Random TIiniHtn
Fifty years ago, the TarHttl carried a weekly
column, "Random Thrusts by Spearman." One
of the "thrusts" might still be appropriate:
"The Chapel Hill Board of Aldermen adopted
an ordinance forbidding students to stand out in
the street when bumming rides. They probably
figured if they couldn't put a curb on students'
recklessness, they could at least put the reckless
students on the curb."
This week the Tar Heel celebrates its 85th
birthday. If they managed to put all the candles
on one cake, the candles would take the cake.
Old editors never die. They just become
professors, requisition red pencils and fade
away.
Is Secretary Califano going to make Bill
Friday HEW his educational principles?
And is Califano 's crusade against smoking
going to make North Carolina tobacco farmers
the butts of his pokes? ;
How can the UNC students beat the parking
game? Even with new parking decks, all the
cars are stacked against them.
Former TarHeel Editor Charles Kuralt seems
to be sentenced to serve "On the Road" for life.
&
Both faculty and students are concerned
about the "rat clause" in the honor system.
Converting exams into wine and cheese parties
might bait the trap more effectively.
The UNC Medical School gave a rousing
retirement party for Drs. Bill Richardson and
Bill Fleming. Was there apple pie for dessert to
prove the old adage that an apple a day puts the
doctors away?
The art department will celebrate Joseph
Sloane's retirement with a big March party at
the Carolina Inn. If he is anointed with all the
praise and adulation he deserves, it would make
a good "Sloane's Liniment" for any aches of
departure.
Codgers who lament the good "old days in
Chapel Hill" might be reminded that the old
daze in Chapel Hill comes every semester '
with midterms.
No wonder the movie Looking for Mr. Goodbar
is such a success in Chapel Hill. Students spend
most of their evenings looking for good bars.
Housemothers on the campus got a boost
from Martha Neel Hardy's portrayal of Mrs.
Plum in Uncommon Women and Others. And Mrs.
Hardy's acting was the real plum of the evening
for the audience.
Just to show how the writing of paragraphs
has improved over the past 50 years, here are
some of the best student paragraphs in this
semester's editorial writing class in Journalism:
Keith Hollar: "There's nothing like a good
snow to provide us with a good excuse for not
attending the classes we weren't going to
anyway."
Jim Protzman: "Coal strikes are like winters
they come too often, stay too long and
always leave a mess." . '
Marion Haithcox: "Mother always said, 'the
way to a man's heart is through his stomach.'
Obviously women have lowered their
standards."
Marc Isaacson: "Dr. John Connell in
Newark, N.J., is paying patients to try
different cold remedies for drug companies.
For once, the company, not the consumer, is
paying through the nose."
David Watters: "It is rumored that one
fraternity is giving the Tri Delta Talent show a
skit featuring some semi-nude men dancing in
tutus. We can only warn the Tri Delts to

Walter Spearman wa&a writer and editor for the Tar Heel in the late 20s. It was during
Spearman's reign that the paper became the first college daily in the Southeast.
Today he is still at the University as a journalism professor who will retire at the
end of this semester. Photo by Sara Bullard.

Paul Brown: "The recent mixup of pictures
"in the Tar Heel is unfortunate. We're happy,
though, that the Tar Daily Heel doesn't allow
mixups regularly."
Elliott Potter: "Some folks complained this
year about the shortage of roses on Valentine's
Day. You can bet there won't be any
complaints on the first day of April about a
shortage of fools."
Bert Woodard: "First Mate Hamilton
Jordan's spitting antics may have Captain
Carter bailing out his ship before it reaches the
Panama Canal.

Marc Isaacson: "Some Morrison residents
accused the Chi Psi fraternity of 'tyrannizing'
campus politics. To show just how insignificant
UNC politics are to them, the brothers have
decided to exercise their statewide influence
and reroute the 1-40 extension through the
Morrison snack bar."
And now one more Random Thrust:

Farber ran aground in his race for mayor of
New York, but former Editor McNeill Smith,
in his race for the U.S. Senate, plans to win by
placing both hands against the Helms.
