Memo To The Honor Councils:
Do Something About Library Thefts!
We would like to assume that
the honor system is put into .prac
tice by the student body of this
University, and would even like to
be able to assume that students are
capable of governing the actions
of other students, but, as we have
noted in earlier editorials, we
simply cannot find fact to substan
tiate our desire for this faith.
Dr. Jerrold Orne, U.N.C. head
librarian, has informed us that last
semester 380 Modern Civilization
I & II textbooks were "taken with
out authorization" from the Under
graduate Library. Without intend
ing to put words in Dr. Orne's
mouth, we might suggest that a
good straightforward synonym for
"taken without authorization"
might be "stolen."
The books have not been recov
ered, yet they certainly are need
ed this semester. Consequently, the
Library will be forced to replace
them, at no inconsiderable cost.
Surmising that the average dis
count cost of those books is prob
ably five dollars, the total bill for
replacement will be somewhere
around nineteen hundred dollars.
That is quite a bit for the Library
to spend because a number of stu
dents are dishonest.
We know that the student library
committee works hard to prevent
su.cVi incidents, yet we do not know.
of any other agency that attempts
to stop them. From time to time
a platitudinous proclamation comes
from the student government of
fices damning such behavior, but
what good does this do?
Thefts are the business of the
attorney general's staff and the
honor councils. But what have they
done? Has a determined investiga
tion been undertaken to discover
the whereabouts of these "mislaid"
books and to punish the people
who "mislaid" them? We have not
heard of any.
It is true of course that neither
the attorney general's staff nor the
honor council could have prevent
ed these thefts, but it is not true
that nothing could be done about
punishing the thieves. We suggest
that an investigation get under
way at once and not cease until
enough offenders have been ap
prehended to make the decisive
point clear: we will not tolerate
such inconsiderate, dishonest, self
ish actions on this campus.
The time has come for the judi
cial branch of student government
to wake up to the fact that pre
ventive action as well as discipli
nary action must be taken. We
must not expect to kill dishonesty
after it has been evinced; we must
nip it in the budding stages. The
rights of other students must be
respected by each individual, and
the judicial department must see
that proper direction is given to
preventive programs. Now, before
it is too late and there is no honor
system at all.
Three Cheers Tor Our Side
Durham attorney Blackwell M.
Brogden, cheerleader Al Roper and
head cheerleader Tim McCoy are
not to be commended in their ac
tion against Duke basketball star
Art Heyman. They have sworn out
a warrant for Heyman's arrest on
a charge of assault and battery be
cause he, so they say, hit one of
them while leaving the court at
halftime in last Saturday's game.
Heyman goes to trial Monday in
Durham. Undoubtedly the prose
cution, with lawyer Brogdon run
ning the show, will conduct a hot
headed, partisan, somewhat ludi
crous case. The odds are that they
will lose; we certainly hope so, at
any rate.
We have a suspicion that, if Hey
man did poke one of these stu
dents, they probably deserved it.
Duke students who were near the
incident say that they were pro
voking the sophomore star, and
that his action was warranted. For
once, we side with Duke and Art
Heyman.

The Daily Tar Heel is published daily
except Monday, examination periods
and vacations. It is entered as second
class matter in the post office in Chapel
Hill, N. C, pursuant with the act of
March 8, 1870. Subscription rates: $4
per semester, $7 per year.
The Daily Tab Heel Is a subscriber to
the United Press International and
utilizes the services of the News Bu
reau of the University of North Caro
lina. Published by the Colonial Press,
Chapel Hill, N. C.
. For the most part the calibre of
sports writing, particularly in
North Carolina, is remarkably low.
An undue reliance on the cliche,
the catchy phrase and, especially,
upon innuendo and rumor for story
material has made the sports writ
ing profession one that is not ad
mired in the trade or the nation.
There are a few, however, who
transcend these limitations. Arthur
Daley in the New York Times; pro
fessional pitcher Jim Brosnan,
author of The Long Season; Ed
Fitzgerald of Sport magazine; the
late Grantland Rice and Ring
Lardner and John Lardner these
are among the few who excel in a
trade marked by hacks. With the
publication of the New Yorker ar
ticle, however, Robert Rich is jus
tified in applying for admission to
this select circle.
The profile is incisive, arresting
and, most of all, valuable as a study
of a complex person and a re
markable athlete. We recommend
it to athletes, fans and people who
just like good writing for a pleas
urable, educational reading experience.

A Japanese Student Looks At His Nation
The Author of this article is
presently a student of Political
Science al U.N.C. and is an in
structor of judo. He attended
a Japanese university and was
editor of his student newspaper,
the AOYAMA TROJAN. The
Editor.
I believe I am a conservative
"Japlish" man, because I inter
pret the sterm not only as a mere
combination " of two languages
but as a child of the United
States and grandchild of England
economically and politically.
A dramatic scene of American
open-door policy was enacted in
1853 when Commodore Perry
first Visited Japan with the Pres
ident's formal letter to our Em
peror. His statesmanship-like di
plomacy not only won the respect
of the Japanese but laid the
foundations of the famous "his
toric friendship" of a hundred
years ago.
Actually, Mr. Perry is far bet
ter known in Japan than in the
United States. An imposing
monument in his honor was
erected as a father of Japan on
the shores of the beautiful bay
of Yedo (later called Tokyo) in
1901.
What was wrong in our diplo
macy in the process whereby iso
lated Japan became one of the
great modern industrial nations
of the world? A hundred efforts
have been made in our country
since the Second World War un
der U. S. assistance to recon
struct Japan as a more democrat
ic nation.
General MacArthur's policy of
warm protection of our Emperor
Hirohito won the highest respect
of the Japanese under the dan
gerous circumstances because
during that time, the Commun
ists were moving to destroy
every existing system. His popu
larity did not always come from
our traditional feelings toward
our Emperor, but from our deep
belief in American democracy
and in his policy to respect the
soverienty and tradition of a na
tion. What happened at the demon
stration concerning the new U.
S.-Japan security pact? What
would it mean in the future? No
simple answer can be given un
less we realize that Japan is now
in the second process of a big
cultural change and unless we
analyze the characteristics of the
national culture of Japan, how
different it is from that of China,
and how similar it is to that of
western countries.
Problems Today. A college edu
cation is getting to be as popular
as a high school education used
to be. On the other hand, a high
school education becomes more
and more a specialized one to
prepare students to pass entrance
examinations to colleges or uni
versities. There is a certain gap
of ideas and interests between
the young generation and the old
generation. What should remain
in our society out of our own
cultural heritage and what should
be taken from the introduced
culture?
Present Japanese are not like
Japanese in the past. They are
not spiritually recovered yet
from war experiences, and they
still keep the statute of constitu
tion established at the end of
war under which the people
don't have any military service
obligation at all, even though
economic growth is unbelievably
dynamic 16 annual growth
was the highest in the world in
1959 and 1960. The Ikeda Gov
ernment is predicting steady
growth over the next ten years
of around nine per cent annual
ly. About Red China. There is a
business pressure group in Ja
pan which insists on dealing
more with Red China. But in
general we do wonder if we
could get any advantages from
a pure economic outlook. Com
munist China has been using and
If
HIDEO KUSAMA
will continue to use her business
negotiations with Japan as her
instrument to encourage neutral
ism, separation of Japan from the
United States, and finally to use
the industrial ability of Japan
for her own domestic develop
ment. We can't exist with Red
China economically because we
can't live with her politically.
Both Japan and China are sen
timental about the old folk ways,
and this is due largely to their
similar cultural and geographical
backgrounds, but this sentiment
is not so strong as the national
pride of the Japanese people and
their interests in more demo
cratic institutions of government.
We disagree with Communist
China on the basic way of life
while we can imagine what is
going on in her country through
our own experiences during the
war. Her economic progress is
that of pure military industriali
zation, which is progressing at
the cost of the serious neglect of
agriculture, welfare, individual
freedom and human rights of her
people. This period in China is
much like Soviet Russia used to
be in her early stage. In the
case of China, this tendency
might last longer than" in the So
viet Russia because of China's
over-population and her limited
natural resources and technical
ability.
About Demonstration. We spent
a very critical and shocking half
year from the demonstration to
the election last year. I regret
very much that the great scenes
of masses of the rioting students
on television created the bad
image in this country that all
Japanese were the same. To tell
the truth, as a Japanese student
I didn't understand why the stu
dents were so excited. Regard
ing the student demonstration, I
agree with Mr. Putnam, vice
president of Newsweek, who said
in a recent interview in Tokyo,
"What you want to do is good
but I wonder if you are doing in
right way."
Personally, I feel that the Unit
ed States has not lost her pres
tige as a result of Mr. Eisenhow
er's visit to Japan because the
world at large recognized that
the trouble was caused by the
communist influence and that it
was a technical mistake of Jap
anese diplomacy. I feel respon
sible for describing what they
actually felt wrong in what way
communists inflenced my people
at that time.
First of all, Premier Kishi's
idea about the new security pact
was basically supported by the
people, but his attitude at Diet
was criticized from the viewpoint
of democratic government. Sec
ondly, the Premier's individual
unpopularity was skillfully used
by the leftist minority who used
it to convince students, cultural,
and women's groups that the
new security pact would bring
them back into war again. Third
ly, the progaganda was made
during the delicate period right
after the failure of the summit
conference. Finally, a student
who attended the riot was paid
500 yen ($1.50) at a time. How
many students appeared, how
many times and where did such
a big money come from? I re
gret again that the people who
were at the demonstration were
not always communists, some
were not even socialists.
For Future Relationship: I be
lieve that the communist line of
thought is equally dangerous to
Japan as it is to the United
Sttaes. I believe that the friend
ship with Western powers, par
ticularly with the United States,
is as significant to Japan as it
is to the United States for our
mutual advantages. At the end
of this article, I would like to
have more qualified cultural and
educational exchange programs
so that we can get more people
.together and can have much
more to gain by mutual friend
ship than we used to have. A
stronger relationship between
Tokyo and Washington, as well
as between London and Wash
ington would be, I believe, a
.significant contribution to the
peace and security of the world
community.
Parlance Is Fin
ally
Her
e
With a brief fanfare, and much
delay, the much-heralded first is
sue of Parlance makes its ap
pearance on campus Thursday.
First conceived last Spring by a
"YMCA Executive Braintrust,"
Parlance seeks an introspective
look at campus life, using the
media of satire, humor, and ar
gument. The Editors of Parlance
have labored long and diligent
hours for the cause, and are much
satisfied with the results.
The sponsors of the new ven
ture in campus publications felt
that the University was badly in
need of a critical, responsible
organ of student opinion. The
magazine is to fulfill this need.
Articles were welcomed from all
sectors of the campus: from pro
fessors, from administrators, from
students, and from the clergy.
As a result, Parlance is repre
sentative of the spectrum of so
ciety in Chapel Hill. Most impor
tant: Parlance is the campus: it
looks at student problems on a
student level. It peers curiously
at vogues and fads, digs deeper
into the meaning of things, yet
laughs merrily at the universally
humorous. The Editors planned
something for everyone.
It cannot be denied that the
Editors were faced with a ma t
difficult problem at the out?ot.
Magazines at Carolina have had
traditionally tough sledding; par
ticularly if they did not deal in
sex or questionable humcr. Par
lance sought a higher plane .
that of the responsibly humorous.
There is the danger that if the
magazine does not sell, it will
settle into ignomous obscurity.
And yet, with all of the inherent
dangers, the Editors believe and
very strongly that the quality
of articles will appeal to the
student. They believe that the
Carolina student is interested in
the concerns of the campus. They
believe that the student will wil
lingly spend twenty-five cents
the price of Parlance to pur
chase a magazine that deals with
the campus as he sees it.
The debut of Parlance is most
significant. This first issue could
mean the establishment of a tra
ditional publication ranking with
Harvard's Lampoon, and other
leading collegiate magazines.
Much work lies ahead, for Par
lance is still in the process of
building and maturation. For
now, the most important factor
is the individual, and his accept
ance and participation in Parlance.
American College Campus:
Communisms Best Bet?
Youths eagerly grasp the first
exciting ideas afforded by a col
lege education. Because young
minds are swelled by idealism
and rebellion, it is no accident
that many riots and uprisings
around the world are associated
with students. This active liber
alism has been most obvious in
the infancy of the 1960's.
FBI Chief J. Edgar Hoover
warns in his 1960 report that the
American Communists are pre
paring a new assault on the cam
pus, where youthful idealism
abounds. Because actual Com
munists are few on American
campuses, the Kremlin wants to
do something about it.
The Reds know that Com
munism finds fertile ground on
the campus, where the student,
glorying in his new-found free
dom of independent thought, be
gins to question the values of his
elders and those responsible for
a demonstrably imperfect world.
Many starry-eyed college stu
dents may see the social and hu
manitarian trappings of Com
munism to be far nobler than the
underlying element of indi
vidualism which supports our
democratic institution. It is upon
this "starry-eyed-ness" that the
Communists hope to begin new
gains in the U.S.A.
The direction of the new Com
munist youth movement was
supposed to be plotted by the
American Communists at a meet
ing in Chicago on New Year's
Eve. In the new campaign the
slogans will be different, but di
rection will be the same to
ward the policy of international
Communism.
A new publication for Ameri
can campuses will be entitled
New Horizons for Youth. Keyed
to "liberal" thought, the maga
zine will not be outspokenly
Communistic, but it will have a
Red taste. It will touch on such
controversies as humanity ver
sus oppression, civil rights ver
sus racial prejudice, etc.
Calculated to excite our col
legiate pulse, the fruits of the
movement will be the practical
goals of Communism Nc;jvo
agitation, recognition of lied
China, smiles to Cuba, with
drawal from West Berlin.
Although the slogans will be
the same as they have been in
the past those students sucked
in will become aware that their
idealistic flight through t h e
clouds of Marxist theory will
crash to our imperfect earth when
put into practice.
Those swallowing the slogans
will realize that the 19G1 style
of American Communism is
really quite old all action in the
name of the people and nothing
in their interest.
Besides the rediscovery by
American college youth that Kail
Marx's light is smeared by blood
and tyranny, another light of
democratic individualism may be
dusted off and shine more bright
ly and assuredly.

Chapel Hill A fter Dark
With Davis B. Young
One of the most fascinating
ways to spend a few minutes is
listening to the comments of
movie-goers as they leave a
theatre, in this case the local
Varsity Theatre.
The flick was Hiroshima, Mon
Amour. The comments went
something like this:
"Boy I liked that flick. I mean
wasn't that some movie? We
ought to do that more often, don't
you think dear?"
"I'll have to get somebody real
smart to explain it to me. When
I get back to the house, Jane is
going to ask me all about it, and
I'm not going to know what to
say. I liked it, but I didn't under
stand it. Oh what am I going to
say?"
"Whadya always gotta stand
around and talk to everybody
for, huh? You'd think ya never
saw a movie before. Now either
you come with me right now, or
I'm going to leave you here to
talk to him all night."
"Didn't you think it was beau
tiful the way he kissed her? Have
you ever seen anything so tender
and passionate dear? I thought
I'd fall right out of my seat dur
ing that one scene. George, why
can't you make love like that?
Oh, George, do try."
"If you don't like the way I
make love Sally, you can pad:
your bags and get the hell out."
"Oh George, that's so beauti
ful. Why don't you say those
things more often?"
It was wonderful to see one
North Carolina Congressman with
enough vision and loyalty to the
Democratic Party to back Sam
Rayburn in the fight over tho
composition of the House Talks
Committee. Unfortunately, Rep.
Bonner of the First District was
the only member of the North
Carolina delegation who last
week showed a desire to live in
the Twentieth Century.

Smith of the Cavalier State found
