A Needed
Facility
The rr.oying of ping pong tfbles to the
front potch of ("-rahatn Memorial gives us an
opportnnitv to viv a few words about the
personnel umning the (iM show, and about
our student union in general.
First of all. Dim tor Howard Henry is do
ing a splendid job of making the most use
from limited facilities. There appear to be
more students mug CM than ever before.
This is a tribute to his ingenuity. By simple
moiiig of pin; pong tables, by a new- decor
in the Kendeous Room, and by bringing
drink and sandwich machines into thermion,
Henrv has Miven'ari incentive to students to
make (iM their home away from home.
Ver, Hcniv would probably be the first to
point out thrr our piescnt student union is
inadequate. It will not take care of the needs
of a student bodv of S.ooo. It hasn't the rec
reational facilities nor the office space need
ed. Their U no hrgc meeting hall, no pro
jection loom, no caletetia. no large dance
?-.ca, and no kitchen capable of serving well
a irally lue irccption.
Theicfoie we sei r notice on the General
AwmMv of the Snte of North Carolina
tliat we intend to push for this new union

Wi h the 1959-50 school year just
beginning to unravel itself before
us, we have been dcing a certain
amcunt cf concentrated thinking
about some of the auspicious
events that we expect to occur dur
ing the eight and a half monh
span of ytH fledgling session-.
Seme cf them may seem a bit
improbable, but in a community
like Chapel Hill you've g-t to, we",
be prepare 1 for th? unexpected.
Reports from Memorial Hcspital
and its surroundings seem to in
dicate that the Mcical School, m
a mcve cf unprecedented liberal

reading. Apparently they leel that
knowledge comes from strange
sources . . . the University Par

from the r.on-fraternal section of
the campus, will form one great

advocate th? abolition of all or

to inside observers, even seems to
be moving in the direction of an

CroAther will be seen growing a

Cur venerable and most capable

to say something that the ears of
this writer, so finely tuned to
Northern accents, will be able to
comprehend ... the administra

Wright's design for a mile-high
buildings as a new dormi'ory. It
will be located in Glen Lennox,
for easy accessibility to the cam

Allen Ginsberg and Jack Ker

Letters, Letters, And Mail
Editor:
A few- short weeks ago I, as a
Freshman, along with a thousand
other new-comers was introduced
to a part of the "Carolina tradi
tion" known as the Campus Code.
In case many of the readers have
forgotten what this code is, (which
appears possible) the Code puts
each and every student here at
Carolina on his responsibility to
conduct himself as a gentleman
at all times, and where as possi
ble to see to it that fellow stu
dents do likewise. It is this Code
.that I would like to question here.
Am I to unicr stand that such
ccn:luct as the "mass intoxica
tion" which is obvious at every
Saturday ballgime and such con
duct as the great flow of "fctd"
language present not only in the
Stadium but on many other parts
cf the campus as well, is to bo
classified by the University as ex
amples cf genliemantly behavior
as cited on their Code? Am I to
be asked to believe and accept
that the University prefers that
its guests and supporters forget
that they thought the atmosphere
of Kenan Stadium was composed
of 20 per cent oxygen and 30 per
cent alcohol? And that the ap
pearance of many of its students
in an intoxicated condition is to
be taken as part of the "Carolina
way of life".
It's rather ironic. Mr. Editor,
that our campus, which is the
home of our State's own Univer
sity, seems to be an exception to
a principle which is held in such
high reg3rd by our Stale that it
has long had a law providing for
action against such persons con
victed of these forms cf so-called
"gentlemanly conduct" in public.
Apparently these laws are un
known or at least unrespectca by
many of Carolina's students.
So I ask you Mr. Editor: Mr.
University; Mr. Student, is this
cede to be taken as some kind of
joke whose words are to be re
spected only by acts cf apparent
disregard? Or is it, in the Univer
sity's opinion, a moral tradition
worth obeying and more impor
tant, worth enforcing0
Manning P. Ceoke, Jr.
Editor:
As a student of the University
of North Carolina I have read the
Daily Tar Heel with much inter
est and perplexity. Several days
ago you wrote an editorial in
wh'ch you posed seme very perti
nent questions concerning the
rapid growth of the University.
Today I have just finished reading
an article by Miss Kay Slaughter
in which she puts forth a plea for
p. ne.v, bigger and better student
union. It has been my observation
during the pasl three years that
certain officers cf our student gov
ernment feel that the purpose of
thir office is that of furnishing
themselves with new, bigger and
better offices. Now keeping in
mind the fact that the enrollment
is continually increasing, I should
like to suggest that those officers
of our student organizations
housed in GM might exert their
leadership in a more profitable
way by appearing before the state
legislature to ask for more dormi
tories, more dining facilities, a
larger budget for the library, and
salary increnses for the profes
sors of the University of North
Carolina.
Brenda Combs Ball
Editor:
I would like to have this letter
published ur.der the title The
Plight cf the Co-eds.
Recently I was discussirg the
dating siluation here at Carolina
with cue of the nurses, who in
formed me that many of the
nurses and co-eds were facing a
dilemma. This dilemma seems to
'be a lack of dates that they at
tribute to various reasons - mainly
imports. There was quite a bit of
dissension among the co-eds be
cause of the large numbers of W.
C. girls here Saturday for the foot
ball game and dance. Yet there
are over 5.000 men on campus,
more than one for each co-ed and
import from W. C. with hundreds
left. over. It would seem to me
that there must be another answer
to this problem.
There are hundreds of male
students on this campus who stay
in their rooms every Saturday
night simply because they do not
have dates. Yet it seems that
neither party can get together.
Why?
First, not all, but many co-eds
walk around campus with their
noses so high in the air that they
can see nothing but the sun or
stars. If the young man they hap
pen to meet smiles or greets them
with a friendly hello, they walk
on past, pretending they never
nen saw or heard him. This has
discouraged so many men that
now they just do not speak to co
eds, much less ask them for dates.
Second, when there are events
on campus where men can go to
meet co-eds, the co-eds do not and
will not come without a date. The
co-ed has so much pride that she
will not come out of her room on
Saturday night unless she has a
elate. Many men went to the Grail
dance September 19 in hopes of
meeting seme co-eds. How many
co-eds showed up without dates?
Not a single one. Yet that very
right I rode by several of the
women's dorms, each of which
w as lit up like a Christmas tree.
The girls would not come out of
their rooms to meet the men that
they were wanting to ask them
for dates.
Co-eds. for the sake of Carolina
men and yourselves, come out of
ycur rooms aiad the clouds.

Movie
Review
Jack Hargett
No one is particularly happy in
Lock Back in Anger, and the rea
son is a most exceptional young
hero named- Jimmy Porter. What's
sc unusual about Porter? It's hard
to tell for sure. However, he's cer
tainly an unusually hard man to
please. A college graduate, Por
ter chooses to operate ' s ' candy
stall in a drab little community
in northern England rather than
occupy himself with the more "en
nobling" ways of making a living
that society has devised. And,
even 'when two immensely appeal
ing females fall for nim, enduring
every pain he can inflict upon
their helplessness, doing little less
than begging his forgiveness for
their existence, Porter rails at
their lack of perceptiveness, sen
sitivity, etc., etc. In short,' he is
about the bittrest misanthrope
since Johnathan Swift denounced
mankind over two centuries ago.
When Englishman John Os
borne's theatrical diatribe of the
same name arrived on Broadway
two or three seasons ago, it was
fairly potent stuff. Britain's Angry
Young Men were just getting up
enough heat to let off some con
siderably cogent steam. And, al
though the fashion of what they
were doing has declined, Look
Back in Anger endures as prob
ably the best remnant of a lost
cause. For despite the obtrusive
qualities of its antagonizing pro
tagonist. Anger is still often stim
ulating, exciting theatre.
At last unable to endure the
strain of her angry young hus
band's rantings and debasements,
Jimmy's " wife resorts to inviting
an old girl friend to a short stay
with them in order to "have some
one to talk to" (actually, she's
pregnant and is wary of reveal
ing the fact to Jimmy. The girl
friend arrives; naturally Jimmy
detests everything about her; the
girl friend advises the wife to go
home for a much needed rest;
the wife goes; the girl friend
stays. And then the obvious yet
almost incrdible eventuates. No
sooner is the wife out of the house
than Jimmy and the girl" friend,
once arch-enemies, end up in bed
together. But, ralizing ; that it
would never work (she hats a con
science, the girl friend' returns
Jimmy to his lawful mate, and hie
is received with open arms.
The question surely arises as tci
how this hateful fellow gets away
with all this. But the. incredibili
ties in Anger's plot are too num
erous to bother pondering over.
It's evident that Mr. Osbprne has
more important considerations in
mind. The harsh social criticism
he attempts in Anger often amount
to little more than ill wdrid; 'yet
there are sufficient compensations.
Whenever Jimmy quiets ' down
enough to sound reasonable, his
comments are often tragically
touching. And, while our: hero
seems to do nothing about any
thing, he makes it clear that the
present one is indeed not the best
of all possible societies.
The pity is that Mr. Osborne's
dramatic situation is not nearly
so interesting as his ideas. The
film has the -benefits of a highly
capable cast, particularly in
Clare Bloom's portrayal of the girl
friend. Nevertheless, social criti
cism is not always enough to hold
a viewer's interst, and good acting
sometimes heightens the drudgery
of the dramaturgy. If Osborne had
tried harder at his plot-theme
rather than concentrating so spe
cifically to his theme alone, Lock
Back in Anger might have had
more success theatrically. As is,
its chief merits lie in somewhat
misdirected areas; its characters
need to move' more in speakichg,
ought to be able to suggest rather
than preach.

Heroes Of The
Modern Mind
Theodore Crane Jr.
(Part II)
We have seen that the mind is free to see
and explore objects as never before, but it is"
also- free to choose the subjective direction
without any real reference to the real yvorld.
The health of the mind consists in looking
outward, but if the myth of the Fall is taken
seriously, it tends to look inward,, to the Fall
itself. Therefore it is no surprise that Fred
dreams of another society, Abruzzi, for the
one he knows is no real society at all, since
it will not and' cannot guarantee physical
safety. But it ought to guarantee certain con
ditions for psychic safety a set of yvord
meanings for real values, which can give
clean justice to its acts, and to the sacrifice
which it demands. But modern society is con
cerned not so much with the problem of fit
ting words accurately to external things, as it
is that these 'words be appealing to the sub
jective yvorld of itself. For anyone who has
developed the integrity and spiritual good;
taste to insist on reality (and reality is es
sentially spiritual), the methods of society its
words, come finally to seem obscene, not be
cause of -what they mean, but because they
have been misused to the extent that they
have ceased to mean anything real anything
separate from subjectiy e experience arid mo
tives. All relationships suffer family, civil,,
and the religious and sexual aspects of un
realized being between man and woman.
And it is un-realized, since self-enclosure is
ignorance, and ignorance is ignorant of it-!
self. Such a society is impossible, and Fred
leaves it after having been yvounded by it
simply by living in it. And he dreams of a
society, which, though a dream, is more real
than the real one, yvhich, though real,
becomes fantastic and unreal in its mean
inglessness and he may dream, as his so
ciety has taught him to dream, of a solu
tion on a purely personal level, of a perfect
love affair in a land "where nothing makes
anv difference". But such a dream is as im
possible as Abriizzi, and the un-reality of th ;
dream can only lead to disillusion and ulti
mate psycotic parallasis.
And so, yvounded and broken, spiratuai
ly crippled from staring too long at illusion,
Fred does the only thing that he can do if he
ts not to go completely insane he becomes
Jake, and gives up illusion, including the
illusion that he can live without liquor, and
tries to live honestly. Although physically
and emotionally yvounded, he has the integ
rity not to forget, yvith the image of the bull
lighting, that there is such a thing as health
the possibility of an integral life. And here
in the capacity to acknoyvledge the differ
ence between his personal experience, and
other possible experience, he is acknoyvledg
ing in a small important way that there is
something other than self. This realization
is the crucial first step toyvards the restora
tion of the isolated subjective mind to the
health of real contact yvith the real yvorld.
t. -
The focus falls on the image of the bull fight
ing, and, as an image of the unity of mind
and body, it is definitely real, but the im
portant thing is the outyvard mental move
ment the acknoyvledgement that the yvorld
is not a "land yvhere nothing makes any dif
ference," the realization that things do make
a difference, do exist, are important and
yvorth seeing accurately and honestly, all of
yvhich Milton may have had in '. mind when
he spoke of being "humbly yvise."
This is the precise opposite of Satan's un
realistic statement, that "the mind is its oyvn
place," yvhich is the assertion, along yvith
"cogito ergo sum" that characterizes Eve's
state of mind when she sinned, the only dif
ference being that the fundamental sin of
self-enclosure ceased to be an unconscious
defect, and became a conscious virtue. Under
these circumstances, the Isolation of the art
ist is inevitable, and so too, is the isolation
of the masses, and yve have "The Lonely
Crowd,'" yvhich is the only interpretation one
can put upon personal relations yvith separ
ate individuals and society. The difference
here is that the artist by his very nature can
not deceive himself about it if he is to live.
