LetV Entertain Trustees
In An informative Manner
The idea ol having Carolina's lady trustees visit the campus lor a
coupletof days is r very jjfood one. It is so ood that a similar visit should
be arranged soon lor male members of the Hoard of Trustees.
About the only contact most trustees have with the student body
is a stilted, formal one that , comes vhei the Visiting Committee visits.
A lew minutes ?re allotted fur the students, and student leaders and the
Visiting Committee subcommittee haeia Lenoir Hall meal and shoot'
formal bull for a little while and
then it 'is -over. The students rush what Samuel Magi II,-' director of
bark home and take off" their ties student activities, called a "crisis"
in student leadership; it also neg-
lectcd the homosexual problem the
I'niversity is facing, the increas
ing pressure of South Huilding up
on student freedoms, the fact, that
men are st: ; ked three to a room in
many dormitories, ihat workers in
Lenoir Hall are gel ting-a raw deal
from the I'niversity instead of de
cent payment, that there are quite
a lew freshmen here who have oars
illegally iti Chapel Hill, that fra
ternity haing still goes-on. and lit
tle is being done to stop it, that
students ate being thrown into this
machine-like Cniveiity system and
tinned loose to get out the best
wav they can. v

Verv little can be gained this
wav in the area of understanding'
the problems and the triumphs of
the student lxdyv tVoot ol ihis is in
writing in the-Yisitiug Commit
tee's report to the. Hoard of Trus
tees. Of the student ImkU at the
Woman's College, the report said:
The commit teivinet a group of
iS students elected to .head the
leading organizations on the camp
us . . . They hoped the chancellor
for Woman's College .would be
young and forward-looking . . .
All members of the committee
were favorably impressed with the
poise, the seriousness of purjAse
and the happy spirit exhibited by
these girls."
At . C. State College in Ral
eigh it was a similar story. The re
port says:
"Student morale and leadership
is good. We were impressed "with
the sincerity and "maturity of the
students and the judgment shown
in considering and discussing the
problems . . .' Students are in
tensely interested in the problem
of securing and ' keeping good
teachers."
For
Hill:
the lTniversity at Chapel
" In the realm of student activi
ties, there is much to be commend
ed. I 'aider the leadership of Mr.
Robert Young, president of the
student body, and others occupy
ing positions of prominence in stu
dent affairs, morale on the camp
us is high; respect for the honor
code and the campus code seems
to be widespread, and the students
appear to be exercizing sound ma
ture judgment in solvipg their
problems. ''
How the Visiting Committee
came up with these impressions in
only a few hours spent with stu
dent leaders we. do not know.
Although Bob, Young is by far
the beU student ImmIv president in
recent yrars. morale here is not high
(except after Carolina wins a bas
ketball game): respect for the. hon
or and campus codes may le wide
spread, but it certainly isn't very
deep, and the students appear to
be solving their.; problems in the
typical student ways.

We surest a small itouj' of
rominent male ti nstees. and a few
not so prominent, come spend a
week on the campus. Let them
visit the police station, let them
talk to the University psychiatrist,
let them attend meetings, let them
walk alone late at night in the
halls of the' men's dormitories, and
let them get involved 1n fights with
pressuried shining cream.
Let them walk through the Li
brary ; 1 the floors and Jet 'them
sit in the beer joints, I Jet them at
tend parties and let them pick. up
a tired freshman pledge, stumbling
up the road to Glen Lennox, "tt - r,
in the morning.
ljet them get up early in the
morning with the students who de
liver this newspaper, and let them
get coffee late at night with the
student government leaders who
actually worry about what all this
is actually coming to.
We think. -.it , would do a latL
good, ImmIi for the trustees and for
the rest of the University and the
students. -
Arts Are
Necessary
r.
. For Coeds
The dean of women was right.
Women students, most of them at
least, need a I 3eral arts back-
ground from college.
Dean of Women Katharine Car
michael was correct 'when she said
this week:
"... I think that the women
d V not become, too greatly spec
ialized "ioo early. Hence I agree
t hat the usual practical expectation
for the college woman shdnld be
,voursc work in the liberal arts."
Loo many coeds are being grad
uated from this and other, insti
tutions. ' knowing- pi : rtically noth
ing but how to behave at a party,
how hot to behave, or how to
catch a husband. Many, of them
have only a passing connection
with tli- humanities, the liberal
arts. Thfv appear remember,
we're talking about wmic of them
to believe such stuff, won't help
them later on.
Schooling in the humanities and
i he airs never hurt amne's brain.
It would be very good for the co
eds, whether or not they catch a
husband. ,
Suggestion
To the gentlemen who play
.basketball for the University of
North Carolina:
IMeayc, gentlemen, quit waiting
until the last minute to win those
ballgames. We know you know
you're goiug to win, all along, and
just want to. produce a thrilling
game, but you're having serious
repercussions on the campus.
Two panty raids in the same
night, yet! And no one knows how
many sweaty palms, shaky knees
and chewed fingernails. .
Bryan Woods
In Xohe Dome - Scholastic
If you have at last decided that
you too wish to join the growing
ranks of the . campus pseudos,
this is for you. But before we
come dovm to a practical, dis-;
cussion of what it takes: let's
first examine the word.
There is a controversy as. to
how it should be pronounced.
Some hold for "pa-sway-do" or
'p-sway-do" as in "blue psuede-,
shoes." The majority "though
seem to favor 'Sue-dough."
'Anyway it's short for pseudo
intellectual. In other words, a
fUe or imitation intellectual.
. Now a necessary part of being
intellectual is having intelligence
In other words know something.
So a pseudo is a person who pre
tends to know something.
But, if he did know something,
he wouldn't have to pretend, so
he obviously knows nothing.
What's the point of all this? It
just goes to show that anyone
can be a pseudo.
If intelligence or knowledge
isn't required, the field Ls wide
open. You t?o can be a pseudo.
Don't let them tell you that you
have to be in AB.
Even Commerce men ought to
be able to fit the above require
ments. Now that you have made up
your mind, you will wonder just
how ym go about it Instead of
merely listing some rules. I am
going to give some examples of
the pseudo in action.
Suppose you walk into a group
end the conversation is about lit
erature. Don't think that the
fact that you stopped reading
when you finished the "Hardy
Boys" scries stops you.
Chances are the others stopped
with Raggedy Ann. Wait for an
opening and say something like.'
"What did you, think of Jean
Paul Sartre's last book?" 1 guar
antee that this will stop all but '
the cleverest.
But just in case you run into
an old pro who comes back with
"Very interesting, but do you
think he really justifies his con
clusions?" all you have to do is
shrug your shoulders, say, "Oh
well, you know how those French
intellectuals are," and change
the subject.
Another example. Suppose
the talk is about modern art.
Just say "Now take Picasso. Of
course his technique is excell
ent, but do you think he's real
ly 9t the spirit of art?" What
could anyone possibly say to a
remark like that?
One thing to remember. If
the majority likes something,
you are against it. The majority
can be referred to as the "peas
ants," the "herd," or "the great
unwashed." You can even take a
chance on "other-directed" which
has the added advantage that
they might not understand what
"other-directed people" are.
If they are foolish enough to
ask, just give them a withering,
"where have you been for the
last 18 years?" stare. They won't
press the point. A writer or art
ist who has made money is guilty
of "selling his soul for the al
mighty dollar."
Now that you have these few
hints, you ought to be able to
L'i! Abner
take it from there. Use your
imagination and you can come
up with dozens more genuine
pseudo remarks.
If you want a simple rule, just
preface every, pontifical pro
nouncement with "Aristotle says
. . .'."' (Of course, if you are away
from the Dome you may want to
change it to "Nietzche says . . .
for the -sake of those who haven't
been exposed to the Aristotelian
. tradition.) , ; , . "
As far as clothes go, of course
you will dress in the. "Natural
Look." (Never, never use Ivy
League, unless you want to spoil
everything.) You might also, let
it be known . that .'.""I've been
dressing this way for years, and
how all of a sudden all the peas
ants are hopping on the band
wagon." (Be sure though that the
trunk containing your pegged
pants and Mr. B shirts from
freshman year is locked.)
There are other incidentals
that always' help, such as con
tempt for the so-called mass me
dia and so forth, but you ought
to be able to take it from there.
For your convenience though I
have composed a list of a few of
the more common pseudo ex
pressions, complete with defini-'
tions.
NOUVEAU RICHE 'People
with more money than you.
INFERIORITY COMPLEX A
psychic malady which causes
other people to act differently
from your inhibitions morals.
GOOD TASTE What you're
wearing.
A PROVINCIAL Doesn't
live near you.
A PHONY A person who
tries to be what you are natural-
IM
MATURE PERSON You.
IMMATURE PERSON The
girl who jilted you.
ALCOHOLIC Someone who
drinks more than you.
SOCIAL DRINKER A per
son who drinks as much as you.
BOURGEOISIE People in the
income brackets below you.
BOHEMIANS People who
like Elvis.

Editor:
This (following) is a compo
sition of Brett T. Summey. a
recent graduate of Carolina, who
wrote it as his final adieu to
UNC. I think it is very good,
and hope that you will find it
worthy of print in The Daily Tar
Heel. Maybe it will serve as an
inspiration to some faltering stu
dent. If so. it will have served its
purpose.

Television Preview:
Climax And Dragnet
Anthony Wolff
"Climax," one of the consistently competent, if
rarely excellent, television dramatic hours is on
Channel 2 at 8:30 p.m. Tonight's play is about a
vindicated ex-convict who returns to the scene of
the crime of which foe has been proven innocent.
"Dragnet" is opposite on Channel 5, if you can
stand the monotony.
For the hour-and-a-half starting at 9:30 you are
invited to watch "Playhouse 90" on Channel 2. Tnis
show has been one of the major disappointments of
the year, and this week's presentation doesn't prom
ise to redeem its reputation. It concerns the strug
gl of the first American woman doctor to gain rec
ognition from the medical profession. The nurs
ing students might be interested in the subject
matter, while the males on campus might enjoy
Joanne Dru.

YOU Said It:
Appreciation Needed
Editor:
After witnessing the touching tribute paid last
Friday night to one of the University's "great"
men, I would like to make a few suggestions.
Men like Frank McGuire, through long years of
study and preparation, have given to Chapel Hill
a name that it deserves among the finest universi
ties in the country. There have been other men,
however, who through long unselfish devotion to
the student have made the classrooms of this camp
us an intellectual haven for students from every
state of the nation.
Therefore, may I suggest to our all too gener
ous alumni that a special fund be set up on behalf
of these professors.' Some kind of tribute,, whether
it be in the form of a four wheeled trophy cr
sealed envelope, or just a standing ovation from
the student body, should be presented after 20
years of servfee. - t
I say 20 years because I fully realize their in
abilities to accomplish the things that the great
strategist of Woollen Gym has done in his year
stay. '
In conclusion I would like to quote the senator
who, addressing Dogpatch's citizens in the Broad
way hit, "Little. Abner," . r,ays the United States
Government is spending 1 million dollars on one
bomb, just to blow your homes off the face of the
earth. So show your appreciation.
