Climax Of Budget Deliberations:
Hopes For A Better Tomorrow
The Joint Appropriations Com
mittee of the General Assembly
meets tomorrow af terhooh to re
view the June 1961-June 1963 budg
et of the Consolidated University
of North Carolina.
The work and worry 6f two
years will be evaluated in one
afternoon's consideration. All of
the words and figures and reports
and tables and speeches Will be
forgotten in another few hours;
the climax of the agony of delib
eration will, , at least in part, be
reached in Raleigh tomorrow.
There is still time, however, to
remind ourselves and the members
oi. the committee of some of the
goals the University hopes to
achieve and to urge strongly their
advancement.
The University exists to encom
pass within its confines the process
of higher education. To that end,
men have come to teach and boys
and girls have come to learn. None
of these can be forgotten as the
University does its work.
The teachers must be well paid,
or the University will suffer by
their departure. Certainly they
have not been, these past few
years, martyrs at the feet of
higher education nor do we wish
to make such martyrs of them. We
do wish, however, to see that they
are properly rewarded for their
efforts. With such thoughts iri
mind, we strongly urge the ap
proval of the extensive program
for higher faculty salaries being
offered by the University.
The students must grow, not
only intellectually but as men and
women ready to take their places
in a challenging world. They must
be given the opportunity and the
facilities to learn some of the vital
lessons that cannot be taught in
the classroom. Among' these are
government student government
fills that need and responsibility
almost every extracurricular fills
that need and they must have the
opportunity to learri to conduct
themselves in the society Of other
men and women the entire com
pass of a good student union em
braces this heed.
Because they recognize these
rieeds, the administrators of the
Consolidated University have ask
ed for a new student union for this
University; because they also
recognize the lack of adequate
undergraduate library facilities on
this campus, they have included
such facilities in the union. Again,
we strongly urge the adoptoin of
this proposal.
Much of the fate of this Univer
sity will be decided in a crowded
committee room in Raleigh tomor
row afternoon. Because this Uni
versity is so important to the state
and to its students, we urge com
plete adoption of the Consolidated
University budget.
Advertising And Editorials
The following letter, which Wd
received yesterday, is similar in
content to others that have come
to us recently:
'The Daily Tar Heel is hereby

advises stvdent support of the
pickets: i.e., "Don't go td the
movies downtown, but just
look at what is playing!".
Admittedly, the mohe) from
movie advertisements does
talk. But to what extent does
your allotted budget necessi
tate these ads? Couldn't your
advertising manager seek out
the support of unprejudiced
businessmen? Would the editor
explain or hereafter ban movie
ads from The Daily Tar Heel
Until the theatres integrate?

editorial department of a news
rJarier does not and cannot reserve
for itself the right to interfere with
the business department of the
newspaper.
The reasons for this are quite
simple. In the first place, editorial
Comment is the subjective observa
tion of one or hiore people and is
restricted bf Journalistic practice
to the editorial page. In a good
newspaper1 it does not interfere
with the rieWS department or the
advertising department. To do so
would be to endanger their inde
pendence as separately functioning
parts of d business.
In the second place, this would
open the avenue for business in
terference with editorial opinion,
a consequence equally dangerous
as the first." If The Daily Tar Heel
editorial office were to order the
advertising department not to print
advertising from organizations it
is editorializing against, by the
same token the advertising depart
ment would be perfectly justified
in ordering the editorial depart
ment not to comment unfavorably
about prominent advertisers for
fear of losing income.
Apart from these considerations,
such action would be as discrimina
tory as the theatre policy to which
we object. We do not have the
right to deny any business the
right to advertise in this news
paper which is as much a public
convenience as the theatres them
selves unless the advertising is
beyond the limits of good taste or
is considered fraudulent.
To answer the other two Ques
tions: yes, the theatre advertising
is a vital part of The t)aily Tar
HitVi advertising budget, fto, the
Mvettisihg manager cannot waste
his time finding out whether or
hot businessmen are prejudiced. It
Would be eqUally valid td require
that advertisers morals meet an
arbitrary standard.

Mr. Kennedy, Now Is The Time For Action
President John F. . Kennedy
said many times during his re
cent campaign that now is the
time for action. In our diplomatic
relationships with foreign na
tions, the policy adopted has
usually been so slow that an ap
propriate -title- for it -would- be
"now or never." ;
Kennedys-comesr, into power at
one of the most crucial periods,
not only of the United States, but
of man. The atom bomb has made
this time this time of cold war,
fear, negotiation, bickering, noth
ing. Capability of producing this
daughter of destruction is begin
ning to multiply like a cancer
cell that reproduces itself and if
allowed to spread unchecked, can
painfully destroy with death.
First the United States, then
Russia, Britain, France gained
this offspring of Einstein. Who
will be next? Cuba? Israel? Red
China? Maybe Red China will
gain it soon with the help of its
cousins, USSR. There is, accord
ing to all political scientists, a
great possibility the Chinese will
have this bomb within five years.
Then, God only knows what will
happen.
John F. Kennedy would help
the so-called proponents of world
peace and democracy (whatever
that means) discover the answer
if he acted through proper chan
nels to seek the acceptance of
Red China in the United Nations.
We know nothing about this
world power now, with her being
outside the organization.
Actually, with Red China out
side the U.N., it is doing the Unit
ed States more harm than if it
were inside, even with the power
of veto. This is because Russia
is using the present issue with
great success as a propoganda
weapon. And, also, what always
comes up when Russia and the
United States discuss the disar
mament problem? The admittance
of Red China to the U.N.
Our nation, diplomatically, at
least, has clung to the Nation
alist Chinese leader Chiang Kai
shek since the early 1930's and
seen this . popular man driven
completely out of his country by
its people. Adamantly we follow
the same lines. But, what is going
to happen when Chiang dies?
Officials in Washington, look
ing through a maze of red tape,
insist the United States would
lose prestige if we acceded to al
low the Reds into the U.N. At the
Jim Clotfelter
rate we are going now, just how
much of this wonderful thing
called prestige do we have left,
anyway? Let's stop kidding our
selves with this surreptitious de
mocracy act. The world is chang
ing. We cannot lag behind and
live. . ,
, Yes, Mr. Kennedy, now is the -
time for action. Let's stop living
in a dream world. Let's be real
istic. Let's act. Let's see Red.

Mr. itohald Byrnes, ih a lette
to the editor Of the Dtiiitf fat
Heel, February 21 hi a dd-of-die
attempt td refute valid arguments
for segregation, wai forced to re
treat to attribute to u implica
tions that were never triads and
by grossly distorting the" mean
ings of the statements we did
make.
We cannot arid will not allow
these distortions to pass unno
ticed when they are obviously
intended to discredit us, the other
fine segregationists on this cam
pus, and those non-University
persons who likewise prefer se
gregation. We, Mr. Byrnes, did hot state
or even allude that we are Quali
fied to decide for anybody how he
should ruii his own" business, iri
your zeal and haste to Heap cri
ticism Upioh us, you either ig
nored buri text or distorted it
beyond recognition to suit your
own taste. Allow us, then, to
quote certain passages whose
meaning obviously escaped your
searching scrutinization. First,
"We believe that any property
owner has the right to decide who
shall be admitted on that prop
erty, and for what reason." No
tice, Mr. Byrnes, we said that the
property . owner has the right to
govern his property and its tres
pass policies; the only reference
to ourselves here was that we
support such rights, and will con
tinue to do sd.
"The right to freedom of asso
ciation is basic to all freedoms.
We personally feel that it is our
right td choose bdr bwii asso
ciates." Mr. Byrnes, do you deny
us the right to associate with
anybody if we so choose? For in
stance, how would yoii feel if we
and all our conservative allies
decided to swoop into your home
or your place of business? Would
you have any right to refuse Us
entrance? Of course yoU would,
just as we could rightly refuse
entrance to you or anybody else
for any reason. We -would hot
take up signs calling you bigoted
and unfair should yoii decide not
to admit its. - - ...
Mr. Byrnes, yoU seerii to have
gotten at least one thing straight
(which is both surprising and
'The Southerner Must Listen To Criticism
Cries of "Stay out of our busi
ness, Yankee" usually follow any
editorial opinion which appears
to disparage Southern institutions
and traditions. ;
The Southerner appears to be
extremely sensitive to outside
criticism, particularly that which
comes from Northern students
attending Carolina.
The Southerner can't bear to
be told that he is wrong or that
he may be wrong. This is under
standable but not entirely ex
cusable ...
Because he can mo longer re
fuse to listen td the Northerner,
no matter how painful it may be.
The South has reached the point
where its people must listen.
Before the grits arid sunshine
boys begin throwing epithets . t
let me make this clear.
This is not an angry letter
from an angry Yankee. Instead
this is an appeal from a South
erner, "born and bred," who re
fuses to accept all Southern in
stitutions merely because they
are old and venerated and South
ern. This is an appeal to the South
erner, from a Southerner, to
swallow his pride and take an
other look at his Southern cus
toms and ideals.
He cannot Continue to cry
"scalawag" at those Southerners
and "carpetbagger" at those
Northerners who speak out
against what he holds dear.
He must open his eyes and
look around him. He must for
get Nathan Bedford Forest and
Jefferson Davis.
But what about the North
erner? ;
By the.ruies 6f courtesy, the
person who in attending Caro
lina is first seeing the South,
should keep his peace and let
others speak out on Southern cus
toms. . -
He certainly has the right to
voice his opinions, but should not
do so until he has come better
to know the Southern institutions
which he is attacking.
The fact that some Northerner
break these rules of coUrtesy is
no excuse for the Southerner to
completely disregard their words.
He should read the columns
written by these angry Yankees
and try to pick from the stories
any truths such as they are, which
may be present.
The Southerner cannot excuse
his own sloth and forced blind
ness by pointing to some North
erners' lack Of good taste. If the
occasion arises, the Southerner
must "ldwer" himself arid accept
advice from (shudder) North
erners. Positivelyi what can the South
erner dot
He can acknowledge the exist
ence of dissent within- his bwri
South. He carl take bart iri the
debate within the South . . . take
part with the purpUse bf bbjec
tively arialyzirig all segments of
opinion. .
He can look at the South for
himself, not through the eyes of
his parents or his friends or his
political leaders. Possibly he will
be able to tell what parts of the
"Southern way of life" are dead
or dying, and what parts con
tinue to be worthwhile and neces
sary. But this cannot be done as long
as he continues to reject all dis
senting opinion as "Yankee
propaganda."
Commendable) that being that
we prefer segregation to your
pseudo-bious Utopia of integra
tion. However, in a desperate
emotional attempt to win the;
reading public to yoUi cause, you
resorted to the accusation that it
is hatred for the Negro that
makes Us advocate segregation.
This is the common charge of the
"anti-bigot" bigots like yourself.
Being so occupied in your "anti
bigot" crUsade, you yourself are
uncompromisingly bigoted to
ward those who wish to live by
patterns that are legal, practical,
sensible, and morally correct.
Nothing teaches that we must
integrate in order to love one
another; only the Warren Court
commanded that.
We ate asked if we are afraid
of all bur beliefs and ideals being
shattered if we should integrate.
Mr. Byrnes, we do not subscribe
to the contention of socialist
George Bernard Shaw that "The
only way to overcome tempta
tion is to succumb to it."
We repeat: We prefer racial
segregation and feel that we have
a perfect right to insist upon that
preference being honored within
its rightful realm. We do not
seek to make people love us; that
is solely their prerogative. For
those who dislike our society, we
suggest that they not remain
within it. We recommend a one
way trip to some point of inter
est where they can feel more
"equal" and "accepted"; this u
a wide, wide country and you
can find in it practically any so
ciety yoU want that includes,
and tightly sd, segregation and
integration.
And we repeat again, we snail
patronize the Chapel Hill thea
ters more willingly under their
present policy of segregation, and
we strongly urge others to do
likewise, giving their moral and
tangible support td this effort to
maintain racial segregation. We
also request that the thousands
of segregationists oil this campus
drop a postal card to these th
iex nianarers and fissure iheni
thaf yoU support ilieir courageous
fortitude iri the face of the or
ganized integrationists. These in
tegrationists have flooded tha
managers with their propaganda.
Our duty is to show them that ice
aren't dead either, as was asserted
by the misguided president of our
strident body. It Only takes a
three-cent postal card.
We urge the other Constitu
tionalists in the University to
Unite with Us iri this fight to
mairitairi bur identity and our
fights. Let us consolidate our ef
forts arid crush those who would
destroy Us, our rights, and our
cherished way of life. We can
win!

How Just Is 80 Pet Rule For Fraternities?
The 80 rule, is this justice?
In an editorial Jonathan Yard
ley complairied that fraternity
houses must have eighty per cent
of their members with a "C"
average to keep from going on
probatiori.
Mr. Yardley admits in his edi
torial that the fraternities are not
making any effort to meet their
academic responsibilities. He
also says that an academic crack
down is due. '
However, Mr. Yardley theri
says the University cannot af
ford td do this. It seems that the
University cannot afford to lose
a single house if it expects to
have a bed in town for every
student.
Yardley backs up his attack on
the faculty committee by saying
that its members do not have the
insight to realize that a teacher
should encourage, not condemn
his students.
Finally, the DTH editor said
the faculty is betraying itself in
holding to the spirit of a "C"
average. "The faculty committee
might do well to decide whether
a "C" is what is most impor
tant," he said.
I don't agree with Mr. Yard-,
ley. He contradicts himself, pre
sents a trumped-up argument
and fails to offer a solution, other
than kick the faculty commit
tee. .
X
I agree with the editor that the
80 rule is not fair, but only be
cause it places the whole house
on probation.
Why should the boys who make
their grades be forced to suffer
because some of their brothers
didn't put out enough effort?
Why hot put the guilty ones
on probation and prevent them
from participating in fraternity
activities until they reach "C"
level again?
This would allow the house to
carry on normal activities in
cluding rush. Also, this would
act as an incentive for f rat. mem
bers to make their grades.
We were proUd, proud, proUd
of the University student body
on Saturday afternoon.
For one thing, they cohdticted
themselves as ladies and gentle
men throughout the course of
what had td be a' tense contest.
