A Legal D
We did not hold our breath over the recent Law School
Association referendum. We figured it was something they,
could settle for themselves without advice from this quarter
The quandry over whether or not to hold a dance in the
Spring did not seem to be an insoluable problem, and its
resolution either way did not seem to us to be of immediate
import, great as the implication might have been for society-at-large.
We pretty much agreed with the Supreme Court of the
United States that there is a vast difference a constitutional
difference between enforced segregation and individual dis
crimination. .
Incidentally, we saw that the IDC and various other groups
on campus will face the same problem in the months to come.
... a problem they should decide for themselves.
Now, authoritarianism has once again stepped in. Chancel
lor Robert House has relayed a Board of Trustees regulation
forbidding unsegregated social affairs on this campus. And
the automatic response from the Durham attorney that this
means a legal suit is just one of the obvious results.
Another is that the rights of students are again in danger, -for
the simple right to hold a social gathering has been denied.
If the affair should reach the courts (surely this University
could not be so stupid twice), with the inevitable national pub
licity, there is little doubt -about the outcome.
There is a vast difference a constitutional difference?
between "we don't wish to," and "you cannot."
Wake Up D
O
Two year's work may go down the drain because of a lack
of initiative on the leaders of two dormitories and consequent
stoppage of a follow through program by the University ad
ministration. Here's the point: In 1950 when housing and enrollment
figures began to look normal again, the Interdprmitory Coun
cil and the Dean of Students started thinking about reopening
of social rooms. In 1951, plans turned into action with the
opening of "B" (now Connor) dorm social room complete vvith
$1,000 equipment and decorated with the help of residents.
Following this, other social rooms and the old cubby holes
with fireplaces in the lower quad were opened. : ' i
Now it is January, 1952. "B" dorm social room is flourish
ing. A party with coeds is held about twice a month. "There
are always people using the room," says one resident. "We
study, relax, read, and play cards," he added. To make things ,
even better, residents contribute their magazines to the room
after they have finished reading them. Pictures are rented
every quarter to decorate the walls. .
Meanwhile, "A" (now Winston) and "C" (now Joyner) look
like barren furniture storage halls. Both dorms have the same
facilities. Both have partitions for two separate social rooms
and the same possibilities that Connor has. It is reported the
Joyner dorm council decided to buy a television set with $2Q0 ;V
resting in the treasury. We think that's fine. It isn't , our
money but when the whole dorm situation may be at stake,
we think it advisable to help or offer to decorate thesocial
room first. ':':-.'.-";i-'S. .. ; V 7 y.Kr:tixi '
With the Joyner and Winston councils and the; campus
IDC helping, the men could E the University (Director of
Operations J. S. Bennett, anS Dean of Students WeaveV);'see)
if funds are available fdf the complete furnishing (more lamps,
ashtrays are needed) and ; then suggest they would "biijf and

Not only are the Joyner and Winston social rooms in
jeopardy. Any possible aid in making the upper quad cubby
holes larger by enlarging the rooms, using basement storage
;rooms for ping pong rooms, and opening up recreation rooms
inpld East, Old West, Steele, B-V-P, and the upper quad, will
jbo out of the question.. y

Lenoir Hall is on the carpet
again. Each year about this time
students who can' take it any
more start the rumblings that
usually break into "investiga
tions" of the University's busiest
dining, hall.
Last year it- was the cost of
food.' After some investigations
and counter-investigations the
price of potatoes was cut two
cents per serving.
But it is not the cost that is
. bothersome now, becan; of an
additional rise in the COL. Le
noir is still the cheapest p.aee
in town (pun intended) to eat;
it's the damned poor service that
gets us down. Let's take a con
crete example today for in
stance. .

The big question is "Will Tur

of course, Mrs. Truman knows;
Until the Democratic Party
knows the President's decision
there is little need to. speculate
on possible Democratic hopefuls.
Some of Tennessee's Senator
Kef auver's friends, seem over
anxious and there is some talk
that Chief Justice Vinson is "the
man. Despite his. popularity
Senator" Kef auver is from the
South and this must be reckoned
with. The Chief Justice just
doesn't have a "presidential" ap
pearance. And most good Demo
crats are hoping that the Presi
dent will run. There is certainly
no doubt that the nomination
awaits his asking and only in
pessimistic quarters is there any
doubt that he can beat anyone
the Republicans have, for they

Letters To
Madam Editor, -As
exchange editor of the MA
ROON I have occasion to read
the Tar Heel and find it both
interesting and independent. Its
liberal editorial position is un
common in college newspapers,
especially southern papers, who
are controlled somewhat more
than their northern brothers by
their respective schools.
What prompted this missive,
however, is your editorial of Jan
uary 12, relating to our peculiar
situation. I do not speak official
ly for the MAROON by any
means, and I am not even sure
that my views are those of the
majority on the staff. But in
mine own humble opinion, this
particular editorial, while ex
cellent in its purpose that of
speaking out for freedom of the
press misapplied Mr. Hutchins'
remarks. Hutchins meant that
UC would never kick a student
out of school for his political
beliefs that communist or fas
cist, students would be allowed
to remain in school regardless
of their political, activities. That
doctrine is, I believe, still being
followed. -. 1
Kimmel, the MAROON's for
mer editor, was ousted as editor
he was not thrown out of
school. Later on, as it turned
out, Kimmel was not allowed to
register this, however, because
of low grades.
It is an established fact that
his grades were low enough to
- warrant kicking him out of
school.
Of course, in Kimmel's case
the dean . of the particular de
partment that kicked him out
, was. not obligated to do so. But
I think we can safely discount
the possibility of political per
secution because Kimmel at the
time had already been deposed
as editor and was no longer eli
gible even for a position asari
ordinary reporter. Kimmel spent
a considerable amount of time
traveling . through Europe, and
probably spent much more than
that in political activities at
home. Engagement in politics of
that sort, above (or beneath, if
you hate reds) ordinary, petty
student politics demands much
of an individual's time and at-1
tention. The cjean must have felt
that Kimmel would not have the
time to do an effective job of
what he ha!d missed.ls doeinV

luctantly fading away -"Old Re
publicans never die, they're just
voted away."
" Republican hopefuls, include
just about every Republican one
sees. Some of the better known
include Robert .A. Taft, Harold
Stassen, Earl Warren, and of
course the man whom some Re
publicans hope is a , hopeful,
Dwight D. Eisenhower. To Sen
ator Taft goes the best wishes
of- the Democratic Party. His
nomination would assure a Dem
ocratic victory. Stassen and War
ren will split the liberal (if there
is such) element of the GOP thus
throwing the nomination to the
Ohio Senator. As for Eisenhower,
he himself doesn't know if he
is a Republican, Democrat or
what. And too, Generals seem
to be adept at "fading away."
Come to the CPU Sunday night
at 8 o'clock in the Grail Roois
The Editor
was fired as editor by the Uni
versity dean of students, while
it was the dean of the school of
geography that refused Kimmel
permission to register. The dean
of students so far has been the
only administration man openly
taking action concerning the
MAROON.
Although freedom for the in
dividual to participate in the org
anization of his choice in the
manner he chooses has been giv
en a setback, " an individual's
status as a student still remains
inviolate, in my opinion. There
fore your Hutchins quote, while
definitely related to the problem
of academic freedom, does not
apply to this particular case. We
have not yet adopted the Mc
Carthyistic doctrine of guilt by
association, although there are
some indications that we may do
so in the future. However, it will
be the distant future, when the
rest of the country has succomb-
ed to the influences of the man
from Wisconsin, and even the
once-proud stronghold of aca
demic freedom, the University of
Chicago, is no longer able to
stand against it. x
Incidentally, we prefer to be
known as the University of
Chicago. Any MAROON staffer
referring to our institution" as
"Chicago University" would be
-instantly dismissed from the pa
per, and the dismissal would al
most certainly be confirmed by
the requisite two-thirds vote of
the staff.
Hoping I've split the hair sat

MAROON exchange editor
