Museum must move
.Raw
deal for tttie Indians
by Peter Barnes
Feature Writer
V I . .
Durncd if the white man ain't gone
and done it again -kicked the Indians off
their reservation and sent them packing
with no place to go.
Never mind that the reservation is
really just Person Hal! here on campus,
and that the Indians have all been dead
for centuries, it Ls still rather tragic.
But fair or not, the end has come -and
the sun is slowly sinking on the North
Carolina Indian exhibits of Person Hall.
The official title of the reservation is
the Research Laboratories of
Anthropology, and it is housed in one
end of Person Hall, the small ivy-covered
building belween liili Hall and Old West.
A series of museum exhibits have been
set up in Person to display interesting
artifacts found in excavations around the
state by students and faculty members of
the UNC Anthropology Department.
But the Research Laboratories are
having to move into Alumni Building at
the end of this semester, and while their
new quarters will actually provide more
work space, there is simply no place
suitable for exhibitions.
And so the Red Man must once again
yield to progress, leaving the Happy
Hunting Ground and be filed away in
storage boxes stacked against a wall.
Originally developed in l'M5 the
museum itself really represents only the
tip of the iceberg in the complete
Research Laboratories program, and the
Lab will continue unchanged as a
supplement for the regular Anthropology
curriculum.
The specimens in the Lab
files-collections of artifacts from
cultures all around the world, skulls and
skeletons from past civilizations-will still
be maintained for use by the students and
faculty, and thiough excavation work
sponsored by the Lab, students will
continue to receive practical experience
in field work.

Alas, poor Yorick . . .

This may not be the skull that Hamlet spoke of, but it sits disconsolate as students
pack up Person Hall's Indian artifacts for storage. Its turn will come soon, and who
knows who will pick it up next?
Chapel Hill Cinema
"Sometimes a Great Notion." Paul
Newman's version of Ken Kesey's novel of a
lumberjacking family merely skimps over the
numerous topics it raises (It was badly cut
before release) and is really satisfactory. Still,
Newman has a nice feel for the people involved
and the action acting is generally excellent,
especially from Henry Fonda. Carolina Theatre.

But the puhlic display cases will have
to he closed, and no longer will thousands
of school children, university students
and public visitors he able to wander
through the arrowheads, the burial urns,
the pipes and the pictures of generations
of North Carolma India ns.
And so for just one more semester can
the Indian museum take you hack -hack
to a time when the big cities weren't
Raleigh and Charlotte, but Town Creek
and Saponi, when the weapons weren't
bombs and missiles, but knives and
spears, when the meals weren't steak and
potatoes, but venison and corn meal.
The displays are simple-wall cases
depicting the evolution of the arrowhead,
glass covered tables holding hunting
knives and necklaces.
Dim lights bathe the displays
themselves, but the rest of the room is
dark.
A corn grinder stands in one corner,
bowls and pipes hang beside it.
The carefully preserved remains of an
infant buried in 1700 lie in a case against
the wall.
Another panel is just a series oi'
skulls-teeth grinning and in generally
good shape except for a gaping hole in
one fellow's head.
But after this semester, their eternal
resting place will be just another stack of
cardboard cartons. The white man moves
in again.

Is it true that what you don't know won't hurt you?
Sometimes, maybe. But, by and large, it doesn't make a lot of
sense as a guiding principle.
Makes much more sense when you turn it around. Like: "A
wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth
strength." (Proverbs XXIV, 5.) Or: "Let the fools say what they
please: knowledge is worth something." (Jean de La Fontaine.)
Or, as Francis Bacon put it, most succinctly: "Knowledge is
power."
Out of my own business experience, for instance, I can cite at
least two broad categories of people who might well be
hurting-right now-as a result of what they don't know.
School teachers and the self-employed. iNot all of them, of
course-but a good many of them. Those who come under the
provisions of - but who aren't familiar with - recent legislation
that provides them with very significant tax advantages. How
can you check into this? Very simple. Contact me at 3700
Chapel Hill Blvd. Or call me at 942-3200. I'll be glad to help.
