After reading Mr, Laverne Mclnnis's letter to the editor
in Tuesday's LAURINBXJRG EXCHANGE I thought it would
be a good idea If the students knew exactly what the “Gag
Law” is. House Bill 1395 was prepared in part by Secretary
of State Thad Eure and when enacted into law, stated as con-
stltutional by North Carolina’s attorney general Wade Bruton.
The bill reads as passed:
section 1. No college or uni-
versity which receives any state
funds in support thereof shall per.
mit any person to use the facili.
ties of such college or university
for speaking purposes, who
(A) Is a known member of the
Communist Party.
(B) Is known to advocate the
overthrow of the constitution of
the United States or the State
of North Carolina.
(C) Has pleaded the fifth amend
ment of the Constitution of the
United States in refusing to an-
swer any question with respect
to Communist or subversive con-
nection, or activities, before any
duly constituted legislative com
mittee, and judicial tribunal or
any executive or administrative
board of the United States or any
state.
SECTION 2. This act shall be
enforced by the Board of Trustees
or other governing authority of
such coUege or university or by
such administrative personal as
may be appointed therefore by
the Board of Trustees or other
governing authority of such col-
lege or university.
SECTION 3. All laws and clauses
of laws in conflict with this act
are hereby repealed.
SECTION 4. This act shall be
come effective upon its ratifi
cation.
For those who have stood up
in indignation against the bill,
the first question is why? The
bill does not place any undue
restruction on academic free
dom as stated by the St. Andrews
Chapter of the AaUP. What the
bill does do is make sure we
do not spend tax money to give
communists and communist-sym-
pathizers a form in our colleges
and universities. This law does
not abolish freedom of the speech.
We are spending enoi^h money
now for the federal government
to stop Communism. Why spend
It here in North Carolina to sup
port their speakers?
By no means should wfe cut
ourselves off from the knowledge
of Communist idology and its
practices; but instead of paying
for Communist speakers we
should be putting some money
into developing academic courses
on the subject and hiring qualified
professors to teach them.
Students Play
Marketing Game
By BOB PERRY
Business majors in Professor
Gentry Wade's marketing class
are getting first-hand experience
in operating a large company.
Each year, Mr. Wade devotes a
considerable portion of this
course to the “Marketing Game”
• a simulation of two large in
dustries in operation, which the
students themselves direct. In
each industry, there are three
companies, whose business is to
manufacture a detergent, and sell
it to wholesale detergent distri
butors at the greatest profit pos-
sible.
The game will be completed just
The game will be completed
just before Christmas holidays
and covers an imaginary time
span of three fiscal years. There
is intense competition among the
three companies in each industry
since the company displaying the
largest net profit at the finish
will be declared the winner in its
industry.
At the onset of the competition,
the game gives the students a
large number of combinations,
from which each company must
select its own type of product,
its price, advertising and the
quantity of detergent to produce.
The sum of these variables
enables Mr. Wade, as referee,
to determine the sales of the en
tire industry and the per centre
of the market each company has
been able to capture. This in
formation is readjusted by the
companies at the beginning of
each fiscal month in an effort
to step up, or hold Its own posi
tion in the industry market.
Information is available to each
company concerning the mar
keting activities of the other com
panies, as well as various market
Indicators predicting future
fluctuations in the detergent in
dustry. However, this infor
mation incures a considerable
expense, and the company must
decide if the benefit gained from
this will outweigh the cost.
A great deal of skill is en-
volved in the analyzing of past
sales records and calculating the
combinations which will yield the
best results In the future.

Foreign Languagefiection
Languages Now De Rigueur
By Dr. Jose Bohlgas
1. The Berlitz School of Languages in New York reports that
at least eight well-known corporations are paying for language
instruction for both wives and husbands who are slated for foreign
posts. (Don’t underestimate the power—and the Importance—of
a woman.)
2. More than 100,000 persons
a year are receiving language
training under military auspices.
Under a recent Department of De
fense directive, the Army will
assume responsibility for con
ducting a major portion of the
foreign language training now
Underway In the various services.
3. About 400 officers at Colum
bus (Miss.) Air Base were re
cently tested on their mastery.
If any, of a foreign language as
the initial step designed to teach
all officers a foreign language.
Qualification by officers In at
least one foreign language Is now
regarded as necessary.
4. Beginning next July no can
didate for the Foreign Service
will be accepted unless he can
both read and speak fluently at
least one FL. In 1958, only half
of the Foreign Service officers
could speak any FL. Today near
ly 90 per cent have at least a
working knowledge of one and 64
per cent have professional pro
ficiency in one or more of the
56 languages being taught to of
ficers in Washington and over
seas. Courses for their wives are
“already full to overflowing.”

JOURNAL: Walter In a high-
class restaurant to a gentlemen
diner who has apparently been
trying to impress his feminine
companion; “Your French Is ex
cellent, monsieur; we just don’t
happen to have roast chicken
stuffed with chocolate sauce.”
Evidence that things can go
wrong even for audio-lingual
learners anywhere In the world
is provided by this real-life
drama, reported by Peggy Bru-
ten, a Peace Corps Volunteer
teaching English in Thailand.

A little Polish girl recently en
rolled in a Dade County (Florida)
school and was placed in a “spe
cial” English class with Cuban
refugee youngsters. The child’s
English is prc^ressing slowly,
but now she jumps rope and
counts, “uno, dos, tres, cuatro.”
A businessman wanted to tell
a Spanish-American client that a
bank draft would follow shortly
and asked his secretary to phrase
a letter in Spanish, She obliged.
Being a bright girl, she knew
that a bank draft is a draft from
the bank and that, if “bank” is
MARGEN and “draft” is
CORRIENTE DE AIRE, a “bank
draft” will be UNA CORRIENTE
DE AIRE DE LA MARGEN, Why
bother to learn languages when
you know how to use a dictionary?
