House Addresses Di, Phi Societies "Life at Carolina was rougher when I was an undergraduate here thirty years ago," said Chanceller R. B. House in an address Thursday night before the quarterly banquet of the Dialectic and Philantropic societies. "A student would think nothing o5 firing a revolver into the air several times," the Chanceller cintinued. Challenging the students to spend some time every day in reading for the sheer love of great literature, the Chanceller advised, "Pick your favorite poets before you are thirty-five." Important Elements "Reading, writing, and speaking are elements of the spirit and the soul," House believes. When asked a question on labor management relations, the Chanceller replied, "That's Frank's department; I would not want to comment. My field is theological unrest and agra rian doubts." House thinks that students today are more interested in politics and goverment than were the students of thirty years ago, and consequently modern students have more social re sponsibility. "The Carolina Political union and the University Veterans association would think nothing of sending a resolution to the president of the University informing him that the slop buckets in Old East need em tying." Thirty years ago we would not have thought of that.

Pugh ' said he was also short on newsprint. , " An effort was made to get the Tar Heel printed by a Durham plant, but investigation proved that the shop was not equipped to handle the 'job. Lear has assured DTH Editor Bar ron Mills that plans are well under way toward getting the paper print ed next fall on its regular daily basis. Statement by Mills Following is a statement by Editor Mills: "We regret that . we will have to cease publication during the rest of the summer months due to circumstan ces, beyond our control. Next fall the Daily Tar Heel will again appear, complete with syndicated material (Li'l Abner, Bill Mauldin cartoons, etc.) and a 24-hour United. Press wire service.
