Free Meals With Pay
A recent survey on “waiting time in the dining hall” gave
the figure of an eleven minute average time-in-line per stu
dent. Needless to say. this average must have ben computed
on n day when there was adequate personnel on the job in the
dining hall, both lines open, and h>oth adding macliines in
operation.
The Sunday lunch waiting line is atrocious, with an aver
age waiting time fluctuating between a half-hour and forty-
five minutes. When you arrive at the serving line the pack
aged lunchcs are “sold out.’’ The silverware has depleted
;ind there is one person serving every item from bread to soup.
One explanation submitted for this confusion and delay in
service is the lack of student help in the dining hall; i.e., serv
er.';, dishwashers, etc. I herewith invite the administration to
visit the dining hall once more at the height of noon lunch on
Sunday, or any week day! Please observe the dishwashers
and food handlers, especially the beverage counter you will see
how rushed and overworked they are. It is difficult to com
prehend what keeps them on the job. The pay is pathetic and
the job certainly has no appeal.
These students are constantly subjected to the hostile atti
tude of students dissatisfied with the dining hall. If meals
wore offered FREE to student employees the prospects of work
ing in the dining hall would greatly be enhanced. Thus, more
students would consider working in the dining hall, the lines
would perhaps move more rapidly, and the strain of meal
time greatl.v reduced.—JLM
Homecoming
Although we U>st the game. Homecoming was a success
this year. Wo think that the preparations went as smootlily
as possible, and that the whole weekend showed an luiusual
amount of organization and cooperation. We do wish that the
date had been some time other than the National Teacher's
Exam, but perhaps this couldn't be helped. At any rate, we
would like to have seen the date changed when the conflict
was discovered.
Homecoming, more than any other school activity, involves
a sreat percentage of the student body. Because the floats
from each class are publicized more than other campus activi
ties, within the group, there is a better chance of day student
participation. In addition, the warehouse becomes a center, if
somewhat chilly, of society for that particular time.
The people who take responsibilitj* for the various aspects
of the wer'kend deserve a special vote of thanks. We hope that
we don’t leave anybody out. but we have no official list to
go by,
Mr. Milton Rogerson, who was in charge of the parade,
did an excellent job of keeping up with everything, making
everything work, and answering questions,
Jim Van Camp, who was student chairman of the parade,
worked his hardest. Everylxxly who worked on the floats in
the warehouse appreciated his constant attentions to those
stranjro miniature infernos that made superior handwarmers
and cigarette lighters. Mr. Van Camp was usually on hand
when information was needed and help was wanted, and again
we cvngratulate him for the fine job he did.
•■Vll the orsranirations that built a float deserve a sp>ecial
pat the back. The floats, this year, were the prettiest and
most creative that we have seen since we emerd three years
ago For those of you who have ne\-er helped with a float.
will provide a litUo information. The expenses for the
floats come from the organization's budget. In the case of the
Greeks, whose floats are in the majority, the money comes
from the treasury of ehe dues. We would estimate that the
parade cost every Greek on campus about a dollar plus his
time <ind energy. The time in the warehouse during float-
building is rather short. The organizations rush frantically
to buy supplies and imix>rt people from town which is com-
paritively far away. The temperature in the warehouse was
c\>nsistontl,v below forty desrrees. Thanks again to those of you
who risked the flu to sit on a cold floor and stuff napkins in
chicken wire.
Those peviple who planned the two dances did a good job.
We don't k;iow exaoilj- who thev were, bu: we do know that
M iss Ward and Miss Daniels usual'o* carry a majority of the
resronsibi’.-.ty for such functions Both dances were enjoyable
and well-ixttended.
Thanks are especially in order to everybody from 'whom
we borrowevi anything—by anN'thin^ we mean such assorted
items as ^ir cv«ts. steam roller, bulldog, funeral grass, fumi-
tiuv, automobiles, and advice. Without these leaders, the whole
weekend wvxild have been a little flat-
All the chapen.-'nes for all the functions are to be thankec.
W;th them we shall include the p^'ple who as^:is;ed in serv
ing. *Jie advisors to the classes and the Greeks, sind ail the
administrative perscuuwl who were involved.
The ball team knocked themselves out for tis, and we
thank them for a good srame that we enjoyed. The cheerlead
ers spent some un-.e working up new routines, and we're sorry
th;it the unexpev'ted absence of one of their members prevented
t-'ier.i frx'm the presentation of these cheers.
Thanks esp>eciAl’;y to the faculty members who lightened
the academic Uvid during the latter pvart of las; week and the
first part of this week This was the greatest help of all when
■we were txy-.r.i: to pull extra minutes out of each day.
Mrs. L\nn West deserves a special vcte of thanks. I: was
who made it her responsibility u> keep up w-iih all the
queer, candidates and their problems, individual and co'iective.
^.e managvd to seep up with twenty bouquets wtuci had to
be returned after each reaction, and with conflicting schedules
anvi cases ci the flu. Wi'.hcut her help, we wvnild have had a
hard time getting all those deadlines met.
■\s we said earlier, this is no official list and we may have
missed someN.xiy, la any event, we think any«ie who devoted
tin'.e » Ucmecvifnmg can be proud—CC

The music that Ferrante & Tei-

content. While you cannot expect
to hear one movie score (Theme
from “The Apartment”) after ^-
other, you’ll likely hear something
along that line. These men have as
their goal a program that is first

listening will be in evidence.
for YOU who have State (Col

program is on Tuesday at 8:00,
Birgit Nilsson, an imposing Scandi
navian ^prano, will appear not
with piano accompaniment but
with a symphony orchestra — the
National (Washin^n, D, C.) Sym-
phonj% to be specific, with its con
ductor Howard MitcheU. Miss NU-
sson has drawn standing-room-only
audiences in New York City and
other music capitals. Her large
voice can, if anyone’s can, be suc
cessfully projected in the Coliseum
in Raleigh.

J. Kelly Adams Retaliates
Dear Editor:
In your article “J. Kelly Adams
Plays Lincoln,” the opening para
graph states that Dr. Arthur D,
We^er, president of this institu
tion, is to portray the title role of
John Brown. It is my feeling that
Dr. Wenger should, out of prece
dent and position, receive the hon
or of the caption on this article. I
also beg to inform you that I have
made no formal commitment to
Stage and Script as to playing the
part of Abe Lincoln in the John
Brown production.
It is my hope that you will print
this letter to publicly correct the
above errors.
Sincerely,
J. Kelly Adams
Young Democrats Discuss
Party Membership Choice
Democrats, Republican, In
dependent — how can one best
choose a political party to become
affiliated -with? What does each
partj- stand for? What are their
goals and achievements?
In choosing a political party,
you should inquire into its history
and background, for what is today
has been determined largely by
the past, and will undoubtedly pro
vide a key to the future. You
should also catch something of the
spirit of the party, of its attitude
toward people, toward change, and
toward the future, and of the op
portunities it pro\ides for youth
to achieve recognition and make
a contribution. Policies and men
may change, but it is the spirit,
the approach, and the posture of
a part>- which are lasting. There
^ little doubt, after close exam
ination. that the party which best
meets these specifications is the
Democratic Party.
Is there a difference between the
I»rt^s? What is distinctive about
the Democratic Party?
The Democratic ' Party was
founded over a century and a half
ago by the great phik»s<»her-
statesman. Thomas Jefferson, on
a profound faith that the people
are the proper objects of govern
ment concern and should form the
Mai repository of political power
l^gmnuig with these basic beliefs
the Democratic Party has formul
attitudes, concepts
pnnciples. and ideals which todav
its banc philosophy.
Perhaps dberaiism best de^ribes
Ae^m^: philos<^ljy our

largely
-_arty from bliad ad-
^^'e Qogna and rigid ortv
soaps to rapidly
changing economic, political, and
social conditions, while keeping
intact the continuity of tradition.
This tradition has caused the Dem
ocratic Party to become truly the
Party of the People, the Party of
Innovation, the Partj- of Ideas; it
is the Party devoted to the cause
of all Americans, regardless of
their social status, religious pref
erence, economic position, or geo
graphical location, and dedicated
to the principle of equal pri\ileges
for all, specific privilege for none.
The Democratic philosophy has
caused our Party to be respon
sive to the needs for innovations in
education, medicine, space, and the
fields which will co'ont in the 1960’s.
This philosophy has also produced
leaders, like President John F.
Kennedy, who understand the in
tense desires and drives behind tiie
young leaders in emerging nations
al lover the world.
Elbert Hubbard, a nineteenfli
century American author once
said, “A conservative is a man
who is too cowardly to fight and
too fat to run.” On the other hand,
Robert Fulton, the American in
ventor. said the function of con
servatism is “to keep what pro-
gressiveness has accomplished.”
America is the product of both
conservatism and liberahsm, but
it is the liberal’s responsibility to
be creative and to lead. ITiat is
your responsibility as a member of
the Democratic Partj".
- The best way to judge a politi
cal party is by its record! The
I^mocratic Party has been respon
sible for almost all of the land
mark legislation for both social
and economic progress in this cen
tury. In addition, the Democratic
Party has been responsible for
neMly all of the legislation through
which the United States has met
her international obligations. Here
is just part of the Democratic
record: llieir Federal Reserve
Act, Adamson (eight-hour day)
Act, Women’s Suffrage, TVA. Wag
ner Act (labor’s Magna Carta),
Social Security, Rural Electrifica
tion Act, Federal Housing Acts,
Reciprocal Trade Agreement Act,
Robinson-Patman < small business)
Act, Full Employment Act. Tru
man Doctrine. Marshall Plan,
Housing and Slum Clearance Act,
the Ci\il Rights Acts of 1957 and
I960, the Depressed Areas Act aM
the Minimum Wage Act of 19®-
Who can begin to match tliis rec
ord of positive legislation?
Democratic Party looks fo^
^"ard to fully meeting the
lenge of the future under the leM-
firship of a young and able chiet
executive, wih the cooperation d
a responsible CJongress.
