Pierre Aubery, Duke University graduate student and former French newspaper reporter and correspondent, spoke informally about problems and journalistic sidelights he encountered concern ing coverage of the political news in Paris for provincial newspapers. He described the newspaper re porter's lot in France as "very de pressing." "You Americans are far more inf onnation-minded . than . Euro peans and could therefore eventu ally reach the ideal of freedom of the press while we are drifting away from it every day," Aubery said. House's answer said in part: . - .

It All Began When Commencement Liquor Disappeared Drinking Discipline Has Shifted From Trustees To The Faculty I n ""t 1 f-wM. v X v4i Pi Hh: i 't i i n ii .in" nif iwiih il Left to Right: Ahh Tew, Martha Cowell, Geff Johnson. Lucia Trexel v ' campus visiting ban leaves them dressed up, noplace to go By LOUIS KRAAR One afternoon in Raleigh 98 yeans ago the University Trustees became disturbed about stu dent drinking. They had been disturbed about it before, and they made rules. So they made another rule that afternoon. And since then, the Board of Trustees has been making and revising rules concerning student drinking with regularity and regular in consistency. The Trustees emphasized their disapproval of drinking that afternoon in 1856 by passing a law depriving the faculty of power to reinstate be fore two months a student dismissed for drunk enness. Meantime, on the campus of the oldest state university student life was something like this, according to historian Archibald Henderson: "The students appear to have spent most of their time eating, drinking, card-playing, reading and sleeping." The stiffer rules about drinking almost got in the way of most student leaders' graduation here in the spring of 1880. According to a long-standing custom, senior officers planning com mencement always purchased liquor and wine for Trustee visitors. This particular spring, on the night before the ceremony, some students broke in the building where the liquor was stored. And from the looks of the rule books, the officers of the Senior Class were going to have to take the penalty for their delinquent classmates. OF N.C Painter In Planetarium Exhibit Two new art exhibits, one by a resident North Carolinian, open officially this week in the Genevieve B. Morehead Art Galleries at the Morehead Building. A selection of 25 water color paintings by Geoffrey Jenkinson of Thomasville will be placed on ex hibit today along with a group of woodcuts by John Bernhardt of New York. Jenkinson is a 28 year-old Eng lish born artist, one of whose paintings was hung in the Royal Academy in London when he was only 21 years of age. His migra tion to America resulted from avid reading of this nation and his de cision to try his hand at painting American scenery. He arrived in America almost penniless and went to High Point where he knew his only friend. Unable to get a job at first, he worked for an art firm in High Point, and slept in a sleep ing bag on the floor of the shop at nights. His earnings averaged only about $5 a. week. Officials of the .
