An Announcement Defence Secretary Neil McKlroy announced yes torday that the United States was safe from surprise attack. This is a mighty pronouncement, but in tin light of present day reality it means very little. It is olim.tted that it takes approximately twen t minutes for an intercontinental ballistics missil? to negotiate the distance between Russia and the United States. It is possible that after fifteen minut es of flight, the rocket might be detected and prep arations for enemy attack will be underway. Yet. this isn't quite enough time to protect the. United State from destruction and a law percentage of the population from slaughter. Sure, we knew it was coming, but so what! There are some statements that are significant and ate historically worthwhile, and then there are tlioe like the Secretary of Defense's. Pioneer IV 'I be bunching of 1 loneer IV is a momentous at lii' ement and U.S. scientists are to be mgratu laled for their work. There ought to be a sobering note injected into this week of happy achievement, and this note is that the Russians accomplished the same feat about a month before.

MrCuire is right that too much has been made of thi.s already, but it a person has the courage to send a statement of his feelings to GOO people, he has somewhat of an obligation to back it up publicly without crying about the lack of tact of the press.

Thi.s week is no exception. The cold war continues. Last week President Eisenhower said he will not budge an inch; Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev said he will not budge an inch. Although the tension still mounts, perhaps a ray of hope can be .seen. The Russian premier, Khrush chev, reversed himself and con ditionally agreed to a foreign min isters" conference on the Berlin crisis in notes that warned the German issue could cause war "a hundred times more serious" than all past conflicts. Khrushchev withdrew his rejec tion of the western plan for a for eign ministers' meeting alter pleas from visiting Prime Minister Har old MacMillan or Great Britain. Observers took it as a victory for the British statesman who was of ficially reported "cheerful" afler six glum days of icy negotiations. The Soviet notes handed to the ambassadors of the United SlaU-s. Britain. France and West Ger many urged a summit conference as having "the greatest chance" of success.

The First Duty Of A University Professor Editor: I am deeply disturbed by th underlying assumptions of the A;l isory Budget Commissions rec ommendations concerning the Uni versity at Chapel Hill. I refer to two ideas made explicit in the recommendations: 1 the faculty at Chapel Hill has a Mow work load' and therefore can take care of the anticipated increase in en rollment without additional aca demic personnel; and 2 "the State has a right to expect that the first duty of the teacher is to teach." Sec Vol. I. p. xii. It is the lattei assumption that is basic: the former derives from it. No one acquainted with what goes on in Chapel Hill would think that our work load is light. He would know of the long hours 'often midnight hours) spent in keeping up with the extensive and rapidly increasing quantity of new literature in one's field; in con tinually trying out and experiment ing with new pedogogical devices; in doing research and writing arti cles, monographs and books at the growing edge of knowledge; in serious, critical, searching discus sion of problems in one's area with in NSht Editor NANCY COMBES one's colleagues; in keeping contact with others of one's pro fession and their as yet unpub lished work and findings; in keep ing up with educational develop ments in one's area in other in stitutions; in working with grad uate and undergraduate students informally; in directing their re search and writing; in counselling them about their academic, voca tional and personal problems; in serving on committees and boards concerned with the life and poli cies of the University and the problems of the faculty and stu dents; in serving the community, state and nation in various ways in which only the specialist can; in teaching classes and grading papers; and in many other things all of which go into the making of a university and contributes to and enriches the education of her students and the life of the state and nation no.v and for years to cMiie. The idea that the faculty lias a low work load can only derive from those who think ol the uni versity professor solely as a teach er an J ol his w ork in terms of the number of hours he spends in the classroom per week. So it is the assumption that it is the pri mary duty of the university pro fessor to teach that needs to be exposed. The high school teacher can spend twenty hours per week in classroom teaching because the subject matter be is teaching is fairly cut-and-dried. He can rely upon textbooks to a considerable extent. His primary duty is to teach. Unfortunately it is often the case that college teaching is sim ply an extension of high school teaching. It can hardly be other wise when the college professor i.'. required to teach fifteen hours per week. I know, for I have done it. The students and the society are the one, wlio pay the greatest price for this kind of false econ omy. Their professors cannot be completely wrapped up in their subject-matter with an inquiring spirit, actively probing for new advances. How then can their stu dents be challenged and inspired by the intellectual enterprise? More often than not the "canned" material they are given is twen ty to thirty years behind the times, because their professors simply cannot keep up with the new advances in their fields. The best undergraduate colleges in this country require their professors to teach in the classroom only nine hours per week. But the case with a university is far more serious. The university is educating profes sional researchers, university and college professors, and professional people of all types as well as pro viding a college education for un dergraduates. If the professors arc required to teach twelve hours in the classroom and to work with large numbers of undergraduate students, they will have time and energy to do little, if anything, in the way of pioneering at the fron tiers of their fields: they will not be a'u.c to Keep fully abreast with what others are doing; their grad uate students will suffer and even begin their careers with an al ready obsolete education; in turn when they become college teach ers their studenis education will suffer from a compounded defi ciency; and from these undercdu caled pec pie will come high school teachers who will pass on their deficits to a still later generation: and so the society pays at many levels and at many times for this false assumption and the false economy based on it . A university is primarily a com munity of scholars engaged in ad vancing the scope of the human mind and refining its thought and sensibility in all areas of human concern end in training a new gen eration of scholars to join them and to continue their work. It is proper that an undergraduate col lege should be part of a univer sity; for in such a community the undergraduate is not merely taught from the storehouse of "canned" knowledge, but he becomes ac quainted w ith and perhaps excited and inspired by his contacts with creative, searching minds working at the frontiers of learning. It is absurd to think that we can have an educational system all the way from the elementary school to the university staffed with people whose primary duty is to teach and to demand from men of the various fraternities.

It is like expecting all the people involved in the food industry to be retail grocermen. How long would the food industry function without farmers and food procesers! But the farmer does not have a light work load simply because he spends very little time in retailing his products. It it as aosurd to expect a uni versity faculty to train others to advance human knowledge with out themselves being actively en gaged in pioneering work as it is to expect professors of medical schools to train physicians with out themselves being actively en gaged in medical work. We have a great university at Chapel Hill. It is the best invest ment this state has ever made. It is largely underwritten by the faculty itself in terms of low sal aries and long hours of work. This is unfair. It deserves to be streng thened and better supported. The underlying thinking of the Advisory Budget Commision, if it should prevail, would destroy it as a true university and the state and na tion would suffer for generations to come. E. M.

(5) When the bill is ultimately paid, Mr. Dod mond will automatically be cognizant of it and will notify the Office of the Assistant Dean of Student Affairs, which can in turn remove the notation from the student's permanent file." This is merely a service to the fraternities that may be used or not. Ed Moore is to be highly com mended for his work on this. Last spring, when the Campus Chest was unable to reach its desired amount, the IFC contributed a check for $100, pushing thc drive to $2003 and thus bettering its goal by $5.00. In conjunction with the Pan-Hellenic Council, a charity concert featuring Ralph Marterie and his orchestra was held. The proceeds, netting $500, went to the Negro Recrea tion Center here in Chapel Hill. It was decided to . discontinue this concert after last year due to the lack of general student support and interest. Even though thc fraternities and sororities had agreed to an assessment of i.ekets, it was felt that contri- buting to chariy in this manner wasn't in thc right ' spirit. At the preset time, the IFC, toegthcr with . the Pan-Hellenic Council, is sponsoring a blood ' drive among the fraternity and sorority members to make it possible for thc hospital to perform heart operations on children. It was decided last fall to allow thc Journalism fraternity, Sigma Delta Chi, to publish thc IFC hand book for the coming rush season. By doing this, Sigma Delta Chi will have a worthwhile project, and certainly the IFC will benefit by having what promises to be a better handbook. Through the kind efforts of Mr. Howard Henry, the IFC has recently acquired office space in the basement of Smith dormitory. This is somcthinj . which has long been needed.
