PAGE TWO THE DAILY TAR HEEL TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1953 'Sometimes I Wonder What's In These Darn Things' New Faces, Old Hands Passing This editor of The Daily Tar Heel is not given to campus curtsies for every Boy Scout deed of the day, but we feel that this year's Freshman Camp program deserves public re cognition. ' It was very well planned; , it had interests to meet any wish; it was informal and produced- many friendships, among visiting faculty and administration as well as the stu dents themselves; the campers learned things about their University before they ever saw the campus itself. , ... ... With applications being turned away for lack of facilities, the camp enjoyed its greatest year. The freshmen were lucky and if they didn't know it when they got there they knew it when they left.

Giving away two diamond tricks insured making the three no trump contract displayed in yesterday s lesson. Today, had declarer been as generous, he would have had his contract in the bag. The opening lead was .taken in the South hand with the ace. Declarer didn't waste too much time thinking, he felt confident that he had more than enough tricks to make six diamonds. So he imme diately Played four rounds of &niJnt dummy with a club. After cashing the ace king, queen of clubs (discarding a spade from his hand on the club queen), came the bad news. It was now impossible to make the contract. For, with the four-two break in hearts as well as clubs, o heart losers are inevitable. It does declarer no good to trump the outstanding club without an entry to cash the thirteenth. How would you have played this hand? The bidding was admirable. South's two heart "reverse bid" showed his partner a minimum of 19 points with five diamonds and four hearts. North, too, put in a good bid of five diamonds. This bid showed the likelihood of the king of dia monds and invites partner to bid six with second round control of the unbid suit, spades. Key play in making six is to give away the first club toick after extracting trumps. You now have twelve Sp.tricks: four clubs, five diamonds, two hearts and a spade. Don't make the mistake of taking the club "safety play" until all the trumps are in. A club return by East will defeat the contract. o,,ont nnWication of the Publi- J.I1C WJJ.ci.aji oi,ij-". jr cations Board of the University of North Carolina, VV licit i daily except Monday, examination and va cation periods and during the official Summer terms.

Night Editor for this issue: Rolf e Neill The gym was crowded and out of the mass of struggling stu dents on the floor a figure emerged, looked around hesi tantly for a minute then slowly but with a determined look ap proached a desk behind which sat a rather large, horn-rimmed face accompanied - by a rather large body, all of this concealed by clouds and clouds of a nauseous gray smoke. j "All right, now who's next," said the large, horn-rimmed face. "Well sir, you see I'm a freshman and I'd like to . . .". "Oh goody, a freshman. I've got a freshman." At this two other large gentlemen seated at adjoining desks turned to one . another and one said: "Darn that JenMn's luck. That's the sixth freshman he's had today." They both . went back to gnashing their teeth while quietly waiting for another victim. "All 1 right m'boy. Now what can I do for you? Come, come, speak up lad." "Well sir, you see ever since I was a little boy I've always wanted to be a doctor and I thought since to be a d . . ." "A doctor. Wonderful. Splen did idea. Why didn't I think of that. Oh yes, now you'll want to take some (chuckle) good courses that will help you in your work. Now,.. . ." "Yes sir, you see I brought along a list of courses that I thought . . ." "Oh you did, did you? Well, wasn't that thoughtful of you. Give me the list. I say boy, THE LIST. There's the good boy. Hmm zoology, , psychology, botany, chemistry, physics, English, so cial science, and German. WHERE IN THE NAME OF GEORGE DID YOU GET THIS LIST?" "Well sir, the catalog had a list of . . ." , "Catalog. Oh my poor boy. My poor, poor boy. Well, we can overlook that this time. In the future remember. Your ad viser comes before the catalog. I never again want to hear that word mentioned in my pre sence. Now, I have in mind some splennnndid courses for you. Doesn't that make you happy. WELL, DOESN'T IT?" "(Gasp, moan, awk, fap), yes sir." "Now at seven o'clock . . ." "But sir, couldn't you . . " "At nine, Business Adminis tration 71.

Passersby in front of the gym were a little disturbed a few minutes later as a figure screaming in a rather high voice dashed out of the front doors, down the steps and into the street only to be run over by a graduate student on an English bicycle. Eye Of The Horse Roger Will Coe- Washington Merry-Go-Round Drew Pearson i it WASHINGTON Margaret Tru man, if she ever runs for Con gress from Independence,. Mo., as reported, may turn outvto be a smarter politician than her dad. In addition to a gorgeous sense of humor, she never fails to say the right thing at the right time. Sometime ago, Sen. Joe Guffey's sister came up to Mar garet at a social gathering and dropped one of those dynamite loaded h a v e -you - stopped - beating-your-wife questions. jTm so glad to see you," Mar garet replied as if she was too young and innocent to under stand the question. "You are looking so well today." Then out of the corner of her mouth she said to a friend: "Did you hear what she tried to do to me?" The other day when the Inter nal Revenue Bureau gave the ex president a $165,000 favorable tax ruling on his new book, some one brought in a copy of a paper with a headline reading: "Harry makes $165,000 on taxes." . Margaret looked at it, and laid' it on the coffee table, face up A friend beside her picked up the paper and turned it face down. But Margaret turned it face up again. "Why do you do that?" asked the friend. Replied Margaret: ' "There's nothing on-the other side about the Trumans, is there?" By 'the time this is published, President Eisenhower may al ready have appointed the succes sor to Chief Justice Fred Vinson. He has several fine men to pick from, among the finest being Governor Warren of California, probably the broadest-gauged executive in the 48 states and the District of Columbia. However, in reviewing the can didates, my mind goes back to a period 23 years ago when the politicians crucified a judge. It was a period somewhat like the last year or so of Harry Tru man's administration, when one part y t h e Republican w a s about to fade away, and when the opposition party challenged everything it did. As in Truman's day, every nominee sent to the Senate for confirmation was scrutinized through a microscope; sometimes through a kaleido scope that made the politicians v see all kinds of colored prisms at the other end. . Hoover was inept and unpopu lar; and the chief indoor sport on Capitol Hill was kicking him in the shins. No matter how good the candidate whose name went to the Senate, the solons saw all sorts of sinister shapes and colors lurking in his background. It was in this atmosphere that the name of John J. Parker of Charlotte, N. C, U. S. Supreme Court of Appeals judge for the 4th Circuit, was sent to the Senate as Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. There arose immediately a hue and cry of opposition. The Na tional Association for the Ad vancement of Colored People un earthed a decisJon by Parker which was interpreted as unfair to Negroes. Labor leaders un earthed a decision which they in terpreted as upholding the yellow-dog contract. But more than anything else Senators saw a chance to embarrass Hoover. And they fanned the flames of ora tory until labor and Negro groups all over the country were writ ing letters demanding that Par ker's appointment be blocked. Looking back on that period, I have always felt ashamed. I was a young reporter covering the State Department then and had no occasion to write about the Parker battle. But had I been covering the Senate I would probably throw as many verbal rocks as the other fellow, It was the popular thing to do. Probably the crowds that yelled and threw stones on Calvary 2,000 years ago were not much differ ent from the political crowd that threw speeches, editorials and verbal stones at Judge Parker in 1930. In the end he was defeated. And like some others who have been pilloried, Judge Parker took his defeat in silence, v.ent back to his Court of Appeals in Char lotte and proceeded to become one of the finest judges in the nation. All sorts of honors have been heaped upon him. The Na tional Association of Colored Peo ple, which helped defeat him, has sung his praises. Many labor leaders have done likewise. But Judge Parker has never achieved the distinction of sitting on the highest court of the land. I don't know that he still cher ishes that ambition. He is a little oldeij now 68 though vigorous and robust. But if President Ei senhower should appoint him, it would, in the o'"ion of a great many people, riht one of the most grievous political rrongs of the last two decades. ("Ttie horse sees imperfectly, magnifying some things, minimizing others. . ." Hipporotis; circa 500 B. C.) THE HORSE was cleaning and oiling a spectacu larly long-barreled rifle in the lee of Morehead Planetarium. I hadn't known they made rifles that long? "I don't know who they' are, but 1 am happy I am not accountable for what you do not know, Roger, me boy," The Horse murmured. He put his eye to the business end of the lethal weapon, and his eye dis appeared from view. "This is an elephant gun." Were there elephants here abouts? "Nope. Mainly jackasses." Was he going to shoot jack asses? "Nope. Mice." Didn't The Horse think he was wasting a lot of power, on something quite innocuous and small, using an elephant gun to shoot mice? "It is stylish to hunt thusly," The Horse said. His disappeared eight-ball eye reappeared. "If it takes Holy Joe McCarthy, Jenner and practically the entire North Carolina press to run Milt Aber nethy to the ground, I feel quite sporting in using an elephant gun on mice. But Holy Joe and Jenner have to make a show of earning their salaries; and anything that sells more newspapers is fair, isn't it?" Was it? The Horse looked pinked, if I may use a word of that hue without bringing Uncle George a-whoop-ing. He was so moved that he galloped a mile in 1:36 25, and as you know this is but a shade worse than his Withers Stakes record. He came back to resume cleaning the elephant gun. "Roger, you old codger," he said sadly, "don't you know that what counts 4n Journalism is a big name, and a fat bank account? Who do you think you are Dana, or Bowles, or Greeley? Wise up, ya bum, or you'll be a spearman in some Shakespearian road show." I'd speak to my wife about it and see if she liked the idea. But what had this to do with Mc Carthy, Jenner, Abernethy and the elephant gun? "It's all a matter of proportions," The Horse chittered. "Or even of nomenclature. There is a right and a wrong way of doing a thing. I'll never forget when I was top horse at a Prince of Wales fox hunt some years ago, and a rich Texas rancher was asked to join us. Really, it was mortifying. He rode me in the hunt, and I blushed so that for sev eral years thereafter I was mistaken for a chestnut color. Actually." Couldn't the Texan ride? "Like a centaur," The Horse recalled happily. "Of course, he was atop me, too. But even so, he could ride. And all the English lords and ladies and titled visitors it was a very posh affair, everything fair dinkum, spit and polish, and such were amazed at his horsemanship. But it was his first drag, you see, so when the affair was over the Texan sought out Lord Jeeves-Psmith, who was Master of the Hunt, and asked him happily, 'How did I do, Jeevie?' "Lord Jeeves-Psmith, 'Ah splendid old chap! Capital doncherknow! Ripping! Oh, I say, raw-there!' "But the Texan saw that sort of frosty blue that Englishmen get in their eyes when things haven't gone just right. Like thy had cataracts, or some thing? And he asked, 'You sure I did okay, Jeevie? You sure?' "And Lord Jeeves-Psmith pulled at his lantern jaw a minute and then said, 'Er, just one thing, old boy. When one spies the fox, as you did a score of times in the hunt, one shouts "Tally-ho!" Not, "There goes the little red son-of-a-bitch!'" But I still didn't see "Someone," The Horse growled, as he loaded the elephant gun and started searching the bushes for field mice, "should teach Holy Joe and the North Carolina editors the word, 'Tally-ho.' That's the way I see it." Sometimes I wonder just how myopic The Horse is.

CHAVEZ: Mr. President ... a poem entitled "Give 'Em, or Ode to the Republican Administra tion, written by.C. R, Dowler . . . sets out, I think, with poetical justice, some criticisms of the give away program of the Eisenhower administration in respect to the people's rights and the people's prop erty. Give 'em the rivers, give 'em the lakes, give 'em the power the river makes. Give 'em the forests, give 'em the parks, for their own private use when going on larks. Give 'em the steel mills, one by one, and as for rubber, it's good as done. Give 'em the oil that's under the sea; they want it now, as soon as can be. Give 'em the post office, give 'em the stamps, give 'em the postmen, who walk on their vamps. Give 'em the A-bomb, give 'em the H; they've had only bread, now they're ready for cake. So Congress will frost it, and cut it in eight; they all will be waiting, not one will be late. Footnote During the pre-school Freshman Camp a bunch of the boys were whooping it up conversationally. Coed Susan Fink, the only coed at the camp, drop ped by and when asked what she was doing replied: "You don't think I'm here to lead one of these cabin discussions do you?" "Heck no," one frosh volunteered, "you're the subject of all these discussions."
