„ is home, id there isn’t a big shot left in town.’ IJ irrfiR Sitterson's First Round The oshtpus pornogfaphers and their elders in aborted editorial chairs ^across the state liav^ dulled their knives in their first atteinpt to scalp University Chancellor Carlyle Sitterson of Chapel Hill. Sitterson accepted the recommenda tion of his.tShglish faculty to reassign a graduate student who was using a freshman English 'class to exercise his own impoteg£¥v^tth vicarious assign ments in porH$y|jp3^: The editorhdfWHHit dealers immediate ly dragged out their “censorship” and “Academic Freedom” adjectives and be gan laying a ty-four of thP f,'; Thus inflamed, twen brnographer’s fellow in structbrsthreatened to walk out of the university.

The English language is at one and the same time the most beautitul and the most vulgar; being a combination of so many tongues it has inherited both the beauty and the ugliness of its ances tral languages. To make one final point: The much talked about, “To A Coy Mistress”, which is supposed to be the pornographic straw that broke the academic camel’s back, proves conclusively that such sub jects as seduction can be written about without use of the kind of words one generally associates with latrine walls. The fact that this instructor wallowed in the filth of four-letter shock treat ment of his young charges proves he is not,, mature enough tQ be a university ,er. It is to-be hoped- that this ■» - iSbW foul nest for the retdfof h»s iijfetandeft tjhe loose fccense. of ^‘freedom of the prfess”, Which '6uf‘ senior pornographers on the United States Supreme Court have stretched to cover unspeakable trash. the Frustrated Liberal * .

At the individual J^vel we see this when the drunK sOme bleeding heart has plucked out of the gutter suddenly deserts “alLtbrt is being done for him” and windswwnhdhf gutter again. When tSe’lMnSfmas cheer for an aged bum is pawned for a-bottle of cheap booze the realist, shrugs but the “liberal” weeps, because he cannot accept the world as it is, ,«s£f§ple as they are and constantly je§£gf{B make the worid and its people a better place by Ms own bluntly the sweet promise, of racial in tegration. North Carolines Floyd Mc Kissick, Atlanta’s Stokejy Carmichael and New York’s Junes Baldwin all spit literally on the white “liberals” who have patronized the negro with promises while sending their own children to ter rible segregated private schools. Harold Howe, federal commissar of education, is one such “li*'"°1” whose child is ih a $2! vate school, while he is the negro to his own p ig to raise levels by ibout 20 weeks of crUriinal. court ;ar to more than 40 week!, per Despite this wide variation in t&d an solicitors are paid the salary: $11,000 per year ami a first item on the agenda-for court rement ought to be spreading the rrial workload more equitably, second item ou^it to be the elim i of a practice that seems to be tg of hiring extremely expensive private prosecution in cases of special importance. Last month the council of state ap proved payment of more than $11,000 to a Raleigh lawyer who had been hired to help prosecute a Cumberland Coun ty fraud case. Now this same man has been hired to help prosecute hail in surance fraud cases in Lenoir County. There is something both insulting and wrong for the State of North Carolina to pay one lawyer as much for prosecuting one case as it pays another lawyer for prosecuting thousands of cases in a year. We cannot believe that there is that much difference in the ability of law yers. as mucn as we nesuaie to suggest it, the federal system does seem much bet ter. A central pool of prosecuting law yers exists in each federal court dis trict, with the number depending upon the workload in a given district There are men on these federal prosecution staffs who specialize in the trial of certain types of cases, and the chief prosecution officer in a district may assign additional men if the importance and complexity of the case warrant. In our state system (me man is elected to prosecute the criminal docket in all the counties of his district. The smallest to the largest cases all fall in his lap. He has to be a legal jack-of-all-trades, and cannot possibly specialize; and cer tainly from time to time there will come a^ time when a lawyer with special tai nts urneeded if the state is to prosecute its charges ably' ^ But this should be a part of the sjystem, and not a situation in which the courts have to go out and hire a temporary ex pert'hand. Walk In The Dark About once a year we raise our voice against the deadly mistake so many farm parents make of letting tiny child ren drive tractors on busy highways. Under the stupid North Carolina law it is permissible for anyone of any age to drive a farm tractor on even the busiest highway so lohg as he can prove he is doing farm work. The General Assembly is an accomplice to this idiocy, and it should have long ago changed the law, but it has not and it is not likely that it will. 1 v So the parent must assume with the general assembly the blame, for this dangerous practice and for the death or injury of those who may become in in accidents henuiaar of this a threat they are offering to their pro perty.^ Amy $fiOTit a,cMM to drive a tradtoron the'Hghway and he is in volved in an accident they are liable for any and all claiins that may be charged , against them as a result of the accident.' ? ;!?j v "■ So, this, final word of advice: If farm parents insist on permitting their tiny children to drive tractors on busy high ways they had better buy a king-sized erybody does not want to live as they live, worship ss'tfaey^ worship; eat as they eat. The original liberal did un derstand, and did practice the principles of individualism which granted a Thor eau his Walden Pond. Today Thoreau would be smothered with grants-in-aid from foundations that Wiptyid. want the world to “have,lTbOreau. While Thoreau did not want the world. The modern pseudo-liberal is in fact and on the record a velvet-gloved auto crat, who would pour fdl of society in "i&dwise it would be do". Now they are to tho.hps of their manicure negroes haveso dramatically re jectedbeingpoured in this mold. J2E; The electric car is a lot closer than the .major auto makers will admit. Not because they wish it that way, but be cause air pollution arojind our major cities is forcing the step. The engfaessts who have spoken all express the view that the elctric car is “years away” v# I don’t believe that for one minute, because electric golf carts have been in practical daily use for years, and the step from this, recreational conven ience to a practical passenger vehicle is very short. Also every auto maker is well aware of the fact that the , com pany who gets there “fustest” with a practical electric car is going to get the “mostest” money and for a long time. Vast amounts of research are being done by every major auto maker and the governments of several countries are lending a research hand in this crucial area. As we have seen in the space race there is no practical limit to what science and engineering can do when enough brainpower and enough money are put together. iso one wno is even casuany acquaint ed with the last 10 years in space ex ploration can question the early de velopment of such a simple gadget as an electric car. ' Aside from air-pollution there are oth er pressing reasons for the electric car and truck. High on this list is the un deniable fact that petroleum reserves are not unlimited and although there is a wide variation in the estimates of how large these oil reserves are there is no disagreement on the fact that they will run out some day. The' “Lasar” may open a field' for transmission of el&dtriCal energy^ with out wires. If “lasar” can’t someother sys tem is likely to be developed, and when that barrier is crossed the problem of batteries will be over and central sources of power may be used again as they once were with street cars. The old fashioned street car and trol ley bus may not rise again from their transportation graves but there will be millions of electrically propelled motor vehicles on our Streets and highways and in much less than 10 years. One of the nation’s biggest businesses is petroleum. The electric car will not put if~out of business, but it will make major changes necessary. But if the population keeps growing the use of petroleum products in other ways may offset the loss of business in gas power cars. Coal reserves are limited too, and some day, perhaps, nearer than we think, electric power plants will all have to be either hydroelectric or atomic powered. Already on the drawing boards are sev eral fantastic projects for generation of huge amounts of hydroelectricity.
