Administration Must Act
For Coeds
A prowler has entered another
women's dormitory for the fourth
time this school year.
As of 7 p.m. Monday the campus
police had. no comment on what
will be done to prevent future
break-ins.
We'd like to know.
The first couple of times the
incidents occurred it was easy to
pass them off as pranks and say
that they would quit as soon as
the furor over them died down.
But apparently such is not the
case. A prowler has broken in
another dorm after trying two
others. This makes a total of five
dorms that a prowler has tried
to enter or has succeeded in en
tering; Cobb, Connor, Joyner,
Winston, and Nurses.
Breaking into the women's
dorm may give some male a thrill
but it certainly does no good for
the women's nerves. The fact that
the prowler has done no harm to.

The Asheville Citizen
In naming Joe Eagles, Jr. of
Wilson as Vice Chancellor,
Business and Financial Affairs, the
University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill has made a shrewd
move.
Eagles, a businessman, has
been a member of the House in
the last four sessions of the
General Assembly. He was
Chairman of the House Finance
Committee in the 1967 legislature
and is currently serving as a mem
ber of the Advisory Budget Com
mission. Usually he has voted with
the fiscal conservatives in the
legislature.
Ever since Billy Carmichael
died, UNC at Chapel Hill has lack
ed a strong, persuasive spokesman
in Raleigh. As a result the universi
ty has had money troubles and
it has been hit by damaging
legislation, including the Speaker
Ban law.
Eagles is respected by and
popular "with his former colleagues
and he is knowledgeable in the
ways of the assembly. The
university could hardly have pick
ed a better man to do its footwork
in Raleigh.

something. The fact that he was
able to enter the dorms so easily
is cause for alarm and action.
The Administration must do
something immediately to provide
the security for the coeds that they
deserve. Students; when they corns
to the University and live in
University housing expect security
of their persons to a' reasonable
extent. While one or two incidents
may be accepted as unpreventable,
more than that number demands
more than just concern from the
administration, it demands some
preventative measures.
Furthermore, those measures
must be more than just asking
girls to be sure their doors are
locked, or more than providing a
course in self-defense. The
University must provide assurance
that coeds on campus will not have
to worry about the prowler
anymore. We don't think it
unreasonable to expect this of the

perimentally. The system was
established by the students and
is being operated by the Student
Transportation Committee.
Student Government did not go
to the Administration for help with
the matter but relied on itself and
became involved with the
Administration ' only when the
Administration volunteered $750 so
the experiment could be conducted
for two weeks. This responsibility
of the transportation committee to
the students and not to the
Administration is one of the more
heartening things about vthe bus
system.
Now the big problem is keeping
the buses, which eliminate the need
for a 20 minute walk into campus
by the South Campus students.
Ehringhaus legislator Harry
Diffendal, co-chairman of the com
mittee along with McMurray, is
working on the possibility of a
.federal grant for the bus system
but in the meantime the buses must
be making money to keep run
ning. Monday, if it hadn't been for
the sale of advertising on the
buses, the system would not have
broken even financially. Things are
very tight for the transportation
committee. The question now is
whether a lot of the people who
rode the buses were just riding
them for the novelty of it.
If that is the case, the bus
system may be jeopardized as the
novelty wears off and the number
of riders decreases.
The value of the buses may
not be obvious during the present
stretch of good weather but anyone
who has had to walk from South
Campus to classes during the rain
or cold knows that they are needed.
South Campus residents who don't
like the prospects of walking to
class next winter or during the
next shower .should make it a point
to ride the buses during the next
two weeks. Then they can scratch
up a victory for their own comfort
and their ability to get things done
by themselves, without depending
on South Building.

It took Governor Rockefeller a long
time to make up his mind about running
for president; but now that he has,
most political observers are anticipating
a determined, wel-wganized effort. Such
is the Rockefeller style.
One of the interesting questions about
his newly-emerged candidacy is yet to
be answered: Why did Rockefeller
change has mind.
On several occasions prior to last
week's announcement that he would fight
for the nomination "right up to the;
last vote at the convention," the New
York governor emphatically denied that
he would run "under any forseeable
arcumstances."
The reasons he gave centered around
the practical observation that he simply
didn't have a chance to beat Richard
Nixon among rank-and-file, convention
going Republicans. The former Vice
president had aggregated such , a col
lection of political debts that he was
thought unbeatable in a convention con-
text. ' j ;. r. ' x
J B u t- now ; - it n f o rsee a h e
cimiinsltances' may have occurred. Or
at least that's what Governor Rockefeller
and the men around him seem to think.
Perhaps a clue to the changing situa
tion may be found in Rockefeller's ap
pointment of a chief campaign organizer.
His choice for the post was Emmet
John Hughes.
Hughes is a former editor of Life
magazine who played a key role in
the Eisenhower administration as a
speech writer and policy advisor. He
is especially remembered for coining
Joe Sanders
U.S. Foots The
Secretary of Defense Clark Clifford
announced last week that soon South
Vietnam will take more of a share
in the war. Arding to Newsweek,
South Vietnam could shoulder the "major
responsibility" for . def ending itself in
two years if the North Vietnamese and
Viet Cong have been eliminated as
threats. Big deal.
All the optimism over South Vietnam's
ability to defend itself seems to be
unfounded. The pentagon already
assumes, perhaps with good reason, that
U. S. troops are, necessary in West
Germany and South Korea, to act as
deterrent forces against a communist
thrust.
In every country where U.S. troops
remain, no matter what treaty or
alliance we are honoring, this country
is footing the bill. It is paying money
and lives to maintain its allies who
enjoy, it is claimed, as much higher
(standard of hving than the communist
enemy. .
To add a touch of madness to it
all, Korea, instead of concentrating on
protecting its own borders, sends 5,000
troops to South Vietnam, a service for
which that country is subsidized in ad
dition to its regular economic aid.
What the U.S. involvement is leading
to is a world police force justified by
one treaty or another but financed by
the U.S.
Rather than assume that South Viet
nam will take on more of its burden
and that US. troops will be able to

Ike's 1952 slogan "I will go to Korea,"
which many observers feel was the high
point of Eisenhower's first campaign.
In recent years Hughes has appeared
every other week as chief political
analyst for Newsweek. In that capacity
he has been a leading spokesman for.
"modern RepubHcanism" and a leading
critic . of non-pragmatic, 4 p ur i s t ' '
Republicans who would rather nominate
a loser than compromise a little for
a candidate who could win.
In tiie past '. few months, prior to
. accepting a leadership position in the
Rockefeller camp, Hughes has called
vigorously for a Republican "dream
ticket" of Rockefeller for president and
Galifoirnia Governor Ronald Reagan for
vice-president.
The reasoning behind such a ticket
is obvious. Rockefeller and Reagan have
the widest possible appeal of any two
men in the party.
' " '" Their geographical balance is perfect.
You just cant make a better choice
than men from New York and California.
- Together' those statascomprise 83 elec
toral votes, almost onehird the majority
needed for election.
Ideological balance, too, is perfect.
Rockefeller represents the liberal,
forward-looking brand of Republicanism
that has wide appeal in urban areas
and among labor and minority groups.
Reagan represents the more traditional,
conservative kind of Republicanism that
is popular in the West and has recently
blossomed in the South.
So whale Reagan could hold on to

U S. troops will be on guard in Korea
and Vietnam and fightin another war

Newsweek reports that Gen. Ky is
undertaking steps to weed corruption
out of his army as a first step toward

Good Cocktail Talk
In Wea ther Extremes
Everyone talks about the. weather,
you say? Tis true, 'is true. We all
look at tile weather forecast each day
, so that we can plan that picnic for
tomorrow, or the trip to Uncle Fred's,
or if it's going to rain, just to stay
in bed.
ome figures on temperatures are
useful to the common man, but many
more are never used in one's lifetime.
This is not to say that they won't
make great bits of trivia at that next
cocktail party.
The highest temperature ever record
ed anywhere in the world is 136 degrees
in Azzia, Africa, September 13, 1922.
In this country, the highest is 134 degrees
at Greenland Ranch, California, July
10,1913.
If you plan to put those petunias
out to grow, make sure the temperature
outside does not exceed 122
degrees. . that's the highest tem
perature in which plants can grow. And,

below 74 degrees. All their activity ceases
at that temperature.

votes that are needed for a Republican
victory.
Since Nixon is loved neither by con
servatives nor by independents and
Democrats, it is doubtful that he would
be able to do either, especially in a
race where George Wallace was a fee
tor. Still, Nixon has been generally con
sidered a shoo-in for the nomination.
(But now, as we said, something may
have happened to change all that.
With Rockefeller becoming an active
candidate, many of the urban convention
votes will shift to him, especially in
the Northeast. And if Reagan decides
to make even an abortive run for it,
many of the conservative delegates that
Nixon was counting on may desert to
him.
The California governor is already"
a favorite son candidate in his own
state. Perhaps significantly, he has refus
ed to drop out of the Oregon primary
in deference to Nixon and has recently
begun pouring large amounts of ' cam
A combined- attack-featuring
Rockefeller from the left and Reagan
from the right would probably be
enough to block Nixon's first ballot
nomination. , .
. With coverage on national TV, the
Republicans would understandably not
be anxious to have a long, bitter con
vention. So they would probably go into
those legendary smoke-tilled rooms and
nominate a compromise ticket that would
appeal to the widest possible spectrum
of Republicans.
That ticket, for the reasons mentioned
above, should be Rockefeller and Reagan.
And the man who would probably be
in the best position to engineer such
a political compromise would be the
man who originated the idea and who
has been its most vocal proponent.
The man is Emmit John Hughes,
who is now chief of the Rockefeller
forcets.
Hughes may have been in recent
contact with the Reagan supporters, and
he may have been given the go-ahead
for a block Nixon strategy.
That may have been the change that
Rockefeller was waiting for. And it may
be the reason that he has finally entered
the presidential race.

Make sure your prof keeps his
classroom at a mild 64 degrees. That's
the most favorable temperature for ac

precious things, cannot live under
temperatures of 60.
If you're a farmer whose cows have
problems with cattle ticks, get those
cows into two degree temperatures. The

Letters To The Editor
Activists
Take Rap
To the Editor:
The April 2S issues of the New Y&ri
Times, reporting on the crisis at Coha
bia University, said that Professor
Etx'oni (Sociology Department) shouted
through a bullhorn at the demonstrator;
The disruption of the educational
cess goes against what you are after."
Professor Greenman (French Depart
ment) reacted by roaring. 'There caa
be no education and no thought that
is divorced from action." According to
the story, the students thereupon vest
into huddles trying to decide who was
right
Suppose you are sitting stock std
trying to think something through, and
see through the window a car runs down
a pedestrian. You wCl, of course, tea
porarily "go against what you are after"
by disrupting your thought process to
help save life, for the sake of doisg
more effectively afterwards what you
are primarily concerned to do.
Bad economic and social conditions
interfere with what people in institutions
of higher learning are going after, so
time-out should be taken to eliminate
them This is the only objection that
can be made to Etziooi's proposition,
in the circumstances.
Greenman's proposition about do
thought-without-action is true, but in a
dangerously misleading way. what sort
of action did Einstein's thinking depend
on for its consummation in the Relativity
theory? Well, he had to consult
monographs in mathematical physics,
discuss these with colleagues, etc.
Without such "action", his thought
would not have gotten him "what he
was after" an earthshaking theoretical
formulation of space, time and gravita
tion. Descrates' thinking about mind and
matter depended on the "action" of
taking a comprehensive look at things
and theories about them and then retiring
to the stove in the winter for the famous
definitive mediation that set the stage
for subsequent "modern" thought '
And what "action" did Gauguin take,
to realize bis thinking as a painter?
Well, he left family and country for
an exotic situation where the activity
of painting could be the main thing.
Now Greenman, by his wholesale,
on-campus pronouncement no thought
divorced from action makes it look as
if direct action aimed at social ameliora
- tion were necessary and contributory
to the sort of thinking that a scientist,
osopher or artist mustexercse if
he is' going to be any good as such.
And this is simply false.
The thinker remember Rodin's
thinker near Philosophy Hall at Colum
biamay have to save lives or
participate with others in the action
of saving lives on occasion; but the
tftinldrtg with which he "thinks something
through" as scientist, philosopher or
artist is certainly not dependent on the
direct practical action of social ameliora
tion. It is most naturally and necessarily
"divorced" from it. This is why great
men are of two sorts: great thinkers
and great men of action.
Greenman's wholesale proposition is
true only,- if ia radically pragmatic or
a Marxist ideological conception of
thought is true. According to these, D
thinking subserves social and political
ends. Anyone who thinks for the sake
of tiie theory issuing from it is a
visionary ("theory", at root, meant
"vision") who cannot be tolerated, by
this standard.
Many activists today proceed as if
this is the right standard, though its
wholesale adoption would mean the
wholesale replacement of theory by ac
tion, issuing from decisions under no
theoretical controls.
