Tlic fourth republic ot France is dying
lomgiii. bulletins striauuus m proclaim the
imminence ol t!t l)e(iauHe coup.
When the thiid republic fell in hj.o be
fore the Nai tanks, iown men cried, (irown
nun aie iini tonight.
The iiouy of this li.isco is that the I)e
Caulle ov eminent will probably deal with
the Soviet lIx while the French C'omnui
niNts. fighting to sae the life of the Repul
lie, ate therefore, at leat for the moment, on
the side of NATO and the bee world's in
teiests. (Hut. ol course, should the Commu
nists and their allies win. they will immedi
ately set up a "Popular Front" government
that will also take Frame out of the Western
Alliance. litlur way. we've had it.)
Richatd Nixon received a hero's wel
come at Washington Unlay when he landed
after completing his "good will" tour of Lat
in Ametica. Nixon, .is usual, showed his
ti it k biilliame and astonishing gr;vsp of is
sues in a umaikable -ad-lib speech to the
assembled thrones of (coerced) government
al employees. Hut Mr. Nixon's astuteness is
going to be just one casualty among many
when Frame falls.
We do not think a Dcnhuiatic Admiuis
tiation would be able to solve all problems.
We know vciv well that Messrs. Ac heson and
Truman vveie guilt v ol serious mistakes. Hut
the plain truth of he matter is that our sick
Republican I tnperor has no iloihcs on. He
is naked as a jiv-bird. And the imminent
fall of Fiance :nav well be the ultimate dis-aster.-I'.HA'.
Democracy ?
Democrat v in the state suffered a crush
ing blow yesterdjv. as rhe State Democratic
Convention made a travesty of the deino
tiaiic process and the individual's right to be
beard.
Moreover, the meeting signalled the dis
organization ol the Scott wing of the Demo
nntic party in the state.
Robeit Pace was a delegate to the con
vention. Robert Pate had a right to a s:a
j'-ntl It) introduce am resolution that he so
tlesii eel.
Moreover, those Stott suportcrs. who
were so irate when Governor Hodges ap
pointed a successor, had moral obligation
to hack' Pate's stautl and demand that the
c cm cntion hear him out.
Neither event happened. Pace was de
nied his lights anil the branchhead boys for
got their principles. Hence, Governor
Hodges w; 5 able to dominate a convention
which could have very well selected a cpiali
lied successor to the late Sen. Scott.
The dav was tiving for more people than
just Robeit Pate. It was trying for all those
who believe in lepiesentativc government
ami the voice ol the" people.

What's Wanted
Ovcibeaid ; ! the state convention was the
statement. 'W'liv doesn't he (Robert Pace)
get somebody moie important to introduce
his lesolutiou?"
The answer to that question was simply
that theie was no one moie important than
Robert Pace at the convention.
Not onlv was P.ic e ;: delegate a repre
sentative of the people, but he demonstrated
moie. courage than any other individual at
the convention including all the dignitaries.
Pate being a member of the people,
should have introduced the resolution, and
Pate being the person that Pace is had all
the moie reason to introduce the resolution.
It might nor have been politically expe
dient for Pace to introduce the motion, but
at the same time, when courage was lacking
" on the p; it ol those, who should have intro
duced the lesolutiou. Pace tiad the courage.
In lac t, Pat e proved himself to be bigger
than any of the politicians aMhe convention
bv his actions on the floor and at the caucus
meeting: that preceded the convention.
i'Hob Pat e is very important man indeed.

Among the Student Legislature there are members who felt
that their action in passing the UNCARC bill should have been final.
They had convinced themselves that the club had all of the quali
fications necessary to make wise and effective use of $2000 of the
student's money.
When at 7:30 Tuesday evening, they learned that Don Furtado
had vetoed their precious bill, they were up in arms. Any appreciation
for the; position of the executive in a checks and balances system was
lost and a hue and cry of "who does he think he is?" was up.
Later on during the evening, after other matters of a routine na
ture had been taken care of, the matter was brought up.
t - , ,
The time lapsed acted, as a cooling off period, for by the intelli
gent discussion that ensued from the floor and the effective point.;
brought out pro and con. it was apparent that the legislature wa
legislating again.
Purtado's act had its proper effect, that is to have the body
reconsider the legislation which jie thought to be ill advised. A parade
of . faces marched up to the rostrum and back to their seats, and the
body voted again.
This time a two-thirds vote was needed.
It wasn't available.
This action leaves the UNCARC in a position of challenge.
Now the club has a chance to prove to this column and to th?
Student Legislature that it wasn't just a flash in the pan. but a real
effort to provide an effective and needed service to the student
body.
Here is, a box score of other action taken by the 25th assembly o
date:
Subject: Action taken on the subject of the legislature itself;
The speaker was given the power to appoint the delegations selec
tions board for the State Student Legislature. A Bulletin board was
set up in Y-Court and others approved to have legislature news post
ed. The residence requirement for legislators was temporarily sus
pended. Introduction of legislation at the "last minute or to meet a
sudden need was simplified. ' ' .
Subject: Action taken on bodies under the jurisdiction of the
legislature; Opposition was expressed to rules which apply to fresh
men only. The jury selection committees of the Honor System Com
mission were increased in number? Seven Cents a mile was establish
ed as a standard for UNC sponsored travel. Membership in the NSA
was increased to 12 persons. The by laws of the Student Council were
approved. The election laws were temporarily suspended' and a com
mittee set up to re-write them. The membership of the Men's Honor
Council was increased temporarily to eight members. The Consoli
dated University Student Council was increased to seven appointed
members.
Subject: Money bills; $85 to delegates to the NSA regional con
vention. $100 to the visiting Iranians. $12o to the IDC. $150 for the
Daily Tar HecL $85 to the High School Honor Council Committee.
$100 to the NSA Summer foreign student conference.
Subject: Miscellaneous; A committee was established to study
the rising dorm rent, problem. The constitution and by laws of the
UNCARC were approved. A. paved walk was requested for the street
behind, Emerson Stadium. Trash cans were requested for the campus
And past student body officers were praised for their work.

Mr. Martin:
Re: Your letter in Tuesday's DTH.
If you will examine the title of
the Church, you will find "Pro
testant Episcopal Church", not
Episcopal Protestant Church. We
arc protestants in that we arc
protesting against some of the
practices of the Church in Rome,
but not against Catholicism. You
will find repeated throughout the
Book of Common Prayer the word
Catholic".
I would r.ow like to ask you.
Mr. Martin, how many protestant
churches observe the Seven Sacre
ments: Baptrsm, Confirmation.
Holy Eucharist Penance. Holy
Matrimony. Ordination, and Unc
tion? How many proiestant sects
have Bishops. Priest, and Dea
cons of the Apostolic Succession?
How Many Protestant groups
hae Monastic Orders? How ::any
Protestants believe in the Real Pre
sence. in Holy Communion? How
many Protestant churches claim
for their ministers the power of
Absolution? These are Catholic
practices and beliefs, not Protes
tant. And all are incorporated in
the Dogma and Doctrine of the
Protestant Episcopal Church of
the United States of America and
throughout the world-wide Angli
can Communion. We arc truly
members of the One, Holy, Catho
lic and Apostolic Church.

We have come to one of those periods in history
when a psychological gulf is widening between or
dinary people and their government in many coun
tries. It is a period in which governments across the
East-West line see each other as er emies. Because
their responsibility for security naturally obsesses
them, they have little or nothing to chance, rarely
give their supposed enemies the benefit of the doubt.
In the meantime, their citizens, through ignorance
or perhaps through an instinctive, faith that is the
ultimate wisdom, less and less regard each other
with fear andsuspicion. .
Here we have the spectacle of thousands of
Americans officially taught that Russia implacably
plots our downfall her citizens all indoctrinated to
that end-warmly receiving a Russian dance company
in New York; over there, the spectacle of thousands
of Russians, officially taught that Americans are
culturally barbarians, giving standing ovations to
a young Texan who plays the piano.
The two governments hurl official charges and
counter-charges at one another every day; but vir
tually eyery private American who goes to "Russia
experiences polite curiousity' at the very least from
privat Russians. Virtually every private Russian
' who comes here has the same experience. Human
beings! in the flesh are no longer alien and forbui
ding. 1 lore and more this push and drive toward
flesh-Jnd-blood acquaintance continues by the efforts
of private people and their various organizations.
This reporter spent part of the weekend with a
very old, very respected Hindu ascetic and philos
opher, the Shankaracharya of P'uri. In the thousand
year Hxistence of his religious order, he is the first
of it leaders to take himself overseas, in spite of
his age and infirmities. He has spend weeks now,
talking with Americans collectively and singly. His
travels reinforce his faith that all religions are the
same at bottom; that all human beings are the same.
IJi is acutely aware of what another great war
woui do to end the human story on this earth. He.
,doesnot think that one great power will suddenly
attack the other great power. He fears a spark some
where, a spreading flame: of hysteria and passions
with governments then becoming the led not the
leaders. So. he feels we.haye.no choice. but to try
to know one another, as human, beings.
Editor:
The school year 1957-58 has
drawn to a close." We, the authors
of this letter have been harbor
ing these thoughts and criticisms
for this length of time. We sin
cerely hope that these conditions
will be remedied with the institu
tion of a modified dorm advisor
system. The following is a list,
rather hastily compiled, of our
major complaints, all violations of
our own honor code.
(1) I. D. C. money being spent
for alcoholic beverages and be
ing listed as food expenditure.
This money is used by a' few at
the exclusion of many.
(2) Nightly consumption of
large quantities of alcoholic bev-
'erages in the dorm.
(3) Absolutely no quiet hours
observed.
(4) Cooking in rooms.
(5) Those who should maintain
and uphold e dorm rules' are
just those who are either com
mitting these infractions direct
ly, or through inaction are re
sponsible for the perpetration of
these violations.
You may ask why we did not
report these violations earlier.
One is greatly deterred in report
ing., a person in authority to a
higher authority. When a man who
is supposed to prevent these in
fractions of rules, partakes in the
infractions, who are we to turn
him in?
We would at this point, like to
recommend a type of. dormitory
system which we know is suc
cessful. A system similar to this
should be adopted at U.N.C. At
its head is a Resident Advisor.
This advisor is paid several thous
and dollars a yeai plus room and
board. He neithe r takes nor
teaches classes. He is in charge
of all functions of the dorm and
is directly responsible to the ad
ministration of the University.
Under this man comes an as
sistant advisor. He . may be a
graduate student. He is paid a
smaller salary plus room and
board.
On each floor is a student resi
dent advisor. He is given only
room and board. He is the link be
tween th student and the dorm
administration. He enforces the
regulations r.nd is responsible to
the assistant advisor.
This system is. of course, de
signed for a much larger school,
Under this system it is possible
for a roan to be "campused."
You may cry an anguished, "No!
Not at Carolina!," but gentle
men, this system works.
It has not been our purpose,
through this letter, to cause dis
comfort or discredit to anyone,
but merely to point out a great
There is no guarantee of peace on this road of
personal and cultural exchange and intermingling.
After all, the British, the French, the Germans lived
injustice to the men of Stacy dorm close together geographically, intermingled in great
and to the rest of the school as numbers, absorbed each other's thought and culture
well. It is hoped that the adminis- to a very considerable degree yet they came t3
tration will take heed of this let- blows, time after time. This road can guarantee no
ter and think not in terms of safe destination for peoples so alien, in distance and
punishment now but in terms of history, as the Russians and Americans, but it can-

Dear Itfr. Wolff;
I have just finished reading
your article, "View and Preview,"
dated .May 14, concerning, "the
future of the Department of. Dra
matic Art and the Playmaker or
ganization." I am amazed at your talent for
writing vague generalities and
your capacity for bad taste.
It is obvious that you know even
less, if possible, about what is
happening" backstage than you
know about what is happening' ON
stage.
"With ' all due respect to the
present" critic, I am ashamed
for you.

Dear Mr. Wolff:
not harm the prospect to take this road; it can
only help. The more our respective people know
one another in the flesh, the more inclined they
must be to extend the benefit of doubts, the less in
clined about each . other in times of incident an 1
crisis. Perhaps that is all these exchanges of per
sons and thought can do. But that is something, an i
it is something positive at a time when the gov
ernments themselves appear, stalled at dead and
negative center.
How many people, of any country, really believe
that the politics-weapons way is the lasting solution
to finFing peace? Probably not very many. How cle
explaai why, in a period when they are drenched
in tall of weapons as the key to security, a majority
of Aif ericans still want to see the East-West lea l
ers sjt down in a summit meeting? Such a meetin
now., may be a great mistake; the timing may I
quiteg.vrong. But this popular feeling both here ani
abro persists and grows. Perhaps it is, irf eed. a
ref lefiion of the ultimate wisdom. Ft?r insider
whr even the governments would be, consider
thef Aorld prospect, if the popular feeling were
aga-ifst such meetings, against personal and cultural
intermingling. Then, surely, even the faith in human
sanitf of such a man as the Shankaracharya wou'd
be gravely shaken. From The Saturday Review

I congratulate you on your
article concerning the Carolina
Dramatic Association. In my op
inion, the Playmakers have ceased
to be an active organization and
are now a decadent one. A fine
example of this was at the recent
CDA Contest Play Convention held It was brought to my attention today rather a )-
here several weeks ago. Is it not ruptly just how well accepted our school paper i
strange that 6 .of the 10 first in Chapel HilL The paper even the town people
