Interim Editorial Board- ROLFE Managing Editor Business Manager Sports Editor News Ed. j ody Levey Sub. Mgr. Carolyn Reichard Ass't. Sub. Mgr. . Delaine Bradsher Natl. Adv. Mgr Wallace Pridgen Night Editor for this issue: Rolfe Neill Need For Applause When a college newspaper pats you on the back, it is usually looking for a soft spot to stab you. The time comes though for sincere commendation. Therefore and herewith, The Daily Tar Heel offers con gratulations to the following: The Elections Board for its smooth and swift handling of Tuesday's campuswide elections. The voting students who provided the above committee with an unusually large number of votes to count. The also-rans who polled less than a majority of the unusually large vote, but in keeping with traditions, ran a good race. The blood donors who so willingly gave to those who ' are so unwillingly in need. The faculty, sometimes at odds with those they teach, who stood shoulder to shoulder with the students on the issue of Saturday classes. The Carolina football team who stick-with-it-ness last weekend product one victory and promises of many more. Loyal Tar Heel supporters who remained after the Virginia game to stand and sing "Hark the Sound." The Film and Coordination Committees of the Student Union Activities Board for their excellent work in present ing foreign films and editing the campus calendar. The University Administration for requesting appro priation of the necessary funds to build a new Student Union. The Student Entertainment Committee for its presenta tion of outstanding entertainment such as United States Marine Band. All those Tar Heel rooters who are confident that Caro lina will annex Duke Saturday. Express Editor: It seems to me in the short time that I've been here, the University of North Carolina of fers many and varied courses useful in all and any fields of endeavor the graduate decides to enter into. ' Perhaps the most useless of the above mentioned courses are those in some branches of phy sical education. This quarter my physical edu cation schedule is composed of boxing (the thoroughly useless waste of time, unless one intends to be a pugilist, which I do not advise) and tumbling, and. equally usless endeavor. These courses offer absolutely nothing except an inconvenience to the student, and the taking up of valuable time (the better HORIZONTAL 1. insect 4. satiated 9. knock" 12. river in Switzerland 13. straighten 14. river in Brazil 15. a coming 17. at no time 19. plant of lily family 20. function in trigonometry 21. fall flower 23. splash 26. slender finials 27. lose freshness 28. international language 29. pouch 30. asterisks 31. mountain gap 32. hypothetical force " 33. stock 34. fashion 35. flag 37. measures Of distance 38. river in France 39. vend 40. vessels 42. captures 45. dance step 46. run away secretly 48. the turmeric 49. affirmative vote 50. loop with slip knot 7""" 6 7 S 1 lO U 2 fe15 WM zzZz.

I will not condemn, however, some of the beneficial courses of physical education which, no doubt are of some value, such as golf, tennis, and swimming. Most of these, however, are el ectives. Boxing, wrestling, and tumbling on the other hand, are compulsory and of little use either as an enjoyable pastime or as a contributing factor to the physical well-being of the stu dent. Therefore, I feel that the stu dent should be required to take six quarters of physical educa tion. However, he should have his choice of some of the more interesting and practical of these courses.

Bill C. Brown- Tar On My Heels We can expect big things from Student Government now. Or can, we? 1 ' Student Party the party which has never had control of the Student Legislature since the conception of same now has such control, slight though it may be. Some of the big things that can be looked for because of such control is a permanent redistricting of the entire cam pus, especially the town dis tricts, abolishment of the class offices, and an attempt to delay fraternity rushing. . There are plenty of other things you can look for now SP has gained control of Legisla ture. The reason is rather evi dent: SP has never had control of Legislature and so has a huge backlog of old bills unpassed and tabled permanently that will come out of the files and trash cans. UP, on the other hand, with control for over 13 years, has been able to push through whatever pets it once had, and so has become lax. At the same time Student Govern ment has become known as a "do-nothing" dead duckling. It was time for a change lo cally as well as nationally and such change has been put through in both places. Last Spring a furor was raised. Student Party finally began to realize it would have to admit what it really is a party of dormitory men and women. The Fraternity and Sorority cliques have been fully represented in Student Govern ment, having had virtual con trol of at least one of the three branches of Student Government since it began. SP, on the other hand, at tempting to represent both fac tions of our campus, has failed in some cases to represent any one. Now they are representing someone. They are represent ing, primarily, dorm residents and other non-fraternity men. The UP is representing the rest. It is a pref abrication of the truth to put it any other way. This doesn't mean the SP is going to close down the fraternities and it doesn't mean the UP is going to evict non-fraternity men from campus. It unfortunately means there are two factions on campus, each represented by different parties. The fraternity men realized this long ago. Now there is an awakening to this fact by dormitory men. Three weeks ago I predicted a large turnout at the polls this fall. Over 40 of the student body did turn out for, I still believe, one reason; an increas ing interest in S.G. This large turnout loudly denounced the UP for the first time as far as Legislature is concerned. I say that because this was not a bat tle of personalities as the elec tion of the president lends it self to become. This denounce ment was securely on a party basis. The denouncement came from the dormitories and neither par ty should nor will forget it. But now SP is really in for it as dorm men look to see if the party they have supported is really for them. The piddling few fraternity men who have supported SP are going to want to know if the SP is realy the fraternity-hater they are tod it is by their "brothers." The other fraternity men are already lost and so look for the worst because they are for the most part made up of men who believe the fraternities are the only thing at UNC and that any non-Greek is just so much trash." They have looked for, and in a great many cases found, this point of view among UP lead ers. There are quite a few UP's who realize this, and dislike if, since UP like SP is made up of two factions. At any rate, this is a big year for Student Government and SP is in a position not to be envied by UP. The increasing interest in Student Government by the student body is going to have to be met by an Increasing and beneficial program from the Legislature. Anyone for tiddle winks? "Hello, Ike S?r9SZ T VwSoiMTCMi POST Oa. The Washington Merry-Go-Round WASHINGTON Generai Eis enhower has received two in vitations to visit Latin America and is considering the possibil ity of making a good-neighbor trip there before his inaugura tion Jan. 20. The two invitations are from Mexico and Chile, both among the few remaining democracies in the western hemisphere. Though Chile is now under the presidency of General Ibanez, he was elected in a free elec tion and has shown no tenden cies toward dictatorship, though he staged an anti-U.S.A. cam paign to get elected. The Eisen hower trip would help to melt Ibanez frigidity. If Eisenhower makes the pil grimage, he would follow in the footsteps of Herbert Hoover who made a good-will tour of Latin America between the pe riod of his election and in auguration. Some of Ike's advisers urge that since Latin Americans gen erally hoped Stevenson would be elected, he should go; thus dispelling Latin-American pre dictions of a return to isolation ist imperialism under the Re publicans. Sen. Lyndon Johnson of Tex as will be the new leader of Senate Democrats all right, but some Democratic Senators are not at all happy about it. They figure that "Lyin'-Down," as he is nicknamed, will follow a pro Republican line and there won't be much Democratic opposition to G.O.P. policies.

When freshmen Senators such as "Scoop" Jack son of Washington and Mike Mansfield of Montana were pressured by Lyndon there wasn't much they could say ex cept that they would support him. Later, Mansfield was asked by an older-Southern Senator why he had been stampeded into en dorsing Johnson. The new Sen ator from Montana didn't have much of an answer. "Don't you think it's healthy to have Texans leading the par ty in both Houses of Congress Sam Rayburn in the House and Johnson in the Senate?" Mans field was asked. "I thought Lyndon was Sam Rayburn's boy," Mansfield re plied. "And if there's anything I can ever do to repay Rayburn for the favors he's done me I'd like to do it." Senators Paul Douglas of Illi nois, Hubert Humphrey of Min nesota, and Guy Gillette of Iowa tried to organize opposition to Johnson with Gillette urging Senator Lister Hill of Alabama to become minority leader. Sen ator Pastore of Rhode Island also urged Senator Clements of Kentucky to serve. When Senator Fulbright of Arkansas sounded out Lister Hill, however, the Alabama Solon replied: "No, sir, I had enough of be ing senate leader. If Lyndon wants that job let him have it. "I don't know but what he's making an awful mistake, though," philosophized Hill. "He's up for re-election two years from now and look what's happened to McFarland in Ari zona and what happened to Scott Lucas in Illinois. "Every Democratic leader of the Senate of late has been de feated. And it's bound to hap pen again. For the man who's Senate leader just hasn't got the time to give to his own state. So folks back home turn him out when his term is up. "No, sir," concluded HilL "If Lyndon wants that job, let him have it." It isn't supposed to be known, but Governor Stevenson will come to Washington on or about Dec. 1 to spend an evening with President Truman and chart the future course of the Democratic Party. ' Truman will pretty much turn over the party to Stevenson at that time. One thing they will discuss is the chairmanship of the Demo cratic National Committee, now in the hands of Stevenson's for mer law associate, Stephen Mitchell. There are a lot of divergent views among Demo crats as to what lost them the election, but one thing they all agree on is that Mitchell didn't help. Mitchell did not call one meet ing of the Democratic National Committee during the cam paign, though urged to do so repeatedly. He would not even call regional meetings. He an tagonized so many local leaders that many refused even to call him on the phone. Stevenson may insist on keep ing Mitchell, but Truman and everyone around him will urge Express Yourself Editor: Here is a sincere apology to Bob Midgett and the two patrons referred to in this column yes terday. I assure you the Satur day morning letter writing is of now no more. Bob, the atti tude in which you took my re quests is regrettable as this was not intended. The fine patronage accorded the Graham Memorial Barber Shop this season is great ly appreciated by the manage ment. We shall continue to serve you to the very best of our abil ity, and shall continue in our efforts to locate an additional barber so that the shop may render you the services of an other barber. Remember you look best for less by patronizing your barber shop in the base ment of the Graham Memorial. Thomas K. Gunier, Jr. Editor: Having access, through the ef forts of our Consolidated Uni versity Council, to your news paper, a number of us were thoroughly amazed to see that only 350 members on your cam pus attended the mass meeting at which Ham Horton denounc ed. This is a letter written by those unfortunates who have quietly, therefore ineffectively, suffered the ordeal of those classes to which you are so op posed; and though we envy you your two-day freedom, we're al so behind you all the way in your efforts to suppress same. Nevertheless, it stands to reason that a name on a piece of paper, in petition form, is not nearly as potent as some true spirit ex pressed throughout the student body; why, one of the most im portant arguments against these classes would be hearing those Tar Heel voices in unison in stead of by one mouth! So, how's about some action, people! Woman's College "Imports" that he be eased out. Taftites aren't at all happy over the appointment of Herbert Brownell, former campaign manager for Governor Dewey, as chief patronage adviser for General Eisenhower. In their opinion this means that jobs, for which the G.O.P. has been waiting 20 long, lean years, will now go to the Dewey wing of the Republican Party. Brownell is under instructions to clear appointments with G.O.P. National Chairman Ar thur Summerfield, who is a Taft man, and to work with the Re publican National Committee. Furthermore, he is only to han dle jobs below cabinet rank. Nevertheless, leaders of the Taft wing are not at all happy. They foresaw something like this immediately after the Chi cago convention at which Dewey and Brownell were largely re sponsible for nominating Eisen hower. And it was fear that the Deweyites might take over patronage that caused Taft to write a special patronage pro vision into the "Declaration of Morningside Heights" after his breakfast with Eisenhower. Brownell went down to Au gusta quite unobtrusively and the first thing the Taft people knew he had come back to New York with the job-screening ar- fSee PEARSON, Page 4)
