Frankie and Nellie
Once. upon a time there was a big boss man
named Unie Carol. He was a big and powerful
man, kind, amiable, and famous for his liberal
views. Now- the symbol of all of his views was
Frankie, an enormous tar baby. Almost every
time that Unie Carol's name was mentioned so
was Frankie's. Frankie was a symbol. He stood
for the rights of all men, a liberal education and
the good things in life. Frankie, also, was like
a mascot. He was carted around from place to
place to conventions, and places of activity.
On several occasions he was carted even to the
White House to inspire the President. There was
a certain quality about Frankie that inspired
people to get things done. When Frankie was
around, people had a tendency to do some deep
thinking. They thought of things, some more
worthwhile than others.
But Frankie, like all people who create think
ing and tend to make people realize their mis
takes, had some enemies. It was unfortunate,
but, nevertheless, true that some people hated
the things Frankie symbolized, and despised his
guts.
One day Frankie was placed in his usual place
of inspiration to Unie Carol when a disturbance
took , place. There was nothing extraordinary
about the disturbance. A dame named Nellie,
who was hunting for a battle, and she thought
that a little argument with Frankie would make
good conversation around the bridge table. So
she approached the tar baby, who symbolized
all of the high and liberal ideals of Unie Carol,
and began. "I hear your boss Unie Carol wears
red flannel underwear on cold days." Why a man
such as he should wear only silk union suits.
Do you deny this?"
Naturally Nellie, who was hunting for a bat
tle to relate to her bridge club that met each
week, expected Frankie to stand up for his boss,
and immediately enter into a heated discussion.
Nellie was disappointed. Frankie kept his lips
tightly closed and ignored the question.
Nellie became furious. Never before had her
questions been treated with such unconcern. Sha
gave the tar baby a hearty slap on the face. It
didn't even faze Frankie, but surprisingly
enough her hand stuck to his face, and try as
Quiet, But a Good Job
Gerrard hall was relatively quiet last night
for a Student Legislature meeting. In fact, the
pep rally at Memorial hall next door could be
heard far above Carolina's law-makers, who
when in good form can usually drown out Myrt
Sherard and his crew in a walk-away.
But even though the meeting was brief and
toned down, the Legislature passed two very
commendable bills. A special election for the
editor of the Yackety-Yack was set for October
14, a week from next Tuesday. This issue has
been strong in the minds of many students in
and out of politics and publications since Bill
Moffitt, who was elected editor last Spring on a
triple endorsement, resigned. So far, two nom
inations have already been made for the posi
tion. Art Melton will be running on the Stu
dent party ticket, and Euth Evans, Gene John
stone, and Harold Bursley have been nominated
as a board of editors by the University and Cam
pus parties.
Number two bill passing the assembly was

rangle, advises all students to lock their rooms

Sports, Editors:
hard as she could she was unable to pull her
self away. , '
' Nelliej who was seeking a battle, realized that
she would be the laughing stock of her bridge
club if they found out she had not produced
some choice gossip and had, instead, come to
play bridge with tar-stained hands. So she ask
ed her question again. Not even a sign of a
tremble was evident on Frankie's lips. So Nel
lie swung again. This time her other hand was
merged firmly in the tar.
Nellie's anger sprung from its bounds, and she
kicked first with one foot and then the other.
But before each kick she screamed the same
words, "Does he wear red flannel underwear
when it. gets cold?" Not a word, Frankie utter
ed. With one last frantic effort she butted the
tar baby in the stomach with the only free move
ment left in her body. She received no answer.
With the night s cold air the tar baby began
to become brittle and the weight of her body
was enough to break the tension of the tar. She
fell back to the ground to wander unhumiliated
back to her weekly bridge games, but clothed
with gloves on her tar-stained hands and a dread
of sitting down for fear that the tar would pre
vent her from ever rising again.
Haste Makes Blunders Too
Haste often makes more than waste! In yes
terday s editorial columns we made a terrific
blunder in regard to North Carolina's Negro
Law School. The last paragraph, containing the
blunder, was. added after the editorial had been
completed and had "jelled" overnight in our
desk. Upon rereading the edit the next after
noon, we were dissatisfied with the message, as
we quite often are.
The final paragraph was added in a great
haste and in our haste came the great blunder.
After pondering over the situation at the Uni
versity of Texas Law School our mind was
saturated with the thought of LAW SCHOOL
and LAWYER. What should have been inserted
in the place of . them was MEDICAL SCHOOL
and DOCTORS, in the final paragraph.
the last paragraph of the editorial
with these corrections, it has a very pertinent
...
a resolution, which was passed unanimously and
sent on to the Athletic council, to reinstate box
ing at Carolina. Obviously the legislators agreed
with last year's voxing team and many other
students who signed the reinstatement petition
that there is no reason for the sport to be taken
from the University's athleticagenda. One of the
biggest arguments against the ring sport was the
recommendation of an infirmary official that it
be crossed off the list because of physical dan
ger to the participants. But, as was argued in
Gerrard hall last night, new protective equip
ment has been instituted to guard against any
bodily injuries to the boxers and, besides, as
was also pointed out, football is obviously and
openly a more dangerous game than a ring
match.

Go Home Or...
Are You Gifted?
By Bob Sain
Out in California there is a
big, noisy man named Robert
Gordon Sproul and he is presi
dent of the nation's largest uni
versity: California. Aside from
getting his grinning face on the
cover of this week's Time mag
azine, Mr. Sproul is notable for
another reason. He would like
to get rid of half of the studens
j at the University of .California
in Berkley. That, you Will
agree, is a notable admission for
a university president to make.
In Time this week, Mr. Sproul
was quoted this way (he was
addressing new students: ". .
there are 10,000 too many of
you. You would all be happier
if somehow the 10,000 could go
else where."
' Mr. Sproul's opinion about
enrollment is not an unusual
one; it is gaining favor all over
the country. It is gaining favor,
we might add, with many of
the. students themselves. (They,
of course, think it's 10,000 other
people who should go away. Not
them.)
Now it is well known that it
is crowded here in Chapel Hill.
Anyone who has stood in line
at Lenoir, anyone who has lived
in an uncomfortably cluttered
room, anyone who has wonder
ed whether he couldn't learn
more if there were fewer stu
dents in class will grant that it
is too crowded here in Chapel
Hill. But who will admit that
he shouldn't be here? Not this
writer. Not you. Certainly not
the vets, who, under the GI Bill,
do most toward making the uni
versity uncomfortably crowded.
Of course it is worse in Cali
fornia. There is one class in
which there are 947 students.
But that doesn't make you feel
ary better about the situation
here-' K doen,t make standinS
i in line for miitp a Inner timp ffnr
registration, books; any the
more entertaining.
All this talk about too many
people in school will be com
pletely pointless" if you hold
with the group that says any
one is entitled to attend a uni
versity if he can afford it. It
will be pointless, also, if you
believe that every boy and girl
in the .country should be able
to flaunt a sheepskin. But' that
is not what Mr. Sproul and num
erous other educators think.
Same Old Line
Lanier's Lottery Doesn't Exist
By Chuck Hauser
Gripes used to be directed to
ward Mr. Ed Lanier constantly,
but compliments are flying his
way thick and fast these days.
JNo longer bitterly branded
"Lanier's Lottery." his nre-ro-.
; istration system installed last

For example, any man who

minutes), picked up an envelone

The blame for the only gripe
directed against registration
and it was the usual big one
should not be shouldered by Ed
Lainer. It was the fault of the
General college.
Freshmen and other new stu
dents in General college had the
usual long, slow-moving lines to
stand in, taking them as much
as five and six hours or more to
complete their registration.
The fault, we repeat, rests
upon the General college facul
ty. According to Dean Spruill's
office, 15 people were working
in their department in Woollen
gymnasium every day, includ
ing Spruill, the seven advisors,
and approximately seven other
people in the department. This
number was obviously not near
ly enough to cope with the
hundreds upon hundreds of stu
dents registering every day.
Provisions should be made for
each advisor to have as many as
four or five assistants, each
working on student's schedules
afterjb.ll, its relatively simple
to map, out the program of a

They think that there arc plen
ty of young men and " women
who are not (in Spfouls' words)
"properly qualified by native
ability, or previous training, or
even social attitude" to attend
a university.
There are, apparently, a good
ly number of young men and
women attending' colleges and
universities because there is
nothing else to do -or because
it is supposed to be a comfor
table, carefree life. That is all
well and good, as the saying
goes, if some of the students who
want to accomplish something
aren't hindered.
It is somewhat like a Cali
fornia chemistry professor says
in the Time story: "The big in
stitution must be content to be
a place of opportunity rather
than a place of compulsion. It
is no place for a student of un
formed character and uncertain
purpose. But the presence' of a
mob need not seriously interfere
with the education of the gift
ed." It is pretty hard to determine
if there are any gifted students
around here. There are, of
course, those gifted with trem
endous beer capacities and oth
ers who have a talent for shoot
ing the bull, but as for discov
ering gifted students it is best
to leave that up to gifted ad
ministrators. But it stands to reason, ac
cording to the law of averages,
that there are some gifted stu FitzgeraId Maureen O'Hara, and
dents here, gifted, that is, with Sara& AII good (and m not sure
the desire to learn not to men- lf patfk Knowies). Needless to

us who don't deserve the tag . . r earS when you
gifted are uncomfortable, the
gifted must also be uncomfor
table. Your psych prof will tell
you that that doesn't make il
any easier for them to learn.
So it all boils down to this:
there are a lot of people here
who shouldn't be here. There
dorm space and dining roon
space and classroom space that
shouldn t be taking up that
space. These people, perhaps,
should be in a vocational school
or out making a decent living.

Movie Review
How Green Was My Valley
(Editor's Note: DTH offers
this, a film critique, as a shot-in-the-dark.
It will not serve as
a guide to this particular movie,
since it played a local theatre
earlier this week. However, to
us, it seems just as sensible ,to
attempt a critical evaluation ' of
a motiqn picture as of a book.)
It is often disconcerting in a
motion picture to notice that
when there is a family involved
that few, if any, of the actors
representing members of that
family have any family resemb
lance. Sometimes the discrep
ancy is startling. I can think of
the first Deanna Durbin film
(A Thousand Men And A Girl)
where the family was as follows.'
Adolphe Menjou, father; Mischa
Auer, son; Deanna Durbin,
daughter. My only realistic con
clusion toward explaining such
an arrangement of dissimilari
ties is that the story of what
happened to bring about' such
family in-breeding would be a
story well worth telling, of not
believing. A good example of
thoughtful casting in regard to
resemblances is Life With Fath
er. I mention this in regard to
How Green Was My Valley be
cause it is one of the apparent j
weaknesses of its casting. In a
non-realistic play, perhaps, I
wouldn't balk at such a matter,
but where realism of detail is
prized, as it is in this picture,
it is worth consideration. There
are at least three members of
the Abbey Theatre (formerly
of Ireland) in the show: Barry
heaf Welsh folk speaking with
an unmistakable Irish hit.
The picture itself, which was
a winner of five academy awards
..an impressive but dubious
honor, is concerned with the

coal mining community, I
should guess, just before the
turn of the century. There is
plenty of room for widespread
sentimentality in such a story
and there is much of it, but
there are some . fine effective
scenes and some excellent choral
singing. When our hero (Roddy
MacDowell-another Welshman)
attend a neighboring school for
the first time, the strangeness,
intense aloneness," and accom
panying hostility is well pro
traved ud to the time the school
master bares his fangs. What I
mean is: as long as the camera
works independent of dialogue,
the story is telling and moving.
Some of the simplest things
in the picture are the best (and
I mean to give full praise to
John Ford for getting the most
out of a poor script). When
Angharad (Maureen O'Hara)
marries the local richboy against
her heart's best instinct, the fact
of her anxiety and pain is photo
graphed subtly and beautifully
(perhaps suggested accidentally)
by the wild flutterings of her
windblown marriage headress
and her total disinterest in her
appearance. Following this im
mediately is another thoughtful
piece of camera-work where in
the lower right foreground a
group of gossipy wedding
watchers are chatting busily
about nothing and small in the
midbackground under a frame
of overhanging leaves the sil
houette of the local minister
(Walter Pidgeon) who is in love
with Angharad paces thought
fully and sadly.
There is a lot of affable gen
tle humor tossed around to good
advantage especially by the fath
er, Mr. Morgan, (Donald Crisp)
and his wife (Sarah Allgood).
The scenes with these two are
all memorable for exemplary
performances. The sister-in-law,
Braun, (Anna Lee) is gifted
with a perfect smile for close
ups ond a very agreeable face.
