THE DAILY TAR HEEL SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1942 Th By Hayden Carruth and Sylvan Bleyer PAGE TWO WW B -HeU'We$k:,'';- : r : ; The four or five days of fraternity initiation, even when sup plemented with paddles and burlap, cannot compete with this past week for the title. The Interf raternity Council did its best and a good job on the whole. After the announcement that suspension of rushing privileges would be inflicted on flagrant violators of rushing rules, known violations have been comparatively few and mild. But once rush week started last Sunday, there was nothing that the Council or anybody could do about the hectic, headlong turmoil. Even Council members themselves' admit that at its best the present rushing system is artificial and effected, at its worst un necessarily cruel and distracting to the rushees. It was thought that by confining rush week to six days in stead of the former 10 that the briefer period would cut short the tension for both fraternity and non-fraternity men. It did that. But the increased tension for those six days more than compensated for the brevity of the season. ' We do not yet know what the solution is. If we did, we would have recommended it last summer. What we do know is that the present system is almost as unsatisfactory as the wide open program used at some colleges. So long as the Interfraternity Council fights hazing, it might just as well remedy the real Hell Week. On Coming Out Yesterday the Student Legislature, the youngest and strong est agency in Carolina student government, stirred out of sum mer hibernation with the announcement of new amendments to its constitution. Divested of headline glamor, the principal amendments under consideration throwing away the old 50 per cent vote of the student body to make a referendum or amendment effective are more for expediency than for "student democracy." The two here happen to coincide because with students spread now over a wider area, it is next to impossible to get half the student body to vote even on the suspension of dances. But the Legislature knows that it may expect, although not foresee precisely, two important factors within the year. First, the Legislature will find it necessary to amend its constitution on short notice to cope with crises which will demand immediate solution. Second, there will be controversial bills which the Legislature will enact which the student body would do better to vote upon than gripe about. Campus dissension that could not be salved because of the old 50 per cent rule might do irreparable harm to a watery campus unity. On the occasion of its coming out meeting next Monday night, we urge the Legislature to repair its machinery in short order and then to turn the power on the housing and recreational and fees problems. Weekend Sweat and imagination and publicity and the new Social Com mittee are producing the "Second Big Weekend" now widely advertised on the little colored slips all over the campus. And it should be big. Not lavish, not name banded, nor for mal. But entertainment and new and open. If you -didn't Mingle with Moll last night, drop down tonight to the Fireside Party and join in tomorrow with the Sunday Night Session. "The challenge of the new day for American colleges is very great. All our energies at the present must be devoted to win ning the war. Yet winning the war will be futile if we do not throughout the period of its winning keep ,our people prepared to make a lasting and worthy peace. This time the peace must be global the same as the war has become global. Around the peace table the voice of the United States will have great weight. It is of tremendous importance that that voice shall represent the aspirations of a people determined that mankind everywhere shall go forward to its destiny. The soul of that destiny is maximum freedom of the human spirit." President Roosevelt's Message to the Inauguration of Dr. Everett Case as Ninth President of Colgate U.

ISSUE: Sports: WESTY FENHAGEN By Mail Ruffled Coeds Objecting To Earlier Friday Curfew To the Editor: Although I am in danger of violat ing the sanctuary of this country's present sacred cow, I would like to add, in the character of a private citizen in woman's government, some comment" to the discussion of curfew-hour for coeds. Miss Hood in her letter to the edi tor of Friday says "there is no rea son to list here the reasons why coed hours should be cut. . ." I do not agree with her. I think there is every reason. Since the war began, there has been the inevitable flood of discussion of morale, sacrifice, pa triotism; so much so that these words have become the Sacred Cows I have , mentioned. They are untouchables. We tend to follow them blindly with out question. This is not satisfactory conduct for intelligent adults. Healthy ques tion has never impeded any program and necessary newspaper censorship now in force does not mean that we are unpatriotic when we do ques tion. Sacrifice is one of the words used by Miss Hood and Mr. McKeever. We all agree that we must make every sacrifice that will further the war aim but we do not jump blind ly over cliffs screaming, "God bless America" in our haste to sacrifice ourselves. A needless and pointless sacrifice hinders the war aim because it impairs our willingness and abil ity to sacrifice cheerfully the things that are actually necessary. And this particular proposal is a need less sacrifice. I am in complete agreement with Dr. Frank in his emphasis on per sonal health. But the earlier cur few hour is tinsel exhibitionism; it doe3 not get to the root of the mat ter.

They are qualified to know their needs about sleep. Whether they do or do not get suf ficient sleep at night is still a per sonal consideration no matter t what hour they are required to be in the dorms. And a 10:30 permis sion every week-night would seem to provide sufficient prodding even for the most undisciplined. If Women's Government is really concerned enough to legislate the matter, why have they not proposed a "lights out" curfew that will real ly provide coercion? Because they know it is neither advisable or neces sary. If we have Saturday classes .we come in earlier on Friday night. Dr. Frank did not suggest putting us to bed by law. He assumed as I assume that we are adults and should make health our personal and individual concern. But perhaps there is something to say for the earlier hour. I like Miss Hood's suggestion that entertain ments and dances be ended sooner so that those of us who do have Sat urday classes need not feel that we are missing the fun. And if, as is suggested, an earlier curfew does have material bearing on the stu dents' state of health, there is an other and more important curfew to be proposed that seems to have been overlooked. The physical health of the men stu dents is important to the- war effort we know. Perhaps not more im portant in the long run than that of the women, but much more immedi ately important. If, then, the governing officials of the campus feel that Carolina students' living habits must be regu lated by law for the furtherance of See BY MAIL, page U 8 Stimulates (slang) 4 Age 5 Halts 6 Part of flower 1 Moslem teacher 8 Fifth sign oX Zodiac 8 Solitary 10 Schemes 11 A fat 12 Stop 13 Secret Chinese society 18 Rises up 23 Highest cards 24 Very small distance 25 Bitter drug 26 Wet snow 27 Nation's capital 28 Sword 29 Crafty anim'als 31 Vegetable dish 33 Brandish 84 Comfort 36 Befitting a cleric 37 One who inherits 39 Wanders about . 40 Strap 42 Small frog 43 Views 45 Irregular 46 Maxim 47 Capital of Norway 48 Assists 49 Race of Europeans 50 Edge of roof 61 Song bird 54 Fish eggs 55 Practice Feature SymUcaU. la The underground from Philos. 21 today informs all concerned that Dr. Katzoff, Peabody inogul and one of the University's besk-liked profs, has selected the Weary Wisher as assignment material for the budding logicians. His students were in structed to clip the last column and, analyse it for ambiguous state ments and or pithy passages. From this premise, truthful though exacting, little note is available, es-.w pecially in view ofthe fact that the middle terms of the syllogism are fluctuating flotsam withstanding no. The minor premise, on the other hand conclusively states the unimpeach able fact that forthwith by Jupiter there is tempest in Athens. Bigotry, speaking from the purely Bahai-ist point of view, constitutes fallacies that Calkins (Smith) is unable to extricate for the induction 7 of similar hypotheses. And, with the major and minor premises of this simple syllogism so simply stated, the infallible rules of logic prevailing from the northeast, the conclusion must necessarily be co-existant with anachronistic monarchism. Therefore, plainly, the conclusion is Socrates is a man. Upon the face of it, there is nothing more likely to produce consternation than reductio ad absurdam, although the present is sue is, of course, intended for merely good-natured comment. H.C. Back up, boys. This sacrifice stuff is going too far. Let's not make a fetish of the Spartan doctrines of self-denial. We refer, gentlemen, to the sug gestion re coed hours, the vague idea of moving the Friday night curfew up until 1 o'clock. Ostensibly, the promulgators of this delightful plan, have no moral motives ... they figure, quite logi cally, that the little girls can go just as wrong before one as before two o'clock. They assert, on the hours, that early Saturday classes are dozed through or cut entirely, that the ex tra hour gives all of us that shaggy, unslept feeling, a ghastly Saturday pallor. Swing Low With the newer disks Record of the week is clearly Brazil, a la Jimmy Dorsey on Decca. This tropi cal tune has the customary double barrelled vocal treatment by Helen O'Connell and Bob Eberly that they started on Amapola. The reverse is one of the newer, more popular bal lads, Daybreak, sung as only Eberly can sing 'em. - Running second in the sales derby is Harry James' latest coupling of Manhattan Serenade and Daybreak. Helen Forrest takes vocal honors on the first side, while Johnny Mac Afee, former Tony Pastor lead sax man, sings the latter. The hot fans will find Count Basie's It's Sand, Man and Ride On much to their liking. Sand is the usual Basie riff tune with the Count, Joe Jones, Walter Page, and Don Byas sharing the spotlight. The reverse is a bluesy tune with an Earle Warren vocal. The Gene Krupa, Anita O'Day, Roy Eldridge combination has turned out another solid one. Mur der, He Says is the better of the two sides. Massachusetts, on the flipover, is not quite as good. If you like your records on the vocal side, Victor has two more top offerings this week. Dinah Shore teed off on Why Don't. You Fall in Love With Me? and Dearly Beloved while the Four King Sisters, with a Rhythe Key background did Gobs of Love and I Came Here To Talk For Joe. With The Campus Bands Johnny Satterfield's boys don't seem to be doing badly since Johnny has gone to the Army. Dick Katz, the fresh man pianist is doing a very credit able job with one of the hardest piano books in the business. Sev eral other freshmen performers are doing quite well. Nelson Benton, the drummer, Bucky Walker, tenor sax, and George Davis, the wee; trumpet man, are filling positions very nicely. The old standbys of Bub Montgomery, the trombonist who is fronting the band, Wade Denning, Sam Andrews, and Char lie Moore are just as good if not better than they, were last year. The band as a whole. sounds bet ter than it has before. One good reason for this is the addition of a really good vocalist. Johnny has tried for several years to find a girl Buy Your me Jb ootball Game University Flower Shop In reply we state : 1. Most of us get up on Saturday only to attend the football game that afternoon, or to start another week end off on the morning bourbon sour. 2. That extra hour will neither make or break anyone's health. The folks that stay out until two o'clock are pretty doggone used to it. The ones that get sleepy . . . why, all they have to do is come home and go to bed. The rule says until two . . . staying out in the night air un til the final whistle is not mandatory. If the air is damp, the upper floors of Graham Memorial locked, Bynum hall closed down, all the places uptown; lightless and beer less, and you are out of ration tick ets, you have no business out until the wee sma' hours, anyway. We are sacrificing for the war. We take more physical ed, we take tougher courses, we cannot go to Durham or Raleigh anymore, we are head-over-heels in all manner of constructive activity. Is there any sound reason why we should deny ourselves one little extra hour of pleasure? In that hour we would build no ships, fly no planes, learn no physics. The amount of proto plasm we would destroy is so negli gible that an extra sixty minutes of sleep would have an effect so healthy as to be compared with the stunts of fortyish gentlemen who take ten deep breaths in front of the window upon arising Sunday morning. 4. That one little hour is benefi cial to our morale. In addition to being part and parcel of the expres sion of Carolina's liberalism, it gives us that exhilarating feeling of "making a big night of it all." 5. We are big enough to take care of ourselves. . 6. If anybody is going to change the hours, it is up to the coeds them selves, according to Carolina prece dence. 7. Who in the great roaring flames of Hell goes to bed at two o'clock Saturday morning, any way? S.M. By Tiny Hutton who could sing to his satisfaction. He didn't like the idea of sacrificing music for sex appeal. There need be any sacrifices in either direction as long as Anne Russell keeps on do ing the vocals. The only complaint heard at either dance last weekend was, "The band's too loud!" Maybe the boys could take a hint. Fifteen hun dred people could be wrong, but it's not likely. Strictly Detrimental POLICY: After careful scrutiny of all our fan mail, we decided that if we are to continue writing as honest journalists our best policy would be No. 7775-Metropolitan Life Insurance. NAVY V-l: Things have gone from worse to worser as our govern ment gobbles up the nation's man power. The Army may want MEN but from the announcements in yes terday's DTH, the Navy will be sat isfied with physical wrecks. CROSSWORD CRAZY: Phillip's hall is locked and bolted for the dura tion. Smelling news we interviewed one of the professors through a sec ond story window. Quote "We ain't coming out until we solve that DTH crossword puzzle." VICTORY: Tatum's tuffies tout ed to take Soused Carolina, with or without water. Sunday Beginning tomorrow, the Luther an services will be held at 7 o'clock Sunday evening in the Methodist chapel. Reverend Rudisall, here from Morganton, will be the stu dent pastor this year. All Reformed and Lutheran students and visitors are invited to attend. Episcopal Services in the Episcopal Church tomorrow morning will be celebra tions of the Holy Communion at 8:00 A.M., 9:30, and 10:30. The ser vice regularly held at 11:00 o'clock will begin at 10:30 so that the Epis copalians from the Pre-Flight School can come. Next Sunday the services will be held at the usual hours. Flowers For
