Columns i-ditori o Letters S 1 age Features ONE OR TWO . . . COPS AND RIOTERS . . . Most critical issue on the campus at present " The Carolina student has less disciplinary re is whether the student body next year will pub- straint put upon him than any student at any lish one campus magazine or continue to put out both the humor and literary publications. But the campus is not even aware that the issue exists. Fault lies with the publications themselves including the Daily Tar Heel who have created such a violent tempest in the teapot that no one but ourselves has come to the party. Feuding, personalities, prejudice, an untimely CPU poll and other factors have served only to confuse the campus. We intend now to present the issue as concretely and as objectively as possible. Only after this has been done will the editorial board of the Daily Tar Heel present its own opinion on the issue. O v If you look at the masthead, you will notice that Henry Moll, editor of the new Baby-Esquire, is also a member of the Tar Heel editorial board. In the past he has written edits on the Jarboe thefts, the honor code and several other controversial topics. He has even written some on the issue with which we are now dealing. Moll, however, has now asked for one week's leave while the issue is being exposited and solved, believing that it can be presented with even more impartiality and to the satisfaction of both the Tar an' Feathers and the Mag staffs. other university. He is free to govern himself and whether or not he governs wisely, he still has that power. .This self-government, however, applies only to his campus activities. A large number of students seem to believe that they are immune from arrest by the Chapel Hill police, the alley which was popular until a music maker... , By Brad McCura Trends in Music change every four or five years. Sweet music was the rage until Benny and his friend brought the swing era into promi nence in 1936. The age of the jitter bug and a new vocabulary of slan guage was the result. Now, this fad is on its last legs and the trend is pointing back to music of a calmer nature. " Artie Shaw and Harry James saw the handwriting on the wall last year when they added string sections to their bands. Sweet music is com ing so the best thing we can do is sit back and enjoy it. Just to keep the records straight, we are not admirers of sweet music. As a matter of fact, we got tired of swing and found that way the only modern music of any value and dur ability was called Hot Jazz. Some day we will endeavor to explain what hot jazz is and why it is fifty times superior to Glenn Miller's "String of Pearls" and Tommy Dorsey's "Yes, Indeed."

This misconception should be erased from their minds immediately for a few simple reasons. 0 The college student is presumably of superior intellectual rating. He certainly knows right, from wrong better than a poorly educated farm er. Yet he expects the police to excuse him from starting a cafe brawl. He has studied the princi ples of democracy and realizes that a policing power is necessary for its maintenance. Yet he deeply resents the police trying to discipline him self or his friends. The student must realize that if he is going to get drunk in a public place, he runs the same risk of arrest as any citizen of the town. He must realize that a law is set up for public safe ty and well-being and not for him to flaunt. It cannot be denied that the local, authorities have abused students on a few occasions. Yet by and large, they ignore a great deal of public dis turbance caused by students, whereas a local citizen would be fined heavily for such a violation. The idea of one campus magazine is not a new one. It was discussed by the Publications Union board last fall, was revived in the winter when Mag editor Henry Moll proposed that staffs of JJlf PASSING both magazines collaborate in producing one trial issue in March. Purpose of said issue would be to show that a campus publication could fuse humor, satire, fiction,, cartoons and photographs and avoid current overlappage of material in The student should start realizing his social responsibilities, or if he chooses to ignore them prepare to accept his punishment gracefully. brawl closed the place last year. A fellow named Marley recently fixed the spot up and renamed it The Porthole. Smooth is the only word we can think of to describe it. There is a luxurious bar decorated in blue with mirrors and chrome fixtures. Booths, in which there is enough space to - dance, are just as comfortable as they are attractive. Music for the Port hole will probably be provided by the same group of boys who played so well at the University cafe. O We picked up the present issue of the Duke 'n' Dutchess from that same school and found an article authored by Dick Weidman titled "Cradle of Swing." The article pointed out that Duke was famous as a maker of mu sicians in the name band field and went on to say that Johnny Best, Corky Cornelius, Jimmy and Tommy Farr, and Bruce Snyder were their gifts to the business. Now unless our memory fails us, Johnny Best, who made his name playing trumpet with Artie Shaw, is a Carolina graduate. As for Jimmy Farr and Bruce Snyder, we know that they went to school here because we had classes with them. Tommy Farr, after he graduated from Char lotte High, enrolled at Carolina and played with Freddy Johnson. Dick Weidman is a. swell guy and he plays a fine trombone for the Vince Courtney band. But after all, he can't take Carolina glory and claim it for a school that has to buy its tradition. Something we don't understand: Why stu dents continue to patronize business establish ments" that take advantage of them. Such was the case Sunday night when a local drug store the two mags. The Tar an' Feathers staff, how- charged ten. cents for Coca Colas simply because ever, asserted their complete opposition to the no other establishment m town had them, proposal of a campus magazine, turned down the O ' offer to collaborate, believing that both maga zines should continue to be published.

But, who could wish anything so humane for der Fuhrer ! O It looks as though the CPU is go ing all out over the week of April 23, with three men who hold important positions in our war effort program. Sometimes we are apt to forget the importance of the National scene as we study reports from the battle fields of the worlds. Perhaps, it would be well to note that there will be no more battlefields, no more Na tional scene, no more world if those men fall down on their jobs. Unlike England, the United States has never given much favor to critics of the government in times of emer gency and stress. These men are playing a vital part in keeping the wheels of the government in line; they are healthy signs and do not mar the beauty of the rugged road we are now traveling. Senator Tru man's criticism of the war effort from the platform of Memorial Hall promises to be a thoroughly hot and interesting session. O Signs of Spring: The lazy sound of tennis balls pervading the Lower Quad, Easter bonnets galore, sun bathers, the cow on the front page of Sunday's Tar Heel, more politics, the bees, the leaves, the polo shirts, and young men's fancies. The IRC is flooding the campus with a new sophisticated publicity stunt. From six-inch letters in tht Castillo posters to fraction-inch script on two by four engraved cards to Sir Gerald Campbell's speech which is scheduled for Wednesday night. among the damned . . . with Damtoft (The recent Truman investigation of the Standard OH Company's fail ure to turn over patent on synthetic rubber to the US led this columnist to start some snooping about the re port that a group at Carolina had developed synthetic cokes and had sold the formula to Duke represen tatives.) Saturday morning, the ten-thirty-ites were pictures of absolute misery. One of them was leaning against the entrance to the Y, his tongue lolling out of his mouth, and his eyes in a vacant stare. Another was ly ing in a cramped position on the ground feebly babbling. Still another student was sitting on a wall drinking in big gulps from a bottle of Fitch shampoo, screaming, "I've found one! I've found one!" Fearing that Mor ganton had beaten the Navy to the upper quad, I rushed in the Y and asked one of the patient lads behind the counter what had happened. There were tears in his eyes as he replied that the Y had sold its last coke the night before. The maniacs in fronts, he explained were coke ad dicts who had missed their morning draught and had as a consequence gone out of their minds. His last remark, however, set my blood boil ing. It was, "Do you know that a synthetic substitute for cokes was developed right on this campus and its formula sold to Duke?" He could not tell me who the traitors were but I was determined to track them down. I swore I would go after them like Dick Tracy went after BB Eyes. O After hours of what looked like would be fruitless investigation, I finally got a tip as to who the traitors might be. Mr. Vaughn told that he had seen two boys slip out of the chemistry building with a steaming test-tube and take a sip from it. He said that at this point their eyes lit up like a tilted pin-ball machine and they snuck back into the building. From his description of the pair, I soon deducted who they were. They could be no one else but Ham Beans and Sonny Whiff endal. To make sure that I had made no mistake, I asked the first student who passed if he knew where I could get a little bootleg coke? The student, Ben McKinnon, whispered to me that the aforementioned pair had a con coction they were bootlegging that very much resembled a coke. Con vinced I rushed off to confront them with my evidence. let tne IUture dog population Of this picturesque Stacy piano and Yank Lawson trum- village come into the world under more favor- pet.

"Graduate School Announces 26 Fellowships" read a headine in Sunday's Tar. Heel. At first we thought that the student council was respon sible. Then we realized that couldn't be. And reading further we discovered that fellowships in this instance meant teaching fellowships.

It was distributed to the student body last Friday. It attempted to integrate. into one magazine both the literary and humor elements which the campus is paying for, and to provide coverage in addition for a third element which had never been covered adequately in either magazine before the campus itself, its organizations, its students, and its. government. There are two salient factors which together should determine the outcome of the issue. The first is financial. Publications revenue may fall so much that it will be necessary seriously to curtail the money allotted to all four publica tions. Under these circumstances, it might be more agreeable to the student body if one cam pus magazine should receive the total appropria tion instead of two separate magazines ex isting on drastically cut budgets. A financial in vestigation is' now being conducted by a member of the Publications Union board and will be printed in tomorrow's paper. The other problem would be Political and Or ganizational. It might be too difficult or even impossible to form a staff large and efficient enough to publish a campus magazine. Results of an investigation into this problem will be printed Thursday morning after conferences quickly asked where he secured same.

O It was Jan Masaryk who left some very optimistic thoughts for those who heard him last week. Comment ing on production in the U. S., he said that it-was far better than he had imagined and if they tell you it isn't good, don't believe them. , Speaking of 1942, he said, "This is Hitler's last chance and he knows it and so do we." O Inflation has brought no increase in the draft age. A funny world, isn't it? O Authentic sources have it that the . bottling of gin will. cease for the duration and molasses will no longer be converted for the use of rum drink ers. Liquor stocks are predicted to be able to care for consumption for the next five years. Bath-tubs again receive their place in the world of facts as gin and rum go the way of all soft drinks. Too bad! You lose. O We gotta go now to take a sun bath. I found the notorious pair in Bar ry's listening to a Tommy Dorsey recording on 'the juke box weeping crocodile tears. In fact, Barry's pet crocodile was sitting weeping croco dile tears beside them. (Until now I had always thought that that croco dile lived in my gin bottle and came out for air when the .bottle was emp ty.) - It was quite a sight to see those three sitting there crying. Occasion ally Ham would sob, "And I just had my heart set on him for the Hay Fro lics." Sonny reiterated with a heart breaking, "Yea." Pulling myself together, I ap proached them and presented the facts that I had accumulated. They vehemently denied my charges, but I was adamant in my accusation. Finally Ham broke down and admit ted that they had perfected a syn thetic coke formula and Sonny said, "Yea." When I asked them where the formula was, they both jumped up with intent of mayhem gleaming in their respective orbs. I stopped them cold when I said, "Careful, boys, or I'll be forced to have my gang make you listen to Steady Ron ston's orchestra." They cried, "Oh, - no, -not that!" And settled back in their pew. "Okay boys, spill it," I said trying to remember how the cops had put the third degree to Hum phrey Bogart. O "All right, I'll tell," said Ham, "but I ain't sorry I did it. I developed that formula and it's a good one. We use old quiz books and make cokes from them, but everyone on the cam pus here hates us so that we decided to make a deal with Duke. They agreed to let us have the name band they had signed for a spring dance for a half hour in return for the for mula." At this point seeing that all was lost, Ham whipped out a revolver arid shot himself. "Yea," said Sonny. SPRING THE SHADE A BOOK B ULL' S HEAD BOOKSHOP BROWSE BORROW OR BUY t: IS r
