"I feel that I will be f service to the many young Demo iraU in North Carolina, and if I am elected it is my desire to attend i.s nuny local YDC meetings as r humanly possible, and I will do try utmost to be of assistance to iuiy Democrat and to any local YDC HICKORY Educational leaders must beware the pitfalls of medi ocrity and conformity, Prof. Guy B. Phillips of Chapel Hill warred here Tuesday ct a 10-county dis trict meeting of the North Caro lina Education Assn. A member of the State Board of Education and lormcr dean of the UNC School of Education, Phillips spoke before a Principals Assn. luncheon on 'A New Look at School Administrators." ENEMY AND TEMPTATION "Satisfaction with mediocrity" is the educational leaders most se rious enemy and' 'conformity his greatest temptation," Phillips said. 'The leader must be one who is willing and able to experiment in telligently in the processes of or ganization and management in teaching and supervision, and in human relations." Education work also requires "courage tempered by wisdom, ' the UNC professor said. "It is not a profession for a timid soul, neither is it the opportunity for the radical reformer." ( Emphasis on the operational techniques in school administra tion nas given way to stress on the development of leadership qualities, he continued. Not only "know how" in the mechanics of educational management, but they must possess the "know what" and "know why." t BEST PREPARATION Phillips added that a combina tion off course work, field experi ences and a satisfactory intern ship is best for preparing public Phil Hps news in school leaders;!' ' ?'The school administrator must stand roady t to' answer the old Biblical question, 'Is it well with the child?' Phillips said.". Over one million North Carolina chil dren are today looking to him or to her for the answer. It is not well with the North Carolina child when: 1. "The state, the community and the nation fail to cooperative ly provide and guarantee safe space, qualified staff and a com prehensive program which is in keeping with the modern world. 2. "The taxpayer and his rep resentatives faii ,to put the full value of the property and taxing power behind the child. ; 3. "The state allows a child to remain in a building which is a fire hazard, has a basic struc tural defect or lacks the modern facilities of light, heat and sanitation. 4. "The child is denied the chal lenge to high quality of perform ance cither by misplacing him in the group or by the absence of creative leadership. 5. "The child is not given ade quate guidance and direction for his journey into a new and highly competitive world. 6. 'The school program allows too much undirected freedom dur ing a period of immaturity. 7. "The pressure of the commu nity and of the school schedule take away from the child large pe riods of school time for related activities valuable as outside ex perience but not substitutes for significant learning." Russia Resumes Testing WASHINGTON (AP) Russia has resumed its nuclear weapons tests, the Atomic Energy Commis sion said Tuesday night. ; "Two detonations were detect ed," an AEC announcement said. "Both took place north of the Are tic circle and were of moderate to high yield."

AIM IS TO HELP PLEDGES ADJUST Several Practices Confront New Members Of Fraternities COED DONS RAINCOAT Raincoats were brought out Tuesday by many UNC students, among them Miss Jean Carver, junior from Silver Springs, Md. Showers are expected today, with cool and clear wtather for this weekend, Photo by Jim Ryder By DAVIS YOUNG and JAMIE HOLMES , (This is the third in a series on fraternities by Jamie Holmes and Davis B. Young, members of The Daily Tar Heel editorial staff.) . After pledging a fraternity a new member ii confronted with several practices which each house has to help the pledge adjust to a scholastic and social life. EIG BROTHER Soon after he has been signed the new pledge is assigned a Big Brother whose purpose is to help the "plebe" with any personal problem concerning school work or fraternity relationships. This is handled by a committee to whom the pledge has indicated his pref erence for Big Brother after he has become well acquainted with alljhe chapter actives. To further insure an adjustment to scholastic life the fraternity house sponsors a collection of past tests which have been given for finals by university faculty menv bersv Several hoiise-rnanageis .have reported that their house stholar-ship-chairman$,.;are.. anxious to im prove these "quiz files" this com ing academic season for the bene fit of fraternity members. Eich fraternity holds a "house" or "lodge" meeting every Wednes day night. Though this meeting is attended only 'by initiated brothers the pledges usually have a similar meeting at the same time in a different part of the house. Normally a pledge class will have its own set of officers and an executive committee which is are heard, and chapter brothers' dates are either chastised or praised. Any disharmony within the fraternity is aired and debat ed among all members in search of 'a' Solution. . COMPULSORY STUDY An' issue on which fraternities have various policies is that of compulsory study halls for the pledges. Of ten fraternities ques tioned six have comypulsory study hours every evening Monday- through Thursday. The others i make provisions of some sort, such i as waiting until med-term grades Jefferies Asks Students To List Correct Address Ray Jefferies, assistant to th? dean of student affairs, Tuesday asked all UNC students to put their correct return address on mail they send out. Many students have not done so, he said, and '"hundreds of letters" have come to the office of the dean of student affairs for delivery. ' The Post Office doesn't give di lectory service," he said. and let ters addressed simply to 'University of North Carolina' won't be deliver ed to the student here. Jefferies said several people in his office have been working on get ting the mail to the proper destina tion but that such delivery "some times takes a week or more." are annonneed. then stimilatin? responsible to the president of the ;ctl ,v . irc arriil1ffiv An an in.

Roll is called, minutes are read, committee reports are heard, and old and new business is explored. The main feature ofhe meeting Is a discussiqn on "house gocd and welfare." At this time pledges are dis cussed, complaints about th$ menu INFIRMARY dividual basis. If, after the pledge has com pleted his pre-initiation period, h? has been able to adjust to his fra ternity policies and practices, he is given an opportunity to "dc pledge."
