And the Green Grass Grew
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has been
noted always throughout the nation for its quiet, natural beauty.
People will always comment on what a pretty spot Chapel Hill
is wherever the University is mentioned.
And Chapel Hill has continued through the years to keep its
best scenic foot forward. Regardless of any controversial is
sues that have arisen as time goes by, not even the most vigor
ous critics of the University have been able to say anything bad
about about this ever-present natural beauty.
If anyone ever dared to mention the words "slums" in con
nection with Chapel Hill, he would have been only ridiculed.
Nothing has ever marred the beauty of this little college town.
Until now. Until now when a certain section of the village
is in danger of falling into the slums category unless prompt
action is taken by the proper persons.
We are thinking of the Vetville sector. Since its inception,
this small area of veterans' homes located on the Pittsboro
road has been bogged down in mud and dirt. Its streets be
come quagmires whenever it rains. It has stood out like a sore
thumb in this small, overcrowded town.
But it need not remain in its present condition. For example,
the planting of spring grass immediately will improve the
muddy fronts of the homes immeasurably. It will cost but a
minute amount of money to purchase the grass seeds. It will
involve little labor to sow them. It will result in helping beau
tify the area. '.
But it must be done immediately if the grass is to grow by
spring. And green grass is a necessity in Vetville. No one
who has walked by or driven through the area can deny the
fact that it is becoming more of an eyesore daily.
Planting grass is only one of the things that can be done
to help lift the ugly face of one of Chapel Hill's newest babies.
Vet village is a wonderful place that affords married veterans
a place to live while attending school. But it is a dirty, un
sightly place.
Someone has sadly neglected it. If nothing else is done, we
urge those living in Vetville to take matters into their own.
hands and improve conditions. It is up to the student body to
see that our ugly chile gets prettied up in a hurry.
Concert Review. . ..
NationalSymphony Orchestra
Shows Great Improvement
By R. Haskell Hamilton
Returning to Chapel Hill on Tuesday night, the National Symphony or
chestra brought a first rate symphonic group to Memorial hall. Almost every
one who has heard this group agreed that the present personnel of the or
chestra represents a tremendous improvement over the calibre of the per
sonnel in past years. Nobody will contend that it is a truly great orchestra.
During the concert, however, the group displayed an interpretative reach
that marks it as a fine, first-rate symphonic orchestra; if not a. great group.
You missed a rewarding evening, if you were not in attendance.
"Lilting" is the word that best -r '
describes the opening selection of
the performance. Overly brassy in
spots Freschobaldi's Toccata recei
ved an excellent treatment by the
National Symphony. Victor' has re
corded this number and ' it is cer
tainly one that belongs in a music
lover's library. Easily the best num
ber of the evening from a stand
point of feeling, warmth, intricacy
and tone was Mozart's Symphony
No. 25 in G Minor. '
Scriabin's work was next present
ed as Kmdler chose two Etudes to
play. Displaying a generally good dis
cipline and tonal quality, these selec
tions concluded the first half of the
program.
Energetic, lively and modern Khac-
haturian's Suite from Gayaneh was
the initial offering of the second por
tion of the program. Enthusiastically
received in its first Chapel Hill per
formance, . the National Symphony
obliged fey repeating the third portion
i of the suite, "Dance with Sabres." It
was as though two different orches
tras had played tthe same suite. In
the second playing the orchestra for
the first time lifted itself out of the
drab category and displayed style and
many subtleties of orchestral detail.
un tne wnoxe i got tne impression
that Kindler conducts Khachaturian
with entirely too slight a feeling.
Two .Wagnerian selections, Tra
nme and the Prelude to act I of Die
Meistersinger concluded what was
termed by Katharine Mims, a rep-
resentative music student, as a
"rather satisfying concert."
For their encores the orchestra re
turned to Mozart and played the wed
ding procession music from The
Marriage of Figaro. Morton Gould's
symphonic arrangement of "When!
Johnny Comes Marching Home" was
the final choice of conductor Hans
Kindler, as he lapsed into the com
mercialism which has kept him from I
building a finer symphony orchestra
than the one which he now has.

One Dime
Dear Sir:
In front of the Strowd Motor Com
pany, one evening a few weeks ago
I met a Corporal who was looking for
a place to have supper. He was wait
ing for a bus.
His shoulder patch showed that he
belongs to the same outfit I was in
His limp and his ribbons proved that
a lot of people had shot at him. He
was shivering.
The proprietor of a local cafe told
me that Negroes weren't allowed to
eat there. So the Corporal ate his
hamburger in the street.
Let's suppose that the Corporal has
exchanged khaki for denims; he goes
to the mill office, asks for a job. He
cannot tend a machine because of his
wounded leg, so he is taken on as a
cents but he was a white.
So far, this is just a case of dollar
discrimination, based on white su
premacy. The mill ' makes another
dime. But: Where does this dime go?
Does it buy a couple of bricks for a
Southern home? Or is it a tip for a
New York barman?
If I were one of the men who runs
a Worth Carolina mill from an estate
in New Jersey, I'd think this was
fine: A divided South means cheap
labor, more profits, more investment,
more , of my own brand of Private
Government. (Which is just dandy
but not necessarily for the South.)
Trace every major problem of the
South back to its roots, and you will
find a white man and a Negro. The
Negro on the bottom. A relationship
which is worth a lot of dimes, but not
Student Audit Statements
In this issue of The Daily Tar Heel the Audit Board is publishing the
statements of income and expense of some of the student-supported organ
izations. We shall continue to publish these statements until the financial
reports of all student-supported organizations are presented to the students.
It is emphasized that these reports cover the fiscal year July 1, 1945 to June
30, 1946.
It would be well for each student to know and understand just how these
organizations receive their income and how much each of you contribute to
their support. Below is a schedule of charges which are collected as you pay
your tuition and other University charges. We know that these charges are
listed on your registration forms but there is not listed the breakdown which
we . are giving below.

These fees are based on a period of one quarter and naturally vary for
summer sessions and for semester periods. These fees apply to all undergraduates.
All the finances of the campus organizations operated wholely or partially
through the use of student fees are handled by the Student Activities Fund
Office. The Office is located in Graham Memorial and employes a full time
accountant in its operation. The Office is under the supervision of a Uni
versity employed auditor. . -
As the fees are collected for the various charges listed 'in this article,
they are credited to that particular organizational account in the Activities
Office by the University business office.
The Student Activities Fund Office operates on the voucher system.
Before any invoice may be paid, all vouchers must be passed and signed by
the president and treasurer of the particular organization and Mr. Kear
of the Activities Office. Regular yearly reports are prepared and these re
ports are the ones which shall be published from time to time.

surface of the earth would be made

stream. Simultaneously, these scien
tists are reported to be preparing a
means tor speedily extinguishing
such blazes by a system of back
fires and chemical devices which
could hold its spread at the border
line of any country.
Fantastic as this may sound, it is
only a small phase of the field which
science opened up at a time when the
Government, in desperation and out
of fear of what enemy scientists
might be doing, gave American scien
tists full freedom to work.
An earth-crust chain reaction is
now deemed a reasonable possibility
and might mean the end for a coun
try even as large as Russia. A chain
reaction ot this type could carry
across mountains, through ice and
snow, searing everything in its paih
with the relentless force of a gigantic,
fire-burning steam' roller.
American scientists warn that
what they are working on is also be
ing worked on by scientists all over
the world. No nation has a monopoly
on knowledge. What American sci
ence has is a head start and the
"know-how."
Note Yet there are still some peo
ple who wonder whether it is a good
idea to have international control of
atomic energy!

A STRANGE REPUBLICAN
While Senat6r Bob Taft of Ohio
reciprocal trade, but to uncork some
views of the coming Geneva Confer
ence, at which time the USA will sit
down with 17 other nations to iron
out bottlenecks in world commerce.
Johnston, former president of the
U. S. Chamber of Commerce and
frequently mentioned as a GOP
Presidential dark horse, emphasized
that he was speaking s a Republi
can when he expressed hope that
the Geneva Trade Conference will
succeed. He strongly urged Truman
to do just the reverse of the Taft
policy and work for the mutual lift
ing of restrictive tariffs on interna
tional trade.
Unless this is done, Johnston told
Truman, all countries will have to go
back to barter and national isolation.
World peace depends more on opening
up the channels of trade than in re
stricting them, Johnston added, and
the Geneva Conference may be the
last chance to make a sick world well.
Johnston argued that all nations
will have to learn to sacrifice some
trade adventages to gain others, and
no nation can expect always to get
the best of the bargain. In the long
run reciprocity works out for the ad
vantage of everybody.
England, for instance, Johnston told
Truman, sells Scotch whisky cheaper
in New York than in London because
of the advantage it gains in the ex
change of other goods.
If the United States expects oth
er nations to continue looking to ns
for leadership, we must continue to
take the lead in world cooperation,
the movie czar declared.
. President Truman's reaction to this
unusual Republican declaration could
be described as pop-eyed approbation.
He was almost speechless. Though
Johnston is known for his forthright,
liberal views on foreign affairs, not
since Franklin Roosevelt was alive
had the President's office heard such
two-fisted philosophizing.
