C. Dear Mr. Clark: Your letter concerning the beliefs of some of the members of the University 'of North Carolina faculty was received by the DAILY Tar Heel Wednesday. We appreciate your writing it and take great pleasure in publishing it in full. The Daily Tar Heel does not agree with all of your beliefs. In fact, it sharply disagrees with a number of them. But regardless of your ideas, regardless of the degree to which the Daily Tar Heel might disagree with you, it concedes you the right in fact, it insists that you have the right to give expression to and have published, the views you hold and believe to be true. Sincerely'yours, ... The Daily Tar Heel. Government for the Coeds As the Woman's association installs its officers, the old grimace at divided student government returns. Jane . McMaster, new president, will undertake the task of governing the coed popula tion; and the coed jwpulation will continue its responsibility to of ficials apart from the main Ixxly of students. The officers of the coed organization will manage a government which is a miniature of that for male students. Proposals have come insistently from certain members of both men and women's groups that the smaller Woman's association be combined with the larger system of student government. Defend ers of the proposed unification point to the new dormitories for women, and assume with justification that the number of coeds will continue to increase. Now they add a new argument. They say the vote of 237 coeds in the recent elections is indicative of the in creasing power of the association. Arid they argue for an imme diate combination of the twov systems of student government. The desirability of a'single controlling group for men and women students is not to be contested. Neither is it to be argued that the coed population is static Advocates of . good student government would never defend a dual system for a single school. For the present, however, Miss McMaster will be wise to oppose any movement which attempts the combination. The chance of adequate coed representation on an honor council would be slight. The coeds, satisfactorily cared for by their present government, would assume an inferior place in a general government. In a campus election few coed candidates might expect to become mem Ders of the honor council. The Woman's association is the only practical government at this time for coeds. To Miss McMaster and her associates, we wish a successful year. I slipped in on the tail end of the annual Tar Heel banquet last Sunday night. I really didn't have any busi ness in there I found out later. Phillips Russell was just beginning a second in a series of speeches he made at the banquet. It seems that he mislaid parts of his speech, and every time he -found a sheet of it, he would interrupt the progress of the ban- where he had left off. The only trouble is that I got in on the wrong sheet. He was in the midst of condemn ing the Tar Heel and other campus publications n ot worth mentioning for their attitude towards the coed on the campus. He reminded the group that the coed faction on the campus was a fast growing group; that they should have their share of represen tation in all organizations; and above all, they should be respected. Mr. Russell is exactly right. Tears came to my eyes when. I. thought of how the coed had been treated on the campus. Quietly, I slipped from the banquet and locked myself in a 'near by room to think. That night, I pledged myself to the fight for more representation and more respect for the coed. on the campus. In short, it was a pledge for bigger and better coeds. (I'm speaking figuratively.) Have you ever stopped to realize that the coed has no representation on the Student council? Well, they haven't, and when you look at the Wo men's council and discover- that it consists entirely of coeds, you begin to realize how unfair we are. Another example is the YMCA. There isn't a single coed listed in this organization. On the other hand, that's all there is in the YWCA. If the YWCA can afford to be made up entirely of coeds, surely the YMCA could allow at least one representa tive from them. Many other examples can be cited. Look at the Monogram club, the In- terfraternity council,, and the inter- dormitory council. Not a single coed in the group. " And in regards to respect, we are equally as bad. How many times have you been ' in a class when the bell would ring, and all the boys jump up and make f or'the door. The poor coed is left in there all alone with the pro fessor. Now, is that nice? Think what might happen, or better still, take a look at the final grade for the quarter. Isn't it awful? Again, when you take a coed to the show, don't dash up, to the ticket window and buy both tickets. That's disrespectful. . : And filially, in bull sessions, stick to politics and religion. Coeds never sit up hours after dates to talk about you. Please don't get me wrong, boys. I don't mean to be hard on you. Just give these things a thought. Who knows? Maybe you can have your best girl, fighting shoulder to shoulder with you in the next war. day Letters to the Editor All letters must be typewritten and are subject to cutting.

Editor, Daily Tar Heel: My attention has been called to your editorial entitled, "Mr. Dies To Pay a Visit" and it-seems to me that it is based upon an erroneous im pression. I have never, at any time, made any charges against the student body at Chapel Hill nor have I suggested that the Dies Committee investigate any - student organization. I believe in freedom of speech and in academic freedom and I realize that in any large student body there are always some who espouse radical ideas if only for the purpose of dif fering with the majority. Since the days of Christ there have been hundreds of groups or colonies formed upon the communistic plan but all have failed because those who do their full share of ; the- community work assigned to . them are . not very long willing to share production equal ly with those who fail to do their as signment. Only a few years ago; we had communist colonies in New York State and in Iowa but they disinte grated when it was found that some would not do their share of the work. If a group of students wish, in spite of its 100 per cent record . of failures, to advocate the theory of communism, I believe -that ' they have a right to do o provided they do not advocate the overthrow of our Gov ernment by force or are not affiliated with persons who do.. My, charges hae been directed sole ly at a small group of the faculty who have made use of . their class rooms and their contacts to sell com munism, socialism and atheism to students entrusted to their, care. From an issue of the Daily Tar Heel I quote the following: "Arnold Williams, who is re membered on this campus for the introduction of communist theory into freshman English courses, has left the University for a posi tion on the faculty of the Missouri School of Mines." I am definitely opposed to permit ting professors and instructors, who are paid by the State of North Caro lina, to use their class room for prop aganda purposes and from contacts with your alumni and with some who are now students, I know that.it is being done. I offer no apology for my state ments relative to such members of your faculty or for my suggestion that they be investigated by the Dies committee but I do feel that you have not understood my attitude toward the student body and student activities. The radical group of professors and instructors have been very effective in rallying to their support ultra- loyal alumni, by falsely charging that I have attacked the University itself but I challenge anyone to quote a single statement of mine which could justly be so construed. I contend that the fact that a man advocates the removal of a cancer from the body of his mother does not justify, the charge , that he has made an attack upon her. In my opinion and in the opinion of a very large number of the citizens of North Carolina, the radical group of professors and instructors at Chapel Hill, constitutes a cancer which should be removed from an otherwise fine in stitution. , DAVID CLARK.
