THE UNC NEWS- WEDNESDAY. JUNE 17, 1959 PAGE 2 Most Like To Secede? If Chapel Hill schools are to be improv ed and sufficient buildings and classrooms acquired, is it going to be necessary for. the towns of Chapel Hill and Canboro to secede from Orange County? If so where Avould we go? The Orange County Commissioners, who hold thepurse strings for new school construction, have dragged their feet for four years now in the face of pressing school needs here. If we have to continue to battle (and ol ten the struggle naught availeth) for only the barest subsistence budgets for schools here against a county board which regards its first duty as that of a watchdog of the treasury, what can be clone about it? One suggestion: Get out of Orange County. Secede. Join instead a new urban and industrial segment of society: the North Carolina Research Triangle! Perhaps the Research Triangle - with cities of Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill-Carrboro - would pose new and pro gressive horizons for us all, with reorgani zation of boundary lines designed to give the people of the area the maximum in service in public schools, industry, pro gress and prosperity. campus pulse and temperature: LETTERS Receiving Or Giving 1 It is better to receive than to give. In other words is it better to be a receiv ing teacher in television or a broadcasting teacher? The role of the teacher behind the mi crophone is glamorous. . But equally as important - an essential co" in the wheel - is the teacher who con ducts the class, who reveiws the lessons, who answers the questions, and who wraps up the instruction for the day. A national meeting is here now under sponsorship by the Fund for Advancement o r rrluration. Over ir,o outstanding teach ers from ir, states are in Chapel Hill. Top (lioht educational leaders in IV are on the faculty. They are appraising the experiment in in-school TV instruction which is being backed by the Ford Foundation's agency. Does Johnny learn as much or more or less with the aid of video? These facts will be determined. It is well known that the place of the "receiv ing" teacher is indispensable in the process.

Editor : She is a citizen of the United States of America and subject to the jurisdiction thereof. She is a cilizen of the State of Flor ida and subject to the jurisdic tion thereof. She has surrendered certain of her rights to these soverigns in order that they may govern her. She had agreed along with the rest of society to abide by the laws cf the sov erign. The essential clement of that agreement is that she may expect the same protection as any other party to the agree ment. In this respect race Is of absolutely no significance. She has the right as a free human being to be secure in her person against unwarranted attack and molestation. No one can deny her the privilege of r.winafiiig in a perfectly rou tine svciai iuuv . . school dance, nor can anyone endanger her security to such pleasures on the basis that the law will not extend its arm to those who molest a member of a race other than the Caucasion. Subjection to the law is direct ly proportional to protection un der the law. Perhaps this is one of the major features that lifted the Western World out of the Daik Ages. Before the law there are no classes and no races and no favorites. He is a judge. He is bound by oath to the Constitution of the United States of America and all the laws passed in pursuance thereof. He has sworn to uphold the statutes of the State of Flor ida. He is Hie learner agent of society with the duty U mete out justice as provided in the law. He must place himself above the passions of the peo ple; indeed, he must place him self above his own prejudices. Insofar as the stature of the de fendant is concerned, the judge must look at him through ob jective eyes. Such an attitude is necessary for the consistent ap plication of the laws. The judge is the example of the law. He has the duty to keep it holy, to prevent it from becoming a farce. He has the duty to set an example beyond reproach when handling this code that regulates social relation ships. If the judge does not re spect the law, the citizenry will not do so either. In the State of Florida rape is a capital crime; the punishment hich is clearly set forth in the laws of that state. Historical experience shows that the State of Florida has had no particular reservations in evoking the su preme penalty for those who have committed capital crime. It is the duty of the judge to follow an equitable course of ac tion. Let it so be. Elliott Schwarl To the Editor: The slew poke driver is mora dangerous than the speeder.
