SATURDAY' MARCH 27. n-j, PAGE TWO THE DAILY TAR HEEL f 4 i, i V t. i'-U In the past many colleges discussing the advisability of joining the National Student association have been confronted with the moot question: "Is the NSA Communist dominated?" Last fall, after returning from the constitutional convention, Delegate Bill Miller assured the campus through the col umns of this publication that the Commu nist clique within the NSA had been voted ' down and thte few Reds in the group were 7 powerless. Then this month further developments oc curred which corroborate this fact. The two delegates who were elected to attend the " international Union of Students in Europe V," resigned their posts after announcing that they had substantial evidence to make. . ' them believe that the IUS is Communistic. In Prague on Feb. 25 at least one student ' was killed and several wounded when police " fired on a procession of 1,500 students who were marching to ask President Benes not to install the new government. According to press releases they received a volley of lead . rather than an opportunity to talk with the president. The Reds took over the Czecho- - slovakian government and. proceeded, accord " ing to a member of the NSA delegation, to oor Man Around the Nation's Capital speculations a 4 -have it that the next president of the United '-States will be Ike Eisenhower on the - Democratic ticket. But another military fig ure, "Dugout Doug" MacArthur, is not to " be outdone in the scramble for publicity '' and the candidacy for the presidency. ' The dramatic, thesaurus-mouthed General '. Doug has been quoted by the Hearst pub lications in a front-page spread last Wednes day afternoon that the reason he became an aspirant for the presidential nomination was due mainly to the active opposition of the V Communist party against him. The most outspoken critics of MacArthur are, as is to be expected, the men who served in the armed services. At universities . throughout thf nation rhantprs of VAM .

Following such actions .the IUS secretariat was reques ted to condemn the action of the present Czechoslovakian government with regard to the treatment of students in Prague.. The secretariat refused and furnished the two NSA delegates ample proof that the IUS is a Red organ. There is a great need for an organization with the motives of the NSA. If it had not taken the step which it did in breaking cleanly, away from the Communistic Inter national Union of Students it would have been helpless in this country. It would have been a death blow to the NSA. In the meantime, until sometime next month when the complete Czech situation wil be examined by a special appointed com mittee, the NSA will continue its interna tional program and will make every effort to cooperate with individual foreign stu dent unions in non-political programs. Also in an effort to promote and strengthen in ternational understanding, the NSA will continue student exchange, travel and relief activities. active.

Bill Buchan NIGHT SPORTS: Bob Goldwater The Brassy Taste Of Play makers By Bob Sain Entertainment about campus i is due to pick up soon. Marty Jacobs is hard at work with crew on a musical comedy curiously entitled "Sweep it Clean." It's due to open in less than a month. From whal I've heard of Frank Groseclose's original score the show is bound to be tuneful. Pat Palmer probably top comedienne on campus will work in it. Director Jacobs, by the way, will be calling for singers and dancers any day now. Equally fine tidings comes from the Playmaker staff for the next major production: "Cyrano de Bergerac". Foster Fitzsimmons, who can't turn out a bad show, will direct. Practically the entire male roster of the Playmakers wants the title role. We hear quite vaguely and unofficially that Sam'Hirsch has the inside track. While I'm on the Playmaker subject, I have a confession to make. My conscience has brought it to my attention that my re view of "Call Back Yesterday" was anything but satisfactory. Okay, so the same thing ap plies to the play. I made my mistake in over rating McLain's script, in under rating the set and in not giv ing more credit to Jim Geiger, although he like most of the others left much to be desired in the way of good acting. You should excuse the expres- j sion department: A Plentytari- um is a place built by a man witn a lot of money. Discounts Belief War Didn't Minneapolis, Minn. (IP) The general belief that war ex periences have altered .the voca tional plans and ambitions of the great majority of the American veterans is discounted by the na tionwide survey on veterans' ed uation made by the American Council on Education with fin ancial backing of Disabled A merican Veterans. . Results of the study indicate that more than half (51 per cent) of the veterans now enrolled in the nation's colleges and univerr sities are preparing for the same vbcatidhs : they planned : to enter before they went into the armed services, according to Dean E. G. Williamson of the University of Minnesota who acted as chair man of the survey committee. Only 35 per cent, the survey shows, have changed their voca tional plans made before enter ing military service, while 11 per cent had not chosen vocations prior to donning uniforms. The greatest change in voca tional aims was found among the disabled veteran students, with 46 of the married students in this group and 43 per cent of the single students enrolled in pro grams leading to occupational goals different from those they had prior to the war. Principal reason advanced for i changing vocational choice was "change of interest." Of the 35 per cent who. have changed their plans, one fourth gave this rea- Space Filler Night Editor By Chuck Hauser THOUGHTS BY THE NIGHT EDITOR, March 26, 10 p. m. There comes a time in every newspaperman's life when he must write something just to fill up space. This is such a time. At the top of these columns appears Bob Sain's Brassy Taste. At the top of these columns should appear a cartoon by a young man named Bill Mauldin. The cartoon never reached the printshop and we will never go to press with a big slice of white space on the edit page, so you will have to bear with us. Tomorrow (today to the read er), instead of sitting in the sun out at the Buccaneer drinking a few brews, we will be sitting in class. The fact that we will be be sitting in class on Saturday would not be so bad, considering they will be the only Saturday classes we will have to suffer through during the quarter, but the fact that the Sattird?v clsss- and Magmakers After a column about two weeks ago on what I consider ed the not-loo-carefully laid plan for the prospective liter ary mag, the Carolina Quarter ly, the members of the execu tive committee of that would be publication declared open season on me, accusing me of printing untruths and ill con sidered remarks about their baby. They said I should have waited until I read the prospectus I've read the prospectus and learned nothing about the maga zine that I didn't know when I wrote the first column m which I called for a faculty editor for what is intended to be a quality magazine. I pointed out that there was no one on campus (with the exception of John Zucker who will probably not be here after May) who could edit such a magazine. I haven't changed my mind about that. The prospectus says that "a permanent advisory com mittee, consisting of three mem bers of the English faculty and two members of the Journalism department. . .will work with and . . .advise the editorial and busi ness staff." Only if such a committee has the final word in choice of stories, art and matters of policy will it be of any use. And I don't believe they would have it. The school should have a liter ary magazine. But why start one that would flop after two or three issues or else continue and discredit the University? Change Vets son. Other explanations advanc ed for change of vocational plans included "more opportunity in second choice," 17 per cent of this group; "more aptitude for second choice," 13 per cent; "is better paying," 4 per cent; and "too long to prepare for first choice," four per cent. One tenth of the student vet erns who changed their plans, stated that they had tried the vocation of their original choice, didn't like it and had switched to another. Only 1 per cent of those who Changed said they found ; preparing ' for the j first choice "too tough." Once having embarked upon training for a vocation under the G. I. Bill of Rights or the Rehabi lation' program, most student veterans have remained "on course." The study shows that 86 per cent have made no change in vocational plans since starting training under government bene fits. Some 12 per cent reported having switched vocational plans once since starting training, while only between 1 and 2 per cent said they had changed vo cations two or more times. Most student veterans feel that the majority of courses they are now taking are directly related to the vocations for which thev i are preparing. According to the survey, only 20 per cent do not consider their present college courses directly related to their chosen vocations. Thinks! room gatherings fall on Easter weekend is a crime. Of all the Saturdays in the quarter lo choose from, the University as usual picked the wrong one. Students living in the state close enough to their homes lo spend this Easter weekend with iheir families are deprived of that privilege by the indifferent attitude of the administration toward stu dents' feelings. The political scene gets more interesting by the day. Five candi dates are now in the race for the presidential post in the April 6 battle of the ballots Jess Ded- mond (CP-UP), Mike Rubish (SP), Charlie Long, Charlie Hod- enn and Tiiek Manninff CTnrlfnpn- dents) Political observers are betting that it will be a fight in the run-off between Dedmond and Long, but remember candidates can still enter the field up until midnight tonight (Saturday). And some politicoes are betting that a new face mipht show i'n 'et. Was Hitler Right ?

P" but w must rcull7C Johnson reminds us that Hitler Jsuch arguments as his are the said: "If this Bolshevism onlv ! most subtle type of "intellectual fostered its doctrines in one j propaganda to make American single . country, other countries would not need to trouble about it. But the first principle of this doctrine is its internationalism, that is to say, the belief that it must triumph throughout the whole world" . . .That it must attack "our whole system of the State and of society, our culture, our beliefs, our morality. . . which means turning the world as we know it upside down." Hitler rose, in the best Ameri can log-cabin-to-president tradi tion, from paper-hanger to head of a great nation. He sought to rebuild his nation from bank ruptcy, defeat, and disruption to internal security and well-being and world wide influence. But we certainly do not extol Mr. Hitler's methods. We agree, as Mr. Johnson obviously suggests, that we could not condone Hitler's own brand of "internationalism"; that is to say, the belief that (Nazism) must triumph through out the whole world." We defeated Hitler in war foi trying to do less of the same thing than Soviet Russia has al ready done in post-war "peace." Yet now that we are belatedly trying to weed out not mere fifth-columnists but traitors to our country traitors who are so "liberal" that they smugly gloat as Communist totalitarianism creeps closer and closer to our western foundations of individual freedom and dignity now, Mr. Johnson seeks to condem us be cause Hitler too was an enemy of the communists. England's Cliveden set almost irretrievably appeased central Europe into the hands of Hitler totalitarianism; Western "liberal ism" has already appeased half of Europe and half of Asia to Soviet totalitarianism. Does Mr. Johnson propose that we, in one last convulsion of free govern ment, elect even more such "liberals" to appease America and the rest of the world to Soviet totalitarianism? We agree :that "equality and brotherhood' V freedom of speech, press, and religion, individual freedom and dignity are all more fundamental must go deeper than "party loyalty, state loyalty, national loyalty." We agree, too, that "the faith that America is guaranteed against Germany's fate simply by our traditions of freedom is not entirely reason able." But would it not be an in sult to Mr. Johnson to suggest that he thinks such fundamental freedoms are protected under Communist)? With smooth "intellectualism," Mr. Johnson tries to apply his vacuum-packed absolutes to the most relative reality ever to ex- lst' namely, the human race and individual dignity.

It's said that the best safeguard for democracy is a well informed citizenry and there's no greater opportunity fr forwarding this condition than right here at our university.
