THE DAILY TAR HEEL THUKSDAY. AT'IUT, 1 nr. .PAGE TWO No (Race ZJrack Persons who commit acts of vandalism probably seldom think of themselves as vandals. But their acts are no less destructive because they are done unthinkingly rather than maliciously. The persons who used Emerson field as a race track Mon day night probably do not consider themselves vandals. Nevertheless they, did a masterful job of tearing up the baseball diamond. TJwo games had already been called off last week because of the poor condition of the field and the diamond had just been worked into shape for opening of the baseball season. It was only by dint of much extra work and expense that Monday night's damage was re paired in time for the game with Wake Forest yesterday afternoon. This is not the first time that unthinking or uncaring students have done damage to the University's athletic fields by driving automobiles over them. These athletic fields are maintained for the enjoyment of the whole stu dent body. It is not the privilege of a few to destroy them. In issuing a request that such acts not be repeated, Tom Eller, president of the student body, said yesterday, "I am certain that the actions were done in thoughtless fun, and I am equally certain that students will respond in the way they usually do with their' .We think that request could -stronger language. Vke li.JSl. Jn One of. the more progressive movesvon campus recently is the planned Mock Security Council of the UN, set for next Tuesday night by the Carolina Chapter of CCUN. Eleven organizations on campus have been invited to at tend with one delegate and two advisors. Each of the dele gates will represent one of the elecen countries on the coun cil. The meeting will give students an excellent opportunity .to have an inside view of the happenings of one branch of " the United aNtions and will, if the delegates prepare their ; cases sincerely, present points on the operations of the va rious nations in the Security Council. The mock council will discuss as their main issue the Communist coup in Czechoslavakia. Highlight of the as sembly, according to student interest, will be the appear ance of the Communist Party in Chapel Hill to represent the interests of Russia at the meeting. Contrary to possible opinion, the invitation to the Communists was not extend ed as a jibe at that organization, but rather because the . sponsors of the program felt that the members of the party . could best represent Russia's participation in the Czech affair. ' The meeting Tuesday is the first of a series of four meet ings which will represent various other groups of the UN, ; climaxing with a meeting of the General Assembly. Only through such programs as this can we as a nation learn the aims and ideals of the United Nations. Such pro grams, if those participating go about their duties consci- , entiously, can show us the little people of the United Nations what the leaders in Lake Success are attempting to accomplish.

Foo Giduz So now that its all over except the carrying out of campaign promises, we wonder . if the "third party" lads over at Wake Forest didn't have the right idea after all. . .Seems they don't like Baptist campus politics so they formed a new party (in five minutes, natch) with a f our- plank ' platform spear-headed by a pledge to "Abolish all political organizations of the student body." . . .And there, good bud dies, are pu-robablysome trewly shrewd politicians! Sounds like the surest vote-getting platform yet to us. Other planks in their platform are: (2) Abolish office of vice president of the student body; (3) Abolish compulsory class at tendance; (4) Rejuvenate campus spirit. . . ."Dunno what the name of this bunch is, but suggest they use the already well-defined handles of "Abolition" or "Pro hiSition Party." And there was another neat no-no note posted in Kenan Hall last week, too. . . .Sed in effect: "Women may not play cards or dance on Sundays in the' parlors of the dormitories. . ." To which we may unjustifiably ask: Other places, ok?. . .Can't tell what will come from the hundxes ;of snaps ! which Lifotog Lisa- Larson-took around the campus this past weekend. . .Allegedly she was snapping a series to be run in a few weeks (some in technicolor) on the theme of "spring comes to a college campus." When and if Life runs this speard here's hoping they include the entire campus and not just the fraterni ty side, . in which Mme. Larson seemed all too interested. . .

Washington Merry - Go - A Look At By Drew Pearson Here is the inside story of what happened when Speaker Joe Martin summoned John L. Lewis and operator-spokesman Ezra Van Horn to his office to hear some suggestions about ending the coal dispute. When the two visitors sat down. the speaker began: "I have a proposal that I believe will, be beneficial to both sides, and par ticularly to the country, in get ting the mines back to work. I know you are both reasonable I men and want to see this strike settled as much as we all do. "Gentlemen, we can't let it continue an' longer. We can not permit our factories to close for lack of coal and we can't stand a trans portation short ly age. if we are I Vy J to fulfm our ob- LaAhmoJ ligations to our o nwepople and to the world un der the European aid program."

' Of Students in Quandaries A Quiz By Sergei Burgess Of Students in Quandaries to day unveils a new service for the benefit of students in quandaries. Today we innau . . . inaug . . begin our question and answer service. If you have a question you want answered, send it to us and be assured that we'll de vote several seconds of thought to it daily. 1st question: What is the or igin of the word "Whiffenpoof " as in Whiffenpoof song? Answer: The word "Whiffen poof" stems from the French word "Poof" which can mean anything, and from the Greek word Jove which is the first name of every Greek god. The words joined somewhere in Asia eighteen hundred years ago when Julius Caesar and his Mongol hoardes swept through Russia. There is, however, another school of thought which insists that it comes from Jacques L. Whiffen poof, who founded the Greater University of New Jersey in Dur ham, N. C. in 1777. 2nd question: How does one get a date with a coed around here? Answer: There are several schools of though on this topic. I haven't much idea, though. I would suggest marrying one, if you could. If you do find a bet ter answer, however, let me know and I'll make the best use possible of it. 3rd question: What will be the final score of the Carolina-Texas football game next fall? i Answer: According to the best words we can get down at the gym the final will be . Carolina 89, Texas-0. At .the-same -time word is here from our Roving correspondent in Texas that the final' 'will Jbe Carolina-0, ..Tex'as 89, A good coin can settle , the Round Lewis Through The Americans and keep on silling until we reach an agreement. This will mean some sacrificing on both sides, but that's the way we do things in a demo cracy. I have lo make con cessions all the lime on legisla tion before Ihe Congress. No man makes more concessions than I do. "With Communists spreading' terror in other parts of the world, I want to remind you that we in this country are not even safe from totalitarianism unless we keep our guard up and our fac tories running at top production. I don't want to sound pessimistic, but that's a possibility. "As long as one major indus try is closed down especially the coal industry, which affecls our whole economy we are endangering nol only our own country al a lime when we can least afford it, bul also lhe peace of, lhe world." Lewis and Van Horn sat silent ly through Martin's patriotic ap peal, taking it all in, but waiting I for the other to say something. Lewis chewed imperturbably on ' an unlighted cigar. Martin con Kid, Yet score by being spun into the air and caught. 4th question: How many more hours do' I need to graduate? Answer: You're asking me that? 5th question: How can I eat here in Chapel Hill without hav ing to pay the prices these joints charge? Answer: Simply sleep all day so you won't have to eat, and then' stay awake all night so you can still do your homework. It does sound a little logical. 6th question: When is Ed Joy ner going to fire you? Answer: That's hitting a little below the belt, don't you think? (Ed. note: .Maybe you had bet ter see me in my office, Burgess.) 7th question: What ever hap pened to that damned green hair of yours? Answer: If you'll read through the latest American magazine, you'll see that Sergie can be a bit prophetic at times. Nice color pic of a chick with blonde, green, pink, red, et all, colored hair. And now, shut up until next week! EMORY, VANCE AWAY - Dr. Samuel T. Emory of the geology and geography depart ment and Dr. Rupert B. Vance of the Sociology department will at tend a meeting of the Committee of the Association of Learned So cieties on April 17 and 18 at Princeton university. Both Dr. Emory and Dr. Vance are presen ting papers. Dr. Emory also - spoke to the student body - at Saint Mary's school in Raleigh Monday on "The Influence of Geography on History." tinued: "Now, I am going to propose to you a man whom I hope you will accept as a public trustee for the purpose of negotiating your dispute. I have been talking to him about this for the last week and he has agreed to serve if you want him. He's a man of judicial temperament, who has n't involved himself in this dis pute and who has the respect of people generally. He can be counted on to be fair. "I am referring to Senator Styles Bridges of New Hamp shire." Lewis pretended to look sur prised, started to say something, then changed his mind. John L. is a great actor. He not only quotes Shakespear, but acts Shakespear. So probably Coal-Opearator-Spokesmen Van Horn did not know that just one year ago Lewis had proposed Senator Bridges to Secretary of the In terior Krug as the man to arbi trate the coal dispute between the government and the miners. In other words, the look of surprise on .Lewis s face was only feigned.

There would be then However, my allusion to Hitler ' onlv one treason treason to the was not designed to make any one inactive and passive; it was to suggest an alternate line of action. The purpose of my article was not to show cause for com placency, nor was it to give so lace to anyone who would like to gloat over America's short comings. On the contrary. Now is the time for the bold est action ever undertaken on an international scale. We must pro pose that the ultimate sovereign ty of all land belongs not to the The United States is still in a nations but to the world. As a strong position to lay the founda South Carolinian has the right ( tions for an effective internation to move to New York or Cali-jal government if it is willing to fornia without a passport, so all , take the lead in negating ab- people must have a free world passport and a bill of individual rights, guaranteed by a world government, which cannot be re- voked by national or state gov- ernments anywhere. A bill of rights not just for Americans in America but for everyone in the world must be agreed upon and soon. . It has . been argued that Amer ica would have to sacrifice too much to realize any such scheme. The wealth and support we would lend to a genuine world govern ment would be greater than that of any other nation. In letting down our immigration barriers, we would sacrifice our relatively high standard of living (our racial integrity!). We would be pulled down towards the level of the poorer regions of the earth. This is the real argument even if it is based on a greedy interest in our own prosperity. We have an alternative. We can fight wars against anyone who tries to en ter the United States; in fact, we can fight preventative wars against anyone who might con ceivably enter the United States. Which will be the more expensive procedure, the more inhuman? Of course, it has been argued that the U. S. S. R. would never agree to" a world government even if America did agree to it. Since it is, perhaps, the only al ternative to war a new interna tional conference should, at least, be called to discuss its possibili ties. An international government based primarily on the mainten ance of national rights, a is the k present United Nations govern ment, can no more avoid war and disintegration than could any u.i Buyeumitm uaseu upoi an exclusive consideration of t i i i t j i Sidles llglllfc.

"That sounds all right to me," replied the miners' boss. "I'll ac cept him." Martin looked at Van Horn. "I'll take him," quickly added the operator-spokesman. "Now that we have agreed," Martin suggested. "Why not elect him right here on the spot? You can do so, as the other two trustees."

Such a war is obviously an act of self-denfense. The Russians are no fools. The Truman policies have logically led to the impending 'war.

Easy For Stars Vacations Come By Patricia Clary Hollywood (UP) Movi making these days resembles ,i year-round vacation, in some ways. Take Tyrone Power, for in stance, who in one year travel; to the vacation spots of Mcxieo. Sun Valley and Italy, all ex penses paid and drawing a eoupl of thousand dollars a week be sides. The resemblance to a vacation tons richt there, Power says. He visits the world's best vacation spots, all right, but lie can't g''t a vacation. He works harder than he does at home. "Locations are no vacation," he said emphatically. "You have to gel up early; you have to work hard under uncomfort able conditions." And studios aren't anxious to delay the expensive location stay by giving their stars time off for sight-secipg- Power's location trips are a re sult of the new movie colony epi demic, especially virulent at 20th Century-Fox, of making movies in their actual settings. Critics say it makes them more realistic. "Captain From Castile" took Power to the Mexican resort of Acapulco and other towns for several months. When ho finishes "Leave It to the Irish," he goes to Sun Valley, Ida., the new resort for "That Wonderful Urge." And Foxes" in Italy. Whether the studio will, make the latter picture depends on the outcome of Italy's spring elec tions. "And lhat." Power said gloomily, "will be" aboul lhe least imporlant result of lhe elections." Power's trip to Sun Valley is for skiing scenes with Gene Tier ney. Miss Tierney's a good skier, but Power says he's not. "I'm a 50-50 skier," he said. "I spend 50 per cent of my time on my skies and 50 per cent on my backside."
