Deciding Vote
The right time to do the right thing is right now. And the
right thing today is to go to the polls and vote for those men you
desire to lead your student government next year.
The big three who can shape the campus future are you, the
individual student, and the two guys next to you. The student
body turned out in large numbers last week to vote for the men
who will lead them through next year. But last week's voting
was not enough. Runoffs have been scheduled for practically
every major office. Unless every student who voted last week
turns out and votes again today, they may awake tomorrow to
find that the wrong man is in office. Government by the majority
is the best campus government.
It's up to the students to decide. Recent mud slinging has
reached a new and dirty high in campus politics. Whether or
not such activity will receive its just reward will also be shown
in today's election. It might be well to remember that people who
sling mud lose ground.
But in the final reckoning, the students' vote will be the sole
deciding factor. Your future student government lies in your
hands. Elect the men you want. Vote To Day! Ignore party
lines and malicious rumors. Vote for the qualified candidate.
You are electing your leaders.
Tragic Evidence
No words can express the dire need on this campus for safe,
cautious driving. Far more compelling and impressive is the sad
story of weekend accidents involving students on this campus.
The Daily Tar Heel has appealed in the nast for more cautious
handling of automobiles by students on and off our crowded
- campus. Fortunately, the University has been extremely lucky
. as far as serious accidents were concerned throughout the year.
But the string ran out over the weekend and struck home with
' tragic suddenness. The University has suffered a great loss. The
homes of the students who were killed are shrouded with sad
ness, and their many friends find it almost impossible to be
lieve. Automobile accidents wreck lives and. homes and create hor
rible, non-erasable memories. Even the safest drivers are not
always safe on the highway, but the more caution exercised by
student drivers, the safer our roads will be.
We can only deeply regret the tragedy of the past weekend.
We can work to prevent its happening again in the future to
save future lives.

Are CommunistsUn- American?
Are Communists un-American? A real live Communist will
attempt to answer that question tonight at 8 :30 in Gerrard hall.
At the risk of bringing down another deluge of conservative
criticism on our harried heads, the DTH urges all interested
students to attend the address tonight by Miss Elizabeth Gur
ley Flynn, women's division chairman of the Communist party.
Although we cannot endorse what Miss Flynn stands for,
we can recommend listening to her. Why not go to the speech and
see what Miss Fynn has to say for her orgainzation. At worst,
it can be educational.
A Look magazine photographer had little trouble substan
tiating his belief that all the pretty girls in Los Angeles are
not in the movies. He found much uncontracted movie mate
rial on the Southern California campus, but as he loaded his
camera backward for the third time, he confessed, "All these
beautiful girls make me so nervous."

The question:
"Are students gullible enough to
be hoodwinked by smear tactics, or
are they going to vote down the
Bilbo-Talmadge-Hearst campaign in
asserting their own intelligence?"
President Dewey Dorsett has spok
en against the curve-balling habits of
the mud-slingers. His sentiments have
been voiced by the Daily Tar Heel, are
now being re-echoed.
Publications Board Bob Morrison, a
U. P. candidate, has joined the throng
against the tactics which have be
smeared the reputation of UNC.
In reflecting upon this reputation,
it might be appropriate to add that
while many may bemoan the presence
of a Communist on campus although
recognizing the freedom of speech
which brings her here, they realize
too that her presence is within the
boundaries of legitimate exercise of
free speech. Detrimental mud-slingfng
is not. .
There is one way for removal of
this potential stain. It is through
active voter participation in today's
runoff. Ballots cast on merit of stu
dent candidates as were done in the
initial ejection will open the eyes
of myopic muddy men.
Their campaign has been an insult
to campus intelligence! 'Nuff said.

'The Rivals' Provides Many
Hearty Laughs for Audience
By R. Haskell Hamilton
The three performances of Sheridan's "The Rivals" hardly seemed enough
to satisfy the demands of the entertainment seekers who witnessed the
Laboratory Theater productions in Graham Memorial over the weekend.
This is the group which gets my vote for having brought good theater fare
to the campus more consistently than any other UNC organization.
The presentation of the Rivals in the intimate surroundings of the
Union, coupled with the freshness, vitality and skill of the players was
the motivating factor in the frequent applause, hardy laughs and genuine
ntrmfnsm ohnwn At the comnletion W
of each of the three performances.
In addition to the group awards to
Suzanne Davis and the technical crew
of the Carolina Playmaker's Labor
atory Theater, individual accolades
should be given to Frederick Johnson
for his nimble and natural interpre
tation of the difficult role of "Cap
tain Jack Absolute." The verbal tiffs
between Johnson and Edsel Hughes as
his father, "Sir Anthony Absolute"
were sheer comedy delight. Jim War
ren's likeable, animated and robust
characterization of Bob Acres was
primarily responsible for creating the
delicacy between a country lout and
an earthy but not too bright country
squire.
Eleanor Ringer ,in the famous role
of "Mrs. Malaprop" turned in a more
than creditable performance, as she
brought repeated laughs to the audi
ence with her jby now familiar mala
propisms. Pat Palmer's "Lydia Lan
guish" was better than acceptable, but
not quite as polished as demands the
part of the lovely, plotting young lady.
The only general fault with the
entire production was a general ten
dency to hurry through the roles as
quickly as possible. So much so that
the members of the company fre
quently gave an impression of try
ing to talk faster than the late
Floyd Gibbons, with about 20 of
the lines being intelligible and the
remaining 80 completely unfath
omable. I'm still trying to figure
out most of the lines of Henrietta
Cooper as Julia Melville, and trying
as hard as I can to forget the com
plete misinterpretation of the role
of Faulkland as played by Murray
McCain.
Other talented members of the cast
included: Frank Echols, Harry Thom
as, Maude Baynor Foy, Marty Jacobs
and William Sessions.

Disgust and Amusement
Dear Sir:
With mixed disillusionment, dis
gust, and amusement I have read two
issues of the U. P. News. With dis
illusionment because I had thought
the U. P. leaders more intelligent
than to resort to unwarranted name-
calling and unfounded accusations in
tne hopes ot drawing a lew more
votes in a college election; with dis
gust at the paper's appeal to anything
but reason; with amusement because
the paper might have been funny had
it not been so promiscuously vulgar.
I voted for several U. P. men in the
late elections and should have done
so again in the run-off had I not read
the journal representing the mental
workings of responsible U. P. work
ers. I hope every interested person
will procure a copy of the U. P. News
(preferably May 9th edition), read
it thoroughly and thoughtfully, and
follow his own conclusions.
Signed,
AL WINN
There was a time when shrewd,
likeable Jimmy Byrnes would not
have sat down comfortably with
General Marshall. The discomfiture
started more than one year ago
when Byrnes came back from his
own mission to Moscow after a
failure no worse than Marshall's
and was welcomed by a barrage of
criticism from some of President
Truman's immediate staff. Several
of them, led by Admiral Leahy,
urged Truman to drop Byrnes and
replace him with General Marshall
as Secretary of State. In fact a
k message was sent to Marshall, then
in China, on a secret War Depart
ment code so that it would not be
seen by the State Department, ask
ing Marshall to be available.
Premature pubicity, however, help
ed upset this plan. But even the good
natured Jimmy rankled at these ma
neuvers though he never blamed
Marshall for them. As a sort of token
of friendship, however, and in order
to compare notes on Russia, both men
sat down last week and broke bread
together.
PROGRAM FOR GREECE
Now that President Truman has
been voted his money for Greece and
Turkey, he faces the all-important
question of exactly how he will spend
it. Upon this largely depend two
things:
1. Whether we have peace or war
with Russia.
2. Whether Harry Truman is re
elected President of the United
States.
Regarding the less important of
these two points, it is interesting to
note that the quarter billion dollars
we are giving Greece will run out one
year from now, just as the 1948 poli
tical campaign is getting hot. And if
Harry Truman has to come back to
the taxpayer at that time and ask for
more dough for Greece, then you can
write it down as definite that he will
be a one-shot president.
If, on the other hand, the Greek
a j a tl .1
program is a success, tne so-cauea
Truman doctrine may go down in his
tory. And what's far more important,
the peace of the world may be ma
terially stabilized.
After World War I, this writer
spent two years in and out of Greece
on Balkan reconstruction work, so
perhaps knows a little of the difficult
problem the United States faces in
rebuilding this hectic corner of the
world. Based on this experience, it is
my belief that if any one nation is
qualified to help lift Greece from its
present imbroglio -ef strife and cor
ruption, it is the United States. And
even though my Republican friends
may suspect me of trying to help re
elect Harry Truman, here are some
of my own ideas on how Harry can
spend our money so as to get 100 cents
is a vote for impartial and progressive
campus publications.
TOM MCDADE
JUNIUS SCALES
HENRY SAUNDERS
J. HODSON
out of each of our 250,000,000 Greek
relief dollars:
1. Use the King of Gieece as Mac
Arthur has used the Emperor of Ja
pan. Let the King write the decrees,
but let the United States guide his
pen and guide it most carefully.
2. Forget the State Department's
mid-Victorian idea that we are not
going to interfere with the sover
eignty of the Greek Government,
and instead lead the Greek Govern
mentby the nose, through the
King almost every step of the
way. Otherwise we will be up to
our necks in the crookedest, smell
iest dictatorship that ever fouled
the dictator-polluted Balkans.
3. Don't waste money on the Greek
army. They don't need any more wea
pons of hate with which to kill civil
ians. And they can't bring the guer
rillas down from the hills, even with
more weapons.
4. Grant immediate amnesty to all
political prisoners and exiles with an
American guarantee behind it. This
American guarantee should attract all
the rebels down from the hills, ex
cept the Communists who are rela
tively small in number.
5. Use most of the American cash
to rebuild the key porta of Salonika,
Piraeus, and the railroad bridges. This
will both give employment and get
the trade of Greece back on its feet
If this can be done in a single year,
private banks or the World Bank can
go in the second year with ordinary
business loans to finance the rest of
Greek reconstruction.
If, on the other hand, U. S. dollars
are squandered on arms, plus goods
which only bolster the ruling Royal
ists and eventually reach the black
market, then Greece will be back ask
ing for more dough one year hence.
6. Make " sure the British forego
their previous nrivate loans to
Greece. British bankers, charging in
terest at around fifteen per cent, for
merly drained a heavy portion of the
Greek budget.
7. Ask the United Nations to ap
point observers to work with us and
report back to the UN on every
thing we do. This should partially
offset the slap in the face we gave
the United Nations by going ahead
with Greek aid independently. It
should also prepare for eventual
taking over by the UN.
8. Finally, . appoint through the
King a naw coalition cabinet rep
resenting all political factions except
the Communists and Fascists. The
Fascists who collaborated with the
Germans and who are now represent
ed in the cabinet, must be punished.
A Democratic, middle-of-the-road cab
inet is the -only hope to lift the one
time cradle of democracy out of its
present slough of anti-democracy.

To the Editor:
In view of the $77,000 which the

body to consider carefully the quali

Of the candidates for the Senior
member of the Board we would like
to call attention to two pertinent facts
about Roland "Foo" Giduz.
l. Koiana was one ot .the major
reasons why The Daily Tar Heel was
awarded an All-American Superior
honor rating 'by the Associated Col

the last year his four to six hours
of daily hard work, and his conscien
tious, unbiased presentation of cam
pus issues have contributed greatly
toward giving the campus a first-rate,
nationally recognized newspaper.
2. Roland has had more Daily Tar

other candidates. He has served on
every editorial staff of the paper since
1942 writing news, sports, features
