PAGE TWO THE DAILY TAR HEEL SUNDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1943 Time Out For Thought "The world is too much with us. . ." A moth-eaten quo tation, but true. And true here at the University as well as elsewhere. Constantly surrounded by friends and aquaintances, pressed by the demands of classes, studies, work, social affairs, extra-curricula organizations and innumerable other activities, alone only when a book or magazine momentarily shuts out the surrounding hub bubstoo few of us ever make the effort to get away from the world for a quiet talk with ourselves or our God. We drift aimlessly along the path our associates and activities direct and never take time-out to consider where the path leads or to chart the course we intend to follow. Here at the University with its crowded conditions of living and its multitude of diverse interests to attract us, it is admittedly difficult to find either time or place for such self-consultation. But here at the University and at this period of our lives are the place and time when we should take time-out to re-evaluate and make concrete our beliefs and to set the goals toward which we strive. We need occasionally to get away from the hustle and bustle of the world for a period of quiet self-analysis. We need the opportunity to relax, to slow down from the rush of living so that we may readjust our values and start again, refreshed with a clearer concept of our purpose in life. Word to Rushees The end of two weeks of rushing comes tomorrow when rushees formally pledge themselves to the fraternity of their choice. Between two and six tomorrow afternoon rushees will pick up their bids at Gerrard hall. Full in structions on pledging procedure will be found on page one of today's paper. If a rushee does not receive an invitation to join the fraternity of his first choice, he may do one of two things. If he feels that he will not be happy in any group other than the one he has selected, he may refuse other bids and ask that fraternity to consider him again in an in formal rushing period. However, if he has received a bid from another fraternity which he likes almost as well as the first, it is usually more advisable for him to accept it. Men who have found it hard to choose between several fraternities should bear in mind that they are under no requirement to pledge tomorrow. If they wish to take more time before making a final decision, they are free to do so. Most fraternities after once issuing an invitation are glad to hold it open at the recepient's request until he has made up his mind. The fraternity system can be either an asset or a detriment to a school, and if it becomes a detriment it deserves to be eliminated. While fraternities are primarily social organizations, they have on this campus taken on the definite responsibility of promoting the general wel fare of the University. Fraternity life is not confined to parties alone. In pledging themselves to a fraternity to morrow new members should realize this and be willing to exert themselves for the betterment of the University and of the whole fraternity system as well as for the betterment of their own fraternity. Time of Decision One of the bitterest presidential campaigns in recent political history will bo- culminated Tuesday when the American people go to the polls to elect their national leader for the next four years. Speeches and statements , filled with charges and counter charges and a great deal of ambiguous balderdash aimed at getting votes rather than clearing issues have almost obscured any concrete proposals set forth by any candidate. . Nevertheless, we, the people, must choose, a president. Moreover, we must choose a party, for regarless of his personal ideas, he is the representative of his party and as such must adhere . to the general policies of his party. : Choosing a leader for a nation with as great an in fluence upon the affairs of the world as the United States is a serious undertaking at any time, and the present time with its problems at home and abroad is no exception. Therefore the selection of a president and a party to di rect the course of the United States is a tremendous re sponsibility upon us, the voters. We here at the Universtiy are not excused from this responsibility simply because as students we are still in the training period of our lives. It is our personal opinion that Harry Truman and the Democratic party and the Democratic party are the best candidates for the leadership of our country, but it is not the purpose of this editorial to expound that opinion. It is our purpose here to point out that regardless of po litical defief all students eligible to vote should shoulder their responsibility and exercise their right on Tuesday.

Phil Stone had some very nice things to say about the Caro lina student body Thursday night after the concert: "I'm a Southerner, and proud of it; I'm going to a southern school, and I'm proud of that; but the thing that makes me swell with pride most is the ovation rendered Miss Scott tonight." We're proud too, Phil. TRIPLETS. Did you know that ADPi has not one, nor two, but three teams entered in intramural competition? There's that ratio again. INTERNATIONAL RELA TIONS.

Each member is to assume that he is President of the United States, and come to the meeting with his personal pro gram to promote world peace. Politics and the individual's political affiiliations will take a back seat, while the mem bers offer some constructive plans for obtaining peace. Proposals for immediate ac tion by the United Stales cover a wide range of activities, both ideological and political. Quite a number of outstanding Amer icans feel we should "call Russia's hand" at once in re gard to the Berlin situation. They believe Russia is not prepared for war, and that a strong move by the U. S. would force Russia to retreat on the Berlin question and thus give the U. S. a victory in this phase of the cold war. They think once Russia has given in on one point there would be little aggressiveness from her for some time, and thus peace would be obtained. However, such a program presents two grave aspects. First, there is the possibility that Russia might not give in, and war would result. And second, even if Russia did give in, the result would only be a temporary peace by vir tue of U. S. military superior-, ity. It is a permanent peace that is needed. The peace program of the Spcialist Say An Attitude Toward Life By Kent Erickson Please permit me simultane ously to compliment and sup plement Mr. Lowenstein on his excellent support of the So cialist candidate, Norman Thomas, in Wednesday's de bate by the Di. ". Social problems may be ap proached in two ways. One may think in terms of how men can best regulate social forces, or one may consider how these forces in turn regu late mens' thoughts. Many of us are vaguely aware of a certain monotonous similarity among the major po litical parties (and you may include the Dixiecrats). Per haps this is due to the fact that they all pursue the first approach to the exclusion of the second. Try to recall the atmosphere characteristic of three major speeches delivered recently in this area. President Truman at the fair last week created the ' impression that the safest poli cy is to stick ty the tested The Last Round-Up 1 j-V .A Of.-gy' TS V rrJ-.rrVT-Z in i W " ' W I 1 1 I I I i l i i Ml H m United States must have two objectives. First is the secur ity of the United States in the immediate future. In order to do this we must maintain a reasonably large military force and the atomic bomb until some more satisfactory way of handling national and world security is settled upon; they must not be considered as a method of securing lasting peace. ! The second objective must : be establishment of a world or- ganization with power to main tain peace. Present methods open to the United Nations, re ; quiring action by nations 1 against other nations to stop aggression, are inadequate since, in the final stages, this action is war. Peace is not maintained by war. Thus the problem can only be solved by strengthening the United Na tions into a world government. Government is necessary, for only government can make laws and enforce them. As John Foster Dulles observed, there is no international law for the United Nations to en force now. The Security coun cil acts, not in accordance with justice and law, but in the in dividual national interest of its different members. Given government and law, the Se curity council would have something to enforce other than the national interests of the member states. The United States must work for a General conference of the United Nations, at which time amendments should be of formula of the Democratic party. Senator Taft a week ear lier defended the Republican domestic policy as an attempt to keep the machinery of free competition well oiled. And still earlier this month, Gov ernor Thurmond told us that local vs. central authority is the most important issue of this campaign. Each party asserts that if its policies are disregarded, a restriction of our individual rights will result. The implica- ' tion, however, is that such a development will be against the wishes of the majority. Thus such adjectives as "fas cistic" and "undemocratic" are among the most popular epi- thets of the day. Contrast with this the sec ; ond approach to social prob lems. This approach, for in stance, does not examine capi talism, discover merely that ; power . accompanies wealth, J'i and then call for anti-trust 'Viaws. It sees more, namely, that a system based upon human fered to strengthen the U. N. The General Assembly should be reorganized so it could make laws binding upon in dividuals rather than nations. Representation in the assem bly should be based upon pop ulation and educational and industrial deYelopment of the different nations. Legislation should be by a majority, with no veto power for any nation. The Security council should become an administrative agency to enforce laws made by the assembly. There should be established world control of the atom bomb and of the dangerous phases of atomic energy. Inspection forces would insure that no nation or individual made un authorized use of atomic en ergy. All heavy armaments should come under the control of the world police force, which would operate under the Se curity Council. Only light arm aments necessary for the in ternal policing would be re tained by the individual na tions. The International Court of Justice should become the ju dicial branch of the world government, with compulsory jurisdiction over disputes be tween states andor individ uals which endangered world peace. Under a political structure such as this, the peoples of the world could move forward to ward that goal of Christian brotherhood which would af ford an enduring basis for world peace and prosperity. cupidity is not a system pro ductive of a healthy mental at mosphere. Freedom, tends to becomes a measure of what you managed to get. Power as a concomitant of wealth likewise assumes added signi ficance, for inasmuch as men desire wealth, it has power over them. Now let us consider domes tic affairs, which Mr. Lowen stein dismissed (and perhaps rightly) as not being of pri mary importance. It is in this realm that Norman Thomas appears as the only candidate with a viewpoint broad enough to encompass both approaches to social problems. Unfortu nately, however, the general public's viewpoint, like that of most political parties, remains highly objective. From such a viewpoint, socialism has the appearance of being merely another newfangled method of regulating social forces, and any argument such as the one you are now "reading becomes incuniprtlifiiiiiblc. VegetariorrVittles Jump on the Cart By Jack Robinson The other day on this page a column which called itself Republican Report apologized for its late arrival on the po litical scene. This column merely apologizes for its arrival, but but it goes the Republican Report one better in expressing the sentiment that its absence has contributed no less to the stu dent's knowle'dge of the political issues confronting the nation than previous political columns. This column, had it arrived earlier, might well have eliminated the need for all the mad collvums good DTH readers have had to dig through in search of the right party to pledge their worthy allegiance. It seemed the opinion of the political writers that each and every other party but their own has been feeding the voters bum steers. Let it be clearly stated here that our party the Vegetarian Party has never once been quilty of giving anyone a bum steer. The Vegetarians promise, above all else, if their candidates are chosen for the countries highest offices, our good country will be free of bum steers for good. This is more than a promise, it is one of the pillar platforms of the party. The Democrats and the Republicans talk of inflation. Neither have offered sound solutions. The Vegetarians promise action on this all important problem. With the Vegetarians in power meat will be only something the commies eat. The cutting of meat prices . entirely, by the Vegetarians, will eliminate that inflationary commodity from the American housewives' worry. And the American farmer. How he will benefit from a Vege tarian landslide! The fat war years which put the farmer back on his plow, when looked back upon, will appear in comparison to the days under Vegetarian administration as lean as a $1.25 per pound stsak. What other party has dared make this claim? What a political battle this has been! The Democrats say that Dewey is but a lamb in the Wall Street manger; the Re publicans retort that Truman lacks the liver required for good leadership; and the Wallacitcs beef about everything and every one but the, biggest ham of them all. Meanwhile, as expected, the Socialists and the Socialists-Laborites continue to show plenty of mutton, while the Dixiecrats persist in making a race Of it. ' One thing is certain, there are plenty of hams running for office. A vote for the Vegetarians at this time would seem most timely. The time is late but never too late to jump on the cart with the Vegetarians. Ours is a party which has been steadily grow ing in strength. There has been no threat of party breakup, such as the Democrats have experienced. The declaration that corn-pone would be made the national dish if the party tastes sweet victory in November has completely won over the south ern block to our side of the table. Further evidence of the growing Vegetarian movement can best be supplied by your local butcher. See you at the poles, Ol' beans. Write Away s ummary Is Liked Editor: The Executive council of the Baptist Student union has di rected me to express its appreciation for the feature which you recently instituted as a regular part of your Sunday edition, in which you include a summary of the religious events avail able to students during that day. The informal way in which it is written is an asset which we would like to recognize as extremely effective. ' Allow me to add my own personal satisfaction in seeing this report, and I trust this emphasis on so vital a part of campus activity will not only be continued, but will also be expanded.
