First Round Over
We have two orchids to toss this week, but neither of them
are the usual weekly bouquets. These are -tributes lor an ,
entire year of extraordinary accomplishments' and 'progress.-''
The iirst goes to Gordon Gray, who will soon wind up his
first year as President of the Consolidated University with
a large measure of success under his belt. Gray's accomplish
ments are many and varied. Coming here without a Ph.D.
from the Cabinet post of Secretary of the Army, he waded
into an administrative task without parallel in state gov
ernment. He mastered the fundamental complexities of a
great state University. He has worked out a long-range pro
gram of consolidations and appointed the competent William
Friday as Assistant to the President in alumni affairs. He
has plans to appoint a director of development. He has ap
pointed Logan Wilson as Academic Vice-President, thus dem
onstrating a trait characteristic of only the truly great ad
mitting a lack of knowledge in a particular field.
, Congratulations tp the, man who has in fact and in spirit
becameQur President, , ,
. The. second bouquet goes to a young man' with another
"big job in the Consolidated University. Girls at the Woman's
College in' Greensboro have taken to calling him "our liberal
chancellor," indicating by this his attitude toward education,
and his attitude toward women in education.
Dr. Edward Kidder Graham has proved his, ability and
hte likability to the students, faculty, and administration at
"Woman's College. He, too, has proven this'year that he was
the finest choice that the trustees could have made for the
new chancellorship of the college. In his first year, he has
jmade outstanding accomplishments.
A Short History
With a switch in size, a cut in publishing days, and ten
editors in a year. The Daily Tar Heel has had a bustling,
sometimes bruising' year
Chief among the:,papr's troubles this year has been the
money problem. Hit hard by tho decrease in enrollment and
Ihe consequent cut of money allocated to it, the, paper cut its
wire, -services;, number of issues'per week, its featured column.
wrifef; Robert Puiark, and even L'il Abner.
i'l .Since last April, the editorship has changed hands many
limes due to the illnesses to the incumbent or qlection of a
jriew student. .,. . - . ' .-7u
Here's the rundown fln editors: Graham Jones suc
If. ceeded Dick Jenrette in April and worked until 'June
j . last year. During the summer Roy Parker and Andy
j- Taylor served as chiefs. When September rolled around,
'. we had no editor becausev.J.pnes. was ill. Parker was ap-
I pointed to serve but. after a few weeks' editing, he re-.-
if signed .to. fun- for electj&i; vr.
;i The, Publications BoSr'diapgue.Sj CKuck Hauser and
ienretje asiCEiitors ;il??feahd piston battled it
lbut on the ballots. Parker swept iritci 'office By a sbund mar
gin and the paper had one editor for several months.
But when springtime came, Parker was forced to quit
because of illness and the PB appointed Zane Robbins to
fill the post. Robbins lasted two days as Parker recovered
and took over the helm again.
Meanwhile, elections popped up. In a five way race
; for the editorship and a runoff between Glenn Harden
and Associate Editor Don Maynard, the first woman to '
edit the paper since 1944 was elected.
Since then, the paper has reduced its size in order to
come out six days a week, "Operation Tabby" was instituted
on an experimental basis and pending approval of the PB,
the tabliod may become the regular, size for next year.
Columnists Harry Snook and Chuck Hauser created the
most stir on campus, while Rolfe Neill, former managing
editor, wrote the best news story for a North Carolina campus
paper and was elected president of the State College Press
Association. ' " t
This summer the paper may be .published bi-weekly and
in the fall quarter, it is hoped that there will be a six-day
printing schedule.
In spite of the political shannigans during election times,
and the raw remarks tendered to the campus news sheet, The
Daily Tar Heel continued to serve students and gave the
University an idea of what goes on, how, when, where, who,
and why. W. M. D., II.

IFC Kickback
A. "Dear John" letter to ex
Student Body President Sanders:
What's going to come out of
, this rusty-trusty little Royal is
something that has been bounc
ing around the keyborad for a
jnighty long time. It just can't
stay there any longer."
I read your interesting, though
perhaps somewhat bigoted, arti
cle on the IFC in Tuesday
morning's paper. In fact I al
most lost my breakfast after the
; first - paragraph. I dSn't know
what got into' you to make you
write such a bunch of tripe,
John, but you certainly left your
Scf open for an awful tot oi
criticism.' "' '
Your little blast -opened -with
. the dogmatic statement that Uhe
XFC is -"probably the weafcst
element of Student Government
and then you went on "la say
that the IFCwas not inn by its
representatives but by members
of the fraternities at large.
It is readily admitted that
matters which are being consid
ered by the IFC are brought out
in fraternity chapter meetings
to get a concensus of opinions
but I think that this can hardly
be considered derogatory. By
chapters, members of the fra
ternities get half an idea what
their ruling body is doing
something more than can be
said about your sojourn as Pres
ident of the Student Body.
I'm not saying that the IFC
doesn't have its weak points but
I certainly can think of good
points that rnlsbt be followed by
the 'stronjf' etemtfrtts of Student

It might be best for me to get
it off what little chest I have
now instead of waiting until
next fall to do it. I am afraid
that I would be saying the wrong
thing at the wrong time then,
for this is concerning the entire
year's activities.
You see, I have always heard
of this thing called "Carolina
Spirit" and I'm pretty proud of
being called one of the Carolina
fanatics. However, I have been
very disappointed with the spirit
this year. (My first year as a
Carolina student.)
Everything was going great
guns' at the beginning of foot
ball season. Not only on Satur
days, but all during the week
I could sense the spark in the
atmosphere that did something
to me. I don't care what you say,
that spirit expired about half
way through the football seas
on. You and I went to the foot
ball games and did about as
much yelling as an Egyptian
, mummy.
It reminded me of drift wood
tossing at sea. It was just habit
that caused us to follow our
nose to Kenan Stadium on Sat
urday afternoon or turn our
radios on to hear the broadcast.
The Duke game (the real
. game of the year) is a perfect
example.-Yes, we stood up and
yelled last November until the
team took the field, but we
didn't feel any tingle from sheer
i loyahjf. About the only tingle
'-present was coming from a
bottle and it wasn't coffee.
Basketball games had even
less spirit. Every time we would
open our mouths we'd hit our
selves in the face with our own,
yells, Some of the teams' bench
did more cheering than the
whole Carolina student body.
. Valkyrie Sing was good from
tfne ''side of the table. Frater
nities and sororities made a good
showing, 'but of the 18 boys'
dorms and five girls' dorms only
one dorm entered in the sing
ing. Old East entered and should
be and is proud of the fact that
it is trying to carry on the Car
olina Spirit in a small way.
Now, when we come back to
school next year, let's start off
with a barig'jmd keep shouting
until all our shots have b'een
fired when we leave to go home
in 1953. We're going to have
something to shout about next
year a good football team,
(that should get us off on the
right foot), a good basketball
and baseball team,. There's also
going to be tennis, track, golf
and scores of other interest to
keep us going. Too, don't forget
the Valkyrie Sing.
On Campus
From Carl Goerch's column in
The State Magazine, we glean
the following information:
For years we've heard "I'm a
Tar Heel Born, I'm a Tar Heel
Bred, and we were always under
the impression that this was
an original North Carolina song.
The other evening, however, we
were having dinner at Old
Heidelberg in Asheville and
were somewhat startled to hear
a couple of guests sing it like
this:.
"For we're Brown men born
And we're Brown men bred -And
when we die
We'll be Brown men dead."
ports l ean gather you have at
tended one IFC meeting and
two House Presidents' meetings.
That doesn't seem to give you
much to ; base an opinion on. ...
I hope I hayeiVt , torn . your

Which Is Best?
Editor:
Last week a letter appeared in this column concerning the feea
ing o starving peoples in India and noting that a collection was be
ing taken for that purpose.
Sometime ago the Red Cross atteniptedjo do the same sort of
thing in the Orient. They were" Inunigratiori laws: let in the
various races in the same pro
portions in which they already
exist. We might try some "scien-

worthy as it was, because, it was
forced to abandon the project,
alleged, certain Oriental peoples
regard procreation as a sacred tiiic" method,
right; more food to the Orient
did not mean that less people
starved it meant that more peo
ple starved because those who
survived conceived more chil
dren, for whom ever greater
quantities of food were required.
The question that faces well
wishers is, "Which is the great
er good (or sin), to save people
from starving, or to prevent the
birth of added millions who
must in turn starve?" When
this question reaches interna
tional proportions, it becomes a
race problem of proportions be
yond the scope of any thing
we have seen on this earth.
When we think how long it has
taken the United States to solve
its race problem to the small
extent that it has, we may well
wonder how long it will take
