North Carolina Newspapers

1 From The Clarion Situation: Unstable! T-ately we’ve been engrossed in reading campus newspapers from other colleges and universities across the country, and primarily on the East Coast. Of particular interest was a headline article in the DIAMONDBACK, the University of Maryland’s daily student newspaper. The headline read: SGA THREATENS DRINK-IN PROTEST, and the first paragraph went thus: “The Student Government Association Cabinet last night gave the University an ultimatum to abandon its alcoholic beverage pro hibition by October 31 or face campus-wide drinking by the night before homecoming.” Well now, obviously they are either complete idiots, or they know they can get away with it. We daresay, if the Brevard College student body at tempted sUch an action of protest, there would no longer be a student body. It is our belief that things have gotten a bit out of hand up in Maryland. When an institution reach es the point where it is under the control of the students’ random will, things are in pretty sorry shape. Surely .students should be allowed to govern themselves, but only to a certain extent, and certain ly they should not be given the power to control the course of university law. On this point Brevard College is above the large universities, in that it does not allow its student body to force its will upon the course of school events. This is not dictatorship; rather, it is temperance. And temperance must be grasped before responsibility is allowed. : ! ; j The drinking situation at the University of Mary land is similar to the situation at Brevard—students are forbidden to drink, possess, or sell alcoholic bev erages on campus. Of course, drinking at Brevard is entirely forbidden, but again, the situation is simi lar. ! At the U. of Md., they have decided to demon strate, since all other action has been futile. At Brevard, the SGA stands as an experiment in stud ent government, and can be disbanded at the first sign of rebellion. In other words, if Brevard stud ents can effectively govern themselves within the framework of rules set forth and approved by the administration and faculty, all is well and good. And we agree. However, the students at the University of Mary land have taken the responsibility given them and have twisted it into an instrument for self-gain. This is “dictatorship.'1 And this is what Brevard College is striving to prevent by teaching its students the meaning of responsible government — govern ment with a clear head and a sense of values, so that they ntf^F be responsible citizens of the United States. SENATOR SAM ERVIN * SAYS * (Continued From Page Two) this bill and what its provisions should be. Anti-crime legislation has run into drafting difficulties, too. The Senate Judiciary Commit tee has been working for weeks on a measure to aid local en forcement officials in their ef forts to cope with mounting crime rates. This bill remains os one of the major legislative concerns to be resolved at this session. TJ. S. trade policy became a major concern last month when the Senate Finance Committee attached an amendment to the Social Security amendments it is considering. Four members of the Cabinet sought to stem consideration of the trade quotas provisions which indus tries have urged to protect mil lions of American jobs against inroads made by foreign im ports. Most of these problems which confront Congress have been aggravated by reason of the Vietnam War and the critical need to deal with the financial problems facing the country. This situation has made it nec essary to make some hard choices by reason of growing opposition to more taxes, more spending, and more Federal controls over individuals and the economy. In this situation, it is difficult to say what the out come of these meausres will be until tiie final bills are worked out. pgand building amm EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO BUILD AND REPAIRI v •(•if: I Hiw • Concrete # ^ FREE '£ DELIVERY Mims Completes Course At Marine Base Marine Private Daniel E.

F, Mitchell, de ceased, late of Transylvania County, this is to notify all per SO THIS IS.j NEW YORK NORTH CALLAHAN nun r»imam jman, vice president ef Dodd, Mend and Company, I went aboard the Queen Elisabeth docked in the Hudson River to a sort of gala that turned out to be essentially a fashion show. It seems that five British mod els had been flown over here the same day and had given the show in London a few hours before, repeated it en route by airplane and then did it again on the Queen Elisabeth for enthusiastic New Yorkers. According to Sy Presten, an official, “no British invaders ever looked so stunning and shapely.” They were called the Clive Set Models, named after their director, and showed off the latest togs from London and thereabouts. Some of the clothes, though modern look ed very attractive, especially those displayed by Jenny Bur bridge, London’s “model of the year.” One would not have suspected that the girls had performed in England, in the air and here within 15 hours. After the show, Bill Oman and I walked around the Queen Elizabeth and recalled nostalgi cally our former trips oh her. A magnificent vessel, she is the last of the great British linets to be plying her course regular ly, and will end her trans-ocean career in 1968, as did the Queen Mary recently. Bill was remind ed of Sarah Churchill who wrote a recent book for his company named “A Thread in the Tap estry” in which she recalls her father, Sir Winston, in some of his appealing moments. “Apart from the physical factor of the effort it cost him to speak in the last years, his mind was clear”, she wrote. She also told of when he was kissed twice at a ceremony by the president of Turkey, after which Winnie quipped, “The trouble with me is that 1 am irresistible.” Tc Charlie Chaplin who had grave ly announced that his next role would be that of JesuS Christ, Churchill said, “Have you clear ed the rights?” In limes Square, there is a new gimmick. It is a trash basket which talks to people. A woman who threw a chew ing gum wrapper onto the sidewalk nearby was aston ished when the basket said, ‘‘Madam, a cleaner New York is up to you. I’m Lively Louie and Pd like to be of use.” A crowd gathered immediately. “What’s your name, Madam?” asked the trash basket “My pen name,” she inquired. “Any name,” replied the bas ket. ‘Tm a writer and I don’t talk to trash cans”, she answered lnaignanuy ana walked ott. Of course the voice was that of a sanitation worker concealed in a near by building. Chattanooga, Tennessee has also started using the same idea. But the Southern version only says “Thank yon” upon receiving a deposit. Babylon may have had Its hanging gardens but this city has a hanging golf course. It is atop a sports store at Madison Avenue and 45th Street, twelve stories above the street. The course has six holes and is a sort of hill and dale putting type. There is also a keep-your head-down driving range and a professional to give you tips, even lending you clubs and balls; Naturally they hope one will drop around a buy a few things — but this is not com pulsory. Stopped in at the Algonquin Hotel on 44th Stret and re called its earlier fame when its owner wrote a book about it and called It “A Wayside Inn.” Here tbe literati of New York — of a sort at least— used to congregate, Robert Benchley, Heywood Broun, George Jean Nathan, Alexan der Woolcott and others such as Christopher Morley, to talk shop over their liquid refreshments. It is not a large hotel and has changed little —which is all to the good, for so many things have. Hey wood Hale Broun, son of the former one, relates that sometimes a poker game went on at the Round Table of the Algonquin, which lasted from Saturday until Monday. “That was part of New York in the twenties,” he fondly recalls, “a city and a time that seems as far away and wonderful to us now as Athens and the Age of Pericles appeared to Hie lonely litefates of the early Middle Ages.
