page rvro THE DAILY TAB HEEL 0. s INl SILENCE AT UNC: CourageHonor Academic Freedom Week? was just one of (hose things that happened, on the. spur, of the moment. 1 just, -wasn't thinking. Student Louis Wood biny, charged with malicious damage to public property. Student WWoclbeny must have been correct when lie told a re porter he "just wasn't thinking." Any student who was part of a poiip which removed from a po lice station a revolver, part of a fingerprinting' set. fountain pen desk sets, traffic tickets and pay ment notices, ripped out tele phone wires and set fire to a waste-' basket "just wasn't thinking." Put we doubt if "it was just one of those things that happened on the spin- of the moment." When one refers to the "spur of the moment," he is speaking, rather light-heartedly of some thing he did on t lie slightest no tion. If the members of the Ugly Club who descended upon the Po lice Dept. Monday night were liiiluheaiied about their "raid," they should be examined psycho loQ.ii ally It nas rejKjited yesterday that Wocd berry turned himself in to police early in the day. The rest of the Tgly Club's' raiders, he told polite, would be: down in the afternoon to admit their crimes. The others didn't show. They didn't show, it was re ported, because their lawyer, re tained this week, rdvised them to wait until the police came after them. We have no quarrel with the attorney who advised the students. As far as we know, his legal ad vice is entirely in good taste. But the students involved, in the Monday night raid who are stay ing away from the inevitable war rants of the law are behaving like cowards. Student Woodberrv had the jruts to go to live police and give himself up. His "friends" are showing their lack of guts in re fusing to admit their guilt and to take their punishment.. If Woodben y goes on trial alone for malicious damage to public property hq will represent r-!l thp University student in volved in the crime. If those ; other students who participated in the raid turn themselves in, the court will decide the innocence or guilt of everyone involved. Let us hope that those students, who aren't turning themselves in will purge their souls of coward ice, demonstrate the guts they used in pulling Chief Cloan's telephone wires off the wall, and take a walk down to the police station- Gracious Liying: For a minute there we thought the Mouza would be no, more. That's what we reported oji this page Tuesday morning But, thank goodness, the venerable late-at-night coffee-and-pie. dis pensary will live for a long time. Secretary-Treasurer, J. D. Gallo way, of the corporation which owns the all-night restaurant, re ports the Mouza will remaiii for "more than five years. There are no definite plans to tear doWn the Mouza," he said. ' , . His statement replaced reports that John Scott Trotter's nek ho tel would lay. low the restaurant. We heave a sign o relief. Gra cious Living in Chapel Hill will go on, now, 'with help from the Mouza, for a good five years longer. it's Wot AH Chest Size Acting Dean of .Women Isabelle MacLeod, in objecting to Memo rial Hall's use for the 1956 Miss Chapel Hill -'Beauty Pageant, is very, very far off base. Miss MacLeod gave as her rea son for the objection the fact that the University's auditorium the only one of large capacity in Cha pef Hill would "look like the LTniversity was sponsoring" the pageant. - Other observers say Miss Mac Leod's objection came after she was informed coed entrants in the pageant would wear bathing suits in part of the competition. This, lelt the clean of women's office, was bad. And here is where the acting dean of women stepped off base. The casy-to-ar rive-at implication that a beauty contest is a vulgar display of body may hold true for some beauty contests, but not for the Miss Chapel Hill pageant, which lcacli to the Miss -America contest. ' Contestants here, and every where else in the country, are The Daily Tar Heel The official student publication of tha Publications Board of the University of North Carolina, where it is published daily except Sunday, Monday and exam ination and vacation periods and sum mer terms.

Eleven out of the 12 contestants now en tered in the pageant are coeds, and sponsors of the event ; hope .more wijl sign up. A beauty pa geant is an event which appeals to ' many spectators students and townspeople. Win pot hold it in Memorial Hall, with its 1,800-seat capacity? v Instead, the acting dean of women's objection has moved the pageant from Memorial Hall to Chapel Hill High School, a- more comfortably but much smaller auditorium. - , The sponsors of the pageant, the Chapel Hill Jaycees, have worked many months on this project. They proceeded with plans for the May 2 and 3 pageant believing that Memorial Hall would be irsed. They, as always, planned a high-quality, ultra clean pageant tp select the young woman to-represent Chapel Hill and the University in statewide finals this summer. We urge every student to at ' tend the pageant, and we urge wholesome, All-American-lookm coeds to enter the competition- Jim Creighton Academic Freedom Week has come and gone here at Carolina with nothing more that I know of than a 9-inch article in The ' D,aily Tar Heel. . , To be sure, the UNC student body has less cause than most to be concerned, for as it was pointed out in The Daily Tar Heel, there is less to be feared on the, UNC can pus than at many universities by the person who insists on expressing what , to him is truth. However , this is an issue which touches into the life of every student in more places than- just the campus. If we should look back through the. newspapers of the past few years, we could find too many instances . of persecution and prosecution of the victini who -dared to exercise his right to freedom of expression, and freedom of thoght. Today, per haps I should say "right to freedom'--'.- Jim-Turner, national vice-president of student affairs of the National Students' Assn., told trie' he was very sorry to see Academic Freedom Week passed over so lightly on campus. Jim explained that too, many people seem to be completely unaware that anything could threaten these freedoms which have been preached at them since the first grade. , ' Not only is there something whichl could threaten these free doms, there is something which is threatening them. The very organization which should be the protector of these freedoms is the usurper of them. The government "of the peo ple, by the people and for the people" is telling the people what to read, telling the teach !ers what to teach, punishing the people for what they say and for whom they choose to be . their associates. t ' ' If ,ye Jqqk back through the newspapers as I suggested, we could compose a list of instances which exemplify what I mean when I speak of the usurping of our academic freedoms: Burning of books, persecuting of persons for affiliations with the Commu nist Party, many of whom have had little or no association with the communists; loyalty oaths; Oil - Ken Clark (Writer Clark is a junior majoring in advertising viho ' is. .married, owns his oum car, and dares anybody to try to . take it away from him. Below he offers some ideas on the car problem.) Rumors have reached this writer that a parking problem , exists at Carolina. This intrigues me. We. have oodles and oodles of future traffic managers, city managers, transportation experts and what not but we have a parking problem. . It is becoming evident that these potential experts are too FBI plants to spy on the people and what they say, read and be lieve, and an infinite number of other charges. v Perhaps the instigators of this policy of. suppression that is, suppression, of the free mind believe it is best for the securi ty of our country, but I insist that truth has nothing to fear from lies, . If the government or the Unit ed States is just to its citizens, it lias nothing to fear from, a to talitarian government. By re stricting freedom of expression, the government lays itself open, in my mind, to suspicion from the people. As I said, we at Carolina are less concerned with this "totali tarian trend," as' Jim Turner called it, because we cannot find it on our campus. Many professors have come here ac cepting cuts in salary in order that they might have the right to. teach the trutn. Nevertheless, it is 'a grave issue whfch con cerns them deeply. Let us hope that next year aca-, demic freedom will not take such an insignificant role that it will be again ignored. I am afraid that the silence on this campus during Academic Free dom Week- allowed one more stone to fall on the wall of in difference. The wall which mut be torn down if any freedom is to persist among the. peoples of the world.

Okay? Quiet, everybody! Ah, the waves are coming through. Quick, pencil and paper Here come some solutions. , (1) We could add a sums of $150 to the tuition of air stu dents with cars. Said students could park on campus, get a ticket and send it to the student body treasurer. He cduld pay the ticket and subtract $1 from student's fund. (But this would eliminate the poor student. That's out.) ' ' . (2) Buy everybody a surplus Sherman tank,' let 'em loose and run like mad. (Has possibilities, but noise factor might be a draw back.) (3) Tear down South Build ing and put a parking lot where Set up curb-service (If we did could we Y-Court is. system for coffee. that, though; where pay our tuition?). (4) Prohibit students from keeping 'cars. (But daddy, hov can I get to Greensboro?) ' C5) Prohibit treshmen from keeping cars. (You do, and I'll, go to Duke!) ; (6) Eliminate parking tickets. (What? And have the town of Chapel Hill go bankrupt?) (7) Get drunk. (Good idea, but it doesn't get cars parked.) (8) Ask students to leave cars parked off campus and walk to class. (Splendid if we just had room for everybody to live with in 18 miles of Chapel Hill.) . (9) Present the problem to the student Legislature. (Sorryt no elections coming up so why should they work?) (10) Get drunk. (Yo, ho, ho, and on to the Goody Shop!) Well, our collective heads haven't accomplished too much. So please, oh please won't some of you birds who study this type of stuff come on out and give us a quick little-solution? Li,!.
