THE DAILY TAR HEEL SATURDAY, JUNE 15, 1946- PAGE TWO To The New Students- The vast turnover in the number of new students that comes with every summer session at the University of North Caro lina is even greater than usual this summer with many new faces appearing on the local campus. Along with the many new faces are those of former Carolina students, just now returning to the campus they left to enter the armed forces of the United States. To those former Tar Heels of pre-war Carolina we say, "Welcome back!" Men of their calibre have a rightful place at this rapidly-expanding Univer sity and can contribute greatly to its growth. - To those students who are soaking up the local atmosphere for the first time we also extend a hearty welcome. It is to these newcomers that this editorial is primarily addressed. We realize that you are strangers in the little world that is Carolina and, bearing that fact in mind, offer herein a few suggestions that so many of your predecessors have found profitable. You will find that Carolina offers many opportunities to par ticipate in extra-curricular activities. Something is usually hap pening somewhere on the campus to appeal to every student and active participation in these events is one of the surest ways to make your life at Carolina, whether it be four months or four years, successful. Tradition, spirit, honesty, friendliness, and efficient student government are all vital factors in the makeup of the Uni versity and you will find quickly that all of these factors are easily apparent and acceptable onthe Hill. The University of North Carolina is noted for its liberality. This you will also find to be true, but moral self-responsibility has consistently made this liberality a recognized privilege that must not be overworked. Occasions have arisen in the past to challenge the worthiness of such liverality, but the same self responsibility among the majority of the students has proved that it does work well. IT WAS GOOD FOR CHAPEL HILL The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has a new student constitution. This constitution, according to an editorial appearing in the May 3 issue of "The Daily Tar Heel," gives the students more freedom and more control of their own affairs. It guarantees every student a fair trial before the student courts and the right to face his accuser; the student body shall have the powers of referendum, initiative, and recall, enabling them to change acts they do not like, initiate new acts, and rid themselves of incompetent officers ; every agency of student government will be consistently coordinated under written law so there will be no overlapping of authority; adherence to the Honor Code and Campus Code will be required, and student courts will be set up to insure enforcement. In answer to the objections advanced by the opposition, and in particular to the one stating that the dean of women was re puted to be opposed to the constitution, the "Tar Heel" went on to say that "the student constitution is none of the business of the deans or administration, and that regardless of what some pro gressive faculty members might say to the contrary, the ad ministration has always been reactionary in granting additional student control of student affairs. We must fight for the power which we have, and we can have just as much as we can force fully acquire." It was also argued that the proposed constitution would in jure the Honor System. The editorial, in reply to this argu ment, continued: "In trials before the highest student court, the accused will have the right to face the accuser ... It is bet ter that ten guilty students go free than that one innocent stu den be expelled from school. In the past, we have foolishly as sumed that justice can be done by student politicians locked in executive session behind closed doors." It was not argued by the proponents of the constitution on the Chapel Hill campus that it would solve the many problems of student government ; however, it was argued that it guaranteed a framework upon which the student body will have the optimum opportunity to base its decision and legislation. All good con stitutions can be amended ! It should be the aim of all college campuses, if they propose to be ever progressive and liberal, to secure a student government which will truly provide for student freedom and student con trol of their own affairs. The student body at Chapel Hill should be commended for its recent action. Other universities and colleges less fortunate should take note of Carolina's vic tory. The Florida Flambeau.

E . : ; Minnesota Opens Food-Saving Drive For Ill-Fed Nations Minneapolis (CNS) A student initiated Food for Freedom tag-selling campaign is underway at the Univer sity of Minnesota, Minneapolis, with a goal of $25,000 set most of the funds to be given to Cooperative for Ameri can Remittances to Europe, according to present plans. Supplementing the student drive at the University of Minnesota, with its record enrollment of 18,000 students, is a faculty campaign, which had hard ly begun before a $500 initial contri bution was received from five pro fessors. 1 The City of Minneapolis also is pre paring to launch a money-raising ap peal to help starving peoples abroad, Mayor Hubert H. Humphrey told uni versity students May 8 at a campus wide Food for Freedom rally. Sensing the urgency of relieving starvation abroad immediately, a group of students enlisted the sup port of the Minnesota Daily, campus newspaper, for the drive and had 15, 000 "Food for Freedom" lapel tags printed. The campaign opened May 3, with first-day contributions of $1,106, reported Robert Kerner, steering com mittee member. Spurred by posters and a campus concert by the University of Minne sota's marching band, several hun dred students attended a noon-hour Food for Freedom rally in Northrop Memorial Auditorium. Headed by a steering committee of four students, every campus group is taking part in the drive. With ad ministration approval, an announce ment on behalf of the Food for Free dom drive was to be read in all uni versity classes. Above-cost proceeds of two campus-wide dances were ear marked for feeding people abroad. Why CARE was chosen to receive most of the campus donations is ex plained in an instruction sheet given to student solicitors : "UNRR A pro vides governments with food for basic rations. In our campaign we are help ing o supplement these rations. The Red Cross does only 'limited emer gency' work. CARE gives food di rectly to the people on a non-partisan basis." That other colleges and universities throughout the United States stage similar food-relief fund drives is the hope of the student committee at the University of Minnesota. The idea for a Food for Freedom drive re portedly started with a group of con- on where the shade is. For the 'he Book Ex put on a few more a, bigger room with several en is would help. . . . ! you're wondering what those I d explosions are that rocked the ampus yesterday put your mind at ease. Space is being cleared for he. housing project, which by the Way is progressing rapidly and should be ready for occupancy in September, and workers blowing up some tree stumps. Incidentally, the contractors are paying time and a half for Saturday work on the housing project. Ninety onts an hour is not bad with the price of eggs going up. Any students in terested in part time work should con tact Mr. Ed Lanier in South Build ing. Right now he's the busiest man on the campus, though, and if you don't find him in his office try Memorial Hall. A few men students learned the easy way about women at Caro lina. One of the dorms originally assigned to men was at the last moment changed to accommodate married couples. In the mixup a few single men were assigned rooms in the dorms. You can imagine their surprise and delight when they heard feminine voices coming from the rooms. Unfortunately, things are straight now. Who said this was a liberal institution? Jerry Davidoff, efficient, aggressive leader of the CPU has just returned from the nation's capitol where he con tacted important political big-wigs in an effort to entice them southward for an appearance at Carolina. Some of the republican leaders want to make a swing through Dixie before election time so we may see Senators Leverett Saltonstall (Mass.) and Robert Taft (Ohio) on the campus late this sum mer or during the fall. Carol Reece, chairman of the Republican National Committee also may get down. Others contacted on the trip were: Senator Wayne Morse (Ore.), William Green of the AFL, Max Gardner of the Treasury Dept., and representatives of the Town Meeting of the Air. None of these men have signed on the dotted line yet, but it looks as if the CPU plans to lead campus organizations in presenting headline speakers to the campus. Best of luck, CPU. Ike kto scientious objectors who have been stationed on the campus as guinea pigs while being systematically starved for a scientific study of the effects of pro longed malnutrition on such victims as those suffering today in Europe. You cannot teach a starving man democracy, the study showed. Although the drive was slated to last for only one week, the commit tee is making plans for a continuation of its Food for Freedom campaign and for more cooperation with CARE so long as human beings are starving. Waste of Manpower Dear Editor: Now that the politicians of the campus have got off the letter column perhaps I can get in a word edgewise. I'm browned off plenty. Why, when men and machines are needed for the construction of the veterans village over behind the in firmary, does the University waste men and machines making sidewalks, bricking in the space in front of the library, and building a stone wall from Carr Dormitory along Country Club Road up to the Varsity Club? Maybe the houses aren't here yet, but certainly there is plenty of work to be done out on Pittsboro Road pre paratory to erecting the houses. Roads, sidewalks, electricity, plumbing, etc. What does the University want, pretty sidewalks and stone walls or students? Frank L.. Hoskins, Jr. 105 Ridge Lane Carolina Rocks to Beat Of Old-Timers at Reunion By Roy C. Moose Regardless of the hold we young'uns think we have on Carolina, every year at commencement time we are dislodged from our positions by the "old timers" who take over and show us how the Alma Mater was in the old days. Each year the old fellows come from far and wide (for none of them would dare miss it) for the reunions that place Carolina among the top meeting places. Last Monday was no exception as hundreds of former freshmen met to rediscover the byways of Carolina. Highlight of the occasion was the gathering of the Old Students Club, fondly called the "meetinst" of Alumni organizations. Assembling annually.it adds much color to the university when the men of the classes in the '70s and '80s again roam the campus. To qualify for this grand old organization, a class must be an alumnus for fifty years. Topping this year's festivities was the "initiation" of the class of 1896 as "freshmen" in to the club. Among the familiar faces present last Monday were George McCorkle, class of '78 ; Ernest Haywood, class of 'SO; Dr. James Y. Joyner, class of '81; and Josephus Daniels, class of '85. When these retrospective think ers assembled the buildings on the campus reacted as if an earthquake had hit the place. No one knows ex actly how the conversations went, but they undoubtedly discussed every sub ject except what the Governor of North Carolina said to the Governor of South Carolina. Among the other classes reuniting that kept the place on its proverbial ear were the classes of '07, '08, '09, '10, '21, '27, '28, '29. When they pulled out Tuesday, the campus again became a haven for studious young men and women in search of knowledge. The Old Students Club has made us realize that we really don't advance too high, for remember that fifty years from now we too will be seeking "initiation" into that organization as "freshmen."
