LOOKING AHEAD . . . In an unsigned letter to the editor and by an anonymous phone call'to the night office of the After Dr. Loudon's speech under IRC auspices it was a bad surprise for me to notice that there is still one person on the campus, Mr. Evans, who has time at one minute to twelve to speculate on facts directly or more or less indirectly connected with this war. My surprise was even greater when I read that Mr. Evans agrees that we are fighting with our backs to the wall, and that it is later than we think. Since the situation is so serious and almost desperate, I believe that everybody would do better if he tried to dosomething constructive, instead of hailing to healthy skepticism (unfortunately gone, says Mr. Evans) and weeping on the "triumph of emotion over reason." Now we may consider ourselves lucky enough if -we will be able to overcome the adverse tide through a supreme effort for the performance of which we do not need the emotional, and passionate strength which wounded dig nity and interests can give any less than the cold pro ducts of thinking. The assertion that Mr. Loudon showed poverty of ideas, superstition, skilled salesmanship, and first-class card stacking technique propaganda is certainly an in sult to an ambassador who is not a moron, or a sales- - 7 man, or a card sharp. The critique that the history, presented by. him was factually correct but not com prehensive is of scarce value, because as Mr. Evans knows, Europe's history as well as that of America, can hardly be summarized in an hour talk on a subject only partly related to it, and because the ambassador did not even try to give us a complete expose of it, probably assuming that we know something about it. To be sure he did not fail to stress the past mistakes of the Dutch. Now I believe Mr. Evans will agree with me that numerous examples of German aggressiveness can be cited in times of political and economic-hegemony as well as in times of political and economic submission. He will also recall that Germany, like a few other coun tries in Europe, has completely lacked any experience in democratic government during her century long life, not. even the Weimar republic being classifiable as such. Within a year, it is predicted that over a third of the people who now drive around in automobiles Daily Tar Heel, sixteen individuals known as the will be going to work on bicycles.

O JL V These men maintain' what is called the "black market." They are sheer opportunists who think this war will be won by the other fellow. To advise the consuming public about .conser vation of purchases, how to use existing commodi ties to the best advantage, and to allow John Doe to be informed on when to buy, what to buy, and what he can buy, the Office of Student Civilian Defense has set up a Consumers' Research depart ment, headed by several students in the marketing department. This groups will print from time to time such information that might be of interest and benefit to consumers in their everyday problems. Therefore I think it would be fair to consider German militarism a product of environment as well as tra dition, and not of environment alone. But trying to explain political events on the psychological plan is an old noble effort, unfortunately built on an awfully nar row basis. To be sure, imperialistic traditions can be found in the history of Holland, England, and America as well, but none of these nations has such a bloody curriculum as the Germans do. " Mass slaughtering of German Catholics and Jews and the use of the most refined and subtle methods which the sick brains of Goebbels and Streicher and Himmler can find are subjected, are not a product of Versailles. Versailles may have caused Hitler, Mussolini, and the masses of their discontented and desperate followers, but Versailles cannot be invoked as a magic explanation of those fiendish events. Injustices existed before Ver sailles, and German militarism existed before those injustices. , What Dr. Loudon called for may have been hate for the enemy, but can you blame him? The Italian partner of the Axis found out too late that his people will march to defeat unless they start hating their enemies. What Dr. Loudon advocated and there is no proof that he advocated more than that is the complete destruction of the German war machine and the assurance that no such machine will be built again. This was the job we left unfinished in 1918 when we failed to shatter Prussian arrogance by stopping at the Rhine. He cer tainly meant that such a program should be carried out as a part of a greater program of international set tlement which I do not wish to discuss here, but of which the German problem constitutes only a chapter and per haps not the most important one. . Mr. Evans, "truth, science, reason, and human kind ness will not abdicate in favor of lies, half lies, super stition, hysteria and hate." But today, I say today, don't you think it is no time for half-hearted efforts and recriminating reflections?. keyboard ... By The Staff ing investigation of the disloyal few into our own hands, but should rather leave his men to handle that. Action such as you plan could easily cause an other "Dies" investigation of "un-American" ac tivities at Carolina. The last investigation of this sort proved a farce. If you "Matar Boys" continue your unauthorized activities, we predict that they will be made a farce, a farce, however, that will cause much grief and unhappiness to innocent, loyal, law-abiding people whose only fault was to be born in a country that is now our enemy.

News of its excellence is bound to travel of its own accord.

T Ever since last fall we have watched moguls So then I read a Crime Detective: "... a darkened room. A shot ! ... a serial. Wondered if a leak defective Made the office stink ether-ial. Then began some mental labor As I pondered on the thought "Do I need this dental labor? Will he do just what he ought? ; "Is he qualified to serve me? Will he hurt my tender gums? 1 Will the paining shock unnerve me? Does he charge excessive sums?" Sweat had soaked my shirt and collar, Fear assailed my worried head. "There's better ways to spend a dollar Than in this devil's den," I said. And then a scheming thought began Within my fevered, fearful brain. And as I laid my little plan, My sadness turned to joy again. I struggled to my shaking feet, A smile lit up my scheming face; This cunning dentist I would cheat. I'd sneak from out his wicked place. I reached the door without a sound, And silently I looked around. I heaved a sigh, No one was nigh.

During the past week, the neatest trick pulled in the name of national defense was turned in by the lunch eonette. No more refills on coffee is the gag. The reason behind it is that if you don't get refills, you don't use as much sugar. , One boy tried to get around it by assuring the waitress that he was Strictly anti-sugar, but she wouldn't listen. He even told her to stick a round and watch him not using any sugar. But still it was no go. Probably the best suggestion came from the chap who advocated the use of a notary public. You can take the N, P. to meals with you and swear out an affidavit to the effect that you are abstaining from sugar. That would make everything nice and legal. Can't you just see yourself now, guzzling coffee in a self-satisfied manner as weary waitresses haul in cup after cup of refills. All the time the N. P. will be smoking a five cent seegar. There is only one flaw in the. plan. It costs you about 50 cents for the use of a notary public. Let's say you drink four cups of coffee.. Under the new system that would cost you twenty cents. But with the N. P. it would cost $1.55. In addition, you would have to buy him his meal and the five-cent seegar he is smoking. And what is even worse, he will prob ably narrate to you in detail what his new baby called Hitler at the ten weeks mark. The only way out is to become a six-cent milk drinker. O Latest campus rivalry is reported to exist between the Hound of the Baskervilles and Dan. The Hound has been included in several functions recently which have seen fit to omit Dan. In fact the Hound is the only member of the canine race who has ever sung a duet in public with Ger ry Stevens, Charlie Spivak's vocalist. Witness Charlie's concert a week ago Friday. O Last week-end one of our seniors had a pretty unnerving experience while visiting his brother at an army camp in a nearby state. The senior managed to get some military cloths which fitted as well as, anybody else's and spent Saturday night at the camp as one of the boys. Sunday they decided to bum to a neighboring city to see a girl who happened to be a mutual acquaintance of theirs. The soldier-brother persuaded the Great er University's representative to loan him his civilian clothes and our man unwittingly consented. But while they were bumming, our collegiate chum was picked up by the MP and sloshed into the camp cooler. Time about 3 o'clock. They don't do anything to you for bumming except leave you in until your captain identifies you. But this was different. This lad was imper sonating a non-commissioned officer and what made it worse he had filled out some identification cards with ficticious matter. By the time the door of the hoosegow opened at eleven that night and a lieutenant called for him, Carolina's pride had had time for plenty of thinking. . Quivering gently in every limb, he was led before the officer in charge. The officer looked up at him and asked, "What time do you have to get back to school, son?" He got back in time for his 8 :30. O Dr. Frost of the Spanish depart ment tells an amusing story concern ing the pronunciation of the letter "Y" in French. A cockney and an American were hospitalized together and one day Queen Mary came to visit them, her identity unknown to the cockney. In the course of the conversation, she asked him where he had received his wounds. He replied that it was during the battle at "Wip pers." She corrected him with the re mark, "You mean 'Eepre'," giving the correct French pronunciation. ' The conversation continued and the queen had to correct the cockney several times on the pronunciation of the name of the town, but her corrections never seemed effective. Finally she left and the American asked the cockney if he knew he had been talk ing to the queen of England. "Bli mey! And to think that she could have such a case of hiccoughs," he replied. "She She Add Burma Shave Jingles : kissed the hairbrush by mistake. thought it was her husband Jake" "Life is sweet but oh how bitter!

One 10 AM class at Northwestern university was interrupted 15 min utes after it started recently by a loud beating on the door. After a short time, a young man cautiously entered and said briefly: "I'm the Fuller brush man. I had a 9:30 appointment with the professor of this class. May I come in?" The intruder turned out to be a student who had to have some way of getting into the class late without em barrassing questions. We don't think it would work too well at L. S.
