Importance Of Sidetracks
The following excerpt is from a chapter on Youth in a
book entitled Humanity and Happiness by Georg Brochmann,
translated from the Norwegian. Editor.
Among other strange elements in the happiness of youth
is the sweet pleasure of believing that one doesn't give a damn
about anything and is headed straight for hell. It becomes an
even more zestful sport when parents and kinfolk stand around
wringing' their hands in impotent sorrow.
But there is no point to our depriving youth of this plea
sure. After all, it's ridiculous to try to close the switch where we'
ourselves had so much fun getting off the main track and
where we now see our sons and daughters making just as big
fools of themselves as we did. Sidetracks have their function.
The sidetracks of life have, among other uses, the function of
sorting out the youngsters who aren't good for anything except
to be youngsters, of letting those who are made of putty and
string disappear in the scrap piles where they belong. The
others will get back on the main track in thir own good time.
Our first duty to youth is education, quite a different thing
from sermons. We must educate youth for the difficult art of
democracy by letting young men and women participate as
much as possible in the functions of democracy. It is not
enough to lower the voting age; youth must be given respon
sibility as early as possible and learn what it means, learn for
itself what it is to live intensely and dangerously. We must
give an opportunity for the development of youth's valuable
competitive instinct, not merely through those sports, like
football, which demand courage, presence of mind, and
strength but also through participation in the struggle of life.
A younger generation which has no chance to fight for some
thing has the feeling of rotting away, and this was what dom
inated a far too great part of the youth of the prewar years.
Two for One
Students generally don't have much money to toss around.
Yet as future citizens, they will be asked to give to charitable
organizations. And they will ivant to give to national and in
ternational funds cancer, heart, ved Cross, Radio Free
F.urope, and others. That is why we have a Campus Chest
each year. The main purpose, of course, is to raise money for
special causes on the home front, and for students on the in
ternational front. Another purpose, however, is to get' you in
the habit of srivins.
You will have two such chances, the first one beginning
Monday, to contribute to the World Student Service Fund.
This year there will be two knocks on the door instead of one,
primarily because the old pledge system hasn't worked out well.
Here's how that was handled: You signed a pledge for
fifty cents, a dollar, or more, then you'd either misplace the
pledge, throw it in an empty drawer, disrgard it, or forget it.
About two month later the guy who made the initial appeal
came around and you didn't remember that there was such
a thing as the Campus Chest.
The two-fund campaign this time will give you a chance
to specify as to where you want your money to go, and at the
same time, give you an opportunity to give to one fund if
you have missed out oh the other.

The Mob
"Steady Now Pal Don't Hamstring Me In My Work"
A Mob, according to Webster,
is a promiscuous collection of
people, and is always referred to
"in the singular. The individuals
,.who compose a Mob are as cells
in a human body or in the body
of an animal, such as a tiger. (A
tiger is a member of ' the feline
family, and is predatory,cruel,
and motivated exclusively by in
stinct.) A Mob is nearly always de
structive. It destroys things tan
gile like lives and things intan
gible like respect or pride.
A Mob is never progressive in
the long run. It may accomplish
a temporary end by overthrowing
the status quo for a few years,
but it will always get enough
rope to hang itself sooner or la
ter, and something worse than the
overthrow status quo will emerge,
such as Napoleon Bonaparte and
Joseph .Stalin.
A Mob always has leaders,
though sometimes the leaders
themselves don't realize it. And
there have never been leaders
capable of controlling a Mob once
it, has gained momentum. The
Mob has strength and desire to
begin with All it needs is a slight
push like a very small snowball
on the top of a steep hill. Once"
that push is given, there is no
stopping the snowball that quick
ly becomes an avalanche. An av
alanche doesn't stop until it hits
something hard.
In many instances, the individ
uals who compose a Mob are
downtrodden and discontent and
starving, as in the French Revo
lution. In more instances, the in
dividuals are frustrated and cow
ardly. Acting as individuals, they
are reckless, inferior, and inca
pable of self-expression. Acting
as components of a Mob, they are
cruel, childishh, and very dan
gerous, and this makes them feel
respected and powerful. For this
good, feel that they are feared and
is the only possible way they can
express themselves, and with im
punity, for they are responsible
only to the Mob, and the Mob is
a temporary being. Its existence
terminates forever when it dis
perses. At best, only the leaders
can be punished, and they didn't
know what they were doing when
they pushed the snowball. Leaders
are a dime a dozen, and" they are
inferior to what they lead.
Mobs are to be respected and
feared, for they are powerful and
they have impunity. Mobs are to
be hated, for they are cruel and
cowardly and childish. Whether
it's a lynch Mob or a Mob of neu
rotic, overgrown adolescents yel
ling their fool heads off at a bas
ketball game, it is an extreme
manifestation of animal instinct,
a headless monster. A Mob can
not be stopped by intellect or
reason. The only thing that can
stop a Mob is another Mob.
So after I graduate in June and
someone asks me where I went
to college, I'll say, "I went to
UNC, but please don't hold it
against me."

Tar Heel
At Large
Camp Stoneman, Calif., This is
a smallish and uninteresting Army-Air
Force base crouched in
a flat valley tucked between the
Bay and the green mountains
which ramble up and down this
usually foggy section of the Cali
fornia coast.
It hasn't been foggy here for
the past few days, however, and
the Carolina-like spring weather
has me homesick for Chapel Hill.
Even the nearby mountains, nor
mally buried beneath cushions
of cumulus and shrouded by
gray sweeps of mist," stand forth
to remind me of western North
Carolina.
Duffield Smith of Dallas, Texas,
an adopted Tar Heel and recent
graduate of the University Air
ROTC -program, is stationed with
the permanent party here, and
isn't too happy about the distance
between the California and Caro
lina coasts.
I told Duff my opinion of San
Francisco, and he decided to
prove that I was wrong. Se we
headed for Frisco for an evening.
Before dark we drove out to
the Cliff House by the Seal Rocks
and watched the seals enjoy the
cold brine for a while, and then
we struck out for the Mark Hop
kins just as darkness came.
We had to fight our way
through the lobby to get to the
express elevator running up to
the Top O' The Mark, because an

The Washington
AAerry-Go-Round
Exactly what happened inside
the White House when a group
of congressional leaders were
briefed on the international situ
ation has had the world guessing
ever since. Just why did senators
emerge from the White House to
pronounce the state of the worlds
"Grim."
Briefly here are the nonsecu
rity highlights of what the con
gressional leaders were told: .
1. .The Chief Friction Point Is
!
imported bagpipe band was play
ing a concert down there to cele
brate the dance of some Scottish
society or other.
With the help of an old friend
from Tennessee named Jack Dan
iels, we" settled down to enjoy the
celebrated view of Frisco from the
top of Nob Hill, where the Mark
,is located. The sweep of the city
is truly impressive from there,
if ycu go for sweeps of that kind.
At night, it is especially so, with
the glittering lights of the Gold
en .Gate and Bay Bridges flanking
the hearth-warm glow from the
center of this immense metropolis.
We had dinner at a little place
in the International Settlement
just off Chinatown called the
Iron Pot. For a buck fifty, we
picked up a five-course meal with
a juicy red and marvelously ten
der slab of roast beef as the piece
de resistance.
The evening was topped with
a session at Goman's Gay Nineties
and a walking tour through
Chinatown, where the inhabitants
were celebrating the Chinese Lu
nar New Year with thousands of
crackling fireworks which would
send a Chapel Hill policeman to
Oix Hill in a state of - nervous
frenzy.
Goman's Nineties is definitely
a night spot to visit if you find ..
yourself in Frisco some day. It's
a family-type watering place
which features amusingly risque
floor shows, but which leaves the
vulgarity and the strippers to its
more tawdry brothers in the met
ropolitan tenderloin.
Berlin. Intelligence , Chief Allen
Dulles, brother of the Secretary
of State, warned - that the Com
munist Party might try to squeeze
us out of Berlin this spring. Dulles
could not predict whether they
would try to choke us off with
another ' blockade or send East
Germans into the West sector to
stage serious riots. However, he
warned that trouble was coming.
Meanwhile, the Air Force has a
master plan ready for another
Berlin airlift to be used at the
drop of the red flag.
2. Drive In French Indo-China.
The congressmen were told that
the Kremlin was likely to hit the
West in Several places at the same
time, and one of these, according
to Allen Dulles, is French Indo
China. Russian and Chinese lead
ers, he said, had been conferring
on this recently.
General Bradley, however, claim
ed the Chinese didn't have a large
army on the Indo-Chinese border,
though he said guerrillas and sup
plies did seem to be pouring Into
Indo-China. As " a countermove
Dulles urged that American sup
plies be stepped up to aid the
French. The French, he said, were
asking for a 5-year plan during
which we would send half a bil
lion dollars worth of supplies
each year to Indo-China.
This brought an exclamation of
surprise and incredulity from Sen.
Alex Wiley, chairman of the Sen
ate Foreign Relations Committee.
3. A Communist Drive on Ko
rea, General Bradley reported,
was not to be discounted. The
Chinese are using a new rotation
plan and have put two new di
visions in the front lines. Unfort
unately, lifting the embargo
around Formosa hasn't drawn any
Chinese troops out of Korea to
defend the mainland oppoite For
mosa. The Chinese Communist
force in Korea remains one mil
lion men.
On the other hand, the United
Nations has 10 per cent more
American troops in Korea today
than on January 1. The reason,

Reflection Upon A Swindler
"Chicago, Feb. 9, 1952 (Special) A University of Chicago Si
dent who set up a counterfiting operation 'to make money to g,
through school' was arrested here recently ..." (News story,
Daily Tar Heel, Feb. 10.)
There's a kind of cerebration
And of ratiocination
That is common to the prison and the college,
For remission of tuition
In exchange for erudition
May eventuate in several kinds of knowledge.
Though the catalogue will mention
Universal comprehension
And the names of all the ways for you to gain it,
What you really will acquire
When your need of it is dire
Is the skill that will enable you to feign it.
In Cosmology, Zoology,
Or Cultural Biology,
' Or Studies in Atomic Economics,
You'll be able to succeed
Although the only test you read
May be the polychromic Sunday Morning comics.
Which is indication ample
That at Harvard, for example,
There's a moral tone that some cannot but censure,
And that inmates up at Yale
Share with those in any jail
Something more tnan their abbreviated tonsure.
Oh, a truculent psychologist,
A spleeny entomologist,
A chemist who will brook no imperfection,
May intimidate you briefly,
But his net effect is chiefly
To accelerate the process of selection
.Which eliminates veracity"
In favor of audacity
And cultivates the tendency to cheat.
For we find to our elation
That disguised imitation
Will turn the academic trick toute suite.
So when pleading with a judge
Not to bear a foolish grudge
Acquaint him with your academic bent,
And a tale of slow decay
In the sordid quest of A
May persuade a thoughtful Jurist to relent.
Then the Court will find a need,
As you learnedly do plead
For some recognition of your better parts,
And your sentence, it is plain,
Will not be -a ball and chain,
But a Doctorate of Extra-Legal Arts.
Bradley said, is because other
U. N. units had to be rotated. Any
big U. N. drive in Korea, the con
gressmen were warned, would
cost us total casualities of around
50,000 men and would not be
possible without sending more
American divisions to the front.
4. Cooperation In The Balkans
The Secretary of State, John Dul
les, reported one favorable piece
of news, namely that three tradi
tional enemies Turkey, Yugo
slavia and Greece will sign a mu
tual security pact which will great
ly strengthen the West in the
Mediterranean. This will bring
pressure against two satellite
neighbors Albania and Bulgaria.
Dulles was also pleased about a
prospective Mediterranean de
fense pact which would include
Egypt, England and the United
States, as well as Italy, Greece
and other Mediterranean coun
tries. His brother Allen, however,
painted a pessimistic picture of
Soviet propaganda in that same
area. He said the Kremlin had
stepped up its efforts to woo the
Arabs and that hundreds of so
called Russian diplomats were
working night and day to per
suade the Arab governments to
trade with Russia and to ditch
any idea of joining the Western
Pact against Communism.
This Russian sweet talk, plus
the Kremlin's break with Israel,
the congressmen were told, is
having ita effect. And added to
our stalled plans to bring Ger
many and France together in
Western Europe, this means some
success for Moscow.
5. Financial Headaches Bud
get Director Joseph Dodge re
ported on the headaches of fi
nancing the world program. He
declared flatly that there is little
chance of balancing the 1954 bud
get or of reducing military ex
penditures during the coming 12
months.
It was this . pessimistic report
on finances and the difficulty of
balancing the budget that made
GOP leaders emerge from the
White House to announce that
the world was grim. Actually it's
no grimmer than it has been for
some time.
