To the masses of people throughout the state he attributed the right to govern this Uni Tersity and its policy. To himself he dedicated th duty of in structing these people in University activities. To the students on this campus he is supposed to be the savior, who works that we may be freed from the dread fingers of radicalism. Question: Mr. Clark, will you define socialism? Mr. Clark : I do not know what it is. Yes, Mr. Clark came and saw but he did more than that. He , exposed. He exposed himself as evidently ignorant of the very doctrines against which he wags his tongue. He exposed his methods, which purport to stir the masses of people through what we believe are misrepresented facts. He exposed his tactics, when he tread water and turned aside honest questions until he could perhaps, in the sanctity of his Charlotte office, pen further stuff which would hide the evasion and further carry on his cause. Question: Will you print, Mr. Clark, a statement of true facts on a matter which I believe you have misrepresented, if I write it and send it to you? Answer: Yes "... if I can believe it. ivir. iarjt cua not leave nimseu unguarded. His smeld was always up. How sincere questions could be asked in all fairness and expected answered is not known ; the shield of blunt evasion turned aside truth itself. We are registering natural student indignation at Mr. Clark and at the manner in which he attempted to justify himself here Tuesday night. In his speech there were misrepresentations and i in the discussion which followed there were evasions. What we are indignant about is that Mr. Clark is the self-styled University mouthpiece for the. state ; it is he who tells North Carolinians that , this University is a hot-bed of radicalism. If it were true, then we would stand for fairness in justifying the radicalism if it is ; to be justified. But it is not true and we, as students who live and breathe in this educational center, resent attacks which are so maliciously perpetrated. Question: Mr. Clark, how are students planning to study and enter government going to understand their own government or what is wrong with it if they do not know what socialism and communism are? Answer: The question is not sincere. Therein lies the sincerity of the man who has been carrying on ' a fight for years against our University. We can only thank God I that we have a man at the helm of the University whose greatness : can maintain itself in the face of such vicious attacks, whose per sonality is more powerful than all the Textile Bulletins in the world. - We students who love this University are not going to let this : thing die down. We are youths who want fair play and justice .' and we will factually throw our hat into ihe ring and prove to this state that we on this campus and not David. Clark are the ones who understand and appreciate.the motives of this University. , It is not the attack against radicalism that bothers us ; Mr. Clark, as all other reactionaries, can shout his head off for. all we care. But we do resent his dragging the University before the state as a subversive institution, making our president seem an unprincipled demagogue, and misrepresenting University efforts to educate us in the liberal traditions of a traditionally famous educational system v We are saying nothing libelous. His misrepresentations we. will prove and his efforts to throttle our president and, our educational pursuits we will present. We are students indignant. N'YOtTRE Talking "SOME OF US DOUBTED To the Editor, Daily. Tar Hket,,: '- The UniTersity must blush at the reception Mr. David Clark received from some members of, his audience last night. Worst of the offenders, was Student Charles Lloyd. Mr. Lloyd contributed nothing to the forum discussion, askel , no question of the speaker, but rose from the floor to "congratulate" Mr. Clark on coming to the Uni versity because "some of . us doubted if such a .person really existed in the modern world." Others in the audience last night who were discourteous to Mr. Clark have at. least the ex cuse that they were sincerely trying to force Mr. Clark to face questions which he was evad ing. Mr. Lloyd's mannerless at tack was utterly unwarranted. Mr. Lloyd's recent bitter criti cisms of the Daily Tar Heel's unfair editorializing about the Playmakers and his attacks upon the Daily Tar Heel's movie column have been deserved. But does not Mr. Lloyd realize that a college newspaper's unfair criticism of another department of the college is never in such bad taste as a University stu dent's unprovoked insult to a guest speaker of the University? For the University's and his own sake, will Mr. Lloyd not make a public apology for his sorry exhibition last night? And Mr. Lloyd, if you talk further, please talk more thoughtfully. WALTER HARGETT. THE UNION ANSWERS To the Editor, Daily Tar Heel: In regard to letter appearing in Wednesday's Daily Tar Heel deploring the dearth of up-to- date issues of magazines in the lounge of Graham Memorial, my only reply is that the magazines are placed in the lounge upon their arrival, with flhe exception of three, Fortune, Cosmopolitan, and Esquire, which have disap peared most rapidly in the past. These three are available in the office and must be signed for. I agree heartily with the senti ments expressed by Benton and Bill and would welcome any co operation which they could give in reminding students that in stealing a magazine from the lounge they are depriving other users of the Union of an oppor tunity to read it. Thank you. HARPER BARNES. A. S. M.
