Ed Nina Gray, Jane Carter Night Editor for this issue: Dorman Members Of The Board The time: n a.m. April, 1955. The place: Raleigh, Legislative chambers in the State Capitol. - Governor: The meeting will come to order. Is there a motion to suspend the rules? Trustee X: So moved. Governor: All in favor say aye. All Trustees: Aye. Governor: Opposed, no. Silence. Governor: The ayes have it. We will proceed with the controversy over tuition. The chair recognizes the student Trustee representing students from the Consolidated Uni versity. Student Trustee: Governor, members of the Board: A Con solidated student committee in cooperation with faculty mem bers have found that approximately 500 potential students would not come to Chapel Hill or State if tuition were raised. The number for Woman's College would be about 350. The committee also found that the estimated number of potential students who can't come here now because of high tuition is well over that number. These potential students have drift ed to other institutions. We refer you to the UNC Chancell lor's report on the number of students who are working while going to college. Tuition at the first state university in Amer ica should go down, not up if we are to fulfill the initial purposes of William Richardson Davie. This is the State University. It is a center of learning where all who are quali fied, should have the opportunity of attendance. Tuition at other schools in North Carolina are lower. High tuition rates would merely shut off a source of students, a loss that would be hard to substitute for ..." This purely imaginary Board of Trustee meeting could be a reality. This could be a student talking to the Trustees with the rank of Trustee. The Trustees could hear the student viewpoint in action. A student vote would be registered. The suggestion made by Ken Penegar, candidate for president, is worthy of serious study. The old and occasionally true statement that the Uni versity is for the students could be made more real .by the seating' of an elected representative, of the students of the Consolidated University. Different Twists One candidate has a different approach. Instead of a handshake he gives you a condensed budget and waits for answers. ' The student's interest perks up. "I didn't know The Daily Tar Heel got $19,000 in student fees last year?" he says. Then the candidate says -he'll try and prove things by keeping students in mind. This education via electioneering is new to our knowledge. There is another candidate that has a new twist too. His sign says, "Politicians not wanted," then a check list of "Studying, Sleeping," or "Not Interested" is available for those who wish to remain undisturbed. The Daily Tar Heel hopes that students will want to be disturbed at least for the top presidential posts. Campaigning is one way of getting to know people, especially people who will be in important positions. A two minute interruption by a "politician" might prove valuable. DAILY CROSSWORD !

For these three days, we heard lectures, watched the UN in function, and discussed world problems with students from all parts of the country. On Friday, by coincidence, I bought a copy of the New York Herald Telegram which contained ironically enough, a front page editorial asking, "What Price Another Hill in Korea?" Jim G. Lucas, the author was deeply disturbed over- the stale mate in Korea. He wanted the answers to the why questions why are we fighting, why are American lives being sacrificed over a crummy piece of earth like "Old Baldy" for example. These are difficult questions. Lucas, however, decided that there were no good answers, no real justification for the United States and the UN to be in Korea. I cannot agree with him. Korea was the first serious challenge to the UN. While North Korea's attack on South Korea was a localized act of aggression, the aggression had implications of concern to almost all the ma jor powers especially Russia and the United States. The integrity and purpose of the UN were at stake: could the Communist-supported North Ko reans attack South Korea and get away with it? Was the UN des tined like the League of Nations " to disintegrate for lack of mili tary and economic support in disputes where crucial differences existed? The United States courageous ly intervened immediately a bold step in this experiment call ed international collective secu rity. As soon as possible, all but five of the sixty member nations voted their approval, and sixteen subsequently have joined and given economic and military aid to the United Nations forces in South Korea. This was a signifi cant precedent in collective se curity. And in Korea lies the answer to whether collective se curity will succeed, to whether the UN will stand or fall. If the UN is defeated or evac uates North Korea, the Com munist aggressor nations will get their cue: They'll know that they can expand "unimportant coun try by unimportant country", until the rest of the world wises up perhaps too late.- The League collapsed when Italy was allowed to take over Ethiopia. The UN will collapse if North Korea is allowed to take over South Korea. ' "Old Baldy" is a lousy moun tain. It is absolutely worthless real estate. It is of no economic or military importance. But. in that tiny, war - ravaged stretch of land, literally, is a world at stake. The stalemate is depres sing. Its sickening to see life after life go, apparently for noth ing but rocks and muddy slush. But as far as I'm concerned its better that we stop aggression now, not when we are on the brink of disaster or when it is too late. If the UN fails or withdraws in Korea, then NATO will remain as our only hope for national security. The many small nations which are not members of NATO will have no such security. They will be left to the whims of ag gressor nations. If the UN succeeds in working out a settlement in Korea, then the world will have an object les son in collective security. A prec edent will be established, and a way to stronger international se curity will open. . What price another hill in Ko rea? What price another hill in the United States? We are con cerned with the freedom and in tegrity of South Korea, yes, but we are primarily concerned with American security. The policy of appeasement has never worked yet. Why should we think South Korea will satisfy the Commu nists? Cox (Continued from page 1) Association and the American Heart Association. The Life Insurance Medical Re search Fund, a cooperative org anization sponsored by some 150 life insurance companies, was set up to provide opportunities for training or experience ir funda mental research, with preference to students wishing to work in the field of cardiovascular function or disease. . "Roll Out The x s '.r lite $ ll or2f& I Ron Flip As everyone on this campus realizes or should realize by now my column is written solely for the purpose of provoking a few laughs at scattered intervals from those unfortunate few who hap pen to glance at the printed lines and any dig, rib, or razz at any thing or anyone is done for fun, spelled f-u-n, pronounced fun, u as in Philadelphia. My column in Friday's edition mentioned a few of the more interesting types of personalities to be found on cam pu, and as I said in the article it was only a partial rundown on these types. I took for granted that everyone or nearly so had a working knowledge of Joe Col lege. Now it seems the one I thought least important has be come a center for ridicule and criticism. But Albert old chap, (A. Z. F. Wood to you readers) don't get me wrong. I understand that your column Sunday was aimed at the type I left out and not at me, but here the issue be comes strained somewhat. You see, though I myself ride an Eng lish bike smoke a pipe, and like to be by myself, there are defi nite traces of Joe College inside also. This throws me under the juggernaut of your category in Sunday's edition, and I strongly resent your attack on poor Joe. Sure, I wear white bucks. They 're darn comfortable. They last a long time, and get dirtier quick er than any other type of shoe. I have no convertible, but would not turn one down if offered me. I like Marilyn Monroe, and if I didn't I would run, not walk to . the nearest psychiatrist. I don't play poker, but play in a dance band instead to make a few bucks to ease financial strain. I like Jerry Lewis solely because he's funny and for no other reason. Being a musician myself I happen to like at times Ray Anthony, good Dixieland, Bop, and what have you. I not only like it, I play it. I would love to go abroad to Paris but have neither the time nor money as I am strug gling to get into medical school and one fine day, psychoanalysis. At times North Carolina does be come boring, but if I didn't think it was good enough for me, I as sure you I would take off like a herd of turtles to points unknown.

You see there is another side to the record. I have a small col lection of good serious music which I add to as my pocket per mits, and I would rather read, not Spillane (though it does sell) but good, really good literature. Noth ing would please me more than to discuss the life of Vincent van Gogh and other similiar artists, not only in art itself but any other field of creative human endeavor. Perhaps this will give you some idea, that all Joe Col leges are not of the type you de scribed. In fact, no one can draw a sharp line between types and say that's it. I did it in fun, merely for a laugh. The majority of Joes are swell guys. Okay, so they don't stimulate you intellectually. So they make seventy-six on an Archaeology quiz. So they drink beaucoups brew and date and perform other similar normal human functions. Is this a crime? When I have no desire left to mingle with the opposite sex I hope I'm six feet under. I'd never turn down a cold beer on a hot summer day (in fact the day doesn't even have to be hot, in fact it can even be winter) and about Marilyn Monroe she can't act, but gad what personality. And another thing any senior that doesn't go barefoot on Sen ior Day either has no feet, one foot, thirteen toes, or such a stodgy frame of mind and so highly conservative that to him or her, going barefoot is a step backword in evolution to the days of our primitive ancestors. Oh brother,, have they been away! In short, Al, if you can't en joy some of those things you mentioned, then I really feel sor ry for you. Okay, so maybe you feel sorry for me. Here we are two sorry mothers. Sure El Greco Shostakovitch, Maughan and Wilde are wonaerful and I love them too, but to shut out completely the contributions of the modern contemporary society is just as bad as being a rabid fan of gal lons of beer, Lewis, Anthony, and going barefoot on Senior Day. If Joe College likes all this then Dorman Cordell Stewpot Once upon a time, at a fictitious institution of learning, the in mates, better know as students, were romanticists. Since they re fused to face the truth whenever it could possibly be avoided, they had invented a little game. Now this little game was known as politics and the prize was call ed student government. And the Students played this game be cause they had outgrown playing house. But this game is some what the same because in both games you play like you are mom my and daddy and are running things. Of course, if you do some thing you shouldn't, mommy and daddy are still around to apply the hairbrush. However, the fact that their game was only make-believe nev er fazed the students. In fact, most of them were quite happy with the whole thing, and even talked about the "influence of student government." And every time they were allowed to do something, the students would all celebrate and say, "Oh boy, just look what student government has accomplished this time." And they were so happy that no one ever pointed out this was like saying, "Oh boy, I caused it to rain," when you were wishing it would rain and it did. Two or three times a year, all the boys and girls would hold a big celebration, which they called an election. And two or three little bunches, calling them selves parties, delegated candi dates for n office known as pres ident. And sometimes one or two others called themselves indepen dent candidates for president. The main purpose of these elec tions was so the candidates for president could go home and wow all the farmers by telling how "I am running for president up where I go." This made a big hit with the farmers to see how silly the younger generation acted, once they got away from home and returned for a visit. And the farmers all felt much better about having quit school after the eigh th grade. Now, in the world of grown-ups, which was' what all this was cop ied after, there were campaigns before elections, so the players decided they would have cam paigns too. And candidate A would go around and say, "B is a draft-dodger." And candidate B would go around and say, "A is a drug-store cowboy." Ah, yes, vile epithets were hurled by one and all. Just before the election, cam paigning would get hot and fur ious, and all the candidates would go around interrupting studies of the more worthwhile students to try to "influence" a vote. Then, on election day, all the campaigners went down and vot ed for themselves. And all the members of the groups that called themselves parties went down to by all means let him. To each his own, and let him revel in it, let sleeping dogs lie (I've run out of slogans) but for gosh sakes don't get so darn bitter that just because you can't enjoy some of these things, or don't want to, or don't know how, that you must criticize and ridicule those others for doing so. Why not turn the record over and play the other side. You might even like it. And if you are not doing anything" special next Tuesday night drop into GM and watch Jerry Lewis on TV. He's a riot, try it ... vote for their candidates. And all the other students went out for a short beer. A winner was announced, and he got a chance to make a speech and to get his name in the paper. And then the student politicians, as they called themselves, left everybody alone until the next election neared. But eventually, even as do all good things, their school days came to an end. And the students went out into the world of Demo crats and Joe McCarthys and other horrible things. And they learned to act like grown-ups. And eventually they had their own children who went off to an institution of learning. And the ex-student politicians watched their own progeny become stu v dent politicians. And they all sat around in the evenings and said, "Weren't we silly back then?" The moral of this story is: Don't run for president of the student body. Get yourself elec ted as a trustee. Rolfe Neill Tarnation No Redress The new issue of Tarnation, full of some excellent jokes but otherwise pretty inane, begins with what strikes us an unwar ranted apology. Someone (presumably Ed. Tom Alexander) spends a half page groveling and recanting about material run. in days of yore and (again presumably) material to be run in days to come. In effect, this frontispiece asks those whom it lampoons not to take offense, for it says, "In many cases the very, very roughest treatment will be delivered toward those whom we like or admire the most." This is hard to believe. Rather, we think, it is an overt act of reconciliation toward several Uni versity administration members who were pretty brutally pilloried in a recent Tarnation issue. With the exception of Gordon Gray, whose profile was obviously ex aggerated, the other Administra tion stalwarts victimized by Tar nation were very thoroughly and accurately caricatured. Tarnation need make no re dress. Issue No. 3 out of the labyrinths of Graham Memorial lacks much stirring, witty material. However, the cartoons are excellent, a de partment which has kept this rating through three issues. We'd like to note that Putnam Davis Jr., Put Davis etc. is the only cartoonist we've ever read who signed his name differently to each work. Several other of the line drawings very effectively parody the local scene. Cartoonist Vogel, evidently the aquatic minded staff member, does a couple of good ones on bathrooms and swimming pools. Through History with Stanley R. Smith and Art Einstein makes puns readable in a double, page, center section spread, and Ham on Wry is up to its usual self. Editor Alexander says Issue No. 4 is aborning and will be out before the robins are well returned from Florida. If he gets as good a cover on it as Jerry McMahon did on Issue No. 3, the printing cost will be worth the cover alone.
