Opinions expressed by columnists are not necessarily those of this newspaper. Editor Managing Editor Associate Editor Sports Editor Business Manager A New Era The decision of the Board of Trustees came about just as expected. The minority ranted, raved and foamed. The ma jority sadly shook heads and put the blame on the federal courts. In the end, they made North Carolina the first South ern state to crack open the doors of previously all-white in stitutions and let Negroes enter. The Daily Tar Heel hopes that students of the schools af fected by the hew policy don't carry on as did some members of the Board. Their haranguing reluctance was a display of childishness that was unnecessary as it was foolish. We per sonally don't believe the people of North Carolina have to be "pacified" by such displays of outright demagoguery. It is a sad commentary on their intelligence if such is the case. Still, as we have said before, the step is one that is only -just and right, and it is one that is in tune with North Caro lina's history of race relations. As we have said before, it means that students, faculty, and the people of the state ' white and black alike are entering into a new era. It is going to be an era that will demand the utmost in cooperation and good will on the part of everyone concerned. The decision to appeal the law school case to the Supreme Court, however, seems to us to be a little incompatible with the decision on the policy change. Even though everyone concerned admits that there will probably be no reversal . of the decision of the Court of Appeals, the decision was made . to appeal. Once again this seems to be a "pacifier" thrown out simply to keep some element of the state's population from rising up in great anger. We don't believe that such is or would be the case. However, North Carolina made an honest effort to provide equality of education for law students and it is pretty hard to have that effort turned into ashes in the ' mouth by the Court of Appeals. For The Record It should be pointed out that several candidates for editor of The Daily Tar Heel are making fraudulent promises in their campaigning. It is not remotely within anyone's power other than the Publications Board to put into effect many of the reforms or old-time policies so gratuitously passed out by some of the five would-be editors. Such things as six-day-a-week publication, return of comic strips, better delivery, more papers, all of those things we all want, cannot be accomplished by any one of these clai mants should they become editor. The Daily Tar Heel and fits Student Legislature allocation of $17,000 is entirely in the hands of the Board its five student members and two fac ulty advisers. Some of the candidates do indeed have good. ideas for the paper if the Publications Board sees fit to institute them. But until that time we hope the student body in general and the voters in particular won't be swayed by reformists who can't back up their ideas. R.N. The Daily Athenaeum, U. W. Va. We Hope They're Right GI Joe, North of Seoul, Korea. Dear Joe, We could not help noticing the painful and baffled look that flitted for a moment across your face when you first heard the news about the new draft policy. We do not blame you for feeling a little put out about it all. But you see,' Joe, there are many things that must be taken into consideration when a draft law is made, and the immediate future of the country is only one of them. It might seem a little rough to you that most of the college students in the country have suddenly become exempted from the draft and thus placed in a different class than yours. So you are well Within your rights for asking wherein lies the dif ference and how is it determined. Well, Joe, it adds up to something like this: The powers that be feel that this nebulous thing we call an education is too important to be sacrificed for the sake of military service. They feel the welfare of the nation can best be served by allowing those in college to comnlete their edu cation before taking up the sword from you who have carried it so well. This does not mean they will be permanently de ferred; their induction Will only be postponed until they re ceive a degree or complete their training. Ah, but that cynical grin reveals your thoughts, Joe, and you fare thinking perhaps, an unnatural weight is being -attached to a formal education on a scale not of your own divising. You are of the opinion, perhaps, that it might be bet- ' ter to fill the ranks from the cloistered halls than to plug" the gaps with starry-eyed youngsters, death-crazed veterans and .u uneasy family men. There are those who might agree with you, but the experts do not see it that way, Joe. They think the bright young men of the Gothic arches will be in a better position to build more securely the future on the foundation that is now so shaky. They feel the time award ed the1 college student is an investment whose interest may prove more valuable than the capital used in the role you play. ' We only hope they are right, Joe. We only hope they are right. .. - ' . - - - ROY PARKER, JR. .... CHUCK HAUSER DON MAYNARD ZANE ROBBINS ED WILLIAMS i on the Carolina FRONT by 'Chuck Hauser - i v r t The Student Party, it would seem, is scared of the truth, be cause, to quote an old cliche, the truth hurts. The SP, which usually pre sents an extremely able slate of candidates for the consideration of the fampus in spring elec tions, knows that some of its . major candidates this year sim ply do not stack up to their opponents simply are not ful ly qualified to hold down the of fices they seek. I am the only person who has said as much in print, and the SP is going to great lengths to try to discredit me. The yearly SP smear sheet, "The Student Tar Heel," appear ed on doorsteps yesterday morn ing. I am not a candidate in this election, nor am I working with the election or tha candidates in any official connection, yet my name is mentioned no less than six 'times in the Student Party newspaper of yesterday morn ing, t Walt Dear, the SP's hard working, youthful and incom petent candidate for editor of The Daily. Tar Heel, said in the smear sheet's pages that he is " running "without being ham strungj to Chuck Hauser or Jack Lackey." The headline above the story say "Dear Faces Hauser, UP." Another quote: "It's about time a little order was restored out of Hauler's chaos." I don't know 'exactly what an "annual requiem" is, but on page 2 of The Student Tar Heel a story reports that "in the an nual Hauser requiem it has been said that the SP nominee for DTH editor needs more time 'to develop his style." "That is either a misquotation or com pletely lifted out of context. Walt Dear, as a newspaperman, needs much more than style development before he will be qualified to edit this news paper. He needs training in many fields, only one of which is "style." If I may digress for just a minute, I have looked up "re-j quiem" in Webster's Unabridg ed. It means a "setting of the mass for the dead," "rest, quiet, peace," or "a song or chant in viting rest or fepos? of living or dead; sometimes, a dirge." In a front page article on Dear, the propaganda sheet says he is "the first dorm resident who has been nominated for the editorship since 1945." That is an outright, iie. Without search ing the files or the Housing Of fice's records, I can' state of my own knowledge that Ed Joyner, nominated by all three parties and elected to the editorship in the spring of 1948, lived in Old West dorm all the time he was in school after the war. Want to hear something hu morous from the pages of this cute yellow journal? Reminds me of The New Yorker's depart ment on "which page of the newspaper d'ya read?" Page 4, in a story on SP can didates for the Publications ' Board: "... the UP-dominated Board has offered no construc tive efforts to restore the DTH to standard. The Board, which handles about $40,000 student publications money, continues to hack out services, including wire services, syndicated col umns, and funnies. It rests on its cushion of completely negative policy ..." Page 2, under a listing of things student government has accomplished under the present SP administration: "Secured reorganization of the Publica tions Board's financial adminis tration, achieving more, effective and economical use of students' funds by publications." In the same "progress reporl " on page 2, the paper claims that student government under the SP "pressed successfully for a policy of two men to a dorm room for next year," If that cannot be strictly catalogued as a lie, then let us say it might as well be. There will bo two men to a dorm room next year, hut only because, of the Korean War ajid not because .of the SP. I could go on for pages and pages. The Student Party smear sheet is filled with distortions, misrepresentations, and some plain lies. '- " ' Here's a word of warning: There supposedly will be an other of these muddy publica tions out tomorrow morning, election day. It will undoubted ly be filled with - more of the same rumors, filth and below-the-belt slugs. Read it with a shaker of salt. From TTie Editors For Penegar 11 - ' .

Yet we proxy of UNC? Here's a fact. The are acutelv aware of the need disputed article was written by for capable leaders in those places where our student gov ernment policies are Shaped and implemented. Thus we abandon our tra ditional views and submit this simple statement of attitude. We all know Dick Penegar as a fellow student; therefore we feel it inoumbent upon us that we point him out to our fellow dorm residents as sincerely in terested in the work which will attend the office of president of the student body. That to us is tantamoun to saying that he is the only man for the job . . . v -Doc Venters ( . Bill Kuhn k Doe Berry Floyd McLean For Bowers Editor: The SP is offering the students qualified candidates in this elec tion. Henry Bowers heads the list. Henry Bowers is capable, able, experienced, and qualified for the presidency. He. stands head and shoulders above the opposing candidates. Sometimes I wonder if one of his oppon ents, Ben (Big job (agreed) Capable man (???)) James, knows where he stands on is- sues. He runs about talking against things and ends up by Since I can't vote or speak in supporting them. I do not doubt person for Glenn Harden, here Mr. James' confidence in him- re just a few of the good words self, however.

I'm not going to give you the old song and dance routine that "I've known Big Ben since he was just a worried look in his mother's eye and, believe me, he's as pure as the driven snow." Matter of fact I really don't even know the guy (we've how died but we've never shook) and I'm sure James wouldn't recog nize me if I bumped into him in the middle of the Gobi Desert. I just can't stand the thought of a presidential election going by without me putting in my two cents worth. Ben James has been called everything from a "one-man slum" to a "self-made nobody"' and he's been blamed for every-' thing from failure in Indo-China to smallpox in the Canal Zone. ; Somebody's trying to give James a case of political halitosis and Rather Refreshing by Bob Hennessee There are two candidates in tomorrow's, elections that are' rather refreshing to the usual .stagnant political air that drifts in about this time of year. One is Henry Bowers, who is running; for president of the student body, and the other is energetic Walt Dear, candidate for the editorship of The DTH. "Of all the students in the prexy race, 'Bowers seems to be best suited for the position. For the t past several months (without' his sights being set on the presidency) Bowers has been investi gating new fields of conquest for student government. One or his , ideas, which has attracted quite a bit of attention, is to wo: k out i a plan whereby students can, without paying additional fees, have"; complete medical coverage to.. "fhtvloint of medicine and minor operations. This would be worked through Blue Cross. Because of possible hinderance to the plan, Bowers has refused to, make it a campaign issue-attftff remarkable in this' political climate. In a column a few weeks .ago,. -Chuck Hauser criticized Walt Dear rather severely but added "he is one of the hardest working members of the staff." Dear is "giraTTfied to run. All the candidates in the race are ' qualified. All would probably do a good job. But Walt Dear seems to have something that none of the others possess: an understanding of thej'Crolina way and a vitalized err thusiasm. ,: . '. :i '-f , Bowers and Dear would make a great team for the coming year. Both are in the NROTG and will return in the fall. " '' I'd just like to pour the ice water "of fact on the exposed nerve of - . one Mr. Mac White, Sigma Nu journalism student strictly for Sigma Nu consumption and it's doubted that James even read the thing before it went to press. Since Ben landed here -as a freshman he's gotten more pub licity than Pearl Harbor. You'd have trouble, reading ' your morning paper through without coming across the proper noun, Ben James, and always m some connection like introducing bills to give the dorm dwellers a break, being - admitted to the Grail, president of the Town Mens' Association, University Club, going to bat for the lelf help students, etc., ad infinitum. Ben James is no Greek god perched on a marble dais bul he's definitely the brightest star in our political galaxy and I can't think of a more deserv ing, a more qualified candidate for president. Elect Ben James tomorrow. He may not be an undertaker but he'll be the last man to let you down. Barry Farber For Harden Editor: It is my contention here and now to separate the coed candi date, theoretically not biological ly, from the male students vying for one of the most important ' publications posts on the campus, a- desire for improvement of r herself, of The Daily Tar Heel, of the newspaper field in gen ".iieral. She has spirit, forceful ' ideas coupled withj a forceful method of expression and a mania for work. Faye Massengill The Kinston Free Press Rolling by Don There's going to be a big time in Hill Hall Sunday night, April 22, and the fun' is open to every-; one, free of charge. At that time, for the first time in the history of thevHall, a pro-, gram of popular music will be presented. And what a program!; Sigma Chi's famous alumnus, Hank Bcebe, will combine with the talents of fellow-composer Orville Campbell in the presen tation of a "Concert of Original Music." Jimmy Capps, of "Our Best to You" fame, will be on hand as master-of-cercmonies : And the -Bell'toncs will be the. Mailbox Vs. Harden Editor: Miss Glenn A Harden, inde pendent candidate for editor of The Daily Tar Heel, states in her expensive campaign literature that she will present the campus with a DAILY (meaning six days a -week) Daily Tar Heel should she be elected. I , was under the impression that an editor of The Daily Tar Heel was concerned with edi torial policy and that finances of the publication were left to the Publications Board. , Of course, the Publications Board is always open to suggestion from the campus at large concerning such matters as how to finance a six-day-a-week paper ... Buddy Vaden Senior Member Pub lications Board For Maynard Editor: . . To the students: Tomorrow you will go to the polls to elect a new editor of The Daily Tar Heel. We, as members of the staffs and as former members who are now on professional papers in the state, know what an important job that of the editor is. Although the editor has noth ing to do with the size of the paper or of how many times a week it is published, it is his job to write editorials that take a definite stand, to keep a work ing staff, and. to set the editorial policy of the paper.. The man who has this job must be qualified, he must have had experience on The Daily Tar Heel, and he must be liked by staff members. But most of all he should be willing to sweat blood , and tears to see that the paper goes to press in time for the students to get it in the morning before classes and to see that the material in the paper is what students want. In our minds there is only one candidate for . editor who meets these qualifications. This is Don Maynard, associate editor for this year, feature editor last year, and popular columnist for three yea'rs. Wuff Newell, The News and Observer Bill Buchan," Jacksonville News and Views Chuck Hauser, Managing Ed itor. The Daily Tar Heel Rolfe Neill, Executive News Editor, The Daily Tax Heel Biff Roberts, sports reporter. The Daily Tar Heel Edd Davis, staff reporter. The Daily Tar Heel. Stones Maynard featured vocal group. Beebe, as we all know, origin ated the now legendary Sigma Chi Sextet and led this frater nity to many a Valkyrie Sing first place. One of his most pop ular originals, words and music by Beebe, is "Tradition." The sextet reached its height of glory and fame last year when Bcebe and Campbell-president of Colonial Press, printers of The Daily Tar Heel combined their talents and created "All The Way, Choo Choo." The tune was promptly re corded on a King label by John ny Long and his orchestra. A great- many other tunes have been inked out by the Bee-be-Campbell pens, but quite a few of them have not been re leased. One however, "Stop Worryin', You'll Never Get Out Of This World Alive," was re corded by the Belltones and was an immediate sensation. The Belltones, four, men and a gal, are a combination of the Sextet- and the talented Har luoneers of la,i year. The Har moneers" competed on the Hor ace 'Ileidt talent show a year ago and just missed winning first prize by the skin of a Duke man's teeth. ' Well, Beebe-Campbell are at it again. They're setting the stage for a foot-tapping evening April 22.- In a show which should last all of two hours, many of the old favorites and more of the never-before heard songs will be played and sung by Beebe and the Belltones. The curtain goes up at 8:30. And you'd better attend. You may be sitting in on history in the making. Now Hear This by Jack Lackey When is a politician not a politician? The answer i, , ... ,v when he is an INDEPENDENT! Has he been a party ha-.. '., years? Is he a party vice-chairman? Is he up to his ears in p cation politics? Makes no difference if he is an INDEPF.Xri Today we have the interesting spectacle of "Beam int; i James asking us to vote for him because he is an INDEPENDr-- and not a politician. This is a lot of eyewash. The pride of s....: Nu has been a party politician ever since he was a frephn . :l was eagerly seeking party endorsement until he was turned a few weeks ago. Not satisfied with his party's decision he ; i, i. up his marbles and ran home. Now he is an INDEPENDENT. common man's hope. - Another one of the non-politicians is Archie Myatt. The i. that he is' vice-chairman of the UP does not seem to dc-tov . from being an INDEPENDENT. Archie want to be preside;-.: ' the senior class. His own party turned him down flat when h. ::. to get the nomination. Now, in spite of his limitations which ; painfully apparent to even Ijis best friends, Aixhie is askr.u to vote for him because he is an INDEPENDENT. The Daily Tar Heel editorship race has a whole load oi I DEPENDENTS. The most interesting of this brood is Ij MAYNARD. Don is this year's choice of Mr. Chuck Hauser. It :.. be embarassing for Chuck to have to support a candidate who v. only be able to edit 14 issues of this paper. Hauser is in this p tion because all of his boys are scholastically ineligible. Sm D Maynard is the INDEPENDENT, the people's choice. What is the magic in this label? -Why do the unclean bec-.: clean when it is applied to them? Are a politician's sins all wash away when he becomes an INDEPENDENT? Let's take a close ' at this breed of cats. Some of them might be big old mice. Speculation has been rampant around Graham Memorial r. week over a special newspaper put out by Candidate Mayn;-.: in his bid for The Daily Tar Heel editorship. The tabloid-six paper carried the masthead of The Daily Tar Heel .over it, comp!-! even down to th miniature bell tower characteristic of The D;i Tar Heel mast. Rival candidates fumed over Maynard's lifting . the' mast, as did members of the Publications Board. However, h vestigation showed that the mast was not copyrighted. As it si;. it now anyone can put out his own personal edition of The Dai! Tar Heel if you'd like to be editor without going through ; election campaign. Could by Glenn Much has been said about freedom of the Press. It is now non existent in many large areas of the world. La Prensa, one of the few truly great newspapers of the world, was recently killed. Its presses have been smashed, its files confiscated, and its editors are either in jail or are being hunted down like animals. In Georgia recently, Governor Talmadge's legislature tried to pass a law making adverse criticism of the administration libel. Last month, in North Carolina, a bill was before the Legislature which would copy the harsh South Carolina libel lav. Coming even closer home to this campus, the student magazine at Duke Uni versity was recently abolished by the administration. Freedom of the press on this campus is as yet safe from violent attack. The Trustees, the administration, the student government, and most important, the student body, up to now have supported The Daily Tar Heel with as much heartiness as they felt it deserve d. Yet the University's only paper is now in grave danger, though not from outside sources. Much has been said, about freedom of the press, but too little has been said about responsibility of the press. Every great right incurs a duty. Just as the right of the ballot implies the duty of informed voting, so freedom of the press carries with it the moral obligation of journalistic responsibility. The Daily Tar Heel has a responsibility to the state of North Carolina, to the University trustees, administration and faculty, be cause to these people it represents the voice of the students of this institution. But The Daily Tar Heel's great responsibility is to the students it serves ... to the students, who pay for it. It's major duty is to inform. Comprehensive and accurate coverage of news is essential. But' this campus cannot be adequately covered on a publication schedule of four days a week, or three, or five. Nor can it be adequately covered with a staff of five or six persons. With a fully-manned staff and a daily Daily Tar Heel, I believe that the paper can once again give comprehensive news coverage, to every phase of student life. The other night at the candidates' meeting, Julian Mason, chair man of Elections Board, was forced to clear up an error resulting fr'om a misquote in The Daily Tar Heel. The error in reporting Mason's statement was only one of a long list of recent mistakes. The veracity of The Daily Tar Heel has been questioned. It is under suspicion here as elsewhere in the state. The Daily Tar Heel must assume its responsibilities, lest it lose its freedoms. WW1 ACROSS 1'G. Counterfoils I. Go swiftly 2S. Article " fo"1 30. Likely t.
