PAGE TWO THE DAILYJTAR.HEEL SUNDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1953 The Twain Meet What's Cooking? . Phoenix-like, from the ashes, left over fforn.a recent big birthday blast Jor President Eisenhower came a spirit whose influence will.be Ion? felt certainly long, after the birthday party is forgotten. This spirit grew in the forrn of $175,000 worth of fellowships "which are to be given to students for work at foreign schoolsand to foreign students for work hem. .The?el lowships are to be given in President Eisen howers name. kC;SJrKfXf7A Following the memorable exairipof the Rhodes scholarships, these dsjicross-the seas scholastic porjects are befcpihing TOre numerous and The Daily Tar Heel considers this a healthy trend. Recently, plans yere kn nounced for Marshall plan scholarships; now the name of our first citizen lias been;added to the list. tV:-'"vJv ftn A challenging contemporary g thought, which ties in with the announmjeritipf the Eisenhower Fellowships, wasjptovidedythis week by Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, who spoke on this campus last year. Mrs. Roosevelt spoke at the eightythird annual Congress of Correction, ;vwhrcji; was held under the auspices of the American Pris on Association. This is what she said , "We taught most of pur children in the past a lot about our ovti country; but (yery little about the rest of the world. Many of our people who go out to Europe and Asia are representatives of business and govern ment who haven't the remotest idea of what they have to conbat in the form ol commun ism or of other forces loose in the, world to day Many of our boys can't define de mocracy or what they themselves actually be lieve." . v..-::' Need we repeat the old adage that to fight the enemy successfully, one must Ifoow him? Out of ignorance conbined with a blind will to fight, comes only wasted motion. If we are to beat global communism, we. must have it sharply defined in our minds. Not only must we know what Marx, Engels,' Lenin, and Sta lin thought about pure theory,' we must konw, too, what twists daily ' through the mind of the Chinese or Polish man to make him turn to the Red god. It. is. w.ithin. the-in-tellectual make up on EuropeandAsja. that we are going to have to search, if we are to make these continents realize that commun ism off paper is no good. If we continue along the pattern of thought of Mrs. Roosevelt and those who have established the Eisenhower' fellowships, perhaps we can make this phoenix symbol of the immortal soul the symbol of democracy.

Night Editor for this issue: Louis Kraar " Omeeomy!"Things are in an awfully poor state at this Univer sity. -.' ; There are less than 300 people working on the Yack, The Daily Tar Heel, and the Quarterly com bined . . . and students drink at the ball games! What will we ever do about that? And another thing . . . Practically nobody tut NOBODY votes in campus elections. They just don't seem to give (if you'll pardon the ex pression) a damn who gets in of fice. Why, there must have been over 2,000 students who didn't vote last time there was an elec tion. (When was it?) And furthermore, the students don't even care enough about student government to (if you'll pardon the expression) bitch when a bunch of hot-winded holy reformers get in office and mon opolize the meetings to the dis credit of those who are there to really do something about things within the scope of their power and near-sightedness. Oh, it's reaHy' pathetic! Let's face it, Levin; things ain't as good as they could be and they never will be. (Unless you subscribe to the streets-of-gold theory.) " - : . Sure, the publications on . this campus need more help to get out copy in a readable form, but only so many students are inter ested in publications. After all, writing (?) a column (?) for The Daily Tar Heel isn't the only in gredient in the ideal college cur riculum. Another thing, Ronnie . . . Maybe the group who have to get school spirit from a bottle on football Saturdays just fell into a habit during the past few years and will be brought out of it by the present team (who look pret ty damn good, don't you think?). Let's admit that it's hard to maintain a frenzied school spirit when you're constantly on the losing end. That celebration of the Uni versity's founding was impres sive, wasn't it, Ron? (I trust you were there . . . ) Those who did n't go missed, as you said, an im pressive and stirring ceremony . . . Well, let's leave it at that; they missed it. Does that brand them anything? Does that keep them from loving Carolina as much as you seem to, but for a different, and quite likely as wholesome, set of reasons? You made a few nice remarks about the honor system, Ronnie, and are to be commended for them, but to condemn the entire system for its discrepancies is not wholly wise, and neither is judg ing a great school (or any group, for that matter,) by Its worst member. Rush (Continued from Page 1) from 9:30 next Sunday night to noon the following Wednesday. Pledge Day is Wednesday, Oct. 28, noon and after. Informal rushing usually contin ues after Pledge Day. Interfraternity Council officials pointed out the following rules: 1) .A new student must visit each fra ternity for which he has an invi tation' dn the first or second night. 2) Rushees must observe the hours of rushing. 3) A rushee must not shake-up until the given day. YOU Said It Leveling Levirr - Passing Remark Ron Levin Last Sunday I got the bright (?) idea to try my little red motor cycle out on the highway. Can't you just see it now. Here goes little unsuspecting Levin the Road Rider lured by the call of the open road scooting out to ward Durham to see my good friend Ed Spicer who runs the Harley Davidson agency over there. Well, I must admit that was the ' worst idea I ever got, the saddest play I ever called. I am lucky to be alive now. I am lucky to be. sitting here writing this column. Never before in all my life havi I run across such a complete and . varied collection of speed dem- ; ons, homicidal maniacs, juvenille road runner, and utter idiots to say nothing of fuddy duddies and blind toms. I start out toward Durham with the wind in my face and the sun to my back. What could be bet ter? (In answer to this question I think a quiet afternoon at home listening to the symphony would -have sufficed just as well.) All of a sudden I see a car coming down the road. I knew something was wrong. Either he was on the wrong side or I was. I made a has ty check to find I was right, but all in vain. I blew the horn,; turned .on fhe i lights, waved a handerchief and even yelled "Beat Wake Forest" for the greater part of a minute but it was no use. The jugger naut rolled on. Wellanyway, after I had, push-; ed the motorcycle back up the side of the shoulder from the ditch and straightened out the frame, not to mention setting my arm, I was off again. This time I came up behind a car with two old ladies in it. They were traveling at the sup ersonic speed of 28 miles (count 'em, 28) an hour and probably awe struck by the "supejb thrill of it all". I pulled out to pass and what happens? I get up to 50 and they're still with me. I drop back down to 28 and they likewise. This goes on for several minutes until I finally pull out in a burst of speed and as I go by the open window I see one of them writing in a little black book and saying, "Oh, goody, that's the eighth one today and it's not even four o'clock yet. But accepting this as one of the many hardships facing the American traveler I once again something about fool kids on ahose fool contraptions and driv es off this time taking my right saddlebag with him. I stand there in the street and rant, rave, scream, and tear my, hair. I stamp, sizzle, and steam. I cough, sneeze, belch, and tear the other hair out. I get down on my knees and appeal to the great traffic god for help, but it is no use. A Durham policeman comes along and takes me in. "But what're you taking me in on?" . . ' "I'm booking you under 502 . . . putting money in a traffic meter on Sunday. This is punishable from 10 to 20 years in the . . .

Editor: ,:. -' :' .'Your young hero, Ron, everybody listen to me, -v Levin, has given his readers some insight into the :way a progressive church can fill in what is miss ing in church service today. I can see the church bulletin now: "Will Jonah escape from the whale? Will Salome be successful in having John the Baptist "beheaded? Come back next week to see our most thrilling episodes. See the serpent hand his seductive apple into the audi ence in amazing 3D (ushers will pass out glasses along with collection plates). See firsthand newsreel shorts of the falling of the walls of Jerico along wi,th selected shorts." ' Levin might have also suggested setting up a smoking and cocktail lounge for the Sunday night service. Or he might have volunteered the service of his combo for prayer meetings. Music and danc ing would certainly liven things up. " A church functions through its people. The lack in our churches today, Levin, is not a lack of enter tainment, but a lack of people with the strength and energy to make the church work. Another thing: What is the relation between a man getting drunk the other night and his qualifi cations as a testifier? If Long's testimony is au thentic, how do his private habits enter into con sideration? This "rather drunk, disheveled indi vidual" offered his knowledge of secret Communist activities to the government in its fight, however - . blundering it might be, against unAmerican activi- i ties while this "good American business man" re- fused to answer any questions whatsoever that might have, led to the uncovering of Communist conspir- . - acy here in te United .States:. vl think that a it's, about , time that "Passing Re mark" was passing off the paper of The Daily Tar Heel. Carl Gregory Hit 'Em Again While skimming through The Daily Tar Heel the other day, I noticed the article by Ron Levin which attacks, among other things, the Carolina Honor System. I'm afraid that Mr. Levin's attitude is shar ' ed by all too many students here at U N C, and for this very reason, our honor and campus codes are not as effective as they could be. As a member of the Men's Council I have been, for the last year, in a position to see the workings of our student courts, and to note their weaknesses. Believe me, I'll be the first one to admit that there are faults, and they surely need to be corrected. However, I for one feel that comments such as Mr. Levin's serve no useful purpose, and I'm sure that if he and the other critics who are so free in voic ing their disapproval of the system, would channel their efforts toward its improvement, everyone would be much better off. I've heard too many people say "The honor sys tem' doesn't work" and when asked why, they feel this way, they are quick to reply, "Oh, I've seen people cheat many times". It never occurs to these people that fhey themselves are the chain's weak est link, and by failing to report violations they merely encourage further breakdown of a system which is based on principles as basic as life itself. Truthfulness and honesty are basic tenets of our way of life in this country, and I'd venture to say that no one on this campus would fail to report, to the police, someone they saw breaking and entering. 'The honor system, here at Carolina, is nothing more than our set of statutes which are designed to pro tect our own type of society. I would therefore encourage the cynics to direct their boundless energy into more constructive paths.

I approve heartily of the tempo of music played by the band this year. To my knowledge, this is the first year the band hasn't played everything at a pace better suited to "Our Best to You" than to a football game. Now, if we could only get the cheerleaders to give us some snappy yells rather than those long, " drawn-out, "slow Carolinas" something that could be rattled off between plays. My advice would be to concentrate less on the loud and "dramatic" and more on "pep yells." Les Jenkins P. S. Dear Mr. Cheerleader, Sir: You're coming in loud and clear over the P; A. system.

Let me congratulate Ron Levin and particularly" you on your magnificent articles in Thursday's issue that have made all us wayward college students bow our heads in shame. A real pillar of the University you are! ;3 . It must give you a great sense of pride in know ing that you can see yourself up as a shining ex- ample of what the typical Carolina student should be About ten years from now you'll be able to sip ' a highball while you tell your colleagues about all the nice books you read just killing spare time in the library. What a great hang-out! And I'll bet they really get a bang when they hear about your thrilling romps through the neighboring woods on weekends while those "no damned good students" were partying in fraternity houses. I side with you on the fact that there are some students who show a definite lack of interest in University activities. But I believe you will find that everywhere, my friend, and nothing can be done about it as long as people take that attitude. Are you really as perfect as you have implied? I don't think so, chum. And didn't you know that people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones? Have you ever considered going to Dook? You should because you belong there with all the rest : of the hypocrites.
