The Russians begin early to teach their youth the basi f Communism. They are taught to read and write through the symbols of government. What do we do here, in our educational sys- ns, further the democratic theory? It is true t we are taught American history with bias -omote patriotism. Children are taught the virtues of the Fathers of the country; for exam- ‘e, George Washington never told a lie, accord- ire tc our brothers and sisters in the primary edes. Throughout high school we still salute le flag. When we get to college we are required, in North Carolina, to take a course in the basics of American Government. As adults, Americans know little or nothing about the actual documents that provide us with our freedom. Out of the members of one chapter of the DAR, who should know as much about the American Constitution as any citizens of the country, three out of over 100 had actually read that document. We are not advocating radical changes in the American educational system. Thomas Jef- ferson, however, said that a change in govern- mental policy should be made with every genera- tion to meet the needs of those whom it is to serve. There is a definite need for further edu- eation of our citizenry on the essential principles of our form of government. We cannot promote the growth of something of which we know noth- ing about. the ot e Editorial Comment by Faye B. O'Neal The new quarter begins and brings with it a preview of the SGA elec- tions which will be held March 17 and are probably the biggest event of the Spring session outside com- mencement. With election time com- ing around again, this year’s campus big wheels are getting ready to re- tire and assume the positions of ad- visors to the ’55-’56 who’s who. This retiring group deserves more than the standing round of applause they always get; they have been one f the hardest working student leg- islatures in the history of the college. Some of the things they will be re- membered for are the changes in the judiciary by-laws, a giant appropria- tion for new band uniforms and the presentation of CinemaScope for cam- pus movies. And from now until the middle of April it will be safe to bet that the group will keep on chugging new legislature moves in. .s from the campaign head- quarters: There is a need for can- didates for several offices. At press time the only nominee for president A is Emo Boado, the foot- reat from Wilmington. Since yer won't be printed again the elections are too far under- we won't run campaign adver- -ments for any officers. The paper sually stands neutral anyway. For issue, we can only say that we hope to see a red hot campaign. Deadline for filimg for candidacy, by the way, is March 10.

Let me, with due respect to your report- er, assur2 you that I was misquoted in this particular case. What I did y was that I would eat my hat if Dr. Pingel’s cla suc- ceeded in getting novel and issued in the form of a book for sale to the reading public. I think I also was pretty careful to stipulate that the book must be put out by a reputable publisher, in printed for- mat and not mimeographed. Most of my remarks were made during the course of conversation with Mr Emo Boado, one of the more promi- nent members of Dr. Pingel’s class. Mr. Boado will, I am sure, back up what I have just written, particu- larly since he plans to be among those present in my English 112a class during the Spring term. I would like to emphasize that I am proud to be a colleague of Dr. Pingel, and that I admire and ap- prove wholeheartedly of her work with the class that has just completed what I am sure is a good novel. The interest that her students have shown in her classes has always been an inspiration to the rest of us in the English Department, and we all hope that she keeps up the splendid work. Also, in spite of whatever digestive discomfort might be involved in the process, I do hope that I will have to eat my hat. Sincerely yours, Edgar W.

This interview was to have taken place at 4 p.m. and at 4:15 p.m., Johnny had still not arrived. Bobbie Lou, by this time, wags beginning to get an- gry. When called Johnny, she found that he had been asleep, and had forgotten all about the interview. When he finally arrived, he was very much embarrassed. A few weekends ago, Johnny vis- ited at Bobbie Lou’s house. In the confusion of packing, he forgot an all-important item—his necktie. It also seems that he turned a bottle of catsup over on the table. Johnny gave Bobbie Lou her dia- mond on February 18, while they were in her dining room. Although they have not set a definite wedding date, they plan to be married soon after Bobbie Lou finishes school in the spring of 1956.
