il Tuesday, November 23, "1287 Parrs 2 US DAILY TAB HEEL The Student Speaks 75 Years of Editorial Freedom Bill Amlong, Editor Don Walton, Business Hanzger A QUiiy In When we went home for ' Thanksgiving, cigarettes cost us a quarter a pack when we bought them in Y-Court or in one of the snack bars around campus. When we came back, those - same smokes out of the same ; machines cost us 30 cents a pack. Which kind of makes for an V expensive four day vacation. University Book Exchange director Tom Shetley said there "was no good reason for waiting until the holidays to raise the prices" except that book ex people have time then to do things like that. And besides, Shetley said, "There is a natural tendency in human nature to follow the line of least resistance." Which means, Shetley said, that people changing the machines over so they wouldn't work for a quarter anymore would have been plagued by students wanting to know why. So do we. The book exchange wasn't losing any money at the old price. Of course, now they'll "be making a little bit more," as Shetley said. Which is all right. We agree with Shetley when he said that "there's no crime in making a little money" Our objection comes from his next statement about why he waited until Thanksgiving holidays to up his prices. "If every time I had to make a business decision, I had to call in someone from student government and a Tar Heel reporter, I'd never get anything done." True enough, Shetley is a : businessman and he doesn't need student consent before he does anything. And as he just . provedhe doesn't feel the need to : tell students in advance when he's about to dig into their pockets a : little bit more. However at least according to : Shetley cigarette vending by the L:-University "is just a convenience" and not intended to be a major money maker. But it almost seems that that's the way it's getting. 7 Local stores, on the other hand, are not in the service business they're here to make money. Yet they manage to sell cigarettes for 22 cents a pack and $2 per carton and still stay in business. Decorations ft, 1 It wouldn't be very popular, of course, to be against Christmas decorations, and"we aren't. But we are opposed to Chapel Hill's Christmas decorations because they are a traffic hazard. They may not be a traffic hazard to you, if not, it's because you know where the traffic lights are in this town. If you don't know where the traffic lights are on Franklin Street, drive down the street at night and try to spot them. Good Luck. Because the traffic lights are 03 TTT'i si Don Campbell, Associate Edor Lytt Stamps, BIcnaging Editor Hunter George, News Editor Brant Wansley, Advertising Manager Hi Which seems like a much better deal from here. Enough better that we will probably be buying our smokes somewhere other than the University Book Exchange. Which leaves only one question; Why is it that so many of the University "services" and "conveniences" wind up costing so much more than the same items bought from capitalistic private enterprise? What Does Mother Have To Say? 8. If there's one thing the American people can't resist, it's beating a fad to death. About a month ago, a j nauseatingly patriotic record $ came out called; "A Letter To i A Teenage Son." In it the - father told his son that if he S was going to burn his draft J card in protest to the war, j: then he'd better burn his birth jj certificate, too. All this was i said with "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" playing in j the background. No one but no one would j have bet that it would have i ended there. And it didn't. There have been no less than ten recorded replies to the father's letter, and : the hogwash is getting downright .mushy. One reply on the Philips label ... is, narrated by : one . : Brandon Wade. And Brandon i wasn't about to burn his birth j certificate. I No sir not Brandon. He begins: "Dear Dad: I i want you to know that I love j you and mother very much. : But, after reading your letter, I I realized that you and I mean I entirely different things when we use the word love. . ." Can you imagine that? j: After Brandon's old man told t him to burn his birth s certificate, he tells him that he still loves him. V ij Are we to believe that : something as tragic as the Vietnam War can't even g break up a family? Don't leave us suspended record companies, what does g mother have to say? Are Hazardous a.

Chapel isn't alone in it's hazardous display of Christmas decorations. Durham is even worse. But that's no excuse. It's all in the Christmas spirit, of course. But when some stranger drives through here and into an intersection without seeing the stoplight and gets killed, the officials of Chapel Hill must take the blame. By i 1 11 IL.CG.
