Wednesday. February 22, 1967 InTheMail THE DAILY TAR HEEL liiie fraternity- Racial Relationship To the Editor: Charlie Scott was accepted as a pledge by St. Anthony Hall last week. The star freshrrfan basketball player who seems destined to be se lected to Ail-American teams in two or three years, thus became the first Negro to get into a social fraternity at Carolina. This was an eventful mile stone, to be sure. But his se lection was no simple hap pening, either in the process of selection or in its implica tions. It was no mean accident that the tall athlete broke the color barriers here. There were rumors prevalent all fall that the St. A's were out to get him. Scott had visited the St. A. Hall last spring during a combo party, before an nouncing that he would sign a grant-in-aid to play ball for UNC. Certain non-fraternity friends of the Hall were en couraging him to participate in last week's rush, and their efforts paid off. He rushed, was accepted. m The motives of the St. A's in accepting Scott were cer tainly varied. Their variety and complexity make Scott's selection far from simple. Aside from pledging an in telligent freshman with a 2.9 average, an athelete who pro bably approaches Lew Akin dor's class, and as one St. A. joked, a coach for their bas- i emu, TIM ABOUT IS FflID .PLfl-Y!

Scott was not the first Ne gro to participate in the rush system of UNC social ' frater nities. He was not the first to rush St. A. At least two other Negroes in the last two years have been refused ad mittance into St. A. Herein lies the difficult complexity of the issue and the clear emergence of at least two dif ferent reactions in the "lib eral" camp views of Scott's acceptance. The first reaction, crude ly expressed in the Tar Heel, was one of glee and happi ness that a UNC fraternity had finally accepted a Negro. Scott's acceptance required no court order and optimisti cally paved the way for se lections of more Negro pledg es in the future. That Scott was a star athlete and a good student would certainly help the St. A's rationalize their action to both their clean-cut, BMOC-type brothers at U.Va. and to other UNC fraternities. Idealistically, Scott's se lection would encourage oth er social fraternities to open their eyes to the fact that Ne groes can be "socially accept able" if they close their eyes to skin color. But the second reaction had no champions in Sunday's Daily Tar Heel, perhaps be cause" certain facts are not widely known. E B0B0AKIS A fresh, new batch, just unpacked, with more art, titles. Jo;-j the fun - brows through this low-priced treasure before it's all gone! The Intimate Bookshop Chapel Hill One such fact is that Eric Clay YMCA officer, some time DTH letter writer, Caro lina Political Union member, and Negro tried unsuc cessfully to gain acceptance into St. Anthony Hall last fall. A verv intelligent individual with "over a 3.0 average), Clay says he was candidly told that he was refused be cause he is a Negro. Fact number two: Clay ap pealed his rejection to the Faculty Committee on Frater nities " and Sororities. The committee met with Clay, sev eral St. A's, the presidents of the IFC and Panhellenic Coun cil, and Dean of Men William Long and without Dr. Her bert Bodman, the commit te's chairman who disquali fied himself because he serves as adviser to St. Anthony Hall. Fact number three: The committee decided essentially to censure St. Anthony Hall to some extent, asking it to apol ogize to Clay, but not to im pose any sanctions forcing Clay's admission into St. An thony Hall. Since then, Clay has seriously entertained the idea of bringing court action against the University be cause of. the obvious racial discrimination in its social fraternities. These facts form the basis for the second reaction one grounded in a certain degree of despair that Scott's accep tance may mitigate against a successful suit against the University and indignation at a possible token gesture by the fraternity system. Scott's selection by St. An thony Hall, therefore, does not give a fairy tale ending to racial discrimination in UNC's social fraternities. Far from it, his acceptance is simply one more episode in the continuing drrma of V., American Negro's striving for social acceptance. Only one Negro has been ad mitted into UNC's social fra ternities. Only a few Negroes have been selected by a pro fessional fraternity here. No Negro coeds have been , tap ped by UNC's sororities, though one has been select ed into , the Valkyries, -,ih e. society. . , : .: Charlie Scott's acceptance was good, but. . . ; Alan Banov DAILY CROSSWORD ACROSS 1.

This article from the Daily mini, is one point of view.) By LARRY MILLER The New Left, bred by a combination of affluence and alienation, led by shrill and stony-voiced idealists, and fed by paranoia and hatred, is a paradox within a dilemma. For members of the New Left combine a yearning to erase social inequities and inadequacies with a cold and unreasoning inability to em pathize with the deeply-felt and strongly-held patterns of life and methods of relation ship of the majority of the American people. The New Lefters find them selves passionately commit ted to loving their neighbor and using this love as a poli tical philosophy. This is in the noblest tradition of Amer ican political and social philo sophy. Yet that love is only direct ed at the poor and the depriv ed. Love, to judge from the action of the New Left, is not to be extended to the bulk of middle-class America. Thus the dilemma. The New Left was created to be a vehicle for furthering indi vidual freedom and welfare. Meaningful freedom is parti ally postulated on a concern for the rights of all members of the society. The New Left has rebuked as meaningless the accomplishments, atti tudes and action-patterns of most of modern America. This rebuke has taken the form of scornful disdain and haughty contempt. One exam ple of this was last week's march on the California state capitol which ended in a con frontation with Governor Rea gan. I believe the students are correct in their disagree ment with Reagan about tui tion and state intererence But the heckling and the con stint booL.j prevented Rea gan from talking. Because a dialogue never took place. Reagan's resistance stiffen ed and compromise became more improbable than before. Two points stand out. 1. Politically, the refusal' to allow Reagan v to-, speak was unwise for the' students and unhealthy for the democratic process. For freedom is made possible only by the reconcil iation of individual wants and needs. That process, called compromise, is possible when power is divided and the power-holders are willing to rea son together. The hard-nosed, holier-than-thou, attitudes of the state, their own free dom and, by projection, yours and mine. 2. The refusal to allow Rea gan to speak symbolizes the lack of empathy of the New Left advocates. This empathy lag makes it hard for people who share concern over so cial injustice with the New Left to either condone or join the group. It is significant both poli tically and morally that a segment of our student gen eration feels so deeply mo tivated to end injustice and readicate sham in our so ciety that it is unwilling to sit back and talk when ac tion is necessary to earn re sults. This is encouraging. And the search for significant issues and the refreshing honesty one finds in many New Left members are beacons for the rest of us. Yet the New Left, dedicat ed to freedom, has within it the seeds of tryanny. The members are generally "true believers judging issues not pragmatically on merit but on the basis of what time the Southpaw drummer pounds. There is a blindness and the blindness is dangerous. Often, in fact, "just causes" are set back by New Left actions. Thus the New Left is de pressing, not because it breeds a fear of physical or personal loss, but because it is is sad to see any human beings suffer.

If you're in the market for a 1949 Volkswagen hood, or a '53 hubcap, we have good news for you. Parts for the '49 and '53 Volkswagens are on tap at any VW dealer. When you have a car that almost never changes its style, you don't have to worry about obsolescence. One year's hood is pretty much like every year's hood. This being the case, your VW dealer can get you every part to fit every year. Enough parts to build you a brand new 1967 Volkswagen. Or a 1957 Volkswagen. If you only want a front fender, you don't have to dismantle half the car to put it on. Ten bolts do it. You can replace the entire engine in an hour and a half. And just to make sure our parts are as great as our whole cars, we put each part through the most rigid factory tests before we ship it out, or put it on our cars. So if you have a Volkswagen in dis repair, go to your nearest Volkswagen dealer. He won't give you a bum steerer. Triangle UoHreivagen.
