Dear II I Wallace Pridgen Leo, JV Northart Rosemary Boney Harry Snook Reg Mallote, Joe Northart Profits For More Profits The trustee action on supply stores summed up: No more rebates, a Book X committee of students and 'acuity to meet with Business Manager Teague and Store Manager Ritchie, and all profits to go for grants-in-aid. A committee investigating all three supply store sys tems of the Consolidated University recommended changes ast May and the board adopted the proposals. The committee lad listened to student criticisms and suggestions. The changes provide, that rebates be given for texts 10 )er cent discounts will be discontinued just as soon as budget changes can be worked out. All profits will go toward grants-n-aids for which any student is eligible. Also the board di eted the chancellors to appoint three faculty members and hree students, appointed by the president of the student 3dy, to serve on a committee advising the business managers. This Campus Stores Committee ought to solve an ancient roblem here and elsewhere. No longer will the Student sgislature hold an annual investigation of the Book X. Nor aould there be. outcries of "Where's the money going?" or Why does the manager get paid so much?" (at State College), he board directed that the committee meet each month with he business manager and the store: manager "in order that he stores' management . and the. administration may have is benefit pf all student and faculty complaints, criticisms ad suggestions. '":,".?'' . : The dropping of rebates may. arouse some criticism by Indents who buy books in September but when they realize viat all profits will -go into grants-in-aid, they will probably jbside their fury. And note the term "grants-in-aid." That ioesn't mean scholarship in the sense of exceptional academic ttainment.rlt means that students of general intelligence, character; and possessing leadership will be awarded funds o continue their studies. A $50,000-odd sum going to such a and will be a great boost to needy students here now and ihose who will attend the University in the future. The trustee committee's report and the full board's ac ion deserves credit. The work of H. R. Ritchie, store manager, who was a self-help student at the University and took over the Book X years ago to make it a thorough success deserves mention. We're sure Mr. Ritchie will be glad to work with the new committee. But certainly a large part of any commendation should ' to the students of State College, and in particular, -to Paul .'ought, editor of The Technician, who brought many of the problems before the public and who asked for more adequate : allotments of the monies. The Heat's On The heat's on; the books are open. For some, the Chapel Hill atmospherels a welcome change lurom the routine teachingpupils; it's-a chance to enrich the already educated mind. For others, . it's a "chance to catch up In studies or take somd extra courses. For a few, it's the last tretch six or twelve weeks and the four year pursuit; has ,:ome to an end. For still others, this first summer session- is in introduction to the University, the first opportunity to exT -ose one's thoughts to higher -academic levels in a new en vironment. For these freshmen, there is the privilege of firid ng out new ways to improve, to understand, and enjoy life. ""While all three thousand study, learn, and have fun' to gether, the University community in : the hxt summertime jontinues to serve as a great center of knowledge, culture; and character building. ' r Impressions Of Ike (While in New York, your editor witnessed General Dwight D. Eisenhower's second press con ference as a candidate jor ,ihe Republican presidential nomina tion.) - What happens when a soldier turned civilian gets an unre hearsed going over by 200 newspapermen, representing, American and foreign news papers? How does a life long Army man behave as he an swers a barrage of ' questions, sometimes embarrassing, some times impertinent? . :. "Just fine" would be the aji swer if you were talking about General Ike Eisenhower. Any general worth his stars should know how to handle a press "conference. A general should understand public " relations completely (While some would disagree, Gen. Douglas Mac Arthur is a master of this art). And. Gen. Eisenhower proved himself an expert in the ques- tion and answer game. '-y.?; During the hour long con ference in the east ballroom of - the Hotel Commodore in mid town Manhatten, the general fed the hungry reporter's curi osity with, frank replies. There was an "I don't know" instead of the usual "No comment." And a reporter - .could get at least a worthwhile partial answer on matters of which the general was not familiar. ; -' The issues, discussed have been well publicized. Gen Ike is a , Republican, the Vanden burg j kind on foreign policies, and more like Senator Taft in his thinking in domestic poli cies. - i ' - - .' - Whatever his beliefs, many reporters enjoyed hearing the candidate sound off. There was a good deal of humanness . and sincerity, , enveloping . r his speeches as he ? answered the flood of questions 3n the short hour, you could SpringPanfy Raids Analys Florida Coed Was IDisg uste Enough . timel .' has .

AsThe "Daily Tar Heel was about to lock up for its last issue a few weeks ago, a leader less crowd moved about without purpose or accomplishment. The journey to Smith and Mclver produced little more than noise. Tear gas used by an over excited State policeman gave the midnight adventure a riot atmosphere but there was no rioting. The last raid cooled about 2:30 a. m. There were many more spectators than raiders. It seems that the University raids were just copies of ones at northern schools. There was also an ounce of shallow pomp v and pride in the minds of those -that began the raids. The raids can be chalked off. as spring . prankishness by students,- but to members of the administra tion, the mob attempts were .more serious. Some college" authorities fear that the raids may be an annual affair. But like any other college fad, it has probably panned out, and If it appears again, it will prob ably appear in some other form. A University of Florida coed wrote a letter to a Carolina stu- " dent recently, expressing her sentiments of a raid. The Flo rida raid was expensive and damaging. Both UNC raids re sulted in no damage or expense, just worry and work for police, administration and student leaders. Here's the letter from Gaines-- : ' ville:- -'. ' -' ' - ' - '.': "This place has really seen Some" ' excitement. Last night around 12:30 or; 1 a; m., two thousand boys swarmed over the girls' dorms and created quite a riot. ' "I don't think you've ever seen our dorms, but there are three of them -and they are placed in such a manner that there is a huge court yard be tweeii them. That's where all of the boys gathered. At about 12:30 I was sitting in the lounge studying there were about five of us and suddenly we heard shouting. At first we thought it was a fraternity com ing to serenade us, as they often do. Bx5f this was different, We all went ' out on the balcony and the boys kept coming. Liz (roommate) called-me and. said I lock the door as they were up to no good. I said, 'Oh it's nothing," and then went into our room and looked out the window (the window is on the other side and does not face the court. . "Honestly I've never seen so many boys all coming down the hill like swarms of hungry ants closing in for the kill. We locked pur room and went over to Ann's (across the hall), and locked ourselves in. All we could do then was to sit there and watch the whole thing. The boys got irito the dorms by vayous methods.' It looked as if they were being sucked in; some were climbing on the roof (these buildings are four stories high.) "We could hear them tramp ing up and down the hall and could see them in the other dorms. One time we heard a knocking on the door and thought it was some girl caught out in the .hall, so we said in our ;weak "voices, "Who is it?" And a deep, gruff voice an swered, "Open the door!" After that, whenever they pounded on the door, we just ignored them, as best -we could, that is. gef their ' hands on except" the girls.' r: " r ; - - : -. . . . f'Some of: the ' girls enjoyed th show- and actually; helped ....the... boys into their rooms. Others were out .1 oh the bal- conies "watching it air with " in tense . interest, some throwing their undies down to the eager awaiting hands; the rest of the coeds.. were locked in their rooms watching it all but scared to death. You can include me with the latter. There was a lot. of damage and of course thousands of : rumors. Several people were in jured but not seriously. We all feel the same way about the whole thing disgusted. And so help us, for once we have n sympathy for any boy with a clawed face, because this time he or they deserved it and more. High heels really saw some ac tion; irons and Coke bottles, anything, were used to ward off the raiders. "Ah," a day in the life of a college coed. But enough . . ." I think she enjoyed the show more than anything else. At the University of Indiana, authorities decided to meet the raid problem by setting out a barf elf ul of discarded fe male undergarments and invited male students to take all they wanted. This rather "unacademic procedure," the Collegiate Press tells .us, was inspired by a raid 'They have termed this thing the night before. At Bernard an "underwear raid." It was. The 'girls that didn't stay in their rooms or left their doors unlocked really lost their en tire supply of undies. That wasn't all they took as far as clothing was concerned; they grabbed everything they could "College, a raid couldn't be stop . ped because of the girl's en couragement. And so again, colleges made the headlines, jiot for endow ment funds, research news, or appointments, but just for pan ties sake. CROSSWORD - - - By Eugene Sbeffer tz IS ill 123 27 17 mi 122 4 2 see' some of the reasons why Eisenhower has been a success, both as a sdldier-.and a diplo mat. : He can maker fast and accurate decisions, he Is ju dicious in answerng packed questions. He is completely at ease while getting a journalis tic going over. What was the most startling impression that I received from the mass interview was that Eisenhower seemed ; like a civilian, talked, like one, and . would be inclined to act like one in the president's : chair if elected. He appears to be an : individualists; he hates red tape and bureacracy; he speaks with . surprising directness. One of the great fears of would-be Ike-supporters, is .the idea o a military mind executing Amer icas rdestinies.
