WHOSE IDEA?
The platform of both the UP and
the SP this year include planks de
signed to increase emphasis on
cultural and creative aspects of
campus life. Both also include vari
ous programs aimed at solving the
perennial problem of dormitory so
cial activities or the lack of them.
The two platforms overlap also in
other areas dorm libraries, NSA
participation, streamlining the bu
reaucratic sprawl of committees,
improving communications between
executives and the student body,
and so forth.
Because the platforms are es
sentially similar in t many areas,
candidates on both sides have cur
rently been lapsing into what is
nothing more than petty mudsling
ing and charges of "idea theft,"
more colorful phrases,
references to ancestry.
including
While this might make for more
interesting campaigning, the whole
question .seems a little pointless.
What difference does it make who
came up with the idea originally?
If it's a good idea or a good pro
gram, who cares whether it came
from the UP or the SP?
The question is, which party, or
which slate of candidates has shown
the ability to carry them out. Both
parties would do well to get out
of the name-calling game and put
some more energy into figuring out
exactly how some of these high-flying
ideas are going to be pulled down
cut of the heavens and translated
into results.
nmmer Newspaper
The Daily Tar Heel is run by and
for the students. The summer
school newspaper, the UNC News,
is run by students for the Office
of Student Affairs.
Although the Administration has
been conscientious in its control of
the News, there nevertheless is a
strong argument for placing the
newspaper under student govern
ment. Bills presently being considered
by student legislators ask . that
summer school student government
expenses be transferred from the
Office of Student Affairs to student
control. The primarily social activi
ties in which the summer school
activities board is interested would
become student responsibility. The
administrative wrork previously done
by Asst. Dean of Student William
Long probably -would be transferred
to students, according to these bills.
. . . And by this legislation the
UNC News would become the pro
duct of student government instead
of the ward of South Building.
The UNC News is published
weekly during the summer sessions
here. It is put out by two paid
staff members (an editor and as
sociate editor) who are selected by
Dean Long with the approval of
the summer school activities board.
Many members of the Adminis
tration wish to se the summer
school paper a University bulletin,
with no features, editorials, investi
gative or critical stories. But the
Office of Student Affairs has work
ed to keep it a "newspaper" rather
than a "bulletin."
The editor of the News is direct
ly responsible for his actions to

Dean Long and indirectly respon
sible to the activities board.
Student Affairs has allowed edi
tors considerable freedom in the
selection of editorial and news sub
jects. Efforts by other Administra
tion officials to subject editors to
rigid censorship have been opposed
by Student Affairs.
(As an example . . . one of this
writer's primary goals as UNC
News editor was to promote stu-
dent 'debate in an atmosphere which
was extremely complacement . . .)
encourage controversy via a news
paper which had traditionally been
dull and uninteresting . . . publish
an alive, interesting paper. Our use
of reputedly "extreme" means in
tegration articles, controversial
'quotation-filler and columns was
accepted to attain these goals.
(The UNC News, obviously, is
a very different kind of newspaper
than i sthe Daily Tar Heel. Method,
which had to be employed to pro
mote lively controversy in a unique
situation with a weekly, summer
school, tabloid-size newspaper
would not be used in the Tar Heel,
which has made a tradition of stu
dent debate.)
As long as the Office of Student
Affairs pays the bills for the UNC
News it has the right to get what
it wants. But should the Adminis
tration control the summer school
newspaper ?
A student newspaper should be
published by students, with the
needs and wishes of students in
mind. No matter how indulgent
Administrative control may be, it
is still Administrative control. Dean
Long is an indulgent overseer of
the UNC News, but he is an over
seer all the same.
The editor of the UNC News
should be appointed by the regular
session Publications Board, and his
actions should be governed by the
summer school activities board or a
board sub-committee. The editor
should be able to name his staff,
except for the business manager,
who should be named by the Publi
cations Board.
An additional advantage of a
student-run News is that it and
the Daily Tar Heel could then work
together more effectively. Present
ly the Administration-run News
operates from the same office as
the DTH, using the same equip
ment and facilities as the student
supported Tar Heel. Two student
run newspapers could work togeth
er in economic equality and elimi
nate some of the first-of-the-ses-sion
administrative problems.
It would be better of all concern
ed, particularly summer session stu
dentry, for the UNC News to be
run by student government.
rim Clotfelter
President Of Student Body
The validity of the Campus Chest
speaks for itself through the agen
cies that they propose to aid. Each
agency is thoroughly investigated
by a competent committee and
thoroughly discussed before selec
tion. As students, we are directly con
cerned with several of these agen
cies. Students here at UNC benefit
from information and services pro
vided by the World University Ser
vice, American Friends Service
Committee, and our new Tours Scho
larship program.
The solicitation program of the
Campus Chest is competent and
colorful. It needs student support.
It would be worthwhile for each stu
dent to support the Campus Chest.
BILL HARRISS
President of Student Body
Student Party Chairman
The Student Party is primarily con
cerned at this time with supplying
the students with a slate o fofficers
to serve the campus through stu
dent government. However, after
speaking with many of the party
members, I can say the Student
Party is behind the Campus Chest
one-hundred per cent.
Ever striving for a more respon
sible Student Government, the par
ty feels this committee is one work
ing for a worthy cause. From the
past record it seems that we stu
dents have not realized the true
value of contributing to the causes
chosen by the committee. Regard
less of whether we give more per
person than Duke or not is a factor
of pride, but whether the challenge
is met in some way finance these
projects is the issue. This method,
we all agree, is best. Therefore, let
us all join in to help the drive be
successful, realizing it is the only
such project all year.
JIMMY WEEKS
Student Party Chairman
I. F. C, President
Within the next week you will
probably be approached by someone
asking you to give to the Campus
Chest. This is a once-a-year cam
paign on this campus for those who
cannot help themselves and for those
who need money in order to help in
their advancements of scientific en
deavor. Fraternities have an important
role on this campus and this is
only one way in which they can
show that "we do care." The aver
age of eighteen cents per persons
that was given last year is a poor
indication of caring. I believe that
we do care, so please give gen
erously to the Campus Chest.
JIM DILLASIIAW
I. F. C, President
YWCA, President
As time approaches for our Cam
pus Chest Drive at UNC, it is like
wise time for us as students to for
get ourselves, think of others, and
of these charities, and rise to a
vholehearted, undivided student sup
port of this project. The sects and
schisms on our campus must merge.
We've been seperated long enough.
Let's us show the campus of the Uni
versity of North Carolina to be a
truly loyal and dynamic school.
We are in the limelight. Yet, our
Campus Chest project has been pub
licized all over the country. LIFE
even sent a representative last year
to cover the Carnival. We must give
of ourselves to make this a record
year, for our Campus and for those
outside our Campus. We have been
accused of being an apathetic stu
dent body. Are we?
iMost of all, let us not forget the
true spirit of giving which should be
the core of any charity drive any
where. When we do give of ourselv
es to something better, we also be
come a part of that which is better.
JACKIE DAY
YWCA, President
IDC Vice-President
'Within the next few days, scores
of your classmates and mine will be
visiting the dormitories, fraternities,
sororities and various off-campus
residences inviting all Carolina stu
dents to contribute to the '62 Cam
pus Chest.
Our classmates will not be begging
for money; they will be giving each
of us the privilege of working to al
leviate many of the needs of the
twentieth-century those concerned
with education and the international
exchange of knowledge and the fost
ering of understanding plus those
needs arising from heart disease and
mental illness these among count-
i
less other possibilities.
This is a privilege we students
must not overlook; surely, a good
response should be forthcoming
from all!
Particularly in the men's dormi
tories will these students be work
ing, and it is here that the most
outstanding contributions may be
made. Our response must be more
than just "out-contributing"; it must
far surpass the average of eighteen
cents ($.18) given by Carolina stu
dents last year. For if we dorm resi
dents scale our response, even par
tially, in terms of the "extras" of
student life for which we annually
spend a considerable sum, then it
is most reasonable to consider con
tributing in terms of, for example,
the $1.50 we spend annually for just
dorm socials alone!
Our education is a many-sided
process in which such opportunities
as those presented by the Campus
Chest Fund are a vital part. How
ever, we all would do well to con
sider this privilege before us. Know
ing of these needs, Carolina should
give a good response and one in
which I am sure the dormitory resi
dents will contribute outstandingly!
JOHN MITCIIENER
n)C, Vice-President
It is not often that we, the women
students at Carolina, have an op
portunity to make a contribution to
something other than our self-interests.
We daily become embroiled with
bettering ourselves academically
and socially and any responsibi
lities we assume are usually self
motivated. Our wits and energies
tackle such things as the battle of
the hair against the weather, a
peaceful co-existence with Carolina
gentlemen, or a summit conference
with a faculty member.
We are not to be condemned for
these things; they are a natural con
sequence of our university life.
Nevertheless, we are not to be ex
cused for ignoring any opportunity
for assuming responsibilities beyond
ourselves when an occasion arises.
Campus Chest provides this oppor
tunity for us with its solicitations
drive this week.
The Campus Chest solicitations
drive is unique in its conception and
its purpose. No other fund raising
organization is given permission to
solicit funds from women students.
This special permission clearly de
notes that Campus Chest is con
ceived as a STUDENT effort. Its
purpose is to evoke a STUDENT re
sponse to the needs of five worthy
organizations. We, as women stu
dents, should respond with our sup
port. PAM PARKER
Chairman, Women's
Residence Council
YMCA President
The only fund raising drive au
thorized by the University of North
Carolina for the solicitation of funds
on our campus is the Campus Chest.
The March of Dimes, Red Cross,
Community Chest, and the many
other charities we will be expected
to donate to after we graduate from
Carolina will not seek the spare
change we happen to have in our
pockets when a solicitor approaches
us, but meaningful donations that
can be measured in terms of a per
centage of our salaries. We will be
called on to give and hopefully to
develop a spirit of giving.
Our Campus Chest , should be tak
en as seriously as any of these char
ities. The Chest is different from
many other drives in that students
themselves decide upon the specific
charities which will receive dona
tions. I feel the most significant fea
ture of the Campus Chest is that it
is an expression from the students
of the University of North Carolina.
People talk about student apathy
and complain about the attitude of
students at the University. Our cri
tics, many of whom showed their ig
norance and lack of concern for such
things as mental health and higher
education during the recent state
"The Packaging Isn't Nearly ,
As Confusing As The Labeling!"
ft mm mm
bond referendum, may not know as
much about charitable giving as
Carolina students. The Campus
Chest will give us a good chance to
prove this point.
TAM LEFLER
President, YMCA
The Carolina student is asked to
give money for charity, research,
and a scholarship once a year.
Many calls for money are made but
in this one a student is asked to give
toward something which is a Univer
sity of North Carolina effort. He is
asked to represent the University in
doing something worthwhile. An
average of 18c was given $o help
fellow students on all continents get
the basic requirements of an educa
tion housing, health facilities, and
educational material; to aid heart
research; and to help send a student
to France.
Nobody follows a game that does
not mean anything to him. The Car
olina student showed that he did
not care. Harvard students care.
They gave six dollars each to their
charity drive. Duke and State stu
dents did better this year than we
have in the past. This year Duke
raised $2 each and the "cow col
lege" five times better than our last
year's effort by receiving an aver
age donation of $1.
The fact that a person can have
a feeling for people across the
world, or in a mental institution at
Butner, is not automatic. Like other
phases of life, one must be in the
situation and actually understand
what he is doing before it will mean
anything. Giving is an educational
process. I urge you to learn where
the Campus Chest money is going
and give it a test. Of course, every
body has given money for things be
fore, it's expected at many times,
but the act can have real meaning
for each if he will really ponder
over the consequences. It is a truly
profound act if seen as such and it
can be. It is a personal thing. Last
year I did not contribute a penny to
the Campus Chest and this year i
plan to give several dollars. The
change in outlook, however, small it
may be, was an educational thing,
and I consider the change well worth
the cash. Most people must examine
the . facts before they can feel any
reason for giving. I find that that
Campus Chest is representing some
worthwhile causes and I urge you
rot to reject it as you have done in
the past. College students as near
as Durham and Raleigh have found
themselves deciding to give to c.
lege . organized drives.
BILL BOWERMAN
W.U.S. Representative
I am very happy to have this op
portunity to express my interest and
to urge everyone to show theirs by
supporting the Campus Chest one
of the most worthwhile projects the
Carolina student body undertakes.
This year the proceeds go to five
worthy groups, and I feel sure that
anyone who gives it any thought will
agree that these groups provide us
with valuable services. This, then,
is our opportunity to provide THEM
with the funds so necessary for their
continuance.
In the coming week try to do as
the Campus Chest slogan suggests

erously." JANICE HALEY

Coed Rebuiffffec
By
6
Gentlemen,
Is Defended By Wuamett
So Miss T. J., you're sick to death
of the Carolina Gentleman, who not
only suffers from an enormous su
periority complex, but who also dis
plays an inferiority complex with
his constant apologies. You've found
everything that could possibly be
wrong with him, ranging from his
good manners to his sexual prowess.
Really, Miss T. J. you have certain
ly come to know the Carolina Gen
tleman well. By personal experience,
I suppose? If so, I dare say that
the few isolated examples that you
have come into contact with could
have been the best examples of Car
olina Gentlemen. With the ratio of
men to women as it is at UNC I fail
to see how any. coed could not find
a better date than your "huge gang
ly individual of mediocre intellect".
This hardly sounds like a fair de
scription of a normal human be
ing, much less the average man at
tending an accredited university. If
this is the best you can do, you must
not be much of a catch yourself,
kiddo.
Your editorial shows clearly that
you are tactless, conceited, and far
more hypocritical than you accuse
the Carolina Gentleman .of being.
Only an idiot with these vices would
attempt an assault on the opposite
sex such as you have attempted.
Yet, you seem to think you are ex
tremely intelligent, being able to
point out the stupidity of others. I
don't see how anyone capable of
losing their own shoe, while wear
ing it, can afford to call another
person stupid. In fact, I can hardly
believe that anyone with any intelli
gence at all would stoop to point
ing out the same shortcomings that
they themselves, are guilty of hav
ing. '
No, Miss T. J., I can't even be
lieve that you exist.
LeROY CURTIS
Dear T. J.,
I well understand your disgust for
the "Carolina Gentleman" for it is
similar to my dissatisfaction with
the Carolina Coed. In an article in
a recent magazine Jonathan Yard
ley said that the Carolina Coed, be
ing outnumbered seven to one, is
"Queen of the Campus" and SHE
KNOWS IT. Small wonder that the
more eager of the swains of the
campus are obsequious in lavishing
their attentions upon the conceited
"sophisticates" of the female minor
ity. I place sophisticates in quotes
because the average coed has neith
er the background, the talent, nor
the assets necessary for such a role.
She is snobbish for she can always
find a date, or, more appropriately,
she can "allow" him to find her.
The Carolina coed lives a life of
imitation, appearances, and concern
for the tinsel of life. She does not
concern herself with the true pleas
ures or values of life but only cares
to exist with the least inconvenience.
She wants to be on the go at all
times and hardly ever takes the time
to examine herself, her acquaint
ances, or her life.
You want to know where the men
are. They're waiting. Waiting for
the girl who is really concerned
with life. For the girl who is HER
OWN SIMPLE SELF. They are bid
ing their time.
JJI.J.
To the Editor :
Where have all the young men
gone? To Carolina?
Don't just sit there, boys, defend
jyourselves.
Show this carpetbagger T. J. she
doesn't know what she is talking a
bout. Show her that empty fifth of
Old Grandad you drank at that last
party. She can't accuse us of drink
ing cheap liquor. Pull those pants
legs up high and show her those
Weejuns you bought at Lacock's and
flip that lapel so that the Julian's
label stands out sharp and clear.
Don't let her slander us by saying
that we are Milton's snobs.
And she has the nerve to accuse
us of being conceited about our sex
ual prowess. Tell her about that
waitress you made when you were
home for the holidays.
Certainly everyone knows that a
pology is necessary. She can't real
ly expect us to be proud of our
shortcomings. How can we be proud
of the fact that we. work to stay in
school and can't afford the uptown
movies. Think of just nonchalantly
saying, "I don't have a car," or
puffing our chests and boasting, "I
don't belong to a fraternity." That
sort of thing just isn't done at Caro
lina, kiddo.
Tell her about that B you made
in BA 71 if she says you aren't in
tellectual and tell her about the
time you found your date's shoe
when it was three rows away. And.
above all, ask her what right she, a
northerner, has to criticize only the
southerners at Carolina. Everyone
knows that most of the slobs here
are really immigrants from the cold
er parts of the country (despite the
15 per cent restriction on out-of-state
enrollment.)
Have all the young men gone to
graveyards?
Don't just sit there, BOYS, tell
her the real facts of life.
