Kerr Scott Can Get Things Done,
Stumper Edwards Says In Talk
By Stan Smith
"Kerr Scott, in his four years as governor, demonstrated more than
anything else his ability to get things done," said Dan K. Edwards, for
mer mayor of Durham, speaking before the Students for Scott Club
last night in Lenoir Hall.
Talking on "What Kerr Scott Can Do in the Senate," he noted that
hp former governor "will take lo
Congress a humanitarian approach,
an attitude of practicality, honesty,
and above all, the courage and
ability to fight."
Edwards, who is Scott's campaign
manager for Durham County, indi
cated he knew what he was talking
tbout. He opposed Scott twice in
the Legislature, on the issues of
public power and rural roads. On
the roads question, which was hot
ly debated, there were just two
opposing votes in the final count
and Edwards was one. Scott had
won over the rest.
"I don't know what his specific
attitude on certain issues will be,"
he continued, "yet we know what
those issues will be. They include
international relations, taxation,
resources, and public utilities.
"And I'm sure that Scott will use
his brand of homespun thinking,
backed up by practicality and abil
ity to get things done."

Talk 7 ins
t Agreed In 1952
Coed Visiting
Study Started
Spring, 1951
Here is the history of attempts
to change the fraternity coed vis
iting agreement:
Negotiations began in the spring
of 1951 between the Inter-Fraternity
Council and the University
administration to bring a new
coed visiting agreement into ef
fect . - -
Those negotiations resulted in
an agreement in 1952 which stated
that coeds might not drink in
fraternity houses or remain in the
presence of others who were
drinking. That agreement re
mained in effect until midnight,
March 31, when it was revoked by
the Inter-Fraternity Council.
Since then, D7C representatives
have met twice with Dean of Stu
dents Fed Weaver and twice with
Dean of Women Students Kathcr
ine Carmichael. Two meetings
have been held which brought to
gether student body President
Bob Gorham's executive council,
the IFC executive committee,
Dean Weaver and Miss Carmich
ael, -and Dean Weaver's -administrative
board, which includes fac
ulty members.
After learning of the IFC's
action changing the visiting agree
ment Dean Weaver issued his
statement suspending all visiting
in fraternity houses by coeds. The
students, while agreeing to sup
port the administration in en
forcing the prohibition of coeds
from fraternities, decided to stand
on the IFC action changing the
rule and permitting coeds to
drink in fraternity houses.

Coed Drinking,
Nothing Less,
Say Students
Coeds Now Barred
From Fraternities;
Meetings Continue
By Charles Kuralt
With student leaders holding out
for nothing less than coed drink
ing in fraternity houses and the
Administration thus far unyielding,
both sides went through another
lengthy meeting yesterday with no
solution. -
So coeds not only can't drink
in the fraternity houses at present,
they can't even go into one.
The Coed Visiting Agreement,
revoked over the weekend by the
Dean of Students when he said
the students abrogated it by tak
ing for themselves the privilege
of mixed drinking, sets the visiting
rules for women students in fra
ternity houses.
The controversy has been brew
ing since April 1, when student
President Bob Gorham presented
to the Administration a statement
passed by the Inter-Fraternity
Council revoking parts of the Visit
ing Privileges Agreement.
"Women students," the state
ment said, "will now be allowed
to drink in fraternity houses with
fraternity men."
An addition to the visiting agree
ment put fraternity men and wo
men students on their honor to
report violations of "acceptable
social conduct" and made viola
tions by fraternities subject to
IFC Court jurisdiction.
.The student leaders have stood
fast on their action. A spokesman
for the students said yesterday,
"We will not use the old agree
ment in any way, shape, or form."
The student spokesman, who ask
ed that he not be named, said,
however, that the students agree
that the final decision on the mat
ter lies with the faculty, and that
further conferences on a new
agreement will be directed toward
finding "something that will be
agreeable to students and faculty
alike."
Yesterday's meeting yielded no
thing concrete. The two sides will
meet again later this week for
more negotiation. Meanwhile, coeds
may not set foot on fraternity
property.
Dean Weaver said last night any
public statement from him might
be "prejudicial," since negotia
tions are still going on. There is
ro indication whether or not the
Administration is willing to per
mit coed drinking in any form.
The independent action by the
IFC, student leaders maintain, was
not a hasty move. They point to
years of negotiation of the matter
cf coed drinking and seem agreed
that the best chance of an eventual
agreement on drinking by women
students in fraternity houses lies
through independent action.
Dean Weaver's contrary opinion
strongly stresses the view that Ad
ministration approval is necessary
to change the coed visiting rule.
Special permission after South
Building had revoked the agree
ment was granted last weekend
to two campus fraternities which
had planned to hold parties under
the revised rule. Theta Chi fra
ternity had coed drinking in the
fraternity house Saturday after
noon. The Administration SDecified
that chaperones be present, and
the fraternity complied. Phi Gam
ma Delta fraternity also held a
scheduled party with coeds pres
ent. All groups represented in the
series of conferences are agreed
that a satisfactory settlement of
the matter will be made.
But nobody has a guess as to
when. And there is yet no glim
mer of the nature of a possible
compromise.
