The Party Boys
at Sam Magill
:Spexking to the Student Party last week,
new l)ean of Student Activities Sam Magill
tolti the pbliticos that their job was to pri
vide leadership, '
The Daily Tar Heel heartily r.grees-and
has said so in a recent editorial that pointed
to the lack of leadership in student govern
ment. ' ,
"The most crying need in student govern-
.,.,..,4. . I.,.. " A ..,-1 T-ioIIl "k riiirnrrfus
capable and confident leadership." The dean
of student ac tivities said that campus political
parties were the spawning grounds for stu-,
dent leaders, the place where issues are plac
ed before the student body. And we agree
wi'Ji this, too.
However, again we must point to the poli
tical parties on campus both silent now that
the election is over and declare them both
unrltentive -to the problems of Carolina.
The current and most pressing problem
befoie students is that of the judicial system.
Strong indications seem to point to the pos
sibility of faculty control, if students don't
perform needed changes in the judiciajsy
tem soon.
"Yet neither party as much as mentioned the
.judicial systems in its fall election platform.
Some may contend that the parties should'
slav away from the courts, yet it is the student
Legislature composed of party members
th.v; will enact-most changes in the court set
up. And it is the parties to whom we like ad
ministrator Magill look for leadership. But
we find it hard to locate these days.
Charm From The
Idiot Board
A recent Associated Press wirephoto shows
a jaunty Ike, completely over the duress of
his heart attack, descending the steps of the
Gettysburg College Administration building.
The idolized man wears 'the famous "Ike
grin," a snappv fedoua, and a buttoncd-up
Sam Spade raincoat, and he is just after mak
ing a TV-filmed speech to be released at the
opening session of the White House Confer
ence on Education.
The picture is rosey.
But. there is a Gulliver in Lfllput" trailing
Ike down the sieps, none other than ' the
charming TV star and producer, Robert
Montgomery. We don't know, but we guess,
that the charming? rr Montgomery has been
in the studio-with Ike, teaching him how to
speech on education, how to crease that left
cheek; rimple j,e 'o. !' rv-Iv to arch that
riglit eve' -w as he flashes his grin.
That , pictyre is revolting.
Ar, hard-bitten political realists, we can
stomach with a chillv grin and a slight hunch
of the shoulders the idea of campaign speech
es over TV with all the professional touches
Mr. Montgomery has to offer. Whether the
G. O. P. puts up the weakened Ike or the
chipmonk-cheeked Nixon, the voters may rest "
assured there will be a lot of commercial
acting: Ike lovably dolled up in his smoking
jacket before the firseside at Gettysburg; Dick
with Checkers, Pat and the kids.
But the educational crisis as focused upon
by the White House Conference is hardly the
occasion for professional television acting:
it is hardly the occasion to let us know that
the American people will' be handed a can
ned speech from the President where more
emphasis will be placed on Montgomery-installed
chr .m than candidness.

Communism, Freedom
& A DTH Editorial
Editors:
Your editorial on R. D. Douglas,
in the Nov. 17 Daily Tar, Heel
interested me. Let me ask you a
question. Does my freedom of
speech extend to being allowed to
incite other people to violence
in order to take away from, let
its say Chancellor House, his au
tomobile or other of his private
possessions? I think not, because
as John Stuart Mill, whom you
quote " in your editorial, would
have been one of the first to ad
mit, the rights of one person are
limited by the correlative rights
of his fellow citizens. . Yet the
self-avowed program of commu
nism includes the violent over
throw of non-communistic govern
ments, and the forcible depriva
tion of citizens in general of their
private property.
Any doubts about the last state
ment will be quickly dispelled by'
reading through Nathan Leites'
Operation .Code of the Politburo
(New York, McGraw-Hill, 1951),
a research done by the author for
the Air Force under a grant from
the Rand institution. , .
It seems to' me that Junius
Scales, and other communists on
ly differ from the case of an in
dividual inciting to violence
against an individual in the vast
ness of the scope of their plans.
As for Mr. Douglas, it seems to
me that in attacking his position
you are attacking the very thing
you claim to be defending, free
dom of speech. This latter cer
tainly, if it has any meanings also
includes the freedom not to speak
Mr. Douglas , finds that speaking
for a group that has invited an
avowed communist to participate
in its progiam is inconsistent
with his moral values. According
ly, he has a perfect right to de
cide to withdraw his name from
the program, in attacking this ac
tion of his, you are submitting
him to verbal punishment which
is bot hunfair and lessens the li
berty of his fallow citizens to do
likewise, since they must fear
such attacks in the press. Nobody
wishes to be publicly pilloried.

Professors Should
Abide By System Too-
Editors:
Professors expect students to
abide by the Honor System; why
don't they.
I would like for you to remind
them that they are supposed to
leave the room after handing out
a quiz. Instead most of them walk
up and down the aisles or stand
in back or front of you. It gives
me an uneasy feeling to have a
professor do this. After all, didn't
w vote in the Honor System so
we would not have to be watched
like a group of adolescents.
I think the students have, prov
ed that they will abide by the
Code. So now let's see the pro
fessors. J know many people feel
the same as I do about this.

MATTER OF FACT
Th
Joseph Ct Stewart AIsop
WASHINGTON There is a real surge of hope
that President Eisenhower may after all run again.
It is obviously w-ishful. It does not appear to be
based on any rational evidence. There is nothing to
indicate that the President-has so much as hinted
at his intention to anyone in public life; and there
are a good many positive reasons to think he has
carefully avoided any discussion of the future ex
cept with members of . his immediate family. , .
Nonetheless, this surge of hope that the Presi
dent will run has now got to be taken very serious
ly, partly because it is so strong,, and more par
ticularly because it centers among the closest mem
bers of the President's official team and his closest
friends outside the government.
. O .. i-,',-
Up to a fortnight ago, although the official line
has always -been that "we're going on the assump
tion the President-will want to finish the job," al
most not one truly expected that he would do any
thing of the sort. But now the gloomy resignation
of the first month after the President's heart at
tack has been replaced b a new outlook. The fore
casts are always couched. in some such language
as "I really think he may run after all," or "I al
most believe he'll do it in spite of the heart at
tack." But although tentative, the forecasts are
sanguine.
Of coarse the men who make these forecasts des
perately w:ant to think what they now think. Yet
these men arc reasonably hard-headed. The change
in their atLitude has got to be attributed to some
cause more , solid than mass hypnosis. It has to be
attributed, in fact, to the atmosphere these men
find when they make their pilgrimages of business
or friendship to the convalescent President's bed
side or office. ' . ;
They emphasize, naturally, the remarkable rap
idity and speed of the President's recovery. They"
place great emphasis, too, on the way he has ac
tively reached out for his responsibilities, refusing
from the very start to accept his invalid diet of
information that was originally prepared for him,
and insisting instead on being given all the facts,
pleasant and unpleasant, about any government
problem up for discusson.
But above all these very high authorities always
emphasize two other points of a more special 'char
acter. O", -
. First, the President has been deeply affected by
the tremendous outpouring of affection and concern
which his illness produced, not only in this coun
try, but also throughout the world. In a rather
macabre way, it has been like reading his own
obituaries. The argument runs that he has found
these semi-obituaries so extremely encouraging that
he now thinks life more than ever worth living.
Second, the long, enforced inactivity of his con
valescence is also said to have bored the President ,
to tears. When a man is harassed and overdriven
by the cares of a great office, retirement may seem
most attractive to him. But if he is primarily k man
of action, like Dwight D. ;E!genhower, a long spell
of vegetable, convalescent dullness is likejy. to
change his viewpoint. It can 'make him anxious.only
to get back to work as soon as possible. . :
THE DAILY ,TAR HEEL
An Apple For The Teacher
t : i
t '
Perhaps, therefore, a better clew to the Presi
dent's future course lies in what he said, prior
to the heart attack, to this year's annual White
House party for the 22 Republican Congressmen
and ex-Congressmen, headed by Gov. Christian Her
ter of. Massachusetts, who signed the famous 1952
.Congressional telegram asking Eisenhower to be a
candidate.
In response to a toast to his 1956 candidacy, the
President told the 22 that for health and other
reasons he was strongly inclined to retire. He added
that he could not tell what he would do in the end,
but he was sure of two things: He knew quite well
that there were certain Republicans whom he did
not wish to succeed him; and if he decided to retire,
he would work hard for the nomination of a man
who would carry on where he left off, and he would
"then work even harder for this m'an's election.
Where Scientists
Are Squares7
Judging by an' Oklahoma City high school sur
vey, Ameriean"scientists are- in as ill odor today
as were French scientists in the 1790s when the
Jacobins' pre-guillotine slogan was: "The republic
has no use for scientists." Oklahoma City young
sters polled on their attitude toward making sci
ence a life work registered their negative viewpoint
with references to scientists as: squares, long-hairs,
timid old men in musty laboratories, evil genii and
unsocial fellows. -
If these Oklahoma boys were up on their cur
rent events they-w'ould know that' a lot of two-fisted
scientists and engineers are hard . at work under
a burning sun in the Middle East, India and the
1 Far East, some are shivering up in the Arctic, oth
ers are tossing about in the Gulf of Mexico in the
search' for oil and quite a few are risking their
necks in the testing of jet planes and guided mis
jsjles Possibly the Oklahoma City high schools are
a little weak on their vocational ""counseling.
75r9f-:
I kink
Such are the arguments of tie optimists who now
believe the odds are better than even that the
President will be a candidate to succeed himself.
The more sensible of these men close to the Presi
dent have now abandoned the thoroughly silly idea
that the Presidency can somehow be transformed
into a part-time job. This kind of self-delusion, at
any rate, is no longer being practiced on a wide
scale in high quarters.
But most of the men who make lhe.se arguments
will also admit, ; if pressed, that the President did
not wish to run again even before he had his heart
attack. He had been persifaded to do so, but against
his personal preference and despite the strong
contrary pleas of his wife and son. Hence the argu
ments that he will now run amount to saying that
a major heart attack has had the somewhat unex
f pected effect of making the President want to con
tinue in his man-killing job, although he did not
want to' do so when he had not had this physical
warning. .
St. .Louis Post-Dispatch
Eisenhower t
Iho President '
Doris Plceson
WASHINGTON The figure of
President Eisenhower as a' po
ltiical leader, has inevitably fad
ed since his heart attack in Den
ver two months ago. His usual
late summer vacation there had
already lasted six weeks so it is
now three-and-a-half months
since lie appeared full time and
fully vigorous at the helm of the
Ship of State.
The President's staff closed
ranks and moved to protect their
positions from the very start of
his illness. Since his recovery be
gan to seem assured, their ef
forts have had a two-fold pur
pose. t
They are trying with every de
vice available to the Presidency
and these are many to re
create a valid political image of
Eisenhower in the minds of the
American people.
'..-"'
By using the same-broad pow-"
ers to arrange and command they
arc seeking to persuade the
President that he can for an
other term serve the country as
a Chief of State whose burdens
can be tailored to fit his strength
rather than require him to find
the strength to bear all of them.
His staff's concept suggests if
Eisenhower runs for anything
next year it will not be for
President in the sense that the
country has known its Presidents.
To the President's Constitu
tional ; responsibilities, tradition
and practice have added the post
of leader of his party. They have
put him at the center of the
great web of government, ex
pecting him always to stand
guard and strike the best possi
ble balance between the social
and political pressures of the
time.
The question of a Presidency
re-shaped to . fit the special
Eisenhower situation would as
suredly be a major issue of the
campaign. His official family is
still confident that he can and
should run and will win. An im
portant Administration figure has
told friends that the state, of the
world requires the President to
serve a second term and that he
can be so persuaded.
It should be promptly added
that there is nothing untoward or
unnatural about these develop
ments. It happened to Franklin
Roosevelt who cooperated eager
ly. It would happen, under the
same circumstances, to Adlai
Stevenson were he President. It
is the way people are.
It Is a temptation especially to
. Republicans at this point to ra
tionalize their hopes because they ,
are deeply divided among them
selves and recent elections have
shown them that they are the
minority party as well.
The White House staff activ
ities reached a climax of sorts
when the principal men in the
Federal Administration climbed
out of helicopters in a high wind
at the tiny Catoctin Mountain
baseball field. A high wind was
blowing and their faces were
tinged with green but they game
ly praised their single-engined
transport. -
They were being brought to
Camp David, the President's Cat
octin retreat to which he had
driven from his Gettysburg farm
25 miles away. He first saw the
National Security Council for an
hour and a half, then Secretary of
State " Dulles for ' half an hour.
Then he played bridge with Dul
les and Secretaries Humphrey and
Wilson. He entertained the Cab
inet at dinner and met with it on
Tuesday morning.
Washington with White House
No. 1 is feeling somewhat envi
ous of all the drama at the rival.
Gettysburg and Catoctin White
Houses. The weather here is bea
utiful, too, and 1600 Pennsylvania
Avenue is comfortable and se
cure. But reporters at the other
White Houses can with difficulty
learn anything except what they
are told officially and that is not
true of the original.
SOMETHING WRONG
Two small boys standing in
front of -the 'scale in front of
Hugh Austins store nudged each
other and begin to grin when a
very fat lady ' hauled herself up
onto the platform.
The penny tinkled down and
they craned their necks. But
something was obviously wrong
with the mechanism of the scale
the pointer went straight up to
75 pounds and stayed there.
"Can you beat that?" one kid
whispered. "She's hollow."
