SUNDAY, MAY 13, MS THE DAILY TA& HEEL A Need Shown A letter to the editor, a subsequent threat, and a continuation of noise in one dormitory on the campus is illustrative of the need for some system of law and order within the confines of dormitories on the t'NC campu. More over, the reaction of the students in the dormitory demonstrates the level of maturity of dormitory residents on this campus. If the two hoys who wrote the letter were at fault at all. it was because they singed out a dormi tory when the case is generalized throughout the campus, but this is excusable since they only had to go by what they knew. 1 he ca.-r points out the need more than ever fur -a giKd program of counseling, for a reorgani sation of the IDC cuort in order that quiet hours can be preserved and rowdiness held to a minimum, for enforceable rules so that every student's action nt a travesty on justice, and for competent stu dent officers in the dormitories. The two bos aie to be praised for their cour aurous action, and the present dormitory president whost. reaction in endorsing the new counseling program as a possible way to alleviate the problam in all dormitories deserves praise too. Those who deserve rebuke arc the dormitory of ficers who do not live up to their responsibilities in keeping quiet and making the dormitory a liv able place, the designers of the dormitories, who made the dorms an almost Impossible place to keep quitt. the students who make the noise, the students who made the threat. in) the IDC and administra tis Lr keeping unenforceable legislation still on the; books. It is hoped that with IDC court revision it is hoped that the local court plan will be adopted and dormitory counselors with the ability to keep the' peace through ne court and to stop mob action, that very well could have erupted Friday night and nearly did to a Daily Tar Heel photographer, that some order may be preserved within the near future. A dormitory is constructed to provide a decent study atmosphere and a hospitable living place. It isn't that now. It is hoped it will be that in the future. They Mad e i he News 'J Foreign Policy Too Far? The Dean of Women has said that the Daily Tar Heel has gone "too far'' in the handling of the new freshman coed regulations. Apparently the Daily Tar Heel has not gone far enough, since some of the restrictive legislation still remains on the books to be approved by the Dean of Women. The Dean of Women might excercise a great deal of care before it passes rules, which would restrict the freedom, tear down Carolina tradition, and take away from student responsibility and matu rity without any cause whatsover. The particular rule in question is the closed study regulation, but it might well apply to any and al discriminatory legislation, when there is no reason for discrimination according to past records. The Daily Tar Heel should have gone a good deal further, but space did not permit. It is hoped that Dean Cannichad will use somje discretion .about, the many considerations involved in these rules, be fore approving all of them. Today is the last issue of The Daily Tar Heel for the academic year of 1957-36. Rather than com ment upon the endeavors of a few individuals during the past week, let's deviate from that path and explore the high spots of the news of the year as you read it in this paper. September saw the usual mass of lost freshmen fight their res pective ways through such new and exciting experiences as Rush Week, tlie "first college football game and homesickness? During that first month, with only a rare quiz, students fresh from the summer's labors took every opportunity to have a lit tle fun and raise a little hell. Now,- eight months later, facing finals, students are still have a little fun and raising a. LOT of hell. October was the part of the year when Carolina football fans rose and felt with the fortunes of Jovial Jim Tatuni and his crew. For three consecutive Saturdays, Buddy Pyn. Phil Blazer and. Dave Reed led the team on the path to glory. The first of those great victories was a 26-0 thumping of Harvey While and his Clemson crowd, followed by a shocking 13-7 upset of Navy and a hard earned 20-13 squeaker over omnipotent Miami. Then the roof fell iu as Reed. leo Russavage and BernJe Don atelll were "heaved" from the ranks of athletes to the doldrums of ordinary students by Tatum. Maryland immediately turned the tables and came up with a 21-7 thumping of the Heels in front of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phil lip. October was the month of the Asiatic Flu aid the famed edi torial binge ot the always color ful Neil Bass. In three October s V r V issues of the DTH, Bass wrote edits on - such far flung subjects as "Abortive Pie-Season Polls and Scholastic 4 Prostitution." "Faubus Intelligence Thoroughly Exploited; All Gray' Matter Listed" and "My- ' opia. in the Infirmary; the Flu Fly .Flies Fast." V In one month he would be re called and Doug Eisele would take over the reigns of the campus paper. The recall occupied all headlines throughout this period. Along with the names of Bass and Eisele you would read daily of the exploits of the other two people connected with the recall Paul Rule and Barry Winston. Also, Jolly Wally Kuralt, the great petitioner always made the scene. William Aycock was installed as Chancellor on October 12, thus beginning the young look for South Building. Through the first seven months of his term,, Aycock has continually demonstrated his de sire to work closely w ith the stu dents. October was also the first birth day of the great Ken Young of 9 Davie Circle in Chapel Hill. "Big Ken" is the nephew of this col umnist and will have his own DTH paper route next year in the Glen Lennox area. Gotta do some, thing with the little monster! November had the final effects of the recall election, as Eisele swamped poor old Neil and Rule finished out of the money, a poor third. Winston" was the only smart one as he cleared but of the race. November also featured the come from behind, surprising, highlight of the season, stupen dous, wonderful, damn tremen dous 21-13 upset of the boys from the West Durham Finishing School. Poor DOOK! December reeled off five more basketball victories as the" rec ord went to 37, before the Uni versity of West Virginia snapped the streak in the finals of , the Kentucky Invitation T o u r n e y. Even after this blow was struck, McGuire's boys went on to corn pile a neat little 19-7 record for the season; a fine effort consider ing the early season loss of Dan ny Lotz and the season long loss of the great Joe Quigg. At the end of the season, the Heels wound up second in both the conference and the conference tournament, while winning the Dixie Classic. Also a high Ra tional ranking was given to the McGuiremen. Brennan made All American. Kearns made All kmerican and these two along with Quigg were all drafted into the N. B. A. In the middle of the year, the Honor Council was changed to the progressive Jury System, where by the Council merely decides the sentence, while nine individuals composing the jury give the de- Graduates Congratulations are in order for the somewhat li than 10; of the senior class which will gradu ale on June 2. A much larger percentage will receive diplomas, but only a few will have really had an education, and deiene a diploma. Too many have gotten by with the bare minim um. Too many have felt social activities more press ing than their academic responsibilities. Too many have not participated in the extra-curricular activi ties that go to make a college education. And too many will leave the University no more stimulated than cane and utterly unchallenged by the world of knowledge to conquer after college. It is a sad commentary that so few have indulged thernsc Ives liberally of what a University has to of fer. It i even a sadder commentary on the Univer sity which is unable to stimulate and unable to separate the sheep from the goats prior to registra tion for the first semester. This situation is due to many factors. Mast of these factors are correctable, but it is regrettable that they have not been corrected before now, so that many young minds could be saved for useful purposes. To all those receiving sheepskins, there should go some congi atulations, sonce what education they did not receive wa not entirely their fault. If they soaked up some Carolina atmosphere, they still may be better off in the future.

Feature Editor KEN FRIEDMAN Sports Editor DAVE WIBLE cision on guilt or innocence. ' ', This was one of the biggest stories of the year and much credit should be given .to . Roger Foushee, Sonny Evans and mem bers of the Honor Council for hav ing the foresight to see the need for such a system. -January, February and March all saw the planning, holding and completion of the greatest Caro lina Symposium on Public Affairs ever staged on this campus. Over seventy 70 prominent speakers from all over the globe and from every walk of life thrilled the many thousands fortunate to at tend any part of the program. This week long series of lec tures was easily the zenith of the year and enough praise cannot be showered upon Sonny Hallford and Bill Geer for leading the vay for this outstanding event. As the Symposium ended, cam pus elections swung into full prominence. In one of the hottest contests in recent years, .Don Furtado emerged victorious for the Student Body Presidency over two very tough and qualified can didates Al Goldsmith and Bob, Carter. Te latter was eliminated on the first ballot while Furtado and Goldsmith fought it out in a runoff, with the former just eas ing past the University Party's standard bearer. , i In the vice presidency the Stu dent Party first nominated John Brooks, but later had to turn to Ralph Cummings wlien South Building officials decided that Brooks was not going to be able to run. Cummings easily defeated the UP's Jack La wing. In other major results Paddy Wall won as secretary in a landslide and Char lie Gray defeated his fraternity brother Everette James by 17 votesfor the treasurer's job. The two defeated presidential candidates went on to almost equally important jobs with" Gold smith now ihe head of the Sym posium and Carter guiding the forces of the Gfaham Memorial Activities Board. And that's just about all of the important news for the year. Of course we recognize that we left out such other efforts as the burn ing of the Presbyterian Church and the work of the firebug. And we didn't even mention the choice of the liberals everyhere Curtis B. Gans. Well you can't win em all and you gotta take the good with the bad. AH in all though it was a good year and like we said we did ( raise a Lot of HELL didn't we? Thanx for the memories. Letters From Here And Abroad Asst. Sports Editor . RUSTY HAMMOND Ni-hl Editor PEELEY BARROW Anything Goes When the brothers Karamazov, one of them a psychiatrist and the other a proctologist, decided to open a point practice, they set out a shingle which read: "Odds and Ends." This column consists of the odds and ends. from a year's random observations. . 1'want you to get this picture: I'm lying in my rack, suffering from Tangerian bone-grindings and the East Indonesian flu. I have a high fever and every bone and muscel in my body aches. Suddenly I am seized with a violent spell of coughing. The whole bed shakes. Tears run down my face. And my always solicitous wife runs in from the ketchen and says. "Shut up. you fool, you'll wake the baby." (I tell this charmin little story for all June brides and grooms.) Hollywood trade papers have rumored in recent weeks that -th well known producer. James Dorman, is ready to film a new script: "I Was a Teen-Age Phallic Symbol." The flick will probably feature that rising new star, Norman Brown. Speaking of things theatrical, this reporter has been inveigle.' into doing a reading of "Howl." the national anthem of the "beat generation," tonight for Petite Dramatique.. This lengthy ode to via lence and sin has already beaten one obscenity rap in San Francisco, and the local producers are keeping their fingers crossed. (On the other hand, the blasted poem is being sold here, so. I suppose it should be all right to read it here, even in public. Oh well: Blue noses of Ihe world unite! You have nothing to lose but your gonads') In a tight pitchers' battle that lasted for twelve unbearable inn ings, the History Department softball team hung cm to the Falslaff Trophy for another year by edging the English Department, 18-16. The game's founder (back in 1951). elder statesman John Risen Jones, watched benignly from the sidelines as did Coach Fletcher M. Green. At one critical moment Coach Green threatened a student with loss of his forthcoming Ph.D. if the student didn't get a hit. Spurred by this kind of terrorism, the student belted the ball just over the second baseman's head, a truly remarkable achievement. Mot of the sterling young athletes involved in this contest spent the next week with their heating pads and linament. - One of America's great journalists, Murray Kempton of the New York Post, has been in town the last three days attending ses sions of the annual Editorial Writers Conference. Kempton is the author of what may well be the 20th century's outstanding line. One day, when his innumerable children were lov ing and kissing and kicking and smashing him, Kempton looked at them sweetly and said: "Thank God for fallout." " In a recent letter to this reporter, Kempton wrote: "Lenin was iiw better shape than I am the last time they aired the tomb." ' Speaking of children, Ken "Big Ken" Young has had a very exciting week. On Monday, he learned two new words: "hor-SEE" (horse) and "bay-BB" (baby). On Tuesday, he said his first sentence: "I want cracker." (It's got a subject, verb and object, so what's wrong with it you purist so-and-sos?) On V ednesday, he discovered that it was great fun to pick up a basketball and threw it at an un suspecting cat. And on Thursday, he was appointed city editor for the summer school weekly. This appointment was arranged by his uncle, Davis Young, who will serve as weekly editor during the' long hot summer. The appointment was made strictly on merit and family considerations played no part. As a motto for all those who are about to graduate, we can do no better than to quote one of the concluding line from the afore mentioned "Howl." "O. skinny legions run outsideO victory forget your underwear we're free!" Lot's of luck, gang, and may your hitch in service be the mer riest. t i LETTERS There were four letters received yesterday, which unfortunately could not be published due to a lack of time and fpace in dealing with the large final issue. If any person wants his letter returned or published in the fall, please contact the editor. Editor: It is apparent that this tempest in a censer raging (for some per sons, at least) over the nature of the Episcopal Church can be cleared up by a definition ol ternv;. The Episcopal Church basically Catholic as fully as is the Roman Church. It is also Protestant but not in the usual sense of the term Protestant. Per haps a better word would be "re foivned" and "reforming." The Protestantism of the Episcopal Church is not something that happened once and for all in Wittenberg in the 16th century. It is a reformation that is con tinuing and will continue, without separating itself from the Catho lic Church. And by the way. Mr. Editor, Episcopal is an adjective, not a noun. We are Episcopalians, not Episcopals. And we're not split. Eddie Bass ? , Editor: , In reply to Mr. DaltonV letter of May 16, I strongly urge that he read the "Articles of Religion as established by the Bishops, the Clergy, and the Laity of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America, which are found in the back of the Pray er Book. I hate to see the tenets of one's religion argued on the editorial page of a newspaper, and I have no intention of arguing with Mr. Dalton on matters of inter pretation. But such a blatant mis statement of the expressed beliefs of the Protestant Episcopal Church, as found in the Articles of Religion, cannot go 'unanswered. The false impression of the Epis-" copal Church that has resulted from Mr. Dalton's argumentation is ample reason for a closer look at the Articles of Religion. ' Mr. Dalton stated that the Pro testant Episcopal Church accepted all seven sacraments. Such is not the case: Article XXV, "There are two Sacraments ordained of Christ our 'Lord in the Gospel," that is to say, Baptism, and the Supper of the Lord. Those five commonly called Sacraments, that is to say, Confirmation, Penance, Orders. Matrimony, and Extreme Unction, are not to be counted for Sacraments of the Gospel, being such as have grown partly the corrupt following of t the Apostles ... for that they have not any visible sign or ceremony ordained of God." Mr. Dalton stated that the Protestant Episcopal Church ac cepted the "real presence." Such is not the case: Article XXVIII, . "Transubstantiation (or the change of the substance of Bread and Wine in the Supper if the Lord, cannot be proved by Holy Writ; but is repugnant to the plain word of Scripture, overthroweth the nature of a Sacrament, and hath given occasion to many supersti tions." To compare the Protestant Episcopal Church and the Roman Catholic Church, as Mr. Dalton has done, can be attempted, but the obvious conclusion of such a comparison shows that the two Churches differ drastically. The '. differences are not minor ones as Mr. Dalton said indeed they are irreconcilable. Article XIX, the Church of Rome hath erred, not only in tiieir living and man ner of Ceremonies, but also in matters of Faith." The differ ences are innumerable: Commun ion in both kinds (Article XXX). the non-acceptance of purgatory and adoration of Saints (Article XXII i, the belief in predestina tion (Article XVII , the marriage of priests (Article XXXII), etc. These are only a basic few of the great differences between the Protestant Episcopal Church and the Roman Catholic Church. The Articles of Religion show unmistakably that the Protestant Episcopal Church is in no way connected physically or spiritual lyto the Roman Catholic Church. It is truly a Protestant faith. James II. Thompson Editor: Probably you will be a little as tonished to get a letter from a German student concerning the new rules for freshman women. I am living with Dave Davis in an international student house and I read in the "Tar Heel" about those "new rules." Natura lly, I am not familiar with situa tions at your University, how ever, I hJpe you will be interest ed to hear the opinion of a Ger man student about the problem. Maybe, according to special sit uations it is found inevitable to clcse doors at 11 p.m., but I can not understand why students are in favor of this rule regard people as machines that feel in clined to do a wanted work, whe never they are supposed to. And in my opinion this is not the aim of real pedagogues. After all, if you are willing to work, yoa can advance in your studies far easier and quicker, too. I do hope this special rule will vanish as quick as posible, for America is usually rega-ded as the mother land of democracy and freedom, and in my opinion, this rule does n't agree with freedom of study! Some may reply, the American freshman are one year younger than the' German ones, and be cause of this fact it is necessary to establish such rules, however why establish such rules in a Uni versity? Stricter rules in the schools, that's what I am in favor of, because I heard from an Ame rican professor that the Ameri can schoolboys and girls are able to do what they think is right. Moreover, I believe this new rule is wasted effort for "Was Hams: hen night lernt, lernt Hans nim merniche." Before closing I would like to explain how students here con duct their studies. When some one takes courses he is supposed to attend them, but nobody is looking after ,f him and so if he does not like to hear lectures he stays away. I believe this is a good thing, becauseb y means of this freedom one learns to stand on his own two feet. From Ameri can students, I learned that you have to undergo an exam almost every fortnight. In this case w; are luckier, because we have lo undego only two exams. After the 4, 5, or 6 semester starts the so-called "vorexamin" and when we believe ourselves capable of passing the final exam, we ask for admission concerning the "vo rexamcn" tgere are some varia tions between the faculties. Hans-Jurgen Schoiuigel Editor: I have been reading with in terest the letters in the DTH con cerning the nebulous differences between the various religions. In this respect religion is a great paradox. The most basic dogma of any Christian religion should be to love thou fellow man as thyself regardless of his belief. Basically any Christian religion should be resolved down to this idea. Yet, history is full of in famous deeds committed by reli gious men and atheists against each other. Thousands of lives have been lost in fighting for the RIGHT dogma. The friction which exists be tween various sects stems from the belief of each sect that they have the TRUE religion. These various sects have "the word" and furthermore they are duty bound to spread this "word" to the "unbelievers." In most in stances in history the "unbeliev er" was not very happy or willing tr receive "THE word." What followed is history. The more religious a man be comes, the more he should love his fellow man. In many cases, however, he has not been very kind to people who hold a dif ferent belief. Some very religious people are very narrow minded and intolerant when it comes to recognizing other faiths. These people know that they have THE religion and therefore the other man's faith must be wrong. Of course in our modern world we have learned to avoid actual physical violence in most in stances when we disagree. But if we are not careful we will at least condemn the other fellow when he disagrees with us on such a basic princiole as reli gion. Will we ever know which is THE reliion? Jim Merrell .? Editor: There seems to be a no more prevalent, popular, and irresponsible practice today than that of quick ly scanning the globe and pointing a condemning finger at the foreign policy of the U..S. government and those responsible for it. This practice is particu larly in vogue among editorial writers,' columnists, and some ivory-tower college professors. They give the impression of coming from Jhe "Monday morn ing hindsight and know-it-all schoot" They delight themselves and others in pointing out "aistakes" and "inconsistencies" in the application of our pre sent foreign policy. Such a practice is understand-, able but regrettable. Almost everyone thinks he knows something about the problems of the world. This article is in no way meant to discourage con structive criticism and popular debate concerning the international issues that face our nation to day rather it is meant to encourage such action. But. the point is this: let us be more thoughtful and well-informsd when making our criticisms and sug gestions and even cautious. Let us not htrp on one individual action by our State Department with out making an endeavor to get some picture of the overall policy context in which the action was under taken. Let us not resort to namealimg and mud slinging when we could be using our' tfme 'and minds in considering the realities and probable resolutions of our problems. But also let us -not be so insensible as to seek ultimate solutions to all of our problems on the world scene, nor expect our leaders to find the ultimate answers to all these problenrs. And above alL let us place more confidence and support behind our present leaders who are closer to the realities than we are, and who did not gain their offices by accident. It is very true that the United States is tsday in timately involved in a crisis-packed situation which bodes continuing danger for this country. But there is real hope to be had if the American people are willing to join with their leaders in making a level-haded appraisal of the realities of the ex ternal threat and our own potentialities and limita tions. There are those who say the communists are goin to -in bv default, due to the present state of our foreign policy. Well, I, for one, am convinced that the communists will never win due to the fact that our foreign policy faces difficulties. They can win only when enough people are willing to sit back and sav they are going to win bv default. It is true that many countries of the world to day seem to b? "itching" to take a swine at the United States. But it is doubtful that this is due in whole or even in part to the "failure"of our foreign policy in recent years. We have made many gains in recent years closer co-operation with the UN, the Middle East, disarmament and atoms-for peace a more equitable policy toward all the nations of proposals thit have caotured the imagination of the ing of the free world's unity and defense by our world for their sincerity and fairness, a strengthen sponsorshin of the Southeast Asia Treaty Organiza tion (SEATO) and our co-cperation with the Bagh dad Pact, the continuation of a practical and vigor ous aid program designed to further the internal development and progress of the -utwlerdeveVovd countries, and the full acceptance of our responsibi lities as the bulwark of free-world defense. At the same time we have been faced by an unrelenting nemy,bloc of nations who "have it in" for the United Statss and who take advantage of inevitable grievances and conflicts in the world to foment dis content toward the United States. The communist nations are determined to pursue their totalitarian goals if it means competition in every conceivable field, and they are willing to use any means (wit ness Eastern Europe). There are a lot of unsolved and insoluble probl ems in the world. The American people must learn to live with their problems. The problems we face today will not become less-aggravating when the present administration leaves Washington. So often in foreign policv there is no choice between "good" or "bad" policies rather it is a matter of degree and alternatives depending on the changing world scene. The United States is just not omnipotent we cannot always have things the way we want them and there are many factors beyond, our control. The world of today and tomorrow demands of the American people poise, faith in their own system, and a determination to pursue a peace that has freedom as its counterpart. William E. Jackson, Jr. Sidelight Ed Rowland This Is a first attempt at column-writing; periodi cally this space will be filled with odds and ends that no other Tar Heel column writer sees fit to print. Today, for instance, I'm filling the space with excerpts from the Bingham Book of Bonerx, a note book kept by instructors in the English Department in which comments by "literate," "educated," stu dents are filed. Most of these come from themes written by freshmen. "My desk is littered with miscellaneous objects," he said as he reached for' the gun. In selecting a wife, prettiness is not all; a good body is essential too. Eisenhower's athletic support for West Point was a great contribution. Dante: a writer of Chaucer's time who wrote Paradise Lost after he got married and Paradise Regained after his wife died: A new student has to make this decision rather rapidly because he is introduced to many vices at nearly all social events. (On the correct stance in golf): When he has chosen the correct club", he must then assume the proper stance with the ball midway between his legs. . I must pass my subjects and submerge .from the University of North Carolina with a degree. In many brotherhoods (fraternities) there are regular studing hours.
