VOLUME LXVI NO. 4) Complete W Wre Se7tice I I I P fa.laM i Darwin's Time More Serene' Says Dr. Fitch By MARY ALICE ROWETTE ' "Why did Charles Darwin feel so serene about the question of evol ution and we are the ones who live in the age of anxiety." This question was asked Wednes day by Dr. Robert Pitch, dean of the Pacific School of Religion. Dr. Fitch, giving the second of two lectures sponsored by the Wes ly Foundation, answered the ques tion by listing four things Darwin had which, he said, are missing in modern civilization: 1. An absolute belief In the rule of the moral law. a. The universal way of the Brit ish Empire. Aft exjVmely devoted wife v.no nad no interest other than waiting on her husband. 4. An absolute confidence that everything in history and evolution like the novels that were read- must come to a happy ending. uur world is a more troubled one," he said, and is "less sure of iL basic convictions than the world id which Darwin lived. "We are, therefore, bound to be more disturbed by the deeper im plications of Darwin'a teaching." Dr. Fitch spoke Tuesday night on "The Decline and Fall of Sex."

Six IDC Court Amendments Approved By Dorm Council By RON SHUMATE The IDC Wednesday night ap proved six amerdments to the recently-approved bylaws of the IDC court. An amendment to the "Pro posed Dormitory Intramural Man agers Program" was also approved. Voting on proposed additions to the IDC bylaws was postponed un til the next meeting. The new court bylaws were ap Droved last month and provided for individual dormitory courts and a jury trial system. The new system is not yet in effect. FACULTY MEMBERS COMMENT Unlimited The present class cut system drew comment from several Caro lina faculty members last week. Under a rule approved last year, class cuts may vary in number from none to unlimited, depending on each instructor. 'ALWAYS IRRITATED' "I am alwayc irritated by the idea that cutting rules are some thing we have to have," Dr. John C. Kunstman, chairman of the -Dept. of Germanic Languages, comment ed. "Attendance should never be a problem; any rules governing 'the student to insure his going to class belong in kindergarten," he added. In the opinion of several profes sors, the present policy is as near as it can be to having no rules con cerning class cuts. TVO SECTIONS The legislation now in effect is in two sections. of the Men's Club of the Chapel of St. Thomas More. Tickets for the event are $1.00 for children 12 and under, $1.50 for students, $2 00 for adults and $5.00 for patrons, and may be purchased at Damiger's. cisions to come back to school or go into service. Director of Placement Joe M. Galloway said job getting during 1S57-58 was "definately affected by the recession." ' Galloway addd: "What had been a senior's market was now an employ es' market."

The court will also try cases involving violations of rules by dorm officers. The amendments approved Wed nesday night included the notify ing of defendants, by the court chairman, of tho defendants' "right (See IDC, page 3) Cuts "Regular class attendance is a student obligation ... no right or privilege exists which permits a student to be absent . . . ." says the first part . . The second section requires in structors to keep attendance rec ords in all classes. If a student misses three consec utive class meetings, according to the regulation, or misses more classes than the instructor deems advisable, "the instructor will re port the facts to the student's aca demic dean for appropriate action." CALLS AT ATTENTION The ' "three consecutive class meeting" rule "merely calls to the attention of the administration that the whereabouts of the stu dent should be checked," Faculty Dean James L. Godfrey wrote in a letter tcf the faculty last February. In that letter he said reporting CHAPEL HILL, NORTH ed that indications are that the recession now is over, and both out-of-state firms in substantially in creasing numbers are beginning to send representatives to Chapel Hill to interview graduating seniors. Although salaries were lower for most graduates this past year, there were exceptions. For instance, bus iness was still looking for men of special talents and training. Graduates of the Master of Bus iness Administration program re ported starting salaries of slightly above the previous year. Starting salaries for MBA graduates were $437 a month, or nine dollars higher than in 1956-1957. During the year companies seeking employees made fewer visits to the campus, 319 as compared to 2S& In 1956-57.' The ten percent decrease tells only a part of the story. Some national organizations who had previously hired several hundred were hiring only thirty or forty; Galloway stressed that his figures do not show all graduates who got jobs, but only those who made their contacts through the Place ment Service. Others got jobs ' on their own. However, Galloway believes the Placement Bureau's figures are rea listic and reveal the general trend e m . vi employment ,ior tne one-year period from September, 1957 to Oct ober, 1958.

One department chairman, who asked that his identity be with held cast his doubts on this being the prime reason for reporting the student. He cited a case where a regular absentee was reported1 under the regulations and the instructor was told that "the proper authorities" were not concerned with the stu dent's absence 'unless disciplinary action was involved." NEEDED TREATMENT On checking into the case the department head discovered that the student was in need of psychi atric treatment which involved withdrawing from the University for a rest. .

Nearly all freshman-sophomore courses still retain the old "three cuts and no more" rule, although the faculty has officially repealed it ' TWd bUTSP'QKEM Dr. C. Hugh Holman, chairman of the English Dept., said he does not believe "a departmental re quirement concerning cuts in freshman-sophomore course in any way conflicts1 with either the word ing of the spirit of present legis lation.

Drama Group Meets Today To Pick Script Today at 2 p.m. in Graham Me m or lal the Drama Committee of GMAB will meet to select a play for the first production. The play is tentatively set for two weeks alter Thanksgiving. Any student may submit a play, poetry, dramatic reading, or stu dent written one-act plays to "the committee for consideration at the Friday meeting. Those interested in any phase of drama, from acting, staging, di recting, to any other parts of play production, have been urged to attend the meeting. Student di rectors will be used for the play. The GMAB Drama Committee provides both an outlet for all stu dents interested in drama and en tertainment for the student body, according to Graham Adams, com mittee chairman. The committee will produce as many plays during the year as their budget will allow, he said. Although the approval of GM's director must be secured for using the physical facilities, plays are produced entirely by students. The functions of the committee have been outlined as: to select plays, poetry and dramatic read ings for production; to select di rectors, stage managers and other positions concerning production and to assume executive duties during rehearsal and production. BETTER ON OWN The student can be helped by, getting out and studying and learn ing for himself. ". . . if he (the stu dent) has something more useful and productive to do than attend a lecture once in awhile, I see no reason .why he shouldn't absent himself." .Dr. Holman said, "If you were to ask me if I like the present sys tem I'd say no. If you then asked me what kind of a system I'd want, I'd say none. And then, if you ask ed me if I thought it would work at UNC I'd say no." He said the system of unlimited cuts would not work at UNC but does at other schools (Yale, Har vard and Oberlin for example) be cause "perhaps they (the other schools) have more responsible stu dent bodies." Most of the faculty members in terviewed said they wished a sys - Mice in Graham Memorial Fines will start immediately. There are 403 meters, both single and dual, in the downtown area. "I imagine they will be here in a month." John S. Bennett, of oper ations for the University, said yes terday. The new phones will be installed for a trial period in' Battle, Old East, the second and third floors of Mangum, third floor of Old West and third floor Aycock. During the past few years campus phones have suffered a great deal of damage, especially the cords," Student Body President Don Furtad" said yesterday. "We want to stress the care of these new phones." The amount of care given "new phones will determine weather or not all dorms will get them and how soon, Furtado said ' , He discussed the trouble with old type phones without booths as being two fold. Cords are being stretched and broken constantly by students who drop the receivers and leave then! swinging while they go to get the person being called. And lack of insulation around the phone makes for a noisy .telephone while ringing. ' ' The new "hear-hear" phone booths will offer added privacy with their projecting insulated walls and will save cords, Director of Operations Bennett said. "It's surprising how private they are, " he added. Each new phone has a platform for the receiver and phone book while not in use. Action was started last week when Furtado wrote a letter to Bennett requesting the new phones. In a special conference this week a decision to install the phones was reached by the following people who attended: Ruby Edwards, IDC presi dent; Jim Crownover, chairman of the campus stores" commission: Ralph Cummings; vice president of the student body; John Brooks, pres idential assistant; Sam Magill assis tant dean of student affairs, and Bennett. The cost of each phone will be $125 complete. Furtado said yesterday, "We hope that the new phones will result in a definate decrease in damage and at the 'same time will allow students to carry on conversations with a minimum disturbance to those who are on the floor." The IDC will be responsible for prosecuting all students who damage the new phones, he said: tem of unlimited cuts were possi ble. SYSTEM FORCED They pointed out that attendance requirements at UNC are "paren tal," but they admitted that such requirements are necessary for "our typical student body." Conversely, no faculty member reported any problems concerning attendance. They said it is "useless and tiresome to talk about class cuts. Dr. Holman, who has taught un der four different systems of vary ing amounts of free'dom for the students, said his class attendance has never shown any difference. "We should be concerned with more important things than cuts," he said. "However, an irresponsi ble student body often forces a faculty to become overly paren- .taL' But FOUR PAGES THIS ISSUE rrT Bill Passed To Formulate Yack Policy The student Legislature last night went on record as favoring the abol ition of discriminatory clauses in passing a revised version of a two week old bill introduced by Gary Greer (SP). The passage of the bill puts the Student Legislature on record as being . opposed to discriminatory clauses, while it also advocates that no organization possessing discrim inatory clauses on campus be denied recognition. Another bill by Greer proposing that honor council junior-be select ed from the campus at large was tabled again that the body might consider amendments to the bill pro posed by Norman Smith (Ind.) and John Brooks (SP). A bill by John Brooks (SP) asking for a definate policy toward the publishing of the Yackety Yack was passed after the body deleted Artic les III and TV. The deleted articles would have had student government make refunds to organizations al ready included in the Yack that paid above $50 per page. The amendment proposed to Gary Greer's bill revis ing the system of Honor Council juror selection would strengthen the position of the defendant. Jurors called under the random selection system who failed to ap pear would lose their right to vote in student goverment elections and" their right to hold student gover-... ment offices, unless they were ex cused by the attorney general. Also under the proposed amend ments the defendant's councel could participate actively in the defendant. Both the defendent and the investi gator could question and dismiss any junior whom he found unaccept able. Jurors could only serve for one session each acedemic year. v The bill on discriminatory clauses as originally proposed by Bary Greer would have elected an amend ment to the NSA basic policy de claration stating that "while the student legislature might possibly like to see the abolition of discrimi natory clauses, it does not advocate denying recognition to those organ izations on campus which have dis criminatory clauses in their nation al charters." Other action by the legislature included the acceptance of Jim Crownover to the seat of Walter Keck (SP). The seat will expire this fall. Tickets To Jazz Concert At UVa. Are Available University Club Trip Chairman Dick Olive announced Wednesday that special arrangements have been made with the University of Virginia Jazz Club to insure UNC students jazz concert tickets. All students who want tickets to the concert may sign up for them either with Olive at the Chi Psi lodge (890Q2) or at the GMAB information desk.
