We Southerners feel highly slighted. And multitudinous sub: st libers and purchasers feel even more slighted.

There is a proposal to initiate a lield of study program in the upper division. I'ncler such a pro gianl, the student would major in foiuscs in the general lielels of humanities or sociology, etc. II accepted, this course of study max remedy most of the faculty's complaints and allow the general curriculum student relative free dom within an organized frame work. We onlv hope the faculty xvill allow field study to be the out growth of general curiculuni, for, if not. histoiy may remember Cal as the university which cut oil some of its finest scholars to saxe its fate. VIEW FROM THE HILL: Mid-East And Oil, And Omni Vacillation Curtis Gans " y The Middle East is perhaps the most crucial area in the world today. It is the dividing line between Asia, Africa, and Europe. It pos sesses one of the largest oil sup plies in the world. Within its area the fastest water route from Europe to Asia is located. It rep resents Russia's hope of a warm water outlet in the Western Hem isphere and the Russian dream of. driving a wedge between the allied forces of the Far East and Europe: Syria Is in a pivotal position in this critical area. Standing south' of Turkey it represents a possible threat to Turkish control of the Dardenelles, whose fall would give Russia direct access to the Mediterranean, something they have been trying 'to acieve for centuries. Standing north of the oil fields in Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Iran. Syria stands in a position to cut off a large measure of the allied oil supply. Syria, situated north of Israel, has ' within Its power the ability to touch off the explosion that would unite the Middle East and tear asunder any Middle Eastern ties with the western democracies. For If there should be any out break of violence in which Israel is involved, the entirity of the Middle East would unite in the hope of crushing Israel and re storing the Middle East to Arab sovereignty. The U. S. has lost Syria. It may well lose the rest of the Middle F.ast if policies arc not changed radically and soon. The U. S. lost Syria to the Rus sians, not because there was in Syria an ambitious dictator who would take any form of aid ad vantageous to him. as in the case of Egypt's Nasser. The U. S. lost Syria, because of a vnscillating foreign policy ami a foreign aid program which does not tome to grips with grim re;lity. The Soxiet won over Syria as it won over Red China by ap pealing to the basic drives of the people. The forces of nationalism and hunger motivate people by far more than idealism. The Russians promised strength, backed tVir statement up by shipping arms, and won the na tionalistic spirit of Syria. They pointed to China, showed the im provements there, and won the Syrians by showing how their hun ger could be alleviated. Now, with the Earth satellite and the Rus sian Intercontinental Ballistics . Missile, the Syrians can be as sured of a potent ally. The rest of the countries in the Middle East can be less sure. They read of American cutbacks in armaments and can surmise that America is either not intent on becoming as strong as Russia to meet the Russian threat or that the U. S. is trying to protect only itself and will give only token protection to the countries of the Middle East. The Middle Eastern nations can look at the American system and judge the ef ficiency of the govern ment of the United States. The Rus sian development of an ICBM. and an Earth Satellite, to say L'lL ABNER VHEN VJE SIGN V. THlS,BULLMOOSEF, f WE WILL HAVE ( BETWEEN US ALL TMEMONEVIN V THE VJORLD.7 "In AmcricaTliey Think It's A Problem That People Areji'l Getting Enough Education" ij ' v?j,j',iwijii,:' ' nothing of the Syrian coup d'etat came without 'forewarning to the L'nited Stales. The people of the Middle Past must conclude that either the intelligence system of the United States is cjuite shoddy or that people of the United State are not being informed. Perhaps the biggest flaw in lie United States in the eyes Ol the Middle Eastern nations ie with the State Department, juid John Foster Dulles. The record ..of Mr. Dulles Includes tiitj promt jo., aid to Egypt ia the.buJdina.ot the Aswan Dam a,nd the -subsequent withdrawal of ; the promise; thej promise of massive retaliation for the free peoples; of the world,. and the production of none; the ac tive support of Israel; the com parative lack of military aid in the form of arms and equipment: and the failure to bring the means of alleviating poverty, - Compared to the Russian record the policy of the United States looks anemic. The U. S., if it is not.to alienate the countries of the Middle East, must realign its forqign policy with regard to the Middle East. The U. S. must spend, more not less, and they must. pu the em phasis of the foreign .program on the feelings which are uppermost in the minds of the Middle East ern peoples nationalisnia,nd sur vival. The U. S. mustot uiake loud propoganda boasts,, in , tlw? future, unless ii is willing, to .back these claims up in dted ijnd fact. The United States must, bandon. at least overtly, the pplicy-of.

AI Walker A guy who I hope was drunk told me to write something posi tive in my column. He said that toy's college columnists are too dumb to write any positive criti cism. - "Naturally-1 wb a little drunk too, and so I said that I was too dumb to write any criti cism at all. And besides I didn't like t. So lie said all right, just write something positive. So I am. The liquor laws of the state of North Carolina are very fine in comparison to most of the places I have been drunk. Of course those of Orange County, the county in which the beautiful little college town of Chapel Hill is located, aren't too hot. but on the whole I would say that I like the liquor laws of the state of North Caro lina. One of the first good laws is that you only have to be eighteen to drink beer here. When I first came to school. I was a little worried about being under twenty one. but my fears were dispelled the first night. Of course I met with sad news that first night too. because we were cut off at mid night. Now I'm from Washing- If the U. S. does not retain this loyalty, there may well be a Third World War . with Russia , holding one of the highest trump cards. It could mean the defeat of the V. S. ton. I). C. and I'm used to drink ing until two o'clock, and I need my extra two hours. Another law that they lave here is about the ABC stores. They are package stores that are run by the state to make money for the schools and other things which need money. Also they hax'e people from the Salvation Army and other xvbrthxvhile charities standing around outside them xvith cups and other receptacles asking for donations. These people are rarely rewarded for their labors, and lately I . hardly even get a twinge of conscience as I hurry back to the car with my wonderful brown sack. They don't have any ABC stores in Orange County, because I guess the schools here don't need any money. In Chapel Hill the best place to buy beer to take out is Fowler's or the A & P during the daytime. At night, the Tempo is currently vying for the takeout business on cases. There are any number of fine drinking spots in Chapel Hill. The University restaurant is the best, as the Tempo is always crowded with idiots, phonies and drunks. In the afternoon, the Skimpo is ok. The Shack, next to the police station is a fine place, although they have tele vision and atmosphere there. Drinking is a lot of fun, and if you remember to shop before nine, and buy a lot, drinking in Chapel Hill is fun. I'm positive. by AI Capp VOURVJIFE MUST' SIGN, OK THE DEAL- IS OFF .V W H EKE.

Here you can find'gurself by com municating with all kinds of people; yet here you can lose yourself in the mob-c6nsjsting of those same people. , All students are equal in one respect: They all get 24 hours a day. No. more.No less. The way they use thoss 24 hours is what distinguishes the boys from the men, the outstanding from the medi ocre. It is what turns the equality "system into the competitive system. - r There are as many things -to do as there are types of personalities.

SatelliteMessage & Slanted Eyes... Gail Goodwin There has long been much discussion and con troversy over the "parking situation" in Chapel Hill. I hadn't heard much about it lately until just the other day when I overheard a Carolina Gentle man complaining about having to go all the wax past Carrboro before he could find a place for him and his date to "park." It was with much enlightenment that I read an article proclaiming that a message in Internation al Morse Code stating, ,"3411. 341I,:560, 8110337. 55689, 43311033.
