By Jo Farris Slim, lovely dark-haired Fran Bleight buzzes busily about doing the numerous tasks that confront the house president of Caro lina's oldest women's dorms, Spencer. This Richmond, Virginia, lassie asserts vigorously that, contrary to the general opinion, being house president isn't just a bed of roses, unless you count the thorns too. "It's something that takes hard work, and a Int. of it," she exclaimed when told that many laymen think it's just a position of honor. If it takes In dubious Battle by Jack Dube and Bud Imbrey 'V FOR THIS ISSUE: JACK LACKEY BILL WOESTENDIEK FRED JACOBSON Night Editor ...Night Sports Editor Assistant Editor STUDENT-FACULTY GOVERNMENT Tonight an amendment to the constitution of the student legislature will be brought out on the floor. The amendment's purpose is to allow 3 faculty representatives to sit on the stu dent legislature and have the full privilege of other represen tatives. A few of our legislators may naively oppose this bill on grounds of faculty control, but we think that there will be enough legislators who see in this amendment (if accepted by the faculty) a triumph for democracy and self-government at Carolina. Several faculty members have approved of a student-faculty governing body, and if a majority of the faculty will vote to send the 3 representatives, student government here will begin a new era of greater significance. ' We think that the legislature should pass this amendment to see what action the faculty will take.' Recognition of student government will be thrust upon the faculty in a very real man ner. If they refuse, we will know that student independence is not a certain thing; if they accept, we will have obtained some thing which we have wanted for many years. The Daily Tar Heel urges the student legislature to pass the amendment. No harm can be done, because the constitution can be re-amended, if the experiment does not work. If the ex periment does work, the potential advantages are tremendous. With the Constitution of the Student Body coming up for ratifi cation, a clause for faculty representation in the new legisla ture might be included in the new constitution provided that the present legislature is willing to give the plan a chance. The reasons for such an amendment can be better explained before the legislature tonight than in an editorial now, and we know that capable men are prepared to give the reasons to night. Incidentally, any. student will profit from a visit to the legis lature tonight, particularly if he has never attended before. The place is Gerrard Hall and the time is 8 o'clocki R. M. GIVE THOSE PHANTOMS A WELCOME hard work to be a good house president, then Fran must put a lot into it, for she is a "cracker- jack." More than one high honor has come to Frances, for in addition to being Vice-President of WGA she was tapped for Valkyries in her Junior year, which shows she is still carrying on her record at Westhampton College, women's division of the University of Richmond. While there she was Secretary of Student Govern ment and Vice-President of the Freshman Class. We suspect Fran is a senti mentalist at heart, for she "goes for" sentimental records such as "It Might As Well Be Spring" and "The Man I Love." Like many other Glen Miller fans, she declares no one else can take his place, but T. Dorsey places well. As you would expect her favorite color is blue light Carolina blue. By far her favorite pastime is dancing. "I'd rafher dance than eat when I'm hungry." If you could trip the light fantastic like that Bleight girl, you'd dance too. She is good. But def ! Undercover ,work discloses that Fran is quite prompt and expects others to be so too. In fact, she dislikes having to wait for people. She is also very well organized, which is a trait more officials and, simple Jane Does too should copy. So if you need reorganization, just call on our obliging Frances and you'll soon be on the right way. The gal's tact, subtlety and very pleasing personality help her over the stumbling blocks that waylay many. Her knack of understanding isn't exactly a mark on the red side of the ledger either. rran is a uni u, a major m Sociology, fond of symphonies, constantly has food in her room, and is very obliging about help ing relieve those mid-evening hunger pains, and is as "blind as a bat. bhe confesses this ast item constantly gets her in to trouble, for she can't see who anyone is. "I hope people don't think I'm unfriendly. Tm cer- ainly not. I just can't tell a post from a person two feet away." is and earings are her pet kinds of decoration, but she pre fers the simpler kinds. She real ly has no favorite sport, for she declares she is most unathletic. If you don't know Fran Bleight and you probably do you have missed something. She's just tops ! It Could Happen To You The Trials and Tribulations Suffered at Registration Vacation Daze: Mainly be cause of the basketball game but also .because we live there, we desperately started off to lose a week-end. The Waldorf was fill ed up by the overflow of NC vet erans who were turned down for dorm-rooms so we were forced to stay with our family all good people. Among the other things they have in New York is good food. -We also noted a startling plethora of bottles containing beer and a disquieting lack of Private Stock (not a soldier in the U. S. Army). Unlike the Alpha Beta Chi House in Dur ham, it seems that the people up there believe that corn is for eating. We woke up Saturday morning just in time to see the big game. Are we hoarse from yelling?? No, we're Duke & Im brey from the Tar Heel. Our tongue thinks our throat is cut. Besides, we think this whisper gives us that Boyer effect. We had a pleasant trip back who wants to live forever anyway. co Postmaster: We had a dormwarming, and are now Ruf- fin it. Come up and see us, but bring your own oxygen mask. Still the fourth floor has its ad vantages. The dulcet tones of the Rotacees' Harry James more easily penetrates the rarified atmosphere. Navy tradition lin gers in the Upper Quad.

Any civilian caught with his socks down would be a cook ed goose as he looked in vain for the ladder to the third deck just wind'ard o' the fo'c'stle. Kissoff: 0. K. so it's all about us. Stick around next week it may be about you. Please, if you see us, make like a funny. JlettebL Inside Story To the Editor: There is hardly any subject which needs to be brought to the attention of the campus more than the student-faculty relation ship. It is true that our faculty is greatly underpaid for the work they do. I realize this more than most, because for the past year and a half I have been an under graduate assistant in one of the departments and have had am ple opportunity to watch the pro fessors burn the mid-night oil. The greater majority of the stu dents think that all the profes sors do any time they work ex- surplus property (a fifty calibre optionally hard is to devise new that got left in an old G.I. shoe methods of grading and write when we were discharged) as UP difficult quizzes that they hope ennn as Tnr ofiTcnf lam(.lnfiii.n nO One Will TiaSS.

Tne time spent writ- lasted even longer than the extra-long ten-day period scheduled as a pleasant substitute, to be m-up courses, quizzes, outlines, before exams. But an estimated 85 per cent (according to Kilroy, employed INSIDE the Rotacee and lab manuals is not little, but who was there too) registered when they were supposed to and dorms. After all, life in the dorm rn addition to that a very great here's the way they did it. First the student planning to . , TT , t hours of his departmental ad viser. "H'mm twelve to one. Well, if I go at eleven, every body else will think he has a class, and the office won't be thronged with other students." So he went at eleven and waited till twelve, wThen the professor came in from his eleven o'clock class and started registering a coed who had walked in at 11 :59. r Our student went .back that afternoon and got his green receive tourists. What fun that was ! It took only a short time to find out that all the courses you had registered for were closed and to trot back over to your faculty adviser's office. By the third or fourth visit to Memorial Hall you had managed to find enough courses that weren't filled to be allowed to take your class tickets upstairs.
