Deur Editor:
I had wrongly heped that the
Daily Tar Heel was a'iove making
a maityr cut of The Great Pre
tender. Charles Van Doren - was
perhaps caught up in the schemes,
struggles, and unrealities of
"show business." tut he is sti 1 a
man who has strongly violated the
principles cf honor and truth: if
not in a legal, certainly in a moral
sense. He was almost overcome
by emotion when brought to in
vestigation, but we seem to have
forgotten that his expressions of
despaii, anguish, and concentra
tion, carefully rehearsed before
appearance" on nation-wide TV,
were no less convincing. His con
ic. s.sions proved that he has a de
finite concept of integrity, but are,
we to believe that he would have
given way to truth had his situa
tion not been exposed? Let's face
things; for The Pretender, hon
esty is the best policy only for the
ends f a policy, when there is no
other way out.
No doubt Van Doren possesses
a brilliant mind, and would be a
valuable addition to the English
department. Carolina would also
obtain much attention by offering
a position to such a nationally in
famous figure. But what kind of
reputation do we want? Certainly
not that of a school which
snatches up and excellent teacher
who has also been living on over
100.000 dollars and a great lie for
the past three years; who can no
longer remain a his former col
lege. As for his reception here,
any controversial proposal which
Van Doren presented to others
would always be doubted, for this
man has a reputation for once hav
ing rationalized his way from
truth. Academic and social integ
rity cannot be divorced.
One of the highest principles of
this University is the faith placed
in the Honor System. And if stu
dents are "on their honor not to
t cheat, steal, or lie, and to report
any violations of this code", how
could we consider hiring a man
whose name has become synony
mous with the word aisnonor
during the past few weeks? We
would thus be condoning the ac

Legislative Roundup
Dave Jones
The proposed constitutional amendment which
tion of a man who has sacrificed was discussed here last week has been dragged out

who told the truth only when
forced so to do. Or are we to
sacrifice the Honor System, main
taining that it applies only to stu
dents at the University cf North
Carolina. The final and greatest
irony could result when Van Doren
reported a student for plagiarism.
I wish to congratulate the Daily
Tar Heel on their policy in which
their eagerness to abandon prin
ciple for the glorification of the
intellectual is surpassed on'y by
that of Van Doren himself, and
whose broadmindedness has been
so successfully aroused by the

The battle was lost to the opponents of the
measure, but somewhere deep within the minds of
the members of the Student Legislature there hes
a master strategy. Already plans are whirring round
inside the heads of our legislators for the next
skirmish.
During the course of the week following the pass
age of the motion, David Grigg, the Second Highest
Executive Officer in the student body, appealed to
the Student Council to have the action set aside. His
request was basically the same argument ; that the
members of the legislature a few days before had
refuted.
However, the Chairman of the Student Council

They might as well have saved their breath.
This column charges that the Student Council
had already made up its mind what it was going to
do and was not interested in anyone's arguments,
much less those arguments put forth by Gary Greer
which laid bare all of the vice president's original
Government as though they were superior to it.
This action, and the very obvious biased and bel
ligerent attitude held by the Chairman and members
of the Student Council, points up some very definite (
needs for change in the current, clumsy over weight
ed judicial system.
But the first change must be made, not in the
area of reorganization or redefining of jurisdiction,
but in attitude. Shomehow it is difficult to imagine
what went on in the Council meeting on Thursday.
November 5, 1959 as taking place under the herit
age of English Common Law, the U. S. Constitution,
and evolutionary UNC Student Government.
Now there are two c6urses of action left to the
legislature in its fight to get ah issue before the
voters:
Firsts under the heading of "Surrender", it could
gracefully accept the decision of Mr. Fuller and his
court and go about handling the measure in the
manner which complies with his wishes. This would
be a complete surrender. Under the same heading,
the legislature could change the words in its by
laws to make its action O.K. in the eyes of the Coun
cil. Second, under the heading of "Action", the legis
lature could trim a few sails along judical row,
starting at the. top.
This possibility, and the need to have introduced
to the voters other constitutional amendments,
(particularly the ones concerning the preservation
of the jury system and a campus wide Venire) has
changed the cast of the problem and changed the
name of the issue being fought over.
It has likewise changed the battleground back
to the floor of the legislature.
I wonder if the very same cast will not be present
at the next round with the shoes on different feet.

13 Steps
Daar Editor:
I should like to point out to Theodore Crane,
Junior, a few absurdities, fallacies, and general non
sensical conclusions in his "good" article of October "
14, entitled "Thirteen Steps to Christianity. Let met
preface my remarks with the statement that I havef
only recently decided that this garbled article wasj?
an effort to construct an attack upon Christianity.
(I will not assume what he means by Christianity). 1
I think I show some presumption in coming to thi?
conclusion, for a logical, well constructed attack
upon anything at all is missing in the article.
In the first place, Mr. Crane never bothered to
define Christianity. To him it could mean worship
of Krystis of Glocken or it could mean an orgy ot
bacchantes. To what or to where, exactly, does Mr.
Crane propose to lead his readers? That one should
define the subject of his attack seems too obvious to
have to point it out to Mr. Crane. There are toi
many concepts of Christianity for a writer to as
sume that his readers know what is in his mind.
Secondly, precisely who are the "thousands oi
researchers" mentioned? At least one or two out
standing ones should have been named. And what
have they written? The reader is simply told that
"millions of words have been written, etc. . . . by
'.'thousands of researchers." If Mr. Crane is going to
appeal to these people as authorities, he should be
scholarly enough to indicate responsible objective
individuals in the group whose reputations are sul
ficient to warrant this appeal to their authority. The
present writer does not cjoubt their existence, but
is simply pointing out one of Mr. Crane's absurdi
ties. At least one reference could have been given
if Mr. Crane is basing his article on their findings.
But the crowning outrage committed by Mr.
Crane is his application of the conclusion of these
identity-less researcher. "The researchers conclude,"
wines ivii. v.'aiit-, iiiai cAicssivr v ui .-im jjjjing inui-
cates more than a 'weak will.' It indicates a sick
personality, usually made ill by stresses that be
gan long before the first communion was taken."
In short, they conclude only that excessive wor
shipping denotes a "sick personality, usually mads
ill by stresses that began long before the first com
munion was taken." Mr. Crane, on the other hand,
implies that Christianity, in its conventional conno
tation, prouces sick personalities. The thirteen steps
formulated by Mr. Crane would produce sick per
sonalities, no doubt, and if Mr. Crane wishes to call
this Christianity, why, then, tine must admit thai he
is entitled to do so. In fact, he may call it Judaism,
Mohammedism, Zen Buddhism, Zorastrianism or
even baseball. Of course, Mr. Crane would be a con
temptuous ass if he "labelled it with any of these ap
pellations. Sick personalities may produce excesshe
worshipping, but one should take the fact for what
it is worth only. To essay anything else is to insult
the intelligence of one's readers. Excessive worship,
in an Australian Bushman may indicate a sick per
sonality certainly nothing remotely resembling
Christianity in the conventional sense of the word..
Heavens! The idea is too preposterous to maintain!
Now. After having said all this, let the present
writer hasten to assure the reader that if Mr.
Crane's attack was upon Christendom, the whol
body of persons professing to believe in and to fol
the teachings of Jesus Christ, an attack is not out
of order. But let it be an orderly attack, logical,
rational, and at least not insulting to the mentality
of the reader! A splendid example of such an attack
is Sroen Kierkegaard's "Attack Upon Christendom"
which this writer urges all the readers of Mr.
Crane's "Thirteen Steps" to read. They will find
him most exciting. Mr.' Crane might read it also.

is that show business is show bus

more morally wrong than Ring

same principle applies. I do not
believe that the producers and
participants in these shows thought
that they were committing a sin
such as the disgruntled public is

opinion the only real wrong that
they have committed is per inn-.
I suppose this was the result of
the fhock of finding that they
