Weary Wisher miininmnnnnsnniiniTHnniiiiinnnHmiiHiunr Wisher Carruth Winds Up .. - ... Columns, Covers Typewriter By Hayden Carruth ...A year ago I began this column. The first issue had a preface that ran like this: "Columns need a preface, and here is mine. The birth of The Weary Wisher signifies the beginning of a regular column, ap pearing several times each week, when I shall write what I please. The column shall include within its scope everything from light verse to moral essays, touching current events, campus doings, , human interest, and my own grouch." For a year the Wisher has continued. Its ranks were more than doubly swelled when Sylvan joined its staff at the beginning of the current year, and together we have conscientiously tried to fulfill the prospectus of the Wisher's preface. I hope we have succeeded. I hope our crusading zeal has offended no one, and, if it has, perhaps the one or two worthwhile results have justified the offense. For a year this preface has been our guiding rule, and today I am writing my last Wisher underthe same principles. , The life of the Wisher has been a good one for me, mostly be cause it was the period when I was most closeely allied with Chap el Hill and the University. That is the period when I was nearest to the part of Chapel Hill that flows underneath and within. That is the period when I got to know Henry Moll, Pete Parker, Morao Mahoney, Dave Hanig, Erich Zimmermann, E. E. Ericson, Bucky Harward, and Ardis Kipp. That is the period when I learned what goes on in South Build- ing when you see it lighted late at night. That is when I learned that an hours conversation in the Graham Memorial director's office, the back booth at Danzigers, or the Episcopal Parish house can change the course of life at Carolina to an entirely different tack. That is when I found Chapel Hill. . I found a lot of things I didn't like . . . the ritualistic aspects of the sororities and Golden Fleece that are a travesty on student intellectual dignity, the tie-ups and inefficiencies of the admin istration that have wrought such havoc on so many occasions, the smooth-faced boys that get elected to campus offices without the slighest conception of their responsibilities There are a lot more, hundreds of things, big and little, that have made me angry, made me want to change them. Nevertheless, there has grown within me a sentiment for Caro lina that is undefinable. It is not love nor loyalty, affection nor devotion. But it is a sentiment that ties me as closely to the bad as to the good, and I am sincerely sorry to leave them both. No S d c econ Movie notes: Just about got over the ase of the jitters de veloped last Friday at E. Carrington's slaughter-house-red Em porium. Responsible movie for this being Hitchcock's latest mel ler, "Shadow of a Doubt" which for a few days turned my inno cent postman into a Nazi espionage agent, my little cousin into a suspected manic-depressive case and even caused me to think that Libbie Izen was partially constructed of paper-machie and that she was in the pay of the Gestapo for the purpose of destroy ing campus morale .. . Hitchcock certainly has a fiendish way of keeping you on the end of your mental seat and Teresa Wright and Joseph Cotten helped out to the best of their dramatic possibilities. Little known, but adding a lot to the picture was musical director Dimiri Tiom kin's perverted "ragging" of the waltz theme which was remin iscent of Ravel's La Valse, the unconscious Heminway touch at the begining which was right out of "The Killers," and the small town touches under Thorton Wilder's guidance. January's best was "Casablanca," Hitchcock's latest was the best so far for March ... Intrigue Hour at Graham Memorial: Dr. (Mr. Chips) Wood house and E. E. Erickson. gentlemanly demanding the right for each other to be heard at the IRC Panel the other night, and then just as hotly trying to disprove each others points . . . Miss Libbie Izen of the Gestapo bawling out Bob (Gherig) Shuford in the Williams Lounge for cutting a class . . . Taming of the Shu? . . . ... the confusing amount of interpretations that can be given to New Republic and Harpers ... the boy who walked into Mack Snipes Haircut Establishment in the basement, waited an hour, then when seated, calmly asked for "my hair combed, please" the couple over the Graham Memorial counter, who when told there would not be any more darkened Fireside Concerts for the rest of the quarter, angrily replied: "What do you want to do, drive us back to Kenan?" . . . Wonder which they meant, Stadium or Dorm? . . . And to quote those after-dating late arrivals into the Campus Cafe in the ten-thirtish hours, "It's g-o-o-od beet soup!" ...

Very delicately she praised Congress, our soldiers, and our American democracy. Then she began to needle us for our complacency in view ing China's five-and-a-half- : year struggle with Japan. She told us of the old Chinese ' saying: "It takes little effort to watch the other fellow carry the load." . Then she told us of the dan ger of our present course in underestimating J a p a n e s e strength. "Let us not forget that Ja pan in her occupied areas to day has greater resources at her command than Germany. "Let us not forget that the longer Japan is left in undis puted possession of these re sources, the stronger she must become. Each passing day will take more toll in lives of both Americans and Chinese." The Chinese are now in con tact with the Japanese along a line as long as the Russian front. China has shown after five and a half years of war how much she can do with rela tively few weapons. According to best estimates, ' minimum Chinese needs for driving out the Japs are 500 bombers and fighter planes. Last year we built 49,000 planes, of which perhaps half were combat planes. This year, we are scheduled to build 125, 000 planes. China needs 500 planes, let's give her 500 planes. That does not seem to be too much to do for so valuable an ally. Compare China's needs with what wre have actually sent -her so far. - For example, of some 200 planes promised her over a year ago, she has received ex actly 12. Wendell Willkie, back from his trip around the world, said, "If I told you how many planes we have actually sent to China, you. wouldn't be lieve me." It is poor consolation to be told that China is now receiv ing as many supplies by air transport as she formerly re ceived by the Burma road, when the Burma road never supplied her with more than five per cent of what she listed as her minimum needs. Madame Chiang told us : "From five and a half years of experience we in China are con vinced that it is the better part of wisdom not to accept a fail ure ignomiriiously, but to risk it gloriously. Let's risk more to help China not only for the sake of the charming Madame Chiang, but to keep in the fight our only Asiatic ally against Japan.

Small World DiiiiHiiiiiiiinnninnniHintii!!!!!! Carding Keeps Allies-Russia Apart By Harvey Segal One of. he .cardinal principles of Nazi diplomatic strategy has been to prevent the cooperation of the democratic powers with the Soviet Union by the ceaseless trumpeting of the "Red Men ace." So successful was this ploicy up until June 1941 that the Goebbels-Bolshevik Menace factory is still running over time. The only factor that has changed is the market for Her Dokter's products: It has grown steadi ly worse dut to a sharp decline in "gullibility level" of people all over the world. Yet despite the dark outlook, the Menace Makers in the Wilhelmstrasse are still prolific. The latest menace concerns the Soviet boundaries: namely the question of Poland and the Baltic States. Upon the an nouncement of the refusal of the Soviet Union to accept ' their pre-war boundaries, the Goebbels-men in conjunction with a sizable group of Munich mentalities in this country have been painting gory pic- ' tures of a Post War Bolshevik Europe. To the average reader, their claims would seem not unrea sonable; but a glance into the historical records give lie to their claims. The Baltic States, Bessarabia, and Moldavia were all, before the Russian revolu tion of 1917, part of Russia. All received status as "nation al" entities or parts of Poland and Roumania due to the weak ness of the nascent Soviet gov ernment. The Baltic states were separated from the Soviet Union at the treaty of Rigo in 192Q. This was more a diktat than a treaty. The independ ence of the Baltic States was actually opposed by the United States and Great Britain at the time that they were formed. Woodrow Wilson is his Four teen Points mentioned Balkan, BALLET (Continued from first page) Petipa ballet, "Swan Lake."

The tour will terminate some time in May thus ending the longest trans-continental and most suc cessful artistic and financial sea son in the history of the ten years' existence of this great or ganization which may now be considered a national institution.

He undoubtedly felt that the Baltic peoples were a part of the Russian nation. Poland and Roumania merely seized the sections of Russia which they owned before the war. When the Red Army marched into Poland in 1939 they set the Soviet boundary at the Curzon line a boundary for Russia established by Curzon, of the British foreign office. These seizures and the Bal tic states were only recognized by Britain and the United States after much protest and -a. considerable lapse of time. The recognition and use of them as a cordon sanitaire around the Soviet Union, only gained us the enmity of an ally whose armies are doing so much to defeat Hitler. The recent attacks of the Polish premier, Sikorski aimed at both the Soviet Union and Czecho-Slovakia, the coun try which Poland helped carve with Hitler's sanction at the treaty of Munich should be regarded with greatest appre hension. It represents another of the many attempts to force a breach in the unity of the United Nations. This unity must be pre served, for without it victory cannot be achieved. ; , .i.iw itmmm wmmm .'."3 4. w irTjtz i IT has been estimated that 63,000 telephone calls are necessary in the buiiaing of one 10,000-ton cargo ship.

Yet today the men and women of the Bell System are handling more telephone calls than Wer before about 90 million conversations a day. It's an important wartime job.

Darned if it seems like four years since I first came to Chapel Hill. I'll never forget the day. It was 97 in the shade. I had on a heavy tweed suit, a Tyrol ean wool hat and a topcoat. I was carrying a typewriter in one hand and a suitcase in the other. After walking for what seemed like five miles I finally got to "K" dorm . . , to find out that it wasn't finished. t Back to South building where Roy Armstrong assigned me a room in Grimes. By the time . I got back there I felt like the whole Russian army had been marching over me in track , shoes. I was all set to float away in perspiration, but a quick shower and supper with Steve Karres put me back in shape. I'm one of the lucky ones though, 'cause I'm getting out before getting in the Service. There's a heckuva lot of us that won't be able to graduate be fore donning khaki. They're the fellas who'll be coming back to the Hill to finish up their work. I'm through. It's been a tremendous four years. So long.
