Dr. Raymond Adams of the UNC English Department addressed the new members at a banquet held afterward in Lenoir Hall. His to pic was "Intervals of Contempla tion." I In-his address Dr. Adams scorer "litlle un-free minds" which threaten democratic freedom, anc' collegiate classes and. courses which fail to inspire the student although accomplishing their pur pose oh paper. "In the University administra tion," he said, "statesmanship i. postponed. It cannot be delegated to a committee nor to a conference nor to a chain of command. "Creative thinking is a ventur ing of "one man into the unexplor ed.' That man deserves to be given the intervals of contemplation without which statesmanship can not come to a university nor a bus iness nor a government nor to a single man that most indepen dent and most important state of all." ; Referring to "small-minded men," Dr. Adams said that "in the name of preserving democratic ireeaom, iney nave Deen witnnoia ing information and deciding what shall be withheld from the rest of us, delighting in playing a cloak-and- dagger game, until our dem ocratic freedom even in simple and harmless matters is threatened by a breed of martinet such as has not operated in America before." . 1954-55 Phi Beta Kappa officers who participated in the initiation were President Paul Likins, Elk "hart, Ind.; Vice-President Johr DuBose, Durham; Herbert Browne Columbia, S.

The School of Pharmacy Stu Confusion Delays Selection Of Union Director , Confusion over the relationship between a permanent student un- on director and the University administration has delayed selec tion of a new Graham Memorial chief. "As far as I know, there's no clear relationship between the GM Board and the University admin istration," declared GM Director Jim Wallace at the Wednesday meeting. "The only relationship I have had with the administration," Wallace continued, "has been through the dean of student affairs office. And that relationship has not been clear. Can directives be handed down from the administration? Where does the board's authority stop and the administration take over? No one has. drawn the line very clearly." Wallace pointed out that the hirng of a new director on a per Wire Service Chapter, Ohio; Wade W. Harrell, Margari ta, Canal Zone; Miss Josephine Hunter, Decatur, 111.; Charles J.

Shanks, Birmingham, Ala., and Charles L. Sharpless, Hatboro, Pa. representative for the NAACP in North Carolina. He declined to name the three students. ' University trustee policy says Negroes may enter the graduate and professional schools "when such schools are not provided by and in the state of North Caro lina for such racial groups." Pearson has said he plans to carry his case to federal court if necessary. Meanwhile, Director of Ad missions Armstrong said yester day he had heard "nothing ur. j ther" about' the matter. dent Body Award for highest qua lities of character, deportment, j scholarship, participation in extra-curricular activities and pro mise of future distinction in the profession was presented to Miss Edith Woodman- Trosper of Greensboro. The Kappa Epsilon Award to the woman student who has demon strated qualities of leadership, cha racter, service and scholarship was presented to Miss Oveda Fisher of Whiteville. . The Pharmacy Senate Award for greatest loyalty and service to the School of Pharmacy went to Al fred Holt Mebane III of Jackson Heights, N. Y. The Rho Chi First Year Award ( See PHARMACY, page 4.) Between manent basis would be impossi ble" until the GM-administration relationship is cleared up. Dean of Student Activities Roy Holsten produced a memorandum j by Dean of Student Affairs Fred H, Weaver, calling for "the need for attention to the organization al relationship between the stu dent union and the University ad ministration." SOUND POLICY According to the Weaver memo randum, "... Sound, administra tive policy suggests that the ap pointment of the "director should be subject to final approval by the Chancellor on the advice of the- director of student activities and the dean of student affairs. I expect any really capable person would require this assurance of approval by the administration be fore "he would accept a 'perma nent' appointment.

Applicants, male or. female, may see Managing Editor Fred Powledge today after 2:30 p.m. Brumfield Point Gets Approval The Interdormitory Council vot ed unanimous approval to the first objective in President Lewis Brumfield's "two-point" program Wednesday night. The session was the last of the semester for the council. . In Brumfield's inaugural address ' a month ago, the former Cobb Dormitory president stressed two particular items that he intended to effect during the next scholas tic year. They were-: (1) Increased monetary support for the dormitory social programs. (2) An improved, yet "unfear- ing" relationship with the admin- Council members endorsed by an affirmative motion the increas- ed "monetary support" point Wed- nesday night. Last year the IDC cot $4000 out of the sum paid for dormitory f rents. Of this amount, $2000 went to individual dormitories outright, and $2000 wejito .eentrai lDC. of fice for proportional distribution. Thus Brumfield proposed giving the entire $4000 to the individual dormitory social programs withput keeoing any funds for the IDC to distribute at its discretion. 'MONUMENTAL STEP' After the council had approved Brumfield's idea, Raymond Taylor, president of Old West Dormitory, called it a "monumental step to ward restoring dormitory rights." According to Shelton Alexander, chairman of the IDC Court, two of the ei?ht dormitory residents tried for participation in last month's panty raid were convicted. These two were put on "proba tion," said Alexander, but hedid n't say for how long. He said that this would not Tvessf-ilv be the "permanent" policy of the court regarding panty raid violations. The entire session was carried on in an' informal air with little de pendence on parliamentary proce dure in the strict sense of the word. According to Brumfield, this will be the way that all meetings are carried on during his administra tion. His idea for partially dispen sing witn parliamentary proce- dure, he said, was so that council l partment conceded that "The is members wouldn't hesitate "to I sues involved are substantial and speak their minds." I they have not been passed on by GM, Administration should be pointed out to the board. "If considerable expansion is contemplated, and especially if it is planned to seek fluids for a new building or to obtain author- ization to construct one oh a self liquidating basis, attention should be given to the question of fiscal control. I am not here attempting to say what the ideal connection between a student union and the University administration is; but the existing structural relationship is not, in my opinion, administra tivoiv sound." The Weaver memo concluded, , "If the changes now being consid- ered were to be carried out with out first taking steps to insure certain elementary safeguards to administrative liaison and respon sibility, . I am certain that . much conflict and confusion would re sult ..." v President Don Fowler, at the re- FRIDAY, MAY 13, 1955 Student: YOU CAN TONIGHT: Ever Flushed' A Coed?

C, after a two-week trial. Since then he has been in prison at Winston-Salem, N. C. TO BE ARGUED The appeal will be argued be fore the U. S. 4th Circuit Court of Appeals at Richmond. Warren specified that his bail grant is effective only until final action is taken on the appeal. When Scales was arrested at Memphis, Tenn., last November, bond was set at $100,000. This lat er "was reduced to $35,000, posted by his mother last Dec. 21. Scales' attorney, David Rein of Washington, urged Trial Judge Albert V. Bryan of Alexandria, Va., to let the defendant remain at liberty under that $35,000 bond after his conviction. Bryan re fused. Rein then applied to Circuit Judge Armistead Dobie, who also refused to allow bail. The appli cation then was brought before Warren, wh0 hears such matters from the 4th Circuit. UNC student Charles Childs, who joined the Communist Party and reported its activities to the Federal Board of Investigation, testified in Scales' .Greensboro trial.

FOUR PACES TODAY Slices ares tiosis The student Legislature sliced edges off the. total $1450 request ed in bills last n'Sht and actually handed out only $800. There were no measures on the Legislature agenda except bills requesting appropriation. The dollar slices came from bills requesting money for the Carolina Forum and the Tarna tion, campus humor magazine. A bill asking for $200 for the Carolina Handbook was defeated. The only mtasure which met with unconditional success was a bill calling for $300 for the Goet tingen student exchange program. On this measure, the Legisla ure underwrote itself for the full amount. This means that the ex change committee is supposed to eek financial help from other ;ources, but if it is unsuccessful, ,hen the Legislature will assume he entire $300 bill. The session was spiked with pressure groups representing the agencies and publications seeking appropriations. The amount asked for by the Carolina Forum $G00 was cut exactly in half. The Legisla ture finally granted $300 for debts "already incurred." TARNATION OFFICIAL? After arguement as to whether or not the Tarnation was an offi jial student publication, the re luest -sought by that publication .vas cut $150 from $350 asked .o $200 granted. Reubon Leonard, former Tar nation editor, insisted that the magazine was recognized by South Building as being "official." EXODUS There were several other mea sures the Legislature was slated to review, but a mass exodus of legislators coupled with heavy absences, forced the body to ad journ for lack of quorum. The Legislature must meet in a special session to complete the transaction of this semester's business. J-School Offering M. Of A.
