Night Editor for this issue: Biff Roberts Express Yourself Editor: First, let me say that my "smug" answer to the "irritated undergraduate, enmeshed in the wicked, grinding wheels of Phy sical Education" was wholly my answer and no way a reply from the Physical Education Department. The Department would " never stoop to answer such a letter. Secondly, Coach Jamerson's letter was in no way a reply either. It just happen ed to appear above mine on the same day. Neither would Coach Jamerson stoop so low. There is a case' of a boy here who made zero on the motor ability test you took as a fresh man. I have had toys in my classes who cannot kick a foot ball at all, cannot do one chin up or push up feats that prob ably even you think are very simple and these cases are not uncommon. Just look in any Fundamentals class. The Physi cal Education Department is not concerned with the athlete (about 10 percent of the enroll ment). It is more concerned with the 90 per cent of average and below average boys. It teaches a boy different skills, giving him a variety of exer cise and muscular activity. It is a proven fact that the life expectancy of a physically fit person is longer, his life more wholesome, happier, and clean er. If you are doomed to a life at a desk with no physical ac tivity, I pity you. But why must you take such thing as boxing, tumbling, and wrestling? In each of these ac tivities there are exercises and coordination particular to- them and to no other sport which one must learn for all-around phy sical fitness and well-being. Do you take Algebra because you are going to be a mathemati cian? Language because you are going to be a linguist, English, science, and so on?

Check Goodin Editor: A Proclamation to All Christian Peoples Rejoice, all you Christians, and be thankful. For it has been granted to you to see, in your days on earth, the end of all quarrels and misunderstandings among the followers of Jesus Christ. This year you may cele brate the birth of Our Lord while resting in the firm assur ance that all Christians will soon be bound into one, insep arable body. , For there is among us a sage, newly discovered, who, by some strange action of Divine Provi dence, has been enabled to dis cern exactly what things are the necessary1 attributes of a true Christian. It is therefore within the power of this sage, known to his fellow men as Wil bur Boice, '55, to put an end to the many struggles which have been waged almost incessantly for the past two thousand years among people who believe themselves to be Christians. The numerous tracts and dis courses which must surely fol low the brilliant epistle pub lished in the Daily Tar Heel on Sunday, December seventh, will no doubt answer all of the theo logical questions which have puzzled the last sixty or seventy generations.

King Features Syndicate Joe Raff- Riff By Raff Everybody who has ever pen ciled a flourishing signature on the last page of a short story or English theme has done so prob ably with the aid of a kick in the pants by his ego. Some cf these Saunders Saroyans would most likely get an additional boot from their respective ids if they could see their verbal blood in print. The author of this Riff is just so constructed, and he was not satisfied over the summer months to vacation in typewrit ten obscurity. He had to try to become obscure on a national lev el. All of this has to do with the headline in the December 2nd Durham Sun and the egomania of one of its readers. The headline of that issue read, "Taft Hits Ceiling Over Cabinet." It seemed to strike a humorous note somewhere and the chuckle sounded a thoughtful note in an other place. Right away the idea presented itself that that news paper streamer might appeal to a magazine like the Readers Di gest which collects printed words of double-entente. I had recalled that one of the requirements of the Digest is that before they pub lish it, it must have previously been in print. I learned this by the ditty I sent in to the Readers Di gest editors this summer and the rejection I received from them for the same reason that it had not previously been in print. It is understandable why it had nev er before appeared as willfully published by someone (you will also understand by the end of this column). I am sending the headline to Readers Digest, but I am once again including a copy of this summer's offering. (And English students ask how the writer takes advantage of the reader!) Here it. is: ' Friix Hops To It Listen to me, my darlings, About a boy named Fritz. He sat down on Anheuser Bush And tore his pants to Schlitz. Pabst you won't believe me. Pabst, but it's the truth. I know he's learned his lesson and He's a sad Budweiser youth. Readers Digest realizes the nec essity of humor (that's why I think this poem was rejected). I also think that humor is some thing that a college newspaper or presidential candidate should not be without. I would like to see the day when the campus partici pated in this by sending in their Odgen Gnashery or anecdotes which they think are worthy of print. If The Daily Tar Heel prop er won't use them, the author of this column would be glad to in-. corporate them in his Riff and accept credit for them. Off Campus "Have you ever had a wild desire to scream in the library? Or jump up and down on the dining room tables? Or go to class barefooted?" asks the Ala bamian of Alabama College. In an effort to raise money for var ious charities, Alabama College is letting its students fulfill all their "wild desires" for a price. They make a contribution to charity and do what they please. The following ad appeared in the UCLA Daily Bruin: "Will the blonde young lady who wore sun glasses Thursday morning . (besides other things) be in the cafeteria between 11 and 12 a.m.?" Maybe we ought to start a tradition like this one. "It is said that if a Wellesley College girl walks her beau around the lake and garden three times without proposal, she has a perfect right to push him in-the drink." The garden' was designed by a math profes sor whose love was thwarted for a president of Wellesley (the presidents there are always women) . "If you keep a careful written record of your dream," said the University of Nebraska English instructor, "you will find that -you dream of the future." ' A student, whose sleep was evidently undisturbed, queried, "But what if you don't dream?" A lazy voice from the back of the room drawled the proph etic pronouncement, "No future." Look-Maybe They'll Drew The Washington Merry - Go WASHINGTON One signif icant report sent to General Eisenhower in mid-Pacific is from the British, vigorously op posing any expansion of the Korean war. The British protest came when the U. S. sent a message to the U.N. shortly before Ike left for Korea, stating that we had un der consideration a broadening of the Korean operation by: 1. A blockade of Chinese ports 1 A blockade of Chinese ports. , 2 Air Force intruder mis sions against the Chinese mainland; in brief, bombing beyond the Yalu River. This proposal caused the Brit ish to have fits. Prime Minister Churchill was adamant, furious, and would have no part of it. While the reasons for British opposition were not set forth in detail, the reasons are well known both in the Pentagon and to those aboard the USS Helena. First, the British fear any block ade of the China ports would finish their sizable trade with China. Second, it would bring an abrupt termination of their lease on Hong Kong which still has 40 years to run. This exchange with the British was partly for exploratory pur poses, so that President-Elect Eisenhower would have all points of view on hand during his Pacific trip. The opposite point of view is undoubtedly in the secret Mac Arthur plan for ending the Korean war namely, bombing the Chinese mainland and blockading Chinese ports. Gen eral MacArthur has always favored these two moves, , un questionably had them in mind when he told the National As sociation of Manufacturers he had a secret plan for ending the Korean war. These are. two of the conflict ing, difficult alternatives, which the president-elect is certain to be discussing in mid-Pacific with his Secretary of State, his THINK VOU . IWA A GUIPlN' COUU?

President Truman invited ev ery cabinet member who had ever served with him, except two, to his big farewell dinner last week. The guest of honor was Adlai Stevenson. Looking around the giant horseshoe table at which were seated such old-timers as Hen ry Wallace, Henry Morgenthau, Fanny Perkins and Frank Walk er, Secretary of Defense Bob Lovett remarked: "It looks like the Lord's fare well supper." Several cabinet members, once fired by Truman, were in vited back for the last dinner, among them ex-Secretary of Defense Louey Johnson and former Attorney General How ard McGrath. "Everyone's here who ever served with me," the president remarked to Louey Johnson, "except for two Jimmie Byrn es and Krug. I just didn't think I wanted them here." Julius Krug was a Secretary of the Interior recommended by Bernie Baruch, with whom Tru man broke; ex-Secreary of State Byrnes, also a , Baruch man, was bitterly critical of Truman during the recent cam paign. After the dinner, the presi dent rose and proposed a toast to the "best cabinet anyone could have." He also made a brief speech about the future. Recalling that the atomic age was just begin ning an age which would bring forth new miracles the presi dent said: , "I wish I could live for an other 50 years. Sometimes I wish I could be 18 again. In fact, I'd like to live my whole life over again if I" could only have my wife and daughter to live it over withme." Chief Justice Fred Vinson then made a little speech in tri bute to Truman, pointing out that present-day critics seldom an'ou' popple M5 vJ5' ICOK THAT WAYWHgN ioeT.

Never-the-less, as in the case of the latter, the temptation to put out an old thing under a new name is often too great for a mere human to resist. At any rate, it, is in our case. And like other insignificant things (e.g. chlorophyll toothpastes) col umns have to have names. This one is called Pulque for the fol lowing reasons. Pulque is a sub stance (liquid) which in small doses can be stimulating. In large quantities, especially to someone unfamiliar with its characteristics, it can be quite sickening. The metaphor seems obvious. Also, Pulque is rather unrefined. So am I. I shall try to do a couple of, things in nry writing. I shall' first of all survey the local, na tional, and international world and comment on it as I please. Just like everybody else. More specifically, however, I shall try to represent the graduate stu dent approach to things, espec ially as they affect the campus. All -graduate students are en couraged to write, or talk about matters which bother them, or matters which don't bother them. When something import ant is happening which is of concern to grad students, I shall try to bring it to their atten tion. However, I shall deal also with things , of interest (we hope) to all students. In that way perhaps a few undergrads, faculty, etc. will be trapped into giving us a look from time to time. I noted with interest Mr. Wil bur Boice's letter to the Editor in the Sunday Tar Heel in re gard to the going's on at the Presbyterian Church. While it is possible (though we will give you an argument on this point) to equate religion with Christ ianity, it does not seem justified A. Z. F. Football Carolina has had a lousy foot ball season the third in a row. And, oh, such misery! Freshmen are disillusioned; cheerleaders are crest-fallen because nobody will say "rah"; alumni are indignant and ashamed; and out-of-staters are afraid to go home lest they be subjected to humiliating re marks. "Get some ball-players!" 'Lower the admission standards!" And on and on and on . . . During the week the Carolina students bewail the fact that we are 69th in the Williamson Sys tem and arent even mentioned in the AP and UP polls; professors, trying to be popular with the stu dents, make jocular remarks about the high-school team that played at Kenan Stadium Satur day; and local newspapers specu late on what's to be done with the Gray Fox. Is this a university, a high school, or a football factory? You'd thing Carolina had failed in its primary goals to teach see things in proper perspective. But historians, he said, do. And he predicted that historians would give Harry Truman a great place in history. gr&tso sow HOW'P YOU 1.1 KB TO TAKE OFF YOUK COAT. TCP GUT' I C"?-0' COURSE.

That is, all Presbyterians are indeed Chris tians (in theory) but certainly not all Christians are Presby terians (in theory or fact). Sim ilarity, while it might be pos .sible to challenge Mr. Jones and the officers of his church on their Presbyterianism (though we will give you an argument on this point too) there are very few indeed who would chal lenge these f people on their Christianity. You stand alone, Mr. Boice, in the belief that this is a controversy between Chris tian and non-Christian. While on the subject of Christianity, I should like to mention that Saturday night, for the third time, I saw the "Star of Bethlehem" show at Planetar ium. It was still as impressive as ever. It is trite to comment that few people ever make use of the wonderful things present in their own back yards, yet it is certainly the case in regard to the Planetarium. There are few er Planetarium's in the world than there are Beer joints in Orange . county, yet students will drive several miles to the latter, and won't walk around the corner to get to the former. Everyone who possibly can should avail themselves of the opportunity to see this perform ance. Or, phrased in the student . language, if you don't go to see the "Star of Bethlehem" you've got rocks in your head. Following the vacation, I intend to go into the Saturday class situation, presenting both the Pros and the Cons of the situation, as they seem to me. (Believe it or not, there are some favorable things in the proposed shift). A quick solu tion, however, might be that which was overheard in the Y court last week. That is, arrange for Saturday classes simply by moving all of Monday's classes to Saturday!

Nobody much seems concerned with or proud of the fact that UNC is rated high as an institu tion of learning that eleven of its departments are rated in the top ten in the country. Nor does anybody seem concerned with the fact that Chapel Hill as one of the culture centers of the United States, and that first class pro fessors are attracted even for low salaries. And I don't remember anybody remarking on how pret ty the place is either. Personally, I'm sick of football. It's no longer a game. And I'm looking forword to Carolina's los ing a few more games until the "sport gets knocked down a cou ple of pegs, and the bookies go broke, the scalpers get stuck, and people play for the fun of it, just like ping-pong, hop-scotch, and mumbley-peg.
