Book Of Poems
Is Published
By Vernon Ward
Vernor Ward of Roberson-
ville, a former ECTC student,
rec ntly sent a copy of a volume
f ; oems written by himself to
he president of the college with
i compliments.
Ward calls his volume
national Poems and de-
i � ibes the verses in his fore-
ord as "poems of freedom,
tin cracy, and friendliness
As they have a decided anti-
nationalistic emphasis, the
oems had difficulty in finding
publisher and were finally
published by the writer himself.
A number of people whose
names carry some weight have
commented favorably on tht
book, among them 11. V. Kal-
tenborn, Senator Claude Pep-
per. Paul Green, and the Indian
leader, krishnalal Shridharani.
Ward was interested in writ
ing when he was at the college
a few years ago, and even then
was working on the theme of
internationalism.

teams from twelve schools in
two Eastern districts of the
North Carolina high Debating
union entered an elimination
tournament which began on the
campus Thursday afternoon at
two o'clock and closed with a
final public debate Friday night
held at seven-thirty o'clock in
the Austin auditorium. The
tournament, directed by Dr. M
N. Posey, faculty advisor of the
Jarvis Forensic club, intended
to eliminate some of the teams
which would in normal years
participate in the contest at
Chapel Hill.
All of those teams in the two
Eastern districts which defeat-
ed their opponents in the trian-
gular debates competed in the
contests. The best affirmative
and negative team from each of
the two districts were awarded
certificates after the debates
last night, the name of the
teams were not available in
time for printing. These teams
will take part in the debate
finals to be held at Chapel Hill.
The teams of the second dis-
trict, which is the more western
of the two participating in the
contest, clashed in debate last
night.
Winning teams were selected
Thursday in two rounds of de-
bates, one in the afternoon and
the second in the evening. In
each round decisions were ren-
dered by judges from the fac
ulty and the college debating
team. Members of the debating
club and the class in debating
served as chairmen and time-
keepers.
Entering the tournament
were the following schools.
Pantego, Edenton, Leggett. Wil

President Speaks
On Responsibility
In Chapel
Using as his theme the ques-
tion "Am I my brother's keep-
er?' President Leon R. Mead-
ows spoke to the student in
assembly Tuesday morning,
March 24.
After reading the Biblical ac-
count oC Cain's murder of his
brother, Dr. Meadows said that
civilization itself has answered
Cain's question in the affirma-
tive ever since it was first ask-
ed. Every person must assume
the responsbility for his own
acts, he said.
A baby, he said, has no re-
sponsibility for itself; its
mother or nurse must meet its
needs in every way. But as a
child develops, it can not escape
gradually assuming responsibil-
ity for its own life.
Dr. Meadows then discussed
the necessity for recognizing the
responsbility that rests on every
individual in the audience he
was addressing, not only for his
acts, but for the reputation of
the college he attends, the com-
muniy he beldngs to, and the
world of which he will be a
part.
Qualifying Test
For Army, Navy
To Be Given Here
Qualifying tests for Army
and Navy College Training
Programs especially of interest
to high school seniors and re-
cent graduates likely to be
drafted within the next year,
will be held in the Austin build-
ing on Friday morning, April
2, beginning promptly at 9
o'clock.
The purpose of the examina-
tions is to aid in the selection of
prospective officer material for
the Army, Navy, Marine Corps
and Coast Guard.
From those who successfullv
complete the tests, candidates
will be selected to attend col-
leges under contract to the
Army and Navy. Students se-
lected for the Army Program
must undergo further screening
during thirteen weeks of basic
military training before they
are finally qualified for college
attendance. Students chosen for
the Navy Program after selec-
tion by the Officer of Naval Of-
ficer Procurement, will be de-
tailed directly to the selected
colleges for training, with all
expenses paid.
Such students will be under
military discipline on active
duty in uniform with pay, say
notices received from Army and
Navy headquarters.
The test will be administered
at the college by Dr. Herbert
ReBarker, dean of men, and Dr
Beecher Flanagan, of the de-
partment of sociology and eco-
nomics. Application blanks are
now available in Dr. ReBarker's
office in the Austin building.
Applicants should either obtain
and fill them out in advance,
says Dr. ReBarker, or plan to
come early on the day of the
tests, since the work must be-
gin at the hour set by the gov-
ernment.
As these are the only such
tests to be given for at least six
months, they offer many boys
not in the armed forces now,
but likely to be drafted soon,
their only opportunity to qual-
ify for college training and the
commissions this training usual-
ly leads to.

of the Red Cross goes on.
We hoar so much now a days about

are in Jap prison camps and Nazi concen-

Colleges Must Serve
by Associated Collegiate Press
Following is a digest of an address de-
lieved recently at Haverford college by Paul
V. McNutt, chairman of the war manpower
commission:
Until recently it would never have oc-
curred to college students to regard them-
selves in terms of manpower.
The term is more frequently associated
with the masses of workers employed by
large-scale industry than with the fortunate
minority of carefullv educated individuals
whom the colleges induct into professional
and managerial life So when you were regis-
tered for the national service you may have
experienced something of the surprise of
that character in Moliere's play who dis-
covered that he had been talking prose with-
out realizing his accomplishment.
Your government regards you as im-
portant, whether you are leaving college for
the military or for other forms of national
service, because of the exceptional training
opportunities which you have had.
It is very important that popular faith
in the value of our colleges, and in the qual-
ity of their students, should be sustained.
The larger educational institutions,
with facilities for housing, feeding and
teaching large numbers are naturally and
properly being called upon more largely
than others, although by no means exclusive-
ly, to accommodate the specialized training
units which the army and navy are setting
up.
A number of the smaller colleges, because
of special facilities or exceptional standards,
have been selected for pai-ticular forms of
service lying outside the general army and
navy plan. But what about those colleges
which are ouside the general army and navy
plan and are also overlooked in special
training plans? Is their place in the war ef-
fort to be confined to yielding their students
to the draft and restricting their services to
education of the handful who are under 18,
or physically unfit?
by Associated Collegiate Press
By H. C. Cranford
On Feb. 23, 1893, students at the Univers-
ity of North Carolina awoke to find Volume
1, Issue I of a new campus newspaper which
called itself the Tar Heel, Now, half a cen-
tury later, students at NCU can still climb
out of bed and find a new issue of the publi-
cation every day in the week except Monday.
Attached to the Tar Heel's record of 50
years of continuous service is a story of hard
work, ambition and youthful enterprise; a
story of hundreds of student j ournalists
who have contributed freelv of their time
and talents to "get the paper out on sche-
dule" regardless.
When the paper celebrated its golden
anniversary, there was no special super-edi-
tion, no banquet, no speech-making. Not
tven a birthday cake �all thanks to the war.
Instead the regular four-page sheet was
circulated as usual. Only a couple of "re-
search years" on the early days of the paper
by Coed Reporter Sara Yokley and remini-
scent and somewhat notalgie editorial ap-
peared to call attention to the event. Manag-
ing Editor Bob Hoke. in anticipation of a
gala anniversary, had undertaken weeks be-
fore to line up important speakers for the
event and to obtain extra paper allowances
for a special supplement. Both attempts fail-
ed because of "government priorities Hoke
talked the matter over with Editor Vernon
Harward. The two decided that rather than
stage a second-rate observance it would be
better to abandon the plan altogether. The
Tar Heel Vol. I, No. I was viewed by a skep-
tical and none-too-receptive campus on that
cold morning in 1893.
It was no less an authority than a Har-
vard professor of journalism who called the
Tar Heel in 1893 the . best, brightest,
newiest college weekly in the Union . . . "
And today editors of the paper still regard
this evaluation as a criterion that must be
preserved at any cost.
The late Charles Baskerville. who
taught chemistry at North Carolina for
many years, was the first editor of the Tar
Heel. He served for only two months, leav-
ing to study at the Universitv of Berlin, and
Walter (Pete) Murphy took over the reins.
Business manager of the paper in 1893 was
A. B. Andrews. Jr attorney and former
secretary of the university board of trustees.
J. Crawford Biggs, attorney and former
United States solicitor general, and Caswell
(Booter) Ellis, former president of Cleve-
land college were star reporters. Other
members of the original staff were W. P.
Wooten, brigadier general in the army, and
the late Perrin (Punkin' Head) Busbee,
former Raleigh attorney, who won the an-
nual eating contest in his senior year by
polishing off 24 bananas in 144 minutes.
Whether or not it was due to the fact
that all members of the staff were athletes
is open to debate, but the first issue of the
Tar Heel contained only sports stories.
In March of 1894 a group of about 200
Carolina students began a newspaper, the
Blue and White, in opposition to the Tor
Heel, which at that time was under the ab-
solute domination ot fraternity members
and the Athletic association. Chief objective
of the Blue and White was complete abolition
of campus fraternities. The staff of the sheet
j fought doggedly fro a. while, but in February
of 1895 gave up the fight and was absorbed
; by the Tar Heel. The Blue and White never-
I theless had a profound and beneficial effect
on the Tar Heel, which up until tha time
" had leaned to one side on many controversial
! issues. Since then the paper has attempted to
! presented an impartial view of any campus
J dispute.
Society coverage during the early days
; of the paper was all-inclusive. If a student
j left town for the weekend and the event
I escaped mention in the Tar Heel, the editor
was sternly reprimanded. Of little concern,
it seems, were doings of the professors.
When two faculty members received ap-
pointments as United States ambassadores,
the Tar Heel used the news as fillers and
without headlines. Tar Heel columnists
griped and groaned about the same as they
do today. They complained because the rail-
roads stopped giving free tickets to college
reporters, hinted of impending scandals
which seldom materialized, scraped up the
latest dirt about you-know-w ho, re-hashed
and claimed credit for small-time jokes
plucked from exchange columns, and drib-
bled and doodled in general.
Tar Heel staff men, alarmed at a sudden
decline in paid advertising, once front-paged
a story which scolded Chapel Hill merchants
for skinflint ad buying, as compared with
the generous practice of Durham concerns.
The next week advertising hit a new low.
Some of the stories in early issues have
a humorous ring today. One article, for in-
stance, tells of a decision of the librarian to
chain all seats to the floor to prevent the
students from drawing them up to the
stove.
News as a rule was not more than a
week or 10 clays old. Some stories, however,
were 20 days old before they appeared in
print. The first telegraphed football reports
were printed only 12 hours late in Novem-
ber, 1894. Cartoons began to appear the
same year.
Shootings, the files of the paper reveal,
were commonplace on the campus. Class
rivalry and football celebrations often
caused deaths and injuries.
Editorial campaigns were introduced at
an early date and often did more harm than
good, as is still the case. One "edit" in 1894
branded football as a northern game which
filtered south only six years previouslv and
would naturally "be changed for the better
by southern players
Many of the 62 editors the Tar Heel has
had hold important positions today through-
out the nation as jurists, legislators, journ-
alists, physicians, authors, brokers, and the
like. J. C. B. Ehringhaus, a former governor,
was editor in 1901-02. Seventeen editors
moved into the legal world, 14 entered edu-
cation. Only 13 (about 20 per cent) stuck to
journalism as a life profession. Dr. Frank
P. Graham, president of t h e Greater Uni-
versity and a member of the national war
labor board, tops the list of past editors still
connected with the university. He was editor
in 1908-09, and was succeeded by O. J. Cof-
fin, now head of the"department of journ-
alism. J. Maryon (Spike) Saunders, secre-
tary of the General Alumni association, took
charge in 1924. Another editor wro still
lives in Chapel Hill is Charles Phillips Rus-
sell, professor of journalism and creative
writing and an author of note. One of the
early editors was Dr. Natham W. Walker,
who was later to become dean of the uni-
versity department of education. Walter
Spearman, who was connected with the
journalism department until last year when
he entered the army, was editor in 1928-29,
when the Tar Heel became a daily. One of
most discussed authors of the decade, the
late Thomas Wolf, served on the paper in
1919-1920. Jonathan Daniels, editor of the
Raleigh News and Observer until he took a
war job in Washington, and Jake Wade,
sports editor of the Charlotte Observer, are
former editors. Others who broke into
journalism on the DTH include Ralph H.
Graves, head of the Doubleday. Doran syn-
dicate: Tom Linn of the New York Times;
Julian Starr of the New York Sun; J. T.
Madry, former editor of the Scotland Neck
Commonwealth. R. D. W. Connor. 1897 edi-
tor, was appointed by President Roosevelt
as first national archivist. He is now Craig
professor of jurisprudence and history in
the university. Warren T. Polk, editor in
1916, sold short stories for magazines, ser-
ved as mayor of Warrenton and is now asso-
ciate editor of the Greensboro Daily News.
Editor Daniel L. Grant became a New York
broker. Still another editor, Don McKee, is
a well known labor union official. Editor
Martin Harmon of 1939-40 is now an en-
sign in the navy on duty in Africa. Don Bis-
hop, who served as editor in 1940-41, is con-
nected with the army public relations de-
partment at Fort Bragg, while last year's
editor, Orville Campbell, is a yeoman in the
public relations division of the navy.
Today dozens of reporters cover the
campus daily on regular news beats. A staff
of 50, including a large number of co-eds
assist Hoke and Harward in the task of see-
ing that the paper "goes to bed" on time each
night. Many of the paper's best reporters
and news editors have left for army and
navy service, and Hoke has predicted that
co-eds may be forced to take over the paper
altogthor next year.
And so it is that the Tar Heel looks back-
on 50 years of service to the University of
North Carolina, and, at the same time, casts
r determined glance in the direction "of the
future. "The oldest college daily in the
Southeast says Managing Editor Hoke,
"will go on as usual, come hell or high

Red Cross Needs
Blood Donations
During the past two years thousands of
college men and women from all parts of the
country have made a contribution to the Red
Cross of which they may well be proud. This
contribution consisted of a voluntary dona-
tion of blood. Collected at the request of the
Army and Navy, these donations are pro-
cessed into plasma and serum albumin and
used on the world's battlefields to help give
our wounded a much better chance at life.
The Red Cross Blood Donor Service has
opened the eyes of many to the real signifi-
cance of the Red Cross. Through it thous-
ands who are unable, for a variety of rea-
sons, to join the fray are sending their blood
to the very battle lines where it is doing yeo-
man service.
There is no question but hat plasma is
working near miracles on the fighting
fronts. Great numbers of men who in the last
war would have died of their wounds are be-
ing saved because someone back home took
the time and trouble, and that's all it takes,
to visit one of the 31 Red Cross blood donor
centers. Army and Navy medical authorities
from the Surgeons General down are un-
stinted in their praise.
"It is astounding but perfectly true that
the Navy is losing less than one percent of
the wounded at Guadalcanal Rear Admiral
Ross T. Mclntire, Surgeon General of the
Navy recently reported. "In the first world
war more than seven percent of the wound-
ed died of their wounds. These figures ex-
clude men killed in action
The wounded, he said ,are flown to a
hospital on an island several hundred miles
away. Before being moved, often on the
battlefield, they receive first aid and fre-
quently blood plasma transfusions to stop
hemorrhage and reduce shock.
Surgeon General James C. Magee of the
Army, after a recent inspection trip to
North Africa, cited as an examole of the ef-
fectiveness of plasma transfursions a case in
which 400 men were badly burned on a ship
during one of the landings on that continent.
"They treated those men with primitive field
equipment General Magee said, "but be-
tween midnight and 8 o'clock next morning
everyone had been properly cared for and
only six of them died. Blood plasma gets the
credit to a very large degree
Plasma is that part of blood from which
the red and white cells have been removed.
By a process of evaporation it is reduced to
a powdered form and needs only to mixed
distilled water to be ready for use. Packed
in hermetically sealed tins along with a
bottle of distilled water and the necessary
tubing and needles for mixing and admini-
stering, it is impervious to iungle heat.
There is no question of delays for blood
typing, as plasma is universal, and it re-
quires but moments to mix and administer

Miss Campus Glamour finds cute tricks for

She still finds a drape shape for dirnd-

cloth, remanents of materials, or whacking
off the bottom half of an old evening skirt.
She conserves material but still keeps her
long, long jackets either bv making Mom's
old coats, Pop's old suit, or inheritng bro-

drab, or blue.
Cotton is her favorite for evening, be-
cause she feels she's a morale builder in full
twirling skirts in that material. It's much
easier to get than rayon or silk. What she
has she s guards with a glutunous eye. She
should (although studies or pleasure inter-

on both sides of the At-
corresponding responsibility
Responsibility is a trait that
all student publication staffs
try honestly to develop, but re-
sponsibility can develop only in
proportion to training. Many
college sheets are put out by the
students alone, with faculty su-
pervision at a minimum. Obvi
ous shortcomings on the part of
student writers are not justi-
fied, but the college is still his
training ground; he is learning,
if sometimes slowly, to do the
job right. Maturity is an inde-
finite period in .development
'out wherever it is, the under-
graduate journalist is working
toward it earnestly. And with
it comes responsibility.
Dr. Williams: "Indolence in
searching for facts results too
often in the campus paper's, be-
ing composed entirely from the
inner consciousness of the staff
after assembling in the compos-
ing room
This "inner consciousness" is
inexcusable in most instances,
but occasionally a lack of co- ;
operation from news sources;
themselves force student staff;
members to round out a news
story with suppositions and
guesses, much to the discomfort
and regret of all concerned.
Especially is this supposing
true when student readers de-
mand news on future events for
which news is either indefinite
or insufficient. Lack of person-
nel h the biggest cause of such
inefficiency in waitime. lt can
be safely said that little com-

The Change
A SHORT SHORT STORY
By Charles Craven
Three officers, a major, cap-
tain, and Lieutenant, were dis-
cussing death and philosophy
in an officers' club in Mel-
bourne. Death was always emi-
nent and could always be dis-
cussed apropos of the mention
of any phase of the war. In-
variably the thought of death
brought expressions of philoso-
phy and religion.
The young officers were
drinking Scotch. They always
liked to drink when they dis-
cussed death because when they
drank with their discussions
they could talk about death as
college boys talked about being
drafted.
"I am an agnostic I suppose
said the lieutenant who was ver
young; his shirt was open at the
neck and his neck was very clear
and youthful.
"Huxley said agnostic?" the
captain asked.
"Yes
"Huxley could as well used
ignoramus from the Latin re-
They laughed.
"You have other instincts be-
side eating reminded the cap-
tain. "There is one instinct
which is not moral
"Yes, but marriage is in-
stinctive said the lieutenant.
"That makes the other instinct
moral
"It isn't used much over here,
now
The captain refilled thei'
glasses from the bottle from the
table. v
"Hemingway said 'What is
moral is what you feel good af
ter, and what is immoral is
what you feel bad after " the
captain said.
"He makes you think
"What else did Hemingway
say?" asked the young lieu-
tenant.
"I don't know. He is a very
good novelist
"Genius
"Yes, genius
Everything was very warm
and comfortable to them. The
marked the Major, remember smoke was a dense veil around
ing something he had read and j the lights. The Scotch bottle be-
bourne was commanding an an-
ti-craft battery during an air
raid.
The gun was in the midst of
harbor installations, and the
bombing was very intense in
that sector. The Japanese air-
men were endeavoring to de
molish the harbor installations
They were pattern bombing and
the planes screamed down and
their roar against the great
blasts of the bombs was terror-
izing.
A piece of shaipnei seared
across the lieutenant's belly and
severed the visceral and the in-
testines dropped out in a blue,
wet blob. The lieutenant cupped
his hands under them and tried
to walk. He fell flat because his
trousers had fallen down around
his ankles. He laid there with
the guts mixing with the sand.
Two privates bent over him.
Afterwards one private asked
the other what the lieutenant
had said. "He said something
that sounded like T believe "
answered the other private.
Bertram Bateman, a graduate
of 1939. visited the campus
"e!during the past week. During
the past six weeks he has been
studying meteorology at Massa-
chuttes Institute of Technology
and after completing the course
he will be in line for officer's
training.

Lehigh university's Brown
and WThite recently engaged in
an editorial tilt with Lehigh
President Clement C. Williams.
Dr. Neil Carothers, dean of the
Lehigh business college, and
Phillip M. Palmer, dean of the
arts college, over criticisms of
collegiate newspapering attri
buted to them in the College
Publisher, monthy magazine of
Pi Delta Epsilon journalism so-
ciety.
Referring to the trio as
"friends of campus publishing
and backers of the values that
lie behnd it Brown and White
explained that they "have both
commendatory and condemna-
tory words for this student ac-
tivity. They speak for colleges
in general and college publica-
tions in general; so the Brown
and White attaches a universal
significance to their remarks.
But the Brown and White likes
to defend itself and its kind at
every opportunity
The publication then listed
what it called "representative
comments" of the three and pro-
ceeded to answer them, as fol-
lows :

Alumna visits campus�
Miss Blanche Lancaster, a
prominent alumna, visited on
the campus last Tuesday,
March 23.
She is now located in Raleigh
w ith the State Occupational
Analysis Section as an occupa-
tional analyst. Before taking
this position, on which she has
worked five and half years, she
was located in Asheville with
the same type of work.
Miss Lancaster taught Eng-
lish and French in Raleigh High
School for several years.
She is one of three sisters
who are graduates of this col-
lege. Miss Cora Lancaster, who
is now teaching in the elemen-
tary schools of Raleigh, and
Mrs. Martha Lancaster Foun-
tain, a primary teacher in Tar-
boro.
She was happy to attend

Katherine Jones Ashe. who
received the A. B. degree in
English and French from this

midshipman in the navy.
In a letter received recently
she says. "For the first four
weeks of training or indocrina-
tion, you are an apprentice Sea-
man, studying such subjects as
Naval Law. Naval History,
Customs and Usage, Ship and
Aircraft.
"First of all, you have to

its quota.
A nominating committee com-
posed of Miss Wita Bond, Miss

Commenting on the initiative
of educators throughout the
country who have sponsored
clothing drives for Russia's war
victims, Edward C. Carter,
president of Russian War Re
lief, Inc said that boards of ed-
ucation and school officials have
recognized the educative value
of student participation in war-
related activities, and are giv-
ing important community lead-
ership to war relief work.
Reports to Russian War Re-
lief national headquarters, Car-
ter pointed out, emphasize that
teachers are finding in clothing
collections a basis for special
studies on Russia.
On the receiving end, Carter
said, recent cables from the
Soviet Union to Russian War
Relief describe the enthusiastic
and greatful response of Rus
siaan children for the aid being
sent them by American young
people. One message, a lettei
written by five school children
from the village of Sokolniki,
in the Moscok region, tells of
the experiences which they went
through when the Nazis occu-
their village.

ism and liberal arts for the vic-
tory and peace to follow. This
is the new slogan of the Henry
W. Grady School of journalism,
University of Georgia, as it
modifies its curriculum to meet
the demands of war. In ex plan-
nation of this policy, the fol-
lowing statement appears in a
current bulletin going to staff
members of high school publica-
tions: "High school journalists
who want to get as much uni-
versity education as possible be-
fore entering the armed services
will be interested to know that
the school of journalism is try-
ing to meet their needs. Modifi-
cations have been made in the
degree requirements whereby
young men may pursue addition-
al courses in mathematics, phy-
sics, and related fields if they
so desire, along with their jour-
nalism and other liberal arts
courses. The Grady faculty be-
lives that it has a program which
should interest all staff mem-
bers, especially the 16-year-old
group (with a least a year or
two in college), the girls, and
those who for one reason or
another cannot enter the mili-
tary service. Now, as never be-
fore faculty advisers should
make a special effort to give
their staff members educational
direction. They should be en-
couraged to see beyond the dur
ation. Their educational prepa-
ration and life goals should be
in terms not only of the all-out
war effort but of the long years
that lie ahead. Some one has said
that the best possible vocational
guide is this: Choose that life
work which one would like to
continue to pursue, just for the
fun if it, even though he be-
came independently wealthly.
For many of us connected with
high school publications, that
would be journalism in some
one of its many forms� news-

dicates, advertising, magazines

RUSSELL SAGE COLLEGE
QUILL, TROY, N. Y A week-

established where authorative
information is given to the staff
with release dates. Present are
the president of the college
riea'n of women, registrar, voca-
tional guidance director, head
of public relations, heads of each
school in the college, editor of
the paper, and three reporters.
To date it has proved very ef-
fective and has served especial-
ly to make the paper a recogniz-
ed organ by the administration.
Other schools may already have
this recognition, but in our case
it was often difficult to ob-
tain important stories for fu-
ture release before the press
conference was initiated.
