YOUNG FRANK CROWTHER HAROLD OTIIEL RON SHUiUTK walker"bCnton krkiFk atzin Legislature ANTHONY WOLFF ANNE FR YE Roundup By DAVE JONES "The first session of the 27th as sembly of the SiuJent Legisla'me of the University of North Caro lina will come to order." So spoke Student Body Vice President Ralph Cummings Thursday niyht. Within a few nvnutes the Cluip lain had given the invocation, tlu4 minutes had been dispensed with, and Erwin Fuller, the Chairman of the Student Council, was swearing in the new officers. First he called Bob Bingham, then Sue Wood, then David Grig. As soon as Grigg was pronounced to be the vice president. Ralph Cum mings rose fiom tlu' vice presi dent's chair, shook hands with his successor, and walked to the back of the room to join Don Furtado. who had a few brief minutes as president left. Charlie Gray was called and sworn in. As soon as lie was pronounce 1 president by Fuller, Giay walked up to the rostrum and read his State of the Campus mes.;ae. David Grigg had a brief word to say to the new legislature about the coming year. Then he swore in the newly-elected and re-elected mmbecs of the legislature. Mo.st .significant and most ex citing was the election of legisla tive officers. This is called organ ization. In the U. S. Congress it is done strictly on party lines and by Minority. Here these two rule. are so blurred as to be almost in distinguishable. (Who among you can name the senior SI' in the legislature?) Ghosts of the recent pa.st were on everyone's mind aj they made their nominations in caucus and on the floor of the legislature for speaker pro tempore. This position has been held in recent years by such people as Charlie I'ittinan now pie.i:ient of Phi Delta Theta. Al Goldsmith champion of many campus bat tles. Gary R. Gicer 'the author oi the first tome on deterred rush, John Iirooks, and Norman Barret t Smith. Jim Scott of Dorm Men's II was elected as the new speaker pro tempore. Jim meets the require quirements of the of lice. He is gen uinely respected by the members of the legislature. He knows how to conduct himself at all times, in and out of the speaker's chair. Committee chairmanships are val uable offices. They offer the hod crs a perch from which to make utterances that are news. They ate excellent training ground for fut ure, higher otlices. The chairman ship of the Ways and Means com mittee was most recently held by Norman B. Smith. The chairman of the new, year long, 27th assem bly Is Bob Nobles, one of the four representatives who represent the boys in Avery Dorm. Lovely Ann Lucas was the most recent chairman of the Rules com mittee. She was kucceeded by Ed Cox. Ed is one of the Student Farty freshmen legislators. This oflers him a chance to make a name for himself, even it he u'oesn't have the physical attributes oi his piedecessor. Gordon Street was re-elected chairman of the F.nance Commit tee. Street himself was abseat. He is in the inf.rmary, but neverthe less he defeated Swag Grimsley of the Student Party 23-11. Maxine Green! itld. an old friend of the elections board, was unan imously chosen as cleik of the new legislature. (I'll bet she wishes she had never paid the five dollars v.hen she starts cu:ting stencils on the 14 bills introduced by the body Thursday night.) The Floor Leaders are Jack Law ing for the UP and Jim Crowriover for the SP. Of the 14 bills introduced last night, three were ordered passed by special orders. One of these, BF-27-14. was written while the others were being read. It was a bill to let The Daily Tar Heel transfer $'J.9J from its profits to its photography budget. ,Why $9 iy? The rules of the legislature require a week's con sideration of any bill have to do with more than ten dollars. The DTH Is in desperate need of funds for photos and a week's run with out them would not have made the readers or the Editor of the DTH very happy. "Can You Afford 25 A Head For Us?" New President Speaks Gray's Inaugural Address (This is the first of three parts of Charlie Gray's inaugural spt-ech to the Student Legislature last Thursday night. Ed.) April 16, 19.")), we stop and look at student government at U.N.C. After a short analysis, one cannot help but be very proud of the stu dent accomplishments on this cam pus. Through the years, student government has grown from a small handful of students still hesi tant from faculty control to the large, autonomus, and respected organization that exist today. Mature, responsible, and repre sentative action by past student leaders has brought about this pres ent status. The students now tax themselves, provide their own en tertainment, solve student prob lems, initiate new ideas and needs, and most of all stimulate their classmates to search for truth, knowledge, and understanding which may be utilized in creating a better universitv a better state, and a better world. These high ideals and beliefs of Carolina student government must be continued, moreover, broadened and strengthened to assure the stu dents the right of expression, initia tive, and self-government in the years to come. I dedicate myself and my administration to the at tainment of these goals. There are many areas of student government and student life that need immediate attention. It is im possible to mention all these areas or forsee the problems that will arise in the future. A satisfactory solution to the needs facing the students today is impossible to predict. Student gov ernment can only mention these problem areas and devote all its efforts to correcting the situations. The one area that must be strengthened first is the line of communication between student government and the student body. No administration can be a success unless the students are aware of f 5 - - I 4 V the aims and actions of their stu dent leaders. With all the intrica cies of college life, this line of communication tends to weaken or even break. To help strengthen these lines, I plan to have a very active cabinet, composed of people whose sole pur pose will be to act as a liason be tween student government and the various areas of the campus. By having weekly meetings with this group I hope to be able to see the needs of the whole campus as well as relate my plans to the students. I also plan to have a regular arti cle in The Daily Tar Heel that will give the president a chance to ex press his ideas to the campus. The final method to strengthen the communication lines will be in the hands of the student legislators. I sincerely hope each of you will make an attempt to keep in con stant contact with the students in your district, inform them of the legislature's action and get their opinions on the various matters: This would increase the interest in and the knowledge of student government immensely. One of the largest and most im portant segments of our campus is in definite need of help from stu- Golden Speaks Patterns Of Communication Fifty years ago my Orthodox mother said that Judaism in America was doomed; the kosher butchers were too careless, the American rabbis were beginning to shave, and the men and boys were no longer saying their prayers three times a day. My mother would be greatly sur prised today. Fifty years later we not only have chocloate matzos, but we also have Elizabeth Taylor. And not only Elizabeth Taylor. Marilyn Monroe too. Now all we need is Jayne Mansfield and we'll have it made. I am organizing a special UJA Jayne Mansfield Schol arship Fund. Right Man Down at Cape Canaveral, where the missiles are launched, live a whole group of scientists, psycholo gists and doctors who spend all their time trying to find the right man whom they will launch to ward the moon when the time comes. They have filed thousands of index cards describing top phys ical volunteers. Machines constant ly process these findings. The list of available candidates is now down to fifty, and eventually this concerted hunt will narrow down to one man, physically sound, psycho logically right and smart. Truly, he will be a mens sana in corprore sano. But there is something ab surd about the purpose of this team. Having found the perfect man. it seems the last place they should send him is to the moon. Rather they ought to keep him there, to help propagate the race. They ought to shoot off the least qualified man, because we need the best man like we never needed him before. Harry Golden dent government. This segment Ls the traternal organizations. Be cause of a certain amount of lax ness on the part of fraternities and because if the beliefs of an increas ing number of people, the future ol Greek organtzations at Carolina could be dim, unless something is done. This is where student government can be of great assistance. 1 plan to work with the IFC to present a program that, will help fraternities prove to everyone that they are not harmful to any student, but are a definite asset to college life. Such a program would consist of more stress on scholastics, more faculty teas and discussions, steps to improve relations between fra ternity and non-fraternity men, a broader program of informal rush during second semester and other steps that prove necessary. If fra ternities are to keep their present rush system and ultimately their high status, they must take immed iate action. There is much room for improve ment in the dormitory life of our campus. Because of the age of many of our dormitories and be cause of inadequatics of our student union, there now exist a definite shortage of social facilities for the dormitory men. An adequate social rounded education. Until we can life is one of essentials of a well acquire permanent accommoda tions, student government must seek to alleviate the social need as best possible. I plan to strengthen the IDC's social program, continue the coed visiting agreements, and investi gate the possibility of converting some of our present dorm base ments, which are now used for storage, into temporary social rooms. If this latter point is to be come a reality, it will require hard work and co-operation among stu dent government, the IDC, and the university administration. (To Be Continued) Hemingway Ernest Hemingway, replying to a question concerning the best in tellectual training for the would be writer, said: "Let's say that he should go out and hang himself be cause he finds that writing well is impossibly difficult. Then he should be cut down without mercy and forced by his own self to write as well as he can for the rest of his life. At least he will have the story of the hanging to commence with." The Paris Review Driving Letter Editor: It is only a matter of time before the first traffic fatality will occur in Victory Village. When it does, it is a good bet that the victim will be a child under five years of age, and the driver of the car in volved will have been guilty of ex ceeding the established speed limits in Victory Village. The responsible parties are the residents of Victory Village (the main transgressors) and lax atti tude of the man against Victory Village who ignore these trans gressions, and the Chapel Hill Pol ice Dept. who permit these offenses to go unpunished. The solution is simple: Post the speed regulations at both entrances to the Village with a stern warning that they will be enforced. Enforce the regulations with a few tickets to emphasize the fact that this is no idle threat. Notification by the management of the Village that residents who dis regard the traffic regulations will be ineligible to maintain Village residency. This will save some youngster's life.

The awards are given in the ofilowing fields: (1) Public Seivitr and Interest Campaigns; (2) Corporate Cam paigns; (3) Public Relations Campaigns; ij, TV and Radio Citations; and (5) Spcti.il Citations. We applaud their original idea and intention auid hope that they will influent r the quality of and integrtiy behind adveit ly ing of the future. There is an admirable idea behind tlu-sc awards. "Because Saturday Review is cortin ually concerned with the communications pattern in the United States, it has observe.! with deep interest the progressive develop ment of advertising as a medium of idea com munication, a much more subtle skill ewn than the communication of news. It was bom awareness of this development in institu tional advertising that SR decided originu lv it would be in the public interest to recog nize distinguished and responsible adiicc ment in this field of communication." The awards committee included men of various fields: the director of U.S.I.A.; :ni vertising managers, editors and publishers professors and deans of business administra tion, law and journalism; and men in the employment of big business itself. Tlieie were 24 members of the committee. The top public-interest and service awards went to Weyerhaueser Timber Company lor their campaign on scientific tree-farming and conservation as a means of assuring a per petual supply of wood for America, and n the Metropolitan Life Insurance Compauy "for its avmpaijm of many years effectieh discussing health and disease in constructive, informative atrd sober terms . . ." The top award for corporate campaigns was shared by Coining Gttw Woiks (second year running) "for dramatizing (their) ic search and development role ... in creating versatile types of glass for an increasing num ber of consumer and industrial uses' and Esso Research R: Engineering Co. for "uried achievements of their research progiam in finding new uses for oil, as well as impioin,r their basic petroleum products." The public relations award went to the Commonwealth uf Puerto Rico for their pre sentation if the "many-faceted appeals ami advantages of the island's life, culture and economy to persons on the mainland who are contemplating visiting, living or woikin there." We were most interested in the a wauls in the field of TV and Radio. There were seven awards to the following programs: (1) NBC News (Huntley-Brinkley); (2) Playhouse it (hurrah!); (4) The Metropolitan Opera; Small World; (",) Leonard Bernstein and the New York Philharmonic Orchestra; (0) 1 he Moiseyev Dancers; and (7) Disneyland. It is significant that five of these programs arc what is normally referred to as "cultural shows. They were cited for their "finest mo ments of the year," "maintaining a high standard of musical taste',' breaking through the parochial barriers and subject matter, and "proving that education, entertainment and impeccable taste are not necessarily in compatible." Finally, the special citation, long overdue, to Edward R. Murrow "for focussing sym bolically in his person and career the great crisis of the television industry at a time of national need for enlightenment when self examination by those who control the tre mendous television medium is most urgent and necessary; for his notable speech to the industry on its responsibility to inform as well as entertain the American people at a time when this nation is in a death struggle for survival; for his repeated proven capaci ty to create shows on both television and ra dio that stretch the mind of his audience while also informing and interesting them, and for personifying in large measure what television could and should be as a medium of public communication in the United States." We may only add that we wish Mr. Mor row could be divided into a dozen Murrows, 'all of equal stature. And our congratulations to Saturday Review for a fine public service of its own. ' Big Boom Last week the editor and two of his asso ciates were privileged to see a USAF film. "The Air Force and the H-Bomb," on loan from the local AFROTC detachment to the campus Y.' This film will be shown tonight at Carroll Hall, and we urge you to see it. The paradox of our time is that the finest young Americans upright, decent, law-abiding are the men who hold in their hands the awful power to blow up the world. The ancient dream of a heaven on earth is now recognized to be impossible; however, HELL on earth is all too possible and all too pro bable. This paradox is illuminated in this superb film. See you at Carroll Hall. mtniWMi,iiiiii' w i i lit,.
