in The Face Of The Tide
i
Federal Judge Johnson J. Hayes has made a decision on
what was probably the toughest problem to face a North
Carolinian in the last few years. Judge Hayes had the
responsibility of deciding whether Negroes should enter
the traditionally all-white University of North Carolina.
During the last several years, a number of similiar cases
have gone to state and federal courts all over the nation.
In almost every case, the circumstances have been the same:
A group of Negroes has asked to be admitted to a law school,
or medical school, or some graduate branch of their state
university because the state has not provided equal facilities
in. the form of Negro schools teaching the same course of
study. The courts have ruled that they should be admitted.
In North Carolina, the situation is different. The Negroes
involved in the case seek to enter the University Law School,
while the state has provided an accredited law school for
Negroes at North Carolina College in Durham. The state
cannot dispute the fact that NCC's law school does not have
the reputation, the background, the faculty or alumni that
the UNC Law School has. That there is inequality in the in
tangibles is obvious. But as far as tangible qualities go, rea
sonable equality exists. One school can never be a replica of
another.
Judge Hayes has obviously based his decision on his
belief that'equality in the tangibles overcomes the inequali
ties, of the intangibles. Since this is the first case in which a
state could point to an accredited school for Negroes teach
ing their course of study, the jurist was under no mandate
to rule for the Negro plaintiffs, as counsel for the plaintiffs
.argued during the trial, in August.
If Judge Hayes had ruled for the Negroes, the theory of
"separate but equal" would . probably be wiped from the
books. His decision upholds the contention that equality
exists if equal opportunity for education exists at separate
schools for Negro and white.
The Negroes who have asked to be admitted to the
University will undoubtedly appeal Judge Hayes' decision.
The case may be forced into the Supreme Court before we
have an answer to the paradoxical question of "separate but
equal." Regardless of the outcome, Hayes has made a mo
mentous decision in the :f ace of a sweeping tide of judicial
sentiment to break down racial Harriers no matter what the
circumstances involved in each individual case.
An Era Begins
A new era in the history of the University of North "Car
olina begins officially today, when Gordon Gray's inaugural
ceremonies., are completed in Raleigh.' Thus one of the Uni
versity ; most famous sons takes over the all-important job
as head of the Consolidated University.
While Gordon Gray has been welcomed officially, un
officially, and in every manner possible, The Daily Tar Heel
takes this opportunity to pledge its full support to- Pres-,
ident Gray in his new duties.
Gray, a proven administrator and executive, will un
doubtedly bring many new ideas to the University. He has
already indicated that one of his principal objectives will
be bringing to the three" branches of the University Wo
man's College, N. C. State, and Carolina a greater feeling of
true consolidation.
Gordon Gray today enjoys the good will of all persons
connected with the University. The DTH earnestly expects
the era we are entering to be one of real progress.
CICA Fills Breach
A letter appearing in today's "Editor's Mailbox" takes
issue with a recent Daily Tar Heel, editorial advocating an
other sorority on campus. The partiular DTH edit which
came under fire lamented, "It does seem that something
should be done to make the advantages of sorority life, if
such they be, available to more girls." And, "The obvious
answer would be to permit another sorority to come on the
Carolina campus." Peggy Warren, the letter author, then
disagrees that a sixth sorority is the answer, pointing out
the fact that the Carolina Independent Coed Association
now fills the breach admirably.
We wholeheartedly agree with the sentiments expressed
by the letter-writer in reference to the Independents' or
ganization. CICA plays a very vital role on this campus, and
the editorial was not intended to reflect unfavorably on this
group. The DTH has before, in its editorial columns, praised
CICA for doing a swell job in organizing activities for the
many Carolina coeds who are non-sorority.
However, we see no reason why another sorority should
conflict with CICA's aims. Even wi'th the addition of another
sorority, there would still be hundreds of girls on this campus
looking to CICA for leadership. -
Athens is just a small town
in Georgia, but it offered plenty
of diverse entertainment for
Carolina visitors over the week
end. Although people flooded the
town from all over Georgia,
Carolina students and support
ers held the limelight in festiv
ities. ,
Jostling for hotel rooms be
gan about 8 o'clock Friday night.
The local hotels were filled
early, while late arrivals had to
drive as far as the outskirts of
Atlanta to find sack room.
1 Two things were especially
noticable to Carolinians. Whis
ky flows freely in Georgia on
game weekends and the Univer
sity of Georgia campus is not
nearly so beautiful as ours.
Many Tar Heels were attract
ed to the dance in the Georgia
Student Union building. In ad
dition to a spacious dance floor
with over -hanging balconies and
an outdoor patio, there was am
ple lounge room equipped with
ping pong and billiard tables.
The Georgia Student Union
operates on a bidget of only
$6,400 dollars a year, compared
with about $20,000 for our Gra
ham Memorial. But they must
raise additiona 1 revenue by
charging admission to the regu
lar Friday and Saturday night
dances. To judge by our talk
with Student Union officials,
they do not offer nearly so com
prehensive a program of con
certs and special events as our
Student Union.
We learned that there were
about 2,500 coeds out of a total
of about 7,000 students at Geor
gia. It was a real sight to see
about the same number of boys
and girls on the dance floor.
The University of Georgia
paper, "The Red and Black,"
is published once a week. Caro
linians were proud to realize
that our school, with about the
same number of students as
Georgia, puts out a daily that
ranks among the best in the
nation.
Athens does offer Georgia stu
dents some facilities which are
not available in Chapel Hill.
There is a bowling alley, pool
halls, a skating rink and (some
thing we don't miss in Chapel
Hill) four houses of ill repute.
. Private parties in the hotels
were loud but not destructive.
Carolina and Georgia people
were mixing drinks from the
same bottle and alternating
cheers for the two schools.
There were odd notes on oc
casion. One girl on her way to
a party down the hall of the
Holman Hotel bumped into a
,man with nothing on but shoes,
shorts and a drink. She gaily
invited him to the party. But
this Carolinian and two similar
ly clad companions had the
grace to refuse.
During the pep rally, one
party-goer kept himself busy
cracking ice on the curb for his
drinks.
Then there were the boys in
blue jeans, -with beautiful silver
whisky flasks in hip pockets.
Sanford Stadium itself does
not CQmpare with Kenan. The
Georgia field had nice turf, night
lights and a splendid hedge sur
rounding the playing field. But
the stands and the scenery did
not blend well. The temporary
stands, where many of the Caro
lina supporters were seated,
were constructed of thin, flimsy
boards and the ironwork was
rusting. ; '
The loudspeaker system was
especially poor, and announce
ments could hardly be heard Jon
the north side of the stadium.
The fact that the Carolina
students and supporters were
too 'high and too far from the
field prohibited the solid cheer
ing support we exhibit in our
own stadium. Nevertheless, the
cheering squad worked hard and
we made ourselves heard dur-
ing the game.
The Georgia cheering squad
included some first rate tumb
lers who performed in cadence
with the cheers. And one Geor
gia tumbler tried to do hand
springs the entire length of the
playing field at half time. He
actually kept going for over
fifty yards, which was quite a
workout and well worth seeing.
By early Sunday morning, a
lot of money had been spent,
a vast amount of whiskey drunk,
a great volume of cheering
done, a terrific stint of party
ing accomplished, and a tense,
disappointing game was history.

Tar Heel At Large by Robert FWk '35
We may have been a mite wrong about the
rabbit ball, the inflated home run, the cheap
john fences and the other defects of major league
one-o-cat about which the writing boys have
been moaning piteously.
I wrote this piece after the first two games of
the Series, in which a lusty total' of four whole
runs had been compiled by both clubs in 19
innings, and in which all pitchers had gone the
technical distance, if you forgive the yanking of
Jim Konstanty for a pinch hitter after he al
lowed four measly hits in eight heats.
What we probably meant when we were weep
ing over the good oM days of the leaden rocket
with a sidebar sniffles about the shine ball, the
spitball, the emery ball and all the other pitch
er's tricks was that we aren't growing very
much talent in the way of throwers these days,
and are blaming it all on the defenseless missile.
There seems to be nothing unduly sinister
about the stuffiings of a baseball when a guy with
skill is serving it hot and accurate. Young Master
Rob Roberts caused the great: DiMaggio to pop,
burp and dribble four times before Joe finally got
thirsty for his evening beer and smacked one tes
tily into the tiers. Mr. Konstanty, the day be
fore, pitched well enough to win any ordinary
game from anybody, including Walter Johnson,
and certainly the Messrs. R'aschf and Reynolds
need post no sorry note6 for their combined ac
tivity of permitting one run between them in
two games. , , .

From our memory book: The talk heard about
campus last summer so strong as to reach all
the way to New York, that Dr. Roy K. Marshall
was thought to be entertaining a proposal to
leave the University and the Plantetarium.
A more recent memory is that of a conversa
tion held between two people. The main topic
was that pei'haps it might be a good idea if
Carolina ceased playing football with Duke, N. C.
State and perhaps Wake Forest, and branch out
to greener pastures, say, for instance, the Uni
versity, of California, Michigan or Ohio State.
Only talk, but these days talk is no longer cheap,
not even ovet the telephone.
We understand that the idea might be past
the embryo stage. Wonder what our football
schedule will be next fall?
Seeing Bill Buchan's column in The Daily
Tar Heel the other day, and reading of his latest
bosom buddy Beatrice, brought back a memory
of the death of Buchan's closest friend and most
hard-headed companion, Junior.
During our three years here at Chapel Hill,
we have heard a lot of shaggy dog tales, and
seen a lot more tradition in action, but nothing
lingers in our mind as strongly as the activities
of Junior. '
Junior, as most of the old guard still remain
ing at the University will recollect, was a life
size plaster of paris bust of Buchan, painted, of
all colors, bronze.
Along with another even more legendary
character who existed in the mind of "Buck"
Wilbur Amberson the three, Buck, Junior and
Wilbur romped through one ridiculously hilarious
escapade after another. So vivid were the ad
ventures Buck wrote about that Wilbur soon
became a real person to the readers of "This 'n
That." ., .
Will we ever forget the column Buck began
with "I saw Wilbur sitting by the edge of Hogan's,
tossing empty beer cans into the lake."
But Buchan lost Wilbur when he left the
University; at least, Wilbur doesn't hang around
as often as he did, and Junior met with an
extremely untimely death last year in an auto
wreck. We wrote the obituary, mentioning that
Junior was completely destroyed except' for his
left ear, now a treasured possession of Buchan's.
So we wish Buck the happiest of adventures
with his newly-found companion, Beatrice.
As an anticlimax: the vandalism incidents of
the past few weeks may be brought more into
the .open soon with the uncovering of the identity
of one of the responsible persons. We know no
more about the discovery than the fact that he
is a Durham lad.
The Editor's Mailbox
Sixth Sorority Not The Answer
Editor:
I quote from an editorial in last Thursday's Daily Tar HPC.;
two contests . in this global joust were roughly
as exciting as a game of solitaire with no money
riding on the outcome.
One of the resaons for the 19-18 routs that
have distinguished the last few years of baseball
is a kind of socialization of the game, a concept
of sport in which any number may play. The
chronic reliefer becomes the hero the regular
who swings against port and starboard pitching
is the rarity. '
Waite Hoyt, the boy wonder of the ancient
majors, was telling me once that an old-time
pitcher who failed to finish used to cry and curse
and go home to knock his old lady about, from
sheer disgrace. A regular who was yanked for
a substitute hitter plotted ways and means -to
murder the manager. This built a certain pride
of individual performance.
Truth being that we have coddled our athletes
as we have pampered our other, citizens, to
where they felt less of a burning necessity to
fulfill their appointed chores than in the rugged
days of the ironman. There is no good reason, as
Roberts, Reynolds, Konstanty and Raschi vividly
demonstrated, why a capable professional can
not Work competently for nine innings without
tossing nervous backward glances toward the
bullpen. Konstanty, the " chronic reliefer, even
went so far as to betray the socialist state by
tossing a four hitter against the Yanks in his
first start since 1946. This proves something fair
ly significant in behalf of free enterprise.
But you cannot say conclusively that any ac
tive inflationary j inns, af rites, or other devils
lurk within the core of what we used to call
the oid apple. To get it out of the park you got
to hit it, and this a good pitcher can curtail for
most of a long and dreary day.

There was organized on campus in 1941 a group that had r
membership quotas, no rushing procedures that resulted inr
happiness for some. The Independents then as now extended c
bership to all the girls who were interested. The organization hi'"
in subsequent years, -made a conscientious attempt to make u
able to all the women on campus the "advantages of sorority ; '"
if such they be," offering a wide variety of activities i u.i '
the interests of the women in the group, offering gro ip ;
and the strength of organized action.
The venerable glory and prestige of sororities have d r-;rr
in recent years. The poll taken last spring indicated only a Mr,,
number of girls who would wish to be sorority members and t '
not: Some girls want Chi Omega, some desire Alpha Gann-n. ; r :
others prefer independence, see reason in the apparent p. iad v

Reader Against Beer-Wine Ads
Editor:
I'm not anti-advertising, although I do think we have i,n
much, in the newspapers, on the radio, and everywhere else, r ,i r ,
say leave ads out of The Daily Tar 'Heel but I do say "why" p x
in beer and wine ads?
Everyone in Chapel Hill knows that there is plenty or l . , v
and wine available. Why so many reminders in The Daily Tar
Heel? Those who drink don't need them and those who ln net
drink do not want them.
Robert Pace
(The Daily Tar Heel would cost Reader Pace exactly twice r,r
much, as it does now if it did not carry advertising. And ay
as advertising copy remains, within the bounds of good ta:tc. ,,-,
will not discriminate against any particular type of ad rcrti . i,
or advertiser. Ed.)
Newspaper Is 'Laughing Stock'
Editor: ' ' ' '
Even on college papers, where .bad manners are somotimri
passed off as overenthusiasm, the article in Saturday's Daily Ter
Heel by a person named Hauser has reached a new low in colli ,o
journalism.
I regret that the paper printed such an article. It sho ws n
lack of a fair mind and is a reflection on all students and poise"
who believe in fair play and sportsmanship.
Such items as this is the reason that the Daily Tar Heel r,
rapidly becoming the laughing stock of all college publications
and also why any professional newspaper editor will not areept
work on the paper as actual journalism experience.
It is unfortunate that more intelligent people do not direct
the policies of the Daily Tar Heel. It is rapidly becoming a disgrace
to a great university.
Edward Person
(For Reader Person's information, Daily Tar Heel Co-Ed-' or
Chuck Hauser spent three full days in Athens during the 10 IT!
Georgia game weekend and observed student attitudes and re
action there first hand. At that time, many of the Georgia students
personally expressed apologies for the actions of their fellow stu
dents to Mr. Hauser and other Carolina visitors. The Daily Tar
Heel believes in reporting the truth, regardless of how unpleasant
it may be. As to the rating of this newspaper among other college
publications, we are considered one of the leaders in the eoUryc
daily field and rank in the top five of American college dailies. Ed.)
