Know Thy Neighbor;
A poll was recently; taken to test American college stu
dents on their knowledge of international affairs and current
events. Twenty-eight per cent thought Norway was behind
the Iron Curtain. Fifteen per cent listed Spain as a communist
country and one student claimed "The forces of Iranian
Premier Mossadegh should be withdrawn from Formosa."
On a blank map of the Vorld, one graduate student placed
Bulgaria slightly north of Canada while three girls decided
Uruguay was either "in Europe of Sweden."
This astounding lack of international awareness is a barrier
of considerable magnitude in the path of our diplomatic
struggle for the minds of men.
Here on campus the Cosmopolitan Club and the YMCA
are fighting gallantly to slash through this jungle of mis
understanding. The Y sponsors regular Monday evening sup
per forums in Lenoir Hall where the people, customs,, and
politics of various nations "are discussed by natives and per
sons familiar with the country. The Cosmopolitan Club wel
comes all foreign and Amreican students to its Sunday after
noon meetings in the Rendezvous Room.
We salute both organzations for working to bridge a vital
gap in our academic curricula.

The ; previous column having
distributed bouquets, this one is
reserved for a few good ideas
that didn't pan out. - '
Biggest news story , on the
fraternity -front this past year
was " the abolition and recru
descence of hazing.. Just a year
ago a mild bill to investigate
this subject was howled by the
UP-controlled "Legislature, yet
the pressure for, reform was so
great that within a few months
the 1FC was' formally "on record
for. a respectable program to re- -
place an ancient evil.
Unhappily, the first case that
arose under the new. policy
backfired. This was an embar
rassing retrogression for those,
of us who had hoped that at
last ' real progress was being
made. ? .; " 7 v
We were reminded that after
a student was killed in a hazing
incident here in 1913, the State
Legislature outlawed hazing (a
matter the" administration has
elected to overlook for the past-thirty-nine
years), and that the -Student
Council again outlawed
it in 1936 (a matter subsequent
campus judiciaries seem also to
have overlooked.)
Neither the IFC nor the
Men's Council has shown the
initiative or the courage 1 to
tackle the problem in earnest. If
the students, or the administra-
tion, or. the law enforcement of-.,
ficers' could ever get stirred up;'

the Di Senate debate on segre
gation. A bold stand on princi
ple was quickly explained away
when questioned by a trustee
who frowned upon the views
expressed.
This and a similar interven
tion at State College by another
trustee made brief news and
elicited reactions from Presi
dent Gray and eventually , the
Board itself. What looked for a
moment like " an impending vol
canic eruption then terminated
in a low sizzle
Final fizzle was the Party
with a Program. In the spring
elections it w a s established
clearly that a constructive pro-
gram is a poor, -defense, against
'a clever slogan: Negativism and

It seems that no matter where
one goes these days he will run
up against "The Heiress" sooner
or later. It is not that I dislike
the Ruth and Augustus Goetz
play, it is just that after having
seen the original production,
the movie, and the Barter The
atre production here last year, I
was a little wary about seeing
yet another production of it
over the weekend by the Dur
ham Theatre Guild.
The play concerns a young
woman whose only attribute on
the surface is her sizeable bank
account. Her father, who Wor
ships the memory of the girl's
deceased mother, makes this
point clear to everyone, includ
ing the heiress herself. When a
fortune hunter proposes to . the
willing girl, her father threat
ens to cut her off from her
inheritance, thus scaring the
suitor away and depriving the
heiress of her only chance for
happiness. The girl increases in
stature, so that after the father
dies and the boy returns to her,
she leaves him pounding on the
door, as she walks into a life of
pinsterhood.
Considering the poor facilities
of the gymnasium in. which it
was performed, the production
' was more than adequate. Chuck
; Kellogg's direction brought out
most of the inherent dramatic
values of the play. I thought it
' somewhat stilted, but this was
undoubtedly due to the limita
tions presented by the arena
style in which the show was
presented. The set and costum
ing were both good, but the -lighting,
"of which there was
very little, was abominable.
The performances showed
-varying degrees of quality, with
a few showing no quality what
soever. Anne Miller, Carolina
. coed, stood out as a star among
a group of amateurs. - This
young actress has had no real
opportunity to show her mettle
here in Chapel Hill, where she
is a member of the Play makers.
However, in Durham, in a part
demanding v- difficult character
; transitions, she was superb.
Her acting, particularly in the
scene in which she. is jilted and
the final scene in which she
turns her - back on her lover,
was masterful. Now, however,
we come to a far different per
formance, if one can really call
it such. It is my earnest opinion
that Colonel Marshall Barnum,
who "played" the father, should--.-
stick to the Air Force and leave
acting alone. As . a would-be
actor myself, it is inconceivable
to me how anyone could get as
far as the actual performance of
a play and know not more than
Jialf of his dialogue, and yet
that is exactly' what he did.
Even the lines he remembered

Express Yourself
Editor:
The -current controversy -over
the spoils of the iJwk exchange
reminds one of the situation In
which th$ members ca family
squabble over the division of
profits made. by a fellow-member,
dealing in the economic
" shadows. Eager to get their
clutches on some of the loot,
they choose to ignore the means
by which it was accumulated in
the first place. -
The profit system used by the
book exchange, while probably
adhering to establish business
practices, is nevertheless not to
the best interest of the student.
Fonthe student is not a wage
earner engaging in economic
competition and should not be
treated as such by an ultra
monopoly campus business.
There are many students on
this campus who came for the
sole purpose of getting an edu
cation, students who have
neither a book of signed checks
nor a convertible. The book ex

The .students and townspeople
who : came- over to Graham
Memorial the other Sunday af
ter Senator Paul Douglas'
speech were in for a refreshing
surprise. The liberal Illinois
Democrat, settled comfortably
in a great chair at the far end
; of the main lounge, answered
candidly all the questions pop
ped at him.
Sipping occasionally from a
Dixie cup,- Senator Douglas
smiled and chatted freely, just
as if it were a group of close
friends in his own home. He
told of how he got started in
politics as a Chicago alderman,
scored the big pay given for
armed forces hazardous duty,
and freely; gave opinions on the
presidential race and the issue

nightmares. Some of those fi
nancial delinquents are well in
. to a course of study before they
can afford a text book. Others
find it necessary to search the
shelves for the most dilapidated
copies because they are cheap
er. Still others have repeatedly
gone without needed meals in
order to save money for books!
It seems to me, President
Elect Ham Horton,' et al, that
instead of wrangling for a rake
off to be doled out by the Stu-
. dent Legislature (which,- inci
dentally, would not ease the
above cited situations), you
might question the moral justi
fication of the idle profits to
begin with. Your efforts to help
the student might carry more
conviction and elicit greater
support if you'd direct your
energies oward reducing the
cost of books and supplies at
the source, and in easing the
burden of exorbitant manager
ial salaries.
