Just One More To Go For UNC We did not hold high hopes for our baseball team when it ventured into the wilds of South Carolina this past weekend, but they made us eat our words. They trimmed USC, 2-1, then got really mad at Clemson and took them by 12-5. And now they stand 13-0 in confer ence play, having wrapped up the ACC title earlier than anyone ever has in the conference's history. The team has everything. The pitching is superb, the batting is above average and the field ing, a big question mark this year, is tight as a glove. The final conference game of the sea son is Wednesday, when the Tar Heeii play host to the hapless Blue .Devils. The Durham nine has only managed three victories in 18 games, and their conference record is exactly the oppo site of UNC's 0-13. But, as we all know, records don't mean much when Duke and Carolina meet. Earlier in the season, when we had a 7-0 conference record and Duke an 0-7, the two went 14 innings before the Tar Heels pulled it out. And Duke will be ready for us again. No one likes to finish in the cellar (which is where Duke is certain to place), and no team likes to go through a conference season without winning a single game. So, what's the pitch? Well, the Wed nesday game is the final home tilt for Coach Walter Rabb's charges, and some one told us the record crowd at Emer son Stadium was only about 2,000. Look ing at those stands, we are sure they can hold far more than that, and we would like to see at least 4,000 Carolina fans at the game. It could be done. The game will be great, and there's nothing better than watching UNC smash Duke. See you there? . The Indiana Primary: Lessons For All The Charlotte Observer Alabama Gov. George Wallace had good reason for exuberance over his In diana vote total. But he engaged in bald overstatement when he vowed it was a victory so significant that "We are going to decide who is going to be the next president of the United States." Wallace proved again in Indiana that color-line voting is not confined to the South at least not for 25 to 35 per cent of the voters in Wisconsin and Indiana, But he fell slightly short of his Wiscon sin percentage in the Hoosier State elec tion. He did not do quite as well as he expected in a state where there were good reasons for expecting strong sup port. Indiana has a long tradition of politi cal conservatism. The Ku Klux Klan was a power there only 40 years ago. And Democratic Gov. Matthew E. Welsh, "stand-in" for President Johnson in the primary, is not the most popular gov ernor Indiana has ever had. According to a Lou Harris poll before the election, the President i3 popular in Indiana and is considered by a great many Hoosiers to be a prudent and eco nomical man. Had Johnson's name ap peared on the ballot, Harris said, Wal lace's percentage would have been slashed badly. Welsh, on the other hand, has come under heavy criticism because of a tax increase and , his spending policies. Wal lace benefited from this protest vote and a substantial bloc of Republican cross-over votes, as in Wisconsin. Though he assiduously avoided talk ing about civil rights and Negroes and lectured Indianans on states' rights in stead, Wallace's main purpose in. enter ing the primary was to generate anti civil rights pressure and possibly pick up a few delegates to the national con vention in order to "shake up" the top leadership of the Democratic Party. His vote total may, on top of his showing in Wisconsin, have some effect on members of the Senate in consider ing amendments to the civil rights bill, and certainly a number of clarifying and safeguarding amendments are needed. Also, he ran so well in two or three in dustrial districts with high percentages of Negro population that the Democrats had to adopt an at-large plan for con vention delegates. His claims of a per sonal triumph can't, therefore, be en tirely discounted. But there is in all of this, as in Wis consin, a somber note. It underscores again the national nature of the racial problem. And despite Wallace's soft-sell techniques, his mere presence in a state primary tends to pit one race against the other and feeds the forces of preju dice. Any trend that widens the racial gap at a time the country is trying to bridge it through law and voluntary ac tion is not healthy. It increases the chances that leadership and influence in racial matters will pass into the hands of Americans less responsible than those earnestly trying to end the dark night of discontent. Bug In The Rug The growing invasion of privacy by both private and public agencies utiliz ing electronic gimmicks such as the questionable lie-detector and the insid ious listening devices is a threat to America's privacy. The warning that the country is fast following the path of George Orwell's "1984" came on the same day that the U.S. Supreme Court reversed the con viction of a Norfolk woman whose pre mises had been "bugged" by police. The court held that such eavesdrop ping violated the constitutional ban against unreasonable search and seiz ure. This ruling should serve as a warn ing to both business and government that such Orwellian tactics will not be tolerated. And if laws are needed to call a halt to the spreading evil then Congress should see that they are enacted. Editor's Notebook (Continued From Page 1) along.

For I do see his point. He believes, or seems to, that if the women students social rules are changed or done away with, we can get rid of the social im maturity of the female members of the student body. But I think that, in the midst of his rather haphazard generali zations and pat solutions, Mr. Range has made a most signific ant and unfortunate error. He presupposes that the social im maturity of an individual can be separated from his academic or intellectual immaturity. But where the dividing line might be, he does not say. He merely as sumes that clearing up the blocks to social maturation will lead to the single state, maturity, with out a need for intellectual ma turation also. I say you can't so divide an The Frog Speaks By JOHN GREENBACKER Dick Akers, Clark Crampton and Armistead Maupin are pro bably the busiest men on cam pus these days, but they truely love their work. The boycott referendum is at last going to the students, and the hearts of confident conserva ties are fluttering. Armistead claims the referen dum's only purpose is to find out what the students feel about the boycott, and Dick answers those who say the referendum is purposeless with, "it's no more purposeless than those people lying down in the streets." Well, whatever their purpose, Dick's dirty, grubby beatniks are out of circulation now, ever since Judge Mallard found the ultimate solution to the demon stration problem. We don't have to worry about them any more, nor does Dick. WThat good the referendum will do as an indication of stu dent opinion is questionable, re gardless of its outcome. The academic year is almost ? over, and the legislative agenda ; only contains a few pork barrel j bills to take care of. The refer- endum will only be good for ; publicity, if it gets any. . The whole integration pro blem will be decided to a large extent in Washington by the end of June, and here on cam pus the incoming freshmen will not know of the .violent battles and opinions of the Class of '64. John Randall, an old SP sup porter, denounced Clark and Armistead bitterly. "You're try ing so hard to spit in Mike Lawler's eye," he charged. . John is very resentful of the whole thing, mainly because he recognizes the fact that Lawler and the old Legislature merely urged the students to follow their leaders' example. The boycott resolution was ot a pushy thing, Randall doesn't like the idea of Crampton, their way to try and condemn a Maupin and Akers going out of former administration for ex pressing their opinion in this area. Well, Clark, Armistead and Dick are going through anyway. They think the students ought to be able to do the same thing as the Legislature, even if the old administration is out of of fice. Final exams or not, the per sistant three are hard at work to realize their dream, and after a year of reversals, this may be their finest hour. Randall can only curse and go on, for even though vengence is only the Lord's these three have no intention of desisting until their object is won. individual as to separate his so cial maturity or lack of it from his intellectual maturity. The two are closely bound in each and every individual. And I would assert that the true re flection of a person's over-all lev el of maturity would be in the intellectual rather than the social vein. The behavior Mr. Range so openly deplores as "typically typical" of the Carolina coed is often merely a surface social politeness, inherited from our American social system. And neither conformity thereto nor rebellion against is necessarily an adequate and true measure of maturity. Instead, probably the most ac curate reflection of. -a student's level of maturity would be his attitudes towards the academic and cultural sides of the univer sity community. Here immatur ity is grossly reflected in student apathy, lack of intellectual curi osity (eg., studying only for a degree or only for grades), and a resultant wasting of a four year opportunity for personal growth and exploration. Social immaturity, I would claim, is merely a reflection of this intel lectual immaturity. And it is to this problem of Beagles, Hell How About Us Reporters? 9? ,0 0?- ! I 1 " Candidates 9 Glad Hands Headquarters: And Hot Coffee By BILL STROUPE Few of us get the chance to meet the gubernatorial candid ates individually. But I found out recently that it's easy to do the next best thing visit their headquarters. If you enter Raleigh the way I did, your first stop is at the Carolina Hotel. One candidate has several offices there, and you naturally pick the wrong one on the first try. As you get off the elevator at the fourth floor, you're lost but try not to show it. "Follow the typewriters," the woman operat ing he elevator tells you. The clicking leads you around a corner, where you see several women cutting up as though they are Carolina coeds. One of them tells you the campaign manager will see you in a minute. The door opens and you walk in. The man with blue eyes and blond hair meets you with a smile and a firm handshake. He says a few things you wanted to know, but nothing earthshak ing. You thank him for the in formation, he thanks you for dropping by, and you're on your way to the Sir Walter Hotel. The two other major candid ates both have their headquar ters there, so you might as well flip a coin to see which one to visit. As you enter the room, you find the people a little older, a little more somber. The recep tionist, however, has that same ready smile. As you're talking with her, though, you begin to wonder if it's frozen in place. You finally get down to a spe cific question. "Where does your candidate get his campaign funds?" She says something about pri vate contributions and then the conversation shifts to where one of the other candidates gets his money. Another man walks in, hears that you are from UNC, and asks, "How are you getting along with the Communists over there?" You laugh nervously, but he remains tight-lipped all the time that you see him. Meanwhile, the receptionist of fers you a cup of coffee. Since you're a coffee drinker from way back, you can't say no. She hands you an empty cup. You start to hand it back when she J says, "All we have is in stant." But it just isn't cricket to recant on a coffee invitation when there are no grounds for complaint. You choke on your coffee as she asks, "And who are you go ing to vote for?" "This is good coffee," you fib, and get up. to leave. She per sists in her question, so you con sole her with the fact that both of your parents are going to vote for her candidate. Apparently no harm has been done, since everyone is smiling as you leave. On your next stop, you find the campaign manager out. You talk with the man who is in the pub licity director. He admits he can't answer your questions, so you talk about UNC, where he graduated. "Yes, I remember the old journalism school," he says. "I remember taking a radio continuity course under Joe Morrison." Joe? Is this the same man you're thinking of? "Of course, I understand old Joe has gone big time now. He has his doctor's degree and all that." Yep, same man. He also mentions Stuart Sechriest. But, aside from these two men, the journalism school is not as it used to be. He tells ycu how the school used to be more informal, and you wonder if you were born 20 years too late. But when he notes there are now more girls in the journalism school, you decide 1943 was a nice year in which to be born. But, by this time, it's 5:30. He has to leave, and you have to get back to Chapel Hill. As you shake hands again, you tell your self that this man would win if people voted for campaign work ers instead of candidates. As you leave Raleigh, you won der which group of workers will see their efforts partially reward ed on May 30, and which group will win all the marbles on Nov ember 3. And it seems a shame that the people in two of the rooms you visited will ultimately see their work go for naught. WUNC Music Director Nixes KIX intellectual immaturity that think Mr. Range and other con cerned students should Jircvt themselves if they wish to strhe for an over-all uplifting of th. level of maturity here on . campus or on any other c;.rr.; ., in America. I do not pretend to offer ;,n explanation as to why we are beset by intellectual imma uirv and, thus, apathy. Nor do I pie tend to ofler a solution, as Mr. Range has so neatly done iT the problems of social immatur ity. Rather I have sought cn'v to point out another quite im portant facet of the basic pr !. lem of the immature stu!,- which Mr. Range has posed. It i. the duty of the university re im munity to face head-on all pects of what we, as stiulonx feel is a very serious problem and a threat to the ideals we hold dear for a university educa tion. On a second and quite differ ent tack, I wish to counter Mr. Range's implications that imma turity is only a problem amonr female students. He speaks of the silly do-noth-ings-think-nothings that are the sum total of Carolina coeds. But surely such a .perceptive and bright person as himself can not be wholly serious. If he docs honestly feel that immaturity and lack of intellectual awareness are rampant among females, I would like to hear what he has to say about the male portion of the student body also. On the whole, women's grades are hi sli er, and many females partici pate in honors programs. Using my own observations as a basis, I feel a higher percentage r.l female students than male attend cultural events too. If, as Mr. Range says, the immaturity of women as a whole is so dire be cause of their repressive social rules, why is it that male stu dents without rules show no more visible signs of intellectual awareness or of social maturity. I do not wish to engage Mr. Range in debate on this topic, for it is really irrelevant to the basic problem he posed. It is unfortunate, however, that he himself dulled the effectiveness of his articles by making wom en students the scapegoats in his attack on immaturity. By Gary Blaneliarcl We were gazing into our cry stal ball the other day and lo and behold, the darned thing ac tually began to work. We saw a bunch of funny nomena, as Chub Seawell ("Call your next case.") might say, which concerned a variety of people. Toe first face to roll out of the fog was that of a middle-aged man who's president of a small, Mid-Western college. Just barely discernible in the clouds over his head was the sign, "New Chancellor of UNC." The whole thing looked like a newspaper clipping from state newspapers later this month. As per instructions, we rolled the crystal ball three times to the right and three to the left (nonpartisan, you know) and here came the faces of Richardson Preyer and I. Beverly Lake, plop in the middle of the election re turns from the Democratic prim ary for Governor the end of this month. It took 3 few more wiggles to make one of the faces go away. The one that was left was sitting in a leather chair behind the Governor's desk. It was late November. The face belonged to Richardson Preyer. "It was close," he was saying to someone we couldn't quite make out. "I guess the people got a little tired of Lake's white horse and Moore's phony grin." Rolling the glass again, we watched as the somber face of Robert Kennedy came into view. He was taking the oath of office as President Johnson's Secretary of State. At 38, we thought? Then we recalled RFK's tre mendous success in his tours abroad a few years earlier for his late brother, the President. We Ed tors, The Daily Tar Heel: An excellent description of the state of radio in this area ap peared last Sunday in the article by Henry Mclnnis. The blame for the lack of civilized music on the local airways seemed to be placed squarely on the sta tions themselves. I am not sure, though, that this is fair. Tt has always been my observation that the radio and television media are a reflection of the cultural state of the people thev serve. Having spent three years in Chapel Hill and thus becom ing acquainted with the area and, through the representatives here on campus, the state of North Carolina, I am afraid that I can only conclude that things aren't too good down here. By far the majority of Univer sity (undergraduate) students who listen to radio choose "that station in Raleigh." That's all you hear when you pass by the f as FM radios are not as common ,i i a i r . dorms, and when your patn takes you by the fraternity area, its the same thing coming from juke boxes, and much louder. However, I haven't given up hope- Two other stations in Raleigh, on their FM service only, donate brief fractions of their broadcast day to classical music. A letter from Mr. Sam Blate. in May 6th's TAR HEEL brings op the question of W'UNC Radio in the picture. One of the primary purposes of this University owned, student oper ated station is to provide quality broadcast material, (meaning music mostly) to listeners how ever many or few, in the State -who care for it. Unfortunately, as Mr. Blate states, WUNC, be ing an educational station, is re stricted to the FM band. This means that the majority of stu dents, as he stated, are unable to enjoy the station's offerings, an animal as AM are. i However, it is also typical of most other college educational radio stations to provide the stu dents with its offerings via a means known as "carrier cur rent", whereby the signal is put through the telephone lines to small AM transmitters in the basements of selected buildings. For some reason this has never been seriously attempted here at UNC. There has been a lot of talk, most of it by studnt politi cians, and! one under-financed attempt in 1961-62 which man aged to reach a few dorms oh, excuse me, residence halls only to fall apart because of in adequate equipment. When eith er the Student Government or the University proper takes a decided step to bring the Uni versity's station to the students, it will go a long way towards raising listening standards by its remembered what a tonh mere existence on the popular me ne d when the going pot airways. rough, his tremendous crganiza- This statement will have even J-!f1,abi,ity' and his unceasing greater meaning next vmi- 4144 lur egro civil rights. WUNC, recognizing that the times it broadcast good music are roughly the same as those of the other FM stations, is try ing to expand its time on the air by means of special pro grams. The Beethoven, Bach, and Mozart "Spectaculars" this year were a start in that direc tion. The response to these pro grams are very encouraging, and we -will try to offer some thing similar on a regular basis next year. I am sure that we would have had many more students who owned FM tuners as listeners if your paper had not been so loath to make notice of them. Thnrman Smith Director of Music WUXC Radio 209 W.
