No other element of the population does so much time wasting as college under-graduates. I (Louis Graves) am not speaking from hearsay. I have been there and I know. And so does everybody else who looks back upon his college career. The University already has Saturday classes for law, med ical and public health students and for graduate students, and there is no reason why undergraduates should not be on the same schedule. If you have talked, as I have many a time, with young men who have completed their undergraduate courses and then studied law and medicine, you have heard them say, "I never knew what work was till I entered the law school," or "till I entered the medical school." Every student who comes to the University has a large part of his education here paid for by the State. A great ma jority of them are able to be University students because of the sacrifices made for them by their parents. It is contrary to all reason and decency that they should not devote more time than they do now to the main purpose for which they are supposed to be here. I hope that the trustees will not allow themselves to be pressured into a change of mind by the petitions against the new schedule that are being signed by students. A great ma jority of the students are still minors and are certainly not mature enough to decide on how the University's program of studies should be laid out. The decision should be made by persons with knowledge and experience. (The Editorial Board of The Daily Tar Heel reprints Mr. Louis Graves' views in the interest of publishing a full coverage of a very controversial subject. The Board does not concur with Mr. Graves' views; in fact violently opposes them, but probably is not mature enough to answer them. Therefore, the board will allow each reader to decide the obvious answer for himself.) Keeping Vosted On Trees When Joyce Kilmer wrote his immortal poem, "Trees", obviously he had never seen one with a poster on it. Posters, of course, have their place, but must it be on the campus trees? It would be better that they be placed on posts, for which they are named, or even on bulletin boards which are provided for just such emergencies. George, the campus dog, a tree lover from the word whoof , vigorously supports this viewpoint. "Trees," sez George, "should be seen, not covered with posters." Candidates who have any desire to swing the always pow erful Botany vote, should heed this warning post haste. Right now it's hard to see the forest for the posters.

MM i- I Dorman Cordell i 4 ' Stewpot In the days of old, men served strange gods, and the strange gods were represented by high priests, who were supposed to look after the people. v After much thoughtful con templation, a system was worked out which the people agreed was fine, with rewards distributed according to the amount of work done, and with everyoone being free over each week-end. And for many moons they went hap pily along, with little or no gov ernment. But after a while, the high priests murmured among them selves and said, "We are not being recognized enough. The people are looking after them selves too much. We must exert our authority once again, to show them that we are the high priests." They thought much about what they could do to remind the people of the importance of high priests. And they talked with the money-changers. "Make them work an extra day each week," cried the money-changers. "For there is too much reveling in foreign lands -during the free periods. We must hold the people here in our own land, so they will cough up more of the green stuff (in those days, lettuce was the form of mone tary exchange), that we may prosper and grow fat." v When consulted for his view points, the Minister of Propa ganda was all for it. "No other element of the population does ' so much time-wasting as the people of this country." And then he sat back on his easy chair to rest a while between his morning stroll and his after noon strolL And so the word went out among the population that an extra day of work was to be the rule henceforth over all the kingdom. But the people were much wroth against the high priests, and rose up in arms and offered supplications to the strange gods to slay the high priests for such awful tyranny. Word went out over all the kingdom that there would be a mass assembly to implore the wrath of the gods upon the priests. But only a small group appeared for the assembly, be cause everyone was too busy raving among his fellow men of the injustice of such a move. Thus, disagreement and dis sention ran along the length and breadth of the nation between the priests and their higher-up associates, and the good people of the kingdom. And while they wrangled among themselves, a heathen tribe came out f the wilderness and captured them. And the young were eaten, and the oth ers were made into slaves. The moral of this, story is: Don't worry about Saturday classes, whether we do or don't have. It's futile for the Army will get you in the end anyhow. Express Yourself How nice it is to have a beau tiful gym such as we have here at the University. There are provisions inside for swimming, wrestling, boxing, handball, in fact almost any sport you can name. However for those who are actively interested in weight lifting and body building, the facilities are all too inadequate. These last consist of two bars, an antiquated replica of what at one time, I take it, was a plat form, and two benches whose merits are doubtful indeed. Now, we don't . ask much. A small place somewhere, any where, and a little more equip ment. I admit the crowds at Kenan were not too big this season but it wouldn't hurt the budget too much, would it? There are those who would be grateful if this were done. If they could just give us a room somewhere we'll try to rustle up some more equipment. Winter will soon be here and though it does seem a little rus tic or Bohemian I don't particu uarly relish the idea of trying to clean 160 standing ankle deep in the driven snow. Ron Levin (The welghtilfters arouni here don't seem to carry much weight around here. Ed.) - rr iSyifH ? t 5 The Washington Merry-Go-Round Washington While the time of arrival, etc., should not be revealed, General Eisenhower has decided that it would be foolish for him to go to the Far East without stopping at one of the most controversial spots in that area Formosa. Accordingly, he will visit Chiang Kai-Shek and inspect his troops with a view to possible use of three divisions of Chinese -Nationalists in Korea later. This is an extremely contro versial subject which has been debated back and forth between the State Department, the Pen tagon, and Senators favoring Chiang Kai-Shek. The Joint Chiefs of Staff have argued that the time and expense of equip ping Chiang's men would be considerable compared with the risk that they might surrender to the enemy when engaged in battle. However, General Eisenhower figures that this'is something he can best decide for himself after inspecting the troops him self, therefore, the trip to For mosa will be one of the most important parts of the Korean pilgramage. In fact, it's possible he may avoid Japan altogether. It hasn't leaked out yet, but two sergeants in the U. S. Air Force have been caught trying to sell military secrets to the Communist in Korea. They now face a possible death penalty as traitors to their country. The two sergeants tried to make a deal to sell information for cold cash to a man they f?AJC";T"W-HUr,A ) I I T MAY BE.

However, he turned out to be an Air Force undercover man. The incident isn't a savory one. , But, unfortunately, these things sometimes happen in wartime. The Senate Elections Subcom-" mittee, charged with the job of probing fellow senators, is now in a lather over what to do with its investigation of ten ser ious charges placed against Sen ator McCarthy of Wisconsin. These charges were brought by Senator Benton of Connecti cut on Aug. 6, 1951. Nothing con clusive has happened in the year and three months that has elapsed since. At first McCarthy tried to block the probe. How ever, the full Senate voted 60 to 0 against him. After that, Mc Carthy tried to bulldoze com mittee members, brought coun- ter-charges against Senator Benton, and induced two mem bers of the subcommittee to re sign. Senator Benton has -welcomed any investigation of his fi nances, has offered the commit tee his income-tax returns, and only last week offered to testify about himself if and when the committee wanted him. But Mc Carthy has ducked. Though Senators Welker of Idaho and Gillettee of Iowa have been induced to resign from the committee, another Republican, Sen. Bob Hendrick son, despite considerable pres sure, has stuck to his guns. Sen. Mike Monroney of Okla homa, a Democratic Committee member, left for Europe without even telling colleagues, but Sen. Tom Hennings of Missouri, com mittee chairman of the probe, and Hendrickson seem deter mined to go through with it. Committee investigators who have been digging into Mc Carthy's weird financial empire have found amazing transac tions and cash deposits. For in stance, during the one term Mc Carthy has served in the Sen ate, he deposited $24,388.09 in cash alone. During the same pe riod, deposits of checks from unindentif ied sources totaled $65,592.57. Yet McCarthy has consistent ly dodged giving the committee any explanation of his strange transactions. Many Senators, including Re publicans, feel that for the hon or of the Senate these matters should be cleared up one way or the other. They recall the probe of Sen. Elmer Thomas of Okla homa which was started by Sen. Homer Ferguson of Michigan, only to be dropped abruptly after Thomas wrote Ferguson a letter threatening to expose the dealership his family received from the Chrysler Corporation. These suspended, inconclusive investigations, plus the Nixon expense fund, have given the public the impression most sen ators are subsidized, which is not the case. And the majority of the Senate as indicated by the 60 to 0 vote of confidence want these matters cleared up one way or the other. -John Taylor-RevieWS Why is it that Chapel Hill is plagued with long stretches, of movies at which even Holly wood shudders, and then when worth while films do find their way here, they, always come at the same time? This is a ques tion that has long troubled your reviewer, and one to which he has yet to find a reasonable solution. As a case in point wit ness the fact that over the week end students will be -presented with not one, but two movies that are worth more than casual attention. They are "The Prison er of Zenda," which begins a two-day engagament at the Car olina on Sunday and "The Quiet Man," which comes to the Var sity tomorrow and will be there through Tuesday. Both features will be shown at the midnight shows tonight. - "The Prisoner of Zenda," bas ed on the novel of the same name, can be dismissed with the comment that it is an exception ally good hokum movie. Pro duced by M.G.M., masters at this form of entertainment, it is full of battle royals, fair damsels in distress, dastardly villans, and self-sacrificing heroes. The stars are Stewart Granger and De borah Kerr, old hands at castle storming, and most everybody should get a kick out of seeing them ply their wares. "The Quiet Man" cannot be discussed quite so simply be cause it falls into no fixed cate gory. The John Ford production is the first American film ever to win three prizes at the Venice Film Festival quite a recom mendation and is without doubt one of the finest pictures of the year. Filmed in techni color against the natural, emer ald landscape of Ireland so beautiful that it alone is worth the price of admission it is the story of Sean Thornton (John Wayne), who returns to his na tive Ireland from America with the idea of settling down to a peaceful, uneventful existence. His plan is foiled by the spitfire Mary Kate (Maureen O'Hara), her drunken, brawling brother (Victor McLaglen), a match making busybody (Barry Fitz gerald), and any number of othei humorous, and typically Irish characters. The film climaxes in a gruelling marathon battle be tween Sean and the brother, after which, on the theory that a good fight makes everybody friends, the happy ending comes. This show, a blending of an un usual, human, and amusing story, gorgeous landscapes, and fine performances by each mem ber of the cast, is a masterpiece of its kind and is most highly recommended for students' en tertainment. Blind Mice Editor: Millions of dollars for bricks, and not one cent for light bulbs. This seems to be the slogan of the chemistry department. Ev ery day that we go into 206 Venable, the lights get dimmer and dimmer. One day when we enter our classroom, we'll ex pect to find it in total darkness, but class must go on. Along with all the other chemistry students, we would appreciate some light on the subject in the near future. Four Blind Mice. Chazz Friedman Leonard H. Grodsky Harvey G. Tilles Ron Levin
