PAGE TWO THE DAILY TAR atlp The official student publicatidn of the Publications Board of the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, where it is published daily except Saturday, Monday, examination and vacation periods, and dur ing the official summer terms. Entered as second "class matter at the post office in Chapel Hill, N. C, under the act of March 3, 1879. Sub scription rates mailed $4 per year, $1.50 per quarter; delivered, $6 and $2.25 per quarter. . Editor Managing Editor . Business Manager Sports Editor News Ed. Sub. Mgr. Bob Slough Carolyn Reiehard Ass't. Sub. Mgr Bill Venable, Tom wiuy Office Mgr. Buzzy Shull Assoc. Ed Nina Gray, Jane Carter Night Editor for this issue: Rolfe Sixth Day Frustration ' Frustration is an enervating human experience, especially when it stems from Saturday classes. - A strenuous, well-planned protest made by Ham Horton and others in student government resulted in this paragraph in the report of the Visiting Committee of the Board of Trustees: "Many of the members of the faculty as well as the students Avho appeared befor the Committee expressed themselves as opposed to Saturday classes." Thus the tape recordings, the mass meetings, the positive "approaches, the letters, have been ineffective. , We learn, too, that one member of the Executive Com mittee of the Trustees didn't bother to vote on the subject last week because he didn't have enough knowledge on the subject. We have heard of faculty, administration, and student responsibility, but what about Trustee responsibility? There is yet hope of a hearing, despite President Gray's announcement that he will back the Executive Committee's qrder for Saturday classes. We assume the Consolidated Presi dent has done this because of the necessity of carrying out orders. Yet John Umstead's announcement that he will try to lay the matter before the full board is heartening. The Daily Tar Heel objects primarily to the methods used by the Trustees to force Saturday classes upon students. This newspaper further disagrees with the Trustee analysis- of stu dent morale. The logic applied here is that Saturday classes will heighten student morale. That is a complete fallacy if student feelings now are any indication of things to come. Monday is the last day for appeal. Most of us feel that Saturday classes are here to stay, that there is no chance for the continuance of the present system. Yet, that is no reason why the matter shouldn't be thoroughly discussed at the full, board meeting. We strongly urge Mr. Umstead and other Trustees opposed to Saturday classes as well as those for the institution of the sixth day of labor to speak out Monday. A Salute To APO Over three million boys and men are iri the Boy Scout movement. We see the Boy Scouts on Emerson Stadium each year participating in an annual camping jamboree. We see former Scouts active on the collegiate level through Alpha Phi Omega, national Boy Scout service fraternity. APO goes about its work quietly and effectively. Among other things it has provided guide service for high school students visiting here; it sponsors Parent's Day each spring, operates first aid stations at football, games, has cleaned up Battle Park, cooperates with the Red Cross when the Blood mobile is here, and provides ushers for concerts and forums. One of the best things about APO is that you can count on the organization for results. It is an call every day to take care of some student need, to erase a deficiency, to promote the University. APO's latest achievement has been the operation of a stu dent Book X, incidentally a successful operation which has been a definite help in allaying some of the student dissatis faction with the present Book X setup. Last week the nation celebrated Boy Scout week. We may well be proud of the Boy Scout movement in colleges. Prob ably one of the most difficult things for a person to do is to continue his worthwhile activities, taken up in high school or earlier, through college. APO gives the Boy Scout program, learned in the early stages of youth, more meaning, more sig nificance. The Daily Tar Heel salutes APO as an outstanding con tributor to the campus' welfare.

Every so often a let ter to the editor blasts away at the lengthy procedures of admit tance and the quality of service and the meals. I had been lucky enough until recently to have no occasion to visit the Infirmary. Having been saturated with pessimistic views, I hated to make the supreme sac rifice of marching back into the woods. But after a three day visit, I'll gladly side up with the affirma tives. , A few questions aimed directly at the pessimists: How many days have you had breakfast, dinner and supper served in bed? How many mornings have you had your bed made up for you while you stood idly by and watched? How many of you have a loyal servant that appears, every time you pull a string or push a but ton? Some "children" complain about the food. They yell it's not what they would have ordered, or it's not prepared correctly. Why does the Infirmary hire die ticians to prepare balanced meals when the University is so gifted with thousands of food experts? Every patient in the Infirmary professes to know twice as much as the hired food specialists. I heard one extremist sound off against the service. Perhaps as I was a patient during "Better Infirmary Week," because there were two nurses on duty 24 hours, seven days a week. The doctors made at least two rounds a day checking, observing, and recording. Pessimists speak up, "Well, s what. That's what they get paid for!" Granted. But I'm yet to hear an extra allowance when a nurse goes on a treasure hunt for an apple or orange for one of her patients; wanders up and down the hall looking for unused ra dios so they can listen to the ball t games; relinquishes her personal lamp to keep her studious pa tients from going blind and free ly hands out her own cigarets to the professional moocher. Some pessimists can't under stand why a little temperature calls for putting to bed. An ex cellent example was noted dur ing my visit. A hefty freshman had been in bed for a couple of days and his temperature had leveled to nor mal. When the doctor was mak ing the morning rounds, the stu dent pled that he was fully re covered and that he just had to attend the basketball game Fri day night. The doctor checked his chart. "Well, your temperature has been normal for some time now, and all the symptons have dis appeared. Still, I think you should not leave until this afternoon." But the student insisted that he was well and that his chart proved it. Since the chart agreed with the patient the doctor gave in, but he advised the student it would be best if he remained in bed until later in the day. The freshman left. Three hours later, a wheelchair was pushed through the ward door. A snow-faced form slumped iri the seat. The freshman had re-, turned. - After a first hand observation, my red, white and green corpus cles are extended to a hard work ing but little credited, group of first-class germ exterminators at the Infirmary. CAMPUS ROUNDUP Chicago (ACP) The University of Chicago Maroon "needs help," according to a front page banner headline. In the first place, "the lack of news space in this week's Maroon is no joke." In the second place, "we have not enough ad sales men." And in the third place, "we do not want to go further into debt." "Only through an increased amount of local advertising," said the Maroon, "can we afford to continue publication." Laramie, Wyo. As a student at the University of Wyoming re marked, "It isn't so bad to sleep through all your classes, but when you start to wake up auto matically every 50 minutes during the night you've had it." Big Operator .-.e.'WEar English In Distrust Of Liberty I have not hesitated to candid ly entitle this prospectus with the motto that has always con firmed the feelings of most men. Those who distrust liberty and be live that it is a dangerous heresy are increasing. It is therefore time to proclaim our land a land of Conformity. After all, who to day is seriously interested in maintaining his share of the bur densome privilege of defending liberty? I have every encourag ing reason to believe that there are not many of these die-hard Deviationists left. What is liberty? To judge from the way it is practiced, it can be best defined by those who pre serve it with lipservice as some thing they really know not of, they care less about, and besides it is considerably more of a both er than it's , worth. Many of my converts have privately admitted to me that in their weaker mom ents they still found themselves entertaining thoughts of personal . liberty, but preferably Liberty for themselves. After grave con sultation they always confessed their errors in deviational think ing. My duty has been, of late, to sneak in some noble defenses of Conformity as opposed to this .errant and ignoble aberration known as Liberty. But perhaps I should introduce myself. My parental name is not im portant (it smacks too much of that abomination, individuality); my assigned name is Comrade Fine x Print. The fraternal title "com rade" is used by me and my col leagues out of deference to our , most vigorous well-wishers who, at present, dwell for the most part in a distant Utopia a utopia constituted on the people's prin ciple of Unthinking Obedience. Of my past little need be said except to explain the origin of my name. It was my duty to sup ervise the insertion of the many useful and lucrative "fine print" passages found usually in con tracts, constitutions and footnotes. As of late my pupils have become so apt especially the lawyers, politicians, and scholars, that, un DAYS, NOW, VO' HAI NTT 1 1 MUCH At - ROACH.7- YO'J-L. DIE.' TriSZE'S MILLION?

Unrelieved was my misery until I created the new field of Con formity for the further enlighten ing of men and for the greater glory of the Infernal Politburo 'and their chosen deputy, Com rade Bigger Brother. In my recent, annual report on Conformity to Comrade Bigger Brother I could state with pride that it is getting more and more dangerous to think; fortunately, human nature being what it is lazy and indifferent this has never been a serious problem. Moreover, it is becoming especial ly dangerous to believe in or praise men like Jefferson who taught that eternal vigilance was the price of liberty. Such free thinking? Even our Arch-Enemy's statement, "Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free" is being rewritten and sung to the pleasantly different tune of "We are the sweet select ed few, obey us if you can; yours not to reason why, yours to con form or die." Progress is definite ly being made. One instance may suffice: that great bulldog of Miss Unliberty (I have heard that her name is be ing corrected after many years of individualistic ignorance), the American Legion, has banned and threatens to picket any showing of a film made by an individual istic actor; their reason is quite sound: the film though not ap parently unAmerican is patently dangerous because the actor's right to return to this country has been questioned. Aristotle would have been struck dumb with the beauty of such simple, clear logic. Several people have informed the manager of a local theater that they intend to ab stain from seeing the picture Better and better! It is with angelic, though fall en, glee that I can amend the pa triot's statement to read, "These are the times that convict men's souls."

When the players are on the move, it is an exciting and beautiful game to watch, but no sooner does a good play start to develop, than some guy in a strip ed suit goes "Tweet" and says, "Number fifteen, your little fing er jabbed his elbow!" and the play stops developing or else some guy doesn't get credit for swishing a left-handed hook from the corner. And, as often as not, the foul committed didn't have anything at all to do with the play. The last three minutes of the game is often about as ex citing as a hop-scotch game as "Tweet" follows "Tweet", and the spot behind the free-throw line is worn as Grandma's living-rooiff carpet. About twenty-five fouls are called on each team per game, and each team gets about thirty points on fouls. There are nearly always more free-throws made than baskets, often twice as many. The last ten minutes of the Duke game this year, for example, seemed to be little more than a free throw contest, which is all very skillful but not nearly as much fun to watch as a basket ball game. And then to top it off, some body thinks it would be just dan dy if the one and one rule were put into effect, whereby the guy gets another shot if he misses the first one and the whole phil osophy of the game is junked. I have a suggestion, which l ad mit has plenty of room for loop holes, but which I believe could be a step in the right direction: Combine girls' basketball with boys', and then strike out the time element. Specifically: (1) Divide the game into twenty point quarters. That is, the quar ter ends as soon as one team has scored twenty points that quar Jim Wilkinson Last Chance The average man on the cam pus is usually willing to express with strong conviction his views on most anything from the state of the Union to world trade. You won't find that conviction in dis cussing the "Rosenberg case." There are good reasons for this indecisiveness. In the first place, two lives hang in the balance. Many people are automatically re pelled by the idea of capital pun ishment whatever the circum stances. This is especially true if there is the slightest doubt of justice. Also, the trial in July, 1S50 that resulted in conviction did not at tract too much public attention at that time. But when Federal Judge Irving Kaufman, denounc ing the pair as "worse than mur derers" imposed the death pen alty, the public was suddenly more concerned. Not that it ques tioned the decision, it was just a little surprised. It began wonder ing about the facts, but the trial was over. Then began a series of delays appeals and stays of execution during which the cries for clem ency grew from a whimper to a world-wide protest. Much of it, especially in the beginning, prob ably came from Leftist groups. But then respectable organiza tions and individuals, unquestion ed in their loyalty, joined in.

(2) Stipulate that no player can hold the ball longer than three seconds ANYWHERE unless he is dribbling. (3) Instead of contact with an other player constituting a p0. tential foul, stipulate that only contact that hinders the execu tion of a pass or a shot or the movement of a player, such hin drance being consequential to the process of the game, should con stitute a potential foul. (I realize that this puts the decision wholly up to the discretion of the ref eree, but isn't it in reality up to his discretion now anyhow? it would certainly eliminate a lot of meaningless and inconsequen tial fouls.) (3A) If, of course, the contact is obviously intentional. whMhr consequential or not, a foul hould be called. (4) If, after a two shot fori is called (ONLY if committed while the opponent is in Ih? act of shooting), and the man makes both shots, his team automatical ly gets the ball out. If the man misses the first and makes the second, a jump ball is automat ically called. If he makes the first and misses the second, the present rule stays as is (rewound). These ideas have many loop holes, such as (3A) where it is hard to determine what is in tentional and what is not, but I tjiink that with these suggestions, there'd be fewer fouls committed, fewer fouls called, and maybe we could watch a basketball game. You might wonder if the elimina tion of the time element might tend to lengthen the game, but with the three second rule, I don't think so. And the object of the game at all times would be to make baskets, not freeze the ball so that the clock will run out, because there wouldn't be in the mind of the public. They wanted reassurance that the Ros enberg's deserved to die. The couple was first sentenced to die last April. The Supreme Court has twice refused to review the case. Both President Eisen hower and President Truman re fused executive clemency. On Monday, Judge Kaufman once again set the date, this time for the week of March 9. But Tuesday, a three-man appeal court granted a stay of execution until March 30 or longer giving the defense a chance to appeal once again to the Supreme Court. ' Said a member of the court in citing his reasons for not refus ing the stay: "I would not want to have it on my conscience." Such remarks leave an unsettled feel ing in the mind of the public. Call it sentiment, Leftist, a de sire for justice, anything you like the people aren't sure and neither, so it would seem, are all the judiciaries of the country. If the Supreme Court accepts this appeal to review the case, it will undoubtedly clear up the issues that are presently fogging the picture. Furthermore, a de cision from the country's final and highest reviewing authority would go a long way toward allay ing any doubts that persist in the mind of the American public.
