Events this week were not as
dramatic as those of weeks past,
fortunately, but as always, news
there was.
In the Far East. Red China de
cided to extend its one-week old
ceasefire on Quemoy and Matsu
for two more weeks. In the pre
vailing quiet Chiang Kai-Shek will
continue to remove civilians from
the off-shore islands and strength
en his garrisons there.
In Washington Prcsidcat Eisen
hower told his news conference he
would not press the Nationalists
to reduce their 85.000-man force
on the islands, but that he felt
keeping so many was illogical. The
remarks re-echoed those of Sec.
ol State Dulles who had said
Chiang Kai Shek would decide for
himself what to do.
The possibility that Chiang, with
U, S. approval and perhaps some
pei suasion, might voluntarily de
cide to cut back his troop strength
as a means of easing the For
mosa crisis was open. But Eisen
hower made clear such action
would not be a concession to Red
China.
fhilles will fly to Taipti next
Tuesday for talks with Chiang Kai
Shek. The meeting is expected to
clear up rumors that the two al
lies are at odds on policy. Dulles
is ;dso expected to seek some
agrtemen-t from the Nationalists
to induce them to agree with Red
Chira on some measure that will
arr.'Jnge lor a permanent cease
fire ?instead of the temporary one.

Pip's Quips

Methods used to attack Dr. Jer
rold Orne, University Librarian,
have been inexcusable. The antics
used in this campaign of discord
do credit to a high schooler.
It is fortunate that this cam
paign is not a mass niovement,on
the part of the graduate students.
It may well be that there are
legitimate complaints concerning
the operation of the Library. How
ever, the methods used to draw at
tention to these real and imagined
grievances were not honorable.
It is obvious that the "O.G.H."
committee wanted to get publicity
this they have gotten in full
measure but their cause could
have been advanced more rapidly
if they had appealed through the
proper channels.
If direct appeal to an admini
strator is not successful, the peti
tioners are justified in trying to
use other methods of appeal. Ap
peal over the head of someone is
most uncourteous if no attempt has
been made to talk the problem
out.
The recent campaign is especial
ly immature in that the petitioners
will not identify themselves. Thetr
crime was no light one.
Their marking on the walls is
small when considered in view of
the damage they have attempted to
do to the reputation of a man.
The librarian could not defend
himself because there was no
specific attack against his policies
until the "O.G.H.'s" committee's
lecommendations were delivered
to him anonymously.
Let us hope this form of action
will not be imitated in the future.
There is a student government
here which is at the disposal of
the students.
If the students have problems,
they should work through their rep
resentatives. This "O.G.H." cam
paign manifests an extreme lack
of confidence in the ability of the
student government.
Who is to place confidence in
the ability of the students to gov
ern therrrselves if they do not?
The giant bells of St. Peter's
basilica tolled a dirge as the
body of the Pope, encased in three
coffins, was lowered into the mas
sive stone foundations of the basi
lica. The ceremony itself was one
of extreme sadness.
By the end of the week, all but
a handful of the Cardinals who
will elect a new Pope were in
Rome. And as they gathered. Com-.
munists were attempting to cast
popular suspicion on the forth
coming conclave.
The Reds have charged that
Americans, French, Germans and
Italians would negotiate over the
candidate to be chosen, and that
the American Cardinals were try
ing to organize the outcome. .
The traditional nine days of the
church's mourning will end today,
and with the arrival of Sec. of
State Dulles in Rome to attend the
final requiem mass may herald
Ued efforts to introduce political
overtones into the balloting. 50 of
the 54 Cardinals are expected to
attend the election.
In the meantime, a predomi
nately Protestant group in the
United States contended to the
State Department that three Ro
man Catholic Cardinals would vio
late American law in voting on
the election of a new Pope.
Protestants and Other Ameri
cans United for Separation of
Church and State urged Dulles to
advise the Cardinals they may be
subject to loss of nationality if
they vote in the secret conclave.
The whole contention is based
on a section of the 1952 Immigra
tion Act which says a citizen
"'shall lose his, nationality by . . .
voting in a political election in a
foreign state or participating in an
election or plebiscite to determine
the sovereignity over foreign ter
ritory." It cited a number of precedents
in its argument that the Vatican
City is a 'sovereign state.

Oh A Funeral

One hears almost daily the cry
that, the most important boost to
campus social life would come
from a new college union build
ing. This might be true, but oth
er ,changes would also have to
come if social conditions are to
improve.
The main argument used by the
jiiHnf nts of a new union build
ing is to point t, the very success
ful one over at X. C. Slate. I
spent several years at N. C. State
and I believe that 1 can consider
both sides of the issue. First of
all. State was in desperate need of
a union building. Before this un
ion was built there was no place
on the campus where students
could gather. Such is not the con
dition here at Carolina. The places
for gathering are here; they just
are not being used.
The crux of the problem of how
to arrange for boy to meet girl
under accepted social conditions
seems to be a mental or s state of
mind problem rather than a lack
of physical space at Carolina. To
put it bluntly, the average Caro
lina Co-ed seems to think it is
a disgrace to go to a place where
she can meet boys unless she al
ready has an .escortr Rather than
go out and show her fellow stu
dents she does not have a date,
she seems to prefer to stay in her
room and brood. I am not. posi
tive that it is in their rooms
where they stay, but it is obvious
Union
The time was 4:28 p.m., October 15, 1959. The
place was the first block of W. Franklin St., Chapel
Hill, N. C. A funeral was passing. You ask what
was so momentous about that. Nothing, ordinarily.
As a matter of fact, nothing was so -momentous
about this funeral. It was just another funeral. I
noticed first the hearse and then the other cars.
Negroes occupied them. Still nothing momentous
you say. Read on. Two males, about college age,
I'd say, were standing on the sidewalk -watching
the funeral go by. Now comes the clincher. Those
boyj;, both white, were standing there jeering at
that they are in hiding somewhere.
This attitude is contrasted by
the attitude of the Raleigh girls
from the three girl's Colleges, Rex
hospital, business colleges and
working girls. These girls come
to the State Union to meet boys, the passing funerai. They called out such remarks
not with them. It is easy to meet as "Another 'nigger' gone," and "We want another
and to obtain the names of ten one( just lijce tne other, one," and "That's where
or fifteen girls within one or two the rest of you blacks oughta be." There were mor?
hours under these circumstances, such. utterances, but I just wanted to give you the
Truthfully, those girls are not general idea. Got it?
Now lo you know why anyone would take the
time lo sit down and write an editorial about a
funeral? Actually, this .isn't going to be about a
funeral. At least not the, funeral that wound its
way up Franklin St. this afternoon.
At first I wondered if the two boys, obviously

test, but they showed no outward signs of being
nearly as "'aloof'" as tiir average
Carolina C-ed. They are more

Actually, the large dancing area
of the State Union is mostly used
only for the more formal dances
under the influence of such beverages.
It puzzles me as to why two college students,
supposedly on the brink of maturity, would want
to publicly make such fools of themselves. It's &
shame, in a way, that they weren't in a state of
inebriation. Then they would have had an excuse,
of sorts, for such behavior. They may have thought
it was cute. Believe me, it wasn't cute. Oh, it may
have been to them and their buddies, if they have
any, but to anyone with any decency at all would
not have thought their little "show" to be so cute.
I sincerely hope the boys are reading this. Prob
ably they aren't, because they obviously don't have
the mentality to read a newspaper. I've wondered
how they even got in college, or for that matter,
how they ever got out of high school. Legally, I
mean. Now I don't profess to be perfect. I've done
my share of things I shouldn't have done. In a tulk
to the Press . Club , last week, Mr. Weimar Jones
said "We must damn the act, not the individual."
At the time I fully agreed with him. Now much to
my amazement, I am inclined to disagree somewhat
with his statement. Here I must about-face and
damn the individuals along with the act. I haven't
decided yet which was worse: the act or the in
dividuals. It's a pretty close race.
Cities Rights
With the closing of several schools in Arkansas
and Virginia, the segregation dispute shifted over
night from the area of demagogic politics to what
seems to have been a secondary matter up to now,
namely, education. For the first time, white parents
are confronted not with Confederate rallying cries,
excitement, and verbiage, but with the hard fact
that their kids are staying home all day or out
on the street instead of being in school.
Perhaps the best comment on this situation was
contained in a letter to the editor, signed "Cities
Righter," that appeared in the ARKANSAS GA
ZETTE recently:
".For over a century My People have gone to
school. They have become accustomed to it. It is
a tradition. It is a way of life. The customs and
traditions of many years cannot be changed over
night. A new way of life cannot be forced upon a
reluctant people. My People are not rsady for no
schools. They must have time . . .
"Personally, I am a moderate. I am neither for
schools nor against schools. I .-.peak only for lly
People ...
"By what rights does the legislature of a foreign
state (Arkansas) and its Governor say that the citi
zens of the sovereign city of Little Rock shall not
attend school? The constitution cf the foreign state
of Arkansas does not say that the citizens of Little
Rock cannot go to school. That is not the law, and
where the dancing area is small
er than the Yjendezvous room.
And the complete snack bar room
is certainly smaller than the G.
M. reading room. It seems al
most sacrilegious to suggest that
the historical furnishings of the
G. M. reading room could be re
moved to make way for "prog
ress," but this could easily be
done if space is the solution.
However, as I stated above, the
problem isn't lack of space, kut
one of mental attitude. Unless the
Carolina Co-ed will change her
opinion that going out to meet a'
boy instead of with one is a dis
grace, a college union twice the
size of the one at State would be
a waste of this state's limited
resources.
If we allow such vermin to continue to exist I have never said it was the law. Even if the con-
