The group, proposed by the IDC .social chairman would be gov erned by a board of directors to -be composed of 12 members elect ed ;from the various dorms. The purpose of the "Briga doons" would be to sponsor a .dance to be .placed by a name band this year, and one such dance each semester starting with the 1955-56 academic year. . ; The approval of the IDC in no V ay obligates the dormitories who will ach vote on the measure and report back to the IDC within one month. IDC President Manning Muntz ing had this to say about the rec ommendation. "This idea of the Brigadoons is not especially a new idea. It was mentioned last vr and Tm sure even before that. I am. happy though that the IDC has taken an interest in this project and is -willing and anxious to see such a thing as the Brigadoons off to a flying success. "It will take a lot of work, but I sincerely believe it will be worth every moment that we are able to put into the idea. It is something that I think we have needed for a long time. It's something that I think will be tremendously suc cessful and a wonderful addition to ear campus tradition." John Beshara, author of the rec ommendation, said "I have in mind to treate a new tradition. I have gives this proposal a great deal of thought and I think there is a definite need for dormitories to sponsor such a program." Another important matter brought up at the meeting was the telephone siuation on campus. Student body president Tom Creasy was present at the meet ing ani presented the following plan Which was approved by the IDC to help solve the problem. Maintenance of telephones in the dorms will be quite expensive. To cover this expense, Creasy has proposed that instead of painting the dorms every four years as is now done, that for one or two pe riods the dorms be painted every five years. This would cover the cost of installing and maintaining the phones. In answer to a question, Creasy said that phones on the first floors in women's dorms might also be included in this measure. The ap proved recommendation will now be sent to the University's Build ing and Grounds Committee. If the Committee approves the meas ure, the telephones will probably be installed immediately. Creasy also said "I think the IDC is going to have one of the best years that any IDC has ever had oh campus." The group also approved a rec ommendation for dormitories t o help finance the housing for one year for an exchange student from Guertengin University.

Who Rules The Roost In India? Men Slaves To Their Women? Where You Can Blow Off Steam Organized Bull Session'--Phi Pulpit Players Production Is Slated Tonight The second performance of the Pulpit Players' religious drama, "The Boy With the Cart," will be given tonight at 8 p. m. in the main auditorium of the Chapel Hill Baptist Church. Earlier in the week, the Players gave their opening performance of Christopher Fry's drama before an audience that nearly filled the main auditorium of the church. All Players' performances are op en to the public. Mrs. Louise Lamont, Cthiapel Hill, directs the Players, a non denominational group, with many experienced actors among the membership, wtho have been spon sored by the Baptist Church of Chapel Hill in reviving the drama i within the church. By BARBARA W1LLARD "It's an organized bull session where you can blow off steam, where student leaders can express themselves and at the same time, find out what students think." According to Lewis Brumfield, current speaker of the Phi As sembly, this is the outstanding feature of the organization. Thomas Jefferson once said that there were two factions in any group. It was because of a dif ference in opinion that' the As sembly of the Philanthropic Liter ary Society was founded. "Way back when," or in 1795, Phi was, at that time, the liberal, Hamiltonian group." Since 1797, the Phi has devel oped into an orderly legislative body. The weekly meetings are carried on according to parliamen tary procedure. The Phi has recently discussed and voted on the proposed campus leniency bill. They are, however, concerned not only with campus issues, but also with statewide, national and international prob lems. On Tuesday, a bill for the procedure of statewide integration of schools will be presented. "The procedure," Speaker Brum- all students were required to be-1 field remarked, introduc- long to what was then termed "the Assembly." Even at that early time, the students had a certain degree of control over their own discipline. If a person was ex pelled from the Assembly, he was expelled from the University, since membership was compulsory. In 1797, the trend of the Uni versity, as well as of the nation, was partisan, the two schools of thought being the Jeffersonian and the Hamiltonian. A split came in the Assembly that year, with the Phi pulling out to leave what became the Di, or the Dialectic Senate. "Although both groups are lib eral now," Brumfield said, "the tion of the bill by a member of the Ways and Means Committers one of the eight standing commit tees. The bill is put before the As sembly, and if the motion is made and seconded that it be discussed, it goes back to the committee for a week. During the week, the committee smooths out the rough spots, and the bill is re-presented the following week, for open d.'s cussion and a vote. "The debate gets pretty hot at times, but it is always fun, and it is excellent training for speak ers." ' Gov. William B. Umstead was speaker of the Phi when he, w:as a student here. Oi the. Phi-mem bers, approximately 50 per cent go into law or politics every year. Almost all student leaders come from the ranks of either the Phi or the Di. Officers of the Phi this year, other4han Speaker Brumfield, are Dick Iobst, speaker pro tern; Harry Whitelock, clerk; Frank Warren, sergeant-at-arms, and Lawrence Matthews, critic-parliamentarian. There is a 35 member limit in the Phi, the limit being set last year. A slight improvement has been made over last year's mem bership, with 20 members this year. ' Although coeds are eligible for membership, as are all stu dents, there are no girls in the Phi this year. All students are welcome, either as members or visitors to come to Phi Hall in New East at 8 p.m., any Tuesday, to hear the issues discussed. Brumfield called Carolina's way of life "a training ground, where students "can make mistakes and learn not to make them again. By the personal satisfaction and ex cellent training the Phi offers it would be a mistake that one might not have a chance to remedy after he leaves the University, if he did not take advantage of this oppor tunity to better himself in every way." " - - By ELLEN WINSLOW Is tnis a man's world? Do Eu ropeans think American men are slaves to their women? Who is the head of the house in the Far East? The role of the fairer sex was the topic at the first YWCA Supper Forum in South Dining R60m of Lenoir Hall Monday evening. The forum was the first in a series to bring for eign and native students togeth er, y . The question of wiiether this is a Man's World quickly turned in to a discussion of Why American women dominate their husbands and the reason they have not tak en over in other countries. To defend the women were Bobbie Walker, Purabi Bose from India, ' Barbara G-o'ldwen and Irmgard Roth of Germany. The foreign gentlemen's opin ions were given by Alfred Des cloux from Switzerland, Cuglie CiminO Michel from France and Mike Furuhata from Japan. Wool Howell, ex-serviceman, was the American' fatalist. Ram Desikan of India acted as moderator. Europeans do think American men are slaves to women, Michel said. "In Europe it's like that . . . I don't know why," he added. "Is it true that men are hen pecked " the moderator asked Furuhata. . Not so in Japan, Furuhata said. The man is still dominant in his country. Women may vote, but they are for. the most part ad vised by their husbands. Only a few of the Japanese girls pass examinations to enter the universities, Furuhata said. "I don't mean the girls are infe rior . . . they generally lack ini tiative. They are modest. Tell her to look to the right and she will follow instructions. They are like American men," Furuhata con tinued. In Japan only the lowest class women smoke on the streets, he said. Desikan asked for the Ame rican point of view on whether women snould smoke on the streets. Howell said it was the ac cepted thing. "I don't object to women smoking on the streets," YMCA- i be said. Henpeckad? Decloux gave another insight into the attitude of the Ameri can women. "I think it is a ques tion of independence. Today there are so many gadgets that she will be over with the daily work . , the American woman hasr more freedom and indepen dence." This Decloux attributed to economical reasons. The same situation would not be found dur ing the denression. he said. "Would a Europeans Husband do .housework?" "Somebody has to do the work and somebody has to earn the money," Descloux said. French men have a high regard for the wives, he later said. "I have 'seen my father sweeping floors." Irmgard Roth did not think the difference between American and European husbands was an eco nomical one. She said it should be the attitude of the husband to help share the job of raising a family and housework. In summing up the situation, Howell said, "Seems to me the American man is looking to the East with envy and looking to the future with hope. , The problem in America is one of psychology," he said. "We w7ere taught that we were going to dominate and wake up to find that this is shared by the woman." Purabi Bose and her family have lived in the U. S. since she was fourteen. She said her father now takes a share of the house work and seems to enjoy it. Man Has Upper Hand The man in India probably has the upper hand, Desikan said. Bobbie Walker said the U.

"Ameri cans are living in a luxury. This has brought about a new attitude. The woman does not dominate. but rather she is dominated by her culture." , In India the women are stay ing in the background because though they want jobs, they are not available, Purabi said. Wo men are ridiculed if not married. If they are in a profession, they do not have a good chance, for marriages are arranged when they are young, she said. "They have to think twice." Barbara Goldwyn pointed out that they might have more equal chances to study and go into a profession if they had equal education. "There are not enough jobs for men and women," Descloux said. the "We should fiive the father opportunity to feed his kids . . . it is an economic situation." Furuhata said "The girls in Ja pan work for two or three years; then they leave." He explained the importance of the training in School to Be a Bride, which all the better Japanese girls go' through. They learn to cook, sew, j clean, perform the tea ceremony ! - v and play a musical instrument well. Definite distinction is between the work of the man and that of the women, Furuhata said. zell, Anne Penn and Bobbie Lee Moretz, sponsored by Kappa Alpha.
