Tom Gooding, Editor
Morrow
'In Anderson
Dean C. Wilson Anderson of the
UNC School of Social Work doesn't
know if he'll be dean of the school
next fall.
During the summer, Anderson
and students in the school say,
Provost J.C. Morrow informed the
dean that he would not be
recommended for a second
five-year term as dean because two
of his appointments had caused the
University "political
embarrassment."
Morrow says he never informed
Anderson that he would not be
recommended.
We doubt Dean Anderson would
fabricate a story of his dismissal as
head of the School of Social Work
or that he would allow his students
to spend as much time trying to
save a job not in question as they
have.
The Provost said on Oct. 1 9 that
no recommendation has been made
on Anderson's reappointment for
next year. Morrow declined to
comment on the" recommendation
at all last Friday.
The controversy goes all the way
back to the fall of 1967 when
Howard Fuller, then a community
organizer in Durham's black
neighborhood, was hired as a
lecturer on community
organization.

along with
leaders of
several other political
the state of North
Carolina, said the hiring of Fuller
was a "bad mistake."
Fuller was fired.
He was fired because he was an
uppidy nigger who was leading
black efforts to improve their living
conditions, not because he was
unqualified to lecture on
organization.
One has only to look at the high
degree of solidarity within
Durham's black community and
know that Howard Fuller was the
man who started it to realize few
people are more qualified to lecture
on community organization than
Fuller.
However, that appointment,
coming early in Anderson's term as
dean, was not the only factor
contributing to Morrow's decision.
Anderson recommended to
Chancellor J. Carlyle Sitterson last
fall that Chapel Hill Mayor Howard
Lee be hired as a lecturer in the
School of Social Work.
Sitterson, remembering the
controversy oyer the Fuller
appointment, turned the proposed
appointment over to the Board of
Trustees who killed it.
. The Lee controversy brought
the open a sharp dispute between
the state's only Black mayor and
Governor Robert Scott. A dispute
marked by Lee's statement that
Scott was a "bigot."
Lee said he was misquoted by
the press on his charges against
Scott, and the dispute was ended.
But the state and the University
remembered that Anderson was the
one who began the whole thing by
recommending the appointment.
No one stopped to consider that
maybe both Lee and Fuller were
among the most qualified people in
the nation, and certainly the most
qualified in the state, to lecture on
community organization in the
School of Social Work.
All the University, and the
Provost, seem able to remember are
the newspaper headlines and the
letters from irate alumni screaming
about UNC hiring uppidy blacks.
For' Anderson not to be re-hired
because of these two appointments
is ridiculous, and for Provost
Morrow not to inform Anderson of
his future in this University is
totally unacceptable.

To The Editor:
The Daily Tar Heel has an obviously
incompetent staff to review music and
records. One reviewer wrote th3t Joe
Cocker's Mad Dogs and Englishmen was
completely recorded at Filmore, but
anyone with any sense knows that
announcers at the Fillmore do not speak
with French accents. The albune is a
collection of songs from concerts with
the lion's share recorded at the Fillmore.
Another time a reviewer reoorted
Spooky Tooth's Last Puff is a significant
change from their Celebration album, but
the Celebration album was a sidetrip as
anyone who has heard Spooky Two
knows. However, then the Tar Heel
contributed to the cause of mind
pollution with an article of twaddle,
tommyrot, and rubbish on Chicago.
Chicago is basically a good group in
that it is pleasant to listen to, but not for
any reasons submitted by Bryan
Cumming. Cumming has the bad taste to
compare . Terry Kath with Clapton,
Harrison, and Hendrix (surprisingly
enough he forgot Winter and Page).
"However, while Kath is competent as seen
in "Free Form Guitar," he is by no means
a vituoso like Clapton and especially Jimi
Hendrix, two excellent guitarists and
composers.
He also called Chicago original which
might be true if one ignored the presence
of The Paul Butterfield Blues Band, The
Electric Flag, and the first Blood, Sweat,
and Tears, and their diversified use of
instruments.. Chicago, he contends, make
B, S, and T "sound synthetic and
condescending." He must be reternng to
the present version; however, the Blood,
Sweat, and Tears led by Al Kooper was
an inventive group and hardly synthetic.
Rolling Stone in fact blasted both E4,&T
(as it stands now) and Chicago aseek
groups in comparision to the lesser
known Jerry Hahn Brotherhood.
Chicago has not moved to the paradise
of "instant ticket sales" as he suggests as
New York's Fillmore and Caoitol
Theaters if they sell out do not do so
instanteously as do Traffic or Ten Years
After. However, one of the strong points
is their lyrics. In the first album were the
words, "Did you ever think we're in it for
the money? You might be right," but
Cumming is not. They are there partially ,,
to express views, and- if one agrees with
his contention that Rock has never made
any intellectual claims, we suggest
picking up an album by Steppenwolf or'
Jimi Hendrix for starters.

Pub' Board Actions Necessary
J believe in getting into hot water. I
think it keeps you clean.
--G.K.Chesterton
I had really hoped that I could avoid
getting into political squabbles when I
volunteered to J on the Publications
Board. And it doesn't bother me
tremendously to have to explain my
position to many of my friends, even
though I'm wasting about 45 minutes a
day that way.
.But the most unkindest cut of all was
Tom Gooding's implication in Sunday's
Tar Heef that the Pub Board, in my
motion, had stabbed Student
'Government in the back by signing the
Yackety-Yack contract.
Well, even that much I could stand.
The straw that broke the Lentz's back,
however, was Gooding's inference that I
have a bad case of morality.

Kent State Fund
Student Safeguard
To The Editor:
While I was away from North Carolina
0oi the last two years, I heard wild
rumors of a big change at UNC, and end
to apathy. Either these were indeed only
wild rumors or apathy has once again
settled heavily- on the large majority of
students and faculty members.
A rally was held to raise money for
and to show support of the people from
Kent State who have been indicted by the
Ohio grand jury. The numerical showing
was pitiful for a university of the size of
UNC, especially when it is considered
that support of these people is certainly
not indicative of advocation of violent
revolution. No matter what an
individual's political ideology for
changing trie system, the Kent State
Defense Fund can and should be
coneSived of as a self-defense fund for
freedom against repression by those in
power.
Of course, it rained pretty hard
Friday.

Admission Needed
To Restore Unity
To The Editor:
Concerning Mr. Grover Proctor's
editorial of October 21, I would like to
say that I am glad h is willing to admit
that his "side" just might be at fault in
the increasing polarization taking place in
our nation today. '
If more people on either side of the
political fence would at least admit that
they share in the responsibility for this
widening rift, there just might be a
chance for real unity to be restored. But,
alas, the name-calling and mud-slinging
continue.
the State of North Carolina is pretty
hopeless business.
And besides, it would be pretty hard
to explain to the judge that being called
too moral these days is something of an
insult.
So I've decided to simply lay my case
beore the people, and hope that
someone doesn't arrest me for indecent
exposure. ,
I voted to sign the Yack contract for
several reasons.
In the first place, I think it would have
been illegal for us not to sign.
Secondly, a two or three-month delay
for Student Legislature debate on the
Yack budget would .have effectively
crippled this year's Yack.
Last-minute budget reconsiderations
would also set a bad precedent for the
administration of student activities.
And finally, I was never given any
good reason for slicing the Yack budget.
The question of legality is raised
because North Carolina state law makes
verbal contract enforceable.
Former Pub Board Chairman Bunnar
1 Froman told the publishing company, not .
once but twice, that they had won the
contract for the Yack at their bid price.
This means, simply, that even if we

The rally staged Friday to raise money
for the defense fund of the 25 people
indicated at Kent State was slightly above
being a failure.
But people aren't as concerned as they
once were. Or at least they aren't as
optimistic. And it rained that day.
The people organizing the rally said
they were prompted to action by a Rick
Gray editorial denouncing the apathy on
this campus after the grand jury
indictments.
These organizers originally wanted to
start a boycott-strike-whatever in protest
of the indictments. Their first move was
to come to the office of the Daily Tar
Heel to make known their intentions and
ask for publicity and editorial support.
Unlike the organizers, various staff
members of the Tar Heel have helped
toco
A good example of this was Mr. Bello's
editorial of October 20-in which he
rather bluntly accuses the Vice President
of being "an evil man" and "in the wrong
place" in American affairs. Seedless to
say, this sort of talk will get us nowhere,
any more than Mr. Agnew's rhetoric will
brine about anv realv unification.
As for Mr. Proctor being aligned with
1he infamous J. Anthony Pilkington
III", I would like to say, as a personal
friend of Mr. Pilkington, that while their
political beliefs are basically the same,
Mr. Pilkington is not nearly as outspoken
as Mr. Proctor. He does not find it
necessary to apologize for his beliefs.

Mother Searching
For Her Daughter
To The Editor:
I'm writing to you to see if you can
help me locate my daughter. He name is
Patricia Jean Kutscherovsky, born on
Oct. 19, 1952 in Chicago.
Her father and I were divorced and he
left Chicago with her in August of 1958.
That'S4 the last time I have seen her.
She had red hair, green eyes and is
probably tall and thin. We called her
Patty Jean.
His present wife is from that area and I
believe Patty is with some of her relatives.
She was hidden away all these years and
wasn't allowed to live' with her father
Oust to spite me).
I'm married and have three children,
and can't afford a private detective. Patty
is 18 now and I know she wants to see me
too.
If you could just put a small column in
your paper, I'd be ever so grateful, maybe
she will see it. Thank you ever so much.

'A Pox On You,'
Mr. SDS Mocker
To The Editor:
Patrick B. Mullen has an incredible
talent for imitation. ("SDS Increasing
Problems" in Sunday's DTH) Who but he
and other apish personalities could write
so clearly 300 words of pure rhetorical
hadn't signed the contract we were bound
to meet our obligations as per the verbal
understanding we had with the publishing
company.
In the second place, holding the Yack
budget up in the air until Student
Legislature had a chance to wear itself
out over the controversy would have tied
the Yack editor's hands.
Color pictures would have been
delayed, photo assignments for football
games would have been almost out of the
question.
The result would have been a slow
death for the Yackety-Yack at the hands
of the President of the Student Body and
his staff.
It's not that I've got anything against
doing away with ie Yack. My picture
has appeared in one issue during my
entire college career, and I would
probably vote to do away with the whole
damn thing.
That kind of decision, however, lies
with the Student Legislaturcjiot the
Pub Board.
And the proper time for such
considerations is during the budget
hearings each spring.
Let's face it. Proposing a drastic
budget cut for the Yack on the day the

organize, support and publicize all
varieties of strikes, boycotts, petitions
and marches in their years at Carolina.
There was a degree of naive
exuberance that night in the' organizers'
descriptions of their plans for a protest
strike. The arguments and explanations of
the Tar Heel people, quickly banished any
illusions about the success of a mass
demonstration on this campus.
There is a question as to which was
more sadly comical-the Tar Heel staff
sagely denouncing demonstrations or the
aspect of the organizers' ignorance of
recent history.
With the exception of Rick Gray, the
staff members were saying "Look, we've
been through it all before. WeVe seen
thousands marching, we've heard the
slogans and we've breathed the tear gas.

the mocking bird, he ha no tonpst of his

How he railed SDS for showing its

fighting against the Vietnam war,
imperialism, racism, male chauvinism,

for the troubled country.

rhetorical language. He accuses SDS of

self-righteousness that he drives virtue to
the gutter where he can mock at it?
A pox on you, mocker.

sound fiscal policy. .
I know Vice President Bill. Blue said
there wasn't tirne 'to bring the matter
before the Pub Board, since it only came
up a week before the contract was due to
be signed. .
But Tommy Bello's administration has
been gunning for the Yack since, he came
into office, long before the final budget
was approved.
That means that issue only "turned
up" after eight months of waiting for the
proper moment to spring on ' a' TJublic
aroused by last year's crummy Yack5ot
And about the only reason I was given
to hold off on the contract wasr that
Tommy Bello thought it was a good idea.
Well, I realize Mr. Bello's popularity
poll is down a little this year - He
narrowly escaped impeachment after the
summer session escapdes and I know of at

which he has slapped in the face - by
