What are you going to do with this education you're rushing off so fast to get? Planning' to get a job and spend your life either making a million dollars or scrimping and saving so you can send your kids .to college to get the same "advantages" you are having now and then sit back and hope the kids make more of a "success" in life than their old man did? Well, if all you do in life is live for and through your children, you won't be the first one. Each generation depends on the next to do the things the generation before depended on it to do, and very few in dividuals in each generation accept the responsibility as their own instead of shoving it off on the next group. What's your object in life anyway? If you can answer that one you can answer what's the purpose of education. Do you believe this world is God's-little green apple or -man's? From one viewpoint man's purpose is to make .the .!, world more like heaven; from the other view the purpose 4 ' is to make the world a better place for man to live in. Either way the object seems to be to 'make this a better world. , , : ; ' i . , In a couple of months or years you'll be graduating from this fair university. You'll be inheriting your share . of the earth, which up until now has been held in trust" " for you. What are your plans for using that share? What are YOU going to do about making this a better world? ...... OKay, Mac. Rush on off and get that hunk of education. Beware of Smear Campaigns It's not hard to tell that this is the beginning of the spring quarter. Everything's blossoming out trees, flowers and political posters. But mostly political posters. All the big candidates have thrown their hats in the ring, while some of the political small fry are still to be announced in their races for legislature, class officers and other posts which are rather hard to see because of the glaring limelight on the candidates for president, vice president and the other top officcc. Election day is not . very far off. In fact, for some of the candidates it's un bearably close. The date is April 5, less than two weeks away. 4 And for the next two and one-half weeks (including the run-off) every tree, wall, door, post, and oh yes, even bulletin boards will be plastered with placards and harid-1 bills crying out the worth of one candidate ernotffef.- "' Other political propaganda may be circulating, but! ifc. won't be posted on trees and bulletin boards. The ugly lies and malicious rumors carried by whispering campaigns never are out in the open for fair-minded students to listen and judge them. They creep along dormitory halls and fraternity house dinner tables, they slink into back-of-the-room classroom sessions and they slip into the book ex over a cup of coffee. The candidates running for the top offices of the campus are almost all men of high caliber. They will not personally start any of the whispering campaigns., They may not even be aware of them when they start. But the people work ing for them, the back-room party-line boysy.the ward ; heelers and the "professional" student politicians will be the ones responsible. We ask now that they think carefully before they insti tute the sort of ugly whispering campaigns such as those - which have blackened hte name of University campus poli tics in the past. We ask them to remember how such cam paigns have backfired in the past and have often defeated the candidates they were supposed to help elect. - And if the back-room politicians and the ward, heelers r will not listen to this plea, will not even listen to their own consciences, then we ask the student body to be wary of the oil-tongued rumor-carriers who are only too anxious to let you in on the latest "inside tip." We ask the stu dent body not only to recognize and denounce the whisper ing campaigns when and if they appear, but to fight them with the only weapon that can defeat them the truth. And maybe, one of these days, one of these elections, the politicians will learn their lesson. to. -ED JOYNER, JR. T. E. HOLDEN Sally Woodhall ..Billy Carmichael 111 Adv. MgT Circ. Mgr. Subscrip. Mgr. Asst. Bus. Mgr. C. B. Mendenhall Owen Lewis ! Jim King .Betty Huston James A. Mills Going?,, There's a new face on the campus her name is Green Thursday, and if you ain't seen her, yet, buddy, you ain't lived. :Green Thursday is the successor to Southern Comfort. Not the whiskey mind you, but the station wagon (and I use the term loosely)'. Southern Comfort was the proud possession of the Pub lications Board and was used mainly by the Daily Tar Heel staff for the delivery of copy between the offices in Graham Memorial and the print shop in Carrboro. Now, there's nothing wrong with Southern Comfort. She's got a good heart and a good motor, her body is just plumb worn out. She gave everything she had to publications, especi ally the Daily Tar Heel. 'Course she wasn't any spring chicken when we got her, but she was ready and willing and dedi cated to the University of North Carolina. Cops chased Southern Com fort and more often than not, they caught her, but this did n't dampen her enthusiasm. She took all the tickets and let her drivers pay all the fines. But Southern Comfort (mercy on her soul) is a thing of the past and Green Thursday is very much the thing of the present. Green Thursday, as far as actual description is concerned, is a green 1949 Chevrolet panel truck. While we didn't know what color she would be when she arrived, one look at her and the name Green Thursday was inevitable. For an ex planation of the name, inquire of a DTH staff member. There are some things, you can print in a newspaper, and there are somethings you can't. Green Thursday has got all the personality that one green panel 1949 - Chevrolet panel truck could have. She was on the campus only two days be fore she took off for a nearby city (some 60 miles) Without permission. She had a driver, of course, but the blame was put "on Thursday. Just like Southern Comfort (may she rest in peace), Thursday has that inevitable ability to take off for the faraway places that Margaret Whiting sings about. Before her complete orienta tion program on Carolina life is complete, Green Thursday will have a fine lettered sign on both her sides and her rear end telling who and what she is. While she isn't named Southern Comfort II, she will still be carrying on the life and loves of her predecessor. If your DTH's aren't delivered on- time, put the blame on Thursday, , boys, put the blame on Thursday. Carolinc-ntics . Flipping Coins Is on the Cuff By Charlie Gibson How would Paul Baynard ever expect an entirely con vincing "Welcome back" from roommate Wellborn Phillips on the weekend that he flew west to woo a W.C. alumna? Not wanting his parents to know of the trip, Paul left a $25,000 airplane accident in surance policy with Wellborn as beneficiary. Roommates are, too, that dispensable, aren't they, Mr. Wadsworth? .. . . Edie Knight cannot decide which is worse having to buy Cokes for everybody whom she matches or having to ex plain what she was doing snatching at Dortch Warriner's pants leg in the Y lobby. Prac ticing the costly art of coin flipping recently, Edie happen ed to land a dime in Dortch's trouser cuff. Quite a rumpus arose when Dortch first dis covered Edie crawling around the floor after him. Then while she mercenarily dug into his leg, this shocked and high ly sensitive soul hopped and hollered for help. No, there is absolutely no hope for coeds' ever becoming more subtle. Distributed by King future Syndicate u-nntfraiant vitk Tb Wajhimrtnn SUv Washington Scene From Filibuster To By George Dixon (Copyright, 1949, King Features Syndicate, Inc.) WASHINGTON Antonio Bermudez, who is heading up the Mexican oil deal, was in Washington but had to leave abruptly. As you know, the deal grants permission to Americans to drill for oil in Mexico for the first time since ah foreign oil concessions were confiscated in the big expropriation of March 18, 1938. But Bermudez, director general of Petroleos Mexicanos, known as Pemex, could not remain in our midst to celebrate the great concord. He had to hurry back to Mexico city to attend the big annual " jamboree celebrating the anniversary of the oil ex propriations. Gad, what a cad! While Sen ator Olin D. Johnston, of South Carolina, was filibuster ing for the Southland, his ton sils got dry and he commanded a page boy to bring him a glass of orange juice. - The lubricant was delivered, but before Johnston could find an oratorical pause Republican Senator William Langer, of , North Dakota, snuck up be hind him and drank it. Note to an unknown taxi driver: that white-haired man shivering without hat or coat you picked up about 4 a.m. in the vicinity of the capitol was not out of his mind except, possibly, temporarily. He was the distinguished chairman of the Foreign Relations commit tee, Senator Tom Connally. No, driver, the eminent sen ator had not run amok. On the coldest night of the winter he was the victim of a lockout. The great Connally had grown weary as the filibuster went on into the night. So he stole quietly from the senate chamber to the lower floor suite of the Foreign Relations committee where he stretched himself out on a couch. The filibuster adjourned at 2 a.m. The senate sergeant at arms and his myrmidons went around locking up. The states man from Texas snored on. He awoke about 4 a.m. and decided to go back upstairs and see how his colleagues were doing. Everything was dark. Moreover, the cloakroom where his hat and coat were deposited was locked up too and he couldn't find anyone to unlock it. That's why yci spw his Ion? blancmange tresses streaming in the wind, driver. And you can understand why he was muttering so ferociously. Senator Allen J. Ellender, of Louisiana, reports some inter esting experiences, in fili bustering. As in athletics, he averred, the conditioned fili busterer gets a second wind. I had a feeling I was back in my sports writing days as the lawmaker described his 12 hour and 21 -minute ordeal. Mr. Ellender talked for all the world like an old bunion der byist. "I was almost dead beat at the end of the first two hours," he recounted, "but a short time thereafter I got my second wind. I was much less tired than after the first lap." Oddly the senator said his feet-did not become tired at al hut. the calves of his legs ached. His biggest trouble, he added, was in preserving equi librium. "J sort of lost my sense of balance," he said. "I found my self swaying. Frequently I would have to grasp my desk to steady myself.' Senator Ellender said he felt no effects whatsoever the next morning, adding that he finished at 12.41 a.m., went home, got a sound night's sleep and was first to arrive for a meeting of the Agriculture committee at 10 the next morning. His only food after the talkathon was six pecans and an apple, although he hadn't had anything since breakfast, which consisted of a sliver cf ham, two wheat cakes, and a cup of tea. "I trained for the filibuster," he said. "Two days before, I began dehydrating myself. Drank hardly any fluids. That gave me the staying power." Senator Ellender said he consumed six aspirin cough drops and six vitamin pills during his speech. "They did something for me," he said. "At the finish I was positively jumping." V You Gotta Eat Professor By United Press PACIFIC BEACH, Cal. Dr. R. W. Kerns has given up the classrooms in eastern colleges and gone into the motel bus iness, so that he and his fam ily can keep up with the high cost of living. Ferns, a native of Ohio, is a Ph. D. in sociology and psy chology and taught two years at Cornell University and ten years at Penn State. But like so many other coir lege professors with their mod est salaries far below those of some industrial workers Kerns was unable to have what he wanted: a typical American family. So after the war, in which he served as a major in the Marine Corps, he and his wife, Alberta, a graduate of the Drexel Institute in Philadelph ia, came to southern Californ ia. Together they designed, built, decorated and landscap ed one of the most unusual and most modern motels on the Lookout Shamrocks for every mem ber of congress were flown here by the Irish government. Replete with roots and moss they were delivered in person by Sean Nunan, the Irish minister. Mr. Nunan was mighty tired after lugging individual boxes of shamrocks to 96 senators, 435 representatives and 1 (one) vice president. But he attend ed two St. Patrick's dinners that night the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick and the Ancient Order of Hibernians. There's life in the Irish. If any hopeful landlords think Congress is going to let rent control die by default, I would suggest they take a look at the new congressional di rectory. Of 85 senators and 300 rep resentatives listed as having Washington residences, 47 sen ators and 181 representatives live in apartment houses and hotels. ' The rest live in houses, but, for the most part, they rent. Only a handful, with sublime faith in the continued devotion of their constituents, have been bold enough to buy. A member of Congress who pwns his own home here is as rare as an actor who hates public ity. The dope is that Congress will incorporate home rule in Washington means that authority reverts to Congress, because Congress runs this town. We don't have any may or, even for wire-tapping pur poses, nor city council, not even a Reeve or Burgess. Can you picture our big hearted Congressmen voting to have'lheir rent heisted? I can't. Swaps Job west coast. They pooled their intelligence, and are now "making all ends" meet by operating their "Surf and Sand"' motel, located right on the Pacific. "It's hard to leave the teach ing profession,'' Kerns said, "but unless we do we can't live in this period of high costs, and raise our three children in the standard that they de serve." A college teaching position with probably a S3,500-a-year salary is all right in "depres sions." according to Dr. Kerns, but it is tough in "times like th?s-?." Dr. Kerns, who specialized of economics and psychology. Even now, he is practicing psy chology to a certain degree. To operate a moteL he be lieves, or a Lctcl, you've got to be something of a psychol ogist. His students, now, are his guests. But Kerns says, as soon as he can afford it he'll be back at teaching and research. Write Awoy Where The Zealots? Editor" aiwavs ready to rise to defend Where are the campus ; zealots W anything.at anytime loudly the rights of all the peqpk to .d;tooyconcrete and Rot anywhere? Can it be that ; ine . eri enough stu abstract enough? Or can u selfishly for an education dents like myself who must flo financing my educa since I know where stand i m J who feel that the tion? It appears that there are" tQ wait unU increase in tuition will affect them. Idont I receive a bill from the University before inability to pay the increase. Since weve in U. Jt (at 6). I might as well throw out a few questions. wm the ncJTv-r course, no announcement be" tQ the veterans admin tuition charges "crease and the charg to istration is out-of-state turtw Shhexce;sdoTer500 or will I the University be Content with only $500. Does any student think his parents look forward to paying the increase m tuition. The editorial of March 2 points up the issue. The only check on the board of trustees, and that only indirectly, is in the Legislature. The Legislature can, by appropriation, remove the need for the increase. Not only students but more important is it that parents of students and all interested and concerned persons in the state must bring pressure on the Legislature if the increase is to be blocked. Don't write Governor Scott. In return for my two page typewritten letter, for the purpose of stating the case of persons of limited incomes, I received a mimeographed copy of the governor's 'Go Forward' message and an unsigned copy of Gov ernor Scott's letter to Jess Dedmond. Concerned students should urge the people of their home communities to record their protest with the legislators themselves. I appreciate having a chance at an education and the help Mr. E. S. Lanier and others have given me and I intend to fight the losing of that chance with all I have. I think we see in operation in this matter the recurrence of a pattern in which the board of trustees regards the means of accomplishment more important than the purpose for which the board was established. The more power the board exercises the farther away from the needs arid problems of all the people it proceeds. John A. Black, Jr. The One Editor: During the many years that I have been at Carolina I have managed to survive many, many editions cf your DTH. By some twist of fate I even managed to live through the year that we had a woman editing the paper (that was when they were either too young or too old I, was a draft-dodger). This year I must however, bread down my hard crust and admit that you are really putting out a fine newspaper. Especially on the first, second and fourth pages. Maybe this good feeling that I am witnessing in myself is caused by the mellowing years that I am putting on, but with the exceptions of when my ulcers are bothering me its you that deserves a great deal of credit for a truly fine paper.
