GLAMOUR PANEL-AAembers of the "glamour panel" answer questions put to them by members of
the Murfreesboro Explorer Troop last week during an inormal discussion on boy-girl relationship.
Explorer Scouts Explore
For Answers About Girls
Letter to the Editor
The questions would have re
quired the best answers from Ann
Landers herself, but the “glamour
panel,” composed of four lovely
Chowan College coeds came
through in the fine traditions as
members of the Murfreesboro Ex
plorer Scouts fired questions con
cerning social relationships with
their opposites, girls.
The “glamour panel," was held
in the basement of the Murfrees
boro Baptist Church last week to
acquaint the Explorers, who will
soon t>e exploring the social world
themselves, with proper attitude re
garding their relations with girls.
Making up the panel were Mary
Ellen Roosendaal, Sharon Tyler,
Randy Holt and Jeanette Duncan.
Kathy Smith, a senior at Murfrees
boro High School, acted as mod
erator and Explorer leader Truitt
Duncan presided.
Some of the questions put to
the lovely panelists required care
ful thinking and precise answers
but the girls came through in fine
style and the Explorers gained
useful information.
Questions were: What do girls
think about shy boys? How for
ward should a boy be? How do
you ask a girl for a date? How
old should you be to start dating
and what about going steady?
Other questions fired at the
panel: Should a boy keep both
hands on the steering wheel while
on a date? Should you steal a
kiss or ask for one? How can you
tell when a girl wants to date
you? Should you kiss a girl
on the first date? How soon should
you start kissing a girl and “mak
ing out and stuff?”
In answering the last question
on “making out”, panel members
told the Explorers and other Scouts
who attended that “making out”
shouldn’t be attempted just be
cause it is a trend, boys should
respect their dates. However, the
panel let it be known that it is
the girl who sets the pace on a
date.
First Date
As to kissing a girl on the
first date, the panel was em
phatic and unanimous in their dis
sent. They felt that the first date
was for getting acquainted, that if
the relationship progressed the boy
should wait for some sign from
the girl first and not be overly
agressive.
The panel told the Scouts not
to worry about shyness on the first
date, that girls usually allowed
several dates before judging a
boy’s character and personality.
When the panel discussion ended
the Scouts all agreed they had
gained considerable knowledge
from the discussion concerning
their approaching relationship with
members of the opposite sex.

The Editor,
THE CHOWANIAN
Chowan College
Murfreesboro, N. C.
Dear Sir:
It is with extreme disfavor that
I look upon the attitudes of several
students on this campus with re
gard to their proposals for the fu
ture of HB 1395. a North Carolina
state law.
This law, ratified on June 26,
1963, prohibits Communist Party
members, those adovcating their
cause, and those having pleaded
the Fifth Admendment in refusing
to answer questions concerning
communist or subversive connec
tions or activities, from using the
facilities of a state supported col
lege or university for speaking
purposes in North Carolina. This
law is not innovational; it has been
enacted in several states, includ
ing Ohio.
The aforementioned students
prompted by a state student or
ganization of leftist leanings, would
have HB 1395 repealed. I can as
sure you that the sentiment and
action of these students in this
matter is not shared by the vast
majority of responsible advocates
of our system of government. The
reason for this is simple. Respon
sible people believe in the Consti
tution. and believe it should be
respected. They believe that there
is ample room for dissent in our
society within constitutional limits,
and that such dissent and contro
versy should be encouraged. These
responsible people, however, also
believe hat there is no reason to
tolerate dissent which violates ex
isting constitutional limitations —
and that advocacy and conspiracy
of force and violence constitutes
violation.
Communists, Nazis, etc., repre
sent ideals and activities which are
outside the sphere of what the
Constitution permits as “political
activity.”
The Supreme Court has declared
this to be true regarding the Com
munist Party in every case. In
Barenblatt v. United tSates, June
8. 1959. the Court said this: “This
court in its constitutional adjudica
tions has consistently refused to
view the Communist aPrty as an
ordinary political party, and has
upheld federal legislation aimed at
the Communist problem which in
a different context would certainly
have raised constitutional issues of
the gravest character.”
Gus Hall, himself the leader of
the Communist Party, U.S.A., ex
plained why his Party is not tole
rated as a political group—while
under oath during a trial in 1934
in Minneapolis when he was con
victed in connection with a riot in
that city. During his trial, Hall
tesified as follows:
"Q. But you would prefer the
Russian—you would prefer to be
in Russia?
“A. I prefer America with a
Soviet government.
“Q. And you are willing to fight
and overthrow this Government?
“A. Absolutely.
“Q. And you are willing to take
up arms and overthrow the conr
stituted authorities?
“A. When the time comes,
‘Yes’.”
Last year, the Supreme Court
upheld the constitutionality of laws
which declare the Communist
Party, U.S.A., to be under the con
trol and discipline of the Soviet
Union, and which require the Com
munist Party organization to regis
ter with the Attorney General.
When the Communist Party, under
the direction of Gus Hall, refused
to comply with that decision, the
Court upheld the action of the Gov
ernment to place Gus Hall and
other Communist leaders under in
dictment.
Offering a state supported col
lege or university as a forum for
a communist—who stands in defi
ance to the law of our land—is
tantamount to sharing in his dis
respect and defiance. Are we to
compromise with temptation and
curiosity at the expense of respon
sibility?
The case against the Nazi (i. e.
George Lincoln Rockwell! is simi
lar. Although he does not exist in
defiance of the letter of the law he
does exist in complete and utter
defiance of the fact of the law:
fact which just two decades ago
caused scores of North Carolinians
and tens of thousands of Americans
and other freemen to shed their
blood and sacrifice their lives to
preserve our heritage from the
tyranny which Rockwell’s Nazism
represents. An invitation to a Nazi
to use a state supported college
or university as a forum can ac
complish nothing moret han bring
ing scorn to the memory of those
patriots who gave their all in de
fending us from Nazism, and fla
grant to the fact and moral code
of our own Constitution.
Let the students and faculty of
Chowan College take this same re-
sponsibile attitude, and show the
same respect for law with regard
to Communists. Nazis, and those
who generally advocate the over
throw of our system of justice and
freedom, which has thus far work
ed so well. Let discretion be the
better part of valor. Let admira
tion for law transcend those press
ing little curiosities which cause
us all to rationalize almost any
behaviour on the grounds that “we
want to hear what these men have
to say.”
If and when the Student Gov
ernment Constitution is ratified and
when the President of the Student
Government brings to the attention
of the Student Senate under the
Constitution the resolution to repeal
HB 1395, let us resound with an
unalterable defeat of this resolu
tion in the name of decency, jus
tice, and the sustenance of the
American heritage upon which is
the rock of our lives.
Respectfully yours,
GEORGE H. ARCHIBALD
She Needs a Surf
For Her Board
(ACP)-Rosemarie Elder, coed
at Duquesne University, Pitts
burgh, Pennsylvania, would like
the University Planning Commit

DUQESNE DUKE, cam
pus newspaper, reports that Rose
marie entered a radio contest
which offered a used hearse,
which is a popular device for
transporting loads of surfers and
their surfboards. She wanted the
hearse for other reasons: “So i
could take kids to basketball
games and parties and picnics.”
Instead, she won a consolation
prize of a surfboard, and it just
sort of clutters up her room as
of now.
