f i i PAGE TWO THE DAILY TAR HEEL FRIDAY, AFRIL 9. I:; c4n c4ll-3)ay, Sucker for tyou After you scream, yell and holler about people getting out and voting, you are inclined to get a little weary of the sub ject. Yet, after you finish your yelling, you discover that out of a student body of nearly 7,000 students only a few over half have marked their ballots. Why? First of all, it is a marked sign that the average student doesn't give a tinkers dam about his student gov ernment. Thcn it is a sign that the leaders in student gov ernment have failed in their task of impressing the im portance of voting on the student public. Tuesday, the runoffs from the spring elections will be held. As a rule, the turnout for runoffs does not compare with the interest shown in major elections. This is unfor unate, for in the runoffs, the final decisions are made as to who will officially take the reins in leading campus affairs next year. It is not important who the individual student votes for. .Any candidate who has ever run for office will willingly agree that they will bow to the majority of the voters if it is a majority. There is no such effect obtained, however, when barely half of the student body votes. It seems ridiculous to have to beg your fellow students to vote in elections. It is also definitely discouraging. From all obvious indications,- it wouldn't do much good to beg anyway. Maybe, if the elections board offered an all-day-sucker to each man or woman who turns out at' the polling place, the response would be more gratifying. Until the legislature appropriates enough money for -them, however we will still have to depend on the individual student to obtain by one means or another the interest or initiative to find his way to the polls and express his choice for his student leaders. When three-fourths of the student body turns out for elections, then the leaders and editorial writers will change their favorite song for another tune. Until they do, however, we will continue screaming and yelling and holler ing about more interest among the students. B.B. I vOvMi lW J sik'. I 'in iii 11 rl I I Wvfl KWfmm Tt j Cotf.

ACP Business Review 'I do hope Mac Arthur wins. The inside of that old White House would look so lovely lined with mirrorts." By' Bill Roberlson The feeling of cynicism and despair-of war hysteria and fear which fills our press appears in striking contrast to the "prop aganda" seeping out from be hind the "Iron Curtain" these days. Recently, Premier Dimitr- off of Bulgaria, returning from a trip to the Soviet Union, stated ! that he saw no signs of a war spirit in the Soviet press or among the Soviet people. Premier Gott wald of Czechoslovikia stated in a speech a few days ago that j there would be "no Third World War." In the Soviet Union itself, an article has appeared on the "trans ition from socialism to commun ism" as a practical xasK facing the Soviet people. This article predicts a tremendous expansion in the production of consumers' goods in the Soviet Union in the next few years. It is obvious from these ex amples that people's ideas are not the same everywhere. As the well-known Communist, Josef Stalin, put it "whateves is one's JL manner of life such is one's man-: newspapers can not destroy it! It ner of thought." Take the idea of j has a long history and was given heaven: The Wall Street bankers' idea of heaven is a magnificent and beautiful country like Brazil, rich in undeveloped natural resources and cheap labor-power. In such a country the rich-"Yanquis" may freely invest their surplus capital and play the game of "Monopoly" with loaded dice. But the best idea of heaven we have come across was de scribed by a little Russian school boy. He writes of a society a hundred years from now which will have more than enough food, clothing, and shelter for ail people all over the world. It will have museums exhibiting such curious "antiques" as tanks and machine-guns. It will be a society without stock-markets and grain exchanges' and, strangest of all, without money! But we Americans have our faith. Iso. Like the faith of the , expression many years ago by our greatest poet, Walt Whitman; Ccme, we shall make the conti nent indissoluble!. . .We plant companionship thick as trees along all the rivers of America. . .and along the shores cf the great lakes, and all over the prairies!

Write Away Defends Seixas And His Sportsmanship Apologies The Brassy Taste Competition For The Quarterly By Bob Sain The proposed literary quarterly to be begun here next fall (we hope) will have competition. Three men on campus O. B. Hardison, Harvey Hoeing and Paul Ramsey are planning to publish a "little" mag. They'll call it "Aprille". Contributions literary and monetary -may be addressed to Hardison, General Delivery in Chapel Hill. Format will be in the traditional vein six by nine. Ramsey is an English instructor here. . . Speaking of matters literary. . . The Thomas Wolfe award for the best story to appear in the Caro lina Mag this year will be made soon. A committee is being form will go as well to Beverly Joslin who sat in with the band for vocals. . . .Lamar Stringfield, who copped a Pulitzer prize for music some years ago, was in town last week. Stringfield did the music for the Lost Colony production and is continuing in the same vein with music for an historical pageant, "Shout Freedom," which chronicles the singning of the Mecklenburg Declaration of In dependence. The show is schedul ed to be presented at the South ern States fairground in Char lotte beginning May 20. . . . . .Marty Jacobs is happy about rehearsels for the joint DA and Music department show, "Sweep ed to hand out thai honor.

They played an un heralded concert in GM last week. Guest of honor was George Simon, editor of Metronome mag azine. Reports are that The Big Man was impressed.

Obviously, you have never played tennis, and I doubt wheth er you have gone farther in sports than criticizing, according to your own infinite conceptions of a sport but this could go on forever. From what I have seen of tennis and I play in my small way and follow it enthusiasti cally, Vic Seixas is one of the finest, if not the finest sports man on the courts today. This statement will be backed up by Coach Kenfield or any other tennis authority. Specifically, during last Fri day's match with Cornell, his display of control was amazing considering how far his game was off that day. ' Of course, you wouldn't understand that and naturally you do not wish to re member when one of Mr. Savitt's probably the worst one he'll have this season.

Fortunately, champions are not of thai calibre. I think that this letter repres ents the feelings of the majority ihe value of preparedness. Counter action is necessary against groups intent upon the destruction of institutions we cherish. However, io adequate ly fight this minority attempt at bludgeoning our way of life, we must go after ihem with clear facts when we're accusing them and with good hard reasoning when we are rebuffing them. With those weapons and the courage io use ihem we can keep any extremist intrigue confined io ihe extremists. Aside from the allowance 01 the gallery last Friday .

It is with this thought that I heartily urge your support at the polls for Mr. Jess Dedmond. Dick Manning It has come to the attention of CAROLINA MAGAZINE editors that several errors were incurred due to an oversight in the March issue. We apologize to Dick Fullen for having his illustration for the Suburban Interlude story labeled incorrectly. We apologize io Catie Holt for having omitted her name from the list of models on ihe fashion layout. We owe two apologies to Bill Harrison for failing to acknowl edge his tree illustration on the poetry page and his cartoons for the How io Treat a Roommate article. The Carolina Magazine Familiar ? Bartlcsville, Okla. (UP) A Bartlesville man awoke, walked into his front room en route to the doorstep for his morning paper and found a stranger on the floor in front of the fireplace, sound asleep. The man obligingly took a blanket from his bed, laid it pver the stranger, and read his paper When the man awoke, he rub bed his eyes and said: "Ow-w-w! I feci awful! Where am I?"

With the appearance of spring the battle royal is raging between inquisitive pooches and zealous gardeners. One unhappy soul said this week that there ain't no justice. He spent much valuable time planting a flower garden which the dogs dug up. Moiv valuable time replanting was spent the garden and putting un a fence to keep out the animals. Now he says the fence is .so hie,li he can't reach in to get the gras ; and weeds. So goes life in the wild wood.

By Larry Berry Congratulations to you who have been elected, a prayer of Thanksgiving in memory of tho-jo who tried, and sweet dreams to those consigned to the run-off. Last week I stressed the need of a tutorial system for the Uni versity and was gratified i-t the responses received. A letter Io the Tar Heel gave the plan of a much better system than I had indicated. So far I have not been able to get any action going on a tutorial plan, but I am startin this week. I sincerely hope that all of you will' help toward the goal of a college education for every Carolina graduate. This need not be as painful as it sounds to many degree seekers. When Carolina returned to its peace-time function as a Univer sity, many problems began to manifest themselves for students and. faculty alike; long lines, in creased prices, and crowded class rooms were among them. Gradu ally they gained precedence over most of the other bits of matter in this state of fiux roving in the brain, so that now many of us have become problems. I do not mean in the educational sense, but in a psychological one. Ex amples of this student for psy chology's sake are as numerous as comments on the New Look. There is much talk throughout the civilized world of the mal formed minds of college gradu ates. Of necessity the student in college comes into contact with' personalities thai can throw him f ir off the Jead of a normal life. Th"se are not the communist.", who come out and put on a nice .show for the benefit of all. I do not think that the campus pays representatives of tl very much attention to those en. outside of their amusement val ue. We do seem to hav ani"i us though a number of p i " whose common object :-ee:n ; I i be degradation of the reniaimri : homo j i.
