Here are passages from Luxon - art icle : ‘‘Staff members of the larger news papers In the United .States possess varied backgrounds of education and experience. Some of the best-qualified reporters and editors are virtually self educated and have had little, if any, education on the university level; others hold degrees from liberal arts colleges with majors in a wide variety of fields; still others, and this is particularly true of the younger staff members, are graduates of professional schools of journalism.” “The most marked trend of the past twenty-five years in professional educa tion for journalism in the United States is that toward graduate study, including research. Journalism research in the first twenty-five years hf the twentieth century had been done chiefly by social scientists in disciplines other than journalism, but with the growth of graduate work and the interrelation of teaching and research on the profession- al arid graduate level, teachers f joura * -rr. and student* working ui»er their dir’-ction have produced a repectable body of knowledge and have attributed ir. ne small degree * the advancement of learning m the field.” * “Recently there has beer anoticeap.e trend t wires tne a; :• .ntme.t : prac titioners rather than scholar r scien tists to position* i .rf.uefce and re sponsibihtv :r. ~cr * of jourr.a.ism.

It was an interesting arid informative half hour for me, this “Perspective” as it’s called.

It was the subject of Watts Hill’s talk at last week’s meeting of the Fac ulty Club. 1 was impressed by the dear ness with which he explained all the details of this remarkable enterprise and by his good judgment in illustrat ing his talk with large-scale maps on which sections of the Triangle were marked off in colors. I am glad that Mr. Hill is enlighten ing other gatherings in the same way. This is an important contribution to the success of the project. —L.G. ! hid just come np" from North Carolina, Under her white feath er bead-bugging cap and some he* recognizable through a *Jx er. curtain of perfume, was a string and interesting face wheh if not beautiful could have passed for the next thing to it Louise Lament relates the most interesting Tallulah Bank head stories My encounter with th< fmebrand thespiar. lasted only a ‘ow minutes, during which sh* was high, but not mighty, ark even favored me with one "dshling I met M.ss Bank he.d a: about 2 ayerr. in New Ycrk. and she was fully ciothed When I met the late Faith Bacon fai dancer extraordinary, she wire only a g-string under her mni coat and she had the ut most difficulty m keeping her eta* closed Bunoniess it was When interviewing Helen Hayes too many years ago I vas surprised at her dimunut.v etess and delighted with her uc.o'us def.mtioc of acting, m udin.g her description of the •*o prmc pa! technique* employ 'd by actors in producing s’age t.rars In my salad days long ore Kraft got a hold of an lal.an dressing rec.pe I was remaps •ne only New York C.ty our.gr.er who sought autographs -xclusively of Sr.aiiespearean performer s I was honest per - aps "x a fau.t .r, obtam/.g s.g -atures only of those actors -note performances I had seen and enjoyed Maurice Evans.

The series promis es to be extremely interesting. During this whole time I hadn’t even gone to the site fieri to construct one of those stomach-stretching sandwiches I usually -lap together during commerci al* in the regular shows (WUNC-TV doesn't ha.e any commercials!). But I did manage to throw together a mor sel before the r.ext show. This proved to be Music Appreciation, a course which is given over the air for college credit. And thi- v.a- a particularly interest ing lecture for me because it took up eacn instrument in the orchestra and discussed it and included a passage from an orchestration which showed the instrument to its best advantage. And there I’d had the beginnings of a g'Hid practical education by viewing two hours on only one night. All through . tne school-year WUNC-TV sends out these educational and informative pro gram-. For instance, this week’s pro gram will include, in addition to Thurs day’s schedule, Music Appreciation and Elementary Russian on Monday; Today On the Farm, I’iano by TV, Solid Geometry and Chemistry, Tuesday; Science and Nature, Reading, Modem Teacher Methods, Career Opportuni ties, Solid Geometry, Music for Young People, Music Appreciation and Elemen tary Russian, Wednesday; and Contro versy, Do You Know?, Sewing and Notes on Music, Friday. A man could really learn something by viewing all or any part of that full and comprehensive program. And lots of people are doing just that. Tuesday’s papers carried the story that the Advisory Budget Commission had recommended nearly a quarter of a million dollars for operating expenses for WUNC-TV for the next two years. This is less than asked for, but the Com mission’s recommended cut was a far cry from the 50G slashed from the asked appropriations by the 1957 Gen eral Assembly. Educational television has had tough sledding, but it's here to stay and almost everybody,"includ ing the Advisory Budget Commission, realizes i*. The possibilities for educa tion by television are almost unlimited. It’s up to North Carolina to support this great teaching medium. pleted the "Wizard of Oz."

HJI frat house 1 Like Chapel Hill By Billy Arthur So much about young people kissing at East Carolina College has been in the papers lately that I’m impelled to get my dime's worth in print. Plus the tax. Kissing is one of the remnants of canibalism. In the beginning it was nothing more than the carnivorous impui>e to bite. Now it’s apparent that the kiss means that “I love you well enough to eat you.” In the interim kissing evolved to a mere form of salutation. There was kissing the feet of idols. Then St. Paul extended the holy kiss to the forehead, signifying ; love and brotherhood. It was a harmless thing. But as Jl times became less rigorous, the distance Ix-tween the forehead and the lips seemed to shorten, according to the anthropologists. Other students of mankind took a practical approach to the subject, and by experience found a more intelligent reason for kissing. It fascinated them. It interested them. It continues interesting to me. The historians, for instance, those who recorded the. story of Rachel and Jacob and sheep watering, neglected matters of real importance to the human race by not recording when the kiss sensibly changed from a per functory act to something more vital and worthwhile. To begin with, then, at the beginning. What is a kiss? Is it a necessity or a luxury? Is it beneficial or harmful? Why in history has it received so little atten tion when it deserved so much? Custom plays a large part in answering these ques tions. Even the marriage service does not obligate one to kiss the other, but nobody questions the implied right to practice it at suitable moments. We may assume, too, that in a large majority of the cases, the practice has not been neglected during courtship. But whether in either case it is to be beneficial or harmful depends on whether a nice balance is maintained between the spirit ual gain and the physical injury. Kissing never received much attention from the scholars. Maybe thinking and kissing don’t go well to gether. If true, it wouldn’t take me long to choose between them. Or, maybe the scholars closed their eye's to kissing. That’s very essential. Moralists look upon a kiss as the token of the most intimate communication of love and, therefore, permit ted only in the marital state. To the naturalist, it is the bringing into juxtapsition two contrarily charged poles by which it, as an electric spark, is elicited. The antiquar ian finds kissing something handed down from the Greeks and Romans, the true meaning of which they don’t explain. Probably it is symbolic of the sun’s rays hitting the earth. Most of the theologians regard a kiss as an emble matic action by which the blending of the heavens to the earth is symbolized. The doctor looks upon a kiss 'Continued on Page 5 1 CHAPEL HILL CHAFF (Continued from Page 1) headquarters in Delhi, he directed the Rockefeller dation’s anti-hookworm campaigns in the whole <>f India. His retirement came due in 1942 when the United States was at war with Germany. Submarines were roaming the seas in quest of American vessels to des troy. The big question for Dr. Jacocks was: could he get home with all the trunks arid boxes of treasure he had collected stay in Asia? No submarines appeared in the course of the voyage across the South Atlantic and he made a safe landing in New York. The North ( arolina Board of Health drafted him into service and for a while he had an office in Raleigh. Now he is living at the Carolina Inn here and many of the things he brought with him objects of art in precious and semi-precious stones, glass and ivory and metal, a wide variety of curios, household and personal ornaments, rare maps and prints, and fine editions of books —• are on display in the Library. The bulletin I had received made it appear that "Al comar" was a sensational discovery that might lead t K the easy slaughter df hookworms throughout the world. J -aid to myself: “I’ll ask Dr. Jacocks what about this.” 1 left the bulletin at the Inn for him. When I called on him a couple of days later he had read it through. “I don’t know just what’s in the drug,” he said. “The drug manufacturers have their secret formulas, for which, of course, they make big claims. This ‘Alcomar’ may or may not be worth something.” This non-committal statement did not disappoint me. I did not really care whether ‘Alcomar’ was any good or not. But I was grateful to it for providing me an incen tive for a call on a friend whom I do not see often enough. Bill Jacocks and I were students here at the same time about sixty years ago and saw a lot of one another because we played on the football team together. It is remarkable, how vigorous and alert he is. You could never believe he is 81 years old unless there was documentary evidence of it in the Alumni Directory and Who’s Who in America. The way he moves about, the way he talks, his responses in general, almost persuade you that he could play football today if he were inclined to. His contemporaries admire him and are jealous of his youthfulness. ||^ SERVE YOURSELF — EVERY SUNDAY BUFFET 5:3 °- 7:3 ° p -M- At The RANCH HOUSE HOME OF CHOICE HICKORY-SMOKED CHARCOAL BROILED STEAKS Thursday, February 12, 1959
