Chape Hill's Loss
., Surprise ancj. doubt, indubitably, will attend 'the action of
the; State Banking Advisory Committee in refusing to permit
the establishment of a second bank in Chapel Hill, especially
in the light of the fact that of 23 applications, the Chapel Hill
proposal was the only one rejected. There will be surprise
that-the State of North Carolina would decree that any insti-itutibn-should
enjoy exclusive privileges in the community
''arid "doubt that the decision is wise, or healhiul. -
It is not the American way as many Americans understand
it, although it may be that there is a. trend, both in Raleigh
iand Washington, toward bureaucracy and the elimination
.of the competitive, principle. It would seem in a growing com
:'munity, such as Chapel Hill, that the more service, the better
off the people would be. Certainly, a voluntary choice of fa
cilities would seem logical. -
j Undoubtedly the present bank in Chapel Hill is doing a
good job and has been. It assuredly will continue to do so;
but it is the basic principle of free enterprise that fair com
jpetition is one of the best assurances of the utmost in service
and value.;
New Cburi Proposals
,' ' ; ! ' ' i
I ; r The establishment of a new j udicial study committee and
a pair of proposals on campus court procedure are the newest
additions to the University student judicial picture.
' -' ': '
The committee has been formed by President John Sand
ers to begin a thorough study of judicial problems. It will
hold open hearings and issue .' periodic reports. The two
public proposals both came from Daily Tar Heel columnist
Harry Snook.
Snook has scored the requirement that students sign a
pledge to uphold the Honor and Campus Codes before be
ing allowed to matriculate at the University. He has con
demned pledge-signing on quizes. The columnist has also
called for the publication of the names of def endents in
Council cases. Both proposals have been kicking around for
a long time, and both are backed by many student govern
ment leaders and others who have studied the campus ju
diciary, t
v All three of the moves should be carefully considered by
those affected by the campus courts and that means every
body. The committee is going to depend heavily on individual
student opinion to make its recommendations. Tta success will
depend as much on this-factor as it will on the willingness
to cooperate of those on the committee and those directly con
nected with the operation of campus counts.
Both of -Columnist ' Srtook's recommendations are "worthy
of careful consideration. Certainly the signing of pledges and
of the "upholding oath" are incompatible with the real pur
pose of the Honor Code. Whether the practicability of such
requirements in the early stages of an honor system ha.s been
replaced by a genuine enough respect for and willingness to
live under the honor " system without such requirements is
a question that can be argued either way, but certainly such
requirements reflect on the honor and good sense of every
student.
t The idea of opening up council proceedings to the public
by publishing names is one the students should consider
carefully it is undoubtedly the most explosive of all the
questions connected with campus judiciary. It is the question
that most affects the individual student and his relationship
to the campus courts.-. Once again there are good arguments
on both sides of the question. Certainly the opening of the
publicity gates is an ultimate to be desired. But whether, the
time is here for such a move .is a question that , must", be
answered in the light of a careful study of the, good and bad
effects of the proposal. 4 '
These three actions are evidence that the campus court
system is a field in which a great amount of thought, study
and work must be done. The job is' one in which ever stu
dent should take an active part. The fact that every studont's"
individual rights and actions are more, vitally affected by
the courts than by any other institution of student govern
ment makes such participation, and interest a must if student
rights and well-being are, to-be besl sejyecl. '

On The Matter Of Sororities
Editor: " .'
This is not the answer to the anonymous correspondent of iv.
week. I want instead to-ask these questions of anyone who (an
and will-answer them. I do this, maintaing. that, I am neither f.-.-r
nor against sororities but -that I feel-that, too much - emphasis h
placed on them at Carolina arid . :that. liberalization should precede
their extension. , - .-,
1. What are the; benefits of sorority life other than social pres
tige and increased opportunities, for social activity? The ' fec-lin
of belonging" can be gotten as effectively from" other groups. Wha
are the benefits to the Carolina campus as. a whole?
2. Are social,' racial, and religious-.discrimination - as .exemplified
by . sororities in line with -the much lguded Carolina Way of Life0
You want more sororities, Ilou, so. that every girl who so desires
may belong. Would not elimination of the blackball and "amine"
serve the same purpose? Is every girl in any of the existing rouns
actually qualified to say who shall or shall not be a member .,
the group?
3. You say that the quotas do not allow admitting all the girls
desirous of joining sororities. Would approximately 15 more Riris
be -impossible? (15 is the estimate for this year, a very unusual
year because of the large number of girls who went out for rushing.)
. 4. Would the proposed sixth sorority solve any of the existing
problems; would it be beneficial in itself? Would not less
prepossess
ing girls still be eliminated in rushing? Would another surojitv
merely be another like the five existing, adding to the faults and
problems of those if only by increasing the strength and impregna
bility of their apparently status quo position?.
5.' Would it not be better to 'put 4he issues plainly before the
'campus as a whole, find' out what, the student body thinks? S-jme
may mention that perhaps the benefits of sororities are given em
phasis somewhat out of proportion to their relative importance in
the scale of values for which Carolina supposedly stands.
I admit the intangible "sisterhood" quality that sororities offer.
I. admit the many social benefits and the powers of unified action.
illy purpose here is to imply some of the arguments on one side of
the question. I hope for an answer in print, that the campus may Le
acquainted with the issues involved. Ultimately, it is the campus
that must decide.

Smugness
by Bob Selig
I had heard a great deal about
this University being a hotbed
of radicalism. It is no such thing.
It is a quagmire of smugness.
Few of the student body have
any ideas floating around in
their heads which were not
placed there by parents, minis
ters, or civic leaders. This is
not a healthy condition. It is
no more healthy than poor blood
circulation is in a person. The
students on this campus suffer,
from intellectual blood clots.
How many of you have ever
attended the services of a church
to which you did not belong?
Not many. Why in God's name
not? Are you afraid to expose
yourself to new ideas and be
liefs? How many of you hold
religious beliefs which are dif
ferent from those of your par
ents? The number who do
would 'fit into the two YMCA
telephone booths. How many of
you are willing to discuss your
beliefs with a cerson who disbe
lieves in the existence of God.
Not many, because most of you
are afraid of the ideas of the
atheist and the agnostic.
Are there any of you who op
pose the political beliefs of your
parents? Why not more? Is it
too much trouble to think for
yourself?
Didn't most of you laugh when
you heard the Karl Marx Study
'Society mentioned? Why? Is
there anything funny about an
idea which has overrun a major
portion of this planet? -Do many
of you really know what Marx
ism is? "How can a person put
up intelligent opposition to an
idea if he only has a vague un
derstanding of what it's all
' about? . .
What I'm trying to get at is
' this. You are now a young man
or a young woman who is at
tending a University which has
a proud tradition of academic
lreedom. Make ths inost of it.
If you're smug now, how will
you be when you're40? Stag
nant. Sow some wild oats and
be a little skeptical while you
are still able, or how will you
be at the age of GO? I'll tell you.
You'l te an old, dried, human
prune. .
.This ' is a piece written only for my own
amusement, and for the possible edification of
other country-folk like me, who 'do not quite
understand the delicate i-.maneuverings of big
city politics and the kind of accompanying graft
which is shocking a .generally unshockable city.
Let us see. The rumblings of' a graft investi
gation starts. Our personable mayor, Bill O'
: Dwyer, calls .it a "witch hunt." Then he turns
out all the bluecoats for the" funeral of a police
captain , who has shot himself, in . the face of a
"witch hunt." ' ;
Then Will quits, to take a job:as Ambassador
to "Mexico". Just as Will goes over the hill they
turn up a big time bookie who admits he pays
a million bucks a year to Brooklyn cops for
protection. This is a witch hunt?
Then Police Commissioner O'Britm quits un
der fire, and they hire a new boy, big Tom
Murphy, who inaugurates his office by demoting
and transferring ALL his pkun-clothesmen.
Guilt by association?
Then Gov. Dewey says for tfn record that
no big-time gangster or system , of organized
corruption can operate unless the heads of it
have friends, greased friends, 91 high places.
Mr. Dewey then charged that Democratic Boss
Ed Flynn engineered the O'Dwier transfer to
Mexico to get Bill out of New ;Yorlc before the
full impact of the .gambling scan-Sals. .
.Washington sources write that Mr. ' Truman
is very annoyed at Mr. Flynn far putting him
in the middle of the O'Dwyer deal. .
Big business oil sources are annoyed, too. A
multi-million dollar oil-development loan to
.Mexico has been pending. Mr. O'Dwyer is in
Mexico. Sowas Mr. Ed Pauley, a friend of Mr.
Truman's, .who; once, was unsuccessfully touted
for under-Secretary of the Navy. Mr. Pauley
is in the oil business, big. Reports say he. has
been entertaining Mr. O'Dwyer. lavishly, although
Mr. Pauley I was denied public office because
of his close association with oil interests. .
Back from the border, and again into New
York. '
They recently turn up an ex-copper who evi
dently did well enough during five years on
a plain-clothers detail to buy a $30,000 house,
with a Cadillac in the front yard, in a very plush
suburb. His name is James Reardon.
It would appear that Mayor O'Dwyer's witch
hunt has gotten slightly out of hand, but also
that to date no big sinner had been named as
the Svengali of the sinister association between
cop, politico, and crook. With the past annals of
similar 1 reform actions to base an opinion on,
it is likely that no top carp will feel the net.
New Yorkers, however, could not be blamed
for feeling that their "finest" had suffered a
bit in the estimation of the nation, and that
the rottenness reached a great deal higher than
the hurried resignation of a few upper-echelon
cops and the debasement of a few hundred de
tectives would indicate.' They wished O'Dwyer
well, in the land of chile con came, but some
times wondered morosely as to just what made
Willie run.
Editor:
The fact that you have one of the five best college newspapers
in this country means nothing. Commercial and college, there is
only one good journal left in this country, The Christian Science
Monitor (and I am not a Christian Scientist). .
Further, since the death of William A. White, there hasn't been
a great journalist in this country, not even a good one. Your "ne ws
paper" is nothing more than a sheet designed after our "big-time
newspapers" which gives us: over-talked war, over-emphasized sex.
dull economic items, superficial .and superfluous society scraps,
and idiotic advertising for the insipid and gullible mind. Gone are:
features, art, musie,book3, campus life, architecture, ' color" stories,
etc.; gone indeed from the column of the arts is the field of journa
lism which' joined thii materialistic enterprise column.
According to your reasoning, one is to assume you feel a high
priced artist or article means quality. In this line of thinking, shaH
" rpbirif out that," with the" exception of Vladimir Horowitz, Messrs.
Levant and Iturbi are the highest priced pianists in our country,
.and both play the piano like Walt Disney's -elephant danced the
Dance of the Hours in Fantasia.

And On Withheld Names
Editor:
I am greatly distressed by the number of your correspondents
who are apparently loath to be identified .publicly with their own
ideas. "Name withheld by request" has become all too common
an appendage at the end of letters on your page.
Can it be that the ideas expressed are not the writers' own? Or
are our students lacking the courage of their own convictions'.'
It wasn't like this last year. I hope that this generation is not
to be branded as having less integrity and courage than its predeces
sors. Let's stand up for our own ideas.
Name withheld by request
(While we're on the subject of letter-writers who wish to keep
their identities secret, may we remind our readers that we will be
glad to withhold names from publication, but we must know the
name of the writer before we can print his message. A number of
letters have turned up in the mail with either no signatures or
supposedly funny nom de plumes. These letters are dropped in
the wastebasket, usually without even being read if we notice tliat
there is no signautre. We're doing our best to print every letter
we receive, but we must know who writes them. Ed.)
CPU RoundtabSe
by Merrill T. Kelly
The question of whether to re-arm Western
Germany now is Of prime importance in U.S.
foreign policy. For that reason it will be dis
cussed by the Carolina Political Union at an open
meeting at 8 o'clock this evening in Graham Me
morial. -
The idea of creating somaort of military force
in the West German Republic has becn under '
discussion by the Western Allies for more than
a year now. The creation of an army, which
has now grown to an estimateti 200,000 men, by
the Soviet-controlled government in East Ger
many, and the realization - that their forces
in Westex-n . Europe are .pitifully inadequate to
check any 'Soviet irivasiqnl'of Western Germany,
where iri ' lie the Ruhr --and Sarrl 'industrial re
gions, have convinced -the Westqrn Allies that
a military force must be drawn from Wester n
Germany.
The United States and Great Britain have
already gone on record :n iavor of such action
at the recent Foreign Minister's conference, but
the French government, due to its understand
able fear of a strong Germany, opposes the move,
pending the re-creation of a strong France. .
In this country a number of authorities on
Western European affairs; have advised the im
mediate establishment of a federal German mili
tary force. General Lucius Clay, former Ameri
can Military, Governmor in Germany, and Mr.
John J, McCloy, present American, High Com
missioner there, are among them. The people
who favor utilization of Western Germany's mili
tary i potential in the struggle against Communist
world domination offer as their strong point in
favor of the idea the strongest and most immedi
at2 of arguments; the additional military
strength with which to meet -Soviet military
might. 1 '-- -;-- ' - - :". :'- "..
It is not the plan of this group to ci-eate a Ger
man military machine which would be uncon
trolled and allowed to grow into an army which
would goose-step across the face of Europe again
in aggressive warfare. Any military force brought
about by this plan would be subject to continu-
,'ing suoervision and control.
... . - - '
Opponents of the idea raise numerous '. points
against the idea. Probably ' the two strongest
arguments offered are 'the danger of this military
force turning on the Western Allies in the future,
either as a result of bargaining and joining with
the Kremlin, or as part of a united Germany
under nationalistic and imperialistic leadership.
The second point: the moral objection to re-arming
a country which has so recently caused enor
mous loss to humanity by the use of military
force.
These arguments, strong as they are, lose
strength when considered in the light of the
more immediate threat of Soviet domination of
Western Europe. - -
