YOUNG Iron Curfain On The Stage t 4 Cynthia Divins Rusraa's surprisp invasion of New York took a particularly de lightful form last Thursday when the Bolshoi Ballet from Moscow took over thu Metropolitan Opera I It use. Opening their brief season with "Borneo and Juliet." they left this nation Raping at this new form of propagarda. U. ing such an art form as propaganda seems h sacrilege, but the Russians ap parently arent sent mental. Tlrs grcup is their .showpiece for the world mighty and expen d ve, an J these are adjectives which every American understands. 'Th's magnificent elfort thrives under a twelve million dollar bud get while the "Met." which now houses the Russian group, works with six million. Thus, with no real economic problems, the Bolshoi presents balleUs in their entirety, theu by taking a dim view of short ened versions of the classics. The prcblem of eo luaies is actually no real problem in the Bolshii Theater, either, lor if eight hun dred costumes are needed, (hen eighl hundrc l costumes are use I. The Bolshoi surrounds itself with forty t'ns of M-uiery. ant Ameri ca rws have never done this, even on their own ballet stages. The top s'ars in th;? Bolshoi Bal lot receive personal rewards, whol ly out of tune wi h the ion: lining Bus dan salaries. Prima ballerina Galina Ulanova commands $1500 a month for tvo to live perform ances with an extra $300 for each additional performance. A p a r t mer.ts and cars arc also ma le avail ible to performers under iuch a contract. Logically. Russians seeking th's novel level of luxury would auto matically flock to the Bolshoi Thea ter. However, only thirty dancers are admitted each year to the nine year training program, and of these, only twenty ever gra Juate. The Soviet Union is cautious in .ts moves to bestow wia.th and favor. Why have the Russian dignitarie supposed this cultural program with such extravagance? It it !ii ficult for us to see this grt,ur as a weapon, or at least a tool? The Bolshoi Ballet will pay for itself a hundred times over if with rach performance it didroy.s the "mis conceptions" of the Soviet Union in the minds of the millions of "u'. fortunates" outside the Iron Cur tain. Russia, then, through her bal let, becomes a stimulator of in tellectual and cultural growth. We are now to open our hearts to this newly discovered nation so drurk with the power cf art ra her than the power of power, as we had once supposed. For most Ameri cans, this pretended motivation is nudiies.s. but at least this ma 1 nc s is scathed in net and satin slippers. We shruld remember that the Bolshoi Ballet is a near-two hun dred year old tradition in Russia, and tradition is to be respected. If this group is being ued to prop agandize, then we must respect this, ton, for we aren't above prop agandizing a little here and there ourselves. Most important of all i.s that out of this tralkion an I propaganda comes some fine ballet-tossed in as an extra, maybe, but neveitheless there. To Spread Good Will Frank Crowlhcr Once upon a time! n'finp mnn who was a moral othicist decided that he would travel to the dark est depths of tho wrr'd's depth of darkness. lis pu"P'se: -how those cannibals the errm"; quality of their ways and ert them. Poor soul. hi happened to choose an idand of format js'ic cannibals. Now you may find it strange that cannibals could bo formalistic, but tjust think how strange Uberace ' would have looked playing for So crates' last gathering. The moral ethicist placed the fornvili.s'ic cannibals in chains. 'Now don't ask me how he did this. After all. there were only two of them and I'm telling tho story the way I want to.) He lec tured them day and night until they finally became convinced that his way was the best way and promised to mend their lives ac cordingly.

A tew s'noi t vcars ago tho farmer was Ihv i,m4 politically powerful man in .Narth Carolina. The candidates w ho won the farm black were assured of winning the state-wide elections. Today thi, is not the case, fi r the next Governor and U. S. Senator will rut have to rely so much en tiie farm votes as heretofore but must concentrate on the voters who are living in the country ana working in (he city, and thi.-.e who live in th suburbs and cities. In those days when the horses and mules were ired for the heavy tasks of the farmers in stead of tractors, production was slow and consequently more man hours were needed to produce food than is the cr.se today. With tho va:t amount :if agri cultural research tbat is being done today and the modern moe hat.iation of tin farm, less laud and f'jwer man hours are required to preduce the same amount of food. The tenant farmer who mere ly earned enouph (if he was lucky) to exist, is having to look to other fields of work. Ho i finding that he can earn many times the amount canu-d on the farm, working in industry. The two main farm organiza tions in North Carolina are the Grange and the Farm Bureau. These organizations are the only hope of the fanner to retain som political power and even these organizations will never he able to make tho farmer tho r il o'hieht and hcr dic'ried to start on a cru ado ta eonvirec the red of the world of his beliefs. Arter all, if two cannibals could be con vinced, why couldn't the wh de world. powerful political force that he ( nee was in North Carolina. The children, who are graduat ing from the rural high schools, are not returning to the farms and are looking for better pay ing and less back-breaking work. The farm and its task certainly hold no glamour for the young man or woman in tho we.rld of to c'ay. But it is essential that some one live on these farms and pro duce the food for the rest of us, if we are to exist. Those of us who arc not spend ing our lives on the farm should when we eat remember the for gotten man, the farmer. DJ3.S. FRIDAY, APRIL 24, 155? W.?r'.-7 -?!!. f i A Moderate 14 wm Mm By Rusty Hammond The Dean of Women's office and the Women's Residence Council have come through with some real jewels as .sunbathing rules for coeds. Lend an ear: they must sunbathe only on the sunporches, not on the lawn 'a little backward, but we'll let that pass), bridge playing h" disccunged" it can be diiccuraging. at times), a bath ing suit or shorts and halter must be worn (?) and here is the big winner - all "sports" are strictly prch'bited. Wonder what sports are available to 25 girls packed onto a small porch? Peter B. Young BROOKS HAYS, A SOUTHERN MODERATE SPEAKS, University of North Carolina Press, 195?, $3.50. GEORGE W. CABLE, THE NEGRO QUESTION, Doubleday Anchor, 1958, $0.95. Brooks Hays is that common American phenomenon the religious politician. As a mutual friend has put it: "Brooks has been in more smoke-filled rooms than anybody, and that's why I Vet nervous whenever he starts his confounded praying." This reviewer is not equipped to deat with the theological subtleties presented by Mr. May's unctuou.s (and ever-present) Baptist faith. But, then, the book under discussion is primarily the record of his long and color ful political career, especially where that career has either triumphed (momentarily i or foundered on "the rnce question." The political world through which Mr. Don't feel left out just because Hays has moved with such grace and fluiditv you haven't been patted on the 0 these manv vears is essenri.allv a back by Editor Young. Just come up to the DTH office, fill out an application blank, and get in line. There are only about 200 300 ahead of you at this time, and with any luck at all you may be mentioned before the year ends. Speaking oi back-slapping, we erret last time. We said "as soon as Cans and Young get through slapping each other on the back, maybe we'll get out a paper." Si.ice Gans hasn't come close to world. Mr. Hays is a very simple man. On one side are "extremists" Hubert Hump rey, Herbert Lehman, and members of the XAACP and White Citizens Councils. On the other side rve "moderates" the good guys who are "members of the lodge' and who hew to "the narrow white line down the middle." It is the Christian duty of all "moderates" to love (and chastie) all ' ex tremists" equally. The delicate process of counselling "extremists" is made infinitely easier if the counselor has a ready fund ol jet, lets change it to - As soon as Gans and Young get through slap ping Gans on the back. slapp'ng Young on the back as old vaudeville jokes. Sample: "I've been a Bantist for 2", years and nobodv is going to make a Christian out of me."' The reader will positively ache for Mr. Hays to sav "manure" when he obviously has a mouth full. The reader will also ache for Mr. H."ys to CIT MAI). But these are luxries which Christian moderates cannot afford. We realize that with it being spring and all. the young blood tarts rising, but things can go too far. Take for instance the other night when s-omc character was The unique political role which Havs racing up and down the second continues to play is that of an honest broker noor ol a men s dormitory on a motorcycle. No kiddin! Instead of a PiKA Beat Dook Pa rade, how about a Student Party Beat PiKA Parade? Finish Of Quarterly Letter (This is the final section of Mr. Trice's letter. Ed.) Editor: It is the opinion of the editors of The Onartnly that the overall quality of the material being submitted is much better than the quality of past years, and there is no reason to suppose th. t given the support of the students of the University it could not be better. It is hue that in at least one way the editors are con seivative. That is, they are hying to maintain the magazine as a means ol communicating to anyone who will read it, the better writing ol this area, as well as to perforin the most impoiiant and inc lusive function of making some significant contribution to the promotion of artistic consciousness (whether ctcative or appreciative) in the world. II this impresses m.'-ny students as relatively insignifi cant when they consider their own immediate interests and desires, they might honestly consider how valuable in terms ol these same interests and desires as they recur day after clay is, for example, a concert by the Melachrino Strings. Certainly when students can afford a trivial kind of dis traction, they can afford a little of their money and time for something which if not jvholly in practice at least in in tention is more fundamental to what makes them human beings who live in the world esscntally a'tul Chapel Hill only accidentally. JOHN K. TICE, a Editor, Carolina Quarterly The politicians were sworn in the other night, and with things the way they are we'll probably hear a lot more original, too before too long. between the equally wrong "extremists" on both sides of the civil rights issue. Each lit tle triumph in the back rooms cat the Demo cratic Party is the occasion for an exclama tion point. Thus: "When the platform wa brought before the Convention delegates, if was approved by a voice vote!" "Jo Spaikman and I were victors in the showdown vote!" And (on the occasion of a rate dcfcatV: "AH the work of the moderates went up in more swearing (and smoke!" This is, roughly, the level of politi cal analysis which is maintained throughout the book, leading one reader to comment that it should have been titled, A Southern Moderate Speaks . . . But Xot Well . "British Papers Criticize Ike." Everybody's getting into the act. From his ratified ethical heights, Havs A very odd thing happened the fcels tree to comment on the question ot other day. Anthony Wolfe actual ly reviewed a book I had read. Whatever happened to Frisbces' So the strike and violence have ended in Henderson. Or have they? Editor Young came out the oth erday against alligators at LSU. I'm with him all the way. Are al ligators citizens? Yes. Okay, then let's form a Human Citizens Coun cil and go around throwing rocks at alligators and have lynchings and things. The alligators have spotted dissenion in the human ranks. We must stick together. But we never have before . . . what the Southern Negro really wants. He guesses (and I think, correctly) that it is "official segregation, not separatism," to which the Negro objects. But what is the ul timate goal of the "moderates"? "Modera tion." alter all, is simply a tactic, a means to an end. But what end? On this crucial point, Hays retreats for the la-.st time into a fog of pious generalities. In the closing pages of his book. Hays argues fear "the American idea . . . the Jelferonian idea . . . and the Christian idea." Needless to say, this is r platform upon which loth Orville Faubus and Martin Luther King will be happy to stand. 'he Alas, I hate to end the story on sad note, but .sad it ?s. When moral ethicist released the two cannibals, they seized him an i broiled him for their dinner that night. They had been so convinced by his arguments that they ate him in order to gain his knowl edge. Moral: all crusades end in the soup bowd so always check the menu before attending dinner.

By the oddest sort of irony it will also serve to maintain the image ol Chapel Hill as "the fountain head of Southern libci alism."
