Ol course, the reproduction shows the lit-up hue ol the sjeak er ma, be his hand il it's liili enough who looks like a startled K.u Klux Klansman photographed in an open lield in the blackness ol midnight. This kind ol photography has no life. It is not ood lor news papeis. And it leaves the impres sion that photo lab photographers have no more originality than to photograph their subjeits in. a statue-like erectness Irom behind a speaker's stand. A photographer who subscribed ahv.ixs to tliis practice on a daily newspaper could not lonn hold his job. He must realize that there is more to a picture than a con--t last between black and white, that ;" jjooei picture has chatacter and life. l'hoto lab photographers also should realize- this. Some day one of them ma be taking pictures for a jood newspaper. Or another may appear rt the .rniversity ol North Carolina as a speaker on the Sunposiinn Week slate. - We feel that, in the latter case, our visitor deserves a vimewhat better display in our daily news paper than that which the current photographers now a I ford their subjects.

Student Shortage In The Making? W'e aree with Dr. Ilen'iamin l ine that salaiics lor school teach-c-is should be raised, but not neces sarily to the- extent which he h;.s pi ojmjsccI. In an address heie I ridax niht, he said salaries should be tripled, with a ratine ol S 10,000 to S20.000 annually per teacher, if education is to ;et the caliber of teachers which ;i 'cMtd sxstem recjniies. Well, we know a lot of teachers who .seaic ely earn their c urrent salaiies. The numbers ate so reat nationally that to replace them really would c reate a "el; :i.;eroiis teacher bottleneck." Teaching panic tilai ly on lia.h s liool Iexel. should be re paid on a scale proportional to that of other professions which requite equal training. resj)onsibilities and time spent on the job. Thai pax scale is not now proortioual. Howcxer, the scales should not be- tipped too far in the teacher's diuction. That ptofession. while iiiipoitaut. does not and will not unixersally incorporate personnel who deserve S20.000 per year. And just watch. II that fabulous amount exer becomes the norm lor teat hers' salai ies, our country will be so overrun by teachers that they'll be complaining about a stu dent ;lioitage. Preservation By GAIL GODWIN It is a sure thing that not many boys read GLAMOUR magazine, but if they can sneak a glance at one xvhen their fnenas aren't look ing, they might profit from a lit tle article in this month's issue. Douglas Fairbanks, the suave, sophisticated? mannerly man of two cou&jients has some helpful hint.Mthus.e-,,xvho want to suc ceed with the ladies as Fairbanks undoubtedly has succeeded with people in general. "Manners," says Mr. Continen tal, "stem from the instinct of self-preservation. That is, if I con sider you, maybe you'll consider me. It's the best way of getting on and may xve all get on until xve blow each other, up." What a let-down when we meet a young man who has that Fair-bank-ish look about him and then turns not to be the type that bounces along beside you on the sidewalk on the wrong side; or. when you go out to eat, says to you: "Well, tell the waitress xvhat you want, honey,;" or, when it comes time to get out of a car, says "Slide out on my side so I won't haxe to go around." 'And so you squish under the steering wheel with your eleven crinolines.) Fairbanks has even circumvent ed the familiar "Bring us another beer, Joe." He glances at his com panion and says "Let's have the other half of this." "That way, tender young coeds won't feci like alcoholics, boys. It has been said by arrogant males that women have lost the riuht to demand chivalry by their desire to intrude into the man's world. It has been said by arrogant college males that there is no place for all this chivalry in the informal life of the campus. No. maybe it is sort of difficult to treat a lady like a powderpuff in long skirts when she is xvear ing bermuda shorts made just like yours. But I haxe heard lots of com plaints about some of our brothers who lack manners, and I liaxe nexer heard a girl despair because Johnny treated her like a princess. The day has still not come when the fair sex will pass up Fair banks the Flatterer for Ulysses the Uncouth. My ' swks too J Ashmore: The South s Mr. Courage II happened in a crcwdej streetcar one evening recently. A gallant pa.si-enger shifted his bun dles, arose, 'pretended to take of! his hat, and said to an equally if not more burdened female stand er. Man Won t you take my seat, madam? Lady Oh. thank you so much! I ll take the. seat with pleasure, but I don't want you to stand up. Man Gee, lady, I'd like to ac commodate you in both xvays but what xvould people think if you were to sit on my lap? The Durham Sun By DAVIS YOUNG Harry Ashmore's appearance on campus last week is one this school cannot afford to soon forget. The modest and quiet editor of the Arkansas Gazette should have besn a great example of raw courage for this student body. - He typified the old song-' Laugh ing on the outside and crying on the inside" for this is how he seem ed. He was amused at the mention of Harry Golden's "vertical plan for desegregation," but his heart was heavy as he talked of the strife and hate now residing in his town of Little Hock. He laughed when a spectator ques tioned him about a small anti-segre-gation paper being printed in Pedal, Miss., but shook his head when talk ing of the use of federal troops in integrating Central High School. In recent months many of the citizens of Little Rock spearheaded by such great institutions as the White Citizen's Council and the pre Orval Faubus faction have organiz ed a boycott of his paper causing great financial loss to his firm. It is common knowledge that Har ry Ashmore has been threatened .many times since the "October Re volution." He claims that most of these adverse inclinations are the work of "crackpots," but xve wonder if this is so. He Is rejected in his own city by a great majority of the population. He is found unacceptable by the Na tional Association for the Advance ment of Colored People. Many in the North don't understand his stand and are confused. He has becn heard to say that "the Souths besetting problem is not the accommodation of the rising aspirations of its Negro people, dif ficult as that may be, but its in f.bility to reduce the issue to ra tional terms." This has been the work that Har ry Ashmore has so long tried to do only to be rejected at every turn by every faction. Time and again during the fall, aid since, he has risked his life, economy and position to take an un popular and often dangerous stand Q.u. the current racial problems con fronting us in the South today. America needs more people like him and the field of journalism could iise more of the type of honor and devotion to principle displayed by Harry Ashmore. His proposals may be open for attack and his methods for scorn, llexvever, his integrety and sincere interest in this great problem con fronting us all cannot be doubted. If Senator Kennedy exer xvrites a second edition of "Profiles in Cour age," I proudly nominate Harry Ashmore.

CARLTON It has been said that America is a nation of organizations. :This appears to be correct. Take no:e of the number of clubs that have sprung up in our communities. There's the Society for Propagation of Young Duffers; Alcoholics Unanimous;. Coeducation al Camping Corps (meets in the arboretum each night); and many others. It is therefore not sur prising that there should be a departmentalization involved in our dining habits. It is to a consideration of this aspect of campus life that xve shail turn our attention,;? -f'j ;f'J i' ' The ''denizens' of the dining: hall fall into seven l ,main categories. These groupings revolve about the .various schools of 'trie' University. For instance the Lawyers, the Zoologists (a merry crowd,) the Boat anists (or is it Botanists) the Geologists, d.a. s and others. Of course there is a body made up of those unfortunate individuals who don't belong to one of the exclusive circles. These are to be pitied and relegated to the oblivion of small tables situ ated in the center of the room. The elite always retire to some corner of the establishment, whence they can observe and ridicule in comparative seclu sion. A typical evening , at Lenoir begins about five thirty. Up until this time there has arrived a sprink ling of the "uninitiated," but no major force has appeared on the scene. At approximately five-thirty-one, the influx begins. First the geologists appear in typical klcndike style, dumping an assortment cf rock hammers and peajackets in the foyer, then noisily stomping into .the room in their blue jeans and hiking boots. These characters roar through the line like a plague, snatching food from the counter and entertaining the general public with shouts of "Go on, cut ya off a little pieee," and "pax-ass the buttah." They finally settle down to eat. One of them is quite enterprising and soon sets up a 203 transit for the purpose of Uking some topogra phic measurements. The territory in question is in the form of a blonde across the room. This in addition to the classification of the general collec tion of rocks that each has secreted on his person. It is a harrowing experience to eat xvith these peo ple since they toss these missies from one end of the table to the other during this, display of academ ic devotion, and there is nothin; less conducive to good digestion than the sight or' a goodly lump cf quartzite passing overhead. No sooner has this minor tornado subsided than the Dramatic Arts group enters. This is undoubted ly the most versatile aggregation on campus. Each has his mark of distinction, be it a beard, shaggy hair, unorthodox clothing (grcefi' "ties and purple shirts) or peculiar mannerisms. Thisroup occupies another large table and carries on animated con versation. Their after dinner activity consists of re enacting duels from "Hamlet" an'Ca'esar's murder in which several innocents are 'usually receive - wounds. (And don't you think it ifn't !hard to draw blood xvith a 'butter knife,' either.)'"'1 1 1 ''"'' Meanwhile, the lawyers enter ih ii dignified pro cession, each with his briefcase, rand'quietl dis cuss the business at hand. Their rhetoric is often inspiring, hoxvex'er. On a certain occasion, it is said, a young blood, enraged ox-er somlIf?d point, leap ed upon the table in .tradjtioniAlitnfcin style and discoursed at great length upon the inhumanity of man. Eventually someone yelled "Threw him a fish," at which rejoinder the young man stepped down, the picture of dejection, and began to sepa rate the spaghetti from his shoelaces and pants cuffs. They say that his habeas corpus xvas found suspended from a light fixture the next day. Among the larger groups that infest the chow hall is the I.L. Literate College Cuisiniary. This mob, composed of alumni of a nondescript junior college, constantly annoys the populace by its very mode of dining. Their adaptation is that of FOS (Female Ob servation System.). At the approach of suitable mat erial, all activity ceases, cups suspended in midair and forks halfway to the mouth. All heads are sxviveled and eyes trained on the approaching ob ject. The heads rotate in unison as the target pas , es, undulating delightfully (or rolling like an LST in a heavy sea), and, if the situation xvarrants. a spontaneous -sigh ascends from the group. The.i normal activity is resumed. Most of the inmates of this group are resolutely dedicated to. the premise of liberty, loving, and liquor. Just recently they were hatching a plot against the University which called for the impeachment of Bill Thursday, and the installation of Percy Flowers as president. I believe they dropped it, since Flowers declined the offer, he being detained elsewhere. The Zoologists are not too popular xvith the popu lace as a whole, for they usuallv enter wearing blood-stained lab coats, often carrying some home work in the. form of dissecting pan containing some Zoological specimen (a shark for instance). Their eating habits .amount to minute dissections of each morsel of food. One disconcerting eventuality is the discovery of some minute parasite in the meat products being served. Last in our consideration, but certainly not less notorious than any of theiry predecessors, is the ; large aggregation- of Buttonists that perpetrate themselves upon the group in Lenoir Hall. The Bottomists usually appear in a clatter of Vasculums. , attired in muddy field trip clothing and ungainlv boots. They elbow their way through ; the queue, , assembling platefuis. of .the vegetabes which are . their stock and trade, and settle like a dark cloud m one corner. Immediately the mumbling of num bers can be heard emanating their vicinity. These sounds can be traced to two oversized sporophytes of the group, who have worked out a classification system for all the females on campus. As one enters they rattle of flier classification and floral formula, (measurements., the layman). Occasionally you can spot one;dissecting an english pea in search - of the cotyledons.-(They're real hard to find.) After ; meals. they simultaneously light up and disappear : in a dense cloud of smoke. Under this cover they -are-free-to discuss their latest projects, such as . the installation of parking meters on the benches of the arboretum and construction of a cocktail lounge-(complete w-ith hi-fi and tv) for the prupose . of holding seminars. f Such is : the: life at Lenoir. Needless to say it is a rare privilege and an edifying and enriching ex perience to dine:among the cultured folks who patronize -such an establishment.--1 highly recom mend that -students, one and all eat at-the Rathskeller.
