Hard to believe at. first, per haps, but students soon were convinced and bundled up against the grim weather. Even George the campus collie, shivered and headed for the warmth of the Y. For the first time since school started there v were no coffee drinkers on the steps of South building, and even the ping-pong players at Graham Memorial gave up. Down in the library students gazed out the window, hypnotiz ed by the falling flakes, and a coed reached a hand gingerly out the window to watch the stuff as it melted on her glove. Some students failed to recog nize their friends bundled up in coats, scarves, earmuffs, and as sorted old army gear. If you thought it was cold you were right. The weather bureau says it's the coldest November sixth on record, the high tern- Industrialists, Educators Try Joint Meeting The gVowing importance of the humanities to the business world was emphasized here yesterday at a conference participated in by leading Southern industrialists and educators. Labeled an education-industry conference, it was sponsored by the Southern Humanities Confer ence and the National Association of Manufacturers, Planned to study the humanities as preparation for a business ca reer, the conference is being at tended by members of the execu tive committee of the Southern Humanities Conference and a snStll group of business men whose firms are members of the NAM. Purpose of the session is to see if the two associations feel they can find a common ground on which to work and if so to plan a larger conference next spring. Dr. Sturgis E. Leavitt of the University, former chairman and now editor of the Southern Hu manities Conference, welcomed the group to the University at the opening session yesterday after noon. Speakers included Dr. Ellsworth Chunn, education director, South ern division, National Association of Manufacturers, Atlanta; - Dr. A. G. A.

Art Exhibition On Display At Person Hall An exhibition of water colors and drawings, selected from the annual exhibition of the Whitney Museum of American Art, is being shown in Person Hall Art Gallery. Many nationally known Ameri can artists are represented, such as Lyonel Feininger, John Marin, Morris Graves, Hans Hofmann, and Jackson Pollock. Their works set the pace for the exhibit, reflect ing in ' their various styles the I many facets of contemporary art. Also shown are works of Rich ard Koppe, Willem de'Kooning, and Gabor Peterdi. "The many styles do not detract from the impact of the exhibit, but rather compliment one another. This assures a ct heasive and forceful review of the important elements of modern art," said John Alcott. perature of 34 degrees being 12 degrees colder than the lowest ever recorded on that date. Today it will start warming up a little, but last night the tem perature went down to "28 de grees. All this freakish cold and snow is due to a storm off the coast of North Carolina which has been sending icy northeasterly blasts down our necks. Chapel Hill service stations yesterday reported a boom on anti-freeze that started early, in the morning and never let up. One service station said they had about 30 cars at a time all day long. Another station re ported having 12 boys doing no thing but put In anti-freeze since 8. in the morning and esti mated that by 4 in the afternoon they had serviced over a thous and cars. . A fuel company said they had a lot of calls for coal and oil, since most people seem to wait for the first cold snap before getting in their fuel supply. The clothing stores downtown had a run on topcoats, raincoats, hats and gloves. One clothing merchant said he had sold out all his rain hats, and most of his felt hats, besides doing a brisk business in heavy tweed top coats. Other stores also report ed heavy sales in weatherproof apparel. ' Doctor Linker Helps Launch Cobb Smokers Dr. Robert L. Linker, professor in the French department, opened a series of Cobb dorm "smokers" this week. In an informal chat with aBout 100 Cobb men, Dr. Linker dis cussed "the good old days in Chap el Hill," stressing the fact that student-faculty relationship is hot now as close as it once was. Dr. Linker brought out that if a better relationship could be built up college life would mean much more to students, and alum ni returning to the campus would feel they were returning home to visit old friends. A leader in promoting better student-faculty relations for many years, Dr. Linker was awarded a Di-Phi award last year for his ef forts along this line. It was appropriate that Dr. Link er be chosen as Cobb's first guest speaker because it was largely through his efforts as a dormitory club member while a student here that the first provision for social rooms was made.

Princeton Prexy Denounces ROTC As 'Intellectually Thin' PRINCETON, N. J., Nov. 6 The Reserve Officers' Training Corps structure in the American college is made up of subjects that are "intellectually thin" and man ly concerned with "dull memoriz ing of detailed facts," according to President Harold M. Dodds of Princeton University. Dr. Dodds said that this is the most basic faculty criticism of the system and Is a sound one. "The defects in the ROTC studies should be corrected," he added. His remedy calls for a close integration befween college and ROTC courses, and a closer alli ance between academic and mili tary professors. He pointed out that "total war is more than a strictly military problem. The 'know why' is an essential element of the know how' and should be part of the equipment of an ROTC graduate." At Princeton, Dr. Dodds pointed ; out, the history department has opened a new course in military history which is required for ROTC students and also open as an elective. Results have been pleasing to both academic and military professors. He also suggested a course in geopolitics. "Officers and civilians alike need fuller knowledge of the economic as well as political uses of manpower and resources, and of the impact of military policies ' upon our economy," he said. "Collegese should be permitted to compress the courses into few- Jt a President Comments. Gray Not Impressed By Merii Of Accreditation The question of accreditation for Carolina's un-accredited School of Journalism brought comment from President Gordon Gray yesterday. "I'm not impressed by accreditation,", he said, "I feel," Gray said, "that, an ag- credited standing is not very important, for the School of Journ alism." Moreover, he said, "J am not convinced of tUft worth of accreditation in general, except in cases involving legal require ment." Gray's comments , came in re sponse to Daily Tar Heel ques tions. The Daily Tar Heel recently took an editorial stand in opposi tion to t!ie selection of Dr. N. N. Luxon as Dean of the Journalism School. The editorial suggested Luxon, a Ph.D., was chosen over present professors in the school in order to bolster the school's' case for an accredited rating. But Gray said accreditation didn't enter into the decision. He. said he felt there are some schools with an accredited rating which "don't match" the Carolina School of Journalism. Accreditation for a journalism school can come from any 6T a number of national accrediting agencies. The school here has not been accredited since it became a school several years ago. SUAB Frolic Features Televised Game Today The televised North Carolfha South Carolina football game will be the main feature of today's Saturday Afternoon Frolic, which includes refreshments and infloor entertainment. It will be at the Main Lounge of Graham Memor ial. Sponsored by the Recreation Committee of SUAB, the Fr0!ic, which is held on Saturdays of out-of-town games, will be pre sented from two to five o'clock, er classroom hours and exercises. The cure for the scholastic thfn- ness of the ROTC curricula is not to load on more of the same stuff," Dr. Dodds continued. The criticism that civilian and military discipline do not mix is without foundation," he said. He pointed out that discipline in the ROTC has little semblance to dis cipline in actual service duty. "The campus remains distinctly civilian in spirit, and the same is true for the officer candidates," ne concluded. - For Fuller Lives ' - Rev. Jones Urges "The YMCA should give a stu- dent the chance to relate what he is learning with what he ought to be to men, to himself, to God," Rev. Charlie Jones told a Y gathering this week. "College has a way of dividing a person into parts' he said. When we study, the Englishman t doesn't know the psychology-man is alive. The math-self doesn't know the English-self is present. We live with segments of time and segments of self. "Perhaps religion gets into the student's life too on Sunday morning," he continued. "Some people think of religion as a fel lowship with God only. It then becomes mystical.

One SP member of the commit tee refused to sign the committee's report. Another SP member signed the report Thursday, but later the same day indicated he would with draw his name. Still another SP member signed the report, But agreed with those who refused to okay it that there was a statement in it which had no business being there. And there's one SP man who didn't sign the report because Bill Brown, chairman of the commit tee, couldn't find him Thursday. This one was reportedly "glad that they didn't find him." Then there's the UP point of view. Three UP men on the com mittee signed the report. Their fourth man went to the first com mittee meeting, got sick, and spent the next two weeks in the infirm ary. He said yesterday that he hasn't seen the report and doesnt know what the committee has done. And one of the UP men who did sign the report said yesterday that the SP members' point in not signing the report "was well taken." The whole thing started about two weeks ago when Gene Cook, chairman of the SP, accused Gor ham of choosing too many fratern ity men as orientation counselors. Cook threatened to bring a bill before Legislature to create an Orientation investigating commit teee. But he and Gorham went into a compromise huddle, fn . which Cook asked that a commit- tee be set up to study orientation and that an equal number of men j from each party be put on the I committee. , Cook said that his charges must be answered. Both Cook and Gor- ham agreed that politics should not enter into the committefis operations. Gorham set up an eight-man committee with Brown as chairman. Cook, Gordon Fores- iter. Joel Fleishman and Don Geie- er were appointed from the SP; I (See POLITICS, page 4) forthcoming soon. Relation Of Facts And Ideals religion as creeds and beliefs. If one thinks of religion in thesfe ways, he doesn't have much. Reli gion should be an integration of everything." He pointed out that the YMCA could be the means by which the student "comes to a higher reali- zation of fellowship with God." Mr. Jones added, "We are, as col- lege students, apt to run from this fellowship because we do not understand it." "In the academic field," he said, "we learn a lot about eco nomics and sociology. Relationship of economics to sociology we do not learn.""" After college it is relationships that are important Unless we can Allocation Said Okay At Present By Charles Kuralt President Gordon Gray yester day defended the Admiinstration allocation of $10,000 of last year's campus store profits to athletic grants-in-aid. Gray said he thought the funds 25 percent of the $40,000 store profits- "should have gone to ath letes under the circumstances.". But he made' it clear he doesn't think a slice of the mqney should necessarily continue to go for athletic grants in the future. The $30,000 bulk of the funds went into the University's general scholarship fund, but will be ad ministered as "grants-in-aid." It was "a combination of fat tors," Gray said, which led to the Administration's allocation of the money to athletic grants. These are two of the factors he referred to? The profits from the stores were turned into grants-in-aid last year by order of the University Board of Trus tees. The Board GRAY gave the Administration a free hand with regard to "nature and number" of the grants. It avoided mention of the word, "scholar ship." It did not make scholastic attainment a prime basis for mak ing the awards. And at the time of the alloca tion of the $10,000 to athletes, St least $30,000 of book store profits was going for athletic subsidy at North Carolina State College. Because of these two situations, the Administration felt justified in delivering the profits slice to athletic grants here.'" However, Gray pointed to his statement on the subject made two days ago. In that statement, the President indicated he is !not convinced scholarships de rived from student money should be earmarked for athletes, or "any ; P-rticular group of students." Store profits allocation at State is being steadily reduced by Ad ministration order. It is believed this could mean elimination of the allocation for athletic grants at both State and Carolina in the next few years. And Gray reminded of two other facts: That students other than athletes benefit by the pres ent arrangement. They get $30,000 in scholarships they have not re ceived before. In addition, Gray said, "In all this discussion about what should be done with the money, we are likely to overlook the fact that athletes are students, too." "I believe," he said, "that the normal scholastic average among participants in varsity sports is higher than the student body average.". Gray indicated a detailed Ad ministration statement on the grants-in-aid question may be rightly relate ourselves to thirigs that we eat and wear, people we know, we have missed some thing," the pastor continued. He said that the University Is a good place "to learn to appreci ate people. Now is our chance to get out and relate ourselves to people of different faiths and out looks. This is part of the avenue of life that the Y offers." "If you can bring the things of life, relationships of people, and the relationships of the ultimate together, you have brought every thing together," added Jones. "It is difficult to live a whole life, yet, until you do, you don't find the true purpose of yourself and the University," he concluded. ' 1 r ' J ' &J
