Student Body President Sonny Evans is sued a call yesterday for more active interest and participation in the program. Evans reviewed the importance and significance of the program and urged all campus leaders as well as everyone interested in stu dent government to attend and make this retreat the success it 5hould be. "This is the first such retreat for student government leaders in a' number of years," he said, "and it is hoped that all govern- Honor System's Importance Is Described Outgoing Honor Council Chair man Jim Exum yesterday describ ed ' the important and significant roles played each year by fresh man orientation counselors in their function of introducing UNC to the new student and initiating him into 'the Carolina Honor Sys tem. Exum put his approval to ' the work being done by the Campus Orientation Committee. He fur ther ur?"d all potential counselors apply fir one of the many posi tions still open. Prospective counselors will meet at 7:30 p.m. today in 103 Carroll Hall. Orientation Com jinittee Chairman Jerry Oppen heimer joined" Exum in urging all interested persons to submit ap - plications- and .' reminded - all ' po tential counselors to attend the meeting tonight. In his statement yesterday, Exum said: "Probably the most important single jobs student government does each year is orientating freshmen and new students to the Carolina campus early in Septem ber. Probably, too, the most im portant single aspect of the cam pus to which the new students are introduced is Carolina's Honor System. "Proper indoctrination of every new student to the mechanics, philosophies and tradition of the Honor System is not only vital to the life and workings of the system, but is necessary for the protection of the individual against possible violations due to ignorance of it," he said. "In spite of the thorough job which last year's orientation counselors and Honor System Commission did in presenting the system to freshman, I can cite examples from cases this year to show that students are still left in ignorance about certain aspects even after 'orientation is com pleted. Exum cited an instance where a student did not think it a vio lation to copy -another's theme (that not signing the pledge would in effect negate the viola tion. He said that confusion still persists over laboratory assign ments and that many freshman, according to English I; and II instructors, do not actually under stand the meaning of plagiarism. "Although no orientation can perfectly instill the Honor Sys tern into every student," he said, "we must recognize an ever pres ent need for much improvement. "Er.ch year the Chairman of Orientation, the committee and counselors should strive to make their orientation the best ever.

"One of the great problems we have faced for years in student government is that of continuity; administrations and offices chang ing in the spring turnover and all philosophy and drive of the past being lost.

By PETE IVEY A sudden thunder storm delayed Dr. Elisha Mitchell, and he waited anta it passed before groping his vay down Black Dome Mountain, the highest summit east of the Rockies. Earlier on that Saturday evening, while it ' was . still light, he said eoodbye to his son, Charles Mit chell, and asked him to return on Monday so that they could con tinue exloration and measurement of this mountain. It was in Yancey county in North Carolina. AGREEMENT . ' "" ? The agreement was to meet aga'fl it Mountain House, two days later. Charles Mitchell left his father, to go Into the valley. Until they would meet again, the plan was that Dr. Elisha Mitchell would des cend the mountain on the other ?ide. H!s purpose was to visit the home of "B'g Tom" Wilson, bear hunter and mountain guide. All this took place almost 109 years a'jo the exact date ! waf June 27, 1837. ; n 1844 Dr. Mitchell had explored' Black Dome, sometimes called Th Big Black, for the third time. His guide was Tom Wilson. PRIDE AND PROOF The reason he wanted to . set Tom Wilson again concerned a matter of pride and proof. vi x" i Only One More Day The students shown above changing classes w II get a week's break from the routine starting to morrow when spring holidays begin.

Know-; ing that Knox, a great fan of the Dr. Thomas Clingman had sa;d in 1856 that he doubted Dr. Mi t hell had ever climbed to the top of Black Dome. Clingman asserted that he himself was the man who had gone to this "highest" moun tain. ' Dr. Mitchell, a profesor of math-1 ematics, mineralogy and geology at 1 UNC, had first revealed the height of Black Dome -in 1835. With the .id of a barometer he calculated the height of the mountain, a part of the Black Mountain Range, as 6,184 feet high HIGHEST ' Up until that time it had been thought that Mt. Washington in Vermont was the 'highest mountain in eastern America. j Dr. Mitchell came back for other climbings and tests in 1833 and in 1844, the latter time accompanied by Tom Wilson. He made the jour ney again in 1855, the year that ' Thomas Clingman challenged him. The objective of this side trip row, on June 27, 1857, was to .see Tom wftson and perhaps get the old guide to be a witness to prove their earlier trip to the summit of Black Dome. . i Dr..

RISKY Even in dayl:ght it is risky to walk far from paths oa Black Dome. The wilderness is like a trap. One is likely to step in the wrong place and plunge over a iteep precipice. It was exactly at nineteen m'n utes after eight o'clock that Dr. Mit chell fell. The evidence is that his foot slipped and that he grabbed at an overhanging bough but fail ed to hold on. The 64-year-old man fell 40 feet 'nlo an icy. pool at the foot of a waterfall. The time is known be-j cause Dr. Mitchell's watch was broken in the fall. i It was 11 days later, July 8, that Dr. Mitchell's body was found. Mare than ' 500 mountain men searched for him. ' ' y REMEMUERED ROUTE The person who finally discover ed the body was Big Tom Wilson, the mountain guide. Wilson remem bered the route they had taken down the mountain 13 years before, and he. picked up the trail taken by Dr. MItche'l and followed it to the edge of the sheer drop into the pool. Dr. . Elisha Mitchell was a , man of ' great reputation, not only in Chapel Hill, but all over the state.

She said great powers such as the Soviet Union can do most about relieving world ten sion. Premier Einar Gerhardsen pub lished a 2,100 word reply to the letter of Soviet Premier Nicolai Bulganin received March 21. That letter threatened atoniT" destruc tion for Norway in case of war if she permits NATO to locate guid ed missiles and atomic, bases on her territory. Gerhardsen's reply was delivered in Moscow Saturday.

Foreiqn Aid Cut WASHINGTON (AP) An 800-million-dollar cut in President Eisenhower's foreign aid program was advocated yesterday by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. A Chamber spokesman recom mended to a special Senate com mittee that foreign aid appropria tions be held to 3,600,00,000 for the fiscal year starting July 1 and that the whole program be placed on a "longer range" basis. Eisenhower has asked for $4, 400,000,000 to continue the foreign aid program through fiscal 1958. Many members, of Congress are proposing cuts a good deal deeper than the 800 million suggested by the Chamber of Commerce. Writer Better PARIS (AP) Francoise Sagan regained consciousness yesterday after a lung operation starting surgical repair of injuries suffer ed in the smashup of a British racing car bought with royalties from her sexy novels. The 21-year-old author of the bestselling "Bonjour Tristesse" and "A Certain Smile" was able after surgery to chat 15 minutes with her brother, Jacques Quoirez. Eager Beaver UMATILLA, Ore. (AP) No longer eager, Joe the beaver has packed his dam-repair kit and moved elsewhere on the Colum bia River. He left man to make his own repairs at McNary Dam. All last week, Joe kept trying to repair a "leak" in the giant dam. The "leak" was the dam's navigation lock. Everytime Joe had it fixed, opening of the lock wip ed out Joe's work. The days of frustration finally took their toll. Attendants said over the weekend Joe "chucked the task and swam off in disgust" heading downstream. There may be harder days ahead for Joe. Downstream lies the Dulles Dam. It, too, has "leaks."
