Nixon To Show True Self
In Desegregation Policy
I he first big test of what the
new Administration means by
endorsing "law and order" will
come up shortly when the new
Secretary of Health Education and
Welfare explains what his
desegregation policy will be.
If the Administration is really
for "law and order," as they
proclaimed so loudly during the
campaign, they will continue to
twist the arms of recalcitrant
Southern and Northern school
districts that refuse to come up
with an equitable system of
desegregating schools.
If, however, the new
Administration used the tenn "law
and order" as merely a code name
for "keeping the niggers down"
Americans can expect to see a lax
desegregation policy in which the
federal government will refuse to
withhold funds from school district
that don't comply with their
guidelines.
Should they take the latter step,
it could mean another four years of
turmoil and distrust in America
that would equal or exceed that of

REAGAN'S ECONOMY
The basic problem at San
Francisco State College is that Gov.
Reagan's "economy" has so
stripped it of funds that it can with
difficulty do the job of education it
was set up to do. One department,
for instance, ran out of

Infirmary
Helps Avert
Epidemic Here
So far UNC has made it
through the flu epidemic
without the disruption that it
has caused in many places
across tne country wliere
schools have been shut down
and college students sent
home.
Credit for much of this has
to go to UNC's Infirmary and
director Dr. E. M. Hedgepeth.
UNC has been able to get
4,300 doses of flu vaccine, far
more than most schools. For
instance, Duke only had about
400 for its students, and the
University of Illinois about
2,000 for its 30,000 students.
The Infirmary has gone out
of its way to distribute this
vaccine to students. Early in
December when the vaccine
was to be distributed for the
first time at 9 a.m., by 8 a.m.
there was already a long line
formed. Rather than having
students wait until 9 they
began giving shots right away.
In addition to these things,
the infirmary has taken a great
deal of time to make
arrangements with residence
halls, fraternities, and
sororities for treating flu
patients in their rooms, in the
event the infirmary became
too crowded.
The infirmary's quick and
relentless actions in trying to
prevent an flu epidemic on
ompus deserves the thanks
and appreciation of the
University community.

the last three years of the Johnson
Administration.
Nixon has talked big so far of
the need to unite Americans as
being the first goal of his
Administration. If he should loosen
up the desegregation policy unity
will be the last thing that he will be
able to accomplish.
First result of such a move
would be to destroy all faith in him
as being someone who is really for
law and order and justice for
everyone. It would become very
obvious that all he was after in
espousing the need for law and
order is a means of destroying the
Black Revolution.
Second residt would be to
guarantee blacks of many more
years of inferior education which
would keep them mired down in
our society.
Relaxation of these guidelines
would be one of the stupidest,
blindest moves that the new
President could take. We hope that
he has more insight than to commit
such a grave error.
before the end of last semester and
there was no replacement to be had
until the next budget. Damaged
equipment, as well as exhausted
supplies, cannot be replaced until
the next miserly budget comes
a lorn
Under such bare-bones
financing, the college has no money
to react to the emergencies, to
answer the new situations which
protest has forced upon it and
which demand an answer. The
answer were the governor to allow
the money for it-would be better
education, better orientation
toward minority-majority
relationships, specifically better
education in the field of minority
studies. We note that Laney College
can set up a black studies program,
but San Francisco State is still
trying.
Neither the governor nor that
fantastic right winger Maxwell
Rafferty (the only man in public
life who can successfully combine a
smile and a sneer) notes this
grievous financial lack in
pronouncements about San
Francisco State. They talk only of
force, ignoring the causes of the
problem.
But the two San Francisco State
presidents who have reisgned this
year have called attention
forcefully to the financial shackles
in which Reagan "economy" lias
placed them. Pres. Robert Smith
noted "desperate limitations in
financial resources" against
previous college commitments,
"rigid controls on the available
resources" and "inability to obtain
relief from financial crisis" as
reasons for his resignation.
This is not to condone the
tactics of the demonstrators, but
the point is that "economy" has so
hamstrung the college that it
cannot react adequately to the
crisis.
Reagan would use force alone,
spending on it money he will not
make available for better education.
That will enhance his image with
the hardline voters.
But it will not cure the
underlying cause of San Francisco
State's problem.

"Fine, Sol. Best sales ever. How about

"Yeah, we did all right, too. Say, you
really got the jump on everybody this
year with that early Christmas sale. I was
waiting 'til Halloween got over before
bringing out my Christmas stuff."
"We just decided we'd catch those
early shoppers. We knew we were going
to mark up our prices in November, so we
dragged out all of last year's left-overs
and put up a few signs."
"Had your window displays catching
both angles didn't you?"
"The Santa and the manger scene? The
women from the church wanted to put
up the manger. I couldn't very easily say
no. We decided it couldn't hurt. You
know, lots of people liked it the old
folks mostly. It might have even brought
in a little business. Maybe you ought to
try one next year."
"You kidding? My rabbi is still
complaining about the silver Hanukkah
bushes I had in my window. Now you say

"Saint Nick really pulled them in
though. Did you see that line of kids we
had all of December? We ran an ad in the

Letters To The Editor
UNC 's
To The Editor:
This letter is directed your way
because the proposal we make is only of
value if it meets with popular approval,
and I consider the DTH a barometer of
campus opinion and feeling.
Margaret, my young daughter, and I
propose that because of past confusion
and possible future confusion due to the
name and initials of our sister institution
in Raleigh, the first portion of "Hark the
Sound" should be changed as follows:
Hark the sound of Tar Heel voices
Ringing clear and free,
Singing Carolina's praises,
Shouting U.N.C.
I'll let you take it from there.
Sincerely,

often the vocalists are elevated on clouds
of silvery praise while the group
responsible for those impressive
renditions quietly packs up the music
stands and suffers in silence. For once,
credit should go to that patience endured
by the orchestra and its director. It is
easy to overlook the obvious, but it was
no easy matter to supply effective music
for that dramatic presentation. Special
recognition should be given Miss Durham
and the violinist for their performance of
"Danse Macabre" in the witches' scene.
The soloists were fine, but their songs
would have flopped without that

We hear so many complaints about the
food on the campus. Well, I am surprised
that we can get any food on the campus!!
Here's an example of what I
mean one Saturday before Christmas at
Lenoir lunch hour there was only one line
open, ordinarily the students go home on
weekends. But this Saturday the Unes
formed back thru the lobby to the exit
door. (Planetarium visitors).
I went back to the kitchen to ask the
supervisor if they couldn't open another
line? His answer, "W?e don't have enough
help to open one line!" Only the
old-timers, none of the new colored
employers reported for work. They stay

there is no
hum-.
Death of the venerable tavern
reportedly occurred at 12 midnight
on Monday. It went virtually
unnoticed by the world's
press-only a few were there to see
it.
Those on hand at the time of
death spoke very little about it.
There was, in fact, a very festive air
as the last few draughts were
slogged down. Potato chip bags
were going for free. Popcorn, too.
The few persons interviewed said
the Carpet was the victim of a rising
rent. They noted that customers
had dwindled in the last few
months. They recalled times past
when seats were simply unavailable.
The Carpet was a modern day
innovation in an area with a large
variety of eating places. At its
founding no local establishment
offered food, beer and dancing.
Reportedly dancing has now moved
entirely to Carrboro, a striking
event comparable to fine art going
to Durham
Suggestions for a reopening of
the Carpet were quick to come
from many sources. Most
considered it to be a fine
investment, especially with spring
approaching. Spring is looked upon
in the East as an cxhuberant period
and most persons felt that the

Though it is impossible to give credit
to all performers in a production the size
of the one presented, I would also laud
the choreographer, for without her
efforts the Munchkins would have been
far from "delightful." I sincerely hope
that future reviews will find space for
praise of those hard-working individuals
who play such an integral part in the
success of a production.

they walk out Bravo! Let them walk out
It is a good way to get rid of them, for
they will not be allowed to come back.
Self-service counters and Snack Bars are
being installed so fewer workers are
needed as there will be no replacement of
those, who are fired. Therefore, those
workers who walk out only hurt
themselves since there will be more
unemployment and fewer jobs.
Communication between the
employees and the manager can be very
helpful in solving problems that
inevitably exist, but there has to be give
and take on both sides.
I wouldn't be food manager for

former sardine-can capacity of the
tavern would return with the robins

The IFC a loose grouping of
local fraternities - could
coneeiveably take the place over.
This suggestion was followed
promptly by a number of sweeping
proposals including pledges to pull
the beer and a sorority
Sister-Of-The-Month who would
command a squad of carefully
selected girls to spruce up the joint
and serve the brew.
This suggestion met an early
demise. however. when
representatives from a powerful
secret syndicate (not Danzigers)
noted the IFC is presently in debt.
Credit, it was seen, would not be
extended easily to the financially
flagging fraternity group.
Other suggestions poured out.
Letting the University Food Service
run it was brought up, but two
main objections arose. They would
put too much mayonnaise in the
sandwiches, and it would be illegal.
In the meantime, comments
from other area tavern owners
flowed in. Most noted their vast
sorrow at the death of the Carpet,
lamenting the loss of their departed
competitor. Coincidentally, most
launched an immediate advertising
campaign to attract customers.
One source suggested the burial
service for the Red Carpet be held
at the Tavern, or at the Grill, or at

The University Community offers a
service to the students here which is often
neglected in all orientation preparation
and materials. There are, on this campus,
a group of interested parties who serve
the students at all hours of the day and
sometimes into the night.
This group is dedicated to the mental
health and happiness of individuals on
campus. They provide companionship for
the lonely and lend an attentive ear to all.
It is indeed a pity that incoming students
are not told of this free service and the
ease with which it may be attained. No
fee is ever extracted, but many
individuals feel compelled to contribute
some small part to these counselors.
The service of which we speak is the
University of North Carolina branch of
"Rent-A-Dog, Inc." This service is owned
and operated solely by the four-legged
members of the corporation. From the
cold, blustery mornings of early winter
till the quiet, fragrant evenings of summer
these devoted creatures roam the campus
in search of students who need some
counsel or just someone to whom they
may relate their problems.
The open-minded canines on this
campus do not discriminate in their
choice of clientele. They will befriend
anyone, black, white, male, female,
Republican, Democrat, with no questions
regarding religious beliefs and no criticism
of dress or hygiene. WThere else on this
campus, or for that matter, in this world,
can one find such unbiased aid?
The service is not limited to freshmen,
though they would probably profit the
most from it, but is open to all, including
faculty. These kind creatures lend an ear
to distraught upperclassmen, especially
on the days of difficult quizzes. They
tolerate any language and seem to
understand them all, but have an unusual
adeptness when it comes to interpreting
profanity.
There are many words which come to
mind after a hard exam which are not
uttered in polite or mixed company, but
are quite welcome within the
"Rent-A-Dog" service. Nothing offers
quite as much release as a good verbal
fuselage aimed at a listening ear. As for
service to the faculty, we are sure that
you have often witnessed a lone professor
Bogs
braving his way across campus with brief
case in hand and a dog at his heels. These
dogs serve as special bodyguards and quiz
defenders before the administration of
the exams and listen willingly to the
torrent of abuses uttered by the professor
faced with the task of grading those
exams afterward.
Lastly, there is the service which this
corporation offers to the student in love.
Since, especially in 'the Spring, many
persons on this campus are afflicted with
this communicable malady, the dogs put
in extra hours listening to those words
which are just too private to share with
those of one's own species.
Yes, this dedicated group offers much
to the students here in Chapel Hill and
their maintenance is inexpensive.
