Night Editor for this issue: Everett Parker . , We're Unenthusiastic The best we can say ajbqpt the approved policy on doling out the Book X profits for grants-in-aid is that the funds will be handled by the regular University Scholarship and Grants-in-aid Committee. This committee will have about $40,000 to allot in $500, $300, andsi50'ategories to needy students. The considered 25 per cent cut for athletes is not men tioned in the Chancellor's repprt. However one sentence spe cifies that such groups as athltes will not be left out of the program. . . consideration may be given to students who participate in activities that .are regularly scheduled and re quire exacting use of time.VThese activities for which no com pensation is received limit ithfe bppbctunity of the student for self-help. For example, students who are members of regularly organized intercollegiate athletic squads ..." We assume that non-salaried members of The Daily Tar Heel, student govern ment officials et al will be given xjual consideration if they need financial help. The policy is that "no, group .shall receive a greater pro portion of these funds than the: "ratio of the number of stu dents in ithat group bears'' to the total enrollment of the Universiy." One estimate of the number of athletes is 20 per cent. . ? - The announcement thS,t the funds shall be open to all students of the University, undergraduate, graduate and pro fessional, on the basis pinne$Manrjp$rit" in keeping, with the fact that all students uy xbooks-at the Book X. In the future, The Daily Tar Heel hopes that students will be given a vote, not just a voice, on such committees where so much is at stake and where students are effected so strongly. i' '- Vice In and Outside The Court Rumor is a vicious disease once, a germ of it has started to infect the populace. Rumor is a rapacious plaque that is stemmed only when truth is distributed widely and frequently. This may seem to be irrelevant when we talk about Mickey Jelke and his call girl, Pat Ward who are currently fighting it out in court. Jelke is on thial for a number of things, including vice, conspiracy, and compulsory prostitution. . Jelke has a lawyer. So has Miss Ward. And here's what happens when the press is excluded from the court sessions: Miss Ward's lawyer: "If Jelke's lawyer doesn't stop giving out quotes outside the court room . . . I too wiu start start talking and paint a diabolical picture of monstrosity so that a certain person won't'tind a corner of the globe to live in." The court has told 'jthe press that it was o.k. to get whatever news it could outside the CQurtroom. Surely, the agency of justice in this country is interested in the truth. Yet the claims and counterclaims of the lawyers, heard separately and sometimes indistinctly, flavor the truth with emotion, deceit, and duplicity. j.The New York Supreme Court should rule that press be admitted to witness the trial . ' '' " , . The Greensboro Daily News is almost "burned up" because of the yellow journalism that might follow if -the court pro ceedings were open to the public. We answer that The New York Times is one of those seeking an open court. The News admits that the closing of the courtroom is "a.dangerous pre cedent, a blow at the freedom of the press.'Whatmore could be important? Georgian Curiosity Curiousity killed the cat. But it doesn't seem to bother Univer sity students. A Red and Black survey this week showed that University stu dents are superior to curious cats in that they have more willpower. The survey concerned itself with the reading habits of local newsstand and drugstore cowboys seeking college degrees. And it revealed that the average Univer sity reader usually walks up to a magazine rack, scoops up litera ture featuring scantily dressed women and sexy reading matter, and stands around oggling for an hour. He finally puts the stuff back in place, picks up a copy of Saturday Review, buys it, and walks away. . From this we could conclude. HEEL TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1953 WALT DEAR . ROLFE NEILL .

Alice Chapman that the average red blooded Am erican boy has been taking trans fusions of ice water. Or we could accuse him of taking advantage of magazine dealers who are too polite to take the legalized porno graphy away from him, before he has reaped its aesthetic benefits for free. But the fact that he eventual ally buys the higher type litera ture seems to indicate that the young man's mind is not entire ly in the quagmire of sin, sex and vice; and that the younger gen eration's route to the dogs will be of its own making, not the do- ing of models, photographers and cheesecake bakers. The Red and Black University of Georgia Ham Horton Presidentia Memo To the Student Body: Nothing too . important this week we just want to bring you up to date on what's going on in Student Government. The thing most of us . are in terested in is Saturday Classes, of course. Julia Shields and her committee are doing a good job in picking up the loose ends'and tying the knot on ouj "case against Saturday Classes." The aim of the committee is to double check that every trustee is seen before their meeting on the 23rd. Our hopes have been, quite" frankly, crippled by President Gray's decision to support the se mester system. Students had thought they were fighting . for the faculty and administration as well as for themselves. A Student Government commit tee is now working with members of the faculty and administration to take the preliminary steps necessary to affiliate Carolina with a foreign university. The advantages of such a move are obvious: exchange of students, faculty, books, and credit for students attending summer school at the affiliated university. It is definitely a long-range and kid glove proposition but well worth the time and effort in our opin ion. It's easy ot obscure issues. And often fruitful to the obscurers. And I'm afraid that's what has been done on the NSA refer endum question. NSA commits this student body to policies: and if Student Govern ment is going to remain in the hands of the students, the stu dents must decide matters of. basic policy. After these policies are decided, then, of course, the Student Legislature should act according to them, and the Presi dent should administer those acts. Not to allow the students to decide policy shows a lack of faith in their ability to govern themselves, and a certain con ceit on the part of those who think only they themselves are "qualified." . If the objection of the op ponents of referendum is that the students are not informed, I pledge myself to the distribution to the student body, of any in formation that the NSA commit tee will let us have. The CUSC, under the leader ship of Jimmy Adams, is boiling along busy now with plans for a "Consolidated University Day" this spring. The Carolina delega tion has received too little credit this year for the work they have done for consolidation. Bob Gorham has completed his Orientation report, covering the program through December. If you are interested in reading the report contact Bob. It's certainly an excellent job and a true re flection of the entire orientation work of the chairman, committee, and counsellors. Well, it's ,all too plain that Spring elections are as good as started. The politicos are smiling at. you and talking strategy to each other. Beware! Sorority coffees, faculty receptions, con certs, in fact every gathering is brim full of toothy grins and handshakers. I think I express your hopes when I say to the young hope fuls, "Keep it Clean." Let's not forget our first loyalty to Caro lina and all it stands for. . Herb Browne, local racqueteer from Columbia, S. C, has re placed Arch Fort of Oxford as Chairman of the committee to push for more General College advisors. These advisors are cer tainly urgently needed. Many thanks are due to the Department of History for their jumping the number of advisors for history majors from two to five. Those of us who lost our' old advisors in the shuffle never theless gained with the rest of the history majors in having an opportunity for more accurate records as well, we are told. Other departments take note! Hamilton C. Horton President of the Student Body U. of North Carolina. - College -id-wr-ir V English Di e Of all the many ills which I perceive in the order of our schools, there is none which upon t reflection troubles me more than our distortion of educational val ues. To what do you refer? To the rejection of teachers in favor of research scholars. What do you mean? I fear that the Humanities are doomed to disappear unless we take positive steps at once. Explain the purpose of your re mark. Listen to me, or rather answer me. Why do people go to school? To learn. A good reply. It follows then that the first obligation of a school is to provide good .teach ers. Therein lies the responsibil ,,ity of education: the teaching of youth. '- A searching comment. ? It is an obvious fallacy that promotion and recognition come only to the man who boasts ac complishments which,, by then very nature, are proof that he has not devoted all his efforts to teaching. The standards thus be come reversed: the most renown ed figures in education are those who have devoted the least time to their teaching and the most of research and publication. Does research then have no val ue? - - ' - Of course it does, for only through research and the con stant exchange of ideas and dis coveries can we ' broaden our knowledge of the past, and thus the present. ;My point is that it must not be the absolute stand ard of academic achievement. It is of greater importance that our colleges produce well-educated men. If they do not, what is the value of research? 10:30's Closing hours; for women's houses at Kansas State College have been extended one-half , hour to 10:30 p.m. on week nights. Upperclass women voted for the extension, but freshmen strongly opposed. 1 aloau MEBBE TH' DOCTOR KIN CURE Ml I cHjCKLE'r IT'S MAH NOSIN ESS. AH ALMOST NATCHSuRACT'BE yX SEE?

Will you enquire yourself? , ,: , , -i . , Well, research provides further knowledge to better equip , the .teacher for his work. If good teaching is not encouraged and recognized, a barrier is created through which knowledge cannot pass. The teacher, then, is the pri mary figure in the process of ed ucation. And do they fail to understand this obvious fact? Many of them do. Some with intent, but most, I fear, because they have no choice. They are financially obligated to produce research , or fail to rise on the academic scale. I Is there nothing to.be done? Oh, yes, there is. If the aca demic profession can be. con vinced of ihis .obvious, inequity; . and if itpan, be persuaded pf the importance of good . teaching, there is HOPE. It requires two things: The education of gradu ate students to be good teachers, and a proper recognition of the man who teaches well. The first requires a sincere evaluation of educational objectives; the second a mutual recognition of them. The classroom must be opened, and carelessness, laziness, and ir responsibility exposed. Teaching ability must no longer be a pri vate unmentionable, but a public fact -to be praised or scorned,. If the academic profession will ex amine the obvious facts, it can, . through the vitality of a coopera tive effort and through the hon esty, of sincere dedication move forward , to re-establish the dig nity ; of the good teacher. I have been thoroughly con - vinced by your argument. Yr. Mst. Obt, Hmlb. & Dvtd. Srvt. CATO Too Late Reasons: 1.

The bids asked the various groups to indicate the nation they would like to repre sent in the Model Assembly. Na- tion assignments will be made on a first-come, first-served basis. The Model Assembly can only be a success if each organization contacted will contribute its co operation and participation. There -are 60 nations in the UN which must" be represented. Each dele gation requires a mihimxim of four persons, since there will be four Commissions meeting sep arately to debate resolutions in various fields, such as: Political and Security; Economic and Fi nancial; Social, Humanitarian, and Cultural; and Trusteeship and Legal Problems. The decisions and reports of the Commissions then will be debated before the entire Assembly. K:,- Those organizations which have already returned their bids are asked to send their . representa tives to the UN Committee meet ings on Mondays,, , at 7 p.m in the Y Library on the second floor of the YMCA building. All groups which have not decided yet as to their, participation are urged to send representatives to .the meetings. All other interest ed students and faculty members are also urged to attend. This Assembly is being under taken to promote a greater inter est in the PN and to .provide, a practical experience fa .the func tions of the UN4is' f eltthat by providing a dynamic impetus, Ron Passing I remember vaguely . reading about 'some sort of controversy about the "merits of Herman Mel ville's "Moby Dick" and "The Old Man and the Sea" by E. Heming way in the Daily Tar Heel some days back. It seems that a certain someone (the name slips my mind at the present) took a stand for the old masters like Melville, and the other took a most valiant position behind Hemingway and the modern school. I must say here that I side completely with the supporter of Melville. First of all, why not read "Moby Dick"? It is about whales, I gath er, and as far as I'm concerned I'd like to learn about whalest and whale hunting. I must say it sounds like jolly ; good sport. That's the trouble with , the Amer ican People today. Their only in terest is in themselves. Yet on the other hand I have several good reasons for not read ng Hemingway's work. First of all, by now surely someone must have told you the end so that spoils the whole story. What a pity. You know it's only the old version of "Moby Dick" but with a new slant just like all other .fish stories. And lastly they'll . probably make a motion picture of it fairly soon and. you certain ly don't want to read the book before seeing the picture.

' 1 f Lowet such as a Model Assembly, more students will become aware of the United Nations' potentialities as a force for world understanding. Your organization can enhance its prestige, as well as receive the educational benefits, by in . telligently representing a nation -in, the Model Assembly. This is true since the organization's name will be associated with the quality of the delegation. Cer tainly it is an exceptional oppor tunity for. campus organizations to come together in a mutual project of outstanding merit. Delegations will be aided by foreign students and faculty members who have visited or studied various foreign nations. The Model Assembly calendar includes a banquet with an in ternational menu and a well known guest speaker. It is hoped Dr. Frank Porter Graham will re turn to Carolina for the Assem bly. Publicity Chairman Chal Schley promises that local, state, and . national publicity resources will be utilized to the fullest ex tent to herald the Assembly. Ob servers from other schools will be invited to attend the sessions. Carolina is associated with the Collegiate Council for the United Nations and has received full sanction for the Model Assembly. Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt has also given her endorsement and promised any aid possible. This is the first Model Assem bly to be held with one univer sity assuming all the functions. Heretofore, several colleges have banded together necessarily for . such an enterprise. Carolina has the splendid opportunity to once more lead in a student function designed to bring about a better world community. Levin Remark the whale from, down under. I have read "Moby Dick" and tome it is a grand story of the olden days When I read it the current literary taste was at an al time high, but since then I am ashamed to admit that Classics Comics have really gone down. Honestly I like the old stuff like "Black Beauty" and "Tom Swift in the Salvation Army." Let's have some more of the old mas ters. I'm all for it. PULP HUMOR . . .
