We feel the school is being un jiistlv dictatorial and maternalis tic . Alonj, this line, we leprint an ctliforial from iie I iiiin.ui Horn er: The new regulation allowing unlimited cuts to those peions attaining an acceptable average on all their woi k at l'urman prior to their junior vear is pet haps one of the more progressive steps tak en by the I'niversity in some- time. To some members of the ad ministration, it is a stepping stone to telaxing an undesiied paternal hold over the student bod v. Tor vears students have cried longing ly for more- responsibility. This is the most advanced movement in that direction vet. Responsibility is a term often misused. To some it means work, haul woik, making of decisions, and lack of sccuritv. To others it means Ireedom from lestraint, a challenge, a chance to use imag ination. Whatever it means, the new svstem is good good in the lespect that it means i esponsibili tv. the little t i hi of a student to do what is best for him. To have the ability to tccognie and accept responsibility is a trait unfamiliar to many college stu dents. Manv abuse such freedom . . . oiheis enjov it. Although the new lobulation a -v ill allect only a small portion of the student body, it is hoped that those allotted will not abuse the piivilege. and thus allow a mote relaxed svstem in the luture. The addition of responsibility to the l'urman curriculum is welcomed. WISE AND OTHERWISE: Rogue's Gallery Of The Ingrate Americana . . . By Whit Whitfield Only ' once in a generation do truly great men like John Kasper vnd (governor Orval Faubus arise in American history. How fortun ate can one country be? To start our comments, let us take John Rasper, self-styled Yan kee rabble-rouser, and giant among men. He is destined to go down in history as one of the truly great men of all time. There can be no doubt about this. Words do not come well enough to de scribe this staunch defender of "White Supremacy." and demago gue of a thousand southern idiots who follow him. And there must be at least a thousand people in the South who are that stupid, al though Kasper and I both wonder if there are really that manyi. Just take a look at what he is doing for the South. Not since the days of the Civil War has the South received so much publicity, both nationally and internationally. This is great for southern busi ness. His tireless efforts in form ing White Citizens Councils and in bringing back the spirit of the Ku Klux Klan arc a source of wonder. Where does a man get such strength? He is truly with out peer in his realm of endeavor. Word has it that he is being considered for a Nobel Prize, but we are inclined to believe that a new category would have to be added to include his kind. Now let us praise another great Governor Orval Faubus of Arkansas. Few men have risen from the oblivion of the executive mansion of the State of Arkansas to national prominence so rapid ly and with so much publicity. As a matter of fact, no one has. His grandstand play was no doubt used to garner him some voters in the next gubernatorial race. Little did he know that he would almost have to get his state to secede from the union and declare war on the United Stales to get out of this pinch. Now, what wUl he do without his troops? Capital publicity stunt I would say. and darn good politics too. lie did manage to save the True South a bit of trouble however. Now that he has lost out. our sis ter southern states will be very hesitant about seceding again. He has probably helped us avert an other Civil War. That he has made the South look more backward than ever is only too evident. That he has given So viet Russia a wealth of propogan da to use against us is also too evident. We do hope that he wins back the voters which he pre viously alienated, for it would be ridiculous for him to lose the next election after getting in all of this mess, just to protect the people of his state from "viol ence.' And now the brave fool is fighting for the rights of the governor of a sovereign state and states rights, neither of which have existed since 1863. What a brave man he is! How can we help but admire him? Much more could be said about these two gentlemen, but space will hardly permit. For that mat ter, neither Mill the laws of propri-ety-or the courts.

Reverberrations From Texas And so the Texas Tech incident moves into another round with blow-by-blow exchanges becoming more and more heated. Among the latest developments are resolutions from j the Tech faculty charging that the Tech Board of Directors violated prin ciples of academic freedom and accreditation standards on facul ty tenure in July when they ousted three Tech professors Drs. Aber ncthy, Grecnberg. and Stensland in secret session wiihout hear ing. Southern Association of College and Secondary Schools has said it will begin an investigation Sep tember 23, and the American As sociation of University Professors has indicated it also may make a probe. Earlier, the Tech Board meet ing August 17 a month after the trouble first started, voting 3-1 again denied the professors an open hearing. No matter who is to . blame, it is gratifying to see the concern and sincere interest which has been expressed from all parts of the country from fellow profes sors and educators and students, from politicians and fanners and businessmen all concerned when violations of academic freedom supposedly occur. It would have been a sod day, indeed, had their dismissal for rea sons unstated been met with a passive resistance from fear of endangering job or position. As from the start, there are still too many unanswered ques tions. Why weren't reasons given for the ouster? The professors have requested a public hearing, and it would seem if only the trio's teaching were involved and rea sons for dismissals were well founded, that only the professors would stand to lose from such a hearing. The Lubbock newspaper openly said that the removals resulted from political and social pressure Abernethy was a leader in the Democrats of Texas, the liberal wing of the Democratic Party, and Grecnberg had publicly stated he favored integration. Other unofficial reasons have come to the fore following an informal meeting between the three professors and two Board officers: 1) Charges that Abernethy, for mer regional director of the Wage Stabilization Board, receives a large outside income from work as a mediator in labornanage ment disputes. 2) Two petitions (signed by about five Tech students asking for the removal of Dr. Grecnberg. 3) Letters from students, alumni and others critical of the profes sor. 4 Abolution of the Adult Edu cation Program 'and thus the job of Dr. Per Stensland) as an economy measure. Influence of some of these rea sons may be discredited and at tributed to disgruntled students; almost every professor has his share. Others have speculated, in the case of Stensland, that the adult program (sponsored by funds from the Ford Foundation was entirely too liberal for the Con servative Board. A less widely circulated reason lias been advanced that the case in some way involves the Tech administration and the Board wishes to save Tech's face. Even then, it is hard to see how a group of reasonable men, fully aware of the consequences of their action (possible loss of accredita tion . could repeatedly deny the right to public hearing if their decision was made without haste or prejudice d based on adequ ate information. Surely the name of Texas Tech could not have had to suffer any more in light of all the facts than it has in the light of no facts. We await the probe of the AA UP and Association, and hope that they may make headway to Avard a workable solution to the tangle which has been produced. RANDOM RAMBLINGS: Summerism And WC Tee-Heeism One of the more colorful expressions which I've heard around this campus is usually said by'stu dents"j ust before and just after a holiday, -weekend or summer. The punctuation at the end de pends on whether, it's before or after a lay-off from "studies." Here it is: " "Have a good summer?" said at the beginning of the fall semester with a rising inflection and a question mark at the end. "HaTe a good summer." Said at the end of school in May as you drive off in a convertible headed for home with a descending note at the end of the sentence and a period to denote either a command or just a statement. I've never been able to figure out if it is mandatory to have agood summer or not. "Have a good holiday," "Have a good weekend," with either question marks or periods after: them are both equally colorful and quite useful at their appropriate times. It saves much thinking on the part of the greeter to have a ready-made greeting to blurt out at the slightest provocation. None of those old saying like, "Hi, how's it going?" for a Carolina man. I hate a friend who frowns on these greetings about as much as I do, and so w henever we meet we generally try to make up original and , colorful salutations such as "Hot enough for you?", if it's hot, and ,cWet enough for you?" if it's wet. and other silly things like that. Anything to amuse ourselves. . My case rests as far as that is concerned. There certainly were a flock of girls over from Greensboro for the game. About five minutes be fore game time, upwards to 20 busses come rollin' through the gates by Woollen and parked down on the intramural field and the women started pourin mit of them liJce crazy. I was selling programs rath er I was standing there with programs for sale, when they came bounding off the busses, and I ain't never seen such a crop in my life. Big ones, fat ones, pretty ones, and some other kinds. Most of them were having a little trouble with their heels and everything, but on the whole, I was duly impressed by the way they handled themselves. One of the things I overheard: "Which way is the woods?'' one giggling lady said to her five young women companions, all of whom were walking fast towards it. "Oh, I mean which way to the stadium?" "Tee, hee. tee, hee." 'Up in the woods, silly." "Tee. hee. tee hee."' Ah yes, it is another fine crop at old W C. this year. The football game didn't impress me too much and neither did the cheerleaders, although one thing I did notice; all the Carolina fans sem fo-be a lot more willing and eager to cheer in the last quarter, and by this time the cheerleaders are a'. worn out and so is the team. Of course, all -we have to do is sit up in the stands and drink, whereas both the cheerleaders and the team have to exer cise more than their elbow. If there was some way we could all get together in the fourth quarter, the games certainly would be more enjoyable. The Card Section did its usual fine job except for that one purple on row K which always kept popping up. DAVID LAWRENCE: L'lL ABNER by Al Capp v V. a HER 7' x , IT-GAsP.r-SMORE Y """-THAT V.

Self-Styled Libs Are Inconsistent WASHINGTON "Book burning." interference with free speech, censorship of radio and television so that American history and old folksongs are in accurately presented to the people all this goes on in freedom-loving America nowadays without much protest from the so-called "liberals" or their "civil liberties" organizations. Strange inconsistencies emerge. Thus, Senators Humphrey of Minnesota and Douglas of Illinois. Democrats, have joined in suggesting that President Eisenhower should "personally take those colored children by the hand and lead them into school"' at Little Rock. Ark. But did any of the so-called "liberals" ever suggest or would they venture to recommend that the President of the United States take worktngmen by the hand and lead them into plants and factories where their right to work a basic constitutional right is denied them? NOR HAS THE governor of any state .come forth with such a solution for the problem created when labor unionism does what Congress is for bidden to do abridge the freedom of the press un der the color of law. "Collective bargaining" rights and picketing powers are, of course, derived from federal law. Yet none of the so-called "liberals' has risen to protest the closing down of newspaper plants in many cities through the establishing of picket lines which labor unions that are not them selves parties to the dispute refuse to cross. This is a concerted action that deprives many thousands of workers of their opportunity and right to work and just as effectually denies freedom of the press 3s if Congress had ordered it The California Federation of Labor is so stirred up over the Little Rock situation that it has just urged impeachment of President Eisenhower for not taking forceful action of some kind to get the colored children into the high school in Little Rock. But that same organization would hardly favor any forceful measures to enable hDnest. law abiding white or colored workingmen to enter a plant when there's a strike. FOR MANY YEARS now, the unions have de nounced any use of the National Guard to protect citizens in labor dispute. Yet today thre arr calls f?r the government here to "federalize" the Na tional Guard and u:e such tuv. to cr.fwice" desegregation. ft 4
