Page Two THE DAILY TAB HEEL SATURDAY, APRIL 5, 1947 Now Isthe Time Although the present weather may not remind one of foot ball and September may still seem to be in the far distant future to some, may we remind you that one has only to go down to the football practice fields these warm afternoons to see Coach Carl Snavely putting his team through prolonged workouts. And may we respectfully remind the Carolina Athletic Asso ciation that before we realize it the football season and the seat ing problem will be with us once again. It is definitely not too early to work out suitable seating arrangements for the over flow of students who will be packing Kenan stadium for every game this fall. Perhaps a little thought and planning now could eliminate endless griping and complaining when the. season opens. The seating problem is brought to our attention by notices in the Duke Chronicle and the Georgia Tech Technique, at which two schools the bad seating arrangements last year caused no end of trouble. The Men's Student Government at Duke announced recently "that the student section of the Duke stadium has been moved back to approximately its former position for next fall's foot ball games." The announcement continued: "In response to the general disapproval of the student body to the seating change made last fall. . ... .student organizations have been successful in having the student seating sections moved from the 35-yard line to the 47-yard stripe." f The Duke SGA is to be commended for its work in getting the Duke officials to give the students back their seats. There can be no argument against the fact that, if football is to remain on a collegiate status, loyal student supporters deserve the top seats. Similarly, the Student Council at Georgia Tech has proposed a long resolution to the Athletic board, chief item of which calls for student seating to start at the 50-yard line and go as far north as necessary. Seating arrangements at Carolina's opening game last fall brought forth an outburst of angry student protest. The Athletic Association cooperated, erected temporary stands, improved conditions for later games. x It is to be realized that this fall, more students will have to be seated than ever before in the University's long athletic history. It will not be an easy task, should furnish many a head ache to those in charge before the season ends. But some intelligent thinking and a little cooperation now might lessen the pain of some of those early fall headaches. A good seating plan will make Carolina students happy come September. I'd Rather Be Right.. :. Senate Vote Favoring Lilienthal Is Triumph for Justice and Truth By Earl Heffner There was sorrow in the League of Pettiness this inorning as bereaved malcontents who sought to eliminate David E. Lilienthal from the chairman ship of the Atomic Energy commission sat back and licked their wounds inflicted on them by the arms of Justice and Truth as wielded by forthright, intelligent senators. Thank God, there was nor party line demarkation in the balloting. Rather men of the Bilbo-Talmadge ilk continued their despicable assault on the bloody head of Mr. Lilienthal whether they were Republican or Democrat. $ Cancer Control Month April has been designated by the President of the United States as "Cancer Control Month." Cancer control is one of the big problems facing our country today, for this vicious disease which strikes young and old alike is far f roni conquered. Over 2500 persons in North Carolina alone died as a re sult of cancer last year. One out of every eight people in this country will die this year. Such facts are not pleasant. If they are to be eliminated from our country's future, understanding of the nature of cancer and intelligent work to combat it are necessary. It is the responsibility of every American to educate himself concerning the cancer problem and do his part in the fight against cancer.

Sam Desdele, Betel The "Big Two" among Senate Re publicans split on the issue as grey ing Arthur Vandenberg, the Mich- , igan internationalist, brought ring ing applause from the galleries with his vigorous argument for President Truman's nominee while balding Robert Taft supported the recommit tal motion of his first term colleague, "Honest John" Bricker, also of Ohio. When the final roll call vote was tabulated, the Senate was on record as refusing Mr. Brickers motion to send Mr. Lilienthal's nomination back to committee for a check by the Fed eral Bureau of Investigation by a 52 to 38 vote. As a result ageing Sena tor McKellar, Tennessee Democrat who opposed Mr. Lilienthal because the lat ter wouldn't play politics, , suffered a bitter defeat. The Tennessee Tiger did succeed in another last minute move when he blocked an effort by Senator Hickenlooper, Republican of Iowa, to get an agreement to vote on the Lilienthal nomination at 5 p.m. Monday. Thus, Mr. Kellar scored a point. And so did the town bully when he took his baseball and bat home be cause the other fellows wouldn't let him pitch in the crucial game. If Mr. McKellar and the 31 Re publicans and six other Democrats, who voted with him could have their way, the Atomic Energy com mission would be a political instru ment to be used in the philosophy of the Jacksonian spoils system. Fortunately, it does not appear that they shall win their childish whim. For the final "Senatorial vote was widely interpreted on Capitol Hill as meaning that the Senate will jconfirm Mr. Lilienthal - when a 'final vote comes, perhaps next week. This breathing spell will give Mr. Lilienthal's opponents an opportunity to decide whether to carry the fight in the face of apparently insurmoun table odds. An intelligent decision would be to abandon the fight since both sides admitted that the anti- Lilienthal group probably mustered its Greatest strength in this latest test. Certainly, President Truman and Nominee Lilienthal are to be com mended for their staunch, unswerv ing maintenance of their just posi tion in the face of so much person al and petty assaulting. In the meanwhile, the voters of America should give close attention to names of anti-Lilienthal senators. For the benefit of those interested on this campus, here it is: For recommittal f38).

System of Seasoning Makes For Strong Future Leaders - By Jud Kinberg Whatever the reason, student politics at Carolina are travelling at a safe-and-sane speed that belies the proximity of the big spring elections. The restraint so far shown is as commendable as it is amazing. In the past years, student politicians inundated the Daily Tar Heel and campus with a torrent of nominations, then proceeded to drown us all with claims and counter-claims. This year more thought and deliberation seems to be going into choice of candidates, less into meaningless oratory. This election is the time to rein- stitute the "seasoning" system Jlettei aU& QMo By Gum! Dear Sir: FOR THIS 1SSUB t lfzssr Esasxi EcsHa J&blxa Sfcszat Db Goldwater It is high time, it seems to me, that the attention of the Administration, the Department Heads, the Student Welfare Board, the miscellaneous ad visory councils be called to a mali cious habit which has inundated this campus to pose as a menace to the greater part of the student body and to the sensibilities of those Who con cern themselves with this sort of thing. I refer, sir, to the chewing of gum. ' Although to some campus liberals this may seem an innocuous enough occupation, to the contrary, 1 declare it a dire menace to the preservation of order and discipline hereabouts. There is nothing so hypocritical, sir, than to see a group of students seemingly deep in ruminating their studies,' when all the time they are ruminating only gum. Nor is there anything so distracting to the taking of notes than a gum-snapper masti cating behind you. I need not, I believe, resort to the mass of figures showing the tremen dous increment of labor needed to clear gum-wrappers alone from the campus. Nor need I more than point out the woeful unsanitariness of second-hand chewing gum parked 'under sundry desks, seats, etc. The situa tion, sir, is apalling. Now that the Great Smoking Prob lem has been successfully handled by administrative council and encyclical; the time has' come to act on this equally deplorable situation. As a clinching argument permit me to point out a possible chain of action, now that smoking has been effective ly banned. With a gum-chewing back ground it is but one step for the de prived smoker to take up the chaw; a situation which was not foreseen in the recent administrative letter that cured the Tobacco menace. Why, should the chew become popular, the appropriations needed for spitooni alone would throw this institution into bankruptcy. Therefore it is only just that for the preservation of "maintainance. order, and training" the chewing gum be eradicated by the most expeditious means possible, b'gum. : Yours, J. K. KRUSPY Janitorial Faux Pas Until the beginning of the. second quarter of this school year the indi vidual rooms in the men's dormitories received no janitorial service. About a month or so ago "cleaning and wax- ins:" crews beeran to make their rounds and waxed each floor. For this we are very grateful and we extend our thanks to those responsible for such action. However, When John Ray and his crew came to give Old East Dormi tory its second waxing of the year (March 13) they pulled some of the most loathsome acts that a man can do. They piled shoes, wastebaskets, and everything else not nailed down onto the beds. As a result a large number of sheets and pillow cases were soiled beyond use. Why this crew lacked the decency to at least put a newspaper under these articles instead of deliberately soiling the beds is a matter of speculation. We are of the opinion that they either are not acquainted with the proper functions of a bed or they just don't give a damn' about the property of other people. Perhaps to them it is a great and home-like sport to toss shoes and wastebaskets on beds. We think it is Mr. Bennett's duty to instruct these crews to be more careful and to stop this type of ac tion. As matters stand at the present the harm is greater than the good. Since the closets are not waxed at all the shoes and such can easily be put in there or at least a paper can be daced under them when they are A. piled on beds. We . urgently request Mr. Bennett to not only do this but to notify the dormitory managers be fore the crews are to come, to each dormitory. There are numerous people and or ganizations on this campus that sup posedly aid students. Here is a chance for them to operate. We request the help of Mr. Fred Weaver as Dean of Men, the Student Legislature as a representative student body, the Stu dent Welfare Board, the Inter-dormitory Council, THE DAILY TAR HEEL, and the Campus Party which recently included in its platform the improvement of janitorial service. Members of Old East JOE BYRD BEN COLLINS D. P. MOORE. JR. BEN SETZEB which brought UNC extra-curricular leadership to great and consis tent heights in the early 1940's. In those x years, well-established roads of experience led to qualifica tion for top campus posts. When a man ran for Legislature Speaker he had behind him two to three years experience in that croup. It was the same story with all other gov ernmental and publications candidates. The war necessarily interrupted that chain of experience, and many organizations suffered. Even this year there has been much recollecting about the days of former glory, much be moaning of the lack of. "giants" to lead extra-curriculars. Potential "giants" are still here, it is merely that they have been shoved into top posts' before they have fully grown in understanding of their duties. And that is why the big vote-fest slated for early May is so crucial. If those who turn the wheels behind the 'big wheels" use their power wise ly, all three parties will present well qualified candidates to the electorate. They will also have a strong smatter ing of young, lower-class candidates for secondary positions. In that way, the future leaders will be gaining the seasoning that is indispensable to ef ficient functioning of student govern ment, the Daily Tar Heel, Magazine and all the other groups to which as pirants will be nominated. I think it is a generally accepted and generally unspoken fact that too large a number of student vet erans take little interest in any thing besides getting along and getting a degree. If it is lamentable, it is also understandable. But even so, wise choice of candidates can return student activities to the system of succession through ex perience which proved so success ful in former eras. That is why the restraint bodes so well for the future. There is no rea son why a campus of 7,000 even with 2,000 uninterested veterans cannot What Do YOU Say? By Harry Snowden Today's Question What was your reaction to the April Fool's issue of the Daily Com rade? Answers I thought it was just as clever as it could be. I got a big laugh out of it. Mary Moulton, New Bern. I thought it was very good and contained a lot of irony. Rone Lowe, Wadesboro. The issue was very clever and I en joyed it immensely. Now we have given Congress an excuse to inves tigate UNC Ruth Anderson, Wins-ton-Salem. I really liked that April Fool fool ishness. It was very, clever. Bob Haire, Winston-Salem. I thoroughly enjoyed the issue. It was very original. J. M. Crews, Dur ham. To me the Daily Comrade was unique and original and I read all of it with genuine laughter and enjoy ment. Myrtle Westbrook, Raleigh. The April Fool issue seemed to be a little more radical tnan usual, per haps not too much so though. I got a big kick out of it. Dv W. Glas cock Durham. I got several kicks out of it, with out appreciating all its implications. That is, if I understood them all. Be ing a foreigner, I'm not sure I did. K. E..Tranoy, Oslo, Norway. Next Question How do you feel about the bill in Congress outlawing the Communist party in the United States? sponsibilities which must accompany freedom in any well-ordered. commun ity. This growing of "giants" demands scruplousness on the part of the poli ticians and requires a demand for supply some 200 capable and qualified such scrupulousness on the part of major and minor leaders. As with all tne voters. parties, power at the polls is still a consideration for the UP, SP and CP. If the leaders of these three groups add to this, power to fill the post on the part of each man and woman nominated, the renaissance so many have called for will be an accomplish ed fact. Wise and campus-spirited choice of nominees can give to student acti vities the new men to learn the ropes and the qualified men to teach the hard knots of experience which are part of those ropes. The electorate should demand such candidates from all parties. Ciiizen ship in the campus community has given all of us great freedoms. If we demand the records of candidates and examine them before voting, we will have carried out one of the basic re- Plaudits for the Publications Board: The men who sit about the PUBoard roundtable' deserve congra tulations for reinstituting the Publi cations Keys this year. Although the keys are reputed to bring less than a dollar in the local pawn-shop, their value as recognition for work well done is inestimable. Under wartime pressures, many of these "niceties" of extra-curricular life were abandoned. This move on the part of the Board is important in that it makes a mighty contribution to esprit-de-corps so vital to the Daily Tar Heel, Carolina Magazine and Yackety-Yack. Praise is just about all student activities have to give to their workers. The keys are a part of that praise.
