IAG? TWO "
THE DAILY TAR HEEL
Art, Philanthropy An
A AAysferious Stranger
The questions of what tonsti-.
tutes art and what constitutes
pnjlantluopy hae been much dis
cussed hv scholars for 'as lonu as
the two instittitions have existed.
Now a new question begins to
arise. Where shall the twain meet?
The much-ridiculed but stately
Morehead Patterson Bell Tower is
certainly product of philan
thtopy. And. in spite of the criti
cism which it lias drawn ("lour
leet higher than Duke Chapel just
to be four feet higher than Duke
chapel." for example") it does add
something to the campus.
Occasionally 'one c an depend on
its hourly gong to be a minute or.
two ahead of South Building's
durable bell. If architecture is
a tield of art, and well it should k
be, and the tower is definitely
architecture, then the tower is an
example of artistic endeavor.
The twain have met on one
count.
Next c ame the Morehead Plane
tarium. Again it is r,n example ol
philanthropy 'at work. As a build
ing it qualifies as art oii the same
counts as the bell tower. It, too,
has diawn criticism from all
joints.
It has proven its worth in at
leat retracting mobs of school
children to the campus- Fromi
these mobs will no doubt' come the
campus leaders of tomorrow.
The interior of this fine struc
ture reportedly contains art, as it
does.
In the north wing of the build
ing is a display commemorating
the 10th anniversary of the Dept.
of City and Regional Planning.
This exhibit was planner and
built by students of the dept. Its
topic is modern, and the exhibit
follows this line. The manner of
presentation is open and pleasant
to follow. Nothing is wanting
here.
On the other side of the ro
tunda is an exhibit of art pre
sented the way one usually ex
pects to fini'I exhibits of art.
In the rotunda itself a circle of
portraits hang around the wall. It
looks like art and the stars are
all one big happy family at Caro
lina, with big poppa philan
thropy paying the way.
The third gift to the campus
begins to stretch a point- Already
the long stylus of a gargantuan
sundirvl is turning its nose up at
the sky. This huge chunk of steel
and concrete is already drawing
the attack of the campus wits and
cynics.
Obviously philanthropy is the
mother of this sundial, but who
will admit being the father? The
architects have been singularly
quiet, and that steel beam is not
j product of sculpture.
Philanthropy, what has . Mr.
Morehead done to you?
Need: Reasonableness'
The Southland seems to We hav
ing diflicultv moving ahead on its
own two feet. As jolting as the
Supreme Court's original decision
concerning desegregation was to
many Southern minds, it should
notjiave thrown Dixie into her
present running battles with the
XAAC1. the nation's courts and
progress.
Recently, the Vv.ly reason the
South has progressed at all has
been because agitation groups and
court orders have been nipping
at her heels.
In V iuia interposition was
dug cat of forgotten history books
and put to use. In Georgia it was
the threat of abolishing the
schools North Carolina has come
p with a suggestion for volun
tary segregation, and Alabama
white students threatened extreme
violence to retain their "suprem-
But this frantic grasping for
siraws has got Dixie and the rest
ot the United States nothing but
poor publicity.- It is about time
that the men in positions of au
thority realie that the only thing
blind defiance gains is unpleasant
pressure from agitation groups
and adverse court orders.
The latest of these court orders
outlawed segregation on passen
ger busses. Once again the "nine
old men" in Washington have
had to plant a good, solid kick to
make the South progress. And,
true to form, the Soifth has re
sisted with cries of usurped
"rights.'
Big men in the South do not
realize that in following the
court's order they will not be
knuckling under to anybody. That
the situation has" progressed so far
as to become a c ourt Order is, in
itself, unfortunate. As for cries of
violation of state and muicipal
rights: Those rights are for all
citizens. That it is 'unconstitu
tional to deny a group citizenship
was- established long ago.
Perhaps the wisest and strongest
voice of all has come from the
lealer of the Birmingham bus
boycott when he urged "calm rea
sonableness" in reaction to the
latest decision.

American women are really go
ing places, at least 15,000 of them
would like to- That was the con
clusion of a recent poll taken by
the YWCA: The Y asked 15,253
girls in 33 states what their great-.
' est desire was.
Actually the thought of condi
tions" if a good fairy came along
and granted these 15.000 young
ladies their wish travel is alarm
ing. Imagine the chaos when the
girls got home. Kach would be
trying to tell all the others about
her trip. ...
Phones would be tied up for
days. Women's club1 speakers
wouldn't be able to get time on
the programs of women's clubs
because the agendas would be
packed with items HkTe "Helen
McGibbleschmidt's trip to Tower
Tonsillitis (with slides)."
And those four girls w ho wanted
to go to outer space. Is space travel
ready for women drivers? Between
meteors and the traveling Ameri
can female. Buck Rogers won't
have a chance.
But these would be only minor
byproducts of such a mass migra
tion. Consider what would happen
at home during all this traveling:
Husbands, starving to death and
boy friends discovering the girls
whose greatest wish wasn't travel.
We don't want to discourage
jiry godmothers, but this looks
. ijke one mass wish -that had bet
ter remain a wish-

Who will be in the student gov
renment driver's seat next year?
.Will it be the Student Party,
the -University Party or the of
ficialdom in SoXith Building?
It appears, at this stage of the
game, that the last is definitely
in the lead.
Dean Fred Weaver turned on
the ignition with an ultimatum
to new President Bob Young re
cently. According to Young, he has his
foot poised above the accelerator
and plans to stomp it to the floor
come May 1.
That is to say, Weaver offi
cially served intention of admin
istrative intervention and action
if student government doesn't
demonstrate some concrete ac
tion toward solution of the park
ing problem by May 1.
It's up to Young now.
I President Don Fowler demon
strated a sincere desire to solve
the traffic problem when he ap
pointed officials to the Traffic
Committee. Other than this, the
Fowler regime has failed com
pletely to offer a workable so
lution. Even this weak attempt to
solve the problem was defeated,
for all practical purposes by stu
dent lawmakers.
Solons stamped approval on
the Traffic Committee's bylaws,
but in selection of jurisdictional
limits, they arrived at eight vi
olations which must be commit
ted before the Committee may
even take action.
In other words, a student must
be convicted for seven violations
per semester before the commit
tee can sink its teeth into the
problem.
This, in effect, has destroyed
the effectiveness of the commit
tee. In effect, it has destroyed
the entire plan, the effectiveness
of which was open to question
from the beginning.
Thus student government has
exhibited a failure which may
necessitate administrative inter
vention. This is the first crack toward a
complete crumbling of student
autonomy. - - - .
President Fowler, with the
most sincere intentions in the
world, ." pulled the emergency
brake on " student government
when he failed to solve the park
ing problem.
Dean Weaver has release it
and is in preparatory stages to
ward assuming the driver's seat.
It's up to you, Young.
Candidate Jim Exum proposed '
a solution which should be im
plemented by the faithful few in
student government:
(1) Procurement of a percent
age of fines from traffic regula
tion violations. ,
(2) Utilization of these fines to
build parking lots on several
available sites on campus.
.If it is humanly possible to
secure any portion of fines from
Chapel Hill police, this should be
done.
If not, an assessment of car
owners should be tried.
Sure, they'd be reluctant to
give. But if they were presented ,
the inevitable alternatives of los
ing the right to keep a car on
campus, or shelling out a buck or-
two to build lots, there is 'a
strong possibility they'd see the ..

PRESIDENT YOUNG - PART 2:
Vending
BobYbung
(Here is' the second instal
ment of President Young's,, in-
. aug'uration address, given to k
the' student LeguTatuw and
the student body last iveek.)
First is the matter of vending
machines in dormitories. I would
like to' quote a paragraph from
the Visiting Committee's report
to the-Board of Trustees:
"In almost every dormitory
there are vending machines for
drinks and crackers, the profits
from which are put into a schol
arship fund. It has been proposed
that cigaret vending machines be
placed in . the dormitories, with
the profits to be. used by thef In
terdormitory Council to maintain
and further equip the recreation
rooms. . ' .
"It is recommended that ac
tion along this line be studied
Machines, Cooperation
and further recommendations
made."
With this encouragement from
the Visiting Committee) I feel
that we should demonstrate to
them our interest and concern
in this matter. Working with the
IDC, I plan to have a committee
study the situations immediately
and be .prepared to urge the trus
tees to let us install these" ma
chines as soon as possible.
This is a matter which I feel
will benefit all dormitory resi
dents because it will increase so
cial funds if we can present a
satisfactory plan to the trustees.
Second is the area of coopera
tion with the University admin
istration and facultj'. I have been
told that student representation
will be most welcome in prac
ticaally any committee concern
ing student life.
Among these are calendar,
buildings and grounds and class
attendance committees. I plan
to appoint, within the next week
(this week), definite students
who will cooperate, consult and
cordinate student affairs' and
problems with administration
committees. . " '
There are two specific pro
posals which I hope these rep
resentatives can accomplish. One
is to get classes excused for
the homecoming football game
next fall.
If this is feasible, and the ad
ministration is agreeable, I feel
that it will increase school spir
it and the general atmosphere
surrounding this occasion.
Second, I hope they will be
able to establish reading day be
tween the last day of classes and
the first day of final exams. If it
is at all possible to institute this
next year, I feel that it would be
a tremendous benefit to every
one. '
