THE UNC NEWS- -WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 12, 195S -PAGE 2 Does Nick Like Football? Should Khrushchev be invited to Chapel Hill? Governor Hodges has already said "Rarkis is wiHiu' " and that the Tar Heel 'State "will put out the welcome mat in a dignified how-de-do if President Eisenhow er wants to route the Russian dictator in this direction. One big thing wll be: What does Khushchev want to see. Maybe he wants to see a football game. All right, Clemson plays Carolina in Kenan Stadium on Septemler 19. UNC plays Notre Dame in South Bend the Saturday -after -Khruschev could attend either game. Where else should Khruschev go? Many people will suggest the usual things like The Statue of Liberty, Holly wood, Las Vegas, Detroit automobile plants, Washington and the White House. But maybe the Soviet leader would like to be on a TV show perhaps the Gary Moore hour when panelists could guess "What's My Secret?" If he goes to New Orleans, what are we going to do about Earl Long? These suggestions are passed along for what they are worth something for State Department people to worry over in their spare time.

One For The Road One of the most frequently expressed questions in Chapel Hill these days is: "When are we going to get air-condition- in r?" Some offices are already' comfortable air-cooled and conducive to work and studv. A few classrooms are equipped with window conditioners or larger devices for lowering the temperature. It is a common topic of casual discuss ion among the faculty. Students talk alxmt it all the time. Ask a siudent, or anyone else, for the "Inquiring Photographer" what are the main things That can be done to improve the efficiency of summer sdrool, and ihey will answer "air-conditioning." Since this is so, it would seem that the problem could be approached two or three ways. 1. (iet an air-conditioning firm to fin ance a research project in the University to shmv how much better classes would be with aircondrtioning and without how much more efficiency is realized how much more work is put out. 2. These finding could be translated info money saved. 3. Stiidies could be made into how large-scale purchasing could be effected to install better means of air-conditioning at lower costs. WAYNE THOMPSON Off The Cuff Some days it just doesn't pay to get out of bed! Keeping pace with College Joe in the classroom is one thing, but -when you have to fcring in an interpreter from Bcpville to translate a conversa tion rvr coffee that's carrying this collegiate venacular too far. A peak into Webster's Ne 'Coregiate Dictionary didn't help, but an 18 -year old freshmen, heppedu? on rhythm 'n blues ard joy pills did. It was a struggle, but three cups cf stimulus from the java bean and four cigarettes later I managed to define the follow ing terms: Mickey Mouse: Anything that is beneath the dignity of a man cf letters . . . namely a college student. An act enjoyed only by those of high school intellect. Panic Button: An intangible t'evice designed to alleviate the rigorous pressures of the class rcom. Especially in evidence x'urin? exam periods and in Murphcy Hall, home of the Romance languages. Carolina Gentleman: The da I;ng Tnale who is true to chival ry until the last five minutes of . his date. Also a guy who opens a car door for a coed, slams it cn his finger, and excuses him se!f for bleeding on her new !ress. Cr.Mp Jazi: This one fooled me. Has nothing to do with trusic. A flexible term that re fers to anything spoken, written or acted out on a college cam pus. A rig: An unlattering term turd to distinguish an undesir able cr(yj from the other kind. Easily identified if asked to find rrr ?.y around the Arboretum at night. Good Personality: A subtle way to iescr.be the preceding phenomena when arranging a blind date. A Loser: I coughed on this one. It means what it says, de scribing anything, breathing or otherwise, that doesn't win. A Lover: Guy who kisses on the first date and tells. Shot Out of, the Saddle: Ex perience suffered by a lover after his story gets back to his first and last date. Make Out: Several transla tions available. Often misinter preted, but common definition hints a compatible relationship be'ween a dating couple who frequent GLmgciuhl Castle, the Arboretum, and Kenan Woods. Puritanical Wench: A coed who likes to date in groups. Drag: Anything that promotes sleep. Crip: An academic test for ditch-d;?gers and college stu dents with Q. P. deficiencies. Beatnik: Who knows? They're so far out they can't even de fine themselves. Aniir.als: The Greeks called 'em men, the English called 'em knights, the Indians called 'em warriors, the sports world calls 'em gridders. and college people cheer them on Saturday and throw them peanuts every other day of the week. Pad: A place of leisure for people of leisure. Blast: An ecstatic form of chaos enjoyed by thrill-seeking college students and terminated by nothing short of an H-Bomb blast, complete inebriation, or Ray Jeffries. Intellectual Snob: Distinguished from an ordinary sncb by one factor above lifted nose is a brown spot. Gung-Ho Student: Disgusting individual who always sets the grading curve on quizzes. Out-to-Lunch: Describes a per son unfamiliar with college life who takes a coffee .break, -con verses and can't find an inter preter. Odd Bali: Same individual when he gets up and Ceavcs. Brown Nose: A student, who after bringing an apple to the professor, hangs arcund after class and helps him eat it. SpasHc: One who attempts to walk a straight line from South Building to the Library and ends up at Woollen Gym. Also a stu dent who fails P. E. three se mesters in a row. Bug Out: Something I should've done 25 paragraphs ago. but then maybe someone shares my problem. Like the man said, "some days it just doesn't pay to get out of bed!" "The institution of social drinking is one of the greatest menaces our society faces to day." Thus spake II. Millard Jones last week at the annual con vocation 'of North Carolina Friends. Mr. Jones, by the way, is chairman of the Committee on Public Morals, and so speaks from a position fairly bristling With authority. Now, there are some non- friends of Mr. Jones who might feel inclined to take him to task for exploiting a menace as relatively innocuous as soci al drinking when our society is mostly alarmingly threaten ed by the triple terrors of Communism, nuclear warfare, and Christianity. But, 6n second thought, "Mr. Jones might have something there, after all. For, if you take the time to analyze each of these triple terrors, you will find that Khruschev drinks vodka by the cellarfull, that enly a drunken man would be witless enough to start a nu clear war, and that Christians partake of wine regularly. So if Mr. Jones can be criti cized at all, it can only be for understating his points. Social drinking is, in fact, the great est menace our society faces today. And what's going to be done about it? My guess is, nothing at least not for a long time. You take a habit as chronic as social drinking, and you just don't root it out overnight. Might as well tell pretty girls to stop shaving their armpits. But somebody's got , to set the pace, and I can't think of a better institution to institute the substitution of the institu ion of public sobriety for the institution of social drinking than the institution of higher learning. In other words, us. And don't think we haven't ot our work cut out for us. You take the fraternities, now. Here you have the teeming hotbed of debauchery, depravi ty, and ultimate destruction. No doubt you never thought how every time a fraternity throws, a party, society is be ing menaced. Even the "Stu dent Party never thought -of that. Think of it. And when you're through thinking of that, think of all the local beerhalls that will have to be padlocked or quar antined or burned to the ground before we can feel even halfway de-menaced. Bet you ' never thought, either, why you have to go down steps to get to the Tempo Room or Rath skellar. Stens down to Hell, brethren. Sin and Degradation. It's not a very bright pros pect, is it? Well, no one said it was. Ridding society of its greatest menace is a pretty big order for any man, but some body's got to carry the torch, somebody's got to fight fox a better world. Somebody's got to keep tip with Mr. Jones. SUNBURN A South Carolinian, bored with the drive back to the Hill recently, counted all the white lines in the highway from Che raw, S. C, back here. Accord ing to his count, there are 11, 734 white lines over the J20 mile route. Anyone care to double check him? Scenic UNC has added an other gem to its list of tourist attractions. Thanks to recent floods, two canyons now pa rallel the drive between Eve rett and Joyner. So far no hikers have been lost, but two cars, a UNC laun dry truck and a campus dog have disappeared into their depths. HEIGHT OF CONCEIT: Ru mor, has it that the girls on third floor Alderman now an swer the house phone with, "This is Heaven, which -angel would you like to speak to?" A feature story in the news papers recently commended today's college student as much tamer than those of past years. Included was the comment that. In past days, students at the University of North Caro lina "shot up the place." If higher mathematics are bothering you, why not rent, the Univac 1105? Price: some where around $400 an hour. What price passing? One lady employe of the University finds a little irony in the coming visit of Miss North Carolina to the campus for her "Intellectual - day." Says lady: "Everybody else coming to the campus gets greeted by the Chancellor or President, but Miss North Car clina gets greeted fcy theTJi- By STAN FISHER rector of Development." Seems development has been progressing rather favorably, if TV can be trusted for an ac curate picture. One student says that by lis tening to popular songs, "Bat tle of New Orleans," "Ten Thousand Drums" and "John ny Rcb," he can learn more history than by going to class. Maybe so, but does he get ny sleep? Fayctteville radio station has gone all out for recruiting whh the suggestion to "Join the National Guard and see Vance County." , HUif? Soap and education are not as sudden as a massa cre, bui they are more deadly in the Jong run. (The Facts Concernirg the Recent Resig
