The vycek xvns called "Academic I teedom Week." It wa spiHisoretl by the I'nited States Na tional Siiident Association to realfitm "man's i;hl t( knowledge and the free tise theieof." The concept of academic treedom olten es tapts those who neeel t( piotett that Ircedom most the students. It is a concept that is U in.; threatened in the wojld at laie tod.tx.

On Coed Rules Gary Greer Amid the vehement opposition to the rules which have been proposed by the Women's Resi dence Council for the "Bumper Crop" of freshman women that will arrive next fall, there has emerged in the mind of the writer at least, the question of which rather than whether. This is to say that per haps some of the rules xvould be advantageous to the girls in their period of adjustment. This is not to say, however, that I am in agreement with all of the proposed regulations, or exen half of them. Just which of the proposed rules are justifiable in terms of historical need or of logical prudence? Are the rules psychologically sound? Will they ac complish that for which they are intended? These and many more questions must be answered by the Women's Residence Council before they will be able to make a wise decision xvhich will benefit all To allude to psychological interpretation or to the age-old slogan of "administrative pressure" in order to criticize the WRC is certainly to detract from that group's fervent efforts to do the right and proper thing; to ascribe any vengeful motives is unfair. At the same time, however, one must not forget that even the best of us are subject to ra tional and liberal advice especially in matters which are as basic as the honor system itself. Three of the proposed rules arc not justifiable, not enforcable, and. in fact are not by any means preparatory to the development of a mature, .self disciplined personality, nor are they of such mature as to yield "good study habits" or to produce aca demic, cultural, and social success. The rule pertaining to closed study is one which would deprive freshman women of many desirable, wholesome social and cultural outlets, it is a rule which would correlate scholastic achiex'ement xvith restriction of movement, for closed study can never guarantee anything more than that one xvill be re stricted to the confines of a room or a hall! To legislate the hour -at which a coed's "dark ness exposure" wil begin is as unwise as to legis late the number of calories a girl xvill consume per day, for both would be based on the assumption that a freshman is incapable, of providing for her bodily needs, is not responsible enough to regulate the inexst personal aspects of her survix-al! The policy of lights out makes no provision for individu al differences, rather groups all people under one system xvhich is regulated, prescribed and unreal istic. A third proposed rule which denies individual differences, which xvould prevent a freshman xvo man from getting "homesick" more than three times during her first semester-at Carolina, is one xvhich is based upon an immature outlook towards the varying needs of different people, and xvhich has as its prime example and precedent the regula tions found at many "finishing schools." It is a rule xvhich has no end, meets no need, and xvhich only breeds frustration and antagonism. Finally, all of the rules are in great contrast to the tradition xvhich has co'mc to obsess the stu dent at Carolina, which lias inspried us. challenged us. and made us xvhat we are Carolina ladies and gentlemen.

Hollywood changed a sig nificant aspect of the film and failed to compensate for it in the film's conclusion. At the end of the film the German is shot as he is wandering around in the woods after having smashed hLs machine gun against a tree. The big question is how are w7e to react to his death.
