Faubus Whit Whitfield What wc need on this campus is a newspaper calculated to make students think. We submit ihat the Daily Tar Heel does just that. Take last Wednesday for instance. On the front page was a small article entitled "Game Tickets." This in itself isn"t much of a thought pro voker, but if you had read further you would have noticed that it re r minded students that tickets to the Duke game on Nov. 16. were on sale in the Athletic Office for half price. Three thousands tickets were available to those students who made application before Saturday noon. Nov. 9. If this doesn't cause you to think, nothing xvill. In the first place, we don't play a ga nit on Saturday Nov. 16. not Duke, not Swcetbriar. not anybody. It is an open date. Even if we should find some-one to play on the date, it would be difficult of not impossible to secure the tic kets before Saturday noon, Nov. 9. since the article appeared on Wed nesday. Nov. 13. We don't doubt that this sort of tiling can be promoted, since someone is obvi ously trying it. but the question is "who?" If he gets by with it. he would be awarded an honorary deuree in advertising. A brief item in the news a few ('ays back quoted Governor Orval Faubus of Arkansas as sav ing that lie miclit be a candidate for pre sident cm a third party ticket in I .-" lie- e'on went so lar as to s;' that lie was receiving support li i in ail o cm- 1 1 if nation, includ in.1,, the north.

Education UL ABNER "Wlialsamallcr You Reiiring From Practice?'' 'ST TH. tAi T OO fOiT VIEW FROM THE HILL: The Tyranny OT The Majority Curtis Gans There may be- something to he said lor the Supreme Court's keeping its ' ear to the ground." lut there isn't much. t The- Supreme Court ;uul the judicial system under the Consti tution is the only place where the cause of individual rights may be upheld against the onslaughts of the legislative and executive de partments. As such, it is the in dividual's only safeguard against persecution and infringement on has rights under a democracy. However, it maybe noted that segregation was "right" in 1!T6. and wrong in Yi'A. The loyalty security program was "right" in the early 1950 s and tinged with wrong now . The question then arises as to what is right, and xvhether ihe concept of right in a democracy and under democratic laws is dependent on sounding out the particular climate of opinion pre vailing at the time. The judicial system has operat ed under the philosophy that in dividual rights are relative to time and hence can be suspended when the court, in conjunction with the legislative and judicial branches of the government, deems fitting with the opinion of the times. If this i a true conception of justice, then perhaps there is no justice. If the prevalent opinion in Amer ica is anti-Catholic or anti-Hebrew, then it is conceivable to suppose that freedom of religion m.-y be- suspended. If the pre valent thought of the times is that delinepients and criminals should be de-all with summarily, then it is a possibility that rights to trial by jury will be suspended. It would indeed be a sad state of affairs, if democracy would generate into this type of major ity tyranny. It has been said previously that he fundamental dilfcrence between mobocracy and democ racy is in the protection of individual lights. If these rights under a democracy are relative to time- and political elimate. there evolves a system of rights that are- not rights, but art just expressions of majority opin ion. It must be. as it is outlined in Ihe Constitution of the Lnited States and in the Rill of Rights, that there are certain fundaen'nl rights of individuals that cannot be suspended by any branches of American government at any lime. It is the duty of the courts, as the sole weapon in the arsenal of the individual in a democracy, to view these rights under a demo cracy as immutable. This brings up a philosophic question of whether this is an absolute judicial system in which judgement is only a cognitive realization of a factual situation. This is true, but only partly so. For (lie judgement depends on the framework, and after the U. S. took' its framework as it legal ( etSAsP) takE "VORE. 7EM,OR ( WEDDIN' LEAVE I V FEES J S f HAS V r-cHejC.?-) WENT Up I (they'll 7 MARRVIN' HAFTA KSAM T.rJ TAKE M.7?) ) by Al Capp 19 WEDDlN' I YJEDDV' b O'SCONftNttp $1 00 VfiDDiN' NOW C-AHSTH' CWLY MARK1IN' AAVA TH' HLLS.

A WEMARRV j S r-Cf PEOPLE S ' POGO by Walt Kelly mwj y'Jjit ' NEWS AND OBSERVER: Recall Election 81 Self-Kicking Over at Chapel' Hill for the second time in a couple" of yearsi there is a movement to recall that is to eject the editor of the student newspaper The Daily Tar Heel. Apparently students, who find that they don't agree 'with 'the editor they elected, xvant to give him the gate.' That xyas the motivation in tho case of 'two other editors they tried to remove, one of whom is now a Rhodes Scholar and the other a brilliant reporter on the Wail Street Journal. ... r .' Maybe the present editor is a very different young man. The principle is the same in his case. If the stud?nts believe in the democracy by which this young man was elected, they better hold also to principle of free expression, too. They can recal! him. But if they do thoy xvill be admitting both the failure of their oxvn democracy and their unwilling, nes's to tolerate opinions with which they disagree. They can't kick the editor xvilhout kicking themselves. premise. The laws and concepts of right are riedueible from this. However, what is right in Amer ican democracy is not necessarily right in the framework of facism. communism. or even Bristish ele-mncracy. It is right only as it is consistent with the framework of American democracy. Thus, there is a necessity for a court system to point out the in consistencies between legislation and framework. And it must be remembere-d that if consistery with segregation is either right or wrong, and not right in 1876 and wrong in 1934. It is wrong at all times that the Constitution of A-liu-rica wLh its Fourteenth A mendment prevails. Apprehension has been express es! as to the legislative function of the court, but as long as the court is not allowed to initiate positive legislation it cannot en croach on the powers of the either two branches of the govern ment. It must then stand to negate my infringements of rights. The only time right can change to wrong is when the frame work changes: i. e. a Constitutional Amendment. Otherwise Congress must be prohibited from infring ing on the powers of the court, and thus it would be unnecessary for the courts to sound out popular opinion. Only if justice is more than a bending to the popular will, can democracy be democracy. GOETTINGEN LETTER: Free Class Cuts And No Quizzes (University student Dave Davis is currently on exchange with the University of Goettingen in Germany. This communique is the first of a ser ies to be published on life in German universi ties. The Editor) Midst the gay atmosphere of autumn and a throng of bicycles, the students of Goettingen Uni versity came pourirg into their university around the first week of November. Since there are no dormitories at a German university, the students must find rooms in towns in which to live. The almost 7.000 students arf. therefore, like the buildings of the university il self, .spread completely over the town of a!ira: 100.000 inhabitants. Lectures began Nox 2, but the students 'A visit various lectures until Nov. 26. at which time they must choose their classes. During this three xveck shopping around period, the students at tend many lectures, especially those of the more well-known professors, in order to see xvhat is be ing offered. The courses offered vary each semester: stu dents attend various universities throughout Ger many, depending on xvhat is being offered at the time. It is not at all uniusual to meet students who have studied at, four or five different colleges. Student freedom is quite treasured here. No class attendance is compulsory, and no particular schedule fo courses is required for a degree. There is no burden of weekly quizzes, but only one b;g VKx- QiLfri; 1 1 examination at the end of four years, upon which the entire slate of university studies depends. One chooses his curriculum and "studies as he pleases, there being no pressure xvhatever on him. The teacher-student relation at a German uni versity is also quite different from that in the United Slates, being much more formal and re spectful. The students applaud the professors be fore and after each lecture by tapping lightly on their desks. Some professors, however, are so pop ular that even standing room is often hard to ob tain at their lectures. A long winter's study will come soon. But as rf the students at Goettingen are quite occupied' at both parties and dances, celebrating the opening of a new semester and their return to the beloved university. 1
