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.

Night Editor Guy Ellis Pringle Pipkin 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 tic So m okGSimcin Neil Bass A serious-minded young man with a destiny Don Furtado.

DON FURTADO new vice president "A" Tornadoes, Salaries, Grants: State's Week 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.

" Tapped with the varsity basketball team were Coaches Frank McGuire and James A. ("Buck") Freeman. On Tuesday morning came the announcement of the res ignation of Dr. William Poteat after 13 years at Carolina. 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.

An announcement came Wednesday that classes will he dismissed Wednesday, May 8, for the inauguration of Wil liam C. Friday as Consolidated University president The inauguration will take place at Reynolds Coliseum in Ra leigh. The Lenoir question took precedence in the campus mind again Wednesday when workers met with the dinin hall's director George Prillaman and administrative officials in an effort to clarify differences between the workers and Prillaman. Representing the administration at the meeting in Pea 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. Whit Whitfield and John Brooks were named Wednes day, night, to head the Student Party until elections next fall. Whitfield defeated Gary Greer for the chairmanship of the party. John Brooks was elected to the vice-chairmanship by, acclamation. James Monteith was named winner of the 1057 Mangum award for oratory, in judging Wednesday night. Monteith spoke on "Canaan - Land." New Student Government President Sonny Evans Thurs day night cited cooperation as the key to "any success" stu 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 ball games. And the week ended with the prime social event ot the Carolina spring season, the third Germans concert and dance of the year.
