John Lineweaver Night Editor Tom Parramore f - - From 88 Pages Out of an 88 page document due at the end of May and just now released, comes some recommendations and criti cisms on hazing: 1. Let the Men's Council investigate cases. The Interfra ternity Council Court now has full jurisdiction. Reason for this is because individual cases aren't actually handled by the court; the court deals only in fraternities, as corporate organ izations. 2. Educate entering freshmen and pledges. 3. Find some way to regulate the corporate conduct of fraternities. 4. Objected to the lenient penalties that the IFC imposes on a fraternity found guilty of hazing. 5. The faculty should "not be passive," but active in de veloping a "positive University policy toward all matters of student welfare and conduct." According to the report, there is still some hazing going on here. Mostly, hazing during the past academic year includ ed personal service to active members by pledges, scavenger hunts, rides (taking pledges for a ride out of town and making them find their way back, and general pranks. The most flagrant case was the one in which pledges took silverware from the fraternity dining room and hid it from members. Members retaliated by humiliating pledges in a crude manner. Hazing has been reduced in the last decade. The term hazing, defined by State law, "to annoy any student by play ing abusive or ridiculous tricks upon him, to frighten, scold, beat or harass him, or to subject him to personal indignity," is too broad. Like the Campus Code which puts everybody on their honor as "gentlemen" the terminology makes con viction of violations improbable and sometimes impossible. "Students, with alert faculty asistance, can eradicate hazing," says the committee. But "student government and the attitude of the average student toward that government will be the decisive factors" in riding the. campus of such pranks. The recommendation asking the Men's Council have jur isdiction on hazing cases is the most constructive and practi cal of the suggestions. One of the reasons that the State was asked to investigate was that no student government agency was able to call a halt to leniency of the IFC Court. While former Editor Harden's remarks were overexaggerated, some action, i. e, formation of an investigation committee, was needed. Such leniency, coming from the only authoritative agency, would mean more violations in the future. We are sure that the report will nrove vnlnahl n index of what's going on and what to do about it. We regret that out of the 52 students interviewed, only five were non- We also regret that the renort wasn't tpImcpH Citizens of the State were incensed after reading Miss Har- c xct.ci tu uuvernor dcoix. inree montns alter the char ges were made, a condensed "digest" of the report was released to the State, giving them a brief idea of the report. Consequently, the University still is a "hazing haven" in the eyes of many North Carolinians. And the report shows that this isn't so. Action in the fall bv student Then we can hope for a complete, disappearance of the de Student-Faculty The weekly Student-Faculty Hour will be, held today in the Graham Memorial main lounge from 4 to 5 p. m. Students and faculty of the School of Busi ness Administration will be the special guests of the week, but all others are cordially invited to attend. Throughout the Summer the various schools of the Univer sity will be invited to these Thursday afternoon sessions. It is hoped that the refreshments and , conversations at these so cial gatherings will help pro mote . more friendly intra and interdepartmental relationships.

I have no complaints on their driving, I don't mind how much they talk and they may eat forbidden apples from now til doomsday and I'll never raise my voice. But in the midst of all this steaming weather it does seem that you ladies could move a little faster through the Lenoir lunch line. Its down right heart-breaking to rush over to Lenoir after slaving over a hot desk all day and fall in behind three or four of the fair sex idly picking their ways through the business of calories. Choosing silverware doesn't seem to stymie many of them. They usually charge right; past the meats so that's no problem. Vegetables are another situa tion entirely. The gals generally seem mesmerized by this as sortment, rney nave been seen to stand motionless for minutes just gazing at the various her bage. But sooner or later all good tnings must come to an end and the fateful choice is made. Then come the salads and des serts. Maybe you girls don't realize it but most of you simp ly pace up and down in front of these items and drool. I don't know what goes on in the mind of a women at such a time but judging from your actions it must be nothing short of utter chaos. Many of you are seen to change your minds two or three times in the act of choosing a repast. But again, alas, the de cision comes before dawn and the by now endless line inches forward. At first it was my reaction to wipe my forehead at this point, thinking the worst over. How ever, the meal must be paid for and this involves a great deal of switching and changing of ar ticles like books, purses, um brellas, and heaven only knows what other trivia. So far the staunchest men have been able to hold up under the pressure but I feel that a revolt is brewing. Ladies, I have had my say.' Change your ways or don't say I didn't tell you. 1 Pool Should Be Open On 4fh University employees, all of them, will get a well deserved three day holiday for the Fourth. This means that the entire University will close downfrom classes to South Building to Kessing Pool and Woollen Gym. The Fourth weekend is probably the first in a long time that Univer sity workers have gotten. It is a break in the summer grind. We wonder, though, if the closing of Kessing Pool isn't going too far. We know that several persons are needed tcj keep the pool , operating pool mechanics, basketroom personnel, etc. It might seem unfair to ask these people to work at a time when everybody else is taking it easy. But firemen, police, telephone operators, and others work on holidays. And we think it's reasonable to suggest that a recreation center such as Kessing Pool ought to be available for use by stu dents and faculty on the extended weekend.
