Another Polling Place
With 6800 voting members in the current student body, the
problems a general campus election will present are numerous.
The ever-present problem of getting out the students to vote
will no doubt persist, although at the last campus election, held
this past spring, the greatest number of students ever to vote
came to the polls.
At that election, only one central polling place existed. Use
of 'one such voting place worked fairly well, but many of the
lower quad boys failed to come up to Gerrard hall to vote. Then
too, others, upon seeing the lines, were not desirous of sweating
out a line for any reason.
Therefore, we believe it would be advisable to have another
polling place besides the one in Gerrard hall for the coming,
elections. The lines theoretically will be twice as long this year
and every effort should be made to have as many students as
possible vote. Another voting place, possibly located in Lenoir
dining hall, would help reach more of the student body and
facilitate the voting procedure as far as the students are con
cerned. A second centrally-located spot would double the possibility
of reaching a greater number of students and cut the length of
the lines in half .
True, it would require more work and . impose some added
difficulties on the elections committee, but their iob is to mak
,;: the elections efficient and accurate' An extra polling place
would be a profitable step. ,
Freedom
Dean Weaver sounded a keynote the other night when he told
the leaders of Campus life that the efficiency of Student govern
ment was not the basis upon which it is judged; neither is it
the basis upon which our national government is judged.
Far from appearing discouraged with Student Government,
' the Dean reiterated the axiom that leadership must always find
itself in the distinct minority. He seemed to draw consolation
from the fact that failures here may one day represent suc
cesses in foreign and domestic affairs because prepared deci
re being put together here for the drive down the high
road labeled "for keeps." But we think the thing Dean Weaver
Uy cherishes as a former Carolina Student himself is the
eipt which our campus life has in outstanding common with
the national government freedom.
The Reverend Charles Jones clinched the idea of freedom a
few nights later when her very timely observed that freedom is
not the right to do as we please at all. Rather, it is the right
to make a choice between what we know is best and most com
.patible with Society and that which we can easily see is not.

and other forms of misconduct could be prevented by prohibi

high degree. Vandalism and demonstrations almost disap
peared. The reason? There were students that would have
laughed at rules aimed at them who decided to be free in the
true sense of the word.
Welcome
Last Sunday night the initial presentation of the Laboratory
Theatre of the Carolina Playmakers, "The Farce of Master
Pierre Pathelin" was presented to the campus in Graham Me
morial. We wish to extend our welcome to a fresh, stimulating,
and interesting organization to Carolina. To those of us who
are interested in the creative and dramatic arts without "long
hairism" the Laboratory Theatre is a welcome addition.
Director Kai Jurgensen, script adapters James Smith and
Jacques Hardre and players Ma jo Sommer, Peter Bucknell,
Eleanor Ringer, Sam Hirsch, Max Paul, W. P. Covington, Lynn
& Lucille Gualt and all the technicians and helpers of the Lab
oratory Theatre may take a bow for their artistic and entertain
ing presentation. '
Carolina Merry-Go-Round
By Bob Jones
Last Sunday evening the fairly large audience who took the trouble to
drop in to the Main Lounge of Graham Memorial got a glimpse of what I
consider 10 be the right Ventrical of the real heart of the Carolina Playmak
ers. The function of the right ventrical incidentally, is to pump the oxygen
ated blood, into the body. The group that adapted, staged, directed and per
formed the Farce of Master Pierre Pathelin might well serve as an example
of what can be done by a "laboratory theater"; and what other function of
a college or university theater group is more important than that of serving
as a medium of developing ideas, tech
niques and performances.
But this is not meant to be a for
mal review of a production, the Mer-ry-Go-Round
doubts its competence
on the matter of such a review. What
seems to be more significant is the
fact that some of us at Carolina are
not taking advantage of an unusual
opportunity to- see productions (most
of them free) that demonstrate the
really fine talent that is now collected
at Chapel Hill. By this I mean primar
ily the younger group in process of
development.

(The purpose of this column is to
present facts to the student body con
ceming issues that involve misunder
standing or lack of cooperation be
tween the student body and the ad
ministration. It is , sincerely hoped
that a presentation of the facts will
give the student body a better under
standing of how this school is 'teing
run and further it is hoped that a
better understanding will lead to clos
er cooperation between both groups.
The facts will be presented as such
and no group will be favored on any
occasion. The Daily Tar Heel is
aware of Some of the controversial
issues at the present time; but the
students themselves can help greatly
if they will ask for explanation of
some of the administration's actions
or policies. The facts will be presented
on any issue that our' readers re
quest.) VETERAN'S TUITION RATES
At present the Federal Government
is paying a flat rate of $96 a quarter
for each veteran enrolled in UNC re
gardless "of his legal residence. Much
nas Deen saia to tne effect that it
seems unfair to charge the govern
ment the out-of-state rate for the
large number of veterans who are
legal residents of North Carolina. The
difference in these two rates amounts
to $208.80 per year. ($288 for out-
of-state and $79.20 for in-state stu
dents.)
At first glance it would seem as
though the State of North Carolina
were escaping her normal pre-war
obligation to assist in the educating
of North Carolina students. While her
sons were fighting the war it would
appear as though state appropriations
could be less because thousands of stu
dents were fighting in the four corners
of the world and were unable to at
tend college. Actually the state ap
propriations were consistently more
during the war years as is shown by
the following figures:

"What I Don't Like"
Dear Sir:
The November number of the Caro
lina Magazine has just reached me,
and after persuing it, I am moved to
wonder what type of irresponsible edi
torial judgment permitted its appear
ance.
I am amazed that two articles such
as ''What I Don't Like About Carolina"
and "What I Don't Like About Duke"
to appear side by side. Their styles
are utterly different, and as published,
hey illustrate extraordinarily poor
taste on the part of the editor, with
the result that Carolina shows up in
a bad light. Mr. Hodgson's humor is
quite good, and I like it, but it was put
in the wrong place this tjme. Either
that, or the article from Duke should
With the publication of the new
Class Schedule for the coming Winter
Quarter, the University Administra
tion has made it even more difficult
than it has been for the students to
make an intelligent choice of courses
in pursuing an education at the Uni
versity of North Carolina. The omis
sion of Professor's names from the
schedule, is to my mind, one of the
most inconsiderate and ill-advised
moves directed against the students,
in many years.
It certainly is inconsistent with log
ic, intelligence and mature planning
of a course of study to be forced to
buy a blind article; a "pig in a
poke" as my Grandma used ,to say.
Nobody would think of buying vege
tables for a dinner table without first
looking at the vegetables to deter
mine their" quality and freshness. And
yet, we are expected to register for
courses blindly, remaining totally in
the dark as to who is going to teach
us. Surely no one in South building
would buy an overcoat in the dark.
But, we are expected to be docile little
sheep and buy courses in the dark. . .
just so long as we pay our money.
Under the present system of Class
Schedule listings, you aren't even giv
en the old American privilege of "pay-
...
mg your money and taKing your
choice." You just pay your money,
with no choice.
Most of us are proud of much of
the work being done by Kai Jur
gensen and Foster Fitz-Simmons
but they are not of whom I wish
to speak.' I refer primarily to Sam
Hirsh whose acting in "School For
Husbands" presented last Spring
was the best that I have ever seen
on any amateur stage and whose
plays, one of which was produced at
the last bill of experimental, dem
onstrate his dual gifts of keen per
secution and fluent expression. His
experimental play, implemented by
good interpretive acting and direc
tion, was received better than any
experimental produced since I came
to Carolina and Is still being dis
cussed with enthusiasm. ,
Presumably you, Mr. Veteran who
fought your way around the world,
commanded hundreds of men, was en
trusted with hundreds of thousands of
dollars worth of intricate machinery,

I would venture to say that not five
per cent of tne students at Carolina
are actually conversant with the facts
concerning Duke University. At least,
I am not. I do believe that the con
tinuous harping upon ill feelings and
frequent efforts to stir up animosity
concerning another institution, when it
is not justified in the slightest by the
facts, is evidence of an immature men
tality and a warped point of view.
Very truly yours,

The legal basis for the rates
charged veterans is found in section
2, paragraph 2 of the Servicemen's
Readjustment Act of 1944 which
reads, "Institutions which have non
resident tuition may, if they so de
sire, charge for each veteran enroll
ed under Part VIII (G.I. Bill) such
customary tuition and incidentals
as are applicable to all non-resident
students, provided that the charges
are not in conflict with existing laws
or other legal requirements. (The
present charges of UNC are legal
as determined by Circular 47 issued
by the Veteran's Administration
Feb. 27, 1946).
Since the act states, "as applicable
to ALL non-resident students," the
University changed the previous out-
of-state rates so that all non-resident
students had to pay a flat rate of $96
a quarter and did away with the old
rates of $3.65 and $6.00 a quarter
hour. (If your tuition increased this
quarter, this situation is the main
reason why it did).
The $288 which is paid by the Fed
eral Government goes to cover the
actual teaching cost of a veteran. Ac
cording to Controller W. D. Carmi-
chael Jr., it costs the State of North
Carolina from $200 to $250 to pay
the other expenses involved in educat
ing the veteran.
The big problem of the University
is in maintaining its faculty. With an
estimated shortage of 10,000 compe
telligent enough to handle with com
petence the matter of picking your
own professors.
In advance, let me state that the
argument "well, all you have to do is
look in the catalog to find your Pro
fessor," does not hold water. In the
first place the catalog doesn't even
give a description of the course; it
merely lists the names of the course
and by some kind of crystal gazing
you are supposed to know what it is
about. In the second place, it's prac
tically impossible to find a catalog
around here, ("shortage of news
print," you know). And, most import
ant of all, the catalog is not a valid
indication of who is going to teach
the course.
For example, English 51 is listed
in the catalog as being taught by
Dr. Howell. Nobody tells you that
Dr. Howell is in Guatemala and will
be there for the entire academic
year. So, who is going to teach the
course? Aha, my friends, that's the
mystery. . .you're supposed to guess

pay adequate salaries. If tuition rates
are low, some of our best men may be
forced to leave us. (Veteran's tuition
rates are supposed to cover actual
teaching costs, which are, for the
most part, faculty salaries.)
The GI Bill provides a maximum
tuition payment of $500 a year
which will leave most veterans $222
a year for text books and school
supplies. The percentage of veterans
who have to pay over $500 a year
for tuition and school supplies is
negligible. (In some cases medical
and dental students have to buy
expensive equipment which the GI
Bill won't cover.)
The important facts seem to be:
1. The State of North Carolina. is
not escaping its obligation to North
Carolina students.
2. The University needs to pharge
all veterans the out-of-state rate in i
order to pay its faculty as adequate
salary.
3. The Federal Government can and
is willing to pay the out-of-state tui
tion rate.
4. The University ha3 raised out-
of-state tuition to a flat rate of $96
a quarter.
5. The vast majority of veterans
do not exceed the $500 a year allotted
to them by the GI Bill.
