If we should have another flu epidemic here in a year does that mean that there was no use in fighting this one? It is better to fight these epidemics than to have flu raging all the time. What would the TAR Frc- think of our doctors if they were afraid to go into flu-infested rooms and fight this disease to the finish? Just as we must continually fight germs until-they are eradicated so must we continually fight wars for what we believe to be right until on some sunny day we find that we have eradicated the causes of war.

In neither case should we say as the Tar Heel says "the last fight was useless, why fight this one?" We fought the last war so that we wOuld not have to cow-tow to the Kaiser. Hitler wants to conquer the world something the Kaiser never dreamed of. Let us try to picture the state the world would be in if the Germans had won the last war. And let us remember that Europe has had 22 more years of governmental freedom and we have had the same in economic freedom than if Germany had won. Yours truly, Fred Lewis.

Appalling 'Revelation To the Editor, Dear Sir: I heartily agree with Louis Harris, in his column in the Daily Tar Heel of Friday, January 24, that it is appalling when 1,191 students vote that labor should be denied the right to strike in this period of national defense. However, I think it might be well to consider why. An issue as involved as the labor problem cannot be answered with a simple "yes" or "no." Mr. Harris mentioned that "many companies have balked and bickered with the government over defense contracts." Had a question regarding this matter been included in the poll, I feel certain that the students would have reacted just as strongly against the companies as against the labor unions. Both the problems of the labor unions and of the companies have been publicized, but the publicity has been more unfavorable, to labor than to capital.

We are opposed to dissension within the ranks and so we would deny labor the right to strike. America has embarked on a defense program; and anyone will agree that any project of the magnitude of this the undivided cooperation of everyone. If we believe, this how could we react favorably to labor's much-publicized strikes? Few people favor dissension, and wrhen we are asked if labor irtlidays (Students tckose narns appear low may obtain a pass to the vul by calling at the box office of the olina theater.)

The speech has been scheduled for 7:30 so that students attending it may be out in time for the Inter-dorm dances which begin at 9 o'clock.

should be allowed to strike we say "no." But we would say "no" just as loudly if we were asked if companies should be allowed to bicker with the government. With our eyes clouded with the dramatic defense program we fail to realize that what we have struggled so hard and so long to achieve, we are throwing aside without thinking. Undoubtedly we have jumped the track of democracy, but keeping the train running is so exciting and requires so much attention that we can't be bothered to get back on. Sincerely yours, Larry Wismer.

Harris work. Universally, students hoped that other faculty members would take the lead of these liberal professors, and time would be given for gradual recovery and. working into shape. Still, as week number four rolled in on the North Carolina winter session, it looked as though an overworked student body overworked by a mite of a bug that saps arms and backs had to buckle down to a task to be envied by college students or other folks. Amusing details of a week of recovery: The two fellows in Graham splashing about in a sink early Sunday morning who claimed that they had cornered the flu bug and were trying to drown him.

The fellow with the belated Florida sun-tan, to whom Chapel Hill folk, courteously nod and say, "Hola, Senor. Enjoying your stay?" The well-dressed Peruvian playboy who is in love with two coeds who are almost perpetual companions. At the reception, he said to the first, "I love you, I love five minutes later, he said to the second, "I love you, I love you!" Still five minutes later, the two coeds got in a huddle and swapped tales that their dapper novio (beau to yo', bo') told them. The poor guy is in a state of perpetual consternation, because he can't keep them apart. He' claims that in Peru he has four sweethearts, but they all live in separate parts of the city, so he has no difficulties in his home-town courtship.

Editor is it likely "that they are disinterested in what the United States has? And is it not better to fight with an ally than alone? Hitler has stated that he "is not interested in U. S. territory." As President Roosevelt said, "That brings back memories." It doesn't make sense to say that Hitler doesn't want the U. S. He wants to establish a New World Order.

The U. S. unfortunately is still in the same world as Hitler. Unless Britain wins we shall have to fight him. It therefore seems obvious that if Britain is to lose, it is better to fight with her before she loses than afterwards when Germany has gained incalculable power and there is no one to help us.

We are informed by the editorial that we must give up all democratic ways of life to fight a war. We maintained our democracy throughout the last war and Britain is maintaining hers now. It would seem that the Tar Heel desires democracy but does not think it important enough to fight for. Besides, is it so contradictory to give up democracy temporarily to save democracy Are not those in the infirmary now giving up the pleasures of health to enjoy their "regained health later on? It would be rather foolish for a ceived that tribute. Tears came in his eyes as he tried to express his thanks.

He didn't" know what to say, but the students there knew how he felt. It was written all over his face. Coach Wolf knows his football. He is recognized throughout the coaching profession as one of the outstanding teachers in the game today. Yet his success is not attributed to his won and lost record.

That is minor compared to his ability to instill character in the men that play football for him. Since Wolf has been at Carolina we have heard Duke players, on numerous occasions, say that the Duke-Carolina game is the cleanest played in the state. This game is also the hardest fought, and to say it is the cleanest is an added tribute to Coach Wolf. Students and alumni of the University of North Carolina needn't worry about the future of their athletics with men like Ray Wolf at the helm. He is a credit to the University of North Carolina and Southern conference football.

O. C. Bj Louis Campos Scene "Weary- classmates, hacking and coughing spasmodically, joined our classes again yesterday. After a two-week lapse, lecture halls were filling up, and it seemed good to see a student body that had at last begun to lick the I flu bog. Yet, the same old zip and energy was missing.

The usual punch that puts a class across just wasnt there. The source of all the creaking joints and weary faces wasn't so much the dances or the social whirl of the weekend, but it was more the fact the one we wouldn't all admit we hadn't won our struggle yet. Like a forest-fighter who had put out the blaze, but who hadnt blotted out all the smoking embers, so the students were still shaky as the new week came in. Clouding up the picture of sunshiny recovery for students this week and the next was the maze of examinations that flood out about this time every quarter. Busily, freshmen and seniors alike have been scurrying about, catching up on two weeks reading in one, and copying, notes' from class lectures that can't be made up.

On the face of it, it looks like a task is in store for all students. Reports pour in that many profs are being considerate and are treading softly on hard quizzes and back Letters To The Favors War To the Editor, Dear Sir: The Tar Heel has no right to express dogmatisms such as "war solves nothing." Wars both solve and settle "things." We had a civil war in this country that solved quite a good deal. Unfortunately we brought a war upon Mexico which also solved a few questions we gained a considerable amount of territory from that war. It seems very odd that the Tar Heel should say that "men paint war as glorious and beautiful," when we have competent foreign correspondents describing the horrors of war. We have pictures of devastated cities; of endless lines of down-trodden, weeping refugees; of once beautiful land now splintered by bombs and dotted with wooden crosses.

Could anyone be duped into believing wars are "glorious and beautiful" after this? Of course this is a war of the British to "save their wealth, their position," etc. (and the Tar Heel might have added "their democratic and autonomous and of the "Germans to get what the British have." If the Germans are so interested in what the British have Football and Character Formal passage on the renewal of Coach Ray Wolf's football contract for five more years should meet with wide approval throughout the student body and the state. Coach Wolf came to Carolina in 1937, and since then has made a fine record both on and 'off the football field. His ability to please the student body has made him an invaluable asset to the athletic setup here. Never will Coach Wolf nor the student body forget the fine spirit shown just before the Duke game last fall.

It was a matter of not too good a football season. The team had lost four games, and there was every indication that the Duke game would result in another loss. These conditions existed, but the student body forgot the record and thought of Coach Wolf. They gave him a portable radio to show their faith. Never will that student body forget the way Coach Wolf re Managing Editor Business Manager Circulation Manager Issue: Sports: LEONARD LOBRED make outright, gifts with no lend-lease strings.

As believers in American peace, we should oppose H.R. 1776 immediately, and vigorously. We should oppose the bill not only in conversation, but should postcards and letters to Congressmen. Quick-action of disapproval of the bill is the single chance to see it killed. S.

R. March of Dimes This week Americans all over the nation are digging in deep so that a lot of little boys and girls will be able to walk one day. Streaming in from the wealthy and the poor alike are dimes in the annual "March of Dimes" that President Roosevelt sponsors to aid the Infantile Paralysis fund. Those of us who have had the flu, and those who know what it is to be laid low by illness, can readily realize the need of infantile paralysis victims. No morbid description of crutches and wheelchairs is necessary to make the American public conscious of the plight of the thousands of stricken boys and girls.

The response that the American people college students and their fathers and mothers, alike are making this year is indeed a tribute to the humane and sympathetic that we thank God is still with us. In a world of strife, where cold steel is penetrating all of our backyards, such movements as the "March of Dimes" makes us stop and poke ourselves to realize that we are, after all, not robots in a dread march, but just plain people who live and love. We should all contribute a dime to the great cause of aiding infantile paralysis victims. Just stop at the counter of the Book Ex one morning at 10 :30, forego a coke and hot dog, and contribute a dime to this worthy cause. When you walk away from the counter, think not only of how lucky you are to walk to classes, but also of the boy or girl you are helping who might be able to walk to a class in the (9 i s.

JF For This News: BOB HOKE The Lend-lease Threat The lend-lease bill, if passed, is bound to materialize a lot of situations we want to prevent. Such realities as ship-convoying seem to sum up to near entry in the war. Yet to give the president "the right to "lend or lease" our armaments, some people argue, will be a good thing for America. Here are some reasons why we see the other side: The passage of H.R. 1776 would make Mr.

Roosevelt sole executive of "the arsenal of democracy." We would have granted him his authority, yes but we would be giving up a tremendous part of our own responsibility. The president would be allowed, without referring to the American people, to do with our ar-. maments what he wished. Even if the authority were limited to two years, as proposed, two years would be time enough for the lend-lease measure to scuttle our security. British ships would be repaired in American sea-ports.

Warships for Great Britain would be built in this country. Any damage done these ships by sabotage would be fanning an already visible war-hysteria. Our ships would serve as convoys through war-zones. If we can judge from our experience in the last war, or act on the strength of probability, we would have to expect American ships to be, sunk in short order. Then would follow demands for apologies "of damage suffered by the ships and our national honor." Great Britain should be aided but this aid should not betray American peace and security.

The lend-lease bill we believe to be a threat to America's defense and well-being. The lend-lease bill, in the implications of what would follow its passage, we believe to be a virtual declaration of war.
