Mr. Leeds Carries Protest A Bit Too Far
We have noticed lately that propon
ents of the Civil Rights Bill before the
Senate have been growing progressively
more restless about the extremists with
in the Negro movement.
In the past two days, Atty. Gen. Rob
ert F. Kennedy, Sen. Hubert Humphrey
and Sen. Thomas Kuchel have criticized
some of the integrationists, specifically
the Brooklyn chapter of the Congress of
Racial Equality.
The leader of that group, Oliver Leeds,
has taken it upon himself to hold a,
"stall-in," whereby True Believers will
put just enough gas in their cars to get
them near the World's Fair site on open
ing day next Wednesday and then run
out.
The Police Commissioner of New York
City has said that this will produce the
greatest traffic jam in the history of the
city, as more than a million people are
expected to attend! the Fair on opening
day.
Leeds justifies his action by simply
stating, "We do not see why people
should enjoy themselves when Negroes
all over the country are suffering."
It is not only Mr. Leed's logic that we
question it is his common sense.
This is a crucial time for the Negroes
of America. The most sweeping Civil
Rights legislation in history has passed
the House of Representatives and is be
fore the Senate. It is quite possible that
a strong bill will be passed by that body
before mid-summer.
And Leeds decides to create the great
est traffic jam in history in an effort to
"dramatize" the needs of the Negro.
The Negro has been clamoring during
the past years for that nebulous thing
called "equality." He is nearer to it to
day than ever before, and it is time
some of the leaders of the integration
movement learned that responsibility
must also come along with rights.
We are happv that CORE'S national
office had the presence of mind to sus-

they will be able to soothe Mr. Leeds'
savage " breasts before he succeeds in
making the entire movement look irre
sponsible. Parts of it are irresponsible enough.
The Dirty Old Men And The New Greeks
A sudden and stirring change is brew
ing in the hallowed halls of Graham
Memorial these days. The change is best
characterized by a marked decrease in
the noise and the number of small chil
dren running up and down the halls,
and by noticeable increases in madras
coats, striped ties, and bright-eyed coeds.
With tongues well in cheeks, ve might
say that the "dirty old men" are giving
way to the "new Greeks."
Actually, of course, both these affec
tionate terms are unrealistic. You
couldn't truthfully say that the Blanch-ard-Ethridge-Lawler-Akers-group
was
old OR dirty, and no one is quite sure -
where the term arose (a dormitory
newspaper is suspect.) On the other
hand, the name "new Greeks" is nothing
more than a vague reference to the new
type of campus-conscious fraternity
member.
With the "old men" in power, how
ever, there were certain unusual hazards
to be dealt with in working for the
Daily Tar Heel or Student Government.
For example, there was the continual
threat of tiny tots invading the premises
to turn off the UPI machine or slobber
on the carbon paper. Irate wives were
often encountered (especially on the
phone), asking "When are you coming
to supper?" And more than once a
grocery list wound up in the SG files or
a DTH copy run. The atmosphere was in
some ways different (and in a few ways
better) than ever before. But now the
old men are gone.
In their stead we have the "new
Greeks," however new or Greek they
may be. Jim Clotfelter, DTH co-editor
during the 1962-63 school year, char
acterized them as the UP members who
would champion the dorm man's cause
in the face of the fraternity-or-nothing
domination stressed by the "Old
Greeks." They are, then, fraternity men
whose vision is supposedly not limited
to their own segment of the campus.

Let's look briefly at the new administra
tion and see if it fits the description.
First, there's President Bob Spearman.
As a Chi Psi, he is somewhat of an
enigma. During his career in Student
Government, he has borne the label of
an "All-Campus" mam He looks fra
ternity, but he talks Carolina. If the
election returns are an indication, he
may be more than the "dorm man's
fraternity man." He may be everybody's
man.
Next we come to Don Carson, Vice
President. He is precisely the opposite
t- : ' tt . ' j . . 4
ox opearman. ne is a aorm man irom
way back, working diligently for Resi
dence Hall improvements, yet on April
14 he received more fraternity votes
than any candidate on the ballot. He
might be termed the "new Dorm Man."
(These are rarer than hens' teeth.)
Holding down the Secretary's post is
Madeline Gray. She doesn't really fit
into the picture, being neither a man, a
fraternity member, or UP. About the
only connection that we can find is that
she is a Classics major, and therefore
she studies Greek. It must come in
handy. She won in a walk.
Last, but not least, there is Jim Light,
the new Treasurer. ;He is a member of
a definitely Old Greek fraternity, but he
has two things in his favor: (1) he has
great personal appeal, and (2) he is not
a politician. Whatever he may be in
private, at Graham Memorial he gives
the appearance of being just one thing
a treasurer. .
Oh yes, about your new editors. Some
one came in to suggest that we don't fit
into either category, so youll have to
think of us as the "new old men" or the
"dirty young Greeks" or ... something.
Letters To Jesse
The Voice of the South, Jessie Helms,
has huddled with his compatriots at
WRAL-TV and decided that it would be
advisable that they do something to
pacify the Federal Communications
Committee, which has. been nasty
enough to investigate complaints that
the Raleigh television station has been
presenting only one side of the picture.
It seems that Jesse will now devote a
certain amount of his editorial time to
reading letters from viewers who dis
agree with his controversial stand.
Great. But there are still a couple of
unanswered questions.
-First, why in the world did it take a
threat from a federal agency to awaken
in the half -sleep "VoiceofFVee Enter
prise" the sense of responsibility which
has been dormant (or non-existent) for
so long? Secondly, will oV Jesse still at
tempt to put in a "last word" following
the reading of such letters? We'd like to
know. .

Discrimination Not All Bad
Fraternities Own
Right To Choose
Editors, The Tar Heel: ,
The action of the Board of Re
gents of the University of Cali
fornia requiring fraternities and
sororities to sign a nondiscrim
ination pledge runs counter ' to
all intelligent thought on either
the fraternity system or the
problems of discrimination. The;
fraternity system has its exis-i
tence in giving groups the power .
,-io choose exactly with whom they v
will associate. The social frater-,
nity exists in order that one,
brotherhood miay say to what-'
ever individual or group it
pleases, "we consider ourselves
better than you, and it is our
desire to have nothing to do with
you; you are repugnant to us."
There is no more injustice in
telling someone that you do not
like him 'because he is black
than telling him that you do not
like him because he wears the
wrong kind of shoes, or is more
perceptive and sensitive than
you, or just rubs you the wrong
way. This action by the Board of r- jy r7 "
Regents is the first step toward JTl l.CLpp(l lilt,
making the fraternity an organ
ization whose members are To Phi Kappa Phi,
bound together by the fact that I want to apoligize for the re
their last names happened to fall action I have caused by my
together on an arbitrary alpha
betical list compiled by the uni
versity administration. Any of
ficial action by any such admin
istrative body will not alter the
fact that we are not all frater
nity desirable WASP's, even
though our only fault is being
undesirable in the eyes of those
who are already ki the frater
nity. .
Discrknination is not bad; the
connotation which it has today
may be bad. Ta admit 'that one
is being discriminated against
is only to admit that one is con
sidered inferior. Discrimination
amounts to selecting what one
considers to be the best. Only
by being the best and convincing
others that one is the best can
one avoid being discriminated
against. As Brooker Taliaferro
Washington said: "No race can
prosper till it- learns that there
is as much dignity in tilling a
field as in writing a poem."

Apologies To
letter. I meant no malice; it was
only a satire. But I am at fault.
First: Although I didn't mean
to slam Pi Kappa Phi, this is
probably a general knpressico.
So I have missed my goal en
tirely. I went after those in
dividuals who were heckling the
firemen.
Second: Although in all hon
esty I must affirm my belief
that the hecklers were on the
roof of Pi Kappa Phi, I cannot
verify this beyond a doubt. I
may have been fooled by the
acoustics of the building arrange
ment. Third: Instead of asking a few
questions, I played Crusader
Rabbit. Crusades are good some
times, but there can be need
less hurt if they go off half
cocked. Fourth: Just like many others
I followed the herd instinct and
(shall we say stampeded?) on
the Pi Kappa Phi lawn. After
identifying with mankind, I re
sumed my role as Godhead of
CVIallette Street, earlier having
tucked away the ageless truth of
John 8:1-11.
Mr. McLeod's letter hit me
between the running lights. I
made a public slur now I make
a public apology.

Spring has sprung and with
it, we note, shades of Griselda
have returned.
Griselda, for those whose
memory is short, was the first
pig to run for the position of
Secretary of the Student Body
here at UNC. She ran in the
spring elections last year.
Officiallv. her votes were
never counted,
but estimates
credit Griselda
with polling any
where from 600
to 50 votes.
Griselda was
whitewashed by
her opponents
but the unique
thing is that she really existed.
The grunting pig was led
around campus for over a week
by her campaign managers.
She was there for everyone to
see in front of Lenoir Hall, in
Y-Court, everywhere her ar
dent supporters even staged a
rally and march for her.
Griselda was, truly, the
common man's dream. She
didn't care what kind of clothes
she wore, or how she wore her
hair. In fact, she didn't even
own a pair of Weejuns. More
than that, however, Griselda
was the fulfillment of all those
who dreamed they would like
to. write in Donald Duck,
Mickey Mouse, Joe Palooka
and even Linus and his blanket
for co-secretaries.
Never during her campaign
was Griselda forced to speak
about issues in which she
didn't believe or of which she
had no understanding. She'd
just belch or r,queal whenever
she felt like it and didn't even
have to say ''excuse me" when
she did it.
It has been learned that a
group of Wake Forest students
are making plans to run a
billy goat against an unop
posed candidate in the election
for student body president.
The goat's backers are hav
ing difficulties in raising the
necessary capital to purchase
the goat, but we have faith that
these students possess the
ingenuity to find a means to
procure the necessary work
ing capital.
Cliff Lowry, a human being,
is the other candidate. I really
feel sorry for him.
Can you imagine how this
poor guy is going to feel if he
loses?
Just suppose his folks call up
election night to find out how
he did. What do you say at a
time like that?
"Well. ma. I lost to the other
candidate. His name? Oh, it
Billy Goat. No. he's not a guy
with a funny name, he's a real
live goat."
Knowing how far out the
whims of campus frolic can go,
especially during election time,
I have no doubt that that goat
is going to get a heck of a lot
of votes.
What If the goat wins? There
are going to bo an awful lot of
crazy things happening in that
student government office if
that goat gets, elected.
Letters written to the stu
dent government office are go
ing to disappear mysteriously,
literally consumed by the goat.
A visitor to the college, hav
ing just left the student gov
ernment ofTice, will return
asking, "I'm sorry, did I leave
my fountain pen here?"
"Yes, you did," will come the
reply, "but our president ate
it."
The goat may well cause a
lot of trouble, not to mention
the added expense of buying
him a chair that he is able to
sit in. He'll probably draw a
reprimand, not for walking cn
the grass, but for eating it.
Can you imagine the goat in
a receiving line when the Pres
ident of the United States
comes to visit the campus.
"Mr. President, I'd like you
to meet our student body pres
ident, Mr. William Goat."
"How do you do, Mr. Goat.
It's nice to see you."
"Ba-a-a-a-h."
There may be much merit
in running animals for some
of the public offices through
out the state.
Someone could run a bull
for Secretary of State for the
state of North Carolina. When
he was elected, he could write
a bill making it unlawful for a
hippopotamus to speak on the
campus of any state-supported
university. It would be safe
to pass a law like that be
cause anyone who protested it
would cither be a hippopota
mus or a hippopatamus-sym-pathizer.
After all, those hippopotami
always were a subversive left
wing group. They never do get
mad whenever they see red
like all good bulls do.
If you really got down to it,
you could appoint an elephant
as janitor for the Dallas police
station. Nothing would happen
to it because nobody would see
him.

Then there's the Roger Davis
doll it winds itself up indepen
dently, but the Elections Board
winds it back down again.
Simile: as tired as the student
legislators after the budget is
finished.
The build-up of Chinese forces
in the Sinkaing province may be
an indication of sinking . relations
with Russia.
The nation's railroads seem to
have gotten off on the wrong
track again.
About the only thing proved
by Goldwater's victory in Illinois
is that people would rather have
a man for President than a
woman.
Speaking of that Illinois pri
mary, Harold Stassen got a
grand total of 50 votes. He must
have one heckuva Christmas bill
with all those relatives in one
state.
Wisconsin Just The Beginning For Wallace
By ROBERT S. ALLEN
and PAUL SCOTT i
WASHINGTON Alabama's
Gov. George Wallace is setting
his political sights a lot higher
than most Democratic party
leaders and politicians realize.
By the time the Democratic
National Convention convenes
in Atlantic City in August, the
mild- speaking segregationist
seeks to roll up one million
votes in presidential primaries
throughout the nation.
While publicly working to
crystalize the opposition
against civil rights legislation,
Governor Wallace's private do-
micai oojective is to Dilp n
title i-m ninpfi . 4 j j . .
Indiana (May 5) and Maryland
(May 19), where his name is on
the ballot, and from "write-ins"
in Illinois (April 14), Massa
chusetts (April 28), Nebraska
(May 12) and Oregon (May 14)
Governor Wallace and his
supporters are shooting for a
Pitman To Address
Statistics Meetings
Professor E J. G Pitman of
the University of Tasmania wfll
address the University Statistics
Colloquium Monday at 4 p.m.
in room 265 Phillips Hall His
topic will be "Some properties

While in Chapel Hill, Mr. Pit
man will also speak, at the Bio

marks on the chi-square test"
tvs taut will be given Wednes-
"Lodge-type" surprise "write

only primary where President
Johnson's name appears on the
ballot.
They are stressing that a
sizable Oregon vote, along with
impressive showings in other
states, could have a major im
pact on the coming Democratic
convention especially the
choice of the vice presidential
candidate and the platform.
In private backstage talks
since the Wisconsin primary,
Governor Wallace is personally
expressing confidence that his
million-vote goal is well within
his grasp.
He argues that his campaign
strategists in Maryland and
Indiana report political condi
tions very similar to Wiscon
sin, where he reaped over
260,000 votes. His plans are to
pick up the remainder of his
million votes from "write-ins"
in other states.
If these political soundings
are anywhere near correct.
Governor Wallace is convinced
that the President and other
Democratic leaders will have
to listen to his voice at the con
vention especially since the
Kennedy-Johnson ticket won
by less than 150,000 votes in
1960. - . ,
Governor Wallace even hints
that if his views are disregard
ed at the convention, he may
be forced to bolt and form a
third party designed to attract
voters favoring his state's
riehts views.

day afternoon at 4 in room a cpt his vote goal last Sep-
of the Public Health Building. tember, basing it on the. re
ceipt of more than 1,300,000
"favorable" letters the past
two years in his fight against
the administration's civil
rights proposal.
Originally Governor Wallace
planned to enter primaries in
California, Wisconsin, Mary
land and Indiana, since most
of his mail outside the South
came from those states. Cali
fornia was mysteriously drop
ped from the list after Gov
ernor Wallace conferred with
Governor "Pat" Brown in
Washington during the Ken
nedy funeral.
While neither Governor Wal
nor Brown will reveal what
they discussed, one of Gov
ernor Wallace's political ad
visers said the Alabama gov
ernor ruled out California on
the basis of these talks, despite
the fact that more "favorable"
mail came from that state than
any other.
Governor Wallace hopes to
score big in Maryland since
neither Gov. Millard Tawes
nor Senator Daniel Brewster,
who jumped Into the presi
dential race after a call from
President Johnson, has taken
Governor Wallace's bid serious
ly. Until jolted by the Wiscon
sin primary results, Governor
Tawes had limited his cam
paigning to "ducking" Gov
ernor Wallace whenever he
came into the state to cam
paign. On Governor Tawes orders,
state highway patrolmen
escorting Governor Wallace are
making private reports on
Governor Wallace's campaign
activities. One recent report
noted the similarity of Gov
ernor Wallace's dark eyebrows
to those of former Vice Presi
dent Nixon.
Governor Wallace is using
the long-distance phone to per
sonally reach voters in both
Maryland and Indiana. In one
instance, he spent a half hour
talking to a former supporter
of Senator Estes Kefauver. Un
able to convince him to join
his campaign, the governor
asked his wife to come to the
phone to try to win him over.
In order to help Senator
Brewster, the White House is
offering both money and cam
paign workers from the Demo
cratic National Committee to
line up voters for the pro
Johnson slate of delegates
headed by the Maryland sena
tor. POLITICAL FLASHES
Robert M. Mullen, chairman of
the "Draft Lodge for President
Committee," is forecasting a
victory similar to that in New
Hampshire for the former
GOP vice presidential candi
date in Oregon's May 15 pri
mary. Mr. Mullen is so confi
dent that he is writing Repub
lican state chairmen and na
tional committee members,
urging them to await the out
come of the primary before
making known their prefer
ence. Mr. Mullen, a Washing
ton, D. C, public relations man
with offices in New York and
abroad, earned his political
wings barnstorming the coun
try for former President Eisen
hower before the 1962 conven
tion . . . Senator Edwin
Mechem, R-N.M., who at San
Francisco will head his state's
delegation pledge to Senator
Barry Goldwater, is privately
saying that Governor Scranton
is his second choice. However,
he feels that a Goldwater vic
tory in the California primary
will make him hard to stop . . .
Democratic senatorial candi
dates are quietly being urged
to play up their party connec
tions rather than issues in the
coming campaign. That's the
frank advice given them by
Representative Morris Udall,
D-Ariz., during a recent cam
paign "school." "People don't
vote on issues but the party,"
Mr. Udall reported. "Candi
dates should use issues only
for something to talk about.
Stress your party associations."
