Miss Daryl Farrington, assist ant dean, of women, says "no." A Carolina coed herself a few years ago. she has interviewed over 200 junior transfers this semester, listening to their ideas and observing their attitudes to ward the University. Miss Farrington was "astonish ed" to find such a vast variety among the women students. "The girls seem much more serious now than they did when I was here," she said. Do "girls come to Carolina to find a husband? "No!" 'Miss Farrington again answers. "The majority of the coeds seem to have definite ideas about their future, and the kind of jobs they expect to gain." According to ' the Ohio Psyco logical Test that all transfer stu dents were required to take dur ing Orientation, the Carolina co ed is usually of "above average intelligence." ' - Tests also show" coeds are most interested in literature and art. They rank lowest in mechanical and clerical categories. "It's so hard to get to meet boys" is the most frequent com plaint the assistant dean has heard this year. "The guys think Celler Unpopular For Rights Stand WASHINGTON (UPI) South ern opponents Tuesday accused Rep. Emanuel Celler (D-N.Y.) of tryhig to railroad the civil rights bill through the House." They made clear they would not be stampeded. Celler, who is House manager for the rights bill, aroused south ern ire when he told the House ' Rules Committee that "we have the ammunition" to pass the bill outlawing discrimination in vot ing, schools, job hiring, publie accommodations and other areas. Rep. William M. Colmer, D Miss., told Celler he was trying to rush the measure through the House without proper considera tion. . "You have the emotional ammunition you . think will let you shoot down the " rights . and privileges of others," Colmer said. - V I . ' if : :-V... :' mmfymmmm. we're dated up weeks in advan ce," the girls say. "If you speak to them, they think you're crazy. If you don't they think you're a snob." Coeds have suggested more and better organized mixers and more frequent exchanges between dorms and fraternities. Most of the women transfers show liberal attitudes concern ing the apartment rule. "A girl has already formed her values by the time she reaches Caro lina," they argue. Others complain of inhibiting rules and ' regulations. A major concern of the women students, Miss Farrington has learned, is the lack of rapport be tween student and professors. They also seem disappointed in the academic nature of the college and the "incompetency" of some of their professors.' Still, there are coeds who are completely content with college life here. They find the campus "very friendly" and rules rather lenient. "Closing hours in girls' dorms should be earlier," one coed com mented. Generally, it seems, however, that a cold war does exisit be tween the "mythical Carolina gentlemen" and the "typical Carolina coed." Planetarium Appoints Hall Morehead Planetarium direc tor A. F. Jenzano has announced the appointment of Donald S. Hall as assistant director of the Planetarium. cince coming to the Planetar ium here in 1962, Hall has been narrating Planetarium programs, developing and writing scripts for them, building planetarium dis plays and developing special ef fects for the Planetarium.

Main Topics By PETE WALES The appointment of two faculty committees to confer with stu dents on judicial procedures and the philosophy of Student Govern ment has been recommended by the Faculty Council. Mike Lawler announced the de cision in a letter from Faculty Council Chairman C. P. Spruill at the Student Party banquet Sat urday night. "The committee on judicial pro cedures will be appointed this week," Chancellor William B. Ay cock said yesterday. It will consist of the chairman (Dr. Gordon Cleveland) and two or three members of the Faculty Committee on Student Discipline and two or three otlier faculty members. The Faculty Committee on Stu dent Discipline was responsible for the abolition of the Student Faculty Review Board earlier this year. Student leaders have accepted the establishment of the Faculty Review Board, but feel that many adjustments need to be made in the appeals procedure. The new committee will have no students on it, but it is ex pected that students will be call ed before it to give opinions. The second comimttee to dis cuss philosophical questions about . the relation ol Student Govern ment to the faculty and Adminis tration is being formed in answer to a resolution passed by Student Legislature Dec. 5. The resolution asks that the Chancellor appoint a faculty-student ad hoc committee to draft a statement "affirming the phil osophical commitment of the Uni versity community to the theory and practice of student self-government." The resolution came from a sc ries of Judicial Committee hear ings on proposals to abolish the Student-Faculty Review Board earlier in the fall. Many student leaders felt that the trust between Student Gov ernment and the University au thorities had been broken. The aim of the resolution is to get a clear statement of the au thority delegated to Student Gov ernment by the University. The ad hoc committee will con sist of the president and vice president of the Student Body and several other students and facul ty members appointed by Chancel lor Aycock.
