C The YRC Bites Its Own Tongue The North Carolina Federation of Young Republicans is an organization that makes a habit of sticking out its political tongue at other, similar, organi zations, but in endorsing the state Speak er Ban law on Saturday it may well have bitten that tongue. Saying that any effort to repeal the law would do "irreparable harm to the cause of freedom within our state," the Federation voted 104-28 to support a 1965 platform which included a wholesale en dorsement of the law. The action was taken, however, without a word of de bate. " A spokesman for the group explained that the business session had run 90 minutes overtime and the delegates .were "tired." Thus all the platform proposals were adopted without debate. Our observation is that this is a heck of a way to run a political show, what ever your position. Having viewed the shouting-down match that passed as the Republican National Convention last July, however, we can certainly understand how such a thing could have transpired. We 'do not intend to debate the basic issue of the Speaker Ban all over again just because this group of obviously head strong Young Republicans has said they are for it. Anyone who believes in such principles as Trustee control of the uni versity and free scientific discussion prob ably feels, as we do, that the law is an abomination. We must infer, therefore, that such ideals are not in keeping with the immediate political aspirations of the state's Young Republicans. The essentially ridiculous nature of this action can be pointed out further when it is compared with the stands taken by some calmer, more forward-looking Re publicans. During the recent general election, GOP gubernatorial candidate Robert Gav in stood rather firmly against the. Speak er Ban law, expressing clearly his feeling that this was a piece of legislation that the state could easily do without. The law has been opposed also by sev eral top YRC leaders, and the YR's Col lege Council has spoken out against it. If such facts crossed the minds of the group that met in Charlotte last week end, they obviously passed through some rather arid territory. We might compare the situation to the actions of the older (but no less blunder some) Republicans who trumpeted trumped-up segregationist doctrines on behalf of Barry Goldwater. They won five Sou thern states that way, but they threw away the rest of the country in the pro cess. By their most recent staid, the state's Young Republicans have probably gained the support of a few die-hard arch-Conservatives, but they may have .thrown away the potential support of hundreds of college students who realize that "free dom" cannot be aided by external intru sion into the internal affairs of a great University. " Best Wishes To An Old Friend From time to time in the life of a newspaper there come phone calls or messages which bring forth an extra amount of concern or anxiety because they convey especially disturbing news. One such ominous occason arose Sat urday, when a phone call bore the mes sage that former UNC chancellor Wil liam B. Ay cock had suffered an attack brought on by some type of intestinal disorder, and was seriously ill in Mem orial Hospital. Anxious, disturbed ex pressions on the faces of staff members reflected the eagerness of all. to . hear that the 49-year-old educator was out of danger. That , word came Sunday, but later in the day a tense, three-hour emergency operation was required before Chancel lor Aycock's physicians . could finally an nounce that he was on the road to com plete recovery. On behalf of the. entire Carolina cam pus, we extend our wish, for a speedy and total recovery to the. man who steered our fortunes with skill and dedication for seven years. We hope that his absence from the faculty of the UNC Law School will be brief, and that he will soon be back in top form. Get well soon, Chancellor! The Knight's Long Days (And Months) s From The Durham Morning Herald North Carolina has received the bien nial pledge that this year's General As sembly session will be "short." p With history as our guide we suggest that no one take this pledge too seriously. It is a piece of cant as predictable as the appearance, of Secretary of State Thad Eure at the legislature's opening session.. No one is going to promise a long session. Even those, who foresaw such, a thing would accentuate the idea of keeping the legislature's stay in Raleigh as short as possible. This is not to minimize the value of keeping sessions short.

A groggy weariness sets in that can prompt otherwise sensible legislators to introduce foolish legislation and to offer foolish arguments on unfoolish - issues. All sorts of legislative sleight of hand can take place as a General Assembly gropes toward adjournment after an over ly long, time in session. Though much nonsense can be, tossed into the hopper as serious legislation at any time, it is worth noting that North Carolina's speak er ban law was an undeliberated 11th. hour product. So too was, as curious little piece of antilabor legislation which was produced some years ago, to exclude workers in this state from collecting un employment compensation even though they were thrown out of work by a strike among workers in another state, a strike in whiph, North Carolinians neither sought nor coujd expect any benefits. Certainly North Carolina must hope that every General Assembly will try to avoid the rayages of legislative fatigue as well as. the taxpayer cost of keeping a dawdling legislature in session. Yet the crucial evaluation of a. constructive- ses sion isn't whether the legislators go home tomorrow or next August, but whether they leave with" their important work well done. And ta that end, we trust the quality of performance will be more closely watched than the adjournnient, clock. By DAN HARTMAN Editors' Note: The . author is spending the. year. in.. France, as UNC's Paris Exchange Scholar. Interviews will be held this month for next year's scholar. First mentioned in Caesar's Commentaries, Paris, the "city of lights," has had a long, important, and fascinating, his tory. Even today as history con tinues to. unfold, Paris has ne ver lost her charm and mag nificence of the past, nor has she lost the dynamic spirit that is so characteristic of a city whose motto is "Fluctuat nec mergi tur" buffeted by the waves but never founders. Though she has undergone many, many trials during the last 2,000 years, she has grown, prospered, and become probably the most important and most captivating city on the Europ ean continent. And it is, here that one Carolina student i a year represents the UNC on' the Paris Exchange Program. V r Arranged, '.: in 1954 by the French Ministry of Foreign Af fairs, the program allows for the exchange, of two students be tween the UNC and the. Ecole Superieurs d'Electricite, ; one of electronics and radio-television communications in France. Founded in 1883 by the French Society of Electricians, the school began with 8 students who studied for only one year. By 1925 the. school had 225 students and, because of its" expansion, was moved into its present buildings in Malakoff, a suburb just south of Paris. . In 1937 the program of study "was increased to two years, and in 1963 it was increased again to. three years. As of 1963-64, the Ecole. "Supelec" had an. enroll ment of 616 students and plans , to construct . again, in the near future, a new, "more adequate building. ' In the spirit of this constant , expansion, the school instituted in 1962 a language program in order to give its students some practical and personal experi ence with ; a foreign ..language, No, Man, This is the Top Row of Woollen Gym, I i--, :,- - -"r f, At I Ji S ' h .11 1 V1 J- v i , ' , ' ""ilrt"fl'iTi.. ' ' ' I I,, v. . n , , - - a a much needed, complement to the more extensive scientific training. . The Carolina student comes to "Supelec" not to study, but to teach to work with the lan guage program, Mme. Lemai tre, the Carolina student finds himself in front of three or four classes per week, giving in struction in- spoken English. Though not a difficult task, it is extremely interesting,' reward ing and challenging, and offers a contact with French students other than the contact on the social leveL , But the Carolina student's tea ching duty requires only seven or eight hours per week, and thus he is able to pursue bis own studies. . . The most important school in France is the University of Paris, of which the most impor tant part is the Sorbonne. Foun ded in. 1253 by Robert de Sor bonne, rebuilt by Cardinal RicH. elieu in the 17th century, and now spread "all over Paris in ad ditional, more modern buildings, the Sorbonne continues to draw thousands of French, and foreign students each year. Although the influence of the Sorbonne is somewhat less to day than , in -the past, because of the increasing influence of the other excellent ' institutions of higher education elsewhere in France, it has played and con tinues to play a major- role in the development and the growth of French society. - But the. most fantastic thing in France is Paris itself, and being a 'tourist" here for eight or nine months never loses its fascinations City ; of a thousand moods, and faces, changing from day to day and with the sea sons, Paris has a variety which is astounding It is here, that the. best, things in life . are free principally walking. Though Paris is large (25,700 acres), one never tires of simply walking and looking. Nothing is more pleasant than a walk to the Eiffel Tower, across the Seine to the Palais de Chaillot, to the Arc de Triom phe, or along tha Champs Ely sees to the Place dela Con corde Then one can walk past Max im's to . the. Madeleine and on to e the Opera, and then back through the Place Vcndome to the Jardin des Tuileries which leads to the Louvre. If still enthusiastic, the walk er can, go to Notre Dame and to the 'Latin Quarter, past tho Sorbonne and the Pantheon to the Palais du Luxembourg and back to the tomb of Napoleon in the Hotel des Invalides. Then there are always Montmartre, the Sacre Couer, Pigalle. or the delightful Place du Tertre, painted again and. again by the local artists. For a rainy day, one can vis it the Louvre, which is indeed the most important art museum in the world. Besides the Moru Lisa and the Winged Victory or the Venus de Milo, there are major sections of Greek ad Roman art, Egyptian art, and some of the best works of such artists as Raphael, Titian, van der Goes, Bruegel, Rubens. Hals, Rembrandt, Van Dyek, El Greco, Murillo, Velasquez, Go ya, Chardin, David, Delacroix, Courbet, Gericault, Corot, In gres, Millet, Toulouse-Lautrec, Degas and Renoir a variety unequaled anywhere. For the impressionists, it k but a short walk to the Gal lerie du Jeu de Paume where hang the best paintings of Man et, Monet, Degas, Toulouse-Lautrec, Renoir, Van Gogh, Cezan ne and Gauguin, among others. For 20th century art, the Na tional Museum of Modern Art offers such artists as Utrillo, Chagall, Matisse , Rousseau, Braque, Picasso, and Le Cor busier. At night Paris offers the best concerts, the best theater (no tably the famous Comedie Fran caise), and the best cinema in the world all readily avail able even for the tight-budgeted student. Paris is indeed "a cen ter of history, painting, sculp ture, architecture, music, t h ?. theater, the cinema, or a city or simply having a good time. All of Paris, as well as all of Europe, is easily accessible to the student abroad. VV i t k. the continuation of the Paris Exchange Program, some for t u n a t e Carolina Student will have each year one of the rich est and most rewarding experi ences of his life.

Crisis Letters To The Editors Basketball Coach Boycott Suggested For Wake Game Editors, The Tar Heel: No one with the authority ; to remove, Dean Smith as coach of . our. basketball team appears to ! be taking any action, ; l - - - 1 Smith, should be removed, in my opinion, for lack of coach ; ing ability, especially concern ling discipline of the players, ; which is very apparent every time UNC plays (except Duke, : Vanderbilt and Kentucky be cause "they were up for these teams). What I propose, to show how I am sure most interested stu dents feel about this situation (UNC?s losing), is a boycott by the students (and faculty if they desire) of the Wake Forest game here next Tuesday (Feb. 9). This, I believe, is the first time this has been done. I'm sure this would draw enough attention to. get the ball rolling." The. two effigy hangings helped." Name Witheld Pedestrian Rights Need. Publicity Editors, The Tar HeeU Thanks for your picture of the ; new pedestrian lane in Chapel : Hill and appropriate comments ! in a recent edition of the Week Jly. Also, thanks to the city ad ministration for, the other re cently installed pedestrian lan ' es. Now: what can. we do to in sure that all of us- cooperate by using this new safety mea sure? In my, opinion unless we start using these lanes, our ex cellent safety record, will fall. Corollary to the use of these safety lanes by pedestrians is the responsibility of the motor ist. At the moment a great num ber of motorists in town seem to think . they have the right of way on approaching these lan es. They particularly have this attitude also when turning right or left across the pedestrian lane on the street on to which they are turning. ; Is it possible that we could have a well publicized educar tional program via local news media on the rights and respon- sibilities of pedestrians and mo torists on streets of Chapel Hill? And then could the pub licity program be followed with enforcement by the Police De partment? I believe it would be well- worth the effort in terms of preventing injuries and fatal ities, as well as providing good example training for our child ren, Clyde F.

It really poses a problem. The University is inexorably bound to uphold the Honor Code, and it is true as the Greeks main tained that "Man learns wis dom only through suffering.' But I believe everyone should be given a second chance. The. object of the home and of school is to make char acter not break people. This boy's, life is practically broken, for the present, at least. It ma kes me wonder if there isn't a way of making him realize the seriousness of his crime, with out virtually destroying him. The belief is entirely too pre valent today, that anything you can get by with, and not be caught, is all right, but there might be a little less devas tating way to get the idea over to the offender, that his assump tion is simply not true, that it will not be tolerated, either in in the University, or in life af ter he gets out into the world.

Published, by the Westminis ter Fellowship. 50 cents. "The. Identity Crisis" is the subject of this year's second vol .ume of "New Wine", published by the youtbi group of the lo cal Presbyterian Church. The 16 articles, reviews and poems in cluded span the. controversy of "identity" with an adept, versa tile hand, and the usual high level of writing we. have come to expect from this magazine is present again. A pleasing division of student, faculty and outside writers spark up the endeavor. New Wine affords the reader a chance to get acquainted with several student leaders, a pro minent faculty member or two and even a poet now 20 years dead. .. Although his article bogs down occasionally in a mire of overly esoteric passages j Dr. Clifford B. Reifler, a psychia trist at' UNC, contributed . per haps the most . outstanding piece. Entitled "The Anatomy of a Rebellion," the lengthy work traces the development of the "Identity Crisis" through a person's . life placing emphasis on his sexual side and need for gratification. "Often, there is a great deal of talk about sexual thoughts, sexual activities and sexual at tidues that are put out as trials balloons in an attempt to gain some consensus from one's peers, to see how it. "fits" or feels, or perhaps to bolster one's own identity as a component and attractive sexual object,"- Reif ler writes. Henry Mclnnls, a former Journalism major at UNC; writ es an impassioned, plea for The Need to Rebel." - It is a clever article, playing with the reader's emotions at every turn. Mclnnls deftly com pares Lee Harvey Oswald with the college student, saying, "Like each college student, (Os wald) had reached the point where he had to know, at all costs, who he was within him self and to make the world take note by any means be could." A poem by Dietrich Bonhoef fer, executed at Flossenburg, Germany, by the Nazis in 1945, tries to answer the question "Who Am I?" The reader feels the man's plight as he waits in prison, wri ting letters and poems to the outside world when he beckons, "Am I really all that which other men tell of? Or am I only what I myself know of myself?" And his powerful concusion: "Whoever I am, Thou know- est, OGod, I am Thine!" "Religious Identity in the South" is covered by Dr. Sam uel S. Hill, certainly one of tne most energetic and popular pro fessors in the University. It, like the others mentioned, is an ex cellent article. t A clumsy attempt to inter ject a light touch upon the pio ceedings is made by Joe Nagel schmidt, a local free-lance writ er, as he ties old jokes togeth er with a thin cord in an ef fort to tie, up a significant pac kage of "People and Labels." To say the least, we were un derwhelmed. After a sociological disserta tion on Identity and Equality (equality in this case means wo men instead of Negroes, a re freshing change) by Robert P. Althauser confuses the reader, we have something called "The Carolina Coed Mystique" tossed our way by Jane Dallen, UNC's coed Intellect-in-Residence. Miss Dallen writes her piece on the TCC in hopes of satire. All that happens is that "New Wine" gets some sour grapes. Harry Smith, campus pastor at the Presbyterian Church, contributes the best piece. Entitled "Playboy and the Ca rolina Gentleman", Smith slash es apart the superficial world of Playboy magazine with a delightful rapier. He satirizes the "Playboy Interview", using a Carolina Gentleman as the subject, and beneath the laughs lies a stern moral. Neither Playboy or the CG come out smelling like a bou quet as both squirm under Smith's ample wit. The remainder of the maga zine is worth reading as well. Particularly significant is a dis cussion of Homosexuality by Dr. Carlyle Marney, pastor of the Myers Park Baptist Church in Charlotte. Other articles worthy of note include "Black Like Who?" by Carl Culberson and a review of William Golding?s "Free Fall" by Marjorie Schrieber. On sale yesterday at Y-Court, the Bull's Head Bookshop, Ca rolina Coffee Shop, Kemp's and Lenoir Hall, "New Wine" is more than a run of the mill ma gazine aimed at the student. It is chamDagne amid a self of. Thunderbird, and certainly worth 50 cents. Fred Seely
