Intcrscxual Intorsectional Relations
On Monday, afternoon the fellows on third floor Manley'
vill entertain the young ladies of Delta Delta Delta Sorority
at a picnic on the banks of Hogan's Lake.
In the memories of Carolina's oldest professors,; (including
elder Statesman Long),. nothing like this has happened ber
fore. While enjoying what promises to be a jolly time, the
Tri-Delts and the Manley boys will be cementing the unity
of spirit that is called Carolina.
Despite certain unfortunate .incidents, there is compara
tively little anti-sorOrity. or anti-fraternity prejudice on this
campus. Generally speaking, all the coeds here, whether
they live in a Greek Hall or in a dormitory, have the same
number of legs and arms and react to situations in pretty
much the same way.
Snobbishness and sourgrapeism are equally alien to the
University.
During the past election, no pitched battles were, fought
between fraternities and the dorms; the record shows, in .fact
that the lines were formed on. the issues and not on texture
of underwear worn.
A few, nights ago, Old East had Mclver and Alderman
.t'irls over at. the Vets Club for a dance. These two socials,
-are just a couple of the friendly events of the early spring
season which are helping to break down the natural segrega
tion between Carolina students.
. Many of the students at Carolina come down here from
the wrong side, of the tracks; a few foolishly refuse to forget
their high school prej udices . and spend : an unhappy four,
years here,-when they could be absorbing themselves into
the democratic companionship of a classless school.
Manley Dorm, the Tri-Delts, Old East, Mclver, Alderman
and all others who, even at their socials, build a. more unified
rtudent body are doing themselves, their school, and their
society a favor. Graham Jones
Good Work by IDC
Although. final: plans "have not yet been released, it looks
as though the Interdormitory Council is really making, pro
gress in its goal of providing better entertainment for resi
dents ; of ; ; -University dormitories. Dick Taylor and Buck
Blankenship have been working out final details for a big
Interdormitory Council dance which will be given on. the. day
of the iBJue-White football game (May .6). Efforts are heing
made to bring a prominent band to. the campus. for the week
end, and a concert has been scheduled for. Memorial ' Hall
alter the. game. 1
This is the first year in which, the Interdormitory Council
has attempted . to hold a. dance, and the DTH considers the
move n progressive step.; The social fees collected, from. the
dormitory residents will be used to cover some of the costs,
and the dance will be semi-formal. It looks like an excellent
weekend for, the dormitory men to bring dates to Carolina.
The IDC seems to be doing a job in its bid . to . build up
dormitory spirit on campus. It would be desirable if eyery
dormitory man took an interest in how his dorm was. faring
in intramurals, scholarship, or other. fields in which. there is
competition between fraternities and dormitories. Old East
is the only dormitory, however, which has displayed much
spirit.
The idea of an Interdormitory dance is sound, and the
more activities which are sponsored by. dormitory men, then
the better University we vill have. The Interfraternity
Council also might take a hint from the IDC and get around
to sponsoring a dance also. Carolina is one of the few uni
versities in the country in which the IFC sponsors, no, dances.
Fire-Fighting Front
Carolina students turned out en masse Thursday night for
the big fire over behind the infirmary and were treated to
an excellent example of "how not, to put out a, fire," with the
Chapel Hill Fire Department serving as the chief performers.
An equipment shack, containing electrical equipment being
used in construction of the new medical buildings in this area,
was razed as a result, and damage. amounting, to $4,500. What
most people who watched the fire burn brilliantly. .did not
realize was that the blaze came within less than 12 feet of the
f torage place for dynamite caps, used in blasting rock in the
construction. Fortunately a change in the wind direction pre
vented what could have been a major fiasco..
It seems that: (1) the fire department was about 20 min
utes late in arriving on the scene, of .the fire, and. (2) they
could muster up no more than a trickle of water to , turn on
the flames once they did arrive. Reporters covering the fire
for journalism class reported that one fireman waved, his hat
graciously to the cheering crowd of students as the fire truck
first pulled up. Such comic theatricals have no place at a
, fire. Then too .there was an apparent lack of organization in
the fire-fighting efforts. Had not the wind been on the fire
men's side, the whole area might be blown, up today . because
of the nearness of the dynamite.
Adequate water pressure could not be obtained from the
small trucks because , there was no. fire hydrant.. A DTH re
. porter yesterday, .however, , ran into a fire plug across the
highway from the Medical .Building.
At any rate, a fire-hydrant should be installed somewhere
behind the infirmary. as long as the new medical school is
being, constructed there. And Chapel Hill firemen ' should
, brush ,up on their f ire-fighting efficiency. The .huge t crowd
should have been cleared away, because, of the dyniamite, and
the slowness, of the firemen in arriving, at the fire.-, is -.inexcusable.

Of the Grai!
(This it the third and f inal of
a series of articles explaining
the origin and purpose of the
Order of the Grail, campus hon
orary organization.)
Scholarships have always been
.the destination of the small pro
fit which the Order of the Grail
makes on selling graduation in- "
vitations, Senior Class rings, and
tickets for various dances. Since
the war, the old Scholarships of
$75 a year have been doubled,
and this year five students have
received $150 apiece from the
Grail to help pay, their way at .
Carolina.
But the. Grail is active in other
fields as well as these. The
white Colonial signs at the en
trances to. .Chapel Hill, reading
"Chapel Hill, site of the Uni
versity of North Carolina, which
first opened its doors in Janu
ary, 1795," were a Grail idea.
And the Grail in 1946 revived
the booklet, "So You're Coming
to a Carolina Dance," which has
just been jreprinted jointly with
the Dance Committee, the IFC,
and the German Club.
Citations during the past
- twa years- have been sent io
students who have rendered
unusual and - generally un
publicized services to Caro-
;-lina. These citations, are
simply letters to individuals,
signed by-the Grail, naming
the worthy deed and express-
- ing the thanks of the Order
on behalf of the campus.
The Grail feels that jt is in
keeping with the spirit of Caro-.
lina, the inconspicuous charac
ter of the Order, and the humil
ity of the men whom it cites,
. to recognize .their achievements
. personally, : without any . other
fanfare. To date this year, near
ly a dozen letters of citation
..have been. sent to deserving men
and women students.
In its watchowrds Friendship,
. Truth, Courage, and Service;- in
its Arthurian ritual, knightly
tradition, and the meaning of its
silver and purple charm; in its
choice of Knights for character,
service, and personal integrity;
and in its chief objective, Ser
vice, the Grail attempts to lead
the life of Carolina gentlemen,
to honor, the worthy, and to
. serve. Carolina now and in years
to come.
; To. the. men who have been
. called to make ihe pilgrimage
in search of the spiritual
Grail, to. those who may some

REPORT FROM PRESIDENT
First of all, I would like to
thank all of those of my fellow
students who, through their bal
lots cast last Tuesday; .have
made it possible for me to oc
cupy the position of their .first
servant .during the coming year.
I cannot help but feel humble
and somewhat inadequate to the'
tasks which will face me. Over
the years, the campus, has seen
a succession of presidents who
have set high standards of cour- -age
'and accomplishment, stand
ards which are a continuing
challenge to us who follow in
their footsteps.
The most heartening and en- -couraging
aspect of the whole
( campaign was the enthusiastic
and selfless fashion in which so .
many people gave of themselves
to make my campaign a sue- -cess.
I am confident that they
will be joined by many others, i
regardless' of party or candi
date, in bending their "efforts
and enthusiasm to the accom-
plishment of the job which has
to be done.
In retrospect, I am confident

that the campaign will be one of
long-range benefit to the stu
dent community. . For the first
time in many years, the voter
had something' more to vote on
than the personality or party
label, -of the candidates; " There
were issues; perhaps not issues
of as great moment as those . .
which face us in state and na

-promises were made certainly
I made my share of them: It is

fulfilled. -My opponents brought :

MERRY-GO-ROUND
WASHINGTON. With U. S.
-U. S. S. R. relations getting no
better as a result of . the U. S.
, -plane-over-Latvia incident, it's
important, to take a look at the
recent Hague . Conference and
see how the North Atlantic Pact
is .working.
-.That pact was founded on the
idea - that , the United States
would furnish, the arms, Europe
the ; men for the defense of
: Western Europe.
It wasn't given publicity at
the - recent - Hague, meeting, but
. tha.t. principle isn't really work-
- ing out. . In. brief. Western .Eu
rope is . hanging back about
supplying. the .men.
; .The -, French, usually consid-
ered the great reservoir, of mili
tary manpower, told Hague con-
ferees they had an army tied up
in -i Indo-China, where . Commu
nist gueiTillas are killing French
officers at the rate of one-half a
West -Point . graduating . class
. per year. It would be . political
; . dynamfte. to increase.-the French
army now, they; said.
- Other smaller countries also
didn't want to overtax their
military . budget, all of which '
paved the way for two import
ant proposals:
1. Bringing Spain, together
with Franco's 500,000-man army,
into the North Atlantic Pact.
2, Arming a West German
army of 150,000 men.

around the desk. .McNaughton
: jumped up, prepared .to defend
himself.
"If you've got any . tricks up
your sleeves, you go : ahead and
pull them," challenged .the mild-
v mannered little reporter.
But Cain changed his mind,
ordered McNaughton out of his
office instead, then proceeded
to air his wounded vanity on
the Senator floor, where he told
amused colleagues it wasn't
true that he was one. of the I
Senate's most expendable .mem-
.hers. The more he. talked, :how-
ever, the more the. Washington
