It is a well-known fact among legal circles that the best
way possible of getting a defendent off scott-free on any
charge is to delay a case until witnesses have forgotten the
facts, the public is indifferent to the outcome, and any dam
ages can be taken care of.
This apparently is the tactic being employed by the Uni:
versity administration in the recent accusations against a Uni
versity employee of personal and private use of University
materials and labor. - - . -
The Orange County grand jury, foremanned by University
director of admissions Roy Armstrong, turned the matter over
to the University for investigation, instead of finding a bill of
indictment, which they were empowered to doT or of declar
ing that there was no true bill to be found, which they were
also empowered to do.
The University "investigation", so far as newsmen are able
to discover, is either non-existent or still going on in utmost
secrecy. Hie University is supposed to report by March, when
the Jury will meet again. -
Inasmuch as the University is presently unwilling to state
how jnuch, if any, progress is being made in investigating the
misuse of its own materials, and unwilling to state when, if
ever, its "report will be ready for the grand jury, it seems con
delaying action.
ceivable to us that the University is using a highly successful
The matter is out of the public print, simply because there
is nothing to report, and is therefore out of the public con
ciousness. '
Should the 'grand jury see fit in March to give the Uni
versity more time for investigation, in the event that the in
vestigation is incomplete, the affair may be successfully de
layed until there can be no fair trial.
Possibly the delay has already been that successful.
Madam Editor:
This rag you call a paper
would lven be a poor substitute
for a Sears Roebuck catalog "in
its usual place." This conclusion
was arrived at after reading J. B.
Stroup's review on the Longines
Symphonette. You could prob
ably use Piastra's "G" ' string to
cover the amount of knowledge
the writer has concerning good ,.
music.
Instead of increasing the size
of the Daily Tar Heel, why not
cut it . to the size of the
newstand "quickie" including
only the crossword puzzle and
LU Abner comic strip?

Tar On My Heels
"If they want tp live in hog
pens, lei them live in hogpens.
Such is the attitude of the ad
ministration in regard to the
dorms.
And live in hogpens we do, or
at least the distinction is so
small I would be splitting hairs
to point out the difference be
tween some of the dorms and
the pen of a self respecting hog.
Sitting in my dormitory room
in Aycock, I can look out the
door and see a hall floor that
reminds me of the sidewalk up
town with the exception r that
the sidewalks uptown are neater
looking. The cement floor of the
halls in lower quad show signs
of once having been painted,
but- it has been so long since
this happened that the cement
would look better had it never
been painted.
It must have been just as
long ago since the walls of this
dorm were painted. I think the
color was once tan a color that
adds nothing in cheeriness, but
now I guess the color would be
called grey.
Tonight when I retire I will
sleep on a four-legged iron
squeek-box. I'll guarantee that
not one of those four legs are
the same length. All night, with
my every move, one or more of
the . legs will fly up into the air
while the others come down
from the air to rest on the floor.
One night I'm going to make
a wrong move and two legs will
by up and the other two won't
by down and there I'll be.
This isn't the worst dorm on
campus, either. Sure the newer
dorms are better, but compared
with tipper quad and the older
dorms, lower quad fairs rather
! But apparently all the Uni
'. versity is interested in is putting
up a good front. As long as the
'outside looks allright, thati is
&11 that matters. That is true
Oven for the classrooms. Look at
Irphy, Saunders, and Caldwell
CS3 they look O. K. on the out
but a different story is
'iJ. 'when one looks on , the
inside,
No, we don't want to live in a
hogpen. What other choice do
we have?
Madam Editor:
What does J. B. Stroup (rhym
es with goop?) expect the
, Philarmonic? The Longines Sym
phonette is tops in its class, but
it takes over a hundred pieces to
play the high and mighty Mr.
Stroup's brand of music. I en
joy my classical music and gen
uinely appreciated last Thurs
day's concert. If more of my
block fees were put to similar
, use, instead of paying for the
' printing of the petty cynicism of
. a half-baked critic, I'd be a great
deal happier. Why slap down
this first noble attempt at good
orchestral music?
Sir, if the Longines Symphon
ette is inadequate for you may I
recommend that you dig a lit
tle hole, carry your record play
er into it, listen to Walter and
Ormandy conducting, and spend
your time constructively count
ing grains of sand.
John M. Guilbert
Probably the Symphonette) or
a program by the Choraliers) is
better . than nothing. Possibly
Longines was better than some
thing. Could be the concert was
better than anything. A review
is a review -is a reviewer's opi
nions . . and disagreement is
inevitable and pointless, unless
we may construe these opinions
as offers to do some reviews. x-

A local student was in class
this week busily working a
Daily Tar Heel cross-word
puzzle.
The professor called on him to
answer a question. The student
had no idea of the subject under
discussion. - , - s
Immediately, his friends sit
ting on either side of hira began
coaching.
"What's holding you up?"
asked the professor. "You
ought to know the answer with
all your friends' advice."
"Well." replied the student,
"there doesn't seem to be any
consensus of opinion."
