Sometimes, though, in our insistence that we must know the past, we may not notice the present especially w?hen moving through the catalized demands of a university curric ulum. A William Stringer column from Washing ton in The Christian Science Monitor alerted this concern in us. "A few evenings ago," he relates, "I took an informal poll among an intelligent group of students visiting Wash ington from a Pennsylvania college. I asked how many had heard that France had asked the United States a tremendously crucial question : ... Of more than a dozen alert men majoring in political science and gov ernment only three had heard of this French request." It is a platitude, but not untrue by being one, that what happens one of these days may change our lives, individually and collectively- There is no excuse for ignorance when the price of the daily paper is five cents. What occurs to us is that maybe these political science and government, students whom Mr. Stringer interviewed and all of us should take time out from Locke for a look around.

" .;. Night Editor for this issue: John Hussey THE CAROLINA Young Dem ocrats Club, presumably a non partisan organization in relation to internal fights in the party, seems to have some pretty parti san ideas about primary sena torial candidates. And the fast piece of verbal footsie the YDC played with Alvin Wingfield hardly explains the club's re fusal to invite him to speak -in Chapel Hill. The fact that the YDC doesn't like Wingfield's views is not reason enough; it is not supposed to differentiate between viewpoints. And this statement that the speaking pro gram for the year had been completed before Wingfield de clared for the Senate is pretty darned weak. I know it would be a terrible burden for the YDC to make arrangements to get Gerrard Hall for another night. Rubbish! The sad thing about it is that Wingfield is a far better platform speaker than either Scott or Lennon! CURRENT SERIES of articles running in the Greensboro Daily News entitled "Carribean Cock leshell" is written by Archibald Yow, a former Carolina student and sailing enthusiast. Yow, who has often been accused of stag ing shipwrecks to get publicity, tells the story of a lot more in the articles. Radford met him, took Ike for an hour's walk while the plane refueled, and during that time sold him on a lot of ideas such as rebuilding Chiang Kai-Shek's navy for use against the Chinese mainland. Ike was so impressed that he asked Radford to accompany him" on the remainder of the trip to Korea. Since then Radford has been the only member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff who has favored U. S. intervention in Indochina. But he has managed to sell Ei-" senhower on that policy pro vided our Western allies went a long. So, with Dulles having failed to win Churchill, Admiral Rad ford himself stopped to see him. The Prime Minister, however, vestigator and is the man closest to him, was fired from the FBI. That's one reason why McCarthy didn't want Surine called to the witness stand. - Surine was fired in connection with a white slave case in Balti more. This fact was developed by the Senate Rules Subcommittee which probed McCarthy's financ es in 1951. At first the FBI tried to protect Surine perhaps in dicative of the close liaison be tween J. Edgar Hoover and Mc Carthy. Later, when Senator Hennings of Missouri persisted in wanting to know the full facts regarding Surine, he received an official letter stating that Surine had tried to resign but had not been permitted to do so. However, Surine has continued on the taxpayers' payroll as Mc Carthy's no. 1 investigator. He was the man charged by William Fedder, the Baltimore printer, with kidnapping him during the Maryland campaign against Sen ator Tydings. He's also among those who scared the mother-in-law of Arthur Pierson during the investigation of his partner, As sistant , Secretary of Defense Struve Hensel. . Surine also went to New York to probe Assistant Secretary of Defense Anna Rosenberg, before the erroneous smear charges were made that she was a Com munist The Senate, however, unanimously rebuffed the charg es and confirmed Mrs. Rosen berg. Finally the faked picture of Earl Brcder and Senator Tyd ings, used in the Maryland cam (Laughter) In The Senate (From The Congressional Record.) Mr. GOLDWATER obtained the floor. Mr. MURRAY.

The PRESIDING OFFICER: The Senator from Arizona de clines to yield. Mr. GOLDWATER. I "should like to know whether it is within my prerogative to refuse to yield. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator is correct He may refuse to yield. The Senator from Arizona declines to yield except for a question. Mr. MURRAY. Do I understand that the Senator from Ari2ona refuses to yield for the purpose of having a quorum call? Mr. GOLDWATER. The Sena tor from Montana understands ("The Horse sees imperfectly, magnifying some ' things, minimizing others. . . Hipporotis, circa 500 B.C.) THE HORSE was looking profoundly pleased with things, considering that he had just exited from a class. But doubtless the joy mirrored in his weathered- face was also reflected in the suffering visage of whatever teacher The Horse had just quit? "I do not admit I ever gave any teacher a hard time," The Horse leapt to his own defense with the agility of a veteran self-defender. "The reason for my pleasaunce is, I am fresh from my hour of . English 1 67, where Dr. A. Palmer Hudson demon strated, via melodious song, the linkage twixt Ear ly American White Spirituals and English & Scot tish Ballads & Folklore." What! Did the distinguished Dr. Hudson, already hailed as an authoritative lecturer and acknowledg ed as a man of letters with few peers among Folk lorists, sing, as well? "He does, when it serves to illustrate a point,"" The Horse said, flopping down unceremoniously on the grass. "But on this occasion he was cast in the role of entrepreneur. The singing was done by seven UNC graduate students and the wife of a . North Carolina College professor, yclept Mrs. John. The rendition of the White Spirituals was profes sional in competence, and it is unfortunate that the group is not presented to large audiences." It was that good? The University radio station, should hear about this! "Unfortunately, many of the graduate students in the octet are tied up in preparation for exami nations," The Horse rued it "But none the less it is my guess that Mr. Patterson, who sub-directed the group presented by Dr. Palmer Hudson, will be busy turning down requests. He should be. Good as was the group in totoj, the surprise to me was that the petite and charming Mrs. John is possessed of a voice of such amazing volume. Her facility with the high notes of the Spirituals coloratura passages, really stamps her as a performer who could even be heard n Memorial Auditorium." Oh, come now! People who could hear the hum of a hummingbird ten leagues distant, had been known to come away from Memorial Hall musical comedies under the Impression that they had at tended an operatic pantomime, so anti-acoustical were the barnlike reaches of Memorial Hall. "You mention something which I long to have someone bring to the attention of our great and good friend and alumnus, John Motley Morehead," The Horse sighed. "It is a sad fact that some of our UNC sons and daughters do not fully appreciate the Planetarium for what it is: the generoils gift of a generous man. But none could fail to hail the. real service to every facet of our campus life if a Morehead Auditorium were to replace the current soundproof arrangement. After all, the Planetarium finds duplication in the night skies. A modern and . sound-transmitting auditorium is something we've never had, and maybe never will have unless it comes to us as a gift" Didn't The Horse think there was a limit to an alumnus giving? "Not to hear Secretary Saunders of The Alumni Giving Campaign, tell about it, there is no limit," The Horse laughed. "He snuck into Memorial Hall behind Chancellor Bob on Tuesday and put the bee on the Seniors gathered there before they are 'yet alumni. For once, it was good not to have good acoustics." "Wump!" Mr. Wump, the Frog, agreed enthusiastically. YOU Said It Bang! Editor: For the past few days I have been wondering if fireworks have been outlawed in this state and in Chapel Hill. The answer apparently is no because of the numerous nightly disturbances of exploding fireworks. Assuming the "no" answer is correct, would it be asking too much of my fellow collegians was adamant.

And Radford, despite his logic and eloquence, could not budge him. Note After his talk with Churchill, Radford was suddenly called home. He was not sched uled to return, but got White House instructions to come back immediately presumably to report to the National" Security Council.

Mc Carthy even threatened to re- and G. David Schine. No wonder McCarthy protested so vigorously when it was pro posed that Don Surine be called to the witness stand. McCarthy & Taxes A lot of people don't realize it including at first this this writer and probably the Secre tary of the Army but it was one D wight D. Eisenhower who played into McCarthy's hands by permitting him to examine income-tax returns. Without an order from the President, it's a penitentiary of fense for the Treasury to give tax returns to anyone, even a Senator. However, on Feb. 19, 1953, Eisenhower signed a blanket executive order, no. 10, 435. eivinp thp Mr,arinr r sume the chairmanship of the mittee and other investigating the lumor Senator from 4 fcV ouvn oumc vuiiaiuciaiiun ior tne majority ot stu- zona correctly. dents who prefer not to lose sleep or study time Mr. MURRAY.

The climate of opinion seems to be: "To hell with every body else so long as I get out of this mess in fine shape.' We are all in it together regardless of choice. However, we are on this campus by our own choice. By being more considerate of our fellow students and less self-centered, couldn't we all make our college careers more enjoyable and more profit- Mr. GOLDWATER.
