No Cars Here For Freshmen Or Low Sophs By JANE McCORKLE Freshmen are not allowed to have ei.rs on campus. i In addition, sophomores whose I grades fall under a "C" average i.re not allowed to have cars. Oilier students who do possess motor vehicles must register them with the University at the time of t :!taJernic registration for a fee of 1 f2. ."). The sticker issued at this j time must be displayed on the car I '.vithin 4Ji hours. Students have to park off cam- j pas between the hours of 7 a.m. j 3 p.m. Monday through Friday and j 7-1 on Saturday. Parking anywhere (.n campus is legal after these ; hturs. j Adequate car spaces can be found ! in the $75,000 Bell Tower parking ' Ut. built just last year to hold 500 I c:;rs. on the streets of Chapel Hill, iiid in private areas such as fra t( rnity houses. University employed traffic po Lemen have the authority to give tickets to anyone exceeding the 20 iiiile per hour speed limit. Until 19."6 all students were al lowed to keep automobiles but bee-use oi overcrowded parking con ditions "we had to cut down," said Hay Jefferies of the Office of Stu dent Affairs. "You kids don't have it bad here at all. Our regulations about park ing are pretty reasonable. When you look at our neighbor school and see for an example how they charge $1 for the first day your car isn't registered and $10 for the second, and here you only get a warning from the Traffic Committee." The Student Traffic Court can . t , I . RAY JEFFRIES ... no freshman cars put students under parking proba tion and suspend automobile privi leges. They hear cases concerning failure to register a motor vehicle, fraudulent registration, General College students parking out of the Eell Tower lot, excessive parking tickets and failure to display the registration sticker. A recommendation is before the administration from last year's stu c"ent council now to give the Traf fic Committee more disiplinary ptwer. Staff Meeting The first staff meeting of The Daily Tar Heel will be on Wednes day, Sept. 16, at 2 p.m. All people who have worked on the paper and i.11 interested students are urged to attend. No journalistic experience is necessary to work on The Daily Tar Heel. There will be another staff meet ing on Thursday at the same time w I L L I M C. Sfudents Autonomy Freedom at Carolina? There's ots of it. But along with this freedom goes responsibility. Students here are completely on heir own during quizzes and exams, for instance. The professor or instructor does not monitor his classes during those periods. This puts the student on his hon or not to lie, cheat, or steal, the three activities forbidden by stu dent law. Aside from this and 'the fairly detailed regulations governing co eds, the rules here are few and simple. Prohibiting the three violations mentiened above is the Honor Code, which tries to encourage what is called the Honor System. Students who find being on their own too great a temptation, how ever, are likely to wind up before the Men's or Women's Honor Council. These organizations have the authority to suspend or even expel students. The Honor System, says Men's Honor Council Chairman Hugh Patterson, "gives a student the Merchants Day Merchant's Day will be held from 10 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. to day. There will be a booth at the corner of Battle-Vance-Pettigrew Dormitory, which will serve as the starting point. This dorm is located across from the Post Of fice on Franklin St. There, students will pick up contest blanks and gifts from the Merchant's Association, and then start their tour of the local busi ness district. Many merchants have individ ual gifts. The Merchant's Asso ciation is offering 25-$10.00 gift certificates. The theme of Merchant's Day will be a "misplaced item con test." All ne students are invited to participate.

This system said Patterson cur rently is taken for granted by most students here. "Carolina has not always had an Honor System," he said. "This system was initiated through the efforts of many students who felt, as we feel today, that men are basically honest and should be giv en the chance to prove themselves such." Patterson said not many students stop to think about the system's purpose. "In part, I have answered the question already. We like to think Five Carolina Men Guests Of Cubans Five Carolina students who re cently attended the Twelfth Na tional Student Congress at the University of Illinois, are just back; from a week's stay in Cuba. Included in the group are Char lie Gray, David Grigg, Bob Bing ham, John Brooks .and Curtis Gans. The five were guests of the Cu ban Student Federation, along with 185 other participants. The entire trip was paid for by the Cuban group, including round trip plane fare from New York to Havana. Other Carolina students who at tended the Congress, but declin ed to apply for the trip included: Davis B. Young, Sue Wood, Jim Scott, Joel Fleishman, Jim Crown over, and Ed Levy, who was se lected to go, but declined. Gans was also accorded another honor at tihe recent meeting, when he was elected National Affairs Vice President of USNSA. He ran against Brooks for the post Gans is a former editor of The Conference Carolina that man is a basically honest cre ature, but an individual does not inherit the qualities of integrity which society demands of its citi zens. "A person may be instructed as to those things which he should and should not do, but he can only become honorable by practicing being honorable," he said. The Honor System here gives students the chance to prove they are "basically honest," he added. The student enters an atmos phere of complete trust and he i? trusted explicitly until he shows through his actions that he is no longer worthy of that trust. "Thus, the purpose of the Hon or System are many. It gives a stu dent the chance to be honorable Daily Tar Heel and was student body president during the sum mer of 1958. In his new post, the recently graduated Tar Heel will work in the NSA National Office in Phila delphia, and will be salaried. It is a full time job, and will carry him to many sections of the country during the coming year. The NSA Congress lasted ten days this year, and included stu dents from several hundred col leges and universities. Moving from workshops and sub-committees to the general plenary ses sions, the Congres passed twenty resolutions in the final three days. Prior to the Congress, Student Body President Gray and Editor Young attended specialized con ferences dealing specifically with their positions. Another former Carolina Stu dent, Allard K. Lowenstein, spoke on his recent trip to South West Africa, several times during the Congress. He is a former Presi dent of NSA. w L I M Campus and it provides that part of an education which develops in the student qualities of character and leadership," he said. Patterson said the system here is "much above criticism as it em bodies those principles of honesty and integrity which men through out the world hold dear. "The Honor System cannot fail. Only we as students can fail. Our Honor System is only as good as the students who live under it," he said. Patterson ended with this warn ing: "Uphold it and we as students will have an institution of which we can be proud. Defame it and only we can be held responsible for the consequences. Plaudits!
