Di-Phi anniversary
by Polly Howes
Staff Writer
The 100th anniversary of the
Dialectic and Philanthropic Literary
Societies' restoration was
commemorated Monday Night with
two UNC alumni speaking on the
history of the University and the
societies.
- On Sept. 15, 1875, the Dialectic (Di)
and Philanthropic (Phi) Societies held
their first meeting since 1 868, when the
University was forced to close because
of Reconstruction.
Approximately 60 society members and
their guests attended the ceremony held
in the Di-Phi Chamber of New West.
Featured speakers were Dr. Albert
M. Coates, founder of the Institute of
Government, and William H. Bobbitt,
former Chief Justice of the North
Carolina Supreme Court.
Coates, Phi Society president in 1917,
traced the development of the Honor
Code and Student Government through
the Di and Phi societies.
"For three-quarters of a century,
trustees made the laws regarding
students," he said. "The faculty was to
enforce them and the students were to
obey them."
But the societies began by 1875 to
regulate student behavior not only in the
societies' halls but on and off campus.
This dual enforcement system failed
because faculty enforcement and
student enforcement conflicted. "The
Di-Phi was a government within a
government," Coates said. "The inner
succeeded, while the outer failed."
The faculty then began turning over
all conduct cases to the societies for
trial. The system worked so well that the
trustees gave full support to the Di and
Phi Societies in 1885, Coates said.
"Any student expelled from the
societies was automatically expelled
from the University," Coates said.
You can do it, too. So far over 550,000 other people have done it. People who
have different jobs, different IQs, different interests, different educations have
completed the course. Our graduates are people from all walks of life. These
people have all taken a course developed by Evelyn Wood, a prominent
educator. Practically all of them at least tripled their reading speed with equal or
better comprehension. Most have increased it even more.
Think for a moment what that means. All of them-even the slowest-now read
an average novel in less than two hours. They read an entire issue of Time or
Newsweek in 35 minutes. They don't skip or skim. They read every word. They
use no machines. Instead, they let the material they're reading determine how
fast they read. And mark this well: they actually understand more, remember
more, and enjoy more than when they read slowly. That's right! They
understand more. They remember more. They enjoy more. You can do the same

But as UNC's enrollment increased
and new professional schools were
established, the students proved their
ability to regulate their own conduct,
and the societies' influence on conduct
declined.
"The campus had outgrown its
governing authority," Coates said.
"When a new student council was
formed, the capacity of students to
govern themselves was proved. It was
this tradition of self-government that
gave the student council the ability to
survive and it did survive."
The Di and Phi Societies
membership began to decline. Although
the societies pooled their membership,
only one member was left in the fall of
1969. Twelve new members were
recruited in 1970, and today there are
approximately 40 members of the Di
Phi Societies.
Coates' wife, Gladys, who conducted
a five-year study in the 1930s on the
University's history, noted that the Di
and Phi Societies' book collections
became the nucleus of the University
library.
Bobbitt, Di Society president in 1921
and recipient of the Willie P. Mangum
Medal for oratory in 1922, recalled that
the societies once offered a pastime for
students.
"I was here before the time of that
great modern invention, the
automobile," he said. "Students
couldn't go home for the weekend and
looked toward the societies for
something to do on weekends."
Bobbitt told a story about a speech
made by Thomas Wolfe when he was
admitted into the Di Society: "One of
our members had a habit of spitting
when he talked, and this irritated Tom
to no end. He broke up the audience
when he said, 'Mr. President, we came
here expecting oration, instead we got
expectoration.'"

At

thing the place to learn more about it is at a free speed reading lesson.
This is the same course President Kennedy had his Joint Chiefs of Staff take.
The staff of President Nixon completed this course in June 1970. The same one
Senators and Congressmen have taken.
Come to a Mini-Lesson and find out. It is free to you and you will leave with a
better understanding of why it works. One thing that might bother you about
your reading speed is that someone might find out how slow it is. The
instructors at the Evelyn Wood Reading Dynamics Free Speed Reading lesson
will let you keep your secret. It's true we practice the first step to improved
reading at a Mini-Lesson and we will increase your reading speed on the spot, but
the results will remain your secret. Plan to attend a free Mini-Lesson and learn
that it is possible to read 3-4-5 times faster, with comparable comprehension.

served as chancellor there for 15 years.
Refusing to name the two remaining
candidates, Smith said he will submit the
names to the NCSU Board of Trustees on
Saturday.
Upon approval by the trustees, the names
will be passed on to William C. Friday,
president of the University of North
Carolina system. Friday will choose one of
the two and convene the Board of Governors
for final approval.
"I feel the individuals were the type I
would recommend to the Board of
Governors," Friday said. To begin the
screening process, Friday met with the
committee to suggest the qualifications it
should look for. "We were looking for
intelligent, aggressive leadership which
would work well with the other institutions
in the state," he said.
William H. Simpson, secretary of the
Search Committee, said approximately 200
applicants were considered for the position,
which was advertised nationally.

by Chris Fuller
Staff Writer
The position of student health
advocate, established this summer by
Student Government, was extended last
week by the Campus Governing Council
through the academic year.
Katie Newsome Campbell, a senior
psychology major from Wirvston
Salem, was appointed to the position
during the summer and will keep it
through the year.
"The responsiblities ( of student
health advocate) are two-fold,"
Campbell said. "I am a consumer health
advocate and a liason between the
Student Health Service (SHS) and the
student body."
During her tenure as health advocate,
Campbell has worked on several
programs. She is now working on a
survey of married students on medical
care for non-student spouses, prenatal
obstetrical care and care for dependents.
She said the hospital administration is
not considering this type of care.
Campbell said she is also planning
panel discussions on test anxiety,
nutrition, weight control and different
aspects of sexuality.
Campbell also handles student
consumer complaints for Blue Cross
and Blue Sheild. She is investigating a
Blue Cross policy change that involves
be chosen
Simpson said the committee was
composed of approximately 12 or 13 people
including alumni, faculty, trustees and the
student body president.
The selection process took about 10
months because the committee wanted the
best person for the position, Simpson said.
Screening the applicants, arranging
interviews in various parts of the country, as
well as North Carolina, took up most of
the committee's time, he said.
The Search Committee had a rather
lengthy list of requirements, Simpson said.
He added the committee wanted a person
under 50 years old and that most applicants
had experience in college education.
Jackson Rigney, dean of international
programs at NCSU, is currently serving as
acting chancellor until Caldwell's successor
is named. Rigney has been a member of the
NCSU faculty since 1938.
Friday said he would probably convene
the Board of Governors on Sept. 26 to
announce his choice.

insurance policies for married students.
Blue Cross offered last year two policies
to married students, one for couples
with children and one for couples
without. This year it offers one plan, a
family plan with rates higher than the
previous married-without-children
policy. Campbell said she is trying to get
the old policies reinstated.
Campbell serves as a grievance
mechanism for students who have
complaints about health care. The
accepted procedure, recommended by
Campbell, has been to go to SHS and
complain directly to the doctor or
person involved. A student could file a
blind complaint if he wanted to be
anonymous. But the student would not
be informed of any resulting action.
As an alternative to the blind
complaint, Campbell handles the
grievance and reports to the student any
action taken.
During the summer, Campbell
organized a meeting between campus
police, the Chapel HillCarborro Rape
Crisis Center and the North Carolina
Memorial Hospital Emergency Rape
Team to discuss the emotional needs of
rape victims .
Campbell, recently appointed by the
Chancellor to the SHS Administration
Board, has written articles on SHS for
Student Government's publication
Summer Life, a campus women's
magazine SHE, and the Daily Taf Heel.
