UL S ass "y V. 1 rP 1 VOLl V 5117 1 OraiUio.: 9X2$ MOTION TO CHANGE STUDENT-FACULTY DAY IS DEFEATED professors Approve Stanback Position For 1941 Holiday rtition requesting the observ--ce c: Student-Faculty day on February 5, presented yesterday to faculty by Student-Faculty day Vairman Tom Stanback, was heart- oticn to change the date of the holi J3y :3 a Saturday in the fall quar ter vas defeated. The discussion ensuing from both Doacns disclosed some differences of opinion as to whether or not Student Faculty day should be held, but no acticn was taken or proposed toward its discontinuance. According to Administrative Dean E. B. House, "The faculty was clear ly of the opinion that, if we are go ing to have Student-Faculty day at all, ve ought to have it when the students most desire it." At the beginning of the meeting Star.fcack presented with a short state ment the petition drawn up on be half of the student body by him and Barbara Liscomb, other co-chairman of the 1940 committee. Dr. Dashiell's motion, first in the order of business, was then discussed and defeated. The discussion and passage of the petition followed. If Dashiell's proposal had been ap proved it would have been submitted only as a recommendation to the Student-Faculty day committee. Failure ly the faculty to grant the student re quest would not necessarily have ban ned Student-Faculty day, Dean House emphasized. A similar or modified request might have been submitted at any Subsequent meeting. The reasons for his motion, Dr. Dashiell said, were that the inter roption of class work would be less felt in the fall quarter, which i3 the ; longest, and that holding the holi day on a Saturday would eliminate the disruption of laboratory work planr.ed week by week.

C THURSDAY, MAY 2, 1940 -- - w i After W arm Bmc Coed Sessions, Opening Speakers . - '.V r z- n i Weaver Scores Vote-Pledging, Carolina Attitude to Coeds Bradshaw Gives Ten Commandments Of Leadership The Carolina "gentleman's" attitude toward the coed and the practice of vote-pledging en masse were pointed out yesterday by Fred Weaver, assis tant to the dean of students, as specific examples of present opportunities which call for good leadership on the part of campus officers. Weaver presented the critical half of a duet with Dean Francis F. Brad shaw on "A Consideration of Leader ship" at the opening luncheon of the second annual new officer's training conference yesterday afternoon. - " Dean Bradshaw, in presenting sug gestions on how the new officers should go about the job of being good leaders, built his talk around the "Ten Com mandments of Good Leadership," which he called the "Ten Steps to Good Leadership." Ellis Presides at Luncheon Phil Ellis, chairman of the confer ence planning committee, presided at the luncheon and pointed out the pur poses of the conference asking coop eration on the part of the new lead ers in accomplishing the purpose. "Our women students deplore the so-called 'bad reputation' of Carolina coeds and the characteristic attitude of the Carolina 'gentleman,' " Weaver said. "He regards the coed as a walk ing sex-organism, devoid of any per sonality apart from her sex." ' "Yet none of these things need to continue. All that is needed to stop them is a display of leadership by a few fine girls. . . . But what kind of 'gentlemen' are our boys if it is neces sary for women to take thi3 stand?" he said. Points to Political Processes In pointing out that present politi caL processes may sometimes ignore leadership, he said, "Some of our fra ternities, sororities and other organiz ed groups band together and pledge to vote en masse for certain candidates . . to secure position of leadership for their own members. . . . This process is the opposite of leadership and can not but project into office people who are followers, not leaders." He emphasized that a leader must popularize the right thing rather than (Continued on page Ut column 4) W. M. Neilson, 0. F. Jensen Discuss Jobs in Fields of Science Tonight Dr. W. M. Nielson, chairman of the physics department of Duke univer sity, and O. F. Jensen of the DuPont company will, discuss "Opportunities for Jobs in the Field of Science" on the Vocations for Today program at 7:30 tonight in Gerrard hall. Jensen will explain the type of po sitions available to students of chem istry, and point out what prerequisites are required. Nielson will discuss op portunities open to physics majors. Open Discussion Follows Talks An open discussion will follow the talks, DeWitt Barnett, chairman of the program, said yesterday. At that v Fred Weaver, left, and Dean Francis F. Bradshaw, right, opened the officers training con ference yesterday by discussing "A Consideration of Leadership." WOMEN LEADERS STATE PURPOSES OF ASSOCIATION Few Girls Realize Regulations Made By Them Corbett "Women students do not understand their individual responsibility on this campus, and they can not expect to better their positions as coeds until there is a campus-wide realization of the objectives behind the women's as sociation," stated Melville Corbett in the first meeting of the women's stu dent government training conference yesterday afternoon. Girls who met in the Institute of Government building to discuss prob lems of women students agreed ;that the objective of women's student gov ernment is one of self-discipline and self-regulation, keeping in view a bal ance between individual and group im provement. Clampitt Makes Suggestions Martha Clampitt, treasurer of the YWCA, pointed out that the main ob stacle confronting women's govern ment is how to define satisfactorily the coed's responsibility and then put it into effect. She suggested two methods: one, group study of student government which would hot be limited in its membership to campus leaders; two, the transferance of mtfre power to the women's Student Council. Coeds should not be forced to follow rules made for them by other groups, she said. In response to the question of why the Women's association is not mak ing the progress is should, girls claimed that the fault lies in the coed's ignor ance of the government set-up.

Jensen, a resident of Chapel Hill, has been with the ammonia products department of DuPont since 1933, traveling through the ammonia mar kets of Virginia, Tennessee, and the Carolinas. He also designs and buys machinery for his company. Jensen received his B.S. degree from Michigan State college, where he later served as assistant chemist of the experimental station. He received his M.S. degree at Iowa State col lege, and was assistant chief of the forage corps in the experimental sta tion there. ZirUl: 4Ji Newt: 4351 1 Nlflt: $S Conference Censor Board For Buccaneer Disapproved A gathering of approximately 75 students expressed almost unanimous disapproval of a formal board of censors or advisers for the editor of the Carolina Buccaneer last night, concluding a warm discussion of the magazine which was a feature of the new officer's training conference. Bill Stauber, outgoing editor of the Buccaneer, Fred Weaver, assistant to the dean of students, and Mack Hob son, next editor of the magazine, gave the principal talks of the session. Ed Rankin, president of the Pub lications Union board, presided at the meeting and opened the discussion with a factual background of the hu mor magazine problem which came to a head this year when the November issue was banned by the Student council and had to be reprinted. Both Stauber and Weaver recom mended to the new officers that they work closely and honestly with the editor and emphasized that the Buc caneer was only a part of the Uni versity and should be run for the benefit of the University. Stauber began his talk by admitting that he had failed to recognize the Buc's relation to the University and to consider its interests as he should have. Explaining his failure to do this, he went into the history of his per sonal feelings since taking over the editorship last spring. He said that he had never known that the Buc caneer was a real liability to the Uni versity, and that the first time any one had gone to the trouble to ex plain it to him was after banning one of his issues. He pointed out that after an editor had seen people condemn the magazine in meetings and then individually (Continued on page 4, column 2 ) Four Coeds, 36 Rising Juniors Selected for University Club Present Officers Serve Until Group Has New Elections . The new membership list of the University club composed of 36 ris ing juniors and four coeds, was re leased last night by Reddy Grubbs, president of the outgoing club. With only a few exceptions, every fraternity or dormitory on the cam pus is represented on the club, which is an honorary campus service and spirit organization dedicated to the promotion of the University. The new members were tapped after the old club had considered every ris ing junior and every junior coed on the campus. A University rule pro hibits coeds entering before their ju nior year. Members are selected by the old club on the basis of character, accomplish ments, leadership, and ability. Club Sponsors Pep Rallies Every fall the organization spon sors series of pep rallies. This year's series was pronounced the most suc cessful in the club's history, being cul minated by the huge rally before the Duke game which Kay Kyser, popular bandleader and former Carolina cheerleader, took part in. Kyser is one of three honorary members of the University club, the other two being Miss Mabel Mallett, secretary to Dean Francis F. Bradshaw, and "Coach Bob" Fetzer, athletic director. The officers of the outgoing club, who will serve until the new organi zation selects its own, are Grubbs, jresident; Bill Shuford, secretary; and Dave Morrison, treasurer. The new members are as follows: Truman Hobbs, Charlie Tucker, (Continued on page 4, column 5) Journalists Wanted At Tar Heel Office The following students are ask ed to come by the Daily Tab Heel news office this afternoon at 1:45: Frank L.
