LVII MO 1U ; A I MO sence Found Light Of Business Administration : B Average Suffices In B A; Others Must Not Make 'C's' By RAYMOND TAYLOR Many students in the School of Business Administration are ex empt from class attendance regulations to which students with equally good grades in other parts of the University are subject, a check showed yesterday. Dean's lists released by the various schools and colleges show that the Business School dean's list is : : composed of all students who made no D's or F's and whose grades average B. Dean's lists in art and sciences, journalism, gen eral college, and education, how ever, are composed of students who made no grade lower than B. The new attendance regulation put into effect at -the beginning of spring semester is as follows: "A student who is on the honor roll is exempt from regula tions governing class attendance except those pertaining to absence from laboratory or quizzes and ex aminations and to minimum seventy-five percent attendance in all courses." General College Dean C. P. Spruill, chairman of the Faculty Committee on Instructional Per sonnel, said the terms "dean's list" and "honor roll" have the same meaning. The University catalogue does not define the terms. When informed of the favored treatment being given business students, Dean Spruill said, "I don't like the idea of different privileges for students of differ ent schools." 'QUICK CONSIDERATION' The matter will be given "quick consideration," he said, adding, "I hope it can be handled informal ly" lie raised the question, however, of whether the Business School could prepare a list of students having no grade lower than B. Assistant Dean James M. Par rish of the Business School an swered, "It would be possible, but I am not at "all sure we would be able to entertain that motion with out thinking about it." He said the present system of computing the Business School dean's list has been in use "for years." "We'd have to think about -it before making any chnage," he said. GMAB Film Provided An Excellent Evening "Rocking Horse Winner," another in the Graham Memorial Ac tivities Board film series, provided an excellent evening with the only difficulty being technical quality. The film, produced by J. Arthur Rand, was shown Thursday eve- Uillg ill Certainly it was different from what was generally anticipated. Any indications of being a "tear jerker" were not present.

Truman was invited last spring by President Gordon Gray on be half of the committee which se lects Weil and McNair speakers. The annual Weil Lectures are delivered on three successive nights. If Truman accepts, he will probably speak some time in April or May. The lectures are on the general theme of "American Citizenship."

Rece ived HIGHER EDUCATION REPORT SHOWS State Colleges, Universities Uncoordinated (Editor's note: This is second,, and final, installment of a look into a state commission's report on high education.) By DAVE MUNDY The report of the State Com mission on Higher Education deals in large part with the co ordination of state-supported in stitutions of higher learning. -Trustees of. the various insti tutions are not even appointed in the same manner. For the Un iversity they are elected by the General Assembly. For the other institutions they are appointed by the governor, the superin tendent of education having an ex-officio seat on the teachers' college" boards. Duplication of programs re ceives considerable criticism in the report. Eight out ,of 12 in stitutions, for example, award M.A. degrees in education.

Using Graham Memorial's new Steinway piano, 13 year old Douglas Fam brough, ,the youngest performer ever billed in one of the Music Department's programs, will play pieces by Mozart, Beethoven, and Chopin. ' is no coordination in the insti tutions' requests for money, the report declares: 'The public in terest demands that money spent iby the state on higher education serves needs that are state wide." OTHER AREAS The report levels criticisms at other areas requiring attention from an over-all and state-wide point of view. There is no long-range plan ning of the state's program of higher, education, according to the report. There should be a study of "fuller cooperation with the Southern Regional Education Board in planning for utilization of certain graduate and profes sional facilities in other states rather than providing for poor ly patronized and expensive du plications in North Carolina," 3 From UNC Win Morehead Grants Three University students have, been named as recipients of More head Scholarships for graduate work.

SALARIES VARY A fair degree of uniformity is provided to non-instructional personnel of the education in stitutions, but the salaries of in structional personnel as paid by the state vary widely. N. C. State ranks at the top, with salary scales for professors ranging from $12,700 to $6,000, with an average of $8,150. The UNC scale ranges from $12,500 to $6,700, with an average salary of $7,800.

Dr. Zeno Payne Metcalf , a member of the North Carolina State College fac ulty for the past 43 years, was presented the Oliver Max Gardner Award for 1955 at a dinner meet ing of the trustees and faculties of the Consolidated University at State College tonight. Acting under the terms of the late Governor Gardner's will, the Board of Trustees unanimously se lected Dr. Metcalf as the faculty member of the Consolidated Uni versity "who, during the current scholastic year, has made the greatest contribution to the wel fare of the human race." The name of the recipient of the award highest teaching honor given by the University was a closely-kept secret until the pres (See GARDNER, Page 4.) to $3,600 at Elizabeth City State Teacher's College. Salaries of assistant professors range from $5,000 to $3,000, as do instruc tors. Instructors' salaries are in most instances higher than those of assistant professors. Considerable concern is ex pressed in the report regarding the per student subsidy given students at each institution. The budgeted student-per-capita cost (paid by the state) is higher at State, WC, Western Carolina, Pembroke and N. C. College at Durham than at UNC. The smal-. lest state subsidy, $257 per stu dent, is for A&T College. MAKING DECISIONS Regarding control of higher education, the report quotes from a governors' conference publication, "the most desirable organizational structure is one which assures that each individ stod ent To Name Miss Vice-President Kraar-Yoder-Mundy Battle Seen Shaping By NEIL BASS The Student Party will, in all probability, name Miss Susan Fink I as its candidate for vice president of the, student body. The party will meet at 7:30 Monday night. Some sources have indicated that the steepest competition Miss Fink is likely to have for the post will come from either Norwood Bryan or Bob Harrington. David Reid, SP floorleader who was in line to get the vice presidential nod from the party, has been sboved out of j the race for scholastic reasons. There has been a good deal of ' speculation about the man or men i that the SP will endorse, as its j nominee for editor of The Daily ) Tar Heel. According to sentiments expressed by certain members of the party, the "incorporation" (co running); of Louis Kraar and Ed Yoder has shifted some support to David Mundy, the other announced candidate. ; One SP member explained the reason for this so-called shift of support was that a "machine" was being set up among certain mem bers of the Publications Board and Kraar and Yoder. Other offices for which the par ty is slated to pick nominees are vice president of Xhe Carolina Athletic Association, seats in dorm men's H, III and town womens, and secretary and treasurer of the student body. ,. . . - Village Bingo Party's Slated Tonight, 7:30 More than 700 people have been personally invited to attend the Victory Village bingo party to be held tonight at 7:30 in the Victory Village community center on Mason Farm Road. "Many more people have .been reached through advertisements, and we expect a very nice-sized crowd," Mrs. Jean Evans, vice chairman of the Victory Village board of directors said yesterday. "The teamwork and cooperation experienced in preparing for the bingo party have left little to be desired," said Sam Barnard, chair man of the board, as he cited the work of participating former and present members of the board. He pointed out that Chapel Hill merchants, manifested a very fine community spirit in their friendly cooperation. Twenty Chapel Hill merchants and more than 50 residents of Victory Village have donated a large assortment of prizes. Proceeds derived from the bingo party will be used to buy teach ing materials for the Victory Vil lage Day Care Center. . ual decision will be made by the agency or official best qualified to make it." In relation to possible direct control over higher education by the General Assembly,- the Ad visory Budget Commission or the director of the budget, the re port declares, "Indeed, .were these agencies to go into the type of control over higher ed ucation recommended by this commission, they would be far afield from their primary gov ernmental function of fiscal management." The commission ends its re port by recommending legisla tion to the general Assembly: "An act creating a State Board of Higher Education and provid ing for its members, their quali fications, selection, appointment, powers, duties and financing."

DTH Probers Finish Meets With Staffers The committee investigating The Daily Tar Heel met yesterday with the newspaper's staff to air complaints ranging from questions of staff to the editorial page to the Campus Seen box. This was the last open meeting of the committee, which was ap pointed after a legislature meeting calling for an investigation of The j lookout for more staff. For exam- Daily Tar Heel. Wednesday and Thursday the committee heard sug gestions and complaints from stu dents. The complaints centered around news coverage. Many called for more student news covered by more reporters. Other suggestions concerned The Eye of the Horse, editorial opinion, (rather evenly divided pro and con), the reap pearance of Campus Seen and more intramural sports coverage. At yesterday's meeting the main topic discussed was the acquisition of more staff. Charles Hyatt asked what incentives were used to get people up to The Daily Tar Heel office. He suggested putting re porters on a small salary. Asso ciate Editor Ed Yoder replied, "Putting reporting on a mercen ary scale would be impractical considering the complication of petty cash transactions." Managing Editor Fred Powledge added that the student Legislature could give the suggestion consid eration, but that perhaps "non money payments, such as a book for the best news story of the week," might be better. Tom Lambeth then asked for what reasons students leave the staff. Powledge answered, "The fact lies in how much time people want to spend on the paper," he said. A lot of people come up at the beginning of each semester looking for girl friends or their names in the paper, but it "is im possible for a daily paper to keep people around y. ho just don't want to work," explained Powledge. Lambeth then asked what ef forts were made to get news staff members. Powledge answered that Editor Charles Kuralt went to freshman camp to talk about the paper. Also, he said, letters were written to high school journalism teachers asking them to tell their, students about The Daily Tar Heel. Editor Kuralt explained that The Daily Tar Heel was always on the "7 tion of members to meet the cen tennial speaker when she arrives in Durham on Monday morning. She will return to Chapel Hill with the delegation and will be conduct ed on a tour of the campus. A banquet at the Carolina Inn in pie, when people write in excep tional letters, "we often go see them and ask them to work for us," he explained. Most capable people are already interested in something else, he. added. Former Assistant Sports Editor Bob Dillard, in answer to a ques tion concerning the use of Asso ciated Press wires, explained that the wire is used mostly by the sports department. The students are interested in national sports, he said, and would be disappointed if it were a day late. In reply to numerous queries about the editorial page, Kuralt said, the editorial page is "an edi torial decision and responsibility." Charles Hyatt asked about the effect of the editorial column on the state of North Carolina. "This business that citizens of the state resent the University because of the editorial page is pure fiction," said Kuralt. Except for a few op inions such as those of John Wash ington Clark, the "situation does not exist," he continued. Ed Lipman asked how many out side . subscriptions The Daily Tar Heel has. Five or six hundred, re plied Kuralt. Papers are also sent to the members of the Visiting Board of Trustees and to the gov ernor, he added. "I think this does more good than harm," stated Ku ralt. In closing the meeting, chairman Jack Hudson said, 'We've learned quite a bit about journalism." Editor Kuralt said, "If any have been sufficiently interested to come and work for us, we'd wel come them." FILM FORUM The YMCA-Hillel Film Forum will present "How Green Was My Valley" at 7 p.m. Monday in Car roll Hall. There will be no admis sion charge. Dr. William Noland, chairman of the sociology depart ment, will lead a discussion follow ing the film.
