READERS' REPOSITORY:
CAROLINA CARROUSEL: -"Sure You Got Everyllihig Under Control, Jimmy?"
No Love Labors
Lost Between
Profs &Stus
Gail Godwin
There certainly is no love lost
between the majority of profes
sors and their students around
here. In the professor's eye. the
student is a seat number to which
a more or less permanent I.Q. is
assigned alter the first guiz. To
the student, "the man up front"
is a competitor with whom he
must match wits.
I went to one of my professors
af;er 1 had been absent to give
him an excuse. "Who are you?"
lie said. I told him my name. "No.
1 mean what is your scat num
ber." he replied impatiently.
In one of my larger classes
which numbers eighty-five on the
roll, a girl dared to interrupt the
professor with a question. It seem-;
he had contradicted himself twice
in the course of an explanation,
thus confusing the class. The girl
asked him to please explain once
more.
Me lookeil as if he were invoking
the gods of wisdom to send a bolt
of lightning down tin the ignor
amus who had slowed down his
fit'. mile-a-miiHite lecture. "If any
of you still don't understand. I'll
explain it after class sometime.
Might now I am hurrying to get
through this chapter." Me dis
missed the question.
Professor, why are you in such
a nurry: Uk it ever occur to you
that we might not understand the
material as well as you. who have
been over it manv times and
taught it to many classes?
Professor, w hy are you so ev a
.sive? Don't you want us to ex
plore the bright world o the
learned as you have? Do you want
us to be in ?he dark forever'.'
I do not think all professors fit
the above descriptions. Most of
us are lucky enoii'.rh to have one
cM-option who brightens our thy.
Me is not rat ing his departmen
tal peers to sec who can cover
the most chapters the quickest. Me
does not drone. Me does not use
ambiguous words. Up U intor
fsH'd in liis fichl ,iiul Ik- want-; his
students to be interested too.
Therefore, - he exerts some effort
to say something they will remem
ber. I have a political science profes
sor who. I venture to say. knows
all his students names. Maybe he
has a little chart on his rostrum
that we can't see. but at any rate
he addresses its each by name.
In fact, he even speaks to us on
campus. He wears collegiate
clothes. Mts on the tlesk and
smokes, tells us his war experi
ences relating to the subject at
hand, and has a store of unusual
cases to illustrate legal points.
Me dues not race to uet through
radini; our papers, but goes slow
ly, explaining by the side of cacti
wrong answer why it was wrtum.
I have a journalism professor
who can be seen up at Y-t'ourt
regularly. Me has not lost con
tact with his students.
It would make classes so much
happier if the relationship be
tween the teachers and the taught
could be improved. Maybe it is
partly our fault. Maybe we have
forgotten that they are people and
not blobs in front of our desks.
The only remedy is interest. In
terest in one side of the desk by
the other side, and vice versa.
L'lL ABNER
Myriad Views On Athletics
Retorts On Tatumism Edits
KDITOR:
The football team and Coach
.Jim Tatum have done a good job
this year and deserve a lot of cred
it. Whether they win or lose Sat
urday afternoon, these boys work
hard all week. They spend a lot
of time and effort trying to have
a team that can compete with and
win over other college teams.
Why? Because the students and
others within the state like football
iis a spectator spurt, and they, de
mand winning teams.
Some of the athletes maintain an
exceptionally high scholastic aver,
aye. They all have to conform
with the usual University stand
ards just as all students do. TJie
football players that you portray
as ogres with special privileges
are just people, students with
superior athletic skills. Could
there be some jealousy that causes
this animosity evident in those
editorial attacks?
You continue to imply with your
vague, empty writing that you
know of some improper practices
within the Athletic Dept. You hint
ol recruiting irregularities. We
suggest von quit those unfounded
attacks or make public what you
know about it all.
I'ntil we learn different, we shall
continue to believe that the Athle
tic Dept.. the coaches and their
staffs are well-organized, efficient
and well-meaning.
CHARLKS CAIM'S
,11M HARWELL
Is the writer trying to discredit
our coach in the eyes of the stu
dent body? Is he trying to get the
three cxfootballers expelled from
school'.' Is he trying to get Dave
Recti reinstated? Is he saying that
gentlemen cannot drink beer? Is
he saving that drinking beer con
stitutes a violation of the Campus
Oxle?
Is he interring that our adminis
tration officials are not capable of
doing a job commensurate with
their rank? Is he trying to incite
the resignation of coach Tatum?
Did he infer that Coach Tatum
was responsible for lack of funds
at the Maryland library, and for
the low standards of ad-mission and
grading at the University of Mary
land? Is he saying that scholastics arc
necessarily sacrifieil in the inter
est of athletics'.' Is he suggesting
that the Student Council should
have authority to overrule Coach
Tatum?
Or. is he merely trying to pro
voke thought? If any of the former
are true. I shall dismiss them as
meager mutterings of a misled
mite, and levy partial blame upon
myself for supporting his election.
If the latter is true .his purpose
should certainly have been accom
plished. . Ii. l'RYE
write about.
As any coach. Tatum wants to
win. It is not that those of ue
who have goals in life, also have
a great desire to reach that goal?
Should we look forward to falling
slu rt of our ambitions?
I think the people who write the
editorials for this paper should re
cognize what Coach Tatum stands
for. Mas Tatum not boosted our
school spirit to very high levels?
Is it not true that football players
have to maintain a certain aver
age in order to be eligible to play?
And did Coach Tatum not make
his high moral standards clear
when he dismissed two of his most
valuable players at a time when
the answers to these questions will
give more of an indication as to
what kind of a person Tatirm is
than the articles written by those
persons who have to search for
things to write about.
JOE McLEOD
EDITOR:
In reference to the Sunday
'October 27th 1 editorial in The
Daily Tar Meel. I would like to ask
a few questions. What is the in
tent of such an article?
EDITOR:
It amazes me that someone has
the audacity to constantly try to
start ill feelings toward Coach
Tatum. Coach Tatum has done
cry many things to help our Uni
versity, and he would be better
understood, if only some people
would stop and take notice instead
of searching tor something io

WISE AND OTHERWISE:
Proofing Problems 1
And Occupation .
Whit Whitfield
One of the perrenial gripes aboutth e Dialy Tar
Heel is lack of proofreading We submit that the
responsible people are doing every thing in their
power to combut this. In every paper of good stand
irigth eir will be a certain amount of errors in the
copy, but most of them will be caught befor the
paper goes to press.
There are always some errors which do get by
the proofreaders, but these are few, and they only
addto hte desirability of the paper. Same people
are alwavs looking for mistakes to comment on.
thisseems to geve them a feeling of superiority
over the capus journalists.
These people are more numeroushere than Is
usually thought to be the case. Soooo there are
mor avid readers in this group proportiunately to
the number of errors?
In case some of you missed it in Sunday's paper:
Lt. Governor Guy Hardwich, in a telegram to
President Elsenhower after the murder of Albert
Anastasia, has suggested that the president move
Federal troops from Little Rock to New York City.
To quote briefly from the telegram, "Respect
fully invite your attention to the total breakdown
of the law of the land in NYC . . . Anastasia. the
cold-blooded executioner of the old Murder, Inc.
was assassinated yesterday in a barber chair . . .
Reportf urther Anastasia had beaten five murder
raps through the murder of key witnesses . . . mob
rule prevails . . . gang murderers are on the loose.
Obviously local law enforcement unable to cope
with the situation. Respectfully suggest that you . . .
pull out the bayonets from state of Arkansas and
move them forthwith to the state of New York
where there is real, not imaginary, job to do.
Situation in Little Rock and South Peaceful."
We believe that what he suggests (and not quite
as respectfully as he maintains) that Ike send the
occupation troops to New York where they will be
killed by gang wars. And this is a likely prospect.
If enough troops are killed in Nexv York City then
the president .would have more trouble enforcing
integration in the South. This is to the advantage of
the state of Alabama particularly for they might
well anticipate even more trouble on the same issue.
If the people in the South are able to keep
gang warfare alive in New York City, and if Eisen
hower's forces are moved there, then the South
will be safe. Send contributions to Murder Inc..
General Delivery. New York. N. Y.
Rumor has it that Sam Sncad will get the Re
publican nomination in '60. with Ben Hogan as
his running mate. Neither has been reached for
confirmation as yet, but the issue is doubtful. Both
their games are off.
ERIC THE RED:
EIHTOU:
Who are we0 Are we the leaders
in student democracy, in free
speech, and in workable administration-student
relations'.' Or are
we the dog's tail that seeks to find
the bark?
Is it necessary for us to examine
the press policies of other univer
sities'1 Can you name me another
institution that is ahead of us in
student democracy? Why. then,
should we spend the time, effort,
and money, experience undue hard
feelings, and imitate schools that
have nothing to offer? If any
change in the student press is
wan-anted. I feel that it should,
most logically, come from within.

Harry Kirschner
Since the entire meaning of Saturday's column
xvas cut bfore it appeared in print I will relate
il here as it is essential to the understanding of
my following columns:
Beaw )If saw that the Eagles were losing their
liberty by the very means that were being em
ployed (investigation and abridgement of free
speech) to defend their individual rights from the
threat of Bearist tyranny. Disgusted, Beawolf
realized that the only way for him to preserve his
freedom was to find a new land to live in.
Years later, while in the Alps, news reached
him that the Eagles had become exactly like the ,
Bears in tyrannical government, and the two tribes'
had finally reached the point of war when the Cro
Magnon peoples swept through France and drove
all the Neanderthals to extinction.
News Item:
Bucharest. N. H. Wearing a halloween ma?k to
avoid his being known to potential subversive
suspects. Special Agent Nathaniel Hawkeye testi
fied today that Mami Everfetterd, 98, had uttered
subversive remarks while taking a shower on UK
night of last February 29th.
Hidden microphones, Hawkeye explained, con
nected to a tape recorder had been planted in Mis
Everfettcr's rooms in a Federal' Old Age Home
upon the request of neighbors who reported her
as having suspicious beliefs.
Miss Everfetter, wh0 doctors report as be.n,
near death due to a stroke suffered last spring, was
brought to the hearings on a stretcher. When asked
if she had said that she wished they had served red
boiled lobster for supper on the night in question
Miss Everfetterd replied that she did not know, as
she has been unable to remember "particulars" fr
the last four years.
The question was then repeated with the warn
ing that excuses would net be of help, and any
thing she said under oath could be held against
her. Miss Everfetterd appeared to reflect for a
moment before she replied, "Well, I guess so. I
likes red lobsters enough anyways."
Her statement was immediately taken as a con
fession, and a charge of treason xvas victoriously
brought against her.
It was a beautiful day for a hearing, 'and manv
spectators turned out for it. The air was sweet and
just slightly sharp, and the trees ranged in blazing
colors from yellow to bright scarlet.
