It was ;r:itilingly obvious that not all fiateinitits ate in this situation, loi unlike the usual II (' pUK etlure, there was not a unanimous te.

Their merits should come out if there are sue h met its and if the reporter covers every thing. This should place a burden on the fraternities to tic all the facts not some. It is Rood to know that nt least the president of the IFC is willing to give information. It is hoped that others will follow suit. The time for truth has come, and if the liaternities have nothing to hide, and they shouldn't it is high time they opened their ptivate iron cm tain to the benefit of both, themselves and the academic community. Red China The I'uited States has again succeeded in misleading the 1'nited Nations with regard to giving Communist China a seat in the l.'nitcd Nations. However, the America's bal ance ol ower within-the I J.N. is slipping.

The hoi Id at present c an be even more awaie ol this country's existence by the very fact that a minor or major war is being start ed in the I ar Fast with the Communist Chin ese being one of the primary participants. What i appatcnt fuithcr from the General Assembly 1 1 -I'm vote is that the prestige of the Cuitcd States has slipped noticeably, and that if the Cuitcd States does not do some thing about this in a huny, it will have lost the balance of power it is trying so hard to hold.

Most have commented on the in te.-iof bcayty.of the structure. Many, felt that the il;rior was drab and dull and that the paintings ithin (': srranzed in no logical order. Others still were pleased with the. added classroom space. The new addition is a wanted one. It fills a void that haii befn on this campus for. a long time. It may do ita part to bring the cultural levpl of the campus upward, and perhaps will attract many.stu. dents who would not ordinarily journey to Raleigh to fe some ffrcat works of art. This type of addition is necessary to breed a higher intellectual level on this campus. It is hoped that additions such as this will be a part of the UNO. campus in the near future.

CYNTHIA A; Mtlodrama in One Very Short Act The scene is, the United States Destroyer Mitschcr, behind the forward turret. The time is 12:55, Saturday, Sepcmbcr 20, 1958. The destroyer is anchored a few miles off Newport, Rhode Island. The America's Cup Yacht Races a.-c taking place. A number of high Naval offic ials, a few civilians, one woman, and a civilian rqan are the dranatis personae. The latter seems to be the center of attention.

Oh, he is the rudder man, Mr. President. D.D.E. What's a rudder? Anderson That's for steering the boat, Mr. Presdient. D.D.E. Oh. (pauses) I'm bored. Anderscn-AVhat would you like, Mr. President? D.D.E. A niblet. Anderion-j-A niblet of what, Mr. Presdient? We have some very fine gruyere cheese on board, or perhaps smoked salmon would bo more to your taste? D.D.E. No no no. A niblet is something you hit a golf ball with. Andersoin--Oh - really? (pauses to look out to" see) Mr. President, if you look now you can see the yachts Columbia and Scepter jockey ing for the lead. DP-l though jockeys were something on the race track. Anderson (mildly perturbed) Jockeying, Mister President, is a term we in the yachting game use to describe two or more boats battling for supremacy. ' D.D.E. Oh - reaHy?

It is bringing news about the weather from the Raleigh-Durham Airport, messages from Lit tle Rock about integration and Ozark Orval and dreary, frighten ing ard depressing syllables and consonants from Quemoy and Mat su. I have ''often been proud of the actions of my country. In my own lifetime many memorable events have occured. In December of 1941, we entered "World War II; a smart move. In the immediate post war period, we bravely and skillfully executed the Berlin Air lif. In 19.")0, we entered the Korean War. Yet. there have been other times when I have been other limes of the actions of my country. In 1956 and for years before, we en couraged the peoples of-Eastern Europe to . revolt against their Communist rulers. Leaflets, es pionage agents and the-- Voice of America all told inhabitants of this area to rise and seek their rightful freedom. The people of Hungary did this. We sent Red Cress observers and called it a day. In 1936, the people of Israel joined with the French and the British in an effort to rid the Middle East, of Nasser: We re versed our stand and joined hands with Moscow backing the rotten government of Egypt. In the spring of 1958, the Vice President of'the United States made a trip to South America. While there, he was spit upon by a group of stu dents ir, Caracas. The President of the United States immediately dispatched 1500 Marines to Trini dad to show these Laitn peasants that the big brother to the North was as big as ever. In July -of 1358, a revolt in Iraq took the life of King Faisal. The President dis patched 12,000 Marines t0 Leban on and the British sent troops to Jordan in a show of force designed to call a halt to Arab nationalism and '.save western oil. One month later, the U. S. recognized the new Iraqi regime, withdrew many troops ana made concesions to the Arabs. Where is the logic? Now in September of 1953, we no longer turn our attentions to Little Rock, or Caracas, or Beirut, or Hungary. We think of two worthless, insignificant, rotten, fil thy " islands called Quemoy and iMatsu. These two small bodies of land are a stone's throw from the mainland of Communist China. They have very interesting points in their history. Never before has the islad of Formosa laid any claims to them. Always in the past they have belonged to the mainland of China. Recently, be fore the present crisis, the Amer ican military echelon ruled that the-stf two islands had no bearing on the defense of Formosa an could in all respects be writte off of the books. Now, where do we find ourselves? We find our selves hell bent for a general Var and on the road to final disaster. We are being dictated to by a sick old man who runs a corrupt government. Chiang Kai-Shek is forcing us into a position of de fending his mad scheme of cap turing the Chinese mainland. It is high time that he realized that he will never aijain set "foot on his birthplace, China belongs to the Chines e. Quemoy and Matsu should belong to the Chinese. The chief of state in China is sitting nt this moment in Peking. lie is not on Formosa. Chiang's position of insisting that he rules China is as fantastic as it the President of Costa Rica 'suddenly declared that Eisenhower was not the Pres ident of the United Slates. When is our State Department going to wake up to the Far East ern facts of life? When are we going to realise that the Com munists are in China to stay? When arev we going to stop giv ing money to Chiang for his insane schemes?
