Wbaf -Jkre YOU D It is sad commentary on the state of student affairs when some students will complain about the student newspaper, yet do nothing toward contributing to a better paper. Hie Daily Tar Heel is -not a student paper just in the sense that it is published for students to read. It is also a student paper in that students, do the work of putting it out. Students who serve on the staff take much ; pleasure in trying to do an important job well. ' They know that a good newspaper is essential to everything we consider excep tional about our Carolina campus. In addition to-discharging their obligation as students to help put out this student paper, the staff members profit personally Their experience with people and words proves invaluable to them throughout their lives. . . " ::: :. ' If you can write and if you are willing to spend a small amount of your time inhelping put out a better Daily Tar Heel, there is a job for you to do and a place for you on the staff. You'll enjoy it. You'll learn through it. And you'll be discharging an obligation to . yourself and your fellow students. ' Always needed are, news reporters to cover both regular beats and the activities in a particular field or of a particular organization. Feature writers, who put into print the un usual and interesting sidelights of campus life, are always in demand.: There is always room for another good sports reporter. "f O W'L 0:fl gf ? The Student Legislature pulled another boner last night. In consideration of an item in the newly devised budget that would give the Daily Tar Heel an additional $4,000 over last spring's budget, the student splons included a stipulation dictating exactly what the money is to be used for. V In effect, the Student Legislature has now set a precedent by which it can virtually control the publication policies of the newspaper, an unconstitutional point in itself . In this par ticular case, the Legislature has allocated the money, "subject to the condition that the Daily Tar Heel reverts back to the standard size newspaper," According to the figures of such competent people as Ernest Delaney, financial adviser to the Publications Board the news paper cannot possibly revert to standard size and continue, through the spring quarter, on anything like a daily basis. The Publications Board rejected this advice, and, in turn, the Leg islature has followed. So, now we have a Legislature that rejects the advice of the financial advisers it hires; it rejects the advice of ah editor who was elected on the basis that she publish as "daily as pos- sible" a newspaper; and we have a Legislature that proposes also to dictate to what has heretofore been known as an. in dependent student newspaper. ! We can give the. solons some benefit of the doubt in that many of them have, as before, failed to fully acquaint ythern- selves with the reliable facts. But'lior.. long are they going ito ignore these facts?-Hbw many more times will they pass; meas- i ures that are suspect for tineonstitutionality?

I agree with, you whole-heartedly in that "frat" men are superior in every phase of life.

The issue involv ing, the size of the Tar Heel in volves this and more. It is also the disregard of the Voice pf the students.-We all know that the students' voted last year for a daily paper in the form of a tabloid. That' issue has been well publicized. " ""i more disturbing is the by Borry Forbor Not Guilty New York, Oct. 22 If somebody had come up to me forty eight hours ago and told me I was going to fly to Yugoslavia Monday afternoon, I'd have wrapped him up in a straight-jacket, bundled him over to the psychology building, and run him through a maze. Nevertheless, in a few minutes I'm scheduled to take off from Idlewilde Airfield for a pleasant week in the Balkans as guest of the Yugoslavian Student Organ ization. Here's the way it all popped. I left Chapel Hill Friday .morn ing with every Intention of driv-. ing to Washington, yelling for the Tar Heels, take in a few shows, behave myself, and then drift back to the Hill. Well, at half time at Byrd Stadium who should I bump into but my old buddy Bill Dentzer, National President of NSA. "Hello, Barry," he smiled. "Want to go to Yugoslavia next Monday "I smelled his breath. He was remarkably sober. "Sure, I'll go," i burped. Then he smelled my breath. "You may have heard," Den tzer continued, "that NSA is supposed to send some sort of delegate to some kind of con ference sometime next week somewhere in Yugoslavia." "Sure, Bill," I snickered. "I've heard something about it but I didn't get the details until just now." Anyhow, I accepted. Den tzer made some kind of unfunny joke about the Bulgarian Army massing at the Yugoslav border and disappeared into the crowd. I called my parents long dis- . tance. I took the whole three minutes to convince them I wasn't drunk. Then I called my date for the German dance. "Hello, Sweetie Pie. Gotta break the date. I'm going to Yugoslavia." She hung up on me. We cranked up the Plymouth and sped southward, arriving in Chapel Hill at 9:30 p.m. Sunday night.. I strangled some clothes, buried them in a suitcase, grabb ed pants, pocketbook, and pass port, and dashed to Greensboro. After spending eight minutes at home I hopped the midnight train for New York. Got to New York before noon and went to the Yugoslav Con sulate where they gave me a smile, a warm handclasp, a fif teen day visa, a round trip ticket, and a thick, black, miser able cigarette. Now I've got to run. I'll write later. disregard on the part of the Publications Board for the best and most authoritative opinions available on the issues involved. Let's look at the facts. During the hearings of the Publications Board the Editor of the Paper, - its Business Manager, the Fac its Business Manager, the Facul ty Advisor to the Board and the professional advisor to the Board all supported the small paper. This group of people represents , that opinion j tiat. i should demand , the highest re spect from the Pub,;";-'? T. ' by Joe Ho Riff - by Raff What would you do if you met a guy at a football game and he asked whether you would like to fly to Yugoslavia the next day? Nine Y court cowboys out of ten would probably smell his breath and inquire as to his vertical stability, but that last adventure-possessed Balboan bred Carolina gentleman would, no" doubt, be the pride of the Piedmont Barry Farber. There we, were the Carolina representatives at Byrd ' Sta dium. The first half was over and without the hunger for franks or the call of the Judney, Farmer leaves his seat in search of something he knew not what. The magnetic masterdom of ad venture overtook our helium hero and he just went for a walk around the horseshoe. The conversation went something like this, "Barry, how are you? I've been looking all over for you. Been trying to see you for the last three days." "Hey Bill, what are you doing here," replied the old sea dog. "Farber, you want to go to Yugoslavia?" -' "Yeah, Bill. When?" "Tomorrow." 5 "Okay." ; - ; Not the most enlightening conversation ever recorded, but, nevertheless, true. The other half of the two-way parley was "Bill Dentzer, Ohio student from Muskingum Col lege and president of the Nation al Student's Association. Mars hall Tito was having a little get together for the boys of the world and Dentzer couldn't at- tend. Naturally our triple-triple-threat (nine language speaking) linguist was elected to the post. Zagreb, Yugoslavia was waiting and Farber was packed. The- following hours were hectic. Each minute was filled with European protocol, pass port packing, cross-country phone calls, and garrilous good byes "I'm going to Yugoslavia r There was hardly time to make Farber's mother believe he wasn't higher than W.C Fields on New Year's, much less to re late the whys and wherefores of his trans-oceanic flight. A youthr convention in Zagreb is hardly a convincing statement on a football week-end in Col lege Park. Well, our Iron-Curtain Issa dor, The Balkan Barry Bolshe vist, will be back in three weeks. Until that time we will receive columns from our behind -the-barricade, cold-war correspon dent. . f Farber stated as he boarded the Swiss Airline, ship at Idle wind in New York, "Now that I am the good-will ambassador for .American students I leave one remaining and. repeated thought-Eat, drink,'and be merry for tomorrow we all. may be radio-active." are most immediately concerned with putting out a newspaper. And who supported the large paper? A coed who has no offi cial job in publications, a col umnistand the President of the Board. And yet the Board voted 5-1 for the large paper. This action represents , a new low in Student Government re sponsibility. (Tlnrrmit
