Seat-Stealers And Card-Tossers : Every week two unnecessary events ' mar the fun of watching the Tar Heels : splash some unfortunate visiting team all over Kenan Stadium. i The first of these two annoyances, : and by far . the worst, concerns those ' people who knowingly take the wrong seats in the stadium. This results in much unnecessary confusion and blocks the view of everyone sitting behind the. seat-stealers when the usher tells them they're in someone else's seat and they'll have to move. If this practice continues, we urge Student Government to empower ushers to escort violators out of the game, pronto. There's just no excuse for such downright lack of consideration by .' this type of person. The second annoyance, or hazard, is heaving the Cardboard Club's colored cards into the air once the half-time pattern-making is finished. The prac tice ceases to be fun once you catch one ' of those sharp-cornered missiles in the head. If the cards must be tossed, at least rip them up into smaller pieces first. This is not only safer, it provides vou with more ammunition. Right, Tom? Right, Clarence. Right, Clarence? Right, Tom. Several of the most vociferous mem- : bers of the 1963 state legislature met in Raleigh Wednesday to begin waging ' their war in behalf of the little man. Actually it's not the little man these ' Senators are worried about, it's the little county and those little counties' imminent danger of losing political con trol of the state. ' All the to-do is about the "little fed eral" amendment to the state constitu tion, which will go before the state in a referendum on Jan. 14. The propo nents of the amendment say that it ' would preserve the balance in state representation. This is not just stretch ing a point, it is shredding it. The amendment is obviously designed to ; keep the balance of legislative power in the smaller counties and ignore the po litical rights of those heavily populated areas in the Piedmont "crescent. As might be expected, Senate Presi dent Clarence Stone is in the forefront of the clique wishing to deny the larger ' urban areas equal representation, and needless to say, Stone's political crony, Senator Tom White of Kinston, was also present at the war council. We don't know exactly what went on at the meet ing, but some of the quotes issued by Stone and White are classic examples of ? their brand of short-sighted, self -centered thinking. ; For example Senator Stone said : j "Whenever the balance of power gets . in big counties like Guilford, Mecklen burg and Forsyth, God help this state." ' "We've never got any leadership from those counties, only criticism from their big papers. Look at Mecklenburg, it has ' got Republicans and it has got Demo crats. They have hardly a single vote . in the House because they are so split up." What this means, we're not quite sure, but it would seem to imply that the delegation from Mecklenburg Coun ' ty is unable to ram legislation through ' the House because it represents such a : variety of political opinion that a solid ' bloc is not passible. Ws personally have i some reservations about whether this EDITORIAL STAFF " Gary Blanchard, David Ethridgs Co-Editors Managing Editors Associate Editor Photo Editor Sports Editor Wayne .

Stone then amplifies his sentiments by the following gem: "Us little fellows are being put out of the trough. I'm for Eastern North Carolina because that's where the Demo crats are." ; ! Enter Tom White, stage far right, say ing that the amendment is "an effort to keep the reins of government in the ' hands of North Carolinians." From these statements we can gather ' two things. First, there are no Demo crats outside of Eastern North Caro lina, and second, there aren't even any North Carolinians outside of Eastern , North Carolina. This is just the type of ' selfish, witless thinking that Senator Perry Martin obviously had in mind when he wrarned that the Democratic party is in real danger of being taken over by "Democrats not worthy of the ' name."

C Today was election day in many states around the country. That's the day when 50 of the eligible voters make an uneducated guess as to which of the candi dates offered will" take fewer bribes and steal less during their tenure of office. In Mississippi, they'll decide who had the slim iest -epithets, for the Kennedys; in Philadelphia, who will better keep the Negroes out of the way. On the surface, .Washington at the moment is rather subdued,' having tasted warm blood over the weekend, waiting for Rocket feller's Tiat to sail and thud, readying sagacious pronounce ments about today's elections, enjoying the full swing of " the fall social season, howling with delight at the mention of the sec ret word, Bobby Baker. The Bak er affair, by the way, is potenti ally one of the wildest scandals here in many years butit is generally agreed that buckets of whitewash are being stirred everywhere. Some top 'figures are scrambling for their political lives. Art Buchwald was already yictim of this week's perfect squelch. Coming up on the Press Building elevator yesterday morning with the Tass corres spondent, Buchwald, in a jovial mood, offered the Russian con gratulations on the wedding ov- er the weekend of the two Soviet cosmonauts. With perfect" dead pan, the correspondent turned to Buchwald and said, "Thank you, and congratulations on your Coup." Art admitted . the fellow C'mon Forum By PETER HARKNESS Has it occurred to anyone that there has not been one speaker on the campus yet spon sored by the Carolina Forum? This is a pretty terrible situa tion considering the fact that $2245 of your money and mine goes to the Forum this year, ap propriatecl by the Student Legis lature. In the past, the Forum has been highly successful. Last year, for instance, there were so many Forum-sponsored speakers the Legislature appropriated an in crease in funds for this year. Now, since the Forum has failed to - bring anyone to the campus, there is a danger that the legislators will react and cut appropriations for next year. Come on Forum, the Speaker Ban doesn't mean you can't have any speakers! had him there. Another item of interest to North Carolinians comes from over in Virginia. A fellow nam ed Barnes, running for the state house, included in his platform a noter of horror, that a com munist recently was invited and spoke at the University of Vir ginia. Barnes has promised to save the University from subver sion. I believe another leprous gag law is in the wind. But don't worry, folks, everything's going to be fine. Merely another iso lated incident, right? Yes, we might answer, but., what are we going to do that morning one day soon when we wake up to find those hideous rats suppurating in the streets; kill all our first born and hope for the best? All of you will be pleased to learn that your tax money is currently being squandered on a couple of zoos one human, one avian. The National Institute of Men tal Health over the past few years has spent more than $200, 000 spying on the indoor habits of newlyweds. NIMH construct ed several experimental homes with see-through mirrors, swear ing they honored the sanctity of bedrooms and bathrooms, then invited young moderns to be their guests, under glass ... for the edification and greater glory of Behavioral Psychology. Addi tional volunteers cso help me) are being sought. I suppose they are looking for red-blooded ad venturesome types, with slightly warped minds and a marked proclivity for untrammeled ex hibitionism. The other zoo project is only somewhat saner. Architects and engineers are constructing a great outdoors flight cage for the birds eagles and hawks ex Zoological Park. This will allow the brids eagles and hawks ex cepted to mingle freely with the zoo visitors (integration in the aviary!). As one architect said, in a candid moment, "It's not every clay you get a chance to do a zoo." Personally, I think it would be simply wizzard to watch" some of the New Frontier hawks and doves, of last fall's eyeball to eyeball fame, have at each other in the cage (which will have "artificial mist and rain to make the birds feel they're really out in the world living it up"). I can see it now. An Acheson hawk swoops down on a Stevenson dove, aiming for the jugular but missing, then flys over to the AIsopBartlett parrot, a known nesting buddy of the bald eagle. The hawk ruf fles its feathers and prances on the limb, deeply impressing the parrot, which naturally squawks and squeals. The bald eagle, however, sensing trouble a-wing, . shrewdly turns its back on the sordid mess. The fluster ed dove regains its composure, the blustering hawk falls off the limb on its head, and the parrot, of course, winds up eating crow. End of bestiary. Washingtonians are-rather av id readers, to change the sub ject, and lately they have been prattling and honking about Mary McCarthy's The Group and James Baldwin's The Fire Next Time, among other bad books. Miss McCarthy is a problem. She writes extremely well, has an acrimonious wit, and is cap able of maiming for literary life with one whip-lash of her critical tongue. Though I'm among those who read ner every word, it seems to me she is bitterly twisted in one area. Some one must have been the cause of what might be called a libidinous hysterectomy . when she was young, for her loathing of the male animal is quite vicious. One is hard-put to re call a genuinely appealing mas culine character in her books. And even she has remarked about one of her sympathetic creations, a character in her novel, A Charmed Life: "He's too sweet to be mortal!" Her other males turn up simpering, ignorant, parasitic or sadistic; if they begin to acquire admirable qualities, she will manage to castrate them eventually. Miss McCarthy, at times, might well have been more in her element on a sheep farm, (lagging the hogget (that's gelding sheep the hard way). It must be sad for her, though, knowing she'll nev er be as good as Dorothy Par ker. James Baldwin is a cat of an other stripe. F. W. Dupee, in that grand first edition of The New York Review of Books, has written the best review I have seen of the essays. Baldwin is another fine writer, a crisp and fertile essayist with a smooth style. But the important essay in this book ("Down At the Cross; Letter From a Region of My Mind") is an attempt at prophecy that stirs up bitter bile, in both white and Negro. It is maddeningly deceptive, as well, for much of what has hap pened to Baldwin as a Negro in America can only elicit com passion. But, finally, the appeal ends up being more useful to the extremists, and Baldwin has de feated his own purpose. I'd rather ' listen to Martin Luther King, Jr., he seems to be living more to the point, and his voice has a sad but clear By PETER RANGE Many students would like to spend a summer in Europe traveling on their own. The first step is getting tnere cheap. The answer: Graham Memorial student flights. In conjunction with Pan-Am and TWA, Graham Memorial is offering round trip flights from New York to London and return this summer at reduced rates. Round-trip fare will be $310 on all flights, as opposed to $500 regular price. All students and staff mem bers of the Consolidated Univer sity are eligible to join tEe flights. Four tentative flights have been set up: No. 1 leave New York June 9, return September 9. No. 2 leave New York June 4, return July 15. No. 3 leave New York June 23, return August 5. No. 4 leave New York July 22, return September 8. Student Klansnien Calvin Craig, the Grand Dra gon of the Georgia Ku Klux Klan, announced recently that 32 University students had joined the ranks of the KKK. Since that time there has been no record of open KKK activity on campus. But Craig has sworn upon his green robe that he has papers to prove these student Klansmen are indeed here on campus. Craig, however, has refused to name the new initiates and their activity, if any, is obvious ly undercover. It is a shame that supposedly intelligent college students would affiliate with an Organization whose purposes are based on such backward, prejudiced, un American concepts. If they did not fetel some shame or guilt in their member ship, these students should have no objections to having their their names made public. Craig's refusal to name them and their failure to make themselves known is an obvious admission of the Klan's ignoble aims. from the Red and Black Univ. of Georgia In order to determine rm.v many students are interested iri each flight, all . persons cor.s',d..T ing the trip are asked to sign up now at the G.M. Info Desk. No obligation is involved. Orig in February will the actual ap plications be sent out. Deadline for reservations wii! be around March when a ,?.7i deposit will be due. Full pay ment for the flight will be c;;m around the end cf April. No res ervation is transferable. Last year Graham Memorial offered the flights for the fir.-: time. About one-hundred stu dents took advance of the op portunity. A larger number f participants is foreseen this yc.-.r. Most students are unaware i the possibilities of traveling their own or with a sma'.Ur group not connected with an or ganized tour. Students travel sr.? in the summer is as common a sight to Europeans as baseball is to us. Hitchhiking, bicyclir.r. scootering, and hiking are a'.l very popular among students there. A student can travel by these means with more security than, in the U.S. because it is so wide spread. Girls and boys alike can do this. A summer in Europe need r...t cost $250 more than the trans ocean transportation costs. Some students have done it on ?lou. Accomodation is cheap if ymi stay in tie countless youth ho tels and student hostels covering Europe. Food is cheap if y a learn kf make your own food bought at the grocery store. No student need waste money on gift-buying, night-clubing. and the like. Save that fur your ok! age. With your International student ID card, you can get into thea tre, concerts, opera, museums, and student trips to distant countries at about one-half the regular price. In order to dissiminatc and supplement the information of fered in these columns, Graham Memorial and Seminars Abroad will soon sponsor a meeting of all persons interested in travel abroad. Included will be a brief slide show, a panel discussion, and a question-and-answer ses sion. Time and place will be announced next week. Currently by Fred Seely POGO The Indian Summer has left us and it appears as though we may be in for a chilly winter. Personally, I can't stand cold weather (I've lived" in Florida for nine years and was in Ha waii for two) and October suited me fine. Ah, well, one can't ask for everything. UNC is tTetter than . ever. Look at what happened lately: the Student-Faculty . Judi cial Review Board mess, the football, team won all its games, the Gag Law " may have been violated and Aycock's announce ment of his intention to resign, to mention just a few. The faculty decision about the judicial review board was done in such a miserable manner that the sumtotal of the whole mess could easily be a strengthening of the position of students and student government. Mr. Spech ar's offered resignation from the legislature was somewhat silly, but it is definitely a better meth od of attaining martyrdom than immolating oneself. I hope that the students will attack such problems in the re sponsible and experienced man ner of Lawler and Spearman, rather than leaping off the deep end with all the varieties of bitter pills. Student government is on the verge of realizing that foolish things cannot be attack ed in a foolish manner for ex ample, the sane approach to the gag law. And fee football team. Dur ing my first two years at UNC I attended exactly two games. Every other Saturday I spent on the golf course. This year I even went to an away game! The team has better than a 50-50 chance of playing in a bowl, and if they can get by Clemson, Miami and Duke we may well be sitting in the Orange Bowl come New Year's Day. If we lose one of the three, the Ga tor Bowl mightfind a place for us. And there are only eight seniors on the first two teams. I'm glad I'm just a junior.

This week a Soviet physicist spoke on campus, and nobody said much about it. Dr. Georg? E. Nicholson, head of the Statis tics Department, said that Dr. V. V. Petrov was not a member of the Communist Party, (hat it was his responsibility to worry about such matters and he had checked every tiling out. There has been no comment on the matter by any of the ban's sup porters, so this may be a pre cedent. The ban has no teeth, and everything may well be back to normal within a few months. Chancellor Aycock's decision to return to teaching saddened . many hearts. He had been under fire many times, but in the final analysis he will prove to have done a damn good job. Choosing his successor will bo a long process. Many names will be considered between now and June and the committee lias a wide choice. Perhaps the top candidate is Alexander Heard, former Dean of the UNC Gradu ate School and present chancel lor of Vanderbilt. But Vandy pays $40,000 and UNC is half that. Gordon Blackwell, for m e r chancellor at Women's Colle-" and present chancellor at Florida State, is another ouLsfandirv man, but I suspect he would ! !' to stay at FSU, which he ha made the top college in that slate. So who's it going to be? Well, try this one on for size Terry Sanford. Don't laugh too 1 ' h my friends. Staff members of the Daily Tar Heel yesterday voted 9-1 to abolish the Di-Phi Society. The resolution, proposed by Etadin Moladnu, stated "where as, the Di-Phi has become a bunch of people who get together every other Tuesday night to abolish something and; whereas there is very little left now and: whereas it is about time these people were abolished be it re solved that the Di-Phi no longer exists. The lone dissenting vote was cast by Sue Simonds, who said, "anyone as cute as Hubert Haw kins should never be abolished." Immediately after the vote was taken it was learned the YMCA had voted to aboli h Christians: Christian groups had voted to abolish DKE (for allow ing Negroes in their house:; DKE had voted to abolish Neg roes (for coming in their hou-e; and Negroes had voted to abulLdi 14 business establishments in Chapel Hill. Other groups were meeting as the DTH wont to press, and it appears that Chap el Hill will disappear by noon.
