(Third In A Series Of Four)
Coeds do drink.
Despite a strongly-stated rule
in the Woman's Handbook and a
Trustee rule, some students in
cluding coeds drink. And in view
of the effectiveness of past rules
cn student drinking, this isn't real
ly surprising.
Looking over the history of the
student and drink, one can see that
no rule (concerning drinking or
anything else) can be enforced if
an insistent minority refuses to
obey it. This has been the case
with Carolina's drinking rules from
the days of William R. Davie to
those of Gordon Gray.
This rule-breaking is, what stu
dent leaders punching away for
coed drinking have tried to rem
edy. They have termed present
rules "hypocritical."
But the Administration, with an
eye to the strong dry sentiment in
the state, has in effect said, "no."
In their diplomatic way, however,
South Building leaders have never
given a direct thumbs-down to stu
dent requests, but their position
As clear.
While students wait and admin
istrators deliberate, that public
opinion makes itself heard, even in
letters from home. Here is what
one mother writes to her son at
Carolina:
"... The University is getting
entirely too much advertisement j
on the question. If there are a few
! coeds who must drink, why don't
the officials send them home and
let them drink all they want to?
We surely don't want that type of
girl filling up our state universi
ty. Anyway, the catalog states that
drinking isn't allowed.
"If I were in the majority (and
I am sure it is the majority) that
doesnt drink, I would certainly
resent the fact that intimation is
Kin & ma Ac that all coeds drink. I
would surely raise sand, too, if I
were a parent of one of the girls
"Yes, I know you will say that
I was bom 50 years too soon, but
the standards of decency are the
same; the American people are
just getting lax. I think it is a dis-
erace to any institution to adver
tise that the girls drink. If they
drink in college, what is going to
happen to their homes four or five
years from now? ..."
That's what might be called a
typical letter from an anti-liquor
home, an honest reaction to an
ancient situation in the Univer
sity that recently has come under
discussion again.
The "advertisement" to which
this parent refers is the thorough
sounding out of all opinions on a
nroblem that must be brought out
in the open and dealt with realis
tically.
Coeds' pleas to have drinking
privileges go beyond the mere de
sire to have legalized cocktail
parties. Coeds can't legally come
into fraternity houses when men
are drinking. Many men who go
to college the same as the par
ents who send their children to
school and write them letters from
home like to drink sometimes.
Thus, the men date other girls,
and the coeds sit home because of
the stigma of a rule, not because

. if there are a few, send them home
they want to drink.
Coeds who drink in college, nat
urally, will probably drink in
"their homes four or five years
from now." But they won't neces
sarily be alcoholics, if they are
allowed to drink in the polite
bounds of a fraternity living room
rather than in parked cars.
Thus, both sides wrestle with
the problem. Meantime, we oper
ate with definite rules that are
consistently broken.

"The University needs you and
you need the University," Chan
cellor R. B. House told seniors at
their class meeting this week. He
was "talking about the General
Alumni Association.
Seniors of the Class of 1954 are
having their first opportunity this
week to join the University Alum
ni Association, a group that en
ables Carolina men and women to
keep up with the activities of
their class and Chapel Hill.
There are perhaps 75 or . more
organized alumni groups both
inside and outside the state. These
groups meet from time to time
and the Alumni Office's mailing
lists are used for extending, invi
tations. Dues-paying members elect
officers of the Alumni Associa
tion. On the board of directors
are alumni who represent local
alumni groups, alumni classes, and
students currently enrolled in the
University.
Membership in the association
entitles its members to, among
other things, a subscription to the
Alumni. Review, which comes out
ten months every year.
Regular annual dues for mem
bership in the association are $5,
but for first year alumni there is
a special "get acquainted" offer
of $1.

mittee has a booth in Y Court
which will be open through 1
o'clock tomorrow.
delayed rushing for freshmen, and
plans to vote on the issue at its
meeting Monday. It holds a 39-11
Legislature majority and could
pass it if it wanted to even over
a presidential veto.
Fraternity representatives were
invited to the discussion by Char
lie Dean, chairman of the SP in
vestigating committee. About 15
fraternities responded.
"The IFC has already investi
gated and discussed the problem
at great length," said Bill Ruff in,
chairman of the IFC Delayed

unanimously against the motion.
"We investigated several other
schools, including Duke and Vir
ginia, which have delayed rushing
now, and who indicated that they
want to change. Duke has admit
ted the system is no good, and
boys from Virginia whom I've
talked to agree."
- Chairman Dean repeatedly re
minded the group that the com
mittee is "not here to take action
only to investigate," as tempers
flared occasionally during the
meeting.

Tom Creasy yesterday announced
the appointment of a "coalition"
cabinet for next year.
The new cabinet members are
Ed McCurry (UP), Martin Jordan
(UP), Joel Fleishman (SP). Don
Geiger (SP), Sonia Bergan (SP),
Bill Sebastian (Ind.), John Med

Babbie Dilorio (UP), and Don
Fowler (SP).
In making the appointments
Creasy said, "I feel that I am very
fortunate to have such an out
standing cabinet to work with me
for the coming year. I sincerely
believe that this coalition cabinet
is a big step toward more cooper
ation and better relations between
both parties."
istration felt something was wrong
here, they'd come to us first about
it."
Questions raised by the Student
Party committee for discussion
were: Do freshmen get ample
time to study during the pledge
ship period; and, are freshmen
sure that they want to join fra
ternities after so short a time on
campus? (Rushing begins in early
October.)
"There is no pressure for fresh
men to join fraternities," answered
Joe Mavrefid, Phi Gam. "They
only rush ii they want to." Mavre
fid told the meeting of his trip
to the Interfraternity Conference
held in Cincinnati over Thanks
giving. "We discussed this very
problem," he explained, "and
brought up several of these same
points." He added that the con
ference finally voted to oppose
delayed rushing.
"The main (SP) bone of con
tention," said Marty -Joyner, KA,
"is that freshmen aren't being
shown fair treatment, in requir
ing them to go through rushing so
soon after they enter the Univer
sity. I do not agree with this
