For Uh Volimlary Illnesses"' Davis Bv Young Welfare And The bise.st political news of the past low days was the loss of an issue. Fate !a-t week. Governor IIoc'.,4vS made the announcement that welfare pay ments, cut by the las! General Assembly, would be restored, thus depriving the gubernatorial candi dates of ood ammunition. A while back. Malcolm Seawell had said he would call a special session if he were elected, lo deal with the cut in welfare payments. John D. Larkins lashed at Seawell. pointing out that if a special .session would be necessary after Seawell had won. there was certainly room for a special session now. Terry Sanford then jumped into the act. charging that both Seawell and Larkins hadn't been very concerned with eld a.e benefits until they became candidates. Sanford said both were using the wel fare problem as a political football. Hodges finally quelled all of this with his- an nouncement. Thus, an already dull campaign loses one of its few genuine bones of contention. The most interesting proposal of the past Ob' hours came horn candidate Larkins who will pro pose a home rule arnmer.dment to the State Consti tution if clccled. Pointing out that the General As sembly must spei.d. valuable hours deciding the salaries of local city clerks and other nebulous posts.

His proposal should be embraced by all the candidates." Malcolm Seawell announced he would oppose in come tax hikes. In an interview in the far western community of Ashoville, the Lumberton legalist said, "J am against increasing income tax on indi vidu;'"; and businesses. Our present sales tax rate is as high as it should be. I believe the withholding system and our expanding economy will be adequate for our needs." education, known and lu said, "Some of my views are have not stemmed from mv cam- Reflections NEW YORK How many miles docs one fly while eating a meal on a jet airliner?

NYU beat us soundly in the "G.E. College Bowl." Honor bright is tarnished, for as the late Coach Tatum taught us. to lose is unforgivable. The fact that what we lost was 01 no m-jre valuo to us or to the University than a football game which is to say, of no value at all is not important. What counts is that. those who were ready to replace the basket- ballballs on their "Tar Heel Number 1" plates with I.Q. symbols and the like will have to wait until Professor McGuire's men return our honor to us Our pathetic honor, systematized, strangely symbolized by an athletic program of dubious honor, and usually expressed in the fervent lan guage of vainglorious and misplaced pa triotism. The fact is, of course, that our loss does not reflect on the University or its stu dents. We were not "representing" them. We were not competing for anything so specious as reputation or as piddling i, $1500 for the scholarship fund. Rather, v.c were co-operating with General Electric ir an attempt to dramatize the excitement and the satisfaction of working with the m:r,I. All the rest the whistles, bells, buzzers, the race against time, the compeHtion. th? format all this was the paraphernal of shuw-busines, and we accepted it, as G.7.. d.d, because we hoped that the real na ture of our commitment won! J s!.:iw through the carny atmosphere. As it General turned out. Electric but however, it ws University rf not rth Carolina which seemed most inter fuscation. While General Electric both in private and on the prog'-; all the foolishness is an attempt ; a sober point about the value of c. en ob r:.nits. 1, thr.t make ::ation. the University was interested only in spuri ous publicity. , From the University News Bureau. Pete Ivey. Director, came news releases refer ring to us as a "Tar Heel Brain Team." and to our fellow students as "an egghead team from NYU." Mr. Ivey quoted Dean Siterson mouthing the same platitudes heard on Coach McGuire's television pro gram: 'We take them one at a time'; "there is a let in the way the ball bounces": and so on Even this newspaper, from which we expected more perceptive sympathy be cause two of us were intimately connected with it. chimed in once or twice with simi lar idiocy. (As a rule of thumb, the Tar Heel's merits arc in inverse proportion to the amount of News Bureau copy it re prints.) We were supposedly selected as mature young men: we were treated as simple tools. It is not a gross overstatement to say that we were presented as odd-balls ("His hobby is bee-keeping"'); as misfits (Mr. Ivey reached for a comparison of one of us with Oscar Wilde, finally gave up and settled for a reference to a "Teenage Oscar Levant"); as genuine wierdos (we were walking "brains" ' who met in "skull ses sions") who were in commercial demand at the moment, and who could be used t'j further the self-interest and self-satisfaction of the normal population. Frothing at the mouth in appreciation of his own expertise and in anticipation of the public relations coup to follow, Mr. Ivey was all set to deploy one of those genuine Carolina welcoming committees to the airport, where his cameramen would record the celebration by Carolina students as THEIR TEAM emerged from the plane waving the NYU scalps. Luckily, we came in late in the evening, not to mention los ers, so we were spared that final indignity. Hew - m "ctia: i-S -C i v.s.t i.V TJr.ujL'iPsC ,i 7kJ61 A'.E.1 THEY'RE - .... 'tf ., s ' ' Bowl' It would have been reasonable, if a lit tle cynical, to expect this sort of approach from General Electric, which was suppos edly the commercial interest involved. Had they tried to impose this attitude on us. , we would have expected the University to defend us, to help us make sure that the personal commitment to intellectual en deavor which we shared was identified ivith the University as its central purpose. Instead it was General Electric repre sented by all the people connected with the show who were most sympathetic to us, who apologized for the artificial atmos phere. It was the people from GE who lis tened with great interest when we voiced our concerns about the program, about our university, about our place in the world. So it seemed strange that here, in Chapel Hill, we were never asked why we were interested in this program; about the na ture of our commitments and our concerns. When, finally, we madd a tentative motion to discuss some of our concerns in the minute or so we were allowed to speak on the air: it was the UnverstyoohhhhaiXahr the air; it was the University which for bade us to be honest ("The administration would be very displeased," we were threat ened, if we caused the University any em barrassment.) So we accepted the embarrassment. Be fore several million viewers we sponsored a presentation of the University which we knew to be false, full of garbage about the weather and the salutory effects of pro lessional college athletics. The University helped" us out with a film which showed mere of the cheerleaders and the football team than anything else. Fortunately, we thor t to slip in a brief mention of the Sympoium; and. hopefully, the patent ri diculousness of the rest might have awak ened the justifiable .scepticism of the audi ence. Only the disposition of our S500 award remains to be decided. It is worth noting that the University has made no move 'o identify this small scholarship with the sort of commitment in appreciation of which it was awarded. The University's first thought was to drop it into the Gen eral Scholarship bucket, the interest ac cruing to be doled out anonymously to stu dents who would remain anonymous in re ceipt of it. After repeated inquiries, we were told that we might make a recom mendation to the Scholarship Committee. Certainly they would not inquire of us, however. The recommendation will be made; the result remains to be seen. So the affair is all but finished. Those of us who were directly involved remember it with some misgivings, tempered by the excitement and satisfactions of our visit to New York. But for at least one of us. and to some degree for all of us. the sad business outlined in this essay struck us most forcefully. The antagonism toward us came not frcm General Electric, and cer tainly not from our fellows from NYU. but from our own University which it would seem we had the right to expect none. 1 '2?iu- SSL T.-A Be a little Iamb REMEMBER EASTER SEALS FIGHT CRIPPLING National Society for Crippled Children and Adults 2023 W.
