Education Cures
In an address to the National Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People last Sunday, President Truman sounded
a note that harmonized in-the gathering, but as the strains of
the note drifted it sounded in discord. He declared that he was
going to do all in his power to wipe out racial discrimination.
To hisimmediate audience, it was received with a longing
hope for the actual practice. To the land of the "half and half"
it was heard as an idealistic thought that' seems "at least one
generation removed a theory that involves months, years,
-and even generations to perfect.
It takes more than just passing legislation and word phras
ing to make all men have equal advantage and respect in the com
munity. The printed text of our constitution rings out against
- discrimination and yet it is far from reality.
. The real method to end racial discrimination rest's in educa--tion.
And when we -speak of education we do not mean the edu
cation of the. Negroes alone. Both the Whites and the Negroes
must Jbe educated. All must be indoctrinated to live and work
in the same community.
.... A - .. ,
' Whites must be educated to realize that there should be com
pensation for the man who strives to excel in his work no mat
ter what his color might be. The Negro must be educated to
.make him want to better himself and realize that he wants more
than just an existence. He must steer clear of any notions con
cering inter-marriage.
It will be a slow process. But the crow could not get himself
a drink of water by turning over the pitcher. All of the water
would have been overturned and would have seeped into the
; ground out of reach and his throat would still.be parched.
He had to place pebble after pebble into the pitcher so that
; the water would rise high enough for him to drink.
Y Everyone must join in and keep placing pebbles into the
, pitcher so that the water will rise to a level that will be within
reach for all to drink.
Win Yourself A Car
If a project now being conducted by the Assembly of the
Philanthropic Literary Society is enthusiastically supported by
the student body, not only will some student win a 1947 4-door'
Kaiser, but the historic Phi art collection will be fully restored
and Phi Chamber, the cradle of the honor system and student
government, will be supplied with carpets and desks as it was
before World War I. 1
The need for a beautiful Phi Chamber is great, for Phi in
. recent years has opened its doors to the citizens of the Uni
.versity, offering them a place to discuss their problems formal
ly and to perfect forensic skills. The J?hi portrait collection, form
ing together with the Di collection one of the best known por
trait collections in the nation, has suffered for lack of mainten
ance. The Phi portraits are of former students of the Univer-
sity societies who have become prominent.
The Phi has anounced that anyone may donate any amount,
and each dollar donated a receipt will be given, the stub of
which entitle the owner to a opportunity to win the 1947 Kaiser
eedan. ,
The project will be raising funds for a worthy purpose. The
DTH hopes that enough will be raised fully to redecorate the
Phi Chamber, and restore the art collection. The Interdormi
tory Council has also considered a similar project to raise funds
for a club house for dormitory men this project, too, is worthy,
but we feel that the Interdormitory Council was wise in post
poning their project until it is learned that the Phi has met with
success. R.M.

Delegate Finds Challange and Call to Duty
As Collegiate Group Meets at U. N. Sessions
- y " ' By . Lincoln Shiao Kan
A few weeks ago, this writer at
tended the National Collegiate
Council on the United Nations in
New York. My mission was to dis
cover how we in Chapel Hill could
contribute our small bit to the
United Nations.
Any doubt that I might have
had as to the importance of this
conference was immediately dis
pelled, when I was greeted by the
delegate from University of Mary
land, and in turn, introduced from
Wellesley college. (Incidentally,
very lovely.) The whole nation
was represented, including a
young lady of 16 from Sheboygan,
- Wisconsin, who was the national
high school winner of the Ameri
can Association on the United Na
tions information contest. To every-,
one at the conference this girl,
named Beatrice Hauser, was a con
stant reminder that we had a duty
and a challenge to perform.
At Security Council
During a visit to the Security
Council meeting, we heard a ring
ing defense of freedom by . the
Australian delegate. The. subject
of discussion was the draft from
the Military Staff committee. On

What Is The Honor System?
It recently has come to the attention of the Honor Councils
that there is considerable confusion on the part, of several new
students here at Carolina for the summer as to just what our
Honor System is and means. This is also true for many of the
old students who failed to go through proper orientation when
they entered and for perhaps an even greater number who once
knew but have just forgotten.
The Men's Council cannot personally reach each one of you, but
by reprinting the following and asking that every student new
and old seriously read it, its members hope that many questions
wjll be cleared up and that the present lax attitude on the part of
many of our students will be replaced by something closer re
sembling that "old". Carolina, spirit once so famous.
... . . . -
Carolina's Spirit of Living
(Prepared by the Student Council of 198-39)
The principles upon which Carolina student government is
based are a way of living. As the creed of University life, it
stands for the individual assumption of an active policy of
honesty and fairness, of gentlemanly conduct. So keenly is
this spirit felt that it has become a social as well as personal
responsibility. We Carolina students have pledged never to
lower our standard of honor, and we have set up from among
our numben a Student Council (now Men's and Women's Coun
cils) to whom we send those who do not respect our self-imposed
code of life. '
To think and act the truth is the heart of our way of y life.
The Honor Principle states t-A student is on his honor not to
lie, cheat, or steal; this is a personal, living principle by which
we strive to live, and its practice is its own reward.
A second self-imposed and self-mantained standard in our
University life is the Campus Code. Simply stated it is: A
student is on his honor always tq conduct himself as a gentle
man; Listing no offences, it leaves its interpretation broadly
to the student and relies upon Carolina's long-standing tradi
tions to mark the channel, ,
The Honor System can be, and is, easily perverted in the
minds of many people. The idea that reporting aji offender is
spying and tattling, is a relic of childhood when reporting to an
external authority was to "break faith with the gang." Here at
Carolina, the authority is self-imposed. We report to an in
ternal authority, to fellows whom we elect to do our bidding.
With this change of circumstances, not to report is to "break
faith with the gang" in a larger and more important sense. We
accept the fact that we have entered a new life in a self -determining
democratic society where we have responsibilities
both to ourselves and to our fellowmen. To retain the freedom
which we now know on this campus, to help ourselves and our
fellows learn and live honestly, to maintain our self-imposed
standards, we must at all times act promptly to prevent and
correct violations of this trust.
Tuition Going Up Elsewhere;
But it 's Status Quo at'UNC
By Edward Oka '
Tuition is not going up.
Anyway not for the average undergraduate student of the University of
North Carolina. For despite the fact that the cost of operations has in
creased more than 90 tn the past six years, and is still in the process of
rising, Chapel Hill administrators are not contemplating any higher gen
eral tuition fees for the coming school
year.

try that they built for posterity.
the motion that this draft be de
bated in open, rather than closed
session, there was general ' agree
ment from everyone but Russia and
her satellite. The delegate from
Australia had these inspired words:
"the question should be discussed
in the light of. day, subject to the
scrutiny and examination of the
world." To this writer the impres
sion was left that there are other
peoples who desire freedom of .press
and information besides ourselves.
Chester "Williams, a member of
the United . States mission to the
U. N. wakened the fatigued and
sleepy college delegates one morn
ing with thse startling words
. . idealists are trouble-makers,
they try to 'make 'think pieces' of
the world . . ." Everyone bent for
ward to listen as Mr. Williams
continued ". . . the United Nations
is the best facility we have to keep
civilization progressing ... we are
not building one world, God has
already created the one world . .
our problem is to adjust to that
one world ,
it
"It is harder to win the peace
because -it is less glamorous than
winning a war," were the opening
words of Mrs. Franklin Roosevelt,
who spoke to the conference. She
emphasized the fact that "day by
day in your community, in your
own work you are building the
peace of the world. If your com
munity is a good community, it
will build that peace." Her reason
for the past war was expressed in
these words: "This war came from
the abrogation of Human Rights
. . . writing an International Bill
of Rights is no easy job,, because
of D5 nations with different cus
toms, religions and languages,
different definitions of the same
words ..."
Mrs. Roosevelt Impressive
We were much impressed with
Mrs. Roosevelt's final words which
were, "the older people of the
United Nations always have the
fear that it will go the way of the
League of Nations, and it is from
the enthusiasm of the young people
who work' for the United Nations
and from the young peoples' sup
port, that the United Nations will
be made to work." The realization
came to us that, despite all her
troubles and" her years, she still
maintained her charm, spirit, and
progressive thoughts.
No amount of criticism can rob
Mrs. Roosevelt of her stature as a
great woman. An interesting and
encouraging incident concerning
her came a few .days later. The col- '
lege representatives were lunching
in the United Nations cafeteria,
when our former First 'Lady
walked to the serving line, picked
up a tray, and proceeded to get her
meal. In no other nation besides
the United States could this have
happened. The dignitaries of other
states would not have dined with
the people, but instead would have
been flanked by guards and served
in private stateliness. To us, it.
was real-life democracy in action.

Fuming, Viewing
Virile Veterans
By Bob Sain
"I'm jiss gittin dawgone tarred uv
it. Thet's awl."
That is what Homer Fudway said
to me just the other day. Homer is
a very freshman. He doesn't know
what's funny about the Confederate
soldier's gun, nor how to pronounce
arboretum. Also, he is tremendously
impressed by the lazy young men
who sit on f rat house verandahs.
He is such a freshman! Just the
other day I saw him try to blow a
head off a glass of Viennese cottee
at Danziger's.
But getting back to what he was
tarred uv.
"I'm jiss sick uv all this to-do
about veterans. .
We were in a rather exposed posi-
tion at the soda lountam in, tne
Y" so I looked around to see it
anyone had heard him. This was trea
son! He would really be jtarred if
anybody heard him and 'probably
feathered. "We were in luck; no one
had heard". The girl behind thejeounter
was flirting with a guy down at the
other end and the counter-boys were
sy polishing the counter's metal
portions while half-a-dozen custom
ers waited. Anyway, no one heard
him.
Trenchbound
I grabbed his arm, and not pant
ing to miss what he had to say, led
him to a" newly-dug trench in front
of the library where we could talk
in private.
He climbed down into the trench,
scraping his shoes' in the mud. "Jiss
ak home," he said.
We sat down and then I whispered,
"Now what's this about veterans?
Arid be careful what you say. Not
oo loud."
He looked about carefully and
then said, quietly, "I'm juss tarred
uv 'em . Whut I mean," he continued,
"is that evuhtime I tunn aroun'
somebuddy is askin me if I'm a vet
and wheah I suwed an J jiss tell
'em I ain't an they look at me lahk
I'm frum Dook, or somethin."
I could see his point.
"Well, you have to remember,
Homer, that it is the way of the
times.. Veterans," I said, "are the
salt of the earth." I said that and
casually flashed my discharge card
under his nose.
Mammy Loves Him
And he answered, "I know but
whut am I ? I ain't a vet and still my
mammy loves me and sends me boxes
of cookies and candy and sometimes
Pap will send me a five-dollar bill
when the crop is good. Yeah, I reckon
vets are, okay but so am I an I den't
lahk to be left out uv things."
Now we had reached the heart of
the - thing. Homer felt slighted.
"Homer," I said in my best sym
pathetic voice, "nobody is condemning
jyou because you didn't get drafted."
"I know," he said, "they ain't no
body actually sayin nothing to me
because I ain't one, but you can telL
I mean the girls frisk me fer a dis
charge card when I ask fer a date
and nobody will tawk with me cause
they think I'm not very smaht."
What could I say ?
"Look," I said. "I know just how
you feel and maybe you're right.
Maybe people do act that way. But
there's nothing you can do about it'
