For This Issue: Night Editor, Andy Taylor Sports. ake The 'C Out In looking over the work some organizations have done during the past year, we notice some which haven't lived up to their promises, some which haven't followed any plan and some .which, as far as we can tell, should either change their name or get to work doing something which will be representative of their names. Such an organization is the Young Men's Christian Association the YMCA. In looking at the program the YMCA has put on this year, we can find little, in fact, almost nothing which in any manner of speaking puts any emphasis on the "C" in the initials of this group. It seems to us that the YMCA should be working toward bringing Christianity onto the campus and helping the ones of us who don't know enough about religion to come to a fuller knowledge. To the average student, the "Y" is a place to get coffee and cokes and does n't have anything to do with Christianity. . We are not in favor of doing away with the Book Ex, but we are in favor of the YMCA living up to its name. It has been said that the YMCA is a poor man's APO, that it allows those boys who weren't able to be Boy Scouts to take part in a program that follows along the same lines as their more fortunate fellow students who were Boy Scouts. If this is the type of program the YMCA is going to follow, why doesn't it change its name to the Young Men's Welfare Association? It wouldn't be misleading the campus and it could continue to operate as it is now. 1 The Daily Princetonian Next Victim Television's newest and greatest sideshow, the Senat !j Crime Investigation Committee hearings from Foley Square throw the new medium into the rather dubious realm ol public investigation. Just as long, however, as we can con t'nip to watch our favorite comic characters on the witness stand (and occasionally on the other side of the rostrum, too) TV's new departure from the usual fare meets wit! our approval. But now, by the way of the latest issue of Editor and Pub lisher, comes an inkling of the final flourish of television promotion men. New York Commissioner of Correction' John A. Lyons revealed to a representative of Internationa! News Photos, who was inquiring about taking pictures, oi the electrocution of "Lonely Heart killers" at Sing Sing early this month, that one station had requested permission to televise the couple's last gasps. Needless to say, the request was turned down and the public spared, but the thoughi still haunts our blacker hours in this overcast midterm week , Puh-leeze, Mr TV station managers, have a heart. We don't mind the details of the latest evasive testimony, wc might be even able to bear television scenes of trials bu' executions is just one step too far. It's times like these wheij we're tempted to turn in our Video Ranger button. Ve hope television quits while it's still ahead. ACROSS 1. Division of & drama . 4. Poem 7. Break into pieces 12.

No. he's not William- Richard son Davie. Davie is the founder of the University, and earned that distinction by introducing into the State Legislature on Nov. 12, 1709, a successful bill tc charter the first state university in the nation. But the first movement to found UNC was started five years before. On. Nov. 8, 178-i, a bill written by Rev. Samuel Eusebius McCorkle, with the help of Judge Spruce Macay, was thrown on the floor of the Legislature, That law, whici would have chartered the Uni versity, failed at the hands of an Anti-Federalist majority arid in a period of severe financial stringency for North Carolina. Samuel McCorkle was a Pres byterian minister who was born in Lancaster, Pa., but was rear ed near Salisbury; .in the Heart of the Old North State. He was educated at Princeton and in the classical school directed by Dr. David Caldwell of Guilford County. Dr. McCorkle was deprived of being the founder of his state university, but when Davie's bill "chartering UNC was passed, the good Scotchman was named to the first Board of Trustees of the embryo institution. As a Trustee, Dr. McCorkle served on a committee to pro cure information on how other colleges and universities in the nation were being run, and to formulate plans for Carolina. The popular preacher was also in the group which- approved and recommended to the Board of Trustees the selection of Chapel Hill as the site of the new school, after it had been chosen by Frederick Hargett's commit tee (of which Davie, contrary to , legend, was not even a mem ber!). Samuel McCorkle was chair man of the Trustee committee which drew up the first four year curriculum for the Univer sity. Kemp Plummer Battle, the eminent historian, commented that McCorkle---"drew ' up a scheme for the more practical, instruction which all institu tions of hjgher learning at the present day have to a greater or less extent adopted." Reverend McCorkle also wrote the first set of regulations and by-laws of the new University of North Carolina, including one rule which ordered "Students required to cleanse their beds and rooms of bugs every two weeks." , On October 12, 1793,' the cornerstone of East Building, now known as Old East, was laid by Davie. But the man who made the only address on that historic occasion was Samuel Eusebius McCorkle. "May this hill be for religion as the ancient hill of Zion," Dr. McCorkle prayed that day, "and for litera ture and the muses, may it sur pass the ancient Parnassus." Early in 1794 Founder Davie was instrumental in seeing that Father McCorkle was not ap pointed Presiding Professor of the University, a post equivalent to President. Apparently Davie did not trust McCorklc's execu tive ability, although he respect ed him as a teacher. And early in 1795, Dr. McCorkle again was bypassed when the Trustees were looking for a President. This time it was a matter of dif ferences over financial matters. I guess I should explain my interest in Samuel McCorkle. According to the reasoning of historian - mathematician - bio -grapher Archibald Henderson, I am the grent-great-grcat-grand-son of that worthy gentleman. I've tried to trace the relation ship, but a missing generation has prevented me from complet ing my figuring. However, I'll continue to claim the old boy until someone brings me proof that I shouldn't. Samuel McCorkle has been sadly neglected here at the Uni versity Davie lias a building and a tree and his pitcure in the mural on the west wall of the post office. - One thing on campus has been named alter Reverend Mc Corkle. The great: open triangle on the north end of the campus containing the Davie Poplar, the Caldwell Obelisk, the. Old Well and the onfederate Soldier is named "McCorkle Place," but" you'd have to look for a long time to discover a student who realizes it. ii But First A Few Words From Our Sponsors . . . j ,r. " q .i.il,. "'i.-f, Rolling Stones by Don Maynard Joe College, the guy who lives in a dormitory, has had it ; Tuesday afternoon, a ruling was handed down lnm; Building to. the effect that women visitors will not be p i r in the men's dormitory social rooms except on "special ;,.. The argument was and I have to hand it to the folks in -for it was another ingenious stall that there were not 'at!, facilities and star!" for men's dorms to have coeds, or any for that matter, visiting in the social rooms. - .By that does the administration mean a special policon. every entrance and window? No, says Dean of Students Fred Weaver, "adequate" something similar to the facilities, and staff that are in the v.vr: dorms. But there are no such facilities and staff furnished for v.,,; fri.ternity house visitors. A simple slip of paper agreed u;. most of the campus fraternities is the only "chaperone" iv;.: ment for the overseeing of fraternity house social activities As I understand it, the social rooms were installed in the d, , tories for one purpose: to enable women to easily, without embarrassment or inconvenience, visit their menfolk in respi i surroundings. That is to say, the male's home at Carolir, dormitory. Back in the days when there were manj; in school and 11 men to a room was considered a luxury, the argument put by the administration was "but the social rooms are needed housing right now to accomodate those men who otherwise v.(.i not have dormitory facilities." And now, with the drop in male enrollment, and plans ;di .;, laid for reconversion to two men to a room in some dorm:-., 1 administration says, "Boys, we can't trust you with those v.i.n alone in a social room." However, Dean Weaver points out, there would be no objedi to having women visit drms on "special .occasions." Could i: be interpreted to mean that men dormitories will be open to v. ne, on every "big dance" weekend? tor THE tSH,J6roi TOS-r cl I doubt it. I doubt that any agreement will be reached betv.o i, Interdormitory Council representatives and the administnaiHi. Protect the female from the wiles of the male student seem- v, be the clarion call. Well, then, let's prohibit parking ot;l. . women's dorms and unchaperoned sitting in the small p.iiln: located inside the women's dormitories. What's the objection? Search me, I can't see it. It appears 1h;,i those fortunate male students with automobiles shall be loiet, to continue their courtship parked at night, sans the more h. ;dth environment of a clean, orderly and respectable social room. The Editor's Mailbox Clampitt Says He's Not Running .Editor: I wish to inform columnist Jack Lackey and other interested stu dents that I will not be a candidate i"or the office of president of the student body. A consideration of the qualifications of candidate Ben James along with "an examination of his objectives has con vinced me that my candidacy is unnecessary. Bob Clampitt Robertson Says Sign The Petition Editor: I welcome the approach of Mr. Selig, in his latest column, to the question of understanding' scientific Communism in general and the Soviet Union in particular. It is quite true that, in our country, there is an appalling lack of information plus considerable mis information on these matters. I shall not go into the reasons for this state of affairs. I shall only state, in passing, that in Hitler Germany, such lack of information plus misinformation was not the fault of the Soviet Union. As regards Hitler's unhappy fate it has happened more than once that liars have become entangled in their own webs of lies ... . Here is my proposal. In order that Bob Selig, ;.Bill Robertson, and the rest of the fellows at Steele Dormitory may be able to continue their discussion, let us, first of all, sign the new petition for a FIVE-POWER PACT OF PEACE between the United States, .Britain, France, China, and the Soviet Union. Such a petition by hundreds of millions of people throughout the world can create the most fruitful conditions for further discussion. For, once PEACE is assured, we ;can then proceed to discuss everything, under the sun, and to regain' that old' faith in the goodness and intelligence of man wrhich se many of us seem to have lost. .

It's your maga zine, but you don't" care. It's our job to put a good humor maga zine together but we can't do it without YOU. . You, the student body, haye time to criticize Tarnation, but p: 'you never take that time to put your criticism on paper and let e us C2 it. You sit on your cans and complain about what a v lousy excuse for a magazine we have but you haven't got the v "guts," the get up and go, to do ; anything about it. ;l Well, you are ;oing to have a chance to do something about it now. Opportunity knocks but once and thii is it. This is the last is.'ue of Tarnation for some time to come urn! together we can get a hell of a good look out. Without you. the book will be just as the rest have been. I want every student on this campus to send anything -that he or she thinks in worth print ing co Tarnation, Graham Me morial. If you have something that you don't think is worth printing, send it anyway. We will decide; that's our job. T "want stories, jokes, pictures, poems, cartoons and ideas for any of these things. I want clean copy, dirty copy, funny copy and serious copy. i Anything that can be written on paper, I want. If it is to hot for the postman to handle, then .bring it down to the office your self. You can't bring me more "eopy than I want. Tarnation of fice is conveniently located next to the men's room and acros. ithe hall from the Rendezvous Room in GM: If you are sure you cannot write, then put your ideas on a piece of paper in Sanskrit and we will write ihem. It is for you that we are try ing to put out a good magazine. As fur as I am concerned it would be a lot easier to simply throw something together and give it to you. The whole, thing is going to mean a lot more, work for us. We can put the stuff together and put out the best book you ltave seen, but we have to have the material to put together first. If I had enough imagination to vrite the jokes and funny stories to fill 64 pages all by my lonesome, I wouldn't be sitting in school right now; I'd own my own school.
