It should be a signal to all good party folks to pitch in and lend a hand. As has , been said here before, the area is a natural for warm weather recreational activity, and has been too long neglected in favor of places that are not half as good. Alpha Phi Oemg-a, the campus' jack-of -all-jobs organiza tion, is handling the arrangements for the cleanup. It has, with its usual fineness, organized well for the cleanup with', several other organizations helping out. On tap is a picnic for those who participate. The Battle Park area can become a recreational area of great worth. This weekend's cleanup campaign is the first step in its revamp'ment and return to the place of importance it once held. Students should realize the lasting worth of the work that will go on this weekend, and pitch in the help. And you can get in on a party at the same time!' Good For Sue That all to-rare animal the coed in top campus office has come to the front recently with the double-nomination of Sue Lindsey for editor of the Yackety-Yack. ; Miss Lindsey, an old hand at yearbook editing, should make a success of the venture which she will undertake. The Yack is a Carolina tradition, and it Jias always been a credit to that tradition . The Daily Tar Heel extends its heartiest congratulations and best wishes to our journalistic sister in her soon-to-come job. There should be more folks of Miss Lindsey's sex be coming integral members of campus extracurricular activity. Old, Old Story With spring coming on, The Daily Tar Heel is going to break out an old editorial theme. But we aren't going to write much on it. What we have to say is keep off the grass. You know what we mean. This campus would look like a baked plain if it wasn't for the green stuff that springs in the spring. And it doesn't help much for folks to gambol about on the shoots. They don't get this growing to well if such stuff is practiced. So, how about it, Students, stay on those nice, red unmuddy brick walks. That is all we will have to say about the grass, a subject that has been editorial gravy since first students stepped upon the campus green. The Campus Chest Is Your One Drive Lend Your Support!

Menu mm .'on the Carolina FRONT by Chuck Hauser It seems rather amazing to me that Bill Prince, who is Stu dent Party floor-leader in the Student Legislature, didn't know that he was ineligible to run under the provisions of the new elections law which was ap proved by the Student Legisla ture last Thursday. At party floorleader, if no one else, is supposed to know what is in the bills which go on the floor of the Legislature. Or pos-, sibly Prince actually had no idea his grades were too low to meet the requirements of the bill. The story of the passing of the Curve Inn is a sad one to re late. The old place was given a humdinger of a funeral yester day while the Graham boys, Bob and Joe, sold the ' last of their beer stock and closed up shop. Here's the story, as I get it from the official records and my sources: Last summer, the Board of Al dermen extended the city limits of Chapel Hill to a point just below the Curve Inn on the Dur ham Road. Actually, however, due to the curving of the road just below the beer-selling es tablishment, the city line ran directly through the Curve Inn property on a parallel line with the road as it passes the front of the place. The popular patio in back and much; of the back parking lot is outside the line, On Oct. 9, 1950, the Aldermen passed a city ordinance requir ing that beer sold by any licens ed place within the city limits . must be consumed inside the building where it is sold. Last Saturday, which was Feb. 24 or approximately four and a half months after the ordinance was passed, Chief of Police W. T. Sloan drove out to the Curve Inn about 5 o'clock in the after noon, eruised around, looked around, and went back to town. Fifteen minutes later he called up and told the Grahams of the ordinance and its effect: They could no longer sell beer to per sons in cars outside their build ing. . That's the story in a nutshell. The city limits were extended in the summer, "the beer con sumption ordinance passed in the fall, and the, law first en forced at the end of the winter. Business dropped .off immedi ately. But suggestions poured in to help the Graham brothers out of their plight. "Throw a big par ty, one helpful student propos ed, and then get 'everyone there to push the building to the back of the lot and thus out of the city limits. Sell beer unopened to be car ried across the line, there open ed, and consumed in the patio or in the back part of the park ing area, was another idea ad vanced. But the Grahams got tipped off that if enforcement of the ordinance failed to stop their business, a petition from people living nearby branding the Curve ' Inn a public nuisance would bring an immediate re vocation of their beer license by the ABC Board in Raleigh. They got it going and coming. Nobody seems to know why the law hadn't been enforced up until l?fst Saturday. The po lice say they have just recently gotten complaints from towns people living near the Curve Inn of noise and disturbances there. ' Of course, it could just be that ' the recent spring, weather has hit the uptown beer merchants a little harder than they can "take. ' " THIS 15 AM ODP ONJ.. PROBABLY ) f 5HOULPN T THfc AIR.

There has' -been a lot of talk recently about needed improvements in the or- : ganization of the Honor Councils and in the methods of selecting . Council members. The implica More From The Editors AAailbox Root Of Our Problem Editor: I regret that my recent letter to you received such rough treatment with the blue pencil. As a matter of fact, J scarcely recognized it as the same one I wrote; To attem.pt to convince readers that I was sober at its writing, I concisely summarize here what it was suposed to say before it was chopped into near meaninglessness. ' 1. I retract previous statements (written in anger and disgust) concerning the uncertain evidence and involuntary confessions in the Martinsville case. Frankly, I'm not sure. Are the Critics? 2. Capital punishment for rape in Virginia and most of the South has been notoriusly restricted to Negroes. That is not justice as I see it. ' s - 3. Seism's column was supsrficial analysis disregarding social conditions and environmental deterinants of personality. Please don't let's be like the inspector in Les Miserables law without justice and impartiality is a crusl mockery of decency and dem ocracy. 4. A frustrating environment is the primary cause of high crime rates among Negroes. Who is to blame? Who puts these Negroes in a status of second-class citizenship? You answer it. 5. I propose again, and . I intend to continue to do so. that we work at the roots of our problems ourselves. (5. Mosty Southerners now remind me of a bunch of children with an inferiority complex, afraid to compete on an equal basis with other races. When our physieally grown-up people become also mentally adult, I will be glad to change this opinion. When the South deserves it, I will be glad to offei congratulations and praise. I quote a piece trom Robinson Jeffers for your thought "Praise life, it deserves praise, but the praise of life that forgets the pain is a pebble rattled in a dry gourd." ' Jack W. Hopkins ' . , tion seems to be that changes are needed to improve the op eration of the Honor System. Something is wrong with it, .but the trouble is not basically with the Honor Councils.

J bership of this University. That includes both the students, the faculty, and the administration. It is discouraging for anyone who has known of a great past Carolina. way of life to look at the present situation. In former years there was a good deal of talk about the "Carolina Spirit". When people talked about it they were not referring to the quality of cheer ing at football games. They re ferred to the emphasis on honor "and decency displayed by stu dents, faculty, and administra tion. Where is that emphasis now? Some Carolina students now have the colossal assininity to brag about having cheated. Some Carolina teachers have the contempt for students to in sist that they sit in alternate seats during a quiz while the teacher sits glowering at an affidavit from an infirmary doc tor before it will accept a stu dents word that he was sick.' The wittier professors used to like to say that the school had the honor and the students had the system. They could joke about it fbecause they knew it wasn't true. Today it seems that the school has the system and some of the students have the honor. The Honor System has degen erated. It started to fall when ' the first member of the faculty or the administration decided that a student's word could not be trusted. When that started to happen the students began to lose their faith in the import ance of honor. Let's not harp on the physical ?et up, of the Honor Councils. Tint is not where the trouble lie;-. It .rests with all of us. If we are to, have another half century of the Honor System at Carolina we must have a greater respect for each other's integrity. We must have nothing but contempt for those who do not believe in the "Carolina Spirit". DOlsTT LET THAT DISCOURAGE TUU, DtARIL.

Tues day evening that threatens to be the surprise hit of the season The Druid Circle. , Although the cast was mon opolized by newcomers, it was one of the strongest and most versatile to walk across the boards in some time. Earl Wynn turned in a superb job of acting as the frustrated professor of a small provincial college in Eng land near the border Of Whales. Josephina Niggli, another old time Playmaker, was excellent as his quarrelsome old mother. Since it is the. only seriously realistic major production of the season, The Druid Circle is a welcome change from V the "dream - world dramas" . the Playmakers have done up until now. After a comparatively slow first act, the show picked up quickly and held its pace un til the final curtain. Departing from his usual theme of comedies, such as Voice of the Turtle arid I Re member Mama, John van Dru ten has written a simple, but deeply moving play concerning a frustrated professor's hatred, of the eternal youth that forever surrounds him and reminds him of all the things in life he has wanted, but missed. An early unhappy marriage, a nagging mother, and approaching old age serve as sharp contrasts to what he desires love, freedom, and youth. His bitterness manifests itseir ACROSS 1. Imprint with 32.
