Whilo the Ballots Pour In . . As the Daily Tar Heel editorial deadline approaches, there is no one on campus with evert the slightest inkling of just who or which party emerged on top in yesterday's spring elections primary. Probably the matter of who is to be the next president of the student body of who Will be 'editor of the Daily Tar Heel next year will not be decided until the runoffs next Tuesday. About the only comment that can be made on the election at this time is that it will go down in the books as one of Hie hardest fought on this campus in a number of years. Perhaps we may yet see more fireworks before next week. Hut no matter what happens, no student can say that there were no issues involved in this campaign or so little, interest manifested that he did not see fit to go to the polls and Cast his ballot. Furthermore, warm weather and cloudy but rainless :;kies presented no obstacle to going to the polls and voting. All told, the vote yesterday should have been considerably heavier than last year, particularly because of the heavy debate which has been raging over campus for the past Week. A lot of charges have been made. A lot of candidates have slammed others in public statements and there have been .some hard feelings during the campaign. The DTH sincerely hopes that all these personal arguments will be dropped immediately, upon the conclusion of the election. There are few enough persons sincerely interested in the workings of student government as there is without petty arguments leading the defeated candidates to retire from the public scene.- The losers should pledge their all-out co operation with the winners, with all working toward a com mon goal of a better University of North Carolina. The Only One We Have On an October morning in 1903, in a -village not far. from La Rochelle in eastern France, a young priest paled as he 'list ened to his first confession. "Yesterday afternoon," he heard the penitent on the other side of the curtain say, "I met a strange girl on the dirt road that runs by the pond. When I tried to make friends with her, she laughed at me, and I got mad I picked up a stone arid hit her to make her stop laugh ing. She fell down, and when I yelled and she didn't move I got scared and buried her be hind some ' bushes." Father Anioine recognized fhe voice as that of a lS-year-old who was known in the Tillage as "the story teller'' a boy who was always talking about his daydreams as if they had actually hap pened. Even though he .didn't know whether the confession was fact or fiction, the priest imposed the most severe penance, and in addition ordered the boy to vis it him every day after school for a friendly talk. A few weeks later, Father Antoine was almost certain -the "crime" was an hallucination. For one thing, there had been no report of a missing person in the district and, for another, the Doy's descriptions of the murder grew more and more confused. One afternoon he finally ad mitted to the priest that his story was a fabrication. "I did meet a girl," he said,; and she got, me so angry that I wanted to kill her. But I never touched her, and afterwards I got all mixed up about what I wanted to do and want I really did." "I suspected as much all along," said Father Antoine, "but I must admit I was shock ed at first. You see, you were the first person who had ever confessed to me." ' KXAW K - SHAG'M-m gfcp3 I - SSs. o YOU GOTTA KNOW - Vf )f - ; aJL YOUR STUFFS yf Two years later, the boy's family moved to .Paris, and the priest all but . forgot the . inci dent until a new paved road Sunday afternoon, at Grraham Memorial, a thoughtless person dropped a lighted cigarette into1 a efeva.se' of a leather chair in the main lounge. There it smoldered for some time, p.rid finally ignited the stuffing. An observer saw smoke emerging, and notified George Drew, a staff memberi He, in turn, extinguished the fire by a hurried application of water. The damage done to the chair" itself was hidden, and was laid alongside the old dirt perhaps of minor nature. However, there is certain cost one- Under a bush near , the entailed in the matter of repairs. pond was found the decom- It is possible that the person who dropped the lighted VZlLl tXSl cigarette was- not fully -aware of the overt act.

The years of the German oc cupation were difficult ones for those who lived in the La Ro chelle District, but many of the villagers did what they could for the resistance movement and net the least among them was the pries, now in his late 60's. And when the liberation came, a great celebration . was arranged with Father Antoine as the guest of honor. After the dinner there was a good deal of reminiscing among the veterans of the - under ground, but when someone ask ed the priest to tell of his own adventures, he smiled and de clined. "The occupation was eventful for all of us," he ex- LETTERS TO THE EDITOR MORE FROM GERNS ON TMA COMPLAINTS (Due to circumstances beyond our control, the following part of Mr. Gems' letter "on the TMA-TGA , disptite in' yester day's DTH was omitted and is herewith presented to the read er. Ed.) ; Editor: Handbills, distributed on cam pus during the past few days, advocating non-ratification of the' revised constitution, ap proach their objective in a sen timental, rather than logical plained, "but in my calling the ' manner. TMA and TGA are not eventful is almost an everyday occurrence. As a matter of fact, the first confession I ever heard was of a murderer." Then, remembering his vows. Father Antoine apolo gized for his off-guard, re mark and despite the urging of the guests would say no more. Later that evening a delega tion of underground workers from other districts joined the representative of town students celebration and on of them, a colonel in the Marquis, was aslted to say a few words. "Meeting Fater Antoine to night is ' a great pleasure," he said to the- gathering, "and not only because of his war record. Although he doesn't remember my name or face, I . knew him when I was a boy as a matter of . fact, . I was the .first person who ever confessed . to him." as they can speak for none ex cept their own private member ship on both dance committee and university club. If Should ' be added that the revised version of fhe campus law provides for five members af large appointed by the presi dent of the student body to the dance committee to speak for all students, including town students. Also, Mr. Hebb's' statements to the con-' trary, the present undevised constitution does not provide for TGA .membership on the dance committee even now. In conclusion, one might point out that in spite of current pro visions in the constitution, the 30-odd members of the TMA only recently lacked representa tion on the dance committee for several wesks, apparently due to their own disinterest in the cause they now-. so valiantly champion. Pete Gems rtf Such an act is scarcely the mark of a Carolina Gentleman, u In fact, we thiAk it stinks. It matches, in disgust, the recent g incident when an unidentified person set fire to a Graham 3 Memorial bulletin board after closing hours; a blaze which could be marked down as nothing short of deliberate. One further wonders what might have happened if the cigarette had been dropped late at. night, with none around to discover its consequence. Would evdence of such care lessness, in series, eventually mean a ban from smoking in the lounge? After all, it's the only Graham Memorial we have. Could we not appreciate its service in better measure than this? 4-9.

" Thnt iwriat Pirfccr ArtV.nr TVT Whitehill, Jr., of the University of North Carolina has done tq in an informative article, "What's So Bad About a Professor's Job?" in the Saturday Evening Post of March 18. It is true that Dr. Whitehill is concerned with college professors only. He makes an interesting artswef to- his question. The salaries, although not the lareest oaid. are substantial; fees from outside services and writing supple ment them. He finds definite advantages in the hours of work and their flexibility, in the vacation periods, in oppor tunities to' educate children. All of which adds up to the sum that the Carolina professor enjoys his work and- finds the compensations satisfactory. A public school teacher might do the' same thing, for the benefits are similar to those given by Professor WhifehilT for college teachers, it would reflect a satisfaction in work which it is evident many teachers have. Teaching is not r. profession to' be avoided; with some emphasis upon its attractive features, it can become' again a popular vocation. Because' he has taken a positive approach and has shown m that some teachers are not unhappy in their situations, Pro fessor Whitehill has rendered his profe'ssion a real service. His is the attitude one likes to find in teachers. Such an attitude,, of course, does not prevent ont from seeking an improvement iri salary and in working conditions,- but there is the' suspicion that boards are more favorably inclined to pranf such increases and improvements fo teachers who' ra diate a happy atmosphere about their calling". 16ft' LUV A DUCKl'- IVE MISSED YE, ) Li 1 CH f rP K tNSPE.cTOB.rr-but; me 'Armurr J.fo Ow"" .r (fyV, I'M STUCK FAST TO IT, AND IT IS J ' IrJ) Vlf- 'J '" STUCK FAST TO SOMETHING wM, I J &R.

Those who have vatehed the gyrations of of harum-scarun Senator Joe McCarthy of Wisconsin now be lieve they have tracked down the source of some of his wild statements, and that he is be ing fed by Fascist-minded Joseph Kamp, now under con viction for contempt of Con gress. McCarthy has vacillated all the way from claiming 207, card-carrying Communists in, the State Department down to 57 Communists, though he has yet been able to prove one. After making these statements, he has retreated from claiming card-carrying Communists to "Communist sympathizers and fellow travelers." And, after stating on the Senate floor FebT ruary 20 that "I will not say anything under" the cloak of immunity that I would not say anywhere else . . . and that day I will resign from the Senate," he is now leading over back-. ward to protect himself against a libel suit. In fact, he even stamped advance copies of his speech sent to the Senate press gallery with the notation that he was acting "as the agent for the Senate," in order to pro tect himself against libel. A comparison of McCarthy's charges with those of Fascist Joe Kamp shows they are al most identical. In case after case. McCarthy almost para phrases charges made by Kamp in some of his inflam atory publications which have received the hearty endorse ment of the Ku Klux Klan. Kamp, original name Kampf, was born in Yorktown, N. Y., made several trips to Germany, and finally shipped his German born father back to the Father land shortly before the war started. . He was convicted in 1948 for contempt of Congress, and this conviction was affirmed by the Court of Appeals." Here's the inside story of how supporters of the Kerr Bill ma nipulated the votes to: jam it through the House of Repre sentatives last week. Actually, the Bill was defeat ed on the first roll call by a vote of 179 to 173. However, just before the out come could be announced, Con gressmen from the Southeast ern states swarmed into the well of the House demanding to know how. they had been re-' corded . on the roll call. - This was a delaying tactic to give supporters of the bill time to drum up some switch-votes t snatch victory from defeat in the very close balloting. Meanwhile, Rep. Charles Hal leck, of Indiana, who' led the fight for the Kerr Bill on the Republican side, also appeared in the House well. Halleck ask ed Lewis Deschler, House Par liamentarian, .who was stand ing behind the tally clerk: "What's the score, Lew?" Before Deschler could an swer Speaker Rayburn, who was presiding, informed Halleck that two more votes were need ed if the bill was to be saved from defeat. In other words, it was up to Halleck to produce two switch-votes on the Re publican side. How well he succeeded may be attested by the fact that not two but three Republicans, who had voted against the Kerr Bill, scon appeared in the House well and informed Rayburn that they would like to change their vote 'and be recorded as for the bill. The three Republicans were Earl Wilson, of Indiana, a pro tege of Halleck, Paul Shafer, of Michigan, and Henry Latham, of New York. One Democrat, Morgan Moulder of Missouri, al so, mysteriously changed his vote under pressure at the last minute. Two other House members whose yes-and-no votes cancel led off each other also changed their minds and asked to be re corded as voting, present. They w'ere Richard Wigglesworth, of Massachusetts, who had voted against the Kerr Bill on the first roll call, and Donald Jack son, of California, who voted for it. That is the inside story of how the vote to kill the Kerr Eill was miscarried into a vole to pass by a margin of 176 to 174. Some of the loudest boos ever heard in the House plus shouts of "How much did you get?" greeted Congressman Wilson and his three col leagues when they changed iheir ballots. , NOTE: Senator Joe McCarthy is in the doughouse witli Wis consin voters for a7iother reason besides his irresponsible attack on the State Department. He al so voted for the Kerr Bill, which is such a hot potato in "Wisconsin that McCarthy's col league, Alexander Wiley, made a thumping speech against it. Wz s HHir r i8 p r p !L.
