LOPEZ Segregation Editor: I find it difficult to convince myself that Mr. Nick Bagdarsar ian in his October 8th article on "Segregation" in The Daily Tar Heel sincerely advocated the parochial views he presented. Nevertheless, the issues are of such moment as to demand some attempt at clarification. First, Mr. B., in his article, re fers to a calculated plot on the part of the "materially rich poli ticians up North (to) rule the destiny of our South." These are, he continues, the "masters whose primary objective in life Ls to subject a once proud people into the f jlth-infested mire of their own world." he then suggests that there is a- Southern problem and should be settled by the people here" as we see fit. regardless of the Supreme Court's opinion." He concludes by saying that the final test of all this is yet to come. Here I believe is a pretty fair presentation of Mr. B's ideas. It is on exactly these points that I would like to answer the talented editorialist. Since Mr. B. has an aversion to northerners I think it only fair to state that I am from the North Boston. Although, I do not wholly be ilieve this is s sectional issue I, nevertheless, feel compelled' to attempt a reconstruction of some of Mr. B's views. Northerners, needless to say, are not all greedy, inquisitorial Phillistines. Sad to say are not even all rich. However, it is a fact that in both s?ctions misconceptions do arise. For instance, emotionalism of the stripe evidenced by Mv. B. does give rise in other parts of the country to the feeling that th? South, as D. W. Grogan succinct ly voice it. is world apart. Son tinued stories of school bombings, Ku Klux Klan gatherings, capitu lations to mob violence (or the threat of it), and the sympathetic reception of demogogic fanatics . has given rise to a picture of the South that is often quite mistak- n en. ,I)oun here L find that the majority of people (of whom I hive com?, in contact with) are relatively exTn-tempered and ra tional in respect to integration. They feem to disassociate them selves' in whole or in part from the much publicized views of the Almonds, iFa.bus', Byrds, and Kaspers. .It was encouraging to read that the Attorney-General of North Carolina saw fit to ques tion. the validity of the "massive resistance" laws of a neighboring state. Again, it presents an interest ing paradox to people outside the South when they see a gov ernor such as Virginia's claim ing to .speak for the interest of the local citizenry and at the same time these said communi ties themselves drawing up re solves requesting that the schools be reopened, segregated or other wise. I personally believe that these politicians have made a serious miscalculation of public sentiment and are noxv fighting the desperate battle of the corn ered man. Again, Mr. B. infers that every xvaking hour of a northerner is preoccupied with the South. This, naturally, is far from the truth. In the .spectrum of local, state, regional, nat.'onal, and interna tional problems. The South holds no exalted position. However, the problem they do present is not a sectional one. Far from it! The obstinacy of the South in refusing to grant the very pre cepts upon which this country was founded (like liberty and equal opportunity (undermines what we as Americans have been taught to believe in. The dignity of man, the faith of our fore fathers and the fespect and ad miration this, country holds in the eyes of freedom loving peo ples everywhere -are all serious ly compromised. I repeat, this problem far transcends the boun dary of the Confederacy. It is a direct test of the ability of free men to build, govern and propet uate a society based on democra tic and equalitarian ideals. In light of this it Is easy to entertain a certain seme of frus ': tration when one sees the re peated attempts to induce the whole question to a local person al level. In regard to the Supreme Court, suffice it to say that the Court has interpreted the law of the land. The Court is the nec essary .balance wheel of our gov ernment and its decrees shall be enforced. It has survived Andrew Jackson and Franklin Delano Roosevelt. I feel certain it will survive Orval Faubus. Again, I reiterate this is not a "Keep The Pot Boiling, Folks'' 5 i - -s. -SyT-' r' S H.5fi - N,B u t-vv' -L. i "sw i v . r s - v. . .-- -! WE & .i..i..CTv fill -Hi - - -, ' .

My de sire is not to impress a crown of integration upon Southern heads, but to objectively examine the contents of your statements. I cannot agree that segregation is a Southern problem the en tire nation must bear the charge that discrimination is present among our people. However, oth er geographical areas of the na tion are actively meeting the problems anl progress is advanc ing with greater dispatch than is evident in most of the South. To say that one area of the nation "forcefully tries to .compel another society to discard its traditional standards in favor of its own" is preventing the facts. The rest of the nation has no desire to im pose its will upon the South be cause of selfish ends. In fact, no one geographical area should en ter the picture. This is a Constitu tional matter xvhich has been set tled by the Fouteenth Amendment. "No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of the citizens of the Unitel States." And has been strengthened additionally by the unanimous decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States. I must also mention the religious and moral supports pres ent in Judto-Chistian and Islamic faiths and the so-called "natural law." With these overwhelming sanctions, I believe that the rest of the nation and the xvorld rests upon firm foundations. In answer to your slanderous, ill founded, statements about politici ans and the rest of the nation (i.e., "filth-infested mire"), I need on ly to direct you to compare the following between the two geogra phical areas that have been men tioned: the contributions to man kindcultural, economic, political, religious and scientific, the stand ard of living, and Ihe acceptance point s;hould be avoided. PwfJj..,,tjmeithere wai something done, and since I don t know any other solution We' may as well follow' the past trend and have a re call. . -- s I fully realize that down to thi.? point this article may very xvell resemble an editorial in the Daily; Tar Heel. However, for the first time I am truly concerned with the policies employed by the school paper. As a student, perhaps too long, but nevertheless a student, I must pay this item called "fees." This is supposed to include the school paper. This alone is en ough to make me want to get a paper worth reading. However, this is not my miin reason. 1 have a very great love for the school and I respect it and those connected with it. Because of this I want others to do the same. When I think of th3 many Alum ni and friends of U. N. C. who re ceive this excuse for a newspaper, I feel sick at my :stomach. Who in Hell gives a damn about the process of the bir;h of puppies , except the mother or perhaps a Vet. I also resent t!ie implication that all Carolina Co-eds are pros titutes, especially when it is made by a person vho wouldn't make out in a house of ill repute xvith a hundred-dollar bill. it was mentioned that the ability to be for or against segregation was not a right. Here I must take' issue. People had the tirute to! e-, ercise' thVir rights and privileges to put forth their opinions ' on segregation. That time hiis past! The law and the courts- of the na tion have spoken, and in .tircie in . tegraUon must be a reality, Oth erwise the laws and rules of bur nation are a mockery, and our be liefs in "the rights of man" mere empty mouthings. "Yankee go home" is a crude and effective weapon in the hands of Communistic supporters, na tionalists and the Uneducated. It is hoped that no correlation is present, although one cannot deny the benefits that our enemies ac crue as a direct result of segre gation. In conclusion, only one reality bothers me (I sincerely believe that the people of the South and the nation will voluntarily inte grate! and that, is the fact that I never considered myself a "damn Yankee" until I came south I had the strangest sensation and belief that I was an Ameri can citizen.

The second year, at Caro lina I thought there was too much controversy, tut the paper was at least readable. Then, there ar rived on the scene the great God "Recall." Well, since I didn't care too much one way or the other I remained silent. Finally there came my third year. Once again there was a recall. I knew the editor fairly well and I liked him. He had many faults, but I won der who doesn't, (unless it isvper haps Cort Edwards). Again, being a young man with out a worry one way or the other I did nothing. This time there was an editor elected who did a verv pood job and was well liked. Now here is the twister, An actu al election!

Why does everyonf in the Daily Tar Heel attempt to serotype it?
