Night Editor for this issue: Rolfe Neill No Money, No Funny Well, you asked for it, and you got it the rebirth of Tarna tion. But you haven't done anything about it. About half of the student body has traded a dollar for a mint of laughs the rest of you -liave laughed it off, forgotten it, repressed it, ignored the Tarnation subscription drive com pletely. . Well, make up your mind. Do you want a humor magazine or don't you? The staff has promised four issues this year, and they're going to see it through even if they have to handprint with grape juice on the back of used postage stamps. This is one time the humor mag is dead serious. They're not kidding. No joke. The situation is no laughing matter. , Give them your dollar and you'll get double your money back. No Vix, No Kicks Man is basically an irrational being. How do we know? Consider the perennial enigma of the Yackety Yack. Every fall the editors of our annual hire photographers to come to Graham Memorial and take pictures of every student for publication iri the spring edition of the yearbook. They draw posters announcing photo schedules for each class. They print notices in The Daily Tar Heel, circulate handbills, and run screaming through the quads so every student will be made aware that it's "now or never" if he cares to be pictured among those in attendance at the University ofNorth Caro lina. So what happens? Yack editor Hugh Gale says, "Our pleas for students to drop by and pose seem to be the signal for everybody to steer clear bf the basement of Graham Memorial You'd think I had a leprosy sign on my chest." Then midway through the spring quarter the elegant, bound volumns roll off the presses with only a pitiful per centage of the student body shown smiling from the glossy pages. Hundreds of indignant students then echo their pro tests that they were categorically ignored by the Yackety Yack because of their grades, their fraternity, their political affiliation, or their family background. If you ask one of the slighted students why he didn't allot ten minutes of the fall quarter to ensure his appearance in the Yack he will swear that nobody told him or nobody told him the exact time or nobody told him it was the last chance. Hugh Gale plans to sleep well, eat heartily, and graduate on schedule whether anybody files for Yack photos or not. If you wish to be included in the 1952-53 annual, conform with the notices appearing regularly on the front page of this newspaper. If not, please remember that we tried everything short of a court subpoena to get you before the cameras and be sure to hold your fire when May rolls around. m r i r r pt r r r r w WLWLZ ZZZ.-WLZ.WLZ.ZZ.

The sol-' utions which have been partial ly attempted range all the way from genocide to loving one an other, but for all practical pur poses the problem is still with us. Probably its significance would still be one of academic abstraction if men hadn't ach ieved a dangerous balance be tween destruction and creation. Now we . are beginning to ask not only with our minds but with our whole selves, "What is the answer? Can man get along with his fellow man the world over?" This Sunday night at 8 p.m. in the Grail Room, the Carolina Political Union plans to discuss a prevalent proposal passivism. This term may be divided into two parts the passive passiv ists and the active passivists. An example of the former was Gandhi's passive 'resistance movement in India; of the latter the American Friends Society work in providing concrete as sistance to the needy. One interesting approach is to study the results of past wars. One probably valid generaliza tion is that wars that end in ne gotiated treaties, in which nei ther side is a victor, usually pro duce longer periods of peace than wars that end. in one sid ed treaties. The U.S. hasn't had a war with Britain since the War of 1812, but only twenty years elapsed between the Treaty of Versailles and Germany's marcn into Poland. Another approach, usually baffling, is to try to find the causes of wars. For instance, the extension of slavery is of ten given as one of the causes of the American Civil War, but practically speaking slavery had reached its economically feasi ble boundaries and so however much men might argue about free or slave territories, the cli mate and the crops that would be raised would determine that Territories lik i Kansas and Ne braska would be free. The tariff is often giar. aj another cause but the tax it in lc&r was as low as it had been since 1818. And so on until one wonders whether there were any rational reasons at all. In addition to history, psy chology has some light to throw on the personality of man. Con flict often stems from frustra tion and if one's reaction to frus tration a result of his child hood can it be reconditioned la ter in life? Or perhaps conflict is an inherent part of life. If so, can it be directed to construct ful ends? No matter what side you take, or whether you take any side at all, you are invitod to come to CPU's discussion on this import ant topic. Drive Carefully Tractors are involved in over half of the farm machinery acci dents, according to the National Safety Council. The principal causes involve falling! from, or being thrown off the tractor, over turning, unguarded power takeoff shafts and violation of traffic rules when operating on the highway. The National Safety Council points out that safe operation of the 3 million tractors now used by farms could .save hundreds of lives and thousands of serious in juries annually. You cannot afford to gamble the loss of a limb or life by operating without the power take off shield in place. Carelessness in handling tractors around ditches can start a trip to the hospital. Jumping off a tractor or making adjustments while in motion is another way to in vite an accident. You can easily lose a child by permitting child ren to operate or hitch a ride on tractors. Never refuel a tractor while the motor is running or extreme ly hot. Avoid leaky fuel lines and accumulations of combustible materials near hot manifolds or exhausts. Store tractor fuels safely and always have a fire ex tinguisher available for an acci dental fire. When operating on the high way, always obey traffic rules and avoid excessive speeds. Stop before entering main highways and use a red flag high up on the tractor to warn motorists of slow moving equipment. Use head lights and taillights after dark. Truman Just Gave A Little Back Platform Talk Drew Pearson The 'Washington Merry-Go-Round Los Angeles When General Eisenhower announced last week that he would publish his income-tax returns, it was presumed that his running mate, Senator Nixon, would do like wise. However, just two hours after the Eisenhower announcement, a statement was issued by Nixon headquarters that the GOP Vice Presidential candidate would not publish his tax returns and that he considered the matter a closed incident. In view of Governor Steven son's complete financial dis closure for ten years, and the pledge that Eisenhower and Senator Sparkman would do the same, Nixon is left in a posi tion where the public now has a right to ask considerably more questions concerning his finan cial position than the brief de tails he gave in his nation-wide telecast. In that telecast Nixon stated that he had been cleared by the law firm of Gibson, Dunn and Crutcher. However, this law firm happens to represent some of Nixon's biggst and most ac tive donors, among them Jack Garland and the Garland estate; also the Union Oil Co., of which Herbert Hoover is a director and owner of shares worth $1,200,000. Hoover was one of the two highest contributors to Nixon's extra-curricular fund. Nixon also stated in his tele cast that Price-Waterhouse, an accounting firm, had checked his expense fund and given him a clean bill of health. It happens, however, that Price-Waterhouse was the ac countant which got caught with such amazing discrepancies in checking the account of the McKesson-Robbins Drug Com pany that they were forced to pay McKesson-Robbins stock holders $500,000 because of their oversight. In the case of the Nixon fund, Price-Waterhouse appeared to be more careful. For, when you read the fine print of their state ment in the newspapers, you find that Price-Waterhouse stated that they had not had time to examine all of the Nixon funds. They also stated that they had examined only one fund handled by Dana Smith, col lector for Nixon, which left the definite deduction that there was at least one other fund. This system of self-examination by self-appointed lawyers and self-appointed accountants is something which Lamar Cau dle or Howard McGrath or others probed by congressional committees never could have got away with. Such a self appointed investigation of the Democrats by the Democrats would have brought howls of protest from the Republicans. However, since Congress is not is session at the moment and since Nixon will not bare his tax returns, it falls to the lot of the press to examine as care fully as possible the unusual expense fund and the financial situation of the man who, if elected, would be one heartbeat away from the presidency. Neighbors will tell you here in the Whittier area, near Los Angeles, that the Nixon family's fortunes have picked up con siderably since Dick was elected to congress. One year after he was elected 1946 the family bought a farm in York County, Pa. The farm was purchased in the name of Dick's father and mother, price not known, and for a while Dick used to go up from Washington to spend weekends on the farm. His father and mother didn't care for the Pennsylvania cli mate, however, and moved back to California. They still own the farm. Back in California, Dick helped get his father a job as postmaster of a U. S .Post Office substation at Friendly Heights, near Whittier. The senior Mr. Nixon secured the job just about the , time his son became a Senator, and while it doesn't pay much $600 it has one im portant advantage. It is located in the Nixon grocery store. Thus, to buy stamps and mail letters, you pass through part of the Nixon store a great help to any merchant. A few blocks down Whittier Boulevard, brother Don Nixon has just opened a swank new drive-in restaurant, replete with palm trees, an orange grove, and tables under the grove. As you drive in, you give your order for food through a microphone, then pick up the food and take it out under the orange trees. The setup must have cost well over $100,000. Know Your Subject Editor: "You ought to write about Al 1 1 99 something you know," Joe said, My fellow student was dead serious. With several minutes before class he knew I could easily pound out all I knew. "Take socialized medicine," Joe said. "You are an authority on that." I coughed. "Well, I'm also an authority on religion, economics, biology, et cetera, and yogi, whatever that is." "Oh," Joe said, "I grant that you are a. whiz, a poor man's Pegler. You spend so much time in research you will become a reverend gray-beard around here before you get out of French four. But you especially know all about socialized medi cine." I dug my toe in the turf and blushed. "Well, I did write that scuttlebutt about how a guy got treated at the infirmary," I said. "It was a devastating at tack on socialized medicine." "That's what I mean," Joe said. "It shows you've inves tigated, read up on the subject, know all the angles. You will go far reporting gossip, unless some misguided city editor kicks your back up between your ears for doing it." j I shuddered. "Leave us not discuss that," I said. "Leave us lemain on socialized medicine." "Fine," Joe said, "you know that subject. Well, I'm neither for or against it, but one thing puzzles me. Why is it our revered legislators, U. S. senators and Dorman Stevenson And Socialism Having an abhorrence of the tendencies toward socialism shown by the administration of the Democratic Party sipce the begmning of the term of the late Franklin . Roosevelt, I am a sup porter of the Republican Party. Since - there seems to be no Young Republican Club on the campus, it is imperative that in dividual students take the initia tive in presenting the Repub lican case to Carolina students. We as students are perhaps more vitally concerned with this election than any other group because we are expected to be the leaders in the near future, and the results in November will affect us deeplyl If the Democratic Party should win again, the citizens of the United States will find their tax burdens becoming heavier and heavier, and the waste and no doubt corruction increasing continually. The election is not actually a matter of Adlai Stevenson vs. Dwight D. Eisenhower. It is a matter of the socialistic poli cies of the Democratic Party against the free enterprise poli cies of the Republican Party. And this is not the isolationis ts, monopolistic Republcan Party of some years ago. The Democrats are not running against Herbert Hoover, al though they would like to leave that impression in the minds of voters. They are running against 4 a clear-thinking, pro gressive group. And regardless of Stevenson's good intentions, he would be obligated to carry out the Democratic socialism, just as Eisenhower would be obligated to oppose this same socialism. And surely no right thinking American wants socia lism. The Democratic Party would have the voter believe he is get ting something for free when he gets it from the government. Actually, it amounts to nothing more than having someone take the money from your pocket with one hand and give it back to you with the other hand. And a good bit of the original amount is lost in the friction. Anytime the money passes through the hands of the Federal Government, a certain amount must come out for bookkeeping, administering, etc. But the Democrats advocate a trend toward Federal control of al most everything. This naturally causes waste and opens the way to corruption. At the present time, there are enough government employ ees to form a respectable bloc of votes. If the Democrats re Express Yourself representatives that is, who choke at the mention of socia lized medicine, turn in at the Naval Hospital, Bethesda, Md., 3 TTT 1 X T- 3 A 1 and Walter Reed Army hospital when they become ill? Is pri vate medical treatment just for ordinary people?" The bell rang and I started away. "I'll do some heavy re search on it," I said. "Maybe I'll pick up some scuttlebutt at the Goodie Shoppe. See you later." Larry Spooner Demolition Squad? After a jolly ride on the MERRY GO ROUND (though severely shook by Snook) who could mind Capp riding us for being the yokels that we are? My ever loving landsakes who'd trade such natural born plea sures for lovable lil ole POGO? Even if he is the peoples' choice. We've read DOWN IN FRONT and hang our cussed lil heads for not yelling when our cheer leader yelled, "Yell". Gracious "Nose", we had to be coaxed to deliver that thunderous Blue and White. But do we deserve the gigging we got from the Live Spike? We watched Bob Gorham go to great pains to produce an Orientation Program superior to those which have gone before. We saw him pick the best workers he could find and do so without regard to either poli tical or . social affiliation. When the show was over we found that a greater percentage of Frater nity men had been willing to give their time to perpetuate the Cordel turn to power, four years from now they will have increased the number to such a propor tion as to perpetually hold the reins of government. For the majority of governmental em ployees will quite naturally vote for the party in power. Our only hope of alleviating the tax burden upon the indi vidual citizen, which now "is al most unbearable, is to get rid of the Democrats. A party in office consecutively for 20 years quite naturally allows the govern ment to become corrupted and ineffectual. Truly, if we expect to keep our place as a strong nation and as the hope of a free world, we must elect Dwight D. Eisen hower President in November. If we do not, an almost entirely socialized economy strangling individual initiative., and leav ing our country powerless against Soviet aggression will be the result. Off Campus In Atlanta, a man suing for divorce charged that his wife shot at him. The judge, to clear up a technicality, asked the man when the separation from his wife began. "She fired at me five times, Your Honor," the man replied. "I started separating on the first shot. By the fifth shot I had completely separated."
