You lose To Scalpers
One of the reasons you won't be seeing the State game
next week is because many students have bought tickets for
"friends and relatives" to sell to outsiders on Saturday right
before the game.
Scalping is an old practice which had its biggest days in
the Justice Era. Last week the scalpers were back trying to
arouse last minute interest in the. NYU basketball game. They
were getting maybe 50 cents per ticket; some had to sell three
or four tickets all bringing a total of 25 cents. It didn't pay.
The scalpers figure they will break even this time because
the game is a sellout. There has been a storm of student
indignation because there are no more tickets.
We have explored other regions of discontent in the last
few days but today we ask students to seek out the scalpfer,
cut him down, and rid him from the campus.
If you manage to get into Woollen Gym Saturday night,
check the student section. See how many students are there.
If there are a lot of norrstudents, that means the scalper has
succeeded.
To those students who have already bought tickets but
don't plan to use them: Give your fellow student a break.
Drop by Woollen Gym today and turn the ticket in so that
others can see the game.
A reminder: Your ticket is non-transferrable, "For your
personal use only" as the passbook itself reads.
Jellyfish And Sheep
The Athenaean magazine at the University of Wisconsin,
recently asked itself, "Are we students a generation of jelly
fish?" It came up with the answer, yes.
"We students are a funny lot," said the editorial. "We
will become aroused at the most trivial things, excessive foul
ing in a basketball game, the changing of an exam date, the
election of a dance king, and yet the most important events
leave us unmoved.
". . . Like spoiled children we whine about the Army inter
rupting our lives and spoiling our, plans. There is little dis
cussion about the war itself beyond the superficial cynicism
of high school sophomores. Instead we passively accept, wait,
simper about the inconveniences."
The editorial went on to tell how a survey last year showed
that less than half the University students knew their congress
men or about the North Atlantic pact or ECA.
Worse yet, says the Athenaean, students aren't even cur
ious. "Indeed, it is considered bad form to be more curious
about the war objectives than the T-formation. It smacks
of that campus radicalism that the politicians border danger
ously on the phenomenon known, as thinking.
". . . But we cannot do anything so long as we stick to
our sordid little ambitions, our bovine outlook and spineless
personality. If we persist, we can only accept what others de
cree for us and bumble to our destruction.
"We hope that enough introspection will push us up the
scale of evolution from sheepdom to something nearer the
dignity of a free American citizen.
"Our world is not a safe place for sheep."

1 Like Ike
. When Eisenhower was elected
president, there were many dyed-in-the
wool Democrats who threw
up their hands in despair. Others
had a wait-and-see attitude. Many
thought there'd be A-bombs drop
ping all over the place within a
week. Others were skepticaL
They figured Ike would follow
Truman's containment policy, and
that his proposed trip to Korea
was no more than political demo
goguery. There' were misgivings on the
part of some that we would revert
to the Hoover days, and maybe,
even to the days of John D. Rock
efeller, Sr.
Some felt that Eisenhower '
would be a pawn in the hand of
chess-player Bob Taft, and we'd
bring all our troops home from
Korea and tell the rest of the
world Nuts, and that all the work
ing men would be subjected to
slavery.
Then, there was Eisenhower's :
alleged support of McCarthy and
Jenner, which made everybody
unhappy, Democrats and Repub
licans. And there was much praying
for the country, the world, and
the Christian religion when the
results of the election were tab
ulated. And many folks just did
n't like five stars.
Well, Eisenhower went to Ko
rea, talked to MacArthur, and ig
nored Harry Truman's childish
rantings. While Harry was vent
ing his pique, Eisenhower was
talking to such men as -MacArthur,
Churchill, and Van Fleet,
gathering information, assimilat
ing it, and planning a definite
course of action. He ignored the
stagnant defeatism of the Demo
crats that the Korean situation
was a dilemma, and by removing
the blockade from Formosa, took
the first un-defensive action in
seven years. He dismissed the old
maid fears of the Democrats that
such a move risked an all-out war.
He seems inclined to the view
that a poker-player that drops
out every hand is not going to
win much, and is wasting time,
to say nothing of the ante, which
mounts up after two and a half
years. -
The despair of labor was quel
led when Eisenhower appointed
Durkin Secretary of Labor. When
Taft developed apoplexy, Eisen
hower, unlike his arrogant pre
decessor, handled the situation
calmly and with tact. The ap
pointment would indicate that
Eisenhower does not subscribe to
the idea that to the victor belongs
the spoils and that anybody that
doesn't agree with you is a low
down shiftless skonk, unworthy
of anything but vitriolic villifica
tion.' "Eisenhower seems to place
the welfare of the country above
that of a political party. That
may seem like a funny idea to
some people, though.
Those who scoffed at Eisenhow
er's proposed economizing have
had to hold off a bit with the re
cent developments: No Federal
employees will be fired, but none
will be hired unless it is found
that the vacant job is necessary
and that no one can be transfer
red. In other words there'll be no
more of this stuff of three peo
ple doing the job of one. Govern
ment construction projects have
been restricted. Department head
. have been urged to dispense with
all non-essential spending. Eisen
hower is concentrating on .the
waste in government spending.
He is not going to cut Social Se
curity or the Defense Budget.
And he places the horse before
the cart in balancing the budget
before cutting taxes.
His civil rights proposals seem
to me to be sensible. He plans
an end of segregation in Wash
ington, D. C. and in the armed
forces in the immediate future.
He is not planning to change sou
thern traditions overnight. Un
, like his predecessor, he realizes
the fatuity of attempting a hun
dred year job by passing "a law.
He is in favor of ending discrim
ination, but he is not going to
ram his opinions down people's
throats. His admirable idealism
is tempered with a little realism.
But the main change in admin
istrations seems to me to be in
the personality and character of
the chief executive himself. Eis
enhower is an educated man. He's
been" around. But he is not arro
gant. He is willing to listen to
other people, whether he agrees
with them or not. He has tact and
humility. And he has stature. He
is worthy of his office. And I
don't think we have to worry too
much about guys like McCarthy
and Jenner.

Sportsmen
Editorials on sportsmanship,
like the flu epidemic, are spread
ing across the country.
The editor of the Oklahoma
Daily rebuked OU fans for their
unsavory behavior at basketball
games, their boos at every foul
called on an OU player, and cat
calls at opposing players.
The editorial blasts a few hot
heads who "never learned how
to act when the game goes against
them, and threw their tin cups
to the floor like babies throw
down pablum." This "hoodlum be
havior" took place at the Okla
homa A&M game.
The Southwest conference
awards a sportsmanship trophy to
the student body having the best
sportsmanship during the athletic
season each year.
The Olf editor believes that the
fans have committed suicide so
far as this year's; trophy is con
cerned. ' j:
A student at West Virginia Uni
versity has a most constructive
criticism for the referee situation.
He suggests that the fans burst
out with "for they are jolly good
fellows" when the officials ap

cision, the proper response would
be, "tisk, tisk," in a soft whisper.
All baskets regardless of the team
shooting should be cheered, ac
cording to the student. His final
suggestion is that the local team
huddle after the game and give
15 hearty rahs for the opposing
team. The letter says that it may
sound silly but the papers would
love it.
The Chicago Maroon has diag

Let Them Vote
"Yes, I do, give them the vote,"
spoke Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt in
response to a question "Do you
favor giving 18-year-olds the right
to vote? And thus the former
first lady has joined the ranks
of the many who advocate giving
to the 18-year-olds the full privi
leges of citizenship. This question
is of interest at the present time
because there is such a bill before
the General Asembly. Probably
a public hearing will be held be
fore the legislative committee re
ports back to the Senate. And
the views of the youth of the
state will "bear much weight in
the decision reached. I hope that
Carolina students will appear be
fore the committee. I hope to do
so myself.
As to the merits of the pro
posal, let us briefly consider them.
First, the eighteen-year-old is
graduating from high schooT and
getting out on his own. He will
either go to work -or go to col
lege, or to the armed forces. Sec
ond, he will be required to as
sume the responsibilities of citi
zenship and this includes paying
taxes. (I believe we fought a
revolution partly on the grounds
of "no taxation with representa
tion"). Third, he can assume the
task of being head of a family.
Fourth, he is qualified by both
education and interest to partici
pate in his government. Fifth,
he may be drafted and required
to defend democracy. Yet he is
denied one of its most precious
privileges, the right to vote. And
I could go on but instead will
briefly summarize. Because of ed
ucation, interest, and the duties
thrust upon him the 18-year-old
deserves the right to vote. Will
you not join the following per
sons, Eleanor Roosevelt, Kerr
Scott, Frank Pace Jr., Thad Eure,
in saying "Give them the vote"?
Day By Day
KNOXVTLLE, Tenn. (I.P.) .
Students who distribute their
studying evenly throughout the
week will be the students who
get an education instead of just
a diploma, according to E. J. Fish
er, who conducts a University of
Tennessee laboratory on remedial
reading and effective study meth
ods. He says that too many students,
even after they reach college age,
still concentrate all their study
on one or two nights or afternoons
a week. "Generally speaking it is
the student who studies some
each day, even utilizing the half
hours and 15 minutes here and
there, who really gets something
out of school."
"Cramming," according to Fish
er, may serve the immediate pur
pose of passing the examination
but information gained that way
is seldom retained. -
The counsellor stresses the im
portance of planning ahead per
haps with the help of teachers
or parents. Some of the student's
"best" hours each day should be
left open for study. "This means
some of the hours when he's not
half asleep after a full and even
exhausting day," Fisher says.
In addition to stressing a real
desire to learn and the usual good
study conditions and good health,
he recommends the following
"study approach" as one that has
been proved in practice: skimming-through
the material; then
formulating questions on signifi
cance of main points; reading the

Nightmare
It was a warm May evening
and I sought repose from tedious
tasks of study. I was reading the
new Research in Progress; soon
I slept, and as I slept I dreamed.
I saw an ivory temple which tow
ered far above the world below.
It was a large hall, with a throne
at one end on which sat ACA
DEMICUS. The room was dark
and I noticed that the windows
(of many-colored glass) had been
covered over with pages from the
'Harbrace College Handbook.' Al
though it must have been richly
decorated at one time, the room
now was bare, and empty pedes
tals stood about the walls.
The hall was crowded with
young men who were waiting their
turns to receive gifts from the
king. ACADEMICUS, old and
, quite decrepit, was dressed in a
shabby black gown with a blue
hood edged in white. His eyes
were closed and his hand rested
on a dusty book unopened for
many years entitled 'Wisdom.'
The young men filed past and
presented large volumes typewrit
ten on Old Council Tree Bond, in
exchange for printed privilege
cards and yellowed lecture notes
abstracted from DNB and the
standard authorities.
Every man then recited the fol
lowing oath: "I promise to place
research above teaching; to pub
lish five scholarly articles a year;
to remain aloof from my students;
and to come to class regularly
unprepared." He was then given
a green eye-shade and a stack of
index cards, and sent through a
door over which the word 'Ideal3'
had been crossed out, and the
word 'Success' put in.
Occasionally one would refuse
to give the pledge and was sub
jected to the most painful torture.
He was branded with the word
'Popularizer' and 'Dilletante and
kicked by his colleagues. As eter
nal damnation he was sent to a
dark place called Teacher's Col
lege and never heard of again.
Those who entered the door of
'Success' were led by one of three
guides: PECUNIA, V ANITAS, and
INERTIUS. PECUNIA was ele
gantly dressed, his pockets bulg
ing with royalty checks. VANI
TAS held a glass in his hand and
wore the badge of an officer in
the Modern Language Association.
INERTTUS carried golf clubs and
a hammock. They walked down a
long corridor (as long as life
itself) which led past a thousand
class-rooms filled with students
eager for knowledge. They passed
these by and entered through a
door marked Tromotion.' Within
were many scholars earnestly
leaning over piles of notes. They
seemed to be playing some sort
of game. They would write for
a while; then stop and congratu
late each other; write some more;
and congratulate each other. This
went on constantly. I saw that
the room was sound-proof and
no noise escaped beyond its walls.
I was just about to leave in
dark despair when a young man
pulled my sleeve and said, "There
is still hope."
