A Job Well Done
Editor Tom Kerr haj received more than his share of kicks
Mid bruises during his tenure as eidtor of Tarnation. But
it's an old tradition around Carolina to criticize the humor
mag, and Tarnation editors have more or less come to expect
abuse, no matter how good a magazine they put out. But
despite adverse comments thoughout the year, Tarnation has
alwav3 and still is in great demand-when each issue comes
out.
The issue of Tarnation which appeared this wreek is the
last that will be put out under Kerr's managership. The Daily
''"ar Heel feels that Tom has done an excellent ob in his
ear tenure as head man on Tarnation and takes this oppor
tunity to' commend him publicly for his hard work.
All told the issues of Tarnation which have come out
under Kerr's direction have been highly satisfactory. This
week's Tarnation particularly has been well-received. More
jokes and pinups seem to have squelched the criticisms.
So Tom Kerr can go out of office with the satisfaction
of knowing that he has put out a good humor mag. From a
technical standpoint the makeup, photography, and other
mechanical a5pects were near perfect. The writing has been
pood for the most part, with the jokes picking up. Tom
Alston, Tom Wharton and other cartoonists also have done
a good job for Tarnation. -
Herb Nachjnan, new Tarnation editor, can now step into
the editorship with the layout and staff well-organized. The
DTH wishes himNthe best of luck in carrying on Kerr's fine
work.
Frankly
State Of Mind
By Frank
Now the Carolina voter can
rest a litU more at ease. The
elections ire just about over.
Spring has sprung and the fallen
have fell and only the big of
fices to be decided next Tues
day in the run-off ballot remain
for consideration.
The voter has a somewhat
better idea of the issues in
volved now than this time last
week as the lines have been
slightly better defined. It is cer
tainly surprising how much can
come out in the wash.
Tuesday's outcome can be
very important in many more
. ays than meet the eyes.
First off, of course, two of our
tnp policy-making officials will
be chosen and given the oppor
tunity to guide our "ship of
tfate" over the rough seas which
a new administration will have
tn experience. With capable stu
dent leadership to work hand-in-hand
with proven adminis
terial leadership, the University
and her sacred doctrines of lib
eralism and freedom will con
tinue to prosper.
Secondly, the political makeup
of the campus scene will very
definitely depend upon the out
come of these two major of
fices. The wrong outcome along
this line could be disasterous to
the vanquished group.
There are many aspects which
depend w holly or in part on the
outenme of this runoff. They
are too numerous to be men
tioned here, but they are never
theless important aspects which
the voUr must weigh thorough
ly and impartially.
Of course, the more impor
tant offices to bejilled in Tues
runrvfi is nt of the president
f tor Muscat body. His is a
I4g joh, a thankless job and
certainly not an easily r.btain
aMi one.
In contention for this position
are two of the bst qualified
men vw to run for a ITNC po
litical office John Sanders
(SP) and Don VanNoppen
(XT).. The choice, if roade on
a purtiy unbiased and objective
basis, will be tenacious.
Tbey ' are both experienced,

Allslon, Jr.
they are both diplomats and
they are both highly-regarded
and certainly representative of
the student body of the Univer
sity at Chapel Hill.
Sanders (considering them in
alphabetical order) has served
as attorney general undr Pres
ident Bill Mackie and, from im
partial reports of observers, has
done an excellent job. We all
know what he has done as head
of the Carolina Forum.
VanNoppen, also, has been a
top-notch student government
leader. He has served with dis
tinction as a member of the Stu
dent Council and has guided
the Senior Class with foresight
and intelligence through a year
of activities as its president.
The two men stand on impec
cable records of service to the
University and the student "body,
thus leaving the voter one al
ternative. He must view each
man and vote upon the ideas
and policy for which the candi
dates stand. In this way. and in
this way only, are we to ootain
the better of the two crndidates
as leader, policy-maker and
guiding light of student govern
ment for the ensuing year.
In th race for the editorship
of the Daily Tar Heel, we find
an identical situation facing us.
It is our duty to distinguish,
through our constitutional right
of choic tf,e man who can be?t
do the job of guiding that stu
dent publication which is de
livered to our doors in time for
our daily cup of coffee 177 days
of each school year.
The two men wh6 are seeking
this all-important post in the
coming election runoff ar?,
again in alphabetical order,
Chuck Hauser (UP) and Gra
ham Jones (TND).
Again the voter finds himself
faced with the problem of hav
ing to choose between two very
well qualified candidates with
irrevocable records in campus
publications and student gov
ernment. Hauler, a a newspaperman,
has few equals on this campus.

Eveyone seems to be taking
a positive stand for somethingt

or similar subjects.' Since thi
definitelu seems the thing to do.
we decided that ice', too, shouldl
make a stand for something
(lemonade, if the weather keepsf
up) so here it is. This is the
main plank in our platform. r
and we're ready to fight it owtt
on this line if it takes all sum-i
mer. ' r
We were taught somewhere. E
sometime, that in writing cdi-f,
torials, columns, and articles oft
this nature one should always'
refer to oneself if one must re-
fer to oneself at all, in an.im-1
personal maner, or in the first,
person plural. We suppose that
the reason for this is to lend
weight to our opinions and to
fool you into thinking that we
outnumber you ten to one, are
completely in agreement with
ourselves, and are bigger than
ou are anyhow so you ought
We can imagine you imagin
ing us all crowding around a
typewriter and playing the
thing in close harmony. As
matter of fact by the time we
have beat around the bush and
made vague refrences to "the
author," "your reporter," "yours
truly," etc., we do begin to feel
a litle crowded sitting in just
one seat, and we sometimes feel
that if we don't get away from
such formal terms we'll never
get to know ourselves at all.
The time has come for the
public to be enlightened.
Don't be fooled any longer.
We're going to let you in on
the secrei. This "we" stuff
is a bunch of stuff, and we is
only one person whose opir
ion is usually no better tha i
yours, and in the case of this
author, is often not agree
with. (Please excuse tre
vague reference tp me, and
the preposition I ended, the
sentence with.)
If writers insist upon hidinj
behind their 'we's" they migh'
at least use a singular verb anc
quit trying to pull the wool ovei
our eyes. We is willing ;o adopt
the practice.
Some unidentified "we" once
said that statistics prove that
the word "I" is used more in
conversation than any other
word in the EngUsh language
Then why all this modesty
about using it?
Wasn't it Mark Twain who
said that only royalty, editors,
and people with tape worms
have the right to use the edi
torial "we". Having no claim
to any of these distinctions, 1
hereby throw off the chains o
custom and declare that from
now on I'm going to use "I".
There, I said it and I'm glad,
Writers of the world (without
tape worms) unite! All in favor
say "I".
tor of the DTH speaks for itself.
He has served since fall as
chairman of the Publications
Board, and. although on the re
ceiving end of recent blasts at
the Board, has served with emi
nence. The charges, however,
were refuted by the PB.
Jones, conversely, is a states
man, as well as a journalist. As
a statesman. Graham has few
peers. His record of service to
the Daily Tar Heel, the Phi As
sembly, the Student Legislature
and a host of other organiza
tions is postively above re
proach. He has worked closely
with papers here on the campus
and is unique in being both a
statesman and journalist.
Once again, the choice lies in
the question of policy. . If the
voter fails to make his distinc
tion along these lines, we shall
fail to elect the man for the job.
We sincerely, hope that the
state of mind of each voter on
the issues at hand is not one of
confusion, but rather one of an
understanding of all involved.
We columnists have our own
ideas as to which man should
get the job, but it i& not our
place to tell you, the voter, how
to vote, but rather to present
you with the facts. Your place
is to vote, without fail, and give
the University the kind of lead
ership from which all may benefit.

Newman Recital Excellent
Dr. William S. " Newman,
chairman of . instruction in pi
ano in Hill Hall, gave his an
nual recitaMhere oh Tuesday
evening. '
The audience was unusually
large because Dr. Newman's
programs steer clear of the trite
or more familiar literature for
his instrument, and he enjoys .
exposing his listeners to the
new and unfamiliar.
This was the case Tuesday
evening when he performed
three works -seldom : heard
around here: Bach's Sonata in
D Minor for Clavier, the Second
Sonata of the .. contemporary
American Arthur Shepherd,
and Beethovtu's .rammoth ,-,
Grosse Sonata fur das Hammer- :
Klavier.
Since musicians all over the
world are commemorating
the bi-centenary of Bach's
Mfi. Dr. Newman . opened
the retllal with one of the
sonatas that composer "ar
ranged" for clavier. It was
originally written i'or unac
companied violin one of six
sonatas he wrote in this form
and it is in strict Baroque

ations including a triple canon.
The piece, which concludes
with a brisk toccata, was .well
received by. the audience.
It is difficult to know just
what to say after hearing a
"live" performance of the Hammer-Clavier
Sonata for the first ,
time. The scope, length and the
matic content of the work is
so engrossing that it really re
quires several thoughtful and
careful listenings to even
scratch the surface. Beethoven
finished -the sonata in l18, Jess
than 10 years before his death,
and at a time when he was also
preparing the Ninth Symphony.
The sonata is one of his
biggest works and one of the
most important in all piano
music, and requires slightly
less than 40 minutes to play.
There is nothing happy err
bright about it. At the rime
he was becoming aware of his
separation from the rest of
the world by deafness and
this sonata represents an im
portant stage in that change
from one world to another.
There is a scherzo for a sec
ond movement but even it, is
somber and fitful.
The Hammer-Klavier is em
braced by intellectual musicians
and shunned by many :erform
ers for two reasons: its overall
length, and the giant 10-minute
fuge in the last section. Dr.
Newman was able to make the
audience forget the actual
length of the work, and the
final fuge was performed with
such precision and bravura that
. he was recalled to . the stage
thres times to acknowledge tht
applause.
Dr. Newman, who just, re
cently returned to Chapel Hill
from a highly successful tour oi
New England' colleges and cit
ies, is a specialist in the field, ot
the sonata. He has collected
over 3,000 of them and is now
at work preparing a history of
the Sonata Idea. His most re
cent book is called The Pianist's
Problems. It will soon be pub
lished in England.

MERRY-GO-ROUND
WASHINGTON There's
more than meets the eye behind
the mysterious maneuvering to
block the Kefauver resolution
for an investigation of organ
ized crime and gambling in the
TJ.S.A. It is now April. The Ke
fauver investigation was first
proposed- in January. Yet it
hasn't even passed the Senate.
Officially, the delay is part of
usual Senate routine the ques
tion of which, committee shall
investigate what, etc. ,
But behind the question of
which Senator shall do the
crime-gamJbling investigating,
some powerful forces are at
work which don't want any
investigation, at all. Senator
Kefauver. himself, has had all
sorts of - personal pressure
brought by friends he never
dreamed wer close to the
gamblers asking him to side
track his probe, Kefauver is
standing pat, though one or
two of his colleagues may not
be so scrupulous.
Meanwhile more amazing
revelations have come to light
in the second most populous
state . in- the union,' California,
where law enforcement "is in
the hands of Attorney General
Fred Howser, notorious for his
friendship with, the gamblers.
It has now beefi revealed by
the California Crime Commis
sion that one of Howser's ex
aides, George . Rochester, re
ceived around $400 from the Al
,Capone of California, Jack
Dragna, at the very time Drag
na's ' racing news service was
under attack.
Rochester, friend and former
aide of Attorney General How
ser, was in charge of a commit-,
tee investigating loan compan
ies v which whitewashed the
Guaranty Finance Company.
Despite this, it was later indict
ed ; by a Los . Angeles, County
Grand Jury- independent of
Howser,, as being . a collection
agency for gamblers.
According to Warren Olney,
counsel of the California Crime
Commission, ; Howser's office
exerted "inexplicable interven
tion" on behalf of the Guaranty
Finance Corporation at the very
same time George Rochester,
Howser's ex-aide, was receiving
payments from California
gambling czar Jack Dragna.
" These : are some of the
amazing developments which
not only would be scrutinized
but might induce federal leg
islation if Senator Kefauv
er' $ kicked around resolution
ever passes the Senate.
During ; the debate over , the
Natural Gas Bill, the Senate
press gallery received a tele
phone Inquiry.
"What's the pending business
in the Senate?" requested the
voice,
"Gas,' barked press attendant
Del Malgkie.
"I- know," agreed the voice,
"but what bill are they taking

1 Biggest new? put of the
Hague meeting of the North
Atlantic Pact was that Brit
ish War Minister John

to Europeans, but not to the
American public, thanks to
exclusive disclosures in the

"scatter joiner" variety?'
An example of this would be
the Tar Heel editorship; a time
consuming and highly special
ized job which in my opinion
deserves the nominal monetary
stipend thus given for it. This
job (as must be others) is sure
ly a pull in . itself. In its drain
of time and energy, 1 am sur
prised that there is enough of
either left to enable a student
to rzrry on his Currieular work.
Further, a Awil-seasoned Tar
Heel editor is invaluable to the
campus.

the ; rule and also consider

how the N.A.M. staged a meet
ing in New York at which Lem

General Electric, outlined plans
to win labor votes in the next
election through slips in pay
envelopes and other employee
promotion.
Now the N.A.M. has prepared
several hundred letters, sent to
editors, blasting this column.
Though the letters are identical,
they are signed by different
names in each city, thus giving
them the appearance of a spon
taneous letter - writing cam

the letter was signed by Lan

by J. J. Bieber; in Newark, N.J.,
by M. B. Doyle; and in Beaver

all the letters were exactly the
