I Hogwash There exists here at Chapel Hill and a couple other places in the state an organism known as the "greater" university. There are now three branches to this organ ism ; three corners to a sacred triangle of learning within which numberless generations of fragile Tar Heel minds have been nurtured and guided by the traditions of a great Southern institution. This capstone of higher education in the state and the South has not been created overnight. It has required the concentrated efforts of hundreds of brilliant minds to ac quire the magnificant libraries and brilliant staffs now at these three institutions. But even what we have is not enough it would be foolish, therefore, to attempt to create a new branch of this university in Charlotte. We cannot spread our resources that thin. It is better to have one great institution of three branches than to try to ex pand at this time. Hogwash. The "greater" university is greater only in the sense that it is larger than it once was. And it's about time some people realized this instead of reminiscing about the good old days when "father" Frank Graham was guiding the destinies of this ivy-covered tower. The facts in favor of further expansion are rather hard to dispute. 1. There now exists in the Southern Piedmont of North Carolina a city of over 200,000 people. Charlotte has no four-year college. 2. There exists in the state an over-supply of students desiring a college education. Many of these students have an under-supply of money. 3. A state university has an obligation to supply its citizens with an opportunity for higher education. Un fortunately, this obligation applies to the poor as well as the rich, and if the people cannot afford to come to Chapel Hill, the University must go to the people. 4. This obligation has best been met in other states by the establishment of university branches that get the job done with a minimum of costly frills. And quite frankly, we really don't care that it just wouldn't be done at Harvard or by the Greensboro Daily News ; a four-year state-supported institution is needed in Charlotte. Not a junior college, not a teachers college, but a four-year institution that is also a fourth branch of the university. It won't be cheap and it won't happen overnight. Presi dent Friday has acted wisely in requesting a thorough survey of all questions involved. We hope these surveys will be finished before the 1963 Legislature convenes But whether they are or not, it is time for the jnyth of old Chapel Hill and the "greater" "university to be flushed down the old well and forgotten. The "let them come to Chapel Hill" philosophy i3 just a "little less" than EWS Bill Hobbs CO-EDITOR Conservatives And CLEF Last Sunday the New York Times reported that a group known as the Civil Liberties Edu cational Foundation was mapping plans to improve high school teaching about the Bill of Rights and the idea of personal free doms. Besides the natural interest stu dents and faculty here should take in such a project, UNC has a uni que connection with this project since Dr. Frank Graham, former president of the University heads the group (C.L.E.F.) Dr. Graham's group is worried. It has examined a 19G0 study by Purdue University of the atti tudes of 10,00 high school students. This -study shows, among other things,' that one third of the high schoolers would abolish the right to circulate petitions and that 43 .either .favored .curbs .on public' speech or were undecided on that issue. The educators of the C.L.E.F., as the Times said, believe that freedom, to be preserved, must be understood and this is ap parently not the case among many high school students today. The educators also understand that besides preserving freedom, we must extend it to other peo ples through the cold war, and that we cannot do this if we do not know what it is all about our selves. The problem, then, is obvious: that American high school stu dents are not being taught the full meaning of the word "freedom" they hear so much about in their history books; and the implica Robinson's The world owes a vote of gra titude to Roger Price and Leon ard Stern, who have come out with a startling theory about people's names. These two professors have dis covered that you become the kind of person your name sounds as though you should be. It is all explained in "What Not to Name Your Baby," which was written and published by Price and Stern. As the title indicates, the Price Stern theory is that parents make their children what they are when they name them. For example, "Earl is a small fel low with no chin and a deep voice who married a big woman. (See, they're off to a bad start. Poli Sci Prof Earl Wallame has a strong jutting chin, a petite wife and not a particularly deep voice.) Mark and Woodrow are popular teachers at a Midwest ern college. Harry always knows where to get more Ice." On "Arlenes have big eyes and talk a lot. (Arlene Francis the perfect example.) Char lottes like to be a Pal to their men friends and wear heavy black-rimmed glasses. Gertrud es, when young, tend to have too many teeth and dull hair; but they improve themselves. By the time they're 17, they're call- APOLOGIES Last week's editorial fn the News was factually incorrect when it stated that administra tion officials had denied the use of Emerson Field to a town Little League because it was segregat ed. The official statement said instead that use of the field had been denied because of the con flict involved over integration of the league. The editor regrets this error. tions of the problem are equally obvious: that an incomplete un derstanding of freedom can lead to an incomplete willingness to protect and extend it., Dr. Graham's group is taking several steps to correct this sit uation. Next Friday representa tive high school teachers and uni versity professors will meet to discuss methods of "building the understanding of the basic free doms into the high-school curri culum." The group is also pre paring civil liberties, bibliograph ies, questionnaires and pilot pro jects in the field. In short, the picture, while not exactly rosy considering thePur- due study, is hopeful. But these hopes may be dashed. For there are those among us who equate "civil liberties" with "liberalism" and "liberalism" with evil. It has long been a con tention of conservatives that the educational system of this coun try is riddled with liberals bent upon indoctrinating the youth of the nation with their political ideas. This belief, for instance, is given lucid expression in a chap ter of William F. (Fair-haired-boy-conservative) Buckley's book Up From Liberalism. It has given vindictive and not so lucid ex pression in the McCarthy era when professors with varying de grees of liberal ideas were fired for their ideas. And the conservatives are not entirely full of hot air. In Buck ley's book, for instance, there Ramblings ed Trudy or Gert depending on whether they have become cute of smart." Dr. Price shows that when ba bies are first born .they are all about the same until given a name. The Baby acquires its per sonality and society begins to treat it as if it had the type of personality the name implies. The. child, being sensitive, re sponds consciously and uncon sciously, and grows up to fit the name. The book is filled with hund reds of names and the descrip tions of the people who go with them. ("Jerome always finishes what's left on your plate. He acts like he doesn't want to but is doing you a favor.") Price started formulating the theory when he was going to grade school. It was right after a girl named Carlotta, the local optician's daughter showed a preference for a tall, curly-haired athlete name Lance. He ex plains: "I could not understand why she preferrd him to me. I made better grades than he did and could help her with her geome try. And her mother liked me best. I finally decided it was all because of our names. He looked and acted like Lance, and I was pure 1W per cent Roger." I hope the general outline of this theory is getting across to you, particularly to Horace Sut ton and his wife who live in Vic tory Village. She recently had a baby and at this writing, two weeks later, they are still not agreed on a name. By consult ing the Price-Stern book, they can be practically sure of the child's future. Fortunately, the baby is a girl, for a boy might have been given the father's name, and according to the Price-Stern theory, every "Hor ace says he's going to make a long story short, but doesn't." are several entirely valid and ir refutable examples of liberal "in doctrination" practices in Ameri can colleges. . The point here is not whether there are too many liberal "in doctrinators" in' the colleges and high schools, or, for that matter, whether there are too few. The point is that Dr. Graham is a liberal, and that is entirely possible, or probable, or even predetermined, that conservativ es such as Mr. Buckley are not going to like the ideas of this Civil Liberties Educational Foun dation. It would be entirely in keeping with their past perform ances for conservatives to attack this group on the grounds that it is just another liberal organiza tion designed to propogate liberal ideas among students. And we will all be the losers if they do. We would suggest to the con servatives some alternatives be fore they go off screaming. First, we would ask them not to go into the matter with their eyes shut and their mouths open. From the report we have, the group seems to be a responsible set of per sons honestly interested in im proving education in a vital field. It is certainly no automatic fact that all .efforts by liberals in the field of education are designed solely to promote their own be liefs. Second, we wolud remind the conservatives that they should be as deeply concerned with civil liberties as the liberals. They talk constantly of preserving in dividual freedom, and here is an area in which they can perform a valuable service to preserving individual freedom. We ask them to interest themselves in this en deavor constructively, to join in this effort to improve the basic teaching of civil liberties. In do ing so they would also serve to give the program a balanced, responsible outlook if they believe it does not have one now. And we feel these points can apply equally to liberals. Maybe it seems like a small matter. After all this is a small group, and there are others of its kind. Nevertheless, it is con cerned with an extremely import ant issue, and if it can come up with some effective means cf sol ving the problem we will gain greatly. One thing is clear: the group wDl not arrive at any such means if it is harried and beset with the often absurd dialogue between liberals and conserva tives which clouds so many edu cational projects today. We hope that both the liberal and conservative men involved in education will not look at this project as a means for advancing their own ideological gain, but as a means for advancing the know ledge and understanding of the American student.
