M:iv w Iv ure you to rectitv this sharl- o.'iiip n the which, in so. n. fully rceotinies !o its readers. Dailv Ta ether ic-pe t'.s respaa-tail. For many generations older members, of our society have lambasted the youth of America for ci.mplavcticy, lethargy, and lack of initiative in the educating proems. We have been accused of rebelliousness, conscious ignorance and lack of will iiv..:invs to cooperate with the people who are try ,inu to teach us. This criticism has become particularly acute (lurine the last live or ten years, and much of it has been directed at the student body of the Uni versity of North Carolina. Some of the criticism has been justified; almost every one of us seems to be trying to get through on a minimal amount of exertion, and many of us are going for a de gi co and no more. But. we often find ourselves wondering, are we really at fault? Are we making the system or are we its victims? American education is in a period of flux and transition, and to a great extent we are the vic tims of a circumstance beyond our control. A fevv short years ago the educating process here and throughout the nation assumed a dogmatic yet highly personal approach toward the student and the subject. New we are moving into a school of instruction which advocates the scientific . approach. We are rcgimentalized into categories according to our psychological and intellectual make-up. and educated appropriately. This is not a system which has room for intel lectual challenge. There is no time for it, amidst the hustle and bustle of the pre-arranged formula. The individual does not fit into the formula. The statistic does. Because we have been reduced to statistics our individuality has been crushed. We are forced to conform to a pattern that has been selected lor us. Occasional! v a student emerges from the oat- pos.sib'y, tern. This rarest occurrence comes about as the sincere- result of a coercion between a highly sensitive stu dent and a teacher who is not happy within the s;, stem (which also regimentalizes him.) Most teach es, however, are content to remain within the framework of this system because it makes things easier for them. It is so much less difficult to con centrate one's energies on out-publishing a fellow instructor than to concentrate upon teaching a perhaps recalcitrant student the intricacies of higher calculus with care and devotion. Maybe the trouble with American education and with this University is that those who are suppos ed to teach have forgotten the essential meaning of the word '"teach". As we have 3hvays under stood it. teaching is a process of devoted, unselfish effort toward the propagation of learning in others. Today it seems only another profession, a job to be done with competence and reasonable thorough ness, but with no more zea! than a baker applies to the day's thousandth loaf of bread. This may sound idealistic, but we think that teaching is more than a profession; to us teaching is a dedication, a task undertaken not by men who wish to retreat into the safe, unreal world of academics but by men with an honest concern for the enlightenment of the young and talented. No one who has been teaching in this tired routine for long is ' going to want to make the change; a switch from partial mental leisure to total psychological immersion in the difficulties of the educational process is a laborious one. Few can be expected to make the change. But the change is needed if we, and students like us across the country, are to regain the essential faith in education and the educational process that is so necessary to the fulfillment of a satisfactory col lege experience. IK i Very slcc'-ndy, M: s. Joel Carter Greer And Amphoterothen The Amphoterotht'ii Society, one dedi cated to the recognition ol forensics and ora tory, made a serious oversight in tailing to tap (iarv (ireei lot membership. Ahhou Ii we lit ve olten been pitted against (irecr's personal beliefs, he is still the undisputed public speaking master ol the campus. This vear he has been one o! the chief exponents ol keeping the Di-I'hi Assembly as a woik ab!e and I unc tioniii'r organization. We ate soriv to have seen his talents overhxiktd. (LTS) Congressman Henry F uss' (D. Wise.) bill to establish a Point Four Youth vCorp. as an alternative to military service has drawn editorial support from Queen's College, N. Y., Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Penn sylvania, and the Universities of Colorado and Utah. The plan would permit a young man to serve his period of obligation to his country by working on development projects in underdeveloped countries. To avoid attracting opportunists in terested only in the draft ex emption, corps members would be excluded from veterans ben efits. Editors of the Colorado Daily have cited the plan as "construe tive and meaningful Youths chance to serve our country and the world." Queen's College. V Y.. called it, "one of the more exciting and worthwhile bills be fore this session of Congress-, "and the Utah Daily Chronicio stated that it is "certainly worthy of consideration.'.' Editorial presentation of the plan at Colorado brought a stormy letter from one veteraa which, in turn, drew irate retort., from several other undergradu ates! Veteran Kenneth Green stated that, though he did not question the program's overall objective, he did question the source of motivation which would prompt people to join. "I believe that the average non-ROTC college man at least on this campus has little sense of patriotic responsi bility, and that he detests the idea of having to serve in his country's armed forces." While he agreed that a sense of purpose is not always inspir ed by service in the armed forc es, he stated that "the fact re mains that men have to be train ed to fight so that if difficul ties arise, they can be recalled through the compulsory reserve program. Finally, he doubts the effec tiveness of excluding Corps, members from veteran benefits, since he feels such benefits are overrated. "Since the Korean conflict, veteran benefits have been greatly decreased, and be cause of various employee com pensation programs, the average veteran in peacetime service seldom has to take advantage of veteran benefits." Green's letter brought vigor ous retorts from several students. To his comment that the non ROTC man doesn't want to serve, one student replied: "Yes Ken. I detest the idea of serving in my country's armed forces. This is my last year of a long four year haul, and I would like to use what little I have learned. Do you think the army will give me a chance to do so? I already know how to dig ditches, peel potatoes, wash dishes and shine shoes. Of course. I'm a little rusty at bathing dogs and greet ing dinner guests of officers." Ensuing Crisis P. W. Carlton 12 a.m. the powder is several inches thick ar.-i an oppressive haze blankets Chapel Hill. The sub stance has been settling on the town since 11 a m Wednesday morning. It is a flaky consistanc-v . clinging tenaciously to the ground and to organ isms unfortunate enough to be caught in an ex posed area. It h2s not been determined what the nationality of the group loosing this plague upon the city was. No reports have come in from other parts ot the country and there is a possibility that this mav be a local attack. The effects will be felt in sur rounding states within a few hours. 12:30 P.M. Franklin St. is desolate. Nothing moves except a few staggering humans, tight! bundled, in heavy protective gear, evidently hoping to minimize the bad effects of the dust. Abandoned cars rest at all angles across the formerly teemin thoroughfare, dismal reminders of the loss of mo bility involved in the attack. Doors and windows are t'ghtly closed and everything seems to be wait ing for a horrible eventuality. There is something final about this situation. . . 1 P'.M. Doctor's report that nothing can be done for victims of attack except to make them as comfortable as possible According to the report victims tend to grow lelhar.de. remain indoors and eventually take to their beds ta await the inevitable. In a few cases the u: v: : i.iates lose their sense of reason and rush n:.:;liv outside to observe the material as it fall- cut t the sky. These individuals can be seen cavorting insane with others of like state. Their rand anties are horrible and pathetic to behold. Their utterly complete terror makes them appear almost to have fun in their macabre activities. Ob servition for a period of time will show that their vitn' ty soon ebbs and tney become clumsy, falling .n't struggling upright in the haze, panting and w ; ing at the tears on their cheeks. Their faces gr.'.w pale as feeling is lost in the appendages and they eventually sagger indoors to .await the end in bed. some swallowing the small white Bayer pills to allay their pain. 2 P.M. Communication with the outside has be er. me desultory. Interference in the atmosphere is e'estroying it, closing Chapel Hill in a shell of si lence. A lone vehicle arrived from Durham a short lime ago, reporting a similar situation there. Nor mal business is shutting down and residents are not in evidence. It is rumored that the National Guard may be called out on riot duty if there are enough left on their feet to serve. Electrical power is still available and a fevv untended and unheeded lights burn in the town. A few unintelligble radio transmissions havf been intercepted by WUNC. So far the only phrase anyone has been able to here clearly is: "don't . . . on ray Blue suede. . .". Obviously this is gibberish and could not be sent by an experienced operator. UNC professors feel that the transmissions may be the result of a pop bottle full of mexican jump ing beans resting on a telegraph key. 3:30. The situation is much worse now. Limbs are falling from trees and an occasional telephone wire is down, due to the superincumbent weight of the sinister powder. The only evidence of hu man existanee is in the form of a few suspicious, powder-covered humps in the snow behind Connor Dorm. Obviously deceased personnel lie beneath these hillocks. All is apparently lost. Instrumental readings indicate -5(c) or --27(F), which puts us 5 points in the red. It is only a matter of time. Those of you who still have strength enough must make an attempt to escape. Leave this con taminated area. There's a chance' that the radius of disaster does not extend to Florida and the more southern states. Make your way thither. There's still time . . . brother. Note: This report seems to indicate that Caro lina students should flee at the approach of snov and become refugees on the beach in Florida, there by avoiding the deleterious effects mentioned. This is probably an excellent suggestion.
