Book Ex Sandwiches Win
Disapproval Of Students
UNC sandwiches arc worse than
the brand that used to be sold at
the Book Ex in the opinions of
three out of every fourstudents,
according to a survey taken
yesterday during Time-Out Day.
Maybe now, after picketing,
petitioning, boycotting, and a
sampling of opinion, the Book Ex
will remove their bad tasting,
expensive sandwiches off the
market. If not students need to
keep pressure on the Book Ex by
boycotting the sandwiches.
Book Ex head Tom Shetley had
sought the trial for the sandwiches
Tuesday because he didn't believe
most students could really tell the
difference between the sandwiches
Tuesday because he didn't believe
most students could really tell the

In addition, he stated last week that
he really didn't think the majority
of the students were concerned
about the sandwiches but that it
was only a small minority that was
raising a ruckus.
Now he should know that most
students can tell the difference
between the University Food

Academic Freedom Suffers
By Anti-Riot Amendment
From The Columbia Spectator
The United States Congress has
once again sought to encroach upon
the academic freedom of American
Security Police
Change In Order
Special Assistant to the
Chancellor Claiborne Jones'
announcement Tuesday morning
that UNC security officers will no
longer attend campus political
meetings is a commendable step by
the Administration to insure that a
free atmosphere for inquiry will
exist at UNC.
The situation that existed prior
to today's decision, a situation in
which radicals could expect to see a
campus security policeman at every
meeting, created the impression of
an administration girding for battle
with students and faculty members
that disagreed with them.
The matter was aggravated by
the fact that meetings of
organizations like the Southern
Student Organizing Committee and
the New University Conference
were open to the public (rightfully
so) and hence to policemen while
the Administration made their
plans and decisions in private.
The new change in the situation
should free the air and make sincere
discussion of the issues our
university and society faces easier.

made by outside company, and
they clearly prefer those made by
an outside company.
As we have said before, in our
attempts to move a very stubborn,
money-hungry Book Ex, the Book
Ex, as an agency with a monopoly
on campus has an obligation to take
into consideration the consumers.
It has ignored this obligation,
repeatedly however.
Shetley insists on paying no
attention to the consumers in his
dealing. Students have tried
repeatedly, first through petitions,
then boycott, then picketing, to get
him to do something about a
serious problem of poor quality,
high priced sandwiches.
Shetley, now that he has definite
evidence that his sandwiches are far
worse than those of the Made-Rite
company has exhausted all excuses
he can pawn-off on students. The
only thing left for him to do is to
get rid of the UNC sandwiches and
begin stocking a better brand.
Until he does so, however,
students should continue to
boycott the sandwiches and exert
themselves to try to make a
boycott 100 per cent effective.
universities and on the political
freedoms of their students. The
"anti-riot" amendment to the 1968
Higher Education Act is an
unconstitutional attempt to
-exercise control over what Congress
sees as lawlessness and orderlessness
on campuses throughout the
nation. Its repressive nature is
equivalent to federal support of
police departments to cure the
sickness of the ghettos.
While the anti-riot amendment
may prove ineffective because of its
vagueness, its danger lies in the
possibility that law and order
maniacs in the executive branch
may choose to clamp down on
student protest by denying federal
aid to students for involvement in
actions such as the seizure of
University buildings or even for
lesser offenses.
We find the whole concept of
federal regulation of scholarship
and loan money on the grounds of
political activity abhorrent.
Scholarship money from the
government or other sources,
should be given on the bases of
financial need and academic
qualifications; a student's politics
or non-academic activities should
not prejudice the allocation of
funds to him.
The Columbia administration
should refuse to cooperate with the
new law in any way, as it refused to
cooperate with Selective Service
regulations requiring universities to
supply rank information to local
draft boards.
In the meantime, Columbia and
other universities should apply all
possible pressure to get this
amendment repealed.

Wallace Vote Protests Nolhin
The writer of a letter to the editor of a
local newspaper remarks: "If my vote

Such comments are ubiquitous, and
though often conceding defeat for the
candidate, suggest that an expression of
dissatisfaction with the present state of
affairs can best be manifested by a vote
for George Wallace. ,
This is the protest vote.

Letters To The Editor
tr&iicli
Dear Mr. Strauch:
While thumbing hurriedly through
your recent publication (Any slower
viewing of your artwork has proved
damaging to my eyes), I noticed that you
have neglected one important aspect of
campus life that brings together a good
portion of the rubes, flunkies, snorks,
politicos, cool frat men, dorm rats, and
occasionally the faculty sleebs who infest
this campus.
Yes, I'm referring to that arena
provided to test the physical prowness of
the clumsy clunk, the major love of the
frustrated high school athlete, and the
delight of a sadistic office staff who
chuckle gleefully over accident reports
and protests which result when Otelia
Conner calls a tag football game-the
"Intramural Field."
Since you are obviously running out of
fresh material (Let's face it, Bruce, old
man, you started slow and rapidly
faded!), I thought you might find this
worth looking into. However, if you
know anything at all about our program,
don't spoil your record by expressing an
opinion on it. All I want is some
unbiased, totally worthless insight into
this activity's wrongs. You seem well
qualified to make such an evaluation. I
hope that this will be convenient for you
in the near future.
Sincerely yours,
Don Eastwood

particular persuasion of both major
Democratic gubernatorial candidates,
voted for Dr. Reginald Hawkins, a Negro.
The vote was not cast upon the merits of
the candidate himself, but on the basis of
both his race and status as a liberal.
Inherent in this reasoning was the idea
that Hawkins cause was doomed to
defeat thus assuring that these votes
could not elect an unqualified candidate.
Bad Protest
A protest vote for Wallace cannot
pretend such legitimacy. The fact that
Wallace may very well provoke a
constitutional crisis by throwing the
election of a President into the House of
Representatives is cause enough to
reconsider such a protest vote. It is
doubtful that either candidate will make
a deal with Wallace and thereby settle the
election in the Electoral College. But it is
a possibility that once the House is faced
with choosing a President, it will fail to
give any candidate the 26 votes necesary.
Then of the two vice-presidential
candidates with the highest electoral vote

Redder Dislikes
Editor:
As a Wake Forest alumnus who has the
privilege of continuing his formal
education in one of the University of
North Carolina's professional schools, I
have suffered in silence as long as my
conscience permits. During the past three
years, I have witnessed a number of
statements in your newspaper in which
judgments were rendered regarding
various aspects of this region's
universities. One of these described the
campus of Clemson University as
resembling an abandoned factory.
Another one appearing the day following
last year's Wake Forest-Carolina football
game, stated that perhaps Carolina's third
straight loss to the Deacs would make
next year's team finally take Wake
Forest's team seriously. A third one prior
to this year's State-Carolina football game
mentioned that there must be some magic
in a rivalry that causes a team (State's) to
continue to schedule games with a school
(Carolina) which results in only one
victory for every five tries.
The most recent one appeared in the
Friday (October 25) edition in an article
by Art Chansky entitled "UNC Standards
Hinder Grid Program." He states the
following: "North Carolina has been
called the finest institution in the South.
UNC's reputation is known far and wide.
But still, we find it difficult to match the
football prowess of such schools as N.C.
State and South Carolina, two universities
that could hardly be called academic
institutions." He further mentions that
"The number of potentially great football
players that could not meet the school's
entrance requirements in recent years
must be very high. Carolina has to be very
appealing to high school standouts. But a
look at Carolina also means a look at
State, South Carolina, Wake Forest and
other Southern schools whose entrance
requirements are not as high as UNC's."
(He fails to mention the outstanding UNC
freshman football teams during the past
five years, several of which enjoyed
unbeaten records for the season against
the above-mentioned schools.)
All of us who follow the fortunes of
the teams of the Atlantic Coast
Conference are sometimes disappointed
that outstanding athletes whose first
preference is one of our schools winds up
in a rival conference because of his failure
to meet the A.C.C.'s minimum academic
requirements. I appreciate that Mr.
would elect the man who would become
the Acting President on January 20.
But those using the Wallace candidacy
as a means of expressing dissatisfaction
ought to examine exactly what they
protest.
Do they protest a political system in
which the two parties are similar in their
platforms and seem alienated from the
individual voter? Then they do well to
consider that the two-party system has
lent a powerful check to certain divisive
forces in our country: (1)
SECTIONALISM is stifled by the
nationalizing influence of the two parties;
(2) The two parties have prevented a
polarization of the HAVES and

Chansky points this out as" a reason why
our records are often unimpressive against
non-conference opposition; however, I
firmly believe that he owes it to his
readers to state specific information and
the sources thereof before he makes glib
comments about the "lower" admission
standards of other A.C.C.schools. I
should also like to know of even one
specific instance in which an athlete
failed to meet UNC's admission standards
and subsequently was admitted by Wake
Forest.
My comments are offered with purely
constructive intentions. I am genuinely
proud that the University of North
Carolina is A truly great institution, but I

Young People Ychl
The young people's pointof view"
having been so often overstated, it is high
time that an overstated dissent against
that point of view was made.
You may call this a praise of the status
quo, if you please, or a dissent against
dissent against what has become the
prevailing opinion that young people
know it all and have the real low down
k nitty-gritty on everything.
An example of young people's so
called brilliance can be seen in the field of
educational reform. Young people are so
brilliant that they know what they want
to learn, . which, of course, makes it
unnecessary to go to class. So what do
these mama's darlings do? They organize
a Let It All Hang Out experimental
college course and run through the
campus wearing beanies with a propellor
on top.
Now isn't that fun? Isn't it? Yes. But
it's not education.
These same young people say that
America is sick. WelL that's one thing
they are right about. They should know
because they have certainly played a part
in turning America intothe nursery it has
become instead of a land of pioneers and
explorers.
It's not mama who has taken over
America, it's little Georgie and little Suzie

THE POLITICAL PROCESS.
Vicious Circle
And do these protesters cast their vote
against the disorder and violence in the
country? Consider this. The slow, but
increasing movement of the large mass of
Americans in the "middle" is toward the
riht. Picture the icious circle beginning
with the protests of the "New Left"
which are becoming more and more
militant. Repeatedly frustrated by
suppression from right-wing elements, the
"left is further
exacerbated; protests
become
more violent. Given the
movement of the bulk of the citizenry to
thP right, a tvre of "military order" rriay
be achieved by repressing these extremist
elements, but it will be an order in which
the law has become a pawn of the
majority, not respecting the rights of the
minority which a democracy guarantees.
When candidate Wallace predicted a
white revolution for local control of the
public schools should he not be elected
President, he risked becoming the father
of such an idea. Though Wallace argues
against the liberal's disparaging of the
federal constitution, it was he who
bypassed his own state's constitution in
order to retain de facto control of the
state government. It is ironic, too, that
the same man who defied federal law
when it conflicted with Alabama law by
standing in the schoolhouse door, now
denounces the state law of Ohio, claiming
it is in conflict with federal law. (And
guess where he has gone to try and right
this wrong?) It is a case of, as one of the
"Major candidates" put it, deciding which
laws one prefers and trying to violate the
others-EXACTLY WHAT WALLACE
ACCUSES THE "ULTRALIBERAL"
AND THE "MILITANT" OF DOING.
So then a protest vote for Wallace is
cast in protest of the democratic tenet of
majority rule with minority rights; it is a
protest of the fair and impartial
application of the law.
To those who intend to express their
dissatisfaction by voting for Wallace,
what are you really .protesting?. Hp wqan
you best manifest your discontent? We
do not believe voting for George Wallace
is a legitimate means of protest.

do not think that it should use this as
grounds for proclaiming itself THE truly
great institution. Carolina's fine
reputation is solidly founded, and it
should not allow itself to be cheapened
by students who pass judgments (based
on unfounded opinion and emotion
rather than documented evidence) which
seek to enhance its own image by
degrading that of other worthy
institutions.
A wise man once said that arrogance is
a sign of smallness.
