next Playmakers production is
and so on.

Tne iour organizations to be included in the drive have not

mittee, but the Red Cross, Ameri
can Heart association, American
Cancer Society, North Carolina
Symphony, and the World Student
Service Fund are under considera

Allan Tate, chairman of the
Chest committee said if the WSSF

share of the contributions -would
be added to the donations of
Woman's College and N. C. State.
The Greater University WSSF

The newspaper where Ben
Reese served as city editor for 25
years and as managing editor for
13, is considered good at doing
just that thing.
' In recent years, under his direc
tion, the Post-Dispatch exposed
voting registration frauds in St.
Louis; exposed the Union Elec
tric Co. 1 of Missouri for using
money to influence legislators;
exposed the oil interests of Pres
ident Truman's friend Bd Pauley
until Pauley withdrew as nominee
for Undersecretary of the Navy.

The board approved of "some
proposals" made by various stu
dents and faculty groups in the
last few years. If the college fac

board's proposals, the University
Faculty Council will next take
them up. Action by they council
makes the proposals "law."
Findings of a 1948 student com
mittee on curriculum evaluation
and a joint faculty-student group
in 1949 have been helpful in con
sidering changes of the General
College curriculum,' Dean Spruill
said.
The student report, compiled ia
1948 and presented September 26,
1949, offers "interesting and use-
f ul suggestions," Spruill said. The
joint faculty student committee
incorporated much of the stu
dent findings and now the admin
istrative board and some inde
pendent departmental committees
are working on the questions of
electives, general education
courses, and foreign language re
quirements. The question of "When speciali
zation should begin in college"
was also carefully considered
by the board, Spruill pointed cut.
After the joint faculty group
chairmaned by Dean Henry Bran
dis made its report in spring, 1950,
the School of Business Adminis
tration established a committee t
make recommendations for ths
school and for freshmen an
sophomores. Since their proposals
involved such substantial chanrr
Spruill indicated that much tiraa
was spent in- consider in 5 tl,z:'ii
proposals." ''."'"''
