On the UvStli September, they sent out their shallop with ten men and Sqnanto as guide and interpreter to the Massachusetts, to explore the hay and trade with the na tives, which they accomplished, and were kindly receiver.

Governor -William Bradford's History of Uie. Plymouth Settlement '. How To Save The Student Courts Unless student government" leaders can give the court system a needed transfusion of that blood plasma called student initiative, the student court .system may die. Speaking to a group of students this week, Dean of Student Affairs Fred H. Weaver pointed to several alarming trends. And, al though he did not say it, these trends add up to gradual loss of student control over .Weaver plainly outlined the trends like this: 1. Because of lagging student initiative, vir tually all disciplinary cases handled by student courts are brought by action of the faculty or staff of the University. t 2. The Universty Administration is brought An 1 to the process of student administration of the Honor System in the middle of student action. 3 Slovpnl rffltiJivlmont! nf th TTnivprcitir Tinve .- lost confidence in tie processing of Honor Sys- - tern and Cain pis Cp.de cases by student courts. .All; these things add up to whaticould be, t ll f."t .I'l f l - ,-,-fc ( -'- r t i - L't-tii-ljlifr ""v. in;' i a n:in vaiuiiiia ii au 1 1 iuu siiiuv. 1 1 k. self"-T' vvnmc't ' jj- ,:-l affairs. The f ruity, tinder University rules, is.iil timatdy responsible for student discipline. Willi the unique Carolina student govern ment setup, however, much of that authority is delegated to students. But now it seems that the students arefall ing down-Hclue to 'a lack of initiative. Our 1 conclusion and any other logical one con sidering these facts is that"" the faculty will take back the delegated authority from stu dents, if they are not satisfied. And they are now not satislicd. The Daily Tar Heel therefore strongly urges President Don Fowler "to summon his Cabinet and immediately consider this orob- lem. We suspect a thorough-going revision ot the entire judicial system may be -in or der. 1 ' Only one thing can save the student courts at this point the very thing that contribut ed to their .demise student initiative.

(Beginning a series of toeekly columns by a Carolina from Bor deaux, France, who will view the University and Uie United States leg ol through "the eye of the Frerich, meaning, he says, no" connection with "The Eye of The Horse. Editors.)' French pepole are supposed to ignore geography, and as a mat ter of fact they do. In that res pect, I must admit that' I am typ ically French, sb that North Car olina entered my existence for the first time when I knew that I was to go them "Son," my mother said, "since you're going to the South, you will have to go in pajamas all the day long." This assumption caused me to feel miserable, for I have alwajs considered that pa. jamas do not suit my' kind of personality, particularly during daytime; I consequently flew to a dictionary for a supplement of information. I fnus reanzea inai iorin car- olina is a big, funnily-shaped state, where it rains heavily in winter I was to experience it at some later time growing to bacco and mosquitoes in summer, and covered with a large forest of pines -just like' around Bor- deaux,' "(My home town, by the way.) Then I plunged into the un known: Visas, farewells, harkl kerchiefs waving in the breeze the Statue of Liberty glowing in the rays of the morning; in fact, I confess that I went through Montreal; but I relish the image, and besides it sounds so much more typical like that. So New York was my first typical exper ience, but I was to have many others as I underwent those dis coveries which make one feel that he has left one, continent for another, an' old. civilization -for a new one:, hot-dogs, cokes, hamburgers, college girls wirh white ock and so on My first impressions of the .uuiveiAiiy were quiie mi-vcu. ujj.- ' To: begin withf fcX. ; 1, ; University were . . . 1 u pressea oy me . long rows oi i...... u:t which gave me ah once aiery high idea of the wealth fbfHhe people. Methought that every s'tu - dent had at least a couple of them. In fact, I saw later on that the University members are split into two sets at feud: those with a car, and those without. (Sooth to say, I am without.) Another striking detail" was the extensive breding of bloated, flourislng squirrels sharing the general prosperity of the University; I realized now that squirrel-growing is not really one of the aims of the University. There are certain customs to which I took a very long time to grow accustomed: socials, for in stance. I remember the evening when I bashfully pushed the door of an open-house where were heaps of -people enjoying themselves very much around a large bowl of punch. (Quite like English punch with the only dif ference that there is no rum in it which people sometimes con sider a grave lack and that it presents varigated colours ac cording to the fancy of the dyer; it is all very nice to see.) All at once, an enchanting blonde grab bed my right hand, eagerly ask ed my name, the first and the second one, went into raptures when she heard it, and before I could put on a beaming smile, turned round to somebody else in a tflash. At that moment, a bewitching brunette snatched my left hand, requested my name, first and sec ond, did not listen to it, and you have already guessed while my smile was still in process, whirled away. Just at that very instant .... But you .already know how things were. I spent my whole evening shaking hands, yelling my name , into heedless ears, and striking up a friend ship with a terrific amount of people. To speak the truth, I admit that the first time I was taken aback, but with a little practice, I can now recite my name, ge, town, height, and weight and get off before my victim can recover from her surprise. I think I am really adapted. To finish with it, I have learn ed to drink beer out of tins, to utter a cheerful "hey" with a vague gesture of the hand, and I contemplate going to the barber to get a crew cut. Then I shall be a true-bornMooking North Car olinian. ' Under State Colorful In " ' - ' t . . ' - ' Promising New Things For Future Ethan Tolman The beautiful and historic old Capitol Building in Raleigh, built in. tie 1830's, has seen many peo ple enter its portals, and many happenings , take place beneath its majestic dome, which rises 92 feet from the main floor. Some of these things have been of historic im- portance, such as tae many debates concerning' slavery. Some have been shameful, such as the ac- tions which took place in the.se halls during recon- struction. Some have been prophetic, such as the actions of the State Student Legislature this past weekend probably have been. ! HUMOR Sparked with humor and led by Speaker of the House Jim Turner and President of the Senate Dave Reid, the two legislative bodies passed bills an(j resolutions on a number of subjects, some of them of a verv controversial nature, in a mature and intelligent manner. Tlieir action on some of t';e bills may well be followed in time by the actual legislature, as has been shown in the past by subse quent actions of the state legislature. The mature action of the delegates are not all that will be remembered, however. Dave Reid, UNC, j being carried, cigar in mouth, from Housej Lewis Brumfield, UNC, being evicted from resolution favoring gradual desegregation in all the Senate, the entire female membership of the House being appointed as a posse to recover the gavel from the Senate; these things also will be re membered.

FIRST IMPRESSION ' The first impression J -got as I entered the halls tempted to capture a Presidential was one of serious intent, mixed with a great deal nomination so far in advance of of high spirits. As the session wore on, the halls '.the-- national conventioh. Steven became5 quieter, and the . delegates paid more at- - accepted the onus of the tention to business, perhaps only because they were tired, but perhaps, also, because they too were impressed. One o'f the dominant features of 'this particular session was the good will' which existed Between the UNC delegation and the Duke delegation. Unlike "last year, the two most powerful schools present were able to work in accord. Few were the dissent ers, from this new relationship between ' the two .schools. RACIAL ACCORD Another aspect of interest in this particular ses sion was the accord which existed between dele gates of the two races. There wero few who could not recognize the lack of tension here as indicative of what might in time come about. Those who did were overcome by t.e legislature as a whole, both white and colored. In fact, this body, as a repre sentative selection of intelligent students from 24 school of hisher learning in the state, passed a o Stephens tive. Much of the discussion, most of it, was a report of pro blems. I did report, I ( ,b,eU?ye. that ..a freshman student said everyone had been nice to him. I. was unable to report, duetto the restrictions imposed on me as to identification, the com; ments of another student who sjnce;he; was ;the only pneiiri that school would have been reco i- nized. As far as giving "all the movie," that was impossible. Time and space impose limitation, and the session lasted more than an Jiour. As , to prejudice, I would say this. Certain "Patriots of North Carolina" have threatened to tar and feather (me because they consider me prejudiced. I 'Vepect their accusations just as I tlo.Mr. Stephens' implication.- V v : Hank Messick , Durham (Herald Staff Writer Deal fevencon . . i' Reluctant ; No Longer Doris Flccson - WASirXNGTON. rThe formali ties are over and the problems and perils of Adlai Stevenson, acknowledged candidate for the Democratic nomination for Pres ident, are now the news. The circumstances are unusual. Rarely has a candidate so ODenlv and reservedly at- frQnt runner; he becomes the fo- cus of a remorseless spotlight and the target of other ambitious men in both parties. He cannot afford to look back. Between now and next August he must hold what he has, and steadily improve his ' position. He has ho place to hide in case of embarrassing developments or the need for breathing space. He is not a governor who can plead the press of state bus iness nor a senator who. can use important legislation as a ladder or an excuse. ' He is a private citizen in the business of getting nominated and elected President. HIGH-TEST FUEL In order to give him a jet take off, . the Stevenson managers have committed large-quantities fo their high-test fuel, including the important states of Pennsyl vania, New Jersey- and Minne sota. .No wthey must build re serves for the crucial occasions that are bound to arise repeat edly in so extended a campaign. The next few months will be critical, for. Stevenson, perhaps, definitive.' . If he can achieve for his candi dacy a steady sense of growth and inevitability during ... that period, others will be discouraged and, the band wagon psychology will take hold within the party, and indeed, the nation. If he en counters a serious reverse or fails to I put across his bill of goods, it will mean Ground lost that perhaps cannot be recovered. There is no test for judging the course of the. Stevenson cam paign. The primaries will be im portant. There will be polls of more or less significance. Editor ial opinion on the validity of the Stevenson positions will count. The Democratic Congress can give him a bad time by its own behavior and reactions to him. MANAGERS AWARE The Stevenson managers are fully aware of his problems. They believe that given his circum stances he had ho alternative and no choice but . to admit he was a candidate and then go out and fight for the nomination. There is already intense pres sure on Stevenson to look for deals as with Senator Kefauver or with the governor of a large pivotal state such as Lausche of Ohio. His orders are that this must not be done but he will never be able to control specu lation nor the actions of all his supporters. . , The Stevenson speeches were famous in the last Presidential campaign and his managers arc counting heavily on them again. What they seem not able to do is to persuade him of the merits inherent in an editorial blue pen cil or even a paper sheers. He is again trying to say too much in too short a space of time. JAN SAXON'S CONCERT Jan Saxon, a student of voice under Walter Golde, pleased lo cal critics last year with the pur ity arid warmth of hercolorature soprano voice in 'The Marriage of Figaro' and 'The Telephone'. She proved Sunday night at the Petite Musicale in Graham Memorial that she is equally cap able as a solo concert singer, and a big audience responded gladly to her gracious presence, and the case and confidence with which she sang - in German, French, Spanish, and Italian. Her hearers noted the growth of power in her middle tones and her ability to create an at mosphere of charm and friendli ness. The volume she has attain ed to proved to be exactly suited to the dimensions of Graham Memorial.' . " She is a UNC student intend ing to graduate at - the end of this college year when she hopes to go into opera. She is gifted in drama as well as voice, and only a mightly indifferent world could now stop her rise." f jP8Sji ; ') -IB f J U S mget) I DaveMundn Assume that one is cntorin versity in Goettingen.
