Cornel Wright Sports,, Jte'n Barton Honest Acthn Nee The f uf ore over National Students Associatidn as jt per tains to the UNC campus has brought oyt someVyery basc -revamping that NSA. needs if UNC is to get its proper worth out of the organization. . 1 ": . . - .;- r V: As has been said before, the basic need for belonging, to NSA is something that eyeryonc should reeogniks; Sjicf reallz The organization is the "voice of coUegiate Ameria whether it represents that voice or not: And. ev$n thosC40 haVf so violently attacked and condemned the group hkvsI4rt)iis basic fact and privately accepted, or. at least recgnisedV truth.- - " . - ' -'A--'i,' But they have made some charges' and poing4 ol8 aspects of the NSA picture that certainly ; rjf(J;JsP5Tie thought and action. Main charge is thai, tlie g&j0foe$:tiqt represent the true majority opipiorr of tose niheJjlfn'it dent it represents. The clairrv is that 'fiaif-baM .bef als." i that premisfe,he callytp;1 are its polipy-makers. On has gone' up.- ;- : ; - ! V: : '.". :-:..v Vv " ' . -ol 'i:5 r -While the basic need for belonging woiild note j?ssened if the group were detrimentally cpntrolied by. ;.5yeh-pPPple, the charge should be a signal for some ;w,QrkV'pa;hpijest appraisal of opinion by those ' who must ' represent the. pirn million : students,, and especially those who represent ' this campus and student body. ' ' " '.'". ! r v V The local NSA Unit's failure m this field is that main fault of those in student government and. those ntcr0sted ; in NSA. Too long has NSA been a political football on the part of everyone concrned. The basic need for belonging has been beclouded by intemperate work in fields the discount plan, rrtainly--that are not feasible here. Those cciicerriccl with the problem have too long shouted back and forth without quietly : and honstly seeking to work but a program. of action thai can be acceptable to a majority. It is as much the fault of those who have been charged with the duty of running UNC NSA as it is with those who ignore the basic need and play politics in their rantings. The actions of those who ire cohcerned With the problem and that includes everybody hatye. top bftcm been' unreasonable, and have too often reflected -an uhor tuhate unwillingness, to give and take in a field, whete feuch ah attitude can only work to the disadvantage bi- everybody. ' ' . : k .. - ; :: - i - Certainly NSA has many faults, one of whickmay well be an oveidose of'.too-far-to-the-left thinking, It.that typO of thinking is not truly representative of UNC majority Opinion, and .if some NSA policy is not in tne best; interest of .tlxose it represents, then those concerned with the- JMesttifld immediately get down- to Work to solve ,and; rpiyeirTer ences. The. work .should be free of Unreasonablessl-and rep resent the honest effort of clear-thmking peopie2 : Ohdfeiservec Aicl ? The McCarran Act is probably the prime example thus far of intemperate Congressional " thinking giving aid "and comfort to a Communist nemy while ostensibly 'seeking to be a Weapon in the struggle against Communism. . : The backfiring nature of the meature, passed over Presi dent Truman's veto, can be illustrated by an incident right here in our own backyard. The bill provides that all card holding members of the J Cjommunist Party must; register with -the Justice Department. The deadline lias now passed. Junius Scales, the bossman of the Carblinas District of the Communist Party, and a resident of Carrboro, has issued a communique stating that he! isn't , going to sign the Justice Department register and in !the announcement he has been able to use some phrases that could easily have been spoken hv some natriotic and reasonably disturbed American citizens back in the days of the Alien and Sedition Acts. :- -.; The point is, Junius is not a patrioticor reasonable-thinking American citizen. He is acitizen who has by. all honest precepts sold his right to citizenship down the river. In re fusing to sign, he has broken a law -no matter v how intem perate the law. By that act, and by his very nature, he has, illustrated again that Communists do not seek to work fairly ;, witliin the democratic framework. -. ' "" Junius and other Communists are able to turn the pro visions of this hastily-thought-out control measUre ?into a weapon to which Communists are not entitled. The provisions ; speak so much like something drawn up by a dictator's Under ' lings 'thai. Communists- can : sound like patriotic :Amerrcfii3 while they carry on their own program of' UndermahnihgA the . basic institutions of democracy. v .-';' ''Hysteria when it comes to controlling Communists and molding weapons to battle Communism should appear last on the Congressional level. If there is any group of persons upon whom the responsibility for clear-headed, reasonably-thought-out action in the matter is most heavy, it J s the members of Congress. The McCarran Act is an example of hysteria on' the part of a body which is at the. head of tbe list of . those who must take the fore in the; world-wide struggle between dictatorial Communism and dynamic de mocracy. by ; Harry Snook ' . Our academic rcedom is be in g stolen from 'us.' - Most students'" -arc not in. a position to appreciate; academic freedom- Never having been part of a university where student affairs ate sharply' . regtricted, they accept the freedom. of the. Caiqlirii campus as if it ; were to expected. ' " Afany visitprs are.sprprised to ..learn - that Carolina students have, so much .to do with their own government. It is amazing . to , the. visitprs to realize that ,.hcreat , jCarQlina students as individuals and as-groups may apeak -,m free - criticism . of the University administration itself. , We have a democracy in ac-. ti on that is not paralleled in but few, if any, other schools in the entire world. And our democ racy is good. Although we make mistakes, we are able to over come them and become even better citizens and a stronger campus democracy. ' ' 1 ; , " ' Students and " faculty mem bers have been free to realize the true purpose of the Univers ity, which is the constant . and unflagging 'search for truth .in evry field of knowledge,-wherever it .may be found,1 and regardless of who "or what may be 'affected by the discovery anjd dissemination; of truth'.' - ' '. VNow, as ' academjc Jfreedoni is being 'threatened in so many once' frfce universities Caroliria is4 falling- victim, 1 too. 'It is, be ginning here, as elsew;here, with the '.intimidation of faculty members.-., - - ' ? . It .always begins with the fac ulty, then spreads to' the student body. After, all, the faculty, is middleman, so to speak, between the students and the administra tion,'., ;.: : .' ' ' ; Our professors, g e n c r a t 1 y speaking, are a . pretty liberal bunch because they -are sold on the ideabf freedbro--f or. them selves and their ' Students. But they.'inust'-,answ.er:toi the ad ministration, and there are many ways the,; administration may The signs' have begun to ap pear at Carolina. Notably, cpn trovcrsial speakers are no longer so welcome before Segrea . ti6iv is Jrearing. its : ugly head... Our professors have received.ran intangible i. warpipg to keep quiet. - ; - . . ' ' . All hut the bravest and most foolhardy will keep quiet. ..They have seen what has happened elsewhere when professors re fused to be intimidated. Professor J. A. Itice of Rollins' ,Coi)ege in Florida was dismissed jfor ; criticizing university pdli Cvos. rrofeisor John E. Kilpat rick '-- was ; dropped from the acuity of Olivet College. Michi gan, because he discussed coritrol 6f higher education-by business interests. Two psychology pro cessors were dropped by the University - of . - Missouri .'lor cirfculating sexi questionnaires. Dr. Jerome Davis i of the Yale Divinity School Was dismissed because he had 'different views of labor legislation and social justice. .. . ! : . .'. . But dismisals, . ajone do not show the true extent of the cur tailment of academic freedom. It is . the ever-increasing threat of dismissal,' on any number of trumped-up charges to cover the real reason, that serves to inmidate most professors and restrains them from expressing their views freely, r , If we value our own academic freedom and want lour Univers ity to rameain a libera insti tution, we have to stand firmly behind those of ourrf acuity who insist upon freedom. With our support, they ,can resist any ' dictatorial threats ;)f sacking for speaking freely. -' The prof essors must speak up, too. .They can do much to lose , 4thcir freedom by failing to use '' Thltji' must be no further en croachment on our academic 4reedom as. professor or stu dents. If we don't watch for it and resist it in every way, we will have .our freedom stolen from us.
