However, there seems to be general agreement that the Governor displayed an extreme lack of tact in his remark that he is hastening the construction of a new hospital here to take care of the Carolina football players "after State gets through with them." A remark like that before 7,500 Carolina students amounts to little more than sticking one's chin out unneces sarily. It should be remembered, though, that Governor Scott received a volley of boos when he was first introduced to the 44,000 fans. These jers were totally out of place. Without going into Scott's politics either pro or con, the Daily Tar Heel sees no reason why the Governor of this state should be subjected to boos at the mere mention of his name. Gov ernor ScqU was invited by this school to be a participant in the Greater University Day activities and should "have been accorded every respect a distinguished guest is due. The initial boos, however, should have been a tip-off to Governor Scott that a little diplomacy was in order for his next fow remarks. The Governor, a State graduate, no doubt intended his "hospital" remark to be all in good fun. Ob viously, he badly misjudged the reaction of the Carolina students. Governor Scott, who must be aware that his status as a State alumnus has been well-publicized, should have reali zed that the Carolina students would be watching him closely for any indication of a partisan attitude toward his alma mater in preferance to Carolina. As Governor of North Carolina and chairman of the University Board of Trustees, he is expected to be completely non-partisan in' his dealings with both State and Carolina. Naturally, Governor Scott would tend to lean toward State at the football game, but hecertainly should strive to appear non-partisan in his public appearances. So the boos rained down on the Governor, probably, making his political enemies very happy. However, much of the booing was a chain reaction set off by Scott's opponents in the stands, and much more of it was directed against his half-time remark alone. It does not necessarily mean nis political tide is ebbing. , At any rate, Governor Scott seems to have focused the eyes of the public on the Governor's chair for a change. North Carolina governors were fast becoming figureheads. In the future, there will be more interest taken in the race for the governorship. Changing Rushing Hours The decision of the Interfraternity Council to begin rushing season on Sunday afternoon, October 30, instead of Sunday night, may bring unnecessary inconvenience to both freshmen and Carolina fraternity men. This, particular Sunday comes on a weekend of the Ten nessee game at Kenan Stadium and the Grail dance at Wollen Gymnasium Saturday night. Freddie Martin will be playing for the Grail dance, and a number of freshmen and fraternity men will want to have dates up for the weekend However, with rushing scheduled to begin at 2:30 o'clock Sun- ' day afternoon, it will be necessary for the boys to hurry their dates home sometime Sunday morning. Moreover, holding rushing on Sunday afternoon will not give the fraternities much time to straighten up their houses after the big weekend. Many or the . fraternity men and freshmen may want to go home after the football game too, and moving the rushing up to Sunday afternoon cuts short their weekend. One final point that should carry weight with most of the fraternities is that afternoon rushing never has proved par ticularly successful. There were many complaints last year when it was held during the afternoon. It seems that rushing is usually more relaxed and the participants more sociable at night than during the afternoon. An afternoon of rest after Saturday's game and dance also would toe welcome. Rushing was held on Sunday night last fall with few complaints. No reasons for the change this year have been advanced. Discontent-Over Seating Although most students are pleased with the showing that the Tar Heels made against the Wolfpack here last Satur day, there were signs of resentment among many of the students resentment which may grow stronger as the football season unfolds, especially if the Tar Heels have a good season, as they have had for the last three years. The discontent is not with the team, however, but with the manner of dealing out poor seats to students who have dates down for the game. Standing in the ticket line prior to the State game and seated in the end zone during the game, there was a great deal of talk about how other schools the University of Virginia for one have been handling the same problem, giving students with dates good seats for the tilts. ' The students argue that they are entitled to a good seat for the home games, and that if they have to buy a ticket for the dates they should be allowed to sit in a good section since all the tickets sell at the same rate. They also point out that many of the dates are from the Woman's College, a member of the Greater University; and students here and the girls as well think that they should be considered when the ducats are passed out. .......DICK JENRETTE ..C. B. MENDENHALL CHUCK HAUSER ..BILLY CAHMICHAEL III And HIHIIWI' Q Distributed by Cine Features Syndicate ty smncemeot with The Washington Star The Alan O'Neal, ' Junior, who commuted from Raleigh to classes in economics and English in the University during the summer, replaced the traditional notebook and pencil for note taking with a portable wire recorder. He explained in an interview that "it seems to me that note-taking interferes" with your paying attention to the lecture. You miss too many important facts by trying to get it all down in long-hand. So I hit on the idea of letting this machine record Professor (J. B.) Spencer's economics, while I listened to them withdut in terruption. Then I study from the, .recordings ; at home, . and takev my permanent notes from them." ; ' When asked what his in structor thought of the idea. Spencer is "Heartily in favor." O'Neal insisted that Professor In fact, says student O'Neal, the professor has asked to hear some of the play -backs himself, and says Jie has pro fited from hearing them. The machine itself apparently causes no disturbance in the classroom, since is operates noiselessly. O'Neal sat on the front row with the" microphone propped against a stack of books. He reports the "machine paid off in .what he considers to be "pretty good grades." . We are glad that Mr. O'Neal made "pretty good grades" from his wire-recording ses ions in the classroom. His is certainly an interesting and different educational theory. ,r YVL AGREED THAT WcVC GOT Ml Men To Watch - Mitchell, Bell Well, young folks, the first footbell game is behind us, Jim Mason is used to having Hauser in his poly sci class, folks have lost that confused, tired, bored, toheckwithit look and we're well on the road to having one of the finest -years in Carolina's history. Let's start the fall off right with a little speculation on the politics which will be brewing in a couple of months and especially next spring. From this corner, two guys to watch are Herb Mitchell, speaker pro tem of the legislature, and Dan Bell, chairman of the" Student Council. They just might be heading for a fight over the presidency when vote-casting time arrives. Mitchell is the fair-haired boy of the University Party while Bell repr esents the Student party. If the Campus party survives through the year, Dortch Warriner is a boy with a future. He could show up as a strong contender in either of the other campus loo. Editor Bill Claybroof of Yackety Yack fame was hard at work during Orientation It Was Unanimous, Too Class Comfort Machine Age By Wink Locklair However we sincerely....fer- vently.... hope that the Raleigh student's novelty will not re ceive any noticeable pop ularily or acceptance in Chapel . Hill. The use of a wire-recorder by the individual is all right, perhaps, but it just could not be practical for the masses. Suppose, for example, wire-, recorders, like pencils and paper, could be gotten on the GI Bill. Not only would the Book ex change be swamped with re quests, but the Director of Operations would have to hire a special crew to install hun dreds . of wall sockets in the classrooms. The Purchasing De partment, in a month's time, would have enough excess pa per, pencils on hand to last the Chapel Hill High School a whole" year. Of course a mass use of wire -recorders here would have an interesting effect on pinned coeds and the girls and boys going steady. We can see it now: every morn ing dozens of young . men walking up to the campus from Kenan, Spencer and Alderman lugging, not one, but two bulky cases to tape the day's notes; And, upon reaching Spanish 1 or fresh man English, the pelered-out male is further crushed by some hi g h 1 y unattractive young lady who asks him, "Henry, honey, would you be sweet enough lo plug in mah 'lil ole wire-recorder for 'lil ole unmechanical me?" And another thing. If it be This 'n That By Bill Buchan Week lining up pictures, etc., with Graham Memorial's chief character and bottle washer, Jimmy Alfalfa Mills. Billy could use a couple of good typists at the moment if someone wants to volunteer. Vice President Ted Leonard had to have his schedule change ed they had him in lab on Thursday nights, the night he conducts 'the circus called the Student Legislature. Jess Dedmond, former wheel and student president, says he has retired this year and is gonna watch from the side lenes. Sorta of an elder states man, maybe. Others who swear they've quit politics v are Charlie Long (he quits every year), Toby Selby, Tom Mayfield, Ed. Williams, Tom Kerr and Jim ' Souiherland. (Just a side note, they were , all defeated last year except Kerr. Maybe there's some logic in their decisions.) 1 Coy Carson, ex-basketbeller, and Fred Dale are handling the circulation headaches of the Durham papers these days. They are responsible for all 500 (there must be that many) newsboys who live down town every afternoon. But Coy says they came mandatory for all students to have wire-recorders, what would keep the professors and instructors from recording their lectures and letting the students pick them up from a secretary every morning? Then the student would simply play the disk at his or her leisure, re cord his homework, shoot it back to the professor who, with a set of earphones, could stretch out at home on a nice couch and proceed to correct his papers. Why not get an education by mail? We can see the beauty of recorded lectures during the football season, however. No classes for a day or two. All need to worry about cutting -that would be necessary is to contact someone who attend ed . class Thursday or Friday and listen to the lecture from his machine. A life saver. But, taking everything into consideration, we would have to fight any move to make wire recorders an essential part of classroom supplies. The turmoil, blown fuses and weight lost in carrying the machines about the campus would just not be worth the effort. They would be of no use in the laboratory. It would be an ordeal leaving them in Lenoir Hall and trying to find the right one after eating. And we have as yet to think of a good way to solve a cubic equation just by listening to the problem even in the peace and comparative quiet of Lewis Dormitory. sell papers, and money, gentle Is it true that a member of men, is still money, the Atomic Energy Commission, or someone in Washington, gave Hans Friestadt the necessary funds to complete his work here after his scholarship was re voked? And is it true that the current president of Flordia University was offered $15,000 to come here as top man, but he turned is down? Me and my faux pas. I went and asked the sharp looking coed sitting by me the other night if she had seen" "that dead S and F thow, 'Merrily We Love' last spring." The only good thing in it, I told her, was the chorus line. "Yes, she replied, I was the star of the show." Betty, really, I wux only kidding. Or something.

Can ya imagine having thai many good looking ' women to ' wait onll vmsHiiiGTdn SCEHE By George Dixon (Copyright King Features, 1949) WASHINGTON, Sept. 26 . Senatorial tempers are getting shorter and shorter as the boys are kept in the salt mines with no escape in sight. Mild dislikes are turning into detestations. We; had an unusually , glaring manifestation of this the other day during debate oh the arms bilL Old Tom Connally, of Tex as, was about to enter the Sen ate chamber when he observed that his political bete noir, Sena tor James P, Kem, of Missouri, had the floor. ... " "Ugh!" grunted Old Tom, "I can't take any of that!" and backed out shuddering. - Later the same day Senator Connally also manifested his in- creasing dislike for Senator Homer Ferguson, of Michigan. Senator Ferguson kept badger ing Old Tom with pointed ques tions about European aid. Old Tom grew testier and testier, whereupon Senator Ferguson re marked, with mock anxiety, that he hoped he was not "embarrass ing the distinguished Senator ; from Texas." ' To which Old Tom retorted with a very unparliamentary snarl: "Lei me say to the junior , senator from Michigan, that the only way he can embar rass the Senator from Texas is . by agreeing with him." ". We are out of line with the rest of the country in practically everything, including the cul tural. The Senate barber shop fea tures the Congressional Record for customer reading matter in stead of the police gazette. This is too high-class for me and I'm not even sure that I get it. But Mr. Clifford Hulme, of the London Daily Graphic, an old Oxonion who studied under many, an ox, observed that the devaluation of the pound had taken the quid out of the quid pro quo. ' ' ; Here in its entirety is an amendment to S.2522, the bill to stabilize prices of agricultural commodities, as introduced by Senator Arthur V. Watkins, of Utah: ' "On page 4, line 8, after the word 'nuts' insert the word 'honey'." - " Rep. Dewey Short, of Mis souri, who refers to himself as the "Educated Hillbilly", was holding forth at great and ex pansive length at the B-3B hearing the other day. Just before lunch he branched out into reminiscence and this amazing piece of dialogue en sued: Rep. Short: "Now recently I was down on the Roosevelt aircraft carrier with Admiral Blandy and he had a couple of planes there, duplicates I think of the mock turtle which flew all the way from Pert, Aus tralia lo Columbus, Ohio, as I recall accurately." ' Rep. L. Mendel Rivers, of South Carolina: "Don't you mean the Truculent Turtle?" Rep. -Short: "What did I say?" Rep. Rivers: "Mock turtle." Rep. Short: "Well, it's lunch time and my mind is on soup because that is what I want more than anything else right now." Mr. Pat McMahon of the Na tional Association of Manufac turers has just returned from Europe whither he . was sent by his outfit to "study" the Econom ic Cooperation Administration. "Did you hear," Mr McMahon asked a group of us globalists over a foaming beaker of butter milk in the National Press Club, "about the way in which the wives of our ECA officials ended a serious drought in Italy?" We said that this , had escaped our attention, whereupon Mr. McMahon proceeded: "The , drought was one of the most serious Italy has had in years. Rivers were so low that hydro-electric plants were forced lo shut down. An acute economic crisis was develop ing. ;'. Things were at their blackest when ECA, with true Ameri can ingenuity, came to the rescue. It persuaded the ECA wives lo schedule a series of garden parties. --- 7 J m The WASHINGTON Merry-go-round WASHINGTON. Last week's news that Russia had unloosed her own atom bomb caused this writer to do some digging into hfe own columns Written dur ing the Christmastide immedi ately after the first a-bomb was exploded. We have all become a little more calloused, a little more hardboiled, a little more weary than in those breathtaking days when the war was just over in 1945. But the ideas set forth at that time probably apply just as much as ever, and with apol ogies they are reprinted here with: : ; "Sometimes it takes the abyss of pessimism and hopelessness to arouse people to new and revolutionary measures. "The. atom is a revolution ary weapon, the most revo lutionary in all history. It needs revolutionary diploma- cy lo cambat it. Old-fashioned talks between three or four diplomats, who sit for a few days around a green baize lable and then issue brief communiques to the public aimed to cover up what Ihey didn't accomplish, will not cure the gnawing suspicion, the selfish ambition, the lust for power that breeds war. "Only diplomacy of "the most revolutionary kind, based upon the sermon on the mount can counteract the revolutionary weapon of the atom bomb. Many of us have forgotten that Christ was a revolutionary. Somteimes the world has forgot ten this just as woefully and completely as it has forgotten the principles which he taught. "At the time Christ was born, a much higher .standard of moral ethics existed than there is in the world today, and the pro phets of Israel had repeatedly warned their people that if they did not live up to those standards they would be dis- troyed. "Later Jesus epitomized all this teaching and brought forth the highest expression of moral and ethical standards' ever given to man, in the Sermon on the Mount. "Now, 2,000 years later, in the heart of Christian Europe, where more professed Chris tians lvie than any place else on the globe, people have virtually destroyed themselves with a war of their own making. They chose to disregard the teach ings to which they gave lip . service. - "In the United States a scientific capsule has been given rnan which offers the world two distinct and definite alternatives: "1. We can get into another war and see the globe made into a ball of fire by the hand of man himself; or "2. We can use practical Christianity lo prevent war, and by harnessing the. energy of the atom, make the world a vjirtual garden of eden. ACROSS 1. Vegetable 4. Oriental wagon I. Old French coin 12.

"The problem is immediate and urgent. We have to decide now whether we are going to fight for peace just as vigor ously as we fought for war, or whether we are going to drift which eventually means a nother war. "We have got to make up our minds whether we are going back to the basic teachings of the man who was born 2,000 years ago and whether we are going to carry them out mili tantly as militantly as connoted by the hymn, 'Onward, Christian Soldiers'. . . . , v "Congress doesn't seem to realize that the time to head off war is long before it starts. And if they would spend a fraction as much money harrowing the international ground, for peact as they paid for the weapons of war, then the next generation could live in security. "No good businessman would ever think of neglecting ' his advertising ' or of hiring poor salesmen to make the rounds of customers. He would go out of business in no time. But we as a nation fail to apply the same good business practice in regard to the most sacred thing in our possession the lives of the next generation. We select diplomats for political reasons, or because they have enough private cash to live abroad on the miserly salaries we pay them; and we fail to give them an advertising campaign to supplement their work. ' - "This may not sound much like rebigion. Bui lo be relig ion is a question of doing, not merely having faith. As I understand Christ's leaching it is a doctrine of going out and administering lo others, and if necessary, rowing with money-changers and ' driving Ihem out of the temple. "Christ was. a man who went out and worked at his religion. He didn't stay in one place. He didn't hide his candlestick un der a bushel. He battled so hard for his cause of peace on earth, good will toward men, that eventually he sacrificed his life. "He had what he thought was a great idea and he thaveled day and night trying to sell it "Now we in this country have a great form of government and a great basic concept of getting along with our neighbors. And it's time we went out as Christ did and tried to sell our. Ameri can rebigion.
