THE DAILY TAR HEEL. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1957 PAGE TWO Kv !)! lJL "Til t 1 J To New Chancellor Aycock: Faith Is Mighty Important The University community and the student body should be proud to have such a younj, energetic and respected chancellor as William Ay cock.. While our choice was someone else, w e cai,i see jn Aycock the ex cellent qualities that made him so acceptable to .the people who chose the new chancellor he is young.-.well-liked, determined and should be a good interpreter ol the I'niversity to the. people who. love, and support it. Unfortunately, when William Acx k takes over the job of chan cellor next fall he will inherit far more than the portrait-lined of fice, on the first floor of South liuilding. lie will get a hatful of worries. We suppose he already is quite familiar with most of those worries, such as the need for high er instructors' pay and the contin ued freedom of the mind, and he is 'qualified for tangling with the obstacles that rise up in front of those eternal needs. lint there arc some oiher prob lems that need attention and that alw?.s do not receive complete con sideration in South lUilding. They are largely students' problems, and the students need the new chan cellor's trust and; assistance before those problems can be solved. We will list a few of them: i. The need for housing. Here is something that can easily be ov erlooked when one is fighting in the State (ieneral Assembly for millions of dollars in appropria tions, lint it is a continuing prob lem (Gordon Gray listed it year after year in his President's Re ports) and oner what will not get better after a, while.

Someone must engrave on the state's mind nJie fact that 21.1 percent of the students at the Universiy here arc manied students, and that many students do not come to this Uni xersity lecause they cannot find adequate housing for themselves and their families. The new chancellor must be ' readv to argue with f crests xv ho oppose state housing projects, and he must not bend under the pressure that is bound 'to come. ' 2. New student union. As in dicated in the report of the Visit ing Committee of the Board of Trustees, proponents of a nexv stu dent union building are not like ly to get their xvish anytime soon. Now the 'Graham Memorial build ing holds a very small percentage of the students xvho pay student union fees.

Out-of-state tuition. A year or so ago, the legislative policy makers of the University decided they needed more money to run the institution, so they raised out-of-state students' tuition by $350. This has resulted in a lessening of student quality and can cause a trend toward isolationism in the student body. This week, the Visit ing Committee of the Board of Trustees recognied the mistake to some extent; it recommended that tuition for out-of-state grad uate students be restored to the normal North Carolina rate. The reason: The Visiting Com mittee felt "a rich source of pros pective teachers, scholars and re searchers is being lost to the tTni-. xersity and the state." Uy the same token, a rich source of student leaders and the healthy influence of . people from other parts of the country is being lost to private in- - " " , 7; , vuilil v Jill uill 1 n . 1 ' 4. Athletics. This xvould be the most difficult request to answer, for in probably no other field at the University is there such a jxm erful influence to maintain the status quo. lint the Unixersity, through the guidance of the nexv c hancellor, should riot be content to satisfy the rules of the various athletic conferences to xvhic h it be longs. Although in many ways the Uni versity is even more strict than the conferences, its goal should be set even higher. 'There should be no possible xvav for the University to get involved in the type of scandal th X. C. State College is still wallowing in right now; there should be no chance of another "Viuce Olen' case or any other hints of wrongdoing such as those whic h have come to the surface in recent years. ry. The most imjMHtant, and most critical, problem now exist ing'here for the students is student freedom. For student freedom was born because certain South Build ing officii Is felt it should be there. As long as there arc nien in South Building who believe in student freedom, that freedom shall exist if the students themselves exer cise their freedom with a great deal of responsibility. In the past there have been cases of t he students neglecting their responsibility, but in almost every instance-the. people in South Build ing hax'c reached .deep down into their sends gnd come up xvith a faith in the students that the reMMHisi bility will return. It has returned, practically every time. So we ask the new chancellor to have faith in the student .body, to stick by the students' freedom the xvay he will" stick by his, and to never forget that, while there are often cases of irresponsibility, there Student i orkgrs At Lenoir Hall' Want Fair Break From Management Editor: We were glad to see - that The -Daily Tar Heel editorial staif has taken interest in tbj wage situation of self-help students (Feb 19). but we would like to clarify , with the editor matters concerning the - bill before the legislature that a committee be appointed -to investigate the sit uation of existing conditions for Lenoir Hall workers. - You stated the lact that we are paid-in food. As you can see, a raise in salary would only , mean more food daily.. The .work ers do not want this. They want to be. paid cash, and would be satisfied with the $ .75 right now if they could get cash. The administrators feel that they have stuck their heads out now with the $ .75 wage. This is more than most college campuses pay and little could be done to ccomplish a change in this poli cy. But, something could be done about the way students are paid at Lenoir Hall. Lenoir workers can only receive their pay in food. Yes, food ... if they wish to save up money to pay other ex penses, they can't, and it is im possible to meet bills with credit in food at Lenoir Hall. Even if this were accepted, it couldn't be done, for Lenoir Hail officials say that if the workers don't use their daily wage for wood on the day that they earn it, that they can't have it the next day or ever. They cannot carry food from Lenoir Hall. The only way they can feel that they got their money's worth at the end of, the day, if they have filled their bodies in food capacity and they have food cred it left, is to buy food, and, be cause they can't eat it, leave it on the table. This is a very child ish but natural thing to do. If there is another job on campus that pays like this, we would like to hear about it no. we would n't, for two 'wrongs do not make a right. A petition by student workers for a change in this policy was unsuccessful. The management had logical facts (which might be questionable) concerning the unworkable nature of a change. It was said that Lenoir would have to raise prices if the work ers were paid in cash. The rea son would be that they aren't making any profit and they bare ly have enough money to operate on. Notice the new china dishes they just bought, yes bought. We're sure that no one gave them to Lenoir Hall. Doesn't it seem a bit strange that an estab lishment operating on a narrow margin ups and changes dishes just like that? They claim state officials made them do this for sanitary reasons. Well, doesn't something re quire -(hat young adults 18 years old and up receive cash wages for working part time? If not, it is time something was done about the situation at Lenoir Hall. We hojx; the bill passes and that the committee can come across new discoveries that the - dent workers did not find. All L'il-Abner level of other student workers on campus. This is the best that any Lenoir Hall worker could hope for to be paid in cash and budget his own money! 'We are sure that his budget -would not look like this: income daily, $1.90; expenditures daily, food.. $1.90. Thanks to Whit Whitfield and the Studeni Party for the bill, we want is to be paid in , cash, and then we would be on the.

THE CHARLOTTE NEWS: Esthetic Battle Is Raging The ,most refreshing thing about the - aesthetic free-for-all raging in Chapel Hill over the architecture of the new art building is that it is indeed a free-for-all fought with enorm ous conviction and elaborate zeal. " . . Too often, when universities and artists become solvent they lose their old xussedness and vitality and become merely cita dels of civility. This will never do. It stifles expression and free expression is what makes great art. whether it be in architecture or pot-making. We reject Jacques Barzun's theory that art exists solely out of the impartial benevolence of the world's assorted Babbitts. "Has it ever occurred to you," he says, "that the very things you're interested in art, science, new ideas of any .kind would never have been widely distribut ed had it not been for the trades men's interest in the commodity and lack of interest in what it's about? Leave it to the philoso phers and artists, and each fa natical sect will suppress all the rest on the grounds of principle. Your trader is your only impart ial man." Impartiality can't save bad art nor can it do much to help good art. A nice soul-satisfying rum pus can at least flush some of the badness out into the open where it cap be recognized and con demned. Conflict cannot hurt archi teCture, eithes. . Most of the world's great architects Sulli- van, Wright, Le Corbusier, van der Rohe thrived on it. The only touch of irony in the Chapel Hill rhubarb is the fact that it is being conducted amid prohably the greatest collection of architectural monstrosities this .side of the Chicago World's" Fair of 1893. No amount of ex post facto lamentation, can standardize a campus which is already an ami able' hodge-podge of many archi tectural modes. But there is vir tue in almost any attempt to avoid further clashings of style. If the new art building must be Georgian let it be good Georgian. But. let's at least try to have its design correspond sdmewhat to the real needs of the people and paraphernalia that . will occupy it. Anything less is dishonest. By A' Capp I A MUD MUSHROOM V.

Here is the University's defint tion of Aycock's job: GENERAL RELATIONSHIPS AND DUTIES OF THE CHANCELLORS The chancellor of each of the several institu tions shall be responsible o the president for the administration of the several schools, divisions and departments comprising hu institution, and shall make an annual report (and such other reports as shall be called for) on the state of the institution under his control. He shall be the advisor to the president for his institution in matters of inter institutional administration. He shall present to the president all administra tive, fisca and other matters of his institution to be considered by the board or its executive com mittee at any of their meetings or by committees of the board. ' . He shall recommend to the president all appoint ments for terms of more than one year, promotions within, and removals from the faculty and other positions, administrative or otherwise, in the in stitutions, and all increments in salaries and leaves of absence for members of the academic, ad ministrative or other staffs. He shall be responsible to the president for enforcing the decisions, actions, policies and regu lations of the board and of the faculties for the operation of his institution. He shall be the official medium of communica tion between all deans, heads or chairmen of de partments, directors, and all other administrative officers, faculty members, students and employees. The chancellor shall be a member of all facul ties and other academic bodies of the institution oer which he presides and shall have the right to preside over the deliberations of the legislative body of the faculties of his. institution. All pro jects, programs, and institutional reports which form any part of the activitiy of his institution are subject to his approval. When not otherwise specifically defined by board action, and subject to review by the presi dent, he shall have the right to define the scope of authority of faculties, councils, committees and officers of his institution. Subject to review by the president, he may take the initative in all matters of student discipline and in the regulation of stu dent organizations and institutions whose actions may affect the welfare or policy of his institution. The chancellor with his faculty shall be charg ed with the responsibility of maintaining the ed ucational policies of his institution, subject to the endorsement of the president and the final ap proval of the board. The chancellor shall assist the president in his relationships with and presentations to the Board of Trustees, the General Assembly, the Advisory Budget Commission, Budget Bureau officials and the public. Non-f$ureaucrqts Have Pone Good Job Stan Shaw 9 The other day we said that Graham Memorial was the official residence of the Junior Bureaucrats Club. Since then we have had reason to change our mind. We have recently been engaged in a lit tle busy work. (A term which we learned at the NSA Congress last summer.) While partaking of this busy work we have found out that the Official Student Constitution of the University of North Carolina cotains exact ly 6,944 words. If you haven't understood the term busy work this example should clear up the difficulty. Then we learned that the' Student Legislature has mandated the president of the student body to make a complete overhaul of this constitution. In the ovtrhaul the constitution will be simplified and cut down to a document containing principles and drawing up the framework of student govern ment. v This is clearly a piece of non-bureaucratic work. A real bureaucrat would never simplify anything. If a change were to be made he would add, delimit, expound and generally confuse the document. This would be done, ostensibly, for the same of exact ness. It would spell out duties so that everyone could see exactly what was to be done. In the process it would also stifle initiative, but this is a low price to pay in the mind of the bureaucrat. We shall not say that' we know that a good job will be done, or that conditions will be improved by any changes brought about. It is possible to simplify too much, and in a 'sense lose part of the continuity that is necessary for any government, but it appears to be a step in a direction more closely allied to what could be called right. In any event it cannot be called bureaucracy. And so with this in mind we shall be happy to say that not all student politicians are bureaucrats. We hope that the campus can see more of this kind of work in the future months. YOU Said It: Arise, Parity Raiders1.
