Two THE TAR HEEL Thursday. Auyusl 23, lt-'M If Should Be Frighfening In Minneapolis, Minn., this week one thou sand American students are meeting. In -Berlin this month two million communist youth met! The meeting in Minnesoto, the "fourth annual congress of the United States National Students Association, of which Al Lowenstein, former University student, is -president, is the only nation-wide organiza tion of its kind in America and the only student organization in the world which is o"fering the Communist-controlled Interna tional Union of Students any visible oppo sition. . But what good the NS A has been able to k in counteracting the Red youths, has come only after internal fights within our , own camps. The McCarthy gang of nitwits have found the NSA to be a good target and have shouted RED and PIJJK and a few -other unkind . remarks. The NSA had a very difficult time getting started because -of petty issues on the various campuses . over the country. Here at the University, the NSA has been attacked by some stu- tents on the grounds that the Association is a waste of money. Several students here have also taken the cry of the McCarthyites. As President Lowenstein has remarked, "When you listen to both of them (Red and McCarthyites) it is difficult to tell . which is which." ( It is impossible to measure in dollars and cents the benefit to the Soviet cause of the youth rallies in Berlin. Drew Pearson's article appearing on the front page of this paper should be nothing less than frighten ing to every American it should also be sobering. While we permit out Lilly putian aims to ,somewtiat determine our policy the Communists work day and night for their idea. They managed to get the two million stuUents to come to Berlin1 because they got down to work. The Daily Tar Heel received no less than 11 individual pieces of literature from the Reds prior to the mass meetings. They attempted to facilitate every matter for the students; they gave travel schedules; rates' and every possible angle on expenses; they outlined their pro gram of games and parties -aru they en closed, their pro'paganda. They worked; . they spent money; but they staged a fantas tic youth rally. It is to be hoped: that the fight over NSA on the Carolina campus is ended; the NSA, if really given moral and financial support from the student bodies and also from the federal government can have a signifi cient effect in the' international conflicts now going on and perhaps, eventually, we will learn to sell our system at least as well, if not better, than the Communists have learned to sell theirs.

Bruce Melton, Kit Crittenden. Coed Reply Of Flirtation How Long This Double Standard? The summer-school edition of the Caro lina Playmakers made a real effort last week to give the campus some dramatic entertainment. It succeeded. Agatha Chris tie's popular mystery, Ten Little Indians, was warmly received and genuinely appre ciated. The houses were. packed, and the curtain calls many, the production lively," and the acting compitent. But it is time the whole farse was called to a halt." It is always regretable to see standards lowered, even though we may become hard ened to the down trend on the Hill. The smaller departments of the University use crip courses as drawing cards for the non- - student "student body, the Educational Foun dation uses money as a drawing card for the "athletic" student body, but the Sum mer School has continued to use the value of refreshing intellectual stimulation as the drawing card for the state's teachers. They may be somewhat disillusioned by our fair campus. If they are it is thanks to such - noble but misplaced efforts as those which went into the Playmaker's recent produc tion. It was a good show, an entertaining even- ing, but it wasn't the usually fine produc tion which the year-round Chapel Hill playgoer has come to expect., That makes us sad. For it is the memory of such grade B efforts that will be carride to the four . corners of the state next week. , We do not blame the cast, nor do we wish to deprive our would-be actors of an oppor tunity to display their talents. But we point - an accusing finger directly at the Dramatic Arts Department. For it is there that the ' decision is made to palm off on the sum mer-school public , an emasculated version of one of the University's few artistic assets. It is there that, through some deplorable ability to compromise, the department de cides that two directors and a handfull of eager but undisciplined students are .to carry on their dramatic efforts under the justify ably respected name of the Play makers. " It is there that the standards are lowered. Yes, it is time the whole farse was. called to a halt. For dramatic entertainment is not the goal of the Playmakers. And al though Mr. Patterson's production of Ten Little Indians was such entertainment, we are disappointed, for we had hoped for more. The cast with few exceptions was uni formly superior. Mr. Trotman, as J udge Wargrave, and Miss Crain, as Vera Clay thorn, both deserve special mention for their depth of characterization. Mary Virginia Morgan, as Mrs. Rogers, hardly deserves mention at all. The rest were capable and handled their parts with understanding. But their pacing was poor,-not so much in the picking up of cues, but in the delivery of the play's many longer-than-dialogue speeches.. This twe' must credit to a lack of sufficient disciplined rehearsal. The set was below Playmaker par, the costumes occasionally top attention .getting. The lighting in the candle-lit scene deserves its own applause. In all Director Patterson's effort' left us fairly pleased on a Warm Friday evening. But it would have sadly disappointed us on a chill February night. How long this double standard? ., Tom Kerr By Gen Mays The institution of flirtation has long been used by women to attract men. But womn en gage in such activity solely for the self rgratif ication they re ceive through gaining the ad mirations and then the affec tions of men. The coquette or flirt trifles in love without seriousness or decision. One of the primary instru ments of coquetry is facial ex pressions especially the eyes. A man then must admit that such behavior is necessarily a combination of physiological and psychological processes. Ob viously the body is used even in cases when the flirting is done discreetly, but any respectable woman is indeed a fool to use her body without first consider ing the complete effect it will have upon the opposite sex. If men would stop to think, they might even consider flirt ing to be uncomplimentary. Without a doubt a woman's ego is flattered in that with a, smart wave, a quick toss of the head or the right glance, a man's at tention can be commanded. Men pride themselves on having the -'lines," but a woman can "hook" a man without exercising any mental powers. Does this speak well of men? But perhaps much of this is beside the point because women of today do not flirt. They do not have to. Unlike in the days of' old, modern women mingle in the same social circles with men. And to a large ex tent they do have equal rights some of which are constitu tionally stated. At this university, the coeds can get dates without practic ing coquetry. Why should, a coed bother to raise an eyebrow when there are all over the cam pus such childish males who have a great big "Bally-hoo" everytime they see anything in a skirt? And why should we coeds be looking for dates when many of us feel that about two thirds of the local masculine mass are dating just for "kicks?" Letter Editor: I am not one who usually writes a letter to an editor. But the conduct displayed by those individuals responsible for that mass gathering at which the in sane dribblings of an idiot play ing a violin (sic . . . fiddle) pro- - dead This - '(Continued from Page 1) locksmith's apprentice, and the third out of work.

A long line of supposedly Communist youngsters from East Berlin stood waiting to pass through, but the boys I talked to had already seen the impressive train. As we talked of communism which they didn't like I asked what they thought of a United States of Europe. "That's what we've got to have," said the carpenter's ap prentice, banging his fist on the table. "We've got to be united just as that train says. That's the way to lick com munism and the way to lick war." That remark pointed up to me the chief mistake we are making in'our battle against communism. In Berlin, Moscow was selling an idea we were handing out soup and bread. In the rest of Europe, Moscow has been selling an idea we've been handing out Marshall Plan money to build buildings, railroads and roads. These are important. But sometimes people will fight harder for an idea than for full stomachs.
