Night Editor for this issue: Rolfe Neill A Life Of Inspiration Everytime you get disillusioned about Carolina, you can turn your thoughts to the philosophy and good works of John Sprunt Hill who said as early as 1903, to the Alumni Associa tion, "I have come here today oh a mission of love and devo tion to the State that gave me birth, and to the Institution of learning that gave me a thousand times more than I can ever repay. The force of my remarks, therefore, will be directed toward doing something for the good of the University . Mr. Hill was and still is grateful to the University of North Carolina. When he mentioned remarks, he mean action. He was first chairman of the "Friends of the Library," an organi zation which seeks "to increase interest in the Library, multi ply its usefulness, and plan for its higher development." His work to secure a decent library for the University was invalu able. Mr. Hill was responsible for providing renovation funds to give the University an adequate music building. The Trus tees, recognizing Mr. Hill's continuing services and contribu tions, named the hall after him. Mr. Hill has given the Uni versity the Carolina Inn. His philanthropic interests go on. He established the Student Loan Fund during the bank holiday in 1933. He helped financially with the building of Graham (Memorial. Finally, Mr. Hill has served ably on the Board of Trustees and on the Executive Committee. His life has been one of lon standing devotion to Carolina. It is the kind of faith and service in a school that inspires us to think twice about the University, its achievements and its tailings. There is always the tendency to condemn the University for what it has not done. Yet, we must recognize its accomplishments. As future alumni we may be in a position to correct some of the failings, and to provide a richer basis for education. Mr. Hill should have been made a life member on the Board, of Trustees, instead of being retired by the peculiar Joint House-Senate Committee on Trustees. Such enduring service should be recognized not only by the University but by the representatives of the citizens of this state. Certainly, students are grateful for Mr. Hill's share in making this a better school. w , For The Navy The Naval ROTC toppecfall other campus organizations in contributing blood last week for the Red Cross Bloodmobile drive. Over 200 Middies made donations. The NROTC unit per centage was 60.2. For this effort, the future Naval officers deserve special commendation, Perhaps, they particularly realize the pressing need by our men in the Armed Forces for blood. DAILY CROSSWORD ACROSS 1.

Our campus having been over run by this creature peculiar to spring elections, let's take a look at its invasion of other campuses. One such group at Colorado A & M became highly ethical in its platform and put in a plank for democracy. If elected to of fice, they promised to provide for a second student party to make politics . more democratic. It was a real switch in the usual procedure or damming, denounc ing, and degrading all competi tion. But wait until next year when their offspring begins to campaign for its independent ideas! As the zero hour approached Iowa State candidates sought a new startling issue and found one in the mud. They would clean up the extensive clay hole that isolates the Service Building from the beauty of the surround ing campus. This party also pro claims the necessity of extending the phone deadline in women's dorms from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. So contrary to popular belief and sorrow there are issues that even SP and UP have neglected this season. The local party that wanted janitors to make up beds in the men's dorms really got misplaced. Apparently this plank was des tined for Princeton where a num ber of the men found out that they couldn't do without the ne cessities of life the janitors. A sextet of rooms there has been severely condemned as being in poor condition continually by in spectors from the dorm offices. This school has inspection twice a week at unexpected hours and without janitors the sextet will continue to be condemned with worse than a 7" by 12" sign on the front door. Wednesday April 15 was a day of sunshine for the ' Carolina campus but election day for the University of Michigan appeared in a deluge of grey and persistent rain. Disappointed politicians saw a meger (for that campus) 5,998 students at the polls in spite of the fact that the balloting con tinued for two days. Proudly UNC points to its Mock United Nations Assembly as do several other schools. At Cornell 59 colleges met to enact a General Assembly with the greatest deligation in the 26 year history of the conference. During the three day conference UN officials sent greetings and congratulations to the mock as sembly. Northwestern went full speed ahead with their assembly last week. Features of the three day conference were a walk-out by the Russian delegation, an ad dress by the Iranian delegate to the UN Security Council, Dr. Fatemi, emergency meetings of the General Assembly, and a typical discussion about repatri ation of prisoners in Korea. Even a model International Court was set up to consider pertinent con troversies. Express Yourself Editor: Why doesn't the 'all-powerful' Student Government try to do something about the bus situa tion? The less financially-able of us (car-less) have often to walk back from the bus station when returning from Raleigh on the 'Express' bus 'cause the driver refuses to let anyone off before he gets to the station over near Carrboro. If a bus stop could be established either at the Woollen Gym 'A' Dorm corner or even at the corner of Franklin and Columbia Streets it would real ly aid those of us who dread the long road back from the bus sta tion. Emmett Thompson Editor: I would like to express myself to the "red-blooded" Americans boys of this University as fol lows: Let's hope that your younger brothers and friends are more generous when and if. you ever need blood. Margharetta Elderidge "What's This Talk About An xtMS vJL. fir tu V issue I W-JM Drew The Washington Merry-Go-Round WASHINGTON Most people don't know it, but the art of fooling the public has now be come a major industry. Millions of dollars are paid to public relations firm has made up the public's mind for it. Here are two illustrations of this fooling the public racket just come to light. One is the manner in which certain women's club leaders were paid off and civic associations were formed by Carl Byoir and associates on behalf of the rail roads to combat the trucking in dustry. The other is a secret memo by the same Carl Byoir to Craig Sheaff er, now Assistant Secretary of Commerce, aimed at fooling the public into accepting a na tional sales tax. Sheaffer, head of the Fountain Pen Company by that name, is the same man who kicked up a national furor by firing the Dir ector of the Bureau of Standards because he was allegedly unfair to auto battery pepperups, Sheaf fer's background seems to fit into the Carl Byoir technique of fool ing the public. He was a heavy contributor to rabble-rousers Merwin K. Hart and Upton Close; . once became indignant at the way one of his pens was tested by the Bureau of Standards. Byoir, incidentally, is the same man exposed by a congressional committee as having received $6, 000 a month as a public relations representative for the Nazi gov ernment before Pearl Harbor. This deal was arranged by George Sylvester Viereck who later went to jail for failure to register as a Hitler Agent. The manner in which the un suspecting public is fed publicity under the high sounding name of some civic organization is illus trated by Byoir's organization of "The New Jersey Citizens Tax Study Foundation." The average taxpayer would consider this a most worthy cause, dedicated to helping him lower his taxes. However, a study of the backstage facts shows that the tax-study foundation was actually organized at the time Carl Byoir was launching his New I etrriN' Tieep op mole.' he $ay A YttN LIKE ME )& A UGLY Ot' PLAMIN60. srj WE GOTTA IZZYASWErr JN N CONVINCE I LOWE.R SUOBBOVIA DAISY - ONLV WAV TO A WO I D MAE AH TAXES IS TO CONWINCE ISPtlLLV GOVERNMENT YOU J DAID. rS ARE DAP. Ammunition Shortage?' Pearson Jersey battle of the railroads against the truckers. Furthermore, one of the in corporators of this supposedly impartial citizens tax study foun dation was C. Colburn Hardy, the man in charge of Byoir's public relations campaign for the rail roads in New Jersey. Also, court records reveal a long list of checks paid by the Byoir firm to Fred W. Goodwin, executive director of the sup posedly neutral Tax Foundation. These payments during the lat ter part of 1951 and 1952 totaled $3,700.58. In addition, two checks totaling $300 were paid to the tax foundation by the Byoir Firm direct. Finally a memo written by Byoir's chief public relations op erator in New Jersey to other members of Byoir's staff during, the trucks vs. railroads battle, reads: "We are also assisting in the formation of a new group: New Jersey Citizens Tax Study Foun dation . . . All literature, etc., from this group must be on plain paper and mailed from New Jersey." Some of the eastern' railroad executives who got euchred into this public relations campaign are not happy about it, say it was not fully explained to them. Carl Byoir's latest plan for fooling the public, this time re garding taxes, proposes to make dupes of radio and TV panels, University . discussion forums, etc., in order to put across a na tional sales tax. This secret Byoir memo, dug up by the Madison (Wis.) Capital Times and written for the benefit of the new Assistant Secretary of Commerce, Mr. Sheaffer, adopted the same technique of using civic organizations as fronts to fool the public. " 'Initial impetus' for the na tional sales tax," says the Byoir memo, "would have to come from a trade association, civic group, or by some 'name' spokes men demanding such a tax. "It will be necessary first to create an event which will de velop news items on the subject. "Another method," continues SCOT YOU KNOW HOW HE 6ay i vya6 a omc an' gotta migrate "TOUGH.

(Upon Being Elected President for Lite, United America) June 1, 1964 I suppose it was my liberal, democratic outlook which led the 531 delegates of the Ultra-Nationalist Party (handpicked by me for security reasons) to unani mously elect me last night to be President for life of United Am erica. The Party United Amer ica's only official State party was in solid agreement, a far cry from the haggle and tussle days of the two-party system. Indeed, the 531 EMSP (Execu tive Military Secret Police) Agents interspersed among the rowdy delegation to keep order reported that there was not one single incident of real dissen tion. They did report, however, that two delegates raised their eyelids and had a subversive look about them. A check into the Secret Security Files confirmed that these two have engaged in questionable or subversive activi ty before, so their trials will come up next week. Enlightened citizens today real ly can have no idea how back ward United America at that time, called the "United States of America" was before 1956, the year I was" first elected Pres ident under our primitive and obsolete governmental set-up. Peoples of that day did not have a security program anywhere near adequate enough to cope with the problems and dangerous influences which confront a free people. They didn't even have yearly, much less the weekly Purification Purges we have to day. (Incidentally, the National Security and Purge Council ask ed that I remind Americans that 2473 persons have been purged to date in 1964, as compared with 2168 to date last year. The Coun cil predicts that some 3000 more will be purged this year, and warns Americans to cooperate and report the slightest hints of un-Americanism like failure to smile while listening attentively to our glorious National Anthem, "McGurgle Freely Forever." Al ways remember the motto the Council warns that "a purge a day will s keep individualism away," and that it is best to re port your friends before they report you, for the life you save may be your own. Even before 1956 I had warned the Byoir recommendation to the now Assistant Secretary of Com merce, "would be a special one or two day institute on the sales tax question held under the aus pices of a business administra tion of a leading college. New York University through its so ciety of business advisory pro fessions, Columbia University through its Arden - Harriman symposiums; Cornell, Northwest ern, and many other colleges or ganize such sessions. They pro vide a good public relations ve hicle for launching a point of view." Switching to the use of un suspecting TV and radio pro grams, Byoir recommended: "A good springboard is to or iginate a Town Meeting of the Air (radio) for some place where an audience is available, such as a local chamDer of commerce meeting. The fee for such organ izations amounts to about $1,500 and the topic selected is general ly the one the home group selects. (Done very efficiently in Phila delphia for the MITAC account.

As early as 1950 I had demanded investigation in to the vast amount of un-Americanism which prevailed, and I cited documented evidence dis closing many examples of sub versive activity, (e.g., of particu lar interest were the Arboretum Cases of 1952 and 1953. These investigations revealed subversive activity of the lowest sort.) But during the Dark Ages (1950-1954), people seemed ab solutely blind to my reform pro grams, and my investigations and disclosures received only luke warm reception. To me this just confirmed how really widespread un-Americanism was in those days. I guess this reaction was to be expected, however. How could misinformed Americans know the TRUTH when so many un American magazines, reporters, Democrats, and Republicans con spired with Moscow in a smear campaign against me, But those un-Americans could not keep old Joe McGurgle freely aside. In spite of the incessant lies the distorted facts, the in famous character assasination famous character assassination the gun. I repeated my charges over and over until people be gan to listen. This worried the State and Justice Departments (now obsolete) somewhat, so they naively asked for my evidence for my charges. But those un Americans couldn't trick me. Since there was no one I could absolutely trust, I firmly re fused to hand over my evidence . to anyone, I just repeated my charges all the louder until san ity at last prevailed and people came slowly to wholeheartedly back me up. And then came 1955, the BIG year the year we finished our extensive investigation into edu cation. We disclosed the startling, fact, that while not all our tea chers necessarily were un-American about a good 85 per cent of them were definitely misguid ed and unfit to teach American youth. Consequently, my col leagues and I decided to intro duce what we called the Mc Gurgle freely Education and Cul ture Purification Bill.
