Page Two THESALEMITE NovemberlS. |» Tree Planting - - Oh, Yes! Tree planting—oh yes, that is the assembly when everyone follows the seniors outside, and no one can see or hear what is happening. Last year Legislative Board appointed a committee to study Salem’s traditions. In studying senior tree planting, the com mittee found that these trees were planted at the wrong time of the year and usually died. They recommended that tree planting be crossed off the list of traditions. However, tree planting is still with us. We do not easily get rid of 71-year- old traditions even if there is no place for a tree. But why change tree planting? After all, it is a tradition. And it is good for one short assembly. UNC Board Of Trustees, Davidson Begin Action “But the peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opin ion is, that it is robbing the human race; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of ex changing error for truth: if wrong, they lose what is as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error.” John Stuart Mill in “On Liberty” The Speaker Ban war goes on in private colleges, state- supported universities, and political lobbies. The Board of University Trustees for the University of North Carolina unanimously adopted a resolution deploring the law and authorizing Governor Terry Sanford, Chairman of the Board, to appoint a special committee to investigate measures to remove this legislation. At this same meeting Chancellor John T. Caldwell of N. C. State read a resolution passed by State’s faeulty which stated free exchange of opinion is essential to edueation. He cited three cases where the Speaker Ban has resulted in the loss of a worthy speaker. In one case, a visiting Russian scientist, V. V. Sokolovskiy did not place N. C. State on his itinerary of speaking engagements in U. S. colleges and universities because of the Speaker Ban bill. Another case where the act may harm educational progress in N. C. is the planned meeting of the American Physical So ciety either in 1965 or 1966. The Daily Tar Heel, October 30, ran a story on this purposed meeting. The artiele said the APS was assured that it would not have to cheek the politieal affiliation of its speakers However, they do not know what the case would be if any scientists are invited from the Soviet Union Saturday, November 9, Chancellor William B. Aycock of the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, spoke to the UNC alumni. He attaeked the law as an insult and a limitation im posed on higher edueation. Aycock pointed out that the legis lature has been trying to get seientists into this area. The Legislature passed an appropriation of $2 million to establish a National Science Board in the Research Triangle. Now, it makes the area unfavorable by passing a bill which makes some question every newcomer with a strange name. The state schools are not the only eolleges worried about the threat to freedom of thought. The November 8 issue of The Davidsonian printed a resolution on possible censorship of speakers which the faeulty of Davidson College adopted by unanimous vote. “An essential part of the education of each student at David son College is the opportunity to hear diverse viewpoints ex pressed by speakers invited to the campus by student organi zations as well as by members of the faculty and adrainistira-' tion. It is highly desirable that students have the opportunity to question, review, and discuss the opinions of speakers repre senting a wide range of viewpoints.” The fight over the Speaker Ban Bill continues. The bill is as State Senator Perry Martin said to the UNC as reported in The Daily Tar Heel, November 1, “a great insult to State-sup ported institutions, to the people of North Carolina and to the Fifth Amendment.” Holli ns Holds Open House We are always wondering why other colleges have successful dance weekends. The usual comment is, “If Converse can do it, so can we.” Let us look at another school’s program. The November 7 issue of Hollin’s Columns ran an artiele about the 1963 Cotillion to be held November 22-24. Hollins is going to have three name bands—The Drifters, Howard Devron, and Meyer Davis featuring Cy Delman. Fri day night the Devron Band will play from 8 p.m. until 2 a.m., after which sandwiches and coffee will be served. The formal dance on Saturday night with Meyer Davis playing is to be at the Hotel Roanoke. Hollins will hold Open House after the Drifters’ concert Sat urday. “It is the one time when boys are allowed beyond the social room door for a behind-the-scenes glimpse at ‘Hollins boudoirs. ’ ” How does Hollins pay for all this? Tickets are $12. Drink tickets are 50 cents apiece for bourbon and Scotch, 75 cents for champagne. The Cotillion Club has spent $1500 extra to “assure success” of the dance. If $1500 is extra, it would be interesting to know what is usually spent. Need we wonder any longer about the success of other col- leg)e dances? ‘Tor Heaven s Sake!"
