A Look At The Administration No. 1
Ray Jeffries Mr..Y Court' Is
Carolina Students' Blessing
By Jennie Lynn
Being Mr. Y Court isn't as easy
as it might seem.
Every time you see Ray Jefferies
he's socializing on the South
Building steps, a pastime that ap
parently consumes the greater part
of his time and exerts his abun
dant conversation. While he's talk
ing he forgets (for a while) the
-troubled freshman that he just
talked to and the appointment that
lie has in five minutes.
The Jefferies smile covers the
crowd, as he works his way
through the students, stopping on
each step to make introductions
and comment on Saturday classes
or ask about German plans.
The assistant to the dean of stu
dents at Carolina practices a re
warding motto every job is a
get to know people job. Ray han
dles student-faculty cards. He is a
dorm advisor. He determines eligi
bility of all candidates for elec
tions, computes grades for scholar-

Before you came to Carolina,
Ray was getting to know you. He
sent you a letter of welcome the
summer you were packing for
your first year at UNC. He worked
hand in hand with the orientation
chairman to make those first days
here less homesick ones and to
make sure the mass of strangers
became quicker friends. Ray was
responsible for the name tags you
wore life savers in the struggle

before every social, dance or re

him invaluable during rush week
because he's their source for
grades and past rush programs. If
the honor council has an unusual
case, it's sometimes taken to him
for advice.
Ray has been Dean Fred Wea

on an experimental program. He

ton who entered UNC as freshmen
high school. Before he received
his BS in Commerce he was un
der the 5 day and 6 day quarter
and semester systems (likes 5 day
quarter), going to school during
regular and summer sessions until
he graduated.
He was a dorm advisor his jun
ior and senior years, was on Inter
Dorm Council, and chairman of
Student Council. He was chosen
to be a member of the Order of
the Grail and the Golden Fleece
and graduated in 1947.
Following June graduation he
returned in September to become
South Building's detail man. That
year 580 veterans were quartered
in quonset huts, and Ray kept up
with them and their complaints.
In January he began to work for
Joe Galloway, the placement direc
tor. Since Ray knew them, he
helped pass judgment on and in

Ray feels that the students
should get to know the deans and
the administration better. He says
students here are blessed with a
young administration, and an in
formal and friendly atmosphere.
"Be free to talk to your deans,"
he urges, "for closer relations. The
deans are very much interested in
you, although many times they ap
pear to be too busy to talk. Come
to see them at slack times, between
quarter finals, not during or right
before exams, when naturally they
have little time."
Ray is a link between students
and deans as well as between stu
dents and students. "I have more
fun," he says, "than anyone else
at the University."

Tonight To Inaugurate
Campus Political Year
New members of student government will take office today and
a new student Legislature will meet tonight as the new campus po
litical year begins.
New student government officers will be honored at a banquet
in the Blue Room of Lenoir Hall at 6:30 tonight. At that time the
traditional gavel will be presented to Vice-President Jim McLeod.
After the banquet new student government members will go to
Phi Hall for the inauguration ceremonies. Ted Frankel, chairman
of the student council, will administer the oath of office to members
of the Women's Honor Council, the Men's Honor Council, Vice Presi
dent Baxter Miller and President Bob Gorham.
Miller will administer the oath of office to the new legislators.
After a short recess Miller will
call the new Legislature to order.
The legislature will elect new offi
cers and committee chairmen.
If the matter of the Budget for
The Datty Tar Heel is to be con
sidered it will have to be brought
up as new business, since no old
business is carried over to the new
Legislature.
The old Legislature left the ap
propriation for The Daily Tar Heel
off as it approved the rest of the
budget. They suggested that the
new Legislature reconsider the
budget request for the paper.
If the matter is considered un
der a suspension of rules it may
be settled tonight, but if it is given
to a committee it may not be set
tled for two weeks.
A group of legislators has been
studying the budget request for
The DaUy Tar Heel. They attend
ed a meeting of the Publications
Board Tuesday and were briefed
on its policies.
The move to examine the budget
request is supposedly aimed at sav
ing the students' money.
Legislator Gene Cook suggested
changing The Daily Tar Heel to
tabloid form, as a means of sav
ing money, but members of the
Publications Board pointed out that

"We want panties," the stu

Possible NSA
Sub Seen In
Student Group
OXFORD, Miss., April 29 Car
olina's student government was in
vited to join a Southern Students
Association now In planning stag
es, it was learned here.
The invitation came from the
president of the student body here
at the University of Mississippi.
"Our intention is not that SSA
would complement NSA," said
president Roy Pitts, when asked
about the new group.
NSA is the National Students
Association, a group of colleges
throughout the country joined to
gether for the exchange of ideas
on sTudent government, sponsoring
scholarship programs and acting
as a student voice in national af
fairs. Carolina is a member.
"As a matter of practicality, it
would probably replace NSA with
respect to the southern colleges
which might join," added the Univ.
of Miss, student body President.
He said he didn't think members
would be restricted from joining
both.
Asked if the new southern group
was bi-racial, he replied, "We have
only extended invitations to white
colleges. I doubt that the members
would desire a bi-racial organi-
tion."
He cited the basic function of
the group as the "exchange of
ideas." He named "the promotion
of higher education, cooperation
among southern colleges and the
overall improvement of the stu
dent situation" as other functions.
Planning members will meet
here for the new southern group
on May 10-12. It is not known if
Carolina will send a representative.
