Two boards are formed. One is a Student Complaint Board, the other a Student Business Bureau. The first group would funnel all student complaints about Chapel Hill merchandizing -to the local merchant groups, the other will act as a liaison body. It will, according to Herman Sie ber, help the merchants in coordinating clearance, sales ? and represent student government in its relations with' Chapel Hill merchants. V v i. : The new program, it must be understood, is: simply a framework in which students must seek better relations 'ancT a genuine "fair deal" from Chapel Hill merchants. A feeling , of antagonism which seems to be strong on both sides -has long been the marked characteristic of student-merchant relations. The merchants have long held the upper hand in the matter, since they are organized in one of the tightest and most well-coordinated merchants associations in exist ence anywhere. They have at times been highhanded, but much of their highhandedness, we hope, was an under standable reaction to the very evident hostilityof students. There are a lot of things that need to be corrected in the merchandizing field in Chapel Hill. Too long have students and student opinion been largely ignored by the merchants. Also, too long have students and student groups been ranting about the defects of Chapel Hill merchants without honestly getting down and trying to solve the problems and correct the defects. : , .The new program is a step in the . direction toward, a positive, healthy,, and reasonable student-merchant relation ship But it is merely the first and most elemental step. Unless students- and. student government work diligently and with holiest purpose within, the framework established last week, the relationship" will "not be improved. As President John Sanders said about the new program, "It is static, capable of expansion." Only through - constant application of student opinion through the new program -can the betterment of student-merchant relations be attained. Old Spirit Again Ail in all, it was a pretty good weekend. The success of the Tar Heel footbairteam, the color and pageantry of the homecoming displays, and the good time had by all should be enough to dispel some of the gloom and dejection that had been all too evident around the campus because of the unfortunate and disheartening season before Saturday's settoo with William and Mary. It was a great day for all those concerned. Homecoming alumni, who had been forced to apologize and hem-and-haw about their Alma Mater's football success; students, who had begun to dull in their spirit, and Coach Snavely and his boys, who were the most concerned of all over their own fortunes, can all now hold up their heads and look to the re maining half of the season with a new spirit; UNC has always had a spirit that is unquenchable and at times shown up best in the' face of defeat. But it is always nice when that spirit can get a dose of spectacular victory. It received a mighty dose Saturday. Yes sir, let's all thank the "Bold Boys in Bashful Blue" for a fine weekend. Here's a hand for all of them, and here's another for all those organizations who displayed themselves to the hilt for the homecoming festivities, and to students in general who once again are walking around with that old spirit gleaming from perhaps bleary but uplifted eyes. War Tragedy Anybody want to buy a few hundred thousand empty cigarette packages.? J There are quite a few 'of the seemingly useless things piled away in fraternity and sorority houses on campus. A lew months ago they were worth their weight in gold. Their company was carrying on a contest, and the group that could collect the biggest pile would be the happy recipient of all sorts of useful gifts. . A large number of people had become hopelessly ad dicted to the job of collecting wrappers. Many had made the collection such a large part of their life that the. decision of the company not to hold a contest this year has caused an unmeasurable amount of grief. . The unfortunate incident must be scratched off as an other casualty of the Korean War. According to alibing company officials,' the processing of the huge contest was i"s-t too miirh for the limited personnel of the company, depleted by reserve and draft calls. So, for those downhearted souls whose very life has, been shaken by the recent decision, there is comfort in the fact that their tears did not flow in - vain. Truly, there is a war on. NONPLUS by Harry Snook This , column lias received several complaints witiihi uie past tew days about the state oi iood in xeiioir iiaii. One girl luund a cocicioach in her turnip greens. Anbtiier discovered an inch and a iiaii piece ot Heavy wire m.ner dewberry pie. Most of tiie eouipianU have been about long strands and mats of hair found hi iood. After our. visit to Lenoir Hall, we have two suggestions, to wit: ' . - The girls who work with food should be required to wear hair nets. Regardless of whether North Carolina requires that , females working in eating places wear hair nets, the management of Lenoir Hall can enforce such a regulation. ;i The practice of leaving large vessels of food open and, many times, sitting on the floor should be stopped completely. All food should be kept covered. . - '. . President John Sanders was set on his heets in a quiet way by the state attorney-general at . the recent - hearing held by the State Banking Commission. Sanders delivered a long speech favoring approval of the appli cation of the Durham Bank and Trust Company to open an out let in Chapel Hill. His speech, was in terms of "the student body believes" and "the student body wants," etc. When Sanders finished and prepared- to sit down, Harry McMullan was ready with some questions. In speaking for the student body, did Mr. Sanders have the strength of a student referendum behind him? Or, - failing that, did Mr. Sanders have a motion of approval for his stand by the Student Legis lature? Sanders answered no to both of these questions. When asked if he had even discussed the bank matter with a sizeable proportion of the student body, John ended on , the weak note that he had talked it over with a few students. Carolina's cheering squad did its work well at the William and Mary game. Many remarks were heard to the effect that cheers were more appropriate for the moment and more reg ularly spaced. Everyone still had enough voice left at the end of the fourth quarter for the last rousing call. Incidentally, the W&M drum majorettes evidently had spent some time with their routines. Their performance at the half was well executed and full of variety, which suggests the ad vantage of someone with the imagination and know-how of putting on a good show. Caro lina's majorettes, although few in number, could take a hint from what they saw Saturday. An attractive, well-poised young lady crossed her signals in appealing to this column for help against what she considers an outrage. She was arrested last week for driving without a license. This fact came to light only af ter she was stopped by Chapel' ' Hill police for making a turn without signaling. But she didn't have the ready cash when she learned at the town hall that a bond was re quired. The police, trying to give her a break, allowed her to leave long enough to dig up the bond. She returned event ually, still without money. Rath er than lock her up in the clink, she was released without bond. Now she's outraged. She claims that if the police let her go out to look for bond money, a bond guaranteeing her pres ence wasn't necessary. The police can't win. If they had locke.d her up, they would have bee'n hard-hearted. They allow her to go without bond and they're still wrong. On Campus This business of fraternity pledges ambushing a few select actives and making them take a little of what they dish out reached a funny climax at the University of Wisconsin. Six freshman pledges of Pi Lambda Phi drove, two actives well out of the city limits and dumped them in an out-of-the-way place with no money. A municipal court judge fined the boys $10 each for disorderly conduct. The Greet TV Wdir r . - - ,i....-.w t i'vf J. The Carolina Front by Chuck Hauser Last week's Kagawa incident wherein the University all of a sudden started enforcing a segregation policy for educational . lectures brought to mind a song from the very popular musical comedy "South Pacific." It runs like this: "You've got to be taught to hate and fear; You've got to be taught from year to year. It's got to be drummed in your dear little ear; You've got to be carefully taught. "You've got to be taught to be afraid" Of people whose eyes are; oddly made . And people whose skin is a different shade; You've got to be carefully, taught. "You've got to be taught before it's too late, Before you are six, or seven, or eight, To hate all the people your-eeiatives hate; . You've got to be carefully taught." I went to 'he Student Legislature ' meeting Thursday, jus' for laughs. I meaiilhe last phrase literally. 's - ' Maybe the name should be changed from Stu dent Legislature to Stupid Legislature. In the space of an hour or so, the law-makers managed to: 1. Let a bill be presented on the floor to enjoin the president of the student body , from releasing publicly a list of . appointments to- an executive committee because .he " never consulted the Legislature about the actions of the. com mittee. Of course the presideit : didn't havev to consult with anybody, and incidentally,: the Leg- ' islature should know that injunction is a judicial, not a legislative process. . r 2. Let Ben James waste their time discussing a ridiculous vote-getting bill to compliment fra ternity men and the Dean of Students' office, or some such, for working out the new Fraternity House Visiting Agreement. If Mr. James wishes to pay compliments, he .should do so personally and not expend legislative time. ? 3. Pass a measure making it unlawful for students working in any student government of fice to make personal phone calls on the office telephones. The Legislature might as well pass a law prohibiting students from drinking. It is not an Honor Code offense to make a personal phone call on a business phone (if you pay for the call personally) and no legislative action will make it such. The law should be contested, taken to the Student Council, and erased from the books. Perhaps the student body would have more respect for their law-making" organization if its members learned' -what was-in their constitution, thought before they acted, and? spent their time on worthy business instead of the ridiculous type of stuff listed above. -. - -k - , ' - The coed public opinion poll last week on whether a sixth sorority should come on campus was somewhat of a farce. The ballot contained three questions: (1). Are you in favor of bringing a sixth sorority to Caro lina? (yes or no); (2) Are you not in favor of bringing a sixth sorority to. Carolina? (yes or no); (3) Is this question immaterial to you? (yes or no) . Not or.ty was the second question completely superfluous, but tlx; voters weresupposed to indi cate their votes by marking X's in either a "yesv box or a "no" box. Since "yes", and "no" were written inside Ihe boxes, .it was hard to tell whether an X was a vote "for "the box it was. in or was supposed to indicate a crossing-out or negative vote against that box. And incidentally, what was the point of the vote in ' the first place when the Panhellenic Council had voted unanimously for the sixth sorority a few weeks before the balloting? The Sounding Board bywinirtockioir Kenan Stadium wasn't the only place on cam pus over the weekend where football was of utmost importance. The Playmakers Theatre housed a new full-length experimental play Fri day and Saturday evenings which argued the merits of 'the grid sport against pursuits of a less strenuous and you should excuse the expression more intellectual nature. The-play was called "First String Concerto." It was written by Martha Nell Hardy and it at tracted capacity audiences both nights. Mrs. Hardy chose a very topical -.and popular subject for her play. However it is' questionable whether her material is adequate to keep' an audience interested for three acts. The play wright asks us to believe that the star player on a small midwestern college team develops an aptitude and love for the violin just because there has been some mixup of papers on a psy chology placement test. He is so enraptured with his new yocation that football means nothing anymore. The Big Game on Saturday can be played without him. He'd rather stay at the pro fessor's Jiouse and practice the fiddle. But Mal com does return to the squad through the most elementary oi. discoveries: The paper which showed, a marked appreciation for music wasn't his at all. The second act of the play is nothing more than repetition of the ideas introduced in the opening act. It is a tug-of-war with Malcom and the professor on one side, and the team's coach, publicity agent, the dean arid his wife on the other. It is a case of plucking the daisy too often and the dialogue seems forced. By the time act three gets started there is little to do but correct the professor's error and let the curtain down as soon as possible.. i The production for "First String Concerto" was first-rate, however. Edj)Grady did Malcom's role in a halting, naive manneiyand John Shearin gave a good performance- as the coach. Perhaps the best acting throughout the. evening was Larry Peerce's. He played Charley, the team's publicity agent. It was a perfect role for Mr. Peerce. It gave him ample opportunity to race wildly around the stage, and keep everyone in a state of utter confusion. William Moore Peterson seemed nerv ous in the role of the psychologist' but maybe that's the way psychologists are supposed to act. Louisa Cartledge turned in a very even perform ance as the psychologist's wife. The other actors were adequate in what they were assigned to do. Nathaniel White directed the play and he did the best ha could to keep something happening. Edgar .Loessin's living-room set was very hand some and Sar,a Gatlin's costumes, which very ordinary, were in good taste. Eyerything looked good on the stage but what was said and what took place there could have been handled bet ter in a one-act setting. Elizabeth M. Thompson, a soprano, was pre sented in a recital in Graham Memorial Sunday evening. The important feature of the. program was her singing of the lovely Frauenliebe Und Leben cycle of Robert Schumann. There are eight songs in the cyelo and it takes a very ex perienced singer to tackle the work. It was a strikingly ineffective presentation of this musie. Mrs. Thompson has a range of about six, pos sibly seven notes, starting., with the A above middle C and going to G. It takes more than that to sing Schumann or the othex songs she offered. The Ed ifbr's Mail bo 'Keep Up To Date' Editor: - .. ; s Dear Nonplus: : ; ; In your , column.. last .Tuesday you.td that the "FCC ap proval of the CBS type of color television is "one of ' the wor.-t blunders ever made 7 by this "bureau." ,. t , . ,, WJiat. do you think this federal bureau was set up for? it to protect you and 130 million Other people.'

' " . . Tom Donnelly in his column, The Serious Side, has raised question which it seems to me is vital to all citizens of this country ' today. That is the question of nationalism vs internationalism. Whether the authdr intended to do so or not he has given nn the impression that nationalism: is a label of which we as Ameri cans should be ashamed and should avoid at all costs. The type of '' nationalism as-exemplified by iGermany and Japan from 1930 t ,t 1945, is of course, detestable and should rightly be eradicated but the nationalism of that type has never been present in our country ;' and it never will be. ' The nationalism of our country has always been exemplified by a healthy pride in achievements of our people, a . respect for ' the integrity of the individual, belief that our political institu- , tions offer the greatest opportunity for the expression of the best that is. in the individual and a love of country which cannot be ' extinguished. ; . .. , It is definitely, necessary that we develop an international spirit and outlook and: ' I' believe that the United States has pro- ' gressed along this road As far as has any nation in the world. With the exception of a few diehards the outmoded belief in isolation is dead and it is a good riddance. The world is now closer to an energetic, responsible 'and respected wOrld organization than it -has ever been in its history and it is largely through the efforts of the United States that this has been made possible. Mr. Donnelly says: "If every student -would read a' foreign ' news magazine regularly, he would become aware of how thor oughly we are indoctrinated with our qwn national standards." I P ask, is this anything to regret? These same "national standards arc what have made America , what she is today. They have given us a great heritage to live up to and if we don't live up to this heri tage we have failed miserably. A strong international organization of world government is a very commendable idea, something for which we should strive. I hope that one day it will be achieved but to achieve international ism at the .expense of our national individuality is something entirely different. Our nationalism-encompasses an ideal worth living for, .worth fighting for, worth dying for. Let's think seriously before we con sider sacrificing it for, any nebulous international utopia. In nationalism we find our Strength and . the' will to push forward to a better world order. James Y. Scruggs Jr. Sarcasm Is Misplaced Editor: Now Mr. Rodman strongly .recommends Mi. Debnam's bo-A, "Weep No More, My Lady," I cannot oppose this for I would be opposing free thoiight. I. .think that Mr. Debnam" has some good points in his book, and L think that his motives are good. However, I strongly; Oppose the use of sarcasm which he use , to get his ideas acrossi From the front cover with a caricature of Mrs. Roosevelt in tears to the glossary at the end with a "daffy nitions" of "junior" sarcasm reigns high, mighty and proud. "Weep No More,. My Lady" is supposed to create better under standing and cooperation between the North and the South, but because of the sarcasm,5 the fun made of Mrs. Roosevelt, and the grand and teary references made to the Old South, it will ch nothing in the world but. send the Confederate flag on high again, and cause Old Glory to be hurled in our faces by the North. With this book as an example of Southern progress, other people in the nation will only mutter, "Damn rebels, progressive South my eye, they are just, like they were in 1860."
