No Kick
It happened again. Every time the veterans and other stu
dents who have been yelling loudest about some campus situa
tion get a golden opportunity to make their presence felt and to
air their views on the matter, they fail to take advantage of it.
We certainly are in sympathy with those few campus heads
who have attempted to help students by calling these mass meet
ings with members of the administration present to discuss
the problems. They are getting sick and tired of listening to
students, complain haphazardly and then fail to appear when
they get a chance to complain to the proper persons.
Latest instance occurred Thursday night when UVA Presi
dent Roy Moose called a mass meeting of all students, espe
cially veterans, to discuss the registration system and the book
problem with Messrs. Lanier, Ritchie, and Shepard of the Uni
versity. This was the opportunity for all to state their com
plaints and opinions, to hear the administration's viewpoint
and explanation as to why each step was taken. ' Yet a mere
handful of people showed up for the meeting. Approximately
60 students were present.
Granted the fact that Representative Kennedy's excellent
speech at the same hour drew a packed audience of 800 to Hill
hall, it must be remembered that 850 is but a small percentage of
the student body.
If students had any gripes, they should have attended the
meeting, which was well-publicized, last night. One can't help
but. feel that some of the biggest moaners on this campus just
like to feel sorry for themselves. Apparently they can yell
loudly until they get a legitimate opportunity to do so, at which
time they disappear from the scene.
The administration showed its interest in the matter when
its representatives appeared. UVA officials showed their in
terest by scheduling the meeting. The finger of disinterest can
point at but one large group the majority of the student body.
And our conclusion is that, as far as most of the members of
the lethargic student body is concerned, they have no kick com
ing unless it be administered to the seat of their collective
trousers. 1
That Word
Effective immediately, the use of the word "Spring" on the
editorial page of the Daily Tar Heel is "verboten." Twice in
two weeks season-rushing enthusiasts on our editoria) staff have
written editorials in which the beautiful days marking the
early season were mentioned.
No sooner was the word out of the typewriter on each occa
sion than old man weather decided to prove to these cocky col
legiate journalists that their knowledge of the weather wasn't
any greater than their knowledge of newspaper work.
The first time "the word" was used, a week of cold weather
followed that made inhabitants check and doublecheck their cal
endars. However, it wasn't until the second time "the word"
appeared that the weather man doublecrossed us, but good.
A. short editorial in Tuesday's paper contained a comment
on "the word." Yesterday we experienced the heaviest snow
fall of the year at the latest date in years. While we should
have been enjoying sunny days and balmy weather, we froze
in a heavy snowfall. Baseball and sof tball games were post
poned. Students plodded through snow to classes.
-; We won't mention "the word" again. Our warm weather
writers have been properly chagrined.
It looks like a long, cold winter. ;t
Warm hearts make sound homes. Hot heads break them.
We need united notions for the United Nations.

To the Editor:
Your editorial on the inaction and apparent complete disinterest of our
campus leaders has again brought to the attention of the students the sort of
do-nothing leadership that has characterized the campus for so long. We all
should know or have a reasonably accurate idea of what the chosen represen
tatives of the students are supposed to do, but at no time in the past year, as
you point out, has any leading campus officer taken a firm stand on one of
the many problems. .
The reason for this neglect is quite
obvious when one views the petty
politicians of Carolina. If any one of
our illustrious student leaders can
come forth and show to the campus
Strictly Detrimental ....
CPU Activity Is Encouraging
Light in Dark CampusScene
By Jud Kinberg
Amid the fog of ineffectiveness currently shrouding many campus organ
izations, activities of the Carolina Political Union stand out in welcome relief.
During fall quarter, the CPU hibernated along with other groups, but in
the past month it has quickly regained its place as the outstanding discussion
unit at Carolina. Thursday night's presentation of young Congressman
John F. Kenfield culminated this return to puissance on the part of the CPU.
The capacity crowd at Hill hall was probably the largest any speaker has
seen "out front" at UNC this school year. The people heard a man who was
i 3an effective and stimulating platform
personage, one who combined intelli-
What Do
YOU Say?

TODAY'S QUESTION
What do you think of the new
American foreign policy of financing
other nations in the fight against Com
munism? '
ANSWERS
I'm 100 behind the move. It is
better to spend the money now for
prevention than later for a cure.
Harry Charles, Jr., Florence, S. C.
I believe the policy is too great a
step. Housecleaning should begin at
home. While the intentions are good,
I do not approve of the methods be
ing used. William Harris, Green
ville. I sincerely think that the Greek
loan is one of the best and most ef
ficient ways to check Communism.
Also, I am in full accord and agree
ment with Mr. Kennedy's views as ex
pressed in his recent speech on Ameri
can Foreign policy. Victor Johnson,
Asheville.
For some months now I have been
conducting this column, giving you,
gence with platform personality.
Appearance of Kennedy came only
a few weeks after the same Carolina
Political Union had on its speakers'
stand the most original orator to
journey here in some years: Sen
ator Glenn D. Taylor of Idaho.
Democratic Congressman Taylor cre
ated a minor sensation with his
liberal ideology and his unorthodox
"entertainment" in which wife and
young son took part.
It is to the credit of the Union and
the officers leading it that they have
been able to bring to Carolina two
men equipped with such outstanding
audience appeal and grasp of national
and international problems. Mr. Ken
nedy's topic was taken from today's
headlines and the knowledge he dis
played of it mark him as one of our
more conscientious Congressmen.
If the Carolina Political union con
tinues to function in this manner, it
will soon spread-eagle its field. I hope
that this will not occur. Other organ
izations, notably the International Re
lations club, have remained dormant
for long period at this time when peace
or war are very much at stake. These
other groups should make haste to
match and surpass activities ( of the
Union.
The CPU has proven that campus
indifference can be obviated by clever
programming. All we need is more
the student, an opportunity to express such planning by all discussion or-
that he has represented the students
as completely and fully as his elec
torate designated by their choice, let
him do so and prove me in error. I
doubt if one can honestly appear in
this light.
Student government is dead in
Chapel Hill today and good riddance.
Let us get back to the beer and the
books, leaving the tinhorn and two-bit
politicians to taking turns electing
each other and putting each other's
names in the Daily Tar Heel. ,

A Suggestion
Dear Sirs:
It has been noted that much criti
cism has arisen over the present regis
tration system by the student body
and also criticsm over the past sys
tem of registration by the Administra
tion. " ; ' '
' Although the past system involved
waiting in line to receive courses at
specified hours, the present system in
volved less waiting in line, but no
choice of hours or professors. The fact
is appreciated that the Administration
is burdened with heavy enrollment and
also that it is under-staffed, however
the welfare of the Student should still
be thj main goal and in this respect
may I submit the following recommen
dation as to how both Administration
and Students could )e better satisfied.
1) Registration slips should be pro
vided with space for selection of hours
for each class period, so that the stu
dent might fill in the course he wishes
to take at that hour. (As under the
old system).
2) Graduating Seniors should be al
lowed to register the first andor sec
ond day so that. they might get the re
quired courses for graduation.
3) Coupled with the old system of
first come first served, each depart
ment or school should set up a sched
ule or lists before the date of registra
tion, having the students sign up for
interview with their advisors or deans
as is now done in the General College
Thus the student that signed up first
on the list would be first to register.
The elimination of lines, especially in
the fichool of Commerce would be af
fected. -
4) Once the registration slips are
filled out the student snould take them
to the Central-Registration point.
(Class tickets to be picked up' at a
later date, as in the new system). This
would provide that when class cacds
are pulled for each student they be
pulled in order of their delivery to the
central point. (If need be date and
time of delivery should oe provided for
on these. slips to keep them in order).
This would also eliminate lines at
this point. T
5) Students should be required (as
under the present system) to place al
ternate courses on the registration
slip so that in the event the first
choices are not available the second
choices would be allowed. Should it
happen that all these courses are fill
ed, the student affected should be call
ed in as soon as possible and be made
acquainted with the situation to de
termine what courses' he would like to
take in place of those closed. Or pro
vision should be made to wait until the
beginning of the next quarter to "see
if any vacancies had arisen in classes
desired. The former, in my opinion,
would eliminate great ' portion of
dropping and adding of courses.
. 6) Also students who were allowed
t register for classes due to jobs, and
other reasons should receive every
consideration as was done under this.
present, schedule,
It is felt that under this system the
students would be permitted not only
tc choose their courses at the desired
hours, but also to obtain the desired
professors. It has been necessary in
some instances to split. classes this
quarter but that was due to size of
classes and no fault "of the registra
tion system The fact that the Ad
ministration has to pull class tickets
for each student would not be made
more difficult' by pulling the tickets
for specified hours.
The above is submitted for what it
is worth and it is hoped that it will
receive due consideration.

WRONG NUMBER
University Business Manager C. E.
Teague is being roundly "cussed" by
employees of the local telephone office
this week and through no fault of his
own.
When the new telephone directory
distributed in Chapel Hill yester
day came off the presses last week,
it was discovered that Teague's home
number was the only wrong one in
the book, and someone had to go
through all 5,000 copies of the direc
tory and insert the correct number by
hand.
FRENCH CONVERSATION
Mrs. Charlotte Huse will conduct
a French conversation class five days
a week from 4 to 5 o'clock. This class
is designed especially for those who
have some knowledge of the language
and wish to practice speaking French.

your views. During this time I have
formed a number of opinions of my
own, about the student body, which
I now propose to pass on so that you
may know what I say.
I would divide the student body in
the following way: 75 of the stu
dents have no opinion about anything
whatsoever; 10 are afraid to sign
their names to their own beliefs (are
those of you in this group afraid to
defend what you believe in?); 5
.are completely uncoopeiiative; and
finally there is the remaining 10
whose answers are read twice a week
in this column. Which group do you
fall into, dear reader?
The poor response to today's ques
tion has occasioned this outburst. To
get the answers given above I con
suited more than thirty people.
Twenty-seven students had no opin
ion or were admittedly afraid to
express one. A few did not even
know what America's new foreign
policy is. I personally feel the latter
are' wasting their time at a university.
This new policy is going to have far
reaching affects; at the very least it
will mean money out of all your pock
ets. Are most of you students on this
campus in the habit of spending money
without knowing what you spend it
for?
, I questioned students who were
reading books on European history
in the library. They had no opinions.
Of what use is it to study the past
ganizations.
One sour note crept into the sweet
music played at Hill hall. It was the
impromptu siege between the brothers
and pledges of one of the fraternities.
College high-jinks are dear to my
heart, but it does seem like a bit of
bad timing and bad placing. There ia
u great difference between what goes
on at any college and what purport
edly goes on. For a college whose aver
age age is well above 20, it seems that
such boyish exuberance might be con
trolled. history of Europe if you don't read
your daily papers and listen to men
like Kennedy to find out what is go
ing on in the world about" you and is
going to have a direct affect on you.
Wake up and live, students! Get
ting an education is a two-fold pro
cess; you have to put something into
it to get something out of it. What
do you say? H.S.
NEXT QUESTION
Do you have any complaints against
the University laundry service?
