System To
Begin In
February
By FRED POWLEDGE
A specific system of cuts
will go into effect here on the
first of February.
-. The new 'system, adopted
by the faculty recently, will allow
students three unexcused absen
ces per course per semester. A
fourth unexcused absence will re
sult in failure.
The system, which is now Uni
versity law, replaces the old one
of "responsibility for attendance
. . . placed in the hands of the in
structors in the various courses."
The former plan is outlined in the
University of North Carolina Re
cord, 1953-54 issue.
The new rule, approved by the
General Council of the Faculty at
its Nov. 19 meeting, says "an ab
sence during a two day period im
mediately before or immediately
after University holidays will be
counted two absences."
The old rule declared that "a
fee of $2.50 is charged the student
for each absence immediately be
fore and after a holiday. . .".
The report, signed by Faculty
Members H. R. Totten, Clyde C.
Carter and F. M. Duffey, further
rules that students may be excus
ed from classes". . . only by the
University physician or the dean
of the school or college in which
the student is registered."
Chancellor Robert B. House,
Dean of the General College C. P.
Spruill and student government
President Tom Creasy could not be
reached for comment on the new
regulation last night.
COMPLETE TEXT
Complete text of the rule, as
passed by the General Council, fol
lows: Undergraduate attendance will
be as follows:
Regular attendance at class is
a student obligation an obligation
to himself and to the State of
North Carolina. It is an obligation
to know the rules governing class
attendance, to know his attendance
status in all classes at all times,
and to transmit from the Central
Office of Records to his instructors
official notices of excuse from
class.
A student will be reported to the
dean of the school or college in
which he is registered when he
has been absent without excuse
three times in a single class. An
absence during a two-day period
immediately before or immediately
after University holidays will be
counted two absences. Unexcused
absences from laboratory or from
class on the day of a scheduled
quiz or examination will result in
failure of the work missed.
When a student has three unex
cused absences in a single class
the dean of his school or college
will notify him that he is in atten
dance probation for the course
Four unexcused absences will re
suit in the student's being dropiW
from thp course by his dean with
the grade of "F".
LIMITED EXCUSERS
Absences from class with cause
may be excused only by the Uni
versity physician or the dean of
the school or college in which the
student is registered. Request for
excuse from absence, except ab
sences excused by the University
physician, will be made to the dean
of the school or college in which
the student is registered. The dean
will forward authorizations for ex
cuses to the' Central Office of Re
cords on a form provided by the
latter office, and the Central Of
fice of Records will issue to the
student an official excuse for pre
sentation to his instructors. In
structors will accept only excuses
issued in this way. Excuses for
absence may not be granted later
than one week after the student's
return to class.

Sociologists Discuss Brief
Florida Submitted To Court
By ARCHER NEAL
Sesegregation in the pubic
school was the-topic of a panel dis
cussion sponsored by the UNC
chapter of Alpha Kappa Delta,
national honorary sociology frat
ernity," Thursday evening. Discus
sion centered around the means for
implemeting the Supreme Court's
deceision on segregation , in educa
tion. Panel members included Dr. Guy
B. Johnson, professor of anthro
pology and sociology, who served
as chairman; Miss Shirley Strick
land, Tom Gillette and Jim Besh
ers, all graduate students in soc
iology. The Florida brief prepared for
the Supreme Court was chosen as
the central one for discussion be
cause, the panel declared, it was
! the best study that has been made
on the problem. All the Southern
states were asked to prepare briefs
to be submitted to the court for the
hearing on how to implement the
deceision against segregation in
the schools. Some of them chose
Israeli Group
Will Continue
Tours Today
The four Israeli students who ar
rived here yesterday will continue
their participation in campus ac
tivities. During the morning they will at
tend classes of their choice, after
i which they will have luncheon with
student leaders.
The group will deliver a lecture
on Israeli student life in the Main
Lounge of Graham Memorial at 4
p. m. Tonight they will meet with
folk dancers from Chapel Hill and
surrounding communitties in the
Rendezvous Room of Graham Mem
orial to discuss and participate in
dances native to the countries re
presented. The four members of the group,
Rachel Hadas, Yaakov Saphir, Da
vid Bar-Illan and Lehuda Amir,
are all members of the Israeli Stu
dent Organization, a group of Is
raelian students now studying in
the United States. Their tour is
sponsored by the ISO in coopera
tion with the U. S. National Stu
dent Association, a confederation
of more than 300 college and uni
versity student governments.
The general purpose of the tour
is to increase student knowledge of
Israeli student life and improve
i international understanding be
tween Israeli and the United Sta
tes. Arranged entirely by students,
it features lectures, music, folk
songs and dancing.
Principals In The Y-Court Fight As They
to ignore the reguest.
Miss Strickland presented an out
line of the Florida brief. The main
recommendations were:
. That the Supreme Court adopt
a policy of gradualism in applying
desegregation, in the publie-school
system.
2. That the courts of first in
stance be Federal District courts,
give specific decrees.
3. That local school authorities
be given broad powers in deter
mining administrative procedures.
The major part of the brief dis
cusses the reasons for the pro
posals, including the legal author
ity for being able to implement
the decision in the way that Flor
ida has proposed, and specific
suggesions to the court.
Miss Strickland pointed out the
need for time required for Florida
to acieve a policy of desegregation.
Such things as scholarship admin
istration, transportation, scholast
ic standard, redistricting school at
tendance districts and health and
moral welfare problems need time
for changes to be instituted, she
said..
Beshers indicated the methods
by which the Supreme Court deci
sion could be implemented. He
pointed out that there three ways
in which this problem could be
approached:
1. Certain plans for dealing with
the decision are probably illegal,
such as setting up a free private
school system which has been pro
posed by some states, he said.
2. Other plans are of an insin
cere nature, which would involve
drawn out legal procedures and
red tape in administrative proced
ures, which would probably be
thrown out by the courts. They
would be used to prevent a decis
ion of any sort, Beshers said.
3. There are sincere efforts to
achieve desegregation, he said, thr
ough devising means which are

thoroughly legal.
Gillette gave the results of a
public opinion survey conducted
for the state government by Louis
Killian, professor of sociology at
Florida State University. The sur
vey was made to determine how
the legal principle of the decision
could be made into sociological
reality. Those queried included
white and Negro leaders in such
vocations as county peace officers,
school principals and supervisors,
country and circuit judges, PTA
leaders, legislators, editors and
radio station managers.
Of the white leaders who resp
onded to the poll, according to
Gillette, three-fourths of them
were against desegregation in
principle, and 34 percent of these
said they wouldn't act to imple
ment desegregation, and might
act against it. The Negro leadors
who responded were overwhelm
ingly in favor of desegregation, he
said
In the question period which
followed, Beshers defined gradual
ism as being "the gradual achieve
ment of the ideal of integration."
Gillette pointed out that' it has
been going on for a long time, but
Miss Strickland said that southern
whites have not been faced with its
coming.
She furtheur added that "the
Supreme Court was excellent in
making a clear-cut statement again
st segregation." .
About 26 persons were present
at Thursday night's panel, includ
ing several students from North
Carolina Negro College in Durham.

neighboring states of Virginia
and South Carolina contributing
approximately 30 per cent of tnc:
out-of-state total.
More than one-third of the
beginning teachers will be cer

teaching. Dean Perry's report
showed. While social studies,
physical education, English and
Science will claim a majority of
the new teachers prepared in
the secondary field, the areas of

so represented.
With 55 elementary teachers
