This information is not brought to you through the courtesy of the court, which has a policy not to re lease names of violators. Since the TiKA's have 29 active mem bers (their 20 pledges certainly can't be expected to share the fine), the proportionate share of each active will be $3.45. In these inflationary times, that's not much of a fine. THAT BENCH sitting in tho sun by Old West is getting a good workout these days.

"Too viuch of a bad thing" comments the gal be-hind-the counter. Fraternities & Hazing The Intcrfraternity Council rule prohib iting hazing has been invoked against a chap ter on campus. The penalty imposed was a $ioo fine. A second violation within the next five years will cause the" fraternity to lose its rushing privileges for a period of 12 months, and a third violation will automatically ex-" pel the chapter from the campus. , This case brings to light several Weak." nesses of the hazing law, and The Daily Tar Heel recommends the following changes in it: "-; : .:. , . .- v. 1. The law should provide for releasing the name of the fraternity which committed the violation. JFC Court Chairman Phin Hor toit says the name is, not released because it would damage the fraternity in rushing, pos sibly for several years. That sounds like pret ty good punishment to us more effective punishment than a $100 fine which some chapters on campus can easily auoru 10 pay. The fine should be based on the number of active members oE the chapter. It is not fair to fine a small house and a large house equal amounts for the same violation. The smaller house is actually receiving more pun ishment, because each of its members must pay a greater proportion .of the fine. 3. Stricter punishment for second and third offenses should be restricted to a four year period. The membership of a fraternity will usually show a complete turnover in four vears, an "resent members should not have to suffer fct- something- clone iy an entirely different group more than lour years previous. The first rccommendaiton may be open to discussion, depending on bow harsh you feel punishment should be for the very seri ous offense of hazing. But the second and third changes proposed cannot be defeated on logical grounds. They involve a simple question of fair play, and should be enacted just as quickly as the IFC can draw up amend ments and present them to its membership. The 2 Commandments Dean of Journalism Norval I .uxon told a group of his students at a Press Club meeting this week what he considers to be the objec tives of his school. Two of his three are: 1. To sec that journalism students get a liberal education. 2. To see these students realize the place journalism has in a democratic society. As well as any and better than most schools or departments in the University, the School of Journalism has demonstrated its willing ness to help a student get a liberal education. It does this in the easiest way: by having a very small number of required journalism courses for its majors. (Compare its require ment of six to the HA School's mandate of twenty? We hope Dean Luxon's idea of liber al education is one of liberality outside his 'school's offerings 'and that while making available needed courses such as the recent addition of legal journalism - he will leave untouched that blessedly low number of re el ui red courses. The emphasis on the student's place (jour nalistic or whatever) in our democracy is a principle which every University teacher should stress- They should attempt to relate each course to the University, and further, re late each man and his job to the world in which he will live and work. In a disciplinary way, it is the lack in the student of this defi nition of personal responsibility which per mits him to commit acts of vandalism or abuse his years at the University. -These two vistas of Dean Luxorr should be those of the University. DEFERRED RUSHING until the sophomore year, proposed at the State of the University Con ference, is a good idea for sev eral reasons. The main one is that freshmen should be given an opportunity to truly become part of Carolina before they lose themselves in a tight circle. Cer tainly many are lost to tho cam- pus now because they become, wrapped up in fraternity activl- ' ties so early in their academic lives. However', deferred rushing would bring! with it dirty rush ing. The ' IFC would be ; strained ' to try to police its many members. . 1 throughout a year-long "silence" period. Dirty rushing would be come the rule rather than the , exception. Dr ill W I Tried To Please, Says Dulles Drew Pearson FRATERNITIES at Dook have proved the truth of my last state ment. I quote an editorial from the latest Dook Chronicle, com menting on rushing violations under their year-deferment sys tem: "The only crime is being caught; honor and integrity count for little . . . The IFC has handl ed only two cases of dirty rush ing all year. This would seem to indicate either monumental blind ness or complete disinterest. There is no doubt that there have been enoughviolations to keep a stable of attorneys busy this past , semester, but only two charges have been pressed." WASHINGTON When John Foster Dulles, the sincore, Inde fatigable Secretary of State testi fied beforo the. Senate Foreign Relations Committee last week, ho almost wept. His voice chok ed' as he said: v "I secured an agreement, in writing that the Geneva, Confer ence would not constitute recog nition of China, but even so I can't seem to please you gentle men. It looks as if there's just no way we can conduct foreign relations to your liking." r--. What upset the Secretary of State was the persistent, re lentless h e c k ling of the man who is suppos ed to lead Eis enhower's poli cies in the Sen ate William Know land of Democrats were v; A PERSONAL LETTER from A. W. Ilobbs of the Math De partment takes me to task for re ferrivg to our brother institution in Raleigh as "C010 College." Let me assure Dr. Ilobbs and anyone else who may wonder, that my use of "Cow College" and "Dook" means no . harm; it's all in the spirit of good-natured rivalry. GREEK WEEK is in full swing, and if any of you folks missed the Stunt Night at Carroll Hall yesterday evening, there is an other open-to-thc-campus event this afternoon at Navy Field the annual Field Day. This should be as humorous as the proceed ings last night, and good clean fun for a change, too. . THE LATEST ISSUE of The New Yorker contains a plug for Carolina in an advertisement on Page 84 for Milton's Clothing Cupboard. Milton, who feels the cats up in the Ivy League should know wherp they can get those pre-dirtied bucks, put his Old Well symbol at the bottom of his ad and across the top of the Well is "UNC." fTHE -COMMUNIST Daily Work er was the subject of a debate by the Phi Tuesday evening, and the proposal under discussion was that the University Library should subscribe to the Rod newspaper. Frankly, I think ' it would be good for laughs, and would let people here know Just how far the enemy can go in corrupting the truth, but I'm afraid the brass wouldn't have the guts to get on the mailing list. Afraid the campus would be crawling with Junior g-mccarth-ies before the day was out. PEARSON California. The sympathetic and asked helpful, encouraging questions. The Re publican majority leader heckled and objected. Tho incident illustrates one phase of the growing split in the Republican Party a split not caused by Senator McCarthy, but widened and brought into sharp er focus by him. It also illustrat es the problem Eisenhower him self sooner or later will have to tackle. Tho longer he puts it off, the harder it will be. At present he has the prestige and popular ity to tackle it successfully. If he puts it off, it may be too lata. What President Eisenhower has to realize is that the Republican Tarty for years has been divided between, the isolationists and thoso who. believe ia world co- ; operation. He has to realize that , Senator McCarthy and the little group which brain-washod his Secretary of the Army,, represent the extreme isolationist wing of tho party, some of them nee-Fas-" cist. And he has to realise that he has to side with one group or the other and begin leading the nation before the extremists take away control altogether. Eisenhower, a lifelong military man, probably doesn't realize it, but the Dulles-Knowland incident of a Republican Senator heckling a Republican Secretary of State has occurred often in tho past. This newsman, as a young report er covering the State Depart ment, watched example after ex ample. The accumulation of sev eral incidents eventually paved the way to war. Here are some of them: Republican Split No. 1, as far back as I can remember took place during the I-ondon Naval Conference in 1930 when some of us newsmen wrote stories that Henry L. Stimson, then Seretary of State and one of the most revered leaders of the Republi can Party, proposed a consulta tive pact. This pact merely pledg ed the United States to consult in case war threatened. It pledg ed no use of troops or anything else; merely that we would talk things over. But after our new stories broke, Stimson called a press conference In London at which he confirmed them; while Her bert Hoover called a press con ference in "the" White House at which he denied that the United States would enter a consultative pact, fl'he isolationist wing of tho GOP triumphed. GOP Split No. 2 occurred when the Japanese war lords entered Manchuria on Sept. 1, 10at. Secretary of State Stimson Im mediately saw this for what it wasthe beginning of a Japan ese attempt to dominate all Asia. I remember writing that, he had contracted the Canadian, Mexican nnd Chilean governments to ask if they would cooperate with us in the Pacific in case of war; and I remember Stimson calling me up to bis house that night to ask that I not write any more along that line because it was making things difficult for him at the White House and with the Isola tionist wing of the Republican Party. The story, he said, was true, but embarrassing. What Stimson wanted was to head off Japanese aggression be. fore It blossomed Into war. The isolationists, on the other hand, didn't want to get even remotely Involved. And later when Stim son instructed the U.S. Consul General at Geneva to sit In as an observer during the League ef Nations efforts to block Japan, the isolationists even forced him to withdraw the observer. YOU Said It A Carolina Gestapo? And About Phys Ed Editor: , 41 I haven't been so damned mad since the time last year when Syngman Rhce let the PW's loose. And it isn't because of such a momentous occasion as that but because of a trifling incident Thurs day night at the Goat Hill Country Club. I say trifling because it only concerned me at tho time, but the implications were tremendous in proportions to every student at Carolina. It was a very brief encounter with a member of the Caro lina Gestapo, the Dance Committee, and myself. I was attending the ATO pledge dance and de cided to go out to my car to .get the keys, which I had left there. Upon leaving the club I was ac costed by one of the Storm Troopers with a fancy houtonniere who said in so many words "where the hell are you going, Buster?" Well, that floored me this guy, whom I had never seen before, asking me my destination! After a word or two, I was Informed that one can not re-enter a dance unless one has a damned good reason for leaving. Dammit, who the hell can ask me where I'm going at a private dance? I kicked in my ninety or so clams last month for dues, and a considerable portion went to finance tho dance and it wasn't in this guy's power to tell me when to come and go. If the Army trusted me around places like Old Baldy, Porkchop and T Bone, surely I can be able to walk 50 feet to my car without a chaperonc In a monkey suit holding my hand to make sure I don't take a sip or two on the way. And the paradox of the whole matter Is that only four hours previous the country club had been the scene of a real fine cocktail party. We had no one to regulate our coming and going. We all could have gotten bombed with no minion of South Building sniffing our breaths. But four short hours later same people, same place, drink ing was verboten and exterior movement was strictly regulated by the South Building Soldiers stationed at every door. Well, what can happen In the evening with livo music that can't happen in the afternoon? Will the presence of a platoon of NKVD agents under the leadership of a South Building flunkey cause a dramatic overhaul of moral behavior? Hell no. It won't and anyone who thinks bo (molly denizens of S B.) is only begging the white-coated boys from Dix Hill to pick him andor her up for a fast ride over Route 70. E, T. Culberton Editor: It is my understanding that veterans are to be given proper credit for their previous education and training. Doesn't this apply to the physical training they had while In service? I believe the training the average veteran had Is far nuperlor to any given by the Physical Education Depart ment. According to the adrniniKtratlve authorities, tho Korean veteran Is required to take pbynlcal edu cation because the training given by the Armed Forces during this conflict was not an strenuous as that given to World War II veterans. Since I am a veteran of this period and have had this train ing, I am inclined to disagree. Tho four hours spent each week In the gym nasium are a waste of time, and they could 1x5 spent much more profitably elsewhere. I believe 1,102 other veterans enrolled In the University, will agree. Nm wHhhld by rqut THE HORSE was sprawled in tho lee of Graham Memorial when I saw him, humming a strange tune. Vm singing, The Ronnie Ranks O FmUef Juj volunteered, when I dUl not cue him a line, ' t's scholars do not go in for more modern music. Ttu is Medieval Balladry at its best." Since strong men fainted, ami brave women barred doors and windows when The Horse sang, t didn't think I wanted to hear The Ronnie Hanks O' Fonlk at its worst "Some folks call it Rahyten ho re-volunteered. But don't ask me why. It certainly never mentions Babylon in it." So what, and who had asked him? "It's this guy tenlBullock," The Horse shrugged vaguely. Len Bullock? The Horse referred to our own Tn Bullock, of football fame? Our Quarterback? "Yeah," The Horse nodded, cropping up smt grass and chewing it into a cud. "01' T-D has Kone and got hisself a part In our musical. Ki.w Aff Km. playing here at Memorial Hall on March ft ami f. at 8:30 p. m." 1 Uh huh, admission One twenty five. BUT the sale of ducats had been so terrific that the play was a hold over for an extra night, and would also show on March 7. Sunday. "Well," The Horse took It up. "the plot of the play is laid in a performance of The Tamiiuj of fk Shrew, and I just want to show this Bullock chara ter that I know music even older than thut. and that was written by Will Shakespeare." But this was modern music, this Kiss Ate K.ir. Did The Horse like Cole Porter? "I'll drink anything," he shrugged. This was not original, I was surprised at The Horse making so bald a steal as this gag he had just perpetrated! "I wanted to play It safe," The Horse murmured, "In case you mean the potable porter rather than the quotable Porter. But you know this T l Bul lock presents a real menace to the Lotharios of our campus. Next year, when Football starts, the gals will be screaming while he romps up and down th gridiron; and screaming when he croons to theut later." Hey, now, tiot ncreamlng when he crooned! What did ho think thU was, Mr. Ava Gardner? "Now, let Frankie alone, he did a good job In Fronn Here To Ef entity," The. Horse waved a warn ing hoof. "You know what? I have a theory this crooning business wa$ ai hard for Frankie as it was on a lot of us. He looks and sounds better idnco he sparked that Jamcii Jones movie.. And 1 know I feci better since he cut out that caterwauling Mrs. O'Horse used to chltter about, on the radio. But this Bullock, now 4 tell you. the guy Is a menace. You could sneer at Frank le Sinatra within earshot and what could he do? But Bullock is ktnda like i UNO Krrol Flynn: one remark from you and your friends all say, 'Tsk, doesn't he look lifelike!' " I wondered it TD got a lot of kidding from hii muscular conferees of Woollen Gym because of his interest in acting? "I don't see why he should." The J torse speculat ed. "For the life of me.

I hope a Jot more of the boys get stage minded and shuttle between the Gym and "the Haymakers. It's fun, it H natural for them, nnd I don't need to tell you how much dough there Is In it. all you got to do Is look at the big salary earners on the Income tax rolht!" The Horse broke off to stare at group of come ly lasses who were hurrying to thr hide - entrance of Memorial Hall. "Hey, there Is I' ll Bullock, now!" All 1 could see was a bevy of beauts, yl.

Well, maybe they would, Now that the show, Kin Me Kate, had been extended for another day, may be they would alt get to see TD romping on thr stage and pitch In and give him compel ilion.
