system at UNC. This article, the second in
a series, concerns pledge training at
fraternities and some of the inherent
problems.) '
Due to the trend in recent years
toward a more liberalized pledge program
in fraternities the essential requirement of
a fraternity pledge is now to become
acquainted with the brothers.
This idea embodies such concepts as
learning certain facts about the brothers
and the house. Although this is a
relatively worthwhile idea, the overall
effectiveness of this program is seriously
hindered by two prevailing conditions.
The first deals with the manner in
which the information is given. Often just
a cursory sketch of himself is provided by
the brother. The pledge doesn't get an
opportunity to know the brother in
depth because he is psychologically
inclined to seek just enough information
to pass the pledge quiz. This does not
mean that the brothers are reticent to
discuss themselves openly with pledges,
but rather that the situation is conducive
to the pledge's and the brother's most

Nyle Frank's scheduled Invisible University of North
Carolina (I UNC) basketball game apparently on't take place
on Feb. 17 in Carmichael Auditorium or in any other
University facility.
Frank received a letter dated Feb. 9 from Carolina Union
Director Howard D. Henry which stated: "Noting that you are
not a student this semester, your organization is no longer on
the list of recognized student organizations and therefore you
are not eligible to use the facilities of the University."
Henry said Friday afternoon he had heard Frank was no
longer in school. "I checked it out and found out he wasn't in
school. I checked with the administration and (IUNC's)
recognition (as a student organization) was withdrawn."
Henry pointed out his office did not recognize student
organizations-Dean of Student Affairs CO. Cathey's office
makes up the list of recognized organizations.
Cathey said Sunday that "Nyle is not now in the University
and is not authorized to establish a student organization.
"We put him on the list (of approved organizations), as we
told him, so he could have his coronation ceremony. Now he is
not even in school and is not authorized to be recognized as an
organization that has any right to ask for reservations of
University facilities."
Frank has written an "Open letter to Dean Cathey,
Chancellor Sitterson and the Student Body" appealing the
denial of University facilities.
The letter claims "the bulk of our (IUNC) activities are run
by and for UNC students."
"Go wherever you can get the best
education," Wilkins said, "but for God's
sake learn to read and write."
Wilkins' speech highlighted a young
people's conference sponsored by the
North Carolina State Conference of
Youth Councils and college chapters of
the NAACP.

said many southern white students have

superficial efforts to become acquainted
with each other.
The second condition which hampers
this phase of pledge training is that often
the exchange between brothers and
pledges is a one-way process. Once again
the situation fosters this process. Since
the pledge is the one who is being
quizzed, the brother is inclined to be less
inquisitive towards the pledge. This past
fall a new program was proposed at Chi
Psi
that could possibly ameliorate
the
weaknesses mentioned above.

Last season Dedmon was prone to get

His angry reaction was to grab blindly for

Guthridge counseled the talented but

The letter claims the University has known Frank was
leaving UNC. "Nevertheless, we were put on the approved
Student Group list for the entire 1 970-7 1 school year.
"I did not, and do not," Frank said, "wish to use University
facilities more than absolutely necessary."
Frank also points out, "No IUNC function, including our
upcoming basketball game, has ever asked for funds from
anyone. I finance IUNC my self -thus, in a sense,. IUNC might
be regarded as a service for students and other people (for)

"University edicts," Frank continued, "seem to always
come at very inconvenient times, without any previous
warning or notice, without any mention of what you can do to
rectify the situation, without any common courtesy to you as
a human being.
The decisions are often made by people at the lower
echelons of the bureaucracy when all evidence leads to the
conclusion that they were, in fact, made by someone higher up
who refuses to take responsibility for his decision."
Frank said, "I can honestly say that I've tried to channel
discontent with present educational institutions into
constructive, rather than destructive activities.
"I have always . . . emphasized the necessity of righting
social wrongs through attempting to create better ways of
doing things-not through civil disobedience, demonstrations,
etc. It is far more rewarding to create and build than to strike,
demonstrate or destroy.
"I like to think of IUNC and the Invisible Kingdom as
efforts in searching for better ways of doing things-and thus
should be regarded as an asset, rather than a foe, of anyone
sincerely concerned about educational improvements."

nothing but set the black students farther

Hinton James Dormitory is conducting
a survey of women on campus in an
effort to determine support for making
the dormitory a coeducational facility
next fall, Charlie Miller, governor of
James Residence College, said Friday.
"James Dorm, in a way to create
support and interest for co-ed residence
colleges in general and for James
Residence College in particular, is asking
women on campus to participate in a
short survey, discussing their reasons for
living in residence housing, both co-ed
and regular types," Miller said.
James residents began delivering
questionnaires Thursday night to most of
the women's dorms on campus.
Miller said the administration has
discussed two proposals for
James making the dorm partially co-ed
with between 250 and 400 women out of
950 residents living there next fall or
making James completely men's housing.

After limiting Georgia Tech
All-American Rich Yunkus to 18 points
in this weekend's North-South
doubleheader, Dedmon came back to get
20 points and 13 rebounds in Carolina's
86-48 runaway over Clemson Saturday
night.
He hit nine of 12 shots from the floor
against Clemson's Dave Angel and
the rebounding job he had come up with
battling Yunkus, against whom he
grabbed a team-high for the year of 14.
Coach Dean Smith, still smiling over
the team's 87-58 triumph over Georgia
Tech a night earlier, was "surprised at the
outcome," he admitted. "I had expected
something like 55-50 against Clemson.
Carolina's sticky man-for-man press
upset the Tigers from the beginning. With
Previs and George Karl hounding Clemson
ballhandlers and setting up many fast
break baskets, the Tar Heels rolled to a
34-19 halftime lead.
The second half was just a matter of
Carolina's going through the motions.
Said Clemson Coach Tates Locke, "We
took a real good licking. It was difficult
to get our team ready for this game after
such a tough overtime loss to State the
night before."
Locke, who has guided a team with no
talent whatsoever to seven wins in 20
games, also had some interesting things to .
say about Dedmon's Saturday
performance.
"The only weak position Carolina has
is in the pivot and that is certainly going
to be a factor in the tournament. Carolina
does everything else so well this offsets
any weakness in the pivot, however."
Maybe he was ignorant of Dedmon's
newly found consistency. Or perhaps the
Tiger coach, in making this observation,
was trying to motivate his own center,
Angle, of whom he had been very critical
Friday night.
In any case, he added, "there is only
one team in the league with as much
depth as UNC, and I think Dean uses his a
lot better."

NAACP supplied legal aid to black

"Who came to their rescue when they
needed help?" he asked the
predominantly black audience. "It wasn't

Questioned on the goals of the black
movement, Wilkins said the black nun's
aim is to be included in American life,
not to form a separate culture.
This is my country. This is where my
father was reared, where my grandfather
was reared and my great grandfather was

Wilkins said to implement black

houses about 100 women on the 10th
floor of James, will be moved out next
fall, Miller said.
Kepner said the conversion of James
to co-ed housing has been considered, but
no definite decision has been made yet.
"Final action would not be taken without
student input," he said.
"There has not been a great deal of
interest expressed to me from women on
North Campus who wish to move to
South Campus," Kepner added. "It may
exist, but it has not been expressed to

"Some women would have to be

factor that would need to be considered."
Kepner said three major elements must

overall residence college environment to
convert James into co-ed housing? What
is the feeling among the women on North
Campus, some of whom might have to be
moved to Hinton James?
"One reason we have not given more
consideration to this is that we are
waiting to see what will happen to Project
Hinton," Kepner said."It is a pretty open
case now.
Miller said a co-educational housing
facility would provide a more desirable
living situation at James.
"On the basis of a desire for a total
residence college, we are requesting
support among women and men for
making James co-educational," he said.

women are present, could break down the
