THE DAILY TAR HEEL
FRIDAY, MAY 2, 1947
AH for Seniors
There comes a time in the life of every college senior when
he must doff his cap and gown and pass forever from the scene
of his higher education in the role of a student.
Graduation day is always tinged with varying amounts of
sadness, regardless whether or not a person be a sentimentalist
or a cold:hearted realist. Even the most ardent critics of this
University finally find themselves a little reluctant when the
time comes for them to graduate.
And even-the most unsentimental members of the senior
class willingly admit they have developed many close friend
ships at Carolina which they hope will last into the future. This
June will see the end of these friendships on a daily basis, even
though they continue everlasting after graduation by means of
correspondence and visits.
All of which is good reason for every senior to take advantage
of senior .week next week to get together with and meet his or
her classmates in their final big "fling" before graduation.
Under the guidance of the senior class executive committee, a
big senior week program full of fun and friendship has been
planned.
Wednesday, will be "Barefoot Day" and will feature the
"saddle shoe. stompV in the evening an evening of music and
informal dancing in the Y court. Even the. YMC A fountain will
be open to provide drinks for the dancers.
Thursday, night .will be the occasion for the annual senior
class hanquet in the. Carolina Inn. This will give the seniors
their final chance to assemble socially before graduation. Tickets
are -now on sale and should be purchased before it is too late;
Friday night - will feature the junior-senior semi-formal
dance with music by the Duke Ambassadors. Membership.
cards for ,the ;dance are also on sale daily in the Y.
Three days of next week will be set aside for the benefit of
graduating seniors. These seniors will have their last chance
to meet and know one another, better before entering the much-talked-afcput
outside world We urge all of them to take advan
tage othe opportunity offered by next week's special senior
week .program. It .will be something to. remember in years to

Unity Called

The apparently victorious conclu
sion of the late war, coupled with the
advent of Atomic Energy, has
brought the world. into a position
which is without parallel in the re
corded history of man.
In the near future it may be possi
ble for the first time for realists to
join with idealists in bringing to frui
tion the ever-budding promise of the
democratic ideal. ' Once the Russian
problem is solved, there will be no
further external barrier to our goal
of making real justice appear where
we now have but relative justice.
The ideals of the French Revolu
tion were thwarted by the combined
reaction of a fearful, hostile world.
The ideals of Wilson died under the
onslaughts of a fearful,, selfish
world and an unthinking . homeland.
The ideals of Jefferson were forced
into less desirable patterns under

Campus Crime
It seems a shame that, what with so many so-called mature
politicians and 'their mature followers running, for, campus.,
offices, they seem intent on carrying on the immature acts of
tearing down campaign posters.
It is becoming increasingly difficult to keep a. poster up for
any length of time: Someone is always tearing one. down to
make room for another. We are not that crowded for public
space on this campus.
Besides, such vandalism is an offense against the campus
code and we urge anyone seeing such action to report the of
fender. While it may seem like a joke to many, this vandalism is
a campus crime. As such, it should be punished.
Another Feather
Through the passage of time as the Daily Tar Heel has come
down through the years it has receivevd numerous awards and
prizes for service and high standards that have justified its high
standing among collegiate dailies throughout our nation.
Therefore, it gave us grea pleasure to see that the Bureau of
Naval Personnel has awarded a certificate of achievement to
the Tar Heel for outstanding service to naval personnel during
the second world war.
Credit for receiving the award is due the small group of men
and women, who staffed this newspaper through the crucial
war period' when it went from a daily, to a weekly publication.
Their work and honest efforts have earned for the DTH another
feather in its publications' cap. We hope that in years to come,
this newspaper plumage may continue to grow.
great to be overwhelmed by our na-
I tive reactionaries, provided5 we lib
erals do not allow ourselves to . re

to the divide-and-conauer tactics of
our neo-fascists and ultra conserva
tives.
A - step in the direction of . liberal
unity has been taken on this campus
for pxamnle with the formation of a
local chapter of 'Americans for Demo
cratic Action.
We must prepare now for the
fast approaching time when the on
ly significant opposition to real de
mocracy will be found right in this
country. We should now support the
enactment of laws which tend to
promote equality of opportunity for
all. We should fight the enactment
of laws tending to restrict or crip
ple the rights of man.

Danzigerite Gets Lowdown
On Drama- Modern Version
By Tookie Hodgson
One bright, sunny day last week, I had. a .peculiar urge to acquaint myself
with what is known to' the denisons of Danziger's, as ' the "Drama." Being
a man of impulse, I immediately" set out towards the local patisserie in the
hope of encountering- some oi the local thespians, and acquainting myself
with their views on "ars gratia artis." '

Story by Dick Seaver
Dick Seaver, senior from Thomp

Winning 'short story "appearingn the left'leg As -I ? always" have said) 'One
Mr. O'Leary spoke first. "Yes,
my friends, the drama at Chapel
Hill is at a low ebb. Why, last
night, when we presented MKum
quattugooga," an Asiatic folk
play, with the dialogue in the
original Mongolian, only seven
people showed up! To add insult
to injury, five of the seven were
taxi drivers out looking for Pastor
Jones, while the other two were
R. Haskell Hamilton and his sec
retary! I'll tell you here and now,
something must be done."
Histrionicus' announcement shocked
his friends. Mr. Snode's monocle fell
from his. eye, while Miss Fidelio, all
aflutter, bit her cigarette holder in
two. Finally H. Laughinghpuse Snode
recovered himself sufficiently to
speak.
"The trouble, my dear Histrionicus,"
quoth he, "is that your plays are
much too obvious. Why hell, EVERY
BODY; can understand . what you're
trying to put across. Now what WE
do down at the Carolina Mag "
But Mr. Snode's expose of artistic
literary endeavor was abruptly cut
off as his charming companion, the
lovely Petunia, began to speak HER
mind.
"Your stuff lacks guts, Histrionicus"
began Miss Fidelio. "You got to be
tough on the stage. Take my plays
for - instance. I include at least one
throat-cutting per scene. Sometimes,
I hang my heroes, sometimes I has
them boiled in oil. Right now, I'm
working on a little cremation scene
that's"
. At this point, M. Snode took
refuge on a nearby chandelier.
Everybody thought he looked like
an African Edgar Allan Poe, when
they saw him perched quiveringly
on the swaying chandelier. It was
apparent that Mr." Snode's aes
thetic soul had been done a grave
injury.
"Ah, Petunia!" exclaimed Hon.
Histrionicus. "Another weakling, gone
astray. It reminds me of the time
that I was successfully portraying an
elm tree in Eugene O'Neill's play,
'Desire Under the -Elms.' Right after
the second act some drunk tried : to
chop me down with4 an axe, but I

tors." "Will the audience like I such a
drama, Miss Fidelia?" quavered. H.
Laughingham Snode from his chan
delier. "Fool," replied Petunia, "there will
be NO audience!"
"What, pray, will be the name of
this highly effective epic drama?"
asked Hon. Histrionicus, a demitasse
poised delicately before his lips.
"The Spirit of the Theatre," majes
tically responded Petunia.
"The theatre," echoed' the Danzig
erites, downing their Hot Vienneses
like the men they were.
"The theatre," murmured. Mr.
Snode, adjusting his monocle.
- "The theatre," I cried, heading, for
the Pick, where Roy Rogers was cur
rently appearing in "Six-Gun Saga."

About Spirit
Dear Sir:
Finishing my last lab period at ap
proximately twilight, I hustled to my
room to prepare for the evening. It
took' me no great time, my thirst
drive naturally . being the strongest,
to dress and he up town.' Af ter.paying
my respects, .to Car Marx .at his Cha
teau, I sauntered into Jeff's, where
the elite and the baseball team gath-
er. it was tnere 1 tnat i met uan, tne
Dog. Dan, accompanied by a - French'
poodle from the Canine Corps, was in
a -very' dejected mood :as hie mustered
a bottle of "Arf and Arf.V Apologizing
for an -abrupt intrusion, I asked -the
wise old dog the reason for his vapour.
"John," he said; "I have been a part
of Carolina for almost a decade.. I have
seen, the years and the students come
and go, and I have worked hard to
keep -;U.N.C. foremost in the nation.
But John, it has been in .vain. You see,
there is no more school spirit at Car
olina. Literally, it has; gone to the
dogs, and we don't want it. John, it's
the end. I'm through. I have a very
good offer from the Education" De
partment at Duke, and I have decided
to take it."
Seeing that Dan was in earnest, I
quickly put forth this question.
"Dan isn't there some way we can
arouse the school spirit that Carolina
is famous for?"
"There is only one way, and that is
by electing Grey Adams as head
cheerleader. I've known the lad for
years, and he has got the stuff it
takes. With his showmanship, talent,
constitution, and truthfulness, he
would make every student proud of
the White and Blue. He is our only
hope. Our only hope."
With that, Dan broke down com
pletely, and I left to avert embarrass
ment. Grey Adams for head cheer
leader? It sounded pretty good. I felt
a lot better for there was still hope
for Carolina. Grey Adam for head
cheerleader. I saw it. Do you?
