And they want more .. .
More than the $100,00 donated by alumni and friends to
further the athletic cause and athletic policy here. More money
for more athletes and money out of the Book X profits.
The Daily Tar Heel does not understand the rieed for more
money for ahletes, especially money from the University of
North Carolina at Chapel Hill, when friends and alumni have
been kind enough to launch and maintain a huge athletic
program. Why break a Carolina tradition? Let's keep the pol
icy of having the University take care of the academic end of
scholarship programs Chancellor House's statement. "No a
cent of these funds comes from University appropriations, stu
dent fees or athletic gate receipts." is somehing we would like
to ihear three months from now.
The book exchange profits are not earmarked for athletic
scholarships. There is $100,000 for athletes coming, from the
"Educational" foundation. Let .those who need it most get
the profits under the grants-in-aid program. Incidentally, ath
letes aren't disqualified from grants-in-aid and scholarships,
programs. (They merely have to compete ith others.)
.
Anybody who knows much about football has known that
UNC enthusiasts have paid their athletes well. The Chancel
lor's report, however, is startling because of the upper finan
cial hand athletes have over non-athletes:
That is a two-to-one ratio in finances and a four-to one
ratio in numbers. '
Chancellor House has recognized the need for more en
dowed scholarships. He points out that UNC is indeed grate
ful to John Motley Morehead for providing a tremendous
scholarship program for graduates and undergraduates (high
school seniors will be interviewed in March for the scholar
ships). Morehead has been a consistent and beloved benefactor
of the Univrsity. His contributions in the scholarship field
have made and will make the University a greater school. This
new program, amounting to about $300,000 a year will make
the athletic program look like chicken feed.
What The Daily Tar Heel wants to know is why isn't their
more emphasis on the real and basic program of the Univer
sity, the thing that is supposed to make us distinct from the
technical school at Raleigh, and Greensboro.
What kind of financial program has been launched for the
liberal arts and humanities phase of the University? Funds
come in for athletics; monies pour in for; new business build
ings, new medical schools, salaries for dental professors, and
other professional programs. The annual alumni giving pro
gram which goes into affect this year is a step in the right
direction to aid liberal arts, but is it enough?
The people of the State need to know that the University
is more than just a football university or a vocational labora
tory. It is more than just a basketball, tennis, swimming, track,
or even lacrosse University. It is a way of life, an educational
center in the real sense of the word, a training ground for
future leaders. .
It is much easier to sell football or basketball than social
research or a chair in oriental history. Yet, surely, that is what
the University must do if it is to have an educational policy.
The figures show a need for more academic scholarships.
The University has sold its athletic program.
It is time to secure "millions for academics but not one
cent for athletics."
Wecome, Mrs. Roosevelt
A former first lady visits the campus today to talk about
the USA's part in the United Nations.
Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt has appeared here as a Weil lec
turer, as the 1935 graduation speaker and as a guest on other
occasions. The Daily Tar Heel welcomes her once again.
Interest in the UN has been more than mild here. There
is a move afoot to create a campus-ized mock UN Assembly.
The Phi Assembly plans to bring an arch foe of the United
Nations as a speaker here soon. Whether you think that the
UN is the best agericy to secure world peace, whether you
think that the UN is stealing American sovereignty, or wheth
er you are perplexed, Mrs. Roosevelt's talk should be enlight
ening and is worthy of your attendance.

The fundamental and most per
sonal freedom of Americans is the
right to political and spiritual
heresy. We may agree or disagree
with majority views and govern
ment. If we disagree, we may viol
ently criticise the popular views
and the existing government, and
we may advocate and endorse the
most eccentric political and re
ligious heresies.
Yet there are no Constitutional
grounds for Communism and Com
munists in America, and should
not be.
This seeming contradiction
that we Americans have the right
to be political heretics but not
Communists ".is easily resolved.
Communism is not a heresy. It is
an out and out conspiracy. If Com
munism only advocated its system
of government economics, it too
would be a mere heresy. But this
is not the case. Communism, in
contrast to other heresies, does
not compete fairly in the free
market of ideas. Instead it openly
conspires to use any means, any
lies, any deception to hurry the
rise and spread of Communism
and to bring about what they call
"the inevitable downfall of Cap
italism" (Western democracy).
Quite boldly they plot to over
throw all non-communist govern
ments. There is no compromise.
They deny the very right we have
already deemed fundamental the
right to political heresy. There is
no way out for the Communist,
except by revolt. He cannot
change his mind or criticise or
advocate change. Communism al
lows no minority rights, no Con
stitutional means to change the
type, or personnel, of government.
He is hopelessly enslaved to what
ever program, whichever direction
the Communist regime moves.
Briefly that is why we are
against Communism. It violates
our basic concepts of freedom and
contradicts our value and respect
for the individual.
kDorman Cordell-
The Square
Wheel
Lo, brethren, woe is upon me.
There are awful rumors going
around that a movement is afoot
to replace the square wheel with
a round one in Chapel Hill. And
you know what that would do
to the deah old traditions of
Chapel Hill. Ah, woe is us!
Just look about you. Think of
the atmosphere we have by pre
serving the good , old days intact.
You can remember it when you
walk down our dirt sidewalks.
And when you sink in mud up
to your elbows, or fall into one
of those gullies which are too
deep to climb out of, sing the
praises of the status quo. Any
how, don't you think it will de
velop your feet to get all those
pebbles in your shoes when you
walk down the sidewalk?
Those terrible advocates of
modernism just haven't looked at
our beautiful traditions or they
couldn't possibly want to institute
that nasty old round wheel and
upset everything. ;
After all, we've done our darn
dest to keep the colonial atmos
phere. The town fathers have de
creed that all commercial con
cerns shall be built on a colonial
style of architecture. Now this
appeals to everybody, even if it
does cost a few thousand extra
dollars to build a building this
way. After all, it's only money.
Then we have done our best to
preserve our deah old well. The
only thing is, it isn't quite in its
old form. Some radical did away
with the hog wallow that was
there after that scabby little re
bellion about 90 years ago, and
they have taken down the old
oaken bucket. You see, that's the
kind of thing these irresponsible
Innovations are likely to bring
about.
And there are other deah old
traditions of Chapel Hill which
one only has to see to appreciate.
But just think: the introduction
of this round wheel will upset
everything.. If we let this, happen,
the next thing you know, they'll
want us to educate women and let
them vote, or they'll try to make
us put bathtubs in our houses, and
all those other new-fangled things.
We must forget that change in
itself is not necessarily good.
Arise, Chapel Hillians, speak out
at once against this dangerous in
novation. Keep the square wheel
for Chapel Hill.

Conglomeration
Plagued with gnawing pangs in
dicating that E Hour was close
at hand, our friend, Joe, quickly
(fell in line at one of the many
jup town fashionable, attractive,
and altogether obnoxious eateries
in our fair city. This was a cafe
teria and the very word struck
an ominous note, for Joe had
fceen through three major skirm
ishes here and once was even
(recommended for the Purple
'Heart. (This had come about
when an elderly lady in front
of him dropped her little plate of
cookies and Joe, leaning over to
.pick them up for her, was jabbed
in the logical spot with a fork
fby an over irate coed for causing
her to be late in getting to the
main trough with her girl
friends.)
The trays loomed up ahead and
our hero anxiously waited with
clammy hands. Pouncing upon
what he thought to be a clean
one, Joe was dismayed to find a
tfew remnants of Monday's spin
ach lying quietly in a far corner
of the tray. But! the offensive
had begun and there was no
turning back now. Several of the
older veterans passed the word
along to "close it up" and faces
became grim. The salads were
first and Joe reached out for a
full bowl. He was, however,
faked out by a music major with
long arms and dexterous fingers,
and after a few feeble attempts
the assault was given up. (Salads

Itoo much roughage.) But big
Ithings lay at hand. T-Bone Hill
(was not far off, and already k
isilence fell upon the line. Joe
saw there were two small steaks
(left and there were two people
ahead of him. Anxiously he await
ed their decision. "T-bone . . .
make it two." Muttering small
jcurses Joe resignedly accepted
his Slobbovian meat loaf and
'marched on. After procuring
two small bowls with a few peas
an one and a rather large lima
bean in the other, he moved on.
IThe bread line was not too crowd
led and a few stale crusts were
soon added to the growing (pile?)
... on the tray. However, the
worst was yet to come. Joe
steeled hmiself for the moment
when confronted by ice water,
butter, chocolate, and plain milk,
tea, coffee, dessert, and a par
ticularly obese cash registrar he
would have to be quick yet sure
in his choice. .This was it. His.
hand darted out and the vision
in front of him was obscured by
a flurry of darting fingers. Joe
looked down to see what he had
gotten, and found three lemon
slices, two small cream jiggers,
and a broken glass staring at him
from the tray. Ah well, he had
been entirely too optimistic al
though rumors had been circu
lated around that one day at a
fairly slack lunch hour, one stu
dent had actually gotten a half
pint of milk, but one could hard
ly take these rumors at full
value. He reached in his pocket
Ifor a wrinkled bill, and as he
did the line behind . . . ever push
ing onward, pushed ever so
slightly and the crash resounded
throughout the mess hall as the
tray hit the f an . . . uh . . . floor.
Older veterans turned with a
barrage of contemptuous haughty
glares, and several gleeful titters
Icame from the nearest trou . . .
table of coeds. Joe meekly looked
up at the cashier who with a
horrible leer said in a voice loud
enough to be heard in Woollen,
"that'll be a dollar eighteen with
the tax."

Sacred Past
The professor had asked one of
his students to see him after
IclclSS
"Mr. Jones," he said, "I see
where you have selected a novel
Iby Hemingway for your parallel
reading."
"Yessir."
"After I said that you'd do bet
ter to choose a nineteenth cen
tury novel?"
"Yessir," said Jones, "But you
gave us our choice, and I'm more
interested in the twentieth cen
tury. I live in it and I'm more
interested in its problems."
V "The function of the study of
the humanities," said the profes
sor, "Is not to teach a man. to
Solve contemporary problems, but
to equip him to lead a rich con
temporary life."
"Oh," said Jones.
"And I feel quite sure," said
the professor, "That you will be
able to write a better report on
a novel like Moby Dick, and you
will surely get a better grade."
"Oh," said Jones.
"You see," said the professor,
"By reading the works of dead
writers, your life will be made
fmore significant, your mind will
be broadened, and you will know
imore about yourself as a man."
The professor paused so that
Jones could fully grasp what he
'was saying.
"And by improving ourselves
generally as men," the professor
continued, "We become by acci
ident more able to deal with the
practical problems of life."
The professor paused and
looked into Jones' eyes, which
were now very dull and listless.
"My course," said the professor,
"is a survey of American liter
ature from 1850 to the present.
The term is short, and I must
"select the better literature. Ob
viously then, we must concentrate
our efforts on the literature of
(the nineteenth century. And
iwhat time is left we devote to
(the twentieth century early
twentieth century."
"Then, you don't think we'll
get to Hemingway or Stein
beck?" said Jones sadly.
"No," said the professor, "You
see, those men are still alive. The
Humanities should deal with dead
people. They are the ones who
Jhave wisdom and sensitivity.
They are the ones who stimulate
one's intellect, subtilize one's
feelings, and give one a calm
inner understanding. They are
the ones who ' will take you to
the great storehouse of learning.
They are the ones who will make
you a complete man."
"Oh," said Jones.

Retort
This little literary controversy
is getting pretty good. It's nice to
get away from politics and war
every now and then and to inter
est ourselves in gentler topics.
The main point of the present dis
cussion is well stated in the ar
ticle written by an English Club
member for Tuesday's Tar Heel.
Its thesis is presented in such a
way that almost no one will want
to disagree with it. If it, or the
less calm articles by Wood and
me, move you to want to say some
thing, for heaven's sake write it
out and drop it at the Tar Heel
office. Seriously, the tone of the
paper would be helped consider
ably by the inclusion of a few
more pieces by non-staff members
on art, philosophy, and literature.
Again I have to say that Wood
doesn't practice what he preaches.
His comments on The Old Man
and The Sea show use of words as
something other than mere tools.
Notice his use of repetition and
parallelism. Those are rhetorical
devices which Hemmingway uses
a great deal too. He goes on to
say that Hemmingway used "no
superfluous words or phrases,"
he has fooled you Mr. Wood. The
story only gives the appearance of
having no superfluous words, be
cause Hemmingway is adept at
what Horace would call "the art
of concealing art." As matter of
fact, Hemmingway originally
wrote down the story in one para
graph. No. I don't think fiction
ever was the presentation of a
story in the least number of oper-
able words.
Wood says that he does not
think The Old Man is "allegorical
or symbolic", and I suspect those
words to him stand for something
bad (since one finds them where
words are not used to say directly
what one means). I will end with
a well-worded quotation from Ber
nard Berenson on this point: "No
real artist symbolizes or allegor
izes and Hemmingway is a real
artist but every real work of art
exhales symbols and allegories.
So does this short but real master
piece." Throw 'Em Out

pleted experiments by throwing out

Inevitably several complaints were

has caught some of them off guard.
The head of the biology department
answered the complainers by say
ing, "This just isn't the way to dis
pose of used biology experiments."
