To the Editor:
AS was walking past Steele dormi
tory today, workmen were digging up
the large Sweet Breath of Spring shrub
at the northwest corner Of the building
and putting in its place some ever
green. In answer to my question, Was
the shrub diseased? 7, the foreman said
no, but it was so large that it hid the
view from the corner window and that
no, it would do no good to prune it be-
cause it was so old anyway | remem-
bered that last year the Sweet Breath
of Spring had been dug up from around
Bingham Hall and laurel substituted in
its place-all part of the apparent plan
to ''formalize" the grounds Of the cam
pus.
| thought Of the late DR.. William
Chambers Coker eminent Botanist, and
for years Chairman Of the University
Buildings and Grounds Committee, and
of how he had so carefully planned and
supervised the campus planting
Yes, those Sweet Breaths of Spring
shrubs ARE old and they have been
there long time and they are not in
themselves particularly handsome
shrub compared to the formal ever
green. Their chief glory comes from the
wonderful fragrance when they bloom
in the winter along with the Pyrus
Japonica and the winter Jasmine. 1t
is something people enjoy and look for
ward to year after year. Things like
this are as much part of Chapel Hill as
is the Old Well (and now to my mind
much more so since the Exterior Dec
orator got hold of it, For those who
remember Chapel Hill as the quaint,
lovely, informal village with all its nat
ural charm, it is sad to see the town
fast becoming like its thousands or so
neighbors in the United States.
One would not wish to be thought
sentimental, nor to be opposed to change
which goes with progress. But in this
case, why not do all possible to preserve
the individuality of Chapel Hill by
keeping the natural setting that means
so much to those who know and love
the University?
Sincerely,

Now and Then

Have you ever seen the like Of kill
ing by youngsters and teen-agers as
has been in the papers lately?
One young college student murdered
his family of three in an attempt to
make it look as if they were robbed in
order that he might get his fathers
farm to buy sports automobiles An
other school boy killed his parents for
no apparent reason at all. And not long
ago young Junior high school boy
killed himself, leaving note saying
that he did so because his parents
wouldn't let him go to a basketball
game.
Almost every day it's the same.
You can hardly pick up a paper that
doesn't include an account of a mur-
der or some other heinous crime being
committed by youth, or even a child.
Now, in no way can youth be blamed
for this. Quite often you hear someone
say: What's the matter with today's
youth? Why do they do such crazy
things? They have every advantage,
yet it seems that the more you do for
them the more criminal things they
do"
But, of course, the actions of chill
dren are the actions they believe will
cause older people to pay them some
attention. And whether or not they do
criminal things in order to get this
attention depends on whether they have
been disciplined enough to realize the
The Chapel Hill weekly., 1958-12-08

consequences of such an act.
But, we say, children today have al
most every thing they could ask for
They all go to school, have an educa-
ton given them; they have playground
facilities, and athletic equipment, they
have radio, television, movies; they
have Libraries, laboratories; they al
most all of them have automobiles and
are taught to drive along with their
regular high school courses.
And yet, the number of atrocities
committed by children increase by the
year.
Is it, you might well ask, because of
all the shooting and killing that goes
on in the movies and television and in
the magazines? And what about all
those pornographic magazines and wild
comics" that you see youths thumb
ing through at almost any newsstand?
DO these not have an adverse influence
on youth?
They do, and perhaps they should
be eliminated. Every so often you read
of youth who has done some wild act
because he saw it in the comics or in
the movies or on television. There is
little doubt but that some crime among
children and youths is motivated by
examples seen or heard in the movies,
comics, radio and television.
But is not the main reason children
commit crimes because they are bored
stiff and are not getting the attention
they believe is due them from their
parents and other grown people?
Bored, you say, with all these ad-
vantages and diversions we've just been
talking about at their command?
Yes, bored and lonely!
The main objective of every genera
tion seems to be to make it "easier on
my children than it was on me-" This,
of course, is an admirable and worth
while goal for young parents to shoot
for There is no reason why young
couples shouldn't strive to give their
most precious possessions, their chill
dren, all the advantages they can pos
sibly afford.
But should they not take care that
while giving all these advantages" to
their children they do not neglect to
give them the things most needed by
all children-attention love and a sense
of security?
Have we not, in sense, covered
over and hidden these absolutely essen
tial commodities by great deal of
extraneous and gaudy impedimenta?
Have we not said: "Son, here are all
these things that have been provided
for you. Take them, go and be happy
and let me work that ] may provide
more nice. shiny things for your"

was the added imposition of $3.50 for

This, we thought, is really stretch
ing things. What law could possibly
say you have to pay sales tax if you
buy hippopotamus in New York City?
Does the same apply to buying a dog
or cat from a pet shop? A check with
downtown pet shop resolved the
second question and inferentially the
first. The sales tax applies to pets, our
informant explained, ON the thesis that
they're luxury items.

it's for sure hippo is. What the devil
