THE TAR HEEL History Can Do Little More For Dr. Graham Page Two M0 4A 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. ov, , T3!clai student newspaper of the University of North Carolina at pt J where 11 1S published by the Summer School every Tuesday and and Thursday.

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.
