Editorial Synopsis:
People And The Week
"'.very new moxe incut or manifestation of human
activity, 'when unfamiliar to people's minds, is sure to
be misu nderstood." . . . Edward Carpenter.
Last week, there was a turn-over in student administra
tion. The Order of the (olden Fleece recoguied students
who demonstrated "excellence" throughout the past year.
New officers assumed the helm.'
Xewly-hiaugurated President Sonny Evans recognized
two extremely important objectives for which student gov
ernment, must strive next year.
Establishment of a permanent director for our student
union would. he a greatly, needed improvement. Such a 'di
rector could -.make long range, plans, provide com imiity and,,
in general, grow and develop were he a young and ener
getic individual with the union.
. Formulation of a prospectus for the proposed new union
is also an admirable goal for which to strive.
But the creation of new and adequate parking facilities,
we contend, would be the "most far-reaching achievement"
that student government .could make next year.
Students freshmen and .sophomores without "C" avert
ages are currently being denied the privilege of keeping
an automobile on campus.
Student government, under the able leadership of Presi
dent Bob Soung, took an admirable and responsible stand
in recommending such -limitation before the administration
stepped in. But the understanding was that this limitation
and undesirable prohibition was to be only a temporary
one. ' "
The multiplicity of student tral'fu: courts and commit
tees, the distress and inconvenience of students and the dif
ficulty imjM)sed upon sometimes over-eager- in the matter
of tickets tqwh police could all be alleviated and removed
bv additional parking1 lots already planned by the Univers
itv Engineering Dept.
President Kans proposed implementation of the plan for
new off-camplis parking lots during the campaign. He pro
posed to finance, construction of such lots in this manner:
( U Through "immediate Ingrowing of funds from avail
able sources." ....
- (2) With-repayment of such a loan on a--' self-liquidating,
basis through utilization of registration fees on cars.

Being elected secretary of the
student body is just one of sev
eral of Dot Pressley's major ac
complishments during her years
of college. .
At Peace Junior College, Ra
leigh, Dot was president of the
freshman class and the next year
president of the Honor Court.
By her classmates she was chos
en Miss Peace, the student best
representing the ideals of Peace
College and was named the most
outstanding student in her class.
The choice seems to have been
a good one. At Carolina, Dot
soon distinguished herself. In
the fall she was elected social
chairman of the junior class.
She is now a member of Wo
men's Residence Council and
serves on the Graham Memorial
board, of directors.
Dot is a member of Alpha Del
ta Pi sorority and is correspond
ing secretary for that organiza
tion. Early this year Dot went
to Sarah Lawrence College on an
exchange program. During the
past week she has been taking
care of the 2 girls from Sarah
Lawrence how visiting the Uni
versity4 Although Dot is the only Uni
versity Party executive officer
to be elected, she said of her
present relationship with the
other student government exec
utive officers, "We're no longer
UP or SP; we're student body
officers."
The Student Constitution
"states' that the secretary "shall
maintain all records and files of
the student body and shall ar
range for a permanent preserva
tion of; its archives."
"As I see it I'm supposed to
know everything about anything
on the campus," she said with a
smile. Dot feels that the secre
tary must be able to tell the
President nearly everything he
wants to i know about meetings,
problems and future appoint
ments. She feels that the secretary
whose desk is just outside the
president's door will have to be
able to answer a whole lot of
questions which would otherwise
have to be directed to the presi-
dent.
"To me being in the student
government office is just like
being in the heart of Carolina,
and I look forward to seeing all
the people come in and out of
the office," she commented.
Although Friday was the first
day of official work, she has
been working and getting ori
ented in the office since Jackie
Aldridge had to resign in early
April' in- order to begin practice
teaching.
This summer. Dot, who is ma
joring in sociology, has won a
scholarship to study in New
York. She is not yet sure what
. courses she will be taking.
However, if you meet Dot on
the campus, you probably won't
hear a single word about her ac
complishments, for with them
she also has a fitting sense of

modesty;
A forecast-that- went out early this, week, warning. of pos
sihle tornadoes in North Carolina came true Monday night
Avhen several tornadoes, or one that jumped around, hit
in Southeastern North Carolina.
At least lour persons were reported dead and an unknown
number injured when the whirlwind hit in Sampson, Scot
land, Robeson, Bladen and Brunswick counties at approxi
mately 11 p.m. Monday.
In the state's educational circles, Duke University early
this week received grants totalling $7Uir,o from the Ford
Foundation and the University of North Carolina received
a grant of - $527,000.-
Duke's grants were allocated to the Dept. of Economics
and Business Administration and the Political Science
Dept. 1 .
The Carolina grant will cover a-five to six-year period
and will be tisecl to find new approaches to urban growth
and development problems in this area for the next 2o
years. ,
Cov. Luther Hodges !onday raised hopes in North Car
olina public schools when he recommended a 15 per cent
hike in teachers salaries for the new. budget. Hodges -also
recommended an m 1 per cent raise for University faculty
members. " .
A resolution urging Congress to pass a' law-requiring to
bacco manufacturers to label their products' as to whether
they contain "homogenized, reconstituted or synthetic to
bacco" was killed by the House Judiciary committee Thins
tliiy. -.:-'". ..... ,
Also on -Thursday- the House enacted into law a measure
designed to bolster literary tests for voting preregistration.
Glowing but appropriate- de
scription, most feel, for the new
student body veep.
Don, who is only a sophomore,
has a list of accompplishments
and offices which would ordi
narily supercede those of a gra-(
duating senior: These include:
Presidency of the sophomore
class, legislature member and
present speaker, membership4 on
the Consolidated .University Stu
dent Council and Graham Mem
orial Board of Directors, secre
taryship of his freshman class
all these and inclusion on the
Dean's List for his three semes
ters running.
Don hails from the- coastal
plains of North Carolina, a little
town callecf Garner. He likes to
say that Raleigh is near Garner.
Those who know Don rtegard
him as a semi-taciturn guy who
speaks with a quiet voice but
means what he says.
Apparently Don is heading for
big things. A majority of the
voting student body looked with
approval at his assets during the
recent election. He now holds
the important speaker's spot in
the Student Legislature a. spot
vacated by newly elected Presi
dent Sonny Evans. Thus it. seems
a logical spot from which stu
dent body presidents move. Next
year?
Don's immediate plans after
graduation have been formed by
the United States government.
He's on scholarship with the Na
val ROTC.
As for more far-reaching
plans,, Don says he wants to and
anticipates enrolling in. the Uni
versity Law School after a three
year tour with the United States
"Marines.
,., As speaker- of the Student
Legislature, Don may claim au
thority to speak, himself, for a
representative cross-section of
the campus. He is a member of
Phi Gamma Delta fraternity and
a resident of Mangum Dorm.
In his campaigns for political
and non-politidl offices and po
sitions on campus, Don has nev
er lost. Thus, assuredly, he may
be classifned a winner , without
doubt.
The stars seem7 to forecast
much for Don Furtado. His back
ground is excellent toward prep
aration for later endeavor.
Those students who know Don
would certainly project an opin
ion with the stars.
The University, most would
say, does itself well to claim
among its numbers such leaders
as Don Furtado.

Dr. Poteat resigned to accept the Clinton S. Quinn Chaiv
of Theology and Christian Criticism at Episcopal Seminary
of the Southwest in Austin, Texas. His resignation will be
come effective Sept. 1.
Poteat stated that while, he is offered "generous induce
ments at the Texas school, his reason for leaving the Uni
versity is "the expanding economy of the mind, with an
open frontier on which to work. This is the attraction to me,
in the last analysis." Y! '
Regret at Poteat's leaving was voiced by Chancellor Rob
ert Mouse, who said, "I hate la see him go. He has been ?
very valuable man in the University and I wish him wel
in his new situation."
Another big question was raised this week by 'the North
' Carolina legislature. Will tuition for out-of-state students
here -be raised? The Corrsolidated University came out in
opposition to the measure in a statement Tuesday by CI'.
President William C. Friday.
Friday said that if he were given the opportunity to ap
pear before the Appropriations Committee to .which the
bill was referred "the University administration will oppose
the proposal."
The measure, if passed, would raise tuition for out of
state students $200, from $5oo to $700.
Starting the new student government year; the Student
legislature sat in special session Tuesday night to approi-e
a budget of .$114,369.90. t
The largest cut of the new budget went to Graham Mem
orial which received $41,325. Next in line were the Yack-ety-Yack

An announcement came Wednesday that classes will he

body Flail' were Dr. W. D. Perry, dean of the University's
division of .student affairs, Director of Student" Activities
Sam Magi 11,' and Miss Edith Wins W of the student aid
dept.
Though The Daily Tar Heel was denied admission to
the meeting on the grounds that students might not feel
as free to speak, it was stated later that thv administration
favored revision of the present system for remuneration of
workers.
Miss Winslow reportedly stated that the dining hall s
policy of work in Lenoir is of greater importance than
academic phases of student activity is in direct opposition
to the aims of the University.

dent government jvill have in his inaugural address.
Evans praised the administration this year of liob Yonn'T,
ana cited the problem of a student union as one of the most
important facing the campus and the new administration.
Evans said, "I believe that the most far-reaching achieve
ment that .student government can make next year is work
ing with the director in the preparation of a prospectus for
a. new building,"
Other problems on which his administration will act, he
said, are student campus parking violations, funds for re
pair of dormitory television sets, physical education require
ments for veterans, and reduced-rate date tickets for home
