We hope that some of the re-enacted spirit in yesterday's
observance of the University's birthday will be enacted
every day: of the year by the students on this campus.
Not only do we praise those who took part in the ceremony
for their very excellent presentation, but also, we want to
comment on the number of students who were interested
enough in the origin of Carolina to attend the celebration.
It was an inspiring gathering. Let's continue to carry on the
tradition set up by our pioneers 158 years ago. " B. B.
H he 'OYCI Dies
The Gallants and Gallantettes who dashed onto the field
behind South Building this week to do mortal battle with the
hideous OYCr have galloped back into their smug and snug
little holes. We know, because we are safely back in our set
of holes now, happily thinking of the slain OYCI.
But those students and administrators who put time and
energy into the battle may have to gallop back again next
week and the week after, for the OYCI dies a reluctant death.
No sooner was the bunting and the banners put away than
sighs appeared that the OYCI was1 still about. Let the heralds
wait to sound their peal of victory. The OYCI yet lives . ....
he lives yet lives he yet? " . . .
Look about you carefully ... well, the whole point is, are
YOU one?

READING ACCOUNTS of
UNC's -latest rhubarb over its
Negro students makes a person
chuckle disgustedly, before any
thing else. But the laughter is
followed by the sombre question:
Why in the hell can't grown
people stop making fools of
themselves, publicly and pri
vately, at UNC?" v

"Why do I have to take four

THE GUILTY PARTIES are
representatives of all three
groups involved- First come the
Negro student's announcement
of his. raw deal in the matter of
football tickets. Then CO. Pear
son the Durham Negro attorn
ey and NAACF- spokesman---comes
out with one of his typi
cal high-flown., tirades. He
screams "discrimination" as if
the fate of Negro-White rela
tions hung in the balance- Mr.
Pearson is, in my opinion, just
as detrimental to racial rela-
people of foreign countries bet
ter," suggested the advisor.
"Why just Spanish coun
tries?" asked the student.
"Couldn't I learn more about
more countries in courses that
didn't require spending 90 per
cent of my time learning just
the mechanics of one langu
age?" "It's a good mental exercise,"
the advisor said. .
"But there's a course in 'logic
that will provide twice the
exercise and be-useful the rest
of my life' replied the student
"And the logic course, which,
teaches you how to think clear
ly, isn't even required!" -
"I know," said the advisor.
"But, the foreign language is re
quired." "Why?" asked the student
naively. .
"Because," the advisor ex
plained patiently, "the study of
a foreign language will contri
bute to " your cultural back
ground and make a better citi
zen out of you."
"But wouldn't a study of eco
nomics, in a survey course, do
me more good every day of my
life in making intelligent deci
sions as a citizen?"
"You can take Economics 31
and 32 electives," the advisor
advised.
"But there are so many
courses required that I won't
have enough electives to get a
well - rounded education!"
moaned the student.
"Many of the required courses
are excellent, you know," said
the advisor-. "Let's .see you
need English' 3,, don't you?"
"I guess so," the student
mumbled abjectly. .
"It'll help you understand the
people of old England," the ad
visor said cheerily '
"Yeah,"; said the student, "but
I notice that a course in psy
chology, to help me understand

"Maybe the GtUciui Coee

Letters
Mme. Editor: v . , .
We, the occupants of 107
Emerson Stadium, agree with
Robert Pullman 100 as to his
letter of October 5 in the Daily
Tar Heel concerning drinking
and its Evils. .
We, too, believe that indulg
ing in alcoholic beverage at a
ball game, or anywhere else, for
that matter, is absolutely abhor
rent! . ' v
We applaud Mr. Pullman for
his fine letter.

Country Wood
Madam Editor;
In our four years amid the
hallowed halls of Carolina, we
have more or less formed daily
routines- which we follow, but
something unexpected happens
it really gpoils our whole day.
We don't strongly object to
the fact that the name Daily Tar
Heel might be considered false
advertisement by-some people
on Monday mornings, or that
the same . Tar Heel is approxi
mately the same size as a Carb-.
Una quiz book, butwe-do object
loud and strong when on Wed
nesday morn there appears the
tions as any John Rankin. He
can always be depended on ' to
rave and rant when calm,
reasonable, clearheaded talk is
needed.
JUST AS GUILTY in this
''comedy of quotes" is Chan
cellor R.B. House's statement.
He claims the UNC administra
tion knew nothing of the action
but would back up the CAA in
the matter. It is a story behind
which Mr. House has ducked
too many times. Why a man
with his honesty, genuine good
sense, and sense of responsibil
ity always passes a well-worn
buck' when it comes to UNC's
muddled racial situation, is more
than we can understand. He has
hidden behind such a passed
buck in the past on w questions
of segregation in UNC build
ings. We can't believe that the
handling of the Negro ticket
situation wasn't discussed,
agreed upon, and carried out,
with, the full knowledge of the
South B";,-;- .
GUILTIEST 0F .iLL are the
folks whose pressure keeps even
the reasonably courageous UNC
administration from going ahead
and giving the Negro students
all the things they have a right
to as UNC students. Fear of
repercussions from alumni,,
trustees, and legislators is
grounded in the fact that these
groups include folks whose ideas
on how to handle race-relations
i never got beyond ths. slave-state
stage. And it is these elements
who make a farce of UNC racial
problems, undermine the firm
foundation of our state's race
y relations, and " force strong
principled UNC administrative
personnel to prostitute them
selves to hypocritical stopgap
solutions to race problems when
the proper, just and sane solu
tion is as plain " - - -
Durante's face. ?
ANYWAY, WE Ho. - . - .1 , .
students see Tar Heel football
wars from the best possible
vantage points. Be damned if
we wouldn't sit in a pine tree
if the doctors would just let us
out of hock. Lot of folks "don't
know when they're well off. But
same crossword, puzzle that
appeared in the Tar v Heel on
Tuesday Morn.
Must we be deprived of this
little mental exercise by having
- the same crossword puzzle two
days in a row?
Also we noticed in a recent
issue of the Tar Heel an article
on the use of the Confederate
flag and the views of some
people on its use. This wTas the
second time this article has
appeared word for, word -on the
Tar Heel's editorial page.

need mental exercise,

Dear Mr. Snook,
In regard to your column in
The Daily Tar Heel Tuesday,
October 9, 1051, Jet me say
"Bravo!" It is time for a few
more people to'get the idea that
one can believe in God without
following :"to a T" the set prin
ciples of some particular religi
ous doctrine.
Don Angell
Madame Editor:
The column "Nonplus" in
Tuesday's Daily ,Tar Heel has
served to emphasize the need
for positive Christian Action on
this' campus. Harry Snook is a
sincere person who is honestly
seeking truth but who has been
blinded by a thing called self.
A person never recognizes his
need for God until he compre
iiends his own limitations and
acknowledges his human fraili
ties, Harry speaks of a God whose
sole authority among men is
based upon an antiquated and
incomplete Book of ambigous
and contradictory messages. To
some people the Bible is just
that because they have failed to
scratch the surface of its mean
ing. They fail to recognize the
great truths which lie in its
message. I would never claim
that the Bible is infallible. The
Bible does not claim that for
itself; however, the great truths
contained therein stand inviolate.-
If one would read the Old
Testament as the record of
God's revealing of Himself t
man and preparing a people for
the ultimate revelation of Him
self, It would be ambus or
contradictory. The New Testa
ment is not in opposition with
the Old, rather it transcends the
-Old to reveal the truth of God
more perfectly to man. The es
sence of the Gospel can be sum
med up by saying that God was
in Christ reconciling the world
unto Himf.
Harry states that the God he
recognizes is based upon an ex
tension of national thought and
designed to assist the individu
als in this world in achieving
maximum happiness in a. har
monious community. What is
this "extension of rational
thought", but a god , created by
man in his own image and in a
likeness, of the thinker, manu
factured to serve his own pur
poses and .under his control. Yet
Harry states, "I do not believe
in a God created in the image
of man." T1- ' '-WV is
' in a 'iiuicu, iiuiry. Snook's
religion is Humanism, and his
god is merely himself projected
into infinity. This is the awful
danger of self-worship that a
person sooner or later falls into
when the true God as revealed
prjcf.fs forsaken.
