T H E -DAILY TAR HEE E ' SATUTwDAY, CciCBtR 1 Tm TP as No 'Sucking ih' There are ambiguities in Kerr Scott's state ment in which he charged that the Good Healths plan's major motive was to establish a medical school in Chapel Hill and that "all the rest of us were sucked in to serve this end." The, com missioner of agriculture tagged the Good flealth' program as a propaganda machine, stated that the advocated medical college here in Chapel Hill was only a measure to "keep up with the Joneses." The announcement by Scott was of such a nature that it amaze'd H. C. Cranford, Executive Director of the Good Health Program, since Scott had previously endorsed the Good Health plan. But Dr. I. G. Greer, president of the as sociation, seems to adequately disprove Scott's claims. A short section of his statement is re printed below: "Dr. John A. Ferrell, executive secretary of the. N. C. Medical Care Commission, has al ready, spoken for the commission, pointing out the building of the medical school is but one fea ture of the magnificent Good Health program. The bulk of both State and Federal funds ap propriated for the program will be used not for the medical school, but for financing the construction of . new general hospitals and the expansion of sUch existing facilities throughout the State. As Dr. Terrell Suggested, I think Mr. Scott should familiari2e himself with what is being done with these funds. - "As for the location of the medical school, I would like to emphasize . that the Good Health Association has never . advocated that it be put in Chapel Hill, or anywhere else. The location was left up to the Medical Care Commission, which relied on, the judgment of State, national, and international hospital experts." We think that Dr. Greer's explanation along with the assurance of a host of other important medical authorities in the , state is enough to negate Kerr's claims. However, until the medical school is establish ed on campus there will be many . accusations of this- nature. We must remember that at least ten powerful factions tried to bring the medical center to their community. The strongest group at this time is the Moses H. Cone Memorial hos pital " group irr Greensboro that wants to com bine the two programs ino one mammoth hos pital and medical, school. ' More People-- More Fraternities The enrollment here at the University has in creased from a pre-war maximum of 4,100 to a figure now exceeding 7,000 students. Although enrollment has almost doubled, there are ac tually fewer social fraternities, on the campus now than there were in pre-war times. Thus many of the 25 fraternities here( have larger ac tive rosters than ever before in their history. In the spring quarter, six of the 25 had over 100 members and many more approached that figure. In big sprawling fraternities such as these, there is little chance for the genuine fraternity spirit and real cooperation which they should have. The only relief for this situ ation is for the larger chapters to take in fewer men, but this would necessitate the dropping of many boys who wish to join a fraternity. One solution of this problem was voiced by Dean F. H. Weaver, who expressed the opinion that this campus could support more fraternities now than ever before. Dean Weaver said that already two chapters, dormant during the war, have been reactivated here at the university. He said that other national Greek societies had in quired about the possibility of opening a chapter here. : The Faculty Committee on Fraternities, of which Dean Weaver is a member, has voted to consider incoming chapters according to: (1) their national reputation; (2) their financial status; (3) the number and academic status of their prospective members; (4) the assurance of financial aid from their national headquarters; and (5) the prospects of obtaining a house and plans for financing the house. The Faculty Committee went on record as favoring the revival of old chapters before con sidering the - establishment of ' new .-. fraternities and that it would be desirable for a number of these old chapters to reactivate as soon as 'pos sible.. - - . 0 Although the fraternity question has many aspects, we think that a definite problem exists. The administration and . the students should combine their efforts to bring in new fraterni ties to relieve the tension of the ever-increasing enrollment.

Not only is Dr. Frank an excellent University administrator but he is a man who knows the world and what goes on in it. Both President Roosevelt and now Mr. Truman have discovered that Dr. Frank has a lot of interesting ideas on how to fix what's wrong with the world. Tomorrow the gentle, white-haired educator will be on his way to what may be one of his most important jobs of fixing. He'll diagnose with two foreign . diplomats what ails the Dutch and the Indonesians. It wOn's be an easy job but, as we said, it is an important one. Since it is as a representative of the United States as a part of the United Nations that Frank Graham goes to the Pacific, much rests on what he can accomplish. Just what can the United Nations do toward settling political disputes? Can nations bring peace by working together? If a good job by Dr. Frank means satisfactory answers "to these questions, then we're laying our money on peace in our time- and his. R.S. - By Russell G. Baldwin There are a lot of people at Chaple Hill and all over the United States who are alarm ingly .unconcerned by the ter rible imminence of another world war. If another war comes, and unless present trends are altered, it is inevitable, one of ' the chief contributing ; fac tors, will be the apathy .which now pervades America. It is not enough to applaud our leaders when they set up a United Na tions organization and sit back to watch it work. The UN will by cover our secret processes themselves. 4. Preparedness against atomic war is futile and, if attempted, will ruin the structure of our social order. 5. If war breaks out, atomic bombs wll be used, and they : will surely destroy our civiliza tion. 6. There is no solution to this problem except international control of atomic energy and, ultimately, the elimination of war. I wish you'd reread number 6 not - succeed through popular ; and think it over. "There is no approval; it will succeed only (.solution . . . except internation through popular support. j al control . . . " The language Why 'IkeJ Stays Mum and Modest The atomic bomb is not a toy. Biological warfare is not a harmless nightmare. Yet we Americans make little effort or pretense at doing something about them. We wait for some body, else to do something. The important part of that state ment is "We wait." We wait and do nothing and when de struction comes we will blame those "others" for not doing something. .Just give an excuse. As long as we can blame some body else we'll take hell and high water with little com plaining and - go right on hy pocritically thinking we're smart guys. Did you ever wonder why it is that the atomic scientists are more concerned than any body else about the atomic bomb and the necessity for world government? It's simple. The atomic scienists know a few vital facts that the average American either refuses to be lieve or to conerned about. Take a look at this statement by the Emergency Committee of : Atom- Robert S. Allen paid Durham a visit Thursday Lyle C. Wilson; manager for the United Press, in commemoration of National Newspaper stated that it would be bad for Eisenhower to Week, and like the typical newspaperman, he too express his aspirations; 'ipreskfeichilev'scientists .which' is headed -predicted that Gonejlake'' Eisenhowerwill be . he js still in ormw&uld, andjiere's .why. fby -Professor, tlbert Einstein ra-candidate for president come Weeelectiohf Tlfiera ' iype tTGiesshona& ' jealousy .-among' and Dr.' Harold Urey: Reporters and columnists have learned from the soldiers, and they like to think of each other These lew tacts are accepted is plain and there is no dodging it. A question which might le gitimately come to1 your mind is, "How are we going to secure international control?" and the answer to that question is just as plain and irrefutable. There can be only one answer world government. No matter what differences exist between nations of the world they are less im portant than the . problem of survival and must be considered so. But what about the UN? "You shall know them by their works." Look at the record. The UN can boast no major accom plishment when those so-called major accomplishments are con sidered alongside the accom plishments of the League of Nations and the actual problems which face the world today. At best it is too weak to be an ef fective means of guaranteeing world peace. If we really mean it when we say we want peace, we will hold out for a world government with adequate pow er to deal with international problems and ; we' will settle for nothing less. Dogs Know All About Fashion There is a collie that you see on Franklin Street every now and then. She has the "new look." This collie has a lone brown covering for her body. This cover is somewhat dirty hair which extends we would judge just about half an inch below this dog's knees. If you figure, the ratio, you will find that that corresponds to about two inches below the knee for human ladies who sometimes are about five feet four inches tall. All of which proves that Christian Dior, a rather pecul iar Parisian coutourier, did not originate the "new look." A collie here in Chapel Hill did it. But that- is of little import. From Seattle to Salisbury and from La Jolla to Lexington the new look" has caused com ment. Mill girls, have let out their gingham and carhops have sewed together their slacks legs. Rich dames have purchased garments with hems that look like slips with one strap broken. Some like slips with two staps broken. We can no longer ignore this important subject the "new look." It is economic and sex ual upheavels the world over. It is, we repeat, causing up heavels the world over. Even in the Carolina mag office. Of all places. And of all people, who upheaved the most? Jud Kinberg. Kinberg made some comment about how women had to have better look ing legs to wear the long skirts. It may be true but I can't see how it applies to that long hair ed collie. So if you can't understand how it applies to this story, don't feel bad because we're both confused about application and it doesn't. The point is this: there were two young men who had some thing to say about long skirts. Now these young men are sure ly as intrepid as even were Frank Buck or Clyde Beatty. Because when young men try to tell young women what they should do, it is like trying to chuck a tiger under the chin. These young men met in Ger rard Hall yesterday afternoon with others who didn't like the length of things. We don't know what happened exactly. However, since there has been no wild outcry, no blood run ning in the gutters, no arrival of the state police we can safe ly say that the coeds didn t march on the place in a body and massacre all those so bump tious as to suggest that some body might be able to tell a woman something. Carolina Carousel Greet the Team Back By R. Foo Giduz Myrt and the cheerleaders didn't quite make it down to Texas, as was presumprously re ported here earlier. . . . But they held a dang peppy pep rally Thursday evening. Really a fine sendoff for the team. Hence: Why not greet them back the same way tomorrow, win or lose??? Never will tor sret the rousing- roaring mid night welcomes a thousand-odd spirited students gave the fight ing Tar Heel footballers some five years ago when they re turned from a 5i-0 shellacking at the hands of the Tulane Green Wave in New Orleans. . . . It was a mighty cold night in October, and the bus was over an hour late. But when the team finally arrived, the crowd held a hefty cheer for each member as he got off the bus, and carried all of them back to the dormitories on their shoul ders. Fellas, that was really the Carolina spirit like we've never seen it before; and the team and Coach Ray Wolf really appre ciated it. Well, this weekend we're in pretty much the same posui.irt (in some ways). . . . Spirit is at its peak. The Tar Heels are Sugar Bowl bound again. They're playing one of the most crucial games in the nation to day, and no doubt the toughest tilt on their slate. Haven't heard of anyone who was planning to drive down 10 Austin, and only a doen or so who planned" to fly. So if the Tar Heels are lacking in grand stand support this afternoon, let's turn out tomorrow aher noon when they get buck oa the special busses from Raleigh Durham airpirt, and prove to 'em all that Tar Heel spirit is better than ever. WIN OR LOSE!!! How 'bout it Myrt and you other cheerleaders??.'? And while old Carousel is on THE topic of the season, a spe cial request to the powers-t hat be: How's about starting up the popular gridiron post-mortem movies again???

O. the Eisenhower case the newsmen figure him out for the latter. only as leaders in a military sense. It is hard for them to picture Eisenhower in the White House, and they are riot going to do so until they are forced to.

Chat Paterson, national chair man of the American Veterans Committee (AVC), today pledg ed full support of the World Warr II Veterans organization to the drive to eliminate food waste and to the Presidential food saving committee under the chairmanship of Charles Luckman. Paterson said that AVC chap ters were being called on to take the lead in setting up commu- r , 1 . cabinet n,ty rooU saving ar.ves to re inforce the national ettort. "The community food saving drives will be devoted to the elimination of food wastage by commercial establishments and housewives and will urge less consumption of important grain-using luxury products such as pastries and alcoholic beverages," Paterson said. "A nation-wide reduction in cake and pastry consumption will have an immediate appre ciable effect upon the consump-' tion of grains and sugar two precious food commodities," Paterson pointed out. "Reduced usage of alcoholic beverages would not be so im mediately felt at the distiller level but the possible savings of grains used for this luxury item are extremely large," he 111 auaeu. America cannot attord a Marie Antoinette attitude about starving people in other por tions of the world," Paterson said. "We cannot escape making our share of effort and sacrifices. Hungry people are suckers for totalitariansim. If we would see democracy thrive we must exert control and common sense," Paterson asserted. Dear Editor: It is encouraging to read in the Tar Heel such an editorial as LAWS AND WAYS AROUND THEM. When social questions are reaching high tide even in . the face of backwash from those who wish to con fuse basic issues, it becomes in creasingly important that new trends be kept in the public eye. As the race question takes on significance with regard to the principle of basic human rights, there will be less and less meaning in the arguments from economic and emotional of those whose motivation arises dents to the Medical school is Carolina to admit Negro stu prejudiccs. Let us hope that the time for not far off. The business of race separation in education grows constantly more expensive; whereas a co-education of races would serve to solve problems of social differentiation by the simple function of races' work ing together, as well as to lower expenditures necessary for sepa rate schools, and, in general, to face the issue pragmatically and consistently in the light of tra ditional American Democracy. Congratulations to the Tar Heel editorialists who help us keep our fingers on the pulse of the times and our eyes on sig nificant potentialities. Sincerely, Bill McGirt 306 McCauley St. (Editor's Note: Our editorial did not advocate co-education of races, it merely said, "It will be interesting to see if North Carolina .... admits Negro students or resorts to building a separate institution.") Dear Sir: ing. It has come to my attention that a most sad situation exists. The crossword puzzle appearing in The Daily Tar Heel arid the crossword puzzle appearing in The Charlotte News of the same date are one and the same. This, I feel, works an undue hardship on the crossword puzzle addicts attending this institution who like to read both of these fine papers. Unquestionably, some thing should be done about it. It is up to you as editor to find a speedy remedy for this deplorable situation. I am de pending on you in this matter.
