PAGE TWO THE DAILY TAR HEEL TUESDAY, MAY 13. : The Campus Forum :tL vve L,Ke iviusic Appreciative note is hereby talcen of the, bands resump tion of its annual spring Sunday afternoon concerts. Judg ing by the number of people seated on the lawn around Davie Poplar Sunday, a great many people, both students and townspeople, are glad to see the concerts start again, and from the amount of applause, all of them enjoyed the music presented. Hubert Henderson, assistant director of the University band, did an able job of directing the musicians usually Jed by Director Earl SJoeum. Another concert will be given "next Sunday afternoon at 4:30 and students looking for entertainment will find the shady lawn of the central campus a pleasant place to spend an enjoyable hour in the company of music. Back to Normal Finally and at last the University's serfs dwellling in trailers, basements, attics and anywhere else that they can find a vacant cubbyhole, may have a chance to get decent living quarters at a decent price. Came the tidings last week that the first of the three rev dormitories is completed, accepted and ready for occu pancy in the summer sessions, and that the other two. will be ready by fall. Each of the dorms will house 230 people, giving 340 cellar-dwellers and commuters from the out lying precincts an opportunity to come into town and live like ciy folks. This, combined with a predicted lower enrollment next year, should provide most students with living quarters within walking distance of classes. The University at last is "getting back to normal" although a much enlarged normal, at that. And Buzzers, Yet With an aim toward aiding residents of male dormi tories in their battle with the terrors of telephone traffic, the University is having a buzzer installed in each room of the new dormitories. CDf course this may be a mere swapping of old troubles for new, because most likely the dorm men will have to work- out a system of using a different number of buzzes for each occupant of a room, and then they'll probably need a two-way buzzer so men on the third floor can signal back to the first floor phone whether or not the wanted person is in and will be down to answer. But it will cut but a lot of running up and down stairs and shouting. The Home Stretch It's done it again. The first it refers to examination time and the second one means 'slipped up on us.' Most of us have been coasting happily along, falsely secure in the thought that there is still plenty of time left in the quarter. Suddenly we realize with a jolt that examinations begin tvo weeks from today. Now begins the run on the library as the mad rush starts to get all. that outside reading done. -Now come the nights with late lights burning in the dormitories as the grind goes on to make up for time spent in bridge games, in dating, dancing, dawdling. Now is the time when ben zedrine sales go up and beer sales go down. - From here on in it's the home stretch. Put the whip to your horses, and the devil take the hindmost! 2T()eDailyiararHeel .my The official newspaper of the Publication Board of the University of North Carolina.

Thus come to the rescue no less f'.an ever-ready late-carousing d Lainer, our central Records Office Director who is never at loss for words, with his impromptu inspira tional second column diatribe "Time Marches Qn." . . . We welcome Marse Ed to the ranks of w reputationless column ists, and look for bigger and better. . . . Then we turn over to page four for daily cherish ed reading of the classifieds. speculate: Just why in the h does Charlie Stancell adver tise for a "Senior with C aver age to pick up golf balls at Charlie's Driving Range???" . . . Mebbe it's (1) Only .such square characters can tell a golf ball from a discarded beer cap; (2) -If there's any Senior with such a phenomenal record now, better he should already and instantaneously spending his time in such creative pur suits! . . . (Job still open!) It does not seem right, that no student views were express ed at yesterday's session of the Executive Committee of the Trustees in Raleigh. . . . The group was to take up the mat ter of current Negro applica tions. . . But their decisions (if any) on this question will mean infinitely more than just ' three admissions or refusals. They should face the whole question of N. C. higher educa tional segregation squarely, and students' views should be (have been) allowed express ion personally. . . . (Pres. Ded mond had hoped for an audi ence with the group but such was not possible.) By Pels Gems "Are you getting an educa tion which you believe to be adequate for your future plans?" Some do and some don't. Theoretical aspects are dilt with to the satisfaction of most, but many pointed out that the practical side of an educa tion is being neglected. Let's see how we fare: "The tools which a .man will use in his future work are here; a great deal lies with the stu dent in recog n i z i n g the value of these tools; to me the instructors here emphasize what a man will need. Let him be the judge of his needs." Henry I. Gifford. "I feel that the college edu cation which we receive is in adequate in that there is need of practical experience along with our preparation." Jo Fishel. "My studies here do seem to me to be adequate to en able me to follow the line of work I intend to enter when I leave here." Ben L. Rouse. "Law school blends the prac tical with the educational re quirements of the state needed in order to practice law. Al tho I plan to farm after leaving school, my law will be of aid in dealing with my tenants." A. M. Britt. "I agree with Mr. Britt except that instead. of farming I plan t The Gripe Corner to work for the Haynes Cotton MiHs." Charles Neeves. "My future needs are all tak en care of." Mrs. J. D. Wise. "There is too- much emphasis put on the theoretical side of our education." D. Smith. "There can be no adequacy of education for future needs in such a short time. The vital material is too vast for such a short time. However, I be-,-lieve that in such a time of : internationalism "time" can be spent in no better way than studying languages and cultures of-other countries." Tom Cun ningham. "Our educational system has lis faults true, but I believe the question should be: Am I doing my very best with the opportunities afforded me?'. The marbles are on the table, it's a matter of picking them up." Jack Taylor. "In one course only." Jerry Darden. " "To get an education adequate for one's future plans he would have to know just exactly what his plans would be. Actually education is something .that should be broadened everyday, throughout one's life. I do be lieve, however, that the edu cation I am getting today will be very helpful to me in the future. Otherwise I wouldn't be here." George Daughtry. "My education will undoubt edly get me a job teaching, but I believe graduate vork at a school like this is largely dead wood footnotes and empty de fining, worshipping absolutism, and damming change entirely out of touch with life- in 1943' Ken Macrorie. "To be successful, a man must be able to fit not on!y into the business but also the closely allied cultural and social worlds. The broad education now of fered by this university is the first step to such successful living." Basil Alexander Wood, Jr. "We waste entirely too much time on theoretical and un practical courses, especially languages. More speech classes, general economics courses for everyone. I repeat: abolish language courses as required subjects." Hurschell Keener. "My undergraduate course is only fundamental to what I'll have in mod school, but every thing I take, especially sciences, helps. I'm really loaded with science courses. Also, now I can take at least one elective every quarter which will help me in medicine, or others which will give me more of a general education." My present educa tion not only prepares me for a doctor but also for a business man." Donald Horton. "I believe that there is too much emphasis on a broad ed ucation which leaves too little time for specialization under the present four-year system. I have no quarrel with a liberal education for those who can afford it, but for a great many students it is merely an an achronism dating from the days when the college student was not expected to work for a liv ing." Allen Williamson. "No Iron Curtain" By Bill Robrt$cn In the final stages of the recent war against fascist bar!. ,-. in Europe the loud-mouthed red-baiter. Dr. Josef V, shouted hysterically that if the Bolsheviks were to cont.r.u- advance an "iron curtain" would descend upon Germany. A ) later, after this vile character had been dumped into the of history, his spirit arose once again as Winston Churchill. , cf a long line of aristocrats, repeated this phrase at Fulton. .V curi to indicate the Western boundry of "Asiatic" power. Japanese ruling class maintains that communism is a prod-vi "Western Culture.") But to get back to that monstrous mechanism, "the irtn c tain", there was a time when it was pushed much farther t East! Like a huge scraper it moved into the suburbs of Svb.v:,.i It worked its way through the rubble inch by inch. Ar. 1 i Soviet soldiers retreated to the beaches they, picked up tr- and held it tightly in their hands. Many of them wept an I that they would return as they boarded the ships which ev. :i ; them under a hail of fire. Unfortunately, "the iron curtain" continued its castwari ment untd it reached Stalingrad. At Stalingrad was I greatest battle of human history- Never was there a battle .., ;i the issue was so clearly drawn and in such epic dirr.t r. it was a battle between the advocates of "the master race t . , ' and the advocates of the brotherhood of man; a battle !xv....n mediaevil mysticism and scientific understanding of the cuu: :' development cf human society; a battle between the past l,:. i t: future. The gigantic mopping-up operation which followed th cf Stalingrad has liquidated the iron curtain forever. Thi re .:.:. remains a "curtain of lies" with which the multi-millionaires ;.r. i billionaires strive desperately to keep the truth from the Ar;,;, can people, (just as earlier the multi-millionaires and bilLna:;. ; in Hitler Germany did likewise with the German people. TI.e destruction of this "curtain of lies" is a strenuous task, ca!l:r,f: 1 .,: courage and perserverance. But it is child's play compared t the efforts which were necessary to bring about the triumph of pi gressive and democratic forces in World War II. By the way, when Josef Goebbels departed rather hurridly fidin this changing world, he left behind a stench bomb in his barratks bag. In case you are wondering what happened to it, there is nr.v a picture showing at the Carolina Theatre, entitled, "The Iron Cur tain." The Public Will. Decide Bearable And Otherwise By Alice Denham Everybody on campus, from the famed DTH editorialists to the Archaeology and Arboret um majors, thinks! Oh, yes, they do. Wfcn they have nofhing else to do, aren't sleepy, can find no one to party with, their mental (more or less) pro cess start clicking. With the rumblings of these mighty minds, lofty opinions are form ed on varied and weighty sub jects, three-fourths of these pondered thoughts being con cerned with gripes, beefs, and what- I-don't-like- about -this-lousy-school. The remaining fourth (fifth would be prefer able!) of opinions deals with things about the school that aren't too bad or at least are bearable. I shall, with realiza tion of the lasting intellectual importance of the overwhelm-: ing task,' endeavor to enumer ate a few of these serious and mighty opinions for your con sideration and judgment. GRIPES AND BEEFS: 1. Lines at Lenoir Dining Hall, which force me to drag ' out of bed at 5:45 a. m. to make that eight o'clock class. 2. Watery . scrambled eggs, same place, which I eat only because my mother told me when I was a child that eggs keep you healthy. I'm still try ing, Mom! 3. Chapel Hill rain, which is so inconsiderate it soaks our tradition-strewed paths. 4. Lack of dogs at the movie theatres. I really miss them when I go to a show. If dogs were allowed in the theatres, they would undoubtedly under stand most of the movies nowa days which are designed for those with a mental age of a four-year-old! And the audi ence could institute dog races up and down the aisles during the showing of the March of Time. 5. Lack of a nearby ocean to leap into. I suggest circulation of a petition to insall one fn the vicinity of the Buccaneer. 6. Telephone booths, because they don't have crossword puzzles or slot machines in them to occupy you while you jestingly play with the dial, knowing all the while m your secret heart that your chances of getting a call through are 100,000 to 1. 7. Athletic endeavor required to reach dorms by coed closing hours, whether tit eleven or one o'clock. Only the Physical Education majors are assured of getting there on time. 3. Coffee spilled in the saucer at Lenoir, which makes you wish you had a soup bowl un der your coffee cup instead of a poor, shallow saucer. 9. Crowds at formal dances. I suggest the A-F's attend the first hour, the G-L's the second hour, the M-R's the third, and the S-Z's the last hour. 10. Food prices (just to be dif ferent). 11. "Game rooms" around the campus, where the boys gamble away their G. I. cheeks regul arly the first of each month. It would be all right if every one could win! 12. Mysterious rooms in fra ternity houses, through which only imports may pass. 13. Cliques of all kinds, be cause they shut off the people in them from .necessary arid educational contacts with the opinions of outsiders and deny outsiders acess to the thoughts and feelings of the groups.

(See ANSWERS, page 4) By Raney Stanford Newspaper off ices are notori ous for being on the receiving end of all . and sundry who who have crusades to win and worlds to save, and even our collegiate rumpus room is con tinually struggling under the load of tracts, poop sheets, and pleas to get on the side of the side of the angels. Among the more intriguing of such items coming in on the postman's back last week was a clever little . publication that on first glance would seem to be a comic magazine of the inexhaustible "Superman" cate gory. But on perusal you find that Superman hasn't been between these covers for some time. The thing is entitled "Is This Tomorrow?" and says it depicts "America Under Com munism", and off they go to the races. The kiddies will probably lap it up; it stays right in the same style as other mags with the same format, only this time it is the Reds who shoot the preachers, whip the school teachers, burn the books, machine-gun the good and terror mentally deficient; but just the same, all sorts of thought trains start chugging off when you pick up the mail and have "Why Fear Sterilization?" leap out at ize the poor. It is printed by a "Catechetical Guild", an apochryphal outfit that exposes its purposes almost as much when its name is spelled back wards as it does when it is read as' written. All this is based on methods Communists, and for that mat ter Fascists and Nazis, have used to control peoples. But this manner of presentation is lurid ly flamboyant and aimed pretty low. "Be American" screams this Guild; don't reason, just get angry, Mac. Hey fellows, how about giving us Superman back, if I remember correctly he used to be a pretty clear thinking guy. . . Another set of pamplets that create an ominous note of a different nature are the ones continually coming in labelled "Why Fear Sterilization?" a cross the front. Now we know . this is the work of meritorious North Carolina group called the Human Betterment League, which is trying to get a more throrough and scientific ap plication of the state's sterili zation laws as regards to the you. I know there's nothing to be afraid of, why fear it, it says; but just the same. Since our eminent editorial ist Sandy Grady has shoved off into the cruel world in search of greener pastures (there was another cliche to go in there but it seems to be misplaced) there is nobody around here to talk with about the merits of Dave Garroway. So I decided to have a go at interesting you in the deal. Mr." Garroway is the clever young man who MC's a musical show over NBC at 11:30 on Sunday evenings, but he first became known for the record show he "jockeys discs" on, as the initiate say, out of Chicago in the middle of the night. This is about the most remarkable record show heard around here, both for the quality of music and, for the amazing line of chatter Jockey Garroway gives out with. Any one interested in catching the hassel can tune in just a shade to the left of WPTF's frequency, 670, Mondays through Satur days, from 12 until 1:30 in tho morning: Garroway is the only man on the air that I know who will play a record of Debussy's La Mer", read part of Eliot's Waste Land", and then spin D'izzy Gillespie's "Salt Peanuts". Won't say the show is better than the sack time, but it's among the few better things. St. Paul, Minn. (UP) Harold Edward Stassen, 41, is seek in ,t the Republican presidential nomination in 1943 with the same strategy which elected him governor of Minnesota when he was 31 taking his stand on issues and then going to the people at the grass roots level for approval. Stassen said that given the issues, the public would make the light decisions. A major tool in his strategy is his own physique, which he drives unsparingly while on exhaustive stumping campaigns. Big from the date of his birth, April 13, 1907, Stassen's six-foot, three-inch frame was conditioned by a boyhood of farm work. His parent., truck-gardeners at West St. Paul, Minn., relied on him to carry on when his father, William, was ill for a year. Opening his political career as Dakota County attorney in 1930, the year after he was graduated from law school at the Univer sity of Minnesota, Stassen drew onTiis farm background in solving depression-born labor strife. He won an increase in milk prices fdr farmers who threatened violence, representing them in negotiations after warning he would prosecute them if violence arose. He settled a seething pack ing house workers' strike with the approval of labor and man agement. ' Youth turned to Stassen when at the ago- of 28 he formed and headed the state Young RepublicanLeague. Youth found a young man whose accomplishments always had come before the age which custom permitted. It found that Stassen was graduated from high school at 14; ran the family at 15; took one college degree. at 19 and another at 22, and became county attorney before turning 23. , In 1929, Stassen married Esther Glewwe, a West St. Paul neigh bor. They now have two children, Glen 12, and Kathleen, C. Stassen was only 30 when he announced, a 3'ear befoi" M:-tf elections, that he would seek the Republican nomination for gover nor. Astonished politicians told him: "Too early; why didn t you wait?" Others were to tell him the same thing in 194G when he an nounced his candidacy for the presidential nomination. People ..deserted in droves from the entrenched Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party. They gave Stassen a plurality of 291,000 votes and in 1938 Minnesota found itself with a 31-year-old gover nor, the youngest in its history. Stassen served three tcyms as governor and made good on his first political promises. He gave the state a labor law that cut strikers' numbers by more than half; reduced the state debt dras tically; adopted civil service for selecting state employes, and re organized governmental administration. At 33, he keynoted the party's notional convention in 1910, and acted as floor manager in Wendell L. Willkie's nomination. While still governor, he joined the Navy and became a captain under Adm. William F. Halsey, serving in the Pacific. The war over, Stassen waited only to December, 194G, to an nounce his candidacy for the Republican nomination for President. It was almost two years before election time, but he ignored the cries of politicians that he was "too early."
