A graduating senior from New York City, Chadabe's major in the Freshmen Cabinet And Deferred Rush, Study Halls, Orientation By JOILN .FBYE Several months ago, the officers of the freshman class organized the Freshman Cabinet, a committee to act as an advisory board to the officers. A group of 25 representa tive students were selected to meet weekly for the past three months to discuss problems and projects of the class. Since the cabinet was organized Luck? It is with great disappointment that the staff of the Daily Tar Heel announce that this is the last is sue of the paper. The editor and managing editors wish to extend their cordial invitations to attend all exams without your usual cross word puzzle and cup of coffee. We are as sorry as can be but we have enjoyed trying to serve you and hope you all the success in the world. i r I 4 -'i lit v L--J -1 i K( NEW DI-PHI Thti ntw officers of the merged Dialectic and Philanthropic Literary Society rep resent an historic development in the long history of debating and forensics at UNC: (left to right), Fred Parker, sergeant-at-arms; Ron Pruitt, parliamentarian; Gary Greer, president pro-tem; Hobart Steels, re cording clerk, and Glenn Johnson, critic. Seated is David Matthews, new president. Not pictured is an other officer, Stan Black, treasurer. Photo by Peter Ness Dialectic Senate & Philanthropic Society Merge After 164 Years Of Separate Meetings By HOBART STEELE The Dialectic Senate and the Philanthropic Literary Society have merged to form the Dialectic and Philanthropic Literary Society. Action came Tuesday night when Di President Gary Greer made a fervent appeal to the Phi for in corporation of the Di into it. Phi President John Brooks followed the appeal with' a bill for incorpora tion which would clarify the mer ger. Greer's appeal was made with a realization that the membership of the two societies might dwindle to complete uselessnejiS. At the time of his presentation, the Di had 12 Wins Award Music Department is piano. While at Carolina he has com posed the music for the Carolina Playmakers production of "Peer Gynt" and has conducted Peter Ford's music for a petite mosicale. He has also studied during the sum mer at the Aspen Music colony in Colorado. The Percy Craven Weeks Award has been given each year by the local Sig Ep chapter since 1950 in memory of a brot-her who died in an airplane crash in 1949. relatively late in the semester, it has been limited in carrying out its proposed projects. The cabinet was prevented, for example, from hav ing a Freshman WC-UNC Day, on which the WC freshmen would visit Chapel Hill and would be enter tained at a picnic, talent show and combo party. The cabinet did not have time to hold a program promoting attend ance at freshman athletic events and a program promoting partici pating in minor ;pcrts. The cabinet, however, recently gzive support to the scholarship pro gram sponsored by the classes of '60, '61 and '62. Since this scholar ship will be in honor of one of the outstanding leaders of North Caro lina, the cabinet members decided to help with that effort. Realizing that the student sup port was needed to fight for in creased University budget appro priations, the cabinet wrote person members and the Phi, 20. After a series of story debates last week the new society was form ed by an unanimous vote, and the Phi Constitution was amended as prevailing basis for the organiZa-had tion. The first president of the new society is David Matthews from the Phi; the first president pro tem is Gary Greer of the Di. Other officers of Di-Phi are. Recording Clerk Hobart Steele, Critic Glenn ' Johnson, Sergeant - at Arms Fred Parker and Parliamentarian Ron Pruitt. Di Hall and its offices are to be used by the Di-Phi, and the Phi pin and cuts have been adopted. The Forensic Council, which ap proved the merger, and its mem ber organizations (including the Carolina Forum, State Student Legislature and Debate Squad) will use the Phi offices. The Di-Phi will retain complete jurisdiction of the hanging of por traits and retain the ownership of the portraits and other furnish ings. Any changes or additions to the merger wiil be jointly approved by the Di-Phi. The Dialectic Senate and Phi lanthropic Literary Society were both organized in 1795, the year when the doors of the University were open for students. About 1813 the two societies merged into the Concord Society which met in a room in the Library. al letters to state legislators. When the controversy over ferred rush was brought up de this spring, the cabinet immedialely be gan to investigate all aspects cf a program which would pertain mainly to freshmen. A question naire on rush was distributed to a cross section of the freshmen. The results showed 91 per cent of the students were opposed to deferred rush of any kind. Only 42 per cent indicated they had had enough time during last fall's rush to make a wise decision. However, 19 per cent said they wish they had waited until a later time to pledge. Fifty-three per cent noted that they didn't have suffi cient knowledge about fraternities when rush began, but 98 per cent said they had suffered no disappont ments which affected their acade mic work during the first semester. . . 1 1 1 :A f s f "J , The societies later occupied separate halls when New East and New West were built in 1858. At this time the walls were adorned by portraits of their members who obtained honors in the world. The life-size oil portraits are the largest and most important collec tion in North Carolina of eminent men. In 1925 the old halls were reno vated, and the old chairs and lights removed. The Di was furnished desks and chairs while the Phi was furnished with folding chairs which are still in use. Years ago membership in one or other of the societies was com pulsory. Today membership in them is voluntary, but limited to 50. Sound & Fury Music Al Salley, producer of this year's Sound and Fury show, "Oh Hellas," announced this week that plans are being made to have the music from the production reproduced on 33 13 rpm, long playing records for sale to interested persons. Salley said the price of the rec ords had not been definitely deter mined, but it would probably not exceed $4. Persons ordering the record will be billed before the end of the year. The record will be mailed to the buyer sometime dur ing the early part of the summer. All interested persons are asked to contact the GMAB office in Gra ham Memorial as soon as possible. Thanks Elsie Prevatte, graduate student in recreation curriculum, said Mon day she appreciated the coopera tion of 400 undergraduate students for filling out questionnaires in her Survey of Leisure Interests and Leisure Pursuits. She also thanks members and presidents of the Women's Resi dence Council, Panhellenic Council, IDC and IFC, who administered the questionnaires. G. M.

For the Tar Heels it was an eve ning of frustration as to a great degree they defeated themselves by yielding four unearned runs and committing five errors. What hurt even worse was the fact that Carolina had overcome a 4-0 Clemson lead in the fifth inning with a four-run rally to capture the lead in the game at 7-5. This two run margin stood up until the Tiger eighth, when Bill Wilhelm's crew put together two hits and three walks to tally three times and take the lead. The Tar Heel defeat marked the second time in two years that they have lost the conference crown to Clemson in a playoff here at Sims Legion Park. Phi Delta Kappa Elects Officers The newly elected officers of Phi Delta Kappa are: James W. Bat ten, president; John H. Best, vice president; and David J. Irvine, sec retary and treasurer; Luther R. Taff and John B. Chase, - faculty sponsors. Phil Delta Kappa, an internation al professional fraternity in educa tion, conducts an active program of research, leadership and serv ice. Its commissions deal with school desegration problems, inter national education, and selective recruitment of teachers. The official journal of the frater nity, the Phi Delta Kappan, is con sidered one of the nation's leading magazines of educational opinion. Bulletin Bill Davis, chairman of the Pub lications Board, announced Monday that Nancy Combes and Arthur Lessing have been appointed co editcrs of next years Carolina Quarterly. They were appointed by the Eng lish department and approved by the Publications Board. Their du ties will begin with the first edition to be printed next September. Ycickety-Yack s Ready For Distribution The appearance of the Carolina blue and white bound Yackety-Yack is another clue to the fact that the year is quickly drawing to a close. Editor Cameron Cooke has an nounced that students may pick up their Yacks at the windows outside the Rendezvous Room today begin ning at 2 p.m. and WTednesday morning. After Wednesday Yacks may be obtained at the Information desk at Graham Memorial. Cooked asked the Yack staff members" to pick up their copies at 2 p.m. in the Yack Office today. The 59 Yackety-Yack is, as in past years, largely a picture book. There are pictures of pretty girls, fraternities, Chapel Hill, "big Wheels, (and little wheels), sorori ties, sports and the million and one things that make up this complex ity known as the University of North Carolina. No one but students at UNC would have anything but remote interest in the book, but, for stu dents, it represents a year of work and play which the Yack will help them remember in years to come. ... ...... t Graduation Program Schedule Announced The following is a schedule of events for the I65th Commence ment Program here Saturday, Sunday and Monday, May 30, 31 and June 1: SATURDAY, MAY 30 Class Reunion Suppers Open-Air Reception for seniors, parents, alumni and faculty Music and refreshments Kessing Pool SUNDAY, MAY 31 Degree Candidates gather at Old Well (Caps and Gowns) Baccalaureate Sermon Memorial Hall Dr. H.
