Cornell Wright Night Editor, Edd Davis No Wifth Hunt Unfortunately for those who would start a witch-hunt at the University, .President Gordon Gray did not advocate any such thing in his inaugural address. " w. Miss .Nell Battle Lewis, the Chapel Hill resident and News &nb Observer columnist, interpreted the new president's re mark that "Communists would not be welcome at UNC" as such. So did several other rabid "hotbed of Communism" shouter's.' ; Miss Lewis, who calls everyone not a Dixiecrat "Com munist,"; and. sees . such, people sitting in every high post, i teaching vtheir "poison" from every University classrom po- j fcliiim", praises,-the Lord because at last the University is "safe." I The University has been "safe," and it will continue to be in the .future-rboth from subversive Communism and from progress-strangling reactionism. But it will not become safe because President Gray has at anytime advocated the house cleaning that Miss Lewis and those of her stripe seem to think he has. Certainly he meant that Communists would not be welcome here. They haven't been received with open arms at any time since Marx started the. whole thing. Neither have thieves, cheats, liars, or any other characters whose thinking has been alien to a majority of the folks around about. But they have been allowed to come. And because of that fact the University has been cursed, and because of that fact the -University has become the educational center with the character it now possesses. Those who read into President , Gray's statement a connotation that the University intends to backtrack oh this policy are just, barking up the wrong president. . y Ummyr Need s Help -4 i-V -; Yackety-Yack Editor Jim Mills has a problem that should make a. major portion of the student body feel ashamed. 4 Jimmy is faced with-a lack of student cooperation that ujiild make strong men quail. Jimmy isn't asking students to pay out any money. He doesn't want a pint of blood. He doesn't even want help on his quizzes. Jimmy just wants students to come down and pose for free yearbook pictures. To date, there have been but 2,600 students willing to take the time and opportunity to pose for these reminders to later generations. Now, the overall looks of this year's student body seems pretty good. Some of us aren't the best-looking folks in the world. But that doesn't worry the photographers. They've been posing all kinds of people for years and there has yet to be a broken lens of the lack of. pulchritude on the part of subjects. Honestly, the few minutes it takes to pose for a picture that will remain for years as a fond memento of days at the University aren't hard to find. And remember, someday you , might have to prove you were a student. If you were to lose your diploma by hocking or otherwise you could always drag out the good old Yackety-Yack and point with pride to the anch-square portrait on page 44 Corned on up to Graham Memorial, anytime this week between noon . and 9 o'clock, and you will be well-received, not harmed, and returned to your way of life with the know ledge that you have saved Jimmy Mills' honor, pride and nervous-system'. - More important, you will take your place in the honored lists of those who have adorned the pages of the Yackety Yack. And so far, that list hasn't been up to par. Rah, Rah, WC Team The Woman's College should be congratulated on the in stitution of the "football scholarship," the only one of its kind in the collegiate nation. The-WC gals have proven once again that, when new things are needed, the Greater University will come up with them. The scholarship will help some needy North Carolina girl in her studies at the Greensboro branch :of us folks. At pres-enCthe-WC'crew doesn't plan a football team, so the money will have to go to a scholarship scholarship instead. But don't 'puiij;- football team idea aside as a joke. Such a move, we're sure, would be welcomed by the other members of the Big Four ','.-,:,' '- v . ., ',. . - How did '.all. this come about? Well,, for years now loyal; Woman's College girls have ? been loading o,nto - busses and t making the journey to Chapel Hill to see the football boys of their brother institution battle on the green of Kenan Stadium. The money saved and made on such trips has col lected into a sizable enough sum to be set up as a scholar ship. Now, have you ever heard of a more unique system? We are proud to1 have been of help in this WC project. The girls may be assured that the University will continue to field a football; team so they may continue' to bless us with their attendance, and thereby continue the only girls' school 4 potball scholarship yet to become a part of the. col legiate, scene. NONPLUS by Harry Snook "... great decisions of today! Hell! You know what they are? I was pushing my way through the crowd at the Rath skeller when I heard th& question. I listened for 'more. "The great decisions of today are material for the corny mov ies of tomorrow. "Why is that 99 and 44100 per cent of the people absolutely refuse to have anything to do with life as it really is? False values; that's all, we have. I'll tell you why. It's because peo ple wouldn't want to live under the conditions oi life as they, really are. "People ought to use more four-letter words. No. I'm wrong. If they did they might understand each other better, and that would be disastrous. "Dogs have the real idea. They don't worry much. They're dumb animals and they're short-sighted. And you know, I think they know they're just dumb animals. That makes 'em smarter than us, right there. I've never seen a dog with am bition. All dogs do is eat when they can, sleep when they want to, and romp about when they feel like it. I "Cats are smarter than dogs, though. They've got it fixed up among themselves, like at un ion. They' don't even put up with human beings. "Human beings really compli cate things. They put up with themselves and with cats and dogs. "We go to movies to escape from ugly, ugly reality. We watch the heroes struggle with insecurity. We get security just watching. And then what do we have? We have a burning desire to go to more movies, that's what. "And religion. Everything be fore humans sinned and became human we call Paradise or Eden. And we look forward, to Heaven after we die. Look where that leaves this life. "Things that we call beauti t f ul. Do we like things as they are? Hell no. We don't like photographs, for example. Pho tographs show things just ex actly as they are, but we don't think much of them. We got to go out and paint pictures of things as we want to see 'em. "Nobody really likes this life. Or world. Everybody wouldn't be so busy making it seem like some other world and hoping to go to another world after he die's. ; "We're smart. We know that Abraham Lincoln was probably a bastard. And that the Civil War was foolish. . And we win all the prizes on quiz shows and think Napoleon was nutty. "So hundreds of millions of peoplehave lived and died and loved and fought. What's that got to do with clean rest rooms, and traffic lights and nickel cups of coffee? Nothing. . "And so you go to work and plan to make a million. When you're forty you're still work ing, but you only plan to make a hundred grand. All the time you're working so sometime you won't have to work any more. And you want to get to some place in life where you don't worry so much. You get ulcers in your forties. And you're working when you're sixty-four. Only it's not the million any more, but a funeral plan before it's too late. . "Your friends play you up and your enemies , play you down. You listen to your friends. And you keep busy keeping busy and being useful and im portant. And you don't think much about a new telescope that can see a billion light years away and that that means trav eling 186,000 miles a second for a billion years to get to where you can see." "That's what I mean about dogs being short-sighted. They don't mess themselves up. They bark at the moon and sniff each other's tails and sleep and that's life." Now you've got it ; for what it's worth. Maybe . the fellow had a point. ; But of curse he didn't. You Mean Some Can And Don't Do It? IS II The Editors Mailbox On A 'Real Honor System' Editor: I Tar Heel f Large by Robert Ruark '35 Miss Barbara Hutton seems to have declared the end of an era, in a momentary fit of dis enchantment over holy matrimony involving Europeans, especially titled Europeans. The lap dog Prince or Count used to represent the dear est dream of. young ladies whTChad nothing but money, generally earned by lowne uncouth pirate" of American industry. , It comes as a shocked surprise to poor Barb ara that she may have been tiie target of a handful of rumpsprung royals, ' who were less interested in her fair while , frame than her bank account.. She announces herself as through with international love, and, is now on the prod for kindness and understanding.1 guess the poor kid rates some, at that. The pathetic truth is that1 there, seems -to be small interest, anymore, in raggedy-seat scions of old, impoverished houses in countries which no longer maintain formal royalty1." About the only creature less important thajt : a French prince is a Russian prince, unless you handle an agency which hires doormen and floorwalkers. Impover ished nobles, especially Russians, make wonder-, ful doormen, because they look ; so proud. In the twenties, a rich American girl who had no foreign title was strictly out of the social swim. Didn't have to he miieh o a title most expatriate White Russians could dredge up some sort -of connection to the late Czar. Summer safaris used to be organized, by" determined mamas, to spend sufficient of papa's tainted nouveau richness to flush a fairly repre sentative count or prince out of the European covert. Purpose: matrimony, so little Hulda. Gluttz could hold up her head in St. Louis by becoming La Marquise de la Ouvremain or La Princess de la Refugee du Grand Faim. Miss Hutton, I recall, was part of -this gener ation. Left with a packet of cash and no partic ular guidance in her teens, she grabbed avidly Russian, Scandinavian, English. Her present disillusionment would appear to wind up a double -decade of noble, coursing, and on a sour note. ' ' . ' , ( Europe, grown more shabbily familiar as the war, the airplane and . the Marshall Plan have diluted its distant glamor, has knocked most of the high shine off the heiress-hungry DP's of non-existent principalities. High taxes, result of our care and t feeding of other lands, has greatly decreased the number of scalp hunting American heiresses. An imported, title no longer creates a heavy stir in America, and I guess that there's nothing much left now for most of the marrying boys but to go to work. It's a horrid thought, but times have changed. Nonplus: ' f After being a part of a rel "Honor System. I can aRr wholeheartedly with, your column of Friday,' Oct. 13.

In fact, he ex presses his 'opinions, obviously, on the same day that a letter written to the editor concerning his column is printed. His colurrn on that 'day, for some odd reason '(surely not clairvoyance m Mr Snook's part) is in answer to a letter or letters concerning him in the' same issue of . The Daily Tar Heel. Examples: Letters fr.,n; Miss Nelson and Mr. Thomason. ' . . . May we add, to .quote Mr. Snook, that we "will not furc-;.-. our right to think nor our right of requiring that we be convince.: in a manner which includes reason." Neither will we choose .u: religion above the others. Above all, we will never look c'.ov.t. our noses at any religion, but we. will look at them with respee: to their ideals and beliefs. We "will not sit in church for an hour on Sunday, carelessly accept the oratory of the preacher, ciiam meaningless prayers, and consider that we have religion." W. will sit in church-for an hour on Sunday, rationally weigh the message, of the preacher, intelligently consider his prayers, ai,-: hope that we have religion.

Editor: The Sounding d by Wink Locklair For the past couple of years the Carolina. Playmakers have seen fit. to begin their fall sea son with a- foreign play. Last year for an. opener we were given a rather tiresome, ' humorless Soviet satire called "Squaring the Circle.," which had little to recommend in the v?y of. enter tainment or propaganda. , Tuesday evening in the Playmakers Theatre a new season got underway with, the; time, an import from France called '"The Madwomen of Chaillot," adapted into English by Maurice Va lency from the play by the late Jean Giraudoux. It is part fantasy, part realism, but the sum of the parts adds up to a very beguiling and uneis ual evening in the theatre. The play is about Paris, not the city so much as the great variety of people who live in it, , make a living in it, do their good deeds and their shady business in its streets and. at the tables of its cafes. We are primarily concerned with the events taking pi SCO G. t the Chez Francis, a enfe on the Place de l'Alma, located in that rather mnjestic quarter of Pai is .known 'as Chaillot. Some busi ness men have reason to believe that oil can be found under this neighborhood and that such a discovery would not only make them indepen dently wealthy but would turn the City of Light into a city of drill shafts and geysers. They have, however, failed to consider the people, particularly the Countess Aurelia, more commonly known as the Madwoman of Chaillot. She owns the place, knows everyone, and is loved and respected by everyone waiters, the street singer, the flower girl, peddlers, police men. She is a whack, to be sure, but not crazy enough to miss seeing the beauty of flowers, pretty jewelry, young love, and those intangibles which money cannot buy. The Countess is warned by her friends what these men are about. She is concerned. "There are people in the world who want to destroy everything. They have the fever of destruction," r-he says. And she believes that they must be destroyed. Her plan is to hnx;ithe men to her cellar and to lead them dawpto the depths of destruction; not just-the oil prospectors, but all .those who worship "the golden calf," The is the frame of the play. . The comments. Mr. Giraudoux has to -make 'on" the good life, sex, men, and kindred subjects are presented in some of the wittiest ' dialogue to be heard from our stage in a long time. And the atmos phere he has created, an atmosphere" in which supposedly lucid people are placed in juxtaposi tion with the mentally unstable, is altogether pleasing. "The Madwoman" is a tremendous .under taking for any group of actors and technician who do not have a very long time to work to gether for the best ensemble effects of this play. The Playmakers' stage is very small, and the audience is aware of the crowded conditions there when most of the actors more than 25 are on stage.4Yet Lynn Gault keeps them moving about the Cafe in a very casual manner and he has created highly imaginative settings for the Cafe and for the Madwoman's "cellar, with its yawning door to the lower region. The cast, for the most part, is an admirable one. Lillian Prince is playing the Madwoman with understanding and good humor. She is familiar with the theatrical techniques necessary to give the piece its proper balance of sense and waggery. Had someone of less intelligence and 'skill been assigned to the role, the produc tion would have lost much of its charm. In the second act. we are confronted with several other "madwomen", of Paris, and they are enjoyable bits of acting, too. Kathleen Chase, Wilma Jones and Anne Leslie are these visiting boobs. Other noteworthy performances are giv en by Frederick Wr. Young, as the ragpicker who defends the oil seekers at the trial in" the Mad woman's chamber; Jean Schenkkan as Irma, the waitress; and Hansford Rowe who plays the broker. Irene Smart lias hdd a great time preparing the fantastic costumes worn by the .ladies, and to see them is almost worth the price of admis sion. Edward Fitzpatrick,'s lighting gives a nice impressionistic glow over the proceedings at Chaillot, and the music William Collins has ar ranged adds "a proper Parisian note, particularly in the opening, minutes of the first act. My only knowledge of the case of William Evans vs. the City of Durham has been derived from The Daily Tar Heel. But I ai interested in certain implications of Sunday's editorial. If, as the editor suggests, the Durham ordinance was "undoubt edly . . . unconstitutional," perhaps Mr. Evans' action serve d i uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States. And, granted that the resignation of Judge Evans from the Recorder's Ccurt bench is to be deplored, might not some que-, be raised about the fairness of citizens who attack a inan Ucaa of the independent behavior of his grown son? If totalitarianism ever takes over this country, it seems like. to arrive on a wave of hysteria, throttling our liberties in t:.. name of "Americanism." Every time an "unconstitutional" k-' is allowed to go unchallenged, such paralysis tightens. We are fortunate that to date, the courts have declared mo-', repressive legislation unconstitutional. But if the price of hbc' is eternal vigilance, it is also apt to involve "branding for lift- any individual who provides a test case. Perhaps if more imk viduals had had the courage and the foresight to challenge ':. rise of Hitler, recent history would have been less tragic. . " Robert O. Blood, Jr. " Fight Communism!
