Tomorrow Chapel Hill will be literally taken over by visitors. Many will come to witness the Blue-White football classic in Kenan Stadium, but the vast majority, 10,000 in all, will be high school students of this state visiting the University in the annual High School Day festivities. High School Day at Carolina is certainly one pf the most important events of the year as far as the University is concerned. Each year the most outstanding students in the state visit Chapel Hill on this occasion, and usually they go away with glowing opinions of Carolina. The favorable im pression made at this time probably has prompted many stu dents to attend Carolina in preference to other colleges. Thus, every effort should be made to provide proper enter tainment for the visitors. In many states, the state-owned universities have little competition for the outstanding high school graduates. How ever, such is not the case with Carolina. Each year many of the - best scholars in North Carolina make the other state "schools Duke, Wake Forest, and Davidson their choices for continuing their, education. Carolina obviously has many advantages over the other state schools, both from an academic and .physical stand point. A more concerted effort should be made to acquaint high school graduates with these advantages. The crowded conditions which ' prevailed in the state colleges just after the war are gradually diminishing, and with this comes increasing competition for the top students. More programs such as the High School Day affair tomorrow are in order. One suggestion would be to invite the students with the best averages over to Chapel Hill some weekend as guests of the University. There are endless possibilities for entertainment, such as tours of the planetarium, Woollen Gymnasium, the library, and other interesting points on the campus. Carolina gets its share of the scholars, but with a little effort, even more of them could be attracted to this University. Big What's been going on lately at old Chapel Collich? You'd be surprised to know the true scoop of last weekend's May Frolics success. . . . When a number of disheartened colleg iates saw their parties threaten ed by nasty weather, a delega tion of students led by Nelson Taylor stormed the Weather Bu reau and negotiated for the sun shine. It seems the bribe in cluded a bona fide invite to all the P J parties at Hogan's! 'Then, there were those who thought the weekend could be most enjoyable at the beach. One Charles Vernon met a delightful conversationalist at the Surf Inn a Polly parrot by the name of Polly. Charlie would converse in intimate words of "Hfello Pollyl" where upon, the parrot would reply. "Hello Charlie Awwk! Awwkl'r Did you know that there was a parrot in the Lon don museum named Robert who laid an egg at the age of 127 years whereupon the Bobbies changed her name to Roberta.

What are you doing to them, Norm? Recently there was a fire that gutted out a colored home in Chapel Hill so that everything was totally destroyed. At the suggestion of Becky Otter, the girls in Mclver dorm took up a collection and went shopping with the six little girls of the family. After purchasing little dresses and toys, the troop ended up at Sutton's Drug Store for double dip chocolate ice cream cones. One little girl named Marie got more chocolate down the front of her dress than in her mouth, and it took B. A. Austin' a long time to repair the damages. After Valkyrie Sing the other night, one of the black faced Chi Omega chorus girls was overheard giving her dale a hard time.

Fiendish chuckles have ac companied the dark secrets of Tha WASHIIIGTOH SCSIJla By George Dixon (Copyright, 1949, King Features Syndicate, Inc.) WASHINGTON, April 28. Secretary of State Dean Ache son was nowhere near ready to reveal our government's new policy -on China when the big story broke. The untimely dis closure provides another fantas tic illustration of how highly confidential stuff in the Nation's Capital suddenly becomes un confidential. Acheson- was sitting on the thing like a mother hen in a , wolf - infested neighborhood when Senator Pat McCarran, of Nevada, came up with his aid-to-China bill. The measure would involve $1,500,000,000 for that country, and also use of our silver to revitalize the Chin-, ese monetary system. , The Secretary of State de cided he needed some help on Capitol Hill to squelch the Mc Carran Bill so he wrote a letter' to Senator Tom Connally, of Texas, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, outlining how he stood. To make it perfectly clear to Connally, the Secretary of State went the whole hog. "There is no evidence." he wrote, "that furnishing .of ad ditional, military m a 1 e r i a 1 would alter the pattern of cur rent developments in China. ... such a move as proposed in the McCarran Bill would involve this country in'an un dertaking so great in magni tude it would almost surely be catastrophic." The president of a Rhode Is land silver company wrote Sen ater Theodore Francis Green, of that state, asking how the Mc Carran proposal would affect the silver business in this coun try. Senator Green turned the query over to his administra tive assistant, Edward J. Hig gins, in the routine course of business. Still following routine, Mr. Higgins wrote the State De partment, asking how Secretary Acheson stood on the McCarran bill, , etc., etc One of Acheson's assistants handled the query. He looked through the files to see if the boss had put any views on the subject into writing and found the letter to Senator Connally. It seemed to cover the matter, so he sent a copy to Senator Green's office. Mr. Higgins, anxious only to be of service to a consti tuent, remailed the copy to the silver company president. The latter digested it and a couple of days later mentioned it to a fellow on one of the Providence newspapers. This fellow decided it was news. That's how it got back to Washington and out to the world. the plans for the beeg Carnival this Friday nighl. ... it is rum ored about that the Chi Phis are really going to have a squir rel shooting game, the Phi Delts a penny-pitching booth, and the Kappa Alphas a sidewalk cafe. These surprise fire drills are enough to drive a coed mad! During the latest one, a house president reported a most suc cessful evacuation of her dormitory with one casualty. It seems that one girl wouldn't be awakened even if it were judgement day, and conse quently would have roasted alive if a real fire had broken out. One helpful suggestion was to borrow the gong the Valkyries use, at tapping and run through the halls scream ing, "Foo Man Choo. is loose in the dorm!" Wasn't it .a shame that due to lack of coordination of cam- pus activities Dr. Polgar's magic show was scheduled for the same night as the Carolina Independ ent Coed Association's fashion show. Although a lot of care and preparation went into the fashion show by CICA and the Chapel Hill merchants, the show was a financial failure besides being poorly attended.

Feature Syndicate 1 fcy arrangement with The Washington Star- LETTERS TO THE EDITOR EVIL DISGUISED Editor: Reverend Dr. Samuel Tilden. Habel in a recent editorial hails the end of an age of "rash and ruthless iconoclasm." Modern : man symbolizing this icono clasm, is depicted by Dr. Habel as being forlorn and lost in the r immensity and imperceptibility of the universe. Modern society as such seems to him empty and devoid of value. One must agree , with the -Reverend, Uhat these are chaotic times in man's moral and spiritual history. It is najt- ural also that man, sensing this mora? abnormalism, should turn to his religion, not just for com fort, now, but for understand- .- ing as well. For he knows that, : irrespective of its qualitative values, religion is the greatest of moral forces. Today, the common man sees himself in perspective. His men tal playground covers not just his home and church commun ity, but the entire world around him. And upon seeing it all before him, he sees also himself in the midst of it. Is it so un natural that in a world of such . diversity of belief and custom, that one man, seeing himself beside another, should compare his lot? And is it so Unnatural 4-hat in comparing -his' lot' with ; that of .others, that -man should : find this or that one or his own, lacking? '. ' , ' - . ' :': This is the,attitude.TOfyWhich you speak',. JDr. Habel;kjLt is. he critical attitude and the one Iby ; which man, unavoidablyigw- j ing this or. that , oujcasttjsjate, ' seeks to liberate himseirSand ! others. This critical attitude,' the outstanding feature of modern man, is not purposefully icono clastic. It seeks only to fulfil those new needs that man finds co-requisite with his increasing mental scope. That a man should in turning to his religion, now, find it lacking, is only the proof of his sincere desire to better mankind. Many of us, who today turn with this attitude toward the church and what it represents, find it sorely laeking. And be cause of its- great influence up on bur children who cannot yet judge its values, our critical attitude at times takes propor tions of the extreme. But we who would strip off every taboo and sacred alter, even though , sometimes acting in extreme, are not the "lost" ones; we have ' in the truest sense found our- i; selves. ! We now know that this crit- 'j ical world view that modern man possesses did not give riseH to the chaos that seems to exists in the world today, but that! on the contrary, the chaos that fervq Citanca So ?arrorm ! ' . . i. ' , ; ' has arisen preceeded and pro voked the attitude that we now have. The purpose of this at titude is to find the real causes behind the chaos, and to re move them. Many of the causes are seen to be ideologically con tained in the church doctrines. But it is too ironic that one of the world's greatest evils should come disguised as its . greatest good. Leif Morgan CONTINUE PRACTICE . Editor: . Though recognizing -.the ;ie- ; vitable fruitlessness of those who attempt to interpret spirit ual matters in physical terms, I should nevertheless like to yrge you, Mr. Editor, to con tinue the practice of having a local minister write the edi torial in Sunday issues. Crit icism of this by J. R. Cherry Jr. serves only to prove its worth and need. Dr. Habel should be careful to note that Mr. Cherry repre sents only the smallest type of minority and has even seen fit to include Sen. Frank P. Gra ham among those whom he has attacked. To such a person, tru ly, there can be no area too sacred for infantile criticism. We were fully acquainted with Mr. Cherry's opinion of organized religion during the month v ' following; Religious Emphasis; Week;bul had hop ed tSath realized, by now that . hs&Ws on practically ' any -lield are ot sucn a oigoiea nature and represent such a mall minority thai he would wlse-up'and shut-up. It has been fairly evident since Mr. Cherry's first letter that he views nothing objectively, approaches everything with a predetermined conclusion, and thinks he has a sort of option on ultimate truth. Mr. Cherry should realize that what he is doing is neither especially noble nor beneficial, nor is it being heralded as such. Crackpots have always damn-1 ed, criticized, and ridiculed men who strive for the betterment of mankind. It takes' more than the ability to criticize, more than an average' concern1 for human welfare, an ,-unbounded love for people to give one's whole . life, to the serving of mankind. Truly,- it is the lives of men like Dr. Habel.that make this world a better place to live. Extremism in any direction is dangerous. Endeavoring to show men the way to a sensible, purposeful life is certainly worthwhile ' "in our confused world. Waller McCraw SOMETHING SACRED Editor: (In reply to Dr. Samuel T. Ha bel's editorial of April 24, en titled "Something Sacred") Something sacred you seek, Dr. Habel? ... I have it! Some thing more meaningful to me, more worthy nd more prec ious than all your religious rit uals, something truely sacred life, itself. Even you would have it, . as I and all men. Can we not put a bit of our faith in man himself? Is it not our primary duty to aid man in the mastery of himself and his surrounding universe? Yet do we do this by continually preaching to man that he is no more than a weakling, de pendant upon an "Almighty" for sustenance? Do we improve man's lot by urging that he crawl back into the mother's womb and eternal sleep? Sir, do not tempt us with Death. We tire and would die cow ardly. Rather, teach us to have faith in ourselves and to make our own way. Teach us to honor, a bove all things, this life we now possess. Impress us with the sacredness of our own being, if you would have something sacred. Then man truely will not treat life so lightly and revere death so highly, as he now does. Could a beneficent God deny us our freedom? These four lines, I think, best express what I would like io say: Of men we know; of gods we but surmise, And one thing's true indis putably A faith in mankind and with out disguise Tends more to life than all re ligiosity. John Brock TAYLOR CRITICIZED Editor: As a man who has been read ing the Tar Heel for about 10 years, and who by some coin cidence enjoys it I find great fault in one of your current columnists, who parades under the almost unbelievable name of Vestal Taylor. : In his column Wednesday Mr. Taylor with thumbs hooked in his vestal continues to set him self up as an expert on the local theater scene. He had the air of putr if action about it. Per sonally most of my friends and T prefer Mr. Wink Locklair, who spends more time telling you authentic information about the theater and less time telling you of the authencity of Mr. Lock lair. Personally I would rather be hoodwinked than taylor made. Name Withheld by Request - Mouth - This Game Golf By Jimmy Rutherford The local golf course as well as the other putting grounds around . the .vicinity, have .been fully occupied during the past week due, no doubt, to the fair weather. I wonder if they have been busy in the daytime? I have heard that one student amorous in attention took his ' girl out on the links one starry night and got teed off. Another one - got apprehended ' by the police for reckless driving. When you're out on the green you can't afford to be. Like the rest of the students around here, I have become in terested in this game of golf. A game where the ball lies poorly and the player as welL During the past week on a sun ny afternoon, I decided to try my luck on the local links. Ar riving there I saw an old friend of the family who had a young daughter who was an old friend of mine. I inquired about his health and politely asked about his daughter's golf. He told me she was going around in less and less every week. I don't REASON EXPLAINED Editor: I feel that I owe it to every one concerned to correct the erroneous impression created by the rumor that I "walked out" on the rehearsals of Le Med ecin Malgre Lui. There has been' no jquarrel between the director and me merely a misunderstanding as to the interpretation of the. role of the wet-nurse which I was rehearsing. When I tried out for the part, I was under the impression that the classroom version of the play was to be used. When the director insisted that the orig inal unexpurgated version was to be played "to the hilt," my sense of propriety compelled me to withdraw. I am not a prude, and I ad mire the comic genius of Mol iere. However, it must be ad mitted that in certain bawdy scenes he violated good taste and even common decency. Anyone familiar with the un cut "Doctor in Spite of Him self" must agree with me. Jean Riden 22 1 : I. -W: WM " rT7T iiiiiiz-ii : III - m.

What they say about the lan guage at the golf course is true. I know. One ship captain's par rot who used .to swear as bad as a truck driver with a flat tire was reported to have drop ped dead orr the links the other day. That is no place for the children. One exasperated golfer took seventeen strokes coming out of the rough; seventeen strokes not counting one apoplectic. The caddies out there don't help matters either.. Everyone of them try to be a jokster. Whenever they go out with me, they don't carry a watch but a compass. I would have knock ed one guy's block off but I didn't know what club to use. I told one of them that he was driving me out of my mind, and he said that wouldn't be a drive but a putt. I would have dismissed that smart alec right then, but I didn't know the way back. I would like to warn all golf ers now about those caddies. Everyone of them is a thief. They'll swipe every new ball you bring out on the green. Take my word for it. Don'Jt putt it past them. Golf is a great game for the professionals. It is also a dang erous game. I had to hit my dog out there once. He wasn't mad, but then he wrasn't so pleased either. In closing I would like to relate this little tale I have heard on the fairways. This is a story of a man who came back from practice so visibly excited that his friend in the locker room asked what was wrong? "What's wrong?" was the bit ter retort. "I just killed my wife. That's what is wrong!" "Holy smoke, how did you do that?". "I was out there practicing and didn't see my wife come up from behind me. I took a back swing and hit her on the head, and she dropped dead." "Gosh that's too bad! What club were you using?" "A niblick," mourned the golfer. "That's the club," said his friend happily. . 2. eggs 3. strays 4. catcher's masks 5. malt drinks 6. bombycid moths 7. note in scale 8.
