THE DAILY TAIi HV.F.L Saturday, JIay 10, 1031 p.r-p Tv A Gift Of Service The othec. night we heard the most remarkable speech on the subject of student government that we have ever heard. It was delivered by Dr. Albert Coates of the Institute of Government. Dr. Coates was speaking on the occasion of ' :'tlu annual Di-Phi award, which was so well-deserved by mm. Dr. Coates outlined the history of student government on this, campus, from its beginnings in 1795, through its develop- -merits in the two literary societies, the years of the Civil . ' War, when the Univesrity was deserted, growth of the stu dent council, and the final emergence of the student body asra politically self-governing group. His history was" stirring; his own story, which is that of . the Institute of Government and its services to the people - of this state was moving; but the most remarkable part of his. speech was in his recognition of student self-govern ment as a democratic unit, oi importance ranging vvitn any "other unit of government. Dr. Coates outlined a plan whereby he intends to offer student government officials the same benefits which have - been offered to municipal, county, and state officials for so , many years by the Institute of Government. This is one of the most generous aids ever offered to a campus government, and we sincerely trust that government ' 1 Ml ,1 j! i 1 1 t - pmciais wm mase me iunesi M odicum Of Progress i Last night B dormitory held 3 social room. To the boys in B : which it is hoped will be only one of many. A great deal of work went into planning this occasion and the workers look to the Administration to recognize the serious attitude which they as typical of dorm men in general are taking. ' "k To the men in the other dorms this is a ray of hope "which Xurther illumines their chances of such activities in the near V future. Admittedly most of the "other dorms were not con i structed nearly so well as B for the promotion of these ! functions. On the other hand even in B the facilities are ? I not as complete as they might well be wished to be. L Visitors to the rooms in B have been struck by the plans t Uor extended accommodations which hang on the wall as a f reminder that the goal of providing a complete home in the I dorm has yet to be reached. Only under very special and high- y supervised circumstances are women allowed to visit dorm J-.jnen at home. S ' The Administration has wisely chosen to move with care fin this matter but all concerned should keep watch to avoid v the stagnation which inevitably, follows satisfaction with a i 30b which is onlv half finished. I i It is hardly fair to provide a home for the student on cam pus which actually is not a home at all. TS No Progress At All Thursdav nieht the Legislature consigned to the ranks of Head legislation a bill to investigate hazing on campus. The ' foes of the bill assigned as their reason for opposing such ac tion, the question; of its timeliness. They argued that therex J .Was not sufficient evidence of the existence of the practice ! to justify legislation on the subject. Unfortunately they neg l lected to realize that the bill was simply designed to secure I the very information which they claimed was needed as a ! basis-for action on the subject. '. Or perhaps thev realized exactly-what the bill would Cdo, that it would provide a means through which facts might ..-come to light facts which might prove embarassing to some i one TS - Previews ond Reviews 1 Goodbye And Hello r 'VBoodbye, My Fancy" means 'hello' to a good Joan Crowford film, and after the terrific flop, "Harriet Craig," it is indeed a welcome greeting. You can us ually depend on Warner Broth, ers to give us a film with "in-, terest appeal" about this tima of the year, and they always have Joan on hand to help. This time, last year it was "The Damned Don't Cry". Ccnsresswoman Joan returns ' !' to her old college to receive an, i honorary degree, and to revive ' any flames of her unknown love t affair with its president (play .Pby Robert Young, with his fx fatherly gray showing this tune). fB::..Joan was expelled from this tjstmie school, after staying out l most of the night with Bob, who iljajjn't the courage to admit that fho-was the man. Playing the i saint; she sacrificed her name for E'tvisl telling nothing, and quiets ;ly leaving. f ,'The. only thorn in the garden Hi this old -love is Frank Love hcrk (now appearing in "I Was .5c "Communist 'for the F.B.L") , hmd he too, is an old flame. He use oi u. a party in its recently opened this represents a forward step shows up at commencement to cover the exercise for LIFE- liv ing a pretty swank life for a photographer. .Eve Arden is Joan's secretary (the same type relationship she enjoyed in "Mildred Pierce"), and this' time with short hair, she leaves you with long laughs, as usual. A sure -candidate, for stardom is Janice Rule,' playing Robert Young's daughter, with a charm that is seldom matched. Janice, incidentally, was selected by Motion Picture Magazine as their choice for stardom in '51. Joan fights with old flame Lovejoy, promising to marry Bob. The outcome well, that would be telling! "Goodbye, My Fancy" is swell . entertainment, even down to the theme music (which, for a change, fits the title and mood), a barrel of good dialogue, and it is yours today at the Carolina ' Theater. (I don't usually admit this, but this is one I'll see again!) . David Alexander Costumes For Caesar by Louise Snead It is recorded of a Mediaeval Craftsman that lie printed in the front page of a Book he was binding in tooled leather "To the glory of God, I, Johan Bos kert, have honestly bound this book". This conscientious spirit is stressed 'in a familiar poem referring to the perfection of carved ornament in hidden corners and in dark areas, of the Gothic Cathedrals "For the Gods see every where". That spirit, still undimmed, is the urge in all true Art work. I am thinking particularly of the mag nitude of the task of costuming the coming Play, "Cleopatra and Caesar" in the Playmaker's Cos tume Shop. As a student privileged to work in the Class, I desire to give this message to the audienc e's that will attend the three per formances. There is an old say ing that -the highest skill em ployed in creating a work of art, is the skill that conceals all ef fort so that the public is led to believe that it was easily ac complished. When you enjoy the beauty, harmony, color-combination and accessories and admire the sim ple lines of grace that appear so effortless, please know that after laborious historical re search, every costume was me ticulously designed .-in color by a young genius named Chuck Morrell; when you marvel at the amazing variety of textiles, from silken gauze to heavy rough fabric of soldiers' jerkins and leather trappings know the arduous task of selecting the right material, with the right color, and the right amount re quired, then cutting the pat terns to fit each actor, was the heroic accomplishment of a gen ius named Irene Smart. But so far all this effort is only pre liminary; the BIG JOB is the creation, the execution, under . the direction of the two Genius es teaching the students to make the 50 or more garments, and here is where the afore men tioned conscientious craftsman ship holds sway. A student with a bright idea gays "But I know a quicker way" The Genius; "We don't toler ate a quicker way, we only want the right way" Another voice ventures; "But this won't show it's on the in side" Genius; "But the inside must be as truly right as the outside" Student; "May I sew this long hem on the machine? that's so much quicker" Genius: "No hem of mine is ever sewed on the machine, but always by hand, no matter how long it takes, or how rushed we are. I'll give you my reasons. If it is not right on the inside, the garment will not fit correctly, it won't set snugly, it won't hang gracefully." The Carolina Playmakers cos tumes ' are enthusiastically ap plauded and widely acclaimed, and now you know why. An ar tist is a workman in love with his work. "A genius is one who has a vast capacity for taking an infinite amount of pains." On Campus Robert "Goo-Goo" Gantt had a hard time of it the other night being coached in Biology. No, nothing like that, but he seems to have gotten caught in a dumbwaiter on a fast ride from the first to the fourth floor, and back again. Then, for a while, it looked like Gantt would have a permanent residence in the Biology building, stuck between floors. Cross Ruff At times Academic Freedom has meant little more than the freedom of students to select their own courses of study, or to be absent from a specified number of classes. At times it has meant the freedom of a scholar to reveal the conclusions arising from his research. Today, it generally refers to the freedom of a teacher from restrictions on his employment arising from political affiliations. In practice, the application of a policy of protecting academic freedom frequently consisted of defending the vested interest in employment of individuals who had expressed political views significantly divergent from those of the officials dominating the schools concerned. In prin ciple, the interest of the individ ual is not the paramount issue. Rather, he is a pawn in a game played for higher stakes. Those who defend him base their case on the premise that his ouster will discourage others from ex pressing unconventional views, and thus lead to the gradual ter mination of effective scholarship. . It is argued on the one hand that the academic profession en joys a peculiar opportunity to, develop original' ideas, many of which will not be immediately acceptable to the public or their officials, and that progress re quires the extensive freedom of academecians to publish these results of their research. This view indicates that this one class should enjoy an even larger de gree of freedom than the general population. It is argued on the other hand that the academic profession enjoys a peculiar in fluence over the formative years and that security requires the extensive restriction on acade mecians with regard to the pre sentation of their nonconform ist ideas. This view suggests that this class has responsibilities necessitating an even larger re straint on their freedom than is imposed on the general popula tion. A third view denies the validity of any distinction among the parts of society, insisting that academecians have no rights and no responsibilities not shar ed by all citizens. To those who hold this view it may be proper to discuss "freedom" but the term "academic freedom" is re . dundant. When action is taken against a nonconformist, two explana tions generally emerge. His sup porters insist that the action is prompted directly by his non conformity. They maintain that vested interests are attempting to obstruct progress by attack ing anyone who has the temerity to produce new ideas. The reply ACROSS 'if' 84.

To those who seek to protect the freedom of all, including those who would deprive others of freedom, comes a difficult di lemma. Which constitutes a graver danger to our liberal in stitutions: the direct attack upon them by those who would de stroy them, or the restrictions on freedom that arise as an in evitable byproduct of any effort to restrict even those who would abuse that freedom? Should freedom include the freedom to destroy freedom? Can restric tions on freedom be useful in preserving freedom? Like most of the fundamental problems of society, no glib an swer can suffice. Slogans that prove so useful in a . political campaign can usually be made to serve the purposes of "either side on such issues as these. It behooves the intelligent citizen to, weigh carefully the implica tions of each alternative before he commits . himself to a policy which may have lasting conse quences not apparent to the superficial observer. Footballer Carmen Annillo has lent a new twist to the "Old Soldiers Never Die" series now circulating on campus. After an episode involving a horse, a beer party, and a po liceman, Ca'rmen sends word that the latest in the way of take-off titles is "Old Football Players Never Die, They Just Ride Away."
