If

s
Not to Be Tolerated
We had hoped to get through the election campaign without
finding it necessary to come out in an open expose and denun
ciation of the unhappy art of mud-slinging.
However, certain groups on the campus have already un-
limbered their political sling-shots and have been 'spotting, up
fraternity court and the lower quad with the filthiest kind of
mud.
Supporters of one candidate for an important position in the
runoff next Tuesday made the rounds Wednesday night. They
visited fraternity groups during their weekly meetings, calling
members of the fraternity outside to give them muddy am
munition for a political speech. Similarly, groups appeared in
some of the dormitories bearing thq same evil word.
The always handy terms "nigger lover," anti-fraternity, et
cetera were used freely by the canvassing campaigners. Such
out and put viciousness in campaigning for any office on the
Carolina campus should not be condoned. Granting that the
candidate himself ig not responsible, his supporters are, and
the only possible result from such disparity can be a loss of
votes for the man whose side is muddying what have been
fairly clear political waters.
When any person or persons must stoop to the level described
above to try to win an election, campus politics has hit a new
low. And anyone who allows ugly rumors to change his mind
doesn't have sense enough to be voting.
While on the subject, it strikes us as a shame that so much
emphasis must be put on the fraternity-dormitory division.
No dormitory candidate is anti-fraternity, no fraternity can
didate ia anti-non-fraternity groups. An unfortunate bitter
ness does exist among the followers of both groups. The can
didates themselves cannot be condemned for this feeling, how
ever. The men responsible are the dormitory and fraternity
men who stubbornly refuse to realize that talent and ability
abound on bolh sides of the imaginary barrier many of them
have constructed. Such a narrow and stupid division should be
discarded by those who pledge blind allegiance to the party flag
in the important election runoff coming up Tuesday.
So we urge students to follow the judgment they have already
shown themselves capable of exercising. They should not allow
themselves to become entangled in a quagmire of mud.
The Daily Tar Heel has and will carry on impartial coverage
' of the political race, but if further evidence of such underhanded
work is brought to our attention, we shall not fail to make all
the information public and shall do our best to make the persons
responsible suffer as a result.
Ugly action like that which has already started and which,
we hope) has already ceased, cannot be tolerated by any fair
minded individual. Dirty politics is not a necessary evil of any
campus election. Those who think so will not prosper at Caro
IRC Forum .
Nations of World A Failing
To Make Political Advances
(The following article includes some of the high-lights from Sen.
Hatch's address last night on the campus under International Relations
club sponsirship.) ' '
While tremendous advances have been made along so many
lines, the almost terrifying thought comes that nations of the
world have not similarly progressed in their political relations
with each other.

The Other Half
Sociologists and politicians alike
have a pet phrase "the other half"
to describe a large and legendary
group of the nation's citizenry. Caro
lina has "the other half," too, al
though for a slightly different reason.
A total of 3,523 students voted in
the annual spring elections Tuesday.
In the light of previous turnouts, that
number represented a worthy im
provement over the blase attitude
shown in other years. Still, a little two
, plus two calculation would show that
almost one-half the student body
would rather to copy Li'l Abner go
fishing than to exercise their right
of ballot.
This is not one of those usual har
angues about indifference in a de
mocracy. We would simply be inter
ested to know why, even today, s
many eligible voters stay away from
the polls as attend. Who are they?
Where do they hide?
Runoffs for the present voting ccme
up next Tuesday. If you are a member
of "the other half," cast your vote
to make amends for the first time.
If you voted the first time, do so again,
and help make Carolina campus gov
ernment representative of ALL the
students.
nearly everything I heard and saw on
a trip which I made with some other
members of Congress only last month.
Ten of us left Washington late one
night to attend the Inter-parliamen
tary Union at Cairo. We spent Easter
Sunday in Jerusalem. We stayed five
and one-half days in Cairo attending
the sessions of the Union. We visited
with many high officials of govern
ment in Ankara, Istanbul, Athens,
Rome and Paris.
In Turkey and Greece conditions
exist which have prevailed almost
since the world began. In that area,
of the world I found beyond any
possibility of doubt the age-old am
bition of a strong nation to expand
and impose upon weaker nations its
power, influence and even its philo
sophy of government.
Any nation which voluntarily
chooses communism or any other
form of government has the perfect
right to do so and no nation has any
right to object. There is ample room
in the world for both capitalistic and
communistic nations to live together,
even as friends and neighbors.
However, I am opposed to the ex
pansion of any doctrine or state by
extending boundaries or by force,
conquest, infiltration or propaganda.
I supported on the floor of the Sen
ate and in committee the present
program designed to aid Greece and
Turkey to maintain their sovereignty,
to choose for themselvas the type of
government they want without dom
ination from the outside.
We dare not betray the almost sim
ple, childlike faith Greece and her peo
ple place in the United States.
But it is currently charged that the
path we choose will lead to war;
that it is a dangerous course imper
ialistic in design. That it is a dan
gerous path, I do not dispute. Risks
will be inherent in any course .we
pursue. Let us first determine what
will not be afraid.
It is unfortunate that the charge
of imperialistic ambition has been
laid against our country, it is ex
tremely unfortunate that a great and
good man has allowed himself to be
drawn into opposition tQ present poli
cies and that he has repeated here and
abroad charges that are the same
which are being broadcast against
us by Russia.
It is not imperialism that causes
us today to grant assistance r to
Turkey and Greece, asking in re
turn only that they be permitted
to pursue their own way of life,
free from domination by other na
tions, including ourselves.
Last summer I witnessed the ex
plosion of two atomic bombs at Bi
kini. If I had seen nothing else this
would have been sufficient to prove
conclusively that no nation is strong
enough to resist forces of total de
struction. Civilization cannot survive
an age 01 wholesale, mass atomic
warfare. Even as "we now have no

Yesterday, while I was sipping in my

with his family, discussed with me
the outcome of the recent elections.
As I moaned in my nightcap (one
part soda), Dumbo congratulated me
on finishing third in the race for mem

Only four were running.
"Trouble is, Dumbo," I muttered,

"Water," says Dumbo and I nods
yes and continue. "Now lookit Allen

into his beer. "My Scotch ancestry"
he mutters as he shudders down the

Changing the subject to save my
pride, I query Dumbo about the rea

"Davidoff tells me this ayem,

"Carryover irom the armed ser

"Yes," he sagely nods. "But why
are Kinberg and Allen yet running

"For their health!" I quip.
"And the rest of the horse. He won,
suppose."
"That, Dumbo isn't nice."

Interest in the well-being of stu
dent's vocal cords reached a new peak
on campus this week as a resujt of
the Valkyrie Sing. Judges along with
the audience had a hard time deter
mining the winners from the 11 con
testing choral groups.
However, after much debate and
careful consideration the ADPi's don
ned their rain coats and umbrellas
and "Stormy Weather" with soloist
Tip Summers washed away some of
the doubt as to the winning voices. In
the men's division the Phi Gams
switched the scene and blended their
voices to form a boy's choir and ren
dered "Abide With Me" and "Scan
dalize My Name.' and copped top
honors in the menfe section of the
contest. '
Tradition," original song compos
big hit. The words and music are still
resounding in the throats of those
of the audience. The KA's drew whole
hearted applause for their black
faced skit which included "Snowball"
and '"Waiting for the Robert E. Lee."
All of the groups that participated
with their musical scores put on a
good showing and have no doubt cre
ated a great deal of interest for next
year's singfest.
Carolina's latest undergrox:nd
movement has stolen interest from
the pending election run-off slated for
next Tuesday. Would-be professors'
and students' voices have reached a
new volume under the strain of steam
shovels and dump trucks. However
the steam shovels on campus are not
the only machinery that is capable of
dirt-slinging. Tuesday is election day.
