Friday, February 19, 1943 THE DAILY TAR HEEL ?AGE TWO More Vandalism And the vandalism continued last night. At 6 :30 yesterday morning, two workers strung up a banner for a presidential candidate. Less than two hours lter it was burning. A candidate for editor of the Daily Tar Heel reported yesterday afternoon that, almost all his posters had been ripped down the preceding night. Neither these two instances or, the burning of the two banners two nights ago and there must be other instances too prove that the victims' opponents were the offenders. We rather believe that it has been the self-appointed henchmen who aspire to be come a cog in the machine of Frank Hague within the next two years. Their swift progress has almost qualified them already. Apparently they are trying to kindle a fire among themselves that they could strike with a disinterested student body. But that is beside the point. Crux is that wholesale violations of the campus code perhaps the honor code have occurred. Since that is the case, it becomes the duty of the Student Council to make an effort of uncovering the off enders. Sitting here now, some five hours before tabulation time, we can hope only that the new officers elected will be better than the tactics which put many of them in. Stet -JmumkuUmi And Now the Suckers Are Beginning to Leave School Listen, sucker! i - Yeah, you Komisaruk ; and you Levin ; you too Long and Strowd and Colby and Railey. Most of you are ready to pull out, to drop those saddles for G. I., to cut spuds instead of classes. And now that you're going, try thinking back over the last few years, of the work you've done, of the pettiness you've seen, of the dirt you've hated,' of the "tin gods" you've watched. Brings back a lot, doesn't it? Brings back the squabbles in Sigma Nu's side room, arid the tirades in the House that Britt Built; brings back the stench behind the campus' stateliest flowers ; brings back pres tige battles in the legisla ture; brings back the dance cut bill and the Carolina party and budget baloney and Civilian morale' and Louis Harris and Dave-Morrison and perfect week ends and fine profs like Zimmerman and Taylor and good buddies like Godfrey and Woodhouse and Parker. Yeah, brings 'em ail back. 'And taking inventory, what have you got?. You've known men like Frank Graham. You've learn ed a lot about living. You've had those profs and buddies and colleagues and week ends. You've observed the swirling intricacies of the campus ; and you recognize them. You've done the jobs no one else would have. You've watched the big dogs take credit for your sweat. You've seen the other guy's pic ture in the DTH, and read his name in the streamers. You've been crossed. You've been minimized. You've been fear ed. You've been hated. You've been suckers ! Take you, Komisaruk.

Sure, you remember. So you made friends and learned a trade, so you worked hard and deserved your reward. " Here, take your bylines and experi ence, and beat it, sucker. And you, Levin. All those things apply to you. And you've left with the same com pensation. Are you sorry, Levin? Wouldn't you like to have that "one last article" to give the guys who have enjoy ed you a little hell ? What about you, Long? What have you gotten from your bickering for the right, for your hours of working over legislation, for your nights of strain over class activities, for your sincerity, for your per sonal sacrifices? Yeah, that front-page picture last year, and your name on the legisla ture role. Handsome gift, huh?" Strowd and Colby, what's the answer? How about those months of research, and the toes you had to step on before your financial plans could go through, and the little jobs, the unknown, jobs, the necessary jobs that you two have done and are doing ? What's the pay off ? What's it done for you, suckers? And you, Railey. Why didn't you wise-up? You were lackey and do-all for four years. .You were in-the-know. You took the guff. You poured sweat.

V That is a statement shot through with implications. Most people who must a one time or another take a sophomore light upon geology as the easiest way to squeeze through a University ruling that regiments your education al career. However, we would like to emphasize the fact that geology is an affair which no one, should miss. : If you have ever heard any thing more incongruous than Bud Rantz and Anne Lewis and Lib Stoney and Georgia Helen Webb spouting Latin pollysyllables and talking glib ly of belemnites, tilobites, lophophyllum prof oundun, etc., we would like to know what it . is. ... w In the first place, there is something about being a ge ology lab instructor that evid ently improves a man's wit. Perhaps it is because they are always looking at rocks and things and talking about his tory several hundred million years, but the young men who teach geology lab seem to be sort of a club of characters who decided to have a good time with befuddled people and they evidently enjoy them selves. If you have never seen Sam Arbes battling with a scratch on a piece of rock and decid ing that it is a graptolite, you just ain't lived. We wouldn't miss that class for anything. We haven't quite been able to decide the cause of this phenomena. The class meets at 9 in the morning which should be strike one at least. The quizzes aren't so bad and the prof is a patient fellow who puts up with a great deal more than he should. The depart ment has an air of a suffering mother who loves her moronic children. It has a pleasant atmosphere. They are always showing movies and slides and things. But learning the names and histories of 36 fossils turned out to be a new experience. We might think it was a waste of time if it wasn't so much fun up there in New East. Geol pgy is a nice course it is, as a matter of fact, lugubrious.

And, like all of your kind, they won't get wise to themselves. I guess it's because Universi ties can't run without men like you. I guess it's because stu dents can't work and study and argue and learn and build without strength like yours. I guess it's because democ racies can't live without sacri fices and sweat and sense. .

C. Cranford as campaign material for yesterday's gen eral elections. The DTH also published a letter from Dean iR. B. Parker which he wrote after phoning Sherman Bil- ' 'lingsly, manager of the Stork Club in New York, from whom along with cartoonist Al Capp and comedian Al Jolson, Cran ford claims he has received bona fide testimonials. Since then, other calls have jbeen made to New York by jDean Parker and other tele grams have been received by Cranford. Some of these were posted on a bulletin board in front of the YMCA yesterday and the DTH is reproducing all the important letters and telegrams that have been sent in connection with the case. Letters which were posted v in the YMCA prior to and yes terday. Feb. 2nd, 1943 The Stork Club, New York, N. Y. Dear Mr. Cranford, ? A relative of mine who is a student at the University of i North Carolina brought to my attention the fact that you are running for the Editorship of ' the Carolina Magazine. ' Thru you I would like to i make an appeal to the students, that they cast one unanimous 'ballot in your favor. Knowing you as I do, I am certain that your assiduous application to the Carolina Magazine will make this the greatest college ' paper in the country. I feel certain that if all the boys at the University knew you as I do, they will vote for you. .Very Sincerely, j Sherman Billingsley !

My friend, H. C. Cranford, who is a swell fellow and a bright lad, is running for Edi tor of the Carolina Magazine. Please ask as many students as you can reach to vote for him. I would have made a per sonal appearance to entertain the boys and plead for Cran ford, however, my many enr gagements prevent me. Will call you on the phone to be sure you boost my good friend H. C. Cranford for Edi tor of the Carolina Magazine. Sincerely, Al Jolson Letter sent by Dean Park er to Bob Spence, chairman of the elections committee on Tuesday after he had first phoned Billingsley.

Mr. Bill ingsley told me that he had never heard of either of the candidates, and had never en dorsed either of them. He stated that he had check ed through his files with great care, and that he had no reason to believe that any letter en dorsing a candidate at the Uni versity of North Carolina had gone out over his signature. He added that any such pur ported letter of endorsement of a candidate for the editorship of the Carolina Magazine could only be a forgery. Sincerely yours, Roland B.
