GUEST EDITORIAL GIVES VETERANS ORGANIZATION PLAN "During the current semester an organiza tion consisting of returned veterans of World War 11, is being organized here on the cain pus. Last semester this suggestion was ma(de however, there were only five veterans in school. Consequently we were unable to accom plislh anything definite towards the organiza 1 loll. At present there are twenty-two returned veterans enrolled in the University and a defi ilite organization is now in the elbryonic stage. However, it is impossible to outline anly plans for the veterans organization, at this tine. "The primary pupllose for this group is to render all possible aid to veteranis as they re turn to school. At the first meeting of the group. Iist"issions were held conevrinig the pu1r11pose, Il Il, and maagement. Some excelleint ilt'Is were pr 1esen'llt'I by" all present, which wIienl systemllatized iii a formial constitution will ai lv n a ii clear ent. sound an1(d efficienlt or-, ganiizait I)11. "It is believed that in the next two semes ters a rather large number of veterans will be enrolled at Caroiina; and it is this belief that fostered the hirth11 of the veterans' organization.

It is through1 this national organization that we hope to secure a charter for the Carolina chapter. The potential capi111lit ies for such an organization in render ing st'rvice to veteranls, as well as to colleges sind luni versities are tremendos in scope. At the sale time su'h advancement of the or-ani .atinI' \will necessarily have to be uilitiols in ordt'r to maintain a solid fouiation upoln which to work. Naturally, upon attaining stic a fotmlatlion it will grow by leaps and bounds. "With these views in mind the first step to ward organlizationI II was made.

In the print-crammed inches that flank us there, oddly enough a blankness and a vacancy prevail. Something within us seems to cringe and wait as if for some expecte<. blow. A ghostly challenge .lovers over the well-ordered and systematic make-up of our page. The haunting memory of a little man "who isn't here'' momentarily paralyzes our sense of reason. And in this moment of madness we are engulfed by an irrational wave of loneliness. Reese, you rat, I miss you ! OUR BOYS WENT NORTH We were talking to the mother of an alumnus who is now at Cornell in Im idshipmliai's school. The old guy seems to be getting along bleautifully and doing his aima mater prouild. One anecedote derived from a trip his parents recently made uip to see him 1 str-'u.ck its as being just too significant o at I a true 'arolina 1 man's ability to really get into the "swing'' of tlungs. "Bcing South'erni,'' renark:ed lhe mother, "I've always ihouglht of 'an11kee wv'omen as generally having rather large legs. Therefore I was impressed by the maximuin of trim ankles on the Cornell calmpis." "that," interjeeted her son, "is the way we tell a freshman from a senior.
