The cynic wsuld say it was a tempest in a teapot, but we contend differently: . t Student government at this "cusd" and discussed institution has, in the past, enjoyed a position of prominence among other col leges and universities. As proof,. we have contributed two presidents to the National Student Association, composed of leading institutions throughout the nation, in its bare decade of existence. Our primary responsibility a governing ourselves and half of freedom is responsibility is discipling ourselves. ' Thus When' students go to the polls to elect members of a student judiciary with p;wer to remove a"' student from school, to. elect members: of a -Student ' Legislature with authorty to appropriate a $100,0Q0-plus budget, to elect an executive with vat appointive . powers, they should go in numbers and relish their democratic priviledge'.' 3l' ' ''! Tuesday's election in which approximately 40 per cent fo the student body casfballots is a mockery "of " the word insensibility.-" True it is a small improvement over last-fall's 38. per cent. But such participation remains a mockery- of the word "freedom." , Upon working with the University administration, One finds thai our administrators aren't a flock of ogres, lurking in the shadows and anxiously awaiting the opportunity to seize and destroy student freedom. But it would simplify matters for University administrators if they didn't have to deal with organized student government. A dictatorships though proved self-annihilating, is more efficient: Consequently, if students or more specifically student voters continue to abuses their privilige of expression and their vehicle of expression the ballot then student autonomy will fly out the window and into the waiting arms of administration control. Ballot orJbujiet? Versatile and determined. These adjectives best describe Thomas N. Walters, recently elect ed president of the Interdormitory Council. Tom's versatility is, evidenced ; by . his combination of artistic ability and leadership. ' " "'.' . As proof of the former, he ad an individual exhibit of paint ' ings, in the Morehead Planetarium jiL-t recently. As proof of the latter, The Order' of the Grail Wednesday ' night recognized him as ' one of thirteen of the , most outstanding undergraduates on campus. . - : As for determination, Tom was -thwarted during the spring elec tion in both Jiis campaign for the senior class , treasurership and legislature seat in Dorm Men's V. But he went on to take the presi dency of the IDC over Paul Carr. Tom hails from North Caro lina's coastal plain, specifically from Tarboro. He is a junior and is majoring in english. As for the past year, Tom was busy with Interdormitory Coun cil work. He" served as secretary, and according to President Son ny Hallford, did an "outstanding" job. As a testimonial to Tom's ami ability, his roommate in Steele Dorm Neil Bender told IDC mem bers Wednesday night as Tom Neil Bass Industrious and capable.

There ii definite analogy between the provincial philosophy behind State JTcp; L. 11. Ross' bill to hike out-of-state tuition $200 and a massive ingrtvn toenail. . -;-k. ' - This ingrown philosopby seems to echo: . "We're sjierior to all others. Wre don't need the exchange of, ideas and intercourse of diverse thought which makes, for a liberal mind. In short; we love us,r ' ; "5 1. If Ross's bili, passes, then, pursuing . this metaphor.'; further: .the University's vioeXl or method of motivation the, mind will be crippled by a giant ingrown toenail thought without diversification. In the shortest of shorts, we don't like Ross's brand of provinci alism. And if the, General Assembly serves it up, we're afraid the University indigestion will result in a bellyache not commensurate with the constitutions of liberal institutions. The World s Weeki Still Trouble In Israel Bob High In the world this week there was the seemingly unending struggle between Egypt and Israel over the Suez Canal and the Aqaba Bay areas. ; Israel threatened a new war if the Nasser-controled nation did not ! let the Israelis' ships pass through the international waterway. J Russia has .voiced threats to the Scandinavian countries concern- i ing the installment of atomic weapons under the NATO", program. The threats said that if the Soviet Union were attacked and the striking force included weapons from these northern nations, they would be strongly retaliated upon with atomic weapons from the Com munist country. Here at home, the nation, at least the southern and eastern half, have suffered' tornadoes, severe thunderstroms and high winds for the' last week and the activities of nature have caused untold damage at least 44 deaths have been contributed directly to the storms. In Los Angeles, four men filled with hate and booze, poured a can of gasoline on the floor of a neighborhood bar, threw a match into the fuel and turned five men and a woman into human torches. Police are now-; staging a massive manhunt for the remaining couple of a group mMotif men who are alleged to have 'started the inferno. Postmaster Ggneral Summerfield has stated that the Post Office Department will have to make drastic cuts in service because Congress will not give .hisrdepartment the 47 million dollars to maintain full service through June 30. ' " In the ras&jbf the American woman believed to have been" kid naped by lfaniinAbandits, Mrs. Anita Carroll of Washington State, was found slain --some two miles from where her 'husband and another fellow American 'ere' ambushed by the desert criminals. Because of this incident", the Iraniam prime minster, Hussein Ala has resgned his position. ' '!: ' ..' ran for president, "lie's one of : the best liked men in the dorm." Maybe this dispels the old adage that no man is a king in his own castle. ' ' M As for hi- plans for the IDC, Tom seems already to' have some set ideas in mind. One of these ideas is to srengthen the Inter dormitory Court. He told coun cil members he felt the court could operate more efficiently " and would work toward that end. Concerning other council plans, members who voted him the presidency apparently feel the interest and energy he has shown during the pact year will be very efficiently put to work during .the academe year 1957-58. Tom is a quiet-spoken kind of mani Council members remember him as the man who "sat on Presi dent Sonny Hallf ord's 1 left and silentlv took notes durinrr mefct.- tmW ' tUn 1 1 1 i 1 ! . ings '; ' throughout " ' the ' year. He rarely spoke, but when he spoke he had something to say. That pretty well sums up Tom Walters. A quite and sincere kind of guy who commands respect when, he speaks. . . . IDC president BILL REDDING s. . . IFC head Si the council's authority as spokes man for the individual houses. "I want the administration to more frequently use the IFC when collective matters dealing with the houses are concerned," Bill said. president over Frank Brown Early Wednesday morning it was apparent that the University D,rfv haH won a maiority oi seau m c i vy ' - it I n T h e S t a t e : S t o r m , Speed, Students Jackie Haithcock (SblFers Win 18'2-8! In ACC Match The Carolina golf team re mained undefeated yesterday with an 18-8i2 win over the Wake Forest Deacons. The Tar Heel golfers are the defending Atlantic Coast Con ference champions and are odds on favorites to retain the title this season. The linksmen have a tie with Rollins and wins over Cornell (27-0), ' Michigan State (20Vz 9Yz), and Wake Forest. The Deacons are considered the strongest threat to the Tar Heel's title. ; . :?. . ; 1 L'il Abner North Carolina, like the' rest of the nauon had a "stormy" time this pa week. 5 . ' ' t Tornadoes slashed across-the nation this week and left in their ' path a-out 45 person dead and considerable damage in many areas. North Carolina felt the effect of these twisters when at least three tornadoes hit near Elizabeth City, High Point and Yadkinville. One person was killed and several other persons were injured as a re sult of the fake spring weather in the Tar Heel State. N Another phencmena of national repute blew into the state this week with the various storm. James. C. Hagerty, press secretary for the White House, visited Duke University Tuesday as a guest speaker for the Duke Student Union's Educational Affairs Com mittee. Hagerty spoke to a Page Auditorium audience on "The Job and the Times." The North Carolina General Assembly seemed appropriately af fected by the weather, too, ,as they dealt out decisions on several controversial issues. A bill allowing a 60-mile-per-hour limit on .selected highways ln North Carolina became law Thursday after the Senate took, final action on it. The highways on which the new speed limit will be allowed are are to be designated by the State Highway Commission- According to W. H. Rogers, chief highway engineer, these will probably be interstate, limited access highways. To make for, more safety on state highways, a bill proposing a program of high school driver education passed the House on a roll call vote 'Friday. The program would be financed by a $1 in crease in auto license tags. Such courses would provide no credits toward graduation. Final action will probably be taken on the bill this coming week. ' ' Of particular interest to local ouU)f-itate students was a bill introduced in the House this M'eek by Rep. L. H. Ross of Beaufort. The bill calls for an increase in tuition for out-of-state students at the three units of the Consolidated .University of North Carolina. The bill, if passed, would require a boost in tuition for such students from $500 to $700 a year. . - Chapel Hill also figured in state news this week when 85 per cent of its voters turned but for. a special, bond election Tuesday. Local voters overwhelmingly voted against a proposed general rec reation program and a $250 thousand bond is-ue -which would provide for the construction of recreational facilities. North Carolina again functioned in national sports news this week when a Shelby attorney made an offer to buy the Washington Redskins of the National Football League. Ralph Gardner, now living in Washington, approached the present owner of the club, George Preston Marshall, about the purchase, but no proposition has been made. Gardner indicated that if he were, to buy the club he would like to move it s-outh. - '. r t r?icrutfH Vini-pvpr came put that two seats irom uorm iuca? x -xw Out ol 50 legislature seats, the University Party will have from a five to an eight seat majority, pending resuus oi - ruu- , f .. -r-fsii froch tn student s minds, the . . i : a -inn i wh a oft nn t i ra i ts wcic owu rcsentat oTof ihc inb-jvifual ! amualWeil lectures Sot ufdery Thursday Dx CC.mn. : .. . ... 1 r ..,;,:, mi.!.-, m the first of three lectures, here.

Dean Lee called upon liberal arts faculties to "make liberal arts mare liberal" than they are now. And while campus politics, liberal arts and world politics held attention here; the case of Ballenger versus the Physics Dept. drew biU whirShoull hat; been- paid anticipated by neither the seU-sWed physicist or sc,cn.,s,s nere. William Lee Ballenger, who came to Chapel Hill recently as a portrait artist, became involved in an argument with the UNC Physics Dept. when he stated that Newton's theory of gravitation was errcnious and that the artificial satelites planned by the U.S. govern ment would , not work. When a phy sicist-icile d Ballenger's theory "nonsense," the artist challenged the department to a pubic debate. Ballenger stated that the debate was not necessary after an in terviewwith physicists Thursday morning which resulted in an ex periment to test the theory Friday. The experiment disproved Ballenger's theory, according to Dr. E. D. Palmatier. But Ballenger won't give up, he says. "The experiment was, m opinion, not conclusive,' he said. turc will agree. The case in mind happened during the recent legis lative assembly. , It seems Bill got stuck with a from the not overly large Honor Council treasury. In lieu of being stuck with the bill, Bill introduc ed a finance bill which called for "Reimbursement of Bill Redding for Honor Council Expenses." Maybe all these terms pretty well sum up. Bill's disposition and general personality: industrious, capable and lively. -.The Interfraternity Council, which placed such a load of re sponsibility upon his shoulders, apparently looks for big things from Bill. And if past record has anything to do with it, the coun cil has justly placed its confi dence.
