CHUCK HA USER ZANE ROBBINS Night Editors: News Andy Taylor, Sporiaitirvey, Riich Criminals At Large Why is it that some folks think paint is a substitute for school spirit? ' , . VTv V . After more than three years, of ' paintl ess. relations be tween UNC and State College, the eqeer sport cropped up again last week. The two schools will, foot UKejill that re moving the sticky stuff will ,' incur," of v. course and the, cul prits, if you please, will ' go iiri;6nddte3 ai?3- rokmat large. Now, when we were in high school, such things as; build ing - painting, cropping hakv'' soaping windoWs, s and other misguided efforts at displaying one's love of . the old alma mater were consider cricket.' Y!ou ' see,' we were at a very early age then, and sometimes we even slashed theater seats, turned over garbage ' cans and r. threw , rocks at old ladies. Evidently some of us haven't graduated froni high school. If the vandals haven't been shamed into ' stopping such shenanigans by our first observation, look at it this way. It had apparently taken three to five years - to get Carolina and State students to look upon vandalism 'as vandalism, not as "college spirit." Last weekend's incidents set such thought back. A freshman class,. still fresh from hi h school, where such stuff was considered ' immature but condonable, could easily get the idea that such is the proper thing, and it might take five more years to reach iheppint we had reached before last weekend. For that matter, any of those, inclined toward such costly foolishness might think, public opinion has changed, and we would be faced with a situation that five years ago was a major headache. ' ' . i ' ' -- : ' Public opinion hasn't chaneed; Neither, has the immature character of such displays.; UNC tstudeiis may have to' set an example, however. Our Bell Tower got its paint bath first this time. Five years ago it was Duke students who started the paint craze. It is going to take real maturity on the part of UNC students, whether vandally. inclined or not, not to fight childishness with childishness and start a costly cycle that proves nothing but our own youngness. . The Daily Tar Heel is sure that students here are going to make good under such a challenge. Pride, of school, of per sonal character, and reasonable maturity have always been characteristic of Carolina students. '- ;l RP Prohibit Car 0imershiD? The distinguished Mr. Louis Graves, editor of The Chapel Hill Weekly, suggests editorially that students should be prohibited from owning cars on. campus. Arid Mr. Graves . tells us his reason for such a stand. He says -the present campus traffic regulations only serve to. "move cars from one place to another, from the campus to the village streets, which are already dangerously .overcrowded." The motive behind the proposal, ; from Graves' point of vie w,is obviously selfish. Naturally Chapel Hill is overcrowd ed with automobiles. This is 1950, not 1900, and. the traffic situation, like everything else here, Has changed considerably. Unfortunately, some townspeople apparently wish to con tinue living in an age and atmosphere 50 years out of date. The fact must be faced that Chapel Hill is no longer a "village," as Graves refers to it. It is a good-sized town, and a town that exists only because of the thousands of students who attend the University. . .'-. "; '. v' V ''.';'- The Weekly editor continues "What would: really do some good would be for the Uhiyersity to have rules limiting the possession of cars by ! students. - It has been suggested that a start be made by forbidding freshmen and sophomores to have cars and that the prohibition be extended in a year or so to the whole student body." To be frank, there simply are not enough activities or amusements on the campus or in the town to keep 7,000 stu dents busy in their spare time. There is not enough space in which to keep them busy if the activities were available. An example of this is the weekend exodus of a great many student car-owners who go home or elsewhere. Those who remain here usually prefer to head for any one of several night spots just outside of town rather than fiht the crowds downtown and in the Rendezvous Room; Conditions are ob viously overcrowded now for earless students; why make them more so? : . ',' The campus parking situation at present is bad. Con struction proiects on the former Memorial Hall parking lot and other campus lots have knocked out several hundred parking spaces. To cope with the situation, student : parking on campus has been limited to handicapped students only, ard the remainder of the space is being used by faculty and staff. ' . , If students abide by the parking regulations recommend ed bv their student representatives on the Traffic, and Safe ty Committee, we need have no fear of any administration or Trust p action to prohibit students from bringing their cars to school with them. . , .-, On the other hand, if students chronically violate the reg ulations their own representatives have -appro'vfd for the good of all, they may have good reason to look forward to such drastic action as Graves proposes. May we quote one more passage ; from GVaves' editorial: "Of course there would have to bfe exceptions (to the no-car-rule) ; for physically handicapped students, fqr example .1 " . Thanks, Mr. Graves, that's darned white of youV .rrjCH NONPLUS by Harry Snook A Bronx for, women. In the plural, that's to say. Just "give me mine one" ar a time, with each. There you have a man-sized, sport. And the .only ,places for a bunched gathering of men ate at the front line and in a bur lesque theater. The open houses in the coed dorms last , Wednesday night lacked a certain appeal. Spencer was the .first disap pointment. Nothing but men. The women -hadn't appeared that early, which was only fif teen minutes after the party was supposed to have begun. From then on I took the pre caution of looking through the window before entering. Saved a lot of footwork. - At Alderman the odds were 7 to four. Any man, however wild a gambler, would shy clear of those odds. ' Paydirt at Mclver. Later in the evening and a generous sprinkling of feminine forms. But too damn many men. Al ways too many men, I should have enrolled - at Woman's College. There were a few Ava Gard ners, Betty Grables and even some Marie Wilsons. Some were of the type you might file under "miscellaneous." I was able to single out a few girls at Mclver, in addition to filling up on punch. Speaking of punch, mine came from the bowl over which the blonde, volatile Pat Bowie was mistress. Pat's punch is terrific, and you can take that either way. The dark, extremely attrac tive Peggy Wood seemed to give all the men a nice tingle with her big smile and warm hand. I met her twice. . One girl remarked that , it was her last free night until the end of school. Five eager fresh man were pushing closeI join ed them. She was Liz Dockery, a wide-awake lass from Strat ford and Greensboro, Jane Goodman of Long. Is land was thoroughly thrilled with Carolina. Even though a junior, she said she felt like a "freshman all over again.? But there were too many people, opportunity for further ing an acquaintance too limited and the night was too hot- Some of the men showed their good sense and ill taste by arriving in rolled -up shirt sleeves. They should have been thrown out. I wore a coat. "You kiVow, That Cold War Wasn't So Bad." " PRTr ' ill The Editor's Mailbo 4 . Editor; : , . . As a senior this fall, I am faced with a strange and miserable problem, the like of which I never believed would involve myself or any of -my friends. . ' T am '21 'years- old and a normal, not overly-eager, perfectly typical coed. My past year at this University has been-filled with the usual . academic requirements and electives, a sensible . amount "of time. spent in activities of my choice, end a more than absolutely " necessary number of . credits toward a Ph.D. in campusology and night, life. Frankly, I've had a wonderful time! Now the horrible realization has struck me. There ate. very few veterans of the' unmarried variety which used to be so plenti ful. , No longer do the new students hold any attraction for me - or . my friends. They're too young. As the situation how stands, even the 21.iy.ear-.olds are picked over and few are left available. What, with the world in such a state, is a 21-year-old college girl to do? When I started my college career, no thought of marriage enter ed my mind. I wanted my degree and the privilege of "dating around." Now I am leaving the University in June and although I shall have my sought-after degree, I shall be minus the onetthing so many of my peers have taken with them a man. This,; myf' last year, I only wish all the available of-age men would get on the ball. You will notice I have asked my name to be withheld. Perhaps it seems logical since I am so actively interested in any response this might bring. However, I prefer to remain anonymous with : re gard to the criticism this outlook may- promote from some-.who may feel differently. ' , I merely want to "date around." r : , College Senior Grime Doesn't Pays'. Tar Heel at Large b ... 35 On Campus There was the average num ber of inebriates at Saturday's game, but three coat-and-tied gentlemen were a little unusual. With almost sober fore thought, they awaited the crowd's departure before ready ing themselves to leave. Each decided to help the other down the long aisle of the temporary stands. Ultimately, they all fell down. Then they mounted one of the concrete parapets. They pro ceeded to debate the best way to get out with the least damage. At a particularly argumentative point, one jostled another and all three tumbled backwards and downward for nearly six feet. Apparently, no one was in jured. When we left, they still were sprawled atop one another. And vehemently arguing. About the price of Scotch in " relation to Bourbon. A history professor wishing to acquaint his students with the nature of his course " opened his first lecture .with this state ment: "I don't know what you've heard about this course, but most of it isn't true. Besides, I don't like people who use that kind of language." University officials say , the current expansion of military forces will probably have little effect on enrollment, but frater nity members are still wonder ing how a minority of actives is going to rule ' a majority of pledges. - The word "hoarder" has a nasty sound and a hasty connotation,' when somebody else is doing it, but hoarding is a very human habit, and I do not see how you can get awfully indignant about it. ' - "' '' " "Hoarding" in a sense, is a dirty word for thrift, for selfish providence, 'for "looking ahead 'to the future. One of .the celebrated fables con cerned j the ant and the grasshopper. The ant stacked it awayj; the grasshoper' blew his wad -on ''fun and . games. The squirrel is a hoarder he merrily gathers his nuts in May, and stashes them in the deep freeze against' a tough winter. Let me say that I am not 'a1 hoarder, since I never seem to accumulate enbugh 'ready cash to place me actively in the hoarding business. I be lieve we are fresh out of sugar' at the moment; the new tires are clamped on the car, after 30,000 miles on the original set, and the liquor trove is mighty skimpyNothing left butrneager gin. But my honest inclination today is to go out and buy up a flock of staples-a few bales of cig arettes, a ton or sa of sugar, a hamper, of nylons for mama and a reserve set of-tixes. If I could afford to stockpile a little nourishing whiskey, against the recurring ague, I would do it, because I am in no sense a noble man. And the reason I am not a noble man, by definition is largely due to disillusionment at the hands , of my masters in Washington. The way they run it, with controls on this, and no con trols on that, I don't know where I am or what I can believe. I own a set of frazzled principles, left over from the last war, during which I was blissfully overseas .and therefore suffered no civilian short ages. Cigarettes: I smo'ked the Navy sold them to me for 60 cents a carton. Red meat I ate. Gas olineand. tires and transport were kindly fur nished by Uncle Sam. , But I . remember that the homeside soap chips shortage assumed proportions which over shadowed the second front, and that ladies used to hurl each other through shopwindows to get their dainty paws on a pair of nylons. There was heavy traffic in gasoline coupons and cig arettes. The steak-easy flourished like the old time speak-easy. Pleasant living lurked under the counter, and the memory of it all .is still mighty green in the civilian mind. I personally will not hoard much. I will not turn down a case of Scotch, for instance, for I am not out of my mind. I think that panic buying is wrong and hurtful to the mass, since it creates unnecessary -shortages and finally screams for control. But I do not find fault with the people who do it. . We are beset today with fresh credit struc tures and a new list of controllable commidities. It is half-hearted restriction, with elastic limits and escape hatches for the wise guys. We wist fully ask the people not to drive up prices, not to clamor for heavy wage increases, but we define no real barriers against infiltration and exploi tation. We put off the tough excess profits bill. We mumble of guns and butter, with no solid prediction that we will get either, both or neither.' It seems we are too snug to the last war ,to enter in "the economic college spirit of this one, as we wholeheartedly did in the last one. This is understandable. We suffered a deep drouth of alarm clocks and stockings; of cars and houses; of steaks and catsup and pepper and beer and booze and airplane reservations. We have observed the government's hoarding in the artificial bolstering of farm prices, the lavish squandering of our own funds abroad, . and all the little funny-businesses in Washing ton funny-businesses which have milked the till f an-i delivered precious little in the way of results. ... '" ' : I think a deep distrust in the wisdom and probity of our peers has been planted, and it is hard to blame the people, if, today, they crowd the grocery store and flood the department store and stack their bathrooms full of tires which will probably rot before they use them.. You de- plore the trend, but you understand it. We have been subject to so many pretty slogans that suspicion of all save bread in the pantry is rife among the yeomanry. Some producers insist on their writers, choosing a movie thrill er title which gives the fans a thrill and at the same time has some connection with the flick er in question. For -all we know, so did the producer of "711 Ocean Drive." But though there were quite a few residences flashed on the screen, we were at a loss as to which one was "711." We let it . go, however. One of them must have been the joint in question. Filmed under "police protec tion" (the trailer said), "711" starred Edmond O'Brien in the role of Mai Granger, an honest telephone company electronics expert who finds there is more money in hooking up bookie telegraph line connections than in giving people . wrong num bers; " " ' ' Co-starred was Joanne Dru, a married woman by name of Gay Mason who cannot take her eyes off the round-shouldered O'Brien. It all worked out in the endhowever, O'Brien, here after called Granger, decided her husband, Larry Mason, was in the way, as what husband shouldn't be, and had him rub bed out. There's more sex interest. Granger sets his sights on a girl named Trudy Marshall, whose real-life name we'll never know because of the '-' absence of a cast of characters."' The villain appears in the per son of Karl Stevens, played by Otto Kruger, head -'of "a .'large eastern syndicate.' Stevens de cides to move in on Granger, and does. Granger discovers through his now-discarded-but-still-true Trudy that instead cf the 50-50 deal he should be''f et ting, actually there's only 23 per cent coming to him. Well, it all ends after another murder and a breath-taking run over, under and inside the 'great Boulder Dam. Why the dam scene was put in the movie, we don't know. Anyway, Gay Ma son is captured, Granger is shot down, the Stevens syndicate has clever lawyers and continues to function, and the picture ends. There's a moral given at the end: Stay away frori bookies and don't patronize the syndi cated .wire services . operating illegally from race tracks.' ; , We thought beforehand the show was one of those sleeper affairs. Our hunch was proved correct when our date , do2d off during a love scene. But go on over to the Criterion Thea ter in Durham this week and give it a chance. You may give up the horses. .;': -DLI is p?i6 n 23 24 P25 U 27 jzJjL' So" -"3l 35 W "35 34 H?U" 41 42 43 j? 44 A 47 ""48 EZZZiEZZl!lZ 53 54 55 I I I 222 I I ' I I Mus ic vs Base a by Wink Locklair The radio in the main lounge of Graham Mem orial was cut off Sunday afternoon during the seventh inning of the ball game from New York so that Bobby Morris, a . freshman in the Uni versity, could get started on his piano recital which had been scheduled for 4 o'clock. Since the Yankees were leading the Red Sox 6-2, and since apparently, a number of peopie had come down to hear young Morris play, cut ting off the radio didn't disturb the sports fans too much. . " '. Mf. Morris was given no formal introduction to the audience. He walked over to the piano, announced who he was, and immadiately launch ed . into what amounted to the entire score of "South Pacific." .Next came some tunes from "Kiss Me, Kate," followed a couple of songs featured in "Annie Get Youjr Gun." This was a request program and somebody asked for "Pomp and Ckcunjnce" by Sir Ed-- ward Elsar.
