Tar Heel Students Are
Dropping Behind Others
Something is wrong with the student body. Out of state students,
viewed through the eyes of a native, are only-good to the lTniversity be
cause they bring opinions and ideas from other regions. If this were
their capacity it would be well worth the tax payers' money. 1
But the trouble with the student body, or the North Carolinians in
the student body, is that they "Seem altogether ttx willing to sit back
and let the out-of-staters get all the benefits of the school's program.
Monday night a discussion on the race problem arose during the
meeting of a well known campus organization. One memler of the group
suddenly tame tip with 'I'm from Newark, New Jersey," and then he
continued with one of the opin- . , , .. ..
a turn . touu -
south.
Returning to the University
level, it is true that the very top
offices are held bv natives. The
offices didn't, come to them just
because they were Tar Heels
thev earned their positions by
.showing their ability.. But below
the top leaders,' the ranks hold a
remarkable number of out-of-state
students, who are there for
the same reasons as their leader.
They were either more qualified
than their opponents or else were
unopposed.
Now the non-Carolinians have

ions the administration would like
to have stimulating North Caro
linians. There was otilv one troub
le: alxMit a fourth of the group
was not from the Tar Heel state.-
One-fourth doesn't sound like
too big a figure, but only 18 per
cent of the student bod v. docs ixt
come from North Carolina. Some
where, down -in the dorms, at the
Hick, or thumbing to Creensboro
were native Tar Heels who could
have benefited from the discuss
ion. Thev all .could have had the
opjioitunity to coinpete with the
out-of-staters for a place at the
meeting table, but they were
somewhere else.
This really " doesn't speak well
lor the natives. The, old concep
tion that the South is a place of
indolent indi iduals sitting on
shadv x era ndahs sipping mint
juleps, is not quite true in this
dav of blossoming, industry and
discovery, But it is beginning to
look like the South is staving where

anyone. But it seems strange that
thev are able to get so much more
out of .school than their fellow
stirdent from within the "borders
of the state.
It's time the inhabitants .of the
"ale of humility" realized why
it is tluvt thev are here.
An Unsentimental Sport
"Jackie Robinson's announcement of his retirement from organized
ba.se ha 11. coming as it did alter he had been traded to the New York
Giants, touched off hot words between the controversial athlete and
Brooklyn Dodger vice president. Buzzy Bavasi.
Baasi criticized Robinson for giving a national magazine exclusive
rights to his retirement announcement before telling newspapermen.
The vice president claimed Robinson betrayed newsmen by not telling
them first. ' . . . .
.a i me same i m ic nif ikrooiviMi
front office should be criticized
for dealing with him in the man
ner they did.
The ex-star did a lot for Brook
lyn., and for baseball. His greatest
accomplishment was breaking
down the racial barrier in the ma-or-1e:irYF.s;"He
also heljed the
Oodgers win six. pennants and one
world's championship, the club's
first, during the course of his ca
reer. And Brooklyn evidently doesn't
appreciate his efforts very much.
Robinson ..defended his poition
saving he had agreed to give ex
clusive rights "a 'huig' time ago" to
the'; magazine when the time came.
But whether or not Robinson
betrayed newspapermen by his
agreement of ' a long time ago"
is something we're not. attempting
to find out.
.What concerns us is Robinson's
statement ". . . there's .no senti
ment in this game."
He's right.
Consider the examples of Phil
Rizzuto and Babe Ruth. Rizzuto,
outstanding Yankee stortstop for
many years, was given the gate last
year shortly before World Series
time, thus being deprived of an
other chance to participate in the

Yankees front office saw he could
n't hit epiite as many home runs
as he once did. And he was per
haps the most outstanding jxr
soii ever to play for the Yankees.
Both were disposed of with ap
parently no feeling; not sentiment.
And Robinson said he was determ
ined "this was not going to hap
pen to me." ...
Robinson should be praised
for not -letting it happen to him.

Mr. Morehead's solar timepiece
next to his planetarium seems to
have stood the test of time, and
is really not a totally unpleasant
addition to the ampus.
As a matter of fact the sun dial
has become another of those plates
in Chapel Hill where one's imagi
nation can be stimulated and one's
ruffled nerves calmed. The struc
ture has proven it can be a thing
of beauty in almost any kind of
weather. In the rain its shiny face
refletis the surrounding area, and
adds a surrealistic interpretation
of its own. On a foggy night the
stylus looks like the prow of a
giant sword fish just breaking wat
er. When the sun shines, the whole
ornament shimmers pleasantly, and
the tound circle with the hour
glass is a beady eye sizing up every
passerby.
The slick marble face also makes
a nice skating rink for school chil
dren visiting the planetarium, and,
when it's wet. a deadly trap for
rubber-soled students hurrying to
class.
This matter of whether or not
the tiling was designed for walk
ing caused some sjecu!ation at first.
Now the general opinion seems to
Ik in favor of cutting straight
across the thing if time requires
it, but to stroll more leisurely
around it when there is no rush.
With all the children playing
i ing-around-the-rosy on the hu e,
and people striding boldy across
it, there is some scuffing" and a cer
tain amount of mud tracked across
the shiny dial. This isn't a "don't
walk on the sun dial" editorial,
but people might at least wipe
their feet off, and it would be'
nice if somebody from either the
planetarium or Graham Memor
ial could mop it off when it gets
muddy.

But They Can Expect Some Holes
Malvina Lindsay
In The Wusliitigton Post
The vigor with which industry's
annual manhunt on campuses is
now getting under way, six
months ahead of graduation,
promises that the current suc
cess ideal if the young will con
; tinue to get deeper rooting.
Greater numbers of talented
and capable youth can look forward-
to being well paid "organi
zation men" with growing fam
ilies and two-car homes in Su
burbia, and with expectations of
secure futures through company
retirement plans.
Industry's talent scouts, now
out on one-night stands bidding
for services" of promising sen
iors, are reported offering sal
aries 5 to 10 per cent higher
than last year. The companies
prefer '-talented" students, but
will settle in some lines for
"capable" ones.
The student rushees, in their
bargainings, tend to beat but
the picture sociologists have
been drawing of postwar youth
What they consider most im
portant to. the job are oppor
tunity to do interesting work,
good training programs, chances
of advancement, salaries equal
to others in the field, retire
ment security, , location for
good living conditions.
This ties in with an analysis
of the aspirations of the college
class of 1955 made at the Cen
ter for Study of Leisure at the
University of Chicago. Time mag
azine turned over to the cen
ter its interviews with seniors
representing 20 colleges. These
were based on what the seniors
expected to be doing 15 years
hence.
David Reisman, author of The
Lonely Crowd, and Faces in the
Crowd, who participated in the
study, contrasts in the fall issue
of The American Scholar the
ideals of this class with those
of lpre-1946" 'classes, especially
the one in 1931 to which he be
longed. ,
In his article. "The Found
Generation," he says that clas
reports of graduates of major
. Ivy League colleges between
1920 and 1946 show a certain
coherence. These - graduates re
membered the depression, and
part of them attended college in
a wartime era of transition.
Such graduates, he thinks,
tended to have more drive for
individual success or adventure
than those of the postwar era.
They did less planning of their
lives, married later, changed
jobs more frequently. They had
less "floor" under them, also
less "ceiling" above. '
While the earlier graduates
often looked to big cities, es
pecially to New York, as their
goal, today's graduate looks
rather to living "outside the ul
cer belt" in a small community,
or in a suburban area that will
be suitable for child rearing and
for civic activities.
Today's graduate is gregarious
and he thinks of both his occupa
tional and social future as2 re
lated to groups.
The earlier graduate was more
of a lone wolf, possibly because
the corporation had not thert beJ
come " so 'muth the modernized
successor of the feudal protect-
Realistic though these later,
graduates are in refusing to try
to hitch their wagons to-'stars ,
out of reach,- they yet naively
ignore the threat world condi
tions offer to their plans. For
them, says. Mr. Reisman, 'the
national and international scene
holds neither fear nor fascina
tion." Their vision is that of
"life on a plateau."
But even if serious internation
al explosions and domestic de
pressions' are prevented in the
years ahead, the future pattern
of the good safe life to which
many graduates aspire may meet
some alteration.
The last decade has been one
in which new job seekers have
"never had it so good." Needs
of the' defense program, plus
the shortage of yiuthful manpow
er, caused . by . low depression
birth rates, have provided a
sellers' market for graduates.
But between now and 1960,
according to Census Bureau es
timates, the "number of those
seeking their first jobs will rise
225,000 a year. Ten years- hence
it will become a flood with about
900,000 newcomers annually
wanting jobs.
Expansion of industry may
keep up wifh this. But coming
graduates face the possibility
-the plateaus on which they ex
pect to live may have a few
ditches.

OTHER NEWSPAPERS SAY:
is Aid To Hungary Or To Kadar?
The New York Times
0
For the past two months the
United Nations has been trying,
to get observers into Hungary.
The Kadar Government, which on
Nov. 4 began to act as Moscow's
agent in Hungary, has arrogant'
Iy and ' insultingly . refused. It
would not even- permit a visit
from Secretary General Dag
Uammrskjold himself.
But last Friday a different sort
of news became available. Mot
of the Russian tanks seemed .to
have Leen withdrawn from the
streets-of Budapest. The bodies
of Hungarian patriots killed in
the defense of their country have
been buried. The survivors are
in prirson or exile. The blooJ
1 stains have been washed away.
The Kadar regime will there
fore graciously permit a U. N.
mission of four perfons, headed
. by Under Secretary Philippe de
, Seynes, to spend a week-end in
Budapest.
As this newspaper's corre
. spondeut, Kathleen Teltsch, re
ported from the United Nations
Headquarters in this city: ' The
Hungarians apparently were will
ing to waive their former objec
tions to an eralier visit, particu-
iaily if it would call the attention
of member states to their griev
ous need for outride assistance."
There is not one of us who
would not wish to help the peo
ple Hungary in their despera'e
hour, it there were any way in
which it could be done. But cer
tainly the large majority of U. N
members who voted to condemn
Soviet t Russia for its actions in
Hungary will want guarantees
that any aid sent into the
stricken country will be used for
the benefit of the people thereof
and not to support the Kadar
Kremlin Government.

President Eisenhower has asked Congress to
grant him the power to use force, at his own dis-
cretion, to prevent the spread of Communism in
the Middle East, and I guess to a lot of people this
appears to be another example of the President s
course of action . in his attempt to take over and
control everything in the government.
It might appear lo some that the President wants
to be in a position from which he can operate on
his own in tremendous proportions, with little ser- '
ions regard for the judgment of the members of
Congress, or others in important" positions. And I
am here to say that this is exactly and perfectly cor-
rect.
A couple of days ago, North Carolina's own
W. Kerr Scott put his two cents worth in by stat
ing that he is of-the conviction that President Eis
enhower is trying to walk on both sides of thejoad
at the same time..
Now this, ladies and gentlemen, is a very pro
found outlook. I wonder how any many can be
come so brilliant in only one lifetime. Could it
be that Sen. Scott implies that the President is
attempting to observe and seek solutions to he
problems of people other than those in his own
political party?
If this is what Sen. Scott means, then I can
readily understand why it is so exasperating for
him. "Politicians" just don't do things like that.
Their primary concern is o show themselves
as good party members, and they are so busy at it
that they seldom, have the time or opportunity to
do any effective legislating.
The people of this country, have been subjected -
to, for want of a more accurately descriptive term, ""
the inadequate judgment of so many "politicians"
for so long, that it is difficult for them to see and '
realize what a God-send they have in a man like
Dwight Eisenhower. " So many of the people in- '
volved in politics are so narrow that they do not
have the dimensional fortitude to cope with issues
or problems on a world-wide basis.
It should be clcear to those who have looked
closely that Dwight Eisenhower is a politician,
not a "politician".
They saw a man put before them who had the
ability to control a nation, its people and its prob- -lems.
They put that man in office, and the people
of the world who are open-minded enough will be
thankful that they did. ,
One of the most difficult things for most people
to understand is that Dwight Eisenhower is not
operating for Dwigh1. Eisenhower. He is not operat
ing for the good of the Republican Parly, or an
other special and limited group. He is operating
for the common good, and the common good in
cludes all the people of the world.
If this is a .Utopian concept, then why not
strive for a utopia for a change, instead of dismiss
ing the entire idea as impractical and impossible,
and even foolish to think about? Is it so wrong to
be idealistic?
When I hung up my uniform a couple of years
ago, I was of the firm conviction that I wanted
no more of war unless the country was faced with
a national emergency, and I am still of the came
conviction, but there is another thing of which I
am equally as strongly convinced, and that is i
President Eisenhower says., that we are facing a
national emergency, then it will be time for all
of the able-bodied people of this country to get
into uniform, whether for the first time, or sec- .
ond or third.
And all you skeptics and slackers who are
more interested in progress on your own personal
behalf than on behalf of the people of the world
had better change your way of thinking, drastical
ly, and fast.
President Eisenhowrer may have to issue the
call. If and when he does, I wonder how many
people would willingly answer. I wonder how many
real Americans we would see.
A Rousing Silence
For Brother Hoover
The Reporter .
Soon the corridors of the State Department
will see the last of Under Secretary Herbert Hoover
Jr., the man who cacme in more 4han two years
ago as the son of the Great Engineer to sit at Mr.
Dulles' right hand, a?;d who now goes out of office
amid a chorus of resounding silence.
He had been appointed not because of his wide
knowledge of world affairs or his experience at
large-scale management he had neither but be
cause an administration anxious to appease its
own right wing had thought that to honor a Hoover
scion with high office might do the trick. Dulles,
after all, would remain his boss.
But Mr. Hoover the younger, outwardly a
colorless, silent man, soon displayed such an out
standing backstage ability at crossing up,' slowing,
and frustrating his boss and, on occasion, the Pres
ident himself that the trick worked only too well.
He opposed the scope of Dulles' foreign-aid
program, particularly with respect to India. He
opposed Dulles' plan for cultural exchanges vith
the Communist world. v,
As chairman of the Operations Coordinating
Board, Mr. Hoover opposed the closer dealings with
Tito that Dulles had been advocating. During the
Suez crisis, while both the President and Secre
tary Dulles were absent from the capital, he found
so many obstacles to throw in the path of prompt
U. S. oil-tanker relief of Britain and France that
the several weeks'delay further embittered mter
Allied relations . .. .
He disappears " from the scene w ith a ' Dear
Herbert" Presidential letter of thanks. We are
thankful too.
