This-from archaeology (Editorial in The News and Observer) , Young Walter Dellinger, chairman of the Men’s Honor Coun cil at Chapel Hill, really stirred up the snakes or aroused the angels when he said that the archeology courses of Dr. J. P. Har-_ land appealed to “‘the lowest element in the university.” Evident ly what Dellinger, meant was that the courses attracted those who were seeking good marks in easy courses without very much work. The young man’s remarks, made in connection with some dis closure of cheating in the professor's classes, however,' . have brought a roar of protest. Former Chancellor Robert B. House not only defended as excellent Dr. Harland’s course in the arch eology of the Bible. Also he lit into Dellinger as "a very unin formed young man." Joining Dr. House in the defense and adding beauty to debate was Mrs. Kay Kyser, the former “gorgeous Georgia Carroll” and Zeigfield Follies star. Whatever the facts may be the argument is good. It does seem a little odd that the cheating should have been disclosed in courses said to be easy rather than some known to be hard. Al so the debate emphasizes the fact that easy courses may some time be the most valuable ones. The writer of this editorial long ago took Rural Economics because Dr. Samuel Huntington (“Hon ey”) Hobbs Jr. was noted for his charity in grading. But across the years that course has remained for him one of the most val uable he took at Carolina. * * . ’ The tough professor is by no means always the best teacher. His grudging grades may indicate stodginess not standards, and a kind of academic sadism rather than a desire to share the rich, good world of learning. Sometimes courses are “easy” because the teacher is interesting. That should be no crime. After more than 35 years of contented classes at Chapel Hill this argument, will not hurt Dr. Harland. He does not need the clamor of “defense. Certainly it is not necessary to violently chas tise young Dellinger for his youth in order to protect the vener able professor. It is good sometimes to get out of archeology in to lively argument and, right or wrong, young certainly, misin formed maybe, Walter Dellinger has accomplished that for Chap el HiR. 1 -- College tests to be offered by draft board Applications for .the Selective Service College Qualification Test to be given on April 18 are '* now .available to college students at the Selective Service local boards throughout North Caro lina, according to C.

'Surprised to see Chapel Hill behind Bogota, Chile . . . Fluoridation held as nutritive ... H - - - , ~ ■ . ' ' ' as iodized salt/niacin in bread The enriching of water sup plies with fluoride to prevent tooth decay is just as sound and important a nutritive process as the enriching of bread with Nia cin or the enriching of salt with iodine, a Harvard nutrition ex pert told an audience at the Uni versity School of Public Health here last week. Dr. Frederick J. Stare, profes sor and chairman, Department of Nutrition, Harvard University School of Public Health, said that “fluoride is recognized as an essential mineral nutrient— needed for the development of tough tooth enamei to fight de cay.” Used in suburban commu nities, it has reduced tooth de cay among children by as much as 60 per cent and it continues to act beneficially through adulthood, he said. Describing a program in Latin America with which he is asso ciated and noting that Chapel Hill was still in the middle of a fight about fluoridation, he said “I am surprised to see that Chapel Hill is behind Bogota, Chile,” where fluoride was re cently introduced into the public water suply. Dr. Stare said that four-fifths of the world suffer from some sort of malnutrition, either as a result of the over-indulgence practiced in “over-developed” countries like our own, or as a result of basic deficiencies in diet in the under-developed areas of the world. “This has to be the concern of all of us,” he said. “The evidence before us of sudden death, as from heart dis ease in our own over-developed land, and slow death, as from protein lack in those that are under-developed, should show us that the relations between nu trition and health present acute problms.” DEWAR’S White Label SCOTCH WHISKY BLENDED AT «8.8 PROOf*^ iCHENLEY IMPORT CO..

There are differences. 'J" * ; „ A Chevrolet truck welcomes comparison. Look at the little things on it—latches, hinges, stitching in the upholstery.

The lower side panels are double-walled; you might dent the inside but it won’t show through. Chevrolet designs suspension systems to fit your need. The light-duty type is strong on comfort. Another kind for heavier trucks stiffens up as you increase your load and vice versa. Make sense?
