The Big Seven; Duke, N. C. State, Wake Forest, Mary land, Clemson, South Carolina and North Carolina have at last made the move that will mean the end to a troublesome, bur densome seventeen-member ath letic conference. The move has been anticipated for years talk ed of in smokefilled rooms be hind closed doors for years but it took only a little speed at an open session of all concerned to put the finishing touches on the movement and the split was ach ieved. As far as the record book is concerned the split was here lon ago. The seceding schools have consistantly carried off honors in the major sports as football, baseball, and basketball; they have usually come out on the long end of the minor sports score in track, golf and tennis. It seems as though the seceding seven have taken with them all the conference championships, while leaving behind to the re maining ten schools the sum of $156,000 to set up shop with. While the seven schools go to make up one of the toughest athletic conferences in the na tion to win a championship in, and while they have the neces sary leadership available to make them the most progressive conference in the country we suggest that they take into con sideration the following ideas which can make them the un disputed champs of the nation: . 1. Include four more big schools in the new conference that are willing and capable of playing ball on the same level (With this painting by Lewis Ennis, The Daily Tar Heel inaugurates a weekly feature on its editorial page. Ed.) Ennis, a senior art student from Durham, des cribes his work: It is my aim to organize space and form in na ture. This is true, perhaps, because I know I "can not" copy 'that' nature."

However, this is only one half of the program Inspector P. L. Burch announced in January. After condemning 35 Greek abodes, the inspector said the inspection would be ex tended to town lodging houses and they would be required to make any necessary alterations. So far, the town fire check has not materialized. Mr. Burch has said "We'll have to get our foot loose from the fraternity-sorority hous es" before we can take anything else." He added that "We would have to determine as the Big seven.

I feel that if the artist is to seek truth he cannot allow himself to become "restricted" by the nature in which he must live. I realize this. I am aware of the existence of things that cannot be added to or made better. Therefore, I strive to organize space and form. I believe that a work of art may be an expression of my own inner feelings or vision, and that it may be a thing useful, to society, but I also believe that beyond both of these it is a "thing-in-itself." Re gardless of whether it is an emotion, an impulse, an ideal or a funny story regardless of whether it is intellectual, spontaneous, or psychological it must have a unifying organization which is di vorced from the mere copying of another's crea tion. It must be truth or it cannot exist. . Spirits With a new Coed Visiting Agreement in their brief cases, the Administration meets Tuesday to consider the student recommen dations about visiting and drinking in fra ternity houses. The Washington Merry-Go-Round Drew Pearson Tarnation Dorman Cordell Tarnation has managed to come out again, and although it is nothing to have hysterics over, it is the best of the year. It seems that each issue has been better than the last .' Jerry McMahon's Slob is on the cover again, and McMahon also has several cartoons inside which are pretty good. In fact, his cartoons have been the one bright spot in some of the previous issues. Professional cartoonist Bill Harrison contributed two on the subject of graduation, and the profes sional touch is evident immediately. The two-page spread by Stan Smith is fair to middling, and may provoke a yuk among Y-Court dwellers. On the writing side, Barry Farber's "Into The Fire" is good for two or three columns, but then becomes a little tedious. However, it is, on the whole, probably the best in the current issue. "Men of Destiny" by Kit Crittenden and Steve Chaseman is short but sweet. Daily Tar Heeler Louis Kraar relieved some of the nation's surplus of corn by using barrels of it in "Georgi Peorgi," which is amusing , if you like the "1000 Jokes" or "Charley Jones Laugh Book" sort of thing. The jokes in the new Tarnation seem to be fairly new (at least to this reviewer) for the most part, although some from Grandpa's heyday insist on popping up occasionally. As college humor magazines go, Tarnation does as well as most, what there is of it. cerned. It is felt that it is not the job of the university presidents to formulate policy and ramrod it down the throat of the confer ence, but rather each school's athletic council shall "determine policy with the help of their president, and pass it-on to the conference through their direc tor of athletics. 5. It is finally urged that the new conference bring the ques tion of subsidizing athletes out in the open. Make subsidizing a legal affair with certain agreed upon limitations. Let us start our new conference right ... by pull ing no punches to begin with, even though we may not end up that way. WASHINGTON Secretary of the Treasury Humphrey won't know it when he presents his ideas to the House Ways and Means Committee today, but the tax cards are completely stacked against him. Chairman Dan Reed's feathers are ruffled over the whole Jtax situation and he just isn't going to cooperate. So no matter what Humphrey proposes in the way of new taxes, he just isn't going to get much from his fellow republicans. In fact, he'll probably get more co operation from the democrats. What Humphrey has been working on in the way of a tax program is this: A. Continuation of the excess-profits tax. B. No cutting of income tax es this year. C. As a sop to business, Humphrey is considering more generous depreciation rates, thereby permitting a quicker write-off of capital investments. But regarding the future, Humphrey believes congress can- not cut taxes substantially with out jeopardizing national de fense. What the Secretary of the Treasury doesn't know, however, is that Republicans on the Ways and Means Committee, who are supposed to support him, have entered into a secret deal to let the excess-profits tax die on the vine June 30 no matter what he recommends. Furthermore, Uncle Dan Reed got quite nettled the other day when Humphrey made the un derstandable mistake of confer ring with Sen. Gene Millikin of Colorado about taxes before he consulted Reed. Doesn't he know, fumed Uncle Dan at a closed-door meeting, that tax legislation originates in the Ways and Means Committee, not in the Senate? Of course, Humphrey is only a plain, hard-working Cleveland businessman, though a most suc cessful one. And he probably didn't realize the niceties of con gressional protocol, and whom he should talk to first. However, the result of all this is that there's almost certain to be no tax legislation passed at this session of Congress. Taxes will be caught in a deadlock. The House, following the advice of Uncle Dan Reed, will do nothing. The Senate, led by Chairman Mil likin of the Finance Committee, will accept the advice of Secre tary Humphrey. But out of the fmpasse between the two, no new tax bill is likely to be written. This means the excess-profits tax will automatically expire June 30 and personal income taxes automatically will be re duce 10 per cent at the end of the year. Chinese are tired U.S. Intelli gence experts are now convinced that the Chinese Communists want to end the Korean War. For example, not a single anti American sign showed up in the Peiping May day parade. In con trast, even before Korea, every May day parade featured anti American signs .

Hipporotis: circa 5G0 B.C.) ., THE HORSE was filching some laundry-bags from the University Laundry and was not at all dis turbed when I suggested he might get caught. "It will be worse if I get caught without the bags," he chittered. "I'm staying for the Summer quarters." I didn't get the connection? What did laundry bags have to do with education? "Education?" he sneered elegantly. He gathered his loot and started away, past the Port Hole, past Hill, and on toward the library. "You are definite ly old hat, my boy. It is no longer fashionable to 'Educate.' To-day, we INducate; or perhaps ADdu cate, if you are an optimist and believe much of it even stays stuck to you." Would he be less obscure? "Okay," The Horse said, sprawling out in the shade of the Y-Court. "Attend me, Roger. 'E-duco' is Latin for 'I bring out,' or something equivalent, right? Well, in the old days the schools did bring out whatever was in the student, and just that. You think they try to bring out whatever is in the student in the way of talent, now?" Didn't The Horse believe so? "Alas and welladay!" The Horse sighed. "How juvenile you are! To-day, we are not concerned with what a student can give us. Barring the price of tuition, that is. To-day, our concern is in giving him things. A bit of this subject; a dash of that; a splattering of some other. You stand in line like Oliver Twist begging at the board of Education; you hold the little bag open; we dump you in some alleged knowledge; you get going. And no repeats!" Was it possible The Horse was a radical, a mal content? "A realist," The Horse corrected. "The only fun in being a horse is you got horse-sense. The im portant thing to-day is, what you do not know. You meet with some other collitch folk socially, say, five years from now, and you worry that the guy you are talking with may know more than you do. So you ask, after a bit, where he went to collitch, and what degree?" " 'Yale, A. B., majored in History,' " he answers. Right away you feel relaxed. He doesn't know any more than you do, and he paid more money not to know it. But if the guy says, 'Boston Tech, and I'm a Chemical Engineer,' get moving! They got to know something to get that! But if he should say, T got a B. S. degree at East Cupcake Abnormal,' start patronizing him, because they don't have to have such big bags for a B. S. as for a B. A. If he is an M. D. or an LL. B. or D., stare him down, because he will want your business." I thought The Horse was a cynic? "I'm a stoic," he growled, pushing to his hooves and collecting his bags for summer school. "How else could I stand ycu?" I think The Horse hears imperfectly, also . . . The Aardvarlc A.Z.F. Wood Jr. (Browsing in the Intimate Book Shop the other day I came upon Will Cuppy's "How to Attract the Wombat," in which were sketches of various ani mals, common and uncommon, including, much to my consternation, the earthworm and the opossum. So I am now duly apologetic for trying to out-Cup-py Cuppy. But there are a few animals which he has not sketched and one of them is the aardvark Thus:) The aardvark is a member of the family mammalia and the order Tubulidentata which means he's got teeth but they're not very good. He hasn't got any in the front of his mouth and the twenty-six he has got have neither enamel or roots.l The aardvark is a stout, hump-backed, scraggly haired, rabbit-eared fellow between five and six feet long, one-fourth of which is tail. He eats ants He is eqmpped with very strong claws with which he tears an ant-hill all to hell and a flypaper tongue with which to lap them up. His diet is apparently exclusxvely ants and he seems to have little trouble finding plenty of them.2 Aardvarks are to be found mostly in South Afri ca, though if you went down there to see one you would probably be very disappointed. They are very shy and if they hear you coming they'll burrow straight down into the ground and be gone before you can say, "You're a Communist."3 wh-"2Utth Cal1 the aardv the earth-hog and that just shows how unimaginative the Dutch are Just because the aardvark burrows around in the earth and has a snout like a hog, is that any reason to call him an earth-hog?4 ' Because of the fact that the ardvark has teeth no matter how lousy .they are, he hS never ln accepted into the j Grand Order of the EdentaU Inl 6X?Ute ClUb fr toothlesfrteat- &JSl"frdv,uP Went out funded his own order (Tubulidentata), but apparently his feelSTs whprp he has become nearly extinct ever?! where except in South Africa 5 So far as the sex life of the aardvark is concern- i-!!? 537 13 th3t he's got one- They have one or two little aardvarks by the usual mammal pro! cess and are nursed in the usual mammal way.
