This bill was made n ccssarv by a recent ruling by thc Student Council that the authority to appoint editors had never been formally granted to the Publications Board, and that until the legislature granted them that power, their appointments were unconstitutional.

Carolina Symposium Ed Levy Symposium Chairman The 1960 Carolina Symposium concerns you; it concerns you, an individual in the world today; it concerns you, a member of the educational community centered around the University of North Carolina. Certainly, according to the very concept of a symposium, i.e., a series of addresses, discussions, or seminars having a central theme, one cculd say "H con cerns you" if you merely attend the sessions. However, the con cern of the 1960 Carolina Sym posium has for you goes a great . deal deeper as the theme indi cates: The Images of Man: The ItKlividual in an Accelerating Cul ture. This symposium proposes to examine the various concepts of man and to debate his place in a society in which every aspect is undergoing rapid transition. We fir.d that not only are there dif ferent interpretations of the changes in all culture, but that the underlying concept of man has been challenged. The traditional image of man as a rational child of God has been distorted by new doctrines; he is a puppet on Marx's environmental string; a hairless ape, a descendant of Dar win's scheme of fang and claw; a blind creature driven by Freud's "Id." In our accelerating culture is the individual's relationship to the society his role modified? Are we progressng toward a so ciety in which the place cf the individual coincides with a num ber in a memory bank of a giant computer? Are we to have a num ber stamped on our forehead at birth and proceed through life' as a side of beef through a packing house? We wish to discuss wheth er we prefer inlividuality or an onymity, whether a faceless so ciety is in our future. Thus, the Symposium concerns you, an in dividual in the world today. Being a joint undertaking of the students, faculty and administra tion of the University of North Carolina, and interested residents of Chapel Hill, the Symposium concerns you. a member of the educational community. It is only through the efforts of many members of this community that the xveek long (March 27 April V program will take place. Therefore, we are calling on you to lend your support, by volunteer ing for a Symposium committee. Among the arrangements to be made by the committees are the following: classroom and depart mental seminars, statewide radio and television converage, newspa per and magazine publicity, ex hibits, social hospitality, and hand books and brochures. If you are interested in apply ing for a Symposium committee, please stop by the Student Govern ment office in Graham Memorial curing the week of October 12. and sign up for an interview. Meaning Of Education By DEAN FRED H. WEAVER 1 ' (This is the final phase of Dan Fred H. Weav er's address to the incoming students at F'eshmap Camp in the fall of 1758. It merits your closet attention. Editor) i If I could name the thing which I most desire every student who comes to the University, it is tliat he be profundhy touched by the transforming and liberating power of learning and so affected Jby teachers, books, and college lif as to becomei a self-mctivated student, a seif-sufficient individual. It is not reasonable to expect that this will happen to all; but it is possible for many and essential to any real understanding of the meaning of education. Somewhere along the line something quite re markable must happen, something so vivid that its impact is unmistakable. Perhaps you will take French literature, and if you really understand Voltaire, Vigny, or Chateaubriand, you will find that you hsr.' entered a new realm of thought. Terhsps the mean ing of "Dover Beach" will come across to you quite suddenly and you will discover that a poem con tains the power to transform. "In a right angle tri angle the square on the hypotenuse is equal to tjhc sum of squares on the other two legs" you will re cite. Possibly one day you xvill decide that memory is net sufficient authority for knowledge and strive to see the fact as Pythagoras himself saw it wilt ing in the sand. Such experiences are rare atid memorable. But they are the promise of learnig more than a grade of A, more even than Phi Eta Virrr TrVin TToote at tlio lam nitpli nf Yppm4 from reading Chapman's translation of Homer wrAte an ode which expresses the thrill of intellectual dis covery. GEMS OF THOUGHT Children sometimes tear it up, but they seldom break up a home. The man who tries to please ev erybody shows little respect for his own way of thinking. Slow down the man in a hurry always passes up more opportuni ties than he catches up with. There wouldn't be much wrong with little white- lies if the teller didn't sooner or later become color blind. Take things as they come the past is gone, tomorrow is an un certainty, and today is no sure thing.

No cne can say all the meanings of education, ut I have come as close as I know how to saying some thing of its quality. To me the moment of dawnin? truth is at least the taste of Liberal Education, th witness of its intrinsic worth, the only admissitk 'proof" of education. .-i To be sure, you are under the necessity of choos ing a vocation and preparing for it. I cannot empha size too much the desirability of determining upon your life's work at the earliest possible moment, for success in one's work is a measure of education. But there is a meaning of education which is above ani beyond vocation and which imparts power to any vocation. It is a liberating power. It is the meaning of the University motto: Lux et Libertas. I have not of late years been much impressedby statements purporting to define or describe an edu cated man. I suppose it has been fifteen years sir.?? I reacted with anything more than respectful at tention to such efforts that is, fifteen years before this past June. At Commencement this June cur baccalaureae preacher was Dr. Albert Outler of Southern Meth odist University. I was rather surprised when inhe course of his sermcm I heard him say, "Let -rn describe an educated person as briefly as I can " "What," I thought to mvlf. "does he think he i doing? Will he be so foolhardy as to try to t-.i the assembled graduating class and many of the faculty what an educated person is"'" I have it hre. I think you will agree thft he was not foolhardy. He is a man who has come to love the truth and to live by it, he has learned how to l?arn and has acquired a real appetite for disciplined in quiry; he is a man whose learning has bound him to the common good and has loosed hira from his natural bad habits of pre-judgment and borrowed judgment. He is a man whose courage lifts him above conformity to the crowd and compels him to a creative maladjustment in any "normal" society, jnd whose intelligence is the instrument of his love. lie belongs to a family, a race, a class, a land, a nation but he loves all these within a higher loyalty to God and the greatest good. He is a man whose mo rality springs from a source higher than his super-ego and flows up from a deep love of the right beyond mere calculation. This is what our schools are for: to furnish the nation and the nations with men and women of this spirit and this mind. This is what our churches are for: to call men of reason to the life of faith and to "unite the pair so long disjoined.", knowledge and vital piety." The most important question before you now is whether your school and 5'our church have prepared you for the Time Being and the crisis at its further end. Now, to summarize, I have made three sugges tions: read, think, act. I have said that if yeu d.- these things diligently something will happen to you whereby the meaning of education will reveal it self to you and you will know what the purpose of education is. That is a marvelous thing to have hap pen. And I think you have come to a good place to have it happen to you. e 1 '!
