On Cashing Checks
In today's "Letters to the Editor" column, a" student has
brought tr a problem with which all of us will be concerned
shortly.
The Veterans' Administration has announced that they ex
pect to have most of the government subsistence checks to the
veterans on campus by the tenth of next month. We feel sure
that most of those checks will be most welcome, for present
funds are at a general low ebb about the campus.
So, the first thing the students will be doing immediately they
receive the checks is attempting to get them cashed. The only
central check-cashing center on the campus is the booth in the
book exchange and that has hardly proved adequate to handle
the normal flow of checks to be cashed in the past
In the first place, the book ex has a habit of running out of
money early in the day and those who arrive late just don't get'
their checks cashed until the next day.
Because the local bank refuses to cash checks exept for stu
dent depositors, the students find themselves forced to sweat
out the line at the Book Ex to get a check cashed.
Therefore, we get behind the writer of the letter and urge
the Book Exchange management to take steps to avoid any con
gestion over the checks and to have a sufficient amount of money
on hand to handle the students quickly and efficiently. It would
be a feather in their cap and a pleasant respite from the con
fusion that has existed in previous problems there this fall."
Outstanding Example
It is pleasing to note the immerous hometown clubs spring
ing up around the campus of late, giving those students from the
same city or same part of the state a chance to become better ac
quainted and more familiar with each other.
The many clubs now in the process of organization could well
take a page from the book on one of the original sectional clubs
that has grown steadily in a few months into an influential cam
pus group.
The organization in question is the Western North Carolina
club, which, following a period of inactivity during the war,
changed this past spring from the Asheville-Carolina club to its
present monicker, and with a handful of students taking the
iniative, mushroomed into a real organization. At the present
time the club has 88 members and is still expanding.
The aims of the club are simple and effective. Chief aim is
to promote fellowship between students from Western North
Carolina. It also promotes social activities and carries on a pro
gram to interest Western . North Carolinians, especially high
school graduates, in the University. At present they are planning
to cooperate with Graham Memorial in the staging of a gala
Sadie Hawkins Day program.
Such organizations are a credit to both the campus and the
people who make them up. We hope the other hometown clubs
can follow the example set by the WNC group.
Good
We are. always glad to see and hear our professors in extra
curricular activities. The International Relations Club is to be
congratulated for its discussion last night on our policy toward
Russia which brought before 12ie students Dr. James J. Godfrey
and Dr. J. C. Lyons. Dr. W. A.
program which also included the
and the Rev. Charles Jones.
Many of our professors had
service and some were used in a
are many professors who have
student body and it is good to see
behind the scenes to find them.
Throughout Chapel Hill, not
University, there can be found famous authors who make ex
cellent speakers. We feel that all campus organizations tthat fea
ture forums and discussions will
gram and will strive to present

American Program
Academic Freedom, Student
1 .A
Relief Included in Proposals
By Jimmy Wallace
In the realm of International Understanding, the American delegation
to the Prague Conference had many proposals to make. These included: 1)
the endorsement of the United Nations Economic, Scientific, and Cultural
Organization, 2) favoring international exchange of professors and students,
to be chosen on a basis of merit; international exchange of educational ma
terials, 3) favoring the establishment by the International Union of Students
(the organization formed at the Prague conference) of a clearing house for
exchange of information and students, helping the latter get financial aid
from UNESCO, national and private
agencies, and national student ex
change. Academic freedom in universities.
Teachers: The teacher should be en
titled to full freedom of research
and publication of the results, and
full freedom in the classro6m in dis
cussing his subject, but he "should be
careful not to introduce into his
teaching any controversial matter
which has no relation to the subject."
(A point upon which the author dis

freedom of action. In cases where
their , views might be construed to
represent those of their institutions,
they should clearly state that they
are not representing the views of
said institutions. Students should have
the right to organize student gov
ernments which have control of stu
dent funds; student newspapers
should be controlled by sudents.
Discrimination. Academic merit
should be the sole criterion for ad
mission to educational institutions.
The delegation recognized the need
for special exemption to this rule
in the case of religious or noncoed
ucational institutions. The delegation
opposed: admission based upon racial
segregation, quota systems, and pro
posed: the removal of tax exemptions
from all private educational ' institu
tions using the quota system.
Discrimination in curricula. Regard
ing this topic the American delega
tion advocated "the exclusion of
pseudo-scientific theories of racial su-1
periority, from the curriculum. We
consider this accessory to discrimina
tion." The delegation also advocated
"the inclusion in the primary and
secondary schools of the teaching of
the basic equality of man.
Student relief. "Believing that stu
dent relief and the rehabilitation of
educational institutions are primary
steps towards the promotion of in-
Snafu
Dear Editor:
Inquiry reveals that another snafu
similar to the Book Ex muddle of re
cent sad memory is looming up in the
"Y". Soon thousands of us veterans
will (we hope) be receiving our sub
sistence checks, and we predict an en
masse pilgrimage to that one little
cashier's booth. No provision has been
made to expand cashing facilities on
campus, and the local bank refuses to
cash checks for students unless they
are depositors. Please, ''Wheels," use
some foresight and spare us another
painful sweating out period.
Sincerely

the American delegation urged the
followiig:
1. that the International Union of
Students affiliate itself with the World
Student Relief for the purpose of us
jng it as the agency of the IUS for
student relief and apply for admission
to the governing councils of World
Student Relief.
2. that" the American Delegation
ake responsible leadership in raising
funds for the World Student Service
Fund, the American affiliate of the
World Student Relief.
This concludes the brief resume of
the American program at Prague.
The complete program will be on
file at the library for those who wish
a more comprehensive glance at the
activities of the American delegation.
Tomorrow: The Prague conference.
What
YOU Say?
By Sam Daniels
(Ed. note The opinions expressed
herein are those of the students inter
viewed and not . necessarily those of
the reporter.)
Today's question
Do you favor the way in which tic
kets .for the Student Entertainment
Series are being sold?
The Answers
Yes, I think it gives a chance to
those who really want to go to the
programs. If you really want to go
you will buy your tickets early any
way. After all, it seems as though
everything around here is "first come
first serve" John Hall, Roxboro.
It would seem fairer for students
to be permitted to buy individual tic
kets for each performance. In that
way you pay for only what you use
and you could attend one show with
out going to all of them or losing
money. John May, Long Branch, N.
J.
This is probably the only way that
a crowd could be assembled for some
of the programs. Some programs
would be very crowded while others
would not have a crowd at all and
money would be lost. Buddy Simp
son, Monroe.
No, I think they should be sold in
dividually, because you can't go to
all of them. Candy Harris, Roxboro.
Yes, you don't have to worry about
missing any of them. There is more
incentive to see them all and students
should attend as many as possible.
Gladney nolden, Atlanta, Ga.
The present system of selling tic
kets by the series seems the most
sensible to me. It is the only way to
offer some financial guarantee to pros-

Reminiscences About the Era
Of Sicilian Hootch Peddlers
By Bob Finehout
Fellow-scribe Eddie Allen's musings yesterday on the de-hydration of
Chapel Hill for the Sabbath set us to reminiscing about the era of gin-ringed
bathtubs and Sicilian hootch-peddlers. The biggest luminary among the
citizenry of those times was." a bullet-headed Florentine who puffed costly
panatellas, and purveyed spirits of an illicit nature. If you pressed him for
his name, this affable gee would hand you a card with the words "Alphonse
Capone, Second Hand Furniture Dealer" embossed thereon. But Mr. Capone
didn't know a chair seat from a Louis Quatorze commode. His interests were
For instance, say you run a re
spectable but extra-legal club, pa
tronized by a select clientele of al
dermen, the local constabulary and
anybody who is old enough to say
"Joe sent me." One afternoon when
business is not exactly rushing, two
men decked out in black fedoras and
overcoats with velvet-lined lapels
ankle up to the bar. You stop' wip
ing the mahogany slab and ask
what is their pleasure. One of them
inquires politely, "Where d'ya get
your beer?" Angered by his in
quisitiveness you reply that it is
r none of his business and for them
both to lam it.
Before you can reach for the bung
starter, a big red paw grabs you by
the throat and a concerned voice
snarls, "You heard the question or
must I coerce you, friend?" Right
then if you are smart you will reply
with alacrity, "I get it from O'Ban
ion." The paw will release its prey
and soon the three of you will be
getting along like sorority sisters.
The mention of the name O'Banion
causes one of the hoods to shake his
head slowly and go, "Tch, tch." You
ask him why he goes "Tch, tch" and
he answers "I know this will disrupt
your bookkeeping, little friend, but
from now on you will no longer pa
tronize this Mr. O'Banion whom you
mentioned. We will gladly serve you
with 100 kegs of beer a week, thus
closing out the said Mr. O'Banion's
account, ipso facto, as our attorney
would say."
"But O'Banion will feel piqued, I
know," you protest.
"Reliable sources," says one of
the tortillas, "have it that this Mr.
O'Banion is retiring from private
enterprise. His physician has rec
ommended a prolonged sea voyage."
At this juncture the two gentlemen
turn on their heels, bidding you a
courteous adieu.
The next day right on the front
page of the News is a full-length
foto of Mr. O'Banion nattily dressed
in a dark pin-stripe Brooks original
with a white gardenia in the button
hole and contrasting mouse-grey
spats. The fact that Mr. O'Banion is
lying in a pool of his own blood
strikes you immediately and you mur
mur to yourself , . "Mr. Capone's beer
is better, anyhow," and turn to the
sports page. '
Now we're not trying to say that
because Mayor, Madry shut off the
Sunday spigot the ancient and hon
orable profession of beer-isjnning will
be established in this incorporated
village. We seriously doubt that
Neopolitan spirit salesmen will traf
fic in Chapel Hill.
On the other hand, how many more
of the law-abiding will attend
church ?
pective artists or groups of artists.

up, held up, held down, hung up, bull
dozed, blackjacked, walked on, cheat

war tax, excess profits tax, state dog
tax and syntax; Liberty bonds, Baby
