Yet the University informatioYi agency, the News Bureau, con tinues to bring forth various and sundry tributes to the infirmary's handling of the epidemic, eulogies to the administration's foresight and laudetory words for overall handling of the slant-eyed visitor from Asia. We detest, and abhor this type of 1'nivcrsity "glossing over." In lit inary ' ami University officials have painted -a rosy picture to pre vent having to admit that medical lacilitics here are simply inadequ ate to handle a wave of victims. Classes were not suspended and the (lass load was not lightened we contend, simply because the Uni versitv's officialdom hated to admit an inadequacy failure to handle a Hood of sick students.

It must be assumed that the Herald's editorial writer knows more about education than a man who has unselfishly devoted his lile to educational enrichment. And the Herald's, writer has fail ed to hit the crux of the education al pioblem: Not that too few or too many students are failing to enter halls of higher learning, but that too iii.inv are falling bv the wavsidc during their four-year higher edu cational tenure. Extra and additional facilities should be atldetl to aitl these stu dents in lieu of denial of higher education to capable students who had the educational background which will enable them to com pete with other students on pre t ollrgr examinations discrimina tory entrance exams. Narrow-minded, comprehension failure from the Herald's editorial WISE AND OTHERWISE: The Power Of Positive Pols And Politics . Whit Whitfield With the fall elections' just around the corner, many fresh men grooming themselves for poli tical positions. To those noephytes who are a bit wary of the antici pated ordeal which will confront them, let us offer some advice. Someone once said, '"Those who can, do; hose who can't, teach." That is why it is so easy to give advice. Well: Rule 1. Be nice to everyone you meet. If names are difficult to remember, then clear your throat as yu speak, or cover your mouth with your hand. The name always comes out Glumpft, but you are spoken of as the most amicable gent on campus. Rule 2. Always carry extra ci garettes and .matches. Given' in good faith upon request, or passed out when you smoke often bring votes in return. Rule 3. Have a good platform. This is of the utmost necessity, tor regardless of the office the constituents want to know what you will do if elected. Some sug gested platform planks are: J a 1 Pave McCorkle Place from Franklin to Columbia so that fresh men coidd keep cars. (b) Install conveyor belts in lieu of the brick walks. ic Put escalators and air condi tioners in the classroom buildings. d Free date tickets to all foot ball and basketball games. e Free trains to Kansas City next spring. Rule 4. Run unopposed if at all possible. It is much easier to win this way. and it doesn't hurt the pocket book. Rule 4'i. If you cannot run un opposed, then while campaigning slay in each room an hour or so and introduce yourself as your op ponent. You will win by a land slide. Rule 5. Deface your own posters. The voters seeing the mutilations will think that your opponent or his friends- have done this and have compassion on you. (another surefire) Rule 6. If you do not have the heart to deface your own posters, . then go to every place where you have a poster and inscribe there upon: '"great guy" or "Cobb's choice, etc." The residents, think ing that some of their neighbors know you, will vote for you rather than someone else they don't know. This does not work as well as the former suggestion however. Great discretion should be exer cised in using this one. Hide 7. "Stand up to be seen; speak up to be heard; Shut up to be appreciated." Rule 8. Always be sincere whe ther you mean it or not. If you follow these few simple steps you need never worry about your election you won't live that long.

I spotted one Inne professor focusing his camera,. . obviously loaded with color film, on the sights around him. 'fliere was, believe it or not, a tree that was completely gold. It stood out from those around it which were only a little less fortunately en dowed. The camera clicked and the professor looked genuinely pleased with himself as he crunched through the leaves down toward the Arboretum. This is the visiting season. Grammar school sightseers can be seen at all hours of the day lining up in front of' the Plane tarium or trooping through Le noir Hall in orderly little rows. lunch .money clutched in hot, sticky hands. Let us not allow the flu. an RcimeSeS XXI overloaded schedule, or anything else to keep us from looking around and seeing- what photo graphers and third-graders see the magic of fall at Chapel Hill. Here are a couple I had never heard: ''Mother, can I have a new dress for Easter? "Certainly not, George. . T ." "Mommy, why do I keep walk ing in circles?" "Shut up, or I'll nail your , other foot to the floor." TIME goes on. to say that actually this kind of joke goes back a generation ago to the "Little Willie" verses: "Little Willie with a shout Gouged the baby's eyeballs out Jumped on them to maite them pop Momma said, "Now Willie, stop." You just can't get away from tradition, can you? Review A full review of the Carolina Playmakers' "Lark" by drama critic Howard Fulweiler will be found on Tuesday's editorial page. L'lL ABNER It looks as if our gruesome little jokes that have recently Dcen so popular on campus have made national news. TIME has a writeup this week on the "Mother, why can't I gn.out and play?" story. The national maga zine calls these little jokes Some have hit at the dictatori al way in which Tom Long and John Brooks, roomates, have handled the selection of deleg ates for the State Student Legis lature in Raleigh. Those who disagree contend that Long and Brooks wanted to pack the delegation with their supporters so they would be free to run for major legislative of fices. Brooks has designs on the speakership, they say. READER'S REPOSITORY: Reader Retorts FemaledonVs Husband Hunt EDITOR: Hail to The Daily Tar Heel for perpetrating what may be the most significant expose in recent years. Not only has the secret been let out that coeds are interested only in getting husbands, but now we know what the necessary ingre dients are to facilitate being in cluded in the divine slate of pros pective husbands. I conjecture, would I be speak ing for the majority of the Caro lina male populace if I said, who gives a damn what Carolina, fe- maledom is" looking for in a hus band? It is indisputable that coeds are here on a two year "glory trail." The kind of drivel printed in The Daily Tar Heel bears this out. I'm sure, that we all would be in a far more equitable situation if coeds worried more about whe ther they have the necessary quali fications. If they took a good look at themselves, and did something about it, the battle of the sexes would be tempered considerably now and for the rest of our lives. Hats off to Misses Whitehurst and Gluyos. They are obviously gals with enough sense to weather the storm, once having departed from "Carodise." I realize it's all tongue-in-cheek, girls, so is this. We all love and adore you. We are aware of the necessity of you, but the abomin able fact is that you realize it more than we do. The scales of justice are not balanced. Good luck, husband huntresses, the fishbowl is overflowing. D. C. JOHNSON 204 GRIMES by Al Capp m &r I pitchforks, VcM U ftP IdS ?

For several days previously, those of us who are Frenchmen, either by birth or adoption, had been speculating on the possibility of Albert Camus win ning the Nobel Prize for literature this year. On Wednesday, several leading news ' services began some of there own wagering, Camus being their o.i. odds on choice. Thursday morning I set out with the idea of compiling a long, interpretive essay relating to Camus' life, work and thought. If I could just get this completed, I thought, and into print before the announcement. After working for almost five solid hours on the peice, I went across the street to Harry's for a cup of tea and a glance at the after noon paper. On page eight was the" announcement: "French Writer, Only 43, Wins Nobel Prize." I was both exasperated and exhilarated. When I got back to my room all was Confusion. There, strewn over my desk, the floor, my bed and on top of my trunk, was a day's work. There were most of his novels & essays, books reviews, a French biography nad interpretation of his work, newspa per articles and various personal scratchings of my own. The more I thought about the announce ment, however, the more excited I became. Now, I imagined, more of his work would be translated, more criticisms and interpretations would appear and, most significantly, more people would read and become aware of his labors. In my rising delirium, I brushed everything aside and sat down to write him a 'letfCTi of congratula tions. To me this was one of thegfatest things to happen since I found out that little; girls were not all sugar 'n spice 'n everything nice. After mailing the letter, I went to get a few,gSnks and toasted the great day: "Vive la France! . . . vive Camus!" In all' the toasting, I got toasted. The last thing I remembered was being rolled over, and basted about 11 p.m. .. , On returning from class the other day, I saw the little snip-tailed squirrel scurrying, across the camp us. Legend has it that he didn't quite make it to the nearest tree in the endless game of tag between the canine citizenery and the squirrels. But it struck me that we don't hear any of the barking dogs this year. I mentioned this to Paul Smith, the genial pa tron of the Intimate Bookshop of Franklin Street fame, and he said that there must have been some kind of summer campaign. 'That's a heck of a note," he went on, "knowing that we can't even go to the dogs . . . they've left us!" While in the Intimate, one of the boys from the Chapel Hill High School came in trying to sell magazine subscriptions (to he proprietor of a bookshop!). Well, the practical joker in "Mr. Smith, showed itself. He purchased, for only two dollars, a five year subscription to the American Poultry Journal and sent it to one of his friends whom he knew to be least interested in poultry problems. "Boy, this is great," he said. "A five year prac tical joke! If you want to have some more fun, send The Breeder's Journal to somebody." At least we are pleased to note that the art of practical jokery is yet alive. ' For those of you who seem to. have an abun dance of problems, may I suggest that one of the North Carolina papers, The Raleigh Times, has the solution to your woes. They have a young lady in their employment who will be glad to answer your letters and give you personal advice. An example follows: "DEAR ABBY: I am in a terrible jam. I have to marry a fellow right away, f We are both 18. His mother says that she will give him permission to marry me if we promise not1 to have any kids until he gets his army service -ovi" with. My moth er knows why I have to get married so soon but his mother doesn't. I hate to make a promise I know I can't keep, but she won't give her consent otherwise. Please tell me what to do. -islgned) IN A JAM (ABBY'S answer) DEAR IN A JAM: It would be better to tell the truth but, whether you tell her or not, pretty soon HIS mother is 'going to know as much as YOUR mother. Good luck! (signed) ABBY If you have a problem, be sure to write to Abi gail Van Buren, care of The Raleigh Times. I am certain that she will provide yon- with an answer which is just as enlightening as the one above. Reader Assaults Columnists' View Editor: Why dan't you stop prostituting a part of your publication by giving over the last column of your editorial page to extremely untalehted and uninter esting individuals who use that space to elucidate their capacity for alcohol, among other rather bor ing subjects? I am sure that an accurate poll of your readers v would indicate the majority of us are no more in terested in how much Messrs. Crowther, Walker, et. al. drink, than we are interested in how often they dream of blondes, eat or defecate. Instead of printing these incoherent ramblings, I suggest that you allot this spacV'to some member of your staff who might, possiblyhave something worthwhile to say (e.g., Mr. Curtis Cans). With the exception of the above mentioned space, I think you are to be commended for the high quality of your paper and the wisdom of your editorial policy. It is truly encouraging to see such a conservative policy in a paper printed by persons too often thought of as a "bunch of radical kids." ROY HODGE froof Reader ALTON CLAYTOR IF
