Attitudes Need Changing The reactions to our presentation of views on the campus court problem, especially those on needed reforms in the Men's Honor Council, seem to indicate that there is some thing out of whack with the understanding between those who should be in the forefront of the battle for court reform. All are in singular agreement on exactly what the court is and what it should be. The reasoning of all those concern ed on these points is sound. As Council chairman Horace Stacy, speaking for the council. in a recent article on this, page said, "Contrary to popular belief, the student judici aries are not set up to function in the manner one normally expects to find in the local police and superior courts. This practice was simply not meant to be, and as long as the judiciaries f?el two responsibilities, as we do, (to the Campus and Honor Codes and to the individual), our student courts cannot and do not intend to operate like a regular court." The campus courts operate under a unique la w"system" the Honor and Campus Codes based on an individual's honor. No other system is even worthy of consideration, and all agree that the system is the best. None would have it any other ways The Honor Code is as simple a statement of what everyone s ideal in life should be as could be found anywhere. But other than agreeing on the basic principles of the codes under which our campus courts operate, those in the know about the courts and their problems have little ground. Those on the council are all for the continuance of the status quo. They seem to resent outside suggestion, whether it be good or bad, and seem ,to refuse to try to deal with those persons not on the council. We grant them that they being immediately concerned with the workings of the coun cil as it now exists, have a right to be against any sweeping change. Such a change or changes , would throw them behind in their work, blast away all their efforts at learning the intri cacies of the council as it is now constituted, and leave them Open to criticism if they didn't immediately catch on to a new system whose institution or planning they may have not known before it was thrust upon them. On the other hand, those outside the Council who have a knowledge of the' court, and who would be the most useful at remedying kinks in the court setup, seem to be unwilling to sit down to a discussion of the problems without bringing forth some plan that would require sweeping change, and 'then refuse to compromise, or they simply refuse to sit down to a discussion without having it understood, that if their ideas aren't adopted, they will not discuss the matter. A com mittee appointed by President John Sanders last spring has ceased to exist because of this situation. And still there are some reforms that would greatly fa cilitate the organization and effectiveness of the council. A better,, way of collecting information on cases, a simpler form of procedures not sweepingly different from the present, but at least enough so that those on the Council and those who have been on the Council can at least agree on what it is and an improved list of precedents for Council members to follow are still things that should be agreed upon. Several plans have come forward. Most of them contain at least the recommendation that should be adopted, either in its presented form or modified. Their total effect would not be one of sweeping change, but of greater effectiveness. Stu dents should acquaint themselves with the many problems and solutions of the Council situation. The DTH will try to present such material as fully as it can. But at the root of all the trouble is the situation that seems to exist between those groups and individuals who are directly concerned or have some direct concern with the court and its' problems. They should change their atitudes for the betterment of the council, student government and the student body itself. RP Morons NONPLUS by Harry Snook If you judge by its under graduate school, Carolina is a second-rate "university. , Carolina's reputation does not place it among the foremost ed 'ucational institutions : in the country. And UNC rates a poor second even in North Carolina. . Few people know it, but grad uate students from; Carolina usually experience great diffi-, culty' upon entering one of the nation's better universities. On the other hand, graduate stu dents from the .better schocls make an excellent showing here. This does not mean that Car olina's graduate school is such a crip that anyone can get through it. The one thing that Carolina does have is a fine ' graduate school. The reputation for providing excellent courses under capable instruction ha.; drawn graduate students from all over the United States and from many foreign countries. Graduates from other schools have an easier time here be cause they have a better foun dation for advanced study. Antf Carolina's graduates have trouble elsewhere because they are not so well prepared for additional learning. Unfortunately, our undergrad uate school has been a stcp-ch ild to the graduate school for years. North Carolinians erroneously associate the national reputa tion of the graduate school with the entire university. To be sure, we attract many undergrads from out of state. They come because rates are low, our football team is good and the variety of extra-curricular activities is appealing. South Building is to blame for allowing too much emphasis to be placed on graduate work and neglecting the undergrad uate school. This mistaken em phasis is costly to the state's tax-payers and students. Most North Carolinians be lieve their money is used pri marily to give their sons ar.d daughters a basic college educa tion. But it's not. And t most of the sons and daughters believe Carolina gives them a first class four-year course,. But it doesn't. There's nothing wrong with advanced study in itself. But there is grave danger in a sit uation that promotes advanced study for a few and sacrifices the fundamental education that most of us are after. The faculty has contributed to the situation. The tradition of seniority allows top professors 1o limit their attention to the upper students. General College courses are left to inexperienced instructors who. in many cases, have little concern for their stu dents and even less ability. Conscientious students and faculty members believe that the first year or two is the most if important stage of academic de velopment. It is during General College, for example, that atti tudes and habits relating to study are formed. The-. yoiing students who a?,e exposed to poorly planned coures and bungling instructors have two strikes against them for the rest of their stay at Carolina. For the best interests of our state, our school and ourselves, the emphasis must be shifted back to undergraduate work. Both curricula and instruction must be mere than mere second thought. An A.B. or a B.S. from Car olina could mean something. n There are times when some of us wonder about the homes from which some of our young men of college and high school age come. Wej wonder what they are doing in school. They behave like morons. , . Thursday night, an automobile was traveling at a mod erate rate along the "old" Durham-Chapel Hill. road, between Durham and Hope Valley. . ; ' i ' Two or three cars passed, ;the occupants of the first car taking little note, naturally; but suddenly, a firecracker ex ploded between the legs of the driver. He managed to bring the car to a stop safely. The smoul dering fire was beaten out and he hurried to the hospital. He was treated and has been compelled to take antitetanus "shots." He was not seriously injured; but he, or one of his passengers, might have been killed. However, some strangely warped person thought he was having fun. He may not have been a young man, but the odds are that he was. It becomes apparent, sometimes, why our ; jails and asylums are overflowing. The Durham Sun. On CarnpiJ s Never Mind About The Rain Letting Up. r : It Tar Heel At Large by Robert Rua, -35 We were talking show business, this television guy and this movie mogul. To put it frankly, they were talking and I was listening. They were arguing the raids of one medium on the other. The old saws about radio versus movie, about movie versus legitimate theater, and about video versus everything. It was pointed out that the movies never slew the live theater. It was pointed out that radio never killed the movies. It was shown that TV ' has not as yet, killed either movie, radio or the speaking stage. Each, it seems, has skimmed some sucker, profits off the top and has kept goin3 despite Cassandra howls. The movies are verging on a three-dimensional treatment that will give depth and breathing reality to pictures beyond your dreams of the talking screen. TV, hopelessly enmeshed in a wrangle over the adaption of color, must neces sarily develop a similar opponent. It will not all be Hopaong Cassidy and puppets. Stage shows will ever exist, since live meat as - a medium is a cinch to remain more permanently attractive than the best illusion. Radio will keep on serving a section of the population that needs to hear without looking; to learn without reading. On the same hook you will never lick the printed word, because in our generation and all the others before the retention of the candes cent phrase is satisfactory beyond the fleet ing shadows. What she simmers down to is that all the communicative methods must improve. The book business is off, for instance, as a result of com . petition from television and radio and magazine and movie and newspaper. Books have got to be written better or they won't sell much. Except freaks. Television must emerge from mediocrity, and x from ineptness, and from cheapness, or - its l.ovelty will wither and its commercial attrac tiveness spread itself among the competitors. On the cinema side, the mass output of canned entertainment has also got to get better. You can get all the so-so entertainment you need today out of a television set, for free. The written word will never have to worry overmuch, since it is the skeletal structure of all t"he other competing arts. Somebody's got to put them words down on paper or the op position can't function. I figure everybody will get along under tomorrow's heavy stress of expression but they will probably have to work harder and produce better. Nobody will make as much money. Nobody will own a monopoly of the customer's devotion. The customer will hnve a cultural suner-mar-ket to choose from, vnd quality finally will becoine the criterion of his purchase. This n' That by Bill Buchan of ihe Jacksonville News and Views Puzzled when he overheard a senior rehearsing a nevvly-ac- quired vocabulary of eicmen ' tary Grnun ( phrases, a naive freshman scoffed ut the upper .classman's enrollment in a freshmun language course. The froth's curiosity was cur tailed and his ridicule squelch ed, however, when the senior displayed mail from Uncle Sam indicating immediate intentions of changing his address, and "abolishing his civilian classifi cation. Maybe we should start a course in elementary Korean. (Bill Buchan, autlior of the jollotvhig ipicce, ir, a former Daily Tar Heel columnist and stuff member who is at iprezent working for Publisher Billy Arthur, a local alumnus, in Jacksonville, N. C. Incidentally, the P.P.S. at the end of ihe column reached us through Western Union laic Saturday evening. Ed) Dear Chuck: 1 You've requested a column and inasmuch as I "don't know nothing" to write about, it will have to take the shape of a letter. First of all, 'twas all I could do to sit down here in Jack sonville and let that State-Carolina game take place in Kenan stadium without my formal per mission from somewhere behind the goal posts. However, Billy Arthur and I managed to live through it, courtesy of that modern invention called the radio. I don't know what if anything down here will interest you except that we're the only news paper in the world that gives a whoop about Onslow Countv. A couple of Jacksonville boys are up there this year. One, Harold Glietz, in a f re "hman. I suppose I ought to tell you abot Ernice. A" i'ou should remember I've had Willnu" Am 'hereon with me for a. long time. Now, I've alrc pcquired Bern ice and thev fi?ht like cats and dog", all te time. With Wilbur it's a case of 3alourv. With Bernice its a case of jir;t hating all iipi in General." I ndontod her about 'wo norths a nn r.nd hive fnv'ni her a t'te of fin living. Befo rhe hpd tn pood fortune of meeting m, she hrt th" dull dutv of moderns? hats in a stop win dow down town. She sweats, howwr, (hat be ved o pracp th counter of Sak" Fifth Avenue, but I'm inclined to doubt that storv.. Fnthpr-' more, she tells me that, she got to Jnvvilie by way of marriage to a Marine captain but found out he was unfaithful when she got down here and so she left him and went back to modeling. I'm living in a motor court here facing the hiuvv'ciy and Bernice sits in my window and wutcheo the cars go by. Tue other night, two guys were staying in the cabin next aoor. Bernice must have winked at them or something,, because when they got in. their cabin, I heard one of them say to tne other: "Say, did you see that blende looking out the window next door?" "Yeah, a pretty sharp number." "Wonder if she's alone? Let's walk back by." So help me, that happened. But when they came out of their cabin I put the Venetian blinds down. They're probably still wondering who she was. I'm planning to come up Tor the Wake Forest game and I'm trying to figure out how to carry Bernice. I took her to a be:.ch .party at W.'ights ville in Augu-.t because the folks demanded that I bring a date. I had to go on the bus and foi iome rea-on people stared, at me ju.:t because I was cai rying a head around in my arms. I have n't been nble to figure out why yet. She really had a wonderful time at the beach, but wouldn't go in swimming because I didn't buy her a b.ithing suit. .Have you ever tried to buy a woman' bathing suit for a woman who has no body? This is about the end. I don't know whether this is a column or not, but maybe it will do. Bill Buchan P 5. I'm either going to bea very poor or very rich boy next week. I hav seven bets, Carolina "and 14 noinis. Mv bos says I haven't been away from Chapel Hill long enough if I take bets like that. I'm afraid he is right. b.b. P.P.S. Ha. I ain't a poor man. I'm a rich man. Wonderful moral victory. m i i - r a a I Why Not Fight It All The Way? Editor: In no way can we see why we should avoid or he afraid of i!riy publicity involved by taking a case of a Negro's admission tu ti,e Law School all the way to the Supreme Court. Why not fight ih thing as" far as possible? Who knows, the court may rule in favor of the State, for a change. Surely this question is worth more than a halfhearted attempt and we can get the final decision from the Supreme Court only. It's worth a try. . In expressing traditionally Southern, conservative views, V9 hope this necessitates no -great furore from campus liberals. They otten forget that.mr.ny, many sincere person can and do believe as we do. . Myron C. Banks , William B. Wood Cosmopolitan Club Open To All Editor; - " I would appreciate the courtesy of your column to say a tow words regarding the Cosmopolitan Club. It seems that there has been a little misunderstanding in scire quarters regarding membership of our club, and I wish to stress that membership is completely open to all who are interested in our aims and activities. Until Sunday there was a limitation on the American membership to obviate the possibility of the club's being flooded by native Americans and thus losing its distinctive ness. However at Sunday's- meeting an overwhelming majority ,f the members decided that there should be no such iimitutiun. I hope it will be understood that the previous restriction was m the nature of a limitation and not a discrimination. The purpose of the Cosmopolitan Club is to encourage doe contacts and personal friendships between its members with the object of helping to promote understanding and friendship between the nations, and to encourage and facilitate exchange of ideas and cultures. With that in mind we usually base our pro grams on individual or. group contributions in the form of songs, dances, talks, discu jsions, debates, educational films and the like. Our meetings are very informal and are marked by a spirit of friendliness and camaraderie of which we are both proud and jealous. Let me extend to all students, faculty, administration and townspeople a warm invitation to join us in our meetings in the Rendezvous Room at 4 p.m. on Sundays. We will give you a cordial and sincere welcome, Jim Wilson, President. rJ V. C. Seniors Are Puzzled Editor: In your issue of Sept. 2G, two seemingly contradictory articles appeared. A few of us W.C. seniors feel that an explanation is obligatory, having decided that we shall end it all before the next semester of "stimulating" classwork if one of these articles is-true. This article is the one by a senior coed in which was stressed the scarcity (in fact, the near non-existence) of available "21-year-old and over" Carolina men. This miserable article was the immediate cause of the use of 10 large Kleenex boxes by W.C. seniors. The contradictory article, written by a Harry Snook (whom we have nicknamed "Snookie" because he pleased us so utterly, ut terly!) cheered us up considerably in the Nonplus column. Our very own "Snookie" made it most evident that there was definitely a surplus, not a scarcity, of availables. However, there iu doubt in our minds as to the correct condition at Chapel Hill, and we would appreciate your kindness in straight ening us out on this pertinent issue, before we take drastic measures. The 10 Of Us P.S. Are you 21 and still available?! (We can only answer our W.C. friends by saying the sex situ ation. in Chapel Hill depends on the way you look at it. Also xoe would like to point cut that the letter came in unsigned except for the above nom de plume and we are breaking our own rule against printing anonymous letters by publishing it solely for the campus to enjoy its humor. A number of other unsigned letters received here have gone straight to the wastebasket, where all such will continue to go.
