Vanderhoof , Carolina Seen Pep Rally Good Idea A new twist to Carolina's greatly renowned school spirit will be tried out tonight. The innovation is the big pep rally scheduled for 7 o'clock tonight in Memorial Hall. Pep rallies, of course, are nothing new here but they previously have all been confined to the night before football games. Tonight basketball has the spotlight, and the University Club has scheduled the rally as a prelude to the all-important State Carolina baskeball game here Saturday night. The Univer sity Club's idea is a good one, and the enthusiasm which the students display tonight can go a long way toward help ing the' team beat State. . ' Basketball is coming into more and more prominence in this state. More national attention is being focused on the Tar Heel state's cage teams, and more kids in this state are playing basketball than ever before. It's a healthful and growing sport. Jerry Sternberg and Frank Allston, University Club mem bers, have made most of the arrangements for tonight's pep rally, and 'an interesting program appears in the offing. They, along with the entire University Club, are to be com mended for their interest in organizing the pep -rally. . r The idea of basketball pep rallies is something new to the Hill, and it is hoped by the University Club that a large number of students will turn out to make it a success. Certainly the students have ample reason to be interested in. tomorrow night's game. The Tar Heels haven't beaten State in basketball in a coon's age, and it's about time Caro lina did something about it. Duke, a team which Carolina has already beaten, proved State can be licked, and the TaV Heels' determination to win might very well assert it self tomorrow night. Tonight's pep rally will be sort of a trial. The DTH sincerely urges all the students to turn out to cheer their team. And it's high time Carolina beat State. A Welcome Addition Those Who Know By Bill. Kellam Mr. O'Teen, have a "cooler, milder Weed. .Thanks, Mr, Reynolds. Gee,. this newer, longer smoking Weed leaves a fresh, clean taste in my mouth. ' Certainly. Nick. Weeds pay more to give you a finer cigarette. At. tobacco auctions everywhere. Weeds pay millions of dollars more than official parity prices for fine tobacco. My, Weeds are so mild. " - . Yes, Weeds are so mild that in a coast-to-coast test of millions "of men and women who smoked Weeds and only Weeds--for 30 con secutive years, noted throat specialists, making daily examinations, reported NOT ONE SINGLE CASE OF THROAT IRRITATION due to smok ing Weeds. : How Mild can a cigarette be?. .' Light up a Weed and find out. Make your own 30-year test in your T-zone. Change to -Weeds for 30 years. Smoke as much as you like but smoke only Weeds. Compare them. See if you don't find Weeds the mildest, best tasting cigarette you ever smoked. I certainly. . . ' " - ' ' Why, according to a nationwide survey: more doctors smoke Weeds than any other cigarette. Three leading ' independent . research organiza tions asked 113,579,000 doctors : what cigarette they smoked: the brand named most was Weeds! I'll go out and buy a carton. What was that you said about a T-Zone? " Oh, the T-Zone. That's T for Taste and T for Throat. See if your easily irritated T-Zone ; doesn't agree that Weeds are the mildest, best-tasting cigarette you ever smoked. WCTU. Did you say Weeds Certainly Taste Unique? i No, I said Weeds Contain Tobacco Unmatched. The tobacco in our newer, longer Weeds niters the smoke, traps nicotine and tar.

If you're bowling with a girl, you'll "score more if you smoke a Weed, the national joy smoke. Really? Say, that sounds great! , Congratulations are in order to the officials of Lenoir Hall who have set up a snack bar in the basement of that building. Located in the Pine Room, the snack bar is open both afternoon and night and makes a 'convenient place to drop by after studying at the library or working out. at the gym. The service is prompt and the food excellent. The opening of the snack bar takes much of the load off : lmnT b a treat instead of a treatment, ., , , , smoke Weeds. But this is no big medical talk, the Monogram Club, which previously was the only con-, Weeds dont try to cure anything but clean, venient place tor dormitory residents to go ,wnen . nunger interrupted their studies.

It's really a mild, flavorful smoke which leaves your mouth pleasantly cool and filtered. Puff by puff you're always ahead when you smoke a richer tasting weed. , ' fully ripe tobacco. Weeds pay the most for the best tobacco that the farmers can grow. ' The snack bar makes a welcome addition to the univer sity facilities for dormitory residents. Coupled with Graham Memorial's main lounge and Rendezvous Room and the Monogram Club, Carolina now has adequate recreation fa cilities for its students. The snack bar is spacious, and there is a juke box for weekend dancing. It goes a long way toward making up for the absence of dormitory social rooms. Short-Cuts and Mud Despite Chapel Hill's mud and rain of recent days, the Your prices - must be , higher than those of other cigarettes. Especially because of the extra length of your fine, mellow cigarettes which pro . vides extra enjoyment plus an extra margin of protection. "v - y Yes and no. Weeds cost less than other cig arettes.

Their importance has been wpll- i illustrated in the past few days. , The planting of new grass over the campus has done ! rhuch to brighten up the dreary winter surroundings. Nearly ;.' every day University workmen may be seen planting the seeds in various denuded plots over the campus. However, they aren't getting much cooperation from the students in their efforts to keep the campus green. Students persist in leaving their nice brick walks to tread across muddy cam pus ground, even as the workmen are just completing their task.of 'sowing the grass seed. Perhaps each student, at best, saves two minutes a day by the' short cuts he takes by walking on the newly-planted grass and leaving the paths. When you consider there are 7,000 students taking these short cuts every day, it's no wonder our campus at times resembles a mud pile. University officials are doing their utmost to make the regular walks serviceable by bricking them and removing the mud rows by planting grass. But if they don't receive : more assistance from the students, they will never succeed. We have only ourselves to blame for the campus mud and grounds of devoid of grass. Tm-f h : ......

So long, and thanks. i A friend of ours once re marked, "If there- is any music in Heaven, it's sure to be string ( quartet." Well, he was a violin ist, and, not without bias, but the thesis in not without its recommendations, ;as applied to chamber music in general. Chamber music is consid ered by many as the most musical and intellectual of all forms, and the position can be strongly defended. Its advan tages are two fold: The com poser must make ' use of first rate musical materials, and , must be 'very consicous of the delicate , s u b 1 1 e t i e s of the ; nuances available with small combinations; as each phrase in every line will stand out in the whole with startling . clarity. Secondly, sthe form de mands active listening from the listener. Here are no lush orchestrations, having at least a sensuous sound if no con tent; but rather,- the essence of craftsmanship,., with th em phasis on the spiritual appeal. A taste for chamber music is not acquired in a day, nor is it easy, particularly for the real amateur, but it can be most re warding. Bruno 1 Walter 'said of the great Beethoven quartets, probably the supreme works in the. form: "It seemsto me they may be the subliraest part of our art." v. . x So we would liketo present three nominations, arbitrary, we hastily admit, for good starting points in chamber music literature, which have the added advantage of good, recent recordings. They are presented in what seems to us their obvious "listening appeal" order only. SMETANAi Quartet in E . minor, (Aus meinem Leben), Curtis Institute Quartet, Co . lumbia album CM-405. Smetana, piqijed at contemporary dislike of this work, stated that"I did not intend to write a .classic quartet, but rather to paint in sounds. the story of my life.", Every phrase he wrote breathed the spirit of his natfve Czecho slavakia, and this is a prime example. "An invigorating mix ture of rhythmic "elan, poig nancy, yearning, such as only a Slav could write. ' The record ing, by r the Curtis Institute Quortet, ; is beautiful. These players went to work as a group While still-at Curtis,, and have; a wonderfully zestful approach to this work For us,, this is one of tha easiest works to listen to , in the literature. There are one are two in its class, but none more easily approachable. MOZART, Quintet for Cla rinet and Strings in A Major; recorded by the Philharmon nia Quartet with Reginald Kell.

Washington. Earlier in this series I expressed the opinion that President Truman knew nothing about the links which some of his henchmen have ith Costelloism and tne gamoung racKtiecrs. I base this opinion on me iaci m. i xms moment. Federal Grand Juries are probing the racketeers in Los Angeles. Miami and in Tru man's home town. Kansas City. ThU investigation includes the new Demo cratic boss of Kansas City, Charles Binaggio. who has carried the town for Truman by re sounding majorities, but who, nevertheless. Was hauled before a grand jury by the Justice Department al the very same time Truman was in Kansas City for the Bill Boyle Testi monial Dinner. Actually, these Grand Juries cannot clean up gambling, which comes under local law enforce ment agencies but they can crack down on nar cotics, income-tax evasions and illegal immigra tion, which go hand in hand with gambling. In fact, Frankie Costello, an Italian immigrant, could be deported to Italy tomorrow if the Jus tice Department wanted to. The important thing about the gambling rac kets, whether they be in Miami, Kansas City, or Fresno,' Cal., is the manner in which they under mine law enforcement. Most people probably see nothing wrong with a $2 bet or with slot machines in a beer tavern. But along with the $2 bet and the slot machines go pay-offs to the police. These pay-offs may be only $30 a week. But when a cop will take $30 a week to protect a gambling joint, he will also take $1,000 to fix a murder case. Once the pat tern of a dishonest police force is fixed there is no boundary line where it can be stopped. " Today in Kansas City only two out of 13 gangland murders have been solved by the police in the last two years. And as a result of the current Justice Department probe in Kansas City, one witness before the grand jury, Daniel W. Robinson, was murdeded re cently.' Another witness, Sam Butler, after being badgered by the gang, committed suicide. The invasion of Costelloism is always slow, almost imperceptible. At first it can scarcely be detected. Nearly always it gets a foot in the door , through heavy political contributions to a candi date for public office. He may be completely honest, but he needs the money and doesn't think twice about the obligations he must ful fill after he takes office. In Kansas City, for instance, it was Democrat Forrest Smith, ru n n i n g for governor backing of the Bionaggio gang. Now that of Missouri in 1943, who accepted the he's in the governor's chair, Smith has no love for the gamblers or what they stand fory Nevertheless, Binaggio's political power is an inescapable fact. Binaggio has even been ad mitted, since Smith's election,, to the secret Democratic caucus of the Missouri ' Legislature, while two Binaggio friends have been named by Governor Smith to the Kansas City Police . In Louisiana, Huey Long got started through exactly the same process. Frankie Costello arrived with a $100,000 cash contribution to Huey"s campaign, iri return for which Huey opened up the state to slot machines. . This looked harmless at the lime, and was the most painless way for Huey to raise money lo . fight the big oil companies and utilities then bent on defeating him. But it paved the way for the most ruthless state dictatorship this country has ever seen. Or take another town which is pretty much "average city-U. S. A." namely, Fresno, Cali fornia. .Here the gambling fraternity used exactly the same technique to put a friend in office, and would have succeeded had they not picked the wrong friend. In Fresno, a shrewd and likable public relations counsel, Robert Franklin, with manifold connections, became the campaign manager for Republican Candidate Gordon Dunn, a newcomer in politics. And it was only a couple of weeks after Dunn's election that he was approached by the man who had helped elect him to "open up" the city to gambling and houses of prostitution Dunn, naive but courageous, refused. How ever, the pressure has continued, with the approaches being almost identical to those made in Kansas City. . Among other things. Lieut. Ed Ellis, a friend of the city's gambling boss, Joe Cannon, was proposed as Police Chief of Fresno. Ellis had been so close to Cannon that the, gambler used to sit in his office and send members of the police force out for coffee with such an air of authority that rookie cops thought Cannon was a member of the staff. Lieutenant Ellis took -the Civil Service exam, along with others, and flunked. But despite this he was still urged on Mayor Dunn as Police Chief. . .Instead the naive newcomer to politics sent one. of his best men, Lieut. Henry Morton, to Washington to train at. J. Edgar Hoover's Na tional Police Academy and study exactly the opposite law enforcement methods from those the gambling fraternity .wanted , Some members of the Fresno Police Force however, continued to be palsy-walsy with the ' gamblers. Only recently, gambling Chief Cannon walked into Tony's Restaurant at 6 A M waving a loaded revolver. . ' ' ..A waitress calmed him down, and unloaded the revolver until the police, could arrive. But when a patrolman did arrive he failed to arrest Cannon because of the technically that the re- SV? the me o his arrival-was not loaded- . Other citizens do not get such lenient treatment.
