.North Carolina's Lament
About The Clotare Rule
The United States Senate that
august body whose traditions 'are
at one time both rich and cum
bersomethrew eff its yoke of
stodginess Monday and proceeded
to get something done.
For only the eighth time in its
history, the Senate voted to invoke
cloture, thereby shutting-up con
servative Southern senators who
were trying to filibuster to death a
new tivil rights bill.
It was a drastic move the
Senate took, but no more drastic
than the times demand.
The motion for cloture, which
passed Monday by precisely the
two-thirds vote it required, was
made for the fourth time after the
Senate was reminded of a presiden
tial commission's findings that
"white racism" was the cause of
riots.
The senators those voting for
cloture, anyway took the warning
to heart, and by their cutting short
the six-and-a-half-week-old debate,
1 put the Senate on the path of doing
something to eliminate some of
that white racism's effect upon
American society.
Their voting to do so showed
that the Senators are becoming tru
ly concerned about to make the
United States a place where men of
' every race can live as equals.
, Their voting to do so showed
that the Senators are corning to
realize that, if further racial strife
is to be averted, government action
must be taken to jell this notion of
equality into reality.
1 Their voting to" do so showed
that the Senators realize that this
nation can no longer maintain the
hypocrisy of calling men equal,
while relegating some of them by
race to substandard housing.
Their voting to do so showed
that the Senators have decided to
come to grips with the problems of
this nation as a whole, and to put
aside the petty and provincial
racial prejudices of their more con-
servative constituents.
Their voting to do so showed
that the Senators are brave,
forward-looking individuals truly

LB J's Political Hush
From The Raleigh Times
What sort of job is Gen.
William Westmoreland doing
in Vietnam?
An indication, despite
President Johnson's defense
of Westmoreland and his.
refusal to replace him, can be
found in the report that the
President had the Cheifs of
State sign a statement that
Khe Sanh can be held. This
surely indicates strongly a
lack of trust in
Westmoreland's leadership.
Then, , recently, Senator
Richard B. Russell, the
Pamela Hawkins, Associate Editor
Wayne Hurder, Managing Editor
Rebel Good, News Editor
Kermit Buckner, Advertising Manager
concerned about the problems of
20th Century America.- .
Their voting to do so showed
that the Senators truly deserve to
be at the helm of this nation,
leading it through this period of in
tense internal strife between the
races. -
It's just too bad that neither
Sam J. Ervin nor Everett B.
Jordan are among these men.
Honor
Should Have
No Gender
Honor is quite a neuter thing,
grammatically speaking.
Men's and Women's Honor
Councils, however, ain't.
Instead, they are each separate
ly endowed with their own sexual
.identity, a corresponding view of
the world, and an equally cor
responding interpretation of
Honor.
What results is a
rather non-
parallel construction of the Honor
Code. -
And plainly speaking,-this -just -
ain TigJiV " ?:V'?. '
That's why it " conies as such'
welcome news that a group of
students active in the student
judiciary headed by A 1 1 o r n e y
v General Randy Myer have come
up with a working plan to establish
a coed court which will hear all"
Honor Code jvioSLations.
Such a set-up was preferred by
an overwhelming majority of those
students voting in the Attitudinal
Survey on the Honor System last
month.
The plan to be presented soon
to both the Administration and the
Student Legislature sets up the
specifics of the coed v court : a
quorum of seven persons at least
three of whom must be of the
defendant's opposite sex would be
presided over by the chairman of
the defendant's sex. Other than
that, regular honor council pro
cedures would apply.
Hopefully both the ad
; ministrators , and the legislators
will enthusiastically accept the
proposal, and will do so . quickly
enough that it may be placed on a
referendum ballot during the
March 26 elections.
If so judging from the results
of the attitudinal survey the new
system should be swept in easily
by the voters, once and for all en
ding the existence of a double stan
dard where there should least be
one.
For Honor is quite a neuter
thing.
Geoergia Democrat whose
long service in Washington
has made him one of the most
respected leaders there,
criticized Westmoreland for
sticking to "outmoded World
War II tactics" in fighting the
Viet Cong.
Isn't it in order to wonder
about President Johnson's
whole handling of this war?
To wonder if America hasn't
now reached the bleak point
where it must take the steps
needed to begin talks with
North Vietnam?

Letters To The Editor
jLjjie
To The Editor:
I'm writing this letter in hopes of
bringing into view1 some important facts
that Mr. Mohamed Saleim overlooked in
his letter of Feb. 3. In his letter Mr.
Saleim pointed out that the U.N. has
never reported the Arab states guilty of
attacking Israel "with' their regular
military forces." Yet he failed to mention
the numerous Arab irregular forces el
Fatah and fidayun that have terrorized
v civilians by murdering, stealing, and
destroying non military equipment. These
forces have been armed and supported by
Israel's "peaceful" neighbors. Also,
deleted from Mr. Saleim's letter was the
information concerning the shellings of
Israeli border s villages by "peaceful"
Syrian guns stationed on the hills avove. "
I'm sure Israel thanks Mr. Saleim for
giving numerous quotations stating
"Israeli intentions and plans." I shall
now in turn oblige the Arab leaders by
quoting some of their intentions and
views: ' '
y "We will act to realize Arab solidarity
and "the closing of the ranks that will
eventually 1 put ati end- fa&eVr'K'Vfe
r. will liquidate her? (August 'iS17,
1961) President Nasser of Egypt).
"The Syrian army stands as a moun
tain to crush Israel and demolish her."
(August 19, 1963 The Syrian Defense
Minister, General Abdulla Ziada.) - ;
"The political leadership emphasizes
its commitment to the decision of the
Summit Conference regarding the plan of
collegive Arab action for the liberation of
Palestine. In accordance with that plan
the Arab national aim is the elimination
of Israel." (May 25, 1965 Joint Declrar
tion of President Nasser of Egypt and
President Aref of Iraq.) j
And Mr. Seliem calls these leaders
"peaceful." 1
Then, Mr. Seleim reiterates the Arab
leaders' answers concerning the solution
of the Arab refugee problem which is
based on Resolution 194 (111) December
11, 1948, Paragraph 11. However, in his
letter, only half of the paragraph is giv
en. He doesn't mention the other half
which includes the talks of resettlement:
of the Refugees in Arab lands. Resettle
has been out of the question in the Arab'
minds although Syria and Iraq are press
ed because of a shortage of manpower.'
Trustee Visiting Committee
And State's News Media
From the Chapel Hill Weekly
The report of the University Trustees';
Visiting Committee last week contained a
brief item, to the effect: !
"The members of the Visiting Com-j
mittee suggested that the administration!
consider. . . an effort improve what ap-i
pears to be unbalanced reporting by the'
news media of some campus events." i
This suggestion undoubtedly had
reference to last year's Chapel Hill visit
by Vice President Hubert Humphrey
when a handful of peace pickets received,
more attention from the news media than !
the Vice President did, The Chancellor
was somewhat chagTinecl, by that news
coverage and said so publicly. i
The Visiting Committee members!
didn't cite any campus events specifical-'
ly, but they obviously felt that the news !
'media are too often inclined to seek out 1
the spectatcular while neglecting many of -the
quiet, and truly significant strides the :
University is making. We can't argue
with that, because it is plain truth.
Newspapers, radio and television stations '
being the creatures they are, and whose !
existence depends largely on compelling I
attention, reach for the spectacular more
or less as conditioned reflex.
One question we. do raise, however is
just how the Visiting Committee would
suggest that the . U n i v e r s i t y ad- ;
ministration attempt to improve
reporting of campus events. Is the i
Visiting Committee suggesting that the '
University tell newspaper, radio and TV

The Arab refugees in Gaza were forbid
den to seek employment or emigrate info
areas where a shortage of laborers was a
problem. The Arab nations have tried to
exploit the Arab refugees politically while
making no effort caring for them.
Mr. Seleim speaks of a Palestinian
state that "might resemble something
lika Lebanon to the Christians.''.
However, I must remind our concerned
friend that his Arab leaders urge the
return of the refugees in order to '.'create
a large Arab majority that would serve
as . . . a powerful fifth column for the
day of revenge and reckoning." (April 6,
1950 Lebanese newspaper Al Sayyad).
New Cult On The
To The Editor:
Recently several articles in your
newspaper have drawn attention to the
interest shown by' local students in the
i; religious movement- of ascertain Indian.,
gentleman called Meher Baba. I wish to
point out that an oganization composed of
students and young faculty members was
recently formed in, order to study and
proselytize the spiritual teachings of
another great Holy Man.
Guru Suyajnas ("beautiful sacrifice")
was born with the name Radakrishnan
Halimysore Ananthanarayana Ra
jagopolachari Schwartz-Rafferty in a
small village on the southern edge of the
Himalayan Mountains in 1910 (some say
that his coming was presaged by the ap
pearance of a great comet in that fateful
year). Little is known about his early life
but police records first indicate his
presence in the United States in 1931.
Guru Suyajnas first became aware of his
spiritual calling after reading the com
plete works of G. A. Henty while in
retreat at Sing Sing, New York.
Following a prolonged period of
solitary isolation the Guru made a
' pilgrimage to Joliet, Illinois, where he
studied and mediated with a holy man of
great distinction while serving a five and
five for mail fraud. It was in Joliet that
Guru Suyajnas attained blissful self
knowledge and formulatd his now-famous
reporters how to do their jobs? Is the
Committee suggesting, perhaps, that the
University attempt to manage the news,
suppress it, or maybe color it slightly?
We have an idea that -the Visiting
Committee didn't really have anything
concrete in mind and just tossed out an
idle suggestion as an expression of its
displeasure. For the sake of the Universi
ty, we hope the administration will in
terpret it that way and do nothing to im
plement the suggestion.
Without being defensive about it, we
would like to point out again that most of
North Carolina's newspapers and many
of its radio and television stations are
among the best and most valuable friends
the University has. At times they are
much better friends than the University's
Trustees. With oy a few notable ex
ceptions, we don't know tf anyone in the
news media who would" delibtrptely seek
out the sensational in a calculated effort
to discredit the University. It would be
risky to say as much for the Board of
Trustees.
Whether the Visiting.Committee
members have a towering contempt for
the news media is neither her nor there.
News coverage ot campus events will
continue much as before, despite all sorts
of Visiting Committee protestations. But
it would be tragic indeed if, through the
misguided urgings of its Trustees. Thev
University should set upon the press and
thereby alienate one of its greatest
allies.
V
The former leader of the Palestine
Liberation Organization, Ahmed
Shukairy, clearly stated his plans when
he said, "China supplies us with' weapons
so that they be used for the liberation.
The weapons of China which we have
received free of charge will be put into
action in order to destroy Tel Aviv. (May
28, 1967). It seems as though statements
by Mr. Seleim and his Arab leaders don't
coincide.
. Finally, Mr. Seleim defends Nasser's
action of withdrawing U.N. forces before
the June War as having no other choice
after being told that Israeli forces were
massing along the Syrian border prepar-
plan of salvation' 'transmogrification
through demonetarization," whereby the
Guru's followers attain a . state of perfect,
bliss' by divesting themselves of their
money.. Sincematerial possessions arrest
the life-striving towards Nirvana (that's
like heaven for those readers who are
. dumb) the Guru instructs his disciples to
send their money and fenceable
possessions to him, since he is above
being tarnished by the hateful baubles of
unenlightened society.
In July, 1956, at Lake Tahoe, Guru
Suyajnas began a period of silence and
total seclusion, during which time he
communicated with his disciples and
stock broker by means of a celestial ouija
board. The Guru sowre that he would not
speak until his disciples purified
themselves by becoming completely
divested of their soul-disfiguring pos
sessions. The Guru promised that, as
soon as his conditions were met, he would
write down the one perfect word, which
would contain all the wisdom of the world
and which would transfigure and
enlighten all who pronounced it.
On January 1, 1968, Guru Suyajnas
wrote down on his celestial ouija board
the promised word. It is written thus:
Vsdtbrgnlnillhdnbbrhma"
Unfortunately no one has yet figured
out how this word is to be pronounced.
One of the Guru's closest disciples has
taken the word to the linguisitcs depart
ment at the assachusetts Institute of -Technology,
where, it is hoped, the pro
per pronunciation will be learned in a
seance to be held there next week.
As pointed out above an informal
organization has been formed on campus

-"Not- 'Hacks'
To the Editor:
In reference' to your mud-slinging
editorial of February 29 on political
skullduggery, we as a "motley ere- 0f
1 hacks," would like to contest a few of
your statements. We feel as supporters of
George Krichbaum, that we are as ge
nuine as any party member who voted
for Jed Dietz. The only reason Mr. Dieu
won the Student Party nomination was
. m 1 A. m . a
not tnrougn me voie oi tne so-called
"true" party members but rather the
fact that his people had rounded up more
"hacks" than Mr. Krichbaum's people.
To refresh your memory, Mr. Amlong.
The Daily Tar Heel reported in the past
two weeks that if a vote had been taken
among the "active" Student. Party
members Mr. Krichbaum would have had
the most, support. Four weeks ago there
were approximately forty' "real"
members of the Student Party. Are we to
suppose that the 373 people who voted for
" Mr. Dietz became "real" party members
in three 'weeks because ,they voted for
him, and that the 321 people who voted
for Mr. Krichbaum became party
"hacks" in three weeks because they
voted for him. We think this is grossly in
accurate. We Vent to the convention not
as a group of "Mickey Mouse
Machiavellians" ' to "Dump Dietz," but
rather as a "coalition" to elect George
Krichbaum.
