Jim Mills, Cornell Wright Night Editors: News Johh Noble Sports-Bill Peacock Time For Cooperation Treasurer. Banks Talley's method of meeting the loss of student block fee revenue caused by the drop in enrollment is probably as good a solution as can be applied to the siTua-, tion. But organizations are going to have to rigidly rebudget' their books in order to keep the overall campus budget from becoming, an unholy mess. Talley has asked all budget organizations to .Vfiluhtajily pare to the bone bone being at least a 15 per -cent 'Cut -Naturally, some cannot do that, but the Treasurer, has expressed, satisfaction that the voluntary cuts being taken "by organi zations that can afford it will make, up the difference. Such organizations ' as the Student Entertainment Com mittee, which has budgeted for approximately 10 per cent of the total budget, the fund- set aside for class pictures in the Yackety-Yack, amounting to about four per cent 'of the total budget, and the Orientation Committee, which was bud geted for about six per cent of the total, cannot cut the asked amount because .they have already spent more than that, already contracted for more, or because the figure is a bookkeeping' figure itself, not cutable in the true sense of the word. Such a situation leaves it up to the other organizations to rebudget severely .in order for the mess not to. become chaos. Publications, .including The Daily Tar Heel, Tarnation, and ;the Yackety-Yack, whose budgets total 60 per cent of the campus budget, are the organizations whose operations will be seriously disrupted unless their budgets are. completely reworked. The Daily Tar Heel faces a cut in the number of issues in order to-make up the difference. All three publica tions must reduce quantity and quality of product, slash vital operating items and raise advertising revenue sights in-order to meet the situation.' P Heads of organizations and student government leaders must realize the seriousness of the problem, and the need to buckle down to it with understanding and a willingness to give and take. The unfortunate situation is one that is a ' compound of enrollment conditions that no one could have foreseen and mistakes of the past by people connected with budget-making. The present situation is one that should be the signal for those whose duty it will be to "make future budgets to make a thorough study of past mistakes and future conditions in order to avoid, as much as possible, the unfortunate financial situation with which we are now faced.

Sex is mores to a self-righteous people as a i whole, to churches and censor agencies as . groups, and to strictly regi mented individuals. Sex is misery to that great majority of people who are at tracted by its allure and denied its practice these are the frus trated people. It is a misery to those who find it too easy too ; often and are caught with their" pants down caught by a wrathful society or an undis- .. cerning disease. ( :Sex is fun to a lucky few. Sex is .the one thing that every one of us says he under- -stands and. the .one , thing that is the most misunderstood. Sex -is the. "thing that comes nat urally" that has becomje such an unnatural thing. Whatever the color, creed, gender, station or age, we are interested in sex. You, for ex ample. If you're like most peo ple, you will be more interested in sex over a longer period of time than in anything else. The interest comes naturally, although there is no choice but to be interested anyway. So , much is said and dope and planned around sex that it'9 with us from puberty to death. And yet we know so little atpout it. ' , ' jThe main reason that we khow so Ii tie about it is that s&x is' a bastard son to us, in trie sense that the bulk of what we hear and read arid see gives us a highly; distorted and ?cpm plelely unnatural picture.. -Because sex is a thing of nat ural beauty and something truly basic to life . and living, it is easy for people to lose touch wjth honest sex in their wild, headlong flight from reality of - all kinds. - ' ... t Maybe some of us don't really like the popular idea of sex. Perhaps that is just because some of us think there is some thing wrong with sex as a bill board bust and sleek thighs.

Last year at budget time there was great unanimity among the Student Legislature membership over the necessity to in crease the SEC budget. But there were many who raved and ranted that throwing money down the entertainment drain vas pure sin at a time when money was getting tight. Now, with a 15 per cent drop in student revenue forcing cuts in nearly all budget items, the same cry will undoubtedly rise Lee Gf. Miller of Washington, D. C, for my bet is the best copyreader in the world, which is to say , he can. leave more good stuff in a story, and. cut'' meiie bad stuff out, than any body alive. But I never suspected him of being a brilliant biographer, which, it turns out, he is. Most veteran' editors stammer, when they stare at a -typewriter -keyboard, and the stuff comes out 'awf ul . soggy. ' Mr.-; Miller has published a biography of Ernie Pyle that s , as. ripe a job of writin' on a tough subject as I have seen. of Ernie Pyleacukbotfj ,bzomftb ETAO IIRDDD Lee took 'five years to do his book ("The Story of Ernie Pyle," Viking Press). I made a mental bet it would never get published, and that if it did, it would be a asccHajjiie kowtow to the memory of a dead man whg achieved immortality overnight, and whose ed repu tation was too sacred to be written raw. I was dead wrong. : Miller's work accomplishes an: almost imp possible feat an accurate, completely rounded appraisal of a complex man. It-doesrnot sacri fice warmth while maintaining ;,. honesty of approach. This is the full treatment of Pyle, never before presented except in the conversa tions of the few who knew him very welh Pyle was a morbid little man whose life was full of frustrations, tragedies, fears and self doubts. Fame came late to kis him, and he never had a chance to reciprocate. He loved to drink, but liquor used him badly. He was forever sick, and often when he was not sick, he thought he was. He could on occasion be vindictive and very hard, on others almost maudlinly soft.. For most of his adult writing life he was unappreciated except by a minority. He cringed before his typewriter and was ever unsure of his excellence. He raged inwardly for years at what he thought was a lack of recognition. His working life was horribly complicated by a trag ic marriage and his own physical weakness. Some of Ernie was heavy ham, and most of him was psychopathically shy. Like most of us lie was a physical coward and thereby became impossibly brave, since he forced himself con stantly to risk any discomfort. Ernie's first smash book was called, "Here Is Your War," and he gave war to you raw and dripping. Miller could call his book, "Here Is Your Pyle," and be just as accurate in his bill ing.

'. William R. Hocutt More, On The Monogram Club Editor:. ' ' Several comments have been made since the publication of my letter on Tuesday concerning the misuse of the Monogram Club. Many people inquired about the 'functions of the club r:n - what happens to the money made by the organization. In fact ..no of the high officials in the Athletic Department stated that all t!, Monogram Club does is have beer parties. To clear up this matter, I'd like to list a few things that this great organization does. During the football season, over 150 orphans are brought to Chapel Hill to view the. ball games. They tour the campus and are treated to refreshments while here as guests of , the club. The Monogram Club donates to every, campus chanty, stages a basketball game in the winter and donates the proceeds ;to the infantile paralysis drive, sets up several athletic scholarship; ' for -football and various other sports, and holds a banquet for the alumni of the Monograrh Club during the football season. The Al- umni Association charges the club $250 to send invitations to the one-time active members. The alumni banquet is held in order to keep the good-will of the former letter winners. As long as good-will between these men and the University is retained, UNC will continue to have hip time football; for we all know that the money that brings j.,oo l ball players to Chapel Hill comes from the alumni. This warm feeling' was almost marred last season' when the Monogram Club held its annual banquet. Over 700 people were to attend and ar rangements were made through Mr.- L. B. Rogerson to have the dining room and the upstairs open for this affair. Mr. Rogerson, who is in charge of the eating facilities at Lenoir, Carolina Inn, and the Monogram Club, also agreed that the Circus Room woui l be closed off. At the last minute, Mr. Rogerson, contrary to previous com mitments, upset all plans and opened the dining room and the Circus Room to the public. As a result, 700 people were crowded into the one small meeting room. Controller W. D. Carmichael, Jr., was present at this affair. One monogram member told Mr. Car michael that the conditions were pretty bad. The controller retorted with, "Oh it looks all right to me." . Last year, the Educational Foundation with all of its backers ' worked hard to relieve the club of its right to hold the Blue-White game. Finally, after a struggle, the Monogram Club won, but only after it agreed to one stipulation. It had to award a certain amount of money to the Foundation to set up an athletic scholarship. 'Alt r the Blue-White game was over, the club "donated" $2500 to the fund, which was over 65 per cent of the gross take. The Foundation also stated that only one player could receive the scholarship. The Monogram Club received np .renumeratipn :for act nor has it received any publicity for its efforts. It seems a shame that such a wonderful organization should run up against so much opposition at every turn, Jl ' Art Greenbaum Obstacles To Art l.i-J O.l point.

' Hill 89," by Editor Herb Nachman, a satire on conditions at the "front," was' a little deep for this columnist.

We did get one laugh from the article the mention of combat victims suffering from "Bottle Fatigue."

' -'"- - Editor: If you attended Miss Nancy Richmond's piano concert at Gra ham Memorial, you are already personally aware of the constant competition which she so graciously endured. Perhaps the person in charge of the Graham Memorial programs does not realize the disturbances that went on during the concert of very excellently played music. Miss Richmond was undoubtedly bothered.at times by whistling, loud talking and other noises that went on in the building. I realize that Graham Memorial is in use at all times by many worthwhile activities, but it does seem reasonable that some arrangement could be made permitting only a minimum amount of noise during programs of this nature, -i W.

"Miss Richynond suffered almost as ,-muth from juke-' box competition downstairs as from her own lack of musical technique. She was hampered all evening by folks . walking in and out. The doors to Uie main lounge remained open throughout the concert, and it was, as V. Ad rian Chappell points out, 'noisy.'
