The president, Celal Bayar, his Library To Be Opt en Later On Saturday Night By Dick Creed' . . The University gained a new first yesterday with the announce ment that the library here will be open Saturday at regular week day hours. By changing closing time on Saturday nights from 5 p.m. to 10:45 p.m. the library serves the campus and Chapel Hill a total of 982 hours per week. According to the United States Office of Educa tino Survey, that's tops in the number of hours open per week for college libraries in the coun try. Olan V. Cook, assistant librarian, in announcing the new schedule, said yesterday that the library will make a survey from now until June to see whether enough stu dents use the library on weekends to justify the lengthened hours. Cook said earlier this week that "all necessary work could be done" without keeping the library open on Saturday nights. "In lengthening the hours," said u., it m.v ncu, - lT down some of the services now in effect." He said tnat tne norary must stav within its budget, and will have to rearrange the person nel it already has to meet the new schedule. The Circulation desk, the re serve reading room, the general college library, the current affairs reading room, the reference de partment, and the economics and business administration library will all be open, until 10:45 p.m. Monday through Saturday. No change has been made in the Sun day hours. In The Daily Tar Heel of last Friday, an editorial said, "The library is not open long enough on weekends. Its 633,000 books are shut up from the 5,800 students on those days when the students have the greatest period of free time." Cook decried the "laughing and talking" in the library and the littering of the library with paper cups and waste paper. The changes in the library schedule were made with the ap proval of Charles E. Rush, director of libraries.

God Is The Heart Of Man, Sockman Tells UNC Audience By Jennie Lynn j "There is something greater than all materialism, something within the heart of man that cannot be destroyed," one of America's foremost religious leaders said here last night. , , irhe speaker, Dr. Ralph Sockman of Christ Church, New York City, Di Is Against Direct Vote For President :-' A bill designed to do away with the - electoral ; college in the : elec tion of - the President and -Vice- President of the United States was defeated by a 13-9 vote in the Di alectic" Senate at its meeting this week. Hhe bill, which was introduced by Senator Bob Harrington, called for the "direct election of the President and Vice-President by a majority of the voters." It would have abolished the system by which the vote of a state is given, usually in toto, to the candidate who carries it. Backers of the bill, in. speaking for its adoption, reminded the body that eleven presidents of the United States had been elected with a minority of the total votes and that several had achieved that office without even a plurality over their leading opponent. They argued that such occurrences were incompatible with the idea of American democracy. Joel Fleishman, speaking for the bill, pointed out that the present system increases the importance of a few states with a majority of the electoral vote and, in presiden tial elections, "invites the dom ination of small, minority pressure groups." Opponents of the night's bill argued that its adoption would in vite the creation of a "multitude of splinter or sectional parties." They warned that such a situation would lead to constant chaos in government similar to that con stantly facing the French Repub lie.

These, he told his Hill Hall audi ence of about 700, are: 1. Where ; churches meet the church. 2. Where freedom meets authority. 3. "Where personal vir tues meet bur social needs. 4. Where faith meets our fears. - Heart Is Force . Abpiit No. 1, Dr. Sockman' said, "America - is a land of churches. Everywhere new communities arise a new church , is quickly buiit . . . Yet' churches are, born ; in pente- cost . . . and churches need to rise above secularism. The hearts of the people are the fundamental force." "Many times we Americans have thought we could achieve per sonal freedoms in foreign nations by killing off dictators," the speak er said concerning freedom and authority. "Let's not fool ourselv es. We do not safeguard freedom by killing. We must reach the heart and mind. We must learn those disciplines of liberty by ap pealing to the free mind. What Makes America "We assume that the American way of life is the best way. We think we must convince other na tions by proclaiming ownership of the best automobiles, refriger ators, etc. "Let us spend less time telling others what America makes. Let them see what .makes America." What about point thfeer where personal virtues reach our social needs? Dr. Sockman said we must preserve the individual sense of values in order to see the world horizons. "I don't need to stress this in Chapel Hill, however. I think we agree we can't live in this world except as in a commun ity .. . Of course we must remain in the UN; we must take world problems seriously.
