A 'B' In Lenoir St One Solution Basic-ally, the .sanitation at Lenoir HalT i$ good. These are the words, of. a district health of ficer, not the manager of Lenoir Hall. And in this statement lies the reassurance that, de spite a Ii health rating, the University's eating hall is still sale,' healthful, and wholesome. -Lenoir Hall - was trged with this second class mark for garbage disposal problems, the presence of roaches, faulty cleaning and ev sonnel troubles. .But, as the entire story un folds, it becomes evident that the B was par tially bad luck. ' According to Lenoir Hall Manager CI. W. Priilaman, ''inexperienced dishwashers" caus ed the rating drop. Perhaps, if we are not being over presumptuous, this is an oversim plification. Nevertheless, as Mr. Priilaman said himself, "a perfect rating is hard to get.' The Daily Tar Heel, likc Manager PriUa nian, regrets the drop in 'Lemur's rating. We hope it will not reflect undue discredit upon a manager, who has done much to improve Lenoir. But at the same time we trust the rating will serve warning that students de serve the cleanest. Student government could perform the campus a service by using its facilities and leadership to. report deficiencies in Lenoir to the -management.- Running such a large op eration is difficult: the lines of communica tion are not always ideal. With this help, The Daily Tar Heel feels that Manager Priilaman and his staff can keep Ienoir up to the level students desire. When The Dukes Meet The Carolinas Each fall, just before the Dukes and Caro linas meet to , play football, student leaders from the two schools' -'meet to "discuss a cru cial question. We went to the meeting, an auspicious gathering, and listened to leaders talk of an swers to the crucial question. Intellectually, the Duke dean steered stu dent minds to the problem of the "unthink ing few . . within the thinking mass." And statesman-like President Don Fowler and Duke President Herd Bennett talked of joint declarations! '-Student jurors judiciously is sued, ominous statements. In short, we were impressed,; j. . .4 Thetr;k't;rit Into" the evening: A de bate arose over the proper kind of joint state-' ment by the,. student chiet. executives; there was mijch brow i-raising Kver possibilities ,ti unplanned pep vailjes; aiuL somewhere iirt.Iie vocce the editors agreed to write an editorial. , ,.

Parking In Chapel Hill Helene Ivey News Leader The professor drove into the parking lot east of Bynum Hall. When he found not vacant space he went to the lot west of the building. No vacancy was there either. He said something under his breath and looked at his watch. It was four minutes to nine. He went back and looked over the east side again. Still ho luck. Then be drove down Cam eron Avenue to the area between Manifcy and Caldwell buildings. Every space had a car. Again he looked at his watch. It was nine; time for his class to start. He hurried back to Bynum Hall and parked in a "No Parking" area. On his way to class he asked a secretary to please call his wife and ask her to come get the car. "She'll have to take a cab over here," he explained as he hur ried up the steps. Various versions of this episode happen many time each day. Why? Because there are 2000 full-time employees of the uni versity and only 600 parking spaces. Only full-time employees of the University, are permitted to park on the campus between eight in the morning and 3 in the afternoon. Fortunately some of them walk to work or ride bicycles while others have wives or husbands who take the cars away. Students who can convince the dean that they are so dis abled that they cannot walk are also given permits. - This year about 2,132 students "brought their cars with them. However, as , indicated, during the working day, no student, even though he be a family man living several miles from the Un iversity, may park on the campus inside the rectangle bounded by Columbia ' 'and Hillsboro Streets, the Raleigh Road and Franklin, mil, That Takes Care Of That Problem' ! 1 !i- :rr--rfl; ,-,V rTCii & I - 1' r-TZ I f it f s r f - , L. m; 4i BUSINESS STAFF Fred Katzin, Stan Bershaw, Mary Grady Burnette, Charlotte Lilly, Ted Wain-" er, Darryl Chason.

There( axes eyenty parkfni spices ialfca main block of Franklin Street. There are , about 70 more vithin two blocks of this area. At pres-ff ent a vacant lot on the' corner of Rosemary and Columbia -streets is being used to 'park about eighty cars. This is a teiti-; porary haven, but Mr. William Sloan and Mr. Watts s Hill, the owners, have other plans for the property. " Even on West Franklin Street the problem is acute. On many occasions women on marketing missions can find no parking space near the supermarkets and must go to Glen Lennox to buy groceries. Then Merchants' Association may build off-street parking fa cilities in the near future to pre vent the outflow of business. The university, too, is con cerned about the situation. The planning board has recommend ed that several plots, one on either side of the Bell Tower and one ajoining Emerson Field on the Raleigh Road, be used for this purpose. But only about 100 cars could be accommodated there. Eventually the space oc cupied by temporary buildings, including the Institute of Gov ernment barracks, will be used for parking lots. A member of the planning board suggested that. Country Club Road in the vicinity of Cobb Dormitory be widened 20 to 30 feet to permit diagonal parking there, but the board rejected the idea. A parking lot is being con sidered south of the stadium. It would hold about 200 cars and be connected by the by-pass high way. Thus it will drain off the Eastern and Southern football visitors. The Board of Trustees have set aside for a park a plot of land across the street from Cobb Dormitory. It is possible to have a road with diagonal parking spaces within- about twenty feet of the perimeter of the park. But the great problem in find ing parking space is that the trees would have to be cut down. In Chapel Hill that is a serious itiesjforUHe READER'S RETORT ... iiyifHii.4 -I., u .... . t Editorsjf .

Louis Graves on the automobile situation at UNC was read witn interest, and while it is not the purpose here to deny that a change is in order, the invective of the imminent editor against the student body is certainly open to challenge. v s ' ' . . We quote from Mr, Graves' .article:, 'The great majority of students are minors in the sight, of the law, and, when any question of,. University policy is up for discussion, they, should also be regarded as minors by the faculty. Listen to what they say, treat Jhem courteously . and sympathetically, i but don't let them usurp functions that belong to grown people." . ! , ' . Yes, Mr. Graves, - listen to what they have to say, pat them on the head and tell them "now run along and play, Sonny, and let papa 'make the de cisions." He forgot to add j Vgiye them some marbles to play with." Such a ' policy would undoubtedly insure that UNC turn out responsible, citizens able to make decisions for themselves. ' f - ; In his desire to treat students like errant school boys, Mr. Graves. has condemned the student body en masse for the possible caprices of a few. Is it althogether . unthinkable' that a ; large -portion of UNC students, possibly eve'n a majority,, are capa ble of making sound, reasonable decisions?- Or in these modern times does age have a curb on 'intel lect? Are the views i of ;' the student body to be con demned before they are -heard? When are young people to be si ven the prerogative of making: de cisions that affect themselves? Perhaps", when they have reached Mr, Graves level of ''knowledge" and experience" and they are so shackled with guidance by others that they can never cast off the habit. Not only is Mr." Graves'' Article an Insult to UNC students, it is also ah ; insult to many parents who sent their sons and daughters here to gather, be sides textbook knowledge, a certain amount of in dependence and ability to make decisions in their Editors .

Director Editors: The time has come to call to the attention of college students the great, damage they are doing to their personal reputations and the reputation of their universities. The University of North Caro lina is no exception to this damaging behavior. Students attending public performances are prone to rude and degrading behavior in the form of pre fane, obscene language and boisterous conduct. Irresponsible members of the student body create disturbances because they are not, willing to show any respect or consideration for fellow students and citizens. ,.' ... Even our classrooms have fallen victim to this uhgentlemanly behavior. Professors of long standing and with many years service to the student body and the University are being treated very disres pectfully1 by boos and hisses in .their own classes. Students, let's put a stop tn-. this sort of behavior and set an example for the other colleges and universities-Let's, show the public that our Honor System and Campus Code' require more than a sim ple refraining from cheating on exams and that we believe in and live by this honor code. ..."

Like every pro fessional, he has seen many pro mises broken, many alliances come apart in the clinches. What he has to decide is how and where to show strength with out creating controversies whicn will ruin all his convention chan ces and damage the party's pros pects in the general election. Kefauver believes and has war ned publicly that Democrats are -in a much tighter contest for the Presidency next year, even with- out Eisenhower and against Vice President Nixon, than most of them think. He can see them throwing away the election with one of the family ' fights with which they have often diverted the public. The Sena'tor is much too astute not to understand the nature of his own following. Their feeling for him is very personal, very emotional. They think he got "the works" from the bosses in 1952 and that it is the bosses who don't like him now. They could easily be led into standing at Armageddon and believing they were battling for the lord. Such struggles make wonder ful news stories but by creating those peculiarly lethal family an tagonisms, they lose elections and almost certainly ruin the future political prospects of their lead ing figures. Estes Kefauver wants to go places. He is only 52 now. HE CAN be mistaken but many shrewd observers think he is not mistaken in his ,assesment of the situation and of his own role. It is a heady responsibility for him to decide, what he ought to do and 'the important part k in ; the: Presidential picture on either side is going to have to HlrlJftihth'is'ducks in a row. ! 1 f R?H T th ;.he tegal reqUire j -J toWnl's 1 iW ' f h'e ! primaries , start j .beingi aperitive ibout them. ""The 'preWnt suggested pattern is foStevenson J to take the 7 i ririesota and Illinois primaries without interference from Ke- fauver. In return Stevenson would not enter New Hampshire which, while a small state, holds the psychologically important lead off primary, or Wisconsin. This disposes of the first four primaries. Stevenson could con ceivably trade New Jersey (No. 5), where he has Governor Mey ner's support, leaving Kefauver alone in Massachusetts (No. 6) where oddly enough, the Ten nesseen seems to have quite a following. After that the way is un clear. Both men need the Ore gon primary as a test of North western sentiment and already the local Democratic talent is starting to run a partisan fever as , between their own possible nominees. When, for example, Carmine DeSapio, the New York leader, ventured West in behalf of Governor Harriman, Oregon state chairman Howard Morgan met him with a blast which ap peared to suggest that DeSapio and other Democratic city leaders presided over the modern coun terparts of Sodom and Gomor rah. Then there is California, the second largest state, so great a prize, so complex a political pro blem. Kefauver is singularly isolated as he works on his plans. He is a real professional who has foug ht his way up, but his support is still largely amateur. Fortuna tely for him, his massive energy and temperamental calm seem equal to the tasks he sets him self. CORRECTION: Harry S. Tru man did not, as I incorrectly sta ted last week, carry Indiana in 1948. He came close, losing itby 13,246 or less than one per cent of the 1,656,214 votes cast for President. Four years earlier, Thomas E. Dewey carried Indiana with 94, 488, plurality out of 1,672,091 votes cast. Four years later Gene ral Eisenhower carried the state with 334,729 plurality out of a total vote Of nearly two mil lion. These are t wide swings. Thus the point of the column is not vitiated.
