LETTERS
Madam Editor:
Congratulations-to the Daily
Tar Heel and to Mr. Dick Mur
phy for their clear and definite
stand on the "big issue of today."
It isn't often that any paper will
definitely state what their policy
is on any controversial issue,
so I take my hat off to you, Miss
Harden, and the members of he
staff, for letting your readers
know where they stand on this
problem that threatens to shake
the American educational sys
tem off its foundations.
This isn't the first time that
" a -question of this nature has
been annoying people. As far
back as Aristotle, at least, phil
osophers have been attempting
to resolve the question of ethical
standards vs self-protection, and
no one has been able to come
up with a solution that will
satisfy everyone.
Basically, it boils down to
this: should one do what is
"right"-although harmful to him
self, or should he do what is
"wrong" in order to protect him
self? "Right" here means ac
cording to ethical or moral stan
dards, and "wrong" is 'inter
preted as meaning against these
standards. The U.S. had this
problem in the late 30's and
early 40's. Jit being against our
standards to commit aggressive
act against foreign nations, what
were we to do when our country
was threatened by one or more
of these powers? Should we
strike them first, thereby pro
tecting ourselves but repudiat
ing our ethics, or uphold OSr
ethics and let the chips fall
where they might? Here we
took a course best satisfying
both courses, upholding . our
ethics to the point of not start
ing actively into combat, but
preparing ourselves for defense
in he event that aggression
against us took place. ,
The present-day situation is
similar to that of the past de
' cade. Whether to uphold our
ethics and allow, subversive ac
tivities to bring about possible
economic and political ruin, or
to, say "Ethics be damned!" and
use forceful means of defense
that is the question. Here the
problem is complicated , by the
addition of a new factor. If we
go full-speed ahead for force
ful defense, not only are we
placing aside our own standards,
but, far worse, we are making
use o fthe standards of the
enemy, defeating our goal be
fore we get started.
In a' quandry like this, how
can one expect not to make mis
takes, inflict harm on some
peaceful citizens, and allow sub
versive organizations to under
mine our basic freedoms. This
situation calls for a policy out
lined by the greatest minds
available, and for a Chief Exe
cutive with a firm hand who can
put. that policy into action with
out losing any libidinization of
the- people, that he had pre
viously acquired. Let us all do
our best to: find such a man,
vote for and elect him to trie
effice of President of the United
States, and then we might, if
all gees well, be able to protect
ourselves and our e'.hics at the
same time.!
Morning In Yellow-Orange
e views And Previews
"Morning In Yellow-Orange"
by AgnarMykle is undoubtedly
the Carolina Playmakers finest
experimental production in at
least the "past two years This
"jocular fantasy on a macabre
theme" played to packed houses
with resounding success for its
two performances, March 6 and
7. 1 . .. ; -
The play deals with the hil
arious reactions and events of
Judgment Day in New" York
City. In a skillful blending of
satire and good fun, Agnar My
kle has created all the confus
ion and uproar attendant on
such a day, including everything
from dinosaurs to human be
ings, resurrected and roaming!
naked through the streets. Even
the author himself gets into the
act both as an interloper in the
action and narrator to the audi
ence. .
Despite an overly-long first
act, a rather risque scene, and
some extraneous" moralizing at
the end, the play writing is quite
good. The experiment comes off.
The characterization is not very
deep since a farce-fantasy .makes
no real demands for such. The
play's biggest shortcoming is the
loosely constructed main plot of
the Steadman couple; however,
its ineffectiveness is more than
compensated for by the extreme
ly humorous scenes incident to.
the. main, line of action, as the
undertaker and the two soldiers.
A wonderful sense of humor
coupled with a talent for keen,
penetrating satire are Mykle's
finest attributes and his scenes
are at their best when these are
put to use.
Clyde Gore as Professor Mer-
ritt, walked away with the act
ing honors in a remarkably fine
performance.
