CAROLINA CARROUSEL: Chest Flat & Pat For Frat: Alliteration Gail Goodwin One of the dissenter's favorite m?thods for proving an opponent Who's Next On The B & O? o f context Ry doing this he can make black become or an op ' ponent's idea I wTong it to I lift words. vw S if nhras!ls or "i I '1 clauses out fit Ji while, baseball bee: me football, girls become boys, and editors be come incompetent. This method was employed mo! skillfully in the Monday night "open house" tor those who aspirod to the editorship of the DTII. An eloquent young political whirlwind zo.imed through a nu mber of random-picked editorial headlines which, lie felt, would display the incompetence of th? editors. This kind of incriminating "ph rase plucking" intrigued me. so I immediately went to the bark files of the DTII and extracted these sensible slogans, taken mostly from the Kraar-Y.nler re gime. 1. "The word on kowtow for Snollygosters." This leaves no doubt in the mind of the reader as to the exact content of the editorial. 2. "Say 'Ougir "What for? 3. "A lance for great worm fafner" is fafner really a worm that crawls on the grass, or is the nasty old editor ' picking on people" by calling them worms? 4. " A flat chest? Wo hope not" this has to tin with the commun ity chest, not Dior. 5. "A pat for frats and a boo' for bulls." This shows a little ingenuity in headline writing and besides that it rhymes. There fore it must be written by a ihildish person. It is not chill, enough. 6. "When empiricism won't Bather Aunt Fanny" here the editor has committed the unfor givable sin of using a word that college students with a ninth grade level vocabulary will not understand. And who is Aunt Fanny? Nobody knows, so they read the editorial to find out. Unforgivable. On the basis of judgement that our political orator is using, these headlines ar? ambiguous, too polysyllabic, and a direct sign of incompetence. Maybe we should have some kind of a retroactive recall to sort of theoretically kick out all former Tar Heel editors who have dared to be different both in their editorial headlines and in their policies. Which is more intereting- A colorful, controversial, cheerful, chanting, charming, commanding college communication. Or a dull, drab, dutiful, demi god run, dry Daily Tar Heel?

T4 ' tM-' 9 1 I t -w'T- 1, k- stAPmt VIEW FROM THE HILL: Censorship, Morality & Democracy By Curtis Gans Censorship had its ops and downs during the past week, as the Catholic clergy, announced that it would step up its fight against ' obsoeuity",- . and Congressmen and Adrviirtfsffatiort officials pro nounced -that "they would try to cut out some of the restrictive bar riers around scientific information. Censorship should only have its downs. There are two types of censor ship involved here. The first, upheld by the Catholic clergy and the state of North Carolina, is of "obscene" literature of every sort. The second has to do with the witholding of government in formation to the public at large and other allied countries. Both types of censorship are inconsis tent with democracy and the free transit of ideas. In the first case, the upholders of censorship purport to say that literature and magazines material can be categorized as clean or obscene. There is no dividing line between the two, and the dividing line that one individual or group erects in a democracy, may not conform to the conception of a dividing line held by another group. The rights of each and fvery individual in a democracy must be protected. The rights of each individual to rejid. write, and pub lish what he wants is one of the richts guaranteed in Amendment I of the Constitution in the clause concerning freedom of the press. Yet. the church has raised li'era ture as a moral issue. The state of North Carolina has done the same. Modern bestseller's such as Peyton Place are banned from the shelves of Durham book stores. Other more serious works have been banned for quite a while from the State Department libraries abroad, for no better reason than they expressed ideas contrary to American democracy. But it is quite contrary to Amer ican democracy to withold any idea from anybody. Only the in dividual can impose restrictions on his reading and writing. As for the morality question, it may be fairly common know ledge that morality cannot be legislated, for the time that some one sets up something as forbid den fruit, is the time that some body else wants to taste. More over, there is no one in the world to judge what is moral and what is immoral, for things are only mor al and immoral in respect to their consistency or inconsistency with the credo of the individual. There is no thuoght or idea that is in consistent with freedom of thought, speech, and press ni American democracy. Moreover, to ban books as ob scene, speaks tor the immaturity of Americans nnd the incapability of parents to give their children a set of values that will insure thorn from any harm that these immoral" books purport to give. For if the sense of what is right' and good is instilled in the people of America, then there can be no danger from Escapade or the Marxist Manifesto. Those who believe in living a life in con formance with Puritanical tradi tion may read the "obscene" magazine without worry of harm. The person who sincerely believes in democracy will see thet incon sistencies of the Marxist doctrine. It is only for those who are naturally weak in a moral sense that censorship is created, and the creation is a denial of both the rights of the strong and the weak. In a democracy the free inter change of ideas must be preserved, for it is only through this that democracy can be improved. It is basic to a realistic educa tion to present all sides not only one. and the confidence of the people of America in themselves can only be expressed if they leave themselves the opportunity to choose between good and bad. Without freedom of choice democracy cannot exist. It is only through having no bars that the ideas of each citizen may be tested against the ideas of every other citizen Moral censorship of any sort is inconsistent with democracy. It must be stopped. L'lL ABNER by Al Capp (-HAPPY DREAMS sBOUT AD HAWKINS AY CHILE. N TH' REAL-LIFE RACE- yO' FACES STARK.

Dad had seen hi, coming and met him on the back porch. Inside could not hear them talking but I saw Nathan point to the barn a couple of times. When Dad came back in he drank his c:fief f quickly and grabbed his coat, then before he wer.: out the door ha looked at me and my brother, Ed. saying '.'Men, come on with me, I may need you." ; He grinned at us then,' the way he always did when he called us "men." Outside the rain was soft and cool and the wind t. blew it Jn smoky gusts across tin? barnyard ar.d 1 up. across the rear lawn of the house past th? apple trees, green and shining in the damp. It was dry and warm and hay-animal-smelling untbr ihe she! ter of the big eld shingle topped barn. My brother and I, both r.f us just kids, s!o,d there with the old colored man, Nathan, and watch ed as Dad, went ins:de the stable padd;ck wh:rt C the big gentle jersey cow lay, breathing hard. Ed $ and I knew that a calf was going to be b itn her btU we had never 5?:en it happen and n., Had h.; brought us here to be a part of it.

I could tell that he was anxious about us and that he would make u.s leave if he thought it was bothering us at all.
