4fs Si Page Two THE DAILY TAB HEEL WEDNESDAY, APRIL 16, 1947 f i Itl U ; I il 6I i Clean for Spring Those many students objecting- o the way in which construc tion of temporary buildings is marring the beauty of the cam pus are among the many who realize and appreciate the great natural beauty that exists here. But, while the construction is for a good purpose and will con tinue despite protests from many, another menace to a clean, pretty campus exists. And this other menace can be combatted and eliminated. It consists of the ever-present empty cups and old papers strewn about the campus. Particularly at this time of the year, when the scenic beauty of our campus is beginning to blossom forth iii its prettiest dress, it is disheartening and distracting to notice the campus constantly littered with trash. The time has come to start a campus clean-up campaign. The hardest workers in this campaign must be the individual stu dents. They should make special efforts to deposit their empty cups and used papers in receptacles. It is a fact that our campus has become less clean in recent months. Warm weather natural ly brings out more people and these students congregate and loaf on the campus. They tend to discard various bits of junk on the spot, and these papers blow all over the campus. Then, too, we must not overlook the ever-present spring in fection that prompts students to walk on the green grass. An annual "Keep off the Grass" campaign has always been neces sary to keep students from walking on the grass. One of the simplest and prettiest attributes of a beautiful campus is that it be covered by green gress. Carolina has the grass, and it looks good if allowed to grow. " Therefore, it is not asking too much to ask a student to re frain from walking on the grass. By staying on the walks and ----- letting the grass grow, each student can contribute towards making the campus a prettier place. A few seconds of thought and consideration for the cleanli ness and appeal of our campus will help keep it clean and at tractive. A clean campus will add much to its natural beauty. Let's clean it up. On Losing Refuse While we're on the subject of a campus clean-up campaign, we would like to suggest also that the University set up addition al receptacles on the campus. At present, receptacles are few and far between, and students tend to throw refuse away rather than carry it with them. We feel that the University could place several receptacles about the grounds and build brick or cement containers in which to place them so that they will not look like eyesores. Then the receptacles could be removed and emptied daily, stu dents would have a place to throw empty cups without casting them on the ground, and a step towards a cleaner campus would be a reality. No great expense would be involved in building the permanent containers at various points and the receptacles could be obtained eaisly. It would be a simple move of lasting value. Eyes of Texas It is with a deprecating, albeit crimson blush of modesty that the DTti takes this space for a little early-morning crowing. The reason, thank you, is a full-length editorial in the Daily Tex an, our brother publication at the University of Texas, in praise of the DTH's April Fool issue of The Daily Comrade. The Texan singles out what it terms our "well-red" effect as the best of a flood of April capers by collegiate organs of the nation. Which proves to our satisfaction at least that the "red" in question is . e -rt tff y ft t - ........ spelled two ways. RCmCSCNTBD FO NATION At. ADVERTISING MV National Advertising Service, Inc.

A H9I1H 1 Council Advances Reasons For Initiation Clampdown (EdJs Note: The following is a statement from Bill Tate, chairman of the Men's Council, concerning the ban against public fraternity initiations, dis cussed yesterday on this page.) ' In order to clear up any questions which Mr. Eddie Allen or any other stu dents may have concerning the' recent action taken by the Interfraternity Council whereby it banned all public forms of initiation, I would like to make the following statement. Thic actmn was Tint the result of "It's Hoover's report on Germany. I'll read it if ya promise to muffle vour sobs." Strictly Detrimental .... Psychiatry Going to Growl of Victimized Dogs Dan By Jud Kinbrg "Slam the door, pal. Slam the door, sne's after me." It was Dan the Dog, slightly the worse for wear and tearing around, who had whipped into my office, upsetting a beer bottle which I place on the floor convenient to my right-no-type hand. He was shaking from his blue beret to tne tan-and-white Edmund Clapp shoes, truly a frightened figure nothing like his usual dapper Runyonesque self. "Dan. I haven't seen vou liks this$- since your candidate lost the Carr- boro election for dogcatcher. Pull yourself together, man. The sniff up per snout and all that sort of rot." - " : mi jaii. it, cuiumiusu Aiiere is some mad female bow-wow medic sniffing out my trail at this very time. That Jane is war for my brain." "Come now, Dan," 1 scoffed, "you make her sound like a dog psycholo gist." ' "You name it exactly, friend. This jane, as you would hear me say was you not six bottles under, is hot for my head. A few weeks ago I am per using, a copy of a magazine digest -the kind where they compress a four page article into eight pages for easy reading when what should I see but "Dogs Open Their Minds to Mrs. McKell Doctor to- Mental ly Sick Dogs. "Now this seems like a juicy rac ket to me, on account I; have a friend in New York who is recently turned psychologist and currently makes more dough than when he is tail ma chine gunner for Capone." "That explains why you haven't been up to write your columns these past weeks, eh?" "Exactly. I am making my way to the Doc's house some states distant in order to case the joint for a pos sible muscle-in. The first thing after I enter, I'm surrounded by excuse the expression dogs." "Mrs. McKell's patients?" "It ain't the fire-plug convention. One joker comes up and starts to sell me the black and red spots on the wall. Another one is making the red spots, knocking his head against the plaster because he feels so good when he stops. "I'm out there for about two min utes when a tall one in white grabs me with a half nelson and ushers me before a middle-aged humpty-dumpty dame. Before I can even bark, I'm in a chair with a spotlight. It's like the old days with the New York bulls. I try to explain my posi tion, but they are certain that they have hold of a maniac depressive it's really just the cigars I am smoking." "How did you get away, Dan?" "It is a long story revolving about one guard with an itchy palm I scratch it for him with my claws and I'm sprung. But, now there is a four state alarm out for me and just this hour I see this jane hotfooting up the main street. That's why I come to you, pal." I was about to stuff Dan into an unobtrusive empty beer bottle when a middle-aged spinster opened the door, looked about the places with a well-gimleted. eye "It's her, pal. I'm sunk. Your old pal is being railroaded to the booby hatch on a bum rap." The Dog Freud doesn't even look at Dan. She points, to me and says, "That's the hotair dale I'm looking for." So Dan will be taking the column ior tne next lew weeks until 1 can get off the leash and away from the woman who "Dogs Open Their Minds To." Ruff, ruff. Just call me Red- heart. What Do YOU Say? By Harry Snowden Today's Question What do you think the chances are of the United Nations being able to achieve a 'lasting peace and, if so able, by what means ? Answers Unless the member nations place the welfare of the world's peoples above 'national interests the United Nations cannot achieve any of the goals for which it was organized. Thano Cotsis, Chapel Hill. At present, the UN does not have power to carry out its decisions. Un less this power is obtained the UN will fail as did the League of Nations, and no peace came from the League. Gene Layman Jr., Charlotte. I believe a lasting peace is achieve able provided the present policy of international suspicion and distrust is replaced by a spirit of cooperation and understanding on the part of the countries of the world. Vic Seixas, Phila Pa. The United Nations can bring to the world the same peace that our United States brought to us, by the support of all the major nations, if not by all the nations of the world. Earl Fitzgerald, Pelham. Under the present circumstances the possibility of achieving a lasting peace is nil. It appears that none of the groups, especially the Russians, are willing to get together on major issues. Miles Smith, Salisbury. Success by the United Nations, can only be achieved by full cooperation and understanding of all those in volved. Until this status is reached and the underlying antagonisms of the leaders disolved success of the organi zation is impossible. Mary Louise Hasty, High Point.

The matter has been in the consideration of the Men's Council for some time now, and action was taken by the Interfraternity Council at the former's request since it was primarily a fraternity affair. A brief resume of the events bringing this on will, I believe, cause all doubts to be removed from any thoughtfu University of North Carolina studen fraternity member or not. Several weeks ago a fraternity required some of its pledges to ob tain a varied assortment of things on a "treasure hunt," among which were some articles that could be found onlv at the infirmary and medical school. Instead of seeking the proper authorities who, as has been demonstrated in the past, would be only too willing to coop erate, the students took matters in to their own hands and broke into both of the buildings, taking an ex posed X-ray plate and several ani mals used for experimental pur poses If those students had been shot entering or leaving the infir mary, no one could have been held responsible entering a building in which there are sleeping occupants is a capital offense in this state. .Only the fraternity which gave the instructions would have its con science to bother it. As for the animals taken, there was absolutely no way of knowing wheth er or not they had been innoculated with any one of a score of contageous diseases. Most fortunately, no epi demic nor any individual cases were started by this thoughtless action, but it could have been so different. Moreover, the animals taken were not ones involved in lengthy, costly ex periments, but it was only by chance. Years and years of extensive research could have been undone by this one thoughtless deed. The fact that a vio lation of the law was taking place didn't seem to matter either. Good, clean fun! Another incident, not so much a matter for the Honor Council as the Interfraternity Council, was the un timely game period that took place in "the Y court during the last con-j vocation! In the very midst of our 1 guest's speech a group of pledges en tertained a1 throng of students with its games of "leap frog," "drop the handkerchief," etc. At some other ime, : all right. But not during an hour when all students have been ex cused for the explicit purpose of at tending convocation. Aside from the noise created, numerous empty seats were seen throughout Memorial Hall. s that any way to treat an honored guest, to heighten our national repu- ation? There was no intentional wrongdoing just another thoughtless action." A similar episode took place after Rep. Kennedy's speech in Hill Hall "'when a group of pledges chose that time to jump a few actives in its ratenity and take them for a "ride." his playful action, too, is not to be condemned, in its rightful place. But Lis creating a mild riot when an in vited guest of our University is leav ing the scene of his speech the right time? Again, it was just thoughtless action. You all know from yesterday's article about the group of pledges entering the various women's dorms, spreading their sheets on the sofas and undressing (they had their pa jamas on beforehand). This wasn't taken as good, clean, harmless fun , by many, especially those who were still hostesses to some of the boys an hour after closing time. And would flash pictures taken of a boy putting on his pants over a pair of pajamas while in a girls dorm look so good to an outsider who didn't know the details? The whole series of events merely shows little thought and discretion on the part of fraternities in general. Many have been completely innocent of any questionable act at all, and are not to be condemned. In fact, the en tire action taken by the Interfrater nity Council was not to condemn but to make us see the light before it is too late before some real, definitely positive action is taken by that group which has been "tolerating" frater nities these past few years. JNo one would hate to see fraternities go from this campus any more than I would. But the events of the past month are foods to thrive upon for those wishing to do away with us, and they must stop. Responsibilities to the Univer sity and all the students as a whole come first, and any action making raternities realize this cannot be con demned.
