Life In America Editor: The Daily Tar Heel is not the only newspaper in the nation, though it may have the dubious of being the only newspaper which elects (and recalls) its editor. This is a round about way of saying that I have just read the Sunday edition of the Montgomery, Ala. Advertiser which contain several items that may be of interest to Carolina students The" Advertiser's lead story this Sunday war, an account of Auburn's 40-0 victory over the University of Alabama.

The victory provided Auburn with its first undefeated season in 44 years, and it insured the Plainsmen of a high national ranking when the final polls are released this week. Buried jni an adjoining column on the front pae of this Sunday's Advertiser was a trivial story effect that the mechanical and electrical engineering departments at Auburn had just had their accreditation "temporarily withdrawn." This occurred for two reasons: first, the teaching load in these departments was deemed "excessive;" and second, faculty salaries were too low. The accrediting agency noted that these weaknesses have existed since 1949 and have changed, since then, "for the worse." By a remarkable coincidence, 1949 is the approximate beginning point for Auburn's rise to football greatness. Now there will be some pundits uncouth enough to blame Auburn's academic troubles on its football coach, Ralph "Shu" Jordan. This is not only unfair to Shug (an estimable gentleman), but it completely misses the point.

In capturing the nation al championship, or something very close to Coach Jordan has achieved precisely what he was hired for. The many thousands of Auburn fans. some of whom have actually attended the schoii. couldn't care less about the status of the mechanic; and electrical engineering departments; the only concern of thees "fans" is to be able to yell WAR GODDAM EAGLE in every bar in the state, on every Saturday of every autumn. Here is where th? lies, and thus we return to the society which surrounds and nurtures (poisons the American educational system.

This brings us to a third story on the front page of Sunday's Advertiser. Headlined, "Two Injured In Stampede for Sputniks," the story deal? with what happened when the downtown merchant? of Montgomery showered redeemable premium? out of the sky in ping-pong balls.

Atfer all, these are not state universities and colleges.

These are schools maintained by a religious denomination and dedicated to instruct youth in the beliefs of the religious denominations. If tliey wished to teach dancing the authorities could do better by declaring their school public and turning it over to the state for use in the public school system. If pupils at a religious school prefer dancing then they should seek to leave the school and matriculate at a state institution of higher learning. There they would find more student freedom and teacher freedom as well. This follows from definition of the two kinds of schools.

One should expect to sacrifice certain things by attending such a school. State institutions, however, have been established without special regard Cor any particular belief and therefore are more liberal in attitude; more progressive. The writer is strongly reminded of a cartoon showing a small boy-watching an outer-space TV show. The Martians had just captured an American space pilot. The boy's fa titer put his paper down finally, and told the boy: "Well, why can't they take him prisoner? It's their planet, isn't it?" IIENUY W.

It Wits bad enough when the Pope and the Cardinal told their lunch members they couldn't sir "Baby Doll" and read Forever Now tlu- Shri ills have become censors of literature. The intention i.s well-meaning, but the results may be disastrous. When is the line drawn? Who decides just what is obscene? Which is worse? A nice, spicy, magazine like Playboy, or a scandal sheet like Confidential? Which hurts more people? YeS Confidential still smiles at us from the stands. The sheriffs erlooked that one.

Americans are an individual lot. T. ey don't like to be told what to icad antl what kind of pictures to look at and what to do for entertainment Bootlegging flourished under Ihe eighteenth amendment. I think I will set up a little organization which carries on the bootlegging of sheriff-suppressed periodicals. Who knows?

We -can't even support a "Ugly Club." Jim Tatum is firmly entrenched at the football helm, antl a recall wouldn't even work the second time. We are fast running out of ideas. But take Wake Forest, now that's the school with ideas and a flair for the dramatic.

Carolina is a distant third with its recall, well behind Wake and Meredith and their dancing controversy. What could be more dramatic than burning in effigy the most prominent member of the Baptist Convention, dancing in the streets, and last but not least, staging a mass walkout. This is the real thing the epitome of perfection in controversy We understand that the National Council of the American Association of Univeisilios and Colleges is going to rate all schools on the basis of salaries paid to the teachers. The purpose of all this is to give the administrators who are concerned with pay standards sc. me idea of where their particular schools rank.

It is likely that they will be grouped as etc. This may prove embarrassing to some people in this area because there are only 2(i letters in the alphabet, or at least that was the last official count. The council will either have to use another alphabet, invent another letter, or double them up as is done in Kenan Stadium. Regardless of which way they choose to do it. someone's face will be red.

All right, so the society is insane and the educational system is a joke Leadership is then the answer: decisive, vigorous Leadership. But. regrets bly. Leadership, like the educational system, is better than the society from which it springs. This point, too.

is illustrated by Sunday's Advertiser, only now we have to move to the trenchant edi torial page under the direction of Grover Item: Alabama's Highway Director, Heras L. Nelson, is charged with misspending state funds." This is small potatoes compared with recent highway scandals in Pennsylvania and Indiana, but you have to remember that Alabama is one of the poorer "sovereign" states. Considerir.j this handicap. Brother Herman did right well Item: "The entire insurance industry in Alabama is under suspicion today. During the past 18 months at least tight Alabama companies hae 2 broke, and in so doing they have left counties policyholders holding the bag.

Sharing the blame with the industry is the State Insurance Department. The people expect this department to pro tect them from the shaky, fly-by-night firms are created for but one purpose to fleece the ignorant public." Item: "Right this minute some ot the 'solid' and influential people in Alabama are using around wiggling their antennae like rnache on the linoleum to determine which candidate f. governor is likely to win so that they can put up a wad for his campaign and get it back later 20 link out of your tax money." It could be argued that this was neither a typical week for Alabama, nor can the Alabama pattern (if such exists) be extrapolated to the national scene. It could be argued that way. but not in letter.

To the contrary, I argue that this analysis of Sunday's Advertiser highlights three facets of what is reverently called "The mer.c-..r. Way of Life." 1. The American political structure, at all level? and in virtually all places, is so rife with interest corruption that stealing, usually in a clcu-r variety of -legal" ways, has come to" be the norm. 2. The American educational svstcm.

l.nk.::, funds, recognition and support, has been subim by a torrent of spectacular sideshows, ol King Football is only one among many. 3. The American citizenry, fired by a maniacal materialism, will not hesitate to" run do." little children in its frantic pursuit of premi gimmicks. All we need now is for our ailing 1: v-l dent to make another unctous speech aboutAnM. ca "spiritual strength." Taken together, what do these three -points mean? Well, if you're Bill Graham, vou pre diet a Divine Judgement.
