One Mistake With Two Punishments Unfortunately for what seems to be fair administration of justice, students are fre quently tried for civil offenses by both civil courts and student courts. When we brought this matter up recently, defenders of the status quo contended that this double prosecutioff for the same in cident does not constitute double jeopardy. Perhaps not, technically speaking, but is this present system ol double trial fair? Here's how it works: A student, for in stance, is anested in town for disturbing the peas e." And. accoding to local town laws, he is hauled into "court and, if guilty, he pays for his crime. ? Then, alter the student has paid his debt to Chape! Hill .society, the student courts lrequeinly tale the same offender and try him. not lor distrubing the peace, but for iol.vhig the Camjm Code. The D.dK Tar Heel suggests 'that this dou ble ponum for the same mistake.', though' technically noj thv same crime.. be aloh'sh ed. 1 his cotdd be brought alxxit quite sim j)!v: .Student couns could intervene and try oiiendess. instead of die town courts.

I thought it was a clever dig, but actually, the j er is only too happy, to print any letter a student takes the tumble to send in. They already print student opinion. In collecting 11 t ie available copies oi that issue for my grand mother's scrap book, I noticed that not a, single space was filled in. Ar4 after the Tar Heel had ffone to all that trouble!

America's drastic sho:tate of teachers and and schools, which many felt was a national burnt- litation, was abruotly moved last week into the realm of national danger by Atomic Energy Com mkinn' rhairnun Lewis Strauss. Strauss warned on anybody's toes I will gladly send him a chlorophyll gum ball, with tjiat soviet education was outstripping ours in the vital areas of science and engineering. Ihe Att. now plans to a?k Federal subsidies to train nuclear experts. the sincere hope that it don't break his spirit. The Round Up Willie Morris Daily Texan TIME MAGAZINE, unchalleng ed monarch among contemporary weeklies, elicits a somewhat time worn paradox. Its most compli ant readers are those who dis relish it most. They profess hatred for the t magazine, for its views, for its publisher (Henry Luce), for its publisher's wife, Clair Booth Luce, and, less openly and per haps more ashamedly, for the in fluence it plays on their own thinking. . Probably no other periodical in the nation, with the exception of Facts Fdrum and others of the school, produces such egregious , partisanship under the physiog nomy, of objectivity. Time is un dilutedly Republican. It is scur rilous in its treatment of left wingers, yet staunchly favorable to racial desegregation. And only in a. few isolated departments does it fail to show a brutal op " position to all things.; . J ' .

The reason, we believe, is fine ly enmeshed in the human ele-. ment. Its scribes are experts in contriving humor from the humor less. Into the world's salient hap penings they inject the flesh and With this, Strauss has cut sayarely across the line taken bv managers of the White House Con ference who have carefully refrained Torn spelling out any uch emergency as he describes. Thear handbook for thp 2.000 delegates mentions a rough estimate of the" financial needs of U. S. schools but generally implies that the case for Federal aid still needs to be proved ' Their " attitude has1 already caused doubts and misgivings among educators, politicians and labor. The attempt of the national committee to soft-pedal the question of Federal aid especially met with resistance in the state conclaves which preceded this week's meeting. In New York, for example, the state conference revolved against its leader chin and forced inclusioiw'ejf a recommendation for outright Federal aid to schools. - blood of daily living, amply fros ted with some of the most pic turesque language on record. They combine the dramatic with thp tongue-in-cheek, and they are unchallenged masters at the ticklish game of making the rea ders read. Its verbiage can be intensely descriptive. "Molotov, among the Yugoslavs, seemed as uncomfort able as a Sigma Chi at a Kappa Sig rush party," or "The Gross National Product, like an electro cardiogram 'on. the nation's eco nomic heartbeat, condenses on one graph the pulsations of" the whole US economy."

I will not go into other articles, but this one is a shame, not only to the University, but to you. How on earth can you even think of siding with a convicted Commu nist traitor? ; I for one don't see that Mr. Douglas or anyone else owes "Servant of Brotherhood" Scales a damn thing'in the way of de bate. He has had, his "day in court" and had for many years the right to debate. Why does any one with any self-respect have to argue with Mr. Scales now that he has been convicted under tne Smith Act? The only thing wrong with his conviction was that they did not hang him. Sure, you niiist have freedom of speech, but not from a dedi cated Communist Who has as an objective the overthrow of our government. More power to Mr. Douglas and anyone else who steers clear of any person or organization who has, as its objective, the airing of traitors' opinions or views. I don't think anyone owes Mr. Scales a damn thing but six years in prison and that is too good for him. By the way who gives you these editorials you write? I know they don't reflect "student opin ion" as I am quite sure the ma jority of the students don't en dorse them.

Any attempt by the White House to use its close control system to stifle discussion would certainly provoke rebellion in which the educators would join. Many of them are frankly eager for some kind of explosion which would arouse the public to the need for action. " Whatever happens here this week, the question of Federal aid for educationrwiIi be a political issue next year. It is on Democratic leader Johnson's list for Congressional action, and it is widely expected that the Administration will offer its own plan. 1 "' 11. i J IV - ,, , . ...-...- , Bit V- . irh. iJa 4 I I , .

THE CARRBORO police car wailed again," the marines wrapped, their rifles around their necks and after a brief pause managed stiffly to get to a frigid right-shoulder-arms, and the high school band mov ed on, desperately trying to keep in step with itself. t Following them came the Navy ROTC drum and bugle corps, drumming1 but not as yet bugling, then a Navy color guard, then t!ie Navy drill team march ing like clockwork in close order as if to try and keep warm. Then there wa an embarrassing 150-foot space. I was just about to giffle slitherly on up the street and see if I couldn't raise the drum majorette sgain, when a little girl standing next to me . shrieked "There's more coming!'' in the tone of voice one might use to warn people of the second half of a double tital wave. There was indeed more coming. . The Air Force, not to be outdone, appeared in full force witY, a 'white-spatted drill team, which seemed to spend most of its time going in the op posite direction from the rest of the parade. There were so many to-lhe-rear-marches that I couldn't keep track of exactly what it was they were doing, and after a while I just put all their maneuvering antics down to the Air Force's inherent restless urge to get up in the air and away from it all. The Air Free revealed itself, produced a subsidiary contingent in the form of a deep-froen band, and fol lowed this up with seven chilly convertible-loads of honorary Air Force colonelesses, or whatever it is they're called, all looking cheery and bright ' and Christmasy but actually wishing they could get out of the uniforms and have a lovely pajama party or' something in a nice warm sorority house.
