Fifty-seven students went before the boards of the latter two colleges and 18 , have been readmitted. Of the number who went before the board of the General College, 62 liave been granted reinstate ment. . ' .:; ' In commenting on. the general academic statistics of last quart er, Dean D. . D. Carrol s observed that students, in his Commerce school made the best 'record in the school's history, . one put ! of seven equalling ; or bettering ; an average of 92.5. . ; V"" : Academic Regulations Current regulations governing tudent standards at the Univer sity, call for a freshman to pass at least 30 hours during his first year. He must pass five hours in the first quarter following this, and average 35 during every three quarters until completion of his required course. If a student fails to meet these requiremnets, and desires read mission, he submits a petition to his dean, and the petition is con sidered by a special dean's commi tee of each college before the quarter's opening.

Playmakers Need Agile Safe Hands The ability to crack a safe is not a quality which an ap plicant for a job usually em phasizes when talking to his prospective employer. How ever, the Playmakers have a job that only a man with edu cated fingers can handle. A safe delivered to the Play maker offices in Swain hall has failed to respond either to its combination or to the rather inexperienced efforts at cracking it made by the Play maker and " buildings depart-, ment staffs. ' The safe was originally us ed here during the war by the navy. Yesterday, it was trans ferred with the aid of a truck and ten handlers to the Swain liall headquarters of the dra matics group. Robert Walker of the Play makers tried to open it first.' When he failed, five addition- al combinations known to fit. safes stored here were used , with no result. ' .. : The buildings department," called in by the somewhat dis traught staff, was likewise at a loss. They did get to the point where only one number and one direction in the com bination were wrong, but could get no further. Latest word on the recal critant object was that if the appeal to unemployed thugs failed, the Playmakers would have to tell it to the marines or at least to the navy. snpus Le issolve 6 D ers Move Tentatively sitertainEtieiit Committee LE CERCLE FRANCAIS An important meeting of Le Cercle Francais will be held this evening at 7:30 in Caldwell "Y."

Creighton Pushes New Architecture A distinctive regional type of architecture for each section of the United States was advocated in a talk delivered by editor Thomas H. Creighton of Progress ive Architecture magazine before the annual meeting of the North Carolina chapter of the American Institute of Architects in Person Hall Gallery yesterday. Creighton, a former practicing architect, pointed out that in this respect California and the mid west are far in advance of the East. He criticised what he call ed the East's "fake cultural tra dition" and compared the at tempts to copy' colonial styles to "trying to make a 1948 auto mobile look like a buggy". The lack of professional critic ism of architectural trends in the general press and more par ticularly in the professional press was also scored in his remarks. He stated that, in his opinion, "competent and objective critic ism" could do much to solve the problems confronting ' the profession. This session or the North Caro lina chapter is expected to last through Tuesday.
