PHOTOGRAPHERS: Cornell Wright, Ruffin Woody, Bill StonestreetT Night Editor for this issue: Dorman Cordell An Opportunity No one quite knows what the Consolidated University Student Coun cil is supposed to do. The council members themselves aren't so sure, especially since they have been haggling over constitutional matters in the last few years. However, the council has done effective work in the past. Last year, the CUSC drew up a resolution condemning some of the activities of John Clark as a trustee. The council has initiated greater cooperation among the three schools oh the student level by sponsoring Consolidat ed University Day. Now, another opportunity has come for the council to act. Both presidential candidates wanted a student representative on the Board of Trustees. W. Frank Taylor, trustee and president of the Alumni Asso ciation, likes the idea and thinks it possible. Taylor invited students to make a formal proposal to the Executive Committee in May. A CUSC resolution to the effect that student government presidents from the three schools be represented on the board would strengthen the move. Chancellor Edward Kidder Graham of Woman's College believe stu dents, as an organic part of the University, should also be available for policy-making on the consolidated level. CUSC should not lose sight of this opportunity. For the Record Last minute efforts to find something wrong with Bob Gorham's expense account last week failed. Individuals within the Student Party, however, were able to cast a tinge of suspicion on President-elect Gor ham's expense account, which was legally O.K. He had the same diffi culty as many others running for office, overbuying, and then not iising posters. Under the present election law, a candidate can buy a lot of material for a cheap price knowingly, and then not use it. He saves money this way and at the same time gets a lot of posters. The $25 limit of expenses for presidential candidates prevents the candidate from overdoing it We don't suggest any revision in the law since candidates usually don't intentionally order over their expense accounts. President Gorham deserves the support of all students. He is the winner and he has plenty to do. At the same time, Gorham should be receptive to the good ideas mat were presented by his opposition, such as a student member on the Board of Trustees. A Cawze For Thawt Some educaters tell us that studunts whoo cum to colledge are hampered in ther thinking becawze they have spent too mutch time just lerning to spel. These educaters say our langwidge shud be sim plified in its speling, so that everyon wud have an eezier time of it. We aggree. If our teechers had not spent so mutch time on speling and sutch things, we cud have lerned more about esthetics and cultur and the like. May we sugest that those in Old South who are pade to consider sutch things consider sutch things. D.C. DAILY CROSSWORD ACROSS 1. Addition sign 5. Afresh 9. Network 10. Bellow 11.

I want to thank publicly all 940 of my sup porters during the recent elec tion and extend my warmest, personal thgnks to those thirty or forty who worked hardest for my election. My party and I will strive continuously to see that so large a minority is not forgotten. While the campaign was not cal standpoint, it did provide an opportunity for discussion of ideas, education about student government its workings and problems, and a time of re evaluation of the role and aims of student government in light of current student needs. The students have made their choice, and I, of course, will abide by their wishes; but I will not stand idly by during the forthcoming administration. My party and I pledge to the campus our ready support of any good measure done In Its behalf. At the same time we pledge our selves to keep a constant vigil to see that no injustice is ; done.. the students, our campus, or student government. It is not an easy role that of the opposition but one that requires great l tenacity. It is, however, one of importance, for without it there would be no assurance of re sponsible action by the party in power. Again we accept this role, not without regret, but at least without bitterness. I did not seek the office of President flippantly. For me it was a high call for service, nobly sought. It could be no less re garded by anyone. It was a hard fight to lose, and I think I must know how that great American felt last November, when he said that it was like the little boy who, after stubbing his toe in the dark, said "He's too old to cry, but it hurts too much to laugh." Again I wish the new admin istration success in all its good endeavors and may it always keep ' the .best interest of the campus at heart. Sincerely, Ken Penegar Ron Levin Passing Remark Funny how some guys are never satisfied. Harvey Tilles had a cast on his leg for six months and couldn't vait until he took it off, and now since he's got to take physical ed, he wishes he had it back on. What's with these 3?3ych majors?

Once upon a time there was a fellow named Don ; Dupe. Now Don was a very well-meaning fellow and he was all hipped on the idea of crushing nay, an nihilating segregation. Segre gation to Don meant discrimina tion and discrimination meant slavery. Well, Don started his campaign to end segregation by writing col umns for The Daily Tar Heel. He lambasted the evil institution every time that he wasn't blasting congressional investigations. His columns were 'fairly popular for no one liked McGurglefreely and few defended segregation. The Don Dupe supporters were also at a loss as to what to do about segregation; it was a delicate problem and hda to be handled vith kid-gloves. After Don graduated, he con tinued to lambast segregation and his supporters began to push him for political office. For they reasoned that Don, being a col lege man, would have enough sense to handle the problem tact fully. Also he was from the south (at least he went to a southern university), and he would be no crack-pot like Henry Wallace or Mrs. FDR. He knew what the problem was at first hand. At length Don was elected president of the United States and just about that time five members of the Supreme Court died and Don appointed Paul Robeson, Harry Truman, Walter White, Henry Wallace, and Mrs. Roosevelt. Then too, Don had won the presidential election in a land-slide and both houses of Congress were jammed with civ ilrightests. It is said that one of the senators from Pennsylvania was Thaddeus Stevens. Don immediately set to get ting all sorts of laws passed: an FEPC law, a law making segre gation in schools, primary and secondary, illegal, a law disallow ing separate drinking fountains, toilets, movies, and stores, a law forbidding fathers to advise their daughters not to intermarry, and laws making it a felony to think that colored! people were any dif ferent from white people. No one was- legally allowed to have any prejudices, predilections, or pre ferences and America would be one great happy family HOW eiDICKLE-MOLfe OP IMS TO 6lTAAD AT OL' HOUN'DOS FOR6 J EVEN TALKS TO HIM. mm wM I IS HAD ENOUSHOP THAT MOuS I'll &r Ol' 0AVGAJ?

Wood, Jr.- A Law Disregarded . was the fact that less than a hundred years ago a bitter civil war was fought and was followed by an even more bitter period of reconstruction in which was born the Ku Klux Klan, the only means of protec tion of the southerners, and in which bitterness and antipathy had been deeply imbedded and passed on to succeeding genera tions. Disregarded was the fact that each succeeding generation was ' becoming less and less bitter, less and less narrow, less and less prejudiced that slow ' but sure progress was being made all over the south, that in 1952 there was not a single case of death due to lynching in the south, that the state law officers and courts of adjudication were digging into unfairness against the Negro as, for example, at the Myrtle Beach affair and the reversal in the leering case affair, that Negroes were serving on southern juries more and more, that the barriers were being broken down in a painless and permanent process. Attitudes were changing and many were beginning to regard the attitude of racial superiority as outmoded as the doctrine of the Communist Party. But when President Don got his laws passed, all this was un done, and the clock went back to the 1860's and 1870's: That year there were seven more race-riots in Detroit and 74 deaths due to lynching than in Louisiana alone. All the Negro baseball players were kicked out of organized ball and when the Supreme Court ob jected, Larry Doby and Willie Mays were lynched and others never tried to get back in again. The membership of the Ku Klux Klan rose to 28,000,000 and Howard University was burned to the ground and Louis Arm strong's trumpet was smashed. Four Negro doctors were killed in Alabama in two days and a riot in Harlem took 739 lives. Everywhere there were unwrit ten laws which commanded four times the respect as the written Federal laws. Negroes no longer rode on the back of busses, no, they didn't ride in busses period. Negroes got very fair trials (just as they had before Don became 'COU5JS6 OL' fOUN'POG'LL PZO&IX AY: TAKS ITA5YS (NOT BEIN' STIEKBP YT $OIU AI?6U WITH HIM TH ?'

V ' j Golden Fleece Man Of The Who The Golden Fleece tapping is a campus tradition of fifty years standing. The public ceremony in Memorial Hall . on April 27, at 7il5 p.m. will be the dramatic event that those who have seen a Fleece tapping remember. In celebration of its fiftieth anni versary the Fleece plans to heighten the drama with the an nouncement of the Fleece Maa of the Half Century chosen from among their number by his five hundred fellow members. Late in February ballots were sent out to Fleece members scat tered all over the world. With the ballots went a letter request ing them to vote for the living Fleece member who stood high est in their estimation. As the ballots came in there was little question who had the vast ma-; jority. This man will be in Me morial Hall on April 27. Those who chose him will not know who he is. The Giants, symbols of the legend of the Fleece and of its quest for worthy men will come into Memorial Hall. Quietly and slowly they will move down the central , aisle. They will choose without hesitation the Man of the Half Century, the man known to them and not to his fellows. Who will hesitate to be there? Students have always joined with English Language Study We would like to reprint an ex cerpt from a speech that U. S. Commissioner of Education Earl J. McGrath made on May 3, 1952, at a meeting of the Central States Modern Language Teachers Asso ciation in St. Louis. It's urgency is obvious and acute: "The social, the political, the in ternational reasons for the study of languages deserve the though ful consideration of all who de termine the character of Ameri can education. There are, of course, other arguments for the study of languages . . . But for the average citizen the basic con sideration ... is our world posi tion as a nation . . . This small world is one in which . . our children will live even more in timately than we with their con temporaries in other lands. Whe ther we discharge our world re sponsibilities well or poorly . . . will be determined by our ability to understand other peoples and their ability to understand us . . . Only through the ability to use another language even modestly can one really become conscious of the full meaning of being a member of another nationality or cultural group. It is in our nation al interest to give as many of our citizens as possible the op portunity to gain these cultural insights ... "Educators from the elemen- president) but nobody guaranteed what happened after the trials. And the Negro children didn't go to school anymore. Then Thomas Hamilton got out of jail, ran for president against Don and won by 531 electoral votes to 0 for Don. What followed cannot be re corded for all books were burned and there is no written account of what happened. UK& AS NOT.

The Man of the Half Century will be hap pier for it. Alumni will be there. Those who have been closely a part of the University as students and Very closely part of it as Fleece members will return to be glad in the addition of more students to their number. Faculty, and administrative members of the University, town residents and , visitors - will be there to take part in this annual occasion given a new significance on this its fiftieth recurrence by the selection of the Man of the Half Century. It will be a big crowd. It will be excited and good humored. Faculty, students, alumni, staff, townspepole, friends of the Uni versity and visitors will all be together, waiting eagerly. . Who will hesitate to be there? Hear ye, all Theta Chis. I hear, or at least Hook told me that Jerry has sworn off cigarettes and on to pipes ... is this true Jerry? You've been listening to Sid lagain. Those boys from Hender sonville are no good for you, Jer ry. They do things differently up there. Club tary school to the top levels of the university system ought to give immediate attention to this mat ter . . . The citizens of other nations excel ours in using for eign languages, and the principal reason for this superiority is that they have the opportunity to study languages early in their lives in the school system . . . Only a small percentage of Amer ican children have an opportunity to begin the study or use of a language other than their, own before they enter high school. Yet it is a psychological fact that young children learn new langu ages easily and idiomatically . . . "Greater emphasis should be given to language study in high schools and in colleges for the same reasons . . . Enrollments in foreign languages have fallen relatively in both high schools and colleges in recent decades. Again in view of the world situ ation this decline has been unfortunate ... If proper steps are taken, these trends can be reversed. We cannot wait . . . "To gain the popularity it de serves, language study must in my judgment be made more func tional . . . The spoken language should be emphasized, and the many modern teaching methods and devices that have been so successfully employed put to maximum use. Moreover, unless language study is related to his tory, sociology, art, geography, and the other aspects of life which make up the totality of a culture, it will remain at best only partly alive . . . "This is a matter which deserv es the earnest consideration of all members of the academic pro fession and of all laymen as well . . . " Yr mst Obt, Hmbl & Dvtd Srvt, Pandarus
