DTH should be, and km mwwd iirJ Our only suggestion is that various nearby hospitals always seem to have an appreciative fold of nurses. And the young things pining away in adjacent female academies show a daring curiosity for Carolina gentlemen. It would be useless here to suggest letting the coed population of UNC cool en masse. That is, every man evacuate the Hill on week-ends.

Some guy would sneak back into town. Helpless against irresistible charm. He would be that one found by the farmer's daughter. That one man would give them victory. Here's a hopeless note to end on.

This Alphonse summed it up I I shod over the hungry male population until she finds what she wants." The worthy who uttered that had just come out of a phone booth where he'd called every floor of every woman's dorm on the campus. After he'd gone through the names he knew, he started calling strangers. No avail! The guy went to a movie and cheered when the babe got a face full of wine 'and a coldly turned heel. The situation is the weather. It can't be changed.

As long as the male population is in the ter number the condition will remain. But the men shouldn't fret. It's only for four years. Then a man can get himself a nice little college educated girl vho has come down to earth. However, he must be certain that her diploma didn't turn her into a Grenadine Etching or an Amber.

What a fiery chase that I always turns out to be! Mudville Mutterings letters submitted to the Write Away column must be doubic-spaceU typewritten, and shall not exceed SOO words.

Letters which contain obscene or libelous statements or letters which do not comply with these stipulations will not be published. What is love? Thousands of songs are written about it; numberless books are published each year on this popular subject; millions of young people spend years searching for this high adventure labelled love; old people spend hours recounting the pleasurous sensations produced by an intangible something called love. It is a subject in which the majority of the population of the world delights.

Having found tangible evidence of the results and works of love, people are constantly in search of a tangible definition. Yet no one person has evolved a definition with which even a small majority agrees. Love is that emotion which everyone feels and has experienced in his own life, but he is unable to express verbally the exact sensation which is the result of an undefinable emotion. Love is recognizable and has been divided and subdivided into various pidgeon-holes as friendship, companionship, family love, love for God, love of art, etc. Old sayings" suc-n as "the whole world loves a lover" or "in spring a young man's fancy lightly turns this mystery of love.

Name Withheld by Request Wrong Policy Gentlemen: During this quarter I have be come more and more dissatisfied with the present policies of the DTH. The strong partisanship of the paper concerning the recent magazine referendum, culminating in the statement on today's editorial page, "The Daily Tar Heel favors this fifth alternative," has antagonized me to the-point of finally stating my opinion. Look. thus be enhanced the ever-increasing Athenian beauty of our coeducational 'Greek cynis-ter cynicism Sergei! MOUNTAIN AIDS SCIENCE MOUNT WASHINGTON, N. II.

All this lest the contempt of campus womanhood be poured upon him for being a callow cad. As to our fitting the qualifications required to undertake this study, all we can say is that the project will be given our most sincere eiiui i wmi li'jyis uiai it will be fully objective. First, a question: Why do the fellows burst forth with almost ecstatic yelps of approval and encouragement when the male lead in the movie dashes a glass of champagne in the lovely face of the wench, or drives his fist into her tender jaw, laying her flat on the deck for no purpose but to leave her there? These boisterous outbursts of applause manifesting great satisfaction at the assault and battery of womanhood must 'stem from case histories of maltreatment by alluring but deadly feminine hands. (Allow us a little more than just a slight digression here to point out that this discussion is not directed at those fortunate young men of money and high social calibre who have- been so eloquently described in Write Away as being "slick with the women.

Ha, Ha!" Rather it is for that mass of unconquerable rogues who usually inhabit such places as ordinary dorms and the quonset area and are without hope or anything. God bless'em the peepul.) Now where were we? Oh yes rough treatment by soft hands. One could believe that the haughtiness of Carolina coeds is merely the impersonal attitude of a superior breed. We admit to one thing. They are lovely at least the one who can afford the haughty class.

Once in a while you'll find one whose personality has not become dulled by affectation caused by beauty consciousness. rare young animals with damp parted lips and warm, vibrant Cuii'vours are as lovely to look at as a Grand Canyon sunset and a lot more promising. But men swarm around her and she finally concludes, "I am gorgeous. Men are my pawns. They will go to any lengths to get a breath of my sunlit hair." The smug and complacent feeling felt generally by the coeds come through no fault of their own, boys.

They are engulfed in a blinding whirl of excitement a week after they arrive in Chapel Hill and walk around in a haze of male adoration that lasts until they are once more tossed back into the melting pot. On the main drag the other day a guy said, "Ah! The old man gets war rich on three or four tobacco crops, buys daughter a fur coat and sends her to Carolina. Tells her to get a husband, or it'll be back to the farm. Daughter proceds to run rough- when it carne to killing the OP A. Gossett was trying to pledge the Texas delegation in advance to the Southern stand against Civil Rights, when Rayburn suddenly discovered what he was up to.

Quickly calling Texas Congressmen to his By Dan Sapp More traffic difficulties in the Village these days. On Jackson Circle the problem is one way traffic which they don't have. Circle residents have been complaining about this ever since last fall, but nothing has been done yet. If you've ever driven around the Circle and met another car face on and no room to pass you have seen the necessity. It doesn't appear that it would be too costly to put up one way traffic signs at either end of the street.

The village council has been working on this for several months and according to one of the new representatives it is still being considered. The council doesn't have the final say on action of this kind. It can only recommend and request something which it has been doing through committees for some time. It seems rather short-sighted to wait until a serious accident happens to put up a couple of simple signs that would remove the danger. ADA Talks FPG for VP office, Rayburn reminded them that it was longstanding practice for the delegation never to commit itself as a group.

If any individuals wished to sign the resolution against Civil Rights, they should do it on ther own, he argued. Wright Patman, Paul Kilday, and J. M. Combs sided with Rayburn, and urged the Congressmen to have more consideration of their leader. Combs warned that the question is an explosive one, involving human rights, and made an appeal for tolerance.

Non-partisanship should not be limiterj, to polities, but should encircle all issues on which the student body forms an opinion. The DTH should present issues not opinions or decisions. I am sure that there are othe' students who feel as I do.

There must be other students who havn regarded with growing irritation the tendency of the DTH to "take sides," students who feel that th" DTH is no longer the voice of the students, but rather the voice of few.

Alphonse Karr.

The coop meeting of last week isn't exactly news at this point but one point that was brought up is the need for help in the store. If you have any spare time go down and give them a hand, you don't have to have 10 years experience and you'll be helping yourself in the long run. Another item we've heard batted around lately is a community center for the Village. Since we're all fairly young and fun-loving, a lot of folks think we need a place to get together and become acquainted, have dances, parties, etc. There isn't any place nearer than the campus for a function of this kind and it i zrit always convenient for people who don't have cars and do have children to go on campus in the evenings.

Several outdoor picnics last summer proved that these get-togethers are a lot of fun, but why wait until summer? Because we don't have a community center?

Finally they settled upon a comparatively mild one, submitted by J. Bayard Clark of North Carolina. This was circulated among the delegations for signatures, paving the way for the final meeting. At this meeting the voice of Mississippi's rootin' tootin' John Rankin, as usual, was the loudest. He took off with a deafening roar, well seasoned with fire-and-brimstone.

"Next thing you know," Rankin bellows, "Congress will be flooded with Niggers." CROSSWORD PUZZLE At first, Rankin opposed group action, repeatedly calling attention to his long personal fight for Southern principles. When he saw that a group resolution would be adopted in spite of him, he raised a howl for stronger language. "Frankly, I think it isn't strong enough," he barked after Gossett read Clark's resolution which by then had been adopted by the steering committee.

White at first seemed to think that wartime censorship still prevailed. General White was queried by long-distance telephone about the court-martial of Lieut. Vernon Brooks, Lubbock, Texas, who was acquitted. of bcin drunk and wrongfully striking an enlisted man. "You can't publish that," remonstrated General White.

"Sorry, but we intend to publish it." "By whose authority?" challenged the General. "By the authority of the Constitution of the United States, General, which says that the American people have a right to know about courts-martial and the treatment of enlisted men." General White then said he would look into the matter and see what could be made public.
