PAGE TWO THE DAILY TAR HEEL - WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1943 The Modern lce2Age Among the great geological face-changers in the dim past of history were the solid sheets of glacial ice that crept forward and drew . back again. to. their . polar origins. Land heaved upward and plains were scarred as the ice moved. Increased and lowered pressure wrought cata clysmic destruction which paved the way for the world we know.- The earth and the destiny of man were ir revocably shaped by the grinding of the glaciers.. 1 Today man is creating the destruction formerly at tributable only to nature. The. war of words called the "cold war" is freezing the atmosphere of man's emotions into glacial blocks of fear and distrust the Russian bloc and the Western bloc. If these two blocs come together and begin to grind, once more the face of the world will be changed. The change will be from the heat generated out of war and destruction which will leave no land or hearth undamaged. The universal question in our minds is how can we melt these glacial blocks before they come of such pro portion that we cannot stop them? Secretary of State George C. -Marshall seems to have found part of the answer, and that is to create such strength in the West that Russia and her satellites cannot but acquiesce to the tremendous power of public opinion and force. For it will be public opinion which will bind the West together, and it will be public force because the people will support their governments. , . ' The next step can and may be an economic sanction of .Russia by all members "of the-Uiii ted Nations" under, tHe articles of the UN. A move such as an economic boy cott would prove to Russia that she cannot get along without the rest of the family of nations. The old idea of independency and self-sufficiency no longer can hold true in the world today. L.K. Why the Inactivity? The foreign students' committee (WSSF) has been one of the most notable groups on the campus and its achiev ments in the past have added greatly to the respect of student leadership on the campus. But this - year some thing seems to be wrong within the committee. Already six weeks have gone by and only one notice has appeared announcing the forthcoming WSSF drive. Members of the advisory board called together on short notice inform us that in a meeting around the first of October little was done because of "indecision." Evidently lack of leadership was one of the causes of this indecision. And in fairness to the members who were there, it seems that certain powers did not have enough faith in student leaders; therefore, the students made no moves. We feel that it is time for certain Y bigwheels to learn that this is a campus with student government, and student leadership. We are governed and led by the people not the aristocracy. Whatever the cause of this indecision and hesitation may be, we suggest that the group put away their petty ills and get down to work and live up to the reputation their, predecessors left them. Don't let the student body down and most of all don't let the students in the foreign countries down. ' L.K. Fads And Leaders What starts a college fad? Are they real or arc they just the products of publicity? A few years ago college students were busily engaged in swallowing goldfish or so the papers said. More recently students at Vanderbilt introduced the mello reeney Vootian lingo and you couldn't tell a smoe from a shmoo without an interpreter. Now it's grasshopper eating. A Mercer coed started it as a demonstration in psychology. She only ate one. Then a Macon, Georgia, high school student got into the act. He ate four, pointing to his "school motto, "We Lead." If that's leadership, let's leave it to the high schools. 3fl) c aJattij ilSar Utti The official newspaper of the Publication Board of the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, where it is issued daily during the regular sessions of the University by the Colonial Press.

Poor Charlie Loudermilk. rjas been tanta lized beyond human endurance by a cook book filled with pic tures of lucious, sizzling dishes. Seems he's been on an eggs and milk diet in the infirmary; and the only thing he's had to read is this particular book which Mary Neely heartlessly sent him. SOMETHING'S MISSING! And we just now figured out what it is. What with all the cards, pom-poms, and striped skirts, we almost forgot to ask about Tarzan this fall. Don't know what happened to him, ; but we surely would like to see him back on the field again. LEAP YEAR SPECIAL. Maybe it's on account of be cause it is leap year; and then maybe it's just because she's that good. Anyway, the girls who have been heating Mrs. E. A. Ould speak about such things as selecting mates have raved no end as to what a splendid speaker she is. Sounds as if the Baptist church is mighty lucky to have her here. LUCKY NUMBER SEVEN. So far this season the seven defensive stalwarts up front of Carolina's team have refused to yield a single point to four formidable adversaries. It has been suggested that these seven sturdy gents be adorned with a fancy name commensurate with those of Fordham's "Seven Blocks of Granite" and Duke's "Seven Iron Dukes" of recent years. Carolina's "Seven Anvils" seems to be the most appropriate name so far. EARLY BIRDS get to see the birdie without sweating out long lines waiting for Yack photographers, we hear. It seems that the best time to put in your mug is early in the morning anytime after 9 o'clock. SOB! It is with deep regret and extreme pain that we announce the demise of three of the less familiarly known residents of Carolina Rachel, Rubin, and Illegitimate Bill Watson's three gold fish. A Pepsi Cola bottle fell from the window sill on their glass home and ended the lives of the bowl-bound habitants of 2 Old West. Friends of the deceased are planning to hold a party in their honor, using the theme song "Pepsi Cola Hits the Spot." TRY AGAIN is the only advice we can offer to the unfortunate freshman who wandered up to Spencer last week and meekly inquired if it was all right to come in the dorm if he didn't have a date. Emily Sewell informed him that he would be violating one of Carolina's strictest rules. Before she could explain to the boy that she was only kidding, he took off Jike greased lightning.

( PRESIDENT OF THE) T jC V' "P"' Distributed t7 Kins Features Syndicate bj arrangement with The Washington Star This 'n That Cranberries And Chicken By Bill Buchan "To keep the chicken diet from becoming monotonous, there's nothing like an accom panying dish of cranberry sauce." So reads a section of a letter received this week from the Federation of Cran berry and Chicken Fanciers, of 152 West 42nd Street, New York, 18, New York. The purpose of the new organization, as one can guess, is to take the cranberry sauce away from turkeys on Thanks giving and Christmas holidays and give it to the chickens for use throughout the year. The letter states, "this busi ness of reserving the red jellied sauce for the festive Thanksgiving bird exclusively , and to stick to that convention is not what made this coun try. We need pioneers who will boldly and in public order cranberries and chicken." Emily Post, the "nationally famous etiquette authority" has given her stamp of ap proval to the cranberry and chicken combination and Tru man, Dewey and Wallace, as well as all those running for This Is Carolina CP-Rebellion And Rise By Lincoln Kan In a quiet corner of the old Candlelight room, now the Rendezvous room, a group of determined men met in the early spring of 1946. They were there to line up the policies which they proposed to lay before their party at the next meeting. There was some dif ference between these men and the old line Student party members. The main bone of contention was the member ship of a person whom this secret group disliked and wish ed to throw out of the party. A short while later, the Stu dent party met and the issue came up for a showdown. The insurgent group, ably led by Johnny Jones and Chuck Heath, was ready for a fight. The meeting was rally attended by the Jones' men. The com placent regular Student party men were late. The motion to oust the un welcomed mem ber was made and was about to be passed when Bob Hen ncssee, a new but determined member of the SP who wanted the party to retain the gentle man in question, rose to do battle. He started a good old fashioned . filibuster. Mean while the few older members . of the SP went hunting for - Very Upsetting It's All Congressional and Senatorial offices, are going to be polled as to their stand on this all important problem. Naturally, the results of the national elec tion will rest shortly on which of the three candidates stabs the turkey in the heart and adopts the chicken. What can we as loyal chick en loving Americans do to help this loyal cause? Simple. Instead of budgeting and add ing and buying 50 or 60 cent meals for lunch and supper, we'll start buying $1.10 chick en and we'll ..demand that Lenoir or the downtown res taurants serve us cranberries to accompany it, then, we might send an expense account to the Federation of Cranberry and Chicken Fanciers. (The perfect candidate to en dorse the cranberries is Henry Wallace, for after all, the colors go together so well.) Now, if you want to be downright mean about this thing, you can stop thinking these cranberrychicken people are crazy and realize that they are probably backed by some people who produce cran berries and aren't selling their recalcitrant latecomers and rounded up enough of them to defeat the resolution to oust the person being pro tected. Then the insurgents pulled a Gromyko. They simply walked out. In that way the Campus party was born. The power did not rest long in the hands of the original rebels, because many others realized the SP had lost some thing and were eager to adhere to any party which could offer them aggressive action. Grad ually the authority passed to men of broader vision and less impulsiveness. In 1947 the Campus party made a valiant bid for campus recognition in the elections. They were none too successful. Then in 1948 the leadership fell to the guiding hands of Jess Dedmond and a few other very capable men. Jess drew up his plans carefully, and the CP became recognized as the up and coming party. There was good leadership and sound political thinking. The party platform became one of ser vice to the student body as a whole as well as to the indi viduals. In many cases the planks within the CP platform were quite similar to those of enough except during the holi day season. However, we can forget about their real purpose and consider other parts of their soulrending letter. It continues, "Our desire is to enlist millions to blaze this new path and break an old and out-moded convention. We are serious in this fight and we won't stop until we get every waiter in the country to stop looking aghast at a request for chicken and cran berries." So the letter concludes, "We thought you might want to do a column on this movement of ours. We know that millions who probably feel the way we do but have been timid about doing anything, will come out in the open and hop on the bandwagon." Now all you timid souls can order all the cranberries your big fat middle desires and know you are just one of the millions. In case any enter prising character here is in . terested in forming a "Cran berry society," the address is above. Yours for more cranberry and chicken. the UP and the SP. What the CP had was the new thirsty spirit which builds strong parties. As Jack Worsham, present" chairman of the CP, informed new students in an open letter dated August 2, 1948, "The Campus party is neither a Leftist organization, nor a Rightist organization, but a M i d d 1 e-of-the-Road party. Fraternity, sorority, non-fraternity and non-sorority mem bers are welcomed equally." In the first election held in April 1947, the CP got two seats in the student Legisla ture. The following year, they were able to put both the president and the vice-presidential nominees into office as well as several other men from their party into other im portant campus positions. There is a note of optimism in .the party, not unlike the dewy expectations of the Republi cans. Wc wish the Campus party, luck and hope sincerely that they will toe the line on their promises to keep a non-segregated stand in student politics. We need freshness in an atmos phere grown stale from the hashing and rehashing of old ijsueu. Presidential Comments Conduct Rates an A By Jess Dedmond The title of "Carolina Gentlemen," to which we have long laid claim here at Chapel Hill, now a more real significance. By all reports to date there were no acts of vandalism arising out of the State game nor was there noisy and unnecessary booing while the game was in process. Possibly this was because of the good will campaign carried on by the Student Governments of both campuses, but more likely it is because both State and Carolina students realized the folly of acts which could do nothing but bring discredit and ill will between the two units of the Greater University. Whatever the reasons, the facts were en couraging. Perhaps. the most significant one thing about the conduct of our Carolina student section was its willingness to cheer injured State players in the same spirit that it cheered our own. Many comments were passed about this after the game. Typical of them was: "We really acted as Carolina Gentlemen today." "All we need is to keep up the good spirit." Yes, that's all we need. We should realize that football is a game which once each Saturday focuses our attention and emotions on one thing School spirit. Our student body should, and can, show itself to have the same great spirit -which our team has shown for the last four weeks. While here in the Spring, Kay Kyser stated that good school spirit is nothing more than a channeling of our natural exuberance and enthusiasm into constructive and wholesome channels. With the cooperation of th student body our cheering squad will handle the channeling. Last Saturday our channeling was right, and we demonstrated that we can be gentlemen. Let's keep up the good work. Write Away Rebuttal Beginning Editor: May I furtively usurp a few inches more of your editorial space in which to acknowledge Mr. Bob Debardelaben's analysis (Oct. 16) of my three previous letters? I really don't like to do this I've had my share of space this month. But worst of all, being a hack commercial writer of sorts (and snorts), I customarily sit down at my typewriter with visions of one cent a word dancing merrily in my head. Thus, it irks my Scotch soul no end to be hornswoggled, via blasted idealism and. hope for a better America, into writing a letter to defend a previous one when I should be writing for Super Rabbit Comics and earning a few dishonest dollars with which to buy more pinto beans, russian dressing (awk!) and Super Suds. Mr. Debardelaben has ingloriously exposed me as a member of the Progressive party and a friend of Junius Scales. Further, he has noted that my article states I am a disbeliever in Commun ism and that I am a true American. Actually, if Mr. D. will check my published letters he will find that nowhere did I say I was a disbeliever in Communism or a true American. To disbelieve in something, I think, implies first an understanding of it and, subsequently, a rejection, or negation, of it. Unlike Mr. D., whose understanding of Communism is apparently equiva lent to that of Mr. Capone, at least, I don't claim to understand Communism. On the basis of that lack of understanding, I do not advocate or support Communism, Contrariwise, and on the same basis, I do not advocate the persecution of those who do. Mr. D. refers to both Al Capone and myself as true Americans. I resent the classification. If Mr. Capone was a true American, then I'm a subversive rat, because that ain't the brand of Ameri canism I was reared up on. Claude V.
