Good Luck, Team
Good luck to the UNC basketball team as it ventures
against the Ranzino-ramming oasketeers from State tonight
in Woollen Gym.
Coach Scott's boys have made themselves a power in
Southern Conference circles of late, and they, and. every body
else, would like nothing better than to see them topple the
Wolf pack. .
Good luck, boys, and lay it to- them. ,
Hear Murrow
A speech of great interest will be that of radio commenta
for Edward R. Murrow, who talks tonight in Memorial Hall
under the sponsorship of the Carolina Forum and several
other groups.
Murrow is undoubtedly one of radio's brightest "stars."
He has made radio 'journalism a field that promises even
greater things for the future, and his revealing, but objective
newscasts have added a new respect to a field that was fast
becoming one of highly opinionated "commentators."
To those interested in journalism, Murrow's talk will be
interesting in that he is probably the leader in the new field.
To others, Murrow's observations on the present world and
national situation will be highly informative. There are few
who keep up with the news and get into its inner meanings
more than he. ,
The talk will have a tough job competing with the basket
ball game in Woollen Gym, but it will be well worth hearing.
Admission is, as usual, free.
Thanks, Dr. Marshall
The resignation of Dr. Roy Marshall as director of the
Morehead Planetarium brings forth this review of Mr. Mar
shall record here and a grateful "well done" to him for his
services.
Dr. Marshall, while he never put any premium on his
abilities, was highly successful in making the PianeLarmm
the Tar Heel institution it has already become. His efforts to
popularize the study of the heavens met with extraordinary
success. The hugh number of high school and grade school
".students who have witnessed the Planetarium shows attests
to this.
His own knowledge of astronomy and his ability to write
about the science with a clearness that the layman could
understand and grasp were the things that have iustified the
construction of the magnificent Morehead building.
As he 'goes on . to greater things in his field, The Daily Tar
Heel joins students, faculty and friends in saying "well done"
and "thanks" to Dr. Roy Marshall for his services to the
campus and the stale.
Solve Flag Problem
The troubles that the Chapel Hill Post Office is having in
trying to get its stuck flag down -from its pole perch bring
forth a few suggestions from The Daily Tar Heel.
The flag has been stuck up there for nigh on a month now.
All efforts of the post office employees and others have failed
to bring down Old Glory. They have about resigned them
selves to waiting until the bunting shreds away. Meanwhile,
a state-wide search for a steeplejack has been on for weeks,
but without any success.
Now, we recently had some troubles with flags and flag
poles, Mr. -Hogan, and maybe we can get some action on
the problem.
We have a Columnist, Bob Selig, who got himself into a
lot of verbal hot water a few "weeks back by cussing the
local armed forces reserve units for using so much fanfare in
raising our newly-acquired flag. The boys really laid into
him and the reverberations have not calmed yet. Threats of
violence and other types of mayhem have been raised. Mr.
Sclig has not given the cadets too much satisfaction.
Maybe we could hold a contest. Mr. Selig and his backers
against the ROTC corps. Surely between the two groups there
could be 3 solution found to the post office's dilemma. Pole
shinnying dynamite, prayers, columns, and vn-;ous other
means could be employed until one side or the other won out.
The winner could have some satisfaction in solving such a
perplexing problem.
Anyway, it would be a good way to let off a little editorial
"steam. - - 1 - -: - --- ?. .-.pv wt1
on the Carolina
FRONT
by Chuck- Hauser
If Dcvine Providence and The
Daily Tar Heel allow me the
time, I plan to be up in the
Dialectic Senate hall Monday
evening to hear Dean of Women
Katherine Carmichael and the
Di Senators discuss a proposal
to put a 2 a.m. curfew on all
imports. - . - -
Let's ignore for' a minute the
question of whether it is right
for visiting women;. -to -stay un
past 2 o'clock or to go to bed
at a decent hour. Now ask your
self the following question:
What business is it of this
University whether visiting
women go to bed at 2 a.m. or
whether they stay up to see
the sunrise from Battle Seat out
at Gimghoul on two consecu
tive nights every weekend they
come to Chapel Hill?
I hope that question is brought
up in the debate, because I
think the principle of the free
dom of our visitors is the most
important angle of the entire
question the Di is discussing.
Eleanor White, in a "letter to
the editor, says she ,can safely
say that she has not known over
five people in her lifetime who
she considers have true nobility
of character.
Eleanor asks how we can call
the Korean War a fight for
democracy and a fight between
Christianity and Communism
when "the majority of Amer-
icans have absolutely no con
ception of Christianity."
And Eleanor winds up with
a punch. "There must be some
thing good and noble in life
or about life," she says. "Let me
know if you run across it. I'm
wasting a lot of time searching
for it that I should be using in
study."
I've found it, Eleanor. But
then maybe I wasn't looking
for it as hard as you are. Yours
is the old problem of the forest
and the trees. Nobility and
goodness are all around you, if
you'll only ope-n youreyes while
you're doing all that strenuous
looking.
There's nobility and goodness
in a little white house on Pitts
boro Street where) lives a dimin
utive, kindly man who has
given his entire life to the serv
ice of his university, his state,
his nation, his world, and is
still giving.
There's nobility and goodness
in the hearts of the hundreds of
students who walked into Gra
ham Memorial a week or so ago
and donated a pint of their life
blood to save the lives of men
they have never known and will
never know.
I disagree with you that the
majority of Americans have no
conception of Christianity.
The majority of Americans
don't attend church every Sun
day. There are probably mil
lions of Americans who aren't
even "Easter Christians" or
"Christmas Christians."
But I firmly believe that the
majority of Americans, even
though most of them won't ad
mit it, are deeply 'religious and
do understand Christianity, each
in his own way.
Eleanor says that Billy Gra
ham "was on the right track but
he didn't go far enough to really
find the answer." Again I must
disagree.
The answer, according to Billy
Graham, is simple: Follow the
10 Commandments.
"And the amazing thing about
it is that Billy Graham's solu
tion would really work.
The sad thing about it is that
the world will never give Billy
Graham's answer a chance to
work.
But don't get completely dis
couraged, Eleanor. Things are
not as bad as you would paint
them, and please don't think
that I am one of those persons
who is afraid to face reality.
Don't waste all your time
searching for the answer. Just
sit back and find it.

The Morse Code
by Pat Morse
Three of my friends and I have decided to
pool our resources and buy a car together. At
first there was a little dissension. I like Pontiac
Catalinas, Anne favors the Olds "88," Peggy
wants a Chevrolet, and P. K. is crazy about
Cadillacs. But we've got it all ironed out now.
We're going to compromise on a Model A.
The main reason why we want a car at all
is for the purpose of taking off on weekends,
especially when the weather gets warmer. But
it would also be convenient for going to labs
in the afternoon and for taking a run but to
Curve Inn for a coke once in a while.
Actually we're not too set on the make of
car. Anything that we can pick up for under
$100 will do fine, provided the motor stays to
gether and there's seating capacity for four or
five people.
I almost bought an A-model at home this
summer. My parents started putting the pressure
on my driving their' '50 Chrysler and I had
saved up some money from an entire summer's
work (about $80.) Mother didn't approve of the
idea at all. She could hardly be classed as the
adventurous type. But Daddy thought it was a'
great idea. ,
I think he wanted me to get something that
wouldn't run so that he could tinker with it.
We surveyed thti used cSr markets from stem to
stern (or grill to exhause pipe, if you prefer) but
to little avail. I had in mind something like a
'39 Chevie convertible with four good tires' and
a rebuilt motor. But that kind of thing can't be
had for $30.
Finally I located a Model A which a friend
of mine wanted to sell. It had all the modern
conveniences. This kid is a mechanical genius.
He used to fix my bicycle in the seventh grade.
Pie had a panel rigged up on that car which
would have made Thomas Edison cringe. There
was a switch for headlights, one for inside lights,
one for a heater, and another for a radio. I think
he even had a few extra ones in case the advent
of television in automobiles really took hold.
The only . thing wrong with the car, he told
me quite frankly, wq.s the i'act that it needed
a ring job and he didn't have time? to do it,
what with working in New York every day.
Daddy got rather upset when I told him I
was planning to buy it. It seems a ring job isn't
as simple as it sounds. So right then and there,
he forbade m'i to buy a used car until I had
read a book on the mechanism of automobiles.
Well the whole experience of gaining so much,
useful knowledge all at one 3 unnerved me so
'that I had decided to wait until. I had made my
first million and could afford a chauffeur and
mechanic to go with the car I bought.
Now, however, with spring coming on and
three other idiots willing to share the respons
ibility, not to mention several volunteer would
be mechanics, I'm all for this buying a car and
the prospect of a four-wheel -d personality.
Does anyone know where we can get one
cheap?
'Lack Of Nobility'
Editor: ' V
- I have been thinking for a long time about what quality is i;,v-;.-ing"
among bludenU tmd the people of our country. Hci.tv.tt , v ,
am struck by the lack of nobility. I can safely say that 1 have ,m :
known over five people in my lifetime who I, have considered
having true nobility of character.
Even our music possesses no nobility and music reflect.-; the
moods and emotions of the people. In the classical alley fru.-.Ua-tion
is the most common characteristic expressed. Popular .i.ni;,
are facile and pleasing in a sensual manner, playing upon the men.
earthy qualities in human nature. Where is the nobility of Taen
hauser or Handel? Take the "Battle Hymn of the Kepubiu-'
" and His truth goes marching on.". That's nobility nobility
even in war.
' There is no nobility in this Korean catastrophe. It is a war
of power against power. Propagandists may try to motivate it. nobly
by calling it a fight for democracy and Christianity against Com
munism. How can we boast such a lofty motive when the majority
of Americans have absolutely no conception of Christianity.' ,o.
there is no nobility in this war. Our men aren't fighting for a cause;
'they are just so much cotton to be stuffed in the growing track
which Russia is making in world stability . . .
We are crowded to hear Billy Graham. Was anyone converted?
I doubt it; Graham only scratched the surface. He was on the right
track but he didn't go far enough to really find the answer. There
must be something good and noble somewhere in life or above
life. Let me know if you run across it. I'm waiting a lot of time
searching for it that I should be using in study.

All About The 'Martinsville 7'
Editor:
Mr. Jack W. Hopkins: -
. . . Rape and punishment for rape is not a segregation problem
and has never been. Whites and Negroes alike are subject to the
law. The woman involved was well respected in the community
and uncertainly cannot be said that she in any way invited attack.
Why don't you face the facts, Jack? Every time a Negro is con
victed of rape, murder or anything else, the uninformed, the ignor
ant, and the agitators howl racial discrimination.
. . . Please note that while the supporters of the condemned
seven Negroes were all people and organizations such as author
Howard Fast, the Congress for Civil Rights, The Union of Polish
Youth, The Daily Worker, and the Radio of the Chinese Peoples'
Government, the Martinsville seven were condemned by their own
recognized organization, The National Association for the Better
ment of Colored People.
R. C. Steele
Editor:
... It should be plain to anyone that the natural, instinctive,
sympathies of one female human being for another who faces
brutal, carnal violation should be for protection; should be the feel
ing of revulsion at being in her place; of doing everything possible
to help her. This woman of whom we are speaking did not feel the
sympathy which would certainly seem natural in such a situation.
. . . Quoting Mr. Seism, "They also left a blot on their race's
name." I would agree that we have left a blot on our name, es
pecially when we gouge and jab and barb some people into revolt
in a variety of insidious ways; and then apply the rule of law to
them with impassionate judiciousness or impassioned anger.
. . . Who is to blame? Whose race has a blot on its name? Mat
thew 7, 1-2 says: "Judge not, that ye be not judged: and with the
measure ye mete, it shaAU bemeasured unto you."

Editor:
In the morning mail I was rather amused, and slightly dis
mayed, to find an anonymous letter criticizing the one I wrote
to The Daily Tar Heel. It was so typical of the general attitude of
many people in this area ... I would like to request that any per
son who disagrees with opinions I express please be man enough
to sign his name to such letters or see me face to face, rather than
pusilanimously using the secrecy of the mails to hide either his
cowardness 01 lack of faith in what he believes ...
The task of the Negro mother must be excruciatingly difficult
when she has to answer her child's question of "why must we sit

she always reply: "Because the white folks say so?" When Negroes
rape, we should be shocked not at them, but at society; we should
punish society along with them.' Any society -which tolerates an
environment that produces evils such as ours should be punished
That's why I wonder When are we going to grow up?

CPU Roun
dtabSe
by Thomas Sumner
A j L E
With the advent of another period of mob
ilization and draft the controversial subject of
the right to conscientious objection has again
come to the fore. This topic will be the subject
of a roundtable discussion by the CPU tomorrow
at 8 p.m. in the Grail Room of Graham Memorial.
Visitors are invited. t.
When, in the judgement of its leaders, it
becomes necessary for a nation to issue a man-
datory call to arms there are some w'ho respond
affirmatively without delay. There are others
who do whatever they can do to avoid this
summons because of cowardice or for material
gain. Others will answer without enthusiasm,
going only as they must,
Another group remains, and it is this group
which is the object of the greatest controversy.
These men are those who, for moral or religious
grounds, oppose war and feel that they cannot,
condone it regardless of governmental or public
pressure.
Anyone who reads the Bible will discover
that whoever follows, it as a guide for living
must of necessity be opposed to war as a means
of settling any dispute. The question which de
velops is, then, not whether such a belief is
justified but whether it may be used as a basis
of action for a citizen of this nation.
There, are many who oppose the freedom to
act in such a manner on the grounds that in
sincerity is a prevalent attitude among those
who profess. such beliefs. How many people will
allow themselves to be repeatedly the object of
slanderous and even physical attack to support
a principal to which they do not subscribe?
Some decline to serve in any capacity which
may aid the efforts of a nation in combat while
others willingly serve as messengers of mercy
on thevery battlefields they oppose. How many
will refuse weapons with which to defend them
selves for the sake of an ideal they do not be
lieve? Among the opponents of th.3 right to object
to service in 5 the military perhaps the most
vociferous are those who do not entertain such
ideals, since they intend to - enter combat them
selves, want none spared the same danger re
gardless of reason. To those who fesl 'that a
widespread movement toward pacifism would
bring destruction on its followers and their asso
ciates I recommend a study of the lives and the
events following the deaths of Jesus of Nazareth
and Mohandas Ghandi. They will be remembered
and revered after the warriors are forgotten.
However, the question .which faces the na
tion is not whether this belief is right or wrong,
but whether men are to be allowed to live as
they believe. The issue that faces each individual
squarely is whether or not he wishes to see
another of his cherished freedoms dashed on
the rocks of military exigency,---.- -
