No Cousins Of Ours
"Cousin" Wayland Spruillof Bertie ; County is no cousin
of ours, thank goodness. And neither is John Kerr, Jr., a
member of the Boafd of Trustees and former speaker of the
State House of Representatives.
If we may clarify, let us quote:
Kerr, in a telegram to various members of the General
Assembly, said Monday: "In view of .the action of the Execu
tive Committee University Trustees, only way to meet situa
tion is cut out appropriation to any schools that do not follow
segregation. That has been done in Georgia and is going to
be done in South Carolina. I have amendment if you want it.
That will bring them around to some sense. People of North
Carolina are opposed to this proposition."
"Cousin" Wayland, according to a story by the Durham
Morning Herald's Raleigh bureau, "showed interest in the
wires and said he was considering introduction of legislation
that would choke off money going to any school that admits
Negroes and whites together."
In other words, these two bigots wish to see the University
appropriation in the Legislature eliminated if the courts or
the Board of Trustees rule that Negroes may come to Caro
lina. Well, the picture has changed a little since friends Spruill
anu iitu mauc hictij. aiaiciijiciiia. n xiiLiuauJiu y cs ici Uciy
the U. S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the Fed
eral District Court at Durham and remanded to it a suit
brought by Negro ' students at North Carolina College in
Durham. -This Circuit Court said that the lower court must
grant the injunction sought by the Negroes to prohibit Uni
versity officials from denying them admission to the UNC
Law School. . . -
A source close to the Legislature in Raleigh told us yester
day that "the boys are pretty much ignoring Kerr and Spruill.
I think they're just hopping on the old segregation band
wagon for some free publicity." If that's the case, we're very
happy, about it, and we hope the Legislature continues to
ignore Spruill and Kerr.
Whether the "Board of Trustees chooses to rule at its April
4th meeting that Negroes may enter the Medical, Dental and
other graduate units not provided, for them elsewhere is
beside the question. The federal government has ruled that
the University must admit Negroes to the Law School. We
will abide by that decision, and we believe all other true
North Carolinians will. rC.H.
It's Not Working
Think the Honor System's working pretty well these days?
Take another think it isn't.
Most students at Carolina understand the Honor Svstem
and think they are abiding by it. Only they don't stop to
think often enough. When they walk into' a quiz and sit
down, watch the professor leave the room, and start to work,
the great majority of students at Carolina are repulsed by
the idea of looking on someone else's paper or glancing at
"crib sheets" tucked into pockets, cuffs, or where-have-you.
But those same students are not so averse to copying a
lab drawing outside of class, or retyping a law brief, changing
just a few words here and there to avoid detection. Maybe
those students really don't realize that they are violating
the letter and the spirit of the Honor System when they do
those things.
What it will take to wipe this blot off the Honor System
is a little instrospection and some self-discipline from the
student body. If students become conscious of the fact that
their copying of themes, law briefs, lab reports, and term
papers are just as much Honor System violations as looking
on someone else's paper during an exam, then the Honor
System will begin to mean a lot more at Carolina. C.H.
The Durham Sun
Frank Graham's Job
Speculation as to the exact meaning of former Senator
Frank P. Graham's new post and the defined field of his -operations
has been setlled to a degree. The first task placed
before the persuasive North Carolinian is one difficult enough
to tax all of his capabilities in the sphere of conciliation.
As the Nation has wondered what Mr. Graham's relation
ship, within the Department of Labor would be to the De
fense Mobilizer, Charles E. Wi'lson, it develops, startlingly
enough, that Mr. Wilson is one of the targets in the move.
While Mr. Graham is defense manpower administrator within
the Labor Department, Mr Wilson, of course, has the first
and final word on manpower as the mobilization chief.
It is revealed that Frank Graham has been called into ser
vice as conciliator extraordinary; for Mr. Wilson, himself,
is at odds with Labor or, to put it the other way, Labor is at
odds with Mr. Wilson and such a situation, since it involves
the high chief of 'the whole arrangement, assuredly calls
for an emissary extraordinary.
Actually, whether it was Mr. Tobin's idea or President
Truman's, the selection of Frank Graham is something of a'
master stroke. He is gentle enough and modest enough, yet
commands sufficient respect and bears enough prestige to
approach both the sensitive and proud Mr. Wilson and the
equally volatile and angry leaders of Labor. If there is any
person who can bring the two vital forces together in the
Nation's 'time of crisis, Frank Graham is the man.
A friend of mine named Mort
King from George Washington
University (he isn't really a
friend of mine; I just steal his
( stuff now and then) told of a
- party he went to the other night
up in the nation's capital.
"Very strange sort of party,"
Mort said. "Wasn't a starving
painter or writer in the bunch.
All healthy, satisfied-looking
people."
One guy there, Mort related,
had a Parakeet named Morgan.
Another person said there
.were four different ways to
speak Greek Historic Greek,
Hellenistic Greek, Modern GreeK
and some other kind which Mort
forgot but which fits in between
there somehow.
There was one who said the
more he went to college the
more he realized how little he
knew. A girl said how much she
hated oleo, and another, fellow
told how he had to lift up a
blanket so the coroner could
look at the bodies cf four people
burned to death.
The talk covered love, mar
riage, Stalin and now good the
cheese spread was with, potato
' chips. But the best thing about
the "party was Morgan.
"Morgan," his owner said, "is
the only bald-headed Parakeet
in existence. When he was two
years old, Morgan was scalped
by an affectionate dog we had
also named Morgan (my sister
thought Morgan was a nice
name). He made a completely
bare spot on the top of Morgan's
head.
"As you probably know," "le
continued, "birds are very deli
cate animals. The bare spot was
drafty. Morgan caught cold and
nearly died. After we cured the
cold we had to figure out a way
of keeping the bird's pate pro
tected. "My girl friend knitted a lit
tle cap but it wouldn't stay on.
Every night Morgan would
knock it off. He caught another
cold and nearly died, again.
"But we pulled him through.
"We were getting tired of
pulling Morgan through.
"Then one day, in a fit of in
spiration, I brought home a box
of Dr. Scholl's corn plasters, the
little round kind, and pasted one"
on Morgan's dome. It covered
the bald spot completely. Mor
gan had a pink toupee. ..
"Of course it didn't look as
nice as the real feathers had
looked. But it gave Morgan a
distinguished air that became
him greatly. An elder-states-manish
scholarly look. We had
pulled Morgan through for the
last time, we hoped.
"But the next week my sister
was painting the room. The
fumes got into the cage and be
fore we knew it Morgan was
Jead."
"Huh?" Mort said.
"Yes," the answer came tear
fully (obviously the man had
been drinking), "Morgan was
dead."
"How about the bird you got
now?" Mort asked.
"This 'is another, bird. We
name them all Morgan. My sis
ter thinks it's a nice name,"
"Oh," Mort said, terribly let
down because he expected a
moral or something. And before
they knew it Morgan was dead.
Just like that. Bop. Bald-headed,
too. , . ;
"I also have . .a' wriitwatch,"
the bird-lover went on. "It's ,
the enly sun-burned wristwatch
I've ever seen. It happened that
the watchmaker put a magnify- .
ing glass on the face instead of
a crystal and the sun came in
and burned . it so badly I
couldn't - read the numbers..
Looked just like toast."
Fine party, though, Mort says.
Not a starving painter or artist
in the bunch. All healthy, nor
mal people.

All In A Day
by Lewis Ripps
This is the first in a series' of articles which
is based upon a survey of 90 political science
students. This survey was originated by Mr.
Thomas Aiken and Mr. Gordon Cleveland and
was carried on with the cooperation of several
members of the' Political Science Department.
It is indeed interesting to hote' the reaction
of a fairly representative group df students to
the problem of the admission of Negroes to
graduate school. Of the 90 students polled 'in
the survey, 25 would admit Negroes to grad
uate school. .
It is difficult for me to understand why such
a problem should arise. There js only one dis
tinction between the Negro and. the Caucasian.
That is the color of the skin. .'
The Negro may be just as intelligent, good
looking, industrious, honorable, well-mannered
and athletically inclined as a member of the
Caucasian race and he can live on the same
social level as the Caucasian.
Therefore, the Negro shojuld not be denied
the major factor in his social, moral, mental,
and physical development. He should not be de
nied the opportunities granted by a fair and
equal education.
It is even more difficult for me to understand
why 65 of 90 students would not be in favor
of admitting Negroes to the graduate schools. It
is difficult for me to comprehend why any col
lege student would hesitate to favor the admis
sion of Negroes to the undergraduate school:
A college student is thought to have a rea
sonable amount of intelligence and is supposed to
be the backbone of a movement towards more
liberal, government. But nevertheless, the stu
dents at Chapel Hill are innately backward when
it'eomes to displaying any kind of liberal thought
or action.
I'm tired of hearing the cry that Negroes are
afforded equal opportunities for a good educa
tion at the schools set up for them by the State.
I've been told too often that the process .of edu
cating the Southerner to accept -the Negro r as
his equal must be done in a slow, and 'cautious'
manner, And I'm growing rather impatient wait
ing for the South to accord the Negro his equa)
rights as guaranteed by the Constitution of the
United States. ' : .
I've grown up in a city which does not 'accept'
the Negro. The people 'accept' no one. The Negro
is as much a part of the city's government, edu
cation, and even culture as any other .person
residing in the tdwn. I've gone through 12 years
of school without even noticing the Negro. But
nevertheless, he was there. He sat on either
side of me in class, he went to the school ball
games with me, he sat with me at the movie,
and he shot the bull with myself and others in
the high school soda parlor hangouts.
There is no discrimination between races in
my hometown and this I attribute to one thing.
I attribute it to the fact that the Negro has
been given the equal education and other human
rights granted him by the 13th, 14th, and 15th
Amendments to our Constitution.
As one of our earlier statesmen said, "The
wealth of a nation is measured by its. capacity
to educate its people." Our nation would be
greatly enriched if it educated all of its people
equally and justly. " -;

Ignorant anti - Communists
weaken cur side. I have been
thinking more about ; that dis
cussion that took place in
Steele. ' I saw something there
that reminded me of a thing I'd
seen a long time ago, but I
couldn't figure 'out what it was.
Last weekend it came to me. It
was some of those people who
argued against Junius Scales'
and Roberston without knowing,
what they were talking about.
They reminded me of a small
boy I once knew-who cried ad
though someone had hit hircv
whenever a new food was
placed in front of him. But
when" asked why, he didn't
know; he just cried.
Princeton University did some'
research a few years ago which!
uncovered some appalling facts.jj
Eighty three percent of adult
Americans think that most Rus-
sians are members of the Com-if
munist Party. Seven out of
nine Americans don't know that
Russia produced most of the war
j materials that the Red Army
used during the last war. Sixty-
three million adult Americans
believe that all goods are public
property in Russia, that a com
plete communal system js in
force. Sixty-lour percent think
f that everyone is paid the same
'.in Russia Finally, there are
thirty-eigth million Americans
of voting age who "don't know
at all what kind of government
Russia has." "
' Something is lacking; we

A Plug For Victory Park
Editor: ' "-' .
Veterans and other students with Wives and families and with
out a high income are going to continue to come to the University.
Will these students have to continue to live in trailers ad infinitum?
My point is, Mr. Helguera-Seis, why is it not recognized that low
rent - housing1 is a necessity? The new Medical Schopl is nearly
finished. Is there low-rent housing contemplated to take care
of its married students or will they move into the Trailer Court?
When the Trailer Court and Victory Village were erected we
looked forward to a time of security to the replacement of tem
porary housing within the foreseeable future. Now we are forced
to recognize that there is no security ahead. Home-building is out
of reach for many of us. Victory Village is likely to be with us
for a long time to come.
Why can't its surroundings be landscaped, the coal piles housed,
play areas cleared for children, cic, -etc.? Why can't more houses
or apartments be built to replace the trailers and provide more
much-needed moderate-rent housing? The houses in Victory Vil
lage are comfortable and pleasant. If they are geing to be there
''for: a while' yet, , why cannot; the. general air of impermanenee be
altered and' Victory Village beebme Victory Park?,

Who's On First?
Editor:
For three years I have been attending baseball games at Emer
son Field and I've had to put up with stupid decisions on the part
of our "official scorer." I think it's time somebody made an effort
to give the job to someone who knows a little more abut the game.
Sunday morning I was reading the account of Saturday's gme
with Boston University and was disgusted to read where "a bases
empty homerun by Mike Corcoran gave Boston a 2-0 lead. . .
In the first place the bases , weren't empty as second baseman
Tucker of the Terriers was on first. In the second place Corcoran
couldn't have been awarded a homerun or even a triple since a
nice throw by rightfieldex Bud Wallace and a relay by first base
man Henning erased Tucker at the plate. Corcoran did circle the
bases and slide safely home to score about 10 feet behind Tucker.
However, to be awarded a triple with a teammate on first, a
batter must advance the base runner safely home to score!
The scorer might conceivably have given Wallace an error on
the play since hj dropped the ball but if he chose to give Corcoran
a hit it should have been only a two-base hit and not a homerun.
Let's have a little more efficiency in,the future. It's a great
game but nobody around here seems to give it much consideration.

Election Day Responsibility
Editor: : :
Open, letter to all students: -
' April 12th- Election Day! To many on campus this will be
like any other Thursday at Carolina. They might notice a few
extrd signs around withvVaguely familiar names and faces on them,
and, if they get the urge and have a spare ounce of energy, they
might amble, over arid play, a guessing game with a ballot. After
they've-made several interesting marks beside any old names
they'll df op it in the box, heave a sigh of relief, and then forget
about thewhole' regrettably Incident. Some oh campus will com
pletely ignore ' their privilege to vote, while others will be forced
by political factions to cast their ballots against their will and
better Judgement for the ."best" guys running.
' Yes, the -tittle picture I've sketched above of Election Day will
be, s it has been , in the past, a reality on April 12 if each and
' every student at : this University does not wake up to the fact
how, that it is their duty, as a member of the student body, to
..have a keen interest in the working of student government and to
vote intelligently for the people they personally feel most capable
. to lead them in all branchesexecutive, judicial, and legislative.
Here at Carolina, stuaent government gives each student an
equal opportunity to, gain invaluable experience in the political
workings of our campus community a small-scale United States
government at its best. , ,
It. is ,oniy by . setting up and working in a good governmental
organization .here, that will enable us as citizens to help make our
national government' as clean arid good. We can only accomplish
this; by" active interest here, and right now! All of us ai t- rcspon-
. sible for, the ultimate success or failure of student government.
Vote', intelligently' on ..April 12 Who knows, maybe you'll be
seeking a position in stvident government next year. You can, you
know, ',if you're Iriterested. in making it your government!
