I he Daily Tar Heel issued three suggestions to Messrs. Claude Teague. rniversity business manager, and II. R. Ritchie, general manager of retail stores: (1) That the price of campus stores' school supplies be lowered, since we are certain through consultation with Law School students similarly disturbed bv exhorbitant profits that such action would not conflict with provisions of the Umstead Act, preventing institutional monopoly and direct competition with merchants. (2) That campus stores continue to allocate a per centage of their profits to scholarships, yet also allocate a certain percentage to deserving student groups, such as dor mitories, who provide the funds initially. ($) That the Campus Stores Committee immediately release an itemized statement spec ifying the exact allocation of prolits and the exaction original source of these profits. The Daily Tar Heel abhors and detests the stalking secrecy and lmstery which veils operations of campus stores, from the eyes of student consumers. A consultant in the University Ijiw School who is v-qually concerned about the lucrative prolits which campus stores amass yearly has released a sample relative juicing on one particular item, a legal pad: Approximate wholesale price 10 cents. Price at -a relatively high downtown firm cents. Price at the University Bookatcria 3(1 cents. Yet campus stores refuse to release any of their lucra tive .profits to a contingency fund for the maintenance of dormitory television sets: they refuse to. lower prices; they refuse to 'even release an itemize! statement of their profits and the source of these profits: they continue to tax the entire student bodv with extortionate prices for the bene fit of a minority ol scholarship recipients. Again we all for release of a itemized statement. Again we call for demonstration of a willingness to ne gotiate with student consumers who must blindly empty their jxxketbooks while the administration thumbs its nose at student curiosity. i -ft- Heaf, Wage Measure, Peace: States Week . Walt Schruntek Beginning the new week with a holiday, most North Carolinians last week were content to avail themselves of what the weather bureaus throughout the area have been calling "tmfceasoiiablc heat" since early April. State ac tivity got off to a slow post-holiday start as the thermometer seemed to place a restraining hand every where. Temperatures rose and settled firmly over the Car olinas micklle ancl upper No's were the mean: and some areas reported recordings in the low and middle 90's. - Ralciglv legislators worked, through the heat, however, and towarclVuidweek passed a bill to regulate and license real estate brokers and salesmen throughout the state. A sig nificant bill '.concerning compulsory ".liability insurance for automobile owners was ostponed until April 30 by the-law-makers. The Senate passed a .75-cent minimum, wage law Wed nesday which was sent to the House to face an uncertain late, according to most political observors. The heat seemed to lend itself to conflict in the state c apitol when opposing elements met' to settle questions con cerning operation and control of Peace College. The Gran ville Presbytery was asked to retain control of the college, but dissension grew out, of where the school was to be sit uated. One group favored retaining the college in Raleigh while another held for its establishment in Iuirinljurg. mlp Wat Heel The official student publication of the Publications Board of the; University of North Carolina, where it is published daily except Mon day and examination and vacation periods and summer terms.

Apt and fitting description, most would agree, for next year's Student Council Chairman Mack Patton.

"1 as president or the senior class. He was elected to this post in spring elec tions April outstanding piling up in Ragsdale's record began his freshman vear. "All id id that year," he says modestly, .was to pledge Delta Kama Fpsilon social fraterjiity, be come a member of the Ger mans Club, and join the Un ivcYsity Party, on whose tic ket he ran in the recent elec tion.. In his sophomore year Ragsdale ran for a seat on Honor Council, and won. I le was also elected vic e pres ident of the German Club, and initiated into "The Or der of the Sheiks," an or ganization which he describes as "a nebulous group that pledges itself to good times." Tli is year Ragsdale has served as president of the junior class and clerk of the J lonor Council. Ragsdale was doubly rec- ognied this spring for his endeavors in student govern ment and fraternity activi ties when he was tapped into first the Order of the Holy Grail and then the Order of the Golden Eleece, highest men's honorary. Ragsdale'c citation upon his initiation into the Fleece read, "Able leader in the student judiciary, prime ex ample of responsible student leadership in his class" and other activities." Further recognition has been shown Ragsdale this spring. He is to be chief marshal! at graduation, and a marshal at the inaugura tion of William C. Eriday as president of the Consoli dated University. His summer record is quite different from his 'winter record. Eor the past two summers this Deke has larmed. He raised tobacco and cattle for his father on the elder Ragsdale's farm near their home in Raleigh. Ragsdale's sc hedule fa r this coming vacation is a far cry from farming he will tour Europe with a group guided by Dr. J. C. Lyons. So here we have George Ragsdale: Deke. summertime farmer, future lawyer, Ger mans Club officer, senior class president, Honor Coun cil chairman, member of the Goiden Fleece and Order of the Grail. -m j L'il Abner ( v., t ;- A. ! George Ragsdale iieads Men's Council Mack Patton Will chair Student Council Administrative Flaw Binds Student Union? It is indeed regrctable that the University a pioneer in the student union movement in the South has progressed so little in recent years. Other colleges and universities are the proud possessors of elaborate multi-million dollar structures, and the Uni versity still clings to conspicuously inadequate Graham Memorial. The logical question is: why no progress? , Obviously there, are ' many reasons including a finani cally hampered state-legislature. Put another reason may be the administrative .organiza tion, i ' Our present organization .'scheme has the GM director subjigated to the direc tor of student activities, the junior ad ministrative official. This set up may be the reason why at least two outstanding, potential GM directors have refused the job. If so, the organizational scheme should be immed iately revamped. (3) Appellate jurisdiction m cases involving the Elec lions Law. Chairman Patton is a Zeta Psi and hails from the Caro lina Piedmont . Durham, home also of student body President Sonny Evans, Stu dent Party Chairman Whit Whitfield and other notable University, students. Mack is a junior and pre med. He hopes to attend the University Medical School, and with his "90" plus aver age, he should have little dif ficulty making entrance. Semi-taciturn Mack pos sess indefatigable energy. This is evidenced by his al ready formulated plans for his council although he lias just recently assumed the chairmanship reins. Mack's primary objective as far as next year's council is concerned is "making the students aware of the juris diction and workings of the Student Council." Along with this "aware ness" program, Mack has the following plans already slated: (1) Monthly reports to The Daily Tar Heel to in form the student body of the council's actions without "re vealing names. (2) A meeting with mem bers of the other two judic iary bodies and the Facul ty Board to clearly define jurisdictional boundaries to avoid confused jeopardy, so that students may be com pletely clear as to the func tions and duties of each council. Those who know Mack and his quiet brand of super-efficiency would be quick to admit this admirable com bination of qualities and capabilities: A ready and smoothly operating leader recognized by the Order of the Grail a quiet man with pity and concise and meaningful lang uage, a scholar and an ath lete who gave up athletics lie was a member of his freshman basketball and track teams in deference to a busy pre-medical curric ulum. All in all, a man who thinks before he speaks, speaks when he means it, does what he says a leader. By AS Cepp WE MEET AT IrJ POLICE 1 DAWr4.r-WHATjl REVOLVERS.'

UGH fcZA I Faculty, Valkfnes, Grail: Campus W: Trool Reader Ashmead P. Pipkin Nancy Hill This campus week started off on the tail-end of a holi day, but thinks perked up Wednesday when a group of pro fessors voiced disapproval of the proposed hike in out-of-state tuition, and a Carolina coed war, named one of the ten best dressed college girls in the nation by Clamour mag azine. Several professors interviewed by a reporter this week voiced disapproval of the proposed S200 increase in tuition for out-of-state students, primarily because of the harm it would do to the graduate program. Dean Arnold Perry of the graduate school said, "I am opposed to the out-of-state tuition increase. UNC has been a regional center for graduate work. When people looked for a university in which to continue their graduate work, they always looked to UNC. However there ii no longer any G.I. Bill to finance this expense. With the increase in the rate, it will mean we are becoming provincial." Dr. Arthur Roe, chairman of the Physics Dept. said, "the price (for tuition) should not be so high as to drive graduate students away. It would be a bit too high" if the new proposal goes through, he said. Dr. William S. Wells, professor of Ivnglish, said the in crease would be "a most unfortunate thing. The nature ol a university as a university is that it has a. cosmopolitan atmosphere, which comes from out of state students." The outcome of the bill introduced three weeks ago is not as yet known. And Miss Sarah van Weyk, junior from Winnetka, 111., has been named a "best dressed college girHn the nation." The results of competition to select the ten best dressed girls from representatives of over 200 colleges were learned here Tuesday. Miss van Weyk will receive a "Hest Dressed" award and will be featured with the nine other4 winners in the August issue of Glamour magazine, to be devoted entirel) to campus fashions. The initiation of seven coeds into Carolina's highest women's honorary came Wednesday morning. The coeds were recognized for character, attitude, service, sound judge- . ment, leadership and scholarship by the Valkyries in pre dawn ceremonies -Wednesday. Initiated were Misses Sara Faith Price, junior nursing student from Buskhannon, W. Va.; Margaret Eunice Funk, junior medical technology student major from Wilming ton, Del.; Susan l!eah Walker, senior education major from Wilmington; Shirley Weaver Bumgarder, senior pharmacy ' major from West Jefferson: Jeart Jaoquelyn Aldridge, sen ior education major from Winston-Salem; Joanna Hill vScroggs, senior English major fro.a Chapel' Hill; and Mrs. Sally Melvin Horner, senior chemistry major from Chaprl Hill. An announcement came Friday of the election of of ficers of the Order of the Holy Grail, top campus under graduate honorary for men. John Kerr, junior from James town, was named delegata to succeed Luther Hodges, Jr. in the top position. Other officers for next year will be Herman Godwin, sophomore from Dunn, scribe; Bennet Thomas, junior from Morven, exchequer; and Macon Patton, junior from Durham, vice exchequer. ohn Whitaker, sophomore from Winston-Salem, was named Friday by Daily Tar Heel Editor Neil Bass as busi ness manager of the paper. He succeeds William Robert Peel, law student, who resigned recently. The Senior Class will present a Ford automobile to the winner of the grand senior class drawing Wednesday, May 1, according to Lou Rosenstock, Senior Day publicity chair man. The drawing will be held at the Patio. x Director of Student Activities Sam Magill announced Saturday that a permanent director for Graham Memorial will be named this week. Nominations were slated to be pre sented to the GM Board of Directors the lirst of the week, he .said. Approved names will be sent to Chancellor Robert House -for final approval. He is expected to make the ap pointment during the week. The choice of a director will mark the culmination ol two smesters work for the GM Board, which has worked on the problem since the resignation of James Wallace last spring. Miss Linda Mann has acted as director this year, but is expected to leave the position in June. And the week that started on the tail-end of a vacation ends with promise of bigger news this week. fleet Shift, Jordanian Collapse: World's Week t Bob High The biggest news in the world this week was the send ing of the 6th fleet by the United States to the Eastern Med iterranean to let the nations involved in the crisis over the Suez Canal and Jordan know the IT. S. is going to safeguaid the peace. In South America, another war broke out, this one in small proportions to the haggles in the Middle Fast. Hon duras has charged that Xicaraguah troops invaded Hon duran territory and have broken diplomatic relations with Nicaragua. The United States has accepted Egypt's plan put before the United Nations Security Council for the running of the Suez Canal. Six other nations rejected the declaration with Russia, strangely enough, agreeing with the United States. The eight-day-old Jordanian government of Premier Hussein Khalidi fell Wednesday as it was forced to resign. King Hussein, fighting for his throne, has imposed martial law on the imperilled country of Jordan. Another Arab nation got into the act this week as Iraq warned Svria and Fgvpt she was ready to. .begin a wide spread military operation against them if any attempt was made to dismember Jordan.
