadcast that first year, one was purchased by Warner Brothers, and is being made into a technicolor movie. Two were published by Samuel French in a volume of radio plays and a fourth is soon tq appear in radio anthology. One Of these original radio plays has been republished three times in vari ous forms. These figures would in dicate that more than fifty per cent of the original work done in that first year was deemed professional enough for publication. During that year when "most of the material used was in the form of adaptations," three other original scripts were written which were broadcast in the following year. In the second year of the new order, original plays only, it was found necessary to broadcast three adaptations. Original plays were still late in coming. In fact this year's broadcast started with an adaptation. In that first year of broadcasting, there was no studio and the equip ment was meager. Radio writing was a new medium. As a matter of necessity (and in order to advertise the programs) adaptations of the folk plays were used but only until original material could, be written. It was a hard, rough, pioneering year and writers, directors and actors worked against terrific odds which have since been removed. However, in that year, the groundwork of the subsequent broadcasting of original plays only, was successfully and firmly laid. A little credit should be due to the pioneers. Finch and Smith l
