DON MAYNARD Sports Editor ... - ZANE BOBBINS For This Issue: Night News Editor, Andy Taylor Sports, Jack Claiborne 0 I I 1 II Up To The Council The Student Council will meet Monday evening to decide whether the academic requirement clause in the new elec tions law-is constitutional. We do not wish to influence the Council one way or the other in making its decision. We feel it is one which Council members should decide without outside pressure. But it seems necessary that the Council be made aware of some of the facts and theories involved in the case. The elections law, which requires that a candidate main tain a C average over three quarters, is definitely not ex post facto.. Ex post facto, which amounts to punishment for an act which was not prohibited at the time it was committed, applies only in criminal law. But Attorney-General Dick Murphy and Student Council member Bob Evans, among others, believe the law is ex post facto in spirit and principle". They are right. And it is up to the Council to decide whether that spirit in the law is grounds enough for declaring the law void. It seems unfair to set requirments for office which are im possible to meet for a number of people impossible to meet bacause of the time element alone. It is obviouslv unfair for the Legislature not to have made sure the law would not go into effect until all office-seekers would have time to learn of the requirements and then meet them. To impose such un meetable requirements right in the middle pf nomination time is rather absurd. .. Most of the major candidates who have been disqualified under the new law will probably not run even if the law is thrown off the books. So the pressure, to void the measure will not be coming from that direction. But the Student Coun cil should look at the law carefully and ask itself the follow ing question: Is the law fair and in accord with the spirit of the Constitution? As to the merits of the law itself, there is no argument. The academic standards set are nothing more than common sense for any person intending to hold a public office. But the time element involved in the case has resulted in some unfair treatment to some very fine people. CH The Durham Sun Those Primary Highways Governor Scott, it appears, is aghast at the condition of North Carolina's primary roads. It, will take, we are told, more than 300 million dollars to put them back in shape. It is unfbrtunate the Governor did not think of that two years ago when he fathered the bill which increased truck' loads in fNorth Carolina. If the Governor .really is concerned about the primary road system and about the expense of its maintenance, he will throw his weight behind the current movement to roll back those truck weights. By so doing, he may save a hundred million of that an ticipated 300 millions by the single achievement of avoiding the necessity for making the primary roads thicker and stronger, hence probably a third more costly. In addition, he will save other millions in future maintenance. It is true that the trucking industry is asserting that it pays lor every third mile of highway laid by North Carolina. We doubt the accuracy of that claim; but, if it were so, the trucks are damaging the public's two miles as well as their own one. Indeed, it seems likely that, if the truckers were paying one third of the cost of construction and maintenance of our high ways, they would take better care of them. on the. 'Carolina ;Sr, FRONT by Chuck Hauser. Salute of the Week goes to the Carolina Playmakers, who have been quietly and with no publicity sending large blocks to tickets to the Dean of Stu dents office to be handed out free to students who would like to see the plays but who don't feel they can afford to spend their money on luxuries like show-going. The Playmaker business office contributed a block of 50 or 60 tickets for its current show, The Druid Circle, and did the same thing for The Madwoman of Chaillot. The passes, on which the Play maker organization had to pay full federal amusement taxes, w.ere distributed to self-help and other needy students through Assistant Dean of Stu dents Bill Friday. Heretofore unpublished in formation on the Curve Inn story: , At the meeting of the Board of Alderman Monday evening. Alderman Ken Putnam moved to give Bob and Joe Graham an extension until July 1 on enforcement of the ' law pro hibiting them from serving beer to cars outside their building. The reason for the extension was not enough warning giv en to the boys of the effects of the law. x - The six aldermen split on the question. " Voting with Putnam for the extension of time were P. L. Burch and Robert Fow ler. Voting against the Curve Inn were Obie Davis, Bernard Fitch and Judge Hobbs. With the vote 3 to 3, the de cision rested with Mayor Ed win S. Lanier, better known to students as Director of Central Records and the Office. Registration The Mayor I'm ' -sad to re port, sided with Davis, Fitch and the Judge in voting against giving the Grahams an exten sion of time. And the Curve Inn sold its last beer at 11 o'clock Wednesday night. It didn't quite close up at 11 o'clock, however. A few beer's were consumed after that time to finish off the stock at hand, but they were handed out free by Bartender Bob, who had a couple himself the first time he's consumed anything strong er than coke while on duty. It was a sad occasion. In my room I have an Vmpty green Balentine bottle the hol low shell of the last beer to go across the counter in the Curve Inn's history. I saw the .'place born several years ' ago put of a wilderness on the east slope of Chapel Hill; I saw it die Wednesday night. No beer hall ever had a finer funeral.

Louie came down to North Carolina from the big city to get the straight dope on a forthcoming collegiate game between Caro lina and Duke. He wanted to know the odds and pre-game dope so that he could wire the syndicate and let them know who to bet on and how many points to allow. But Louie made a mistake. n He decided to. go to a sports writer of the particular area and learn about the facts. "Good evening, Mr. Sports writer, my name is Louie. I like to read your column very much Whenever I get down in the, dumps, I read you and I get a lot of laughs. I particularly lik ed the way you nominated the candidates . for the Teague Award. Not basing your nomi nation on their athletic merits but because both their names ended in Thomas and you could have two Thomases for your nomination. That was smart. Different. But what. I want to know is who is going to win the game Saturday?" "Well Louie, it's this way. Duke will win but don't sell Carolina short!" "Eh?; What's that?" "Yes, Duke will win but if Carolina comes and upsets them dim't . say I didn't warn you. Duke will win but on the other hand Carolina should -upset .them. So Duke will win if Caro lina doesn't upset them. So above all don't sell Carolina short and don't overlook the Blue Deivls either. Does that an swer your question, Louie?" . "Er, I'm not quite sure." . .. Louie, didn't know what to do so he bet on Carolina and Duke and won by a good margin. And the sports writer was right again. A certain coed named Louise was caught by the Honor Coun cil for looking at a bottle of whiskey lying on the front lawn of a fraternity house. Naturally she appealed before the board. They said: "You were caught ogling a bottle of whiskey in front of a fraternity house lawn. What have you to say for your- self?" ., . . Louise didn't feel like being expelled. She retaliated: ; " "It wasn't whiskey! It was Gordon's Dry gin!" A murmer went through the board. "She's a friend of the Presi dent," they whispered. And so let Louise go.

I'll Never Forget . . . by Wuff Newell (Miss Newell, society editor of The Daily Tar Heel last year, has bee7i a member 'of the Raleigh News and Observer society staff since her graduation from the University last June. Ed.) I'll never forget my first taste of married life. I had always sworn that I would never go to the infirmary, but at five- o'clock one Monday afternoon I suddenly found myself, suitcase and Kleenex box in hand, sitting outside Dr. Lindsay's office in the building I had promised myself never to enter. I wouldn't have broken down and gone then had it not been for Don Maynard and Chuck Hauler. Half an hour before, not be ing able to stand my coughing any longer, they had dragged me bodily from. The Daily Tar Heel oifice io the Alpha Gam house and . ordered me to pack my tilings. Now here I was, waiting patiently to learn my fate. Suddenly the voice of Dr. Lindsay pierced the hospital-like silence of the corridor, and I wearily pulled myself up from my chair. Since Don had dozed off, I left him sitting in the hall. Five minutes and a thorough examination later Dr. Lindsay called Don in and said to him, "Well, she doesn't have pneumonia." I did, he said, have a bad case of flu and should be in bed. Don agreed with him, and he continued, still talking only to Don, "Since you are a student here, she has the privilege of stay ing in the infirmary. If it's all right with you, I think she should . remain here a few days." ... I didn't mind being ignored, but at least, I thought, since I was the once about to be impi ironed, . I might have been consulted. Just then I interrupted the conversation with another coughing spell, and when I finished, Dr(. Lindsay asked me what I was tak ing for my caugh. . "Terpin hydrate codine," I gasped. ..""Good stuff," the doctor exclaimed. V; V" "See! I said triumphantly to Don, and then turned to the doctor, ;; "Hc didn't want me to take it said it was a patent medicine. , '"Oh, well," Dr. Lindsay smiled, "Just ignore him. You know how husbands are." '1l. So that was it! Dr. Lindsay thought we were married. That's ; iwhy he hadn't bothered to include me in the conversation. :Vifi My .first impulse was to correct him, but I immediately changed my mind. Since -husbands could visit their wives in the infirmary, 'f tnaybe married .lite-wouldn't be so bad. . T'; Dr. Lindsay was a little puzzled as to why I gave my address as the Alpha Gamma Delta house, but I still think to this day, that it was the daily visits he allowed me to have from Don that helped me get well enough to leave in just three days. Yep, I'm all for this marriage business especially when I'm in the infirmary. . Editor: We've been thinking of some way to thank the stud, -nt of the University of North Carolina, the people ol Chap,. and everyone else who gave us such a wonderful break in business. Our final conclusion is that the best way to thank t-v one is to write a letter to. this wonderful rag cause we .,,,, our friends will see it. The only think we would like to say is "Thanks," from the torn of our hearts, to a terrific group of people. Our only is that further on down the road of life we'll find other people like you, to know, to deal with, and to be associated with. Bob and Joe Graham The Curve Inn 'A Chape! Hill Institution7 Editor: Wednesday afternoon we paid our last visit to a Chaprl Hi!i institution of many years standing. Thursday the Curve Inn pas d from the Carolina scene. The local beer merchants can now breathe a sigh of relief, as' the students are forced to stay in town r.urr..i the spring and summer. Instead of relaxing in the vitamin-lai!(a sunshine along the Durham Road, we will be forced to spt r, 1 ,,;ir leisure hxiurs in some smoke-filled beer joint on Franklin Slit,.' The Curve Inn is being closed as the result of a recent rn-di nance passed by the Boara of Alderman which was aimed directly at h Curve Inn. No doubt the Aldermen got their orders from the Mer chants' Association of Chapel Hill and Carrboro. In fact. we'vt heard it, said that the city limits were extended just far mou-h to-get the Curve Inn. Here's a choice bit of news for the loyal Commies to work with American free enterprise enables the small business to get ahead once more. The two young men operating the Curve Inn were ,ju.:t. too successful. Since action on the part of the students seldom accomplishes anything around this town, a boycott of the local bars or a canrpu..--wide petition would be a waste of time. But here's hoping the "Curve" will reopen outside the city limits so that, once again, any time will be Tea Time at the Curve Inn. Charles E. Behrons Harrison Rarbee The Fires Of WW III7 Editor: In reply to Messrs. Don Maynard, Joe Clark, and Jack Seism I wish to state the following: The main question facing the peoples of the world is: How to prevent World War II? Without lasting peace it will be impossible to solve the Negro question n-ferred to in all of their columns. I submit that by their slanderous assertions as to the nature of Communism and its advocates, they are adding their tiny bit to the fuel that feeds the fires of World War III. Adolf Hitler is now dead and it would be well for us to ponder that he, too, in his time, raved and ranted against Communisrn-with unhappy results. I do not mean to imply that any of these gentlemen agree with Adolf Hitler on every issue. I do wish to state that race hatred, anti-Communism, and war mongering were linked together in World War II by the aggressor nations without exception and most hideously by Hitler Germany. As for the references to the mental processes of the Communists, . it must be admitted that all of us, Don Maynard, Joe Clark, Jack Seism included, fear an atomic war which will destroy our loved ones and tens of millions of others who may deserve to live more than we do. In sujh a situation no sacrifice is too great for any one of us if it helps to prevent World War III. Bill Robertson (We do not think, Mr. Robertson, that any sacrifice is too great to prevent war. Certainly we do not think that we should sacrifice our Democracy in order to prevent it. And if you claim (imt i believing thusly, ive are "warmongering," then your's is a stand that is incompatible with good sense. Ed.) nit UE U tTI I c hi i r F"f - i I "Tr, , r "' "'ViJ 1 3 ACROSS I.
