it Pcgre Two FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1946 THE DAILY TAR HEEL ;3 I 5- J" 1 j f i i f :! What We Think of the Klan What do you have against the Klan? This question was asked by one student of another in a letter that found its way to our office. The recipient of the letter feels, and so do we, that this question demands an answer. What do we have against the Klan? We loathe the principle upon which it is based that principle being a vicious, inhuman, unreasonable approach to a problem that confronts all of us. We hold the Klan in contempt because its members hide behind white sheets afraid to bear the scrutiny of an enlightened peo ple. We condemn its flouting of the laws of the land. Not only does it make mockery of the principles of justice, it also violates every principle and ideal of Christianity. It thrives on fear; on ignorance. We have against the Klan the fact that it never offers any solution to the Negro problem other than deportation of negroes or the continuance of class slavery. Apparently it forgets the military contributions of Negroes toward winning & freer world -a freer America. When the Klan jspea&s of deportation, we wonder if they have considered the economic slavery in , which the Negro race in the South is held. We wonder what they think Southern economy would be without low-paid, unedu cated, docile iabor. Oh yes, these Bourbons, these ostriches with ' their heads in the sand would keep the Negro in his "place" and tie the bonds of slavery tighter. But the South, in spite of the Klan and like breeds, is coming out of poverty and has recogniz- . ed that it costs us more in self-respect and in money to keep the Negro in his "place" than it is worth. We abominate the methods of the Klan.' We in the south have heard the whisper spread through the night that the Kian was out to get a "nigger." We have seen cars filled with hooded men carrying burning white crosses as they sped toward niggertown on their mission of warning, or of murder, We knew there was no law to stop them then. But much has passed since then. Forces are at work bringing to light the actions of the Talmad- Km. IL S. PaL HjJkl mm NMnM S FU.L WROMG ' l ' 1 Behind the Flickers .... Various Religious Factions Oppose 'Abie's Irish Rose' By Charlie Kaufman Various religious groups claim Bing Crosby's production of "Abie's Irish Rose" is the worst caricature of Jews and Catholics ever filmed and will set them bade 20 years in their work of bringing Americans closer together. With the uproar being raised and considering the fact that Crosby is a sup posedly devout Catholic, it will be interesting to see whether or not he will be willing to scrap a million-dollar film in order to avoid any rash conse quences which may follow the release of the pic SIGHTS AND INSIGHTS: Date-- terious enects oi tne j-ecnnicoior siumw tieup by the Hollywood labor strike where ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise." 'What Do YOU Say! By Sam Daniels Today's qne&Um How Aq you find the food and food ges, the Bilbos, and the Columbians. There is alawnow. We are j Prices Chapel Hffl compared with that law. We have against the Klan, its very being. We challenge its right to live and we will fight to see it dead. Enter Your Answer Clashes between Russians and Americans in the United Na tions Assembly are a dialy affair. You see black headlines in each morning paper relating the latest conflict. You see faults in the organization; you see trouble ahead that might lead to an other war when you have just finished fighting one and are sick and tired of the whole thing. Whether you were fighting the war indirectly or directly you have a lot at stake at the pres ent time, namely, peace, a fair peace with no bones of conten tion that will lead eventually to another and greater conflict. Perhaps you have thought over this problem and may have come upon what you consider to be a plausible solution. If you have not, you spent the war years in wasted effort. Next Thursday a contest closes on. the campus which has as its aim the furtherance of thought on the preservation of peace. Sponsored by the AVC and! offering a prize of $100 for the best essay on the subject "Practicable Means of Achieving Peace," this contest is profitable not only as a supplement to the $65 subsistence checks, but it offers to Carolina students the op portunity to put down on paper what they think is the solution to the most vital problem of today. To win this contest you need not be a stellar writer. That is not the primary purpose of the contest. Rather you must have an idea of a means of attaining peace that is practical and can be put into effect in the world today. Don't take peace for granted. thme lsewhere? The Answers In a few places the food is all right, but it costs on the average twice as much as ft does in Columbia. (I had to prove it to Daddy) Mickie Der ieux, Columbia, S. C. The food is real good in a few places, but it sho' is expensive even compared to tourist cities. Ellie Rodd, St. Pete, Fla. On a whole the food is lousy, but then it is everywhere, I have found two or three good places. The prices of. the meals are high, but so, is the cost of food. Merrily Brooks, Frank lin. In some places such as fraternity houses, private homes and sometimes Lenoir the food and prices are good. Uptown the food isn't worth eating, especially when you pay so much for it. I can't say that I know of any city where the food situation is much better however. Bill Leinback, Winston-Salem. Wouldn't it be a good idea if we had a Viennese Pastry Shop that isn't so eager for the student's purse as are all the benevolent Chapel Hill merchants. Herbert Kiramelt ' Green sboro. A few places have good food in general. The breakfast foods are al ways the same ; which isn't the way it should be. The prices everywhere are ridiculous and especially in Cha pel Hill the price seems to be about twice that of other places. Heath Alexander, Charlotte.

COMPLETE LEASED WIRE SERVICE OF UNITED PRESS The plniona expressed by the columnists are their own and not neces sarily those of The Daily Tar HeeL In This . . . . . Poet's . . . . . Corner .... with Randy Well, I see by the papers , that the Carolina White Phantom Basketball schedule is out. Seems like a pretty good schedule and the boys are really up in the big time leagues. I certain ly wish them good luck in their games in Chicago, New York, Phila delphia and paints North, South and West. But, I'm not gonna be able to see our boys play in all of those fab ulous places and big indoor arenas, so naturally my thoughts turn to whether or not I'll be able to see the team in action on its home court in Chapel Hill. There are, at present, over 6,500 students in Chapel Hill, many of them with wives. The stands in Woollen Gymnasium, can hold that many peo ple, plus a few more. . .if BOTH SIDES of the stands are used, for STUDENTS. Accordingly, the ques tion is: What is the policy o$ the Athletic Association, with reference to the seating iof students during the impending basketball season? Are the games going to be "closed" to students, in order to sell tickets to the public? Or, are tickets to be sold to the public for one side of the bleachers and an attempt made to jam-pack the students into the other side ? This columnist respectfully sug gests that definite numbered -seats be set aside for all of the students; and if any seats are left over they should then go to the faculty, University employees, Alumni, and general pub lic. . .in the order named. tJp until now, the Athletic As sociation has shown a commendable spirit of cooperation with the . stu dent body. Indeed, it handled the football seating mess in exemplory fashion AFTER the original mix up was occasioned by unfortunate circumstances. This column is be ing written to prevent a similar situation BEFORE the damage is done.

All nature bows to your approach she cannot battle such a foe, so fill the heavens with thunderous blasts, , and cover all the world with snow I What care I if grey dawns form or bells give forth an icy ring; I can smile on what has been, for in my heart ... it's always spring. JINX HELM CWC TO ORGANIZE SUNDAY The Carolina Workshop will hold its first meeting of the year at 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon in the Per- I son hall Art gallery. Professor John V. Allcott, head of 'the University Art department, will be the featured speaker. We, the students, would appreciate a statement of policy from the Ath letic Association regarding the seat ing program for students during the impending basketball season. We, the students, feel that we have this right as the ultimate source of the power support, and funds of the Athletic Association. And, we the students, are fully appreciative of the spirit of cooperation shown by Coach Bob Fet- zer in speaking to the Di Senate with reference to mutual problems. It is to be hoped that this spirit will be continued on behalf of the Athletic Association. Baptist Union to Hold Supper Forum Tonight The Baptist Student Union will hold a supper forum this evening at 5:45 in the Baptist Church. Y. H. Tsou, Chinese Director of Re lief Division, and Chinese national re ligion relief worker, will be the guest speaker. Mr. Tsou has chosen ''Con f ucionism" for his topic and will point out the influence Confucionism has on Chinese culture. Bill Gulley, forum chairman will preside at the meeting. It is expected the program will conclude in time for the pep rally.

FACTS AND FANCIES: How ard Hughes, who was operating on a moral I.Q. of 35 when he pro duced "The Outlaw," is now having it out with the Archbishop of San ta Fe and his associates because all Catholics were asked , to avoid the pic. A private showing was ar ranged for the ministers of all de nominations. All the Protestants accepted, but the Catholics stayed away. Well, well, some people can't draw the line between narrow mindedness and belief in self. . .

First of all, the matter of courtesy on behalf of the telephone operators has been sadly neglected here. The men who are in charge of our tele phone system know that courtesy is a ! pre-requisite and friendly service a 'must' in our present aay age ana time. For example, my roommate has been trying to call home for three con secutive days, only to be jolted by a harsh "no circuit" and ''try again" at every attempt. No doubt the lines were tied up, the operator busy, prob ably tired; however, a little tact and friendliness would have gone a long way. Furthermore, officials might consi der the possibility of providing a phone for every floor in the men's dorms, and they may also find a . solution to the system of party lines which has proved to be a nuisance, to say the least. A change would be of benefit to all con cerned, and an inquiry by University officials into inadequacies of our phone system would be greatly appreciated by both faculty and students. Sincerely yours, PETER H. GERNS For Better A ppreciation Dear Sir, Mr. Hoffman's letter calls for a re ply and it isn't easy. Many students manage to get through the language requirement without learning much of value to them. Usually those who com plain most about language are those whose knowledge of English grammar isn't of college calibre. For such stu dents the most important function of foreign language study is to help them better to understand their own speech. Every Carolina student wants to use correct English. French and Span ish lend themselves to analysis better than English does. Those who start a foreign language expecting it to be a medicine will find it such. No course, however, is de signed for those who find it a drudg ery. Language courses, as any oth ers at Carolina, are designed for those who expect to get something out of them. Just as we can't enjoy English literature without knowing the Eng lish verb, we need to study the funda mentals of French or Spanish to ap preciate fully the literature of those nations. J. A.
