BILL PROUTY

Now that the 1868 General AS
sembly has taken in and has re-
covered from the dazzling effects
of the grand opening in its re-
splendent new White Castle, the
lawmakers will soon be wrestling
with such problems as the bud
get. Senate redistricting, court re-
forms, whether to or not to con-
tinue compulsory motor vehicle
insurance. election law changes,
how to keep our Outer Banks on
top of the Atlantic Ocean. how
best to implement the single-uni-
verSity concept, so urgently
sought by the Consolidated Uni
versity trustees. etc.
And they'll probably end up
around the last of May or early
in June having in one way or an
other disposed of such problems,
though if they redistrict the Sen
ate, here's one Tar Heel that'll
be mighty surprised, Senators
Roman, North Carolina or Unit
ed States being notoriously clan
nish folk. My bet is that it'll
take another U. S. Supreme Court
decision like in Tennessee to car
ry out the mandates of our own
State Constitution.
But all in all, it looks like a
rather quiet, routine, maybe even
boring session which will prob
able write no startling laws.
If this is the case, and the Leg
islatrre renames N. C. State Col
lege, North Carolina State, the
University of North Carolina at
Raleigh, as suggested apparent
ly with a straight face) by the
trustees, then despite any and
all constructive legislation pass
ed, this session may 60 down in
history best-remembered as the
long-winded term.
Have you ever heard of such
a name for an institution of high
er learning? Sounds like there's
at least two schools involved,
doesn't it? But the State folks
wanted "State" in the title, and
the trustees insisted on "Univer-
sity," so the trustees compro-
missed by keeping one Estate"
and throwing in, not one, but
two North Carolinas." Just for
that, the trustees should be made
to repeat the whole name to the
sergeant-at-arms every time they
enter a meeting on the Raleigh
campus.
Our best hope, perhaps, is that
the Legislature doesn't get car
ried away with the thing and
and come up instead with some
such handle as: "North Caro-
lima State, the University of North
Carolina at Raleigh, Plus Some
Things That Used to be Exclu.

why you keep critici2ing him for
doing just that.

when periodical statements of
the revenue from liquor stores
are published, prohibitioniSts cite
the figures as evidence that by
legalizing the sale of liquor the
state is encouraging the drink
habit and thereby debauching the
people. They ignore what many
men and women who do not have
extreme views on either the dry
side or the wet side believe to
be a fact: that liquor is not con-

Revisiting an alma mater after
a 19-year absence is a pleasT-
able experience indeed and our
recent return to Chapel Hill, the
lovely site of the University H
North Carolina, was just that.
The familiar landmarks, sprink-
led almost evenly with the new
edifices, provided a blending of
yesterday and today which made
every walking moment an event.
Perhaps most revealing of the
changes which have swept the
campus was found in our favor
ite haunt of two decades ago
the journalism department. In
our day, some 80 typeWriters in
a room 30-typewriters wide and
an office for the three-member
faculty staff was the scope of our
physical plant and the entire
state Of North Carolina our lab
Oratory.
Today's home for the journal
ism department is Howell Hall,
a renovated building with many
rooms, hundreds of new typewrit-
ers, bulletin boards, bins for ex-
change newspapers. an auditori-
um for conferences and lecture,
darkroomS for photography .
Although many years had drift
ed by since we had spent our
four years as a northerner from
New York City no less) in a true
southern college, nostalgia was
instantaneous and the love for
the University and for the journ-

the morning and that Saturday
afternoon We spent at Kenan Sta
dunn, cut generously from pure
forest, joyously watching UNC's
near-upset of our traditional rival,
Duke University.
But what We found of great
significance came as a byproduct
of the visit to Alma Mater. From
the 11O0-mile roundtrip came the
shattering realization that the
youngsters of today who enroll
from the New York area in a
school like 'the University of
North Carolina will not receive
a full education. That became
increasingly clear during the 1912
hours of driving time on an un-
ending ribbon of highways and
thruwayS and turnpikes.
The collegians of today, shut
ling between NYC and UNC on
holidays, will be committing in a
vacuum. Part of our education
was forged from the many trips
back and forth, Chapel Hill to
New York City. That is no long
er possible. On our recent trip.

haywood and the short stretch

the Garden State Parkway, we
passed through only two small
towns-Bowling Green. Maryland,

city, not another town, and yet
we drove in five states.

day was an adventure-getting

Press Tieup

White House Press Secretary
Pierre Salinger reported to
President Kennedy today on
what he described as the very
difficult situation" he found in
discussions with representa-
tives of newspaper publishers
and striking printers in New
York City yesterday.
Mr.. Salinger refused to make
any predictions about prospects
for settlement Of the 4S-day-
old strike that has shut down
nine New York newspapers.
He said that the President
is interested in seeing an end
to the strike.
One thing that comes
through very clearly" after his
talks in New York yesterday.
Mr.. Salinger said, is the "intri-
cate nature Of modern-day
newspaper economies"
Sees Study as Helpful
He said he still feels that a
study by an impartial board of
the economics Of the news
paper business, such as he sug-
gested In q recent speech at
Philadelphia, might help pre-
vent other serious newspaper
strikes around the country"
Asked II 1t was his idea that
such a board would set up
standards Of productivity in
the newspaper industry, Mr..
Salinger said that he did not
want to try to set up any guide
lines. but simply felt that any
recommendations coming out
Of the proposed study could
be useful"
Notes Fear of Attenuation
He said he is convinced that
"a lot of this trouble Is rooted
in the fear Of autonation-the
loss of Jobs"
He said he told the President
that intensive mediation" is
continuing in New York with
officials Of the Federal Media
ton Service meeting with union
and publisher representatives
today.
Mr.. Salinger said he has no
present plans to return to New
York. But he said Secretary

Joseph K. Taussig, jr., who is
a business consultant in WASH

lar officers under penalty of
losing their pensions II the sale
takes place within three years
after retirement.
Mr.. Taussig, in an action flee
in District Court last week, alsC
asserted that he has been sub
ject to discrimination because
retired reserve officers are per-
mitted to work for firms en-
gagged in military contracts
while retired regular officers
are denied this employment.
Claiming that the Congress
lacked jurisdiction to discrimi-
nate between retired officers
and civilians. Mr.. Taussig also
said that the law is so vague as
