EDITOR JACK HARRINGTON, BUSINESS MANAGFR Moore Lauds Carolina's Public Service Tradition From the Raleigh Times Governor Moore's message to the University at Chapel Hill on her 170th anniversary expresses well the Governor's feelings both personal and official re garding the University. He noted that he was sending greetings to "my alma mater" and to "her Chancellor." And, he noted that he joins the people of the State in looking "to the University for constructive and aggressive leadership in public education in our State. . . . The University has a noble tradition of public service to North Caro lina and to our country. . . . Let us reaffirm our faith and pledge again our full strength to insure the con tinuation of her good works for all our people." Those aren't the words of a timid man speaking about a University which has always been unafraid of controversy, and which has always been willing to speak out for all the people of her State. Those are the words of a man who glories in what his Alma Mater has done, and who is willing to shout those glories from the highest academic housetop in the State. Those are not the words of a man who would ac cept the counsel of the timid and the frightened and say that the University and her teachers shall be timid and afraid to speak out on any subject which might offend or irritate anyone. Those are, instead, the words of a man who seeks "constructive and aggressive lead ership" from the University. Those are not the words of a man who mumbles about subversion on a campus. They are, instead, the words of a man who glories in the "noble tradition" of public service made at Chapel Hill. Those are not the words of a man who attacks those who have and are now guiding the University. Instead, they are the words of a man who is willing and eager to send warm greetings to the Chancellor of the University. It is important that the people of North Carolina hear these words of greeting from Governor Moore to his Alma Mater at this particular time. They are in such contrast to some of the words which some North Carolinians have said about Chapel Hill in recent !.years1 They are in such contrast with the actions swhicE some North Carolinians have taken against t-Chapel Hill in recent years. They are in such contrast to the words of some apostles of timidity and weak ness of recent years. And, it is important that the people of North Caro ; lina realize that Dan Moore is not only Governor of f North Carolina, but by virtue of that office is chair :: man of the UNC Board of Trustees. His sentiments on University day then came not only from the Governor '.but from thechairman of the trustees, and that dual j voice gives unusual weight to his words. ; The call for constructive and aggressive leadership means that the trustees which the Governor heads as I chairman must have the power to operate the Univer sity in such a way as to make such constructive and ; aggressive leadership possible. Graduate Men, Rejoice! ; From PARADE Magazine At the recent meeting of the Endocrinological Cong ress in Hamburg researchers announced that baldness may be interpreted as a good sign of virility in a man. A bald head indicates that a man has a good supply of male sex hormones since these testostereones, plus the inherited tendency, are what make hair fall out. Hairy-headed men in many cases have just as many masculine sex hormones as bald-headed ones, but in addition have a different inheritance pattern. A man whose hair is falling out may cut the loss by having his supply of sex hormones reduced, but in do ing so would risk his virility. Prof. Vogt of Hamburg gave the paper on baldness and virility to more than 400 endocrinologists.

The cinecomedy involves the use of all the techniques of filming as instruments of the comedy, vehicles of the farce, which go beyond the stock variety of goofy ex pressions and gestures in, say, the Jack Lemon style. Four superb actors are in league with director Lester to create the most inter esting and imaginative cinecomedy seen in these parts in a long time: "The Knack . . . and how to get it," which opened Wednesday at the Varsity in Chapel Hill and the Rialto in Durham. The knack at issue is nothing more than the art of making women. Tolen the motor cyclist has it; Colin the school teacher doesn't. He wants to know how to get it. Rita Tushingham, playing mostly herself but called Nancy Jones in the movie, be comes the object of the knack, is chased up and down London streets and parks, proclaims herself raped, ascends to the po sition of princess in Colin's house, and fi nally shows Colin he has got the knack by falling in love with him. To make the slapstick complete, there is Tom, insane painter of walls, who acts as the third man with no interest in any of the girls and thus replaces the other wise necessary chorus in this drama (in deed it smacks of Aristophanes' Lysistrata as well as slapstick comedie buff of the French comic opera tradition). Tom's all white (including floors, ceilings and win dows) room provides the settirg for the Mike Jennings Major Carolina Newspapers Deny Attacks On University Four major North Carolina newspapers deny that they have attacked UNC over the Dickson case. Joe Stroud, acting editorial page editor, Winston-Salem Journal: We have not commented on the Dickson case. H. C. Bradshaw, editorial page editor, Durham Morning Herald: The Durham Morning Herald has not attacked the University of North Carolina in the matter of the Dickson case. This newspaper, in editorial comment October 3, was critical of the Honor System for not acting in this case. David Gillespie, Associate Editor, Char lotte Observer: We haven't commented on the Dickson case. Sam Ragan, Executive Editor, Raleigh News and Observer: Signs For A While?" PETITION film's most brilliant poses and shots. All that is commonplace and borrowed in this film (Keystone Kids-type scrambles through countless walls and doors) is re worked into such an individual style or camera technique that it is fresh and funny. And there is a great deal that is neither commonplace nor old. Perhaps the most effective scenes in the work are those used as the credits are shown in the very be ginning bevies of big-busted beauties, all of a Swedish imprint, lining the stairs leading to Tolen's magic room (where he exercises his knack). John Barry's music is a delight and surprise throughout. The editing is generally outstanding but sometimes gets away with itself; you can't follow dialogue, development or faces. The acting (Ray Brooks, Michael Crawford, Donal Donnelly and Rita Tushingham) is tremendous, but I was sorry to see Rita playing such a Tushingham role. The bane of being stereotyped by directors and pro ducers into a certain face, smile and ef fect on audiences may have befallen her already. Except for a few new flashes, it's the taste-of-honey-girl-with-the-green-eyes all over again. (But we all love her that way!) This cinecomedy is still essentially Ann Jellicoe's stageplay and you'd better look at it that way (like "Porgy and Bess"). Charles Wood's script gets weak sometimes, but Lester's direction and David Watkins' camera work make up for all that. It's all fun and entertainment and you get two art shorts (one abstract, one live) to boot at the Rialto showing. Highly rec ommended for tired students and drama buffs. The News and Observer has not attacked the University because of the Dickson case. The only editorial that might have been re lated to the subject was a commendation to UNC for eliminating the "double stan dard" as regard to rules for men and women. I cannot see any basis for attack on the University in the case. In fact, I can not see much reason for the uproar over the incident. In her speech before Student Legisla ture October 7, Sharon Rose stated that the University "is being attacked by every major newspaper m the state of North Carolina." In a statement released October 9, Stu dent Partv Floor Leader Don Wilson said there has" been "a deliberate campaign to get the present issue into the state press in order to further inflame the situation." The facts speak for themselves. 11 Letters To SDS Rebuts Maupin Article, Calls Meeting Monday Night Editor, The Daily Tar Heel: Armistead Maupin Jr., in his edit of Thursday, October 14, entitled "The Left overs" put us just where we want to be. If his analysis of the issues facing our University is the best the DTH has to offer, then we want to be left over and left out. Maupin is throwing sand in a sandbox avoiding significant issues which should rightly be the concern of "The South's Largest College Newspaper." Given an op portunity to write three editorials, what does he choose to turn our attention to First, a proposal to erect an angel on the campus in memory of Thomas Wolfe; sec ond, a suggestion to change a couple of words in our Alma Mater; and third, an attempt to red-bait UNCTs chapter of Stu dents for a Democratic Society and the na tional SDS as a whole. The first two editorials are innocuous and puerile; the third editorial cannot be dismissed so lightly. Its intent is clear: to insinuate that SDS is communist, or at least led by communists, or duped by com munists, or loyal to Lenin. Such insinua tions are categorically untrue. They hark back to the McCarthy era. They represent an attempt to blacklist an organization by innuendo, an attempt to avoid considering the important issues which SDS locally and nationally seeks to address. In short, such insinuations represent the worst brand of irresponsible journalism and the totali tarian ideology of the McCarthy era. SDS is a radical organization radical in the sense that it seeks to get to the root of problems besetting our democracy. And it seeks a democratic solution to these prob lems. To be radical is not necessarily to be extreme; but a radical analysis of po litical, economic and cultural phenomena is often unpopular or misunderstood. If Maupin would come around and talk to us, rather than red-bait us without ever inquir ing into our activities and program at UNC, perhaps he would learn something from our free-wheeling discussions and de bates. We talk about the war in Viet Nam, about in loco parentis, the role of a free university in a political state, and we are planning action this year on each of these issues and others. Maupin should know that facts have meaning only in some contest. The implied meaning of the facts he cites is that SDS is red. But it is possible that the New York office of SDS the one with pictures of Lenin on the wall has a bit of a sense of humor. And it is possible that loyal Americans Senator Wayne Morse, Nor man Cousins, Clark Kissinger, and others are quite right to question the legality and the morality of U. S. military inter vention in Viet Nam. It is possible that the reason the League for Industrial Democ racy cut off "SDS funds was the reason given to preserve LID's tax-exempt stat us and not, as Maupin "suspects" because they were "a trifle nervous" about SDS activities. And finally, it is possible that SDS this summer scratched a reference to communism in its constitution because of its genuine commitment to democracy a participatory democracy where men of all political hues could freely speak. If Maupin is interested in hearing about the SDS convention which scratched the reference to communism he should come to our meeting it's open to the public at 8 p.m. Monday in 205 Alumni He will there get the facts, in the form of reports from two persons who were at the SDS The truth, Mr. Maupin, is one thing, but the whole truth is something else again. Roy James McCorkel Jr., Chairman, UNC Students for a Democratic Society In Appreciation Editor, The Daily Tar Heel: On behalf of the officers, senators and residents of Scott College, I would like to take this opportunity to publicly thank the administration, Student Legislature, and the Men's Residence Council for their part in making the Scott College Social Room pos sible. Those due special thanks include Chancellor Paul Sharp; Dean C. O. Cathey; Dean William Long; John Bennett and Giles Horney of Buildings and Grounds; Mrs. Constance Beardsly, the University interior decorator, Russell Perry, Residence Halls Manager and Sonny Pepper, president of the Men's Residence Council. The Scott College Social Room was con structed in the basement of Teague at a cost of $3,900. It consists of two rooms one is used as a study room during the week and as a dance room on week-ends and the other is a well-furnished lounge. The rooms provide the basis for an ade quate social program for the residents of Parker, Teague and Avery. So far, we have used it for an orienta tion reception, a combo party featuring the Embers after the Virginia game, and a reception on University Day. This week end we used it for a mixer with Kiser Dorm from UNC-G on Friday and a combo party Saturday. We plan to make use of it as much as our funds will allow. Since the opening of the social room, there has been a significant improvement in the attitude and spirit of the Scott resi dents toward the residence college system. I feel that this social room will do more towards making the residence college sys tem a great success in Scott College than any other one thing. Perhaps though, the one most important thing about the social room is that it shows The Editor LETTERS TW Daily Tar Heel welcomes let ten to the editor on any subject, par ticularly on matters of local or Uni versity interest. Letters should be typed, double spaced and Include the name and address of sender. Names will not be omitted In publication. Letters should be kepi as brief as possible. The DTH reserves the rigkt to edit for length. that the administration and Student Gov ernment are sincerely working and provid ing money to make the residence halls not just a place to sleep, but a place to live and a place for enjoyment. I know of no other college or university in the state where this concept is given as much atten tion as it is here at Carolina. The adminis tration and Student Government are cer tainly to be commended for their work to ward this worthwhile goal. Robert C. Hunter, Governor Scott College Barbie's A Moll Editor, The Daily Tar Heel: In an editorial some days ago, the DTH poked fun at some Russian writer who ex pressed fear of the Barbie doll. DTH read ers might be interested to learn that it is not only the Russians who are concerned. The following is a quote from Dr. Alan Leveton, director of the Pediatrics Mental Health Unit, University of California Medi cal Center, San Francisco the quote appears on p. 29 of the April, 1965 issue of Ramparts magazine: "We are seeing children who are excited and disturbed by dolls like Barbie and her friends. With baby dolls, girls can play at being active, nur turing mothers and housewives; with Bar bie, girls learn to expect to be valued by an ever-increasing wardrobe and their abil ity to manipulate their fathers and, later, husbands, into buying clothes and more clothes. Boys are being seen in the clinic who use Barbie for sexual stimulation. Both boys and girls are introduced to a precocious, joyless sexuality, to fantasies of seduction -and to conspicuous consump tion. This reflectsrand perpetuates a dis turbing trend in our culture, which has serious mental-health complications." Lewis Lipsitz Chapel Hill Praise For Robl Editor, The Daily Tar Heel: One of the few bright spots in an other wise sloppy Tar Heel this year has been the consistently fine photography of Ernest Robl. Your headlines have been poor and mis leading; your copy is poorly edited and full of mistakes; your editorials are poor ly written and unimaginative; and your coverage of campus events has been sorely lacking. However, Ernest Robl has shown him self to be one of the sincerest journalists on your staff. He is not only a fine feature writer, but he is also an excellent photog rapher. Ernest works long and hard in tak ing and developing his photos, which are greatly enhanced by the photo-offset pro cess you and the Chapel Hill Weekly are now using. We have noticed that Ernest is frequent ly not accorded the proper credit he de serves for his photographs. He is your only photographer, but there is no reason why he shouldn't receive full credit for his photos. Alan Banov Jerry Garf inkle 550 Ehringhaus Miscellaneous Editor, The Daily Tar Heel: As a communist I find it shocking and somewhat humourous that there is such an ado here over your "Speaker Ban Law." Don't flatter yourselves, for in my humble opinion I cannot imagine why any lf respecting comrade would take it upon himself to try to lecture to you, fellow students. Mark Reed 1051 Morrison Editor, The Daily Tar Heel: Concerning the nurses, what is Barnard trying to do perfect a self-portrait? Clyde C. Edgerton 3C2 Everett Cartoonist Feiffer Intellectual doodler Jules Feiffer sug gests that the best way for a student to become a good drawer is "to join Students for a Democratic Society, or picket the; White House." Feiffer says that any good cartoonist must first be a good thinker. Of himself, he says: "I really don't like drawing that much, and I like it less as the years go by." He laments that 'there are no adult newspapers anywhere in this country." '.
