The world situation changed, perhaps for the better, last
week.
At least there was less chance of immediate all-out war.
Countries were taking their troubles to the United Nations, and
the United Nations was doing something about them.
The two biggest trouble spots remained the Middle East and
Hungary. In both areas unexpected history has been made in the
past seven days.
Meanwhile, in the United States, expected history was being
made. Republican President Dwight Eisenhower and his Vice Presi
dent Richard Nixon were reelected to their positions overwhelm
ingly. The American people apparently were convinced that Ike
would maintain the "peace" and prosperity" that were his campaign
bywords. x
The Democrats, however, retained control of the House and
Senate. - '
THE WORLD
Herd's the way the Middle Eastern and Hungarian situations
shaped up, day by day:
SUNDAY In Hungary, the country which broke away from
Russian rule, Soviet troops had turned around and invaded again.
They upset the rebel government of Premier Imre Nagy.xinstaled
a pro-Moscow puppet government and slaughtered many thousands
oi patriotic Hungarians.
President Eisenhower called upon Russian Premier Nikolai
Bulganin to pull U.S.S.R. troops out of Hungary. U.S. Ambassador
PERSONALITY OF THE WEEK:
Politics & , Sales
Joan Moore
There's a traveling salesman in school who hates "petty poli
tics." He's Michael Weinman, chairman of the University Party.
He'll finish up his duties as UP chairman soon, after students
vote in a new Student Legislature.
The traveling salesman part comes during the summer. Wein
man had a traveling job one summer, then worked in a manu
facturing plan and in a retail store. He plans to Work in retailing
after graduation from the School of Business Administration.
Student politics are essential to Weinman, but he emphatically
declares that he hates "petty politics."
He says h?'s vitally interested in increasing the effective
ness of student government
aiid bettering campus condi
tions.
During his freshman year,
Weinman became affiliated
with the University Party,
"Since that time," he said, "I
wanted to be chairman of the
UP."( He was elected to the
chairmanship last spring. Also
in his freshman year, he en
gaged in lacro?".- d&voted time
to the Campus ChaU drive, and
was eo-ehairmn 'of the Gra
ham Memorial Dance Commit
tec.
The following fall, Wein
mar. v. on a seat in the Student
Lieyislature. He wras an orienta
tion counseler, served on the
Elections Board, and gave ad
ditional time to the University
Party when he became publici
ty chairman. Weinman also
took part in a Sound and Fury
production.
Concerning the legislature.
t-
Weinman said, "It has never
realized its full potential. Par
tisan feelings hurt the legislature and should be forgotten when
a bill is being voted upon."
During his junior year, the intelligence, humor and influence
of Weinman were again employed as his voice, once more echoed
through the legislative halls of New East." His responsibility in
the Student Legislature increased as he became floorleader, chair
man of the Rules Committee and chairman of the Appointments
Committee.
Last year Weinman, in the interest of decreasing the parking
problem, backed a bill which took cars away from freshmen and
sophomores. "Now," he said, "since there is money and available
space for parking lots, I hope that next year or the year after,
freshmen and sophomore cars may be returned to the campus."
Weinman was social chairman of his fraternity, Zeta Beta Tau,
and also a member of the Amphoterothen Society. This year, he
again took part in the orientation program. He.is still seated in
the Student Legislature and is a member of the Bipartisan Selec
tions Board.
Weinman believes that "the University Party has had its best
session in the legislature. , '
"Increased membership and changes in the rules have added
to the improvement of the party," he said.
Although Weinman has great respect for the pre'sident of the
student body, he hopes to see a UP candidate regain this position
at election time.
When asked what he liked most about. Chapel Hill, Weinman
smiled and answered promptly, "Chapel Hill!" He later added, "I
think it's the greatest place in the world."
According to Weinman, "extra-curricu4ar activities are tre
mendous. They provide a wonderful means of ' expression for stu
dents. I wouldn't have gotten a tenth as much out of my life at
Carolina without them."

Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. assailed the Russians for their "wholesale
brutality" in Hungary. Rut the Russians kept on shooting Hun'-
garians, and Hungarian rebel diehards kept on sniping at Russian
soldiers who came to cut short their freedom.
In the .Middle East, it appeared the worst was over. United
Nations Secretary General Dag Hammarskiold turned in a recom
mendation for an international police force in the Mideast, where
British, French and Israeli forces were battling Arab troops.
Hammarskjold's report called for the force to be commanded by
officers from any armies except those of the great powers in
other words, United States and Russia. - '
Britain and France, who invaded the Suez Canal area after
Israel dug deep into Arab territory, continued their invasions.
(British Prime Minister Sir Anthony Eden, in a speech the
previous Saturday, had explained his country and France entered
the Middle Eastern battle to keep the- entire area from being
inflamed with war. Sir Winston Churchill, the former prime minis
ter, backed Sir Anthony up.)
:
MONDAY The Middle East: Russia dropped a bombshell.
The U.S.S.R., in messages to President Eisenhower, Britain and
France, said it was prepared to use force to bring about' an end
to Anglo-French action in Egypt. Prime Minister Sir Anthony Eden
was told:
"If rocket weapons were used against England, you would
call it a barbarous action. But what is the difference between,
such an attack and the attack by Britain and France on un
prepared Egypt?"
Interpreting The Campus News:
Misinformation In Legislature
Ray Linker
Things were really popping in
the. Student Legislature this
week.
And it was all over a bill to
appropriate $400 to The Daily
Tar Heel "to acquire the services
of The Associated Press' nation
al and "international news ser
vice." University Party Chairman
Mike Weinman, who introduced
the bill last week, called it "one
of the best ever introduced in
the legislature." He didn't say
much Thursday night, but he did
n't have to.
During the two-hour session,
no less than seven students as
sumed the rostrum or spoke from
the floor in favor of the bill. No
more than three spoke against
the measure.
The first speaker who urged
passage of the bill. Daily Tar
' Heel Editor Fred Powledge, said
having the service would help
educate, create interest, and en
able the students to interpret the
news better.
While at the rostrum, Pow
ledge read a message from News
And Observer Editor Jonathan
Daniels which favored having
the wire.
Jim Montieth, a member of
the UP, a member of the Phi,
and a former legislator, was al
lowed to speak. He talked down
to the legislators, quoted poetry
and the Bible, and urged the
solons to "have vision."
He challenged them not to
vote as members of the two po
litical parties, saying there was
a war going on of self-interests
versus interests of the whole
campus. -
Before he finished, Montieth
told the body they would be cen
sured for it by the student body
if they didn't pass the bill.
UP floorleader Benny Thomas
told the legislature (perhaps un
knowingly) the same thing that
Powledge had told a meeting of
his staff a few hours before: that
the paper will continue to have
world news no matter what the
Student Legislature does, even
if it means staying up late every
night. Thomas didn't know how
right he was about the firm con
victions Editor Powledge has on
covering the globe.
Although the main argument
of the opposition seemed to be
that having world news would
cut out campus news, Powledge
showed them a typical paper in
which he said about 30 column
inches could be omitted without
affecting the campus news. His
point was pretty sound, consid
ering the articles he pointed out.
However, Student Partv mem
ber John Brooks accused the pao
er of not seekins out the news
and of not publishing what it
had.
Mr. Brooks is right about oe
thing, in oart at lst. That, is
about seeking out the ne,,r. No
matter how. hard you trv. I th'nk
you are going to have iust so
manv staffers. You, (or nerhaos
I hd better sav I. Mr. BrnoV;
cuild tak 30 average students
(if we could get that many stu
dents interested) and send them
out after stories, but, Mr. Brooks,
they could all come back with two
stories each and you still would
n't cover the campus.
My personal conviction, Mr.
Brooks, is that the campus can
never be covered completely I
don't think any person sitting
in the News Editor's desk will
ever get the feeling that he is
gathering all the news. It just
can't be done. True, there is room
for improvement, but the state
ment that we are "not seeking
out the news" is nothing more
than a lie.
. Brooks also said on the floor
of the legislature that last week
The Daily Tar Heel did not pub
lish a . notice, of the free movie
given by GMAB each week. If
he will take the time to open the
Nov. 2 issue (the date of the'
free flick) he will find on page
three, column seven, five and
one-half inches from the top of
the page, the story which proves
the statement by him to the leg
islators to be nothing more than
a lie.
Representative Brooks stated
on the floor of the legislature
that things he submitted were
not published. As News Editor,
I know of only one thing which
he, as co-chairman of the polls
committee of GMAB or in any
other capacity, turned in which
was not published. That was the
results of a poll taken after the
Daily Tar Heel ceased publica
tion last spring. This material
was "lost" by an irresponsible re
porter who is no longer with us.
Incidentally, I don't know, of
what significance a poll taken of"
those people here last year has
to do with those in school now
or of what value it is three or
four months after it is taken.
Bht, I concede this point to Mr.
Brooks. I only question the use
by him of the plurality of the
word "articles." I have seen on
ly the one.
Mr. Brooks stated that the in-,
ternational and national news was
not the most, important news to
the paper. Well, maybe Brooks'
world (perhaps till he is called
up for active duty) does not ex
tend beyond this campus, but I,
to use the words of bur esteemed
editor, "don't live in a campus
community any more."
Two other points
Brooks:
about Mr.
1. He said if The Daily Tar
Heel is "trying to compete with
other papers" by having world
news, it should be put on a sub
scription basis; and
2. He went so far as. to say no
one in his constituency was in
favor of having the world news.
Later when questioned he said he
only talked ta 40 people. Brooks'
district consists of. according to
the election laws, "Old East, Bat
tle - Vance - Pettigrew, Steele,
Whitehead, Memorial Hall and all
other University owned buildings
not mentioned in this bill."
Brooks can of course, because
there is no way of proving it (I
still have my notes) deny that
these were his exact words.
The .United States answered that the idea of Soviet interven
tion was "unthinkable." The United States will oppose the entry
of any other "new forces" in the Middle East except under United
Nations mandate, a White House statement said.
Israel announced she had accepted the UN ceasefire decision.
-
.- TUESDAY While Americans were voting for their President,
Britain and France seized the Suez Canal area and ordered their
troops to hold their fire but to remain in their present posi
tions. WEDNESDAY The Middle East: The United Nations voted
64-0 (with 12 abstentions) to send an international police force to
the Middle East, as suggested Sunday by Un Secretary General
Hammarskjold.
Israel announced she would bar "aforeign force, no matter
now called," from territory her troops then occupied. Arab forces
demanded withdrawal ef all attacking forces before the United
Nations police team arrived. Britain refused to move her troops.
The United States tightened all defenses and put Naval com
bat ships on 24-hour watch. Said Adm. Arthur Radford, chairman
of the Joint Chiefs of Staff:
"We do not want to be caught flat-footed and at the same
time we do not want to take any provocative actions which
would get us involved."
THURSDAY In Hungary, rebels and Communists alike were
faced with a famine. Rebels, even though they had virtually no
Members of the SP maintained
that they were speaking and vot
ing to their individual con
victions and not acording to par
ty wishes. Yet when the vote
came the legislature voted this
way:. 13 SP members against the
bill, five SP members for it; 14
members bf the UP for the bill,
none against it.
SP floorleader Jim Holmes
said he. "was speaking as an in
dividual,", and went on to say,
in essence, what his fellow party
members.had echoed: that "the
campus, news is no less import
ant than what is going on in
Hungary.','., ;
Holmes statement that "we
have to decide whether to have
, a paper for the campus or one
that will win prizes for covering
international news" was absolute
ly absurd.
And the gentleman who said
The Daily Tar Heel would have
to either be a campus paper of
an international paper, with no
splitting down the middle, could
n't be more incorrect.
Before ending, perhaps I had
better add one comment about
my own beliefs that might
soothe the SP's baseless fears that
campus- news will be covered.
It is this: that as News Editor
I take my orders , from Fred
Powledge, but I also have my
own convictions. For one thing,
I believe that the campus news
should be covereck and it will as
long as I'm the News Editor.
(There's enough space to have
both national, international and
campus news." But there is
'enough room for both, I'm sure.
When campus gives way to in
ternational news that is, when
the news pf the world starts re
placing news of the campus
that's when I quit. But I say,
SP members, we can have both.
So don't be afraid of not having
the campus covered, Jim Holmes,
John Brooks, et. al.

ON THE CAMPUS LAST WEEK:
Chest, Cats And
The campus took part in its
annual Campus Chest drive, got
ready for a decisive Board of
Aldermen meeting tomorrow, and
went home.
And four coeds and a member
of the administration were tap
ped into the highest women's
honorary.
The Campus Chest drive was
headed up by Miss Jackie Ald
ridge, who's also secretary of
the student body, and Jess
Stribling. With a goal of $1,500
this year, the co-chairmen ex
tended the drive until Tuesday.
The Board of Aldermen meet
ing was scheduled to consider
one of the sorer spots of the Uni
versity whether or not fraterni
ty men who live on the block of
S. Columbia St. between Frank

Events of the last few days have sorely tested
individuals and nations as to their adherence to
fundamental moral positions. President Eisenhow
er put it well when he said there cannot be one
code for the weak, another for the strong; one for
opponents, another for friends. Prime Minister
Nehru has followed the same reasoning in linking
Hungary with Egypt in denouncing the use of "mod
ern arms to suppress peoples."
Yet when India had a chance to stand up in the
United Nations Assembly and, vote for the resolu
tion demanding a cease-fire and the withdrawal
of Soviety troops from Hungary it did not seize that
opportunity. It abstained. So did 13 other Asian and
African nations. They acted differently about the
invasion of Egypt.
They were not deterred by the fact that Egypt
had refused to make peace with Israel, but instead
had been building up its arms, conducting repeat-
ed raids, and threatening to wipe
off the map. They simply saw

chance of survival, kept up their sniping attacks on Communist
invaders, who by then had taken over the country.
Marshall Tito's Yugoslavia, which herself broke away from the
Russian satellites, joined the West in a demand that Russia remove
her troops from Hungary.
In the Middle East, Israel said she would withdraw her troops
from Egypt and cooperate with the UN police force. The police
force was being organized under the command of Maj. Gen. E. L.
M. Burns of Canada, head of the UN Palestine Truce Supervision
Organization.
FRIDAY The Middle East: The United States was reported
considering a mutual security pact with Israel as a means of sim
mering down the wartorn Middle East.
Hungary: The UN General Assembly formally called the
Russian invasion of Hungary an "intolerable attempt to deny the
Hungarian people . . . freedom and independence."
And the United States contributed $1 million to Hungarian
refugee relief.
SATURDAY In Hungary, the Communist government refused
to allow International Red Cross personnel into the country. All
Red Cross relief must be channeled through Communist Yugo
slavia, the government said.
Middle East: Part of the United Nations police force headed
for the Suez Canal zone, although Egypt hasn't said she will allow
foreign troops on her soil. The United States made herself ready
to fly the police force to the Mediterranean as quickly as required.

A pretty little coed from Fay

She's 20.
Also on the campus last week:
The Daily Tar Heel asked for
and got $400 for a national-international
Associated Press wire.
The debate was one of the hot
test in the Student Legislature so
far this year.
The Carolina Quarterly, UNC's
literary magazine, came out in a
new format, full of Thomas
Wolfe and solid writing.
Earl Slocum, who has worked
with the USC Band for 32 years,
retired. Herbert W. Fred became
new director.
We consider that vote correct. And we have
often been grateful for the high moral and hu
mane sentiments these nations have expressed in
the UN, But the peace cannot be built on one-way
morality. Surely no less indignation, no less effort
to halt the slaughter and "suppression of peoples"
in Hungary, were required.
Explanations can be made. Many Asians and
Africans feel a special kinship with Egyptians they
do not feel with Hungarians. Most of them have
been colonies of France or Britain. They have never
been Soviet satellites. It may be, too, that some
delegations did not have time to consult their gov
ernments and may yet correct their "abstentions."
We trust such corrections will be made. Also
that as the UN proceeds to deal with these two
examples of direct action these abstainers will
adopt the Eisenhower position and lend the full
force of their moral support impartially. So doing,
they can win respect for themselves as truly in
dependent and for the UN as an impartial peace
