The Eyes Of Texas
Probably many students haven't noticed the disappearance
of a tall gray-haired and mild-mannered Texan.
If they knew Dr. Logan Wilson, now president of the
University of Texas at Austin, they may have known that he
was Academic Vice-President and Provost of the Consolidated
University. What that title meant, however, to students, would
be a good quesion. : ' '
Dr. Wilson's duties were largely "unpublicied" as Presi
dent Gordon Gray points out. When Gray first came here
two years ago, he knew that he needed a right hand man in
academic affairs, for after all, one of the chief consolidation
aims was to provide for an integrated curriculum for all three
branches-
The main problem facing Dr. Wilson was probably "Who
should do what?" Is that a State College job, a task for Woman's
College, or should the University at Chapel Hill handle the
work? This allocation of functions was a matter of chief con
cern to Dr. Wilson during his short two year stay. Other
duties of his post included the composition of a consolidated
faculty manual, in which identification on policies of tenure,
etc., were stated, a "Who's Who" of the Greater UNC, and
committee leadership on varied acadmic matters, including
the educational television work. Dr. Wilson sliced in half
Gray's burden in the most trying of times for the former Sec
retary of the Army. Here was a transitional period of the
most difficult type. A man trained to administer newspapers
and armies, had to begin all over again and administer a great
University, over 12,000 strong. Dr. Wilson made possible
the concentration of Gray's efforts in other equally important
areas, areas that might not have been touched if such a po
sition had not been created.
Mr. Gray described the departure of Dr. Wilson for the
Lone Star state as a "real loss to all three institutions. He noted,
"I'm sorry that they had the wisdom to offer him the job. .
We regret that he received the "call from Texas but not that
he saw fit to take it."
It is always difficult for students, particularly, to visualize
the program of the Consolidated University- It seems that
the State Legislature's Advisory Budget Commission has the
same difficulty. (The Commission refused a request for the
inclusion of salaries for the academic vice-president's job and
others connected with Gray's office). If we are at Chapel
Hill, then we want Chapel Hill to be first on the lists for
consideration. This applies to students at State and W. C.
The purpose of consolidation, however, is one of economy
of effort, greater utilization of resources, and development of
an enlarged program for the benefit? of all citizens of the
State. Dr. Wilson's post is a key one, and his departure leaves
a vacancy that will be hard to fill.
The Daily Tar Heel recommends that Greater UNC seeks
out another scholar, one with a broad educational background
and a man with a cooperative nature who will continue and
enlarge upon the programs already initiated by Dr. Wilson.

Everybody's Going to Connor
Dorm Today, Are You?
The Open House at Connor
dorm, between three and five this
afternoon, is rather a, significant
event. It is important not only to
the graduate students, but to all
the campus. For this is the first
time that visiting privileges have
been granted a men's dorm.
Today's gathering will mark a
milestone in the school's social
life, and more particularly in the
graduate social life. And, as they
say in the movies, it happened
because of years of planning and
hard work on the part of a deter
mined group of people. The Com
mittee that finally put it across
was made up of Earl Diamond,
Paul Somerville, Conrad Warlick,
Dan Fabb, and Jay Hodes. Those '
graduate students who have taken
the time to climb out of their
self-imposed shells of academic '
boredom will know that all of
these men have contributed a
great deal to this campus, besides
being good scholars in the pro
cess. Earl was one of the stal
warts behind the successful but
short lived run of the Graduate
Club last year.
Indeed, Connor dorm has been
the main, perhaps the only force
behind what few social activities
the graduate students have had.
The open houses at that building,
and the dances at Kenan, are hte
bright spots on an otherwise rath
er dull mural of graduate life.
And they are important spots too.
Many graduate students are able
to convince themselves that they
have much too much work to do
to get out and mingle with others.
Every once and a while they are
right, but more often it is simply
a handy rationalization to cover
up a plain social laziness. To the
students who argue that we are
here to learn, I say "granted."
But we are also here to become
academic people, not academic
minds. We live in a milieu of
other individuals, and if we would
enjoy life to the utmost, we must
learn to get along wtih ourfr neigh
bors. We should, perhaps, imitate
the undergraduate in this respect,
just making sure we don't carry it
quite so far.
But getting back to the men at
Connor (and I sincerely urge you
to go to Connor today) they de
serve a lot of credit for their
work. And so do some others.
This action has (been made out as
a battle royal between the stu
dents and the administration.
This makes good newspaper copy,
but it is not the whole story.
There have been many folks in
South Building working along
with the students most of the
time. The main force acting
. against the scheme was tradition,
and you can't blame that on any
particular individual. Today's
open house should be regarded
more as a cooperative success,
than a smashing victory. So to the
folks in the administration, who
usually get more brick-bats than
flowers, this columnist would like
to say, "thanks a lot." Ditto to
the students who had a finger in
it.
There remains but one thing
for the fellows in Connor to do.
That involves solving a rather
difficult paradox. There is little
doubt that the graduate students,
more than any others, needed a
place of their own to meet. Yet
one very much fears that they
will not take advantage of it.
Graduate students sort of float
around in an academic limbo,
isolated from each other, and
from the rest of the students on
campus. They come here, live
here, and leave here, without
ever getting to meet many of the
really wonderful people who make
Chapel Hill their temporary or
permanent address. Lost in a dis
ciplinary specialization, they soon
fall into a social sone. Today's
party offers a chance to begin the
breakdown of that isolation. Let's
make it a good start.
AT N. Y. U.
Student reaction to a recent
snowfall on the New York Uni
versity campus evoked the follow
ing statement from two NYU
deans:
"When snow is on the campus,
we ask you to please refrain from
throwing snowballs in front of
the buildings, into or out of class
room windows, and along heavily-travelled
walks and roads . . ."
And so another of life's little
pleasures is restricted.
RAH!
In Richmond, Ind., after seeing
her first football game, three-year-old
Candice Elias, daughter
of the Richmond High School
coach, devised a new bedtime
prayer: "God bless Mommy, God
bless Daddy, Rah, rah, rah, rah."

Once, many, many years ago,
there was a first-class confidence
man in an ancient civilization,
who saw the follies of man, and
how easy most persons could be
hoodwinked.
And this man saw that people
wished to be "cultured" above
all things, and would pay all sorts
of money to reach that goal. They
bought pictures, went to concerts,
and read books, all to be cultured.
And all those who called them
selves cultured were constantly
on the lookout for new art, music,
and literature.
And a great inspiration came
upon this first-class confidence
man. He said to himself, "I will
create new art, music, and lit
erature for all these cultured
folks."
First, he decided to enter the
field of art. Gathering around
him several kinds of paints, he
took a smidgin of this, and a bit
of that, and a little of this, closed
his eyes, and smeared it all to
gether on a piece of canvas. When
he looked it was horrible.
"Ah, just what I wanted," he
exclaimed. And off he went to
the nearest art exhibit, to enter
his painting.
And all the patrons strolled by
to gaze at all the cultured paint
ings. But when they came to the
confidence man's painting, they
all stopped and stared.
"Ah, my friends," said the con
fidence man, "I see you recognize
true genius at a glance."
And each patron turned to the
other, and said, "Yes, it is won.
derful, isn't it?" Because they
didn't wish to show their ignor
ance of true culture.
LAND OF THE FREE
"The increasing divorce rate is
rapidly making America the land
of the free, all right," a visiting
Englishman said to an American
friend.
"Yes," said the American, a
somewhat hen-pecked husband,
"but the marriage rate is increas
ing too, showing that America is
still the home of the brave."

The paintings were shown all
around the land, and all who
wished to be cultured mused, "I
don't understand it, so it must be
great." And they called the con
fidence man blessed.
But the peasants were ignorant,
and lacked feeling for the finer
things of life. And one peasant
said to another, "It is just a garble
of colors, and is utterly sense
less." And the cry went up among
all who heard.
And great cultured persons all
over the land rose to the defense
of the modernistic art. They used
much space and many spoken and
printed words to express the feel
ings and artistic expressions
shown in the paintings.
And other artists also seriously
began to paint the new modern
istic kinds of paintings, and a
whole new school of art was
founded.
But the first-class confidence
man had by now tired of his
sports, and was fabulously
wealthy from his paintings. So he
decided to reveal the truth about
his paintings. And he stood be
fore the world, and said, "The
paintings were all hoaxes. There
was no meaning to them at all.
It was all a joke to play on you
would-be cultured people."
However, the cultured folks and
the critics and the artists all rose
up, and decried the words of the
confidence man. "Oh, yes, your
paintings did depict great inner
emotions and feelings, whether
you knew it or not, and you are
unconsciously a genius." And
none would believe they could
have been fooled so thoroughly.
But this was, of course, many,
many years ago in another civil
ization, which crumbled with the
advance of time and learning.
And today we rejoice that men
could never be fooled by such a
confidence man. For after all, to
day our artists are sensible, and
the people are sensible, and they
would never stand for such tom
foolery. Ah, it's wonderful to be living
in the age of enlightenment!

Norman Jarrard
Review
All campus coffee-cup and dor
mitory philosophers and some
who are more advanced should
run a copy of Bertrand Russell's
Unpopular Essays (Simon & Schu
ster, $1.00). It will provide some
good lean meat to go along with
the fat that is chewed in the or
dinary bull-session. Since sex and
women are frequent topics among
the men (I wont presume to
speak for co-eds), knowledge of
the greatest living philosopher's
opinion on the subject should
make anyone automatically one
up on his opponent in any dis
cussion. Such opinions are scat
tered here and there in the book.
At one place he talks about the
times when sex is and isn't "sin."
He says, "One eminently orthodox
Catholic divine laid it down that
a confessor may fondle a nun's
deletion, provided he does it with
out evil intent." But, as Russell
goes on to say, "I doubt whether
modern authorities would agree
with him on this point."
There are many other things in
this book, though. Altogether
there are twelve relatively short
essays (although the cover adver
tises fourteen). The thread that
holds them together is Russell's
consistent opposition to any and
all kinds of dogmatism, or, stated
affirmatively, support of the Lib
eral creed of "live-and-let-live, of
toleration and freedom so far as
public order permits, of modera
tion and absence of fanaticism
in political programs."
Appropriately, the longest es
say is titled "An Outline of In
tellectual Rubbish," from which
the above quotation was taken. In
it he discusses "sillinesses of our
day" and former times. A reader
may want to turn to it first, be
fore turning to more serious
parts. A less interesting essay is
"The Functions of a Teacher," in
which Russell sees part of the
business of teachers in endeavor
ing to "instill into the young the
habit of impartial inquiry, lead
ing them to judge issues on their
merits and to be on their guard
'against accepting ex parte state
ments at their face value." Other
essays that I particularly liked
were the following with a quota
tion from each: "Philosophy and
Politics"; "That Plato's, Republic
should have been admired, on its
. political side, by decent people
is perhaps the most astonishing
example of literary . snobbery in
all history"; "Philosophy's Ulter
ior Motives": "I should define it
'philosophy) rather as 'an un
usually ingenious attempt to think
fallaciously"; '"Ideas That Have
Helped Mankind": "If we wish to
understand natural laws, we must
get rid of every kind of ethical
and aesthetic bias"; and "Ideas
That Have Harmed Mankind": "It
is one of the drawbacks to asce
ticism that it sees no harm in
pleasures other than those of
sense, and yet, in fact, not only
the best pleasures, but also the
worst, are purely mental."
All this is topped by Russell's
own "Obituary", in which he says,
, "His principles were curious, but,
such as they were, they governed
his actions." Another of his books
within the means of students is
The Conquest of Happiness, Sig
net, 25c.

Yourself
Editor:
Hissss . . . no, you are not in
the Reptile Division of the Bronx
Zoo, but rather in the Carolina or
Varsity Theatres here in Chapel
Hill. Any night you might feel
brave enough to sally forth and
attempt to enjoy a movie, (which,
by the way, Hollywood tells us
are getting better than ever, and
I might name "Pony Soldier",
"Flat Top", "The Wizard of Oz")
you will invariably prick up your
ears at some wierd sound that
would seem to be the mating cry
of the East Indian Cobra (backed
by Percy Faith and the Crew).
What you hear is the war cry of
the Chapel Hillian Cobra, species
Collegus, josephus. (References
taken from Carl Ditmar). Whether
it be a good or bad movie, half
the lines will be lost in this veri
table onslaught of hisses and you
will need to take you a portable
combination radar - snorkel-sonar
system to pick up any lines of the
dialogue that might accidentally
seep through. If Truman's picture
is flashed on the screen . . . Hiss.
If President Eisenhower's . . .
Hissss. I don't doubt that if the
countenance of Zapata, Pogo,
(Copyright 1952 Walt Kelly All
Rights Reserved) or Disgusting
Yokum were flashed on the result
would be the same. Please, in the
future for the sake of those who
would like to enjoy the movie let
us confine this imitation of a
giraffe with laryngitis and hoof
and mouth disease (mit complica
tions yet) to the Jan Garber
shorts, pictures of McCarthy (not
of E. Bergen fame), or stuff like
"Ride the Nag Down" or Mack
Sennett comedies and let us leave
the good pictures alone.. Guess
everybody will read this, laugh,
throw the paper away and wonder
who wrote it. Let's go watch the

WORKING OUR WAY
The old romantic concept that
students who work their way
through college get more out of
it was dealt a low blow recently
by an administrator at Michigan
State Normal college, whose sur
vey of students working showed
that but of 110 students surveyed,
29 had less than a C average and'
12 withdrew before the semester
ended.
