Happy Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving" to the student body. May you all have as
much enjoyment and turkey as we of the staff hope to have,,

Holidays are always happy days for Tar Heels, and
Thanksgiving has alwajs been one of our favorites, coming
as it does in the midst of the turmoiling fall quarter. We
hope and trust that everybody will enjoy the free time as
much as we hope and intend to do. See-you Saturday. '
Watch Shenanigans
The purely political shenanigans that have characterized
the nomination and selection of freshman class officer candi
dates should be analyzed just a little bit it freshmen are not
going to be completely at loss when the time comes to try
and pick their officers.
ui;-c- mo v.; .1- ft-, r. -; .--u-.u u i
x iioi, w t: tu.ii. uic aiit-nciiiigaiia aiiuuiu nut ut tctrteil m
an indication of an increased interest by freshmen as a whole
in their officer elections. In fact, we would look upon the
many schemes, expertly done deals, and actions of the candi
dates as indications of a complete disregard for the whole
affair by most freshmen. The ease with which some candidates
have entered the race, and the fact that there are so many in
the race, seems to us to be an indication of a complete lack of
unityr'6f piirp'dse on the part of freshmen. Admittedly, class
elections are not very important in the scheme of things.
Especially is that so far as the freshmen are Concerned. Far
be it from us to attach too much importance to the election of
class officers, and for that reason, we don't look with any great
alarm on the lack of interest being shown by most freshmen,
or with the shenanigans that have grown out of the situation.
Until class officers become important because of the duties
they wouTd entail, the election of class officers should get only
such interest as they deserve.
However, there is one big danger in letting such shenan
igans get completely out of hand, and so completely into the
realm of politics. Arid that is the fact that such stuff may be
taken as standard procedure, even when 'it comes t6 electing
folks to jobs that have real responsibilty. That is why fresh
men should do some evaluating of the actions by certain
members of their class. There &re at least two freshmen
presidential candidates who, we believe, should be classed as
opportunists to the hilt. Whether they, in their own desire for
office, would still be better presidents than the other two, we
wouldn't attempt to say. The fact is, however, that opportun
ism, aeems to be their principle characteristic right now. And
the fact that there have been some purely political moves
moves that would do credit to veteran political wheelhorses
should make freshmen even more wary and even more cog
nizant of their responsibility at the polls. When pure politi
cks get in the driver's seat, whether it be in such jobs as class
officer or in the president's chair, it usually takes nothing
j ess than near-revolution to get them out.
A realization that such farcial actions are not an indication-of
a heartening awakening of interests by the majority
will frelp freshmen to better make their choice at the polls.
Such a realization should also snow others that there is no
such awakening, and that the awakening is not going to come
until class officerships become jobs of responsibility.
Hawkins Day Dilemma
The complete flop of UNC's Sadie Hawkins Day is simply
beyond comprehension, even by such staid observers as the
editorialist. Evene more amazing is the reason behind the
flop. 'On a campus where females are outnumbered so com
pletely, and where males are usually on the lookout for a
way to crack the tremendous male-to-female ratio, the flop
came because there were not enough men! Truly, it was
amazing.
There they were, a group of coeds who were willing to
run to grab a man student. And no men showed up to be
chased. It must be an indication of some significant-change
in something or other. Possibly a far-reaching investigation
and study should be conducted into somethingi we are; not
exactly sure what. More mature minds would claim that it
is a heartening sign, an indication of a growing maturity on
the part of the student body. Traditionalists would bemoan
the flop, since UNC was one of the first to take part in the
cartoon-inspired manhunt. Student Party would claim that
it was a University Party plot. UP would claim backknifing
bv the SP. And on and on.
Such an investigation would at least provide a new field
of study into many areas. Paramount among them would
be The Daily Tar Heel editorial columns, .where the same old
problems hav been gathering editorial dust for many student
generations. For that reasor- alone we would advocate a
thorough study into the matter.
NONPLUS
by Harry Snook
Should women, go to college?
It is surprising to me that this
-is still a topic ior lively discus- '
' sion. So many : women have put -their
college - work '"to such ob-e
vious good use that, there .seems
: -little ? basis 'loir any. question on
the matter. But a lot people, m-i
eluding- some .women, maintain
; that the average -coed is wasting
time and money . in -' getting her
degree
And there are even a few
who' claim that college spoils
' what otherwise might have been
a good woman.-'
Well, I disagree with those
who disagree that college agrees
with the girls. I think college is
good for the women who go and
who get something out of it.
And this implies that what the
women get gives them more to
give. ' . ' . .
Sure, college has ruined some
women. No doubt about that.
You meet a woman every so
often that has college indelibly
stamped on her in pure snotti
ness. And some girls have abso
lutely no intention of " learning
anything when they leave home
, for school.
But -these number among the
minority.
I was interested in the results
of a questionnaire asking wom
en - alumnae what values they, '
got from college and wou.d pre
sumably "use. They listed five
general items: A greater self
confidence, a sense that the
world was larger than them
selves, a feeling of balance
which helped them see points of
view not like their own, the hab
it of seeing problems and then
acting upon them and training
in and delight in doing research.
When I think about women in
college, I don't include the girls
who actually intend to launch
themselves upon some particular
career. For the women who
choose to devote their lives to
professions, there can be no
question that college is not only
important but also necessary.
The women who might be in
cluded under any question of
whether college is worthwhile
are the majority of females who -find
fellows, get married and
settle down to manage homes
and families. What do they get
from college that is useful?
They learn things of an infin
ite variety that makes them bet
ter wives, mothers and citizens.
They learn of-history and art
and science and people. They
develop into better-poised,
clear-thinking people who are
able to extract more from life
on both the spiritual and the
materialistic planes.
The college woman is better
prepared to train and educate
her children into the ways of the
world. She has a finer perspec
tive in sharing with her husband
the problems of his business. She
can do more with less in making
home brighter and smarter. Her
vote at the polls is worth more
because she understand ; more of
what is going on and why.
And the college woman can
get a better job with higher pay,
than can tiie woman ' vho
'stopped fhort of higher educa
tion. This is en important point
the e days when the family fi
nances depend upon the wive's
job as well as the hucband's in
so many cases. .
Employers are smart people.
They like .. college-educated
women. They know from exper
ience that ' the college girl is
more responsible, better trained
in some technique of work, and
more apt to conduct her business '
with a broader perspective on
matters in general.
Managing a home is compli
cated business, to be done well.
I know this from fact. My wife
tells me . . . , . -- -,
She's looking over my shoul
der now, my wife is. That first
line attracted her attention. I
know she will - approve of my
stand, too, because she's a col
lege woman.
On Campus
We know of a married vete
ran who had a friend visit him
in his Victory Village home the
other day."
After being .introduced to the
caller, -the fellow's wife went
into the bedroom to do some
thing, and the visitor whispered
to his hov.t:
"My, she's beautiful! Can she
cook?". r.-;:-'" ' . .:-... . :.
"She can mike the be.-t ice
cubes you ever tasted," the hus
band whispered back.

Tar Heel At Large
by Robert Ruark, '35
.; BIRMINGHAM We were speaking the other
day of Charlie Boswell, the totally blind ex--football
star who lost his eyes in the war, and
who has licked his infirmity miraculously. Char
lie rides horses, is the international blind golf
champion of the world, and, I am told, plays one
helluva game of bridge.
Charlie's golf game is ) worth talking about.
(He never touched a club until a shell shattered
in his face and put out his eyes. He now shoots
consistently in , the middle eighties. He has
grooved his swing, and never has to worry about
keeping his eyes on the ball. He is a- fine putter.
He has mastered chip shots so that today he rel
ishes a sand trap.
When Charlie plays golf somebody points his
feet in the right direction, and nestles the club
head behind the ball. Charlie takes over from
there. When he putts, somebody tells him how
far he is away from the hole. He feels out the
terrain oMhe green and bats the ball gently into
the cup. Before he is much older he will probably
shoot a holc-in-one.
Living in the dark poses a number of horrid
handicaps to happiness but I truly believe that
Charlie Boswell is a happy man. an adjusted man.
Certainly he earns a living that, is devoid of tin
due sympathy, since he holds dowji a department
store job that would tax the abilities of any man
equipped with eyes, . , y,v:;."i".
He has memorized the city of Birmingham in1
his brain, and with his cane, which is NOT paint
ed vrMte. He coc- where ho wi -hs. All he noeds
i; initial orientation. He times his bus ride 'by
curve--: and tcps and jounces Hn wife. Kitty,,
could t-ike him to work in their car. He ronklcrs
that n wate of her time and handles hi; trans
portation on his own.
Charlie uses the word "see", constantly. He
has to "?ce- a rmn about -a .deal. Such-and- uh
was the funnrt thin you have over "seen." ITr
goes to New York annually to "see shows." He
attends sports events constantly, and "sees"
them through the eyes of the announcer, his com
panions, and the roar of the crowd. He "saw"
South Pacific, and he says Mary Martin is the
cutest gal he has ever "seen."
There is at least one instance of Charlie going
off on a football weekend : with a sportswriter
friend, who promised "solemnly to look aftei"
Charlie. Said chum got loaded. Charlie spent the
weekend steering his buddy around. "One of the
first true cases of the blind leading the blind,"
Charlie'says with a snort. . v
I mentioned earlier that Charlie -was furious
at fate when the medicos told him, finally, that
he was kaput in the eye department. Then and
there he made up his mind to accept none of the
usual social crutches of the blind, especially the
war-blind. He gets furious at ovqraccented sym
pathy. His life from the dressing of his child
ren to a Saturday stint at the barbecue pit is as
normal as that of any man with sight except, of
course he can't see.
"I never measured a distance in my blind ,
life," he says. "I am not sensitive, though. You
just take me to the door of my department store,
and some pretty old girl will steer me to the
elevator. After that I'm home."
To see Charlie among his sports stock in the
denortment store i a sort of miracle in itself.
From a fishhook to a shotgun, he knows his in
ventory as intfrmtely as he knows the razor he
rhaves with or the necktie he knots impeccably
nvrry morning. Charlie has full disability pay
from the Army, of course, but tody he doe 'n't
rf-'d it. He can compete with the average man
who ha" hi siffht.
ChprMo Ro'well is a happy. man. hanov with
his home, hi' job. his wife, his kids. Charlie is
having a pretty .swell time, eyes or no eye-, which
ou.'iht to be of some aid and comfort to the Irds
who come home from Korea today as victims of a
mighty mean trick of fate.
The Carolina Front
by Chuck Hauser
If you hnve r weak heart and are still on your
feit today, it's a cinch you weren't in the Rath
skeller last night when foo'baller Dick Bunting
was "murdered" in a Surprise barrocm brawl
'sta"d by the Phi Alpha Delta legal 'fraternity.
'I knew about the darned thing in advance, and
my hands wetj still shaking v. :.en it was over.
The coed at mv shoulder who screamed gave
me the jitters worse than ever, but a touch of
'humor was added when senior Dortch Warriner,
who wasn't in thi know, heroically t rie I to pro
tect the 'good name of the University an I Dick
Puntintj " . try in to keen one of the, lawyer
photographers from shooting pictures of the
biedmg "body."
It wasn't generally known until tha compul
sory meetins of all. fall election candidates last
night, but both political parties pulled a boner
in making nominations for one of the Legisla
ture seats. : . ,
The,bon r was that the parties ncminated for
a scat that wasn't pen in the elec tion.
Here's the way it happened:
One of the University Party legislators in
Town .District III,: a Beta fbyv the 'name of Biff
Roberts, tesigned from the Legislature "but his
name was never turned over to Elections Board
Chairman Julian Mason. So naturally Mason
di-Jn't know Roberts' scat was open and did n't
provide to fill it during the election.- The. U.rni,
runs until April. " ' ' " ' ' '
Ordinarily two one-year terms would be un
for election in the fall, but the recent reappor
ti'inm nt cut the number down to one. The UP
nominated: Sheldon Placer for the cne-year scat
an ! the SP nominated Alan Donald..
For L-orr.e reason, the UP assumed that the
.'.eat left vacant bv Roberts -would b . up iuv t lec
t:m as a six-mftnths term.' and it nronvtly choso
' iitn James as its nominee fur the ml.. Nalurall
it wished to. keep James in the public m-'ava'
possible presidential candidate for the spring, an. 1
it had no reason to run him for more than a six
month post in the fa'l, assuming he would be a
candidate for higher office after six months.
When the SP was nominating for the single
one-year term open, B.n James, visiting the op
position nartv Meeting, informed the HP membe rs
that a six-month term was open also, since- he
was running for fane. The Student Party duly
mminat d Ton Sully for 1h2 non-e"i t .nt . . '-."!'
or the ba :iT of Jarue;' information. Tec the inoia"?
At any; rat Ben w:ll fot. t sit in the? I-;;i
!atu;e come' winter quarter, because he will b
appointed to till Biff Roberts' seat. .Which al,o
should noint a moral of some kind.
