Sensitive, Mundane Nonsense
Believing that the one common
malady, of this generation of stu
dents is the tendency to too often
take ourselves too seriously, and
believing that student editors pro
bably suffer from this malady quite
a bit more than the average stu
dent, and presupposing that the
term-paper tremendums have tak
en hold of the entire student body,
we would like to dedicate this col
umn to all the swell kids who ap
preciate nonsense.
Granted, this bit of liberty will
offend some of you. You may de
sire a heady dissertion on the sig
nificance of the President's State
of the Union Address, or you may
want to be given some sage advice
on the state of the campus or the
state of the fight for all that's
right, but today you just won't get
it . . . it's usually nonsense anyway.
What we wrould like to speak
out for is the value and truth of
sensitive, hyperbolic, radically re
constructed mundane existence.
With a dirth of thoughtful, well
chosen, and perceptive phrases we
would like to search out the mean
ing of life's significant symbolic
satisfactions. No, not sex, but ra
ther, let us begin to comprehend
the immense ramifications of daily
existential confrontations.
This one we lifted from the
Greensboro Daily News, who bor
rowed it from W. E. H. of the San
ford Herald, who heard it from
Henderson Belk, who probably read
it in the Daily News, years ago.
It's the story of a young journalism
graduate who went to a small town,
bought himself a paper and install
ed this line over his front page
masthead: "We Aim to Tell the
Truth, the Whole Truth and No
thing but the Truth."
A year later, with what he must
have thought was a lifetime of ex
perience and having mellowed in
the interim, he changed the line to :
"We Aim to Tell the Truth but
Not So Blame Much as Hereto
fore." There is a delightful little book,
recently put out by JW Books, In
corporated, drawn up by a Jack
Wohl and Stan Rice, which goes
by the title of "Dolls My Mother
Never Gave Me." It contains a few
references to a number of local he
roes, such as: The Freshman Doll

Just Be Pretty
Has anyone been just a little bit
bothered by the apparent timidity
of female cheerleaders ? " It would
seem a bit confusing to see their
smiling faces on posters in which
they wear one shirt, and then to
hear that they object to wearing
an outfit that "looks like a cross
between bermuda shorts and a
grass skirt," and which comes well
below what might be called the
"shirt-line."
We would submit that with the
present group, they could get stu
dents to cheer if they wore burlap.
It seems part of our "too too seri
ous" trend, this degree of self con
sciousness. Just be pretty, girls.
And that you already are, so what's
the problem? (CW)
Bertrand
During the Peace Union-sponsored
film, "Power Among Men" Mon
day night, one student asked an
other if a 45-year-old peace march
er in the film was Bertrand Rus

didn't know what Bertrand Rus
sell looked like.
Which reminds us of an incident
in the Intimate Bookshop last sum
mer . . . One man, while glancing
through books on philosophy, ask
ed a friend, "Who's this Bertrand
Russell fellow?"
The friend answered quickly,
seriously, and with assurance, "Oh,

Most Carolina students are happy
to see the interest that State College
students are expressing in the pro
posal to change the name of their
institution to "The University of
North Carolina at Raleigh."
Several hundred State Students
crowded into a meeting hall last
month and in a noisy, if not rowdy,
meeting overwhelmingly voted to
ask the State Legislature not to
change the name of the school.
Usually one could not help but be
pleased to see students interested in
the future of higher education in the
state so anxious to attend a meeting
to discuss the future of their school.
But Carolina students are dis
mayed by the fallacious and emo
tional type of arguments that the
State College student leaders are
using to oppose the change of names.
Most of their opposition centers,
not around what the change could
mean for the future of the college,
but what sterotyped they have deve
loped about Carolina, which is
known offically as the University of
North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
For example one student mock
ingly said the only benefits State
would gain by the change would
be a reputation as a "good party
school' for "profound drinking."
He went on to question Carolina's
academic life. "Can UNC,' he asked
"boast of having the No. 1 school
of anything in the world?" The
course offered at Carolina, he
said, are "thickly coated with decay
and rust," not moving forward with

Law Review: Censorship Increase
"Campus censorship in 1962 easily
rivaled that of any previous year.
From coast to coast, and particular
ly in the Midwest, student bodies
were quarantined from a variety of
political heresies." This statement
was made by Professor William W.
Van Alstyne of Ohio State University
!Law School in the January issue of
the "University of Pennsylvania Law
Review." Professor Van Alstyne's
Article considers the extent to which
the Constitution restricts the right
of state universiy officials to bar
controversial speakers from campus.
The author points out that "a
considerable number of guest lectur
ers, formally invited to state uni
versity campuses by recognized
student organizations, have been
turned away by members of the
administration. It is significant that
those to whom the students were
forbidden to listen were very often
unpopular figures." Certain organ
izations, such as the American Civil
Liberties Union, the National Stu
rent Association, and the American
Association of University Professors,
have strenuously objected to this
state of affairs. The latter two or
ganizations have based their argu
ments essentially on policy grounds,
and not on constitutional rights.
The American Bar Association's
'Committee on the Bill of Rights,
however, "is of the opinion that 'no
question of the Bill of Rights is in
volved' where university officials
decide that spokesmen for the Com
munist party shall be denied access
to university facilities ordinarily
Gov. On Dixie Classics . . .
(Following is the text of a letter
sent by Gov. Sanford's press secre
tary to University President Wil
liam Friday, concerning the gov
ernor's statements on the Dixie
Classics. Also printed here is the
text of Sanford's statements. Eds.)
Inasmuch as there was so much
news copy blown out of a very small
segment of the Governor's news
conference yesterday, I thought you
might like to see what the Gover
nor actually said and the context in
which it was said.
Attached is a verbatim transcript
of the questions asked by reporters
and the answers by the Governor.
Reporters have asked Governor
Sanford these and similar questions
on the Dixie Classic since the sum
mer of 1961. His answer invariably
has been that the questions should
be routed to the officials responsible
the University administrators and
the trustees of the Consolidated Uni
versity. I trust this transcript will clear
up any mistaken inferences which
may have come from published re
ports on what the Governor said.

From Sanford News Conference
Wednesday, January 9, 1963
Question: Governor, the question
is asked every day as to the opinion
on whether the Dixie Classic will
be reinstated this year. What is
your thinking on this?
Governor: Well, you very fine
sportscasters might go talk to the
Duke officials and the Wake For
est officials and Carolina officials
and see what their attitude is on it.
One thing that people think a de
cision can be made somewhere
around this Square in Raleigh is
whether or not you are going to
have a particular tournament. Well,
if those decisions could be made
in that way, they would be a lot
simpler, but I suggest that you get
that answer where it must come
from the people in charge of the
athletic programs of Duke, Wake
Forest and Chapel Hill. I think you
know the decision at State or their
position. I can't make a decision on
that.
Question: The question was what
do you think about it? Will it be
reinstated?
. Governor: When you find out the
attitude of those of the colleges and
report that, I will be able to have
a better "think" about it.
Question: Of course, they are re
sponsive to the wishes of their fans.
Don't you think that if probably a
certain fan communicated his wish
es they might?
Governor: I think it is a matter of
fact that you will find those colleges
are very much opposed to the Dixie
Classic. I will say this that the
University officials are studying very
carefully some means of a holiday
athletic event, but this is a little
bit out of my scope and out of my
sphere and I think it would be im
proper for me to talk here in Ra
leigh about college athletics. I sim
ply don't have any authority to
make decisions in that realm and
I think it would be inappropriate for
a fan to speak from an official po
sition. Yes, 1 think they are respon
sive to their fans, but I don't think
they ought to be pressured politically
into making decisions on either aca
demic matters or athletic matters.
Those are matters for the college
administrators and J certainly would
respect them.
available for guest speakers." But
Professor Van Alstyne takes issue
with this position. He argues that
much of what the NSA and AAUP
urge on policy grounds is in fact
fully supported by constitutional
mandates. It is the thesis of his
Article that "the ABA Committee's
position with regard to Communist
speakers is wrong. Settled princi
ples of constitutional law require a
liberality in state university rules
dealing with guest speakers far be
yond what that Committee suggests
or what currently prevails on many
campuses."
After describing the prevailing Su
preme Court test dealing with the
suppression of speech, the author
points out that "Universities have
experienced difficulty with both
parts of the test. They have im
properly identified the kinds of evils
that are constitutionally within their
power to prevent, and have failed to
develop conclusive standards by
which to isolate speakers whose
presence on campus will probably
incite violence."
Professor Van Alstyne's major ob
jection is that state universities de
cide to bar speakers on the basis
of their affiliations rather than the
content of the speech they would
deliver on a given occasion. He
argues that a ban on speech must
be based on the content of the pro
posed address rather than the
speaker's background.
According to the author, a state
university may only bar a guest
speaker if the assembly which gath
ers to hear him "will intolerably
burden the school's facilities." Burd
en, in turn, is to be judged on the
basis of the time, place, and manner
of the proposed speech.
In conclusion, Professor Van Al
styne states: "Universities would
render a far greater service by
abandoning substantive limitations

the sciences like those at State.
These are very serious charges
school. Indeed, if allowed to go
unanswered they can hurt the very
cause of higher education at a very
critical juncture in the life of thee
inti!.utiorts.
Just what are the facts? Was
the State College student correct?
No.
Here are the facts:
Charge: Carolina is a party school
for profound drinking.
Fact: A majority of students at
Carolina do drink, but a surprisingly
high minority do not. Partying?
Yes, there is some at Carolina, but
it is carried on by a minority of
students, namely, thoe in fraterni
ties, which are only about a third
of the student body. State College,
one should note, is not one to be
talking on this score. Its campus
is lined by a series of bars and
taverns and more than just one
student has been known to "sip suds"
in the Hillsboro Street businesses.
It is also true that the fraternity
system at State does not have the
strength of Carolina's, but with the
aid of students from Peace, St. Marys
and Meredith, the houses there are
acquiring a reputation in their own
right.
Charge: Carolina has no depart
ments with a reputation for excel
lence. Fact: For example, both the poli
tical science and mathematics de
partments at Carolina are amon
the best in the nation. And the de
partments of English, business ad
ministration, journalism, chemistry
and sociology, to mention a few,
are among the best in the South.
Charge: Carolina has courses that
are "thickly coated with rust and
decay."
Fact: Most of the school's courses
and instructors keep apace with
the trends and changes in their re
spective fields. Hardly a week pass
es that several articles by Carolina
professors don't appear in national
journals.
What has been the attitude of the
Carolina student during this period
of mud-slinging? Look at what he has
not done. He has not called State
College a trade school because it
teaches the sciences to the exclusion
of the liberal arts. He has not snout
ed "cow college" because a great
part of State's facilities are devoted
to training farmers that go into an
industry which has to be supported
by the government to exist.
No. The Carolina student has not
done this nor will he.
For the Carolina student reconizes
the purpose of a technical school
like State College. Carolina students
will not indulge in name-calling,
or the trite cliches thta others may
use.
Until their mass meeting there
were men on the Carolina campus
who felt that State College should
be allowed to keep its name, while
increasing cooperation between the
two schools at the same time. But
few if any student at Chapel Hill
can now want to actively support
the State College students.
For most Carolina students be

on guest speakers altogether. Any
other policy necessarily expresses a
skepticism of student intelligence
and fear of the appeal of today's
social critics. Both inference are
contrary to the categorical im
peratives of a free society."
