Film Series Has Artists And Chaplin By RUTH D ALTON A lecture on modern art and a burlesque on grand opera were mixed last night in the second of he Graham Memorial Activities Board's, foreign film series in Car roll Hall. The first of the films was the 1915 "Burlesque on Carmen," star ring the young Charlie Chaplin. nd he was at his best. Between intermittent kicking of the rivals for his decidedly flapperish Car men and the coy fights over her affectations, the audience almost lost their chance to laugh at the typically witty printed dialqgue. This was definitely the silent speech movie at its height. But all was not silent. The musical score was also a burlesque on the classic melodies of Bizet. They were recognizable, but they were still jive. Equally enjoyable, but in an en tirely different mood was the sec ond film, the French "Renoir to Picasso." The English dialogue explained that Auguste Renoir represented a prototype for the sensual painter and brought out his proximity to the style of the ancient Greek sculptors. (See FILMS, Page 4) I , S ,1.' t, f -A i - By DICK CREED "To become more lenient is, in a sense, to tolerate, and to tolerate is to condone." With this statement as his theme, President Tom Creasy last night reiterated to the student Legisla ture in his "State of the Campus' address his stand against a .bill t; provide leniency in the case of first offense violators of the honor sys tem. And later in the same session the Legislature decided to let the student body vote on the bill in a referendum. Creasy had indicated earlier this week that he would veto the bill if it were passed by the Legislature. "There is no degree to honor," said Creasy. "In the words of Dr Frank Graham," he said, "we be come what we tolerate." The bill provides that the usual punishment for first offense vio lators will be probation for a pe riod of not less than one semester. Denmark's Visiting Professor Wants U. S.

We find that many penhagen, who is here under a Ful- things here differ from our home bright scholarship. j ly ways in Scandinavia, but we find Commenting upon his stay in i things even more strange when American so far, Dr. Clausen said, ! we go from Scandinavia to Italy, "In Europe we often wonder why France and Germany. Between the Americans take ice water, which we regard as a dangerous drink. We also wonder why they drive in cars for one or two blocks. Now, I understand better, having felt the heat and the distances. We understand better when we go and see." "I have the habit of going places where thoughts have been born and nourished," said Dr. Clausen. He described visits to Carthage, home of St. Augustine, Basel, where Erasmus lived,1 Bologna, where Roman Law was revived, Levden and Delpht. Dr. Clausen mentioned that in Leyden there is a marble slab on the church in memory of the min ister who, in 1620, sent his con gregation on the first lap of their famous voyage to America. "Now we are at the other end of that journey, and when we leave, we shall certainly know more about the results, both spiritual and poli tical, of the famous emigration," commented Dr. Clausen. ' Concerning differences between PRESIDENT TOM CREASY '. speaks on the state of the campus niency s Creasy said that if the bill were enacted, "those who feared suspen sion before will not fear a warn iilj now." A person rehabilitated when he is sent away to "think a bout what he has done," he said. Cases under the present system of courts are not "cut and dried," he said. "We rarely expel a stu dent," he added. The President also told the Leg islators that the Consolidated Uni versity Student Council is working to reduce the "outrageous prices" charged by the book exchanges here and at State College. He said that a plan to reduce prices last year failed because State and Caro lina did not present a "unified front to the Board of Trustees." Creasy said that a committee is in the making to "prepare our caae" against a raise in tuition. He said that the students here and at State .and Woman's College have ""the support of faculty and admin istration" in opposing the suggest many European countries lies an ideology, but between Scandinavia and the United States lies only the Atlantic Ocean. "I think it is cheaper for an undergraduate to live in Copen hagen than here," remarked Dr. Clausen on the differences between UNC and the University of Copen hagen. "As far as I can see, an undergraduate here will have to pay about $2 a day for his meals in the cafeterias. This corresponds to 15 crowns in Scandinavia. How ever, no Danish student .could pay 450 crowns a month for his meals. He simply has not got the money, nor have his parents. But then again the salaries at home are smaller. Perhaps the differences are not so very great after all, ex cept when you go abroad. "Certainly no r undergraduate in Copenhagen has got a car but Iwhat would he do with it? Two hours in any direction will bring him to the shore and a snug old harbor, and there is the end of in ed fee raise. Progress is being made, said Creasy in the Foreign Student Ex change program.' " "We will proba bly have a student here from Go etingen University by next semes ter," he said. He added, however, that Goetingen is not yet able to receive a student from Carolina, but that it probably will be next year. The University Band "is in dire need of funds to get back on its feet," said Creasy. The Band de preciates from one year to the next, he said, and "it is a disgrace" and "one of the worst things about Carolina. He said that the Band has done a "miraculous job" under the circumstances. He said that for the last four years the Band has received a bud get of less than $5,000. He asked that a study be made for the possi bility of setting up a permanent source of funds for the band and "a few band scholarships'" for stu dents from good high school bands it," said Dr. Clausen. "The dis tances over here make me afraid In fact, I like our own modest dis tances." t DR. SVEN CLAUSEN . . . Fulbright scholar . ' J 4 , HI ' Bofi Friends And Foes Of 8i Favor Referendum; Vote 23-15 Bv LLOYD SHAW . By a vote of 23-15, the student Legislature gave the students the decision of whether or not to pass the bill which "liberalizes punish ment in first offense cheating cases." David Reid's bill comes be fore the students for a vote on No vember 16th. Votes cast to put the bill before the students were cast by legislat ors both for and against the bill. Reid said that "it was mention ed that, students would not take serious interest in the bill." An swering this, he quoted Thomas Jefferson's statement: "The most honest and safe, if not the most wise depository of the public in terest is the public itself." Bev Webb asked if in the opin ion of the speaker so grave a mat ter as the Honor Council should be put in the hands of a group Jeffer son considered not always the wis est. Reid was asked by another ques tioner, "Why did this amendment not occur to the speaker (Reid) be fore? Was it because he did not think that the bill would pass?" Reid said that this consideration did enter in and that "no doubt, it (the bill) would not receive enough votes to override a veto. This bill shouldn't be stopped by one man's veto," he declared. It was argued by several that referendums always passed. One legislator commented that a consti-: tutional amendment has never fail ed to carry on this campus,. Louis Brumfield (SP) said that a Tefer endum would not definitely pass. He said he was against the bill but wanted it put before the people Max Crohn (UP) said that he had not made up his mind on the bill, but thought the Legislature should decide. Charlie Dean (SP) said the "stu dents expressed their confidence in us, and I feel we should let the Legislature decide the matter." Larry McElroy (SP), commenting on unthinking voters, said, "the unthinking voters voting yes and no will counterbalance each oth er." Charlie Dean asked, if the voters have confidence to let the Legisla ture decide how to spend a $110, 000 budget, why shouldn't the leg islators decide this? Warren (SP), a proponent of the original bill, thought the Legisla ture should decide. The roll call vote of the legisla ors will be published tomorrow. Summer School Fee A bill establishing a Summer school Activities fee of $1.50 per :erm passed the Legislature with no negative votes. The bill providing funds for a sophomore class dance also passed he Legislature. A bill to abolish quizzes during fraternity rush week, a bill ask ng funds for the student audit board, and a bill establishing Sand Improvement were introduced.

Paraguayan Gets Altrusa Grant-ln-Aid Miss Maria Elina Olmedo Jim enez was guest speaker at a dinner meeting of the Altrusa Club of Chapel Hill last night at the Caro lina Inn. Miss Olmedo was recently award ed a grant-in-aid by the Altrusa a International, so that she would be able to continue her cultural studies at UNC. Mrs. O. David Garvin, president of the Chapel Hill Club, presided at the meeting. Miss Mabel Brit tain, chairman of Altrusa Informa tion, reviewed the activities of Al trusa International and congratu lated the club on this its birthday meeting. The local club was org anized in 1947. The speaker was introduced by Dr. Katherine Carmichael, chair man of International Relations for the club, who gave information on the grants-in-aid program, institut ed as a cultural service for Latin American women. Ninety-nine Lat in American women have been awarded $58,000 in grants-in-aid in the last nine years. These grants range from $250 to $750. Miss Ol medo is the second student here to hold such a grant, said Dr. Car. michael. Miss Olmedo spoke on the status f-of woman in Paraguay, her native country. While women do not yet vote in Paraguay, they are active in social and civic circles, she said. Cultural activities are as varied as those in the United States, and many women's associations have charitable and social goals, she said.
