Ail Old Problem:
Canada And Criticism
Over a period of years the Toron
to Exchange has been one of UNC's
most criticized programs. A past
Tar Heel editor suggested the pro
gram be reevaluated or discontinu
ed. As much good could be done, he
said, by the 27 participants "form
ing a daisy chain and dancing three
times around the campus singing
'Oh Canada'. All participants would
then re-enact the orgiastic scenes
from 'La Dolce Vita' in the Forest
Theater . . . Finally, the group
would take a side trip to Carrboro."
As enjoyable as that sounds, it's
not all the Toronto Exchange is.
On both the Chapel Hill and To
ronto ends of the exchange there
are educational programs (last year
the UNC students heard a discus
sion on the pressures of Canadian
nationalism . . . One of this year's
Carolina discussions will center on
the student view toward racial in
tegration, and another program
will feature Drs. Hill and Natanson
on existentialism . . .) Additional
ly, the Torontans will have the op
portunity to talk with many of
UNC's top professors.
But far and away the most im
portant part of the exchange lies
on the personal level. This is where
real understanding can take place
among the 27 Carolina students and
the similar group from Canada. Un
derstanding of the UNC campus
and its students should be made
more realistic this year by the ex
ellent selection of the 27 the
group is absolutely the most amaz
ing collection of disparate person
alities ever merged into one body
(which will make it rather difficult
for the Torontan to figure out Who
and What is the Carolina student.)
. . . As the campus welcomes the
Toronto visitors, opposition to the
program seems to have vanished.
What about the past DTH editor
quoted above, you ask ? He's a mem
ber of the exchange program this
year. (JC)
Carter Case Warning
Judge Heman Clark's decision in
Raleigh yesterday that he would
rule on the legality of UNC honor
councils was encouraging.
He said he would pass judgment
only on the facts of the case a
decision which, in itself, does lit
tle to support the council's author
ity. If any student convicted by the
student councils and refused ap
peal by the chancellor and facul
ty, can then appeal to the state
courts, it would seem the council's
authority would be undermined.
No one can tell the exact effect
of Judge Clark's decisions, or of
the Carter case itself, until the
judge's final verdict is reached. It
also would be difficult to foretell
what actual effect this case will
have on Carolina's judicial system.
One thing, however, is certain:
The honor councils, and the uni
versity community as a whole, pro
bably will take their judicial sys
tem and the safeguards, and rights
granted defendants more serious
ly in the future. The Carter case
has put just a tinge of the "fear of
God" into "em.
. . . But we are glad the case act
ed as a warning, rather than a
death knell to UNC student judic
iary. As a warning, the case was
useful, as a club against student
self-discipline, it would have been
grossly unfortunate. (JC)
Aii Obituary
Several weeks ago the Daily Tar
Heel published the first issue of
the North Carolina Magazine, a
humor and satire publication.
The idea for said magazine orig
inally was written-in to the minds
of the editors by that personable
jnan-about-campus Mike Mathers,
a candidate for editor last spring.
Seeing the apparent student desire
for such a magazine, we decided
to attempt the undertaking.

The first issue was not well done.
In fact, it was bad.
Student reaction to the maga
zine, understandably, was adverse.
(Good to see the students are on
their toes . . .) The young scholars
with whom we have talked, ex
pressed the desire that the mag be
scuttled, that no new attempt be
made. In other words, their reac
tion was, "If you don't at first suc
ceed, don't ever try again."
If any students did feel the mag
azine was of potential value, we
haven't heard from them.
We think the magazine could be
made into a worthwhile addition
to the university community. We"
think it could be a high quality
humor and satire publication. But
apparently the students don't want
this and this is a student news
paper, run for and by the students.
With these thoughts, we an
nounce the untimely, however un
lamented, death of the North Caro
lina Magazine.

Merchants
Chapel Hill merchants are very

Yes indeed.
But walk into some of the cloth

try to get them to do alterations

Fat chance.
Their friendliness stops at the

To the Editors:
1 read with much interest your
recent editorial printed under the
caption "Pray for Brown."
In my judgement you showed con
siderable restraint in your evalua
tion of IMr. Nixon.
Presumably the AlmostJPresideht
and the AlmostGovernor will now
have to go to work. It is to be hoped
that Mr. Chotiner will give him a
job.
It is hoped so because if Mr. Nix
on is forced to enter business and
uses his political tactics he will be
fortunate if he lasts twenty-four
hours.
The time is now ripe for a grateful
people to thank the Almost-President
and the Almost-Governor by buying

would care to organize such a fund,
I would be glad to make a donation.

To the Editors:
I object to the practice of one or
two students being permitted to
editorialize in the school newspaper
to which student subscription is man
datory. I can see the value of a
forum for all students, but I can
not see why it is either valuable or
fair for one or two students, td ex
press themselves in the paper eve
ry day. True, the editorhip is elec
tive, but the choice is narrow; yet
even if the choice was wide, I could
not see the usefullness or justice in
that person's opinion appearing eve
ry day in the newspaper since sub
scription is not optional. In the oth
er dailies of the area the editors
daily express their opinions, but we
have the privilege of not buying
these dailies, a privilege we do not
have with The Daily Tar Heel. I
submit that the daily editorials in
The Daily Tar Heel should be elim
inated, or subscription to it should
become optional..
Wayne Spurrier
A New Literary Weejun?
With Mary 'McCarthy's impish ha
ha in Harper's, the battlements of
the J. D. Salinger cult are trembling.
But since there must be a successor
cult (American students, it seems,
read as well as dress by herds) the
British author, William Golding, is
moving up. That is just what Ed
mund Fuller says in a recent New
York Herald Tribune book review
"a vogue for William Golding on a
scale matched only by that of J. D.
Salinger."
It is most curious.
The Golding totem is a slender
novel called LORD OF THE FLIES
which so far has sold 311,750 copies,
mostly, one gathers, in college book
exchanges. Its story is allegorical.
By statement so direct as practical
ly to dispense with character devel
opment, or the notion that human
nature may have two sides, it sav
agely attacks the old (or should one
say, pre-Freudian?) notion of the
innocence of children.
The irony is heavy. Mr. Golding
sweeps us up in the aftermath of
a devastating nuclear war; Kind
hearted adults have sent a planeload
of school-boys away to make a new
life on an island at least until
they can be rescued, as they final
ly are.
The blunt point of hte book is that
even children, "innocents," are nat
urally too bestial to live together
without lapsing into savagery, tri
balism, murder, anarchy, the law
of the jungle. Despite the vain ef
fort of two boys to establish order,
this is just what happens.
LORD OF THE FLIES is a strik
ingly original novel, as minor nov
els go. But its categorical judgment
upon childish nature is so curiously
wop-sided as to make Freud blush
and Thomas Hobbes (who theorized
that life for adults in the state of
nature is "solitary, poor, nasty,
brutish and short") cringe. A furth
er irony of the book is that if one
accepted its sweeping view of hum
an nature,- one would, as Hobbes
saw, accept most of the argument
for the authoritarian state.
Why, one wonders, would Ameri
can students, fresh from the child
adoring Salinger who paints a world
where callous grownups smother ultra-sensitive
kids, skitter so capric
iously how to the camp of old Bill
Golding, who tells them that FreUd
vas understanding the case for
childish aggressions? Why don't
Golding's young readers rebel? Why
not call him a slanderer, a vile
propagandist against their title to
the presumption of innocence? One
is at a loss to say.
Maybe the high school and college
students who buy and swallow LORD
OF THE FLIES view themselves as
Junior Adams.-Or is it just that a
voguish but one-sided theory of hum
an nature can be slipped, like a sort
of literary Weejun, over the mind
without a moment's question whether
it is true or not?

To the Editors:
Of late there has been much criti
cism of Mr. Clotfelter's "editorials"
in the Daily Tar Heel. In the No
vember 13th edition, Mr. Clotfelter
was accused of attempted "brain
washing," slander, and other felon
ies. I am of the opinion that he was
not trying to brainwash anybody,
but was merely" expressing opinions.
If Messrs. 'Langdon, Dixon, Thomp
son, and Pope were really concern
ed with honesty, or (Heaven forbid)
doing something constructive, per
haps they should criticize Mr. Clot
felter's editorials, not Mr. Clot
felter himself. It is a test of a
man's intelligence if he can find
valid reason for disagreement with
an opinion, but only a test of his
ignorance if he must resort to
criticism of those with whose opin
ions he does not agree.
Sam Hunt
Poor Composition
To the Editors:
I think E. L. Smith's article in last
Sunday's Daily Tar Heel, November
11, 1962, has given freshman stu
dents a very good example of how
NOT to write a composition. Mr.
Smith's article is the best example
of using stilted diction that I have
ever seen in print. He could have
made his point much easier if he
had not written such a long article.
Most of the statements were super
fluous to the actual point he was at
tempting to make. Since 'Mr. Smith
went to such extremes, I feel his
article was a waste of three columns
of editorial space in the Daily Tar
Heel.
Douglas Mathews
Word Left Out
I left a phrase and a word .out of
the copy of my letter printed un
der "Honor Code Like Gestapo
State?" in the Sunday TAR HEEL:
The fourth paragraph was mean
ingless or, at best, confusing s
printed; however, the paragraph be
comes clearly meaningful when cor
rectly written as "A Gestapo sys
tem of policing acquires much of its
information through reports from
citizens who have been convinced
that they iriust report other citizens',
acts which are classed as damaging
to the state such as children in
forming on their parents."
'The heaviest cost is not paid in
guilt pangs, planted by Honor Code
bromides, ; . ." is correct for sen
tence two in paragraph eight.
Any errors were made in recopy
ing, not in logic.

THE ONE AND ONLY
REAL TRUTH
By BENEDICT BURR
College Newspapers today are
quivering in fear as the Great
Censor stalks the land, crushing the
tyranical press at state universities.
With the objective hand of truth,
he well, almost objective slaps
down the evil voices of insidious col
lege students.
Who is this Grand Inquisitor who
is saving us from such brazen fiends
as 20 year old journalism majors?
Of all people, it's Barry "Why -don't
- you - inherit - a - depart
ment - store" Goldwater.
Unfortunately, the good senator
is not applying his truth-discerning
powers to all editorials . . . just to
those which criticize, of all people,
Barry Goldwater.
He was successful in getting the
editor of the Colorado Daily fired.
He is now going after the daily pap
er of the University of Illinois.
It is encouraging to know that at
least one of our U. S. Senators is
taking time off from his regular du
ties to administer college newspap
ers. Maybe this is why he doesn't
have time for peace in Cuba, or med-
