Working Hard
On Production
By KEN LOWRY
"As opening night for "Satan's
Saints," latest Sound and Furry
production draws closer, .practice
sessions in Memorial Hall are be
coming more and more intense.
Although there seems to be no
order to rehearsals now, the au
dience, can expect a real show
next Thursday and Friday.
A casual observer entering the
auditorium might probably see a
couple working on their dance
routine, accompanied by the drone ,
of actors cueing each other and
assorted people rushing on and
off the stage. All seems to be in
a state of confusion.' But, out of
this confusion will come one of the
best Sound and Fury productions
of the year.
.The "show is loaded with good
numbers and generously sprinkled
with laughter. "In the Shade of
the Banana Tree," "Don't Kick It
Around" and "Won't You Charles
ton with Me?" look especially
good.
Included in the cast are John
ny McLaren, Milton Cooke, Miss
Jane Edwards, Dave Reed and
Miss Patty Andrews.

The exhibition, which will in

Department of Art and Public Re

the subject of children's art.

"One who attends a school." That
certainly applies; it has always ap
plied to most of us, and under the
new absence regulations, it applies
painfully to everybody! A second
meaning is "A student," and we
have a reasonable number to
whom that august word can be
appropriately applied. A third def
inition tells us that a scholar is
"A student who holds a . . . schol
arship," and we are triumphantly
possessed of an intercollegiate ath
letic program. Next the Diction
ary informs us that a scholar is
"One who has engaged in advanc
ed study and asquired knowledge
in some special field." We have
now included the faculty. Finally,
a scholar is simply "A literate
person; specifically, one who can
read and write." And with that
we have established an admissions
policy although, alas! one too,
high for all our students to be
able to meet it. Yes, this Univers
ity is a community of scholars.

Discussion Groups
nd Their Meets
Student-administration relation
ships, the orientation and advisor
systems and Carolina's lack of a
tradition for study were the main
topics touched in yesterday after
noon's group discussions at the
second All-Campus Conference.
Two of the four groups asked
that the administration be called
to account in several weeks for
some of the specific recommenda
tions made by the conference.
Closer relations among students,
faculty and administration were
urged by the first group. Dick
Sirkin suggested that the Office
of Student Affairs reserve one
hour daily for students to drop by.
Dick Baker said professors with
too many students don't have time
for individual students.
The second group discussed student-administration
problems of a
different nature. David Reid said
the administration, in its desire to
avoid trouble, has a "tendency to
maintain the status quo." He also
wanted to know why students are
not consulted in such important
actions as the revised cut rule.
Dr. William Poteat answered
that was mainly a "case of the
right hand not knowing what , the

Essentia
If we approach the question with
which this conference is primar
ily concerned in the light of such
an idea of a university an idea
that 'it is a place dedicated to
learning we soon find ourselves
making a searching scrutiny of a
few sacred cows.
Oen is the old and easy teacher
student dichotomy. Certainly it
cannot be erased; in fact, Jacques
Barzun is probably right in insist
ing that it is friction between
teacher and student that makes
the academic wheels go round. Yet
the sharp division is lessened when
we see ourselves as engaged in a
common task and as partners in a
community of effort. A second
sacred cow is the power and im
portance of administration. When
we look back into the 10th and
11th century beginnings of mod
ern universities, we find that the
basic pattern of some of the first
was student organization, as it was
at Bologna in the 11th century, or
mpus
left was doing." Ralph Casey then
said "the responsibility always
finally rests with administration.''
Student government receives its
right by sufference, he added.
The group also lambasted the
advisor system as "too impersonal
and too ineffective because of "the
overloading" of advisers.
The administration again came
under fire in the third group when
Manning Muntzing said the "Uni
versity has gone downhill" in re
cent years and "the administration
plans to take over student govern
ment." Louis Kraar called for "an
intellectual leader in the admini
stration who personifies the qual
ities of the University." .
The group also discussed ', the
need for a "study tradition," th
drinking problem and the advisor
system. The group concluded there
are many students here who don't
belong here.
The fifth group decided students
have the right to be consulted and
to aid in the formulation of rules
and regulations by faculty and ad
ministration. Cuts and "student
fees were mentioned. Lt, Robert
Gray said the student is here for

will continue Tuesday when Gor

students in the Main Lounge of

His address will be followed by

faculty organization, such as the
guidelike corporation of the mas
ters at Paris in the 12th century.
Administration developed very
late and as servant to the polar
necessities of the university, the
students and the faculty. It is an
essential structure for so complex
a community as the modern uni
versity has become, but its worth
is exclusively in terms of its serv
ice to the others and not of it
self. What I am suggesting is that
all these elements faculty, stu
dents, administration and the com
munity which they comprise have
meaning only" in terms of a com
mon objective.
THE OBJECTIVE
That objective is partly, as Clar
ence Faust put it, "To make sure
that we '. . . reflect hard enough
and profitable enough about the
whole range of human experience
and thought." It is partly to pre

Ends Two
Days Of
Meetings
Dr. James H. Purks, University
provost, made an appeal for the
students and the University to
promote a respect for learning in
meeting which wound up the sec
ond annual All-Campus Confer
ence last night.
The speaker spoke highly of the
address made .to the conference
by Dr. Hugh Holman at the open
ing session on Friday.
Dr. Purks spoke in regard to the
two theme questions of the con
ference which asked - what, the
University and the students have
a right to expect of each other.
EXISTENCE
"It seems to me that these
questions relate to the reasons for
the existence of the University,"
said the .speaker. "If the Univer
sity has purposes which justify its
existence, then both University
and .students have a right to ex
pect, each of the other, perform
ance consistence with these fun
damental purposes;"
"Students have a right to ex
pect the University to fulfill its
mission,", he said. "The Universi
ty has a right to expect students
to study and to learn and to at
tempt to grow in wisdom, in ma
turity, in poise and in ability and
willingness to assume noble re
sponsibilities. Otherwise, the mis-
sion of the University is in de
fault. WORTHY MISSION
"In short," said Dr. Purks, "each
has a right to expect that the
other will be responsive to a wor
thy mission which is far more im
portant than the selfish interest
of either.
The dinner meeting in Lenoir
Hall ended the two-day confer
ence, which was the second of its
kind to be held here.
The small discussion groups,
which met for the first time Fri
day to discuss the two conference
questions, ended their discussions
yesterday during afternoon meet
ings. They presented their report3
at the dinner.
