A Matter Of Opinion
Yesterday the Daily Tar

ticles pertaining to Greek-letter
social organizations.
On page three, a story about
the Panhellenic Council be
gan: "Are fraternities and so
rorities losing their place in
the modern university cam
pus? "The Panhellenic Council
doesn't think so."
The fourth paragraph gave
the reason why. "We believe
that the fraternity - sorority
system is an important group
work experience which con
tributes toward the develop
ment of a sense of responsi
bility, a concern for the wel
fare of others and a deep
interest in good campus citi

The Council may well be
correct in its defense and ap
praisal of the fraternity - so

remember longer the lead ed
itorial, written by Associate
Editor John Greenbacker,
which explained the absence
of Editor Fred Thomas' edi
torials. Thomas was taken on a ride
by the pledges in his fraterni
ty. Two of these pledges, hot
and sweaty from their endeav
ors, came into the DTH of
fice shortly after the news
broke. They proudly announc
ed that they had shipped him
off to some unknown place in
Virginia. When Greenbacker
asked who they were, they de
cided that discrete anonvmitv
was the better part of valor
and ran out of the room.
Their names aren't import
ant. What they did is. These
quasi - members of the fra
ternity could have that par
ticular fraternity put on social
probation. And their irrespon
sible act serves as an indict
ment of the entire fraternity
system.
Taking people on rides is
not unusual in either fraterni
ties or dormitories, but the
University administra
tion frowns on the practice
and the matter is usually
hushed up as quickly as pos
sible. However, anyone stupid
enough to snatch the editor of
'Grinders' And 'Flakes'
Get Best New Car Deals
Next time you have a yen to
buy a new car, take your old
pal from the neighborhood ga
rage along.
You may be glad you did.
A UNC economist, who just
completed a novel research
project relating to car buying,
made his findings public to
day in Austin, Texas.
Dr. Gerald Bell concluded
that those people with little ex
perience in buying cars should
seek the help of a friend who
knows automobiles and how to
buy them.

the DTH an hour before dead
line has to expect a certain
amount of publicity, even if
it's no more than an explana
tion of the editor's absence.
In this case, it's bad pub
licity for an entire fraternity
system already under attack
throughout the country.
Reliable sources indicate
that the pledges have receiv
ed a certain amount of con
structive punishment within
the fraternity. They did work
around the house and receiv
ed severe lectures from sev
eral members, including the
president and the pledge mar
shall. If the dean of men feels ad
ditional reprimands are in or
der, we suggest he give them
to the individuals involved:
the pledges who kidnapped
Thomas and carried him over
the state line.
General punishment of the
whole fraternity or the entire
fraternity system will serve
no purpose. Only until pledges
realize that they are individ
ually responsible for their acts
in college as well as in the
outside world will they be
gin to realize the Panhellenic
Council's dream: the develop
ment of a -sense of responsibil
ity and a concern for the wel
fare of others.
"And if you are not already
a 'grinder' you should work to
become one before you start to
buy a car," Bell said.
He identified a "grinder" as
one who knows how to put up
a good defense as well unleash
a strong offense when dealing
with a car salesman.
The term "grinder" is one
given by salesmen to those
who know how to put up a
good sales fight. At the other
extreme are the "flakes" who
know nothing about cars and
believe everything salesmen
tell them. They have the least
sales resistance, Bell's re
search showed.
Of the two groups, the
"grinders" get the best auto
buys, Bell said, because of
their fight. But the "flakes" do
almost as well.
"Salesmen feel sorry for the
'flakes,' " Bell reported. "And
because they do, they are more
likely to give them some , of
the extras that- the .'grinders',
fight so hard for. Little things
like floor mats," wheel covers'
or maybe deluxe appoint
ments." The guy who really catches
it is the average guy who tries
to buy a car without a pur
chase pal, Bell says. He's the
easiest to sell. He knows just
enough about cars to agree with
the salesman that the trade
being offered him is a good
one.
And this is the kind of guy
the salesman will "take," he
says.
The salesman's attitude
seems to become "Sorry, old
buddy, but I've got to make a
aoiiar somewnere and you
seem to be a soft touch."
Bell warns the car buying
public, "Don't underestimate
an automobile salesman. Most
of them are good actors, and
the successful ones are good
judges of personality."
Bell's research was conduct
ed last summer on the West
Coast during June, July and
August during which time he
interviewed 234 new car buy
ers. The 234 represented 81 per
cent of those who purchased
new automobiles from a single
dealer. During this same pe
riod he interviewed the firm's
20 salesmen daily.
He presented his findings be
fore the Symposium on Con
sumer Behavior at which six
other university professors pre
sented research findings.

'Does Your Socid
Bother Ya, Bunky?
CHARLOTTE (AP) You
may be sicker than you think
especially if you aren't sick.
Your "socid" may be bother
ing you, Dr. Robert Collier
Page said in Charlotte today.
What is your socid?
"That's your body, spirit
and mind you house, your
job, your spouse, your likes
and dislikes. It all adds up to
you," Dr. Page said.
Sickness of your socid is a
lot more common than cancer
and most other diseases.
It may show up in a bad
cold and cause you to tell your
boss you're sick and won't be
in.
One of the primary causes of
socid sickness is basically dis
liking your work, said Dr. Page
who has written a book en
titled "Occupational Health and
Mantealent Development."
"Work is generally the most
important aspect of a person's
life," he said,
"How can a person tell if he
is happy. in.bis voj-k? He should
do what he likes ;tOido and
what he knows he can do well."
This doesn't mean that work
should never include "scut
work."
"Any chap who wants to get
ahead will do two days of scut
work to enable him to work
three days on things that he
really wants to do. It's all in
your attitude," Dr. Page said.
But if you spend the decade
of your twenties in a job you
dislike, "the years slide by and
when you hit 30 you're gone.
"At 30 a person becomes
pretty rigid. If he or she
doesn't like his work, he be
comes a drone."
It may be appearing in "bad
drinking habits" that will lead
you to alcoholism, the doctor
said.
Or emotional conflicts that
will put you in a mental hos
pital. Or obesity that will end
in heart attacks.
Especially if you're in the
seemingly healthy period of
life between 22 and 32 years of
age, you ought to take note.
For sickness of the socid
often begins its "slow and in
siduous onset" during this pe
riod, said Dr. Page, author of
several popular medical books
who has been medical con
sultant for several leading
American firms.
The disease of the future is
"boredom," he said:
"Everybody is living longer
and money isn't the real prob-.
lem. What to do with your
time is the demon."
How can sickness of the so
cid be avoided?
"It's a preventive thing "
Dr. Page said. "Medicine

maintaining health, rather
than curing illness.
"Labor, management and
medicine must sit down and
talk about health. There has
got to be teamwork.
"A lot will fall back into the
lap of the individual. But in
dustry should fit the job to the
men not the man to the
job."

BOAC Cancels
Seven Flights
Of Boeing 707s
LONDON (AP) British
Overseas Airways Corp.
(BOAC) today announced find
ing hairline cracks in the tail
assemblies of four, of its Boe
ing 707 jet . airliners. Seven
flights to New York and the
Far East were cancelled.
The cracks were discovered
during a worldwide examina
tion of the big jets. The exam
inations were ordered by their,
American manufacturers and
the U. S. Federal Aviation Ag
ency following the March 5
crash of a BOAC 707 on the
slopes Mt. Fujiyama, in which
124 persons lost their lives.
This was the third crash in
volving 707s in six months.
BOAC said a fifth plane of
its fleet of '19 707s was sus
pected of having a crack and
a sixth was being examined
with special electrical equip
ment. A BOAC spokesman said
that only a small part in the
tail assembly must be replaced
but "it is a lengthy job." The
first crack was found Friday,
he said, and Boeing supplied
a replacement yesterday. It
will take about a week to in
stall. "We have replacement parts
for two other Boeings but we
have to get a new part for
the fourth and possibly for a
fifth," he said.
BOAC cancelled seven flights
between now and Saturday, in
cluding two from London to
New York and two from New
York to London.
In announcing the examina
tions, Boeing said there was
no danger in the small cracks,
which were found in some of
the two seel forged rear fit
tings that hold the vertical tail
assembly to the body of the
plane.
Boeing said extensive tests
showed the fittings more than
met flight requirements. It
added that the cracks were
limited to the two top bolts of
20 bolts in the fitting.

Obscene Phone
Caller Convieted
CHARLOTTE (AP) Ron
ald Maxie Coleman, 31, of
Charlotte was sentenced Tues
day to 18 to 24 months after
being convicted in Superior
Court of making an obscene
telephone call.
The jury of six women and
six men returned the verdict
after considering the evidence
about 15 minutes.
Sgt. C. W. Ross testified
Coleman was arrested last De
cember after police had set up
a special telephone with a de
vice which emits sound waves
and allows a telephone com
pany to trace calls if the re
ceiving person doesn t hang
up. He said the telephone com
pany and The Charlotte Ob
server cooperated in the enter
prise.
Ross said a phony classified
advertisement was inserted in
the newspaper, offering a mink
stole for sale. The telephone
number was that of the special
telephone at headquarters.
Mrs. Mary Thompson, a po
lice department employe, tes
tified Coleman dialed the num
ber Dec. 5 and used obscene
and abusive language to her.
She also testified she recog
nized Coleman's voice after
she talked with him in the de
tective division after he was
arrested.
Judge W. K. McLean denied
a defense motion to rule out
the testimony. Defense lawyer
John Plumides likened the de
vice to "wire-tap laws and ar
gued its constituted "a funda
mental invasion of the defen
dant's privacy."
Plumides said the verdict
would be appealed.
The device was set up after
police had been flooded with
complaints, mostly from
housewives, that telephone call
ers had used obscene words.

ur J. Goldberg, U. S. Ambas
sador to the United Nations,
after a 45-minute talk with
President Johnson ana State
Department press officer Rob
ert J. McCloskey. !
Goldberg, asked by reporters
whether the White House wel
comes the suggestion ; of the
Senate Democratic leader
from Montana, replied:;
"The White House always
welcomes what Sen. Mansfield
has to say. The President is in
agreement that a me;eting

Sen. Mansfield's statement will
further that cause."
Goldberg in effect was say
ing that Mansfield was en

said that time after time John
son has appealed for transfer
ring the conflict from the bat
tlefield to the peace table and
that "Sen. Mansfield's propos
al would transfer it to the ta
ble." "That we endorse," Goldberg
said. i
At the same time at the
State Department Mansifled's
proposal for a conference in
Japan or Burma was wel
comed. McCloskey, the State Depart
ment press officer, told news
men that American willingness
to hold peace discussions had
been stated many times by
Johnson and Secretary of State
Dean Rusk over the past year.
"Our offer to meet with the
concerned parties remains
open," he said.
In a statement that obvious
ly had been prepared in antici
pation of questions on the pro
posal Mansfield made in the
Senate yesterday, McCloskey
said:

"President Johnson and Sec

replied in the negative when
asked whether there is agen

Nations no longer has a rolev
to play in trying to arrange ,
peace negotiations. He said the '
essence of Mansfield's propos
al was sound and that it was
in line with Goldberg's own
mandate from the President to
use every channel to further ,
the cause of a peaceful solu

regretfully, has not shown the
capability of taking hold of this.
