What The Bond

Vote Means
The following editorial Is from the
Chnprl Hill Wtchly of Monday, Oct.
On Tuesday, () t. 27. the voters of North
Carolina will he .nkcd to vote on "A hill
to he entitled an a.t to authorize the issuance
of bonds of the state to provide for capital
iinp!ocm( tits loi state institutions and agen
cies and state aid to community colleges
and lor local hospital construction."
Or in moie simple language, the act is
known as "Capital Improvement State Voted
bond A( t ol ly."
The act, divided into hvcipI sections, will
provide money for the capital improvements
of a great number of state institutions.
If this at t is passed, every person in the
State will stand to gain from it, for it will
provide lor a number of public programs.
We. of the University community, of
coutsc arc particularly interested in what the
bill provides lor the University.
If the act is passed, money will be provid
ed lor the University for the following pro
jects: Uenovation of labotatoiics in Vcnable
Hall, St lo.ooo.
Geology and coraphv building. S730.000.
Addition to Swain Hall. $l2-,.ooo.
Addition to Hill Hall. $8".ooo.

New Sdiool of Public Health Building.
5 1 ,000.000.
'I his totals S".i 'o.ooo for improvements
at the Universitv.
The lamest single item here is for a new
School ol Public Health building. If the
act is appiov cd. this new building will be
ereted a ross Putsboio Uoad Irom Memori
al Hospital, mn the Sdiool of Pharmacy
buildin:. whiih is now under construction.
Natutallv. a building of the tvpe needed
bv the Sdiool of Public Health cannot be
erected for one million dollars. The federal
government has come to the aid of the Uni
versity in his particular building.
Congrcs has voted some $-,00,000 for the
construction f 1 1 ic new School of Public
Health. However, the University will not
receive tit, half million dolbvs in federal
funds if the people of the state do not cast
a favorable vote for the bond issue.
While alt of the projects covered bv the
bond issue act ate wotrhy, none, perhaps,
arc as h.itllv needed as the new building for
the S( hool of Public Health.
At the present time, the Public Health
School is housed in 10 different buildings
cm the c. -upus. Many of these 10 buildings
are poorly suited for teaching and labora
tory -work.
Among these 10 buildings, there are in
cluded tempo' ary wooden buildings erected
bv the Armed Torres during World War IT,
Ouonset huts and one department of the
School of Public Health is housed in the
old Water Wuiks building behind Phillips
Hall.
This building was erected in 180J and
abandoned bv the water works a' few years
later because it was found to be inadequate.
It is to the interest of every person, not
onlv in Chapel Hill, but throughout the
natc, to do all in his owcr to see that each
voter goes to the polls on Tuesday, Oct. 27,
and easts a lavor.-.ble vote for this bond issue.

We have had a great deal of
fun reading the Daily Tar Heel re
cently, because there has been lots
of good natured intellectual kid
ding about this Beat Generation
vhich is doing all sorts of strange
things, or so they say. It has been
very enlightening to read all the
big words that Frank and his
friends and foes have been tossing
around, and we will aJmit with a
moment's hesitation that we spent
quite some time at the dictionary
looking up words like "espouse"
and "confrontation" and "suc
cinct" and well, we learned a
whole lot.
Now we'll admit we had a lit
tle trouble relating ourselves to
this stuff, but then some guy in
a grey suit and pin collar came
up to us and suggested we play
a song to see who stands up so we
p'ayed a li tie Bartok and Stravins
ky and Miles Davis and Sonny
Rollins and a few guvs in seat
shirts uif.h growths on their chins
stumbled to their feet so we fig
ured that msybe these were the
fellas we're supposed to relate to.
Well, we went eff in a corner with
them and after they passed around
these back cigarettes that they
cabled "pet" and we all had a
little smcke and commenced to
feel a little daffy, then we started
a discussion. It was pretty weird,
but I remembered some of the
things they had to say, and it
might have been weird but by
jingo yeu'll ji'st have to admit it
was profound.
"No'hing. Nowhere. Man, you-are-
buggirg-me."
"Man I did not come here to
bug you I came here to find out,
I mean like to dig. the message
you have been laying on the oats
in the Big Big Apple."
(At this point my interpreter be
gr.n to seem a little perplexed, so
he got another drag of the pot,
which just helped him a lot).
"Well, man. the message is very
simple, like it is straight from
Zen himself, like it is mystical
and that kind of a message is well
it is . . . oh-man-like-you-are bug-ging-me."
"Like I may be bugging you but
man, you won't even answers my
questions don't you like know the
answers man? Like man, hit me
like I'm cold in bed and like I
need the warmth of ycur message
like man . . . like, now."
"Well, man, like it's like this . . .
like, hang on man this is rough
like it is so tough on my soul that

"Know what man?" (Well, as
you can figure out I was getting
pretty excited about what I was
going to learn).
"Man, like are you ready? Like
can you relate now?"
"Yeah man:" (I was beginning
to foam at the mouth) "Yeah dad-dy-o
hit me with it father o man
o man o man go go go go shake
rattle and roll hit me with it right
now daddy-o!"
"My dear boy, you have fallen
victim to crass emotionalism.
Please return to our next meeting
for further instruction - man."
Well, of course I was pretty
stunned about not being able to
relate to these wizards but, well,
I just figured that you win some,
you lose some . . .
So I went heme and picked up
this new book I got called The
Hcly Barbarians by a fella named
Lawrence Lipton who says he is
scrt of a patron saint for all
these beat fellas. I don't know ex
actly how he visualizes himself
tut, well, once I saw him walk
irg arcund with nails in his hands.
And so I read this book and get
what I thought was going to be
the true unbiased story but actual
ly it turned out to be kind of pre
judiced on the side of these beat
boys. Or at least this fella who
wrote it seems to like them be
cause he says at the end of the
book:
" 'Whose world is coming to an
end?'
"Not the holy barbarian's."
Now that seemed like a kind of
confident thing to say so I went
to visit some of these beat boys
and, well, they said they weren't
around anymore. Said something
about all of them getting dis
gusted and enrolling in the busi
ness school . . .
(This is the second part of Masa Nisihara's
letter to his twin brother Hiroshi, a student at
the University of Osaka. Masa is studying at
Carolina as an exchange student under the au
spices of the National Student Association's
Foreign Student Leadership Project. Editor.)
The relation between professors and students
seem to be closer than in Japan. They do not seem
to be speaking formally. This is. I think, partly be
cause of American character their preference
for informality and frindliness.
Those facts remind me of the letter sent me
while in Japan by a member of the International
Student Board under the Student Government, say
ing, ". . . Although a large University in size and
number, UNC is. in many ways, quite small; and
the warm friendly atmosphere which prevails is
unsurpassed."
Surely, Hiroshi. I can find many things different
here on this campus. Especially, since I am inter
ested in student activities, this campus is, to be
sure, one of the best examples for my understand
ing of American student life and their activities.
Student Government looks very extensive and au
tonomous, running an orientation committee for
freshmen and transfer students, in cooperation with
faculty and administration.
It is felt that Japanese student leaders have to
learn of student-faculty-administration relations.
Moreover, Y (which means YMCA and YWCA)
activities seem to be more prosperous than I have
expected. Actually Y worked out a successful ori
entation program for foreign students. Virtually the
treatment of foreign students here is very favor
able. And also it will be inconceivable for us Japanese
tc expect a student daily newspaper. Here I can
see socially, culturally and economically different
conditions in the two countries. Besides these, this
campus has very interesting groups and systems such
as two major student political parties, honor sys
tem, fraternities and sororities, ROTC and so forth,
none of which Japanese students have. I would like
very much to explain them to yon, but it is hardly
possible at the present. It will take me at least
a few months to understand them.

Hawkshaw Jordan
Dear Sir:
Impressions
Hiroshi, as I was often telling you while in
Japan, I intend to keep in my mind especially the
following matters.
1) How do American people understand demo
cracy? i.e., how are democratic thought and ideas,
in reality, melted in their daily life? Though Japan
has been under the construction of a democratic
society since the last war, there still seems to be
many misinterpretations and misconceptions of dem
ocracy, freedom and equality.
2) What is the way and method here of approach
ing and solving problems? I wonder how much it
is different from that in Japan.
3) Religion: how is their religion sense and how
are American people living in a country known as
a Christendom relating their Christian faith to their
daily life and other crucial issues facing them? -In
fact, I was disappointed when I found no Negro
people at all at church services I have joined so
far. It seems to me that they think that in Heaven
there are two separate rooms prepared for white
and non-white people. Certainly, segregation is a
big problem here.
4") International awareness on the campus. What
and how are students living in a power-leading
world thinking politically of international problems,
and how much are they interested in these issues?
So far Japanese students seem to be more serious
about politics than American students, but I may
be wrong.
However, I believe that there must be some dif
ference between the students cf the two countries
concerning their senses of responsibility for and
awareness of the role in the future of the world,
and at least the international political situation.
Through my observation cf these matters at this
campus, I want to understand the life philosophy
of American students as accurately as possible. T
know well that only a one-year stay here is not
sufficient, but I will try to. Trying to understand
America should come first, with the maximum
I avoidance of thoughtless attitudes and conclusions.
I should be glad, if I could, in a small way, con
tribute to the Japanese student community by mak
ing the best use cf my experience obtained in this
country.
(To Be Continued)

Tar Heel on its thoughtful cpntri

of the tremendous problems facing Carolina's su

the sense of acheivement, the feeling that you are
