Thoughts
I suffer whenever I see that
common sight of a parent or
senior imposing his opinion
and way of thinking and being
on a young soul to which they
are totally unfit. Cannot we let
people be themselves, and
enjoy life in their own way?
You are trying to make that
man another you. One's
enough.
—Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is easier for a camel to go
through the eye of a needle,
than for a rich man to enter
into the kingdom of Goo.

AAUP CONFERENCE SUCCESSFUL
by Jon Hiratsuka
The American Association
of University Professors' state
convention was successful,
informative, and well attend
ed, program chairman Lloyd
Nick reported. The convention
was held at Guilford on Oct.
25-26.
"Financial Exigency" was
the theme of the convention.
Aid to private colleges, rights
of tenure, and other concerns
of academia were discussed.

the conference.
State Senator McNeill Smith
spoke on the history of
education in North Carolina
and the role of the legislature.
Homecoming Judging
Questioned
by Jeffrey D. Martin
Numerous complaints have
been made about the judging
of floats in the Homecoming
Parade. It seems that the
Union made "Fantasy" this
year's parade theme. Pcopel
making the complaints said
that while two of the floats had
to do with witches and
rainbows, the winning float
had nothing to do with
"Fantasy."
No one is criticizing the
beauty of one float over
another but everyone is
wondering why the judges did
not consider the theme in the
Each generation has only a
temporary rendezvous with
the land; despite fee titles and
documents of ownership we
are no more than brief tenants
on this planet.

Man is the only animal that
can be bored, that can be
discontented, and that can feel
evicted from paradise. Man is
the only animal for whome his
own existence is a problem
which he has to solve and from
which he cannot escape...Rea
son, man's blessing, is also
his curse.

Contrary to AAUP hopes, Sen.
Smith opposed increasing
state aid to private colleges
beyond the present amount of
S2OO per N.C. student. Instead
he gave priority to helping the
state's public primary and
secondary schools, now rank
ed 47th in the nation.
Dr. Cameron West talked
about the important role of
private colleges in North
Carolina. Since they receive
less public money per student,
private schools educate people
at a smaller cost to the state
than do state universities.
Indirectly, private colleges
help reduce state expendi
tures for higher education.
C. L. Haslcm, legal counsel
for Duke U. and former AAUP
selection of the winning float.
Although winning the prize
is not the most important
aspect of building and
exhibiting a float, it could very
easily discourage hopeful
float-builders from following
the theme next year. At worst,
il may even create a "Was it
all worth it feeling?" in the
people who built floats with
the theme in mind.
The Union owes an
explanation to the people who
worked so hard building floats
which would add to the
thematic impact of the parade.
We hope an answer will be
forthcoming.

of financial hardship on

reasons unless the college first

cities, cuts expenditures
outside of the academic

its financial plight.

Department's Vertebrate Zoo
logy Class will be conducting a
study of the campus gray
squirrels to determine the
population size and structure.
Wooden box traps have been
constructed so that the
squirrels may be captured
unharmed. These boxes will
be baited and placed at
strategic locations on campus.
The Vertebrate Zoology stu

regularly each day. The
captured squirrels will have
small numbered tags clipped
onto the ear and then
released.
The study will be carried out
over a two week period. The
first week of trapping will

its landed assets to raise
money for faculty salaries.
The AAUP convention also
included a panel discussion by
faculty members concerning
situations of financial exigen
cy. Moderated by Fred
Parkhurst, the panel included
Ms. Whittakerof Shaw, where
more than 20 faculty have
been dismissed, and Anne
Culley of St. Mary's, which is
three million in debt.
One suggestion emerging
from the audience was that

of already tagged squireels.
The total population size can
be mathematically determined
from the ratio of tagged to
untagged animals captured
the second week. Observa

classes of the handled
specimens will provide infor

structure.
We solicit the help of all
persons in the college
community in seeing that the
traps remain undisturbed.
Otherwise accurate results
cannot be obtained. Also,
confined squirrels that are
subjected to stress will quickly
go into shock and die. So it is

Is its definition even feasible?
