We're sure of that. There's one question: are they going to be ready in time for summer semester, or are they going to be ready for post-war play? If we're going to have them, let's put a fire under the mule, or we'll all have forgotten how to play. And now, one minor complaint. Grateful as we are, there's no use waiting for something as long as we're waiting and, not have it as nearly perfect as possible. At least convenient. But in constructing the courts, the workers have built a fie large. tall fence all around them. There's one door in this fence. Where of all plaees should it not he put? Just where they hia-e pitt it. At the fartherest. -orner, of the fartherest side away from tlie campus. To get in the University courts, therefore, University students must go the longest way round, and the longest way home. How about another door? And how about some speed in completing the whole business? Just Why Library Elevators Aren't For Student Use One University student, belligerently indig nant, has requested lie Camieeock to write a Iiiid editorial blessing out smineoily because the elevators in the new library are nlot, opent for the use of studetits. Sez he: "Do they think we haven't got the sense to run 'em? If the faculty can use them wUy %"L L. Ww: Mildly agitated, the (lamievok. went 1 lo see Mr. Lewis Brans-omh to fiml out why before getting stewed up. Seeis the-e are several reasons. In the first place. the elevators were built for earr-ying the heavy tonies that are too awkward for the lihrarians. Th'ley are not i)e Use of anybody unless he or she is physi-ally un When lazy faculty are seen making use of these machines, then let the student sympathize with the senility of the old gentlemen. And let he who fusses, attempt to carry up some of the books. There is only one elevator. Not enlough for all. There's no way of choosing ... to say "you shall use the elevator, you shan't". But, regardless of the reasons why-if there's nothing more drastic to gripe about, let's shut u1p. What Have We Got As The Year Ends? Inisteadl of the usual niost algic editorial in wich the staff1 wr-aps uip in blue r-ihhonis its mlemories. we'd like to do some summing up. N'ot about the Ganmecok. buIt about the Univ-er sit y. Anybody who has followed these columns at all must have realized that our chief gripe is the lack of war awareness among the students, and faculty. Our chief crowing has been about the pride we feel about the efforts of the adminis tration to do its part, as a college, towards the war effort. What's been accomplished, and what hasn't? On thle par-t of the studenetts, t he wvhole year is ending uip with a had taste in its mouithI. as the Univer-sity stud(etts opetuly fight with thle pre fl ight boys. This situia 'to is discussed in another editor-ial, so it suffices hier-e to sav- only that regar-diess of how much at fautlt the pru flight boys miayu have heenm. it is tund(eniale that the Unmmi vers it.y b'oys who pariti Iipat show thIiat it is more import an to I' themt that t hey not he called dira ft-dodger-s, t ham it iis mre l iotanmt that they show w-ho is stilth Iie dom i inanti fa itor on this campus. than it is that lily help the boys training fori servier ha ye a ii ih- p)e5leaateri time, during their- stiff ti-aainting period. There is still no move on this campus, as there have been on other campuses, to start a scholar ship through the purchase of war bonds, the money to be used in the post-war days to help returning soldiers to finish their education. There is still no extra-curricula group, dis cussing regularly, intelligently, the issues of the war, and the questions we must answer at its termination. There are still dances costing $5 a throw, with none of it to go to wvar helping aids. There are still discussions at liter'ary so-iet y meetings on insane subjects. There are still gir-ls who think nothlinig of usinig thle telephone for- uin Important lonig-dlistance calls. and( the trains and buses foi- ti-ips home, althoughi they have been toldl repteate'dly how miiuch hothI these snediums are needed for niecessary use of aol diers. Member Associated Cole6iale Press RO Diuributor of 9 Colle6iate Di6est m About The Now Cleared-Up Fracus It's human iattre for rivalry to exist be tween two groups living side by side, and the presence of rivalry is not always a had thing. Because of rivalry games are played, medals are awarded. bitt sometimes battles begiin. Since the first naval pro-flighter set foot on the campus a feeling of rivalry has been pres ent between the cadets and the students. Indi vidually the two get. along beautifully, but in groups there is a tension caused mainly by mis understanding. To clarify the issue we'll list the facts. First take the students. They're uot so dif ferent from the cadets. Every itiale. 18 or over, unless physically invapable, is iII some Imilitary reserve or expectitig an invitation in the near futtire to fill a spave in the reat ranks. All are gaining knowledge which can in some way be used to fight the enemy. They have no uni form as yet. and arise at the lnxurions hour of eight, or iiine. ut . uly 1st the majority will follow a more Militar- scledlle. Then the cadets. Remember the cadets didn't ask to come here, they were invited by the University. In fact, but for them, the red ink in the University's account bock would be much more noticeable. Also their life is definitely disciplined. They don't "fall in" at six a. m., nor join hands with Morpheous when many students are just leaving for a dance, because they once read a poem on "Early to Bed and Early to Rise". In some instances, however, because of the students, they. have made definite changes in their program. Ca dence counting was banned to allow the stu dent to sleep more peacefully in their beds at sunrise and in their desks during class. No two groups have identical interest.s. bit we students and the cadets have iitli inore in c(.n iinon than1ai we have dividing us,. and as in lieit ust be a poliervof give in tae J-oth grioups shoutid also realize, although it.- hard to believe. that there is a war being foiigit. and not take the dispicable attitide of John L. and hris mine wiorkers to subordinate the relfare of the world to their own personal interests. There are still boys who because they are go ing into the forces soon pay no attention to their studies, instead of trying to learn as much as is possible in the limited time. Socroriit ies aind lraterit ies still cost as much mnoney V.St ill spend( as5 muchrl mon1ey, st ill place~ the emphasis of1 heir act ivit ies on fun-instead of' either disbanding, to save money, or miak inug thlemnselv~es over into groups worth t heirt expenses byv otferinug service. tilme and money to gooed enauses. Thani which there is none bet - ter thanm edunting their o\vn miembers to the fact t hat t here is a waru on noew. The facutlt y has organiiized a grotup to dhiscuIss p(ost -war prob,lem. The faculty has ecepted over-time work, extra classes. extra labs. lanmv of' themi have given upl their own favored line of study t.o t eaeb thle pre-flight boys, subject s that ate noil as interest ing to thlemii. The administration has been all out in mak ing Carolina a training place for the navy stu dents. Too much so to suit some students, who cheer when the Colonel announces some new plan, arnd then gripe long and loud because the school is, so they say, neglecting them. Hells, bells, even if that were true, which it isn't, tritely and dully-this is war. Civilian popula tions are, and should. be neglected to the ex tent that the armed forces may have what they need. We all ought to be proud to undergo crowded rooms and inconvenient eating ar. rangenments for a while. Everybody else in the country is doing it. Who the hell are we to demand that we be treated like generals? There is only thing~ thlat we ought to' kick abut. in thle way of' beinig neglected, but, t his itemi could staned pilenty (of kicking ini thle place wvhere. it wvoeuld do thle most good. To thein a iinist rat,ion. toi thle factulty, and toi thle sI i dent s, we uirge.

Our job is not to moani like spoiled brats. Bit to work so that this thing may he over 8oon,i anid so lint when it is over, we'll know enough to see thait it doiesn 't happen again sooni. One last thought. In all the talking, we leave out the small percentage that is doing something, i,hat is aware. There's no use say ing much to them. Except this . . that they shouldn't be so quiet about it.

CANNON FODDER BY TINA CANNON * 0 Say Con You Kor-Choo? VVith the advent of warm weather, and the blossoming of oil the pretty little fiowers with oil the pretty little pollen on 'em, there comes a time in the life of every hay-fe,er sufferer when he feels that he can no longer restrain himself. After a few preliminaries of twitching hose, and, watering eyes, he bursts forth with a series of explosive sneezes. T[is causes great merriment if the performance takes place in the classroom, and the poor hay-fever sufferer must bear the brunt of his %afflict*on plus the giggles of his fellow students. But while sneezes furnish amuse ment for them, strange to soy, it does not for the teachers. They, rightly, resent being interrupted in their lectures by frequent poroxyms of ker-choos, and glare at the offenders as if they were sneezing on purpose and could stop if they wanted to. 0, hard is the lot of a hoy-fever sufferer! There are as many types of sneezes as there are sufferers. Each one has his own distntive and individual brand Probably the most common type is the ker choo, or its voriations-ah-ch,oo, per-choo, or boaa-choo. Most people sneeze this vo'ay. B,,jt there are other types whi:h are interesting, and prove fascinating to those who oniy stand and listen. One which I have always been mystified by is the muff;ed firecrocker type. It comes on suddenly, and bursts forth with hardly any preamb'e. It's more of a snort than anything elFe. There is also the type that sounds like a heavy ro:k being dropped in a vell, a sort of a "per-chunk" sound. This usually corres from men vho are welt along in years and obesity. Another k7nd resemb es the g!od clarion call of a cock in the morning, with "nv.wvkkk-chorieeee" effect. Yes, the types are many and varied. There is great opportunity for originality in sneezes when one has hay-fever. After all, there are so many chonces to pro,-tire. But the lot of a hoy-fever sufferer Is hard indeed. Life is just one sneeze after another! * Concerning Wolves ...
