So said Phillips Russell, quiet-spoken professor of journalism, to his crea tive writing class the other day when a discussion arose over University so phistication. Even the biggest talkers in the room, who had been busy damming sophisti cation as artificial and unnecessary, were a bit stun ned at the state ment. They did- n't mind admit ting that they dis liked the bored air of the sophis ticate, hut the word "hay" stuck j in their craws. - Professor Rus sell expllained that over half of the neonle of North Carolina live in rural areas and yet University students, being school- j ed by these "bumpkins," attempt to be the opposite of their homespun sim plicity and sincerety. To this writer the fact that a school of thev people should produce gradu-l ates. who (through attempted sophis tication) look with scorn on the cfraio-Titfnrward manners of their I elders, is sad but true.

Woodburn Chase called our University a svmbol and example of the things of the spirit that must be fostered in the world. He was referring to the his toric liberalism, the age-old striv ing for a democratic ideal which others also have told us is a part of our campus. The University s former president sees, in the peaceful environment of a coun try village with a great tradition and a tolerant freedom, an op portunity to bring such an ideal to perfection. From a rostrum in Woollen gynlnasium last year the Presi dent of the United States called our University a representative of liberal teaching and cited our recognition of that philosophy as a primary reason for his accept ance of the invitation to speaK here. These are the opinions of two of the University's recent visit ors. We venture to say that they mirror the views of dozens of others who have been here. The national reputation of the University has been achieved primarily through recognition of its philosophy of liberalism a nhilosonhv which has its roots in an administration thinking and acting in terms of the present and future. Tt us horje that with some de gree of success this philosophy be instilled into the minds and souls of the generations of us who come to Chapel Hill seek ing education and a better way of life. DEMOCRACY Oh, Bandied Word! "Whereas the United States of America was founded for the solemn purpose of assuring to all men their equal and unalien able rights of life " reads nublicitv on our "social life."

Squeaks : , c4nd g Squawks TAR HEEL DEAD By MACK IIOBSON Asking a student to stop walking across the gras3 is like askinsr him to study. He figures that's what grass is for, to walk across. The carpets in Graham Memorial are green, and that's what they're for. Green is such a nice color to walk across, and grass is so very soft and springy and com fortable much more comfortable than those old hard walks somebody built all over the campus. -It makes him feel close to nature to dig his toes into the green earth, and when some body bumps into him, it makes him feel like a football player. Besides, he likes to walk across the grass. The pathetic little "Please" signs with the amputated hands pointing back and forth are a mystery to him. They arouse his curiosity horribly, and he sometimes goes so far as to wonder what they are. He would ask somebody, but nobody looks that in telligent so he goes around mumbling something about "It doesn t look like the University would spoil the beauty of the grass by putting signs around all over it." The best way to get him to use the walks would be to plant grass on them. It might be a good idea to, build a four-lane boulevard between South building and the library, like the one they're going to build between Duke and Carolina. Then the students would have to go out of their way to walk across the grass. There is no danger of a student going out of his way. The only other, way to keep the student body off the grass is to build a Maginot line around it (the grass or the student body take your choice). If somebody insists on going across anyway, blow him up. This would spread him out evenly over the crass and wouldn't make any tracks . . . And then, you can always call in the Interdormitory and Interfraternity councils and let them suggest some thing. Blame it all on geometry. We should never have been taught that a straight , line is the shortest distance to wherever you're going. By You To the Hitch Hikers: Do you . really expect motorists to pick you up when you are dressed so sloppy? How. about cleaning. up. a bit before you start out on your week-end I escapades ? You could at least put on a fresh shirt. Even thougn it wouia require a few extra minutes I am sure you will find that you will get a ride much sooner. A MOTORIST.

MOTORIST Advances Helpful Tip To Thumbers "Do you really expect motor ists to pick you up when you are dressed so sloppy?" inquires "A Motorist" in a letter to the editor aimed - at Carolina's unkempt hitch-hikers. "Cleaning up a bit," and the donning of a fresh shirt are ad vocated by the letter writer for those students who hope . to thumb their way out of Chapel will for their "weekend es capades." Carolina gentlemen absolute ly refuse to dress as dudes like students at a nearby institution. It iust isn't part of their make up to pose as mannequins while attending to the duties of going hall and Hill hall. Space for expansion has been left adjoining the first studio and it is hoped that this will be neces- earw ennn after the University es tablishes itself as an important radio outlet in the state. Present plans for programs include Playmaker productions, musical con- norts hxr fhe TJniversitv band and other local orchestras, pre-college ciiidance uroerrams and others of different nature. to school. In classroom, the stu dents like to dress just within the bounds of respectability. That's all good and well just between ourselves. We all under-' stand each other's failings. But when we are taking to the curb for a free lift to other parts, we should remember that our little eccentricities may not be pardon able in the eyes of a lot of motor ists. This motorist was concerned enough to write a letter about slovenly dress. His advice that the well-dressed hitch-hiker, not the slovenly-clothed bum, gets Taa ia nuite sound. If we would improve our standing in the order of thumb-twirlers, we would do well to accept this ad vice. We'd probably travel faster. 3 aS&7 L r lr C T. mUt M vf j w jt -- m ?1AV MIDNIGHT SHOW TONIGHT CAROLINA-PICK THEATRES REGULAR SHOWING SATUI CAROLINA THEATRE
