s i i I 1 ft. .TUESDAY, JANUARY 8, 1952 THE DAILY TAR liEEIi PAGE THREE Letter s Madam Editor: " , Let's have a little truth on the sports page for a" change. To begin with, in Friday's paper, Carolina was listed at the top of the conference with an 0 won and 4 -lost record. This was only a misprint and of course that is common in the Tar Heel. Today there was a pretty bad one by Bill Peacock but at least it didn't give any facts wrong. However, in the next column there was one about Arnold Heft and Thursday night's dif ficulties. First of all, who gave the consensus that Heft could have averted the difficulties? Next, . Howard Deasy never threw a punch. He swung his arms to free himself from a hold. He has had a scrape or two in the -past couple years and I know personally that he wanted to avoid this one. He did. He stepped back and restrained a Ma'ryland player with one arm. This was after Greco hit him. Al Lifson only grabbed a Maryland man who was after Deasy. He also never swung. Next, Bud Millikan had a technical called on him because he protested Jippy (after com ing inside 'the three foot limit to take two out of bounds passed from Deasy.) Curley White, not Heft, called "the technical on MilHkan. The other technical was called on Greco for. hitting Deasy. " The information" on the Pete Mullis incident was correct-nice going. I don't know who wrote this article. Whoever did it owes an apology to Howard Deasy. Is it not enough that local papers have gotten the wrong slant on him. Can't our own school paper give their basketball captain a break? P. S. I have my information from the boys personally and I heard what Millikan said as I was sitting only a few feet from him at the scorers table. Tom Weil Madam Editor: With the beginning of the second term there undoubtedly are many students who will re peat courses- that they failed last term. I believe that any student who fails a course should be required to drop that course and take some other course. Why should the student be required to take what he does not want? If the student is in terested in a course, he will not fail it. It seems to be the de termination of the faculty at the University of North Carolina that the sutdent should take, or rather should endure, every thing that he does not want instead of what he does want. It never occurs to the faculty that the student is spending his own money and is entitled to a square deal. He is not getting a square deal when he spends over half his time and money on what is absolutely useless. And there are many c&urses at the Uni versity of North Carolina that are nothing but a waste of the student's time and what - is usually somebody else's hard earned money. Of course, anyone who has been to college knows that col lege is operated for the benefit of the faculty, not for the bene fit of the students. The chief function of the faculty is to look out for the' faculty. We must admit that the faculty looks out for the faculty. There never was an institution that was not operated primarily as a social security, system for the faculty and not as an educa tional institution for the cash customers. It is a sorry situation when a student has to take a course that he does not want just, because a . teacher has to have students ih his classes. The faculty regards the student as a sucker to be exploited just as the faculty sees fit. The faculty has' absolutely no regard for the TODAY IF ...HA LM"1" AS IA-M" . MM M !

The elective system should prevail one hundred percent at the "University of North Caro lina. Only, under the elective system is the student assured of justice. Also, the elective system would change the attitude of many teachers. Teachers would realize that the student does not have to endure any course that is not wanted. This would change the situa tion in that supreme stupidity of them all, languages. There has never been anything to the study of language; there is nothing to the study of language; there never will be anything" to -the study of language. If the student sat in the' classroom and stared straight up at the ceiling an hour each day, he would be doing something just as worthwhile as studying that absurdity. Yet the faculty at the University of North Carolina is quite willing to impose on the student and require this langu age stupidity. By all means language should be made elective. Making it elective would change the atti tude of certain teachers who don't show the proper gratitude to their mealticket. The elective system should prevail from beginning to end. That is the only fair way to, 'treat the cash customers. If any person can show that I am wrong, I wish that person would do sot Charles A. Duval Central X. M. C. A. Richmond, Va.
