Free Speech For Al
We were glad to see reports that
the National Student Association,
in a policy statement, condemned
recent attempts by Vietnam War
protestors to physically prevent
services recruiters from visiting
college campuses.
We can be thankful that such
incidents by protestors haven't
occured on this campus. As UNC
Student and National Supervisory
Board member Dave Kiel said,
refusal by NSA to recognize free
speech for right-wing recruiters
would be an indirect justification of
discrimination against left-wing
speakers, as in North Carolina's
Speaker Ban law.
God knows we've heard enough
about the right of free speech on
this campus. And most intelligent
students on campus are fully
committed to free speech and
opposed to the speaker ban.
We suppose that the so-called
"radical elements" on other
campuses would be as adamantly
opposed to our speaker ban as we
are.
But there are radicals at
Stanford, and Wisconsin, and
Minnesota who don't think that
service recruiters should b e,
allowed to speak on campus.
Now perhaps you think that
recruiting is not the same as the
right of free speech. If you do,
you're stretching the point.
Because military recruiters do not
draft students, they do not drag
them' off campus. They talk to
students , and explain what ; they
have to offer, (usually Vietnam).
If a student wants to talk to a
recruiter it's his business, and not
that of SDS or any other group that
is opposed to the Vietnam war.
Political Leadership Needed
From The Raleigh Times
We in North Carolina need now
a man who gives promise of
leadership during the four years
beginning in January of 1969.
The time to begin assessing the
nature of that leadership is right
now. And, the first step in making,
that assessment must be the
admission that a skillful welding of
factions into a seemingly
unbeatable combination isn't the
kind of leadership we need. That is
self-seeing manipulation, not
leadership.
The kind of leadership we must
have is the kind which will offer
programs and challenges. It cannot
be the kind which contents itself
with platitudes, no matter how
pious they may be, or with attacks
on the courts and on certain groups
of citizens, no matter how well
those attacks may be timed to
appeal to the passions of certain
groups of our citizens.
The kind of leadership we must
have isn't the kind we can get from
attempts to shout "me, too" so loud
that other candidates can't match
the noise.
The kind of leadership we must
have isn't the kind which will vary
the selection of the major issue
from section to section and from
prejudice to prejudice. The kind of
leadership we must have isn't the
kind which would seem to exhibit a
willingness to be all things to all
men. The kind of leadership we
must have isn't the kind which will
seek to place itself either on the
fence or on both sides of the
fence.
As of now, there is no such
leadership on the horizon in the
Democratic primary race of 1963.
Lt. Gov. Bob Scott, who has been
running hard for the gubernatorial
nomination for several years,
apparently has built up a strong
combination of forces from the
Lake and Sanford wings of the

We are opposed to the Vietnam
war, also. But, unlike the radicals
at the above mentioned schools, we
don't think it's right to register our
opposition by physically
assaulting, and shouting down
military recruiters.
If people are sincerely in favor or
the right of free speech, they will
support the right of anyone to
speak on any college campus.
If they won't, they're
hypocrites.
A Job Well Done
Basketball fans will
appreciate the efforts of
Sandy Treadwell and Larry
Keith in their publication
"The Carolina Blue Review."
The several contributors to
the Review, all former or
present Daily Tar Heel
staffers are also to be
congratulated.
The Review was a n
unqualified success.
The first 5,000 press run
has sold well and more may
soon be printed.
That the Review as well
received is substantiated by
the fact that Coach Dean
Smith bought 100 copies for
recruiting purposes, and
Athletic Director Chuck
.Erickson is consid e r ing
purchasing several thousand
copies IJor sale at -the;
Greensboro coliseum.
To Treadwell and Keith we
say: "a job well done!" N
Democratic Party. In the process,
he has exhibited real talent as an
organizer and as a builder of a
political bulldozer. But, whether he
has exhibited any of the real
qualities of the leadership North
Carolina needs so desperately is
open to question.
In his seeking to woo support
from the full spectrum of North
Carolina Democrats, he seems to
have been willing to be something
of the things that all men might
want. There seems now to be real
reason to wonder whether he is
motivated by a real desire to lead
the people of North Carolina into
better things, or by just a real
desire to be Governor of North
Carolina.
This prospect of the lack of real
leadership isn't a pleasant one for.
the people of this State. It shouldn't
be a pleasant one for the
Democratic Party of North
Carolina, either, for it could help
set the stage for the election of a
Republican Governor in 1968.
There already is one announced
Republican gutoernatoirial
candidate hard at work, John
Stickley of Charlotte. He is
campaigning from one end of the
State to the other, and it is likely
that Congressman Jim Gardner of
the ;Fourth District, the young
Republican who unseated the
veteran, Harold Cooley last year,
will oppose Stickley in the
Republican primary. A hard-fought
Republican primary could help
bring issues into the race, real
issues. Such a development could
work to the advantages of the
Republican nominee in the 1968
general election. .
This isn't to say that the
Democratic Party will suffer if
there is no gubernatorial primary.
But, it is to say that if no more real
leadership is offered than is now
the case, the Democratic Party
will suffer in 1968.

If world, national, state and
local events were as revolting
every four days as they were
during the four-day Thanksgiving
vacation, we could say for sure
that the world is going to hell in a
hand basket.
Maybe you didn't read the
papers over vacation, but if you did
you probably read some things that
really bugged you, as they did
us.
For instance, on Thanksgiving
Day, the United States won a new
piece of real estate. It was an
expensive piece of real estate it
cost the lives of 280 Americans. It
was called simply Hill 875. It cost
us hundreds more Americans
wounded, and millions of dollars
worth of helicopters and hundreds
of thousands of dollars worth of
bombs and mortar shells and
napalm.
Hill 875 was no Bunker Hill. We
got it. And now that we've got-it,
we'll soon abandon it. Because now
that we have it, comes the big

The men send their women and children
to church and search for materialistic
triumphs. Everywhere, we found the
college students to be opposed to the
United States. When they turned their
backs on their own envy, then muttered:
"Get the hell out of Vietnam."
THIS WAS STRANGE because in
Saigon, the soldiers voted 11-to-l to ask
the folks back home to please back
Lyndon Johnson and to urge him to let
them cross the D.M.Z. and "clean up
North Vietnam." It . was stunning,
because these are the kids who will have
to do the bleeding and dying. Only one of
12 said; "Aw, let's go home."

anything about financial matters It
was a blessing in disguise for
President Johnson who finds the
devaluation scaring many
Congressmen into supporting a tax
hike. Tax hikes are necessary to
control spiraling inflation, and
we've got plenty of that. But that's
not the real reason we need it so
bad. We need the tax hike because
of a large budget deficit, and the
man who is solely responsible for
that is Lyndon Johnson himself.
Johnson has escalated the war to
the point that domestic spending
for anti-poverty measures has
practically come to a halt while our
tax dollars are spent instead on the
other side of the globe in a country
where we aren't wanted, and our
efforts aren't appreciated.

dollars next April, as you likely
will, remember that napalm is

The Communists in China feel that North
Vietnam has done the best anti-U.S. job
yet. It continues a war it cannot win,
because it bleeds America of $25 billion a
year and can continue until the U.S. has
economic anemia. No man in the Red
world has done as well as Ho Chi Minh.

Our mother was very wise about

Youth is the time for learning skills. It is
fine to specialize later on or in college,
but-"In our youth, we should stand four
square to every wind that blows."
My husband once said he thought
every boy should spend his summers on a
farm, learning to do manual work. "Part
of our grey matter is in our hands, and
we had better become acquainted with
it!" says Mark Van Doren.
The girls were also taught to sew,
crochet, knit, and to weave etc. all of
which are automated now. But statistics
show that more people than ever before
are returning to these elemental skills,
something we had all better do if we
don't want to land in a psychiatric
ward.
Here is an account of an ante-bellum

guests were expected, as told by the head
butler: "Yes, sir we had fine dinners in

photographers from the Charlotte
Obsen-er who were investigating
the cigarette traffic to New York
down cn Tobacco Road. Saying the
Mafia did it may be stretching it a
little, but not much. The
underworld organization already
controls the New York end of the
'tax free" cigarette business, and
it is pure delusion to believe that it
won't soon take control this end of
the business.
All those senice station
operators down on 301 may be
happy about getting rich while they
sell their cartons of cigarettes by
the gross to the hoodlums in New
York, but one morning they'll wake
up on the bottom of the Roanoke
River with cement shoes.
Apparently it will take many
occurences like that before many
people in North Carolina will
become concerned about the tax
free cigarette traffic.
And speaking of cigarettes, we
note that the good old UNC Book
Exchange saw fit to raise
cigarette prices from 25 to 30
cents during the holidays. The
Book Exchange director, Tom
Shetley, talked around in so many
circles when interviewed by a
Daily Tar Heel reporter that we
can only conclude that it was just
another golden opportunity to
fleece the students.
Just remember this. You can
. get cigarettes for 22 or 23 cents a
pack at any chain grocery in
Chapel Hill. Or $2 the carton.
Enough said. But with holidays
like these last four, who wants to
see Christmas come?
