On Mothers Day
There really was no reason for a specific day to be set
aside as a tribute to the world's loveliest women our
Mothers. For ours is an ever present reverential regard
and homage to the women who labored through early
years, when life's impressions were kindled in stainless
minds, and who now take wordless pride in the images
they have created. So it is that when we salute our Moth
. ers publicly, -as we do today, it is an expression of out
spoken love and devotion meant as a reminder that though
they are never forgotten, we pause in our routine, es
pecially today, to honor their names, to glorify their sanc
tity. ' . - -
.It is to be imagined that even on "her special day", our
Mother's will confine their thoughts to those who are far
from home. Her prayers, symbolic of every Mother's un
selfishness, will be for sons and daughters not present to
share in the day's blessing and tribute.
This Sunday, then, our mission will be rededication to.
one of the few perpetual monuments of true devotion a
Mother's love. Those few words you have written in a
letter, the message in a telegram, the thoughtfulness of a
gift and attendance at a special church service these
are your ways of remembering America's unconquerable
pillar of strength. . B.B.
Objectives For Mr.Dedmond
On May 17, one week from next Monday, the Board of
Trustees of the Greater University of North Carolina will
meet in Raleigh. According to the constitution adopted by
citizens of this campus in May of 1946, one of the duties of
the president of the student body is to represent the stu
dents in all dealings with the trustees of the University. '
When Mr. Dedmond walks into the meeting of the. 17th,
we hope he remembers one of the greatest needs of the
campus today a new student union. Graham Memorial
is doing its best to serve 7,000 students, but the "building and
its facilities are obviously inadequate.
Whether or not the trustees can do anything concrete
toward a new student union to replace the present over
worked one is an extremely dubious question, but the mat
ter should certainly be brought to their attention.
Another thing Dedmond must do on that Monday morn
ing, if he is to fulfill the duties of the office he was elected
to by the student body, is to explain to the trustees in no
uncertain terms that we need and must have a 75-cent
increase in the block fee we pay each quarter. Latest ob
servations seem to point to the fact that Dedmond-does
not approve of the increase, but his job is not to express
his own opinions but the feelings of the student body.
There is nothing more urgent than the need of money
when an organization is operating in the red. This campus
is in the red $6,600 for this year and will be in the red
$5,426.85 more for the 1943-49 budget. Something must he
done, and an increase in the block fee is the only practi
cable answer.
Virn President Jess Dedmond walks into the trustees'
meeting on Monday, May 17, we hope that he will have
two things to present to them the need for a new student
union and an increase in the block fee structure. C.H.
State Your Opinion On The Budget
Suppose y.ou are a veteran and that you get 75 bucks a
month from Uncle Sam. Suppose that $75 is your total
income. That's $2.50 a day in a 30-day month.
Now suppose it costs you 25 cents to eat breakfast, 73
cents to eat lunch and 88 cents to eat dinner. Suppose laun
dry costs you 20 cents a day, cleaning 10 cents, and a room
to sleep in 47 cents, and you allow 7 cents a week for soap,
tooth paste and razor blades. That's $2.64 a day. You're
not going to any movies and you're not buying any new
clothes, but still you're paying out more than you're taking
in.
What would you do? You could quit eating breakfast or
you could wear dirty clothes, or you could start sleeping in
a tent. Rather than do any of these things, though, most
of us would go to work and get some more money.
The Student Legislature is up against a like problem. It
isn't declaring any dividends in entertainment to the stu
dents and it isn't -buying campus organizations any new
clothes, but still it is having to pay out more than it is
taking in. It could make 'the campus go without breakfast
or wear dirty clothes by cutting down appropriations to
student government, publications and other organizations,
or it could make some organizations live in a tent by cut
ting off their appropriations entirely. If the Legislature is
to keep giving us the same quality of government and pub
lications and other organizational activity, however, it
must have more money.
Student fees play Uncle Sam to the Legislature. They
provide its $75 a month. To give the legislature sufficient
funds for operation at a normal level these fees will have
to be increased. After investigating the situation, tjie Fi
nance committee reported to the legislature Thursday
night a bill to raise fees 75 cents a quarter. The bill was
sent back to committee for further consideration. The Stu
dent Council may be called upon to rule on a point of
constitutionality. If the ruling is favorable the bill will
come up for a vote.

Where Oh Where
Has The Ballot
Run Away To ?
By Tom Kerr
Hate to steal this from the
news department, but we
bumped into some strange do
ings over in the Law schooL
From our sources we get it that
the law students chose not long
ago to take a poll for the Dur
ham Morning Herald on their
thoughts and feelings on the
Negroes-in-the-law-school ques
tion. All the conscientious lav stu
dents took their little ballots,
filled out the three questions
including an essay on the race
subject, and, as instructed, put
the ballots in the ballot box.
All was well.
About this time some eager
beaver over there decides to
study late into the night. This
bit of not too trustworthy in
fo came out the next morning
when our local hero claimed
that the ballot box was there
at His 1:30 departing time.
You guessed it. The next
morning the ballot box was
gone. Needless to say, . this
caused quite a stir among all
those potential jurists. So the
Manning hall "Mr. District At
torneys" pulled out their mag
nifying glasses and promptly
set to work.
Now we wouldn't want to
point an accusing finger, but
very unreliable sources let us
know that the Willace club and
the Carolina Conservative club
have alread" een investigated.
South building was given the
once over, and even one of the
Law school's efficient secre
taries was questioned.
No telling what the outcome
of this curious whodonit is go
ing to be, but we take this op
portunity to strongly suggest
an investigation of the Hey
howyou club.
Write Away
Runts And Men
Editor:
May I call our attention to
a typographical error appear
ing in the editorial "... Also
Applies Here," May 7.
The phrase which reads
"American's . . . are deplor
ably ill-informed about their
own government and the men
who runt it," should obviously
have read "Americans . . . are
deplorably ill-informed about
their own government and the
runts who man it."

Graham Memorial
So you find it kind of hard,
after a more - than - pleasant
weekend, to look forward to
Monday? Don't we all.
But if you can manage to
make it through the day to
morrow, . you can find some
mighty pleasant listening in
GM's main lounge at 6:30 to
morrow evening. Beethoven's
Symphony No. 1 and his Twelve
Contra Dances will be played
on the regular recorded dinner
music hour.

Washington The Republicans were right in calling the turn
cn General Eisenhower's use of Army personnel after his retire
ment from the Army. However, it's interesting that the man who
called the turn was Congressman A. L. Miller of Nebraska, spear
head of the MacArthur-for-President movement.
These boys don't like Eisenhower.
Also it's significant that other high-ranking gen
erals and admirals have continued to use Army-
Navy personnel after their retirement. For instance,
Admiral Ernie King, now retired, used not only a

their way to war, have an inclination of doing.

',f- j shing during his retirement were added up it would
,m ' total over a million. Pershing, though retired for
years, continues to be the second highest paid Government official,
drawing a salary of around $26,000 a year. Only the President
or the United States tops him. In addition, Pershing has a colonel
as an aide, plus other Army personnel, and for years has lived at
Walter Reed Hospital.
Eisenhower has a staff of three assigned to him at Columbia
Maj. Robert L. Schulz, an aide; WAC warrant officer Margaret
Hayes and Master-Sergeant Leonard Dry, a chauffeur. He also
draws a salary of $15,751 a year for life from the Army in ad
dition to his salary as president of Columbia University.
Note Pershing, though appointed by Woodrow Wilson, is the
son-in-law of the Republican Chairman of the Senate Appropri
ations Committee, the late Francis E. Warren of Wyoming. The
Republicans now consider Eisenhower a Democrat.
The Social Whirl
Undersecretary of Commecre ' William C. Foster was having
heavy conferences with Dave Austin, vice president of U. S. Sttel,
Aidm. Ben Moreel of Jones and Laughlin, and other steel tycoons '
when a colored messenger brought in a note for the under
secretary. "Ifs very important," he said. "I'm to wait for a reply."
The meeting came to a standstill while Foster read the note
then reread it.
"Take a look at that note," he suggested to the steel tycoons.
It was a message from Foster's wife, explaining that she had
lost her key to the liquor closet. She wanted the Undersecretary
of Commerce to do something about it before a cocktail party
to which she had invited guests that afternoon.
Note Foster sent his wife a duplicate key, went on talking
about the steel situation.
GOP Secrecy
Democratic Congressmen were decidedly Irked with their Re
publican colleague from California, Bud Gearhart, for demanding
that hearings on the continuation of Cordell Hull's reciprocal
trade treaties be held in secret. But their ire was nothing com
. pared with the anti-Gearhart resentment of a group of ladies.
Congressmen Gearhart made the mistake of referring to these
ladies as "sewing circle sisters" who wanted to make "State
Department statements" about reciprocal trade treaties.
However, the so-called sewing circle sisters just happen to be
members of some of the most important . and respected women's
organizations in the country. They include Dr. Bessie Randolph
of the American Association of University Women; Mrs. Arthur
F. Anderson of the YWCA; Mrs. Joseph M. Welt of the National
Council of Jewish Women; and Miss Rose Schneiderman of the
National Women's Trade Union League.
Indignant at the Congressman's decision to hold secret .hearings
over a matter affecting the , entire nation, the "sewing circle
sisters" got off a hot telegram of protest to the Ways and Means
Committee. ' ,
Meanwhile the committeemen themselves were having a fiery
fiery debate behind closed doors over the secrecy ban imposed
by Congressman Gearhart.
"This is an important matter in which the public is getting .
interested," protested North Carolina's Bob Doughton. "The evi
dence should be heard in open hearings."
"We don't have time for full-dress hearings," replied Gearhart.
"If theTlouse doesn't act fast and get this legislation to the Senate
by May 15 the President may not be able to sign it before June
12, when the State Department's authority to make these trade ,
agreements with other nations expires."
"It wouldn't take any longer to hear testimony in open sessions
and you know it," snapped Doughton. "Besides, the State Depart
ment prefers that the hearings be public."
"I would say that you are in a poor position to criticize the
State Department for star-chamber proceedings when you're
trying to conduct one yourself," hotly interrupted Democrat Aime
Forand of Rhode Island.
However,' the Republicans supported Gearhart. The Democrats
and the women's organizations which wanted to testify were
voted down. The trade hearings will be held in secret.
Battle Over Atomic Scientists
You are going to hear a lot about the personalities of the
Atomic Energy Commission before the final debates are over about
their reappointment.
One thing that came out during the closed-door session between
atomic scientists and the Senate Atomic Committee was that
Atomic Commission Chairman David Lilienthal, chief target in
the political brawl, wants to resign after completing one more
year of service. So does his colleague, Robert F. Bacher.

Professor A. Reid Winsey of
DePauw University classifies
students.
"After 15 years of lecturing
in a typical small liberal arts
college, one collects an aston
ishing array of interesting
types. Several weeks ago, after
a delightful dinner of crabmeat
and pickles they all returned to
haunt me:
"1. The athletic ' type The
academic processes hold no
terrors for the hero of the grid
iron. His fraternity brothers
have a complete file of my lec
ture notes and examinations.
It's a rare treat to find him in
class. So nice of him to come.
"2. The playboy type The'
morning after finds him in
class in his roommates shoes on
the wrong foot. He drops his
pipe but never quite recovers
it. I hand it to him after class.
"3. The academic type Prob
ably the most objectionable of
all. The head is attached to the
spine on a hinge and nods back
and forth, during the entire
lecture and the mouth and eyes
utter continually, 'Yes, profess
or. Yes, professor.'
"4. The negative type All
right brother, you put me in
this class now just try to teach
me something. You would put
me in the front row. I can hear
him uttering under his breath,,
'For gosh sakes let's get this
over.'
"5. , The lovey dovey type ,
Must be taken together for
they are inseparable as two
Siamese twins. Hearts and
music, violets and poetry, these
two love birds are majoring in
Marriage and the Family.
"6.-. Camouflage He always
brings an armload of books to
class to impress me, I guess.
The boys are on to him, how
ever, and someone is always
' picking on him. At the moment
he's sitting on a tack and try
ing to get some one's feet off
his back.
"7. The popular type She
had four fraternity pins this
semester, three last, and spends
her class hour twisting the ends
t
of her beautiful hair. This little,
stunt is sure to drive any in
structor insane.
"8. The wholesome type
Wears what every college girl
. should wear, acts like every
college girl should act and
talks like every college girl
should talk constantly. She's
' at it now.
"9. The clock watcher I sup
pose she has wound her watch
three times already. She always
starts shuffling her feet and
putting on her coat about 15
minutes before the end of the
class.
"10. The sexy type This
would-be campus queen just
loves the boys, all the boys, all
the time. She doesn't care what
the other girls think of her
clothes, they're just jealous.
"11. The tardy type Always

middle of your most important
statement. Of course, her seat
is taken and the battle begins
in earnest,"

I believe,) and put all my
troubles and "dre'ams'' on paper.

Several days ago, while going

found the thing and no one
else better than I knows how silly or sentimental
it is. However, with the current world crisis
I thought it might prove something or other
to print the "dreams" of a war-headed soldier
on the third anniversary of the ending of one
particular phrase of that war. The headlines,
from current newspapers, -are added just for
the kicks. Form your own conclusions.)
"We were watching the moon and thinking
of other full moons we'd seen in other places.

days so far from home . . . think and play poker
or read "Pocketbooks". Tonight I was thinking
about Pinebluff and Shorty's mind was recalling
the busy streets of Indianapolis . . . two places
miles apart, but connected now by the little
ward "Home". One is inclined to learn just

Tate Of The Campus
A Coed Makes The Edit Page
By Lindsay Taie
i Today a coed has actually been allowed to
enter the relms of the mighty fourth estate.
Since the Wallace Club and Communists, de
cidedly minority groups, are so well publicized,
perhaps it's time for the coed viewpoint on
campus activities to be expressed.
Financially speaking, the condition of the
campus is in the red. Various and sundry plans
have been suggested by a special investigation
committee and Jess Dedmond. It is to be hoped
that the legislature will not deem it necessary
to carry out Miles Smith's bill to drop the un
derwriting of the literary quarterly. There are
many valid reasons for the Carolina Quarterly,
and it would be extremely unadvisable for the
Student Legislature to override the opinions
of those 1400 students who signed a petition
to sex up such a publication. There seems to
be methods of economizing that would not affect
appropriations already made to the Debating
Council, Speaker's Bureau, and other worthy
organizations. Mr. Dedmond's suggestions to the
Student Legislature seem the most reasonable.
In the legislature, things were pretty quiet
last week. The Smith Bill to drop the appro
priation to the Quarterly and another redisrict
ing bill to "unconfuse the Elections committee"
were the only business. The Election committee
is holding open meetings Monday through Wed
nesday afternoons. If you're interested in being
represented fairly in the legislature, you might
drop around. Joe Lcary is more than glad Id
hear new ideas. Here's a hope that the question
will be settled once and for all or at least until
next year.
Summer plans are growing in every quarter.
Of course, there'll be a host of people back at
summer-school seems they can't bear the
thought of missing a party at Ilogan's Lake.
Others will loaf; some few will be working.
I'm putting in my bid for the Encampment for
Citizenship in New York. It sounds like a worth
while six weeks. See Al Lowensten for details.
After the Sweetheart weekend, the Sigma
Chi seranaded five girls in the Alderman
Kenan Mclver triangle. Three seranades went
to Mclver, one each to the other dorms. Current
saying is, "With men who know their coeds
best, it's Mclver 3 to 1.
The current GM joke is courtesy of Billy the
third. It's unprintable see him.
Commendations and a gold plaque shoM ;;o
to whoever is responsible for resuming brick
laying on campus walks. If the draft roe;
through, some freshman here now may see the
completion of the project. Speaking of the draft,
it's hard to believe that only three years a;;o,
we were speaking glibly of a (quote) lastin;;
peace (unquote).
Academically, mid-terms are over and the
parties have resumed. Might mention that finals
are only five weeks off and an hour or two
now might save a headache later.

She's Agin Editorial Writers
HOLLYWOOD (up) Made
leine Carroll has declared her
own war on editorial writers.
Miss Carroll spent six years
in Europe as a Red Cross work
er in war and in reconstruction.
Nobody can tell her now, she
says, that because she's also
an actress she lacks political
intelligence.
"Nobody wants actors and
actresses to take any interest in
politics," she said. 'T say that
all Americans and I mean all
ought to take an intense per
sonal interest in national poli
tics and world politics as well.."
What touched off Miss Car
roll's storm was a New York
newspaper editorial expressing
a low opinion of movie star
political activity. The political
intelligence of movie stars, it
said, was "very, very low."
Miss Carroll got her half
Irish temper up when somtone
showed her the editorial on the
set of her new picture, James
Nasser's "An Innocent Affair."
"It's so unfair," she sputtered.
"Actors and actresses are just
as profound, as a class, as edi
torial writers.
"This is an election year. I
am an American citizen, al
though born in Britain of "an
Irish father and a, French
mother. I love France. I love
freedom and the institutions
for which we Americans fought.
"This man writing in the
paper wants to write me and all
my fellow players off as poli
tical dumbbells. Who does he
think he is?"
Miss Carroll knows hr-r
qualifications as a citizen. They
include years on the fighting
fronts of North Africa, Italy,
France and Germany.
