Advice to the University
Chapel Hill and the University of North Carolina have al
ways been favorite sites for conventions, institutes, banquets,
and other get-togethers. This weekend the Daily Tar Heel is
proud to roll out the welcome mat to the several hundred
high school journalism students who are visiting the campus
for the Ninth Annual -Scholastic Press Institute.
Because the current visitors on campus are journalists, the
DTH takes a special interest in them. But there's another
reason why we are particularly interested in this get-together.
And that is because the delegates are high school stu
dents. It seems to us that this University makes all too few efforts
to attract the most outstanding students in this state to Caro
lina. And that's why we always are particularly glad to wel
come high school visitors to Chapel. Hill.
This is not to say that the University is sitting back on its
reputation, making no effort to interest the top students in
coming to school here. State High School Dal, Boys State,
and other programs and meetings are notable efforts to sell
the University. Yet more could be done.
Here is a suggestion which the Daily Tar Heel would like
to present to the University in line with selling Carolina to
outstanding high school seniors. Why not begin a policy of
having perhaps four or five high school students visit the
University each weekend? If enough student leaders could
be interested in this undertaking, then they could serve as
off Seal hosts to these visitors each weekend. There are plenty
of boys on this campus who would be willing to undertake
to "explain Carolina" to some visiting high school " senior,
and it would not be necessary for any Carolina student to
serve as host for more than one weekend.
Since informality is one of Carolina's greatest talking
points, why not bring these high school students up in small
groups so that they might get a look at Carolina as it really
is? .
Also in many Northern colleges, school officials make use
of fraternities in entertaining high school visitors. Suc.li a
policy has proved highly effective in schools where it .has
been tried, and our University might try it if the idea of in
dividual student leaders acting as hosts did not prove advis
able. The fraternities probably would welcome an opportun-
iry to make themselves useful to the University.
These are just' a few thoughts on methods of maximizing
the competition from Duke, Wake Forest, Davidson, and
out-of-state schools. At any rate, University officials should
give serious consideration to the problem, as each year many
of the best students are being lured off.
The DTH is. convinced that Carolina has'. more to offer
than any school in this state. But it's rather hard to explain
these sometimes intangible qualities which make this Uni
versity great. Certainly little of the college atmosphere of
Chapel Hill can be conveyed to several thousand high school
students roaming over the campus. Only in small, intimate
groups, with University students acting as" hosts, can we
really begin to hit at our goal of conveying the meaning
of Carolina to the high school visitor.

Fine Attitude
The fact that there have been very few complaints about
the closing of Lenoir Hall, the campus dining center, on
Monday is certainly a tribute to the student body. Because of
the great crowds of visitors who will be on campus Monday
for the beginning of President Gray's inauguration ceremon
ies, it was found absolutely necessary to close the dining hall
all day in order to prepare for the massive banquet Monday
night.
Because of this, there was no alternative but to close
Lenoir for the day. University officials did this only with the
greatest reluctance, realizing that it would work an inconven
ience on many students.
However, the good graces displayed by the students over
the inevitable closing of Lenoir was gratifying indeed to the
Administration, which, already is beseiged with the many de
tails of planning the inauguration.
' Lenoir Hall will be back open again Tuesday, and perhaps
it will be better received by the students after a one-day's
absence. Conditions probably will be crowded in other cam
pus dining spots Monday, but the inconvenience should not
be too great.
. At any rate the students are to be commended for their
fine attitude. - .
On Campus
There's a gent over in the
Romance Languages Department
who got carried away during
his lecture the other day.
With a nostalgic, twinkle, the
French Prof imagined how nice
the spacious sidewalk along the
i.ontli side of Franklin Street
would look transformed into an
outdoor Parisien cafe.
And while a group of Caro
lina students were on a foreign
tour this summer, each vied to
have a big collection of some
thing to bring back.
Nov there's one particular
young coed, a '49 graduate, who
had nothing to say about her
collection. She only smiled when
everybody bragged about their
menus, match covers, and as
sorted junk. .
Finally, the advise gave way
to his smouldering desire and
a.'.ked her what she was collect
ing. "Well," she said, "I wanted
to be unique. Something that's
different from the rest of the
gtoup." ,
And the clincher:
"You know, I'm . collecting
French toilet paper. And I've
got 34 kindj already.".
There's a sign over a Univer
sity office door which strikes
you squarely in the face as you
leave.

Rolling Stories
by Don Maynard
I once had the privilege of working beside
a Brooklyn lad named Fontleroy F. Murphy,
often called just "F. F.," and more often just
called "Murph," in one of New York's largest
banks. We were mere peasants in the organiza
tion bank messengers, to be exact.
But lowly as he was, Murph was always a,
thinker, and charmed nie for; hours with his t
philosophical wanderings Certainly, there were
times when he wandered so far that he became
lost in the maze of his own brain cells, never
theless he was fascinating. Occasionally he writes
to me, and more times than not, he hits the
nail on the head with his words.
I remember Murph used to say he was never
going to college because he felt it a waste of
time. He had a good high school education, and
he was content to work his way up. Now, one
of his letters comes to: me with a gripe. He
complains that college grads are coming into
the bank and securing jobs far superior to his,
though he has been with, the organization some
eight years now. He can't see huw college men
with no practical experience can Ntep right ,into
a job he has been doing for year3 and imme
diately subordinate him.
"They are not much more intelligent than I,"
he writes, "but they have that almighty sheep
skin. That makes the difference. And what
irritates me is that most of .them act as though
they had just come out of high school. Like a
bunch of kids."
Murph's failure to rise in the' ranks is no doubt
due. to his lack of initiative, he was always con
tent to set and suck on his pipe while others
ran the messages. But his remark on the imma
turity of college graduates seijms to me poignant.
Evidence points to immaturity and a high
schopljsh attitude when supposedly grown-up
men, we'll1 leave the women out of this, run
around on neighboring campuses painting up
venerable buildings with their school colors
just to prove they "have the spirit."
But how can they be taught to grow up when,
in the classrooms, a high school attitude is slowly
coming into the fore? Take this chalked npte I
read on the blackboard of a physchology lab:
"Lab reports that are turned in late will be UN
JUSTLY AND CRUELLY PENALIZED, unless
accompanied by an especially heartbreaking ex
cuse in writing."
The instructor Who scribbled that on the black
board is one of the men who, according to the
ory, is to teach the high school graduates, now
entering the University in droves, to think. I'll
let the reader form his own conclusions.
It has been proven time and time again that
the majority of college professors and instruc
tors, highly intelligent, true, nevertheless do not
know how to pass their knowledge on to their
students.
No wonder the college degree of today is be
ing compared in job-getting power to, the high
school diploma of; 10 years ago. Education is not
being taken seriously enough. Note the fratern
ity average of last year: 17 of the 27 campus
fraternities below the all-men's average.
Could it be that higher education in our col
leges. has ceased to be a proving grounds for life
an;l preparation for a career and has now be
come a playground for those graduated-but-still-in-that-stage
high schoolers who want a good
time and not an education?
Maybe Murph was right. Maybe a lot more
of us should "have stood in high school." Our
. colleges are turning out just "a bunch cf kids,"
it seems.
Think it over, children.

I must learn my way around this place. Yester

I didn't mind. The professor did. And night
before last I was looking for a friend and hus

the vicinity of the Porthole, "and about three
hours, tvo packs of fags, and I don't knoW how

On The Question Of Admitting Negroc
Editor: -
I read with some dismay and disgust the letter entitled
Not Fight It All The Way?" As they said there are people :'f-j'j
in this wonderful Southland of ours who seem unable to t!.
off the shackles of prejudice and hate and accept everyone ' -'
gardless of race, creed or color, as their fellowman.
I am dismayed because I thought the average college stn, r
would have no objections to extending to all the citizens .,! n ..

of being enrolled here at Carolina. I am disgusted that w- ' :.'.'.

The letter states that "we should take this thing all thr- v ,v
to the Supreme Court and that we should not be afraid of pub
licity which would result from such a move." The publicity" i
a small thing compared to the expense which would be involved
without even thinking of the time wasted.
In the sam eparagraph the letter reads "that the court may . ,,,.

me because I had always thought that the state meant all V
people who are citizens residing within the boundaries ot ill

In the same paragraph the letter reads "that the court may rule
traditional Southern views on this matter. In reference to tin
let me first say that I, too, like tradition where it does not In.la
back the progress of ? mankind. I would like to quote from t I.
Bible a couple of verses. which I think have bearing on this ide-t
of tradition retarding progress. They are taken from the seventh
chapter of Mark, verses eight and nine. -
They read. "You leaver the commandment of God, and hold
fast the tradition of men." And he said to them, "You have a fine
way of rejecting the commandment of God, in order to Wen
your tradition!" In all of his teachings, Christ showed how' we
should act toward our fellow men. He made no mention of any
(on group having the upper hand in any of the affairs of the land
but that all men are under one God and should serve Him.
I look forward to the time when our traditional Southern
viewpoint will, not be mixed with prejudice and we can truly
hold our heads high, proud of the knowledge that we have not
kept anyone from enjoying life to the fullest, and with a fe.-lin
of reverance. knowing that God" is truly the Ruler of the universe3.

And Miss Nelson Makes A Reply
Editor: '
rjear Harry,
I am grateful for the "full credit" you have paid ne for hem
able to think and for the invitation to support my way of think
ing. The point to which my thinking goes is at best an uncertain
one, but I am eager to defend it.
No one, Harry, is more in favor of provoking thought and dis
cussion on serious matters than I. Nor do I object to the injection
of an amusing note. When we lose the ability to laugh at our
own ridiculous mistakes sanity will not be an easy thing to
maintain. Again, I do not object to one person with many opin
ions, but now we are getting closer to my objections.
To be specific, I do not find the note of defeat and finality in
your column lamenting the, state of our modern world desirable
in the writing of a crusading young newspaperman. And I deny
that I have found an escape from reality, whatever the word may
mean. Since it has been a problem of the philosophers of all
time, I cannot be as confident as you seem to be concerning its
nature' -
My objections remain as they were stated, perhaps vaguely,
in my previous letter; and deal with your method rather than
your motive.
They are: that your cynical attitude is not going to im
prove conditions; and that in analyzing problems of grave signi
, ficance and serious consequences it is doubtful what a statement
of your private views will provoke. "Nonplus" is, I am sure, in
tended as an attempt at provoking serious thought; and if written
in a spirit of genuine truth-seeking could accomplish this end.
But remember, Harry, that in its present state your column
provoked my indignation rather than my thought.
