No Charge, Please The YWCA, as usual, set a very excellent example during the past weekend when they held two parties on Friday and Saturday nights in the Pine Room of Lenoir Hall. Their parties were given for several organizations on the campus, including Law and Pharmacy students, and the residents of a couple of girls dormitory floors. Comments from some of the men who attended the parties were more than complimentary. They were down right flattery, rich with praise. The YV, as usual, is taking a forward step in advancing the social life of the students, especially those who might be left out of the fraternity sorority life. The only catch to the parties is that the YV was charg ed $25 for the use of the Pine Rom! Why? Possibly, we The only catch to the parties is that the YW was charged $25 for the use of the Pine Room'. Why? Possibly, we realize, there may be good explanations. However, the only plausible explanation we can see is that someone had to be paid to clean up after the parties. Competant sources from the YW tell us that the girls decorated the room be fore the party and moved all the tables and other neces sities necessary for entertaining. They expressed an equal ly willing desire to clean the room after the party. Under these circumstances, and since the series (and we certainly hope they are going to be a series) , is so vital ly needed we can see no reason why the Pine Room should n't be given to the girls free of charge for their use. They have taken a huge step toward lightening the lack of friendship at Carolina and they should be encouraged from every side if possible. The S25 charge that the powers-that-be levy for the use of the Pine Room will not give them encouragement. Strictly on Your Our campus politicos are speeding up their work these days in publicizing their candidates and in assuring the voter that their particular man or woman is the best qual ified to hold the job he is running for. As a result, we're going to have at least three "best qualified' candidates for each and every job unless they can wrangle a double endorsement. It must be slightly bewildering to the scholastic stu dent who takes no active part in campus politics. It must be bewildering, that is, if the non-participant gives a tinkers-damn who is in office. We'd like to make a general suggestion to the voter: If you are sincerely interested in maintaining student government for yourself and your campus, if you are sin cerely interested in how that student government is run, then get out and make an interested attempt on your part to see who you should vote for in ApriL Ask questions, read platforms, study qualifications, and then make your decision strictly on your own. If the majority of the voting students will follow this procedure, then those elected will be those whose policies the campus wishes enforced during the coming year. Entertainment Guide 'Beggar's Opera' Opening Tomorrow Highlight By Vestal C. Taylor With the final curtain closed on the "Foxes" the spot-light shifts up the street to Mem orial Hall for the opening of the "Beggar's Opera." Slated for a two night stand, March 10th and 11th, John Gay's great work is being presented by the combined efforts of five campus organizations. They are: Playmakers, Sound and Fury, Phi Mu Alpha and Sigma Alpha Iota music fra ternities, and the University Music Department. 'The Eeggar's Opera" has delighted countless audiences for more than 200 years. It was written as the outcome of a suggestion for a "Newgate Pastoral" made by Swift in 1716. The play enjoyed re markable popularity from the first, and author Gay set about to write a sequel, "Polly," which was banned throughout England. A doff of the topper to those hard working folks who have made this presentation of the first of all musicals possible. Sound and Fury haas chosen ZD JOYXER. JR. T. E.

Mills Own a creation called "Livin' Can Ee Easy" for their spring show. This new musical was written by Frank Matthews and For rest Covington, with Matthews contributing his best songs from a ten year period of writ ing and Covington authoring the took. These boys have returned to a style of show that emphasizes music and comedy and departs from the dramatic. A commendable de parture, for the musicals we have been seeing in the re cent past have been too slow with a definite leaning to ward heavy drama. Tryouts are scheduled for the opening week of the spring quarter. Speaking of tryouts, it is timely to urge all those who are interested in the entertain ment world to be on hand for all tryouts when parts are in volved that may suit their type or interest. Too often new-, comers to the campus lose heart after their first tryout if they fail to win the desired part. As a result the choice parts available are awarded to Washington Scene -10 Minutes To Idaho! By George Dixon Copyright, 1949, King fea tures syndicate Inc.) This has not been announc ed publicly, because no of ficial timer was stationed along the route, but the Air Force has evidence that its record smashing B-47 left Dayton, Ohio, and passed over Coeur D'Alene, Idaho, ten minutes by the clock before the time it left Dayton. i Dayton is just inside the Eastern time zone: Coeur D'Alene just inside the Paci fic. The plane left Dayton at 3 A.M. and was unofficially re corded over Coeur D'Alene at 7:50 A.M. The three time changes, talking by the clock, enabled it to get to the West before it left the East. This is the same plane that previously flew from Moses Lake. Wash., to Washington, D. C, in the officially record ed time of 3 hours, 46 minutes. Its astonishing exploits have made our scientifically-minded senators very wistful. This wistfulness was inspir ed by Senator Warren G. Magnuson, of Washington, who began wondering out loud in Senate cloakrooms, or wher ever he could get an audience, if speed and space flying could n't be used against the fili buster. "If that plane could only travel West as fast as it travel ed East." he sighed, "I could leave Washington tonight and be back home in Seattle only 46 minutes after the time I started. Think of all the people I could surprise! "The Air Force is still im proving that plane. This prob ably means that, with three time changes, it'll soon be able to land on the West Coast be fore it leaves Washington. "Just think what we could do with a thing like that in a filibuster! Applying the same principles we could have a, filibuster over before it start ed! "We could load the filibust ering senators in a B-47 and let them begin talking. They could orate westward until their tonsils collapsed and not a minute of our precious sen atorial time would be lost!" On the desk of President Truman is a trophy awaiting a winner. The President plans to present it to the one he deems most qualified. The trcphy, a masterpiece in bronze, was turned over to the President by Richard J. Reyn olds, the North Carolina cig aret heir. Mr. Reynolds sug gested the winner be chosen from among those who were loudest for Truman after Nov. 2. The statue is that of a golfer in mid-swing. But, instead of a golf club, he is swinging a bull. I feel no further explanation is required. the same few, over and over, simply because the talent is limited. Everyone who is in terested in displaying talent should stay posted on tryouts and be persistant in their ef forts to win the part desired. To those individual mem bers of campus organizations who feel a gripe coming on about the lack of publicity given their group, it must be said that they will meet with more success if they will take the trouble to make a more concerted publicity effort on their own. Newspaper people are still human and space is still limited. Appoint an in dividual or an organization to push publicity and stress, the importance of same, and the results will be gratifying. It is said that Dusty Moore has had to hang up her danc ing shoes again on the doctor's orders. That's too bad, for she is among the top few in cam pus entertainment circles.

For Bbtr&Btcd fcy EhI Features Syndlcata ' c$ arr&cffcmcat vtih Tb Wuhic? ton stu Round Two Slates Ready, Platform Due CP: Long, Talley, Wil liams Superior Candi dates; A Positive, Con structive Program By Jim Souiherland The Campus party has com pleted its nominations for the spring election, adopted its platform, and completed its campaign plans. With Charlie Long, Banks Talley, and Nat Williams leading a ticket of superior candidates, and a pos itive, constructive program, the CP will conduct an energetic and intensive campaign in or der to assure a victory for the party and for the student body. The keynote of the Campus party platform reflects the bas ic philosophy of the part3' a government of the students, by the students, and for the students. The party campaign and the campaigns of all its candidates will also reflect this fundamental political prin ciple. Every CP candidate feels it his duty to present himself personally to the men and women he seeks to represent. During the coming weeks Campus party candidates will conduct a door-to-door cam paign through the dormitories, visit every fraternity and sor ority house, and speak to all organizations interested in giv ing each candidate a fair hear ing. The CP is confident that it has selected superior can didates and is willing and eag er to place them side-by-side with their opponents. It feels that it knows what the stu dent bodj' wants in its candi dates and asks ory that the voters consider the candidates and the part- with an open and serious mind. If the judge ment of the Campus party is correct, it will win when the ballots are cast. If it is incor rect, it will lose and will de serve to lose. The Campus party will state its stand on the issues facing student government on the basis of careful consideration cf the problems involved, ar.i after an intensive study of the facts. The CP is willing to , stand or fall on its candidates and its platform without wait ing to check the political winds with questionnaires or any sTt of formal poll. The Campus party is composed of capable and sincere students to whom the desires of the student body are a subject of year-round study. The Campus party platform will be given gcr.c-r.l distribu tion in the near fv.ture and ail CP candidates welcome questions about any plank. One of the major iur.cticns of a political party, is to inform the student body on the issues and on the facts behind them. The CP accepts this responsi bility without reservation. Alphabetic Proficiency ntiW'i-lL1 Ji'.MtJMinW'Miil MtMluMlM -m ! 3 x'WW V mi 1 SP: Candidate's 'Pull' Not Important in Nominat ing; Sanders Example of Top-Notch Choices By Charlie Kauffman In making nominations for the offices in student govern ment, the Student party fol lows a hard and fast policy: the nomination of the men and women best qualified for the positions at stake, in disre gard of the highly lauded "po litical expedient" of nominat ing those who have "the best chance of winning." We do not believe it is possible to be working in the best interests of student government, yet overlooking the people best qualified for various office in favor of others, favored simply because "everbody in District 3 knows Joe. He can't lose." Joe may be just that, but if he is not a person of ability for any particular job. he will not get an SP nomination. Joe may very likely not know the first thing abcut student gov ernment, and may care less. He may very likely be a per son of no particular convic tions, perfectly contented to spend a year in office, supposed!;.- representing students, while in actuality heeling to some "party boss." The Stu dent party does not recognize a prospective candidate's '"pull"' in a certain district, or over the .campus as a whole, as the qualification to fill office. Th? very composition cf the Student party allows this pol icy to work undisturbed by small interest-factions. The SP is net a federation of small groups each competing and ar ranging with the others for its place on the ballot. The principles of the Student party are built cn the very ideas that we are neither a feder ation, in which case a tre mendous amount of sacrificing here and there of the best prospects for candidacy is ob viously required, nor a group of individual opportunists, each directing hi? political career toward his own exultation and everlasting glory. We contend that neither cf these policies can possibly result in the best men available being offered at elections to the student b'x-y. Last week the Student par ty again exhibited its policy of nominating the . best man available- for any position when it nominated John Sanders for the position of Secretary-Treasurer. Sanders does not have t'r.2 campus popularity requir ed for "expediency" in nom inations. In this sense he will b? at a disadvantage. Where John Sanders does hold the advantage is in his qualifica tions for the office, and it was on this basis that he was nom inated. Thus, in conducting the campaign for this office, the Student party will do its best to make the superior abilities of its candidate known. UP: Campaign Set to Ac quaint Students with Gordon, Leonard, Wil liams, and Others By Rita Adams The University parry is now launching a campaign to ac quaint members of the student body with its nominees for offices in the spring elections. Over 85 people are working under the direction of Miles Smith, former chairman of the party, to publicize the out standing qualifications of the men and women on their slate. The campaign has been or ganized to provide available representatives for students in every. part of the campus and town. Dave Sharpe will be in charge of the men's dormitory representatives, Marshall Rob erts in charge of those in the men's town area, Nina Mos ley, heading those in the women's dormitories, and Mar ietta Duke, representing the town women. In accordance with the aim of the party to reach every voter and to be of service to him, these people have as sumed a duty to inform the voters of the qualifications of the UP candidates and to ex plain to them the functions of the parly. Through this meth od, UP hopes to make voters aware of the superiority of its candidates and to give mem bership to persons who are interested in the party. Since these representatives will probably be involved in telling students about the of fices their nominees have held and something about their ef ficiency in these offices, it is logical that they now learn something about the personal side of the three top men. Dick Gordon, UP's candi date for president of the stu dent body, hails from Pennsyl vania. He is noted for going about his work in a quiet, ef ficient way, and for his clearly enunciated speech. Coeds of ten think cf Dick as the person who began the investigation of the distribution of their funds in an effort to give them a clear picture of how their money is spent. Such action is typical of Dick's initiative. Vice-presidential nominee Ted Leonard is something of a mutant in the conventional sense cf the word, in that he comes from a Greensboro newspaper family and, yet, lacks those black sheep qual ities often attributed to people associated with the fourth es tate. In fact, he is the type person who keeps on a deter mined path . to complete his tasks well. Deeply interested in politics, he is headed for law school. The Gaw-ja cracker on the slate is Nat Williams, from Thomasville, Ga., the doubly endorsed candidate for secretary-treasurer. Write Away ; The Cardinal Did Plead Guilty re, " on the Mindzsenty case.

On the question of Mindzsenty's anti-Semitism, the testimony of one lone witness, writing in the Jesuit magazine America, cannot be taken as very conclusive. More interesting is tne following AP dsipatch quoting the four leading Hungarian Jewish organizations, among them the Hungarian Zionist organization and the Hungarian section of the World Jew:sn congress- "It is with a great dismay that we see Jewish or ganizations and Jewish men in the field of public life in Western Europe and in American raise their voices on behaL of Cardinal Mindzsenty, the arch-enemy of Jews m Hungary and in Eastern Europe." The following quotation was displayed at the trial m Mindz senty's own handwriting: "It is our good fortune that the great 'reservoir' of Galician and Bukovinian Jews, the millions of the Jewish masses in the ghetto, have as a result of the German war of destruction been reduced to some 500,000." , Mindzsenty therefore, hated the present Hungarian republic which, for the first time in Hungary's history, has given the Jews complete and equal citizenship. Mindzsenty's arrest by the Nazis is also far less dramatic than some would have us believe. He was charged, not with being anti-Nazi, but with hoarding huge stocks of underwear, which happened to be unlawful even under the Nazis. Hans Freistadt A Republican Supporter Editor: It. is really generous of you to admit in this morning's Daily Tar Heel that the Republicans are "right" for one time. May I bring to your attention the fact that the Republicans, with just two exceptions, won the national election each time from 1863 till 1912. The nation must have thought that they were right much of the time then, and in many people's opinion, they are right today. You forget that there is a relatively large number of Republicans on campus and we don't like at all your insidious editorial of this morning! You speak of the Republicans being so seldom concerned with the common man. They are just as concerned with him as the Democratic party is or ever was. You may note that the late "great" F. D. R. did not come from the class that he professed to love so much. He was born in the lap of luxury, while ex President Hoover was just a blacksmith's son. And the man in the White House today is no prize example of what a good Presi dent should be. Most of the time that H. S. T. has been Presi dent, he has been chiefly engaged in such "constructive" acts as calling people bad names that don't just happen to agree with him. Winston Hall V7 'A '2 'A 5 4 18 21 ZZ 23 V.
