Visit" Rule
Is Possible
EF
By Louis Krar -
Students and administrative of
ficials will sit down today to dis
cuss what may be the completion
of a long-sought revision of the
coed visiting agreement.
The agreement which will be
considered is a revised one recent
ly approved by the Inter-Fraternity
Council and other student
groups. It embodies several administration-suggested
changes.
If the agreement is passed, it
would remove some contradictions
from the catalogue and Woman's
Handbook rules concerning coed
visiting and drinking in fraternity
houses. Official revision of the
agreement would need Trustee ap
proval, should the administration
accept it.
Today's meeting will be the first
one in which a unified student
approved plan will have been sub
mitted. A new group appointed by
President Bob.Gorham, called the
Executive Council, has contribut
ed towards bringing the student
side of the agreement together.
The Executive Council is made up
of representatives from all major
campus groups
The new proposal, in effect,
places more emphasis on self-restraint
by men and women in re
spect to fraternity drinking.
Among the innovations in the
suggested agreement is a special
committee called the Visiting Ad
visory Committee. It is to be com
posed of seven members repre
senting fraternity-interested areas
of the University community.
This committee will meet reg

LAS VEGAS, Nev. The world's
first atomic artillery shell was fir
ed rsuccessfully yesterday from a
monster cannon and burst over
the Nevada proving grounds to
usher in a new era of ground
warfare. A brilliant double fire
ball, the first ever seen by observ
ers of atomic tests in the United
States, shot up from the explo
sion, indicating the military may
have something newer even than
the shell itself among its store of
nuclear weapons.

Flood Account
!s Reported
By Local Man
Corky Cretini, a Chapel Hill
resident and alumnus of the Uni
versity got a first-hand account
Saturday of the flood in Louisi
ana. Cretini's people live in Lake
Charles, La., where most of the
residential section was under wa
ter last week.
Cretini tried to get a telephone
call through to them all Friday
night to try to find out if they
were safe. Only emergency calls
were going through then, but on
Saturday he finally got his call
through and learned that the flood
had missed their home.
"The house stands in the old
business district which is the high
est point in town," Cretini said.
Lake Charles is a port town in
the bayou country. Most of the
residential district is built on
drained swampland. "This is where
the flood did most of the dam
age," Cretini said.

Fears, Hopes, Doubts Existed
In Ancient Days Dr. Caldwell
By Jennie Lynn
To his students it would be an
utterly worthless fact that the bat
tle of Marathon was won by Athens
over the Persians in 490 BC if
Professor Caldwell did not turn
the Athenians into a fearful, yet
hopeful handful of fathers and
sons, fighting against unbelieva
ble odds to overcome the power
ful Persian king.
Following the belief that know
ledge of occurrences in ancient
history is useful only when it giv
es to students an experience of
lasting influence on their charac
ters, in his teaching Dr. Wallace
Everette Caldwell combines the
feelings and actions of men of
long ago with present problems.
These fears, hopes, and doubts
that the Greeks felt do not exist
for 490 BC alone, but for the
hearts of men of all time . . . for
your grandfathers in the Spanish
American War, for soldiers on the
Korean front today.
Although he is able to reach his'
pupils while he is lecturing, one
of Dr. Caldwell's most sincere
concerns and desires is to be clos
er to them outside of the class
room. He feels that the barrier be
tween students and faculty is due
partly to the negligence of the
students themselves, partly to the
largeness of the University.
The few minutes of pre-regis-tering
is the only time that teach
ers see the students, other than in
class. "I don't know just what it is,"
he said. "Either they can't be
bothered or the school is just get
ting too big. During my first years
here I used to have Greek history
class at Danziger's over Turkish
coffee and ' pastry now this isn't
done. The teachers visited the
dorms and fraternity houses fre
quently for supper and informal
get-togethers. Now I find that. I
know hardly anyone at the formal

social teas."
As of this year, Dr. Caldwell has
31 years of teaching ancient his
tory and two years as head of the
History Department behind him
He was born in Brooklyn and is
a Dodger fan. He went to school
in the North, receiving his A.B.
from Cornell and his Ph.D. from
Columbia. After teaching at Col
umbia for four years following
1919, he came south to make Caro
lina his home.
In bringing the European world
into the classroom, Dr. Caldwell's
two trips abroad have been invalu
able. He plans to return in July
of next year to study the latest ex
cavations and expositions in Ath
ens and Rome. While traveling he
will visit his younger son, con
nected with the State Department
in Copenhagen. His older son is a
