Phi Takes Policy Stand
To Back Up Statement
By Babbie Dilorio
The Phi has decided to say what it means and mean what it says.
"We speak In truth," said Don Angel as he opened discussion on
the point brought up in connection
"with the following statement by
Syd Shuford quoted in the Daily
Tar Heel Wednesday.
"The decision rendered tonight
could quite conceivably be made
on the quality of the debate; and
as a matter of fact, many of the
decisions are," said Shuford.
It was definitely decided that
members would vote on the merits
of the bill presented, not just the
quality of debate.
"Freedom of speech is more
valuable today," said Dayton
Estes.
Debators should be willing and
able to stand behind their state
ments, the Phi agreed.
Shuford, in explaining the rea
son for his statement to the Daily
Tar Heel, pointed out that when
the Assembly debates topics, the
opinions expressed are closely
scrutinized by everyone on campus
and it might be wise to include a
non-binding reservation.
Shuford recalled the repercus
sions which resulted when Trustee
John Washington Clark wrote let
ters to prominent students asking
their opinion on the question of
segregation.
On the newly established policy,
the Phi continued with debate on
the bill advocating segregation in
the public schools. The bill was
defeated, 9-2.
Svd Shuford chairman of the
Ways and Means Committee, in
troduced the bill.
He defined segregation as "a so
cial separation of white and col
ored," and he maintained that it
does not deny the rights and im
munities guaranteed " to -very
American by virtue of the 14th
Amendment.
"Discrimination," said Shuford,
"is the evil we don't want." It is
political and is a denying factor."
In summing up his speech, Shu
ford said that "so long as the Ne
gro is given equal protection of
the law, they are getting all they
need or are required to have. If
they want more they must indoc
trinate themselves as well as the
whites."
Franz Roberts promptly retorted
by saying that "segregation is legal
by law, but illegal morally."
Roberts said that we condemn
the colored people for their lack
of intelligence, manner of speech,
inability to integrate themselves
into our society, but we won't
teach them, we won't allow them
to enter our schools and partake
of the advantages offered in our
outstanding institutions of learn
ing. "The whole idea of segregation
is the biggest hypocrisy I have
ever heard of," said Roberts.

purpose is to offer symphony
music all over the state at a
modest price.
They have scheduled two per
formances in Chapel Hill early
in May. There will be an after
noon concert for children on the
same day as the regular evening
program.
Children Get Treat
Children are admitted free to
the concerts. In 1941 Swalin irf
augurated the plan of educating
school youngsters through music
when a small number of child
ren ' heard symphony rehearsal
programs. The movement has
grown until last year more- than
half of the annual concerts were
played for a total of 140,000 boys
and girls.
In speaking of the program,
Mrs. Swalin said, "Performing
free but important music to
these boys and girls gives us a
sense, not of success, but rather
of achievement."
Dr. Swalin, who is a well
known violinist, always has his
violin with him, and also finds
room for music, reference books
and other non-musical volumes.
Many Auditoriums
They play in every type of
auditorium imaginable. The only
orchestra in the country to re
ceive partial support from a
State Legislature, the North
Carolina Symphony is in reality
two orchestras. A "Little Sym
phony" with 25 players is tailor
made for communities with small
staging facilities; and the 65
piece "Full Symphony" tours
the larger cities.
The Swalins came to North
Carolina in 1935, when Dr.' Swa
lin joined the University Music
Department. Later he gave full
time to rebuilding a then-inactive
orchestra.
Dr. Swalin, Swedish in ances
try, received his BS and MA
at Columbia and his Ph.D. from
the University, of Vienna. He is
recognized throughout the state
as author, composer, violinist
and scholar.
Their home in Chapel Hill is
filled with "Ben and Maxine"
personality. Mrs. Swalin is" re
sponsible for its interior deco
ration, which combines Mexican
and Old World charm with mod-"
ernistic conveniences.
No Pep Rally
This Weekend
The University Club has an
nounced that the pep rally, which
was to be held tonight, will not
be held after all.
According to a spokesman for
the club, "Thursday would be
too far in advance of the game and
Friday would conflict with the
Germans." The election of the
homecoming queen will, however,
still be held.
Aspirants to the "royal title"
will represent all the ' women's
activities on campus. Candidates'
pictures will be displayed in the
YMCA during voting from 9 to I

Big Business
Jgx Bill Gets
Di's Rejection
In a session marked by repeated
points of order and appeals to the
chair, the Dialectic Senate defeat
ed Tuesday night a bill providing
for a national manufacturers tax
and the re-establishment of the
Office of Price Stabilization. De
feat was by a 13 to 11 vote.
The debate saw proponents
sticking to the theme that the pro
posed tax was the only way to
obtain needed revenue short of ad
ditional personal income tax.
"Let's take the money from where
it is, in the pockets of the large
corporations, and not from where
it isn't, the consumer," said Joel
Fleishman.
Opponents counterattacked with
the argument that the bill would
destroy free enterprise. "Can man
ufacturers stand the tax and what
would it do to national econ
omy?" asked Senator Bob Farrell.
Most vehement opposition to the
measure was expressed by Gene
Shaw who attacked it as a measure
designed to "soak the rich." "We
don't need additional taxes, we
need to balance the budget and
cut the taxes we have," he told
his listeners.

came in for a sarcastic flailing by
Senator Dave Reid. "The NAM
went out and bought a candidate
for the Republican nomination
last year, then they bought the
presidency for him, and now they
own the administration. It isn't
our right to suggest that their
members (the manufacturers) be
taxed," he argued.
One of those calling for a reduc
tion in national expenditures rath
er than the new tax was Bill Scar
borough, who admitted that he
held "generally" the same views
as the late Senator Robert A. Taft

CHAIRMAN WOLFSHEIMER

Is Described
As Capable1
Gene Cook, chairman of the
Student Party, yesterday congratu
lated the University Party on its
election of Lou Wolfsheimer as
chairman of the UP.
"I congratulate the University
Party on electing a very capable
campaigner as cnairman, said
Cook. Wolfsheimer was rejected as
attorney general by the student
Legislature two weeks ago, mostly
on strength of SP opposition.
"I also congratulate Bob Gor

Commenting on Wolfsheimer's
statement, that his one attribute
seemed to be that the Student
Party dislikes him, Cook said, "I
regret that Lou hsa interpreted his
rejection as attorney general as
being a result of personal dislike
on the part of the Student Party.
Teet that Lou has interpreted his

dormitories will follow suit, and
start to print their own bulletins.
Then maybe the student legisature
will grant funds to make possible
a more professional looking sheet."
The staff is composed of Robie
McClellan and Bill Formyduvall
who write news, John Bachman
who covers the intramurals, and
James Michaels, who is responsible
for circulation. A social column
called "This 'n' That" is written
by the editor.
Brown said it's too early yet
to tell how effective the Corn
Cobb is going to be, since the first
issue just came out Monday, but
judging from the words of apprec
iation from Cobb readers, he thinks
it's going to be worth the time
and effort it takes.
