WISE AND OTHERWISE:
Golfclub Goofs
& Wall Street
Pendulum Pull
Whit Whitfield
The fate of a nation, maybe
even a world, hinges on a Ktroke
of a golfclub. This sounds a little
iarfeUhed. but is it?
In a capitalistic society such as
ours, the going concern is business,
and the heartline of business is
Wall Street. USA. What happens
when Ike goofs? Tlu- market falls.
When he makes
a popular ' play
for the masses
(such as a
speaking tour)
the market rises.
Any time a golf
er gives up . a
golfing vacation
such as he is do
ing next month
just to inform the people is as
sur"d a popularity boost..
It would seem that Wall Street
is a giant pendulum coordinated
with the . moods of our chief ex
ecutive. When he is up. they are
up. And when he is down, they
are way down. Nutf said?
A birdie probably wouldn't cause
a jieat stir, but what effect would
a double bogey have? Too many
in one day might just cause the
president to be in a bad mood,
and people in bad moods don't
always make the proper decisions,
especially when they are poorly
informed by incompetent assist
ants. Who knows? Maybe he would
authorize troops to enforce integra
tion in New York restaurants
where lip service is paid to equal
ity, and where the negro is ac
cepted as a race but not as an
individual. Ridiculous assumption?
Specious argument? Sure it is.
We see where the Student Leg
islature defeated a bill calling for
wastebaskets on campus? This is
I tie only right thing to do in our
opinion. Why put wastebaskets
.-iiixiikI campus? Tradition hs it
that paper or other refuse should
bo thrown around indiscriminate
ly, not in containers. Some siu
dents might not know what they
are. not having seen any before
on campus. Besides this just
think how many groundskeepers
this move would put out of work.
If the students obliged by not lit
tering the campus, what would
they do.
Surely the Groundskeepers' Lo
cal (V47 is behind this recent man
euver. It might be a good idea for
the Student Legislature to sub
poena the officers of this organi
zation and see what the true facts
are now in order to avert a scan
dal later.

We have it straight from the

visit to the infirmary yesterday to
have some football-banged ribs
checked, we tremblingly decided
while there to "get it over with."
and thenceforward marched to the
reception desk, picked up a card,
and shakingly walked ivery slow
ly' to the treatment room off to
the side and at the rear of the
long corridor. A white blur appear
ed to take the card and half audi
ble words trickled to our brain
something like, "follow me."
Standing in the room witn sleeve
rolled up, the foot-long hypodermic
was awaited along with the pint
of vaccine supposed to go into
one's arm. Weaving there in a
state of semiconsciousness, we
seemed to be sliding down a spi
ral banister bedecked in colors of
red. yellow and their combina
tions. But just before keeling over,
other words seeped through.
' Okay, that's it."
And that was it. Reviving, a
very small needle was noted which
couldn't possibly have held that
pint. On inquiry, though, it was
found that, indeed, we were now
fairly assured of safety from long
weeks of battling the Asian Flu,
and that the similarity between
this and the polio shot was simply
that the two were identical.
So. Mr. Kditor. the point is this:
Tell the people to go on down and
get their shots. Dr. Hedgepeth says
there is plenty of free vaccine
now. but tlwit it will be taken else
where in about a week. The good

EDITOR:
In Wednesday's Raleigh Times
I read that Gov. Hodges accused
the State Student Legislature of
taking advantage of the state's
hospitality last weekend. He class
ed the assembly's action as "im
mature." the story said.
Perhaps so. College students,
even those of the caliber attending
the SSL. do occasionally make mis
takes due to the lack of the ex
perience of years.
Yet. because 1 was a delegate
to the Legislature last year. I
know all are conscientious, hard
working individuals who have the
best interests of the state and na
tion at heart. Hodges asked, the
Times reported. "Who do they
(the delegates" represent?"
The answer to that is: no one
but themselves. They stand for
thousands of young people over the
state, however, just as the rep
resentatives in the General As
sembly stand for 4.5 million citi
zens. We all know that even our
elder lawmakers act immaturely.
as in inaction on reapportionment
and action of obscentity statutes
indicates.
At Carolina the delegates are
selected by an interim committee
on the basis of speaking ability,
knowledge of parliamentary pro
cedure and current events. I doubt
if many elected state officials
could score highly on portions of
the quiz administered. And be
cause the students officially rep
resent no one, they are free to
speak out on issues of the day
that politicians will not touch.
This freedom of expression of
the youth of North Carolina col
leges should not be bridled in any
maimer. The State wants to do
it. by possibly supervising the
agenda, and UNC wants" to do it,
by popular election of delegates.
Both "censorship" ideas should
be discarded for the good of the
state. As the situation today is.
only youth is free from entangle
ments enough to speak freely. Let
them keep that privilege.

PRESIDENTIAL MEMO;
President Speaks
On SSL Dispute..
SONNY EVANS
The storm of controversy which has raged on
the editorial pages of the state newspapers over
the actions of the State Student Legislature this
past weekend is due in large measure to misreport
ing, misstatements, and misinterpretation. Over the
course of the last twelve years, the State Student
Legislature has done a great deal of good in both
giving students the experience of meeting with
students from other colleges to discuss the issues
of the day. and in teaching these students the re
sponsibilities that go along with government. It
Iras become a body unique in the United States and
one of which the State of North Carolina can well
be ' proud.
: . . .. . :, .
. The University of North Carolina has a great
tradition of respecting the rights of students to
vote various convictions regardless of whether or
not, they anger, criticize, or disagree. Though they
were not elected specifically for this meeting,
many of the students here who went were responsi
ble . leaders in other positions on the campus, and
they split-on many of the votes just as the student
body would split if a vote were taken.
When a newspaper, such as the Raleigh News
and Observer, does not report the truth from an
assembly such as this, then we students are virtual
ly powerless. Contrary to the newspaper account,
the highly talked about legalized prostitution bill
failed by an overwhelming majority in both the
House and the Senate; in fact, it was not even on
the official agenda, but came up from an individual
on the floor of the assembly. The bill to delete all
laws preventing intermarriage of races, introduced
by Duke University and debated for several hours,
was an effort by the students not to either con
demn or condone but to protect the civil liberties
of the individual. The obscenity bill denied the
unwise censorship rights of sheriffs in the indi
vidual counties to arbitrarily determine what was
obscene and did not abolish all obscenity laws in
the State, an impression which many people re
ceived. It is a shame that much of the good done by
the students who conducted themselves responsibly
has been lost in the shuffle of an unjustified con
troversy. SSL condemned Governor Faubus for his
flaunting of the court order and his disregard for
the law of the land and thus became one of the
few official voices in the South to speak out for
the people of Little Rock who elected their Board
of Education and sided with the judge.
It is our hope that the people of North Carolina
understand that the sensationalism surrounding the
State Student Legislature is unjustified and is a
product of newspaper irresponsibility. There is
nothing to be ashamed of when students conduct
themselves sensibly and with conviction, believing
in the freedom of expression for which this Uni
versity and the state have always stood.

FROM OLD GOLD AND BLACK:
Tribble Rumors
Are Nebulous..
Once again there are rumors of a move among
alumni to put Dr. Harold W, Tribble out of office
as president of the Callege. And, as usual, the
reasons of his opponents are strangely nebulous.
For two years, a certain faction of old grads
has threatened to organize a move that would take
the presidency away from Dr. Tribble and, sup
posedly, place in office someone in whom the
College and its friends can exhibit more confi
dence. Since the fall of 1955, Wake Forest has made
the headlines innumerable times with stories of
investigations, votes of confidence and violent
clashes among the trustees regarding the school's
administration. The publicity has been anything
but favorable, and the rumblings within the Col
lege's framework added noticeably to the troubles
of the move to Winston-Salem.
An investigation begun by the trustees into Dr.
Tribble's administration back in the infamous fall
of '55 was cut off before it was completed. Or so
the Board claims. At any rate, the findings of this
so-called investigation were never released. But
the groans of protest continued and some came
even louder.
A few critics of the president have been forth
right enough to offer a few reasonably valid reasons
for their attitudes. Still, these were at best shal
low statements that in most cases could be refuted
a.s readily as they were contrived.
The average student knows little of the work
ings of the administration; most care even less.
And yet sentiment for both sides in this Issue runs
rather high in the student body.
Perhaps there are purposes in the evasive tactics
employed by those opposing the administration
when they are faced point blank with a request
for. concrete reasons. We realize that, out of cour
tesy to all concerned, no specific information has
been released publicly.
Still, we . feel that any matter of controversy
can be settled best in the open air of fact. Many
times, a lack of information can prove more dam
aging than the truth.
If those who allegedly have strong reason to
wish Dr. Tribble removed can back up their claims,
there's no time like the present. Otherwise, they
should swallow whatever petty grudges they may
hold and quit throwing darts at the administration
of a man whose achievements speak well for him.
The, College can scarcely afford to stay in the
unfavorable rays of the public spotlight any longer.
A big question remains to be answered
Why?
