THURSDAY, APRIL 22, 1943 THE DAILY TAR HEEL Vage two i ii i Hi i I- CoBstltiitional AiuLtonoiiiy Student Legislature Only Key To Preserving Student Government Since Daily Tar Heel edit copy must meet an earlier deadline than ' news stories, we were at the time of writing unable to learn what action the student legislature took on the pro posal to empower itself to change its constitu tion. Whether they favored or disfavored 1 the plan, however, it is one of the most workable of the suggestions that has dome - from the current discussions on-freezing student govern ment. If it was unfavorably received, legisla tors should study its provisions carefully and reconsider it. If it was received favorably, the legislators are to be commended on having the foresight to recognize a measure which will give them enough flexibility to operate effici ently during the next few years. If the proposal comes up for student approv al, they should consider its most important aspects O The- student legislature may amend its own constitution except that: O They may not so amend it that the stu dent body will be deprived of the right of initi Listen, Students imnisiHmiiuinnimiiiinminiimnniinuiiintiimniii Who Is Frank Wills Hancock ? Eeny-meeny-meiny-mo By Jimmy Wallace This time it's not a question of "who dunnit," but "who is it." In order to maintain a full quota of trustees on the Universi ty board, the last General Assembly selected 25 new members who were to take of f ice this month. It seems however that one member who was selected was named Frank Wills Hancock. A perfectly good name for anyone to have. Confusion arose how ever, as the Raleigh News and Observer stated yesterday when it was found that there were THREE Frank Wills Hancocks. The result? Who was to be appointed? "Frank Wills Honcock, Sr., is the father of Frank Wills Hancock, Jr., who represent ed Granville county in the house during the 1943 session. Frank Wills Hancock, Jr., has a son named Frank Wills Han cock, III. The whole situation was left up to the secretary of the Board of Trustees, A. B. Andrews vHe didn't know what to do, and as the story goes, called Harry McMullan, State Attorney General. "McMullan found that the name Frank Wills Hancock appeared on the report of the committee on trustees of the University when the report was made to the Assembly, that the same name appeared in the Assembly journal for the day on which the election of the new trustees was held, and that the same name ap pears in the act naming the trustees." Andrews, if he certified the Remnants ... Belgian boys from 16 to 18 are to be placed in Hitler youth camps for a special 4-week training period.

FOR THIS News: ROLAND GIDUZ ative and referendum thus: Giving the student body the power to check any legislation, passed by the legislature, 'and: ." -" . O The whole proposal is only for the dura tion of the war. Such a measure is desirable specifically be cause the legislature will be one of the few united and well-informed bodies next year and because of this should be given more power. On the other hand, the student body will be spread out over the village, with the exception of coeds, and it would be extremely difficult to get them together to vote on amendments or to explain the reasons for proposed amendments. Students are changing living quarters so often that it is difficult to apportion proper representation to the legislature. This is espec ially difficult under the present terms of the constitution which state that the student body must approve such changes in representation. The new proposal will then mean that a gen eral rule will not be required if it becomes nec essary to change representation. name Frank Wills Hancock as one of the men named on the board, still would leave the is sue open as to which of the Frank Wills Hancocks was really meant. It's then left up to the board of Trustees to de cide which of the Hancocks was intended by the act. "Officials," said the News and Observer, "who were on the scene at the time, declared that it was generally taken for granted that the Frank Wills Hancock, Jr., representative from Granville county was the person referred to in the act." The situation however still remains complicated. If An drews goes strictly by the name appearing on the list, he might certainly certify either of the three men and get the wrong one. If the board of Trustees decides on one of the men, it also might pick the wrong one. Evidently the final decision will be based on which of the three was "meant" when drafting the act. This is one time the knot was tied well, but some loose ends were left dangling. employs a war records clerk in MmiMNTIO POM NATIONAL. AOVWtTIMNa WT National Advertising Service, lac.

With the hatred that has been created and mag nified in the course of the war, no worldwide good neighbor policy is going to, "just hap pen" when peace comes. Writ ten agreement as to war aims is imperative. Gregg Cherry's hat is now officially in the state guberna torial race ring. This has been expected ever since the 1936 campaign, the last time the West furnished the state with its chief executive. Cherry of Gastonia follows other Shelby gang candidates, Morrison, Gardner, and Hoey, all success ful. A good bet for the winner in the 1944 race between Cher ry, Judge Warlick, and Educa tor McDonald, will be the one who receives the nod of pres ent governor, Broughton. As . yet, that nod has not officially been cast. The good governor may be torn between two le gions. Cherry was Speaker-of-the-House in 1937 and for three years was state Democratic chairman. ' Thanks to the Army for re vealing the true identity of Shangri-La. Ray Tucker, CPU speaker of last December 5, scooped the army's announce ment four months by disclos ing the secret in his off-the-record talk at that time. The news from the military heads is always interesting, though often stale. Labor troubles in the south ern states have an immediate and striking effect on Dr. Wolfs labor class. A trip by him to Atlanta for a meeting of the War Labor Board in variably means an hour pop quiz for the students in the class. Yesterday morning, they surprisingly found, again, that the prof was in Atlanta. R. R. All Pomona college men are now required to pass an agility-obstacle course test to de termine their physical fitness under standards set up by the military services. Hunter college has started a program under which every freshman, sophomore and jun ior is required to complete a program or course in one of 30-odd war service training areas which the college offers. McKinnon Council's To the Editor : An unneeded and unjustified attack was made upon the Uni versity News Bureau in an editorial printed in the Tar Heel yesterday. The editorial asserted that the Council and the News Bureau were publicizing the fact that we were having dances this weekend and called this "a very distasteful piece of di plomacy." . - Off hand, I can't think of anything which is further from the truth than the words of this editorial. It is unfortunate that Tar Heel editorial writers do not investigate before they write copy. As a matter of plain fact, the News Bureau is not responsi ble for these mats going to the newspapers. The News Bureau merely acts as a clearing agen cy in 4 such matters. As in the case of all -dance layouts, these mats are paid for entirely by the Interdormitory Council- there is no expense to the News Bureau. Had the News Bureau refused to send this job to the engravers, the Interdormitory Council dance committee would have had the mats made and would have sent them out. The News Bureau does not presume to set itself up as a referee to decide whether and when dances shall be held. That is the responsibility of others and since those charged with that responsibility have not seen fit to bar these dances the News Bureau doesn't feel that it has a right to refuse to clear these pictures of the sponsors. Whether the News Bureau . sent them out or not, the pic-1 tures would get in the papers if the committee saw fit to send them out, as it does in this case. It is merely a matter of which channel is used. v Personally, I don't think anybody is going to be offend ed when reading underneath the pictures that: "These at tractive young ladies were sponsors for the Interdormi tory dances held at the Univer sity of North Carolina this weekend." Mr. R. W. Madry and the staff of the University News By Mail Physicist Denies Name Of Elmer To the Editor: A number of my Meteor ology students and friends have been inquiring of me as to the existence of jobs for the highly skilled in the field of physics. Perhaps they read a small item that appeared in Wednesday's "Weary Women" column or perhaps they re ceived similar cards. Well to keep the records straight, I do work in the Department of Physics and my second name is Lipton ; however, I am neither a Ph.D. nor is my first name "Elmer." Although I wish that I could, I am not in a position to give out jobs at the present time, as I am only a mere Graduate Assistant in the Physics Department. As to the visit by the Misses, Smith and Hill, whom Miss Hill neglected to say were ac companied by your own Jimmy Wallace, it was to say the least, "a complete surprise." I may also add that it was a fvery pleasant one as I was glad to know that such charming young ladies were that inter ested in the subject of physics. Sincerely, Robert L. Lipton FOR VICTORY: BUY BONDS Exp Reasons tor Mats Bureau have been very cooper ative with campus organiza tions in helping to publicize af fairs. In regards to sending out mats of dance sponsors, em ployees of the News Bureau give their time to this job with no extra pay, whatsoever and it does take a good deal of time to attend to this I know be cause I work at the News Bur eau. Mr. Madry doesn't take eith er side in any issue presented in camDus organizations. He t!!UniflIi!!IIIlI!Il!IlHIlIl!!!!IM An Editorial Burned Again That Mr. Ben McKinnon in his letter to the editor should choose to ignore public opinion is surprising since he has done considerable newspaper work andshould know the reach of the press. In accusing the DTH of not investigating the facts of the situation, McKinnon has made himself guilty of his own accu sations. We stated the facts that the News Bureau and the In terdorm Council sent out the mats. McKinnon admits that in his letter. What he, either refuses or doesn't want to see, is that there are several editors throughout the state who wait for any op portunity to take a crack at the University. They now have that chance, not only to criticize with justification an action of the students in scheduling the dances, but also the University since one of its agencies would certainly seem to think the dances something to be proud of. Although the News Bureau may send out any publicity it is handed without taking sides, does Mr. McKinnon think that state editors, state readers know this? Rather the many who choose to observe Good Friday will find it distasteful to learn that students at their state University are observing it with a dance, that an agency of the University evidently thinks the dance something worth knowing through v out the state. We are also surprised that an admission should come from a representative of the Interdorm Council that they would have sent out the mats despite the News Bureau. They have already burned their fingers once. Perhaps they're set on making the burn third degree. fflll!lllllllI!lll!II!!!llll!lll!II!Ul!!ll!lll!!li!II!lllM If This B R e ueason He was a tall and shy Pre f lighter. He had a swift sense of wit with his own friends but before the battery of feminine eyes he was a foot-shifter and tongue-tied. His uniformed pal, on the other hand, was as smooth as floor wax. His mind jumped the hurdles and he could dance on your nose and never f uffle a hair. And he was smaller in size. Yet feminine logic turned the tables in a strange way. Two girls over at Alderman needed dates on a particular weekend night. One of the girls, dark-haired lovely, knew the two Pre-flight cadets and it was her social duty to intro duce her room-mate to the smaller man. From informa tion gleaned from the shy one she learned of the polished ways of his buddy. Some in stinct (call it woman's intui tion) told her that he might not like his blind date. There upon she got together with the tall, shy boy to carry on a sub versive campaign. WANTED CAMP COUNSELLORS The Durham Y.M.C.A. needs counsellors forcamp this summer.

State your qualifications and the salary you would expect. has no interest whatsoever in the Interdormitory dances this coming weekend. His job is to put out news about the Univer sity and he does this in an un biased way. It is unfortunate that the dances were scheduled on April 23 and 24 but the fact that they were does not keep the News Bureau from coopera ting with the Dance Committee in sending out mats. The Interdormitory Council is not trying to hide in a corn er and have a dance without telling anybody about it. The dances are scheduled for Eas ter weekend. We are not ashamed of this fact and are not trying to keep the state from knowing. Sincerely yours, Ben McKinnon. By Dave Hanig It was, therefore, a sudden surprise to the smooth young cadet to find that his blind was not the most perfect of fe males. She was a six-footer, slightly rounded at the knees and not exactly cameo-com-plexioned. There was even the doubt thrown in that she could even talk coherently. The dark-haired lovely gave her share of misgivings. "You don't mind if E- doesn't dance with you, do you?" she gently asked, "You see . . . she's so awkward. She'd rather sit and talk." And she smiled with a hint of sympa thy. The little cadet swallowed a good deal and had the usual wet blanket visions. Instinctively he began to plead with the love ly to release him. After all he had just taken a vaccination test and his arm was in bad shape. But it was too late. The time was short and the plans were too well laid. The tall, shy boy became no .longer shy.
