Uoon i he New Horizo
Silhouettes Of Success?
A new horizon, good or bad,, has dawned as we assume with grati
tude and humility the editorship reins for the coming year.
Whether there will be silhouttes of success or failure upon this
horizon only time will tell. We can only be optimistic and hope for the
best. .
Candidates perennially direct an onslaught of promises "against -the
electorate during any campaign. Following the tradition, we leveled our
promise artillery on the student -
4
body. Our ammunition
down to this:
boiled
We pledged you the best stu
dent newspaper possible.
We shall keep Our promise. At
the same time, we" shall cast our
editorial eye upon the other suc
cessful candidates and expect them
to do likewise.
Should President Sonny Evans
fill the tremendous shoes be
queathed him by outgoing Presi
dent Bob Young, we shall have
no complaints in that area. Stu
dent government will flourish and
grow in statue.
Should the student Legislature,
as in the past assembly, take ac
tion on a rexovI-bfeakingii umber
of measures, we shall have only
Ii'-idetory words, for it.
Should the student judiciary
branch follow the trail blaed by
Student Council Chairman Luth-,
er Hodges and Honor Council
Chairmen Jim Exum and Miss Pat
McQueen, we - shall offer only
praises for it. Providing, of course,
the two judiciary bodies as is con
stitutionally stipulated" report
their actions periodically to The
Daily Tar Heel.

is no Toom for conv
.The new horizon always has
dark shadows of apathy cast upon
it, shadows lurking in wait for the
unwary and uninterested.
" The golden glow of success may
dominate the horizon if student
leaders assume their just responsi
bility, if they assume the necessary
initiative, if they fulllill their cam
paign promises.'
We shall anticipate success; we
shall congratulate the successful;
we shall not hesitate to criticize,
nor shall we condone failure.

So in response to the questions,
should we' expand our educational
facilities or should we make en
trance requirements more string
ent, educators have answered:
Down with the proletariat! (An
other vaque term) Let's educate
the favored few, of which I am
naturally a select member.
It's the same - type- . sentiment
which is evidenced -when a ,seJi"
aniiointed God looks down his nose
at "the man in the lower quad." ,
- So self-annointed Gods, to make
themselves feel smug and secure,
have assumed the head of the table
to serve a Last Supper to mral
children whose preparatory edu
cation doesn't always put them on
an equal plane with other pros
pective college entrants, to youth
everywhere who don't have the
economic advantage of prep school
training;
The menu for this Last Supper
is, inevitably, the coarse bread of
ignorance and the purple wine of
consolation consolation in the
form of "trade schools" and "vo
cational guidance."
In short, we don't like the idea
of stringent entrance requirements.
We-don't think them fair.
Education for the many, under
them, sags prostrate upon the
cross.

A young man from Raleigh who
entered the portals of this Uni
versity only last fall' has set an
example which seasoned student
leaders would do well to follow.
This young man, with no pre
vious experience, had chairman
ship of the Elections Board thrust
upon him abruptly. But Ik? ac
cepted the task and did a laudable
job.
Those who witnessed the "dis
crepancies" which occurred dur
ing the election last fall, before
Ralph Cummings took over, can
only offer praises for his work.
Congratulations for -a job Well
, done to Chairman Cummings -and
BUi-Weekes the entire Election Board.

Once -there were two islands
ec me distance apart, one of which
waj xnhabitied by brown monkeys'
and the Other by white monkeys.
The island of the brown monkeys
was half barren dessert and half
tropical swamp and there was no
fit place to live in the whole of it.
Consequently its inhabitants
were rather backward and stunted
in comparison to the white mon
keys wrhose island was a large,
fertile land upon which bananas
grew in great profusion.
As timf passed the white moo
keep the brown monkeys in a low
caste and to exclude , them from
things Vthai were meant for de
cent, that is to say white mon
keys. :'
Despite this, the brown mon
keys produced many famous doc
tors, artists, statesmen, scientists
and athletes. But some of the
white? protested that the whole
island would be better off if the
brown monkeys were granted full
equality. It was 'pointed out that
poor education, living conditions,
moral standards and health had
resulted from the supression, of
"Who -Me?" V
tired of hearing him scream and
put him away in a nice safe place
with a room full of brown dolls
and a bucket of white wash where
he could finish out his days in
bliss and oblivion.
Perhaps this is an odd parable,
but then monkeys always were
queer little beasts.

Congratulations to the Daily

keys grew prosperous and leisure
ly and began to dislike hard work
even though their prosperity de
pended upon it. At length some
one suggested that the business
of growing bananas was dirty
work and might well be more sui
tably delegated to the brown heat
hens in the other island. A boat
load of browTi monkeys was
brought over and. it was found
that indeed they worked well and
were inexpensive to maintain.
But not everyone agreed that
they should be slaves and event
ually a "war was fought and the
slaves set free. But the owners of
the banana trees -continued to
the brown monkeys.
About this time a great patriot,
the "Snow-White Ape," clearly a
superior being due to (he purity
of his hue, arose to the defense
of those who prdposed to main
tain the status quo and proclaim
ed that the brown monkeys were
biologically inferior. After . all,
were they not brown? He pointed
out that if you allowed them all
the privileges of the; white mon
keys you would, soon have inter
marriage and this would lead to
a mongrol breed no better than
custard colored.

less Fosdick. The three provide
the same recreation; readable to
kill time, light humor and to be
read only as such .by. any intelli
gent person.
In his address Dr. George uses
almost all the device? available
to sway opinion by oral attempt.
He appeals to religion, patriotism,
parental protection, quotes out of
context and uses incomplete sta
tistics, providing the whole with
a cloak of respectable scientific
evaluation by use of his position
with the University of North Carolina.
After a time everybody
jot The professor contends that
through intermarriage and the re
sulting offspring that we" will gra
dually become a race of negroid
'peoples. Yet in the early-part ol
his address he offers the fact that
Negroes constitute only 10 per
cent of the population.
i He has the gall to submit to
intelligent people that this 10 per
cent will corrupt the blood lines
of the other 90 percent and that in
the corruption the negroid strain
will predominate. It seems that
mathematically the converse
would be true.
Through all the professor's
rambling he has failed to offer
any factual evidence to support
his contention that the Negro is
biologically inferior. What he ac
tually does is to use the present
undisputed shortcomings of the
Negro as "proof" of his inferior
ity. It is a sorry logic indeed
which take- the results of segre
gation as a reason for its contin
uance. It seems that the professor's
action is speaking before a gath
ering of students and faculty of
another university in such a ridi
culous manner would certainly
lower the -opinion of the Univer
sity of North Carolina in the eyes
of everyone hearing or reading
the professor's address.
AswPogo might say. "I can see
how he can do it, but I can't see
why he would want to do it."

On March 29 the following pa
ragraph appeared in an article
which a Lenoir student worker
had written for The Dairy Tar
Heel:
"This obviously was means
to vend icate himself with Len
oir Hall management. This dip
lomatic error by White could
be the dealth knelt for our de
mands which are practical and
we 1 1 -meif1 ng .
Since the publication of this
article many people have asked
me, "Is this true?" My answer to
this question is a most emphatic,
"No". It is immaterial if the man
ager's opinion of me be unfavor
able because I am supporting a
movement for the betterment of
Lenoir Student Workers. I have
in the past expressed a desire for
a change in the system of pay
ment to Lenoir student workers,
and I will nit under any circum
stances stop efforts to help reach
this gola.
It will not be too long before
someone will have to give in, and
I may assure you that it will not
be me nor any worker of Lenoir
llalk We were restrained in our
efforts ,a short rtime due to the
unfavorable pressure -which Len
oir Hall managers are so capable
of exerting, but we will never
stop until the demand? are met
Our demands are most practical
that the student workers at Len
oir Hall receive compensation for
their work.
To these ends the crusade will
continue, not only by Lenoir Hall
workers, but -also by other inter
ested students.

In recent months there has been much agita
tion for a new student union building such as the
Cow College students enjoy. A committee has worked
diligently to this end, and both political parties have
pledged their support for thL cause.
I should like to state several reasons why we
don't need a new union, for the benefit of students,
administration, trustees, and members of the State
Legislature who might be interested.
Graham Memorial Activities Board doesn't need
more office space. Mike Strong always doe- his best
work on tiie table in the hall.
The National Students Association doesn't need
an office, because who knows what good they can
do anyway.
Why should the veep of the. student body have
an office? The speaker's chair in Phi Hall should
suffice.
The Carolina Forum, Publications Board, NSA,
Pan-Hellenic,' Valkyries, Grail, etc. are all very cozy
in their cubicle, all 200 (?) square feet of it.
The Orientation Committee is aL-o content with
their 10'xlQ'.
The Daily Tar Heel enjoys working in a crowded
office. It makes for more intimate relations, con
fusion, and errors.
Why should we have more space for organization
al meetings? The organizations are legion, but they
have three Roland Parker Lounges in which to meet.
Why have more space?
I don't really think that students would enjoy
a modern bowling alley, table tennis room, or mod
ern pool (excuse me, billiards.) room. Carolina stu-'
dent just don't have an interest in such ephemeral
pursuits. (Besides that, it's always best to wait in
line for a cue, your games means more that way.)
Briefly, these are just a few of the many reasons
why we don't need a new student union building.
You can probably think of many more.
Are We Gyped
On State Vote
The Franklin Press
In a bridge game, if all the aces were given one
player before the cards were dealth, there'd be an
exchange of hard words among the ladies.
If it were poker, the exchange probably would
be of j-o me thing harder than words.
Yet that is exactly trie way a large proportion of
North Carolina's citizens are short-changed on their
voting, every two years. For though the state senate
is supposed to represent 'population alone, 65O,(X)0
North Carolinians elect almost twice as many mem-
bers of the senate as another group of nearly a nil
lioiu Six hundred fifty 'thousand -can but-votc a
million, and by a margin of nearly two to one.
The reason that is true is because the General
Assembly "shall" re-allot 'senators, after each census,
in line with population changes.
If it were bridge or poker, there'd be a row. But,
since it is merely citizenship rights. North Carolin
ians take it with never a camplaint.
WC Plans Dance
For UNC Men
Editor:
April 6 should prove to be one of the most en
joyable of the year. It is Consolidated University
Day at Woman's- College, in Greensboro.
The girls under the leadership of Mary Mahoncy,
have planned a terrific chain of activities to enter
tain ther guests. Each dormitory on W. C.'s campus
will hold open house prior to a dance. At the same
time, weather permitting, their band will be giving
a concert on the lawn in the quad. The dance (in
formal) will be held from 8:30-12 in the ballroom of
Elliot Hall, at a price of 50 cents.
The Consolidated University Student Council will
meet at 2 p.m. in Elliot Hall.

As a sneak preview of the major league baseball
season, two exhibition games are being televLvd
oday. On Channel 2 at 2:15 the Cleveland Indians
take on the New York Giants; on Channel 5 fifteen
minutes later, the Brooklj-n Dodgers meet the Mil
waukee Braves.
This evening at 8, Jackie Gleason returns to
Channel 2 with more of the Kramdens and the Nor
tons. Perry Como, on Channel 5 at the same hour,
features UNC alumnus Jack PaJance, along with
Teresa Brewer and the Stepp Brothers. The choice
ij obvious, except to dyed-in-the-wool Cleason ad
dicts. Mr. Palance and Miss Brewer need no intro
duction; the Stepp Brothers are one of the finest
dance teams around.
Those interested in art, and particularly in sculp
ture, will enjoy Channel 4's "Art and Artists" pres
entation at 8 p.m. The subject, this evening is an
analysis of Henry Moore and h'u work.
'At 8:30, Channel 4 continues its discussion cf
Africa, tonight concentrating on South Africa and
its history.
The Sid Caesar show, on Channel. 5 at 9 p.m.,
promises more of the same routines which have
carried Sid and crew through the past season. Many
of hia programs have been pretty thin of late, but
, the star himself is fun to watch.
Tomorrow evening, Graham Mem&nal Otiigu-la."
