Night Editor for this issue: Dorman Cordell Trustees And Politics Senator Grady Rankin's suggestion to the State Legislature tha is is "bad policy to elect folks from the Legislature" to serve on the Board of Trustees is good advice. Rankin has told his subcommittee, whose job is to select new trustees, to bear in mind the person's qualifications, where he or she is from, and his affiliation (whether from Carolina, State or W.C.), The senator doesn't want to exclude Legisla ors because that would shut out a man, who perhaps might be a trustee but who wanted to run for the Legislature. But he does think that the preponderence of Legislators on the board is unnecessary. He wants board members to thoroughly rep resent the people in the state and yet to take it out of political. The Daily Tar Heel agrees with the senator to a degree. Having legislators on the board helps in matters of appropria tion. A legislator who is continually facing the electorate has an opportunity to tell the citizens of the state about the uni versity. Another contention by Rankin is more worthy of atten tion. He notes that there are 56 UNC members on the board, with State and W.C. having a minority of the 100 seats. Rank in, a Carolina graduate himself, thinks that State and W.C. deserve more representation. The committee selecting the new members (there are about 27 seats, either vacancies or term expirations) should take this matter into consideration. A Priceless Stroll A walk at sundown around this area is revealing. Away from the clutter and noise of the city (this little vil lage of Chapel Hill is almost a city), students can get an in finite amount of lazy enjoyment from nature. Right opposite Cobb Dorm and the Monogram Club there is Battle Park. Around Kenan Stadium, there is a wealth of Springtime re minders. Along Morgan's Creek, on the Pittsboro Road there is plenty of nature to enjoy. !1 ilic cater parts cl the campus or the surrounding coun tr viand are too far, just stroll on the campus proper. The dog wood blossoms are readying to greet you. The red buds are still with us. In front of the planetarium there are azaleas. A stroll through the arboreum will bring relaxation and inspira tion to the weariest. We know students who have been here for four years that never got nearer to nature than a "short subject" at the movies, or a required biology course. They won't even take the time to look at the flowers, or even the moon at night. Their life is a life of buildings, signs, and cement walks with no trees, no bushes, no birds. - You don't have to know the names of the plants or the vines. You don't really have to figure out whose chirp sounded last. All that is necessary is a pair of willing eyes, and perhaps, .some energetic legs. DAILY CROSSWORD n ACROSS 2. 1.

Jim Wilkinson- Cultural Lag Everyone past Freshman so ciology knows about the Cultural Lag. A rehash of the cause and effect would be as dull as the minds that allowed it to happen. Briefly it is this: Scientists and technologists in our society are -winning in the race to get some where who knows where first. The laggard is that element loose ly defined as Culture. A favorite device of anyone who sees he is losing a race is to sidestep the main Issues and turn in wrath and vituperation upon whoever is out front. The motive is simple it deflects attention, at least momentarily, from the lag gard. This device has never been bet ter illustrated than the current clash between these two elements Culture and Science. Admitted ly the lag has taken on serious proportions. Science far ' more than Culture has proved itself to be accululative. New theories and premises are established on old ones, oftentimes before the old ones themselves have had a chance to be digested. It's a snow ball effect we get, a wild head long plunge that has gained un believable momentum and long ago lost any sense of direction. We dare not call it progress. Bet ter we term it an age of experi ments, and of course we all know who the guinea pigs are. But wise or unwise, sane or insane, that is the situation in which we find ourselves, the Culturalists and the Scientists alike. Where do we go from here? There are only two real alterna tives, backwards or forward. Peo ple don't "plan" to go backwards, at least not consciously, so we'll rule that one out. Say everybody agrees we want to go forward. Well, let's not wor ry about the technologists they seem to be making out all right. Let's take a look at the laggards. How are they meeting the chal lenge? For the most part they have adopted a most dishonest and backhanded approach. Recently there has broken out in the press and on the rostrum a rash of cow ardly attacks upon all those who don't admit to the same set of values. The attackers would nev er think of placing the blame on their own weaknesses. They en joy being martyrs to the machine age they find it easier than l-iilinS back. It's not a question of the ideal ist versus the realist, but rather the "doer" versus the slackard. An idealist can take positive ac tion as well as a realists. The trouble is those who bemoan the Cultural Lag discuss antidotes in the obscure terms of pseudo-intellectuals who actually don't give a tinker's dam about what hap pens to anyone but themselves. They would panic at the very idea of taking any sort of concrete steps one way or the other. They prefer to languish in their own stagnant pools of self-pity. Ifs these flaccid, nebulous - minded characters that are the real stum bling block. Their very weakness is the cancer that is killing in centive among their ranks. Of course a 20th Century Ren . aissance would be the answer. But we may have to wait along while for another such age of enlight enment. In the meantime, those caught in the backwash should not try to pull themselves up by lower ing the level of competition. Let them rather, direct any reflec tion upon themselves and see if they can't come up with some positive solutions, some real works, ideas that fairly jolt the world with their truth. They had better let the world of science alone there's little they can do anyway and concentrate upon their own shortcomings. Dedication (Continued from page ) dress the convocation. Greetings will be extended from the. various professional societies. That afternoon there will be sep arate meetings for doctors, dentists, hospital officials and nurses pres ent for the dedicatory exercises. Dr. David P. Barr, professor of medicine, Cornell University Med ical College and Chief of Medical Service, New York Hospital, will address the physicians' group. "If A Fire Breaks Out I'll Louis Party Line Lowdown On Penegar Ken Penegar, who believes in having a student member on the Board of Trustees, who eats in Lenoir Hall and who doesn't wear ties to class, talked about his campaign the other day. We - approached the Student Party's favorite son in his favorite eating place and asked him what he wants to do if he is picked president of the student body. He downed the last swallow of his iced tea and, pushing aside his plate, started his political pep talk. "The reason students don't have respect for their student govern ment," said Mr. Penegar enthusi astically, "is because they can't see any benefits from it." He went on to say just what bene fits student government would dish out if he wins this presiden tial race. "I'd like to save the students some money for one thing," said the former Di Senate Speaker, former Student Union Activities Board chairman, Carolina Forum chairman and ex-fencing team member. Thrifty-minded Penegar said that he would like to see the practice of compulsory payment of Athletic Association fees done away with. "Why, there are grad students and many others who never go near the gym and still have to pay ten bucks a year in fees." Penegar has held just about all the positions in student govern ment that one usually holds when he aspires to the presidency. Like the rest of the SP candidates for executive posts, he's a fraternity man, a Kappa Sig. We asked him if his political poster represents an innovation since it depicts him without the typical politician's necktie. Grow ing a little serious, he said, "Why, that's nothing new Ham Horton's posters last Spring pictured him without a tie." He added, though, that this wasn't the sole factor that won the race for the Univer sity Party candidates last year. "You know," said the SP presi dential candidate who someone talked of the other day as looking i "V ri .m: 1 7 m 1 I TXepJS p,r ' fie rccu f-ii e I ' WHATMTH6 EVE 1 19 A mmo&. Vf? I - . ' .

I'm starting tonight to go around to all the dormitories. If there's anyone I don't get to see, I sure hope they'll drop by and see me up at Old East." Since three other candidates are running against him, we ask ed him if he thought there might be a runoff. He responded with a broad smile, "I think so." Fin ally after some more questions about a runoff, Penegar said, "As suming that I am in the runoff, it will probably be against Bob Gorham." Gorham is the Univer sity Party candidate. The other aspirants are independents Wade Matthews and Tommy Sumner. Finally, we asked him wht he thought would happen in the run off and Penegar reminded us of the presidential race in 1951. Ken's big brother, Dick was the UP candidate and he lost. The winner, said Ken with an expression of party pride, was Henry Bowers, the SP candidate. Bowers beat the independent Ben James in a runoff. We turned to leave the Student Party's Penegar, and he asked, "You're not going to print any of , ,1 MY FLYIN 9 A EU6TV. 31 ; - 1 I 1 -J 0 -rv- Tarheel Indeed The State Department of Con servation : and Development has published a new promotional pamphlet. The title of it is: "North Carolina The Tarheel State." Think of it! An agency of our government is giving al most official sanction to this mis spelling of Tar Heel, the nick iname of our State. That comes under the heading of dirty work at the intersection. And it becomes even worse when that dirty work is compounded iby dragging in General Robert E. Lee's name to sugar coat the jpill. In a section called "Facts About North Carolina" it is baldly Stated that Tarheel was the name applied by General Lee "to de scribe the sticking- quality" of North Carolina Confederate troops. General Lee may or may not Ihave said that. But the point is that the origin of the name goes back to the time of the American Revolution. When Lord Corn wallis was marching northward, he crossed the Tar River near what is now the town of Rocky Mount. A part of the river is shallow at that place and the British troops easily waded across. However, the soldiers noted that after they had crossed the river a black sticky substance clung to their feet. It was fresh tar that had been dumped there (by the tarmakers who had thus disposed of their boiling tar rath er than have it fall into the hands of the British. Weeks later, when Cornwallis surrendered at York town, his soldiers still had tar on their feet, and they swore that the people in North Caro lina must all have tar on their heels. But the worst thing that the Department of Conservation and Development has done is to Jmerge the words Tar Heel into one. All these years true North (Carolinians have uttered and written the words distinct and apart. At Chapel Hill it's the jDaily Tar Heel. The song goes: "I'm a Tar Heel born I'm a Tar Heel bred, And when I die Fm a Tar Heel dead." The change is outrageous. Those of us who were born Tar Heels may have to die Tarheels jif the Department of Conserva tion and Development has its hvay. Making one word of Tar Heel is as crazy as merging other good words for no good reason. North icarolina has a Generalassembly now in session that ought to call officials of the Departmentofcon servationand Development on the carpet and ask them if they have ever heard of the Tarriver, At lanticocean, Essequamvidere, and (Billumstead. There ought to be enough cap ital H's left in Raleigh so that Tar Heel can be spelled the way at traditionally has "been spelled. The Winston-Salem Journal this are you?"

However, this col umn has obtained a copy of a con fidential plan, drawn up by the Civil Aeronautics Board in 1943 land carried out since then, to idrive the non-sked airlines out of .husiness. These airlines sprang up after .World War U and carried cut Irate, cross-country passengers who couldn't otherwise afford to fly. Most of the outfits were started on a shoe string by pilots just back from the war. Ironically, they were encour aged and set up in business by the same CAB that later starting shooting them out of the skies with economic regulations after they gave the big airlines compe tition. At one point, the CAB was forcing the non-skids into bank truptcy so fast that the Senate In terstate and Foreign Commerce Committee called for a "stay of execution." The Senate small 'business committee also raised such a fuss that the CAB prom ised to try to find a place for the non-skeds in the aviation in dustry. What the Senators didn't know was that the man the CAB put in charge of this study, Louis tGoodkind, was none other than the author of the secret blueprint to wipe out the non-sked air lines. Goodkind's secret plan was to repeal the blanket authorization that allowed the Non-Skeds to operate, then force each line to come before the CAB separately either for a certificate to operate ,as a regular airline or for per mission to continue on a non scheduled basis. "Either procedure has the ad vantage of affording a means for iultimately terminating the opera tions of this group of carriers," iGoodkind brazenly wrote in his secret memo never supposed to leak into print. "A second reason in favor of either proposal," the memo con tinued, "is that it should not lay the board open to criticism of 'stamping out, without due proc ess, these carriers which they have permitted to come into be ing. . . ." Dated September 16, 1948, Goodkind's master plan to wipe out the non-skeds was followed to the letter by the CAB, which is supposed to guard the public Interest, not protect the big air lines from competition. On April 18, 1949, the CAB abolished the blanket authoriza tion an dordered the non-skeds- to file individual applications if they wanted to stay in business. Of the first 103 applications acted upon, 78 were utrned down jcold, thus forcing them out of business. No decision was hand ed down on 14 applicants, where as only ten were approved. Sig nificantly, the ten that got the OK were too small and insignifi cant to give the big airlines any competition. This was also according to Goodkind's blueprint, which made the point that "the small (non 'scheduled) carriers continue to perform a negligible amount of (See PEARSON, page 4) fc-.r-" OKAY- JO bO NCXTR - v . 1 iiu r, -wm rriL rrf r ' si bikve i i .WfiflCAU l CAN GlTOCP ATALU.
