Every year on this day the citi
. zens of Durham and Chapel Hill,
warm friends under normal cir
. cumstances, assume a ritualistic
- antagonism toward each other that
- stretches totally beyond reason.
Men who will never again see
the sunny side of forty prance
around like star-struck freshmen,
waving pennants and dispensing
. with a goodly round of old college
. cheer.
Alumni, men and women alike,
suddenly feel the bond with Alma
Mater tighten the bond that was
scarcely felt when academic con
tributions were being solicited.
They pour onto the campus by the
thousands to plunge themselves
into the unreality of trying to re
live their salad days.
And the students at both Duke
and the University of North Caro
lina, who have just finished pro
fessing love for each other in a
"Love Feast" of student leaders,
would now gladly and with com
pletely malicious intentions bash
each other's heads in at a moment's
notice.

A visitor from another planet
would be amazed to discover that
all this commotion has arisen be
cause two schools are going to hold
a football contest. It is, of course, a
good tradition to have strong rival
ries and to play a hard, clean sixty
minutes of football for the right to
display the Victory Bell.
What is not good is that every
one has to take this game, or any
other game, for that matter, so ser
iously. It is, after all, only a game.
Its outcome will not influence any
thing except the season's records
of both teams those records them
selves being composed of mere
games.
We hope that, as the sun sinks
behind the West side of Kenan
Stadium and the autumnal chill
grips the assembly in the closing
moments of the battle, both vic
tory and defeat can be accepted
with some degree of grace; that
victors will not deem it necessary
to break things or paint the score
on buildings around either cam
pus; that losers will not vent their
sorrow by mobbing referees or
staging a free-for-all on the field
after the game.
One fact that football; is only a
game does not mean that it cannot
be a good game. We expect to see
sixty minutes of hard, fast, clean
football this afternoon on Kenan
Stadium field.
It's not the players we worry
about; it's the "fans."
Mock UN Assembly
The United Nations Model As-
mbly held on this campus last
year proved to be a stimulating
and fun-filled experience:sibr the
many southern participants.
This February, 22 through 25 the
Assembly will be held on the Duke
campus. Frederick Boland, Presi
dent of the U. N. General As
sembly, and a central figure in the
critical debates last month with
Premier Khurshchev, will be the
presiding speaker for the three-day
affair. Besides the educational as
pects of the gathering, there will be
a banquet and several other social
functions.
We urge students to fill out ap
plications in the "Y" office imme
diately; they must be returned by
December 3. The main prerequisite
for. participation is the ability to
enter into the spirit of debate and
assume the personality of the
country, represented. (This year
one of the UNC delegations will
probably represent the USSR.)
We feel quite fortunate that the
affair will be in our immediate
area again this year and encour
age UNC students to take an active
interest in the 1961 United Nations
Model Assembly.

Should Governor Davis Be Jailed?
The duel between Louisiana and
the federal government over inte
gration of New Orleans schools is
a comic opera that could too easily
become a bloody tragedy. If such
is the result, the blame will be
long to the legislators and Gov.
Jimmie H. Davis.
These gentlemen are playing a
cruel and unfair game with the
anguished emotions of parents and
children having a sincere and deep
seated distaste for integration.
Cruel because they have encour
aged the attitude of defiance that

could lead to mob violence. Unfair
because they have withheld vital
knowledge from these parents and
children. That knowledge is that
the mass production of evasive
legislation by the legislature is
nothing more than a farce, and
that the governor's promise to go
to jail to prevent integration falls
in ,the same category.
In a contest involving the power
of federal court orders be they
right, wrong or indifferent there
can be only one result, and that is
the supremacy of the court order.
The alternative is anarchy, and is
intolerable. Thus Little Rock.
Ah even fresher example is Vir
ginia where bitter-enders urged
Gov. J; Lindsay Almond to go to
jail to hold off the inevitable. The
governor, who had. been holding it
off by legitimate legal maneuvers
for: a long time, had this to say:
"I am willing to serve in durance
vile with those who give the advice
if it will accomplish the desired
purpose. (But) I know of nothing
more futile than a penal sentence
that contributes nothing but the
ridiculous . . ."
It would serve no purpose other
than his martyrdom : for Governor
Davis to go to jail. But itcquld be
argued with, some merit that he
either should go or ask the citizens
he has inflamed with empty ges
tures to leave the streets before
blood is needlessly shed. From the
Charlotte News.
Socialized
Medicine?
Is socialized medicine a good
idea for America?
Ian Ward from Preston, Eng
land, says that "a central ad
ministration is more efficient
than a large number of small,
private units."
England has almost totally so
cialized medicine.
"The health of a nation is the
affair of a nation," the Birming
ham University physical educa
tion instructor said.
For proof of the worthiness of
this idea, Mr. Ward cited two ad
vantages: (1) The poor are al
ways able to have medical treat
ment; and (2) no one would be
financially crippled by even a ser
ious illness.
In England, medical bills are
not paid directly to the doctors.
Instead, a tax of about $50 a year
is levied. This tax, which is the
citizen's National Health Insur
ance premium, takes care of
medical bills, unemployment and
old-age pensions.
There are other expenses. A
prescription costs 10c. Dental
work costs a fiat $2.80 (even if it
takes four appointments to do the
necessary work). It costs no more
to have three fillings than it does
to have a partial plate, consisting
of three false teeth.
There is no charge for an of
fice call, check-ups are free.
Mr. Ward said it is untrue that
there is no choice of doctors. You
can choose your doctor if he does
not already have a full quota of
patients. Also, if your doctor goes
on vacation, there will always be
a replacement.

'Rules, Hell! We Gotta Beat Dook'
The Questions Of Peace, Red China, Mr. Kennedy
Sen. Norris Cotton (R.-N.H.)
recently attacked one of the men
most likely to be our next Secre
tary of State Chester Bowles. In
doing so he raised anew the im
portant question, "What will be
the new administration's policy
toward Red China?"
The answer to this question
will depend on several .factors.
The issue of peace was one of
Kennedy's chief campaigning
points. He was a man who wanted
to be remembered as the Presi
dent who kept the peace. He
would work fervently for world
peace.
When he became president
elect, Kennedy was warmly con
gratulated by Nikita Khrushchev.
The Russian leader implied a hope
for more fruitful disarmament
negotiations with the new
American administration. This
apparent endorsement of the new
president is of course to be taken
with a grain of salt. The Chair
man's incredibly rapid shifts of
mood and attack are too well
known to allow a great deal of
optimism over coming interna
tional negotiations. Khrushchev
is quite probably testing the
strength of our new president-to-be.
Nevertheless, it seems prob
able that Mr. Kennedy will enjoy
the possibility of constructive
negotiations with the Russians
for a certain amount of time at
the beginning of his administra
tion. He is under an obligation,
both from his campaign and from
his intelligence to make the most
of this opportunity. Any signifi
cant diplomatic success at the be
ginning of his term will enhance
both his power as a president and
the position of America during
his presidency.
One field of diplomacy which is
certainly ripe for advancement is
. disarmament. World leaders from
almost every country have ex
pressed a desire to enact an ef
fective system to insure peace
along these lines. Innumerable
non - government intellectual
leaders such as Albert Schweit-
' zer, Bertrand Russell and the
late Albert Einstein have ex
pressed the same desire. The
question has been frequently
raised in the UN (including just
a few days ago in a move by India
endorsed by Russia). But still we
have no disarmament. Still we
have no peace.
A major impediment to a suc
cessful system of world disarma
ment is the United States' policy
of non-recognition of Red China.
It seems somehow futile and
childish to consider disarmament
on a world-wide scale without
recognizing Red China. She is, in
the words of Supreme Court Jus-
tice William O. Douglas, "an
: obstreperous, aggressive nation."
She is the major force working
against peace today. And yet we
avoid-her. We refuse to come to
grips with her on any logical or
: realistic terms.
China may already have atomic
weapons. If she does not, it is
simply a matter of time until she
does. We cannot afford to put off
realism any longer. We must
eventually come to grips with
this obvious power.
The objections to recognition of
the Communist Chinese have
been valid in the past. The prob
lem of the overseas Chinese and
their reaction to American recog
nition of the Reds is not a simple
one. America's prestige (espe
cially in the Far East) could well
suffer if the move was consid
ered a concession out of weak
ness to the Communists. Chiang
Kai . . Shek's American lobby
would react with a confused yelp
of dismay.
However, it is extremely pos
sible that Mr. Kennedy, as the
leader of a brand new American
administration, is in a position to
overcome many of these ob
stacles. The recognition . of Red
China would be a logical shift in
policy due to the new government
policy under Kennedy, not due to
American concessions to Com
munism. It would not be the re
versal of his administration's tra
ditional stand. His administra
tion is not tied to the past. It can
set out in new directions without
being charged with reversal of
policy.
Reuters news service reported
November 15 that the interviews
of American author Edgar Snow
with Mao Tse-tung and Chou
En-lai indicated that, "China will
continue to demand the with
drawal of all American forces
from Formosa as the only ac
ceptable condition for mutual
recognition between the Chinese
and American governments."
If Kennedy, in one of his first
moves as President, could state
that the United States would
recognize Red China for the ex
press purpose of having her join

Fact-Filled, Intriguing

If you didn't know and would

Civil War" will provide you with
all of these assorted facts, rapid
ly and painlessly.
Author. Burke Davis brings to
this work a background filled
with opportunities to acquire
these "oddities of an odd war."
A native of North Carolina and a
graduate of the University, Davis
first spent several years working
for the Charlotte and Greensboro
newspapers. After becoming in
terested in writing historical
novels, he left newspapers en
tirely to devote all of his, time
to other works on the Civil, War.
Books of all types have come
from him on this subject, even
one for children about Roberta
E. Lee, a rabbit from the non
existent county of Barefoot,
North Carolina.
Davis is best known for Gray
Fox and They Called Him Stone
wall, biographies of Robert E.
Lee and Thomas J. Jackson, and
To Appomattox. It was while
doing the necessary reading and
research for these books that he
spotted the facts in this work and
the idea for their presentation
was born.
The material is divided into
brief chapters according to sub
ject matter some light, some
serious. Two chapters are lists
one of the various names applied
to the War (at least twenty
five), and another of the "firsts"
associated with it, such as iron
clad navies, the first submarine,
legal voting for servicemen and
the Medal of Honor.
Still another chapter tells of
the famous on-lookers those
who watched or took only minor
roles to emerge into the spotlight
later. An eight -year-old boy
named Woodrow Wilson peered
through the blinds of a Presby
terian minister's study to watch
Jefferson Davis ride down the
streets of Augusta on his way to
a Federal prison.
Jesse James rode with Quan
trill's Raiders, while a war
weary Anna McNeill Whistler
fled on a blockade runner, to visit
with her son James in England.
Henry M. Stanley is remembered:
for ending an African search with
the question, "Dr. Livingstone, I
presume?" Prior to this he had
served first with the Confederate
6th Arkansas, then the Union
Army, and finally with the Union
Navy, from which he deserted.
Nancy Carroll Brown
an international conference on
peace through world' disarma
ment, we feel that the results
would be beneficial. A refusal to
participate in such a conference
after recognition would be an
extremely concrete and graphic
display of Red China's mili- .
tarism to the undecided ' nations
of the world. If she accepted, Red
China would have been brought
into the community of those
working for world peace by the
dynamic action of a new Ameri
can leader. .
The neutral-nation pact at the
recent stormy UN session, aimed
at obtaining a meeting between
Khrushchev and Eisenhower, in
dicates the perturbation of the
small nations at the idea of a
large-scale nuclear war. A step
in the prevention of such a ca
tastrophe by Mr. Kennedy might
win favor for his administration
from these undecided nations.
This would of course be most de
sirable at the start of a new ad
ministration, or at any time.
One thing would have to be
essential in such a move
strength. Kennedy would have to
convince the world that he was
most willing to take any reason
able steps for world peace, but
he could not show or have the
smallest iota of weakness in his
stand. He would state in the most
unequivocal terms his determina
tion to continue complete Ameri
can defense of Formosa. He would
point to the increasing number
of votes in the United Nations
for consideration of admission of
Red China. He would be cement
ing relations with Great Britain
by following her long-standing,
policy of recognition. He would
present the picture of a strong
man leading a strong country
which was willing to face the
problem of world peace with
realism and intelligence.
In summary, 1) Mr. Kennedy
wants peace; 2) He is in a fortui
tous position as regards Khrush
chev's attitude and the absence
of ties to past policy; 3) disar
mament is an accepted method of
obtaining peace, but. a method
which of necessity involves recog
tion of China. Therefore, we feel
that Mr. Kennedy should adopt
the traditional American position
of a strong nation willing to work
with weaker nations for common
humanistic goals.
This is not a pat solution. It in
volves many problems, but the
rewards can be great. It is not a
certainty in any sense of the
word.
However, one thing is most cer
tain: we cannot afford to relegate
the problem of Red China, to a
back shelf any longer; we cannot
let this opportunity for. action
pass unnoticed. Mr. Kennedy
may decide to ride with the pres
ent situation. He may; decide on
an entirely different course of ac
tion. He must decide something,
and we can only hope it will be
a wise decision. ,
A Letter
On Algeria
Dear Editor,
Eighty professors of mathema
tics, mainly from the University
of Paris, have just signed up a
common declaration sent to Mr.
Michel Debre, Prime Minister of
France. In this protest again t
the colonial war in Algeria, Pro
fessor Godement writes (See
VExpress, October 13, 19G0) :
"If it becomes clear that one
cannot be a mathematician in
France without being implicit
ly or explicitly the accomplice
of a fascist government, then
many of us would automatical
ly have to face the following
alternative: either to take an
other job (but one cannot
easily drop mathematics), or
to go to another country,
whatever the consequences of
this solution may be."
On the other hand, U.N.E.F.
(Union Nationale des Etudiants
de France) has planned a na
tional campaign of protest at the
end of this month. Jean-Paul
Sartre has made very clear state
ments supporting the Algerian
war for independence. He even
testified along with other teach
ers like Professor Mandouze at
the military court in favor of
Francis Jeanson, Professor at the
Sorbonne, who was tried because
of his sympathy for the Algerian
Nationalists.
This is not only a protest, but
also a message of solidarity to
the group of 121 (up to the pres
ent) top French intellectuals who
are now running the risk of being
persecuted because of their joint
"Declaration on the Right of In
subordination in the Algerian
War."
I would appreciate your pub
lishing part of this Declaration
in our campus newspaper. I feel
that this is a problem in which
American students and intellec
tuals are concerned.
Much has been written on the
Algerian war since November 1,
1954. This is the only hot war in
the world today and very few
Americans realize its profoundly
dramatic consequences for the
Algerian and the French people.
There is no need to recall the
position of the Algerian people
who have been fighting for six
years and have paid the heaviest
cost of freedom in history.
I would like now to call your
attention and the attention of the
students on campus on the tragic
impact of this colonial war in
France itself.
This war, on November 1, 19G0,
will enter its 7th year.
Sincerely yours,
Rachid Benouameur
Graduate Student in
Comparative Literature
Sponsored by ihe U.S.N.S.A.
The following are excerpts
from the Declaration:
We respect and we judge
justified the refusal to take up
arms against the Algerian people.
We respect and we judge
justified the conduct of French
men who feel it their duty to
bring aid and protection to the
Algerians, oppressed in the name
of the people of France.
The cause of the Algerian
people, which contributes deci
sively to the destruction of the
colonial system, is the cause of
all free men.

REFLECTIONS
Has anyone noticed the amaz
ing facial similarity between
Joseph Mobutu and a well
known entertainer? It makes you
wonder a little if perhaps Mo
butu and the entertainer should
exchange roles.
Mobutu could do his song and
dance here and get paid for it.
On the other hand, could the
entertainer in question do as good
a job in usurping power?
It's a question worth ponder
ing for a bit. Maybe we could
work out some kind of exchange
program.
It might save a country and
provide some good Sunday TV
at the same time.
