Change Necessary
In Sandwich Situation
Last year the University Food
Service was losing money on South
Campus because of competition
from the Book Exchange run snack
bars in the residence halls on South
Campus. At first the Food Service
thought the snack bars should stop
serving hot foods so the students
would have to Chase for hot food.
That, however, was not done;
instead the two groups worked out
an agreement beneficial to both
parties; the Book Ex would sell
sandwiches made by the University
Food Service, rather than those
made by a private concern. Now
both the University Food Service
and the Book Exchange are
happy-at the expense of the
students.
Students, starting in Morehead
Residence College and now
spreading to other residence halls,
have become very angry, and
rightfully so.
Not only have prices gone up
(which may be justified) but the
quality has gone down-way down.
Recently two coeds became sick
after eating a couple of the
sandwiches. Some sandwiches have
been labelled improperly, with no
date on them or a list of the
ingredients in the. sandwiches.
Students Should Apply
For Comiiiittee Positions
Want to join a committee that
won't guarantee you a picture in
the Yack but which will guarantee
you the chance to try to do
something for students in an area
where not much gets done for
students?
Student Government is holding
interviews to select student
members of several important
University committees: Buildings
- and Grounds, Traffic and Safety,
Established Speakers, and the to be
established one on Admissions
Director Search.
Unfortunately, students are only
; tokenly represented on these
, committee which decide to a
considerable extent what the
student's life on campus is to be
like: whether he will have to park
Cox Commission
Cliches On
From The Columbia Spectator
To the connoisseur of. the
Columbia uprising, the report of
the fact-finding commission
released Saturday offers little that
is new and little that is
controversial. So much has been
written and said about the events,
. that Professor Cox and his
commission saw the value of
; escaping the Columbia rhetoric in
an attempt to place their thoughts
in a national context.
Indeed, it is only in its national
context that the report takes on
significance. In its integrity,
perspective, thoroughness, and
fairness, the Cox Commission
report is an admirable study; in its
attempt to dispel the
misconceptions and myths held by
those outside Columbia it takes on
j the import of a Warren or Kerner
; commission report.
The Cox Commission report is
clearly written for the diletante and
the uninitiated who know all there
is to know about Columbia from
the AP and UPI reports of riots,
v vandalism, and nihilistic
revolutionaries. It is written for all
lar at.

The conditions under which the
sandwiches are produced seem less
than sanitary, with garbage piled
near, the ingredients for the
sandwiches and with trash on the
floors.
Not only are the students
complaining, but the persons who
have to sell them at the snack bars;
they are complaining that students
won't buy the sandwiches and so
they end up throwing most of them
away every day.
Unfortunately, there isn't any
competition in the sale of
sandwiches on campus so students
can't express their distaste for the
sandwiches by buying other brands.
It is obvious, considering the
monopoly that the Book Ex and
the University Food Service have
on the students, that they must
take into consideration the
students' interests.
That interests dictates only one
course for the Book Ex and Food
Service: that they quit making their
own sandwiches and go to a private
concern for the sandwiches, or that
they drastically change the quality
of the sandwiches.
Whichever they do' we think
they should do it fast.
on South Campus even though he
lives on main campus, whether
dormitories are going to be changed
into offices, etc.
Since students compose such a
small portion of these committees
it is important that the student
body have forceful representatives,
representatives who will not
hesitate to tell the faculty and
administrative members of the
committees when they are doing
something wrong.
If you are deeply concerned
about one of these areas, are willing
to spend some time on the
problems, and willing-to stand up
for the students' interests on these
committees we suggest that you try
to get on a committee.
New Left
the university administrators who
called Grayson Kirk last spring and
told him to hold the line for all
Columbia's sister insittutions.
The basic assumptions that we
readily accept and the outside
world readily rejects are the heart
of the report. Now that Professor
Cox has drawn attention to the
"ability, social consciousness and
conscience, political sensitivity, and
honest realism of today's students"
one will have difficulty pulling out
the old cliches of nihilism. The
legitimation of the ends of the
student protest and the virtual
legitimation of what they did in the
face of a breakdown of trust,
communication and accepted
channels of change, is an important
step and one which bears the
imprimatur of a prestigious and
respected commission.
We can only be grateful for the
commission's attempts to look at
the problems facing society through
the lens of the Columbia
experience, and for the effects the
commission's report will have by its
powers to dispel, legitimate, and
condemn.

"The University of North
Carolina is going to get run

Carolina it'll be as if they
didn't exist." -George Wal
lace, Oct. 8
When presidential candidate Richard
Nixon was here last month he had
nothing but the highest praise for UNC
and its computer facilities.
When Hubert Humphrey spoke here
two years ago, he warmed up the crowd
by commenting "I hear you've got a
couple of athletes named Miller and
Lewis ..." This brought him close to a
standing ovation.
Both of these men are professional
politicians of the first rank. They know
full-well that you just don't go around

Letters To The Editor
Parkin
Editor:
When is the traffic office going to start
using their heads? In other words, when
are they going to do away with some of
the ridiculous parking regulations that
exist on campus? Although there are
many serious parking problems on
campus, we would like to complain about
one rather stupidly foolish situation that
exists in the "H" zoned parking area
directly behind the Monogram Club and
the University Faculty Club.
As anyone who parks in this parking
zone knows, there are eight spaces
located behind the Monogram Club which
are reserved for the faculty between the
hours of 12:00 Noon and 1:30 P.M.
Monday through Friday. These spaces are
provided for members of the faculty who
drive their cars to the Monogram Club to
eat lunch. Any student with a car who
has a legal right to park in these spaces at
all other hours either with a temporary or
permanent "H" permit must move his car
or find an annoying present on his
windshield from a campus police officer,
as one of the signees did yesterday.
The situation should be changed
immediately. We offer the following facts
as reasons for remedying this situation:
(1) It is a great inconvience for the
students who park their cars in these
spaces to remove them. There are two '
reasons why this is so: (a.) they may be in
class or be involved in some other activity
that requires their attention during these
hours, (b.) A student cannot be bothered
with the task of removing his car from
one of these spaces and driving around
for thirty or fourty minutes to find an
empty space where he may legally park
his car, (if he is lucky enough to find
one.)
(2.) Parking spaces here are at a
premium. We will soon have to park our
cars on top of each other unless
something is done quickly to releive the
congestion on campus. Thus a student
should also be entitled to park his car in
these spaces during the noontime hour.
(3.) The faculty should find adequate
space to park their cars in the newly f
rezoned "A-l" and "F' lot which is
located behind Graham Dormitory or
r, Kg ne ,Stn:et the Monogram
Club. This lot is usually empty during the
noon hour.
We would appreciate hearing any
reason why these parking spaces should
be zoned in their present manner from a
spokesman of the traffic office.
Otherwise we would like to see this
bad-mouthing the oldest state university
in the land. It's bad polities.
r
Incompetence?
Well, it seems there is one candidate
for the nation's highest office
(incidentally, he's the man many North
Carolinians expect to sweep the state)
who doesn't possess any the tact so
characteristic of his rivals.
The Charlotte Observer reported
Tuesday that, while discussing
"Pseudo-liberals," George Corley Wallace
angrily exclaimed to theNational Press
Club in Washington:
"The University of North Carolina is
going to get run over so big down in
North Carolina it'll be as if they didn't
exist."
Thank you so much, George.

Admissions Not
Editor:
In your editorial of October 4
concerning the admissions office you
charged that dis-advantaged students were
being discriminated against because there
were no representatives from U.N.C. at
their school. This should be no excuse for
a student not going to U.N.C. because he
could find out any information he needed
to know by writing a letter to the
admissions office and requesting the
desired information.
Your statement that the college board
examinations were biased against
dis-advantaged students was a faulty
personal opinion instead of a fact. When I
took the tests, I thought that the
questions asked were related to the type
of knowledge which was important to the
society as a whole and a good student
should have been familiar with the
material present.
If a dis-advantaged student failed to
score well on the college board tests
despite the fact that he was a good
student in his school, the blame should
fall on the school system which is
responsible for teaching him the things he
should know, and not on the college
board tests.
Sincerely,
Peter Blackburn

Water Shortage
Editor:
There has been a cry for water
conservation made by UNC authorities
until there is a genuine rain. Substituting
beer for water seems to be the general
jrend, but I wish to make a suggestion to
those in authority.
University Day is October 12. Despite
the fanfare, students usually
disappear home or elsewhere. Since
many plan to go home that particular
weekend, I think that if school were
smoke-filled press room got to you.
Maybe you've been hearing bad things
about us, huh? (The Observer headline
read: "George Has It In For UNC, But It
Isn't Clear Why").
Whatever the reason for the remark,
George, we understand. However, in the
tradition of open-mindedness and fair
play which has often marked this bastion
of intellectuals we wish to clarify
something about the nature of liberalism
at UNC.
Not So Fast
You should know that you can't write
off something that's been around for 179
years. Hell, students were attending
classes here for almost a quarter of a
century before your home state even
joined the union. YouH need an awful
big steam roller to "run over" something
that deeply imbedded.
And another thing, old buddy,
temporarily closed Friday through
Sunday evening, a considerable amount
of water would be saved which could be
decisive in the future. I am making this
suggestion assuming that it will not rain
enough to alleviate the problem by
October 12.
Sincerely,
John R. Knox

T-Mam Sets Sails,
New Race Arises
One day it finally happened. T-Man
parked on campus one time too many
and was suspended from the university.
He lost his student classification and was
drafted, and nothing more -was heard
about him until election day. On that day
Supersheep went to the polls to cast his
vote for Wallace, and, as was his custom
for each presidential election, he bought a
newspaper. A small paragraph on the
back page stated: "Former student
wounded in war. Decorated hero returns
to recuperate "
Tears came to Supersheep's eyes. He
could almost hear stirring strains of
martial music, and a great vision of the
stars and bars, er, stripes flying proudly in
the breeze came to him. "Why, that's
wonderful," he thought. Now he can
come back and finish school and make
something really useful of himself to the
community." Supersheep cast his vote,
then went home and wrote a letter to
T-Man, telling him how proud he was and
that T-Man should come back to the
university now that he had grown up.
T-Man Unaffected
The letter had very little effect on
T-Man, though, when his girl read it to
him (he had been blinded by shrapnel).
As a matter of fact, he didn't understand
a word of it (part of his cerebral cortex
had been shot away). Even the presence
of his girl didn't have much effect (the
shrapnel had also emasculated him). It

graduates of this school are pretty loyal
and numerous group. They may not be as
vociferous as our present student
generation and some of them may have
even supported you over the years.
But when you go around telling folks
that their alma mater is going to get "run
over," then they just might turn on you
and vote for another candidate. Even if
that other candidate is, horror of horrors,
a Dook man.
So we won't hold our breath waiting
for that steam roller. O.K., George?
On The Other
Hand, George
Twas months 'fore election, all over the
land
There is looting and shooting, no one
raised his hand.
Away down in Texas, with grandson and
pup.
Old Santa himself was living it up.
He plans to retire with pockets that sag,
After leaving the people holding the bag.
The others all scramble, cutting each
throat,
Lying and trying to get every vote.
Poor happy Humphrey, in spite of
himself,
Can't help but look like a sly little elf.
He worked hard for Santa, pulling his
sleigh,
Helping to give the country away.
There's last minute Rocky, McCarthy
came fast,
And sad little Richard who always comes
last
Then all of a sudden but what would
appear,
A long shot named GEORGE coming up
from the rear.
They call him a racist, a bigot to boot,
But he seems like the one who's telling
the truth.
He tells of the nine old men on the
' bench,
With 200 LQ. and no common sense.
Who hand down decisions with every
appeal,
And make it so easy to rape and steal
The greedy , lawmakers all filled up with
booze,
Afraid of extremists, they shake in their
, shoes.
While dear Mrs. Santa plants bushes and

was all for a good cause, though, because
the day he was hit the score was: Good
Guys-666, Bad Guys-15 (as reported by
the military Public Information Office).
Of course, the village where T-Man was
wounded was taken over again by the Bad
Guys an hour after his unit left.
T-Man and Supersheep will no longer
have their hyperbolic confrontations.
T-Man, however, achieved that sort of
immortality that people can have. In an
apartment somewhere within the
ever-expanding thirty minute circle sits a
group of students who discuss the short
pamphlets T-Man wrote. They are
concerned not only with parking
problems but also with ridiculous rules,
departments which pay attention first to
an index card recording time studied and
last to ,the quality of work produced.
Iney say there should be courses for
non-majors in order that the majors 'do
not waste time and the non-majors do riot
get lost. Some want to call T-Man's
writings Mr, others Common Sense.
