THE TAR HEEL
History Can Do Little More For Dr. Graham

Out of southern Asia come reports of
"cautious optimism" in regard to Frank Gra
ham's mediation mission between India and
Pakistan over the Kashmir. These reports
reach us on the heels of earlier reports which
spoke of the impossibility of settlement and
of how Graham would be received with the
minimum of courtesy.
Both of the Asian powers had been warned
that the UN mediator was no ordinary man
the Indians were told that Graham would
come to India and out-Ghandi Ghandi; and
the Pakistini had been told he would come
there and out-Moslem the Moslems. Both
nations were prepared for him as neither
desired a compromise settlement of Kashmir.
But it would appear that already they have
made a major "mistake" in their plans by
' simply conferring with Graham at all. For
it is quite true, he is no ordinary man. The
Dutch came to realize this in Indonesia,
where Graham was also the UN mediator
over the dispute, which had errupted into
open warfare between the natives and the
Dutch. Here, against "impossible circum
stances," Graham succeeded. He knocked the
heads of the two together, baptised them in
the charm of his ineluctable personality and
emerged as the father of a United States of
Indonesia, a nation with 75,000,000 people
far more than the population of this country
when it was founded at the Constitution
Convention in Philadelphia.
Since 1948, when the settlement was
reached in Indonesia, the archipelago nation,
yet in its infancy, has proven itself one of
our most inextricable allies in the Orient.
There are few, if any, parallels in diplomatic
history but a challenge is Kashmir.
' The road of settlement of Kashmir is long.
Involved are the intricate elements of a strug
gle between two idealogies and two civiliza
tions between two opposing religions and
the ancient customs of a foreign culture.
Should Frank Graham win in this highest
challenge of his proven ability history can
do little more for him than it already must
for his many contributions.
And one day, perhaps not too far off
when North Carolinians begin their great
introspection and disinter the memories of
the summer of 1950, a lot of them are going
to sense that possibly they did not do the
right thing in respect to Mr. Graham and
Mr. Smith.
Four-And-A-Half-Dqy Boarding School
To the person who is concerned about the
state of this University and this to the point
of realizing and understanding its needs and
shortcomings the great exodus of students
from the community every Friday afternoon
is somewhat sickening it is illogical and it
is injurous to this school as a unitary edu
cational institution.
There are several reasons why students
leave the University on the weekends but
when one sets out to analyze the problem
and it is, undeniably, one of a major nature
one is given to wonder which came first,
. the chicken or the egg.
; Students leave the community, it would
seem, because of the complete breakdown
of social and intellectual life during the
weekend. Yet, it would appear that this
breakdown occurred when students began
leaving en masse after the abolition of Satur
day classes back during the war. Since that
time the University has been a four-and-a-half-day
boarding school which closes its
doors noon Friday.
There was a time when lectures and
speeches, concerts and stage productions
could attract capacity crowds on the week
endssuch an achievement now is virtually
impossible. There was a time when week
ends afforded students and faculty and ad
ministration people an opportunity to get to
know each other on a personal basis such
relationships are as much a part of the Uni
versity as any physics laboratorv for it is in
this close contact between students and edu
cator, and only here, that real understanding
is to be had. And understanding was what
many people once evisioned when the name
oi unapel mil was mentioned.
There was a time when student activities
flourished because students were in Chanel
Hill on the weekends and participated in
them. The IRC and the CPU once held an
outstanding interest amone both students
and faculty but both were almost destroyed
Dy trie oreaimown oi weekend life. Chapel
Hill even had and could support a bowling
. alley but no longer. Now onlv an imnatipnt
classroom, an incoherant student government
ana an occasional event out on the periphery
are leu. iviucn is laciung.
I he problem deserves a great deal nf
attention for it is necessary that we have a
luii-ume university, it it takes Saturday
classes to solve the problem then we should
have them. Perhaps if we worked at
long enough a few students might slowly
uegxn enjoying classes ana liking the Uni
versity community.

A Letter From The Editor
(The letter printed below is a letter
to ifie iar neei jor puOMcation froth
Miss Glenn Harden, editor of The
'Daily Tar Heel during the regular
session. Miss Harden is now a mem
ber of the staff of the Greensboro
uuuy iews.)
To The Editor:
Dear Bob,
As I am only a reader this
summer and have no active part
in student affairs my opinion
must of necessity be a long dis
tance one; but from here it
seems to me that there can be
no argument with the fact that
you and your staff have suc
ceeded in establishing a news
paper relatively free from the
flaws, that have haunted The
Daily Tar Heel in the past.
There is no doubt in my mind
that the full-fledged tabloid
has been far superior to the
bare notice sheet of past sum
mers. As for your editorial
policies they are as open to
debate as those of any editor not
content to merely sit back and
observe the passing thing. De
bate and differences of opinion
are an essential and healthy part
of a democracy such as that of
the University.
Therefore I congratulate you
on handling of tremendous re
sponsibility and I know you will
continue to put out a top-notch
newspaper next session with the
continued cooperation of your
very fine staff.
Glenn Abbot Harden
