Harold Velde in ad mitting the first big blunder of his probe into Communist infiltration of American colleges. The "mistake" was an assertion by Velde that someone who had criticized his probe policy was the author of a letter published in the Russian newspaper Pravda. The charge was proved to be a lie and Velde blithely dismissed the matter. This is the man who is setting himself up as a judge of what is and what is not truth in our educational institutions. His cohort will be Senator Jenner who once flagrantly hurled charges of un-Americanism at Gen. George Marshall. Congressional branches have set up probe units but the House committee, with Velde as chairman, claims it will "bear the burden" for most of the campus investigations. HoAvever Sen. jenner, as chairman of the Senate Internal Security Committee, has already begun hearings in New York. Rep. Velde says criticism of his plans to clean up our col leges is coming from "those groups who are afraid of being probed." The myopic-minded Senator probably couldn't be made to realize that we fear his intrusion on our campuses and in our classrooms for quite another reason. Most people just plain don't like the idea of having a pathetically unqualified person sit in as arbiter on what is American and what is un American in our schools. Indeed, the probe itself stands out as the most un-American aspect of the whole affair. Velde says he believes that "it's a lot better to wrongly accuse one person of being a Communist than to allow so many to get away with such Communist acts as have brought us to the brink of World War III." Would we have been farther from World War HI if we had voted to end the European Recovery Program, as Jenner did; if we had voted down the move to arm the Atlantic Pact Nations, as Jenner did, or if we had followed his urging not to send troops to Europe in 1951? What about Velde's opposition to the Korean Aid Act and his continued efforts to cut Atlantic Pact, iMSA and por tions of Point 4 aid? This "is not to say these records imply un-Americanism, but neither do they indicate the keen judg ment and insight which these textbook Sherlocks will need for their job. Fast Action Helps Out We like action, fast action, that is. And that's what happened as 50011 as the Saturday class semester system enforcement policy broke upon us. The deans of the different schools are to, be commended for rolling up their sleeves and getting down to business immediately. Most students weren't sure of what the semester system would do to them. The only thing they were sure of was the reactionary move made by the Board of Trustees and seconded by the administration to give us Saturday classes. Yesterday students got an opportunity to find out about the semester system. They were assured that there would be a limit to quirks, loss of credits, and general hardship in the switchover from three quarters a year to two semesters a year. The news that students will be given special advisory time to. cope with the problems presented by the institution of the semester system is easy on the ears. What could have been a mild disaster, encompassing growing discontent among stu dents, has been averted. DAILY CROSSWORD ACROSS 1. Bottle stopper 5. Eldest son of Noah 9. Article of virtu 10.

Bill Brown, Wade Matthews, Henry Lowet and Baxter Miller visited the party members over the weekend in the dorms. Per sistent Lowet was still going strong at midnite Sunday. Mat thews and the others visited many that night too. Miller, called a darkhorse by some SP's, got the votes though. The Student Party couldn't have compromised with a more careful ly chosen candidate. But why so many speeches? MURPHY MUSES: Dick Mur phy, for years a cog in student government and now president of the National Student Associa tion, came back to Chapel Hill this week for the NSA confer ence. Murphy said that he felt Carolina would support NSA in a referendum. UP PICKS: University Party politicos seem to be able to make shorter speeches. When extolling the virtues of a candidate, a speaker will receive a lot more attention from his audience if he's brief. And the "business at hand," as they say,, will be taken care of quicker. VOTE APPEAL: Newest twist in getting nominations is getting an attractive coed to vouch for the candidate's "vote appeal to the coeds." It may not persuade too many dyed-in-wool politicians but it sure brightens up the humid aired, smoke filled meet ings. LOWET'S LULL: Rarely has there been a more enthusiastic bid for a post than Henry Low et's. He had enough speakers for seven banquets who alone said enough words to fill this report er's notebook. And they all had such new cliches too. - POUNDING THE BEAT: Ed Starnes picked to run for one of the Publication's Board seats. . . . Bob Colbert, managing edi tor of the Yack, interested in running for editor . . .and who are all those strange faces at party meetings during nomina tions? Alice Chapman- On Other Campuses WSSF, WSSF, and more WSSF was sprinkled all over newspaper columns last week. To those unitiated into the language of initials, WSSF signi fies the World Student Service Fund an organization that does everything from clothing students in bombed Germany to providing a warehouse dormitory for Italian students. The Campus Chest at Carolina will provide WSSF with a por tion of the total it receives in the March drive for funds. But drives for the organization in oth er colleges have already netted a tidy sum to send world-wide. The University of Chicago gained $500 in its first week of contri bution. The midwestern insti tution set $2,500 as a goal for their student-to-student giving. WSSF secretaries from Ger many, from Japan, and the na tional officers are touring the country to enlist student support for education abroad. Not the least of these visitors is Makoto Fujita who was loaned to the University of Hawaii by WSSF. On a scholarship from the org anization, Makoto knew exactly what he was talking about in requesting $1,850 from the Uni versity. As of the past week 19 is an undesirable age for any North Carolina male. All 19-year-olds at the University of California share that feeling because this Express Yourself Editor: One thing has me most per plexed: The DTH is over-sexed.

As Dan Duke theorized and concluded on race and religion, as Controller Carmichael begged for more funds for NC College to keep Negroes in Durham, as brotherhood week drew to an end, Northwestern was blowing up a storm of attitudes and preju dices of its own. The inter-dorm council recommended that the ad ministration assign roommates "without reference to race." This means that in independent hous ing units Negro and white stu dents will live together. A minor ity protesting this plan will be respected and their names not placed on "the housing list to be assigned irrespective of creed, race, or color. The plan is ef fective this semester.

This is the most sprawled-out, the most up-and-down, the most mountainous, and the most dirty city I have ever set eye or foot on. It's not friendly; it's not hos pitable and it's definitely not a Tar Heel type of town. Frisco is good for a day of sight-seeing and a night of party ing and then it's all washed up. For sight-seeing, I recommend the cable cars. They're antiquated trolleys with open sides that peo ple hop on and off with a care less abandon that would strike terror into the heart of any nor mal traffic cop, but occasions not even a frowning glance from San Francisco's Finest. I rode the cables for several hours in the afternoon. I'd hop on one line, ride it for a round trip, and hop another. I saw the whole town that way, from Fish erman's Wharf to Chinatown. For partying, all the tourists go to the Top-O'-The-Mark for at least one snort. It's not worth it. If you're smart, you'll get a John Once Upon A Time Once upon a time there was a rabbit named Elmer. As a boy Elmer was a very smart rabbit, and right after high school he got a scholarship to go to college. This was very fortunate, because it not only offered him a chance to learn more, but kept him out of a big stew that many young male rabbits were getting sucked into at the time. In college Elmer studied very hard, and soon he became a graduate rabbit, which meant he was too smart to study with the other rabbits, but not smart enough to teach them. It was at this time that Elmer learned he would have to special ize if he wanted to become an ex pert, which was, of course, the aim of every graduate rabbit. Elmer discovered that all rab bit knowledge was divided into two areas. The first was the study of the tops of carrots, with an emphasis upon the importance of sunlight. This was called greenology. The other area was a study of the roots of carrots and the affect of rain upon them. This was the science of rootology. Elmer chose the first field, green ology, because his major profes sor was one of the leading pro ponents of this field. Elmer then got down to real work, and studied very hard and wrote many articles, which some how or other were always printed under the name of one of his .professors. He dated often in his free time (you know rbabits) and once even got to see two movies in a single quarter. He joined all the proper professional socie ties, and one day his advanced standing was recognized when he was investigated by a congres sional committee. One day after completing a very interesting paper about greenol ogy, Elmer took the document to his major professor. However, he cational television, and no raise of taxes to alleviate the situation. The Iowa State paper writes, "one would expect starving children to be holding out beggingbowls in the streets and hungry farmers to be grazing out over dry, parch ed, worthless land." H JAAN EEANS. . ms r I t mmm Hauser- At Large bottle and go back to the hotel. San Francisco is a marvelous, place to commit suicide, whether you're planning on it or not. Just step out into any street at al most any time, and at least one or two cars will do their best to cut you down. And if the cars don't get you, there's always a cable car bugging down the hill which will handle the job. If you're looking for good food, almost any place down on Fisher man's Wharf will fix you up. There are a number of restaur ants down there where you can select the crab or lobster you want to eat while he's red hot and red as the Ace of Hearts. If you're a hot-shot with a Ko dak 35, there's always Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge to fill your lens, and if you're a maritime fanatic, you can watch the ships and fishing boats come and go to your satisfaction. And if you're like me, you'll be ready to move on at the end of the first day. Next stop on the . road to Tri angle Hill: Camp Stoneman, Cal ifornia. Gibson was out of town on a lecture tour, so Elmer asked some other professor to read it. Unfortunate ly, he made the mistake of giv ing the work to a rootologist. This wise rabbit studied the pa per very carefully, and then told Elmer, "Well, son, this is a very interesting piece of work, but of course it is useless." Elmer ,was very disturbed, and asked why. "Well," went on the au thority," everybody who is any body knows that rootology is the only real science, the only real discipline that will ever yield any useful information. Green ology is all right for folks who have nothing better to do, but it is really pretty much a waste of time. Everybody knows that the only significant part of a carrot is the piece that you eat." Elmer was very disturbed, as you can imagine, and when his professor returned he went to him and told him the whole story. "You must not be dis turbed," said this old sage, "rootologists talk a lot, they have too, because they never really come up with anything interesting. You stick with me, boy, and I will see that you are president of THE SOCIETY some day." Elmer was a little reassured by this talk, but it started him thinking. (This is perhaps the most fatal mistake one can make.) Can it be, thought Elmer, that both the top and the bot tom of a carrot are important. Might not the sun "affect both the greens and the root, and might not the amount of rain have importance to the whole plant. This seemed like a pretty good idea to Elmer, so he wrote a paper about it, and gave one copy to his own professor, and one to the rootologist. Well, you can imagir what happened. For the first time in their lives, the rootologists and the greenologists got together, and even more amazing they came to a common decision. Elmer would have to be liquidated. They would have done it, too, but they could not agree on a method. THAT LADY T mo with vnn 'DLs. ? 1 liV TV f
