Take The Vital Step
The Coed Senate acted properly last week irr reclassify
ing the terms "social" and "house" rule. But the Senate did
n't take the step that is necessary for the best administration
of coed justice.
i
The move was an expected one As we pointed out last
week, the laxity with which the house councils are arranged
and the lack of any real feeling of responsibility for justice
by the councils made their handling of more serious breaches
of coed discipline an injustice, even though that was their
constitutional job.
The Coed Senate, under its power to make laws pertain
ing to coeds only, ruled that failure to sign out when remain
ing out all night and returning more than an hour late were
"social" rules, and not subject to house council jurisdiction.
The "social" rules are considered Campus Code offenses and
triable before the Women's Honor Council.
But the Senate, the highest coed government organization,
failed to make any mention of the fact that the house council
organization needs serious study and revampment in order
to make the handling of coed justice more just and fair. Such
action should come first from the coeds themselves, and the
Coed Senate seems to us to be the best place to get the ball
rolling.
Until such time as the house councils become effective in
their job, the administration of justice to coeds, whether it be
lor cases involving violations of "house" or 'social" rules, is
going to suffer. . , .
Good For Lenoir
These days when mounting prices begin to hit us right
where it hurts, it's encouraging to note that the meals offered
at our famous dining hall don't cost more than they did six
months ago. .
The subject for much discussion, a topic for many campus
wits to search for the proper adjective, Lenoir Hall is current
ly giving the student his best bet when it comes to decent
meals at fair prices. And more some prices have been actual
ly lowered.
This isn't a walking advertisement, but just a few words
about the trend in prices in our dining hall. You can get a bak
ed potato, some french fries, or even sweet potatoes for three
to five cents less than you could in June. The same is true of
peas and carrots or string beans.
Roast veal, grilled pork chops, baked ham, and breaded
pork chops, all cost five cents less than they used to. The basic
prices of meats from chicken to steak have not been raised
but remain the same.
All these prices and reductions are certainly helpful to stu
dents who feel now more than ever the sharp pinch in their
pockets
We thought reduction of prices was a thing of the past. So,
hat's off to Lenoir Hall for its price policy. WMD t

FRONT
by Chuck Hauser
The inside story of student sex
activity, - campus government
and faculty politics at a big mid
western state university is all
wrapped up in a new novel by
Joseph Gies which is being pub
lished by Harper today.
A Matter of Morals is the
name of the lightly written,
smooth reading book. I don't
know what school Author Gies
attended, but many things in the
story could and do happen every
day on this campus and at every
other school comparable in size
and organization.
The book "touches on jusf
about everything you're familiar
with in student life, from bod
ling on a sorority front porch to
the wrath of a regent of the
state university when the daily
student newspaper prints a story
which reflects on the reputation
of a business concern which he
controls. . ,
Among the
story are:
characters of the
Philip Slidell, ah energetic
non-fraternity man who wants
to be editor of the newspaper,
thinks he's in love with a snob-'
bish sorority girl and an over
sexed Communist at the same
time, and writes the wrong kind
of editorial to suit the faculty
controlled Publications Board.
Victor Townsend, a popular
and liberal professor who wants
to be chairman of the History
Department, has a drawn - out
affair with the department sec-
retary behind his wife's back,
and makes the wrong decision to
suit the influence-wielding Dean
of Students who could help him
get the history chair.
Along with those two heroes
of our story are a string of
characters whose prototypes are
to be seen all around you here
at Carolina.
A Matter of Morals is not the
best writing I've run across re
cently, but it's enjoyable, ( easy
reading and holds your atten
tion. If you're, not careful you'll
find that you've finished the
thing in two or three hours
without ever putting it down.
But then, I like a book like that.
The theme of the story is
principle versus expediency
conscience versus opportunism.
How Slidell and Townsend fac
ed those forks in the road and
made their decisions is the basis
for atale of the perpetual prob
lem facing members of the hu
man race.
Joseph Gies has spun a good
story with a college angle, and
Doctor Hauser recommends it
for relaxation purposes.
A lot of people at the Student
Party meeting in Graham Me
morial Monday night were sur
prised at the standing ovation
presidential nominee Bill Prince
got when he finished delivering
his acceptance speech.
They shouldn't have been.
While Prince was talking, a
piece of paper was passed
around the room urging the
"spontaneous" demonstration.

Tar Heel At Large ' y Robert Rucrk, -35
Scuttling down New York's
Fifth Avenue the other day, in
a bitter rain, the answer to
eventual Russian invasion of
this nation suddenly came to
me, together with a sharp pain
in the right eye. Both the solu
tion and the pain were induced
by the same stimulus an um
brella in the hand of a woman.
. Citizens, lear ndt outside ag
gression, for the umbrella is our
first line of defense. No bayonet,
no hand grenade, not even an .
atom bomb can beat it as an
offensive weapon in the hands
of a determined female. An um
brella needs no radar, for it un
erringly finds the target with no
especial effort on the part of its
wielder.
swingback to the olden days of
basic warfare, and is arming
herself gradually. The bones and
wires which are secreted in her
intimate apparel make her im
mune to ordinary simple .as
sault. She wears so much metal
in her costume jewelry that she
clanks like a paid-up .member
of King Arthur's Round Table.
An attempted embrace makes
an ardent fellow liable to severe
gashes from earrings, brooches
and kindred dinguses. She is
nwver without her sidearms, the
hatpin and the spike-heeled
shoe, which is a' dangerous wea
: port in itself, especially in
i crowded places. It seems to me
that she is arming secretly for
trouble, as the Russians cook up
messes of atom-powered broth
under the guise of consumer
goods.
If you have notice the preval
ence of veils on our most chic
damsels today, you will notice
that the nose-veil resembles an
oldtime knight's visor rather too
uncomfortably for. masculine
mental peace. The tout ensem
ble is disquieting visor; lance
(umbrella point); shield, or the
umbrella itself; dagger (hatpin)
armor - plating, or reinforced
underwear, and the barbed wire
she wears as jewelry. This is
more hardware store than girl.
It is the perfect weapon, in
that it seeks its own objective,
protects its pilot, is cheap to
produce and repels everything
in its path. It is as lethal as a
bayonet, and we have t trained
shock troops to handle it, since
the girls have been schooled for
generations in its use.
The fearsome thing about um
brellas approximates the awe
some aspects of a strafing plane.
You know the machine is moti
vated by manpower, but it as
sumes all, the aspects of a brain
equipped machine gone berserk:
The umbrella similarly supplies
the necessary anonymity of suc
cessful warfare. I will personal
ly guarantee that no man ever
pondered whether an umbrella
brandishing woman had legs.
It is possible that the modern
woman contemplates a full

The Editor's Mailbox
' Those 'Fightin' Words'
Editor:
Today I received in the mail a most idiotic and poorly n.cmou.
-graphed circular that purported to be from the North Caio;
Labor Youth League. Fightin' Words Ed.) The strange thins js
that it was mailed in Chapel Hill ,is supposed to be for Nrth
Carolina students, but gives a New York address and no narr.fs.
Aren't they brave? Could the local address be m .Carrbuiu ty
any chance? v
This organization starting a newspaper in N. C. for our
supposedly inert and completely stupid students. Their aim u
"the complete changing of our economy from capitalism to socialism
and eventually to Communism." Blunt, aren't they? In the pro
cess they use the Negro Question to push' their points. Whik this ;
is not to be a constructive analysis of the pamphlet, this shows that !
they are using the racial hatred to their advantage only and to i
everybody's disadvantage. Divide and Conquer!
On the front page is a section devoted to the capitalist sc ht mt
behind the Korean conflict. This is based on the emotional appeal
to those about to be drafted. :
Then there is a full page on the Jim Crow system. I an not
discussing this point except to say that this question is used hm '
to promote Communism by these frustrated misfits. All their
aches can be cured by other means in a capitalistic system.
The fourth page is headed "The Suppression of the Dukt N'
Duchess." This page I enjoyed since I didn't know why it v;,s
banned. They have some good excerpts from the mag but to
use this to spread Communism is going too far. Referring to the
banning of the magazine "It must have indeed caused embarrass
ment to demonstrate so conclusively their subservience to the t
bacco tycoons." I prefer to answer to people who are tycoons and
still maintain my personal freedom, rather than be subservient
a bunch of flunkie jackasses bred from the Moscow Mule.
Next the paper (which is an insult to a real one) attacks the
S.D.A. "a liberal anti-communistic organization," for not settlirm
the Negro question overnight. It is amusing how both a Com
munist and a non-Communist group can both be "liberal," by a
Communist's terms.
Next, four articles are culled from newspapers which seem tu
support the Communist cause. One of these is from The Daily
Tar Heel on the Martinsville case. Out of context, anything can
be distorted and the publishers of this kindergarten philosopohy are
past masters athis. Did they get permission from the writers to
reprint the articles? The one from The Daily Tar Heel was h -It
unsigned. I'm sure the writer to The Daily Tar Heel was not ad
vocating Communism, but you would think so in this poop sheet.
Then they have books you can send in for which are written
by such outstanding men as Eugene Dennis and Gus Hall. Sueh
a group as this gripes the devil in me and to allow them to send
such hogwash through the mail is an outrage. This is an abridg
ment of rights by a bunch of stupid, assinine, and ignorant idiots.
But let us remember that these freaks are dangerous to our freedom
and know how to prey on the minds of the unsuspecting. It won't
do any good to shoot a hole in their heads as they already have r,ne
there.

'A Little Red Echo?7
Karl Marx' intellectual red herrings have jumped out of the' can .
again, from present campus indications. I thought the Reds had
been Jong overdue since Austria-bound Hans raised his voice in
crimson wailings. No sooner did the "Martinsville Seven" hit the
news headlines of the Daily Worker, than I said to myself: "Donsie,
boy, here Ve go."
And sure enough. First, pinkish letters to the editor of this paper
on the case, then a special visit to St. Paul's A.M.E Church by one
William L. Patterson, a man who has nothing in his mouth except
venom for the American way of life.
And now Junius Scales' pet project, Fightin' Words, appears
on the Carolina scene with all the familiar rantings which filled
the pages of The Daily Tar Heel several years ago of Messrs.
Scales, Friedstadt and Robertson.
One letter-writer to this paper expressed himself in no uncertain
terms just what was done wrong in the rape trial of the Martins
ville Negroes. And when asked from where he obtained his "half
truth" facts, his answer was: "The Civil Rights Congress." That's
right, folks, it's on the list.
Patterson, executive secretary of the Civil Rights Congress,
himself a Negro, appeared before some 100 Chapel Hill and Carr
boro Negroes to give his views on "The Negro People and the His
toric Fight for Full Citizenship." He was to have spoken on Negro
problems, as I understand it, but nowhere in the news report
did I read anything- except, for example: "Mr. Truman is a man
taken from the sewer" and "there isn't a city in the U.S. th'at isn't
in the hands of gangsters."
I have to give the man credit. He is the only one thus far who
has had the audacity to, appear publicly and deliver his opinions
in recent months here at the University. Since Hans left, most of
the skullduggery has been underground.
And so to Scales. While Hans was here, the periodic comic
strip was entitled Tte Communist Bulletin. I received a copy of it,
maybe because Hans liked me. He liked mo because I was always
ready to listen to his nonsense. The more you learn about your op
ponent, the more callable you ute to meet his attack7;.
I haven't been "himurod" by a subscription to the 'latent fa ret-,
Fightin' Words, but there's no noe.l for it. Without reading the pub
' lication, I can till what it contain-:; half-truths and misrepresenta
tions of fact. Read the letter to the editor from Joe Clark in today's
Daily Tar Heel r.nd you will be reading what amounts to a con
tinuation of this column, or at' least what I would have written on
the subject were there more room. v
Mr. Clark, I agree, these follow-treavelers, "intellectuals," or
what have you, very much resemble a ""bunch of fiunkie jackasses
bred from the Moscow Mule." And them's "fighting words." Any
takers? . -
Editor:
Mr. Coutlakis: ,
Just as a matter of letting the readers know that it is you, rather
than I, who practices poor judgement, I would like to answer your
charges published in this paper a week ago.
You have called me a liar, saying that all the facts in my column
about the "Martinsville Seven" are fabrications.' I would like to
refer you to the court records of the case, the Martinsville police,
the attacked lady, the United States Supreme Court, "The South
eastern Report," and Governor Battle.
I realize that there is a lamentable racial discrimination in the
South but that does not interfere with the fact that these men were
convicted and executed of a crime too heinous to discuss in mixed (
company. As one judge noted, the jury would have been guilty f
a crime returning a verdict other than guilty.
As to the wife of one of the men being at.the scene of the crime
at the time of the attack, I again refer you to tlie same sources fur
proof.
I didn't see how your being in Richmond on the day of the exe
cution could possibly prepai-e you to write a truthful report on
the case unless you refer to the same sources of information that
I did and reiterate my previous statements.
It seems to me that I have heard your sentiments voiced by
groups hot likened with the American way of life. Are you. Mr.
Coutlakis, a little red echo?
