Chase would be set up as a recreational center for the South Campus complex. The current Vice President of the Student Body also pro posed that faculty fellows be introduced into the system to compliment the resident ad visors now in the residence halls. He called for the estab lishment of libraries within the various residence colleges, similar to the one now set up in Jtforehead College.

Establishment of reference groups, improvement of the residence college system, and an end to what seems to be polarization of the sexes with women on North Campus and men on South campus, were other suggestions. The trustees finished up their two day trip to see the UNC campus with an open luncheon in Lenoir which was followed by the panel discussion on "The changing role of women."

PRAM Applications Available At ISC By JAN JOHNSON of The Daily Tar Heel Staff Victory Assured For Pearson OTTAWA Parliament met Tuesday with a sure victory in the offing for the Liberal government of Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson in a vote of confidence. The Conservative drive against him backfired when a key member quit the party in disgust. Conservative Gordon Churchill, who served in three different Cabinet posts in the government of former Prime Minister John Diefenbaker, accused new Conservative leader Robert M. Stan field of "capitulation" to the Liberals.

Compared to the rest of the South "North Carolina has been very progressive," Travis said, "and I think the Universi ty has been one of the reasons for this," he added. What separates UNC from other schools, Travis said, is that UNC educates students while others train them to fill a position in society. Dietz explained that students "are starting to have a much broader interest in the University" as exemplified by such things as the Ex perimental College. As a result, he said, "we are going to see in the state a new image of the University, an image moving more from that of a socially aware body, to that of an academically aware body." One trustee, Mrs. John Bagwyn, explained that what is needed to improve the University's image is not stu dent government leaders who are enthusiastic about im proving the image but a stu dent body that is concerned with their image. "You students have that radical image," another Trustee explained." "We'd like to have that other image of in terest in the University, before the state." Another Trustee, Mrs. J.B. Kitwell from Greenville, ex plained that she felt that "if you aren't criticized, you aren't anything." Mrs. George Wilson, of Fayetteville, said the "one thing that has amazed me the most is that there are so many marvelous minds on this cam pus, both faculty and student" "They don't seem to get together anymore like they did when the. college was smaller." 4
