The presentation was well cast,
reflecting a real talent for the

although the opening-night per

dialogue-fluffs. More polish, a
somewhat faster pacing of the

entertaining, often adept and oc

Just Exploring
Possibilities
Of Date Ducats
By BILL CORPENING
Director of Athletics Chuck
Erickson and student body
President Don Fowler, in
statements , made this week,
denied the existence of "cash
and prestige" motives in the
University Athleiic Ass'n.
This charge was made in a
Daily Tar Heel Editorial early
this week. Erickson described the
editorial as being "to ridiculous to
comment on there was absolutely
no background to. it."
"All we're trying to do," said
Erickson, "is to cooperate with
rowier ana tne student govern
ment by exploring the possibilities
that may help the group desiring
reduced student date tickets with
out being unfair or unjust to the
rest of the student body"
"If we give away date tickets,"
said Erickson, "well be giving
away the students' rights. The
south side of the stadium is the
student section. We can't push
bona fide students , out to make
room for student dates. We just
wouldn't be fulfilling our. respon
sibility to the students, for those
students without dates would un
doubtably complain."
1 "We owe np responsibility," add
ed Erickson, "to the student dates.
You can't -call them faculty mem
bers, employees or students.
They're simply members of the
general public." Erickson said
therefore, there was no reason
why student dates should be
charged less for tickets than the
rest of the general public.
Erickson said students are not
charged for their ticket books at
the beginning of the year. In
compliance with the Athletic
Assn.'s constitution, students have
always received their tickets free,
he said.
'GENUINE' ACTION
Fowler declared, the reduced
rates for date tickets for the Carolina-Virginia
game on Nov. 19 a
"genuine" action for the students'
benefit. Said Fowler, "I would like
to express my sincere appreciation
to Chuck Erickson fend Vernon
Crook, business manager, for their
cooperation and, for the many
hours they devoted to investigating
the possibilities of such a reduc
tion." "I feel that this project", added

Some of the projects planned

Valkyrie Sing and providing en
tertainment for students' who
stay in Chapel Hill during va
cation periods.
Regular meetings are held
weekly in the Town Girls' Room
on the second floor of the Y
building, she said.
Carolina' "biggest pep rally of
the year" a "Beat Maryland"
homecoming pep rally will get
underway tonight at 8 o'clock
when the University Band starts
from Woolen Gymnasium on a
march through the campus.
The march will end back at
Woollen, where there will be a
bonfire.
Head Cheerleader Collie Colli- -son
said for "everybody to fol
low the band." When the band
leaves Woollen Gym, it will
march down Raleigh St. to Fran
klin St., down Franklin to Co
lumbia' St., and then back
through the campus to the gym,
Collison said. He urged all stu
dents to come and join the pa
rade and follow the band back
to the bonfire, which will be
built on the intramural field.
About 1,000 students from the
University of Maryland are ex
pected to be down for the pep
rally, Collison said. This is their
annual caravan game, and they
are expected to be down in force
as they were for the game when
Carolina met Maryland here two
years ago, he added.
The pep rally will end in time
for students to attend the Grail
Dance, which will, be held in
Woolen Gym, Collison said. '
"We're playing the best team
'we'll play this year,", Collison
said, "So let's make the most
rtoise that we' have made Jthis
lyear. Everybody come on "out,
get .into the parade, and lets
let everybody knowthat we are
proud 0 fthese Tar Heels and
that we are behind them all of
the way."
: Collison added that the de
struction that has . accompanied
pep rallies ; in recent years
should be eliminated. "Let's all
come out,' make noise and have
a good time, but let's don't tear
up . or damage other peoples'
property." ' .

An Order of the Grail official
said yesterday he hopes having
the dance tonight will "result in
a crowd as good as the one we
had after the Maryland game
here two years ago." "
The dance will be held at
Woollen Gym from 9 until mid
night with music by the Caro
linians, a 12-piece orchestra.
Tickets are being sold in :, Y
Court today from 9 a.m. until

The attempted panty raid Wed
nesday night yesterday met with
the disapproval of Dean of Stu
dent Affairs Fred Weaver and
Dean of Women Miss Isabelle Mc
Leod. According to Miss MeLeod,
many coeds were irritated by the
disturbance. Some were studying
and others were trying to sleep,
she explained. She was pleased,
however, by the manner in which
the girls conducted themselves.
Weaver said he was sorry it hap
pened. The raid started shortly after
midnight last Wednesday night in
the Lower Quad. From there, the
?roup went to Kenan Dorm, after
which the boys went to Mclver and
Carr Dorms. It ended at the inter
section of Cameron Ave. and Ra
leigh Rd.
Student Body President Don
Wowler had this to say about the
raid:
"I hope that .the students will
realize the seriousness of this
problem since it makes: for bad
public relations with the people
throughout the state. If we ever
expect to be considered as a ma
ture and responsible student body,
we must refrain from any such
actions in the future.
"Such events as panty raids are
the factors that keep us from hav
ing -i better class-cut systems, bet
ter; automobile and parking poli
cies as well as a number of other
things which the students would
like very much to have.
"I would urge all students to
do everything they possibly can
to discourage any future events
such as the panty raid last Wed
nesday night and if these raids
continue to occur, more drastic
means will be taken to eliminate
them."
No students were arrested dur
ing the raid because, according to
Capt. Bill Blake ol the Police
Dept., there were no serious dis
turbances which warranted such
action: v

Need
For
Farm Surplus Disposal
. In his speech last night. Rep.
Harold Cooley scored the rivalry
among farm organizations and the
"false impressions" presented by
agricultural officials in regard to
the farm program and rigid price
supports. . ; -
In a public address before the
Young Democratic Club, Cooley
said that the best way of farm sur
plus disposal was still to be found.
He said he hoped the solution
wold be found at the next ses
sion Of Congress. . ,u
The three main methods used
now by give-away, exchange for
local currency, and distribution by
various church groups have all
encountered drawbacks, he said.
A special danger area at present,
he .asserted, is the cotton export
subsidy program. He accused Sec
retary of Agriculture Benson of
concealing the true farm picture
and "doing everything to bring the
farm program and the farmer into
disrepute. Benson leaves the false
impression that all money invested
in surplus cotton is wasted, while
failing to admit a net, profit of $267
million in the cotton program,"
Cooley said.

Pan-Hellenic Policy
Editors Louis Kraar and Ed Yo-
der announced yesterday a "re
examination" of their policv on
Panhellenic Council coverage.
ine council last week refused
to admit a Daily Tar Heel reporter
to its meeting. The editors then
said until Pan-Hel reconsiders its
decision, the Council "does not ex
ist" in the eyes of The Daily Tar
Heel.
Their statement said further that
no news of the council's proceed
ings would reach the news nam
of this newspaper.
Yesterday's statement of the ed
itors' policy reappraisal said:
"We have reconsidered our pol
icy toward Pan-Hel coverage and
have decided that fightine censor
ship with the threat of more cen
sorship is a bit extreme.
"This change of policy is not to
be interpreted as a change in at.
titu toward Pan-Hel's refusal to
admit our reporter to its meetings.
"We continue to believe that a
representative . campus , organiza
tion, like Pan-Hel, whose business
touches the interest of many stu
dents on campus, should have im
partial coverage. W still think
the campus's right to know is be
ing abridged by Pan-Hel.
"But in the re-examination of
our position, we have found a cer
tain ethical contradiction in it To
ignore Pan-Hel's news releases,
while possibly Justifiable, is, ir
effect, the practice of censorship.
We have decided that we will not
engage in the same institution we
are fighting. - , " ;
"Of course, it should be clear
that iiy . campus organization
which refuses, like Pan-Hel, to
allow coverage by our reporters,
need not expect the same coopera
tion which the newspaper gives to
organizations whose meetings are
not secret."

PURKS GIVES
V
lews
Educa
In an interview in The Green
boro Record this week, Acting
President J. Harris Purks gave
his views on educational issues.
Among his views was his opin
ion of today's college or univer
sity students and" their strong
and weak points.
Purks said "the flickering pat
tern of our times and a lack of
clear objective perhaps create a
tendency toward apathy among
students."
"Educational institutions need
a clearer definition of purpose
and a determination to stick to
that purpose. When this condi
tion exists, I feel that students
will respond."
Purks also had this to say
about the University: "There are
at least three things which the
University of North Carolina
must acknowledge as its under
goes its own transition. First,
we must, at all costs, preserve
basic scientific' and liberal arts
instruction for our undergradu
ates. "Second, we must acknow
ledge that the University can
not be all things to all people,
and that where specializations
are required to meet the de
mands, we shall supply the spe
cialized Instruction."
Third, in recognition of the
severe enrollment crisis now up
on us, and in an effort to con
tinue to serve our state at the
highest level of excellence pos
sible, the University should gra
dually raise its standards of ad
mission, improve the quality of
undergraduate instruction, stim
ulate graduate and research pro
grams and require the highest
level of student performance
possible."
