APATHY ..... ..... .... .... '
Last Thursday afternoon Secretary of Labor Maurice
Tobin deserted his busy office in Washington, and boarded a
plane for Chapel Hill. He felt spending an evening sharing
his first-hand knowledge-. of America' labor problems with
interestefl college students was time well invested.
WhenJTobin assumed the rostrum in Memorial Hall he
faced an audience of. less than two hundred students and
townspeopleafter he had waited thirty minutes to begin.
Inother words, only one out of thirty three students elected
to take advantage of this stellar opportunity to hear America's
labor chief state his views, answer questions, and then join
in an informal reception to discuss in greater detail any topic
presented him concerning our country's tense labor situation.
The turnout was so deplorable that the Carolina Political
Union sent an emergency request to the Student Legislature
asking that it recess to Memorial Hall in order to fill up at
least fifty of the fifteen hundred vacant seats.
Thursday night was not the first time the Legislature has
been called upon to "pack" a near-empty house. Earlier in the
year the solons were rushed into Hill Hall to spare the Indo
nesian ambassador the exquisite humiliation of talking to
himself. One student remarked it might be a good idea to
"allocate a portion of the student activities fund to hire an
ever-ready battalion of speech
The Daily Tar Heel realizes the futility of sermonizing
to a siothful student body that remains content to walLow in
a stagnant quagmire of lethargy; All the piercing prose we
could muster would never lure unconcerned students away
from the books and beer mugs for an occasional evening of
enlightment. And the irony of the situation is that the CPU
invited lobin to Carolina lor the expressed purpose of en
couraging student interest in national and international af
fairs. - ' . '
Wake up, everybody! There are countless treasures to be
gained by occasionally peering beyond the confines of our
own little bailiwick. Weare looking forward to the day when
a distinguished speaker on matters of global concern will come
to Chapel Hill and attract as many students as a technicolor
musical. . . V
To the Carolina Political Union and other groups working
for a more aware student community we off er our enthusias
tic support. Keep up the laudable work and don't be dis
couraged by last Thursday night's resounding disgrace. Youv
face an up-hill struggle, but it's better to light a candle than
curse the darkness. - .

By Raff
In the May ". 8 issue of The
Daily Tar Heel the - editorial
of that day concerned the ap
pearance of Joe McCarthy, at
Princeton. The editorial was
pointedly interested in the
threat of men such as McCarthy
to America. Also in the editor
ial there was made mention of
a subject which was barely
touched, but-which I think is
more important than a room full
of finger-pointing senators.
The slighted subject was that
several students doubted the in
tegrity of Senator McCarthy and
questioned him on some of his
actions and accusations. There
is nothing unusual about this
except that other members of
. the audience jibed the young
sters with statements that they
were "intellectually twisted,"
others yelled ''Let the commies
talk . . .," and another suggested,
that the boys be sent to Korea
and returned to the United
States in baskets.
As I said, McCarthys are a
dime a dozen even in times of
inflation, but the real disgrace
js that people (as were these
students) are being surpressed
in an effort to speak their peace.
It takes a strong man to voice
an opinion now days. If his
thoughts are articulated and are ;
the least bit different from the
crowd about him, he is labeled
.'. with some nasty name. A fellow j
just has to mention Tito or
critisize McCarthy and he can't!
even join a motor club. ; j I ;
The fear...' of speaking is aj ;
dangerous threat to the well be-f j
, ing of our country. If a man;
hesitates to speak because he
is afraid what others will say,
can this be freedom of speech?
Has the attitude of the .Ameri
can people changed" that they
only sit back and approve of
freedom of speech but don prac
tice it? If this happens as it is
happening today and as it hap
pened at Princeton -what future
is left to us but to fall victim
to a horde of Joe McCarthys?
I have spoken to students who
are" afraid to join organizations
because of the name they may
have. Youth organizations with
more than . two syllablex titles
are shunned and worst of all
are the ones whose names are
abbreviated. -
r .. ..
It's a crying shame that here
where we pride ourselves so
much on our ability to speak
freely we are so indigantly
thwarted in our efforts to stand
up for what we think. Lord
knows McCarthy has certainly
had his share of speech freedom.
Now he and his followers are
trying to take i away from us
by sneer campaigns rabbit pun
ches. - ' " - ' : ' " " 1

Germans are coming around
again and. again the Carolina
Coeds will resumd the status of
"week day" dates, with their'
more fortunate sisters from
V other institutions enjoying the
big weekend.
. What is the factor that sends
the boys searching from Fair
banks to Cape Horn for dates?
Why do they go beating the
bushes and sounding the horn
for spare females when the
dorms are full of Coeds? It's
very simple. It is the Coed
drinking rule a sort of Coed
segregation. -
This ban on consuming alco
hol in the fraternity houses is
aimed at Coeds and it certainly
hits the mark. Most Coeds ob
serve Germans weekend from v
the dorm windows and . the
' slant of another bridge hand.
Amazingly enough, there are
Senior Coeds who have been to
every other function on campus
but Germans.
To have the Coeds and a
party, the male element has to
rent a cabin or adjoin to one of
the lakes. Money is a prime ele
ment after purchasing .German .
bids and so the expense of hir
ing a cabin can easily be out of
reach. So that leaves the logical
spot for a party, the fraternity
house, in the first place.
Thus the cabin gets finessed
and fso does the Coed. The Caro
lina male can have his big week- -end,
with an import or a small
evening at Lake Hogan with a
Coed., Oddly enough the import
always seems to win out.
So it is the Coed's place in
the sun all week long until
the weekend. Then the import
plague hits town. ,
I have a wish for the bottle
necks in South Building that
appear each year when repeal
of the Drinking Bill comes up.
Let the persons responsible
spend three whole nights inside
the dorms, listening to the un
ending couplaints of the Coeds.
Then maybe they would be more
liberal in governing the other
guy's freedom.

Miss Mary. Gray Clarke and
Mrs. Lydia Bernstein combined
their individual virtuosity in
Hill Music - Hall on Thursday
Evening, May 8, in a sensitive
. demonstration of good musician
ship and mutual understanding.
Miss Clarke handled her 'cello
with singular deftness, under
standing and concentration. Mrs.
, Bernstein's piano accompani
ment was accurate, sure and
? - brilliant, providing a sympathe
tic background for the reson
ance of Miss Clarke's instrument.
Three Sonatas comprised the
program and, at the audience's

Tartini cello concerto. The open

Recently there has been a
great deal of speculation con
cerning the erection of a . new
student union building in the
area where Emerson Field now
stands. The baseball field, in its
turn, would be moved to Navy
Field, the present practice field
for football and lacrosse, as well
as ROTC drill.
The problem is not so much
where and when to build the
building for the students, but
the question of whether or not
it is needed. Graham Memorial
is now theoretically the student's
building for recreation, reading
and talking, but a very small
percentage of the student body
use it at all. Mostly it is a place
for meetings, and offices for
The Daily Tar Heel and Yackety
Yack. If it is a new building
for such meetings that is planned
we cannot see the use. It would
merely prove the theory that
the University lays a brick with
every nickle it can squeeze
from the state.
The current argument is that
with a student union placed in
such a strategic spot about three
thousand students would pass
it every day going to. and from
Lenoir Hall. But would those
students bother to go inside and
play cards, ping-pong or chat
awhile unless they had specific
business? We., hardly think
there would be much more par
ticipation than there is now,
when about the same number of
students pass Graham Memorial
every day on their way to and
from town, and never bother to
darken its doors.
We sometimes wonder if the
University isn't over-rating its
popularity and importance, and
consequently over-building be
fore there is a need. '

More than 1,300 drivers lic

Carolina in April.
The N. C. Department of Motor
Vehicles collected $69,038 in fees

Opus 102 was played .with as
much clarity as was the Vivaldi
and withNmore intensity. This
Sonata, written in 1815, was
labeled a "Free Sonata", and
consists of two movements, each
with a slow and fast section.
Following intermission, Miss
Clarke and Mrs. Bernstejn en
thusiastically performed the
Samuel Barber Sonata in C
Minor, Opus 6. The emotional in
tensity of this contemporary
work was successfully realized
in its brilliant performance. Both
Miss Clarke and Mrs. Bernstein
demonstrated, as perhaps no
where else in the program, their
superb technical mastery and
intense feeling for the music.
The charming and succinct en-'
core number by Tartini was
rendered with the consistently
good musicianship that chara
cterized the entire program.
