More Advantages
The latest crop of student government leaders should have a
successful year ahead of them. One of the main advantages that
they will have over the former officers will be the new student
government office that is to be established in Graham Memorial
around July 1.
Office space and equipment have been secured in the Student
Union building to house the complete archives of the Student
Legislature, correspondence, and committee reports filed for
future reference.
A private stenographer to prepare the correspondence, type
committee reports, and carry out the general office duties will be
employed to aid the leaders.
The student officers can thank the Graham Memorial Board
and Director for the latest addition to the efficiency of student
government. The Board agreed at a recent meeting to furnish
these services for the next year or at least until they could be
provided for in the student, government budget."
Heretofore the files and archives of the Student Legislature
and committee reports have been very incomplete and inade
quate for reference. They have been kept in the rooms of indivi
dual students and a complete archive is not available. The as
semblage of the reports under one roof should greatly facilitate
the action of the Legislature and committee groups in prepar
ing their material and in expediting matters of importance.
Anti-Lynch Laws
A large segment of American public opinion f rom parading
students at Wofford college to New York Times editorial writ
ers is sadly surprised at the not guilty verdicts in the Green
ville lynch case.
To many the Greenville decision represents nothing more
nor less than a repudiation of the civil rights of an American
citizen. A growing reaction is that withholding punishment or
even the feeling of guilt from the 26 men who admitted their
part in killing Willie Earle in effect legalizes such violation of
a basic American right the right to fair trial.
Such a reaction which for once happily transcends even the
Mason-Dixon line is to many a healthy indication of a healthy
American conscience. In fact, the popular shame over the Green
ville verdicts goes far to alleviate the sense of guilt many feel
over that decision by twelve fellow Americans in the Greenville
court house.
Unfortunately, all the popular shame we can muster will
not alleviate one damaging result of the case. That is the in
evitable hurt the decision will wreak upon American prestige
abroad. The full facilities of the Communist press will be turned
upon showing up this "example of American democracy." And,
as in other miscarriages of American justice, the world will hear
about it.
Immediate passage of federal anti-lynching laws by congress
will be more than ample evidence that the United States as a
whole does not condone such a violation of democratic rights.
It will help convince the world that most of us do believe in our
civil rights. And it will go far to prevent more embarrassing,
6hamef ul crimes as the brutal murder of Willie Earle. W. S.
No More Beach
From South building comes word that .the University has
decided to sow grass seed in the lower-quadrangle court and let
nature take its course behind a stretched-wire enclosure. Now
we ask you, "What is to become of the 'beach ?"
Sunbathers galore have been encamped, on the lower-quadrangle
court, which has been aptly named the "beach", since
the first signs of spring. At almost any hour of the morning or
afternoon, weather permitting, you can see the prostrate bodies
of lower-quad residents basking in the sun. - -
Sun lovers will have to find new headquarters and establish a
new "beach" if they wish to continue their basking.
By Dave Boak
As the DTH pointed out a while
back and as any unwary pedestrian
will quickly discover, the traffic situ
ation has become critical in our over
loaded little town. Cars whip past
the "Y" court in such numbers dur
ing between-class rushes that coeds
observe their only moments of silence
from dawn to dusk while concentrat
ing on crossing Cameron .avenue.
Parking orNunparking in any of the
inadequate areas allotted reminds one
most of those state fair dodgem out
fits. (You know, where enjoyment
gained is directly proportional to the
number of other little cars you can
hit with your little car.) And leave it
be a warning to lower quad car own
ers that rare are the cars with fend
ers intact if they are left parked on
both sides of the street there. It's a
question of there not being quite
enough room.
Look Twice
If anything, it's worse down town.
Within a hundred yards of any corner,
you have to look twice to see whether
the cars ahead are waiting for a light
or are merely double parking while
she tries on "that cute dress." And
by the time you find a parking place,
mm w ' m
you wish you naa waiKea ana it
might be better to walk at that
The Administration, realizing that
the problem will soon get out of hand,
is beginning to investigate causes and
effects. The Traffic committee has re
ceived an expert's report on the sit
uation and is drawing up rules, regu-
ations, resolutions, and what-have-
you ior the consideration 01 "tnose
men," the Board of Trustees. They
figure they can rearrange the layout
of the big space behind Memorial hall
so it can accommodate another long
row of cars; better marking of other
parking areas will help too. Inciden-

the local gendarmie having to find
out who belong's to State license tag
Utah U02N0. More stringent rules
and regulations on parking and on
driving speeds will probably be put
into effect; but with the ever-swelling
ranks of car-driving students, these
will hardly suffice to offset the congestion.
Mock Solution
Well, they can pass all the rules
they want to, but if anything more
than a hollow mockery of a solution
is to be arrived at, it's up to those
of us who own cars to use them with
more discretion: The policeman you
see standing near the "Y" each morn-
tally, a tip to those students who live ! ing has been taking pretty careful
so far out that, they must drive in, I mental notes on automotive trends.
he narkimr space behind Graham i ". . .and then there's the guy, he
fore the dust of his departing foot
steps has settled, cars start parking
haphazardly along the driveway next
to Memorial hall, a strictly taboo pro
cedure. And it's not as though they
were cars owed by students commut
ing from Duii?, who could find no
other place to park: the officer reports
that most of them seem to bear Greek
stickers indicating they come from
place no more remote than fraternity
court.
All this is not .to imply that any
time someone wants to use his car,
either to go up on campus or down
town, he must drive with a guilt com
plex unless he's got a very legitimate
laundry bundle or something with
him. But during class breaks, parti
cularly in mid-morning, the problem
would be cut in half if a little of ye
olde "is this trip necessary?" atti
tude were applied. The Townspeople
seem to have a pretty legitimate
gripe too. Housewives have a habit
of wanting to get their groceries and
things in the morning; their tax-paying
husbands are apt to wax a little
bitter if sweetie pie hasn't brought
home the bacon because she got lost
in the crush of student automobiles
parked down town while their pilots
indulged in the morning coke.
If we who drive cars use a little
more discretion, consideration, and
leg power, we can by restricting our
selves a little, prevent much more
stringent restriction in the near fu
ture; and we can make this campus
a safer and less confused place. A
word in parting to the pedestrians;
they are not wholly exempt. About
two in five (makes 2000) cross the
street with the gay yet complacent
abandon of a sacred cow on Chow
ringee avenue, Calcutta, thus engen
dering snarls in traffic and from driv
ers, and complicating the situation
just that much more.

Commencement Kissoff
Memorial is not fully used.
Since April 5, you may remember,
he campus has been under the juris
diction of the State of North Caro-

wield a pretty big and dogmatic stick

arise, some form of student car regis

rules passed can be enforced without!

Independence of Indonesian Nations
Is Now Seen as Accomplished Fact
By John Bristow
President of International Relations club
Imperialism is dead in Indonesia. The rule of the Tuan Besar (big white
master) ended on March 19, 1942 when Java fell to the Japanese. .
Contrary to American public opinion the Nationalist government of In
donesia is not striving now for minimum recognition. The Indonesians already
have a large measure of sovereignty.
Seniors Sadly Start to Sail
With Good Times Yet Rolling
They got it by simply taking it. They
now are trying to prevent their newly
won rights from being whittled down
by the returning Dutch Colonial
forces.
By the terms of the agreement be
tween the Nationalist forces and the
Dutch government, which was finally
ratified March 25, 1947, the Republic
of Indonesia was granted de facto
authority over Java, Madura and Su
matra.
Many Dutch conservative die-hards
at home, especially the Army and
Navy, do not like this agreement. It
will mean ending forever the incomes
of 15 to 25 percent of the Dutch peo
ple, which came to the mother, coun
try from her large investments in the
islands before the war.
Die-Hard Attitude
One result of this die-hard attitude
on the part of the Dutch Navy has
been the interference with Indonesian
trade. Indonesian vessels have been
sunk on sight; Chinese vessels have
been interfered with; even British
ships have been nudged out of port
before they could unload cargoes.
Despite these interferences and the
huge problems facing the new govern
ment, the Nationalists are determined
to end the old order, by which Indo
nesians were employed at starvation
wages in most cases less than $50
per year while the profits were drain
ed off into the pockets, of absentee
share-holders in Holland.,
In their struggle to maintain their
government, the Indonesians have
turned to India. This habit of looking
to India dates back to the thousand
year period up to about 1800 A.D.
when the civilized parts of Indonesia
were colonies of Hindu India, Every
day Indonesian life still retains cus
toms and institutions dating from
that occupation.
The arrival of Indian troops with
the British forces in September, 1945
-was t-Jie first contact between the two
civilizations in modern times.
Mutual sympathy was immediate
and spontaneous. Indian troops fra
ternized with the local population, like
blood brothers, sported the "Mared
ka" (freedom) colors, and openly
sympathized with the cause of the
Republic.
Rice Agreement
The most important expression of
this rediscovered sense of kinship was
the rice agreement of last July, under
which 350,000 tons of rice are being
supplied by the Republic of Indonesia
in return for textiles and other con
sumer goods. The treaty has had a
significance far above its immediate
object. '
When K. L. Punjabi, food secretary
to the government of India, arrived
to negotiate the rice treaty (which
was opposed by the Dutch govern
ment) he was greeted during his tour
of the rice-producing areas of Java as
the symbol of Indian nationalism. '
By inviting the representatives of
all nationalist parties and govern
ments, in Asia to a Pan-Asian Con
gress at Delhi in March, Indian lead
er Pandit Nehru has shown that In
dia intends to celebrate her majority
by assuming the vacant leadership
of all the new nationalist states on
her doorstep in the far east.
Whether the European, states like
it or not, independence for their for
mer colonies is an accomplished fact
In solving their seemingly insuper
able problems, Indonesia stands to
gether with the other nationalist
states of south east Asia in holdinff
off her former overlords.
