U . THE DAILY TAB HEEL Sunday, March 3, 1963 Pago l 76. Years of Editorial Freedom 1 " ' ; ; Bill Amlong; Editor ' ' Don Walton, Business Manager; ; ' ; . ; AmioBgs First Epistte To Those Of Tarlieella I It came to pass in the nation of Tarheelia that it was once again the season for selecting" a new ruler, since the old king was "withering on his throne with the : passing of winter. And so there came together for that purpose the princes, great and small, of the several tribes of,the nation. Some came with noble .purpose in their hearts, but others came bearing low and dastardly schemes. Chief among the princes was one known as Jedd, who had come ?to Tarhellia from a distant North ern land and had made his abode with the tribe of the Chipsies. This alien prince had risen to" his stature among the Tarheelians, some say, because of his espousing the words of a former great ruler, known as Robert of Power, who was also of the Chipsie tribe and to whom many likened the prince known as Jedd. , Robert had served on the throne nrecently, but he had also withered with the passing of his winter and had passed on to a land called Princeton to recuperate from the strain of reign. ; .But Robert .was remembered as .a" great and jibble king, and thet'';iyou were many wno nopea mat tne alien prince Jedd would rule in his manner. And these rallied around Jed and hoisted his banner as .theirs, dubbing him their can didate . vv- NOW THERE were those, however, who opposed Jedd's ' ascendancy ,to the throne. Amonij their number stood the withering" king, whose surname was also Robert, but who came from a dif I ferent tribe entirely than did the ! Robert after whom Jedd styled himself. Now this king Robert, as he withered, attempted to choose as J his successor . one who ' would : perpetuate his style of reigning, ), rather than that of the elder - j Robert. As his champion, he chose j George of The Three-Piece Suit. George faltered in a joust with Jedd, however, and was toppled J from the hierarchy of the princes. 5 And the withering king and George t: wept, for power was no longer theirs. ' III AND THERE were also other princes and lesser ones, too, who came to the gathering carrying A much dark hate for, Jedd in their hearts. Primarily these dark persons were of the .tribes that resided on the periphery - o f ; Tarheelia, in the outlands knows as Big and Little Fraternity Courts. ' , ; One of these princes was known as Larry of Rich, and carried upon his shield the emblem of a great flame, signifying that his words were as fire and that every time he opened his mouth 1 he scorched those to whom he spoke. i" 1 Shprtly. after the banner of Jedd d ' beeri' hQisteof,' this Larry ! of had Rich loosed v his flames at the".' chosen prince of the Chipsies, and dcclarciLthat Jedd. should-never be. iving ucwusc iic wds exs mien irom Pamela.

"Pshaw," quoth Prince Jedd in reply. THERE WERE others, though, who posed greater threats to . the chcsen prince than did Larry of Rich. Chief among these was Noel The Done-In, whom Jedd had top pled in an earlier contest for power during the previous spring. Now this Noel did not seek the throne for himself , as did George of the Three-Piece Suit, for he realiz ed that it was beyond his grasp. He, however, did seek a champion to represent the dissident princes from the Outlands, and 'found him in the region known as Obscurity. "Now is the Spring of our discontent transformed into glorious summer by the dawning of this new Day," quoth Noel The Done-In as he extolled the virtues of the champion he had found. This champion was Kenneth The Meek, who was reluctant to heed the battle cries of the rebellious princes, and was therefore threatened with the epitjiet of praft Dodger He did allow though, -that he do battle with Jedd, and later make known1 his decision to the Council of the Outland Princes, known in the vernacular as the University Par ty. . . : -vV-;::"-V MEANWHILE, THERE arose on the horizon two other warriors who also announced that they were seeking the throne. ; One. of these was Strauch The Bruce, who carried in his quiver not arrows, but poison-tipped pens, and who declared that the nation of Tarheelia was in such dire shape that it could be saved only by his ascendancy to the throne, since he was an outsider from the lineage of ' Kings, and as such possessed' the seeds for its cure. ' The othe,r was Michael of The Holly Bush, whose blossoms car ried a vile nectar which many likened to the juice of the hemlock. This Michael also said t h a t . Tarheelia was in dire shape, but proposed that it not' be reformed but destroyed. " He asked that he be chosen as the new king, since he was an elder of the nation and would soon be leaving it, thereby abandoning the throne and doing away with the principle of monarchy in the land. AND AS THE w gathered above in the sky as the phalanx of the monsoon which an miaUy, deluges the 'land of the Tarheelians -and makes the red1 clay muddy, the ground: .': was n aIready growing mushy; because of ": a dung-like substance, knownas" politics, ; was beginning to1 ac ; ' cumulate to' thec depths of 5 one's " knees, v --r - v.-a . ;And; the entire 'land w a s- threatened 'with its nbecomW - ! deen that" a ' cur ; and both the throrm people would' be-cbvered-bv 'itif urown.

All this was done despite the extended efforts of First Secretary Brezhnev of the Vbba. There were several main reasons for the Czechoslovakian. ouster. The Arab Israeli conflict was; one. Many Czechs wanted to support the Jews but they were forced into an official condemnation of them, by Novotny and their Soviet superiors. There was, also, the severe, censorship of writers, artists ;and inv tellectuals and the cutback on economic reform leading to e x c ess i y ev Letters To The Editor i.4., To the Editor: - I desire to take this opportunity to ad dress myself to the student body , con cerning the recent death sentence pro nounced on womens' open dorms by Chancellor J.

Humiliated first of all to be connected with a University that deals in this kind of deceit that results in what can only be termed feminine bondage (that equals double-X chromosome slavery in case you didn't get it the first time! ). ; Yes, I am humiliated to find myself connected in any way with an institution where behind-closed-door power plays can result in this kind of torturing of human dignity (Oh, pardon me; make that "female dienitv " not "human vv not to mention the universally obvious breach of the- right to exercise adult responisbility for oneself !

Sociology NC Not Leader In Education To The Editor: We like to think of North Carolina as a leader in many fields, but the truth is she is as often a follower. In the case of education, let us hope she does not follow Florida. , Florida is suffering from a teachers' strike a strike which has affected J0 of me state's teachers, 1-3 of the public schools, and countless numbers of children. The teachers object to an education budget passed by the Florida state legislature last- year, one they caU "totally inadequate." They say - they'll stay out of school until something is done by someone. , . . . The something they hope for is a sDecial session of the Democratic state legislature to be called by. the so-meone-Republican Governor Claude Kirk The result is predictable. -f Kirk says he has no intention of call ing a special session "until we see where Zl stand" Where Kirk and the .ta tand unfortunately is on op- Se skies vf the political fence. .The ;SS assembly -ha. topped more than the one of not nilLS.

China and the USSR are, of course, involved in the Sino-Soviet split and, therefore, China almost '-always offers direct con .frontation. Albania is. little willing to listen to Moscow; rather, she follows obe diently the lead of Peking. - Cuba is somewhat economically dependent on the USSR, but it has too in- dependent a leader in Castro to be con sidered within Moscow's ranks. North Vietnam is militarially dependent on the USSR and North Korea is economically dependent on her, but both steer relative ly independent courses due to their com- the New Mexico state legislature. New Mexico Governor David Cargo has, like Governor Kirk in Florida, refus ed to call a special session of the state legislature to provide a substantial pay increase. ' Still another state, Oklahoma, may soon find itself in the same mess. Republican Governor Dewey Bartless has indicated , he will veto a tax package which would boost teacher salaries, as proposed by the Democratic . state legislature. Should this come about, and with that state's previous history of Republican-Democratic difficulties, it seems likely it will some 27,000 teachers will strike next fall. How long will this pattern go on ? It could happen for quite some time. Teachers have traditionally been poorly paid, even while this nation's demand for their services steadily increases. Any economics student will tell us that the law of supply and demand is about to take effect. Robin Brewer Peace Vigil 5:32. MEETING called to order. 5:33. MEETING called to order. 5:35.

MOVEMENT Chairman Mayo ad dressed the Peacees on ways to im prove the influence of the move ment. 5:59. PEACE Member Spielvogal sug gested that a larger Post Office be built to add weight to the protest. Ways and Means Committee Chairman Legree reported that such a request had been denied by the Federal Government, and critized the lack of U.S. involvement, calling for increased escalation by Washington ' in Chapel Hill, to aid the cause. 6:07. PEACE Member Freemantle raised a question on the jailing, of Sister 'i ' - Inferior. Chairman Mayo indicated that the vagrancy charge against her arose when a policeman discovered she was carrying no money or iden tification on her "person. It " was ' 1 r resolved that nuns should acquire the ; habit ? of wearing dresses with pockets.' . - . 6:15. PUBLIC Relations Manager Renfro v J enjoined the participants of the , movement not ; to "disperse wffly - nllly' once they had assumed their - position in line for the afternoon. : Following a rebuttal by Mrs. Hinkle, Renfro advised that she "should think of that before getting into line." mynnore mand of world attention. . East Germany is largely subject to what Moscow says because it wants a tougher line against West Germany and the best way to do this, it seems, is cooperation with Moscow. This stni allows for much pressuring by Germans though. Mongolia, the USSR almost com pletely dominates. Then there are Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria and Czechoslovakia who will usually vote with the USSR because they are most like it domestically. Rumania is not domestically a reformist regime and, therefore, defies Moscow on many issues. Yugoslavia is considered extremely radical- and almost out of the bloc corn- pletely. Therefore, there are few who could comprise an effective Communist bloc led by the Soviets. Perhaps the whole disintegration of the bloc began in 1943 when Tito mapped out his seperate course. Then in 1956, both Poland and Hungary cost Moscow . prestige when they made it clear that their leaders were not puppets. Also, the attempted deposition of Mao Tse Tung in 1958 ended in failure. Albania's Hoah defied Moscow's intervention in 1960 and in 1968, there have been both the attempt to save Novotny which failed and the ar rest of Communists in Cuba an attempt by Castro to emphasize that he is in com mand there. Moscow's diminishing influence can be attributed to some extent, to the discon " tinuance of several old tools like Russian troops, control of the secret police in satellite countries, economic exploitation, and single alternatives. And then, too, there was no example of defiance until Tito came along. Also, Moscow has increasingly lost its single leadership prestige with its destalinization program, its ouster of Khruschev, and its policies of peaceful co-existence. Therefore, in the context of con temporary politics, it makes one wonder just how subservient the members of the Soviet bloc really are. Perhaps Moscow is becoming somewhat a prisoner of, rather 1 than the director of the Communist na tions. The question persists whether North Carolina will be Lced with the same situation next fall. The Tar Heel state ranks in the bottom fifth of all the states in teachers' salaries, still lower in per pupil expenditures. Should (the teachers strike, one would be hard-pressed to say they weren't justified. The problem here will not be as com plex as in some other states. Barring the unlikely event of a Republican governor being elected, the state's highest office and the state legislature will be of the same political persuasion. This should help. But the fact remains that North Carolina's teachers are not well paid. They are, in fact, poorly paid. We suggest that the state legislature consider the old saying about an ounce of prevention when it next meets in session. The future of our teachers the educa tion of our children will be at stake. . Loa Heckler 105 Chase Ave. Meeting 36 6:27. PEACE Member Oscar Ripple argued for more stringent measures against the UJS. Government, and ad vocated a boycott on the purchase of postage stamps. However the Peace Committee on Anti-Anti-American Activities (AAA) released heretofore closed testimony by crack philetalist Herman Watermark who said the mail system would not post letters not conforming to federal regulations. At this point Mrs. Selvy Grosbeck volunteered the use of her homing pigeons; discussion was terminated when it was learned the pigeons hzd a homing radius of two blocks. 7:02. IN RESPONSE to last meeting's re quest for ideas on recruitment within the family circle of active members, Professor Heidigger of the Classics Department came forth. He urged all members to follow the strategy employed in Sophocles' Lysistrada. -Unfortunately no one present had any idea of what he was talking about For purposes of group r familiarization, Prof. Heidigger has politely agreed to put his private col- . lection of Monarch Notes oncall at the library. ' 7:16. THE FINAL item on the agenda was a report from the Grievances Committee. Mrs. Sunday asked that t the rain be abolished. The motion -was referred to the Theological Implications Committee for further i: study. 7:19. THE MEETING was adjourned, following a body count. ( 7 i r
