MANLEY SPRINGS
is on the vitrc of losing not only
its piesent reputation hut also any
new- people that miht consider
tomino to Cornell. This means
that, unless something; is done soon.
Cornell will rank as a university
slightly worse than most, instead ol
slightly better than any.
Now. there are things about Cor
nell which will always attract a
certain number of excellent pro
lessors. There is the kind of in
dividuality in choosing the type
of tcachino and research yon are
to do that will forever he an at
traction to those men who cannot
subscribe to the autonomous orders
of a department or a college. There
is the kind of freedom that an in
dividual professor has inside the
iJassrooni. in teaching what and
how he wants, and outside the class
room, in living, the way he pre
leis. There is a kind of student at
Cornell, non-provincial and gen
erally able, unlike those at the mid
Wcstcin s hool who are generally
liom one stte. or those at the
other Ivy schtols who are generally
Itom one class.
There is a kind of congeniality
among academicians, a respect and
admiration for otheis in the teach
ing pmlession. that stretches Irom
entotuolgy to engineering. Irom
agronomy to arc hitec tm e. from
geology to government. 1 here is a
wholc indefinable atmosphere at
Cornell which has made- it clillereni
Irom other schools, which attracts
to it the kind of men who cue more
that they're Iree than that they're
nuclei paid.
P.nt wiili all the advantages that
tliis tniiv ti sii bus, ii is nevei theless
true that it will iail 10 attract .1
large ortion of the able educators
that it so badly needs for the per
petuation of greatness. Tor Mr.
Hlac k arguments ate sound, irrevo
cable ones th Cornell lai ultv is
undei stalled, nude! paid, ovcr
woikcd. and without tini or lacili
ties lor tcscareh and study. And as
long as this is tine, no matter what
other benelits the Cniversitv may
have, many of the better graduates
will turn to the Si yooo lull pro
lessor salaiv at Harvard or the
guai. inteed Iree lime at Princeton,
and Cornell will sullei.
The- challenge is there lore clear.
I he litst and most crucial icsponsi
hilitv lor all those connected with
the- I'nivtisitv is to insure that the
lieedoms. the special atmosphere ol
Cornell academics, will never be
compromised or distorted bv those
in administrative positions. IVut the
second vital resKnsibility. and one
in which the Council members can
play a pan, is to get 'enough inonev
pure, simple cash to raise salar
ies, to get more teacheis. to build
the research libiarv, to build a new
building lor the Aits College, etc.
The voice of need has sounded
clear to the Cniveisity. The chal
lenge has been given to the Cor
nell Council, the group that pro
I esses to be the Iriencls and helers
of the Cniveisity. They have been
given a task of major projxntions.
and they have been asked to show
their real spirit and lovaltv. They
piobably will not be faced with a
serious a problem as this in the
next several decades, for it is the
liberal arts, the humanities, and
the means to iinplenint and teach
;he se. that are going to prove starkly
c rue ial in the vears to come.
We hope the Council members
can mee t the challenge, can answer
as thev should to the problems that
face the rniversitv. Frankly, we
have our doubts that they will:
we think that complacency and
shoulder shrugging have taken too
much a hold, that the interests of
the humanities will never he made
dear to those who do not appreei-
Wc would like to be proven
ate them to legin with,
wrong, of course in fact, we beg
to le. Hut the challenge is easily
forgotten, easily pushed aside in
the minds of the Council members.
All w e ran sav is that if the problem
is pushed aside, eventually so will
the Council. .
VIEW FROM THE HILL:
f
U.S. Foreign
Policy And Its
Inconsistencies
By GANS
There exists in American foreign f
policy two very startling incon
sistencies between political expedi
ency and the democratic ideal as
couched by those who wrote the
Constitution and the Declaration
of Independence. The first of these
can and must be corrected, and
the second remains a dilemma
that will be impossible to straigh
ten while the game of power poli
tics continues to be played.
It was ostensibly on the issue
of representative government that
the Thirteen Colonies went to war
in 1776; yet, in 1937 the United
Slates has compiled an admirable
record in interfering in two im
portant elections abroad, an act
specifically prohibited in the regu
lations on the passport of every
American who possesses one.
The most recent case of inter
vention In elections concerns the
recent re-election of Konrad Aden
auer's Christian Democrats i"
Germany. Here, according to
French, German, and British ac
cusations and according to ad
missions of certain foreign wttie-e
personel, the V. S. spent money
wud time in backing the Chris
tain Democrats' successful aspira
tions lo re-election over the So
cial Democrats.
It was a successful election, but
it was not carried out without
the wrath and fear of some of the
United States closest allies be
ing brought out. The anger is over
the new concept of sovereignty
that the U. S. seems to espouse
that of U. S. taking a part in t ho
sovereignty of other nations. Their
fears are that thev may be the
next countries in which the U. S.
will try to in'erelere with the
electoral processes. ,
This problem tame into bold re
lief earlier in the year when the
U. S. tried unsuccessfully to in
terfere, with many dollars and
much time, in the municipal elec
tions of Manila in' the Phillipines.
The net result of this diplomatic
foray is that the city of Manila
has now a Communist mayor. Xot
only did the people of Manila re
act violently to interference in
their democratic processes, but
they pronounced very clearly to
the V. S. that the meaning of
sovereignty is that the people of
a viven Mate choose the repre
sentatives whom they want, and
not the representatives that an
other nation wants them to want.
The Phillipines is one of the
most important island groups in
the Pacific. With it goes one of
the keys to control of that vast
sea the Pacific, and one of the
natural and most important U. S.
bases. Germany, at present, is
the strongest nation in Western
Europe. The U. S. stands to lose
both these nations, but what is
more Important the V. S. could
suffer the breakdown of its en
tire alliance system through the
fear of other nations that their
sovereignty is in jeopardy
It is this very alliance system
that causes the second inconsi-

stency in American policy,
tlu United States has been in .1
position, lately, of consistently
backing colonial and imperial in
terests over the interests of the
indigenous population. This is not
ably apparent in tlie case of the
British squabble in Cyprun, and
the French-Algerian crisis. If
America backs the British and
French interests, it becomes guilty
of being faithless to the principles
the American Revolution was
fought upon that of sell-rule. If
it sides with tho.. Alegrians and
Cypriots. it is in a position of
alienating two of its most firm
allies, and conceivably could break
up the NATO alliance.
The dilemma remains, and the
U. S. has chosen again on the
side of political expediency over
democratic principles in siding
with the British and French in
hopes of preserving the Western
security svstem.
There may be some doubt as
to which is the right action in
this latter case, but in respect
to interference in the sovereignty
of existing countries, the U. S.
must now and forever assume the
oft-stated policy of laissez-faire.
Someone, a iong time ago, said,
, 1 .
"To thine own self be. true." The
U. S. would do well to adopt this
as a guide.
for READER'S REPOSITORY:
Circulation Stagnates
And Readers Search In Vain
DEAR EDITOR:
I wouldn't walk a mile for a
Daily Tar Heel, but I wouldn't
start the day without reading one.
1 Not if I could find one, 1 wouldn't,
but sometimes that isn't easy.)
You and your staff, who spend
many long hours in its prepara
tion, surely vvoll agree that our
student newspaper plays an im
portant role in the life of the Uni
versity. It tells us what the peo
tion. surely will agree that our
own campus community. It is
written about us, and it speaks
for us. And we appreciate it. (al
ways admitting there is room for
improvement, ol course.)
Surely you are aware that a
great many of us do not read the
Daily Tar Heel for the simple
reason that it is not made avail
able. It is delivered to dormi
tories, sororities and fraternities,
and to various other points, in
cluding Lenoir Dining Hall. But
why does the supply at Lenoir run
out by about eight o'clock every
morning? Where should one look
after that? Consider also these
of us who eat downtown, or are
married and come from home di
rectly to class.
A sufficient number of Daily
Tar Heels should be printed each
day so that every interested per
son can have a copy. They should
be placed in classroom buildings
and in the eating places downtown,
as well as at the present points of
distribution, and the supply should
not run out before the demand for
them has stopped each day.
Of course it costs money to pub
lish a newspaper. We paid our
money as part of our registration
fee. It takes time and effort to
keep enough copies on hand at
convenient locations. Students in
Poland recently were willing to
give more than just time and ef
fort to their newspaper.
All of us should read the Daily
Tar Heel.

Of all the boy-girl approaches I have ever wit
nessed or experienced I hve just been, eye -vy.tns,
to th most unusuaL While dittig out in: the friend
ly atmosphere of the N. C. Cafeteria, I: noticed the
young man sitting next to me was tyeing me out
of the corner of his eye. Finally he spke: '"would
you be interested in having your teeth cleaned?"
he asked. Not, "Haven't I seen you someplate be
fore'" or "Where are you from?" but "Would you
be interested in having your teeth gleaned?"
I wondered whether I should slap him or in
quire , further. I did, the latter, since -nobody likes
to create scenes in "cafeterias.
Here was a struggling young dental student,
hunting for. patients in cafeterias in order that he
could get enough points to graduate. It runs a point
per patient, I suppose. Always ready t(S answer the
plea of a worthy caise, I made an Ippointmt-nt

ing up,.and down steps and. asking directions from
everyone in white coats, I found the Jfc&ool of Den
tistry. Picking out .my boy among several eager
white-clad figures was no trouble at all. We then
proceeded downstairs io get. me okayed, this being
a precautionary, measure taken by the school.
The "Operating Room" back upstairs was more
like a classroom. But instead of desks, there were
rows upon rows of dentist chairs. His was by the
window, thus affording some degree of seclusion.
The proceedings took from two to four and I
have never had so much attention in my life. My
dentist was equipped with a little assistant that
' handled her job as efficiently as a surgical nurse.
Every few minutes an instructor would stroll by
and peer into my mouth to make sure everything
was .all right. One man asked me1f I needed a
transfusion. I am sure that nobody's teeth have
?ver been cleaned as thoroughly as mine were on
i Is momentous afternoon.
Besides this, I got a natural bristle toothbrush,
a "denticatorr" and first-hand instructions on how
to brush my teeth the Steelmen-McCall way.
I urge all coeds with time on their hands and
hvgiene in their hearts to take the beaten path
through the woods to the University Hospital. Ht-re
yoivcan do your good deed for. the day by helping
these worthy young hopefuls make "A" in Lah.
NICHOLS FOR YOUR THOUGHTS:
Air Age Is Of Age,
& An Anthem Myth
By NICHOLS
With all this talk about rockets and man-mad
moons it was kind of refreshing to see t crowd
qather at the Raleigh-Durham airport to witch a
blimp take off.
Many children and parents stood around while
the crew prepared the blimp for flight. 1 strongly
suspect that the parents were just as much, if not
more, impressed by the proceedings than were the
children.
In one little group the pilot was explaining to
a young girl why you could call a blimp a "ship",
and why this term could not be applied to an air
plane. Finally, the impatient crowd was rewarded for
their watchful vigil. Amidst many cries of 'Hur
rah!" and "There she goes!" (Plus a few comment?
such as: "It'll never fly") the blimp started on its
amazingly short taxi and rose in the air at approx
imately a 60 degree angle.
We watched it float out of sight, intrigued by
such messages as "Give to the U.F." and ' Buy
Chrysler, Plymouth, DeSoto, Dodge, Imperial." etc.
which flashed on its side.
The air age has finally come into its own it's
sponsored. '
In case you haven't noticed (in which case, I
suspect, your aesthetic values are dead) the leaves
on the campus trees are changing to all sorts of
colorful hues. I've always thought, with pride, that
our campus here at Chapel Hill must be one of the
most beautiful in the world and at this time of year
and in the spring I'm convinced of it.
There's a conspiracy on campus. At the rik of
being indicted for un-American activitv I'd like ti
say I'm for it. too.
It seems that some individuals are crusading f r
the removal and replacement of the National An
them. It has verv patriotic words, and all that, hut
face it it's unsingable.
I. for one, am tired of standing before h,'
?nmos, nnd at various other times, and lister.sr?
in !!le ma,es be,lowng out the "Oh sav. can vox
s?" onlv to turn it over to the females when it
come? time to screech "And the rocket's red elarr."
Nn wonHer the trend has been to get a profession
ally trained singer to sing the anthem while every
tno stands silent.
I'm for participation. If we can't do a good
on this one, let's get one on which we can.
