SUNDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1942 PAGE TWO THE DAILY" TAR HEEL Before You Leap What last year would have been laughed off and forgotten after a few heads were shaved has now developed into a critical two-fold threat. The student body at State College, after its almost unanimous Vote Friday night to return Rameses to his home pastures is probably experiencing mixed emotions. State College student leaders, genuinely concerned about possible developments of the situation are looking with a vengeance for the secondary thief s who spoiled what was going to be a nice gesture from the stu dent body. , Here at Chapel Hill the student body is getting to be just a little bit tired of the whoie matter, is beginning to understand the administrative and student leader concern. Primary threat is that athletic relations between State and Carolina will probably be severed if the skirmishes between the two student bodies continue. If the two student bodies gather in Riddick Stadium next Saturday afternoon, needled by, the past week's fights and rumors of fights, the game may turn into a free-for-all. Athletic officials at both institutions, in view of this danger, will call off the game if -any more "untoward incidents occur." Nextxyear, Carolina varsity teams will be able to compete only against schools near-by because of the transportation shortage. State would be missed severely. Secondary threat is that any forays during the coming week or fights at the game might have disastrous repercussions. It's a far jump, but people in the state and many legislators are al ready voicing complaints against what seems to them "college as usual." Only natural reaction to any brawls this week would be the "if-they-want-to-fight-why-don't-they-put-on-a-uniform" attitude. For the next few weeks, the Greater University's biennial budget hangs in the balance. The scales on wether or not the . University gets what it needs are teetering the University's past record against a nervous State's wartime prejudice. Somewhere in Wake County Rameses is complacently cropping grass, not perturbed at all about this year's or future games or about the budget. j jJll!Ji Cafeteria Shifts Once More As Navy Sinks Own Property By Bob Levin and Jud Kinberg Scratch one Pine top. A shot across its bow halted use of the two-weeks-old cafeteria. None can accuse the Navy of sabotage by prematurely sinking the Pine room. It was planned, built and paid for by the United States Navy and then loaned to the University. Pre-flighters agreed to allow the University use of the basement in order to relieve the acute eating sit uation. The contract called for a No vember 15 expiration date at which time the NROTC armory was to be completed and a fast five-day con struction program would outfit Swain for cafeteria use. The last contingent of cadets ex pected in November will pam-pack the upstairs and the overflow will cascade down into the basement, flooding out the students 15 days ahead of schedule. . The Pine room had the scull and cross bones on it from the start. Late hours on every meal but breakfast. No more quadrangle dormers to fill up the tables and ring on the reg ister. The ill-planned monthly meal ticket plan everyone knew but the planners that no one could be ex pected to eat three meals daily with out missing one meal out of 31 days in order to save $1.10. Then there was the ruling by Lt. Commander J. P. Graff ordering complete evacuation of the lobby un til the mess bell rang. He gave as his reason possible sabotage by enemy agents disguised as students who might blow up the cadets up stairs. .

BAILEY The new arrangement at the Caro lina Inn is expected to swell the de pleted budget of the Pine room. With all the tears shed on officials' laps, a very small percentage of students did patronize the Pine room. But the University does not cry over spilled milk. They promised to feed the students and did just that. This Thursday a new arrangement will be followed. A new location, earlier hours, same good food with the same quantity, plus a choice of meals will be featured. If this doesn't shove the ledger entries into the black ink section then students may again crowd into town. The Navy is in full control of the dining hall both in the poop deck and the bilge. While the cadets bang dishes upstairs and down, and the sober Carolina Inn banquet room resounds to hungry students, Swain hall will once again be renovated for cafeteria use. Let's hope we can stay there long enough to learn the wait ers' names. B. L. Remnants . . . "The results drawn in experiments by Dr. Lane of Duke in extra-sensory perception are not entirely convinc ing. For example, the cards used in experiments often were so heavily imprinted that the figure showed on the reverse side, making it rather simple for the subject to "guess" the figure on the card."

The CPU Round Table has attempted to present you with a few of the facts and beliefs regarding the Negro. No one believes that a complete cover erage of the issues have been made. Credit for this series goes to CPU members Dick Railey, Lem Gibbons, Jim Loeb, and Bob Epple. For the past week, you have been presented with a few of the facts on the Negro in the War. It is time to take a brief glimpse of the overall question of the Negro. The Negro question as a part of Southern heritage is inextricably en twined with the vast social and po litical problems facing the nation at this time. The Southerner does not feel that he has to make a choice be tween "white supremacy," democ racy and Christianity; he feels that he is a democrat, a Christian and a "White Supremacist." If the Southerner is continually faced with issues such as that of "all or nothing" for the Negro, he will damn well choose nothing. The Southerner resents the interference of outsiders such as the National As sociation for the Advancement of Colored People. In dealing with the Negro problem, no one can forget that the South took up arms in 1860 because "outsiders" wished to settle internal problems for the South erner. - Most of us can probably discuss the Negro question without emotion so long as the issue of social equality is not brought forward. "Would you eat at the dinner table with a Ne gro? Would you stay at a hotel where Negroes could stay? Would you sit beside a Negro on the bus? These are a few of the questions that invafiably arise before the discus sion is well under way. Suffice to say that for all practical purposes, the answers to social equality rest with the individual. Education is no panacea for the Negro problem. Yet, it is a start, a good start. While the large number of 45,000 Negro students are en rolled in institutions of higher learn ing, this is less than one-half of one percent of the Negro population. When faced with the fact that the average Southern state pays $44.00 for White education and only $17.00 for Negro education a year, many ask who pays the taxes. Is it not reasonable to assume that S Dash 8 Ceremonies 10 Pronoun 11 Slice 12 Worshipped deeply 13 Kingdom in Himalayas 15 Copy 19 First Jewish priest 23 Precious stone 24 Among 26 He fell from eagle , 29 Fruit stone 31 Foot-like part 33 Finale 35 Hoarder 36 Fiery horse 39 Peck 41 Took food 43 Guide 45 Replaced 46 Those who break away 47 Hindu cymbal 43r-Former type of warship 49 Procreated 60 Eve. green tree 51 Light color 53 Soft cushion 54 Spot 55 Embers 56 We chew with them 58 Smokes 61 To sheltered side 63 Storage place 66 Mohammedan official 68 Celtic Neptune 70 Age 72 Roman pound 73 Steamship (abbr.) 75 Alternating current (abbr.) Feature Syndicate, Inc. an educated Negro population could contribute to a greater productive capacity for the South? If the Ne gro could realize a larger income through an increase in the produc tive capacity, the manufacturers and merchants of the South would find an, increasingly large market for their products. In short, a raising of the produc tive capacity though education f the Negro would raise the standard of living in the South. By keeping the Negro in the gutter, the South has deprived itself of a greater pur chasing power a higher standard of living. Economically, the doctrine of "White Supremacy" has been illogi cal. Are you as a Southerner will ing to pay the price for "keeping the Negro down?" When we can look at the Negro as a human being as one who can be well educated, well housed, well fed, and physically clean then would we not be willing to deal with the problem of political equality? The proportion of Negroes to Whites in the South has decreased from one third to one-fourth in the past dec ades. There is no reason to feel that political equality would ever lead to Negro domination. Whether you are willing to see the Negro given a fair deal in educa tion, health and medical attention, and economic well-being are ques tions that you as a future voter must soon decide. There will be more can didates who run on the platform of race segregation and white suprem acy. This ever-popular platform has so well clouded the real political is sues in Southern government that future Gene Talmadges, Hugh E. Longs, and Frank Dixons are not im probable. People who advocate equality of opportunities for the Negro are la beled: "Communists, Fascists, and Socialists." The premise that "all men are born free and equal" is not a quotation from the COMMUNIST MANIFESTO or MEIN KAMPF. Those who plead for an effort to raise the Negro in education, economic status, and medical well being are following the, logical conclusion of the democratic ideal. No one asks that you eat with a Negro. But many do ask that you as a citizen and as a college man decide as to whether you are a demo crat. After you have thought about it all, perhaps you will find that a war every twenty years is not a guar antee of democracy. The eary When we had our habitual after noon tea with the squirrel in the Har ris tweed jacket yesterday, he seemed only slightly more disturbed than usual. Things are at a pretty pass, my friends," he said, extracting the olive from his tea. "What's up?" one of us said. "It is a long story." "Off the record?" we asked. N "I always allow myself to be quoted by the proper authorities," said the squirrel. "Come, come, old man, tell us the story!" All right. You may perhaps know a parallel to this story, as I am pleased to think it a cross-section of a certain type of nature afflicting squirrels, humans, and other ani mals alike." "You cannot insult us, friend squirrel," we said. "We have be come impervious to mere words." "I doubt that you would be offend ed anyway. But here's the table : "Before the great drought many centuries ago when all squirreldom was chased into the northland, we . 'were tremendously interested in all forms of public expression." "A manifest impulse in our day," we inserted. The squirrel was annoyed. "Gent tlemen allow me to continue unin terrupted. After digression we published three printed periodicals. The "Bark," which was published daily, the "Yap," published monthly, and the "Yapety-Yap," a handsome and extravagant yearly volume of much sentimental value. . "Except for the fact that they re ceived copies of the publication inter mittently, the welter of the populace knew nothing of publication difficul ties. But the finances of all the pub lications were controlled by a Union of five cautious grey squirrels and an abacus. "Leaders of these three organs of expression had organized themselves into a group known as the 'Red Arts Association,' because of their icono clastic tendencies. This was a group with purely social motives, and had little say in the actual determination of policy. It was an active and ex tremely hot-blooded society, withal. One of them, the editor of the Yapety-Yap, was what t you would call a type; about the others they were all characters." "Remarkably similar to a situa tion of our acquaintance," we noted. "I rather imagined that it would be. But, let us carry on. Monetary disequilibrium was in evidence. The Bark, and the Yap considered the Yapety-Yap quite wasteful. The Papety-Yay thought the Yap of no count whatsoever, and the Bark a slanderous sheet of dubious morals. "At any rate, the Board of Mo guls, as we called our controlling body, was forced to decide upon allot ments of tender to each publication and also had to act entirely without precedence. They were in a spot. Their personnel was aware only of large holes in the exchequer, of the unbalance of income and outgo. If I imply the proper categorical ter minology." "Perhaps a short review of this personnel would be appropos." "Quite," sa'id the squirrel. "You will, of course, pardon our peculiar cognomens a difference of mores, only. "Junior members of the Moguls By Mail . . . To the Editor: The University of North Carolina has the nation-wide reputation of being a liberal democratic institu tion. In the past the voice of the stu dent body has governed or influenced all major decisions. When the fac ulty assumes dictatorial powers in regard to vital and fundamental changes of policy or procedure, our democratic plan faces annihilation. .This challenge has come. The faculty has abolished our Thanksgiving holidays without con sulting with our chosen student rep resentatives or consideration of the opinion of the student body. The fact that we shall not have our holi days at this time may not be a ma jor issue, but the challenge of our democratic ways of deciding such questions (popular vote and the vote of the body selected by the students to represent them in all such affairs) most certainly is. This Thanksgiving may be the last many of us shall be able to spend "with our families and friends for some time to come. It is probable that most of us shall be in the armed forcer or vital industries of our coun try when next Thanksgiving comes, and it is quite possible that we shall be in our country's service for sev eral years to come. Our role in the defense of our way of life is quite as important as the role played by our service men and war workers. We are preparing ourselves for leader ship in the drive to wipe tyranny I By Hayden Carruth ISlTSr and Sylvan Meyer will be described first. Leader of the outfit was a slender citizen known familiarly as Unbendable Ben, the Certain. People would say, 'are you unbendable Ben?' and he would say, 'certain, I am unbendable.' This fig ure sincerely had been mislead into believing that the Yapety-Yap was an organ of great worth, deserving of beauty and splendor over all else. He was quite a bloc, all by himself. "Then there was Assurable Willie. Assurable was sometimes known as "Pliable Billy." This was because ' "everything was jake with Willie," depending on his immediately pre ceding conversation and the faction thereunto appertaining. "Incorrigible Frankly was the other junior member of the Mogus. Incorrigible believed that the Yap was the illegitimate child of the Mo guls and that most of the decisions were going against the monthly pub lication. Incorrigible thought this a regrettable turn of affairs, but the Moguls paid little attention because a good friend of his happened to be the leader of the Yap. This angered Incorrigible no little and lead him to regrettable incidents of loqua ciousness and poor diplomacy. But Incorrigible was also disgustable and was forced to go to great pains when he met with the Moguls. Only the fact that he had been elected to sign the vouchers made the other junior members heed him at all. Incorri gible often sided with the senior Mo guls. "Newest senior Mogul was du bious William who trod on uncertain ground. Now Dubious was assur edly as adequate as other Moguls but his inexperience lead him to heed false witnesses. Dubious was also Regrettable, and upon occasion, dis played great wealths of sympathy. Dubious always appreciated a good joke. Unfortunately, the Moguls joked exceedingly grim. Hungry Hartsell was the j oiliest member of the Moguls, despite his name. He was almost taciturn. As a matter of fact, in other than con fidential meetings of the Moguls, he was downright untalkative. But he attempted to act with a sense of jus tice, withal. The senior members of the board were always late to sup per. This may have made their homelife unhappy a good reason for their ultimate action." We were all ears. "What about the abacus?" "What does an abacus do?" asked the squirrel. "I will tell you what he does. He counts. He multiplies. He adds. But more often, he subtracts. This one is a particularly agile aba cus." "And their downfall, comrade squirrel, how came the revolution?" "A fearful drought was approach ing. The Bark knew of it through their meteorological surveys. But the squirrels could not be warned. The Bark couldn't publish until three weeks after the drought had struck in fury because the Union had stopped the printers. Half the populace evacuated. The other half idde. It was a desperate day. Then the Mo guls awoke. But it was too late. Our world was gone forever." "That is. a very interesting fable, squirrel. Would you like to add something in the .way of closing com mentary?" we asked. "Sic semper tyrannis," quoth the squirrel, crunching an acorn with disdain. and despotism from the face of the earth. Consequently, our transportation problem should be considered equally with the transportation problem of our service men. We are entitled to and demand the privilege of deciding this issue for ourselves. A demo cratic vote need be feared by no plan that will insure our welfare and that of the nation. Members of the fac ulty, we demand a student body vote on this question. Very truly yours, H. M. Walton. On the Hour . . .
