Elliot To Help Something Better Grow o Tea Parties ; Last Wednesday $150.00 was set aside by Gra ham Memorial Board of Directors to be used before June 30 for Student-Faculty afternoon "teas."- " The appropriation followed a steady fall-quarter clamor for informal student-faculty "get-togethers" to come more often than the annual fete, Student-Faculty Day, itself a brilliant con necting influence but hardly a consummative af fair in its seldomness. Just now Director Pete Ivey, in whose Student Union the coming "teas will be held, is hurriedly appointing his Tea Committee to actually set up the series program. Everything settled, we may get started on a pretty good program, these teas. Of course, the committee'll have to rule on such questions as faculty wives and the contracts to Chase and San born and Orange Pekoe. J.M.S. SAND AND , SALVE By Stuart Rabb FLAYED" 58 Equals 58 "That's darn good," says Pete Ivey, "we've still got an Honor System here." Two weeks ago, 58 books on philosophy were placed in the small lounge of Graham Memorial To date, 58 are still there. In the main lounge such favorites as Reader's Digest, Esquire, and Fortune are reported missing each month imme diately after they are placed there for student use. ; But the 58 philosophy books are still on the shelf. "That's darn good," says, Pete Ivey.-G.B. Thus So Reaction Fred Weaver struck a new note Monday. Com menting on the Carolina tradition of freedom and liberality, he suggested that possibly the under graduate's free reign to do or not to do, to take advantage or not take advantage . . . is just testi mony of grim inefficiency somewhere. - " Lack of direction from the fathers of the, insti tution is disguised in a happy worship of collegiate "freedom." Students come, take what they might happen to find in one of the curricula (often get ting mis-fitted for life), catch a few student enter tainment programs because they've been paid for, and go out to the world with a diploma, having found no common ground of philosophy or "cul ture" that might distinguish them from disillu sioned technicians. . . "Freedom?" Just a maze! No guidance, and we love it. J.M.S. WHEELS WITHIN Just when hope for settlement seemed justified, Mr. John L. Lewis went into a clinch with Mr. William Knudsen and the General Motors strike suffered additional complications. "Sit-downs are strikes," says Knudsen. "Such strikers are clearly trespassers and violators of the law of the land." Knudsen will .not talk peace until all plants are evacuated. Homer Martin, who calls John Lewis "Boss," says that his un ion will not leave the plants be cause the G-M management is said to have negotiated with the "Flint alliance." The alliance is known to oppose the strike. G-M is on the spot. It is pledged to negotiate with any group of workers. If it refuses the Flint alliance they break their pledge. If it deals with the alliance, Lewis's men will stay on strike in the plants. ; Oh for the peaceful life of a government employe! Correspondence O The Co-op To the Editor, The Daily Tar Heel: In a recent letter to the Daily Tar Heel, Henry Clark made an appeal to the students' of the University to support the Caro lina Co-operative Cleaning asso ciation in which he neglected to mention a few facts which have some bearing on the situation. The prices for cleaning and pressing in Chapel Hill have al-" ways been in line with or cheap er than prices in Durham and other surrounding cities. It is true that the Co-op prices have been lower than those of other cleaners in Chapel Hill but the mere fact that the Co-op has lost so much business that it must make such an appeal as has been made indicates that students were willing to pay the higher price and get more value for their money. It is the student's duty to serve himself I agree, but serve himself by doing business with those firms whose operators have been in business long enough to know the facts and essentials of honest and reliable dealing. . These firms have continually and strongly supported all stu dent publications, the Athletic association, street decorations for various celebrations and other student activities for (Continued on last page") Radio Highlights WPTF 680 KC. 7:30 Ed Wynn. 8:00 One Man's Family. 8:30 -Jean Ellington and Carl Landt. . 8:45 Four Showmen Quartet. 9:00 Town Hall Tonight. 10:00 Hit Parade. 10:30 Meredith Wilson's Orch.

R.'s Letter O New Plan To the Editor, The Daily Tar Heel: Unlike the wise faculty which, during the Daily Tar Heel's protracted vacuous campaign against the vacuity of our educa tional system, has f alied to "stick its neck out," we feel that we can no longer remain quiet. The coherently stupid letters- of J. W. R. with their sophomoric proposals are too much to stom ach. Mr. J. W. R. says that in four quarters at the University out of 19 different instructors he had only four, who seemed to take a genuine interest in his welfare and what he learned. One of us finds that in eight quarters he has had 30 instructors of which 22 took a definite interest in his welfare and how much he learn ed. Of the interest of the re maining eight he is not so posi tive. He does not feel, however, as does the presumptuous J. W. R., that there was any reason for their taking any great inter est in him. He took their courses because of his own interest, not in hopes of arousing theirs. However, when he aroused their interest, he was duly apprecia tive. New Idea In the place of Mr. J..W. R.'s Board of Governors composed of students, we propose precisely the same - sort of organization made up of faculty members who not only will be possessed of the power of firing students not ca pable of college work but also will have the power of discrimi nation against dumb bunnies now admitted under our lax ad mittance regulations. With Mr. J. W. R.'s sugges tion of house cleaning we agree; perhaps he will welcome our sug gestion that he first clean the cobwebs from the attic. Don't mistake our attitude. We are not satisfied with every thing. Likewise, however, we are not satisfied with the type of Nothing this for-wider-intel-lectual-pastures campaign has used. v , George Steele. Lane Barksdale. O More on J. W. R. To the Editor, -The Daily Tar Heel : That 'air J. W. R. shore is a talken, ain't he? Than this mornin' he used that air big word comparably jest like no body's business. 'Course I weren't quite able to ketch what he meant, for I'd a' used com paratively or relatively. But I'll shet up 'fore I show my igner ence. As I wuz sayin', he shore ken talk. And hit would please' me moughty well efen you'd be so neighborly as to print this hear little epistle of commendation. I think he's eksactly right. -When a feller pays his hard cash fur sumthing, he shore as anything wants sumpen in reeturn fer .it; Sence them thar tuition rates and fees is pretty much the same fur everybody, hit seems noth ing but right f er everybody to git the. same thing fur there money. The very idear a'givin one feller one thing and another feller sumthing that ain't worth nigh as much. Hit ain't far ner squar bizness, efen ye asks me. Trying to Teach I ricollect once when I's down at yor skool thar, a seein' them pore young f ellers a thirstin' and a burstin' atter knowledge. And none of them perfessers wuz doin' a durn thing about it but a goin' right on tryin to teach. I , thought about sayin' to 'em: "Ye durn fools, cain't ye see them pore boys is a dyin' fur want of sumthing they ain't gettin'. I've heerd it's knowledge, and why in the lord's name don't ye give it to em and be done with it, and let em go out and have some fun? They've done been here so long, durned, if they don't 'pear like potted plants that ain't never had no air ner sunshine. I jest cain't end this hear without sayin' how "beautiful that air analigy about the house and furniture wuz. Analigies allers tech me. befuddlin'. But I jest cain't get over them (Continued on last page) cllong Radio Row By Ebwin Dasxjxgtox "Attention blimp. Swing di rectly over dome . . . Get set to take it in five minutes . . . Atten tion Senate Doorway . . . Presi dent has just left speaker's stand . . . Stand by." From Columbia's master con irol booth directly beneath the speaker's platform on the Capi tol's east steps, the CBS special features director flashes cues to some 18 remote points through out the nation's capital. Dope Mobilization of radio facilities for the coverage of the inaugural, ceremonies began last Novem ber. The installation and testing of equipment will have consumed 1,000 hours of the engineering department alone. More than 30 microphones will be in use and a total of 20 engineers will con trol equipment during actual broadcasting. : Making use of short waves to an extent never before atempted,. engineers are installing six spe cial transmitters. The "cue transmitter" is spotted in the tip of the Washington monument to relay directions to other points a blimp, two radio equipped limousines, and two roving an nouncers carrying pack sending sets. . During the entire program, listeners will never be out of hearing of the central character in the inaugural drama. They will witness the procession to the Capitol, the administering of the oath, and the traditional inaugu ral procession through remote pick-ups from automobiles, from a blimp, from announcers carry ing pack transmitters, and from a reviewing stand before the Treasury building at the half point on Pennsylvania avenue. Swing music's arch exponent, Raymond Scott, who intrigues listeners with his adroit impro visations on such themes as "Swing, Swing, Mother-in-Law" and "Dead End Blues," doesn't like musical classics. Scott says he has always hated symphonic music and is extremely unhappy They're so durn at symphony concerts. "Beetho ven," he declares, "drives me crazy." But he is "really thrilled by Duke Ellington." From The MusicBox By Harold S. Cone It is difficult to speak of Al bert Spalding's perf oririance of Monday night without repeating more or less literally ihe super lative comments so often made,, or without waxing enthusiasti cally to the point of meaningless raving. Mr. Spalding is an artist who uses his most amazing technique and tone quality to serve the great masters whose music he plays, whereas lesser artists em ploy the music to serve their own technique and tone. Description Insofar as a violin tone can be described in words, his might bQ qualified as strong, thick, full, solid, or stolid, rather than par taking of the quality of "silver thread"; and this firmness is particularly well adapted to the weighty portions of music with serious content. And yet this same tone is frequently dimin ished to such a f eathory softness and lightness that the bow seems to touch the strings only at iso lated intervals, the ear supplying ' the illusion of continuous sing ing. All of the tricks of technique in the way of agility and general this master of his instrument. Program The first portion of the pro gram contained the musical meat, what with Handel's Sonata in E and Beethoven's C Minor So nata. The concentrated meaning of the latter was offered in the best of tradition through a mighty interpretation, in which Andre Benoist proved himself as fine an ensemble performer at the piano as Spalding with his violin. The vigorous themes and their "working out" in the first and last movements were no lses impressive than the deeply .felt slow movement, as is always the place for some of the most pro found expression; and the scher zo third movement, with its rol licking syncopated accents, was on a par with the others. Structure As in all successful perform ances of great works, here there was not only the complete trans fer to the listener of the fullest musical expression, but the structure at all times came across, obviously and easily: all the dialogues, imitations and the like. As a second group, Mr. Spal- dexterity are developed to the dinir offered a coloristic fantasv same high degree as tone quality by the modern Spanish composer and general musicianship, by (Contmued on last page)
