Night Editor: Roy Parker, Jr. Poor Subject For Debate Student government at the is steadily spreading its fame Recently, Dean of Students Fred Weaver and former Student rady President Jess Dedmond were called to nearby Elon College to discuss the success of our student government before the student body there. ' A week or so later, the students at Elon drew up and approved a new student constitution which is "a replica of the one now in operation at the University of North Caro lina", according to a news release. The faculty members have approved the proposed constitution and it is expected that the Elon trustees will approve it at a Board meeting May 30. Now, Weaver and Dedmond have been invited to the University of Mississippi to discuss student life on the col lege campus. Dean Weaver wilj speak on "Student Govern ment Philosphy". The purpose of the meeting is to rework & program in student government, fraternity and sorority life, honor system, housing problems and other forms of- student life. Students at the University here can take pride that our student' 'government has been so successful and effective that other schools are seeking our advice. It is witfr a touch of irony, then, that students will read of a -proposed debate before the Philanthropic Assembly Monday night for the purpose of debating whether or not student government should be abolished here. One Phi mem ber has been reported as starting that the idea for debate sprang from the action at Elon which abolished their limited government. Before the Phi members plan their debate, they should realize that that argument is a bit ridiculous, since the new Elon government is based on Carolina's. Check Cashing Problem " Here it is the first of the month and again checks from the Veterans' Administration and home are pouring into the campus. And the usual rush is being made to the "Y" to get thoec checks cashed in order to pay bills and buy the necessi ties of college life. Hundreds of students, who have heavy schedules with classes from nine until one and can't get to the bank, must rely on the check-cashing service at the "Y". This service is usually very good and, of course, is very 0 convenient. However, the last few days have seen the check- u cashing window run out of money several times a day. Some j students have been forced to borrow money from friends or bother local merchants, who do not as a rule like to cash checks, in order to get a little cash on hand. If the "Y" check-cashing service would forsee the big runs on their cash, the window probably wouldn't run out of -money as often. As long as people are going to rely on the "Y",and the service continues to be offered, the powers that -Q be should sec to it that enough money is drawn each day to cover the checks that are presented. F.A Reason For If All It seems that yesterday's editorial criticizing the male stu dents for sloppy dressing and praising .the . neat attire of the coeds has precipitated considerable comment. The column was designed merely to express the coed viewpoint on the matter of wearing T-shirts, dungarees, not-shaving, and not combing one's hair for class. But today, one Y-court wag provided the best retort Which the boys have turned up With yet. His laconic answer was, "The women are trying to get married. We ain't!" . DICK JENRETTE B. MENDENHALL C.

WASHINGTON, May 4 After shopping around, trying to find a trap large enough and classy enough, Attroney General Tom annual birthday party for Presi Clark is going to throw his big dent Truman Saturday night in a museum. As previously reported in this splendid pillar of information, the Attorney General had orig inally reserved the 1925 F Street Club for the Presidential natal whooperoo. But, as political heat caused the guest list to expand, he had to search around for more spacious quarters. ' Now it isn't publicized, but there's a museum in this great Capital which the top execu tives of government may bor row for an evening if they can convince the Board of. Trustees the function they are about to use it for is suffici ently. And feeding and feting Mr. Truman is considered of iriple-A priority importance. iThis elegant repository is known as the Anderson House, having bt'en built by Larz An derson, former ambassador to Japan and minister to Belgium, wno departed this life in March, 1937. His widow presented it to the Sons of the Cincinnati, na tional patriotic society, which turned it into a museum for revolutionary relics. It seems only fair that our servants of the people have the use of the place, other than to stare at the old swords, because us taxpayers are carrying some of the freight. Congress passed a law in 1938 exempting it from taxation. The magnificent mansion a palace, really is located at 2118 Massachusetts Ave. N.W., on Em bassy Row, in case you are in vited there Saturday night and want to teli the bus driver where to let you off. Some of the irreverent re fer to it as the "Plow House" because the Sons of the Cin cinnati took ths name from the Roman general. Lucius Quintus Cincinnati, who re turned to his plow after fight ing victoriously for ihe Roman Empire, instead of sticking around to be heaped with honors. If you have been able to ap ply sufficient pressure upon the Attorney General to wangle an invitation and you must be practically a Republican if you haven't here are some of the things you will see' after en tering the white-marble maus oleum: A heroic-sized Buddha in the doorway: 15th Centuiy Flemish tapestries: a set of ancient Ital ian choir stalls: a lacquer and gold box presented by The em peror of Japan (not the cur rent one). - - Gold - encrusted uniforms, cloaks and swords; and a col lection of hats of the world hung at interval:; al(n;4 the rear stair case. The one Mr. Truman threw in the ring last year has not been added to the collection. i,-..x iitiitii m.r ' SAFEST WAV 1" PREVENT THEIt" LAD FUM AMNCMNT DAISY MAE.

That "Little Women" is with out a doubt the number one atrocity to come out of the mill in quite some time. After sit ing through two soggy, cling ing hours because he "wasn't gonna let that movie get the best of him," Andy Shveda an nounced plans for an annual' Margaret O'Brien Day to be cel ebrated by dancing in the streets to the music of Johnny Both well and his orchestra. He seems to think Eothwell and O'Brien would merit one an other. Frank Moore, Chesterfield representative and iminent con temporary of Took'ie Hodgson, took issue with Shveda and de fended la O'Brien with gallantry. What else could you expect from Moore, though, he's such a boor! We understand that the Alpha Gams are looking for a low salaried custodian to keep then swing in good repair. That poor swing must have a hard time:; seems to stay broken about half the time. They might also try cutting the grass. It's getting so tall that when someone strays off the beaten path, they have to send out search parties to find the search parties. For this they'll probably make me cut it. There seems to be some dis scntion in the' Tar Heel ranks between the sports'" "staff and the editorial staff oyer ,thc brief ness of several of the recent editorials. If the condition isn't remedied, Billy Carmichael Bccrology Class Tonight at HARRY'S The Shock Was Too Greaf threatens to follow the lead of those fearless letter writers and under the sports staff heading put, "names withheld by re quests." A member of the other faction keeps wanting to know who this guy Jupiter Pluvius is and why he insists on calling off all the ball games. We hear that the young travel agency budding of Jim Blanchard and Don Latta is on the rocks after certain escapades this past weekend. It seems that they left for the beach early in the morning, but became separated near Raleigh and didn't see each other again for a couple of days. Reports have it that one of the partners smelled salt water as far up as our cap. city and didn't deem it necessary, to continue while others main tain that the Carolina Hotel was mistaken for its boach name sake and served as a harbor in the storm. Whatever the reason, the Lambda Chis are taking steps to prevent the reoccurrence of such a mis take by briefing all members on beach roads before every weekend. In order to settle the contro versy over the KA and Chi Phi fraternity bands (if the latter does have a band.

For the orches tra to know that their perfoi-m-ances bring to people some joy, beauty, inspiration is, no doubt, a source of great comfort and satisfaction to each of them. One wishes that one could express one's gratitude for the presence of so serious an or ganization. It is no use fooling anyone: music is a hard pro fession; few people realizing that even ordinary players in any decent orchestra have stud ied for years and years. It is not essential that one be a musician to get out of mu sic ail that music can give. There are "amatuers," whose joys are absolute, who are such just be cause they listen to the music they want when they want, whereas so often professionals, to a certain extent, take a "blase" attitude towards an art that cannot be approached without complete enthusiasm, without complete love. It is heartening to realize the North Carolina Symphony Or chestra, the very existence of which is living expression of democratic intelligence, refine ment, simplicity. Bryan Bray In case you haven't heard it here is one of the latest making the rounds: Mary had a little lamb, both are doing as well as can be expected. What drives us to print these things? .

Byrd, Virginia's sen ior United States senator was the victim of an undeserved and canine-like attack in the Raleigh News and Observer's edition of Wednesday morning. Apparently looking for the . most odorous name, he could attach to Byra, the Raleigh rag's editorial writer came up with Republican. The provocation seemed to be the Senator's courageous-refusal to be blackmailed by Tom Pendergast's boy Harry, which, to any employee of Har ry's friend Jonathan Daniels, must have seemed heresy. The background of the con troversy is this: Our President became in censed a short while ago al the refusal of the Southland's statesmen to rubber stamp his legislative program. Feeling that he had a man date from whatever fraction of the minority of the voting citizens of ihe last election had favored his planned econ omy and that that mandate compelled him to take orders from Lewis, Petrillo, Murray, Curran, Brieges, and company. Mr. Truman was unable to understand fhat most of the Congress received its support from the non-Socialist major ity of the working people of the country. Accordingly, he reverted to his Pendcrga'st days and, in one of the most shocking statements made by a President since his predecessor declared his inten tion to purge Senators Norris, George, and others in 1938, Tru man declared that the Southern senators would come into line or receive not one drop of the patronage of the Federal gov ernment. Shortly after this proclama tion, Senator Byrd announced that no one including the Pres ident of the United tSates could either buy him off or blackmail him and that he would continue to serve his nation and the peo ple of Virginia not those of Kansas City or New York or wherever President Truman thinks his directors live. If Josephus Daniels were still living, it is doubtful that the News and Observer would ever have printed such an editorial as the one referred to. How ever, his son is no Wilsonian Democrat and would seem to be unable to see the difference be 'S 'ffi " 17 w it " w p ppp 4, 42 45 ir2 Horizontal 11. European mountains .'5. distant 8.

But regardless of one's stand on the program presented by Mr. Truman to the senate, we do not see how any intelligent Southerner can disagree with Senator Byrd's refusal to cheat his state and its people out of honest and true representa tion in Washington in return for a cheap political payoff. Judging from the protests coming from members of the councils and other interested parties, colleague Charles Mc Corkle fouled up a' tad bit his report of the "rumors" surround ing the recent disputed honor case. Specifically, his statement that any decent court would throw out a case of any of the mis carriages of justice he referred to had occurred was sound. However, the student council did just that by entertaining a mo tion for a retrial and then re hearing the case. Student council chairman Dan Bell has made an attempt to round up the other facts tangl ed by McCorkle's report of the controversial case. Pending his report, we won't risk continu ing the flow of misinformation. However, we would like to observe in connection with McCorkle's expressed fear that his "rumors" would sour stu dents on the judiciary that it is just such cavalier disregard of the facts as he exhibited which sours ihe student body on many of student govern ment's operations. But, in any event, yesterday's news story and Bell's report when it comes out will, we hope, clear the air and unsour those students who have begun to wonder just what is going on in the councils. t Nat Williams and Andy Corn ish were-, as this column was being written, preparing a bill to introduce to the Legislature which, if passed, would appro priate about $4,000 to the stu dent activities office for book keeping machinery. Although this is a large ap propriation, it is hard to ques tion its merits. It will lighten the load on Mr. Kear and his associates in the Activities fund office and lessen the chance of financial mix-ups. VERTICAL 1.
