Three students were walking back toward Chapel Hill Sun
day night through Carrboro. In typical student fashion, they
decided to cut a few corners and climb a few, fences.
They clambered over one fence, heard a "Halt!" warning,
were arrested at the point of a gun by a guard who fortunately
investigates first and shoots afterward. Five minutes before he
had replaced another guard who shoots first.
The students were jailed for five hours, then released, lucky
to have got five hours arrest instead of three slugs.
They take no chances at the Carrboro munitions plant.
The students claimed total ignorance of the munitions plant,
although only 60 hours before it had received the Army-Navy
"E" at a widely publicized ceremony. If other students are as
ignorant, they might remember that the munitions plant guards
against any appearance of sabotage, that not everybody asks
questions first.

Charges Discrimination
Against Women in University
Sara Anderson
Women at the University of North Carolina don't get to first
base.
There is an injustice being done within this institution which
rankles the heart of its liberalism and questions the truth of its
avowed principles of justice. x
In spite of continued avowals of equality, the faculty and ad
ministration of the University continue a bigoted policy of dis
crimination against women. They call it tradition unwritten,
of course but another name for it is fear.
Meaningless tradition is no precious jewel, and the only reason
for clutching it so tightly is a fear of change, of encroachment
on sacred male precincts. To dress prejudice with respectability
many unwritten policies and arguments are conceived by those
who do not wish to recognize women in any but inferior ca
pacities. When an inferior man is chosen to instruct although the ser
vices of a superior woman could have been obtained, the Univer
sity suffers. When a brilliant woman, a recognized instructor
from another university, is asked to answer telephones here in
lieu of instructing, the University suffers. Concrete, appalling
examples of discrimination could be cited by the scores.
The competent, ambitious woman must either resign herself
to ingratitude, or leave, the latter of which usually happens.
And it's not good riddance, either.
Pigeon-holed, underpaid, unrecognized by the university, the
graduate woman still comes to this center of liberalism under the
illusion that her ability will be recognized, and that no such ir
rational criterion as sex will finally determine her lowly position.
Some of the University personnel feel the problem keenly and
sympathetically, but they are in the minority. Their efforts to
correct the condition amount almost to an underground move
ment. Fear of department heads, fear of public criticism soft
pedals their attempts to publicize the amount of injustice that
is being done. And those that aren't afraid to deal with the
question frankly don't get anywhere, anyway.
I'm no feminist. I'm not of that school which advocates
women for their own sweet sakes. Too many women, unfortu
nately, deserve the intellectual contempt which is accorded them
by the superior men. I'm advocating only recognition of abil
ity, rewarding equal work with equal pay, and equality of op
portunity in all positions in all departments.
Otherwise, professions of liberality are still liable to criticism,
externally and internally, through this most injustice.

By Lack of TrweFEiiiiles
By Walter Damtoft
You've heard about the rumpuses raised in Washington about
business men having to fill out such forms as WPB-Cos-Pbyx-B-17
and the sweat they're shedding to untagle and reshuffle
the red-tape of priorities, wage agreements and so on ad infiini-
tum. .. . '
But waste not all of your sympathy on these gentlemen. Wool
len gymnasium is haying worse times still trying to solve Mr.
Joseph Eastman's rulings on
essential and non-essential
transportation..
The problem is particularly
acute since football, basketball,
baseball, and track teams run
into pretty high numbers and it
takes a little more than the us
ual campus jalopy to get them
from one locale to another to
battle with neighboring insti
tutions of higher learning.
Trying to untangle this mess
are Messrs. Cornwall, Young,
Hearn, Ransom, Fetzer and
other moguls of UNC's athletic
division plus Dean A. W.
Hobbs, representative to the
North Carolina Athletic associ
ation. Theirs is the job to con
tinue athletic events through
the haze of transportation
rules that have come or not
come from Washington.
As yet, about the only speci
fic rule on the use of cars and
gas by athletic teams comes
from a regional attorney for
the OP A stationed in Asheville,
T. A. Uzzel. He has interpreted
transportation regulations as
allowing coaches, trainers, and
officials to use their cars to
ampins rapsvinG
Today brings the second
nomination of the political
year and the second nomina
tion for publications offices. If
there is anything to deduce
from this fact, it is that the
headache of 1943 publications
is well on the road to snapping
back. It looked right dead. It had
taken a terrific trouncing. Its
remains were dismembered ;
its parts were scattered. And
yet, its revival came about.
Perhaps it is a good thing. The
two-party system was always
to be desired over a one party,
one machine system.
The SP is probably no bet
ter than the UP. The UP is
probably no better than the SP.
Politics is politics. Someone
called it the necessary evil.
Yet, there can be no doubt that
the existence of two more or
less evenly balanced parties
will make for a selection of
more qualified candidates and
it will give the students a
chance to state a preference
between those candidates.
The British Eighth Army
entered Tripoli. The Italian
Empire in North Africa was
dead. It lost the Empire with
the fall of Ethiopia, the Italian
with the fall of Tripoli.
The nature of the task ahead
is clear. The evicting from
Tunisia of the remains of the
Af rika Korps will not be easy.
It is possible, that when the
rains stop, the junction of the
British Eighth and First
Armies will have been effected.
It is possible that the Allies
will have the Germans out of
Africa by March.
It has been 11 weeks since
El Alemain. Eleven weeks
that carried the British almost
800 miles across' the desert in
to Tripoli. Eleven weeks saw
the conquest of almost all of
North Africa. Eleven weeks
saw "the end of the beginning."
Somewhere along the way,
the WSSF drive fizzled out.
The responsibility cannot be
assessed. Yet, it is fact that
the drive netted about one-
transport teams provided they
use their own personal ration
cards to supply the gas.
Such a rule is practically no
rule. It simply means that legi
timate coaches, trainers, and
officials will use their cars until
the last drop of gas is gone and
then a new bunch of "coaches,
trainers, arid officials" will be
created so that they may turn
over their gas cards for the
cause.
In other words, those who
are charged with arranging
athletic schedules are given
half way rules to work on and
can do nothing else but take
half way measures to "comply?
with them.
The big shots in the athletic
world aren't screaming for a
tanker of gas and a carload of
tires. They are, however, de
manding something definite.
If there is to be no travel for
athletic purposes, they are will
to quit travelling. If there is to
be limited travel with a given
radius, then they are willing to
abide by that rule.
What they want is a rule.
Any damn rule, but a rule.
By the Staff
fourth of its goal.
With the drive, fizzled one
of its best promises. The
WSSF Drive was to include all
charities, all drives. There
were to be no more drives and
no more soliciting.
Worthy though they may be,
drives take the student's time.
They bother the solicitor and
the solicitee. Constant appeals
for small donations were made.
The persons responsibility for
promising one and only one
drive did a wise thing. There
were many students who gave
generously. Gave with the idea
of never having to give again
this year. They are again be
ing solicited.
Some one has some account
ing to do concerning both the
fizzle of the WSSF Drive and
the broken promise of one
drive.
It seems that the credit for
the new tan and brown social
and dance room of Graham
Memorial has never been , as
signed It was last year that
Orville Campbell (then Tar
Heel editor) began his drives
for dormitory social rooms.
Somewhat over $1,000 was col
lected from big-name band
concerts. We all know what
happened to the dormitories,
but few of us know what hap
pened to the money.
It was Scoop's idea and his
execution that built the new
room of Graham Memorial.
He worked unobtrusively and

Weary Wisher
Wisher on Education-
Post- War and Physical
By Hayden Carruth and Sylvan Meyer
The Wisher last quarter made a suggestion, liiis has beea
the policy of the column from time to time, and usually the sug
gestion has been followed. Perhaps the fact that this one hasn't,
has hurt our pride ; but, in any case, it's a good one and bears
repetition.
This war is going to be over someday. A couple of years
seems to be the average estimate in the big circles now, and
most evidence makes that a , ' '
fairly tenable supposition.
What is going to happen after
the war, therefore, becomes a
subject of prime importance;
and we of the University
should be particularly concern
ed with the future of our in
stitution. It was for this reason that
the Wisher suggested the ap
pointment of a committee to
study possible changes in our
set-up when the peace day
comes, and changes are ob
viously, necessary. "
Our reasons :
1. After the war will be the
ideal time for change, because
then will be a natural period
of transition, then will come
the readjustment after a time
of chaos.
2. Our old, established ways
have been upset anyway. In
fact, they have been entirely
tossed aside in. many impor
tant instances, so a change
will not be so much of a
change, but rather the institu
tion of a new system, start
ing from scratch.
The change that was sug
gested, briefly, is the disestab
lishment of an administration
for autocratic education of stu
dents, and the establishment
of an educational philosophy
based on student interest.
Other matters to be consider
ed are: faculty indoctrination
with the Honor Code ; amalga
mation of student, faculty and
administration governments,
etc.
Work must be started on
this immediately. Otherwise
the whole matter may slip by
until the war is over, and then
it will be too late. If there is
any place where we cannot af
ford to let this happen, it is
here, where things are always
on a precarious footing any
way. VALENTINE

After several intermittent
quarters of diligent attend
ance, we can again say thai
our standing with the physical
education department is ap
proaching par.
In order to cement friendly
relations, as it were, we feel
moved to honestly say that
after takinc eierht hours of
exercise a week under the
watchful (you can say that,
again) eye of the department
we are in peak condition . .
especially when compared to
the condition in which we
started out. We could, of
course, attribute this to a na
tural ruggedness, but the de
partment definitely helped out.
We are proud of our body, so
to speak, for the first time.
