FRIDAY. DECEMBER 3, 195 f PAGE TWO THI DAILY TAR HEIL w Plaudits Carolina Front. President Crcnsy's fraternity rushing com mittee, after three months of mulling the matter over, has come up with an intelli gent set of suggestions that should be adopt ed by the Inter-Fraternity Council. , Here is how the committee would change the rushing procedure: ; 1. Postpone rushing until the sixth or eighth week of the first semes..cr. 2. Require a satisfactory academic record of a rushee before he-cotild pledge a frater nity. 4. A stretching out of rushing into two weeks with "off-nights" for. fraternities-and rushees. - These reforms, if put into effect, would be a marked improvement over the present system, which shows consideration for the fraternities only. v . The most important suggestion is the first one, which calls, for a delayed rushing per iod. It would work" a two-fold advantage for new students: It would give them time to establish a solid ac ademic beginning; and time to absorb a little Caroliniana from the point of view of a dormitory student a point ol view he may prefer to -keep, and cue he should definitely know something o -r before making the big move to Fra ternity -Court. Iii promising to work hard for the adop t'n ff these changes, President Creasy, him If a fraternity man, has shown that he has the interests of new students in mind and that h-e is willing to try to protect them from the disadvantages, of too much fraternity rushing too soon and with too little prepar edness. He deserves the thanks of the cam pus for that. Mr. Ervinf Mr. Scoff, & Applefon's Pride The martyred Senator McCarthy, in his post-censure swan-song, told the American people: "I am being censured because I dared to do the "dishonorable thing of exposing Communists in government." Men voted against the Senator from Wis consin day before yesterday who have been disturbed about Communism much longer than he. No North Carolinian who concerns him self with the balance of national affairs of Senators Ervin and Scott when the Sen can fail to take pride in the action and vote ate censured McCarthy. We think Senator Ervin's pre-Thanks-giving oration, a crafty and eloquent state ment of senatorial duty in the matter, trip ped the lever that led Wednesday to a 67 20 vote for censure on the first count. When the censure movement began to totter on its underpinnings, Mr. Ervin's shoulders, as well as any, held it suspended. And Mr. Scott began what we believe will be a fine voting record by joining his colleague in voting for censure. North Car olina's part in bringing justice to bear in the Senate Hall was no little one; we are grateful for the state's representation there. Look! Cultcha! The week has ben notable for a cultural aura, an appealing touch of finer things. For example, the Carolina Quarterly, is out and a temperate, literate example of cam pus writing. The University Symphony night before last presented pleasing, well rounded concert to a filled-up Hill Hall. And look what's been going on in Raleigh:. Chapel Hill students and townspeople play ed big parts in the annual meetings of the State Art Society, the Roanoke Island His torical Association, the North Carolina So ciety for the Preservation of Antiquities, f pause for breath, the State Literary and Historical Association, the North Carolina Folklore Society and the North Carolina Poetry Society. It is enough to give rise to a hopeful idea: That maybe . the Graham Memoral pool room and the booth in the back of Spero's, revered institutions that they are, do not represent the ultimate in University thought and opinion after all.

The coeds aren't exactly running the massive Stu dent Party and UAihw-- University Par ty, but they're moving up like members of their sex in the na tional Congress. The Student Party, picked a coed for vice chairman, Amy Cooke, and for secretary, Donna Ashcraft. Still . another female won a place on the coveted (at least in party circles) SP Ad visory Board Pat McBane. The University Party, ; not to be outdone, picked a coed for secretary, Jane Cocke. Since the UP has no formal advisory board, it's more difficult to ap praise the place of the coed in the party. But I'm assured that they're vital in party work. The recently-elected 84th Con gress has more women members than . ever before in history, o apparently the campus parties htave taken their cue from Wash ington. t Of - the seventeen women in the Congress to convene next January, you might be interested in knowing that seven are Re publicans and nine are Demo crats. Although I haven't checked the rolls of the campus parties , (if rolls exist), the coed member-, ship in both parties here seems about equal. All of which goes to prove little, except that even the political arena is whirling with women in this women's world. DON GEIGER, whom the SP picked as chairman the other night, told his party that student government has been too filled "with Mickey Mouse politics." Geiger said that he knew politcs were vital, but that par ties should remember their pur pose "to serve the students." Since the legislative branch of student government has been largely in the hands of the SP, Geiger actually was chiding his party as well as the opposition. The Geiger talk is 'a refreshing breeze of frankness for the smoke -filled rooms. And now that he's chairman", perhaps he will act to remove Mickey Mouse politics (which sounds like some thing bad; but exactly what, I'm not sure). Sports Editor, FRED BABSON Night Editor f of this Issue Eddie Crutchfield FROM THE University of Kan sas comes the story of coed Joan Gavin, who had to pass as many as 1,200 admirers on herway to engineering drawing sclass. The five foot, 5Vz inches tall blonde even tried going to class by car, but the auto was halted by swirling masses of men. "At first I thought it was fun, but not any more," she told re porters over the holidays. , And she added, "Next Monday I'm going to walk. And I'm go ing to bypass the main streets where crowds gather, and go to class by the back way." - Yes, there's nothing like ad vertising, Miss Gavin. GRAHAM MEMORIAL'S activ ity folks tell me there's still a few tickets left for the Woody Herman concert Monday after noon. is , . Clarinet-playing Herman rock ed Memorial Hall last year with his band and horn. He'll be play ing the same place Monday, and tickets are a dollar. 'This Isn't The Kind Of Blockade Had In Mind' :f-r. - -- ... WW., j r 'S.JZ .ii.wiii.iiji1 ir " Dulles dhd The -13 Men . WASHINGTON Secretary of State Dulles had known about the 13 U.S. fliers held by China ever since the Korean truce. They had been mentioned frequently in Peiping radio broadcasts, so any one listening in also knew about them . . Nothing was done to secure their liberation . . . Predic tion: Look for Moscow to inter vene with Red China to free the 13 Americans as part of the cur rent coexistence overtures. .. . . Ike is not' going to be able to squeeze Senator Knowland out of the Senate GOP leadership no matter how often Knowland punctures and pillories the Eisen hower foreign policy. Ike has been pretty peeved at Knowland's speeches, but when his errand boy, Vice President Nixon, talked to., GOP Senate solons they wouldn't stand for bouncing Knowland. . . . incidentally, they didn't know whether "McNixon" was speaking for himself or the President, because Dick would like nothing better than to get his fellow Californian, Senator Knowland, demoted. . . . Sen. Herman Welker of Idaho mis took the new Senator from Neb raska, Roman Hruska, for a Senate aide and started ordering him around. Hruska promptly told Welker to get his own glass of water. . . . Friends of Colo rado's Gene.Millikin, one of the most respected members of the Senate, would like to work a deal whereby he would resign to let Governor Dan Thornton take his place prior to January 1. Thorn ton would step down from the governorship to be succeeded by Lieut. Gov. Allott, who becomes Senator in January. Allott would then appoint Thornton to the Senate. ... If this triple play is too long delayed, Big Ed John son, Democrat, will step into the governor's mansion and the deal won't work. Dixon-Yates Dickers The Dixon-Yates combine has been dickering with the famed Steve Hannegan public relations firm to improve its relations. They need it. (Only trouble is that one of Ike's closest golfing partners, William E. Robinson, is head of the Hannegan firm.) . . . When Congressman Charley Howell, Democrat, who ran for the Senate in New Jersey, got a letter from the Democratic Na tional Committee asking for $100 to pay for the recount of Senate votes in Ohio, he wrote a caustic note that if the Democrats really wanted to pick up another Senate seat they could spend their money recounting ballots in Reaction Piece- Dean & Harry Foster & Ike, Foreign Policy .David Mundy Drew Pearson New Jersey. There, he pointed out, Clifford Case, Republican, has a margin of some 3,000 votes, while in Ohio, George Bender, Republican, has a 6,000 margin over Senator Burke, Democrat. . . . Democrats say they are so tired of having Republicans count them out in Hamilton County, Ohio (Cincinnati), that it's worth $75,000 (cost of the recount) to teach the Republicans a lesson. . . . The Food and Drug Adminsi tration has given a clean bill of health to use of boric acid in baby powders. After a careful examination, FDA found boric acid beneficial. John and Joe Republican leaders are wire pulling the White House to get John Lodge of Connecticut made Ambassador to Portugal. . He speaks a lot of languages; should make a good envoy. . . . When Joe McCarthy complained to the Car roll Arms Hotel about housing the committee for an effective Congress, the committee was booted out. Later Joe gave the hotel a plug on the Senate floor. . . . Joe, plus his henchmen, spend so much time at the hotel that a McCarthy table is reserved permanently. U. S. foreign policy in the Tru-man-Acheson era was inept to the nth degree, criminally and traitorously inept. Alexander the Great and all the Caesars, in centuries of conquest, never ob tained control of so much terri tory and so many people as did the Communists during the few short years of the Trumah-Ache-son policies, plans and plots. The measuring stick of history, 600c 000,000 people lost to the com munists, is so great that it seems almost presumptuous to lay it against the little man from Mis souri. With the change of adminis trations two years ago, many citi zens expected some improve ments in foreign policy. They, we, or at least, I, have been seriously disappointed. Sec retary Dulles has been playing for the plaudits of the middle-of-the-roaders and very occasional kind remarks from the political left. Of course, there have been some successes. Harry's little . police action in Korea has been turned into something resembl ing a truce. Wre weren't able to pull France's colonial chestnuts out of the fire in Jndo-China, but we did help douse the fire. Be hind the scenes, fancy U.S. foot work managed to heal some of the scars left by British imperial ism in Iran. Other U.S. negotia tions threats of cutting off aid managed to soothe assorted Jewish-Arab difficulties in the Middle East. And the policies, while building a strong defensive alliance for Europe and the Americas, even managed to find a friend in Asia; Pakistan. Success? Yes, but even under the Acheson "let the dust settle" philosophy some of them might have been achieved. Since World War II our poli cies have at the very best been defensive plays. In the Acheson Truman era the Communists the turns and won handsomely. In the "Eisenhower-Dulles" era of proposed compromise and "possible co-existence" the Com munists still call the turns. Only now, thanks to our stronger fore ign policy, they don't win so much. They still make all the ini tial moves. They still decide when "what" will happen. Mean while, harum-scarum U.S. poli cies try to plug innumerable holes in the old and eroded dikes. New dikes, a new and aggres sive foreign policy are needed. At the very feast, we should en gage in a critical review of pre sent policies. The Communists, still consoli dating their positions, can only be aided by a policy of the again proposed co-existence. They have for years been a threat, only lately recognized by many "liberals." Why should we not do a little "threatening" and "bluffing," now that the times are auspicious? Don't say that it wouldn't be cricket. POGO By Walt Kelly V NOT AIL OF US A ovwroeeoHji ritv Ai i rue nB LI'L ABNER By AI Capp '.

Hipporotis, circa 500 B. C.) THE HORSE was noodling along Campus Cam eron when I saw him. I trusted he was in the pink nr..i" Tt,n iiAnn vfhimprf "That word you ,,cpH nink! Don't vou know that Battling nf the Raleigh Sunday Noose may be listening?" So what? "Whenever Battling Nell runs out of copy Commies-At-Chapel Hill theme," Horse explained- "And whatever the reason, Rattling docs not seem to uouaiij niiiui r ----- , over-burdened with things to say, of late." I hadn't noticed that. Was The Horse sure? "Yup," The Horse nodded with authority, slump ing down on the lea in the lee of The Old Well. "Any day, I was expecting her to cut loose with her usual' tirade agin' Northerners and other fur- riners a reliable if somewhat shopworn stop-gyp device of Nell's when the copy flows sluggish when up jumps the FBI with Junius Scales, and up popped Battling Nell with the equally shopworn Reds-At-The-Hill hogwash." The FBI had caught up with Scales fast, no? "No," The Horse agreed. "The FBI knew where Junius was, and presumably had known, his where abouts for some time past. At any rate, they picked him up pronto as soon as a North Carolina court came up with, an indictment against him. I do feel somewhat chagrined on Battling Nell's account, however, in this regaid: Junius Scales is not alone not a Yankee or other type of dangerous furriner, but worse, is a dyed-in-the-cotton Southern gentle man, suh. And worst, his grandpappy, y clept Scales, likewise, was once a governor of North Carolina." What! A native Tar Heel, of good b'.ood lines, a Communist! A man who would overthrow his gov ernment by force of arms, by violence? "I wouldn't mention that too loudly, if I were you, Roger," The Horse said nervously. "Need I remind you that within the past century, there is historic precedent for just such activities in this and in neighboring Southern states?" Oh, well, that was different. Battling Nell had some ancestry engaged in that attempt at violent overthrow. However, thanks for the warning ... "Wait and" see," The Horse predicted, "a certain rural newspaper popped into the hue and cry with a sort of facsimile of Battling Nell's recent tirade. There is working for this sheet, if his journalistic imitations can be called working, a character who is so sterile of ideas that he even stoops to copy the Lewisian sterilities anent Chapel Hill, with em phasis on anything of a derogatory nature, being a Dookian and thus inclined that way by bent if not by birth." Oh, yes! Wasn't this the Cretan who had learned that Junius Scales lived in P. O. Box 62, Chapel Hill, N. C, Post-Office? "All by his little self," The Horse confirmed, "and from a printed sheet said Scales caused to be distributed with that return address on it. Forth with, with the evidence of a return-address to back him up, this pundit of pungent journalism an nounced that Scales lived in Chapel Hill." And Battling Nell Lewis? "Ah, Battling Nell has what she describes as a 'fat folder' on Communistic activities at The Ilil!,'" The Horse stated. "Any day now, she intimates, she will open it a latter-day Pandora, no less!" And, The Horse thought of all this . . . what? "I think," The Horse said sagely, "that The Bat tler would do better by herself and her readers to quit sitting on her big, fat folder and start to make with her demonstrated writing ability again." And, what for the country-newspaper Cretan? "Wump!" Mr. Wump answered for The Horse. t YOU Said It An Alumnus Speaks On The Duke Game & Officials Editor: Won't you please publish this in the interest of better officiating at public sports events. . At the Duke-Carolina football game last Satur day, about. five minutes before the end of the game at the time Duke made their last touchdown, a Carolina man lay on the ground ' and a Duke player walked over and kicked and stamped him in the face several times. The Carolina player was taken out of the. game unable to play further. There were five people in my party and we were up in the near top of the stadium. All five people saw the event and everybody around us saw it. Another Carolina player was substituted and the game went on- There was no penalty, no ejection by any of the Carolina coaching staff. People in the stands looked amazed. When officials allow things like this to go on. it's time to give the game back to the Indians. . While I am on the subject I can't refrain from relating that a player was put out of the game and his team penalized 15 yards for arguing with the official. I suppose the referee's kick inthe pants "hurt worse" than several kicks in the face with heavy shoes and football cleats. Let's hear their answer .... H. E.
