fhere Do You Swim?
The swimming pool is open! Kessmg pool, right behind
Woollen Gymnasium is now open to any student who gets a
swimming permit from the infirmary.
I it is such a little trouble to insure the healthy conditions
ot the swimming pool that students should take advantage
of it -
; Meanwhile, C. David Garvin, district health officer for
these four counties, advises that those who swim in Black
wood's (Clearwater) lake are endangering their health. Sev
eral students have been reported sick after swimming there.
Garvin says that it is probably unsanitary for swimming. He
reports that he cannot run an official check on the lake be
cause it is a. fishing lake, and meets all the sanitary conditions
siecessary for fishing. . . ,
; However, Blackwood's is charging students for the privi
lege of swimming there. Since this, is true, it is difficult to
understand why the health officer feels he has no jurisdiction
': Meantime,' there would be no problem at all, if students

scaling up leaks in .the floor
when Tad walked in. HelooK-,
d slightly -de-activatsa so I
reached in my drawer and hand
ed him a vial of syanuie. T art's
hangovers were quite different
' from mine. He had a satisfied
look on his face and I senously
doubt if he had even the trace of
a pain in his head. (If o'--
could call that diagram of an
atom on top of his neck, a head).
He leaned back against an ola
casket and sipped his poison. I
! sat down and began pecking out
nonsense syllables on the type
' writer. Finally I looked up and
said; "Well?" Tarl rolled one of
' his protons up toward the drip-;
; ping furnace pipe. It sizzled
' there a moment and popped
r back. Then he told me he had'
; been out on a party. .What kind
r of a party? I yawned. ;
! Tarl hesitated a .moment,. He
'said he wasn't sure, it, was
' named after a country in Eur
,' ope, Germany he believed. All
the people there were dressed
.most - peculiarly. The boys all
'. looked alike and the girls, well'
1 almost. Yet they were banded
I together into separate groups
i designated by ancient Greek let
ters. From the dull glow about
Taxi's face I could tell he wasn't
' too happy. ' '
He ooened the casket lid
.slightly and propped his feet on
the edge. Then he spoke in the
. ivi77in tnn.i that always re
minds me of a dynamo
squeaks. He and his date. went
to the dance. She wa one of the
' bright-eyed in-state girls living
' in Alderman. After the usual
preliminaries she realized Tarl
was new to that sort of thing
! and in true motherly fashion at
wouldn't work, there arent
enough of them and if you had
two competing groups both
would suffer. Each group would
get smaller and smaller and the
dances would cost more and
more and nobody-would be hap
py. I suppose Tarl gave her a super-sonic
smile at this point. He
wasn't having too good a time.
The floor was half empty, the
orchestra was big and brassy at
times and the music bounced off
the walls.; Bouncing sound
waves don't agree with Tarl's
nervous system. The coed was
getting a dreamy and all -too-worldly
look in her eye. Tarl
sensed a social impulse, so he
asked her what she was think
ing about, offering a half gram
of U-235 as inducement.
You know, she said to Tarl, it
.is sort of a shame all the frater
nity men can't come to the
dance. Tarl sensed a selfish mo
tive. Well, she purred, there'
was an awfully cute boy in one
v-of the little fraternities that had
somehow engineered a bid and
taken her to the dance the night
before. He was so cute and self
conscious, she, giggled, we had
a terribly good time. Maybe
she would invite him to the dorm
open-house, she added.
By this time the chatter had
somewhat disturbed Tail's neu
ronic tendencies. The dance was
nearly over and he gallantly ask
his vouna lady if she would
with " join hint in a beaker of sulphuric.
When, she asked vvnere ana ne
mentioned his subterranean six
vault apartment, she politely
said that-no, her partying was
quite complete for the evening.
Then she glanced in the direc
tion of a -nearby, dinner jacket,
Once again last week, some
body is cussing what is called -the
"Hauser Clan" that once
worked oh The Daily Tar Heel.
They say that the clan was pret
ty disreputable. It, said Mr.
Rerley in the letters column,
"abused its power by using its
control to publish malicious col
umns ahout fellow students, ir
responsible columns about other
colleges, and distorted news for
the purpose of influencing cam
pus elections."
The Column is probably the
sole living .survivor of that
clan, at least," it has been around
longer than anyone else who
worked with Chuck Hauser.
Personally, we are getting
tired of folks who use Hauser as
a scapegoat upon which hang all
1 their gripes, all the faults of
UNC publications, and most of
the trouble with every thing. else.
Hauser was, as everyone
knows, a person who had pretty
definite opinions and who didn't
mind putting them down. Some
of his ideas, and some of his
methods, were wrong.- But we
all have faults. There must be
something else for people to
hang just a lew of their gripes
on except Charles N. Hauser.
Seems to us that Chuck's
faults are something he must
live with and try' to overcome.
Some folks aren't being very
helpful when they continue to
harp on a person who must live
with himself and others.
And we will say right now
that this "Hauser Ogre" that Mr.
Kerley and others continue to
spout' about is largely a figment
of their own twisted minds. With
his faults, Chuck very largely
kept The Daily Tar. Hel,, to
gether for quite a few quarters
and he did a job that made him
respected among newspaper folk
throughout the state.
Mr. Kerley probably doesn't
think that's much of a recom
mendation, but there are a few
people who have sense, honor,
and good judgement above and
beyond his. At least, they have
a great deal more manners than
does his nasty little tongue.
The kind of news story that a
good reporter is always looking
for the man bites dog variety
came up recently when
Ray Jefferies, Assistant to the
Dean of Students, released the
sorority and fraternity averages
for the winter quarter.
Rieht in the middle at the bot
tom of the page the report read,
"All-Fraternity Average: 2.
8893." And right beneath that
the report continued "All-Men's
Average: 2.8901. That asterisk
() went on to point out that
the all-men's average was fig
ured by a sampling method
which takes the grades of about
one out of every ten men.
The man bites dog idea comes
in when it's considered that it
was a mighty cold day in Chapel
Hill when the fraternity men
pulled anything like beating the
all-men's average. For a group
that has been severely criticized
the last few years, and even
more -so this past year, for sup- !
, posedly advocating good times
' before scholarship; this a a long
stride toward quieting its crtics.
The winter quarter which,
with its long nights and cold
and rainy weather, is more con
ducive to study, undoubtedly
had a lot to do with the im
provement in the fraternity
marks but the rest of the male
contingent ..are affected in the
same, manner. Their educational
hormones run on the same track
as the .fraternity men.
Whatever the reason for the
improvement, it was a great one.
Whereas there had been only
seven fraternities with a better
than "C" average after the fall
quarter, the winter session pro
duced 14 of the "social" organi
zations with averages below. the
3.000 mark.
You can call it winter quar
ter itis if you like, but I think
the main reason for the improve
ment is a result of the work the
fraternities have done
selves. The
win a trophy from a Sigma Chi
or SAE, etc.
The Pi Lambda Phi's, always
near the top of the list, took
the roses this time with a 2.4805
average and the Beta's who
were mired in 14th place after
the fall quarter came with a rush
in the stretch grab fifth place
and the quarterly improvement
trophy.
Quite a few fraternities had
the 'bad luck to improve their
fall quarter marks but still drop
a notch on the list.
Anyway you look at it, it's
been a job well done, and I for
one would like to see the fra
ternities get a pat on the back
instead of a slap on the well
known kisser.
On Campus
Because the president of the
University of Virginia felt there
was. too "much drinking being
done at the. .last concert on1 the
campus he banned all future
concerts. An irate student then
wrote to the Cavalier Daily:
"My name ia George Wahoo
Jones. I was formerly a stu
dent at the University. One day
I was having a beer in my closet
when I was apprehended for ex
hibition drinking for leaving the
door ajar. I am leating tomor

On Campus
According to the Hastings
Collegian, a student at that col
lege decided to see if professors
actually read the term papers
required in a course.
He inserted a paragraph in
his term paper stating he didn't
believe teachers read what stu
dents write and he asked the
professor1 to underline that para
graph if he read it.
The paper was returned un
marked. First it was aa 6td soldier

Mayor Ed Lanier who is also
Director of UNC Student Aid
made a guess that there are
about 1,000 "candidates for de
gree" around now. That means
seniors planning to get their
sheephide in a few ' weeks.
Which , means we will probably
have"about 800 graduates.
The National Students Asso
ciation has always been one of
this Column's favorite subjects.
Back when we were an editorial
we continually called for UNC
to stay in and take part in NSA.
We still believe it to be neces
sary, since NSA officials are
still "the voice of college Amer
ica." But we are a little con
cerned over the NSA domestic
program. Although it has many
projects, NSA has yet to insti
tute any real program that can
""be seen inTpefatlen .on college
campuses. Until it does, it is
going to have trouble - getting
support and money. Especially
on this campus, NSA has yet to
make any impression or do any
thing. The entire purpose of
the Association is put in jeo
pardy by the present situation.
