The bulletin boards loaded with campaign posters which greeted students this vcek on their return to school were the tipoff on what isto come. Daring the heat of the campaign tempers will flare, and many students who are friends now may find themselves at odds with former friends before the campaign is over. Vet rran political observers will tell you that there hasn't been an election in their remembrance in which there was no mud slinging, creating a corresponding rise in animosity. The spreading of rumors and other forms of mud-slingirig not only have led to a termination of many friendships in the past but have always served to confuse issues. The races all too frequently .become contests between personalities rather than capabilities. This is not to say that personality is not a necessary qualification, rather there should be more emphasis placed on previous experience and enthusiasm for the job. Therefore candidates should watch their step in the next . two weeks by steering clear of all campaigning that smacks of mud-slinging. A spirited campaign is desirable; however, all claims should be based on fact. But every effort should be made to avoid making enemies while one is in the process of winning votes. Student govern ment leaders are all too few as it is, and petty campaign feuds may result in a loss of valuable men to student government. The loser in the past has made a habit of just taking it easy after election time, usually, however, because of campaign differences with the winner. One more word to the candidates before the campaigns' get into full swing. Care should be exercised in placing of posters to see that they do not result in more trash for the janitors to clean up. Candidates usually have far more posters printed than they have need for. And consequently they are placed in every remote corner of the campus. Candidates should also remember to take down their posters immediate ly after the election. a Q. m U n o c EIGHT varieties of l CVXISY MAE.-"- ITS YORE FWV-TREE-OT1CK ) 1 t I WHAT fS IwPTTvMAHTZ CX30TY rMARPry OP WIF HIM'"' T-' YOUR SV. itf ANSWER.

Past President Bill Roth and Present President Charlie Bart lett said that the money would be applied to large list of pro jects which APO is currently studying. The money will be used as good projects are found. Approximately $757 was tak en in during the week and a half of voting. Of that amount, $539.23 remained as clear profit with the balance of the money going to cover expenses of the contests, including $77 for en graving and $70 for the three trophies to be presented to the finalists. The pair of APO prexies went on to enumerate five big projects which the organization will undertake in the immedi ate future. Included in this program is money to furnish current maga zine subscriptions to students in the infirmary, funds for two new bulletin boards to be set up in the YMCA in the next few days, funds to ship books to three Phillipine Universities, money to purchase supplies for four first aid stations in Kenan Stadium and additional funds to set up an emergency relief station to work in cooperation with the Red Cross in case dis aster hits the Chapel Hill vi cinity, y This all sounds like an ambi- bitious program and for the first time APO will have enough money to successfully carry out a program of service for the campus. Said Roth, "It might take six months or a year to use all the funds in the best possible way. As we find good projects, we'll use the money." . Bartlett added that the orga nization had discussed the pos sibilities of using the money for some big headline campus pro ject, but had abandoned the idea when a worthy project was not forthcoming. "We thank the students for backing us in the contest," Bartlett said in summing up, "and we hope that they will be pleased with the work we do in the future." The PrE NOW JOHN WHAT GREAT ' ORGANIZATOM i r 5 ESTABLISHED 1VF Aj177m , l , AND VTEJZAHS Distributer! by King Featnr by .rransement withVe' W hte" LETTERS BLOCK FEE Editor: The referendum on' the block fee raise was quite a disap pointment. It is deplorable when there are not at least one half of the students on this campus interested enough in their student government to vote in a referendum of any sort, much less one concerned with the raising of the Block fee. Never-the-less there is no excuse for such requirements as were included in the referen dum. It is completely undemo cratic to count those who do not vote as being in favor of the question being voted upon. The referendum was unfair, completely unfair, and .a Tar Heel editorial every, day for the rest of the year cannot prove otherwise. Furthermore, the fact that AH HOPES TH' WORLD Wl!l FO'GIVE ME. AH BELONGS T'LI ABNER WHETHER HE WANTS f 67 - MiIIion - DoIIar Answer! r-.-i J. www RED TO THE s such a bill was passed seems to show that its U. P. spon sors are afraid to allow the students of this campus to have their say in campus affairs. .The editorials of the Tar Heel seem to be U. P. propaganda pages for the most part. First there is an editorial "Another Light Vote" (March 8). In this editoiral it is stated that the Tar Heel editorial deadline is another entitled "They Will Yell Today About Vote." This editorial seems to have been written after the results of the referendum were known as it closes by saying that those who would be yelling loudest are. the, ones who failed in their job of getting out the vote. Perhaps the writers of these editorials are good guessers or could it be that they were hoping that less than one half the campus would vote? On this same editorial page is an editorial praising U. P. Le gislators who are trying to find the views of the campus in re gard to the telephone situation by interviewing 1500- students. It seems quite absurd that the opinion of 1500 should be con sidered representative of the campus about the phone situa tion and the opinion of 1,318 should not be considered repre sentative in the referendum. I for one desire a fair referen dum and I believe that most students on the campus do also. Bob I Pace Ed. note: The block fee raise as passed by the Student Leg islature was not a UP meas ure but rather a bi-partisan piece of legislation. In fact the compromise raise to $5.50 un- , dergraduate fees and $5.00 graduate fees was suggested by the SP. Graham Jones was the only spokesman in either party that was outspoken in . opposing the raise. C C POLICY ; The one policy of the Campus Chest is to keep active solici tation out of the dorms and fraternity houses, and not to prevent students from contrib uting to whatever cause they may wish to support. There is a great deal of logic in the ar guments of the Red Cross when applied to a national or local Community Chest; but, we feel that the Campus Chest is an entirely different situation, since it is not from a student community that the Red Cross draws the main source of its funds. " Th Campus Chest is hgjd ly dictatorial, since we have ""practically no powers of en forcement and no desire to prevent any individual from ' conrrib uring to any worthy causa. We are in no way con nected with any other fede- THAT$ EASY... 77r CROSS! EDITOR rated drive. It is interesting to note in this connection, that both Polio and Heart who have the SAME basic policy toward federated drives as does the Red Cross recog nized the unique position of the student Campus Chest and joined with us in our drive. Both of these nationals were more than satisfied with their share of the proceeds. We are writing this letter to further clarify the Chest's posi tion as regards the Red Cross and not to attack the Red Cross. The local chapter did its best to cooperate with us when ne gotiations were under way last November, and of them we have no criticism. We do have a disagreement in principle with their national policy, how ever, and feel that the Red Cross would benefit on this campus as did Heart and Po lio by coming into the Chest. The Red Cross . contacted the Chest before it made any move on the campus, and we agreed on certain things which they may do without violating the bill. In no way should this letter be inter preted as trying to prevent individuals from making a contribution if they so desire. We do not feel that anyone can speak on either side of this question with any degree of finality, and we invite com ments from any interested stu dents in order that we might have a more intelligent Chest policy next year. We should like to suggest that it might be a good subject for debate with in the Di or the Phi, so that the issue may be clarified for more students. Dick Murphy, Coordinator Mike McDaniel, Publicity GENTLEMEN Editor: A few weeks ago I found an interesting article entitled A GENTLEMAN, and I was greatly impressed with it. We hear so much about a "Carolina Gentleman" that I wish you would publish this article for the benefit of those who are not sure of the definition of a gentle man. A Gentleman . A BOY OR MAN who is clean, both outside and in side: who neither looks up to the rich nor down to the poor; who can lose without squealing win without brag ging; who is considerate of women, children, and old people; who is too brave to lie, too generous to cheat, and who takes his share of the world and lets other people have theirs. Thanking you for your kind Wallace DREW PEARSON ON "e WASHINGTON MERRY GO-ROUND i WASHINGTON. Here are some situations which most Americans don't know about, but which concern them vitally: SITUATION Nor 1 The fu ture atomic-hydrogen defense of Washington, D. C, according to' atomic scientists, must require a ring of fire stations fifteen miles out of the city and com pletely around the city. Present fire stations inside the city would be wiped out and futile in case of an enemy attack. It will require from 10,000 to 15, 000 regularly trained and paid firemen to man these stations . . . .The defense of New York, a city nine times the size of Washington, would require at least nine times as many fire man about 100,000 and cost nine times as much. In brief, the defense of our big cities against future hydrogen bomb ing would just about bankrupt us. . .Peace will be cheaper. , SITUATION No. 2 In Paris, French Foreign Ministers Schu mann told critics of American arms under the Atlantic Pact that these arms would permit France to defend herself against Germany. He did not mention Russia, the nation which actua ly inspired the North Atlantic Pact. . " .Some Europeans are now wondering whether we ourselves really mean business in opposing Russia. . . The U. S. A. is caught in a European cross fire Communists who hate us and non-Communists who think we are governed by Communists. The latter have been reading Senator Joe Mc Carthy. . .Only brief cables re garding the McCarthy charges are carried to Europe, Cable tools are expensive, newsprint precious, As a result, European non-Communists are confused, the Commu nists gleeful. ' McCarthy has done a great job for Moscow. THE SENATE RESTAURANT Every noon when Republi can Senators sit down at lunch they ask each other: "How's Joe dong?" They are referring, not , to Joe Stalin, but to their colleague Joe McCarthy of Wis consin. They agree that Joe isn't doing well, but they think he's winning votes for Republi cans. Senator Taf t, now the leader of the Party, expressed it this way: ."I told Joe," he said, "to keep talking. I don't think he's got anything. But the longer he talks, the more peo ple will think he has some thing."

UMAC A WT S.HO WL fcAIsAlEli..A! -jttmlTO lffi EUtributby Kjng bune, partly worked up by astute political speeches, the drift toward isolation continues. Secretary of State Dean Ache son, a scholar more than a poli tician, has lost so much political appeal that some Senate leaders want Truman to dump him. PRAGUE, CZECHOSLOVAK IA the Iron Curtain is really becoming iron. Hitherto, the satellite countries -were ruled by local Communists. Now Mos cow plans to take over Bulgaria, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Ru mania in toto, putting them un der Russia dictators. . .Poland is already under Dictator-General Rokossovsky. Bulgaria probably will be next. That was one rea son for cracking down on the American Leagation in Sofia and on'Vogeler in Budapest. . . Moscow wants all Americans out from behind the Iron Cur-, tain, also wants this vast area ruled as an integral part of Russia. If and when this hap pens, the chances of another Tito vanish. KEY WEST, FLORIDA President Truman sits in the sun oblivious to Congressional" bitterness, oblivious to his slip ping foreign, policy. . .If the United States drifts into isola tion, there is no other way but the ring of fire stations around Washington, New York, Detroit . . .In addition to Republicans, many Democrats are bitter at Truman. They feel that over night election night of No vember 1948 he -was trans- formed from a humble little man who asked all Americans to help him, to a boastful little "I-did -it" Harry. THE WARDMAN PARK HO TEL Senator Arthur Vanden bergvof Michigan, the Republi can who has had the courage and unselffishness to give the United States a bipartisan for eign policy, remains ill. He may never come back to the Senate as a vigorous leader. Without him, less responsible Republi cans run berserk. INNER DEMOCRATIC CIR CLE Democratic leaders would like to see their President launch a bold, brave move for a unified nation. They recall how President Roosevelt con ferred repeatedly with Wendell Willkie, brought elder GOP Statesman Henry L. Stimson and Frank Knox into his cabi net. They wish Truman would call Dewey, Stassen, Warren of California to a conference on the vital problems facing this country before it is too late. 3.
