ANDY TAYLOR Associate Editor WALT DEAR Sports Editor - - - ZANE BOBBINS For This Issue:. Night Editor.-Kolfe Neill Today s Elections The town of Chapel Hill is holding elections today. In cumbent Edwin Lanier, is seeking the Mayoralty unopposed. Lanier has served for the last two years in two jobs, holding up the Central Records office for the University while serv ing as Mayor. Six men, some of them professors in the University, are seeking three seats on the Board of Aldermen. In addition, Paul Robertson and William Stewart are seeking the judge ship of the local Recorder's Court,-where students are tried each week for traffic violations. The University and the town are inextricably bound up together in today's elections. Many of those in town govern ment also hold posts with the University. But the govern ment of the town effects students in more direct ways than that. Right now, the only direct voice students may exercise in town government is through petition. Students petitioned the Board of Aldermen to allow the Curve Inn to continue in business, without success. Last year, they successfully petitioned for unrestricted parking on South Columbia street. When students park illegally on or off campus, they are given tickets by town authorities. Students pay many hund reds of dollars annually into the town coffers through indirect taxes. They help pave Chapel Hill streets through the gas oline tax. A part of what they pay in sales taxes comes back to the town. Those who own dogs pay the town for the priv ilege of keeping them. Students have a stake in the town where they are in res idence for nine months of the year. And the town has a stake in the students which in large measure support it, for with out the University, the town would yet be a small village, or perhaps non-existent. Chapel Hill presents an unusual situation in college- mu nicipal relations. There is no chicken-or-egg question here. The University was established first, and the town grew around it. Most students cannot vote. Only those who are over 21, and in residence in town may exercise the ballot today. We urge every student who is registered to go to the polls today. Rackets Governor Scott reminded the people of this state that "gambling, whiskey and racket interests are getting a hold on the political life of North Carolina," in an address to the Men's Faculty Club here. Governor Scott's reminder was intended to offset any undue feeling of security stemming from the fact that North Carolina was not among the areas singled ouut for investi gation by the renowned Kefauver committee. But he was also referring to the apparent inability or un willingness of the recent legislature to pass laws affecting the dog tracks, affecting stream pollution, affecting organized gambbling, narcotics, and illegal whiskey control. Along this line of thought, we direct the attention of the local citizenry to the thriving Butter and Eggs racket in Chapel Hill and Carrboro. SENIORS Get Your Tickets To Senior Class Picnic TODAY!

Even back in cave men times, untamed savage-like fellows used to fight over all sorts of things. Tracing the history of Europe, all you find is a series of scourging wars, and as each century passed, the world got into bigger and more complex situations. Needless to . even mention the complicated state of affairs today. And you know, after thinking about it, you suddenly come to realize that the whole trouble stems from persons' attitude to wards things, like -attitude to wards other folks' races and re ligions and living accomoda tions and even places where folks live. It was purely a mat ter of attitude which prompted Ken Wright to write that rather disgusting letter. It was just atti tude that prompted that warped minded foursome to set Ameri cans on a pedestal and let the rest of the world go to the dogs. It's just attitude towards life and towards personal desire that creates the two great dividing philosophies of life today which if they clash threaten our exist ence. And after grasping this reali zation of attitude as the determ ining factor in life's problems, we can look deeper, and if we do, we will see that one of the great effectors of persons' atti tude towards most everything is a little, soft-spoken, under standing person we call Mother. The. trouble is that we usually only follow her advice when we're small, ignorant, carefree children and when we grow up, enter the University, set out on our life's career, we set her way back in the background so she can be seen, but not heard. And that's just about where the world's great complex problems have their beginning. It's when we rely on our own intellect, derived from all sorts of books on history and science, on psychology and politics, on boundary lines and distinct ra cial differences it's then that our attitudes towards things be come tangled up in materialistic jig-jags, and it's then that we lose the simple insights of sin cere guidance that this little soft-spoken and usually under standing lady tried to teach us. When we do wrong as child ren, she shows us the right way. When we become frustrated, she assures us that things aren't so bad. When we become embar rassed, she smooths the situation down and makes us feel better. But when these stuffed-up minds grow in our imagination, when we're sure we can solve the intricacies that we're faced with, when we fail to hear that soft voice which has stood the test for being qualified to guide us, it's then that the names are called, the bombs are dropped, the guns sound their alarm, and our attitudes turn into white crosses on sandy shores, line in line. If we might realize that per haps the same little old lady that told us "no" when we were young is still able and qualified to say "no Ken, that's not right" or "I'm sorry Joseph, but you , just can't go without God very far." " Perhaps then, if we as a people would listen, if we would hear that still, small voice in the wilderness tell us that essential ly folks are all the same, that they all have mothers and dads who want them to be decent sons and daughters . . . perhaps this race of men, this group of two billions of people on this down-trodden earth might know the way, might fee the light of the world reflected in the golden heart of a golden person. Mother. Iet's not forget her, 'cause I don't think she over forgets us. On Campus A false alarm turned in for Spencer Dormitory last night cost the town of Chapel Hill close to $50. Would the joker who turned in the alarm care to make a donation? Aside from wear and tear on the fire department, worry to the residents and housemoth er, it caused considerable havoc, Cosmopolitan "This is not just interesting. It is important." This was President Gray's comment on the Open House held by the Cosmopolitan Club for mem bers of the administration and faculty in the Rendezvous Room on Sunday afternoon. The affair was aatended by over 200 people, including President Gray, Chancellor House, Dean Carmichael and Dean Weaver. Members of the Club wore their national dresses, which added color and gaity to the scene. Displays of arts, crafts and produuets of various countri ewsere a source of interest and admir ation to the visitors. The countries represented were France, Germany, Luxembourg, Japan, the Philippines, India, Iran, Chile and Peru. The fabrics and silverwork from India and Peru, and the bamboo and lacquerwork from Japan won admiring comments. The Japanese students amazed the crowd by their lightning calculations on their calculating machines. These are little frames called soroban, which are rather like the brames of beads on which American children learn to count in the nursery. There was nothing childish about the per formance of Sigeiti Moriguti as he did multiple Reaction-Sensitivity Definitions: , Mouse . . . one studying to be a rat. ! Man . . . one studying to be either a mouse or a rat. Psychology . . . science of pulling habits out of a rat. "What do you know about running mazes?" a .rat (imaginary or otherwise) asked me Tuesday as I was strolling by New West. Not being one who must know one's station and genealogy before conversing, I responded with a question, "Why do you ask, my good friend?" (As those of us who know little know: A counterattack is an excellent defense. Against vhat? Your boner-of -contention proves the point.) "Oh, I ran through your maze this morning." "So what?" I answered. "It was entiled Psychology and it didn't make sense. Brother-rat, we have enough charlatans in our camp already without your adding to the confusion. Psychology is a science." "You are right. The article of which you speak left me labeled Reaction-Sensitivity." "I see," he said as he twirled his whiskers, "then some Hardentot is responsible for the mis nomer. But what sort of cheese is this reaction sensitivity?" . "In answer to youc question, may I ask one?" "Yep I've had my fill of Greek sage, also." "When you are at a choice-point ' in a maze, how do you make up your mind which way to go?" "My mind what's that? My experimenter has tampered with my sense organs, brain and what not; but he never laid a hand on my mind. I'll ask him about it and let you know." "Never mind! Let's not quibble over trivial ities." "But an understanding of each other's termin ology is essential. Recently, I'd been hearing my E speak so much of the birds and bees that I thought something was up. Therefore, I put a bee in a birdcage and waited. Hours on end. Nothing happened." "O. K., you win. To restate my question: how do you decide period?" "I don't," he said with a switch .of his tail, "and neither would you under the same cir cumstances." "But I'm not a rat," I protested. . "Nor am I a man," he countered sharply and then he went on to say, "But we both are an imals. And as such we are subject to the same set of natural laws." 7 Before I could interrupt, he continued, "I think a certain Cerf's poem is apropes: 'From out the mesh of fate ; Our heads we thrust, We can't do what we would I ' There must be a new brand of political pollen in the air this spring. They're doing it every where. At State College, which boasts a coed population of some 40 to 50 out of a student body of well over 4000, they have elected a woman editor qf Agromeck, the yearbook.

Beauty ( Conri7iuecI from page I) The winner will represent Chapel Hill in the Miss North byjim Wilson figure computations with quick movements of the fingers, accompanied by a few muttered words in Japanese. It sounded a little like high magic, and the results lelt visitors mystified and impressed. Mr. Moriguti, who is a profesor of statistics in Japan, said that these machines originated in China and are very old. It is' said that in certain cases they can produce results faster than elec tronic calculators, and Moriguti's handling of his toy-like frame of beads made this seem very probable. President Gray was noncommital at the sug gestion that a battery cf these simple frames might economically be installed in South Build- ; ing. Possibly he was thinking about the head aches they migh create among the staff in the early stages. The -room almost overflowed when a show was later presented by members of 1 the Club.

" "You're a smart rodent. Now answer this one what things combine to form the mesh of fate as related to choice-point decisions?" "Even a properly-conditioned mouse could answer that one. My choice or reaction comes as a resuult of the interaction of the following fac tors: how 'hungry' I am, the aroma of the cheese, the direction of the wind, the type of maze and my past history jthat is, the sum total of all my previous experiences and especially those re lated to maze-running." "As you were talking, one question popped into or that is arose in my personality: How do you like your work?" "I hate it," he said with a sigh. "Why don't you quit; or at least express your dissatisfaction?" "One doesn't bite the hand that feeds him. And besides, I get rny kicks from making con tributions to universal knowledge. You've heard about rabbits? Well, we rats euthabit them." He paused and then said, "You know I've great sympathy for you humans being tied down by So many mores, inhibitions, and the like.-They are a retardation to the ..." "Just a minute ..." "I'm sorry," he said as his ears perked up, "but I do not have time for a lengthy discus sion. I must go." "What's your hurry?" "E has just blown his whistle.

"The gratification of my sadistic predispos itions," he answered with a gleam in his eye. "E has a caged feline, and he lets me tease it. from time to time as long as I'm not catty. But before I scratch-off, what's this reaction-sensivity?" "Oh yes; well to Thompsonize Cameron, it's a selective readiness-to-react to certain factors in an exciting situation and not to others." "Can I pick it up at the Book-Ex?" "I should say not. You already have it. It results from your having acquired a system of related attitudes and reactions since your first squeak." "I see.

I am glad to know that some of the students here are not as Victorian in their thinking as the "certain University authori ties" referred to by Sanders. May this letter remind them that the student body does not wholly sanction this warped form of an cestor worship that is exempli fied in the obsolete policies con cerning campus architecture. I, for one, would like to see some really up-to-date build ings go up on campus. But the traditionaMst protests that a contemporary building would be incongruent with the pattern of our campus; it would stick out like a sore thumb. I should hope it would. Then visitors to our campus would see it and know that we had one building that is expressive of our time. And speaking of tradition, we have none. Gropius says, "True tradition is the result of con stant growth." Our architectural tradition here at Carolina be came extinct in 1920 when the decision was made to retrogress 200 years and start erecting pseudo-Georgian buildings. I am sure the pioneering souls Lighting Dear Sirs; I studied in the main library lower reading room last night and was impressed by the poor lighting there.

The graceful architecture of the 18th century is one of our priceless heritages, and I am not degrading it. But there is some thing almost sacreligious in the copying of Georgian architecture in buildings of the 20th century. It is an insult to our originality and creativeness and to th charm and dignity of the style that we try to imitate. Architecture should be an ex pression of its time.
