PAUfi TWO 'Carolina's Non-pat than, Fi ee Platfo) m' With the Speaker's Fund bill scheduled to reach the floor of the special legislature session Thursday night, student organiza tions which in the past brought prominent speakers to the campus face partial consoli dation. A fusion -of political-minded groups to collectively sponsor the speakers of the future is, in effect, called for by the new bill.. - The bill, fostered by disappointment and mild disgust on the part of certain individuals who felt that the CPU, IRC and CCUN were deceiving the public in their avowed purpose and were not getting the quality of speakers of the past, comes on the heels of Tom Eller's request that these organiza tions be "excluded from the' budget for the fiscal year, 1943-49." " Below is a letter which we received yester day from an erst-while chairman of the Political Union. Because it offers clarifica tion on certain phases of bring speakers to the University, we have reproduced the letter in full in the hope that.it will add weight to the bill now before the legislature. "I hope that Bill Poslin, Ridley Whitaker and Dick Railey didn't see the DTH of January 27th, for they would have been somewhat shocked at the compliment paid to them. You see, they -were all Carolina Political Union chairmen between 1941 and 1943 the time, when says your editorialist, "no one, regardless of his importance or the pressure of business', would cancel ..." Ask anyone in the Union to let you see the files for those years. Write to Bill Joslin, whose year, although highly successful, waS( one of heart-break after heart-break, when one speaker after another cancelled out at the last moment. It happens all the time. -Bill Kemp's record this year is a good one. The Soft Couches, Loiv This is an editorial on the advantages of the Rendezvous Room. It is also an editorial praising the present managers of above men tioned haven on their efficient management. The first point that we would be prone to stress is that of the ,nice, soft, comfortable couches arranged around the fireplace. The next point is that of low lights and sweet music most oi we ume;, uum a- uaumc in fluence on, shall we say, good relations. All this,-and you can purchase short snacks at the counter, such as soft drinks, ice cream, candy and cigarettes. In addition, there is a swell dance floor if the couches prove too boring. These are merely the outstanding charac teristics. One could also call attention to the up and coming entertainment provided, es pecially the Friday night sessions under the Dean Susan Akers Is Attending Meeting Dean Susan Gray Akers of the University School of Library sci ence is attending a series of li brary meetings in Chicago this week and the early part of next week. She is now participating in tha pre-conference workshop for li brarians and sociologists and du ring the weekend will attend the Midwinter conference of the Council of American Library as sociation and a business meeting of the Association of American Library schools. On Monday Dean Akers will participate in a conference on li brary education to be sponsored by the American Library association.

Grover Henson, Neal Howard, Jr. speaker problem has become more difficult, "For one thing, when the Union was organ ized some thirteen or fourteen years ago, it was about the only college group that offered a non-partisan platform. Not the only college group at Chapel Hill, but the only one in the nation. TIME, of December 18, I think, of 1939, in its lead story, will confirm this, (story on Voit Gilmore, CPU chairman, bringng down the late President Roosevelt.) "The idea spread out from Carolina, as have so many good ideas, and now .non partisian political unions dot the nation. Yale has a fine one, for instance. "Carolina is' off the beaten' political track. It is difficult to get good speakers down. The poor audience which we gave Glen Taylor last year was disgraceful, especially considering the fine evening that he and his family gave us. W'I hope that the Union, and the IRC, can work together. The presentation of Am bassador Winewicz this fall was just that, a cooperative enterprise, in which the Union, which, last spring had made arrangements with the Ambassador, offered its hand to the IRC in the hope that, beginning with one speech, these two organizations could work towards" their mutual' aim, the bringing of provocative, authoritative, college-level-geared speakers of repute to the campus. Although there have been some slack sea sons, it is my deep hope that Carolina's non partisan, free platform will again become an outstanding place from which our nation's leaders can test out intelligent reactions to their policies. Only through free trade in the market place of ideas can intelligent, responsible democracy be realized." Jerry Davidoff '47 Lights and Music JVjl O Woman Ex-Balloonist Craves Plane Ride CHICAGO (UP) One of the first women to go aloft in a bal loon has a single unfulfilled am bition to take an airplane ride. Mrs. Irene Coffee, 60, says she's been out of the sky for more than a quarter of a century and would like to go back to it. Back in 1902 she saw a news paper advertisement which read. "Wanted. Young girl to make bal loon ascension." She ran away from home to get the job. She was 15 at the time. Her first ascent was far from glamorous. She rose a modest 50 feet in. the old-fashioned wood burning balloon and settled in a Murphysboro, 111., frog pond.

If you don't know, you should try it some time soon. Of course to operate such an attractive joint, the people in charge must be capable characters, and they are. Every day, they're busy remodeling or doing something to add to the pleasure of the patrons. Don't hold it against them, though, that we're mad when we go down and they're closed for repairs in I the afternoon, because we'll even admit that that is, necessary to set up new and better procedure.

Write Away Good Idea Editor: Recently in the "Tar Heel" there has been a considerable a mouht of controversy and dis cussion pertaining to the status of the "Carolina Mag" and the "Tarnation". Why not abolish both magazines and expand the "Daily Tar Heel"? It seems that the opinion of many students on the campus i- that these so-called magazine? are a waste of funds since very little benefit is derived from the pages thereof.

THE DAILY Sunday Counselor A Poem About SUNDAY COUNSELOR AO By Dr. Herbert Spaugh Many a lesson can be learned from the humorous incidents in life. He is to be pitied who has no sense of humor. Fortunate is the man who has such and can carry it to a ripe old age. Be for e me just now is a letter from a 91 -year-old man who during his active business life has traveled up wards of 15,000,- 000 miles. He says, "I came through without a scratch. I feel that the good Lord had a hand in this." He evidently has an interest ing sense of humor, as he sent me the following from his scrap book by an unknown author: Three monkeys in a cocoanut tree' discussing things as they're said lo be. Said one to the others, "Now listen, you two, there's a certain rumor thai can't be true. That man des cended frcm our noble race; the very idea is a disgrace. No monkey ever deserted his wife, starved her babies and ruined her life. And you've never known a mother monk to leave her babies with others io bunk or to pass them on from one to another rill they scarce ly know who is their mother. And another thing you'll never see, a monk build a fence round a cocoanut tree and let the cocoanuis go to waste, forbidding- all other monks a taste. Why, if I'd put a fence around a tree, starvation would force you to steal from me. Herd's another thing a monk won't do go out at night and get on a stew, or use a gun or club or knife io lake some other monkey's life. Yes, man des cended the ornery cuss. But, brothers. he didn't descend frcm us." Some may say that this is utter foolishness, but it is certainly thought-provoking. My correspondent also passes on this bit of his own philosophy: "Many of us have been en tangled in things we would like lo forget. Therefore may each Write Away No Paper Today Dear Editor: Inasmuch as I am only a stu dent, and therefore rather dumb, I would appreciate it very much if you would be so kind as to straighten out a question that has intrigued me for some time now. WHAT THE, DEVIL HAPPENS TO THE TAR HEELS THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO BE DELIVERED TO THE MEN'S DORMS EACH MORNING? It's usually quite an inspira tion to arise when you know that a newspaper is lying out side your door containing all the local and foreign news. In other words, there isn't much point in getting up just for classes. But it's a bit strange to find that no TAR HEELS show up. Well, one or two. but is that so good? I meark one or two per dorm. I even stayed up one night waiting for tho TAR HEEL to come So I could find what manner of thing delivered them (Sup posedly). Imagine my surprise and dismay that bright Satur day morning when no TAR HEEL was deposited before my door. I had io go io Graham Memorial io read it, and it was after four thai afternoon before I could find one there. Gad! sir, what's happening. 1 paid me money, and I wants me (See WRITE AWAY Page 4) Playmakers-Music 'Mikado' By Bob Sain The joint Playmakers-Music Department production "T h e Mikado" by Gilbert and Sullivan is without doubt one of ' the best possible antidotes for the mid-winter willies. Light music and laughs are always welcome in January. There is little point in sing ing out any one person for parti cular mention since all of ' the huge cast and auxiliary workers contributed to the over-all pleas ant affect of the show. But a sense of duty makes us recog it n liim nmn mini TAE HEEL Monkeys of us begin today and during all of our tomorrows endeavor not to be entangled with anything that will cause regret. Cultiva ting a disposition to see God's hand in all things about u:i will result in a more fruitful life, and build strong and secure bulwark to protect us against the pitfalls that beset 'our pathway. Let us set our mind to do more of th? things we should do and less of the things we should not do." Here is a man that I would like to meet some time. Endow ed with a keen sense of humor, he has a rich philosophy of life which has brought him to the fullness of sunset years. Some of us come, to those years earlier than others. It should be our aim and desire to walk with our Lord here, and we can be certain then to walk with him over there in the Father's House. Men's Fashions Topcoats, Braces, Jewelry By The Fashion Editor of Esquire Magazine That old chestnut about the fireman and his red suspenders no longer holds quite so true. Several years ago, when men started climbing into uniforms, the brace lost quite a bit of ground to the government sponsored belt. After a hitch in the service (that's a pun, son!) men had become so accustomed to the belt that they continued, wearing them into civilian life but civilian belts are as different from army belts as tweed is from khaki: The tooled, western style belt is one that's be coming a big favorite on the country's campuses. It's a heft belt finished with a bold buckle. Another favorite is a cor dovan belt; it's a rich reddish brown tone and the glossy texture of the cordovan takes on a high glow when polish edthe higher the better! But if you're of the school that thinks trousers don't hang properly unless supported by braces and this school 'is large there are several types of them around to. choose from: the all-elastic type, the non-elastic ribbon brace with an elastic inset in the back, and the mesh or knitted type. The loose weave in these al lows a certain amount of give. Anything that gives you twice your money's worth should be of interest to college men . . . any man ior inai matter. The reversible coats ((remeber how popular they used to be?) are coming back again but strong! One side tweed, one side processed cotton that laughs at the rain goodlooking in the casual campus manner the revers ible topcoat can be worn with equal nonchalance on the nicest or the nastiest day. When it starts to rain, just turn the other lining. The big favorite is the raglan sleeve model with slash pockets which are available no matter Breaks Winter Ice nize the fine comic ability of Andrew Griffith, who is "Ko-Ko, the Lord High Executioner". Griffith's acting Was even a cut above his excellent vocal work. Working with Sam Hirsch in garnering laughs, he displayed a talent for comedy thai surpasses anything this reviewer has seen south of ihe Main Stem. Hirsch, by the way, played "Poo-Bah," with admirable aplomb and exhibited a surpris ing vocal talent. Catherine Covington's work as "Katisha", YW Chatter YW Winter Activities Moving By Sally Woodhull Y committees are now in the? full swing of their winter quarter activities, with meetings sche duled for this week holding muc h interest for Y members and the campus at large. The Recreation committee, headed by Emily Ogburn, will meet at the home of Gay Currie, public health nurse, at 724 Gimg houl road, tomorrow afternoon at 5 o'clock. They will plan the recreation for the joint YM-Y.V retreat at Natural Bridge, Vir ginia, February 20-22, arranging for excursions to points of inter est near the hotel, and for square and social dances and parties. Miss Currie will also help the girls plan for ihe recrea tion which they direct at ihe White Cress and Carrboro schools one afternoon each which side is being worn as the outside. The tweed fabrics are available in plain diagonal weaves or irvthe more popular herringbone weave mostly in brown but also in grey and bluish grey. Jewelry that has a claim to utility has always been popular with well-groomed men. Even men who think it's masculine to declaim the use of jewelry will jump at the chance to wear some if they're given an excuse for doing so witness the widespread use of the Air Corps promoted identfication bracelet. Tie pins and clasps, for instance if you've ever had a necktie flapping in your face when you're driving a car or run ning to make a class, you know how welcome the tie clasp can be. And it has an added use: some men knot their ties in such a way that ties stick straight out from the collar; a tie clasp pulls them down flat. The good news it that the new tie clasps are bold and masculne looking no longer delicate little chains or thin strips of metal. One in partic ular is a simple band, some times decorated with the wearer's initials, Others are shaped like arrows, nails, and swords. They're of the trompe Foeil school they seem to pierce the tie but don't.

Carl Berry and Barbara Ed wards sang "Nanki-Poo" and "Yum-Yum" io ihe satisfaction of everyone. Lynn Gault, who staged and designed "The Mikado", produced a striking set that contributed much to the show. "The Mikado" opened Friday night, and tonight's show will, unfortunately, be the final performance. 0 11 month.

She consoled worried coeds with the cheering information that there were at least twelve types of men for each individual type of girl, and that any one of these twelve types would be compatible as s future husband. The parlor of Mclver was light ed by open fire and during the talk Joyce Johnson and Mrs. Cooke, Mclver hostess, served cookies and hot chocolate.
