ore Debates Needed
On Business, Morality
The debate between the Dow
Chemical Co. representative and
UNC assistant professor Lewis
Lipsitz turned out to be an
excellent discussion on morality
and government which, as Lipsitz
said, "serves as a far more
important purpose than anything
that goes on in the classroom."
For this reason we think there
needs to be more debates of the
type that occurred last night and
we believe that the Administration
or Faculty Council should develop
some rule that would require a
company recruiting on campus to
send a debater if a significant
portion of the University
community requested such a
debate.
Such a requirement was
proposed in the Faculty Council
last year and defeated after the
University Placement Service
Director Joe Galloway told faculty
members that such a requirement
would create a tremendous amount
of confusion and trouble for the
companies that would be required
to debate.
However, after the experience
with Dow it would seem that such a
requirement would not be an undue
hardship for companies and would
be in line with UNC's function as
an educational institution, at which
University Should Put
Money Where Mouth Is
From The Daily Cavalier
The title of the symposium held
by St. Paul's Student Vestry
Sunday night was "The Black
Student at the White University."
As might have been expected,
however, the conversation centered,
from the very beginning, on the
problem of the absence of black
students at the University rather
than on the problems of those few
who are here. This was a logical
re-orientation for the symposium,
though, for most of the problems
of the black students at the white
University spring directly from the
lack of more of them here.
There are approximately 40 or
50 full-time black students at the
University in Charlottesville. There
are approximately 7800 or 8000
full-time students at the University
in Charlottesville. That means that
approximately six-tenths of one per
cent of the full-time enrollment of
the University in Charlottesville is
black. And the purpose of the
University is to prepare itst
students for the world outside.
The administration is anything
but oblivious to the University
absurd failure to meet current
national standards of
non-discrimination or integration or
whatever you choose to calli-it has
a perfect record of formally
discountenancing discrimination by
anyone associated with it, or
publicly withholding its public
funds from anyone who
discriminates, of piously being
offended at all charges of
discrimination or racism leveled at
it, of trying to locate housing for its
black members-it has a perfect
record, as one panelist put it
Sunday night, of formally and
politely opposing discrimination;
consequently, it. has a perfect
record of doing nothing of any
significance to work away from
tokenism of the most odious soort
toward legitimate, representative,
realistic, real non-discrimination as
would be manifested by a

values of the society and individual
arc supposed to be subjected to
careful scrutiny.
While Dow is having to spend
more money to defend its position
than it's making off the sale of
napalm, we don't think the cost of
sending a debater is a hardship on
them or on any company that
might be required to send a
debater.
Dow and other companies spend
thousands of dollars every year on
advertising just to improve the
image of their company. This year
alone Dow has run ads costing
around SI 00 to $150 in major
college dailies across the country. If
a company can afford this they can
certainly afford to send a debater,
especially considering that a
debater can probably do more to
improve the image of the company
than any advertising. (The Dow
man did a good job of proving his
company isn't the ogre that it is
made out to be, something that
none of their advertising would
have been able to accomplish.)
For these reasons we feel it
would be a wise move on the part
of either the Administration or the
Faculty Council to enact a rule that
would make it a requirement of
companies to send debaters when
their is significant interest shown in
such.
numerically balanced community.
For an administrator to talk about
how hard and how sincerely the
University works toward getting
more black students, faculty,
administrators, and other
employees is no less hypocritical
than it is for a follower of George
Wallace to assert that his candidate
is not racist. That should be
obvious enought, for sincere efforts
made in the quantities .we are told
they are made should certainly
bring at least some results.
The point is this: the University
has regularly declared its opposition
to discrimination, but it has
regularly failed to take an active
role against discrimination
anywhere, much less on its own
Grounds.
If that were not enough, the
University adds to it all a hypocrisy
which can spring only from trying
to defend indefensible positions or
from trying to reconcile
irreconcilable "ideals." The
University has three options: it can
sincerely pursue the ideals
expressed in those proclamations
by making every effort to enroll
many more black students; or it can
admit its preference to "let well
enough alone," as long as the
standards for federal funds are met.
The third option would make
the University honest again, but it
would, of course, be challenged
immediately. The first option is
what it is doing now, but it is
failing because its actions do not
support its words and it thus
becomes painfully hypocritical. So
the only logical course left is the
middle one actively to seek to get
more Negro students enrolled-and
the consensus is that the first step
toward doing so is to hire a black
admissions officer. Alumni or not,
such a course is certainly the least
painful before the world, for
nothing is quite so embarrasing as
is being used universally as a bad
example. -

All right class, what's the biggest
athletic opponent of the year for Carolina
in any sport?
That's right, Dook.
And who will be the opponent in the
biggest home basketball game of the year
which many of you will miss because you
will still be at home for Christmas
vacation?
Right again. Dook. January 4.
Now here's a trickier question for you
lean-and-hungry thinkers of the class.
When will the Maryland Terrapins sail
into Blue Heaven for their game with the
Tar Heels?
Very good. February 1 is the answer.
Most of you won't be here then, either,
because second-semester classes don't
start until the following Monday,

Letters To The Editor
Library Misuse
To The Editor:
Now that the new Undergraduate
Library has been in operation for over a
month, several things have come to the
attention of both the staff and concerned
students that should be pointed out to
the entire student body.
The most pressing problem that has
arisen is the ill-treatment that the
building and its furniture suffer at the
hands of inconsiderate users of the
library. A common sight in the library,
which admittedly lends itself to comfort,
is the countless number of students who
kick their keet up on the furniture.
Even after a month of use, tables and
chairs are being scratched and damaged
because of improper use, and the adverse
impression that this and other instances
of slovenly behavior in the library by a
minority of inconsiderate students have
on the rest of the student body, faculty,
alumni, and other visitors to the new
building could become serious if it
continues. Improper use and the resulting
deterioration of a two million dollar

Subject: Decorating School for Christmas
We have been informed by the Office
of Health, Education and Welfare,
Washington, that a WHITE CHRISTMAS
would be in violation of Title II of the
Civil Rights Act of 1964 . . . Therefore,
the following steps are to be taken to
insure that we comply with the Act
during the Christmas season in the school.
1. All Christmas trees must have at
least 23.4 COLORED BULBS, and they
must be placed throughout the tree and
not segregated in the back of the tree.
2. Christmas presents canot be
wrapped in the white paper. However,
interim approval can be given if
COLORED RIBBON is used to tie them.

And if you bop on by Carmichael as
late as 11 o'clock on that same morning,
chances are very good vou won't get one
at all.
PACK 'EM IX
You see, only about half of
Carmichael's 8.800 seats go to students.
And there are now about 16,000
students, a great many more of them
basketball-crazed than are allowed to see
any game they want.
A lesson in poor economics; to wit,
the building of an "auditorium" which
was inadequate a year after it was
opened.
Of course, we know that the
University planners couldn't forsee the
brand of basketball teams we have fielded
since Carmichael was built.
But go watch one freshman basketball
game, talk to Dean Smith or John Lotz,
and then read about how enrollment is
soaring, and you can see that the same
kind of situation for students is
guaranteed for at least the next four
years. Students frustrated by not being
able to see their own school superstars in
action.

problem not being at school to see two

building cannot but have adverse effects
of the university as a whole.
Other common examples include
smoking throughout the library outside
the smoking area on the lower floor
which is forbidden by fire regulations,
and the complete disarrangement of
lounge furniture in the library. Cigarette
burns are already being found on the
carpets, and when lounge furniture is
dragged away from lounge areas to carrels
and study tables, it take? several house a
week of library staff time to reassemble
them. This time should be put to better
use, of course, at the circulation desk.
In addition, a number of people can
usually be found throughout the new
library stretched out and sleeping on the
carpets and sofas. Continued abuse of
furniture in the Undergraduate Library
could perhaps cause an agonizing
reappraisal as to the feasibility of the
place of comfortable furniture in the
library.
The above comments should not be
interpreted as criticism of the student
body by a group ot persmcKety iipranans

Kings must be of a minority race.
4. If Christmas music is played, "We
shall Overcome" must be given equal
time . . . Under no circumstances is "I'm
Dreaming of a White Christmas" to be
played.
5. Care should be taken in party
planning. For example:
A. Use pink champagne, instead of
white.
B. Turkey may be served but only if
the white and dark meat are on the same
platter. There will be no separate but
equal platters permitted.
C. Use Chocolate Royale ice cream,
instead of vanilla. j
D Both Chocolate and white milk
must be served. There win be no freedom
of choice plan. Milk will be served
without regard to color
A team from HEW will visit us on
December 25th to determine our
compliance with the Act. If it snows on

seems that two years ago when the cage
schedules were being drawn up, Dook had
a school calendar conflict for January 4,
1968. The game was to have been played
in Durham since the 1967 game was to be
played in Chapel Hill.
Dook officials asked UNC to move the
game to Chapel Hill and to give them the
March 1 date in Durham. Disregarding the
"home-court advantage" rule and the fact
that the latter date, the final home game
for both schools, is usually a battle for
the Atlantic Coast Conference title, it
seemed a pretty innocent move.
"At the time our school calendar
planned for school to be in session on
Jan. 4" says UNC acting Athletic
Director Walter Rabb. "So we agreed to
the switch."
By that time, a television contract had
been awarded for statewide coverage of
the game. "And both schools had other
games committed, so it was too late to do
anything," Rabb relates.
"We figure that a great deal of
students who are really interested in
basketball will be back in Chapel Hill by
the fourth," he said in defense of the
Saturday date.
"And this game would not be the only
reason for them to come back," he adds.
"There will be a lot of social activity
going on in Chapel Hill then, too."

Needs Fixin
The new Undergraduate Library should
be used to the fullest extent by the entire
academic community as I think it is being
used. It is simply that the impressions and
criticism of students, faculty, alumni and
other visitors to the Undergraduate
Library concerning the abuse of the
building should be passed on to the
student body, to whom, of course, the
building really belongs.
Sincerely,
