Letters to the Editor
Harsh Words
To the Editor:
Despite the fact that I am a professor in this
university and therefore. I suppose, ought to hold
my temper. I am writing this letter to you and
The Daily Tar Heel because I have no other channel
through which to air my revulsion.
For the past nineteen days it has been my pri
vilege to work together with a dedicated group of
students and townspeople who; under incredible
difficulties, have been preparing a production of the
two Oedipus plays for our university community's
enjoyment. The job of accomplishing this feat in
the sh.ut time allotted to us has been constantly
impeded by antics of a group of juvenile delin
quents who appear to live in Cobb Dormitory, across
the road from The Forrest Theater.
Mostly this gutter gang has ctnfined its activi
ties to childish shouting and the shooting-off of
firecrackers (illegal in North Carolina) in the road
in front of the theater. This The Playmakcrs 'have
learned to ignore, anu rehearsals go on as though
it were not happening.
The hoodlums seem to have caught on to this,
since last night they made a real effort to gain
our attention.
Two things happened, either of which might
have had serious consequences. It has been very
cold, working out there these nights, and last night ,
was no exception. Playing an important role in the
production is one of the kindest and most highly
thought-of ladies in Chapel 11:11. While this lady was
lying helplessly on the stage in a light costume,
surrounded by young coeds in equally light dresses,
one of these ingenious gangsters sneaked up be
hind the scenery and threw a paper bag full of
icy water on the lady and the girls. They had no
choice but to slay in their places, wet and shivering
in the freezing wea.'ter. and finish the scene, with
out moving a muscle. Dies this funny hoy. who
ever ho is. th:nk that pneumonia is hilarious?
Almost simultaneously another one of the- e
hoodlums threw a firecracker into the audit "iriimi
of the theater, where it exploded. It so happened
that last night The Carolina Playmakcrs. and there
fore The University of North Carolina, had as its
guests at the rehearsal a group of interested neon
from Durham. The firecracker exploded right be
side where they were sitting. Had it fallen a little
to the left it would have exploded in their midst
:.nd someone whould have been maimed or blinded.
It was useless to try to catch the fool who threw
it sinc by the time it exploded, he was already
running away a hundred yards off . . . something
which is typical of that kind of yellow scum. Had
someone been maimed he would have gone free,
no doubt, but his university would not have been
so lucky. Does he care? I doubt it. With his type
of mentality, he probably does not have the brains
to care.
I do not know what kind of homes these boys
come from, of course, since they are sneakers and
hiders and no one ever sees them; but it seems
incredible to me that the respected theatre of an
important cultural institution has to call out the
police to protect its workers and guests in order
to carry out its work.
This is what we had to do last night.
Yours very sincerely,
Kai Jurgensen
To the Editor:
An open letter to the President of the Student
Body
Dear David:
There may not be much point in arguing against
your personal position. But regardless of which
side of the issue a person may be on. I think one
would have to be something of a blind fooj to
really believe there is nothing more involved in
sitdown strikes than a hamburger for a Negro.
You say that all they are doing is stirring up
racial hatred. Hatred from whom? Certainly not
from the Negroes. 'Iheir theme has been the Chirst
ian one of love for the person who hates you.
Examine the haters. Examine the people who
have spit on the Negroes, cursed them and abused
them. Examine the Wimpy Joneses, the KKK's. and
the White Citizens Councils. You have allied your
self with their cause. Maybe you didn't mean to,
but that's the way it 1-ooks.
You said you fell obliged to present the South
ern point of view. Which Southerners?
A few weeks ago I heard a man who used to
be President of this University commend the strik
es and their causes. I see the faculty of the Uni
versity which has been given the. trust to be our
educators taking stands for this movement. I see
the views of students becoming more and more
liberal.
You must be concerned with the reputation of
cmr University. In whose tyes have you enhanced
her reputation and standing with your stand and
your statement? What are you trying to do make
us popular in the backwoods of Arkansas or re
spected by the Nation?
I know that most Carolina students have a "go
. slow" attitude toward integration and that there
are extreme views in the minority at each end.
Do you consider this a mandate to make yourself
the le'der of the minority at a conference to which
you have been sent as a representative of the
school? You have misrepresented this school to
the rest of the country. Whether you meant it
or not, you have created an image of this Uni
versity as the leader of segregation in the South
I think that the staunchest among us would admit
that this simply is net true.
Just how do you conceive of your position as
President, as a representative, as a spokesman?
Although I knew that we personally disagreed on
this issue, I did not expect such a careless and
damaging action and such a thoughtless statement
from you. If I had I would not have voted for
the appropriation to send you to the meeting. What
good cause have you served?
It is not conceivable to you that greater and
greater number of our graduates will not want to
carry into the world the stamp of a University
with areputation like the one you are helping to
create? Do you rea::y believe that "more people
will look back on this happily or will there be
more who will find it a handicap and a regret?
When you speak for the University, if you can't
find it in yourself to recognize the wind of change
which is blowing around the world don't you
think there is a possibility that the best thing to
do might be to be quiet and watch - for a vvhT1
before you commit us to a doubtful cause?
We will live our lives more in the world of to
morrow than in the world of today. Good luck.

"What's So Funny?"

Otelia Connor
President Harry Woodburn Chase
The University has been fortunate in that it
has always found the right man to head the Uni
versity in its chronic state of crisis. The only
period in its history in which it seems not to
have been confronted with a life and death situa
tion was in the relatively quiet period between
1835-1861, during Governor Swain's administration.
(The present one might be an exception.)
Iresident Chase was the man of the hour in
the decade of the twenties after World War I. when
the greatly increased attendance at the high schools
made it imperative for the colleges to take care
of the ever swelling numbers who wished to enter
college.
President Chase was born in Groveland. Mass.,
1883, graduated at Dartmouth 1904; M. A. at Dart
mouth, 1907-08: Ph D. Clark University. 1910: train
ed in the fields of theoretical and social psychology,
he came to the University as a professor of Psy
chology in the Department of Education. 1910.
When President Venable resigned the Presidency
in 1914, Dr. Chase became one of President Edward
Kidder Graham's chief assistants until Graham's
death, October, 1918. Upon the death of Dean Stacy,
January, 1919, Chase became Dean of the Faculty.
In April, 1920. in the presence of a "notable
gathering, Harry Woodburn Chase, tested as ver
satile scholar, teacher, and administrator, assumed
the duties of the presidency of the University to
lead it through what proved to be one of the most
distinctive and thrilling decades of its life."
We have already reviewed the physical expan
sion of the campus under Chase in the twenties
the development of the South Campus and the off
campus expansion to the east and south east. Let
us now consider what he accomplished in the
academic field.
Among the academic accomplishments under
Chase were: the development of a scientific Depart
ment of Sociology, around which could be built a
School of Public Welfare, an agency which would
train County officers, enabling the University to
render distinctive contributions to the develop
ment of the human wealth of North Carolina; the
training in the Graduate School of the experts in
all fields essential to the upbuilding of North Car
olina and the South; the establishment of an in
stitute for research in the field of the social scienc
es to study the social aspects of the life of the
State and region; the building up of a great library
and the training of librarians to supply expert
service to schools, colleges and public libraries of
the South.
He developed courses in psychology, an intro
duced in the curriculum the clinical viewpoint and
applied psychology.
To train experts for the South's rebuilding.
Psychology, Sociology, and Journalism, the schools
of Commerce and Public "Welfare, Engineering, and
Library Science, redirection of the Graduate School,
the establishing of the Institute for Research in
Social Science and the Institute of Government,
the development of the Library and the Southern
Historical Collection, and the organization of the
University of North Carolina PVess, all of which
were essential in effecting the transition of the
University from the status of a college to that of
a well-rounded university which was admitted to
the Association of American Universities in 1922,
an organization of Universities in the United States
and Canada that had obtained notable distinction
in the fields of graduate study and research, be
coming the 25th University to be admitted.
President Chase transformed the law school,
which was a coaching school for bar examinations
when he took office, into a real professional law
school in the modern sense."
President Chase was not satisfied to have a good
local or provincial 'school. His insistance upon the
attainment and maintenance of national standards
differentiated and maintenance of national stand
ards differentiated him sharply from the adminis
trators of other southern institutions.
The position of the University in the education
al development of the state, the south, and the na
tion were greatly enhanced- under President Chase's
administration, and under his leadership it became
"one of the notable universities of the nation."
The crowning glory of Chase's administration
was his loyalty to principles of academic freedom
and the right to teach and investigate, as demon
strated in his fight against the Pool Bill, and any
outside interference in the effective adherence to
these principles. Thus the University came to full
grown status and maturity under his superb lead
ership. In 1930. President Chase was called to the
Presidency of the University of Illinois. From there
he went to the Presidency of the University of New-York.
Open
Statement
I would like to take this ojpor-
t unity to rpake a fe- remarks to
the Student Legislature and the stu
dent body concerning my recem
trips to Washington, D. C. and Mis
sissippi Southern College. I would
first like to thank you for making
i: pcssible that I attend these two
ccv..'ercnc6s. I think both of them
were worthwhile and have given me
a better insight into what other stu
dents are thinking and dorag in the
rest of the nation.
The first conference rn Washing
ten on April 22-23 was the National
Student Conference on the Sit-In
Movement sponsored by the Nation
al Student Association. Every stu
dent body president in the United
States was invited, and approxi
mately 135 official delegates at
tended, with about 200 observers
The meeting was most informative
in helping me to better understand 3
the Sit-in Movement, what is and
has taken place, and the philosophy
behind it.
However, there are two criticisms
which I have, and that I have made
known in a constructive way to
NSA officials. First, I think the
educational objectives of the con
feienee were somewhat hidden, and
too much of the time was devoted
to the consideration of resolutions
concerning the movement as it af
fects the nation. Secondly, it way
my opinion that bcth sides of the
question were not adequately rea
reented. The conservative South
ern view was not present at the
conference at all. In all fairness.
I add that this later situation was
the fault ot the Southern school;
lor not accepting the invitation
uuher than the fault of NSA. I have
u.ged NSA to take active steps to
secure proper representation at fu
ture conferences.
With this lack of representation
hi mud. I felt that it would perhaps
be beneficial to some of the stu
dents from other parts of the na
tion if I would explain some of the
reasons whv I do not agree alto
gether with the movement and
wculd try to correct what I be
lieved to be misrepresentations ot
the situation which some of the
speakers had left. I tried to point
out what I believe to be the favor
able aspects of the movement, but
since that side of the picture bad
already been thoroughly explored
I spent most of my time trying to
point out its cons.
The second conference was a
meeting of the Southern Student
Government Association in Hatties
burg, Mississippi. UNC is not a
member of this association, but 1
believe we should have contact with
them and know as much about them
as possible since they share many
of the problems we ourselves face.
Ihey had discussions oi several
important facets of student 'govern
ment, and the groups I sat in on
were very good. Their quality was
at least as good, in my opinion, as
that of NSA even though their quan
tity i variety of subjects) was much
more limited.
SUSGA is tairly young and ap
parently is in a great stage ot
growth. Their membership increased
75'7o 124 to 42) in the past 'year.
They are now concentrating their
expansion in the states from which
they have member schools, and I
do not believe they ore yet ready
to expand into North Carolina.
The organization is concerntsj
with the problems of student govern
ment and does not consider resolu
tions of policy in other affairs.
While 1 do not think we shouM at
present consider petitioning tor
membership in SUSGA.
This report is somewhat brie:
However, if any legislator or any
student would like to talk with me
further abcut these conferences, or
my views on them. I would te hap
py to do so.
