O
Political Candi
oth Breeds Both Bad
Y don't know vl i i h is worse
a political t andidate who stomps
funics arid raises all kinds ol
sand and savs nothing in the pro
t ess, or the candidate who pist
keeps tpiiet and says equally noth
ing. There was evidence of both
kind ocr the weekend.
Ore kind the stomping, fum
ing kind was evidenced by the
name-calling that went on in Ra
lciu'i last week between candidate
W. V.. Debnant and incumbent
Kep. Harold I), .ooley, both run
ning for the Democratic nomina
tion for House of Representatives.
IJoth Debnam and Coo ley raised
j 1 1 1 1 c a )i;4 ruckus, but neither
.howed any sii;ns of leadership.
Cooley's speec!i in the Wake Coun
ts Courthouse was one big name
calliitg. as was Debnam's television
bro: -'.least the same night,
Neither man joke about Amer
ica's place in the rapidly-changing
wojhl: neither man talked about
the Soli th's biggest problem, in
tergi at ion.segreiation, in a calm
oice. fiee of hysteria and other
elem-iit calculated to bring about
false emotion in the audience.
f
Neither man rose verv high above
the level of name-caller.
Friday night in Chapel Hill,
however, the other type of politic
ian was shown. The Chapel Hill
League of Women Voters held its
"meet the candidates' night, with
Orange County campaigners for
state and federal offices-addressing
the audience for three minutes
each. Almost every candidate, in
cluding those for the Sivth District
Congressional seat, county com
missioners, state representative,
state .senator and county Hoard of
F.ducation, was there.
And they said practically "noth-
usr about all the candidates
promised to work , for better
sc hools. One nearly promised his
faithfulness to God, motherhood
and the country's welfare.
Most" of the candidates Friday
night were either too scared to ex
press their : t views on anything
weighty or -controversial, or they
just didn't have any opinions on
such matters. Perhaps, in this age
of fear, it is better not to have
opinions.
Which candidate is betterthe
one who raises jbe devil while say
ing nothing, or .the one who says
nothings-it all? It isn't a question
of which is better. Hoth are bad.

If von ever dash out of the Faig-
ci
lish Department's Bingham Hall
(north door, first floor), already
late for your next class, you prob
ably come in violent contact with
the rubber doormat that lies wait-
jug.
The mat invariably lies on the
second step from the bottom; half
of it hangs over into thin air, hop
ing a student foot will come to rc,st
on it, hoping the student will break
his neck.
.In the name of Gracious Living
in Chapel Hill, let us bolt the mat
to the steps, before one of our
number is taken by this fiend.

Tae I'niversitv 's trustees were

The trustee committee investi

ing in R. ieigh. opened the floor
to iiu :e CNC students, several
from X. C. State College and one

boro. The trustees didn't just stop
after heating the students' general
outline for the new presidency:
PETITE MUSICALE:
They asked questions of just about
all the students there.
".This is a good sign. For, as we
have said before, the trustees are
not compelled to, 'consult the stu
dents on the new president; their
invitation for student thought on
the matter was a sign that the com
mittee though the students should
have their say.
That kind of trustee leadership
is good for the students and, thus,
good for the Universitv.

On February 7, 1786, Mozart's tiny
opera, "The Impresario," was first per
formed in the Sebonbrunn Palace at a
garden party given by the Emperor
Joseph' II. Sunday evening, in the
lounge of Graham Memorial, the. same
work was heard again.
Even though the work was commiss
ioned as, an innocuous and incidental
ornament to a fashionable celebration,
it is the only' thing that has endured
since that evening. Why?
Its subject is timeless the world of
the theater and its artists. Its characters
are ageless vanity-ridden sopranos,
harassed directors and culture-smitten
bourgrois. Its music is as youthful and
ebullient as the -moment Mozart deliver
ed it to his patron.
The composition is a rich satire. Into
some 40 minutes Mozart crowded some
sharp comments on the musical foibles
of his time and of all time, the labored
and melodramatic arias of hii" prede
cessors and rivals, the inherent exhibi
tionalism of musicians, the cheap power
of flattery, the hypocrisy of tempera
ment and the complete neglect of the
humble soul who made it all possible,
the composer. ;
The intimate nature of the seating in
the lounge Sunday evening suited admir
able this little chamber opera. All the
performers, both those who sang and
those who spoke, were a delight.
Ethel Casey as Madame Goldentrill,
Bea Allston as Madame Siverpeal, Rob
ert Andrews, who both sang the role
of Mr. Angel and directed the perform
ance, Russell Link as Mr. Bluff and John
Liidwig as Mr. Scruples projected the
satiric humor of the dialogue and the
mUsie with undeniable charm.
Joel Chadabe was the accompanist
and in that capacity delivered a lively
version of the opera's best-known music,,
the overture.

And all of my Suth'n bruthers:
Fellers, they's a real shahp
furriner amongst us. He hails
f'm Sh'cago, you know, the land
uv Linckun. His name's Gerber,
Marvin G. Gerber, and he's so.
smaht that he'en mingle with
one'r two of our lib'rals an'

wise that's the idee I got out'a

Now fellers, you take a man

b'leeve whut he sez, 'cawse he's
pow'ful smaht an you cain't out
do :'im no mattuh whut.
Now lemme tell you whut'ee
.sed. He sed, "All one hears down
here is malicious remarks about
the Negro. But the facts are
shunned, that the South's pros
perity 'is dependent upon' the
Negro." .
You fellers heah that? All'uv
you go right now an' wash yo'
faces an' quit bein' so onery. An'
c'mon all you black folks, hunch
up yo' backs, I'm stahvin t'death.
Heah's sump'n else that feller
sed. He sed, "I hope that God
plays a great , trick on all of us
and makes all people in the next
life one color black."
Sum've you , fellers tell now,
Iz'ee fur th'black folks'r agin'm?
He sho' did slam one on'm teah.
This feller Gerber went on
t'make a earth-shatterin' rev'la
tion, an' heah's sump'n you fel
lers've got to know Rusha, our
fued'n neighbors, s'gotta membuh
on th great bo'd uv d'rectuhs.
Theah's th' way this feller sed
'Npver MindI Think I Get The Idea'
"vt,- .. V - '
f fh
it, he sed,' 'Everything we do
here on earth will be returned
to us two-fold in the next life.
God is watching, and Russia is
watching too." Now whut d'you
s'pose, you reckon ole Stahleen
na-a-ah, thet feller done went
too fer. Ole Stahleen, he wuz'a
pow'ful feller, but'ee put 'iz

my heah-aftuh, spit'uv whut no
dam-yankee sez.
I reckon I'd ought'a stop with
thet, but I'll tell you one mo'
thing thet dam-yankee sed. He
sed, "I will be pleased to have
been here for these few short
months, if some day soon I can
pick up a Chicago -paper and see
peace in Dixie for once and, for

Now feller, f eveh they's

The Daily Tar Heel does not
print letters-to-the-editor that
are not signed or in good taste.
If the writers-to-the-editor wish,
their names will be withheld,
upon request. .
The newspaper is in possession
of one unsigned letter from a
student. It cannot print the let
ter unless the student furnishes
his name.
Editor:
Mr. Marvin Gerber, you do not
hail from Chicago, "The Land of
Lincoln," but from Chicago, "The
Land of Hypocrisy." You are
jubilant at the thought of return
ing to freedom and leaving be
hind the Southland where the
Negro groans in bondage.
It apparently has never oc
curred to you, in your eagerness
to attack the South, that your
own section of the country might
not be clothed .in the robe of
righteousness. You would un
doubtedly not believe southern
ers, who probably whip Negroes
every morning before breakfast,
but we will prove this point by
quoting from "The U. S. News
and World Report."
"As migrants pour into Negro
slums, Chicago's, officials are
struggling with mounting crime, a
serious health problem and big
relief rolls. Around the edges of
the expanding 'black belt' Neg
roes moving into white sections
are running into trouble -threats,
assaults, sometimes "even
bombings." ' : .. . 4
The same magazine has this
to say about Detroit, another city
in your section: '
"The tell about a Negro mov
ing into a predominantly white
section of northeast Detroit in
January. This man, they say, was
told immediately by white neigh
bors that he wasn't wanted there.
Then his garage was burned
down. And early in April he re
ported that he found one side of
his house soaked in fuel, with a
fire going."
This Mr. Gerber, smacks of
discrimination. And in your sec
tion, too.
Now, Mr. Gerber,' we expect
you to pack your bags and hurry
home to begin a crusade against
discrimination in your city and
section. We hope to pick up The
Daily Tar Heel soon and see
that there is peace in : Chicago
once and for all.

Of
A Resident
Reveals Unknown Facts
Editor:
As a member of Everett Dorm
itory and an interested viewer on
its doings in the 1955-56 intra
mural athletic race, I believe
that the truth should be made
known to your readers as to the
actual standings in the dormitory
division race.
There is no possible way for
Joyner to defeat Everett this
year. I "realize that the Intra
mural Dept. sends you its sheet 1
every day and that your editors
must take it for a fact. But cither
the Intramural Dept wishes to
hide the fact that Everett has
made a shambles, out of the race
already and there is actually lit
tle use in the rest of the dorms
even showing up, or else there is
a man from Joyner working for
the Intramural Dept. .
In either case, I repeat, there
is no possible way for Joyner to
win the dormitory division in
tramural title for 1955-56.
