Striking 'Co' From 'Ed'
"I wish you'd just forbid the use of the
word 'coed' in your newspaper," we were
told by our good friend, Miss Mary Gilson,
the other night. "It sets the woman student
apart as something different from other stu
dents." '
The more we think about it the more we
agree with Miss Gilson. If the fairer sex are
"coeds" we reckon we're "eds" but our ex
clusive claim to the "ed" doesn't make sense
at all as long as we're both supposedly being
educated.
It's pure discrimination and we are hereby
agin' it. We've given the girls the vote, we've
given them a seat in the classroom; and as a
matter of Sonth'n gentlemanliness we'll strike
the "aV from "ed."
'The Time Has Come,
The Walrus Said, To
Talk Of Many Things'
Sometimes we tire of trying in our inade
quate way to carry on the great Socratic tra
dition of gadflyism, of buzzing and worrying
and trying to sting our readers about the is
sues thai really count. If we tire, we are sure
you must too.
We would like to sit here with the type
writer keys under our fingers and produce a
column of comment and agreement on Dr.
Ad as s penetrating address, which we would
and do hope you will read anyway. Kingdoms
rise and fall, but the crucial matters of mind
and state and metaphysics so many of which
Dr. Adams touches upon stay at a rising
pitch that never falls far, if at all. .We would
like to talk about them. ,
Hut this tifne, hoping as we write that to
day is one of those sunny and unhurried days
in Chapel Hill, one more fit for communion
than conflict, we will, in keeping with that
hope, play the role of the examiner of a
needle in a haystack.
Hy saying this needle lies in a haystack,
however, we don't mean we think this is a
trivial matter; this is a needle, and it lies at
the heart of what Dr." Adams talks about:
Even in a university, there is not much
time to wear a thinking cap, to brood, to contem
plate . . . Students . . . are endlessly active,
they live in an atmosphere of noise, they study
with a radio turned on; and if a period of quiet
comes that might be an interval of contempla
tion, like Joe the Fat Boy they fall asleep.
But the malady goes beyond Chapel Hill,
of course; it goes beyond the university. Not
many hours after the address had been made,
another X. C. paper reprinted this cry from
The Boston Herald, a cry which Ave don't
consider too far removed from the question
of contemplation and noncontemplation:
Where is the village green, the town square,
the plaza which yesterday graced our communi
ties and served as places for gathering and
gossip?
"Gossip" here is the unfortunate word, but
"village green" and "gathering" go together.
The green, the square, the plaza, the post
olfice have ceased to be places of gabfest as
in the days when Chapel Hill's original gad
fly, Horace Williams, had the campus talking
and contemplating about why dogs catch rab
bits or why Bob Ingersoll was (or was not)
an "evil" man.
Think back, as we did, to the oldest of
academies and you have a different story.
Academy, academic: Those words crowd the
campus. But one begins to wonder if their
real meaning has an application any longer.
When Plato founded his academy he named
it so because "academe" meant grove; and
he and Aristole and the others who plied the
mind at that first academy strolled up and
down along the shady "peripatos" as academ
ic learning was born. Among the trees.
We know we have served up a lot of tan
gents with that original needle we set out to
talk about. But some editorial writers, just
can't stick to the subject.

"QUITE EARLY IN the his
tory of medecine the doctors
found out that a man could di
gest his food best if he ate it
with pleasure among cheerful
friends. So it is with books. You
may devour
vl thousand, swift -
, N J ly and grim-
tw , 'w and yet re
if- -
main, the lean
soul that you
were. The only
mental food
that will turn
to new tissue
within you, and build itself into
your mind, is that which you eat
with a good surge of joy and
surprise that anything so excit
ing should ever have been writ
ten." This passage we discovered in
a small Pelican book entitled
A Writer's Notes on his Trade,
by a gentleman named C. E.
Montague, who used to write for
the Manchester Guardian. It
seems to apply particularly apt
ly to the general state of aca
demic mind which we have ob
served in a large number of peo
ple during the past couple of
weeks. As a matter of fact we
are suffering from, this same
state of mind ourself.
WE DO NOT feel lazy, nor do
we think anyone else feels lazy.
The mental malady which seems
to be spreading with epidemic
force over the campus does not
stem from that old dodge, spring
fever. We had an interesting
comment from a man who has
been around here for some time
now and who has seen this men
tal slump take the student body
by the scruff of the neck and
force it into a state of near col
lapse many times.
"It isn't that the students don't
want to work," he said. "They
do. They realize perfectly well
that exams are coming and that
the culmination of the semester's
work is just over the next rise.
The trouble is that they've had
enough.
"Ever since September they've
been sitting down in the even
ing or in the" afternoon, or every
other evening, or every other
week, or when ever it is they
study (which, by the grades in
my course now, appears to be
never), and plugging know
ledge into their heads. They sit
still and read or do math pro
blems, or lab execises or some
thing, and use nothing but their
heads. This gets tiresome. Young
people are' not built to sit still
all the time; they have to get
out and move around, make
noise, do something. This does
not mean that most 0f them
do not do something when they
are not studying or in classes.
But after a while, just the fact
that they have to look forward
to eventually getting back to the
books and plugging more know
ledge in is enough the send them
fleeing uptown for a beer or a
movie.
"They're stale. They don't
want to learn anymore. They
want to get outside and forget
they ever learned how to read
and then change the face of
the earth.
"Saturday classes accentuate
this trouble. This prevalent state
of mind is why we have panty
raids. I think Mr. Lewis Brum
fielcPs recent remark that there
is not enough to do in the dorms
is an extremely acute observa
tion. Any student who has
trouble studying at this time of
year I don't blame a bit. I have
trouble sometimes making my
self sit down to grade papers."

THIS IS GOOD. At last some
one we agrees with us. The
trouble with the people who
doze off in the Library and the
people who just "lie down for
a little nap," and wake up at
six next morning is not that they
are really sleepy. They have
simply got to the point where
they are reading books, "swiftly
and grimly," and yet remaining
"the lean souls that they were."
We do not offer any 'solution
to this problem. We merely
point it out as consolation for
those wh0 are worried about the
amount of work they are getting
done..
Intervals Of Contemplation Now Lost
In The Grinding Of Collegiate Wheels
Dr. Raymond B. Adams
(The 'following excerpts are
from an address heard by the
new imtiates of the University
Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa on
May 12. Dr. Adams is Professor
of English and acting head of the
department in the absence of Dr.
Dougald M cMillan )
The great Phi Beta Kappa ad
dress was, of course, the address
Ralph Waldo Emerson delivered
at Harvard in 1837; it was, wrote
the poet Lowell, "an event with
out any former parallel in our
literary annals, a scene to be al
ways treasured in the memory
for its picturesqueness and its
inspiration. It was our Yankee
version of a lecture 6y Abelard,"
you see, the Middle Ages keep
insinuating themselves into our
poets' sentences. Custom dictated
the title of Emerson's address,
Phi Beta Kappa addresses at Har
vard in those days were always
titled "The American Scholar."
But when Emerson's address was
reprinted that year in England,
where even Harvard custom had
no force, the pamphlet had a bet
ter title. It was "Man Thinking."
And, sure enough, Emerson's
scholar is not particularly Amer
ican; but he is thinking man any
where. Anywhere, . but not anyhow;.
Man's thinking is systematic:
The scholar of the first age
received into him the world
around; brooded thereon; gave
it the new arrangement of his
own mind, and uttered it a
gain. It came into him life;
it went out from him truth.
It came to him short-lived ac
tions; it went out from him
immortal thoughts. It came to
him business; it went from him
poetry. It was dead fact; now,
it is quick thought. It can stand,
and it can go. It now endures,
it now flies, it now inspires.
Precisely in proportion to the
depth of mind from which it
issued, so high does it soar,
so long does it sing."
That is to say, the creative thing
e"r is not merely an accumulator
of facts. Carol Linnaeus illus
trates the process. He gathered
data whenever and wherever he
could, friends sent him materials,
flowers, leaves, root systems,
fruits, higgledy-piggledy as they
happened to be available. And
when the data was in, Linnaeus
brooded over it, he contemplat
ed it, he took time to bring some
order out of the seeming chaos,
he indulged in an interval of
contemplation until all the hodge
podge items of data arranged
themselves around a principle
that emerged in his mind until
it seemed as if they had polarity
in relation to his principle; and
the result was the Linnaean sys
tem of plant classification, still
in use, almost a law of nature.
What came to him data went
from him a great truth but not
until there had been an interval
of contemplation during which
the bread and wine of data were
transsubstantiated into the body
and blood of truth. You've had
it happen to you, for ever schol
ar in his way is a priest of truth.
You've gathered data from here
and there for a term paper; and
then you've brooded over the
batch of material; and out of
the brooding has come an order
ly term paper that made a con
tribution toward the event of to
night. It will happen to you again
and again. The cares that infest
the day, the little nameless acts
of kindness and of love, the in
cidents of business and of home
life will come to you a hit-and-miss
medley; you will brood on
them in some blessed interval of
contemplation until order ap
pears and a "philosophy the guide
of life" results which, if you are
lucky, will satisfy you forever.
NO TIME TO BROOD
But no good term paper, no
creative piece of literature, no
abiding scientific theory, no phil
osophy of life Can appear with
out its interval of contemplation.
Dead fact cannot become quick
thought until the fact has passed
through the alembic of thought
fulness. That word alembic lit
erally means cap, and in this
process of creative thought we
can let it mean thinking cap. So
what we are saying is that you
cannot amount to much as a
thinker until you will put on
your thinking cap. The "brood
ing thereon" of the Emersonian
scholarly process is an essential
element, a sine qua non.
But in 1955, even in a Univers
ity, there is not much time to
wear a thinking cap, to brood,
to contemplate. Students certain
ly find little time for intervals
of contemplation, and they make
for themselves even less time
than they might otherwise find.
These are times that try young
people's souls. So even college
students join the general public
in the avoidance of thinking,
They are endlessly active, they
live in an atmosphere of noi;fe,
they study with a radio turned
on; and ir a period of quiet
comes that might be an interval
of contemplation, like Joe the
Fat Boy they fall asleep. Many
have concluded that it won't do
to think too much; so- shrewd
students make do what will do.
Faculty members can secure
few intervals of contemplation
either. A great influx of stu
dents a,nd a great efflux of rela
tive income from appropriations
or endowments has left the tea
cher little time for creative
thinking. The machinery of a uni
versity down in the ratchets and
escapements where the classroom
teacher is one of the cogs (that
is down where the machine real
ly ticks) has truly become a fan
tastic mechanism consuming time
and energy when it should be
salvaging time and energy. With
what result? With .the result that
in a modern university, especial
ly in a modern state university,
'very little creative thinking is
done by the faculty. Articles get
published; but most of them are
gatherings of data that never
went through the alembic but ap
peared in print as items of data
properly footnoted. Books get
edited. But how few books get
written! One can gather data on
Tuesday and Thursday afternoons
and on Saturday afternoon unless
the lawn needs mowing and get a
reputation as a scholar thereby.
But one won't get a reputation
as a thinker that way.
NO GLORY FOR A DEAN
Nor is it any better among the
big wheels of the collegiate ma
chine. The intervals of contem
plation never come for the dean
and cannot come in the very na
ture of a university these days.
So challenging statements of pur-
pose seldom come'fromthe dean.
Creativeness doesn't have a
chance. Being the dean must be
a good deal like being a dish
washer, no sooner do you get
one mess cleaned up than the
next mess starts demanding at
tention. There's no perspective
and no future in being a dish
washer. It was never much help
to that functionary to call him
a "pearl diver." And I suspect
the college functionary doesn't
think there's much percentage in
being called "dead." But depart
ments and schools hunger for
challenging policies and for ar
ticulate men free enough to take
the short-lived actions into an in
terval of contemplation so that
before it is too late we can have
for our generation some immor
tal thoughts.
Presidents and chancellors
need to be articulate too. But
are they allowed to be creative
thinkers? I suppose, looking at
them from the vantage point of
a cog down where the machine
does its real ticking, that these
top functionaries have the least
time of all to be creative. They
must be glad-handing every vis
itor,, smoothing down every ruf
fled feather that lifts a pinion
on the campus, making a few
remarks to every gathering of
visiting firemen, seeking monefr,
and (I am sure) dropping ex
hausted into bed night after
night. Statesmanship is postpon
ed. It cannot be delegated to a
committee nor to a conference
nor to a chain of command. A
committee never contemplated
anything. Creative thinking is not
a cooperative venture. It is a
venturing by one man into the
unexplored. That man deserves
to be given the intervals of con
templation without which states
manship cannot come to a uni
versity nor a business nor a gov
ernment nor to a single man
that most independent and most
important state of all. Yet from
universities and businesses and
governments and individuals we
have taken , away intervals of
quiet, knowing all the while that
without them life will never be
transmuted into truth, actions
will never be transmuted into
thoughts, business will never be
come poetry, and the morale in
a university will break because
the sense of the campus will be
that educational occasions are tid
ied over rather than seized with
the firmness and vision that
might have been brought to bear
had there been an interval of '
contemplation when creative
thinking could have been done.
THE EDUCATED
MUST BE BRAVE
Thus Emerson, speaking for
Phi Beta Kappa, prescribed for
those young scholars, for. all
scholars, and for us what Dante
centuries before had called "the
excellent delight . . . the true
blessedness which is gained by
the contemplation of the truth."
Blessed are those who have in
tervals of contemplation, for
they shall have creativeness; and
out of creativeness, certainty;
and out of certainty, bravery. One
cannot hold a truth unless he has
worked his way through details
to the principle that underlies
the details; and one cannot be
brave unless he holds fast to a
truth. And the educated man
man must be brave.
We fear, and rightly, suddeii
bombardment and the shattering
of our skies by guided missies
carrying hydrogen warheads. Our
conscience has not been very
good since Hiroshima, and we
are not sure that those who took
up the atom may not perish by
the atom. Such is a natural fear
probably good for our corporal
soul provided we can keep cor
poration and soul together. But
we fear one another; we fear in
formers amongst us; ' we fear to
go on record in any positive way
lest at a later and worse time
those positive ideas shall have
become unpopular and the rec
ord then may rise up against us.
So at last we fear the very in
tervals of contemplation we so
much need, for the latter end of
contemplation is truth amidst
the appearances. We know too
(for we have not come through
college without catching hints of
the obligations of intellectual in
tegrity) we know that once we
by ourselves and for ourselves
find truth, it will not be gain
said. Then we must take a stand
or hate ourselves ever after. It
,is more comfortable to be dec
orous and yield to the lesser
fears than to run the risk of
taking a stand. Yet decorousness
is not comf stable either, for
then we shall have yielded, a
very unsatisfying performance.
It's an old dilemna. There is
comfort to be bought by not fac
ing up to the truth; but there is
no comfort within ourselves un
less we face up. Shall we have
comfort around us or shall ve
have comfort within us? It seems
we cannot have both.
THE MOST
DEPRESSING PROBLEM
. . . There"will be forever with
you one problem that has vexed
man through all history: the
problem of a free mind. The issue
of intellectual freedom arises to
acuteness in every human gener
ation and forces itself upon ev
ery thinking person. It is com
mon; but it does seem particular
with us. Communism dare not
permit the free mind; fascism
dare not permit it. And unfor
tunately democracy, fearful of
both communism and fascism,
thinks in its fear, that freedom
of mind cannot be permitted ei
ther. Little un-free minds think
in terms of knowledge that must
be classified away from open dis
cussion. In the name of preserv
ing democratic freedom small
minded men have been withhold
ing information and deciding
what shall be withheld from thfe
rest of us, delighting in playing
a cloak-and-dagger game, until
our democratic freedom even in
simple and harmless matters is
threatened by a breed of mart
inet such as has not operated in
America before. This is likely to
be the problem that will depress
you most and challenge you most.
In some measure it has faced ev
ery educated person. It happens
to be facing educated people
now in an aggravated form and
demanding of them more crea
tive thought than it has demand
ed of some college generations
in quieter times.
It will be no trouble to gather
data about the problems. The
times will see to that, the data
will come merely because we are
thinking beings in a living so
ciety. You know, of course, that
there are no ivory towers any
more. But there will be difficulty
in securing the intervals of con
templation which thinking beings
need as the data accumulates. The
times will see to that difficulty
also, for life these days hurries
us and leaves no intervals. I
have envied people of one and
two centuries ago who managed
things better, wrote hundreds
(even thousands) of marvelous
letters, read thousands of pages
of fine print, indulged in the now
forgotten art of conservation,1
made long slow journeys, did a
life's work, and found, time for.
it all. It would; seem that thi3
twentieth century could have sav
ed time for us; but its time-saving
gadgets have lost us time it
self. So just on the score of in
terruption and pressure of de
mands on our time it will Ss dif
ficult to find the intervals. Fac
ing the facts will be difficult also
because we are romanticists anft
would rather escape. And convic
tion wijV be diffacult because
around every one of the impend
ing problems partizans and zeal
ots will be lining up on both sides
with their nasty selfishnesses
and prejudices. So, when finally
you shall have thought your way
through to a firm conviction
about the issue and taken a stand,
you will perforce associate with
partizans and zealots; and un
thinking people, partizans and
zealots of , the other camp, will
regard your firm conviction
merely as so much more parti
zanship and illiberality. With
problems come dilemmas if one
thinks.
WHAT COLLEGES ARE FOR
I am not going to close any Phi
Beta Kappa address with a sug
gestion that members of this fra
ternity should not think in the
face of what is likely to come in
the next twenty years, or forty
years, or even sixty years for
life expectance increases and all
of you may live to be eighty. Like
all times, these are times of cri
sis, no worse than all times, but
no better either. The world al
ways needs thought brought to
bear on its problems. Perhaps
the best thought will be brought
to bear by non-college thinkers.
Unfortunately the world, has not
found out how to anticipate them.
If they come, so much the bet
ter. Meanwhile the world has
built colleges by way of provid
ing itself with thinkers in an
ticipation of problems to come.
It has not been the world's idea
that colleges would be used for
the selfish dilettantism Dante de
scribed as being "friendly with
wisdom in some direction because
of some certain delight." Nor, I
am convinced, has it truly been
he world's idealhat colleges
would be used for the equally
selfish commercial vocationalism
which Dante called being "a
friend of wisdom for profit." The
world has known that problems
will perennially arise which no
thing short of creative thinking
can solve, so it has been the
world's idea that colleges would
be used over and above immedi
ate and practical objectives to
move educated men and women
with "that most excellent delight
which suffers no interruption
nor defect, to wit the true bles
sedness which is gained by the
contemplation of the truth," as
Dante described it.
This sounds very noble; but it
may not seem noble three or four
years from now at a work bench
or at a desk, in a barracks or
in a kitchen. Idealism has a hard
time in such areas of bread and
butter affairs where it is hard
to apply "Philosophy the Guide
of Life" as a slogan. It will take
all the "three o'clock in the
morning courage" you can mus
ter to make for yourself an in
terval of contemplation leading
to an utterance of truth in so
cramped a form. If under these
circumstances this process of cre
ative thinking doesn't seem to
matter to ybu, then truly for you
it won't matter, for almost cer
tainly with that attitude you will
not achieve better circumstances.
But if the problems of the great
world do seem to matter in the
little world where you work and
live, then you will be revealing
qualities that the great worM
wants. I have no belief in "mute,
inglorious Miltons." I am Carly
lean enough to believe that tie
world calls forth its spokesmen,
and idealist enough to believe
that Miltons will not, cannot re
main mute because "if these
shall hold their peace, the stones
will cry out." The World then,
and your University, and the So
ciety in whose name all this is
said tonight, regardless of your
vocations or avocations, your
places or prospects, expects you
to do creative thinking and has
sealed that expectation in your
case by the symbol of a Phi Beta
Kappa key, hopeful that in years
to come there will be intervals
of contemplation when you can
wear that key proudly.
Politics Of Parity,
Idiot Boards, And TV
Gerald Johnson
The House Democrats pulled a rank political
rfrai when they drove through that farm bill restor
er riid parity prices at 90; but it was not a bit
aLer tZa the one. Canute Eisenhower pulled
15 wheft.he told the farmers .that 90 not
enough, that. he favored: 1001; and then, after he
was elected, recommended .75 .
The truth is they are all playing politics wih
farm legislation, and the consumer .s the gnat. Ihe
only sensible idea yet for dealing with farm sur
pluses was the Brannan Plan, and both, parties de
nounced, that. The only time you can count on the
Democrats , and . the Republicans to agree is when
somebody offers a plan with some sense in it. They
can usually agree to kill it. ( r
BRANNAN'S IDEA
Brannan's idea was to give the farmer his parity
prices, but also to, give the consumer a break. Let
the government buy up the stuff but never put a
in storage; throw it on the market for what it will
bring and pay. the farmer the difference by direct
subsidy out of the Treasury. This would run up
the deficit, to.be sure, but it would pull down the
cost of living; and as the .cost of living came down,
gradually parity would come down. In the end we
might get hack to a general price level at which
we could do business with the rest of the world
without artificial aids.
Yet nobody would be badly hurt. When you took
out of the consumer's pocket in taxes you would
put back in. a lower cost of living; and eventually,
as parity came down with the reduced cost of
living, you could ease off on taxes. Yet the Bran
nan Plan was denounced by all Republicans and
a good many Democrats as the most insane idea
of the whole New Deal-Fair Deal era.
!
MARK HANNA DAYS " 1
The law that the Democrats have just put
through is half the Brannan Plan. It gives the far
mer his parity price, as Brannan recommended; but
it doesn't give the consumer a break to balance the
benefit to the farmer. The Republican measure was
even more cynical. It simply cut down parity without
benefiting either the farmer or the consumer. It
was a reversion to the old policy that prevailed in
the Mark Hanna days when things get tight,
throw the farmer to the wolves first.
The Democratic variation on that is save the
farmer and throw the consumer to the wolves. It
may be an improvement, but I can't see it that way;
it looks more like a political dodge to avoid the
policy of saving them both. Both could be saved,
but only by dragging the whole business out into the
open, where everybody could see it. If the differ
ence between parity and market price were paid
out of the Treasury we should know to a dollar
what the farm program costs; but as long as it is
paid by keeping up the price of farm products the
cost is concealed, at least in part.
FAGIN'S STATESMANSHIP
If this is statecraft, then Fagin was a statesman.
His business, you remember, was to teach the boys
how to pick your pocket neatly, quickly and without
the slightest pain, in fact without your being aware
that it had been picked. That was and is the es
sence of farm legislation from time immemorial,
and it doesn't lie in the mouth of either party to
howl about the low morals of the other: for they
have both played politics to the limit and both
are playing politics now, with Eisenhower leading
the game.
Senator Neuberger, of Oregon, is a man whose
ideas are always interesting and amusing and quite
frequently right, but I can't follow him in his recent
demand .that no politician shall appear on television
in make-up, or read his stuff from an "idiot board"
that is, copy held up out of sight of the camera
unless the fact is announced. Senator Neuber-cr
says he is opposed to fraud and wants the vot?n
public to see politicians as they arc.
ANOTHER SIDE
This sounds fine, but there is another side
to it If there is anything that can improve a poli
tician, mentally or physically, I am all for it The
public is going to suffer enough under anv condi
tions; why put it to avoidable pain? I admit that
some cynics might use this as an excuse to rule out
elevision in politics altogether. Isn't it cnouah.
without hArt,haVe l liStGn to the P-iei-without
having to look at them too?
"'.f0" carfy argument that far, vou
