Lay-out For This .Issue: Night Editor, Rolfe Neill - Sports, Edd Davis Not Such A Bad Time For years the question has been repeatedly raised of why the Library stayed open Saturday evenings when most of the campus was relaxing, dating, partying, or loafing at homeand yet shut up tight on Sunday nights when most of the campus traditionally gets to work on assignments for Monday morning classes. Apparently no one thought to ask the Library. But the Legislature finally did ask, and starting tonight the Library will be open until 10 o'clock for Sunday night studiers. It was closed last night. The new system of hours is only a test being conducted until the end of the quarter to determine whether students' have been sincere in their com plaints about 4,he lack of Sunday night hours. If the new hours seem to siiit everybody, then we understand they will stay in effect. So, if you're planning on doing some studying this eve ning don't forget that the Library is staying open to help you out. And considering that exams are only days away, it might not be such a bad time to do some Studying, at that. The State Teaching The Bible . We are in receipt of 'an interesting and attractive bro chure that has just been put out by the University of North Carolina. It is entitled "Teaching the Bible in the University of North Carolina." . It starts off like this: "Chapel Hill, in Revolutionary. ;imes, was called New Hope Chapel Hill, the hill on which stood New Hope Chapel. And this was the hill to which the eminent minister and educator, Dr. Samuel Eusebius McCork le. referred on October 12, 1793, at the laying of the. corner stone of Old. East when he petitioned the Divine Providence: 'May this hill be for Religion as the ancient hill of Zion.' " v, .The, brochure continues by telling how the University has endeavored throughout the" years to fulfill this mission. The latest development in this connection is the Gray endow ment fund of $250,000, made possible by James A. Gray of Winston-Salem. The income from this fund is to be paid in annually to the University for use in "the establishment and maintenance of a Chair of Instruction in the Bible, and as to any surplus of such income remaining after the fulfillment of that purpose, for-use in instructions, in related fields of religion." Our reason for calling this to your attention is that com paratively few of our citizens know about this splendid gift. We feel that when they do know about it, all North Carolin ians will be deeply appreciative of Mr. Gray's generosity. Not only that, but they will feel even more appreciative of what this will mean in helping to make better and more useful citizens of the young men and women who attend the University. The Indianapolis Star College Men, Not Boys The Indiana University chapter of Alpha Tau Omega social fraternity has provided further evidence that a mature sense of responsibility distinguishes today's college generation from some of its predecessors. The ATO chapter utilized its recent pre-initiation "Hell Week" to perform good deeds for the community. Instead of "assuming the angle" ' before paddle-wielding upperclassrrien and submitting to other childish tortures, the fraternity pledg es were put to work for the Monroe County Welfare Depart ment. During the week they painted a nursery school, chopped wood, repaired roofs, shoveled snow and did other useful welfare work. - ' There may be a few unreconstructed rebels of the John Held, Jr., era who will say this is a sign today's collegians are going soft. We say it's a sign they're tougher than ever and have a better understanding that they are preparing them selves for an adult world which increasingly "separates the; men from the boys. . . - i . . And after all, the puerile rrumbo-jumbo. of the old-fashioned Hell Week must seem pretty silly to college freshmen whose older brothers took the worst Hitler and Tojo had to offer. ATO has set an example for other fraternity chapters to follow. j - "' " - - I Toward Deeper Faith 0 The renewal of the Carolina sermon' as a campus tradition -reflects great credit on those who have made the renewal possible. It should also be hailed by students who will' be able to attend the religious services. In these times when faith, and an understanding of faith, are so important, the Carolina Sermon can easily become a way to make every week a religious emphasis week. Those who are handling arrangements "plan to bring outstanding speakers to the Sermon pulpit. The messages of these speakers will be in line with the mind-broadening effect that .characterized Re 1igious Emphasis Week. The Carolina Sermon is something '"lfaTf6's!ut NONPLUS by HaVry Snook Ever hear of the Pushmepull you? M ; The Pushmepullyou is one of the aramal characters in the famous Doctor Doolittle series of books. This particular animal has twoheads, one at each end, and is faced with the 'eternal problem of which way5 to go. Carolina provides ideal cir cumstances for the development of Pushmepullyous. A UNC Pushmepullyou can't recognize itself by looking in a mirror,-because 'the two heads aren't ob vious. Nevertheless, the UNO Pushmepullyou' is capable of sympathizing with Doctor Doo little's breed in its everlasting mental tug-of-war. Perhaps you're one. The symptoms are easily dis cernible. They consist of the turmpil caused by the constant necessity for decisions whether to study or to go to the movies, join the Di or the Playmakers, going home for the weekend or staying for the game and these are just a few Being a Pushmepullyou has . certain advantages, since .you can get a little of this and some of that a bit of something else. It's when the Pushmepull you gets so busy running hither and yon that he overlooks im portant things and ends up at a loss. Unfortunately , many fine things are being overlooked by TJNC Pushmepullyous in their mad rush. Such as th Carolina Quarterly. The Quarterly is our literary magazine. It serves several very useful purposes. Students who "aspire to the better type of cre ative writing have an outlet and a testing ground in the Quart erly. And students who- want to see how their fellow students are coming along in their efforts can do" so and, at the same time, enjoy what usually amounts to interesting reading. In addition, the Carolina Quarterly represents our the students' best ; literary efforts - -in the eyes of the world at large1. It affords a medium for com paring the talent at Carolina and in North Carolina with tal ent at other schools in other states. It should be very important to all of us. But, in running our Pushmepullyou circles, we have nearly lost it. Students will spend their- time reading Tarnation jokes, but, they seem to have lost interest in anything on a higher, more mature plane. However, the Quarterly has refused to get lost. It ha,s con tinued through the past few years to cull the best of stu dent contributions and publish them for those who had the i thought to ;care about it: It is biding time until Carolina stu - dents are ready once again to take an interest in more serious matters than worn-out jokes. The jokes are all right, if you like 'em, and I do, but there's time for the Quarterly, too. .nd a lot more excuse. This year the Quarterly gives early promise of being the best in many years. Under the edi torship of pretty Lynn Miller, the magazine will be the result of an all-out effort to go out and dig up the best swork of campus and town luminaries. In its first issue this Tuesday, the Quarterly ; will present well rounded contents including ar ticles and stories by Carolina students and famed local citi zens and the items are well written, timely and interesting. If we are ever going to wake up and latch on to a good thing, as the saying goes, now is the ,ii,me.' , Chances are that we'll find; the Quarterly a heck of a sight more entertaining than Tarnation, even. And even if it's a different type of material. Of great importance' to those students who share with me an aversion to being forced to pay for or contribute to anything, the " Quarterly is " entirely self supporting. It ' gets no' share whatsoever of student fees. Its only income is from the sale of the magazines. This is something we can vol untarily support, which is unique in this day and age of having matters decided for us on a group basis. ' So I'm getting me a copy when it "hits the stands" even if I, do have to drop by the Quar . terly office in Graham Memorial 'Chief, I Think Next Year We Can Take Washington 11 5- Sl9fo TMC AHN"Tf POST ccw Tar Heel At Large bv Robert Ruark-'35 MIAMI The city of Miami Beach is a bit bleared and twisted right now, result of a recent hurricane, and it comforts nobody here to learn that Mr. Benjamin Finkle, otherwise known as "The Eye," dwells once again in Florida, Mr. Finkle has a unique fame claim. It was he who placed the whammy severely on the city in the now historic -hurricane" of ?9S6. His annoyance at Dade County stemmed from a brush with the law, which placed him temporarily in the jug. As ' a vengeful measure Mr. Finkle fixed the commun ity with his malevolent orb, or evil eye. The winds and the rains arrived; blew the development back into the bay, and Mr. Finkle's touchy honor was clean again. I believe that I may have discovered Mr. Finkle for the East, back in the early Washington days when he was bending his baleful stare on fist fighters. He was a mussy little man with sad cocker-spaniel eyes, a perpetual cigar, and a chronic aversion to spenidng any money whatso ever. Also- his right eye had a fishy gleam that was presently translated into the Finkle Twinkle. The Eye;s constant ccmoanions were Mr. Sam "The Mumbler" Sobol with whom he is currently associated in Miami Mr. Goldie Ahearn, and Mr. Lou Diamond. Mr. Diamond, nov; dead, handled the fighters. He was called "The Honest Brakeman," for the simple reason that he never stole a boxcar. As I recall this unholy trio, also abetted by Monsieur "Alphonse Weill, an other manager, carried a fighter named Joe Archi bald, to a featherweight championship, largely on the high octanagc of Mr. Finkle' disquieting eye ball. ' "' CPU Roun It may be said of Mr. Finkle that he won the second World War. As far back as 1938 he had transfixed Adolph Hitler with his trans-Atlantic beam. Mr. Finkle had an early aversion to Adolph. It is a matter of record that when Private First Class Finkle landed in Paris, Mr. Hitler was ap prised of the fact and promptly committed sui cide. Since serving with distinction in the armed forces overseas he never got court-martialed The Eye has returned to a three-fold career. He now puts the shriveling stare on rasslers, race horses and occasional prize fighters. He has brief ly considered the idea of a career in television. And he is trying out his special whammy on Joseph Stalin. If successful, it will be the first instance in which the Iron Curtain has been pierced by a glance. As a matter of cold fact The Eye whammied the entire Kentucky Derby field, except Middle ground, which won. He is considering college foot ball as an extension of his talent, since, he re marks: "I get a two-platoon eye." Mr. Finkle says he is not sure how long it will take him to disintegrate the Russian Empire, but he feels that Mr. Stalin is weakening from the effects of his long-distance assault. The Eye fig ures roughh that Zok should see him triumphant ever Communism. In the meantime he has flexed his ocular muscles against Miami, and would be perfectly happy except for one thing: so much strain on his eyeballs has forced him to wear glasses when he reads the Placing Form. eatable by Jack W. Hopkins The Carolina Political Union will discuss the perplexing question of why totalitarian Commu nism has won out over capitalistic democracy so often, at -8 o'clock tonight in Graham Memorial! The reasons for the victories of the Communistic part of the world are legion, but probably can be reduced to several basic contributing factors: Method, existing conditions, and proffered bene fits, of which the most important factor likely is existing conditions. . 1 . Shortcomings of a country are the foundations upon which Communism builds control. They are the ' talking-points for propaganda which essen tially may be true, but of which the ultimate aim is not remedy or solution to the problems but es tablishment of a totalitarian control from a 'cen tral location with scant regard for popular wish es. What are some of the conditions contributing to . Communistic . . victory? Uncmplo3'meat, iac:al discrimination and: antagonism, .class e'en diet, in equity of lan ;1-ownership and skew distribution of wealth, poor living conditions, among others. Any situation in which there is opportunity for exploitation of inequities and class sympathies is1 a potentially dangerous situation, dangerous not because Communism is inherently evil but because of the present method of administration of Communism. As has been said, it's not what you have but how you use it that matters. The method used in Communistic expansion is far more highly de veloped than that of capitalistic democracy. The United States moves in a . country, ostensibly establishes a democratic system of elections, then sets a poor . example" by supporting reactionary u elements of labor and status quo groups for gov ernment, or disregards existing corruption and popular sympathies. There is no doubt that the Soviet Union has made copious use of the "big lie," but Faissia has also employed in Asian countries the system of land division as an inducement to Communism. Fqrce and internal underminement have also been' important weapons. It would be well for the United States to consider its method more closely. -This country since World War II constantly has been on the defensive'. Our entire foreign .policy appears to be based upon the containment of Communism. Seldom has our democracy as- . eumcd the positive approach to forcijn problems, but always the first move has been left up to the dictates of the Soviet Union. ';. ii is essential that the United Stat s reexamine it;; policy with the purpose of putting forth some pi jiarn of action that emphasiaes.the positive rullKr" than the negative aspects cf capitalistic . democracy, some program that offers.: to people of other nations definite relief from persistent problems, rather than one which attempts to fill their minds with the tenets and promises of de mocracy that in reality, may be completely un suited for the particular area. The Soviet Union has proceeded with the basic assumption that m n are primarily- interested in the next meal an i survival. From there it is an easy step to control of men's minds and everyday lives. An ileal approach is. a -careful blend of appeals to instincts of self-survival and the finer concepts of f.roup living, in which' are included ths ideals of tt; democratic: isuc je j.y v--; The Editor's Mailbox This Is An .Explanation? Editor: Maybe you can tell me if this story is true or not. I just can't decide. Picked, it up the other day and it kinda made me curious. One of the boys in a bull session "was griping about the typographic;.! errors which ;pp .up,now, and then in the pages of The Daily Tar Heel. . He got5 ah answer from a broken-down journalist with a bottle clutched feebly in one hand. The explanation was that, all the 'mistakes were the .fault of the gremlins, of the journalism world, the strange creatures called the type lice. Excited by the idea of a horde of pint-size animals who eat the cross-bars from letters like "t" and "f" and frequently digest whole paragraphs, I decided to take a look for myself and hitched a ride out to the Colonial Press, where the paper is published each night. . , Seems like these type lice live in the little slots underneath each piece of type and like nothing better than a hunk of red-hot lead for a meal. So they crawl out as the type is being set and letters, words, and sentences disappear into thin air. The staff warned me about writing about the type lice, since the darned little lead-eating creatures usually have touchy feelings and might get sore, but I fearlessly write away and scoff at the warnings. The type lice couldn't possibly gETAO.'IN SHRDLU HHHTIJ7? "!$. , . . LLLLLLLLLLIIIII. Name withheld by request. Rolling Stones by Don Maynard MGM has certainly made a bide for historical prominence with its technicolor extravagan za "King Solomon's Mines," which flickered from the Caro lina Theater .screen at the late showing last night and runs to day and tomorrow. I had' the privilege, along with several fraternity groups, 'to sit in on a preview of the movie a few weeks ago, and since then I've been holding my breath un til it returned once more. Like "Trader Horn," "Captains Cou rageous," and "The Jolson Story," this show is one I have to see again. There are only five white peo ple in the entire production. Three of them, Deborah Kerr, Stewart Granger and Richard Carlson, trek through the jungles and deserts of equatorial Africa in search of Miss Kerr's hus band, who is missing after an expedition into the depths of the dark continent. Based on H. Puder Haggard's novel, and filmed on a five months safari which covered 25,000 miles of Africa, the movie is one scene after another of vi vid and colorful action. The theater-gcer sees an ac tual stampede- of 6,000 jungle animals, ceremonial dances of the seven-foot-tall Watussi tribesmen filmed in their vil lage and a true-to-life fight to the death between the rightful claimant to the Watussi throne and his rvial. ' "King Solomon's Mines" was produced by Sam Zimbalist, from whose fertile mind has coma such hits as "Boom Town" and "Thirty Seconds Over To kyo." Compton Bennet and An drew Marlon handled direction of the picture during the two years and eight months of pre paration. From headquarters established in Nairobi, Kenya, the MGM troupe of 21 technicans and five stars moved thousands of miles across Africa, winding up in Tanganyika. Over 8,000 natives in their natural surroundings were filmed on the trip, repre senting a dozen different tribes. And for their efforts and talent, they were paid in heads of cattle. That's a lot of bull. "King Solomon's Mnies" is the movie fan's chance of a life time to see in full color those animals he has read about in books and pondered over in the crossword puzzles. Zebras, wild beeste, bushbuck, impala, kon- 'goni, gazelle and giraffe, lions elephants, hippos, rhinos, cro codiles and deadly African snakes all perform like troupers. The story centers about Eliza beth Curtis (Miss Kerr) who comes to Nairobi with her broth er John Goode (Carlson) in hopes of locating her lost hus band, Henry. He was searching for the legendary Solomon dia mond mines. Allan Quateimain (Granger) leads their safari . through the most inaccessible parts of the continent in the quest. After crossing the treacherous Zabambari River, they are al most trampled to death in the spectacular stampede of wild animals fleeing form a jungle fire. Approaching the Kaluana Kraal, country of the fierce Ka luana tribe, the white searchers' bearers desert the safari. But the trio is led to the native vil lage by the returning Watussi king, Umbopa. Upon their arrival at the Wa tussi village, the Hollywood cli max of the movie is reached, and the spectator gets his chance to sit back and take a breath. "King Solomon's Mines," com plete with all the unusual names common to the people who in habit the dark regions, is a "must" for the modern theater goer. Not only is it unique for its newness and awe-inspiring color but i'c is bound to be one of his tory's greatest documentary films. Don't miss "King Solomon's Mines." It is as priceless as the old king's gems themselves. ACROSS 1. Spanish for dove 7. Duties 13. Beast 14. Rebellion 15. Devoted lfi. Plant filament 17. Prepare for publication 13. Dutch cheese 20.
