THURSDAY, MAY 27, 13 PAGE TWO THE DAILY TAR KEEL By Which We Prkle and joy of most of us here at Carolina is our honor system. We like the feeling that we are responsible enough to look after ourselves, do our own policing. We dislike the proctor system with its insinuation that stu dents are going to cheat and must be. watched. And the happy outcome is that the honor system works much more effectively than the proctor system. When a pro fessor is standing over us expecting us to cheat on a test and watching to see that we don't, many of us take that as license to try to "get away with" as much as we can. When the proctoring is left to us individually, most of us are more careful about cheating against ourselves. Along with its effect on everything else, the war also touched life at Carolina. The navy moved in. Veterans . flooded the school, bringing with them lowored moral values. People began to get worried about the honor system. Now the veteran tide is ebbing. Next fall will see an influx of 1500 freshmen, most of them straight from high .schools. For these freshmen the orientation committee has prepared a week of intensive counseling before school begins. During this week 50 selected counselors will instill in them a respect for the high ideals and practical work ability -of the Carolina way of life. These freshmen will enter the University beleiving, as we do, in the honor system, and because so many beleive in it the system will be stronger than ever. As older residents in the University community we can do much to back up the freshmen counselors by pointing out to new students when the occasion arises that the honor system is not merely a theory expounded by the orientation committee but an actuality by which we live. Send It by Mail Tradition is wonderful stuff, but comes a time when it gets a little outmoded. ' Every year since the first senior received his diploma from this esteemed institution new graduates have donned their caps and gowns and marched off to commencement exercises. Each year each individual senior has risen from his seat as his name was called, walked forward to the presentation platform, taken his sheepskin in his hand, walked back to his seat, sat down. This year between 1,200 and 1,500 students will gradu ate. An estimated 900 will take part in the commencement. First they will line up outside Kenan stadium, a process consuming 45 "minutes. Then they will march in, taking 30 minutes. There will be no speeches, but then comes the roll call. Each individual senior will rise from his seat, walk forward to the presentation platform, take his sheepskin in his hand, walk back to his seat, sit down. Last year the exercises took two hours and a half while seniors, parents and friends squirmed on the cement seats of the stadium and wished they had been born with more padding. Certainly each senior is entitled to his moment of glory, but if and when my, turn comes it will be glory enough to hear my name read as among those present and receive that diploma by mail. A Creditable Job After weeks and weeks of worrying, figuring, and tear ing of hair, the Legislature finally got the budget balanced Tuesday night. And they did a creditable job "balancing it, too. . The bill which finally was approved did a good bit of cutting here and there, with publications and the Debate council taking the lion's share of the slash, but the cuts were not as bad as the ones originally planned, and a certain clause in the bill seemed to give everyone confi dence that by next year they would get all their money anyhow. That clause provided that if additional funds became available next year, the Legislature would as nearly as possible restore to campus organizations their original appropriations' as promised them in the ill-fated former 1948-49 budget. And we all have reason to be lieve (even if each of us has a different reason) that additional funds will show up before the year 1948 has closed up shop. Congratulations and appreciation are in order all the way around for the people who put in valuable hours of time working on a solution to the budget problem, pad ticularly Jack Girard and his Finance committee, and of course Charlie Loudermilk and several other University party legislators who finally drew up the solution which passed the Legislature with very little opposition.

' MSvi i&X H A THE BREAKS J 'if -3 Distributed ly TXtnij Features Syndicate1 fcy arrangement with The Washington Staf Just Here Be Nice Kiddies, Now By Larry Berry When we return home this summer, we go as marked in dividuals; we have been ex posed to "higher education" for a varying length of time. Our actions will have a very pro nounced effect on the number and the quality of future col lege students. At present many of these young devils aspire to an A. B. or B. S. while they perspire at high school desks. Their idea of the University is determined by the behavior of the ground out products they know. I do not mean by this a commerce student who goes around to the grocery store and proceeds to tell the manager how the place should be man aged in order to conform more nearly to the textbook, or an English major who enjoys ap pearing aesthetic through the Wrung from the Press Running MGM's By C. Renyoz With the coming this week of a new movie, "Unconquered," to ' the screen of the Carolina the ater, a new series of pictures with one-word titles has evi dently begun. The last series started out under the all encom passing title of "Adventure," and ran rapidly through "Lured," "Pursued," "Cornered," and "Possessed." You can prob ably think of others to add to this provocative list, but re member to play by the rules "Motherworetights" won't do. We wonder if the new series will make a complete cycle and end in a new show named simply, "Conquered." As yet the serial is like some of its synonyms. It has snap and crackle, but no Pop. And speaking of mothers and tights, did you hear about the One Man's Angle Drink Deep or Taste Not By Kennedy Gammage In answer to the question, "How is it possible that a sys tem, such as Communism could spread so rapidly to all parts of the world?" we considered the types of people to whom Com munism makes a strong appeal, and noted that there were two main categories; the naive and the frustrated. By far the greater appeal of Communism is to the latter group. It may not be evident upon the surface, even as it is often 'impossible to recognize insanity by merely looking at a person so afflicted. Neverthe less, the condition is present. Most often, it is the result of a physical or emotional malad justment to our present society. Helpful Henry use of quotations and a distaste for all about him. At the other extreme nothing can be gained by showing the fellows just how much college has increased your alcoholic in take. They will appreciate your ability, but they will not be able to fathom the reason for classes. The preceding seems to put a curb on our summer's be havior, and I seem to have changed from a columnist to a preacher. Have no fear because you will act as you wish any way, and I only ask you to give that picture of Carolina you believe to be true. With the return to work by a number of students for exams as the quarter comes to an end, why not try to force upon our selves a semblance of obedience to the posted quiet hours. While trapeze artist who caught his wife in the act? We thought we had heard (and used) every excuse pos sible for being late to class, but this morning came the coup de grace. "I'm sorry I'm late,' sir." said the bright student, "but my motor wouldn't start." "Don't you think you might be able to walk to class on a nice day like this?" the prof asked gently. "Oh, I haven't got a car, sir," said the b.s. "I have an elec tric razor!" What we want to know is, "How sharp can a guy get?" We were making a five o'clock run into Dilrham the other afternoon when we noticed a sign on the left just as you enter the city which reads, "STOP, SHOP, SAVE." We know that's what it says In some way, there has been a failure on the part of these peo ple, and consequently a violent swing in the opposite direction, an attempt to rationalize the cause for failure by blaming it upon the system rather than upon themselves. A great hate wells up inside, and a new ( zealot is converted. This frus tration may be channelled in directions other than Commun ism, of course. Perhaps the person becomes an ardent mem ber of the church ... or a pro hibitionist . . or a zealous stamp collector. But there are a few sucked into believing in Communism. Those who have felt the sting of uncharitable fellow men who made fun of their race or color the signs are in the dorms, we seldom bother to read that from 8:00 p. m. through 7:30 a. m. there is to be no loud talk ing or other disturbance. I would like to sign this quar ter off by asking you to think over the field of National Presi dential aspirants and come back ready to defend your man jn the fall. There are many things about these men I think need explaining. Why has the much admired Republican Harold Stassen decided that in a liber al country communism can be outlawed in as absolute a man ner as democracy seems to be in Russia without some of the resulting bad consequences? A number of questions will have to be answered before the American people will be able to vote for a man instead of a party! Gamut because we went back to see, but the first time we glimpsed it out of the corner of our eye we weren't quite sure. "Stop, shop, shave," we said out loud suddenly about a block further down the street, as we tried to reconstruct in our mind;s eye what the sign said. "No, 'Stqn, Sop, Save.' ' S hop, Stop, Stave,' 'Chop, Chop, Shave.' Oh, the heck with it. Let's go back and see how it reads," we finally decided, too dizzy by this time to care much about getting what we went after 'in Durham, anywajr. In case you are wondering why we have used "we" so of ten in this little gem, it's be cause of the fact that by the time we had finished mumbling to ourselves we were seeing two of us. There ought to be a law! and refused to extend to them the hand of friendship are also likely material for Communism, not because Communism can give them recognition, which it does not in practice, but only because they get a chance to get even with those who were unkind. Those, too, who have ly, and who by much reading and little thinking have taken more than they can digest, flock to Communism where they will have to do no think ing whatever, but where their very obedience to a dictator will give them an illusion of power. The advantage of these hates and frustrations is that in Communism, these people can (See ANGLE, .page 4) Write Away Spring Cleaning Editor: Will you present to the student body a problem concerned -a .-;. scheduling use of dormitories in the next few days?

Examinations for the spring term end on Saturday, June 5. h.,t many commencement guests will arrive by that time. Many ,.f them must be housed in dormitories, and these dormitories n.u t be cleaned even while students would normally expect tu be packing. On Sunday, June 6, approximately 75 persons will come intj Stacy dormitory to register for Extension division conference..;. This means that Stacy must be cleaned on Saturday. The same tight schedule exists with regard to the opening if summer school. Commencement is on Monday night, June 7. Stu dents would normally expect to leave their dormitories on Tu. day, June 8. But on Tuesday certain students will be arriving f r the summer school program which begins officially for the pcrur..! college on Wednesday. These students have the right to expert to enter orderly buildings. The problem is further complicated m that Aycock dormitory, and possibly Graham, will be assigned t . women students. If they are to be cleaned and converted, m n must vacate the buildings by Sunday afternoon, June 6. I do not want to ask the impossible. Technically the Univer.Mty charges rent for the term, not for the interim vacation pen. "I. Consideration should certainly be given to our regular student-., especially to members of the graduating class and to their friend-. The situation can be best met by good humor and tolerant c. I suggest that a student who is not graduating should leave the campus as soon as possible after his examinations; that occupant., oi Stacy plan to vacate before Commencement weekend; tli.it men in Aycock who are returning for summer school move into another dormitory by noon on Sunday, June 6; that graduates m Aycock be prepared to move out Monday evening, June 7; th;,t the campus be alerted to reception of Commencement guests and some thousands of students who come here for the summer pn, gram without benefit of orientation. Katherine Kennedy Carmichael Dean of Women The Gripe Corner j Milky Dissension By Alice Denham After hesitating for a week, I decided to find out what it is about the Lenoir variety of scrambled eggs that doesn't appeal to my palate. Are they really watery or do I have water on the brain? The delay of a week in approaching the subject was due to: (1) uncertainty of the most "effective psychological approach, and (2) fear of losing my place in the breakfast line if I dropped cut to make enquiries. The dietician was very cooperative and informed me the scrambled eggs are mixed with milk. She said that the kitchen is open to the public and invited me to enter it. I spoke to the Negro man who was cooking the eggs in a huge ski i let. He asserted that the eggs are not mixed with anything. I repeated the dietician's statement that the eggs are mixed with milk and he repeated his that they are not. In concluding the case, suffice it to say, let every man be the judge of his own eggs. Undoubtedly, the watery taste of the eggs to my palate is due to my outlandish habit of drinking fifteen glasses of water daily instead of the usual eight. During my ramblirigs as a private eye, I also discovered that breakfast is the same price at the Sandwich Shop as it is at Lenoir, and in my opinion it is superior. For a mere 47 cents at the Sandwich Shop, you can devour one egg, two pieces of bacon, grits, two pieces of toast, orange juice, and coffee, while the same meal at Lenoir costs 45 cents. This pleasingly surprised me since I though that although Lenoir may not be the best place in town to eat breakfast, it was by far the least expensive. Perhaps the Sandwich Shop operates without a profit! There is one organization on campus that is not receiving the attention and consideration its past efforts merit. That the Sound and Fury musical comedy group. Although some good writers, composers, and actors are connected with the group, the average student is either disinterested in or ignorant of S & F's activities. The same bunch does all the work and plan ning which entails difficulty in putting on a big production. Perhaps, the S & F meetings and tryouts lack adequate publicity, You don't need stage experience of any kind and you don't have to be among those planning a. career in the theater to join the group. All that's required is a general interest in the slae and you'll be amazed at the fun you have. Why, they even made a temporary actress out of me which ain't easy. My previous stage experience amounted to playing the part of Mercury in the fourth grade! Drop around to S & F. Who knows, you might hear a new joke!
