Elections were, held yesterday, in case you missed it. In
spite of the frantic appeals of The Daily Tar Heel, candidates
pid parties to vote, all of us didn't exercise that right.
Even so as this was written yesterday afternoon, all signs
were pointing toward a . record vote. Some of the votes were
illegitimate: at least two people were allowed to vote with
driver's licenses, contrary to the elections laws there may
have been many more; many women voted at the wrong poll
no one asked them where they lived; one 1949 graduate
was challenged .s he tried to vote with a 1949 I.D. card; and
one student bragged that he was voting with four old I. D.
cards of his own.: ' ' . - , :
But surely there were few' of these incidents, and it is to
be hoped that no one was sufficiently disturbed to question
the election results on; the. basis of them.. Plain ordinary igno
rance will account for a certain number of such incidents,
and so many will happen in every election.
There were also some compulsory votes, but presumably
these votes were legal, if irresponsible, as forced votes must
-be. -'
Whatever the makeup of the balloting, and whatever the
outcome of the elections, all signs yesterday pointed to a
extraordinarily large vote a happy event. v-
Elections meant little to most people a few minutes out
of -the day. to vote, perhaps casual conversation as to merits
of candidates, a 1 or $5 fine for a few fraternity men . . .
The same casual students will perhaps be more interested
next Fall, when a publication is cut in size, or responsible
agencies fail to produce lectures and entertainers, or some
guy elected 'to represent them voices an opinion with which
they disagree. -
To those who missed out the run-off election is scheduled
for next week. . '
Open
H'ea
! Trials of criminal cases are held in open court. Practically
every body agrees this is the way it should be.
.But Grand Jury-investigations are conducted in secret.
Up to now at least practically everybody has agreed that this
is-the way it should be. ; :"f "... ':; ' -
t But our congressional committees in performing the func
tions: of a grand: jury in crime probes, of recent years have
conducted tlieir investigations as open and widely publi
cized affairs. Is there enough difference between ordinary
grand,-jury investigations and Congressional probes of gambl
ing, vice, and other crime to justify the different approach?
There is not, says THE JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN
JUDICATURE SOCIETY.
THE" JOURNAL, states that anybody who has ever done
any kind' of investigating knows that it is an expected and
inevitable part of the job that many fruitless endeavors will
oe undertaken and false leads pursued. The sacred secrecy
of grand jury preceedings is predicted upon the urgent neces
sity of . protecting the good name and reputation of the many
innocent persons who must be questioned and who may at
Dne time qr another through no fault of their own be under
suspicion before all the facts are ascertained and the truly
.guilty, detected. y
"The spectacle of witness after witness being skillfully and
elentlessly questioned in typical grand jury fashion about
suspected criminal activities not only of other people, but of
himself as well,- not behind the closed doors of a grand jury
room but in a crowded auditorium before microphone and
camera, with 30,000,000 people hanging on his every word, is
something," writes THE JOURNAL, "to give pause to every!

Previews
Unless there is an earthquake
or a fire, Thursday, -you will
at last get a chance to seeGian
Carlo Menotti's "The Medium".
I was exposed to a certain
amount of kidding from those,
people who awaited the show
ing of the same film, some
weeks ago. This time, much, to
the seeming displeasure of the
projectionist at the theater, I
personally viewed the reels of
the film, in order to insure this
column, and to save my face.
The film was made in Rome,
the original background of the
play, due to the insistence of
Menotti, himself. Marie Powers,
recreating her great Broadway
stage role, and Leo Coleman,
tht dancer from the same pro
duction lead the impressive
cast, with the appearance of
young Anna Marie Alberghet
ti as a great added attraction
highlighting a fine film.
Mme. Flora the medium,
according to her sign outside
her slum tenement, . is a spirit
ualistic consultant, psychic
reader, and expert in ectoplas
mic phenomena. With seances
envolving excited parents, the
cries of a baby, and a strange
hand clutching the throat of
Mme. Flora, the film progresses
nicely with theme being heigh
tened with the excellent music.
To prevent your, doing an in
justice to the film, as I did,
, here are the feature starting
times at the Varsity Theater for
The Medium": 1:00, 2:46,4.32,
6:10, 8:04, and 9:50 p. m.
Madam Editor:
It has come to the . attention
of us, residents of Emerson
Stadium, that Caldwell "X" is
more than a place of scholarly
: pursuits.; Last evening as we
were enjoying the pleasures pe
culiar to Emerson Stadium, a
crowd began to gather on the
; street between Emerson Sta-
dium and the Law Building; the
crowd moved between' the" Law
Building and the R.- X T. C.
building in the direction of.
Caldwell "X".
When we saw the object (or
objects) which so cornered the
attention of such a crowd (ap
proximately 200 persons), the
mystery unfolded.. Inside one
of the rooms ( a well-lighted
room at that) were two people
obviously engaged; in re-acting;
one of the love scenes from
"Romeo and Juliet". After many
tender and affectionate em
braces, the crowd (lovers of
art) could no longer suppress
its enthusiasm and -broke out in
a spontaneous applause. The
two inside (one male and one
female I should add) immedi
ately responded to the applause,
took slight bows, and gave each
pther a slight embrace as an
encore. The curtain went down
i the crowd dispersed.
Now we of Emerson Stadium
are hot adversely critical of
such carryings-on. We do not
know the names of the two
principals, but we are ssure that
a minimum f of effort on your
part would discover them,

What Others
"It is argued that the Fein
berg law and the rules promul
gated thereunder constitute an
abridgement of speech and as
sembly of persons employed or
seeking employment in the
public schools of the state of
New York. It is clear that such
persons have the right under
our laws Ito assemble, speak,
think and believe as they will.
It is equally clear that they
have no right to work for the.
state in the school system of
their own terms.
They may work for the school
system" upon the reasonable
terms laid down by the proper
authorities of New York. If
they do hot choose to work on
such terms, they are at liberty
to retain their beliefs and their
associations and go elsewhere.
Has the state thus deprived
them of any right to free speech
or assembly? We think not.'
"A teacher works in a sen
sitive area in the school room.
There he shapes the attitude of
youn minds toward the society
in which they live. In this the
state has a vital concern. That
the school authorities have the
right and duty to screqn the
officials, teachers and employees
as to their fitness to maintain
the integrity, of the schools as
a part of ordered society can
not be doubted. One's associ
ates, past and present, as well
as one's conduct, may properly
be considered in determining
fitness and loyalty. From time
immemorial one's reputation
has been determined in part by
the company one keeps. In the
employment ' of officials and
teachers of the school system
the state may very . properly
inquire into the company they
keep and we know of no rule,
constitutional or otherwise, that
prevents the state, when deter

Letter to Editor .
To the Editor:
Now that President Harry. S.
Truman has announced that he
will not run again, I want to
suggest that we nominate and
elect Evangelist W, F. (Billy)
Graham President of the United
x States and elect at least - one
hundred advisors like Governor
W. Kerr Scott, Jonathan Dan.
iels, Evangelist 'M. F. Ham,
Evangelist Charles E. Ruffin of
California, Dr. Charles E. Jor
dan of Duke University, Her
bert C. Hoover, J. Edgar, Hoover,
. and the other like men and
women, then we. could soon
-"have a temperance and peaceful
nation and we could reduce our
taxes and not have AEG liquor
stores or war.
By nominating and electing
about half of the hundred men
and women, good Democrats
and the other half good Repub
licans we would have an ad
visory board that any president
would like to have for his ad
visers. Then Evangelist Billy,
Graham could spend four years
t preaching, the gospel and- let
these 100 fine men and women
plan for him to run our nation
al government and at the end
of four years I will be glad to
succeed Graham and let him- go
all over the world preaching
the gospel and I could then .get
over one hundred and fifty
thousand good men and women
. as my advisers to advise me
how to be the best President
that America has ever known.

A description of what cara
vaning is and what a caravaner
docs can express only poorly and
inadequately the true richness
of the experience jand no matter
what glowing terms we use to
tell others about caravaning they
.always fall short of what it
really means to people who have
the experience. - '
One reason it is so hard to
describe is that you can never
catch the spirit in words alone.
The feeling of being apart of
something, as big and wonderful
as the caravan movement has
become in the Christian churches
in the last few years. The clo
ness of people of similar purpose
and aim which crosses many
other barriers.
Another reason for the diffi
culty is that Caravaning is
never the same for any two peo
ple or for the same person in
a different veekt There are al
most never two situations simi
lar oy, an approach that will
oik twice. Yes, flexibility is
the key note of good caravaning.
"Do you want to spend the
summer of a lifetime"; this was
the first publicity we received
about caravaning and in a sence
it expressed the way we felt.
At the end of the summer we had
indeed had an experience of a
lifetime, ,
