Phoro Krqqr.fo Fill Executive Post In NS A Group Louis Kraar, Charl6tte, associate editor of iThe Daily Tar Heel, has been named a member of the in- committee of an independent national group composed of 24 college editors from all pari s of the country to pnnsidpr thf If ? prooiem oi censorship in Kraar the student press. Announcement of Kraar's ap pointment to the 10-member na tional executive committee, which represents wide geographic dis tribution of college weeklies and dailies, was made at the meeting of the Seventh National Student Association Congress held recent ly at Iowa State College. Called the National Association for a Free College Press, .the new group hopes to provide a mechan ism for investigation of alleged breaches of editorial freedom in the college press, and for report ing its finding throughout the country. Kraar held several positions with The Daily Tar Heel before his promotion to associate editor, be ing managing editor last year. He has also served on the staff of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and worked with the Chapel Hill News Leader this summer. According to procedure set up by the newly-formed association, action on an alleged violation of press freedom would be initiated when an editor of the campus pa per involved notified the executive committee chairman. The chairman, would then . con tact the executive committee mem ber nearest the paper to establish an investigtaion group including a member of the national advisory board and several other college editors in the area. The new group's stated belief is that the censoring agency, wheth er it be student government, uni versity administration or soma outside group directly influencing the administration, would be high ly sensitive to the prospect of hav ing its censoring activity reported throughout the country with re sultant national publicity. Melon Festival Drew Big Gate The annual Chapel Hill Water melon Festival highlighted local activities for the month of June. The Festival, held June 25 un der the Davie Poplar, drew a crowd of more than 1,000 towns people, summer-school sutdents and faculty members. Climaxing the affair was the crowning of the Festival Queen, Miss Barbara Stone and her king, assistant Tar Heel football coach Marvin Bass.

Chancellor Bostian said that an increase would "de prive many youths of an oppor tunity to obtain technical train ing." president Gordon Gray express ed tne hope that "it will not be necessary to raise costs to the students." It is a North Carolina tradtion, he said, t o provide ij.it.iier education wnich. is as near as possible tuition free. nd Chancellor E. K. Graham of Woman s College said that a tuition raise at his institution would be "perfectly disasterous," acicung that it would be difficult lo snow this in figures. Consolidated University Vice President W. D. Carmichael orougnt open the question of in creased clurm rent when he told the commission that he would jask them to join him in request ing uie legislature to pass an act which would allow the Universi ty to buna dormitories with loans; which could be repaid from rent- dlS. Presently, room rentals to stu dents cover, in most cases, only operational costs. However, Car michael said the rents could be raised to cover the cost of con struction, too, without "undue hardship" on the students. President Gray asked for an increase in his general adminis tration budget from $79,207 this year to $129,263 the first year of the next biennium and $188,255 the second year.

And the mother ex plained to her young son about a far-off land called India. After it was all over, and the kids were on the way home and the students were on the way to the Y court for a square dance, one couple who were obviously newcomers to Chapel Hill were heard talking: "What kind of poplar tree is a Davie Poplar? I never heard of that kind of wood," the man said.

That was the recommendation of a special committee which in cluded UNC Vice-President Mar tin Jordan at the National Stu dent Association Congress in Ames, la. recently. The Congress approved the group's suggestions- almost unani mouslywith complete backing from all Southern schools. The special committee, appoint ed at the insistence of the Virginia-Carolina region, also suggest ed gradual desegregation for pii mary and secondary schools in the South. More speedy racial inte gration was recommended for the so-called border state areas. The nine-member committee, made up of representatives of j both races from all areas of the i nation, was headed by UNC alum nus AJ Xpwenstein, fonder nation al president of NSA. Student body Vice-President Jordan declared to the Congress, after the group's suggestions were submitted, "These are just words. Personal action by you and me working in human relations areas can be the only final solution re gardless of the nation's decision on a plan of desegregation." Jordan concluded, "It is up to us as students to equalize the rights of all humans as God wishes, I am sure." Carolina's Joel Fleishman and Chal Schley spearheaded a move late in the Congress to get a work able desegregation plan formulat ed. After a series of dramatic Summer' Woodhouse To Direct College Carolina's "Man in the WViite Suit," Prof. Edward James Woodhouse, who decided to "re tire" last spring after 28 yerrs on the UNC faculty, started out af ter a new horizon last month. The 70-year-old educator and former mayor of Northampton, Mass. (1924-25), packed up his books, family and memories of Chapel Hill and moved them all to Conway, S. C. to start and direct a new junior college the Coastal Carolina College in the idounty seat of Kmry County, center qf rich South Carolina tobacco lands. The loved.' professor became a part of Chapel Hill in 1925, the same year he gave up his mayor ship of the Massachusetts city, Since then, he nas become a vital and often outspoken part of Chapel Hill. In May, when the University Young Democrat Club sponsored a "Joe Must Go" parade and rally, the veneralbe Prof. Woodhouse lashed out at the junior senator from Wisconsin, declaring . that ted States, his state and marie the McCarty had "disgiaced the Uni Senate a laughing stock in the ears of the world,." Prof. Woodhouse dressed in one of his familiar white linen suits said he felt "pleased, em barrased, humbled and pround at the same time" when, on the first of June, a handsome por- (See WOODDHOUSE, Page 4) Out DrirD frsifiy I over parliamentary moves, which at one point had the entire UNC delega tion out of their seats drumming up support from other schools, the Carolina delegates got what they wanted. .The special group met day and night for two days, as time was running out. In its final report, the committee stressed the impor tance of "giving special considera tion to the problems of the South.' "We emphasize the extreme im portance of marshaling public opinion as a paramount factor in gaining general acceptance of de segregation," the report declared. The report was praised for both its content and style by Carolina delegates, who included Jim Tur ner, Manning Muntzing, nne Huffman and Norwood Bryan.

The Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees has approved the formation of this Division and the recommendations of President Cifciy and Chancellor House to make Weaver the administrative officer in charge. j The Division of Student Affairs j will comprise the following of ifices and activities. Admissions; 'Records. and Registration; Student Financial Aid, including , scholar ships; Student Activities, in cluding the Student Union, the YMCA and the YWCA; Student Health Service; Testing Service; Counselling; Placement Service; jThe Office of Dean of Women, and Housing. ! As Dean of Student Affairs, 'Chancellor House said, Weaver will j be responsible to the chancellor jfor the development and conduct I of a program of student aff fairs designed to strengthen the edua Itional benefits to the students de riving from their experiences out side the classroom. He will be re sponsible for formulating policies and programs of student welfare and for direction of the activities enumerated above. The Chancellor pointed out that the organizational changes in the area of student affairs are in ac cordance with a plan to organize the administrative structure of the University at Chapel Hill into five j general areas with a single admini strative officer at the head of each under the Chancellor. These are academic affairs, stu dent affairs, business affairs, de-1 velopment and health affairs. This pattern of organization, he said, has been widely adopted in in stitutions of higher eduation in this j country. j (See WEAVER GETS, Page 4) I Hi! Visiting Terms Are Offered Dean Fred H. Weaver declared yesterday that the "University disapproves drinking by stu dents" and went on to outline conditions under which a plan for coed visiting in fraternity houses could be worked out. The three conditions, stated in a letter to student government and fraternity leaders, are basi cally: certain hours for women visitors in fraternity houses, no drinking "within or on the pre mises. . .while women visitors are present," and acceptance of re sponsibility by students for up holding the policy. ' Inter-Fraternity Council Pres ident Henry Issacson said that the IFC plans a meeting Mon day night, at which time the fraternity group "may. consider" Weaver's letter. The drinking statement cof fers from the old visiting agree ment in two respects. There is no distinction between coeds and "imports", or non-coeds. And there are specific hours during which visiting may occur. Weaver also pointed out that there is a chance that resident housemothers will be required of fraternity houses in the near fu ture. The Administrative Board of Student Affairs and other fac ulty members recommended the housemother requirement to the chancellor last spring. "The University disapproves drinking by students and it looks to student government to sup port this policy so far as possi ble," Weaver said. "The fact that the regulation has not been rigidly enforced does not mean that the Univers ity can disregard it or approve a plan which is conflicting with it. "University representa t ives participating in the discussions last spring did not elect to re quest the Trustees to withdraw or modify this rule. Student gov ernment may at any time re nels to the President. Also, every year students are given the op portunity to appear before the Visting Committee of the Eoard of Trustees. They are free to petition for withdrawal or modi fication of the rule at that time," Weaver added. The controversy over drinking specifically drinking in frater nity houses with coeds started last spring when the president of the student body, then Bob Graham, declared that as of April 1, drinking in fraternity houses would be approved. The Administration reacted to the statement by canceling all coed visiting in the houses, and a series of discussions were begun between student, faculty and ad ministration representatives. No specii'ic action was taken by the student - faculty - administration group, although the administra tion and faculty members made suggestions to the chancellor including the housemother one. Just how long it will be before fraternities will be required to have resident housemothers is not known, but it is understood that this was suggested as a long range move. The housemother requirement in the past has raised serious financial questions in fraternity circles. Campus Calendar The campus calendar of corn ing events for the '54-'55 school year is completed and will be available free of charge dur ing open house at Graham Memorial Saturday. The calendar is a wallet sized booklet listing time, and place for cultural, political, and other programs scheduled for the year. There is also space for individual dates and a list of campus organizations and their presidents.
