By the time you read this the final balloting will have been completed, the volcanic fury of the campaign will have simmered down to -a dim echo and the raucous party banners relegated to the systematic obliteration of the city disposal authorities. One of the presidential candidates will bask in the mellow afterglow of victory. The other will watch his once-vibrant aspirations settle into the limbo of defeat. One party will feel as though the nation is theirs. The other will think America is lost. Fortunately, both will be wrong. Regardless whether the next occupant of the White House is a beaming General from Kansas or a proven administrator from Illinois, the United States of America will continue as one of the few remaining places on earth where a man can choose his own occupation, succeed or fail by dint of his own perspiration, sleep undisturbed by the hobnail boot or the midnight knock on the door, and shout his unpopular con victions into the eardrums of the masses. The foundations of our civilization are not likely to be rent asunder by a simple change of executives. We reject the glandular ravings which warn us that Adlai will lead us through "galloping socialism" and Ike will hurl us into war. A bi-partisan Congress will continue to debate the same is sues with the final say-so resting ultimately with the people. The President with his veto, the Supreme Court with its rul ings, and Congress with legislation will continue to eye one another vigilantly always ready to throw a body block when one branch steps out of bounds. We believe that no matter how the election went last night, America will be the winner. Why? Perhaps the best explanation came from the lips of a newly-arrived Russian immigrant in New York who, when asked his opinion of our system of government, solemnly replied with a shrug, "What difference does it make? Any system would work over here." John Reviews There is only one great movie coming up this week, but there are a number of films which al so demand students' attention. Two of the latter will be show ing today. At the Carolina "Spanish Serenade" will be on display.

Chuck Hauser- Tar Heel At Large . FORT BRAGG We've got an interesting innovation down here at this sand hills Army post. Elsewhere around the North State, young male citizens sweat out a slip of paper which comes through the mails bearing greetings from their friends and neighbors. Here 'we sweat out a slip of paper which isn't nearly so cozy. It comes through the mails with greetings from the Secretary of the Army, and its essence is that the addressee is shortly to em bark on a pleasure cruise by boat or airplane, departing from the west coast, and landing at the port of Pusan. My slip came late last week. Maybe I sound crazy to you, but in a way I'm glad that I am going. The job"' of the United States Army is to defend free dom, on the shores of the North American continent or in a foreign land, depending on where an aggressor strikes at the free peoples of the world. At present the aggressor is waging war on a once-beautiful peninsula in the eastern hemis phere, which its age-old people call Chosen, the "Land of the Morning Calm." The Kingdom of Chosen, known to the modern world as Korea, was founded in the north part of the peninsula by the Chinese in the 12th Century, B.C. Through the centuries, the little country has seen many a "waf7but not until the 20th Cen ' tury did one appear as devastat ing as the present conflict, which has raged up and - down the peninsula, laying waste the land that once was known as one of the most beautiful in the world. Korea is no longer beautiful. It is bleak, barren and burned out. It is scarred both physically . and psychologically, but the Korean people, in their patient, Oriental way, ; know that they will come through this war as they have come through all the others. Our job as American soldiers is to help them come through the war help them regain their battle-scarred land from - the Red aggressors who have over run it. That is why I am glad to be going to the Land of the Morning Calm. CHAPEL HILL Back in the "Land of the Morning Hang over" for the weekend, I begin to realize that what I will miss most when I hit the dusty trail for the Far East Command will be Chapel Hill. The government, happily, gives us plenty of advance no tice these days on . overseas shipment. My orders tell me to report to the west coast for ship" ment early in February, which gives me three months to fight the War-of Fort Bragg before I depart. The schedule will place me on Sniper Ridge just about the middle of the winter, but at least I can look forward to the spring, and think of the azaleas blooming on the Hill,., and I'm speaking of Chapel, not White Horse. A tip to the draft-agers in the audience: Don't take Chapel Hill for granted. It is the most wonderful spot in the world, and you won't begin to realize that fact until you are forced the reaction of five couples, who discover suddenly that due to a legal technicality, they are not actually married. Some of the episodes are touching; some are hysterically funny. But the best is the one in which Ginger Rogers and Fred Allen play a husband and wife radio team who can't stand each other, but are heard over the ether every morning billing and cooing over cups of well-advertised coffee. Miss Rogers and Allen play their parts to the hilt, as do the rest of the all-star cast, which in cludes Victor Moore, Paul Doug las, and Mitzi Gaynor. Oh, yes, for the Marilyn Monroe addicts and who isn't these' days she's in there too. Down Beat You needn't be a Gene Krupa to play drums if they're elec tronic.

The Washington Meny - WASHINGTON As the U. S. A. emerges from the hottest po litical campaign in 20 years some people may be rubbing their heads and wondering to leave it. Don't let the books slide, as I did when I was in school. You have plenty of time for extra curriculars; partying, dating and studying, too, if you'll just use it properly. You'll probably have more fun in college than at any other . time in your life, but don't let it take over the entire 24 hours in each day. Save some of that time out for the work which will mean something to you after, you leave school. It's a helluva note to preach one thing after practicing an other, according to the old say ing, but there's another adage which tells us that" hindsight is better than foresight. And I'm looking back. BRIEF ONES: Has anyone heard the Republicans bragging about the Hoover administra tion? . . . Three cheers for Her bert Block, the Washington Post (and Daily Tar Heel) car toonist whose marvelous, if de finitely one-sided, sketches have been displaying the best sense of humor on politics so far . . . And four cheers for Clifton Utley, the NBC commentator whose Sunday night (WPTF, 11:15) commentary gives us the most down-to-earth, sensible thinking of the decade. And I defy you to try to. tell which side of the political fence he's sitting on. . . VEP.T - STATES 0i L A MOKALVICTOJW ) Sincerest Form Of Flattery" Drew Pearson whether we can ever get back to an even keel and pull togeth er as a united nation. The answer is that, although feelings have run high, the cur rent bitterness hasn't anywhere near approached the mud-slinging of many other notable elec tions. And out of all of these, with the exception of Lincoln's election, the nation emerged United and proceeded to forget the name-calling of the cam paign. Take one of the lesser elec tions of the past the 1880 cam paign when James A. Garfield, Republican, defeated Gen. Win field Hancock, Republican. Gar field got smeared for supposed ly receiving a $329 dividend from the ill-fated credit mobil ier, was accused of stealing bed ding from a Southern widow and of refusing to pay a tailor's bill in Troy, N. Y. The Democrats even forged Garfield's name on a letter pro posing the immigration of Chi nese to California, while Han cock, in turn, was described by the Chicago Tribune as doing nothing "but eat, drink and en joy himself sensually." Garfield and the Republicans won by a small margin. Hottest campaign of all fol lowed four years later, by which time the Democcrats had been out for 24 years, and put up Grover Cleveland in an all-out effort to recapture power. The GOP candidate, James G. Blaine, was immediately at tacked as tainted by corruption and having "wallowed in spoils like a rhinoceros in an African ' pool."

Burn this letter." From this came the Demo cratic campaign chant: . , . "Burn this letter! Burn this letter Kind regards to Mrs. Fisher." Also: "Blaine! Blaine! James G. Blaine! .The Con-ti-nen-tal liar from the state of Maine." . The Republicans countered with the charge that Cleveland had carried on illicit relations with a 36-year-old widow, Maria Halpin, who bore him an illegitimate child." Cleveland admitted this, countered by stat ing that he had paid for the child's support. Whereupon the Republicans chanted: "Ma! Ma! Where's my Pa? Gone to the White House. Ha! Ha! Ha!" At the height of this mud slinging which far surpassed any modern campaign, a group of clergymen called on Blaine and accused the Democrats of "Rum, Romanism and Rebel lion." Blaine was imimediately charged with being anti-Cath-olici; this tipped the scale and cost him the election Nearest approach to the atti tude of some people toward President Truman today was during the midterm of Andrew Johnson, who took office after Lincoln's assassination.

Louis Kraar- Party Line "What does the Legislature ever do anyway?" someone asked the other iay with a frown. Campus politicians gave hini some answers filled with poly syllabic words and political doubletalk, and he slinked off just as confused. The truth of the matter is: .Legislature does have some de finite powers which are usually exercised. The main things they actually do are appropriate the student budget, set up penalties for offenses by students, advise other groups, and POLITIC. The latter seems to be the main preoccupation of both par ties about ninety-five percent of the time. Most legislators will admit this when cornered. But they are always careful to add, "don't quote me though." BACK ROOM BOYS: Here'o how on? party nominates: the aspiring statesman talks to tho head of the party. The party head arranges for the right peo ple to talk for him at the party meeting and brother he's in! Another party is all but beg ging freshmen to attend nomina tions because of lack of pros pective nominees. The yearlings should learn their XYZ's of political manuevering young that way.

Touring the country during the Congressional elections in 1866, Johnson was called a "traitor," "renegade," "great apostate." Unlike the children which have heckled Truman, his crowds meant business, and in Indianapolis, Johnson was driv en from the platform by an an gry mob yelling "we "want noth ing to do with traitors!" and which tore down his banners and killed several people. Hatred of Johnson was at white heat because he, a for mer Democrat, proposed that southern civil war leaders bi forgiven. Bitterness against Lincoln during his election campaign was of course worst of all. The Charleston, S. C. Mercury de scribed him as "a horrid look ing wretch . . . sooty, scoundrel ly in aspect, a cross between the horse swapper and the night man . . . He is a lanksided Yan kee of the uncleanliest visage and of the dirtiest complexion. Faugh! After him what decent white man would be President." WELUAt?
