One Tradition We Can Do Without
Having a social snort during football
games has become as much a Carolina
tradition as class cutting, picketing and
poker, it seems.
Every football game finds flocks of
students, flask in hand, . charging into
Kenan Stadium ready to do battle with
the opposing team. And the final whistle
finds flocks of students charging out of
Kenan Stadium ready to do battle with
anyone.
Why drink at football games? There
really isn't much reason, when you con
sider the whole situation.
For one thing, the game is the start
of a long day, and there is plenty of
time before women's closing hours to
drink yourself into total submission, if
you so desire.
Also, why get drunk when we have
a good team? Don't give us any of that
bull about our 2-3 record the Tar Heels
have many victories left in their sys
tem, sand anyone who says they aren't
one of the top tetms in the ACC just
hasn't been going to the games.
Drinking at games is also danger
ous just ask the fellow who fell off the
.end zone bleachers last year, ending up
in Memorial Hospital. Or the fellow
who rolled down ;the stands after last
year's Miami game. .
Or the parents .of the child who was
JdUed by a drunken driver returning
from this year's UNC-State game.
Drinking at games is also good for a
one-way ticket to the Chapel Hill jail.
If you doubt this, just read the back of
your ticket.
So, if you have to .drink Saturday
afternoon, may we offer a suggestion?
Louisiana State and Tennessee play
on television Channel 11) that after
noon. You can have your drink and soft
chairs, too, if you watch that one.
The Bond Issue Gets UNC's Support
From The Raleigh Times
The president of the Consolidated
University of North Carolina has very
properly thrown his support behind the
campaign for the $100 million state
school bond issue.
President William C. Friday noted
that the "public schools and the Uni
versity of North Carolina are insepar
able partners in working for better edu
cation for our young people.". He added,
that "in a spirit of common effort,-the
" University joins with those1 who as
sembled in Raleigh"' by ".' pledging its
vigorous and active support of the state
bond issue to be voted on by the citi
zens of North Carolina on November 3."
The smallest first grade in the smal
lest school is just as much a real part
of the education effort in North Caro
lina as is the very highest level of grad
uate training in the University. If one
fails, the other is hurt. If one is strong,
the other is stronger. It is this feeling of
partnership mentioned by President Fri
day which has helped improve the edu-
cational system of North Carolina each
year during this century.
Our public schools are the real
sources of the University's power, for
that power must come in the long run
from the kind of graduates the Univer
sity sends out into our midst. If the Uni
versity sends out truly educated men
and women, its power will be felt in all
the far reaches of the State.
However, much of the final quality
of the University graduates must be
built into them in the public schools.
The University, good as it is, cannot
take the poorest kinds of material and
turn them into anything but poor prod
ucts of education.
If our public schools don't do their
jobs, the University cannot do its job.
That is the kind of partnership Presi
dent Friday had in mind, and that is the
reason why the University is properly
supporting this bond issue. If this bond
issue is adopted,' North Carolina will be
able to move ahead immediately in' - the
task of providing for the public schools
some of the thousands of badly needed
classrooms. If the bond issue isn't adopt
ed, the beginning of that task will be
slow, and there will be none of the ur
gency which can come only from the
state-wide effort.
If the badly needed classroms aren't
provided, the public schools can't do the
kind of jobs they must do if bur chil
dren are to be able to hold their own in
the fast-paced world of today. And, if
the public schools can't do their jobs, the
University system and our other institu
tions of higher learning can't do their
jobs with the products they get from the
public schools.
The partnership in education is so
very real, and means so very much to
all the people of the State. For that rea
son, the people owe it to themselves and
to their children to approve this $100,
000,000 school bond issue.
Atlanta-The Home Of The Brave(s)
The Milwaukee Braves, who once set
a major league attendance record in the
city that Schlitz made famous, have de
cided that the financial happy grounds
lie to the South, so they are heading for
Atlanta at the invitation of Mayor Ivan
Allen.
In some ways, it's sad to . see Eddie
Mathews, Hank Aaron and company de
part the shores of Lake Michigan after
so many good years, but the fiscal fact
is that the only way County Stadium
gets filled these days is by bringing Paul
Hornung and the Packers down from
Green Bay once a year.
Besides, the Southeast contributes
its share of major league stars to the
rest of the country (Willie Mays, Hank
Aaron, Roger Craig, etc.), and the fans

in the area deserve a chance to see them.
And you can bet that an area that goes
hog-wild over college football and auto
racing will provide the fans to fill At
lanta's brand new $18 million stadium.
So far, the only truly disruptive note
in the move came from two Negro team
members who expressed a desire not to
play in Atlanta. Their comments were
really unfair, and they should have given
Atlanta a chance to show its hospitality
before criticizing.
By far the most humorous aspect of
the entire move has been the commen
tary issued by the citizens of Milwau
kee. A virtual state of war exists be
tween the Beer Town and both Atlanta
and the Braves currently, and some
Milwaukee residents actually threatened
a law suit if "those wicked businessmen"
were allowed to "steal" their ball club.
The funny thing is that the Wiscon
sin fans have apparently forgotten
where "their" Braves came from. In
case our readers don't remember either,
it was this way: Once upon a time there
was this town called Boston, and it had
a baseball club called the Braves, whose
attendance had slipped. One day there
came to town from Milwaukee a group
of "wicked businessmen" who . . . but
we won't tell you the rest of the story.
North Carolina might want to "steal"
a baseball team someday.
Letters To The Editors
UNC Architecture. Criticized
Campus Warned
Of New Monster
Editors, The Tar Heel:
The campus has just been em
broiled in the raging debate be
tween the Carolina Coed and the
Carolina Gentlemen. With this
minor manifestation of our super
egos, ended, . it is time that , we
take guard against a terrible, de
structive, immoral . wave sweep
ing over this great University.. I
refer to the Mulshire Man.
The Mulshire Man is here on
this campus, right under our
noses. Few have become aware
of him because he aopears to the
unobservant as just another of
many status seekers walking
amongst us already.
Money is no object to him. It
is money that allows him to sat
isfy his materialistic desires and
his animalistic ego. He is bent
on destroying all truth, for only
truth hinders this agnostic in
the pursuit of his evil desires.
The Mulshire Man is no easy
enemy. He possesses neither feel
ings nor emotions. Once he gains
a foothold, of power he hungers
for more.
Coeds beware! He . is a sex
starved maniac who disguises
himself as a koziol guy. He must
be suppressed now, right here on
this campus for once the Mul
shire Man grows in strength it
will become increasingly difficult
to defeat him.
Because he represents every
thing that is the antithesis of so
ciety, I call upon you to abandon
your apathy and unite to destroy
this anarchist, the Mulshire Man.
Tiresias
Building Design
Needs New Look
Editors, The Tar Heel:
Mr. Nick Hancock's letter in .
SaturdayV "Tar Heel" expres
sing his views on the proposed
new buildings near the Wilson
Library and on Emerson Field
raises several interesting points.
To begin with, there is a de
plorable lack of student interest
in the architecture on the Caro
lina campus, regardless of wheth
er that interest considers various
buildings good or bad. Mr. Han
cock is to be complimented for
(expressing his interest.
I have not seen the buildings
on the State campus which he
describes and dislikes, but they
seem, from his comments, to
bear little resemblance to the de
signs for the new student union
and library complex.
Mr. Hancock's primary criti
cism of the buildings is appar
ently that, by being "contem
porary," they will not "blend"
with the other buildings of Polk
Place.
This is certainly true, but why
should they have to blend? Dey
Hall does blend, but then it is
one of the most grotesquely de
signed buildings on campus, al
most an exercise in planned inefficiency.
I believe that the intellectual
ferment which should character
ize a college campus should be
expressed in the buildings on a
campus. If these buildings be
tray no indebtedness to or aware
ness of the contemporary scene,
one wonders if the college itself
is as responsive as it could be
to the world around it.
Further, the only truly Georgi
an or Greek Revival structure
around Polk Place is South Buil
ding. Smith, Saunders, Murphy,
Manning and Bingham are only
warmed-over Georgian, the busi
ness complex is a sort of Babbitt
barracks, and Y-Court is an an
achronistic result of the Gothic
Revival.
The Wilson Library is the re
sult of a pathetic straining to
ward magnificence, not built on
a large enough budget for this
goal to be achieved: notice the
"marble" columns in the Hum
anities Reading Room.
The "bugle call" style of Mr.
Hancock's final paragraph is not
based upon a rational considera
tion of the meaning of tradition.
Before deciding to follow a tra
dition, one should first determine
the nature and value of that tra
dition. Both the University and the
world it proposes to examine
have moved beyond the simplici
ties of the colonial world which,
I agree, built the University's
best buildings. It is time for the
architecture of this campus to
begin to indicate this fact.

In Political Race
By PETE WALES
Associate Editor
The unfortunate part about the
present Presidential campaign
is its reactionary tone.
The Republicans are far more
conservative than ever before
and the Democrats have filled
into the middle.
The ensuing campaign has
been emotional on both sides,
and Americans have shown the
world, more graphically than in
past election years, how politic
ally immature they really are.
The New York Senate race is
an outstanding exception to all
this.

of as traditional American poli
tics. Perhaps it's a small bit of re
gional prejudice, but the cam
paign in New York appears to
us a much more sophisticated
one than that being waged in
the nation.
And perhaps it's not so much
the people who determine the
sophistication of a campaign,
but the candidates themselves.
Both candidates in New York
are fine men and highly intel
ligent. Both are steeped in the
political traditions and history
that have been behind America's
greatness.
Both have been campaigning
hard, going out to meet the
crowds, occasionally running in
to each other.
Both have an excellent chance
of winning.
Both are debating the issues of
the day. And it's not creeping
socialism or the infringement of
people's "rights" to be hateful
to other people because they
don't like the way they part
their hair.
Rather the debate centers
around real problems of the day
such as the different solutions to
the tremendous problem of rac
ial hate. The merits of busing
school children around a city to
improve "racial balance," for
example, have been disease!

net without its emotions, by any
means. No American campaign
has been. No intelligent Ameri
can politician expects to escape
a campaign unscathed as Gol
water apparently expected while
at the same time putting his in
nocent right finger on Bill Miller
for his running mate.
But the candidates are acutely
aware of the campaign tactics
and they know what the elec
torate expects of them. And they
truly compete giving the best of
their extensive capabilities to
the great effort.
The focus in New York is not
"what have we done wrong and
where should we reverse our
selves," but rather "where do we
go from here?"
This is the important differ
ence between New York and the
nation.
This is why the New York
campaign is so much more rele
vant to the American situation
than is the national campaign.
Johnson is a political techni
cian, running against one who
ignores traditional political tech
niques and insists on a kind of
unrelated idealism, as though he
has just read about it in a book.
Kennedy and Keating have the
techniques. But more important,
they are 'both thinking men.
They both command the intel
lectual . respect of the American
electorate.
And in New York, where the
national campaign makes less
noise, they have that respect.
Belly Talk Goes
To The Airways
THE DAILY IOWAN
The marvels of science which
have advanced the capacity of
the United States and Russia to
keep tabs on the activities of the
other are ever crossing new bar
riers in this field.
Not only can a "spy-in-the-sky"
watch the entire country via a
satellite perch, but electronics
now enables the cloak and dag
ger crew to track one another
on a very personal scale.
According to The Insider's
Newsletter, the latest gimmick
in the James Bond world is the
radio pill, a tiny transmitter
which has been made even smal
ler by the research and develop
ment division of spying industry.
It has been given a variety of
coatings so it can be hidden in
anything from tuna fish to liver
vurst. The pill was originally devel
oped for ulcer patients to swal
low so doctors could listen to
their gastric harangues. But spies
are dropping them into the
lunches of other spies who swal
low them unwittingly.
Once swallowed, the pill omits
a signal that is inaudible to the
spy whose stomach has proviJed
its home, but can be picked up
clearly by a receiver in a pocket
or purse 100 yards away.
Body heat can keep the pill
beaming for 48 hours and it can
be made to give a unique signal
so one does not wind up tailing
the wrong spy.
About the only way a subver
sive character could beat the
"pill" would be if he were to get
acid indigestion from the things
but this would only inform him
of their presence.
Although "pills" can be effec
tively used in the "spyvby-night"
game, they probably will gain
wider acclaim in the entertain
ment field used to emit those
radio waves of bad breath from
the mouths of people uninitiated
in the use of brand X gargle for
television commercials.
.Housing Rule Is Not Dead.
Yet
By JOHN GREENBACKER
DTH Staff Writer
Anyone who read the pro
ceedings of last Thursday
night's meeting of Student
Legislature was impressed by
two things, partisanship and
confusion, and we may have
more of the same tonight.
Any explanation of last
week's emotional encounter is
certainly subject to some er
ror, but certain facts from
Legislature's history may shed
some light on the motivations
and issues behind the last ses
sion. The first and foremost rule
in determining the Legisla
ture's actions states that the
University Party and the Stu
dent Party are very jealous of
each other, and any important
bill introduced by one party
will either be opposed by the
other, or the other party will
try to make it bi-partisan.
Lo and behold we have such
a bill. Speaker Pro Tern
Charles Neely of the Student
Party introduced a resolution
which praised the University's
recently reinstated non-discriminatory
housing policy. Stu
dent Body President Bob Spear
man's active role in the rein
statement, and any future ac
tions by the Student Body
President which might root
out lingering segregation on
campus.
It's easy to see that this bill
basically doesn't do much of
anything except pat Spearman
on the back and say, "We're
behind ya all the way, Bob."
Spearman is the leader of
the University Party and its
image man. When Spearman
defends moral and legal rights
on campus from his usual un
impeachable position, the Uni
versity Party glows with pride.
If you were the average Uni
versity Party legislator and
you had just seen Neely 's bill
for the first time, you would
most likely have thought, "Just
another cheap Student Party
attempt to horn in on the UP's
glory."
It is easy to see that whether
Neely's original motivations
were political or not was out
of the question at this point.
The resolution was doomed to
a cool reception by the UP in
Legislature anyway.
The record shows that in the
initial voting, five legislators
broke party lines. The SP
members who voted against the
measure felt . the resolution
was unnecessary and a rehash
ing of an old issue. The UP
members who voted for the bill
felt the pat on Spearman's
back was ' worth supporting a
SP bill.
But we must examine the
real issue underlying the en
tire controversy.
The University's old racially
discriminatory housing policy
was put in use this fall, so all
initial room assignments, ex
cept in the case of special re
quest, were made by race .
The policy was attacked from
a moral point of view and from
a legal one, as the University
could have lost all of its fed
eral aid for housing facilities
if the pobcy was continued.
Why, then was it enacted in
the first place?
The answer can be found in
the records of the Housing Of
fice. The University has had a
housing problem for several
years now, and an increase in
the number of students last
year forced the tripling of
rooms in many residence halls.
This year we have 600 more
students than last year, and
no additional space.
Housing Director James
Wads worth, therefore, is a man
with very real problems. It is
his responsibility to make room
for these new students and
settle them down as quickly
and comfortably as possible be
fore the pressures of the aca
demic year begin.
Wadsworth and the Admin
istration know-from past ex
perience that it is frequently
very difficult for incoming
white and Negro students to
live with each other, and there
have been many cases in which
segregationist students have
refused to move in with a Ne
gro on a temporary basis.
When you add to this the
problem of parental reaction
to such a state of affairs, it is
not hard to see why the Chan
cellor's Cabinet voted to make
room assignments the way it
did.
Unfortunately for them, the
cabinet members seem to have
jumped out of the frying pan
and into the fire. Not only has
the discriminatory policy been
repealed, but a new controver
sy has centered around the
problem of prior notification.
The old policy also notified
parents when their child was
being placed in an integrated
room, and there are many per
sons on campus and in the
Legislature that feel this
policy or something like it
would be a good thing to have
to avoid trouble.
Dean of Student Affairs C.
O. Cathey, when commenting
on this situation, said, "I
would like to see each student
have the room of his choice
with the roommates of his
choice so that he may more
quickly get down to the busi
ness of his education."
Neely's resolution had a very
significant phrase in one of its
articles: "The Student Legisla
ture therefore supports the
present housing policy of the
University which eliminates
racial discrimination in the as
signment of housing and re
serves solely to the student the
selection of roommates with
whom he can be compatible."
The last part of this sentence
pertains directly to the notifi
cation issue.
In Thursday's session, Stu
dent Party Floor Leader Ar
thur Hays criticized the bo-dy
for not even considering
Neely's bill, because Hays had
plans of modifying the resolu
tion to include specifically the
notification problem.
Many conservative and mod
erate elements of the Univer
sity Party want Legislature to
pass a resolution on the no
tification issue, but they cer
tainly would not like its being
incorporated in Neely's resolu
tion. This may at least partially
explain the rather cryptic pro
ceedings of last Thursday ni-ht.
The legislators know that this
issue is far from being finished
with, much to the agony of
Wadsworth.
Soon the Legislature may
expect to deal with a resolution
which will truly measure how
much the students want the
University to work as an in
strument of change.
