Student Legislature Hears
Recreation Shack Proposal
. so Appropriations Bill in Committee;
Ernest House on Graham Memorial Board
Considerable talk begun in party platforms last spring con
cerning the conversion of the unused Navy wrestling pavilion
near Emerson field house into an interdormitory recreation house
paid off Thursday night as Charlie Long, speaker pro-tern; put
-before the Student Legislature a, bill
calling for investigation of the pos
sibility of converting the pavilion for
that purpose.
The bill called for the naming of
a three-man committee to investigate
the situation, for legislative considera
tion of the committee's report, and
for co-operation with the administra
tion toward conversion of the pavilion.
Another bill, calling for thjg ap
propriation of $600 to cover expenses
for three delegates to the National
Service ' Organization constitutional
convention in Madison, Wis., in Sep
tember, was sent to a committee and
will be reported out next week.
In other action, the legislature
named Ernest House as temporary
(summer) representative from that
body to the Board of Directors . of
Graham Memorial. He replaces Tag
Montague, not present this summer.
The interdormitory recreation
shack bill, which probably, topped the
night's business, has since Spring
been the talking point of political
parties as well as of the Men's Inter
dormitory council."
The council at its meeting Monday
night discussed plans for the shack
at length and will go further into
the question next Monday night at a
joint meeting of the Men's council
with the Women's" Interdormitory
council.
The . legislature wilt meet again
next Thursday night at 7:30 o'clock
in Gerrard hall.
Knight Foresees
Bright Future for
South 's Education
Dr. Edgar W. Knight of the Uni
versity education department told a
large gathering of Virginia educators
at Harrisonburg, Va., Friday night
that "the South is potentially the pub
lic educational hope of this country."
He called upon the colleges and
universities and state departments of
education "to join hands in advanc
ing in this region an educational and
cultural awakening such as no sec
tion of this country has ever seen,
by being courageous enough to plan
more intelligently the proper educa
tion and certification of the teachers
and managers if our public schools,
and by helping to stop dead in its
tracks the present menacing tenden
cy to mechanize and to establish a
sort of politico-pedagogical priest
craft, in our public educational work."
Speaking at the fourth annual in
stitute of education at Madison col
lege, Dr. Knight said that the most
.serious need in public education to
day is for "teachers and superin
tendents and principals of schools who
are men and women of broad and
generous education rather than of
narrow technical pedagogical train
ing, men and women who can hold
their own with the best educated
people in the communities in whose
schools they work."
"Other speakers at the institute in
cluded Prof. George Counts, of Co
lumbia university; Dr. Benjamin Fine,
education editor of the New York
Times, and Prof. W. R. Smithey of
the University of Virginia, who presided-over
the conference.

AVG Hears Report
On National Meet
-
Members of the American Veterans
committee heard a report Tuesday
evening on the AVC national conven
tion in Milwaukee from chapter dele
gates Winston Broadfoot and Roland
Giduz, who returned to Chapel Hill
on Monday evening.
According to Broadfoot, communist
and extreme left-wing elements which
for some time have been seeking to
dominate the organization received a
decisive defeat at Milwaukee. Chet
Patterson, a conservative sponsored
by Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jr., won a
convincing victory over the left-wing
candidate to succeed Charles Bolte
as national commander. Les Purcell of
Atlanta, Ga.; was selected to succeed
Chapel Hill's Walter Spearman as
southern regional director.
Discuss Congressional Action
Recent congressional action to
deny the benefits of the GI bill to
those veterans deemed "disloyal" by
the veterans administration was
strongly denounced by the majority
of the chapter members. Concensus
was that inasmuch as "a man's poli
tical beliefs were not questioned at
the time of induction it is patently
unfair to question them when vet
eran's benefits are being awarded." .
In line with this the chapter voted
to agister its disapproval with the
House veterans affairs committee.
SCHW to Meet Tuesday
The local chapter of the Southern
Conference for Human Welfare will

Human Relations Workshop
By Raney Stanford
The first workshop in human resources and intercultural education in the
region of the south is now being conducted in the Alumni building. The
workshop, under the joint sponsorship of the National Conference of Chris
tians and Jews and the University, has attracted around 40 educators and
religious leaders from six southern states for the six weeks work in human
relations.
W. Carson Ryan, head of the department of education here, is serving as
director, with John E. Ivey, Jr., as associate director and special consultant
on resource-use education. Lester ;
Dix, of the Bureau of Intercultural
Education of New York City, is the
full-time consultant for the six-weeks
period. -
" This program, as Dix points out,
is helping those participating in de
veloping good educational processes,
in improving living conditions, and
guiding groups in the paths of toler
ance. "We are working with members of
various regional minority groups as
consultants, to find the best ways to
combat intolerance and prejudices,"
Dix said. "Also among our con
sultants for this current program are
religious leaders, psychiatrists, sociolo
gists, labor and industrial leaders,
and artists."
That the interest in the work being
done here is greater than regional is
shown by the presence of a Peruvian
university professor and a Chinese
school principal on the rolls of the
workshop.
Committee Will Study
Constitution Changes
Tom Eller, student body president,
has named a five-man constitution
committee to investigate difficulties
arising from the unorthodox manner
in which the constitution was amend
ed in spring elections.
Chairmaned by Jim Vogler, the
committee will consider whether cur
rent amendments, offered in substi
tution form rather than by customary
addition, should be retained or re
worded to comply with the proper
addition procedure. The Student coun
cil will be asked to adjudicate the
document before provision is made
for the printing of official amended
copies of the constitution.
The new committee, made up of
Vogler, Bill Mackie, Dewey Dorsett,
Annie Ben Beal, and Jimmy Wallace,
will hold its initial meeting at
o'clock Tuesday in the Grail Room
at Graham Memorial.
