Contest Out
To Grow Hair
Michigan Profs Research
The second annual beard
growing contest, to be sponsored
by the Carolina Journal and the
Rougues'N’ Rascals, will be
judged on December 18 at 11:30
in the Union cafeteria. Judging
will be by faculty members who
already have hair on their faces.
The winner is to be awarded an as
yet undisclosed prize. All
contestants are advised to look
the part with gold panning
equipment and maybe even a
burro. Practice in gold panning
may take place in Sugar Creek,
but you better make it quick
before they build the canal
system. Any male (Female?)
student may enter the contest,
but had better start warming up
his face for winter now. By the
way, December 18 is the last day
of classes before Christmas
holidays, so there isn’t that much
time. There is a possibility that
last year’s winner, Hal Hughes,
will be around to lend a bit of
experience to the event.

Ann Arbor, Mich.— (l.P.) —

Corp. of New York for

units.

The project’s co-directors,
Theodore M. Newcomb, professor
of sociology and associate director
of the University’s Residential
College, and Donald R. Brown,
professor of psychology and
research associate at the U-M
Center for Research on Learning
and Teaching, have already
collaborated with researchers and
officials at several universities
which have launched residential
colleges.
Action Meets
“The larger universities are
concerned about impersonality,
academic anonymity, and
alienation on the part of students,
and, in general, about the
bureaucratic effects of rapid
growth and enormous size,’’
Newcomb and Brown said. “In
common with some small colleges,
they have cauglit a glimpse of the
possibilities of educational
innovation and experimentation
that are opened up by the
creation of new and
semi-autonomous units within a
centrally administered unit.
Five schools are now
participating in the study,
althougli it is hoped that as many
as 10 others will eventually join.
The original five include Michigan,
the University of Kansas, the
State University of Florida, and
-file University of California at San
Diego and Santa Cruz.
During the first year of the
five-year program, data from the
five schools will be processed at
the U-M’s Center for Research on
Learning and Teaching. This
information concerns the number
of students sin each university’s
program, their physical
“isolation” from the rest of the
university, and the autonomy of
the administration as well as facts
about the curricula and faculty.
Raw summaries of the processed
data will be sent to the five
insfitntinns.
“We are interested not only in
information about the individual
residential colleges.” Brown said,
“but also in comparisons. In order
to understand the effects upon
the students of resideiitially based
programs, we need to know what
those programs and their
university settings are like.”
After the raw summaries have
been distributed, a more detailed
analysis of the data will begin.
This will involve comparisons
within each school and between
schools. In addition, information
will be collected from and about
students entering the colleges in
the fall of the current academic
year, 1968-69.
The next three years of the
research program. Brown said,
would be devoted to collecting
and analyzing data on the
individual students' values,
expectations, and experience
between entrance and departure
from the residential college.

Students For ACTION held
their first meeting of the year last
Wednesday at 11:30. Nearly fifty
people were in attendance. In an
election which was restricted to
old members and freshmen, the
officers listed below were elected,
president - Ben Chavis
secretary - Miss Becky Seldon
treasurer- Larry Miller
program committee chairman -
Miss Alice Folger
social committee chairman -
Miss Devera Pearson
special activities committee
chairman - Ronnie Caldwell
publicity committee chairman -
Miss Alexandra (Sam) Sloop
Members of the basketball team
spoke on school spirit and it was
decided that ACTION should not
get too “hung-up on whether or
not ...(they) look good in the
press.” Dues were defined as fifty
cents per semester and a
discussion of speakers for the
coming semester took place.
ACTION voted to set up a table in
the Union lobby to make a
petition to support the
Anti-Discrimination Act available
for signatures. Two Davidson
students then took the floor to
discuss the subject of the
California grape boycott. They
recounted their efforts to get the
grapes taken off the shelves of
several local grocery stores, and
they encouraged ACTION to
assist them in their telephoning
and in a picket line at Cotswald
Shopping Center for the following
Saturday (October 5). The
Davidson students laughingly
pointed out that it was ok to
drink wine and eat raisons. A
peace vigil at the Charlotte
Coliseum was mentioned, and the
meeting was adjourned until
October 14. (See related editorial
on page 6.)

The French Club, in
cooperation with the Society for
French American Cultural
Services and Educational Aid
(FACSEA) of New York, is this
year sponsoring a series of eight
short films, each carefully chosen
to provide a wide range of
subjects of interest to students
not only in French, but in
numerous other fields.
This is the first year that the
French Club of this university has
undertaken such a project. Similar
film series have been featured at
other area colleges in the past.
there is no admission charge,
and each presentation will be at
11:30 a.m. in the Union on the
dates indicated:
OCTOBER16- “Facade sur
1’ocean”—A tour of the western
coastal region of France around
La Rochelle.
NOVEMBER 13-“ Le Petit
Mystere de Marly”—Of interest to
engineering students, the story of
the famous Marly engine built
during the reign of Louis XIV to
carry water from the Seine to
Versailles.
The Committee on
Consitution made a
report to the General Faculty last
Wednesday, October 2, 1968. In
their report the Committee stated
that the problem of reworking the
faculty constitution had “led
it(the Committee) to the
realization that far more is involed
than the writing of a faculty
constitution.”
The Committee belives that the
school needs a University
Assembly which will be
composed, of “all but service
personnel”, with the faculty being
only one constituent of the
Assembly. The Committee also
noted that another “factor which
adds to the imperative necessity
for a document on university
governance is the participation of
students in a broader range of
university concerns and decision
making procedures.”
The Committee, appointed by
the Chancellor, is composed of
S. Mathis, Vice Chairman,’ L.G.
Owen, Secretary,’ S.L. Burson,
J.D. Mason.Jr.,’ E.D. Turner’, and
F.W. Biglow. They spent many
months doing research before
making the report to the General
Faculty. They studied numerour
Constitutions, articles, and
serveral books such as THE
ACADEMIC COMMUNITY and
THE GOVERNANCE of
COLLEGES and UNIVERSITIES’
The Committee has also met with
the Student Activity Committee.
These recommendations were
made in the form of a report, but
no concrete plans could be made
due to the continuing research of
the Committee. Accordingly, the
Committee has announced the
following open mettings in C220
on Tuesday, October 15 at 2:30.
Wednesday, October 16, at 2:00,
and Thursday, October 10 at 7:00
p.m. these meeting are to be held
in Older to discuss the feasibility
of their recommendation
Students, faculty, and other
members of the university
community are invited to attend.
