THE DAILY TAR HEEL SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1951 Let's liy " Again PAGE TWO by Poul Barwiclc One Vote B" dormitory had a party Friday night. It was a well v chaperoned affair because it was in their social room: If it had been at Hogan's Lake, or at Crabtree State Park, or in any one 'of the cabins close by that are used for dormitory and fraternity drinking parties . . . , Can you imagine asking chaper ones the usual apprpved chaperones io your next cabin pary? We hope Coed Senate and Interdormitory Council will soon, make another try for visiting in dormitory social rooms. They will probably ask for a visiting agreement on much the same basis as that allowed fraternities.' " This year's try may meet with more success. Most of the men's dorms now have social rooms, equipped by the Uni versity with basic furniture. Coed Senators in informal dis cussion are unanimously in favor of a visiting arrangement. Last Spring's campaign brought out clearly that the men are clamoring for an agreement. And a new sort of attitude is seen in South Building. "I believe," new Dean of Women Mrs. Robert H. Wettach says, "that students may raise any issue they wTish, and are entitled to a reply regardless of whether the administrative official agrees or not." Mrs. Wettach "re-emphasized the im portance of autonomous student government. In general, the situation is now more favorable for civilized visiting procedures in men's dormitories. Student government should not hesitate to ask for them. fiO .1" ve. : - Ratable Onceupon a time there was a man whose name was John Quinby Aloysius Jones. J. J., as; with your permission, Dear Reader, I shall call, him, was a very good man which is to say he was very up-to-date. He believed in progress,' that everything was getting better and "better, or sometimes on Sunday morning after the tail: end of Saturday night that everything was. getting worse and worse. He knew what he wanted, and was reasonably scrupulous about getting it. He. did not desire to be powerful orrich but only to be comfort ably off and protected. He felt that he was able to assure him self of these things in spite of the unfortunate condition of cer- tain parts of the world, certain areas of the economy, and some maddened minds of foolish men. He knew that right would prevail, and without being overly insistant . about it he knew that he was right. J. J. was tolerant. He knew people who believed in God and was acquainted with some who didn't. There, were good fel lows in both crowds. Some of the first crowd were a bit tact less at times: he had even heard of a few who tried to convert people they knew.. He didn't hold with that sort of nonsense. It was pushing, prying, a denial of a man's right to be left alone; It was all right for a man to believe in God if he chose to-exert himself that way. He was pretty sure that there is a God, and he -would be glad to say that to any man who ever asked him. What more could a believer desire? Anyway, that would be- more courtesy than the Paul Pry deserved. By God, I know what I'm doing. What do such fellows want? The other crowd are a lot easier to get along with. Well, J.'J. has us there. There we'll leave him. Like all of of us he is sure of himself. Sure there ,is a God. What of it? V?hat's in it for me? What good does it do? To what end, for what purpose should I, with the Paul Prys, the believers in God, those who would serve him; to what end should I follow them? . , ; '' . , To his end; That you shall not die as will John Quinby Aloysius Jones either in-material poverty cursed by the spir itual poverty which knows God only to swear vainly by Him or in material comfort with the emptiness of knowing that there is nothing beyond the pleasures which you have been able to give yourself. Above all to this end: That believing in God you know your way; believing that there is a God of . no meaning to you you have to find a way. And you are blinded as was J. J. by the light cast by your self. betters Madam Editor:-" " I was interested to read in to- day's Daily Tar Heel in the ar ticle on the administration's Ne gro policy that, according to of ficial: sources, athletics is not a part of the educational program of the University. Hs. Mr. Snave- ly heard about this? I guess it all depends upon what point you are trying to prove. (Please withhold my name.

Ru'Jn Woody, llrl : i;Uer xc'A Cadicu If you smoke or drive a car, or you might be- interested in a meeting held in the yMorehead Building lounge ort last Satur day. Delegates from the three cam puses of the Consolidated Uni versity heard Mr. Gray talk about these items. Among other things asked students what they thought about smoking in class rooms and freshmen with cars. When asked how important smoking was to them during classes, the students answered with a bevy of replies. Some ' said it was relaxing; others in dicated that it helped them to concentrate, while still others didn't think it made too much difference. But they all agreed that the majority 'of students here would dislike the idea of banning smoking in classrooms. State and W.C. don't allow smoking except in seminars or special classes. To a large de gree, Chapel Hill students can smoke as much as they please. Roth W.C. and State students indicated that they would 'like to smoke in classes. " In another question, Gray sounded out student opinion on freshmen haying automobiles. The reaction to this query was mixed. Student Body President Henry Bowers said the idea might be all right if other en tertainment facilities were giv en to students by the University. As it is now, cars provide one way of getting away from it all, a big weekend at other 'schools, or transportation to home. Some delegates were strongly against - any ' such car infringements. Gray said after the talk that he was just trying to find out stu dent opinion and hadno defin ite plans in mind about smok ing or the use of automobiles by students. . One thing that Gray doesn't think adheres to "dignity of conduct"- is the casual drees around campus. Apparently, it got too casual one day when a student who hed an appointment with the president dropped in with a T-shirt and shorts. s - , . , The only bed p.irt about the t"-5k was that it had to be spent on' matters such as thq cunijire, chapel. Student government of ficials have the power to act as voluntary policemen in such cases. Violators can be passed the word better by fellow stu dents than University authori ties. The physical plant of the Uni versity of North Carolina em braces almost 1,700 acres and more than 70 buildings (several in process .of construction now) with an estimated value of ap proximately 24 million dollars! The teaching staff numbers some 500 members. Our Confederate flag is about to go down the drain so some think. There has been a lot said re cently about the flying of the Confederate flag in the South, The University of North Caro lina student body might be the originator; of the ever present Confederate flag today. Although the flags were made in the North, Carolina students transplanted the South to the North (New York City) when Carolina's .football team played Notre Dame in 1949. Since that time, Confederate flags have been flying high as a distin-' guishing characteristic of the South. I read this summer about a man who thought the South was flying the Confederate flag on cars, at sporting events, and stuck on walls of homes, as an indication of the South's denun ciation of the Truman adminis tration. That sounds silly, but a grown man wrote the idea. Too, I've'heard that the Com munists are trying to stir up a hatred between the Northland the South; thus, "dividing the United States. Here's a note to the Communists: The United States, North and South, East and West, are bound together with a single goal in view de feat Communism. The Confederate flag will con tinue to fly in the South and North, too. When I fly my Con federate flag. I'm showing open ly that I'm proud to be a South erner and part of the whole which makes the United States. V) 1 1 I5 I4" I6 I7 Wdp l?
