It's the biggest country club this side of the Mason-Dixon line "I t won't ever send my son to this school, it's dangerous to moral standards and the great American Democracy." So said one of the summer school visitors. That's okay lady. We hope you're contented in your gen eralities and accusations. We feel only sympathy toward you for missing the basic fundamentals that are present here for your taking. These basic principles are for the plucking anytime you Want to listen to the professors or lecturers. They are in the books you have been assigned and they are being "lived" every day under the name of the Carolina Code. Some of us who have been here call the philosophy we have developed here the "long view" or the "lets-get-along" idea. We know we have a great University on the hill. Graduates for many years past have contributed their strength to the world and to their state. We have developed here understanding of people and their religions and creeds and their ways of life. We have learned how to get along by letting our previous prejudices be washed under by fresh ideas and thereby developing new outlooks upon the human race and its objectives. Some have not been so fortunate, because they have remained deaf, dumb and blind through their years at Carolina. Others like Herschel Johnson, and Dr. Frank have taken what the University has offered and now are contributing to a world in which all of us will live and work. Here's luck to you visitors. Come back and stay with us during the regular sessions. The good of our state, our University and our world is in our thoughts and ideas. This is our chance to learn. It's here for the taking. -Let's not miss it. L.K. Don't You Trust Them, Dean? During the summer months many members of fraterni ties did not return to school, leaving .vacant rooms in some fraternity houses. On the other hand many non-fraternity men were looking for rooms. In the face of this situation five fraternities admitted one to three non-fraternity men, personal friends of their members, to occupy space in their houses and because they did so no member of these five fraternities may take a coed date into his house. These fraternities are excluded from the House Privileges Board visiting agreement which goes into effect this week. It is evident that as long as both men and women students attend this University the two are going to get together for dates. The members of the five black-listed fraternities are going to continue to date coeds in spite of the fact that they can no longer take dates to their houses to dance or to con verse with friends in a congenial atmosphere or to get a snack from the kitchen. They must take their dates else where, but where? The Rendezvous Room of Graham Memorial and the Veterans Club are ideal places, but if fraternity men are forced to use them entirely, they will crowd out non-fraternity men who like to take their dates to these places. There are two movies, always crowded. . Where else? If you have a car you can drive your date out to a drive-in and drink beer. If not, you can get beer in town. If you have a car you can drive out and park and neck. If you don't have a car, the arboretum or the stadium will do. Can it be inferred that Dean Weaver and Dean of Women Carmichael consider this preferable to having a coed enter a fraternity house in which one or two "out siders" are living? On behalf of their members, the four excluded frater nities do not like this situation. If no provision is made for changing it, they will have to kick the visitors out of their houses. On behalf of the visitors they do not like this inhos pitable solution either. A change can be made only after con sideration by the faculty Advisory Board on fraternities and Dean Weaver appears to be in no hurry to call a meet ing of that body. In explaining his stand on the Visiting agreement to the Interfraternity Council, Dean Weaver said in effect: "Because your fra'ternities are closely knit organizations and operate on a principle of brotherhood, we can trust you to abide by the visiting agreement. The outsiders in your houses are a different matter." No provision was made for allowing the less-than-a-dozen resident "outsiders" to sign a pledge to uphold the visiting agreement. What's the matter, Dean, don't you trust anybody but fraternity men?

George is a Character with a capital C. George is a banjo player, too one of the best. He is also a very fine person. But first, last and always George is a Character. George's real name is George. He also has a last name Peg ram but to the thousands of people in Kenan stadium who watched and listened as he played and sang the old ballads during the Carolina Folklore Festival Friday and Saturday George was just "George." . From the time he unwound his lanky six feet plus, topped by a ten-gallon Texas Stetson and garbed in a black cowboy shirt with white piping, from the time he lovingly clutched his five-stringed banjo and stepped up to the stage micro phone, from the time he threw back his head and roared out "That Good Old Mountain Dew," with his right foot pat ting time for his music from that time on George belonged to the crowd. George was good. George knew George was good and the crowd knew George was good and each knew the other knew that George was good, so George and the crowd got to gether and had themselves a fine time. George stole the show. Lamar Lunsford, w-ho was directing the festival, got a little bit irked and the other people who were trying to per form didn't like it too well, but the crowd loved it. They wanted George and George gave them George. It didn't matter what group was dancing or what band was playing, George was right up there in front. He sat in with almost every band that played and in between times he soloed. The few times he was off stage the crowd roared to have him back and George was just as anxious -to get back on stage as the crowd was to have him there. "I want to do a buck 'n wing for them," George said. '"I can dance too." Like Sports Editor Billy the Third said, George has color. Billy , the Third is something of a character himself, and he hasn't any use for athletic teams or people who don't have "color." By Saturday afternoon half the people on campus knew George. Everywhere he went they'd yell, "Hi George".' And George would yell back and wave his big hat. And every where George went he took his banjo case with his precious five stringed banjo. That five stringed banjo was George's pride and joy. "Paid $380 for it in Greensboro," George said. "Yep, $380. In Greensboro. Tell you what. I'll give anybody a hunerd dollars if they can find another one like it anywhere in this part of the country. Yep, any body. A hunerd dollars." Friday night a group of stu dents kidnapped George and took him to the Buccaneer. Saturday he -went to the ATO house for supper. After supper he sat on the front porch with his banjo and sang "Mountain Dew" and "Nobody's Business." He stopped traffic. People came out of all the houses in earshot to see what was going on. Peo ple walking by stopped on the sidewalk. People in cars pulled over to the curb to listen. And winking at the people near him with his one good eye, George gave them their money's worth. "I was good this afternoon, wasn't I," George said. "They liked me out there, didn't they. Did you hear me on the radio? I guess they heard me all over the country this afternoon, didn't they. I shore wish I could hear myself on the radio." "You come up and hear me me at the Asheville festival in August," George kept telling everyone he. talked to. "I'm really going to be good up there. They already told me I'm goin' ter be the star of the show." He prqbably will be, too. Is He M Thomas E. Dewey G.O.P. Convention May Parallel 1920 By Pete Gems REPUBLICAN LEADERS WILL CHOOSE their presidential candidate this week at Philadelphia, at a convention which may run parallel to the party convention held in 1920. Then, as how, T7 rvwvm two maior candidates Were favored. Leonard Wood and Frank Parker trenched with 1 Taft nd Dewey. 8 'Z& . I close fight in which neither side would waver, and Harding, of Ohio, an mitsiriA phanpp roif tn virtorv nn thp 10th ballot. Perhaps someone will pull another Daug herty." Numerous, rumors regarding the selection have been circulated, largely for psychological reasons. Heading the list, and perhaps with an element of truth in it, is the assertion that Stassen will back Taft for Taft's support in the vice-presidential race. Dewey and Warren have been linked by the "guessing gang" for similar motives; in addition, New York's governor has been said to have certain obligations to Pennsylvania's Ed Martin. Regardless of who will win, however, the Republicans will not be likely to impose another darkhorse of Harding's caliber on the nation. Mouthings like: "Not nostrums, but normalcy, not revolu tion, but restoration, not surgery, but surrender, not heroics, but healing" do not appeal to the majority of voters of this day and age. The Republicans are most likely to succeed in electing their candidates next November. The public wants a change as it did 28 years ago. This brings us to another consideration. The Demo crats will hold their convention in Philadelphia in July. Truman should get the nod. Suppose, however, that Eisenhower should reconsider his stand on the issue of nomination for the presidency and should be nominated, could he be elected? We think not. ' The people have just been given a Selective Service act which wrill be in full force ninety days after the affixture of the presi dential signature. The advocates of this measure wanted it for reasons of safety, in this writer's opinion for passive rather than active security, however. The voter; therefore, will be likely to feel that election of a former general to the nation's highest office coupled with the re-activation of the draft would over-balance the trend in our country's government. A VERY UNNECESSARY STEP was taken the other day by Sim DeLapp, state Republican party boss from Lexington. The issue: ratification of Judge Warlick's appointment to the Eastern Carolina district court. Boss DeLapp ran up to Washington to speak in favor of blocking the appointment. The reason: the judgeship is a life-time proposition and was to be held open until the Republicans took office. This sort of horseplay is accepted as sound political principle (the reader may not believe that there are principles in politics) in an election year. It can perhaps be condoned for' positions to be filled on the ICC, FTC, etc. It seems to us, however, that politics should be kept out of the judiciary. Judge Warlick has an excell ent record. We need more of his kind in government. ON THE LOCAL SCENE: It is regrettable that girls attending summer school have to put up with Aycock and Graham dorms. Girl students are kept on duty during certain hours of the day to help relay messages from callers due to the lack of an adequate buzzer system. Students who liVe pn the Eastern half of the first l!oor have to pass the lounge en route to the washroom. It seems to us that this state of affairs could have been prevented. The new. dormitories were ready for occupancy at the beginning of the term and it stands to reason thaVone of them could have been turned over to the girls. We recommend that one or more of the new dorms be used for this purpose next summer. And as we are talking about summer school, we go on record of reprimanding the Coed senate for cutting week-end hours back to midnight. Surely, impairment of health cannot be claimed to be adequate reason for such action. Canton, N. C. (UP) The settlers of this mountain community of 5,000 named their home in honor of the Ohio city which built their bridge. Canton was incorporated in 1891 as Pigeon River, after the roar ing highland stream which drove their power mill. Two years later, however, a citizen noticed the name of Canton, O., engraved on the. bridge which spanned Pigeon River. Canton sounded like a good name, and it stuck. the One? f aMPAGpa-' ; stood perhaps more firmly en their respective following than A deadlock was created after a who had not even been conceded Jersey , By Sergei Burgest and Charlei Odell Be sure to check your radios before you turn them on and try to tune in on either the Re publican convention or the Louis-Walcott fight Wednesday night. Unless you're careful, you're liable to latch onto some thing like this: "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Now we present the feature bout of the evening, the battle for the heavyweight champeenship of the world, be tween . . . Senator Vandenberg, and his notable, opponent, Thomas E. . . . Walcott, the challenger. And in this corner is the world's heavyweight champeen, weighing 204 pounds and wearing purple tights, . . . Harold Stassen. Now coming up onto the speakers' rostrum is Senator Taft ... in white tights and weighing 194 pounds. And now, here's the bell. Louis comes out, looking for Walcott. Walcott looks nervous, he's be ing stalked; Louis is looking for a quick knockout. The champ draws back his fist and lets go with a smashing right to . . . Stassen's final tabulation. Now we can see the delegates from Nova Scotia forming a ring . . . which a quick left jab by Walcott just knocked Louis out of. And there goes the bell, ending . . . Dewey's chances for . the nomination. We Love Southern By Bill Buchan Of all the various characters who eventually wind up on the Daily Tar Heel staff, one perhaps the favorite has never gotten any publicity, and she does as much, if not more, work towards the publication of the paper as any person on the staff. This staff member is a broken-down, but good rumming station wagon named "South ern Comfort". People on the campus who do not know her personally, are apt to ridicule her and make corny jokes be cause of her present condition, but you'll never find a DTH man or woman degrading her in any way. If you haven't seen her, she is a Ford model number un known. Her grill is broken and the hood bends in the middle when you lift it up to take a gander at her insides. Right now the horn is sorta out of fix and blows every time any one steps on the brakes. We contend, however, that that is merely Southern Comfort's way of making conversation. Some But You're Cuter (We usually leave this sort of thing for Tarnation, but just to show you what you are miss ing because we publish a de cent newspaper we are reprint ing this column from the "Rec ord" of Antioch College, Ohio.) By Shelly Piatt Sex is a phenomena that occurs whenever men and wo men of either gender mingle. This may sound hard to believe, but we've got to face facts sometime. The main trouble with sex is that it is so perma nent. There's no use struggling, it's got you and you might just as well get used to it. Standards are rules set up to govern our standards they are NOT rules. This i an import ant point to remember since it is the foundation of practically our entire social system (the region between the digestive and circulatory ones). They were first discovered in pre historic Bessarabia and gave rise to fertility dances which later developed into Council meetings. The main duty performed by standards is to keep people in formed as to just what they are doing in case they , are inter ested. They very rarely are, hence Student Counseling. I have been busy on pro posals that will settle the whole issue. 1. The sponsorship of a "Read a Good Book a Nite" club. 2. Hot laxatives nightly for anyone under twenty-six. 3. Request all women to Joe For President The delegates are in an uproar; there'll be a second ballot to ""vtermine just who will . . . be the next heavyweight champ of the world. Now out of their corners come Taft and Vanden berg. They're in a crucial spot because it's their first chance to . . . land a smash to Louis' jaw . . . Taft walks to the rostrum where . . ..a left to the chin floors him! The ref is counting one, two, three, four, five, six, "seven . . . hundred votes for Harold Ickes as a dark horse! This is startling. Nobody but . . . Gillette's Calvacade of Sports . . . would have polled such a surprising return from the New York delegates. There's a general uproar among the delegates from the South ern states both of 'em the delegates from North Carolina, a young woman, insists upon being allowed to sing "Love for Sale" . .. . to Walcott, who is stepping back from a battering attack on . . . the final returns of the second ballot. The dark horse . . . Walcott reels as the bell ends round four. "Now they're coming out of their corners, with . . . Stassen looking haggard, smoking ner vously, and running his hands through his hair. Taft also looks nervous as he'. . . looks for an opening. Now he finds one and lets go with a long right that catches . . . Dewey without a of the wood around her rear end has rotted away and she has no right front door. The left front door won't open, either, and her roof leaks a little here and there. But aside from that, she's a pretty good looking vehicle. At one time, not so long ago, she had no brakes, no North Carolina license plates and the accelerator had to be pushed by -one man sitting on the floor and working with it. But just right last week, she sailed through the state inspection lane without hesitating. Some people were surprised, but Southern Comfort took the whole affair in her stride. Her only fault is her temper. Thursday, for instance, she staged a fit beside Manly Dorm. Out of a clear blue sky, she popped her fan belt, got her horn stuck and began pouring smoke from under the hood. What she got mad about, we haven't figured out yet, but a quick trip to a local garage and she was in good shape for de livering copy to the print shop and for taking circulation man ager O.wen Lewis on his regular delivery route Friday morning. leave. 4. Request all men to leave. 5. Request everyone to leave. 6. Presentation of gold but tons stamped in blue with "I Abstained" to lucky winners. There they are every one a sure-fire gem in itself.

Comfort We suspect that Southern Comfort is slightly inclined to be jealous of the newer model convertibles and Cadillacs run ning around campus. The other morning, while Lewis was de livering papers in Victory Vil lage, Southern Comfort took advantage of him and when he was checking his route, she bumped whambang into a shiny car parked along the street. Southern Comfort, of course, was unharmed except for some added black paint. The other car, however, re quired $50 worth of repair work. The maddest she has ever been, though, was one day re cently when some joker saw her parked on Franklin street and slipped a very sarcastic note under the steering wheel. The poor wagon was so angry and hurt that she absolutely refused to start for five minutes. So when you see her parked, or when she passes you on the street, please speak to heV in a cordial voire. If you don't, she might fling another fit and we'd never the the papers off the press. Neuter There's an idea with some zip to it. We'll push it with slogans like " You're cuter neuter," "You're a solid sender without a gender," and a host of others too numerous to mention main ly because I haven't thought of them yet. Now is the time to act we haven't got all year you know. Look at the Polynesians.
