'I Told You Not To Ask About Nixon' IMOV 50 Jii The final whistle hrs tooted, the grid games are over, and now- arnu h.ur-quartei backim alumni are huddling over their latest play to lure a new coaeh. Tonight's Athletic Council meeting repre sents the first, period in that post-season game Which' probabh .will determine the Universi ty's future athletic policies and the future ol Coach' George Barcb'V. : ' There's little' doubt in Chapel Hill that Coach Barclay will go the way of all big-time football coaches who fail to win enough games, the'-way out. lint, fortunately Tor this institution's higher sense of fair play and ethic s, a number of ( hecks and balances stand between the Athletic Council and the hiring til :i new coach. ' ' And somewhere along this path or cnecKS, we trust, a sane voice -will rise and the Uni versity crm return an amateur team to the field with dignity, no professional, win-at-all-co.sts pi iming. , The Rumors Jim Tatum.1 so this week's rumor goes, is the favorite to replr:e exiting Barclay.. But, so another newspaper rumor runs, the present salary limit for a Carolina coach is lower than Tatum's price, and liig Jim wants the securi ty of the -directorship of athletics, now firmly in the hands of Chuck F.ricksoiv The state press not to its credit, Tuts puffed up these and other rumors and speculations to in.e headlines, alternating between the different versions to sell more papers. None of these papers, including the Charlotte Obser ver, has imparted .'a. single-fact of new infor mation. The Final Decision IF the Athletic- Council decides on a new coach tonight, this decision Will' then have to pass the approval of Chancellor R. TV House, who puts education before professionalism in athletics. Then, even if the chancellor is pres sured into hiring a'big-time cor7:li, the Presi dent has his vote. Finally, the trustees will of ficially hire Carolina's football coach. It is evidentj then, that the line between the influential Athletic Council and the new coach is a long o"e. As Council member Gra cly Pritchard put it yesterday: " The Athletic Council is fooniuit on the bottom of the stairs that lead to the trustees."

Jim Chamblee Charlie Daniel " A FORD coupe bearing a Caro lina "sticker eased up to the po lice station, and a tuxedoed un dergraduate went inside. He reported that his sport coat had been stolen from his car, while his date sat patiently in the -front seat. .This was about midnight, ano the quiet after the Duke football storm settled uneasily on the village. Aside from a few drunks the police were having a quiet evening of it. " The special officer guarding Graham Memorial and More head's hulking Planetarium was bored, and so was 17 INSIDE THE tar -He el Sand wich Shop, dozens of vapid look ing young men in gray flannel suits sat fn booths talking to their drawly, dates. , .' , . . The right window of the shop had a breezy cavity in it, so the warm hot dog went down com fortably, i v This was one of the weekends during which the; so-called Caro lina gentleman let go and en joyed himself. The imports, co eds from other schools, fluffed about campus looking more at tractive than they ever had or" ever would look again , ' But what do they, all sit in the booths and talk of in the' late Sa turday hours of these weekends? I wondered, so I listened. And the Carolina conversation was mostly, as dull as students accuse their prof essors of being. An occasional open, ' hardy .SdUthern laugh, talk of other weekends, cars, foods these were the topics. First they were lightly brushed over between foiotball plays, warmed up to duririg cocktails and supper later, and by now being w armed over to pad out the evening's end. FRANKLIN STREET, glowing with electric Christmas candles, was quiet, too.. But two tipsy gen tlemen broke the silence in front of Battle Dorm. :.. ls . . "They cpuldnt do that to you in Washington. I'll tell you that," said one in a clipped Yankee ac cent.' . "Well, they sure as" hell can do it here. The cops can kick you out when they want," opined his partner. "You know, I've got to go tell that lousy cop what I think of him,"said the first, as he mouni ed the hood of a parked car and began dancing on it. The other boy climed up on the hood, and, after a brief not-so-soft shoe, both got inside and drove down the street slowly. BLUE RAMS peered, down from the walls of Harry's Cafe, but I seemed to be the only cus tomer; returning he glances. A few couples wandered in for coffee, and a give-'em-hell juke box roared forth with some of the current noise. Still, all was pretty quiet for the night after Jhe Duke game. It was about one, and getting away from the juke box was soothing. . A CROWD and two police cars had replaced the two drunks in front of Battle Dorm. "They just pulled away his , car," sonif one offered helpfully. "Anybody hurt?" "No, the two are right here." was cracked "to hell," as officer The small park in the street put it, and the two pavement busters climbed slowly into the police car's back seat. The cops gently scratched off, and the crowd went home to sleep. :f.? -'v; :-'' ' '.:;" 4 - :'- 4 V s if " -l" ' . i : ii 3. i i, -.- H... i ' -: . ' iriZzrrr -M: .

I wondered what hfe and his friends (if any) had seen of the Dook Game? l;Me," The Horse meed ungramatically, "I saw most of the game. But my immediate friends saw a lot more, if vicariously, than I did." '..;., ou? so? . ; . "Tiiis tycoon character," The Horse offered, whb is either my wife's nephew of my nephew's wife, de- rnding on. what you are looking at at the time, -and always am, started acting like a navigator I1 had during War Ptui (as differentiated from War Won-) He did indeedy. He was looking back the whole St" - - - game. I thought if there was one thing worse than' being an astrocloming sky-gazer, it. was being one' for The Horse. My experience was that navigators characteristically expected the worst, and The Horse's own navigators got the worst. , " ,"I concede I had more time upside down than right side up," The Horse shrugged a calloused, stern, "but then I was herding B-Twenty Fours about. Even their original designer didn't know which was up, in them. That airplane was nearly as fanciful as was our navigator's idea of where it was at any given time. Truly, we were segregated so far as facts were concerned." Speaking of segregated what did The Horse think of Gov Mar Griffin's (Georgia) Voluntary Se gregation plea for the Rambling Wreckers versus the Pitt Panthers, in the Sugar Bowl? "Trickle-down Cultoor," The Horse deemed the Craker's crack about melanin granulated peoples. "We thought of it first right here in Tarheelia. Yup. We even do Television shows about it and one of the handsome things about Voluntary Segrega- tion is, you don't have io look and listen to the program: all . you have to do is twist the dial ancf seek an equally repulsive other program, Black, Brown or white, if such exists, which is debatable." I wondered if The Horse had an idea how Vol untary Segregation would work on the football field? "Simple," he tossed off, "and ideal. The teams agree, at the gametime kickoff, to respect this great dogma of Make Believe. The Pitt back with those very reprehensible concentrations of melanin gran ules, in his pigmentation, will receive the ball now and again. The Rambling Wreckers of Georgia Teen ers will, as invited by our cultoored Marshall Field iari, if' not 'Chesterfieldian, gubernatorial gandydan cer, ignore the Full-Black as he races by the Half Blacks for the score." Why, this was silly, silly, silly. It was conceivable that Pitt, under such conditions, could score 'hun dreds bf points, t. ; "NA," ! The Horse nahhed me. "Under our Cul toored Voluntary Segregation Rules, the Pittsburgh haifbfacks wilf'enjoy the same studied indifference on the parts .of the Pitt full-blacks when the Ram' bier half-))iacks gd by. This way, a good big' score is assured, and who knows but that some honest touchdown may win the game without Fven the. help of the Four Blind Mice. Or is it five officials they have now?" ' ' But wjiat of The Horse's back-gazing nefoo at the Dook game? " V "It seems," The Horse said, "Big Jim Tatum was there in our section, looking no dumber, but cer tainly no brighter, than an All-Amerk is supposed to look. So my nefoo watched Jim instead of the game, and if his studies rewarded him, it was not visible in his or in Big Jim's expressions, if any. If Big Jimjis not a Stoic, I hope to Cynic, hordy-hor. I wondered had The Horse heard that a Stoic was i .what brought babies, and a Cynic was what they washed the. baby in? I think my scars (hoof-marks) may eventually disappear 7. .'

Doris Fleeson CHICAGO - The Republican National Committee is beating the drums here for ah Eisenhower Nixon ticket as if the President's heart attack had , never occured. The isolation of other candi dates is complete. No risks are admitted, so doubts are allowed. The gospel as expounded by Chairman Leonard Hall and Ad ministration spokesmen, is that the President, if he recovers his health as he seems to be doing, is tthe indispensable man. One gets the impression that this doc trine is being beamed at the Ei senhowers fully as much as at' the public. ' . Hall argued to reporters that the President could campaign ex clusively by television and so avoid the rigours of the old type of personal campaign. A fewv minutes late r he was saying that there was no substitute for the-old-fashioned stfoe leather polit icking ih the precincts. Hall is, of course, exempting his candidate for President, from all the bid rules and customs. The chairman is hot giving the committee members miieh chance to debate with him In" private over his bland assumption. He said that he would report on his visit to the President at a public meeting of the committee, which will be held Thursday when he would say all he had to say about it. 7 .7 . : - , That meeting will be brief, a short speech and lunch will follow and then adjournment. The whole session f here is being held to 36 hours. ; , ;.7. A few Old Guard committee men are grumbling in dusty cor ners about Hall's steamroller but the vast majority .make no com plaint. They are either able "to believe that Hall's course is Wise and right or that "alternatives are too terrible to contemplate. Few will even discuss the ques tion of whether the public in evitably will re-elect Eisenhower at nearly ' 65 with a heart condi tion and a Vice-President widely disapproved -of outside" the party and not universally admired in it. There are a brave few; who do admit it's a point, but never theless pooh-pooh it. 7 7 .' In his foreign policy address to the chairman's dinner, TJ..N7Am bassador Lodge made a powerful effort to build the concept of President Eisenhower as the man above ' party who can keep the ' peace. His temperately reasoned defense of the Eisenhower leader ship in this field was a million light-miles removed from the GOP platform on foreign affairs shaped in the. same hotel;' Jhree , years ago. ;7 7 As the President's prenconven tion campaign manager in 1052, Lodge argued almost exactly as he does "now. It won then and very plainly, he bVopes and be lieves it will again: " " To this end no flaw was ad mitted in the worla situation, an -Gov. Aocges - Willfem D. iuntGii Jr. nip A & T Register (When Governor Luther Hodges mvrpronenmced the name of the Negro race "Nigra," he saidat a speech before an A & T Col lege audience, one of the loudest controversies in the state teas set off... , - .. Ithe Governor's diction error provoked snickers from students. The college formally apologized, and Hodges answered ivith a curt note. The fight ivas on, and let ters to state .newspapers haven't stopped coming since. (The JqlUnoing is reprinted from, the A & T College student paper, The Register, and is writ ten by the editdri Wiiiliam D. Mason Jr. It gives the student side of this controversy, Editors) The "incident" 'which occurred during bur recent Founders' Day exercises has been the subject of many discussions on the campus and elsewhere. The press, both local and national, has presented and reviewed the issue from mul- ti-varied aspects. This writer, however, feels that an accurate account of what happened and the factors,' cause and effect, bearing on the incident have yet to be presented. CAUSE The interruption of Governor Hodges' discourse can not be truly called spontaneous. On" the other hand, it did not come of formal planning. Most of the peo pie present had heard or were aware of the context and presen tation of Governor II o d g es ' speech this summer, on volun tary segregation. They didn't like it.. ' -.. Also to be considered are the Emmett Till case and the "South Carolina Squeeze" which add to the Negro discontentment with the present Southern picture. This unrest manifested itself earlier this school term, when a segre gated "outhouse," built by a pipe laying firm which was working on the campus was burned myster iously. Therfore the murmur which arose during the Governor's ' speech was prompted, hot only by his idea and pronunciation, but ' by a sum of other things as well. : Unfortunately, . the Governor threw gasoline on smoldering embers. -. - 1 7 POLITICAL , ? . The Governor must have been cognizant of the Negro sentiment toward his plan. Why, in view of . this fact, did he prepare a speech which might be unfavorably ac cepted here? '..This is perhaps the answer: Up on ending his speech, had he been warmly applauded, he might have later announced the acceptance of his plan by A&T students. That would have been a feather in his cap. As it stands, he has received much free publicity and become the champion of pro-segregationists. COURTESY Displays of poor social behav ior can not be justified, no mat ter what the provacation. What has happened isi in many r ways, detrimental to A&T and our race. In the future, let us hope that ex pressions of displeasure, if any, will be more subtle and in better taste. a&t; The friction between students and administration can readily be alleviated. The trouble here stems from a poor communication's sys tem between the student body and the administration. An uninform-' ed student body can not be ex pected to understand and sup port administrative policies. Con versly, the administration can not act upon student 'problems of which it is hot aware. Closer harmony of the student body and the administration would be realized if . . . the stu dent council were given a faculty advisor and a more respected voice, the REGISTER were ac corded . more editorial freedom, and presidential, addresses to the student body were more frequent. attitude also taken by Hall. Their cheerful ' views of world affairs are being rather generally con tradicted by the press, radio and magazines but . it seems to have no effect on them. The newsstands downstairs, for example, are prominently dis playing the conservative U. S. News and World Report which asserts in its lead article that "the Russians were winning four years ago, are doing even belter now." It is, the magazine says, World War in, Russian style. TUESDAYlt...
