t f i . 11 f I i , - i i i i i ! t ii u !! ii PAGE TWO M ills-Stones The Frugal Life Looms By Barron Mills As it cornes nearer and nearer the close of the term, -which means graduation," it is becoming in creasingly apparent that a young man, until he is in his thirties, is supposed to be frugul, diet and wear his clothing until they are in shreds. As I begin job hunting in the advertising field, I inevitably meet the same et-up. The company lakes only men who are graduates of acrediied col leges. "We always iarl our new men out either as messen gers or salesmen. The salary is $25 weekly and you 'must work at least nine months before you can expect advancement. These people do not tell us how we are expected to be able to exist in metropolitan New York on $25 weekly by practicing even ultra-frugality. The tragic part of it is that soon, with the mass production business school turnouts, all fields will be . in the same, fix. An average young man will not be able to marry in the per iod which he should for biolog . ical and phsychological reasons. Unless both husband and wife work, there will not be enough in the $25 weekly pay checks to buy even the necessities. If they marry then they will not be able to afford children be cause they just are able to sur vive on two checks per week. So what happens to the young man who spent 16 years in preparing himself for outside the school room and then is worse off than his friend who stopped school in the sixth grade and now makes twice his own salary as a carp enter's helper? Down in Texas at the Uni versity, the Ranger, the col legiate magazine which, last year, surpried the campus and the country with its expose of the methods of cheating on ex ams, has an article in its Feb ruary issue on "Why I Am a Communist." Its decorative and effective cover shows the actual Com munist Party card of Wendell Addington superimposed over this is a side-view of Wed dingion. Inside, appears the ar ticle written by the Communist and a reply, "Why I Am Not a Communist", by Ranger Man aging Editor Ben Jeffery. We do not have a copy of this .ssue of the Ranger and have not, therefore, had a chance to read it. However, we have noted, with Interest the comments of the stv'en.ts at UT who have read both articles. Here is their gen era! impression: "The majority of students in-te-viewed with Wendell. Ad dington, author of the story, on th merits of being a Commu nvt, but no one advocated any drsstic action." Another comment was: " . . . it would be a great mistake, and a s'ly one, for anyone to try to take action against him (Wen de1! Addington), ' Ir-ridentally the University of Testis, according to Addington, h'as about 20 Communist and there are about 500 in the state. . 'At a movie playing at the Vil lage the other day there was a girl (strip-teaser by profession). Her name was Choo Choo. When she started her ' act a group of bright young lads (must have been college boys) v;p near the fror.t began a chant, "All the way, Chco Choo."

I don't believe that they realize the seriousness of the situation at the present time. What we've got to do, by mass meeting of all the car owners or some other method, is acquaint these drivers with the situation That was the plea of the board of the Welfare Board meeting of the year last Thursday.- With no words lost, Dean Fred Weaver poked the hard, old facts to the gathering. There are now 1540 registered automobiles on campus. To show the urgency of this situation Ernie House, chairman of the .Safety council, stat ed that there are now 5S0 automobile own ers who live outside of the that was established by the last December. On the campus there . are only about 650 legitimate 'parking spaces for automobiles. House emphatically stated that "If as many as 30 or 40 unauthorized drivers use these spaces then the situation becomes a serious one." These figures deal only with the registered automobiles. We have reason to believe that there are quite a few automobiles which are not registered and this makes the situation even more deli cate. The question that . faced the Board was very blunt, "Should a student ' be required to secure permission from the administra tion in order to maintain an automobile on campus?" The faculty members were almost uni formly of the same opinion: Yes: The stu dent members were a little more lenient and varied in opinion. cA Ch Poll tange in It has been an unannounced policy of the Daily Tar Heel in the past several years to print columns for any organizations which requested space, providing they met our deadlines and space regulations. This prac tice has been carried to an extreme and readers are complaining of seeing the same ole "hog-wash" issue after issue. For this reason we are having to change our policy. Beginning with Tuesday morning's edition we will no longer print any organizational columns. This goes for all organizations.- We will show no partiality.

Student. Body President Tom Eller, pro claimed that he believed that he, as a repre sentative of his constituents, could not favor any measure that would deprive a student of his automobile without first trying other means of alleviating the traffic conditions. A typical example of student abuse of their privilege of maintaining their auto mobiles was cited by one of the faculty mem bers of the Board. He said that day after day he saw the same men jump in their autos after completing their class in Cald well and jockey in a parking space behind Memorial hall for their class at Phillips. It ;weu!d have been much easier, just as quic1: "id less expensive for the car owner to walk over to his class. As it is they en snarled traffic and endangered the life of students moving across campus. - It is evident by both student and faculty members of the Welfare Board that some thing must be done. Drivers are not ad hering to the requests of the Safety council and "good sportsmanship" in operating and parking of vehicles is being abused. Unless students take the initiative in com plying with the requests of the Safety coun cil, then they may have a hard time sup plying the faculty with ample reason for maintaining an automobile in Chapel Hill. The faculty rightly says that, academically, an automobile serves little purpose to the student who lives within the walking zone. one column without cutting out the others.

Ruark, serving as judges in the essay prize-winning discussion by place in the contest were Harold Bock and-Morty Seif.) Ef Charles Douglas Carter The atomic bomb carries two tremendous imphcations that i confirm my opposition to uni versal peacetime military train ing: (1) It renders mass armies anachronous, since any future war will be fought neither with nor against such armies but with technological devices against nerve centers of industry and populations. (2) It reveals clear - ly the necessity for truly international- and democratic controls over all munitions and military establishments, which can le achieved by radical amendment of the United Nations Organiza tion. In view of these revolution ary . facts, to subject, the total citizenry to close order drill and military discipline would reveal the impotence of our political wisdom, since such could serve only to render the people docile and responsive to authoritarian command. When this is done democracy is dead and freedom is a fiction. Does conscription actually safe guard peace and prevent wars? History emphatically says no. Here are some examples: Napole on from 1800 to 1813 was pro vided with over two and one half million men to fight iho Napoleonic wars. In 1783 Japan started military training. She fought Russia. China, and the United States. Conscripaion invites war. It guarantees neither peace nor victory in case of war. If the conscription act was passed it would be a testimonial of the United Stales ' that we have no faith in a world security organi zation. What type of peace is it that requires more men in uniform to, preserve it than could be got by voluntary means? If we are ready to let the Gov ernment tell us what to do and accept those orders without ques tion, conscription will be just the thing. But-we do not want that. We want to be able tot hink for ourselves. We want to teach our youth to think for themselves. The ability to think and to act for one's self is initiative. Uni versal compulsory military train ing won't teach initiative. It will stifle it. Military training wen't prepare for a democracy. Military training prevents it. A sure way to have war is to be prepared for it.

Letters which contain ob scene or libelous statements or letters which do not comply with these stipulations will not be pub lished. Editor; Realizing the pertinence of my subject, I wish that you would consider this letter. It concerns a controversy that has always been confined to private disputes and personal opinion. I can't help but think that where a matter vitally concerns the well being of a society there should be some open means of discussing it. My thoughts are anti-God. They are not unusual thoughts. I venture to say that underneath all the rabble and apparent orthodoxy of the average student's mind such thoughts continually find currents. In rny opinion the in telligent person is bothered most by such subcurrents. I say let's stop suppressing them! Let's bring these thoughts of religion out in the open and find a so lution to this madness! Tof some, such a lelier will be shocking; to others (more per haps than we realize), it will bring confirmation of iheir own thoughts and some hope for a common solution of this demoral izing self -blasphemy. I have no doubt of the good intentions of the christian church. But today, because of the arti ficiality nd dogmatism of these well-intentioned people, we are forced to live, and adjust our selves as beet we can. In a high wishes to thank Dr. Howard and Prof. Warren Ashby for contest which produces this ! C. D. Carter. Tying for second be there to knock that chip off. Ability to fight, shoot, and kill vili not bfing peace. Armed camps mean sure war. What we need now in time of peace is an intelligence service able toiorewarn us of the emerg ence of a particular enemy. We must maintain an efficient armed jfrce whose equipment must be ithe t in the world and who? personnel is maintained at a high state of efficiency. Most important of all, we must utilize our scien tists for preparedness against the contingency of war as well as for building a stronger and a better America. The three billion dollars that peacetime conscription would cost each year can be far more wise ly spent by using one billion to maintain our armed services at a high state of efficiency which would be twice the amount they received in the decade before Pearl Harbor one billion for a national health program, and one billion to provide adequate fi nancial support for our educa tional establishment in order that every man, woman, boy, and girl in our country might receive that quality of education that is now made available only in our better cities. The three billion dollars spent in this way will do far more for our defense than one, two, or even five years of compulsory military training. What our people and the people of all con tinents need is not more mili tarism or regimentation, but more democracy, more freedom. and greater equality of oppor tunity. In- the 172 years of the ex istence of the United States as a nation, ve have maintained the military policy which calls for, in the time of peace, a profes sional army raised by the volun teer method, implemented and supplemented in times of emerg ency by emergency conscription. This policy should be maintained in the future. The status quo has not failed the United States. By way of summary it is easy to see that Compulsory Military Training is not the solution to problems of an atomic age. First of all, there is no ' need of the proposed training policy, either to meet our international com mitments, or for the sake of our own defense. Secondly, the (See ESSAY, page 4) ly un-natural and strained so ciety. The result is a complex of frustration and fear that makes it impossible for a person to bridge the gap between adolesc ence and adult realism without serious defects of character. Be cause of many things, but mainly because of the christian religion and what it implies in this coun try. We are fast becoming a race of phsychological misfits. This is not . a broad statement. All you have to do is look around you, in the class room or on the cam pus. No element in our society looms more obvious or more dangerous. Some hope for the reconcilia tion of our religion with modern concepts. There is little recon ciliaticn of any truthful nature of religion to modern concepts. The best hope within the christ ian doctrine is a kind of quasi Iruih that many of our more realistic priests find it necessary to admittedly accept. The func tion thai Christianity originally sought to fulfill in man's mind can and must be fulfilled in a much better way and on a much higher plane. Christianity has represented in the evolution of man's reason a temporary retreat in its struggle for understanding and harmony with the universe. We are no longer compelled by an alien uni verse to withdraw into the stag nant waters of that dark abyss of blind faith and morbid decep tion that we called christanity. Some few men had always ling ered on the borders of that abyss, watching, working, always ex ploring and trying to make friendly the aweful truth out side. And now, thanks to these CPU Roundtoble Stumbling Block to "Peace Nationalism, the assignment of the individuality of the nation state to a high position on the i c f w-l 3 V jthe worij-s greatest stumbling i m ii H' til iiuu an aiuv .), t. block on the road to peace. This condition obtains because the factors which are inhetent in nationalism do not promote peace, I but tend rather toward war. Nationalism causes a contras ting difference existing between the single nation and the rest of the world. Differences of language, race, religion, and philosophy are over-emphasi2ed and exaggerated as to create distrust, fear, and eventual con- 1 flict. Nationalism never promotes understanding and discussion of the needs, beliefs, and ideals common to all peoples and all nations. Such a policy, even though it would promote peace, would mitigate against nationa lism since the existence of na tionalism is dependent upon the individuality of the nation. The emphasis upon individ uality begins with the forma tion of the nation stale, and concomitant with its growth is the unrestricted development of nationalism. This is true be cause the growth of nationa lism is necessary to the growth of the nation state. The result of such cumulative nationalis tic development has led in the i x to fascism and war. Kationalism, or the glorification of the nation state, tends inevi tably toward a greater empha sizing of the importance of the nation. Soon the point is reached at which the state rather than the individual is the major consider ation in the .formulation of na tional policy. Any policy or meas ure designated to support or aug ment the power and prestige of the state is then justifiable. The individual thus becomes a tool of the state in direct opposition to democratic theory, which holds the governments are instituted for the benifit of the individual. Germany and Italy before the last war offer clear examples of the fascist results from rampant na tionalism. Few people would contend that the policy of na tional expansion (an exuberant sort of nationalism) followed by three nations was designed to promote peace. However, nationalism's great est obstacle to peace it is in herent assumption that nation al security and national foreign policy must be based ultimately upon military force. National ists fail to realize that security is relative, and that any meas ure which makes one nation heroes of reason, we can face it! As we must, before we rot of spiritual and moral gangrene! L.
