FRIDAY,, MARCH 26, 1954 Offices in Graham Memorial FOUR PAGES TODAY Coed Drinking In Frats, Dorms Asked By Geiger i By James Wright Don Geiger, Student Party presidential nominee, speaking last night before the student Legislature, called for striking out the Coed Visiting Agreement resmciuma uu uuuuio lu umms ana iraiermiy nouses, "in his first major speech as presidential candidate Geiger siad, "I propose that the Intpr-FrntomHv - - - .-.I. J i yt - council, as an agency of student government, take out of the visit ing agreement any restrictions on drinking in fraternity houses in order to allow the freedom of con duct m the dorms and fraternity houses which we have a right to expect of Carolina ladies and gentlemen." Legislative business of the eve ning included the passage of reso lutions calling for a more liberal and uniform cut svstem for the - . abolishment of physical education requirements for veterans, the scheduling of two free weekends per semester, also resolutions for the establishment of a more favor able exam schedule, a reading period after the last day of clas ses, and a resolution to give . stu dents lower laundry rates. There were no "nays" voiced in opposi tion to these measures. Candidate Geiger, in proposing action to strike out drinking re strictions, expressed the desire to see this type of action "in working out solutions to all of our prob lems." Geiger commented, "If the will is there, and I believe the Student Party has demonstrated the will, we can go forward to a new per iod of vital, active and interested student government." Coeds Discuss Sorority Life In Workshop So often we want to be out in head of the pack, we get petty and lose our ideals," Sue Ambler said at the Panhellenic Workshop yes terdav afternoon in Carroll HalL Sue said that sorority girls many times lose the "why" in the me chanics of social life. "Quit wor rying about getting ahead of the Joneses," she said, "and let's put more heart into otir goals. "To be a good social person you need to be organized. Jt is im portant to plan your year's sched ule at the beginning of the semes ter, leaving adequate time for scholastics." Pledge problems were brought out by Emily Cook, who said that the sorority should help the new girl in her participation in cam pus activities and sorority duties. "Ouftide activities are of value to every student," said Harriet Mavnard. "From an individual standpoint they are personality builders. There is no better way to learn how to get along with people than by working together." She said that activities also bring out and help to develop talents of stu dents, but stressed the importance of a girl's limiting her activities to her capabilities. Judy King opened the workshop by telling the purposes and setup of local and national Panhellenic. Recommendations for local Pan hel were discussed. It was suggested that Panhel lenic could improve housemother sororitv relations. This could be done by giving the housemother more consideration and authority, and inviting her to house meetings whenever possible. Next year Panhellenic has plans to start rush on the first day. of Hasspc instead of having a week's interval between the start of clas ses and the first party. There will be strict silence dur ing this week and better provi sions for transfer sorority girls, of rush rules for rushees. Nancy Shaw suggested that rush be run bv preferential parties, where the rushee would let ,the sorority know how she felt, and in turn would have some idea how the sororitv felt about her. Hirlc tnlrincr nnrt. in the talks 1 were Judy King, Sue Ambler, Em ily Cook, Harriet Maynard, Joanne Murphy, Mary Helen Crain, Dottie Figel, Louise Coffee, Barbara Beasley, Ann Flemming, Carol Butts, Nancy Whisonant, Susan East, Bobbie Walker, Daphne Adams and Bev Blemker. Grcrcf Student John R. Jones Wins Fulbright Award Covers Study In Paris One Year; Jones Sails In Fall Students at the University of Paris next year will have a chance to observe the typical American in name, that is when John R. Jones, student in the Graduate School here, s starts his govern ment-sponsored studies in the French university. Jones, who comes from Hunts ville, Ala., was recently announced winner of a Fulbright scholarship, which provides for one year's study abroad. Jones is interested in French foreign policy, and selected the University of Paris. The scholarship winner, along with other Americans bound for France on Fulbright grants, will go to New York in September be fore sailing for France. He will go through a month's orientation in Paris before starting his studies. He says he has three and a half years of French, and plans "to spend most of the summer prepar ing for the conversation." Fulbright scholarships, awarded for study in most European and Asian countries, were the plan of Sen. J. William Fulbright, "Demo crat from Arkansas.

Stilwell Says Peacock Won Kuralt Over Accept Individual On Ability, Not On Color Of Skin, Boyd Says " By Tom Clark . "A person should be accepted or what he can do and not for the pigment of his skin. To me that is democracy," said Dr. William uoya at the last session of the YMCA, YWCA-sponsored Human Relations Institute in Carroll Hall last night. Dr. Boyd, professor and depart- ment chairman of tne ronucai Science Department ot Aiianid TTniversitv. snoke on "Looking For ward: The Effect of the Supreme Court Decision on Race Relations in the South." "The NAACP came to the con- elusion " Dr. Boyd said, mai u was not their desire to have Ne- wc and eirls associate witn &1 . . j white boys and girls as an eim. in itself, but that they wanted their children to have an educa-) tion as good as that of the whites. "Nowhere," he continued, "was it revealed that separate facilities were equal facilities." r Referring to the proposals of certain Southern governors to skirt the issues, Dr. Boyd said he did not thing that "the demagogue speaks for the majority. I do not believe." he continued, "that the South is as lawless as they would have you believe." rr Rovd aereed with an edi torial of Ralph McGill of the At lanta Constitution that "legal seg relation is on the way out." It is "inevitable," Boyd said, "and Mr. Talmadge and Mr. Byrnes cannot stop it." However, he added, that "because there is a law saying there will be no segregation, it does not mean there is none." He said that although the Tal madge proposal to abolish public schools in the event the Supreme Court rules against f segregation, "does not have as much support in the state of Georgia as some peo ple would have you believe." "Eleven days still remain before campus elections are held and Tom Peacock has already won a vic tory," his campaign manager said yesterday. "He has apparently converted his opponent on the question of athletics at Carolina and athletics in general," Jack Stilwell said in j behalf of Peacock. Peacock is run , ning independently for the editor I ship of The Daily Tar Heel against doubly-endorsed Charles Kuralt. Stilwell said Kuralt had "ex- Dressed accord" with Editor Rolfe Neill when Neill started hammer- j ing away on big-time athletics back j in November. "Hater on, when faced with the grip of political expediency in. order to obtain a nomination from one of the politi cal parties, Kuralt modified his views and said that he was in fa vor of the athletic program with one exception, declining, however, to mention exactly what that ex ception was." " ' Stilwell said Kuralt had "com promised his original position." Kuralt stated in yesterday's paper that he favors "complete student, faculty, " administration, alumni, and general public support for all Carolina athletics." Stilwell said in his prepared statement that Kuralt "is also thin ice" when ne (See PEACOCK, page 4) SP's Platform Given In Part By Chairman Two Free Saturdays, Reading Day, Parking On Campus Included Henry Lowet, chairman of the Student Party, yesterday released a portion of the SP's spring plat form and promised all students a "continuation of the Good Deal." Lowet outlined six points and in a prepared statement promised, "All our candidates will strive, if elected, to improve the student community as a whole with effec tive leadership and hard work.' The six platform planks re leased yesterday stated: "1. We shall work to obtain two class-free Saturdays per semester for football caravans, beach par ties, or just catching up on studies. "2. The SP believes that UNC students would benefit from a reading period before exams be gin. We shall make every endeav or to realize this goal. "3. With the hospital completed, the way is paved for an infirmary visiting agreement. The SP shall try to negotiate these visiting hours with the proper authorities. "4. With 2,000 cars on campus, we feel that students should have the right to park their autos on campus after 1 p.m. on weekdays. The SP will make every endeavor to see this through. '5. Foreign students should have a better integration into the student community. The SP be lieves that an administrative com mission should spare no effort in providing increased hospitality and services to the foreign student. "6. Phys. Ed. students now have two less cuts than under the quar ter system. The SP shall seek to negotiate two additional cuts per semester. In regard to Phys. Ed., the SP stands opposed to veterans' having to participate in this program." rusfee ComrraiSiee campus On C To S urvey Today Needs The needs and problems of the University will be surveyed today and tomorrow bv three members of the Visiting Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Consolidated University.

Human Relations Conferences Discuss Segregation Problems on the UNC Beach Bound Carolina may go to the beach this weekend, but the weather man won't. The government's forecast out at the Raleigh-Durham airport said yesterday that Saturday and Sunday would "not quite" be beach days. "Not for me, any way," the forecaster said. Though he had no definite forecast for the weekend, the weatherman said he expected scattered thunderstorms along the coast last night and this morning, turning colder tonight, and fair and cooler tomorrow and Sundiy. Expected tempera tures at the beach for the week end were in the middle 60's and the low 70's. "That's just a little too chilly for me," the forecaster said. But, no matter what the wea therman says, Carolina will go to the beach, where the Wil mington Azalea Festival will be in full bloom.
