He then discussed the policy oi frcdom of education and think ing in North Carolina. "Differ t rices in opinions are not express cd by tomatoes, eggs or contra fii :tions. The answer to errors is not terror."

In a discussion of student gov ernment and the Honor Code, Dr. Grah-m said, "Students of this University do not want to cheat, not because they are afraid to cheat, but because they want to he honorable."

Play It On The Field "We are all proud of our football team .and rightly so, because it always plays a clean, hard-fought game. It represents our University in a way that reflects nothing but credit upon it. We the students who are not members of the team, do not want to do anything to injure the good work being done by it. "Last year pre-game vandalism was stopped almost en tirely by us, the students, because we realized that the game should be played on the field not with paint brushes the night before. We recognize vandalism as a very serious violation of pur Campus Code, and to that effect, any offenders will be severely dealt with by the council. Any student who damages another university or college's property will be subject to suspension from school.

National Militia For 18-Year-Olds CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Oct. 14 (UP) President James B. Conant of Harvard suggested today that the nation's military needs be filled by enrolling every boy of 18 in a national militia for 10 years. There would be no exemptions except for physical disability, Co nant said, and the military train ing would be obtained in three or four summer camps of two or three months each and evening drill throughout the year. Conant's suggestion was made in his new book, "Education in a Divided World," in which he recommended changes in public education to provide "a greater degree of equality of opportunity for the youth of each succeeding generation." He reiterated his contention that in planning for the future, the United States must assume an "armed truce until at least the middle fifties and a divided world for a long time to come." In this period, he said, Ameri ca will need to train its best men, both lor peace ana war. Conant said - the present draft law was only a stop-gap and that the 10-ycar militia plan was preferable since it would not wreck a college educational year. Education itself, the Harvard president said, must include a "dissection of Soviet philosophy land an exposure of its methods." This, he described as the num ber one educational need at the present time: "We study cancer in order to learn how to defeat it. We must study the Soviet philosophy in our universities and elsewhere for the same reason." book with a few weak spots. ' The Guidebook gives helpful criticism, adding points to the final score for good composition, however not taking points from the score for poor composition. Acquiring 1,600 points, most of them for "excellent" content, the '48 Yack was 11th in the nation, missing the "All-American" rat ing by only 100 points. According to Yack officials, this is the first year that any Yack has received such praise since Dean Fred Weaver worked on the 1932' yearbook.
