What Are We Fighting For?'
... The familiar question "What are we fighting for," sounds
like another old question-" Are you saved, bother?" To the lat
' ter address, the individual somewhat to his own embarrassment,
can often answer neither yes or no. Well, maybe, but he isn't
sure. It depends on what you mean by "being saved." And
everybody has a different answer.
, To the question, "What are we fighting for," perhaps there
should be only one answer that is the essence of Truth, express
ing divine understanding and god-like wisdom.
But there isn't, or at least no one has found it. At any rate,
there are many opinions on the subject, both private and public.
Henry Wallace, New Deal spokesman for post-war peace, has
one answer. Wendell Willkie, another. N. A. M.'s Crawford,
another. And so on. , , . . a
It's certain that the college professor won't have the opinion
of the factory mechanic. Varied backgrounds produce varied
ideas. But, nevertheless, each individual from each branch of
human endeavor and human environment is vitally concerned
with this question, and unless an answer can be found that will
be universally satisfactory, all these individuals will feel that
their efforts are fruitless, that their long work hours have gone
for nothing.
Too much has been said of the HOW in this war, not enough
of the; WHY. Now, at last, this angle is coming into view, and
the CPU panel next Tuesday night is only one of the many im
portant groups throughout the country who are conscientiously
probing the problem. This discussion, nation-wide, will find the
answer, and will bring to the front the issues of ethical conduct
that are the battle grounds of this conflict. '
Why Withheld?
Dean House announced yesterday that contrary to the usual
procedure, registration totals would not be, released on the cam
pus until they had been presented to the Board of Trustees early
in the week.
There can be little doubt that Dean House has sufficient rea
son for wanting to withhold publication of these figures.
At the same time, the registration figure is of some interest
to those students 'who have an interest in the University's re
action to wartime strain and to those campus organizations
whose effective work or budget depends upon accurate knowl
edge of the size of this quarter's student body.
Moreover, it puts the Daily Tar 'Heel in a position of follow
ing, without explanation, the dictums of South building. We
feel, therefore, that the paper and the student body should be
informed as to the reason for this latest procedural change.
What Went, What Goes
Week Forecasts More Money
For Professors, Slim Slates
Trouble, Trouble A time bomb has been sitting in the polit
ical back rooms of UNC, carefully set to go off sometime in
April, but much consternation and discomfiture came Wednes
day night last when the Student legislature shoved the deto
nator ahead to February 18. Political bosses put in a hurried
shout for underlings, were consternated when no underlings
showed up. With early elections the anticipated struggle to get
candidates has been heightened, and the big-wigs find them
selves embroiled in an almost impossible task that of putting
a full slate on the February ballot.
Publications Biggest complexity of the year, Carolina pub
lications, had two more upsets this week. First, your morning
DTH will be found in a sort of a cross between a New York
news stand and a Parisian kiosk at various points about the
campus. There just aren't enough kids to take them door to
door, so this seems the best solution. Secondly, Snyder and a new
regime moved into the Yackety-Yack office, making the third
change of the season. Mag business-woman Kipp and Bill Shar
key will share the new money berth on the behind-time annual.
If it comes out by spring, no matter what kind of an annual it is,
Snyder will have done a good job.
Profs Eat More Raleigh's budget committee backed a plan
to increase instructors salaries from five to 15 dollars a month.
It's not enough, but it will help, if it goes through. Professors'
are very lean this season.

perial Council.
Query: We wonder if M.
Henri-Haye, the unctuous gent
who . delivered the IRC
"speech" here, is sailing back?
Warning: In his celebrated
diary, William E. Dodd, the
late North Carolinian who was
once Ambassador to Nazi Ger
many, exposed William Bullitt
as an appeaser, practically in
sinuating that he was a fascist
sympathizer. Bullitt, with his
reactionary friend Robert
"Pat" Murphy has his hands
in the Vichy pie.
Repercussions: Already the
British Ministry of Informa
tion has "denied" that the
British government opposes
our Darlan - double - dealings.
The Soviets have made what
amounts to a formal protest.
Note: Bullitt is known to
be anti-Soviet. Murphy anti
British. Wanted: More United Na
tions cooperation for Victory
in '43.
Joker With A Tragic Twist :
Leaked out of Raleigh : Cer
tain of the white-haired Legis
lators are going to push a
piece of legislation called the
"Right to Work" Bill. The
proposal, a brainchild of some
anti-labor outfit in Washing
ton which sends form letters
to all legislators, consists of
an innocent statement pro
claiming everyone's right to
work.
Actually the bill is a clever
plan to outlaw strikes forever
and aye, under the guise of the
right to work. '
It would be interesting to
know just who the warped
personality responsible for
this is? Also, why things are
so quiet concerning it.
Paradox : Governor Brough
ton congratulates state labor
on their patriotism and win-the-war-spirit
while the legis
lature pulls strings to deprive
N. C. labor of all its Consti
tutional rights.
Conclusion : As to further
details concerning the "IJight
to Work" Bill, we're in the
dark. We wonder if David
Clark is t6o?
, Bcoknote: Information, via
the grapevine, has reached us
to the effect that Lou Harris,
former Carolina politico whom
at least five maybe ten
people would still like to catch
on a dark night, is writing a
book.
Harris, still uncalled by the
Naval Reserve, will devote his
magnum opus to a disserta
tion upon the American youth
movement. Although Harris's
experience in the movement
has been most brief, his rise,
thanks to Mrs. FDR, has been
meteoric.
It is with agonizing im
patience that we await the ap
pearance of Lou's book. It
shall be reviewed in close de
tail with painstaking care.
News From the Under
ground: Biggest underground
story of the past few months
comes out of "a Rheinish city
in Germany" via Geneva and
the labor press.
It deals with an anti-Nazi
convention recently held there.
Delegates included: Nazi Op
position Groups, former mem
bers of the disbanded Brown
Shirts, Social Democrats, Com
munists, and members of the
Catholic Center. A stirring
manifesto was issued calling
upon the German people of all
shades of political opinion to
halt the war, overthrow the
Nazis and restore political and
religious liberties in Germany.
The manifesto accuses the
Ndzis of "robbing the German
people of all their possessions
... even the most coveted of
all possessions "human labor
power."
And in France : Associated
Press reported on Friday that
Ferdinand Grenier, Commun
ist deputy from the St. Denis m
suburb of Paris, has arrived in
Britain after eluding his Nazi
captors.
He announced that full co
operation between Commun
ists, Socialists, De Gaullists
and other opposition groups
had been finally achieved.
SHAVE
HITLER
SAVE
AMERICA
Because of the difficulties in
importing Washington big
wigs and the closed-mouthed
policy of government officials,
the CPU ventured this year in
to the new field of Panels. The
first was a controversial dis
cussion of the problem of the
Negro in the War. ," The Sec
ond brought dynamic Rex
Winslow, informed Dean Brad
shaw, and playwright Paul
Green together for a prognos
tication of the Future of the
American College.
For their third, the , Caro
lina Political Union steps fur
ther into the new field with a
student-faculty panel on the
subject "What Are We Fight
ing For?" Too little is heard
from tlie student element.
Speaking on the third Caro
lina Political Union Panel are :
Bobby Glenn, CVTC head
and a former CPU member, is
a senior and member of the
Marine Reserve Corps.; The
viewpoint of a soon to be in
ducted member of the Monte-zuma-Tripoli
Gang should be
interesting.
O Harvey Segal has been
everything from a DTH ol
umnist to a CIO Organizer. He
is at present a Representative
for the Union of State, Coun
ty, and Municipal Workers of
America, CIO, for the district
of North Carolina. Backed up
by the facts, inquiring Segal
should make a definite contri
bution from the liberal point of
view.
O Charlie Johnson has been
accused of being the current
Tom Wolfe of the Carolina
campus.' He has had one novel
accepted by the New York of
fice of a large publishing house
only to be rejected by its Bos
ton office. But he's still try
ing. Dean Roland Parker, oc
cupying the center of the ros
trum is an instructor of So
cial Science as well as Dean of
Men. Parker has the real facts
and background to back up
some well thought-out view
points. Dr. J. L. Godfrey is the
man who brings 'em down to
earth. Historian Godfrey is
adept of taking the starry look
from the eyes of the idealist by
his realistic almost cynical
viewpoints.
And that's the student-faculty
group who will discuss one
of the most vital, least discuss
ed issues before America J.L.
The long-silent Debate Coun
cil has burst forth into its
rightful field intramural de
bating. The Council plans to
hold a competition between,
fraternities and organizations
for the trophy. It is already
rumored in high places that
the CPU will challenge the
IRC for the debate of the sea
son. There has been much criti
cism in all places of the inac
tivity of the Debate Council
and accusations that it did not
benefit the student body de
spite the fact, that it received
student fees.
Intramural debating is the
logical function of the Debate
Council's campus work.
Don Wilson, last year's bril
liant sophomore forward, is now
tossing in his one-handers for
the University of Oregon .
