.TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1947 THE DAILY TAR HEEL PAGE TWO Now It Will Be Blind Man's Bluff In the past when anyone mentioned the University of Texas to us we immediately thought of the big, broad-minded Daily Texan and the Texas which Henry Wallace in an address here last spring described as making a bid for North Carolina's reputation of being the most liberal of the southern states. We now call Wallace's hand and point out the latest movement by the Uni versity of Texas administration forbidding any avowed Communist the right to express himself on the campus. The administration's decree came after a discussion group in vited, with the administration's consent, a , member of the Communist party to partici pate in a meeting. The Texas administration used little forethought in reaching such a decision, and only enlarged the fold for more Com munist sympathizers rather than steriliz ing the agar of Communist culture. . By their decision they turned their backs to the fact that there are Communists who do not claim the ownership of a membership card in the party, and with decrees such as the Texas one there will be more of these individuals. The American Communists are living from - hand to mouth and if they are made martyrs it makes them feel that their cause is all the more urgent. J. Edgar Hoover, head of the FBI, summed it all up when last March he took a stand against the proposed out lawing of the Communist party and ad vised our government against taking "any course which would give the Communist cause to portray and pity themselves as martyrs." Another fact the Texas administration forgot to consider, according to the Daily Texan, was the psychological effect. Their " 'forbidding' an open discussion is a posi tive way of cloaking that discussion with a mysteriousness which will attract many students who want to find out what the deep, dark secret is all about." The decision by the Texas administration was not a smart move. From now on out they will be playing a game of blind man's bluff. They have put a blindfold over then own eyes and paved the way for Com munists to tease,x antagonize, and even get in some good licks while they stand and try to grasp out in the dark and fumble for a catch. We argue that the American system is in a better position to squelch the Commnuist doctrines out in the open by comparison of virtues as they are practiced. Under the Bill of Rights, as discussed in an article by Bill Crisp published in this publication several days ago and cited in a Greensboro Daily News editorial as the "keenest analysis" of the complicated problem of the Communist existence under our governmental structure v,o rnmtnnnicts arp protected in so long as j n ov, rntinn of V.P huckstering the wares of Rus mey ao doi, di,, u.w; - UnUed gtateg overthrow 01 government oy iuice vi vio- lence; (2) an incitement to riot; (3) an advo cation of changing the status quo by some unlawful means; (4) an intention provoca tion of the commission of any crime; (5) an intimidation of parties concerned with an impending judicial decision; (6) a giving of aid to the enemies of the United States; or (7) a revealing of government secrets to any person or government not in the confidence of the United States for that specific pur pose. So let the Communists talk if they will. Give them a chance to express their views. Their fallacies will come to the surface and they will not be aided by martyrdom. This Is It World Must Know Peace ,Ey John Boeder At its last meeting the Ameri can Veteran Committee gave its full support to Congressional Joint Resolution number 24. This resolution - is now being studied by the Senatorial For eign Affairs Committee. I am certain few readers of this article would oppose the endorsement of the opening phrase of the bill: "all the world desires durable peace." "But How," we cry. "How Itcari there be durable peace when each nation fears its neighbor's agression?" How can there be peace when Russia is preparing for war; announcing to all the world that it has the atomic bomb; when she reaches out and attempts to smother the world in Communism. Or when those who are Washington Merry-Go-Round Americans Give To Help Europe These inadequacies are recog nized by the proposed resolu tion: "Experience indicates that the United Nations in its present structure is not fully adequate for this task of creat ing a durable peace." Realizing that the Charter of the United Nations, in Article i09, provides a procedure by which the charter can be re vised, and understanding that those nations which are intent on creating this lasting peace are waiting for the leadership of the United States, theauthors of the resolution have asked Congress to resolve that the Dresident take "the initiative in calling a general conference of news. Furthermore, it's invig the United Nations for the ',orating, stimulating news that By Drew Pearson Aboard The Southwest Spec ial Friendship Train.

The professors certainly hit the nail on the head this time, and we believe they sia of "war-mongering"; when they accuse the United States of building tremendous stock piles of atom bombs in prep aration for an imperialistic war. How can there be a durable peace? During the war the United Nations "was created. The lay man looked at the newspaper articles and said, "This will save us." But now we wonder! The Charter of the United Na tions, as well as the implica tion of the very title "United Nations" guarantees the sov ereignty of each individual member country. To quote Article 2, section 1 of the chart er: "The organization is based on the principle of the sovereign equality of all its members." Sovereignty .means that each nation is a complete entity. Under this doctrine a nation can do as it wishes no matter how detrimental its actions may be to the other nations of the world. The sovereignty of a na tion has nothing to do with the individual freedom and rights of the peoples who are citizens or subjects of the sovereign nation. Individual citizens do not make war. War is forced upon the people by the will of the powers which control the ing a southern university. However he went deserve a pat on the back. We want to de into the race with no other thought than clare here and now that we all use cliches more than we realize. Beiore we Know which end is up our conversation begins to include these worn-out and out-moded ex pressions. To fall heir to such a practice is as easy as falling off a log. that of winning and proceeded to do just that. Milne is a' true top flight athlete and today showed the school just why the Monogram club elected him last spring as the outstand ing all around athlete at Carolina and be stowed upon him the Adam Hat trophy. It was a great triumph for a man in a minor sport and should prove a lift to all of track in the south as well as all sports. Milne has brought the south the first cross country championship and also the respect that should be due to the smaller and less recognized sports on the campus. We can now truthfully answer the skeptics in many northern schools who claim that the schools below the Mason Dixon line indulge only in football. We knew it before but now the loud We might as well face the music and keep a stiff upper lip about this. Getting down to brass tacks, we are as guilty as the next one. The main way to keep from murdering the King's English is to nip the cliche in the bud. We should think twice before we begin to put our two cents worth into- the pot. When we hear others going to the dogs, we should remember not' to fly off the handle or to cross bridges before we come to them. It will only take time be fore some people begin to see the light; then perhaps we'll be able to grab the bull by the homes and bring cliches to a screeching halt. D. M. purpose of making the United Nations capable of enacting, interpreting, and enforcing world law to prevent war. There seems to be oe method by which this can be done. The charter must be revised in such" a way that it will no longer be a loose confederation of the sovereign nations of the world. It must be changed into an en forcable federation; a govern men of , by and for the people must be created. It would be a super-sovereignty capable of controlling munitions; a world government which could enforce the democratic laws of the people in a manner similar to that of the Federal Government of the United States. If such a world government is not created we are faced with two other possible courses of action. The United Sta'tes must launch a "preventive war" and conquer the rest of the world before the rest of the world conquers us. This would lead to' a world government under the complete domination of the United States. Or we wait, allowing Russia, as well as other nations, to arm her self to the teeth. Then we fight. And then? It has been said we . are not ready for World Government. That may be so. At least . the time has come when the President should act as proposed in the joint resolu tion.

Dear Fellow Freshman: You and I have the privi lege of being freshmen in one of the finest universities in the United States. Perhaps we might not think so at times, when we live in a Q. Hut with 19 bunk-mates or in a barracks with around 100 bunk-mates. But let's a- gree that we still think that it is a great university since we haven't left yet. One of the most renowned features of U. N. C. is its student go vernment. Next Tuesday, at Gerrard Hall between the hours of 1:00 and 6:00 p.m., we Freshmen will have the Dick Long, man the Wichita Eagle, practically quit being a newspaperman in order to or ganize this Southwest Special of the Friendship Train Hun dreds of newspapers used up nonite church scoured the ud jacent wheat-growing counti. until 28 cars of wheat and flour were attached to the Friendship Train The Tall Corn NYt- work in Iowa staged an all-'u-it radio drive for food and fund:-,, later reported that, for the fir.t time, people who phoned in io the radio stations pledging money gave more than they pledged.

For two weeks now I have been riding three ditterent sections of the Friendship Train, from Sunny California, through snowy Wyoming, across the brown plains of Kansas and through the smoke-begrimed in dustrial cities of Pennsylvania. But, regardless of geograpny, weather or industry, the re sponse has been equally warm and thrilling. This has not been government aid from diplomat to diplomat, but from people to people. Every conceivable cross section of American life has cooperated. Railroads and railroad employ ees, small towns and big towns, all religions, all races, rich and poor all turned out at the rail road stations to help build the bridge of friendship between Europe and the United States. and scores of radio stations sacrificed valuable advertising to do the same. hauling off five cars.

We know from cidentlv. Co-Capt. George Pea !SJf!l.P past elections that we have seen this fall quarter that most of tne student body at Carolina aren't interested e nough to even bother to vote. Also, we should realize that some few years in the future, the large portion of the re sponsibility for the growth, continuation, and administra tion of this powerful student government will lie upon our shoulders. Isn't is our duty to Caro lina to appear, on Tuesday and place our vote with some candidate for this office? If we knew of a Freshman who failed through pure inertia and disinterest to make his appearance at that all-important Carolina-Georgia game back in September, we would immediately declare that he was not showing the Caroli na spirit and backing of UNC that he should. It is just as important that we support other phases of the Carolina way of life. On Tuesday, let's show the rest of the student body that we Freshmen are interested in Carolina and are willing to do our part for the smooth function of our well known student government.

"It is not very effective at present, but could be with more indoctrination". P. McNeer Dil lon, Jr. "The honor system is as ef fective as it can be under the present system". Fred Burgess. "It would be more effective if the frat house 'files' were abolished. Maybe this doesn't contribute to dishonesty dur ing the actual quizes but it might lean a little toward such immediately before them". Charles W. Kumings. Opposing these views are the "If the honor system is ef fective, why is there any con troversy over the House Privi leges board visiting fraternity houses to check on their honesty as far as drinking is concern ed?" Betty Allen. "As a whole, the honor sys tem is not too effective. Take each person individually atrJ the honor system receives more sanction. Our honor councils are very effective when flaws are detected but have a lot of trouble finding out about them." Gean Childress. "Let's not kid ourselves.
