Mid-Week Student
Today we shall start a series of investigations into various
fiestructive forces at work in our Unversity. Our first victim
is the mid-week student the fellow who sticks a razor in
one pocket and a toothbrush into the other, and lights 'out of
town early Friday afternoon. He is usually back again via
car, bus, or thumb, by Sunday night, and he seldom misses
any classes; but he is still a destructive element.
He isn't usually seen as being a subersive. In fact he is
usually a decent type. But gradually and subtely, he is de
stroying the University.
You know, a University isn't just a pile of lecture rooms,
a library, and a Y Court. If the physical value of a Univer
sity were a measure of its greatness, North Carolina would
rank pretty far down on the list of great American univer
sities farther than we think it merits being.
The one thing that really measures the quality of a uni
versity is the spirit that exists in the university community.
The truly great university is one in which the sense of com
munity is strong, where there is a continual ferment of ideas,
where free communciatign aids the sustained grappling with
contemporary issues.
It is just this community to which the part-time student
does not belong. You cannot be a fully responsible citizen
of this community on a four and one-half day week.
The blame for this state of affairs does not rest on the
student himself it rests on the whole Student Body. The
leason why students leave on week-ends is that Chapel Hill
is faling to meet all their needs. It is a legitimate demand
of students that Chapel Hill should provide the recreational
facilities that they have to go home to find."
The situation has improved somewhat in recent years.
Local church groups hold square dances on week-ends, the
Rendezvous Room has met a long-standing need for a nice
juke-joint, and there are movies and occasionally concerts
to attend. Nevertheless, Chapel Hill is a sufficiently forbid
ding place on the week-ends that students leave in droves.
One- 0i the reasons for this is that students get pretty
ick of the sight of their own dorm rooms. Is itrrice to get
home, if .only to walk on a rug and see curtains on the win
dows. The Unversity should be working toward putting
recreational rooms in the dormitories. There will be, of
course, continued pressure on South Building, officials to use
such space for more profitable bedrooms. We hope they will
see the wrongness of such short-term economy.
A more important thing that the student associates with
n week-end at home, is the' private house party. There is no
possibility for the average dorm resident to hold a party on
campus and invite twenty or thirty friends, except at pro
hibitive cost. What is needed, would seem to be something
like the Vets' Club which can be furnished and available for
lcservations at a moderate cost.
None of the natural social groupings on campus is working
really effectively in supplying social outlets to its members.
The dorm and house social chairmen are usually satisfied
with putting on a few scheduled dances every year. The
Y-sponsored Freshman Council is still too new to be as
sessed yet, and the graduate club fizzled after two ter.rris of
trying to convince graduate students that they needed a
social club of their own. " Successful records have been
chalked up by all the church groups, by the vets, and espec
ially by the Cosmopolitan Club for foreign students.
There is a continuing need to stop this week-end exodus
from the Hill. We will welcome any suggestions from stu
dents as to what might be done to make Chapel Hill a de
sirable place to spend a week-end.
Let's recreate the University community at Chapel Hill.

bekveen two noted men, their ful work for his government.
In 1943 Senator Joe McCarthy went on a 30,-'
OOO-mile tour of the country, supposedly to study
the nation's housing.
A few months later, in the spring of 1949, Sen
ator McCarthy was in need of
financial aid, while Carl
Strandlund President of the
Lustron Corporation of Colum
bus, Ohio, was in need of con-'
gressional aid.
Lustron, almost wholly fi
nanced by the federal govern
ment, was having great diffi
culty launching its prefabri
cated housing venture despite
32,000,000 RFC dollars. In fact, Lustron was hav
ing such difficulty that some congressmen pro
posed an investigation.
It was about this time that Senator-McCarthy
and Lustron-Boss Strandlund developed what
amounted to a mutual-aid pact. McCarthy dash
ed off a 7,000-word article on housing, and
Strandlund paid him $10,000 for it. The article
was based on material McCarthy had obtained
in the course of his government-financed, trip,
and the rate of pay was $1.33 a word, which
would make most authors green with jealously. .
Actually, of course, the $10,000 Strandlund
paid to McCarthy was part of the RFC millions
the government had advanced Strandlund.
Significant development in the McCarthy-State
Department red hunt is the recent editorial in
the Catholic Review, official organ of the Washington-Baltimore
Archdiocese, critical of Senator
McCarthy.
Significance of the editorial lies in the fact
that though McCarthy's ever-changing charges
have been deplored by many lay catholics, his ,
original campaign was discussed and encouraged
by some of the clergy at Georgetown University
acting unofficially and as individuals. He has
also received vigorous support from the Brook
lyn Tablet and some of the former Coughlinite
Extremists which do not represent the church.
How much this latter support was inspired by '
William J. Goodwin, former coughlinite and
Christian Fronter, is problematical. Goodwin is
a regisered lobbyist and gets $25,000 a year for
promoting the cause of the Kuomintang and the
Soong dynasty in Washington. Undoubtedly he
has some influence with his old friends of the
Brooklyn Tablet.
Regardless of this, lobbyist Goodwin definite
ly has an interesting connection with Sen. Bob
Taft, and this may account for Taft's statements
which have astonished many old friends sup
porting McCarthy. Goodwin occupies an office,
while in Washington, with Paul Marshall,-formerly
a member of Taft's staff, and, during the 1948
election campaign, Goodwin was one of Taft's
political workers. .
Goodwin sold himself to Taft in 1948 on the
idea that he could round up catholic delegates,
though actually he was a constant liability. Not
realizing that Goodwin's connections with the
Coughlinite extremists were not at all represent
ative of the church, Taft sent Goodwin all over
the U. S. where he represented himself as Taft's
bosom pal, and made outrageous claims of po
litical achievements.
Factotum
A Little Heavy
Tom1 Kerr
Ta Ik Away
Staff "Playing Big Cify Editors'
.Rober! Emerson
The fourth issue of Factotum, a privately pub
lished "little magazine," went on sale yesterday.
By now it has undoubtedly sent several' to the
infirmary, some into ecstasy, and the rest it has
n't sent at all. This is unfortunate.
Factotum is just one of America's multitude of
"little magazines" that give training for aspiring
editors and expression for budding writers. It
is just one, but it is a pretty good one. Edited
by (students) O. B. Hardison and Harvey Hoeriig,
Factotum brings to its reading public the work
of young artists all over the country. And some
of this work is worth it.
There are two dominant voices in the forty
eight pages of the fourth issue. First isrthe voice
of late editor Lee Knowles, in a detailed and
scholarly article on Oedipus Rex. Mr. Knowles,
graduate student in English killed last fall, left
this essay unfinished. Factotum's editors have
completed it from notes and offer us an intelli
gent study of Oedipus Rex as the crucial play
in breaking away from the influence of the
gods on man to the tragedy in man himself.
The second dominant voice is that of editor
Hardison, whose own personality seems to over
shadow the personality of his twenty-odd con
tributers. The three short stories he has picked
deserves little note. Bob Fowler's "The Civilized
Jungle" is pointlessly "pointless,., and Harry
Karetzky's "Night in the Life of the Artist"
seems a little too loosely done. Bob Eagle's "An
Eye for an Eye" makes little pretence and sur
' vives the best for it. Mr. Eagle definately has a
satiric touch.
The poetry Mr. Hardison has chosen to fill the
belter part of the book is on the whole interest
ing. Some is a good' bit too esoteric, some is
right enjoyable, but nearly all of it lacks lyric
quality. We might credit this to Mr. Hardison's
own' temperment or to the fact that the poems
were chosen in the winter and it is now spring.
In any event the interesting work of Morton
Seif, Editor Weaver, and Paul Ramsey (to men
tion only the high spots) asks the reader to lace
up his boxing gloves, put on his topcoat and go
out to battle the elements. To rescua ua from
this are the fleshy but disciplined' verses of
Charles Eaton, the choice poems of .Albert Anion
which show an extraordinary -spontanious talent,
and the satiric nonsense of Bob Eagle.
I
The total effect is a little heavy, but if you
leave the windows open, you may remember
that there are still birds and bees.
Doubting that f had been get
ting completely honest answers
with regard to what is wrong
with the DTH and how it might
be improved, I set about in
regular J. Edgar fashion last
night and did a little wire
tapping. "
John' Sanders
I was lucky for the first one
I tuned in on was 9886 the
Carolina Forum-John Sanders
Student Tar - Heel-SDA-IRC-FPG
-ahd-ETC ' office. (It- is said,
by certain people, that Sanders'
line has a direct cut-in' on the
State Department.)
Well John the elect-prexy
was throwing figures around
and down mostly down." Fin
ally Annie B. got a sentence in
asking the Statesman what he
intended to do about the DTH
and if he really was- going to
abolish Publications B'oardl
Sanders laughed at the latter.
And then he laughed at the
DTH.
First thing he allowed he
was planning .to do was to cut
the wages of the Editor 33
and lower the pay of the other
DTH employees. "The Daily Tar
Heel has frequently manifested
a very obvious' lack of respon
sibility to the Student Body
particularly in the field of poli
tics." Guess he figures if the
Ed is poor, he'll be- honest.
The Earl of Long
Next we got Saint Charles 1
(the Earl of. Long) on Hausers
firivate line and put the ques
ion to him.
"In the past the Daily Tar.
Heel has concentrated itself on
trying to be a city newspaper,
and the result has been- entirely
too1 much wire news, and cam
pus news has suffered," Charley
says. Furthermore:" People who
were running the paper were
playing big city editors."
Then I broke in on James
Caudle's Village Apartment
phone line.-
He was free in his praise of
our sheet especially the' X
Word puzzles' and the Nuts to
the Editor Column. . He like
"good coverage of school's affairs
and an interesting sports page:"
For the first time in' history, I
got Harold Andrews to answer
the phone in B-V-P.. "Articles
of a- more informative and' less
critical nature and cartoons on
campus life," is what Harold
would like to see. He thinks it
might be good for us to publish
a series of columns on the edit
page on little-known' phases of
campus life.
In order to protect my job,
Cousin Ben Jones helped me
find another. I got hold of a fel
low out on Rosemary Street who
actually admits he voted for
the boss.
Lowell Perry declared that "I
am behind Graham Jones 100,
and regardless of the charges
that were made against him in
Sunday's paper, I have faith in
his judgment. I believe that no
staff member should monopo
lize the paper as some have.
I believe that every aspiring '
' journalist should have a chance."
The consensus of opinion so
far seems to be (by the way we
haven't been able to print all
comments.) : , 1. there has been
too much national news cover
age in the news department;
2. there hasn't been enough let
ters to the editor; 3. the Hearst
cartoon should be removed; 4.
the sports page needs to- be
broadened to cover all fields; 5.
the edit page has been too
"formal" and has been lacking
the "Carolina Spirit."
Write Away
From A Friend
Dear Graham:
Naturallv, it is against my policy to be writing
a Phi-man, but since we're both- from Winston
Salem, I feel a little justified in breaking rrty
rules just this once. Ha!
I do want to extend to you my sincere congra
tulations for the over-whelming vote of confi
dence given you last Tuesday at the polls, and
join the others in wishing for you a most suc
cessful vear as EDITOR of THE TAR HEEL.
Certainly, if there were ever a post which
required a- keen sense of campus affairs and a
need for firm convictions, it is the one which
you will soon take over. We've always been
proud in the past of our Student Party editors
fit tn alwavs take a
strictly progressive point of view on any sub-
- u u; KnAivin? some- i
jet l wneii me tiiija vn,n- -
thing of your views on many subjects, I am
sure that you will continue such tradition.
Atlanta this time of year is absolutely beauti
ful, but I miss Chapel Hill and all the things
attached thereto. And most of all, I miss the
chance to really do something for Dr. Frank in
his campaign. This is one time the opposition
must be defeated at all costs. At least, I can be
glad that I have, at least, lined up the communi
ty from where I come. Too, it helps to know
that Dad is voting and talking the right way; a
lot of people come in that store during a day's
time, and sometimes it helps to have the right
word spoken at the proper time.
"Xgain, I congratulate you, and wish for you
the best. And, of course, I'm always glad to see
the Phi rn,ake some effort to "caich up with the
Di. Ha! '
Yours. t

From A Girl
Dear Editor:
What' is your policy in regard to treatment of
co-eds in the office of the DTII? Are we being
discriminated against or do you merely feel,
under the unfiuence of medieval chivalry, that
women should be protected against the cynicism
of an newspaper office?
As citizens of UNC. with an equal voting voice
(and of course were ii not for us you would
never have been elected) we demand our equal
rights. Must we once again campaigri for woman
sufferage or will one be allowed to step into the
editor's office with other members of your loyal
and illustrious staff?
Nancy Burgess
From A Critic
Editor: ...
By now you will have become a little tired of
the arguments that we of the sports staff have
advanced. It is only natural that you should but
I, feel'' as though you should know just how I
feel about your firing Buddy Vaden. That is why
! am writing this letter.
It is not only a letter to you, but it is an open
letter to the student body and to everyone con
nected with the paper. I want them to-know also
how and where I stand on the matter.
Graham, you have not satisfied me with your
answer to the question of why Buddy Was fired.
As editor, I realize that ycu do not have to ad
vane me any reason what-so-ever as to why
you saw fit to dismiss Buddy. However, I would
like to satisfy my own cjuriousity. Vaden, in my
opinion and in the opinions of the majdrity of
the sports staff, was doing a good' job. He had
the backing of his staff and everything was be
ing run in perfect harmony. Now the staff is
divided, and this division of the staff Will cause
conflicts;- just as it would in any other walk of
life: You-should realize this, Graham, befor
you reach your final decision. .
Before the final judgement is passed, the quali
ficauons of the former spcrts editor should be
considered. Buddy Vaden has been a member.
- of the Daily Tar Heel spcrts staff for three" years
Three years is a long" time to work at a single
job and then be dismissed' as your" reward I '
think that you realize this Graham, at least I
, hope you do.
Another point of consideration is that Buddy
Vaden ett a higher paying job in the office of
Jake Wade to accept the job on the DTH He
' has faithfully stuck to this job, often late at
mght wnen the other members of the staff had
ong smce closed shep. In short he has lived" Up
to the thing, expected of a sports editor and he
has done a good job. I do not say this as a
member of the sports staff, but as a reaof
trie Daily Tar Heel. ' - ''er OI
CrVfat yU WiU COnsider these things
Graham before you reach your final decisfon-
Y ! ? SPbrtS St3ff believ them to b veS
worthwhile suggestions and we believe thlH
great injustice has been done to BuSy.
