We came across these disconcerting type displays in vestkclay's papers. The day's mail brought Joseph Alsop's column horn Hons Kono" titled HAtomic War For Qiiemoy.-' and Full ol phrases like ' crises heat.'' Rut it was ilo afternoon lor-crisis heat; so we turned to The New Yorker, looking for relief among jihe Tiffany ads and the Arno cartoons. And jE. Ik White's lead began "Now that it is (juiite clear that thermonuclear ex plosions can j make the earth uninhabitable Well, it .v quite clear and there's no reason E. 15.. White should not say so. It is the news story of the year, of the last several millennia. The word from Nobel Prize winning scientist Dr. Tin us Pauling (in a single-column AP story next to the baby food ad on page 12 this! morning) is that radioactive rain, such as may cause leukemia or heredi tary mutatiJns. is falling these days in C.er manv and China. "Final effects of continued nuclear weapons testing," he says, "can only be guessed af; and feared." . One more, quotation, just to give you the idea.- It is- Sir Anthony Eden's understate ment of the! culture lag, made this week in London. A Single sentence: "I am afraid the advance of science lias dimmed out hopes." We do no x.ish to ruin your weekend. But the stream of headlines is not likely to stop this March jor for a while to come. The human scene's limits extend farther than Ho ffan's Iike.j even on a weekend, and that scene has become vast and fearsome. Today's qjwestion, "Who Does What In A Raid", might be better put:. "Who Does What To Prevent! A-Raid?" That is tjhe question we don't hear any body asking, least of all those in Washington who might ask it with potency and results. Amen) The Amendments i . i Our opinion is divided on the new bill to amend the Honor System which the Legisla ture pushed, through Thursday night. One parti of the measure would git the accused thtl right to new trial before the Honor Coined if "insufficient evidence" was Used t -con vice him. This right seems too important to us to have waited so long for clarification: it should hae been under sUxkI long Jigo. The other half of the provision making seven of the nine seats on the Honor Coun cil appointive strikes us the wrong way. Jack Stevqns. lTniversity Party floorleader, protested in debate that the' provision carried "a haze about it" and should.be studied. Certainly so for no one has yet made it clear why the students should have the right of electing Honor Council officials taken from then?. The Judicial Problems Commission, in recommending the change, advised that ap pointments be made from lower courts, giv ing as reason that new members "should have previous judicial experience." Why can't newly-elected Council members continue to learn their duties after takin g of fice? Again for this can't be too strongly emphasized why should the students be de nied the important right to elect the peers who might under conceivable situations, have to try them? President Creasy ought to withhold his signature from the bill until those questions are answered. The Real Story About Politics On Campus Louis Kraar s 4 "WHY DON'T you put in the paper what really happens in campus poli tics?" Liz Lynn , Ikpd vpstprdav is a group of us .at about the VWCA office irinking coffee ind talking pol itics. - I wondered" what she meant by "what really happens." "Well, you know, just what goes on not just facts about the candidates," she said. "Yes, that would really be good," agreed Charlie Dean. I wanted to know if that would n't make some people the poli tcians perhaps angry. "Who cares?" Charlie Dean said. "Students would enjoy it." Thus, with the advice of Miss Lynn of the University Party and Charlie Dean of the Student Par ty ringing in my ears, I decided to put into practice their bi-par-tison suggestion. Here goes: a n mm ding THE STUDENT Party if it can still be called by as unified name as a" party is split wide open over the presidential race. Now that Don Fowler has bolt ed the SP and decided to run in deoendentlv. many of his SP friends are following. This means that many of the SP members who should,, according- to party standards, be supporting Murt zing, are in the Fowler camp. Leading SP politicians like " Dave Reid and Gordon Forester have quit the party to campaign for Fowler. The effect of the Fowler race on the SP is about the same as would have been caused by the formation of a third campus political party. SOUNDS Domestic Tom Spain jazz: Jim L.rsp JIM MONTEITH, who lost the UP nod for vice-presidential candidate, is quilting his party too but not to run. The word about Y Court yes terday morning was that Mon teith was going to work for one of the SP candidates. However, other reports said that Monteith would bolt the party and run for vice-president as a independent. JACK HUDSON, SP member who led the committee which in vestigated this newspaper, may also leave the SP fold to support Fowler. Reid is working on Hudson , to join the Fowler backers.

McCURRY CAMPAIGN leader Raymond Taylor, when asked about how his man's battle for the presidency was going, re plied: "Ed McCurry is not running against the other two candidates; he's running for the office. Some men run just to keep others from getting it, and others run because 'they want the office," he said in an oratorical manner. MANNING MUNTZING, ob viously' spurred on by the large presidential field, campaigned last Monday night instead of at tending his party's meeting. MONTIETH supporters are an gry about Stevens packing the University Party meeting with fraternity brothers. The college jazz movement, lately publicized by the Williams and Princeton recordings, has a strong movement right here in Chapel Hill. Jim Crisp and his thiee cohorts have been featuring some of the better modern jazz styles in a fashion which should not go unheralded. . .. . - This group, though it is made up mainly of North Carolinians, could be easily confused with some of the more successful New York and Los Angeles combos, and their music compares well with many top flight jazz quar tets. CRISP MODERNITY .Crisp, a pianist who favors the Peterson school of jazz, could probably do quite well on his own. despite the competition from the many moderns who are yet to be recognized. Backed up by a steady and clear rhythm section of bass and drums, Crisp and his tenor sax aphonist Flip Latham are par ticularly skilled at smooth im provisation and melodic develop ment, not foreign from the Bru beck style. The influence is no ticeable, but the sound does not seem second-hand. A careful listen will prove in teresting as Latham's high-register tenor sax parallels Paul Desmond's alto work, and com bined with the progressive chords of the modern jazz pian ist, the first impression is -entirely Brubeck. But on the other hand, Crisp's style could not be further removed from Brubeck's, and thus, the difference. TONIGHT ON RADIO Latham and Crisp do not inte grate their music as do so many of the moderns, but rather stick to the old school of mutual ac companiment. The solos are sing ular but most expressive, reveal ing, on occasion, excellent talent and taste. Classics in Jazz, WUNC-FM's weekly tribute to the jazz world which is written and produced by Doug Young, will tonight feature the Crisp Quartet. Broad casting with tapes, recorded last week in Memorial Hall, Classics in Jazz will attempt to define the qualities of the Crisp group, as well as to show what's be ing done on this campus to fur ther the interests of the jazz arts. As in the past, the weekly show will also move towards seeking a place for jazz within the realms of serious, formal music. Broad cast time is 8:30 tonight. 'LULLABY' TO 'STOMPIN' ' The Crisp Quartet recorded several of the modern standards, which include, among others, LULLABY OF BIRDLAND, WE'LL BE TOGETHER AGAIN, TAKE THE A TRAIN, and STOMPIN' AT THE SAVOY. A straight piano solo by Crisp with rhythm accompaniment, FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE is perhaps the most delicate of the selec tions. This above all resembles the subtle touch of Oscar Peter son, and is one of his favorites. Saxaphonist Latham, after a slow start in Ellington's A TRAIN, loosens up and gives a swinging but controlled extended solo. The Crisp boys perform well as an ensemble. There is little or no clashing or over-emphasis on aynone's part, which goes to create the much sought-after group sound. Avery Mills, drum mer, and bassman Ron Olden burg present a light, clean beat, showing no elements of the over-anxiety found with so many rhythm sections. As most of the selection are of an up-tempo style, Mills nd Oldenburg pro vide steady and scintillating rhythm patterns. HOMETOWN JAZZ It is difficult to criticize a jazz group. It can only be done in comparison with other, more well-known musicians. The Jim Crisp Quartet is not Brubeck or Peterson, or anybody but the Jim Crisp Quartet. Theirs is good music and good jazz. What's more, it can be heard right here in Chapel Hill, at a dance, in the Rendezvous Room or over WUNC at 8:30. EmArcy Records, the new label for Mercury Records Corp., has been releasing some record ed jam sessions, recorded in Hol lywood and 'certainly reflecting the more frantic elements of that jazz scene. Entitled simply JAM SESSION, the new release features some of the West Coast's wildest musicians with their wildest jazz. Also included are some of the more gentle and melodic interpretations. WILD AND WOOLY, SWEET AND SLOW Maynard Ferguson, Clifford 'Brown and Clark Terry are the Trumpet men, while Harold Land and Herb Geller make up the reed section. Pianists include Richie Powell and Junior Mance, while Max Roach and Ketter Bates finish out the rhythm sec tion. Dinah Washington does one fine vocal, a natural DARN THAT DREAM. Opening with a supersonic, highpowered number aptly en titled MOVE, they do just that. MOVE is one o the fastest, most frantically wild recordings ever captured. The solos whiz by at a rate of speed which defies de scription, ideally epitomhng the more progressive of the pro gressive movement. It is 'a study in footloose exuberance. A Powell piano solo, MY FUN NY VALENTINE, quickly fol lows, slowing the pace to a stand, still. The treatment of the senti mental tune is quiet with a blue air. NEW NAMES ON THE COAST Perhaps most striking of all the selections is tenor saxaphon ist Harold Land's version of BESS, YOU IS MY WOMAN. The Gershwin classic is treated with careful tenderness, with little deviation from the straight mel ody. WHAT IS THAT THING CALLED LOVE, another long session by the Mercury aggrega tion, is somewhat slower than MOVE, but swings with more easy rhythm. It is packed with riffs and duets, as well as num erous solos which bring memo ries of the Norman Granz.boys in 1948. For an indication of what they're doing on the West Coast, the new EmArcy album is pre pare d to offer a really quick rundown. It includes some new names and some real talent. ovenanfs Unopenly Arrived At Phillips Russell In The Chapel Hill News Leader Something evil is going on in the government bureaus and agencies at Washington. We can say this with convic tion because of the secrecy which has become so dense and spread ing at the capital that newspa per editors,' correspondents, and ven devout administration or gans are complaining. There was never a worse time for secrecy. Events and inventions are al ready so mystifing that the feel ing loose in the air, not only nationally but internationally, has created a special kind of ap prhension and uneasiness. Are we on the verge of war or not? Are we safe not only from out. er but inner enemies? Are our leaders competent and candid? These are some of the ques tions that assail the citizen who believes the only safe founda tion for both domestic and for eign policy is the topmost of the famous Fourteen Points of President Wilson: 'Open convenants openly ar rived at." The only thing that the aver age citizen who reads the guess es and surmises of the newspa pers can be sure of is that we are being subjejeted almost daily to unopen covenants unopenly arrived at. Is the government at Washing ton purposely drawing (further and further away from the aver age man? Even over its routine activities it maintains a veil, and when a citizen asks for the bread of truth he is given the stone of generalities. History plainly asserts that no government can be built on un certainty, apprehension, and dis trust. We have had secrecy at Raleigh. But worse for a peo ple's morals is the secrecy at Washington. TRUTH ABOUT THE SOUTH There are books which tell the truth about the South, and it is to America's interest to encour age this circulation abroad, if only as a counterweight to men dacity. Half a dozen that come to mind, out of a large number, are: Red Hills and Cotton by Ben Robertson. John Brown's Body by Stephen Vincent Benet. The Mind of the South by W. J. Cash. The South in American Litera ture by Jay B. Hubbell. No Day of Triumph by J. Saun ders Redding. America is in a strange posi tion. She needs to convince the world that she is not as indecent ly glamorous as she has painted herself. The truth is that she is a nice girl who has "made her self up" to look like a street walker. Greensboro News Eye Of l he Horse Roger Will Coe (The Horse sees imperfectly, magnifying sorne things, minimizing others.-Wppcrot circa 500 B. C.) THE HORSE was having a bit of trouble with currying Mr. Neckley, the high-level-vision Gi raffe Horsie was up a tree, a not uncommon pre dicament in itself. The Giraffe's neck was up a tree, but another tree. "It's almost as bad as currying favor," The Horse observed, "only in that difficult operation, the curried stand still; until you want something, that is. Mr; Neckley, sir! Neck me your neck!" Was The Horse still in the inertia of quitting? "Oh I have quit, I have," The Horse brogued me in a Paddy's Day echo akin to the heavy scent of funeral flowers after the casket has been re moved. "Whisht, now, haven't we been over that question, me lad?" Yes-s; but wasn't it true that the perhaps questionable physical appearance of the DTH, as well as its numerous errata, was not altogether the fault of the editors and staff? "Oh, aye, lad," The Horse agreed: "An' you can toss in th' printers thereof; and with some bit av a doubt, perhaps the sinning linotypers an' the myopic proofreaders, into the bargain." Ah! Then it was nobody's fault, at all, at all! I watched The Horse take a bowling-ball grip with Neckley's. nares for a purchase, and grimly finish the currying. "There now, Neckley," The Horse dismissed his nomcommital brutish companion. "Roger me lad, it's nobody's fault and everybody's fault. It; is : matter of our all wanting something without pay ing the price tag. It starts with the handling of bids for printing the DTH for the year ahead, or whatever is the time contracted for." Well, I certainly hope we went for the lowest bid, if that was what The Horse meant! "The lowest bid for t;hat?" The Horse inquired, sliding down out of the tree to crash heavily on the ground. "Careful, now this is a moot point!" Why, the lowest bid to print the DTH. "And now you have stated the complete proposi tion, as well as the entire misunderstanding," The Horse said with satisfaction, proning himself like a terrier, hind legs stretched behind him. "The fallacy is in thinking that the lowest price repre sents a saving of money; whereas often, it marks a sheer waste of money." knew The Horse would continue prompting. Nor was I disappointed. without WHEN SPEED INCREASES When speed is increased from 40 to 65 miles an hour, gasoline costs jump almost 30 per cent. Cost of oil consumed goes up almost four times when speed is increased from 40 to 65 mph. At the same time, the cost of wear and tear on tires is two and one-half times as much at the higher speed. Figures compiled by the N. C. Motor Vehicles Department show that during 1954 excessive speed was a factor in about one out of every three fatal auto accidents in North Carolina. 'Put 'er There, Phillip-I Knew We'd Make It!' Listening in on a Robert Frost interview: Tell us more about the bomb, Mr. Frost. How do yon think the world will end? "Phillip Wylie and I are go ing around this year saying the world isn't going to end with a bang and that's official, be cause he's a consultant in the Pentagon." What if the world does end with a bang? , "We'd wake up on the other side if there is another side land congratulate each other on being in on the most remarkable thing in history." On television aerials: "Reaching up for ideas, but all they get is what to to buy." " Quote Unquote Man unlike any other thing organic or inorganic in the uni verse, grows beyond his work, walks up the stairs of his con cepts, emerges ahead of his ac complishments. John Steinback in The Grapes of Wrath. Subject openion - to coercion: whom will you make your in quisitors? Fallible men; men governed by bad passions, by private as wrell as public reasons. And why subject it to coercion? To produce uniformity. But is uniformity of opinion desirable? No more than of face and stature. Thomas Jefferson in Notes On Virginia. If you give to a thief, he can not steal from you and he is then no longer a thief. Wil liam Saroyan in The Human Comedy. A gifted small girl has ex plained that pins are a great means of saving life, "by not swallowing the m." Charles Edward Montague in Dramatic Values. "It is a truism that the best way to save your money is to keep your doggoned hands outa your. . pockets," The Horse stated baldly, a neat feat con sidering the prolificacy of his name. "And if you... must spend money to achieve some worthwhile re- " suit, it does not follow that the lowest price is the cheapest price." Now I was in a spin! Mayday, mayday! "There is a foolproof axiom concerning buying anything, or doing anything," The Horse showed his canine teeth to say dogmatically. "There are three repeat, three! factors involved in any transaction, Roger me spalpeen: Quality; Quantity; Price. Right?" Well, there was also color, size "It comes under Quality, any specification a? , to the article involved," The Horse docked my quibble. "Quality; Quantity; Price. Okay, you got that?" Firmly, but questioningly. "Good," The Horse gooded me. "Now, the axiom is when you specify any two factors, the third must follow, Per se, as Doc Ullman 'of Classics, and I say. Or whenseeking emphasis, per se.se. Catch? You name two factors, and the third is on the house." Could The Horse example? "Sure," The Horse sured me. "Let's say we or der seven thousand copies of a DTH: that's Quan tity, yes? Yes! At a Price of x-obols or drachmas. Right?" I knew The Horse would go on. He did. "Quality, the third factor, must follow," The Horse shrugged his first-baseman-mitt lips. "And this is exactly how we are buying DTH's, and this is exactly why it occasionally looks loused up. It is no accident it is loused up when it is, we specify it when we name quantity and price." What if we worked it some other way? "Okay," The Horse okayed me, "let's say we buy a. specified representative representative of our school and campus and aims and ideals that is quality of DTH; and specify the Price. Okay ready? Okay then Quantity must follow. Maybe be get only three thousand copies of thissa quality at thatta price. You have specified the other two factors; and Quantity follows along." Were we ready for a neat Q. E. D.? "Almost," The Horse grudginly conceded "What the trouble is now, the DTH editors have had Quan tity and Lowest Price specified for them by Stu dent Government, or South Building, or whatever and thus Quality must follow." an,Sid thiS haVG l d Wilh the PaPer's appear- "Sometimes, its very physical appearance on the TZt f rlu uer ThG Horse said- "It mean, hat dedicated chilluns work hard hours at a pit- nf tvnl0 IT Ut the P3per: U means that t x-pric, of S lng, correctin-time, only x-amount in I" meeting, make-ready, proof-read-exoect ,hS "; bC dne- You certai"lv can t want to It fn in thG mn if 1 want to.
