Another View On United Nations Carl H. Pegg Throughout the ages men have pondered the idea of some sort of league of states to settle interna tional disputes and to banish war. In 1878, when Bismarck's power was at its peak, an international peace conference in Paris branded offensive war as an international crime and called for a reduction of armaments and the creation of a permanent court, of arbitration. At the Hague Peace Conference in 1899 the great powers sanctioned the principle o? voluntary arbitration and planned the Hague Tri bunal. At the same time Leon Bourgeois, disting uished French jurist and statesman, drafted an im pressive plan for a society of nations and sought to persuade the governments of Europe to accept it. In the midst of the suffering and agony of the First World War, Bourgeois' idea won wide support in Western Europe and President Wilson soon stepped forth as the most eloquent and powerful champion of the League idea. The Covenant of the League of Nations was written into the treaties of peace. And while the League of Nations was a much weaker structure than Bourgeois had envisaged, millions of people soon came to believe and hun dreds of millions to hope that it would end the scourge of war and bring peace to the world. But the League proved uneqilal to the mighty task be fore it, and was wrecked by the new forces that de veloped in Germany, Japan, and Italy. When the second general war in less than a gen eration broke upon the world, the idea of an inter national organization as a means of preserving peace was at a low ebb. But American idealism came to its rescue, contending that the League failed primari ly because the United States was never a member and because the Soviet Union did not get into it un til it was breaking down. With such men as Cordell Hull and Franklin Roosevelt leading the way, the American people called for a new and more courag eous effort to devise an effective international structure. In the spring of 1945. even before the Second World War had come to-ian end, diplomats from fifty nations gathered in San Francisco and wrote the Charter of the United Nations. The new structure was quickly set up, and was soon beincr rocked by the East-West conflict as it struggled with some of the great isues of the day. Will the United Nations succeed where the League failed? While this question cannot as yet be answered, there are certain things that can be said with reasonable certainty. If the United Na tions is to take root and to succeed in its central purpose, it will have to have the support of the ma jor peoples of the world the Russians, the Ger mans, the Chinese, the Japanese, the Indians, the Arabs, the French, and the Anglo-Saxons. The real power of the United Nations is outside itself; it is an international structure solely dependent for life and strength upon the willingness of the nations of the world to use it and to give it life and strength. It is still a weak and fragile thing, and the domain of international life is still something of a jungle. To develop the United Nations into a permanent and effective international system will require all of the good will, faith, and ingenuity of which men everywhere are capable. It will be necessary to deepen and broaden the moral foundations of peace, not merely in a few countries but in all ma jor countries. It can be done, but the will to do' it will have to be strong and well-nigh universal. AT THE FOOTBALL GAME ; M H IB? - V-' ivvxx LXH v 4 . it' . , t g m Notes In Review Arthur Lessing Let's face it: last Tuesday evening's organ recital of Mr. Glen E. Watkins can only be described as a dismal event. The organist seems to be capable of displaying technique with considerable show. He also seems to have the ability to present the large varieties of sound that can be gotten from the instrument. But technique and sound do not guarantee music, and not once during the evening could one really say one was conscious of a musical experience. Either the music was of considerable stature but was badly performed, or the performance was decent and the music worthless. The artist opened the program with the Prelude, Fugue, and Chaconne of Buxtehude. The performance was chaotic. Fragments of music poured on other pragments, broken snatches of phrases heaped on other phrases without, as far as I could make out, the slightest regard for order and structure. And this is a Fugue and Chaconne The speed of Mr. Watkins systematically destroyed any musical sense that could have possibly survived this performance. The in tended brilliance (why otherwise the speed?) was lost in the jumble of notes and harmonies. Daquin's "Noel: Grand Jeu et Duo" was perhaps the only work of the evening which was given a clearly deliniated performance. I is a pretty set of variations built on a tune which sounds suspiciously like the popular "In an English Garden" song.. The compositions of Bach which followed were all presented in their most superficial guise. Little or no attention was given to nuance and structure. The artist did little more than skim the sur faceof these compositions. Again Mr. Watkins conception, of tempo erased all depth and expression to be found in these works. WThat was most irritating was the lack of insight that became more and more obvious as the organist performed these works. If anything, Bach's great music is neither superficial nor surface. As this com poser's constructs his composition uoon a musical form, there is a journey into the great depths of expression that music alone can re veal. This expression must be there in the performance in order to make the music meaningful. Without ii, there is no music but only sound. After the performance of two rathe; ridiculous works by Searle Wright, a contemporary composer, the rest of the evening seemed to be devoted to less and less music and more and more sheer sound. A undistinguished modern work by Edmund Haines revealed plenty cf variety in sound, but little in music. The French composers represent ed on the program, Langlais and Dupre, again seem to specialize in volume and bombarding the audience with lots of sound. How much of it was music is hard to say really. There is nothing wrong with sound as long as it is also music. Both' in his selection of the program and in his performance, Mr. Watkins seemed to have favored the former.

Suit f (be ynivrrv?y N.rlh (rr!,ii.i v u f i f . r . t A most regret ;ibly ignorant re view of the Petite Musieale, pre sented last Sunday night, appeared in today's TAR HEEL. Some peo ple, who did not attend the con cert, might think Mr. Lessing knew what hp was talking about. The artists, too, might read it and wonder why they bothered to per form for "pigs!" It was an en chanting evening such as not heard out of the metropolitan areas. I, and others who had the privilege of enjoying the concert, was thrilled with the music and moods it evoked. Name Witheld by Request Editor: It was during the afternoon din ner hour at a fraternity house. Several of the guys were discuss ing usual after dinner topics: "Who're yo'i dating this week end?" "Mary. Remember? The girl with the boy you birddoged last week." One of the pledges entered the conversation with a question that indicated he was doing a little ad vance planning for a weekend in the not-too-distant future. "When is the Fall Germans con cert?" asked the excited pledge. "Concert! What concert? was the return answer. "Haven't you heard? The Playmakcrs have rented Memorial Hall for the next three months. That leaves any plans for a concert out in the cold." ''But what about Johnny Math as and Louis Prima " "Forget it! There just won't be a Germans this fall not without a concert!" The Playmakcrs have a bcauti- eompletc with concert, want we?" This is a question asked by a puz zled pledge. N. I). Procschcr Editor: As a former student at U.N.C. and an avid Carolina fan, I must register official protest. What I saw on television this past Sat urday disgusted me no end. I'm not talking about the football game itself; it was great to see U.N.C. win! I'm referring to the cheer some of the Carolina students were sing ing: "I don't give a damn for the whole state of Maryland, for I'm from Carolina! . ." To me-and I'm no old fogey this was the height ol bad taste and poor sportsman ship!!!! It was loud and clear enough to be hoard on TV, and I know the fans from Maryland must have felt insulted by such a display because it was uncalled for and had nothing to do with what was going on down on the field! After all, they were the guests of U.N.C. at the game, and this was anything but hospitality. I felt it was completely incongru ous with the spirit and traditions of Carolina, and I was ashamed to hear such a thing! I've talked with enough people to know that others feel the same way. A letter like this may do no good, but, at least, I've gotten it off my chest! ... Chuck Woolen , Dear Mr. Wolff: I can only say that if that re view of THE DECLINE OF THE AMERICAN MALE wasn't up to standard, what wonderful pieces you must write when you are in that state of grace!

One would think a small portion of the "Greek past had been transplanted in a set ting of colonial architecture as he gazes at the towering columns standing sentinel to the passing campus life. With a building ex alting the heritage of the theater, why would the Playmakcrs need Memorial Hall for rehearsals? No! This must be the product of a joke! Surely the Playmakers have been misunderstood again. These talented counterparts of the Carolina world would not allow the Fall Germans to go uncon certed. Many Carolina students hold vivid memorieso f the past Ger mansThe football game, the Sat urday night dance, and the Sun day concert. There were fraternity parties, laughter. One wonderful weekend. "We will have a Fall Germans surpasses that of many of our -mast August journals. Jean Eimis Director of Publicity Random House, Inc. Editor: Sunday evening two skilled and ; dedicated musicians shared with the University Community the f ruiis of manj weeks of careful study. A grateful . audience re ceived the efforts of Walter Golde and Ethel Casey with obvious en thusiasm. An entire recital of the choicest Debussy song cycles is a rare treat indeed, and one scarce ly to be found outside the west ern world's greatest centers of population and culture. Mrs. Casey's voice, and music ianship were equal to the diffi culties of the music. She ap proached her task of recreating Debussy's settings of symbolist poems with evident humility. Her interpretations were thoughtful and oftentimes very moving. Whi'.e the three "Songs of Bilitis ' remain my favorites, I was great ly impressed by her performance of the demanding "Proses Ly riqucs" and was pleased to be in troduced to new beauties in the second set of "Fetes Galantes." Mr. Golde, whose wealth of background and breadth of mu sical scholarship was doubtless responsible for both the idea and the preparation of this unique re cital, provided informative intro ductions and presided at the key board with his usual superb skill and authority. One readily felt the rapport between the artists which again and' again create 1 moments of great beauty and ex pressiveness. To both singer and pianist we offer sincere thanks for enlarg ing our horizons and for deepen ing our appreciations. A further word of appreciation is 'also due to the G.M.A.B. which promotes such programs; to Russell Link the energetic chairman of the Petites Musiciles for his sincere interest in providing fine per formances of serious music; "and to whomever was responsible for the improved physical arrange ment of the Graham Memorial lounge. Joel Carter Edil'or: It seems that the staff of The Daily Tar Heel have read their owri articles and those of- Time magazine to such an extent that, they are excluded from the world of reality. Perhaps it would be well to inform them that the ma jority of Southerners are against integration . and are not "hate mongers." Most people . south of the Mason-Dixon line do not hate Negroes but rather are deeply im bedded with custom and tradition. One of these traditional beliefs is that segregation is the right social pattern,, and that integra tion is morally, socially, and in tellectually wrong. Customs might be rather absurd to a freethinker or liberal, but I think if you ex : amine these groups you will find prejudice, custom, and tradition within them also. Of course cer-' tain "arty" liberals-think' South erners ar artificial, but really, wn's artificial? - For your information, the pri mary issue is no lohenr 'integra tion vs. sesrp?3ion,.but Federal power vs. state's rights.-If t inte gration is to corne, it must come slowly, or yon cannot exneet peace and the absence of "hat mongers." Never, in the eourse of ViJcjtv have people abandoned traditions uieh as segregation and state's rights overnight. Orval Faubus was a moderate, but he was forced to defend his and his state's actions and beliefs when the Supreme Court denied the people of Little Rock time for acceptance of this sudden change in their social pattern. Arkansas's integration program was. well under way, and no one had raised any objections. When Faubus was warned of anticipa tion of trouble at Little . Rock's Central High School, he sent in the National Guard, not to kill in tegration and defy a court order but rather to keep peace and or der until integration would be accepted. Your champions of humanity arid civil rights Earl Warren, G. Mennen Williams, Thurgood Mar shall, and Paul Butler are great ly responsible for the violence that has resulted. Of course the Deep South says, "Never," for now they detest the Yankee liber als who have cried and fought for the cause of humanity. (They must have a cause or they would find themselves , quite boring.) These liberals have impaired race relations and sectional relations in such a way that , the good will brought on by the two world wars may never be restored. Just a court decree would not have been so injurious; and maybe it would have helped speed up the evolu tion; but no, they cry out for revolution, not evolution. If there is blood to be shed, Faubus, Almond, and Eastland will not be the men responsible. Joe Greene Moonglow Joe John Harper's Bizarre probably won't be, much of the time (And if you joined us late you probably got the idea anyway. In fact, it will probably appear weekly, but we thought better of calling it that. . (Actually we could have avoided copyright vio lations there too, but we put those thoughts away where, incidentally, we hope no one will chance to look. (And then, on the other hand, we might be tied up some week with quizes and be unable to make the deadline, which would tend to disillusion any number of readers we had by that time acquired. (Of course, we hope to eventually have a fol lowing. Every writer does. It's apparent even on this selfsame page. But in an effort to appeal to the frat men, Carolina Gentlewomen, members of var ious religious groups, an occasional Republican, as well as the dorm men and Carolina Un women, et az, we will attempt to keep the column amiably ambiguous. Not to say, however, that we are pro-everything. In general, we are opposed to sin, as such, and also feel the "right way" about motherhood. See? (Yet our's will not be the crusading spirit, ex pecting during the coming months to come, in con tact with neither sin nor motherhood. (We digress.), but we like the way it sounded. Bell rings. Class is dismissed. J. Harper ". . . . a small group of college students who don't really repre sent anybody." The above quotation is taken from an editorial of a leading state newspaper. It appeared late last year in conjunction with the con troversy which arose out of a resolution passed as the North. Caro lina Student Legislative Assembly. - The author appeared greatly amused at the "funereal, sternly im portant reaction granted the little rebellionism of a small group of college students who don't really represent anybody." He seemed to think that the "unimportant" students were merely having their little laugh at the pompous severity which received their resolution in of ficial, state circles, , . In the current renaissance of the dispute, the above-mentioned newspaper, has thus . far. confined itself to merely, reporting the de cision of the Governor and his Council of State. That decision, how ever, smacked of an equally disdainful attitude. This year, representatives , to the Assembly will be required to present letters ascertaining, sponsorship by college presidents in or dcr to use the Capital again. - . . . . Although, not a particularly unreasonable request, it contains a vicious implication. Had this demand been isolated, it probably would be accepted with butTittle retort. Following as it does upon the rela tive heels of a widely debatecL issue, particularly one involving the race question, it cannot be condoned. v If delegates are to bt confined by suggestions of repercussions from their representative schools in the event legislation proves un acceptable to certain individuals, then it is senseless for .them to con vene at all. Under such a system of censorship, bills presented in the Assembly would unquestionably prove to be unimportant, irrelevant, and most dull. --' Efforts to please all citizens at all imes will inevitably prove unsuccessful. The Governor, as evidenced by-his recent attacks on the State Attorney General, obviously is attempting to please the group which, in his questionable estimation, is more politically advantage ous. In his interests, I hope he has not forgotten the great numbc of. voters and prospective voters now attending North Carolina's colleges and universities. . Regretable is the actual crux of this entire question lack of con fidence in the ideas and ideals of modern college students. They are constantly being repressed and ridiculed by ignorant, narrow-minded, and outright asinine individuals. Voters on the 1957 free-choice-of-marriage resolution were dually characterized as fearful rabble-rousers and childish pranksters. I am sure they were neither. They merely expressed a dissatisfaction with the 'precepts by which our society is governed. In this, they failed tc conform to the policies handed down and dictated by the all-knowing ciders. . .1 sincerely hope. that the 1958 group will rise above its environ ment, and prove as individualistically forthright and sensibly realistic a its predecessor. " " ' ' r '-' ' - . - - - - On Rock 'n' Roll Ken Wheeler There can be no doubt that' the greatest kind or music ever written exists today in the form of the teenagers' favorite, "rock n' roll." Our music, friends, outshines any xother in words, music, and beat. The majority of the people, supporting such insufferable melodies as -"Nutcracker Suite," "Funi culi Funicula," and ."Tennesee Waltz" are wrong. We are right. Allow me to prove ik Let us take, from random choice, a "Rock 'n' roll" hit tune of todaytfor example. How about the very beautiful "How the Time Flies"? Here we go. It starts with a beautiful chorus ' softly hum ming incomprehensible sounds which the listener can make out as "Dixie-doo 00 00", or something on that order. After this effective beginning, the solo ist brings us verse one: "How the time flies, when I'm near you. When I'm near you, how the time flies. Seems like heaven when I'm near you. When I'm near you, seems like heaven." Marvelous, friends! Now enters a deep-sea bass, who retaliates with lovely, but again incomprehensible lines with such words as "kiss or two," "sun rise" and "night pass" somehow slipping through the fog. This chant sets the stage for. verse two: "How the time flies, when I'm near you. When I'm near you, how the time flies." . A saxophone and cornet entertain us until th soloist recovers his nerve and glides into the third and last verse: "How the time flies, when I'm near you, etc." t . . 1 Isn't that lovely? How can human ears adjust to trash like the 1812 Overture when teenagers of fe such elegant compositions? Shun these classical music feinds, friends! Show them the light. Care to try a faster current hit? "Rockin' Robin ' should do . The lyrics of this ballad go "He rocks in the tree top all the night long, rockin and a , rollin' and singin' his song. Every little birdy and every chickadee likes to hear the robin go Tweet, tweet, tweet.'" This is apparently the work of a genius. - Want to hear more? Then don't eat this week: friends. Rush to the nearest record bar and gather all the tasty tidbits 45 RPM discs have to offer. Hail the Zeus of Music, the King, the Exalted! All . hail "rock 'n' roll!"
