iG mo THE DAILY TAR HEEL ror i he d btudenfs- Help The Class Of '60 One nl the first persons the an cti entering freshman sees on this e.nnptis is his orientation counselor.

President Don owler gi the student lxxly has lilted (jualified students tt come hack a lew days early to work on the program. . . there is nothing more satisfying than a counselor's Hoik," says Fowler. There are many students on this campus who love the University and, its surroundings, who are well anpiainted with "Chapel Hill. Those students arc greatly needed !or oiieutation work. "die counselor becomes the fieshmanVs frit-mi, qntstion-an-swerer and adviser on what to wear to the Coed Ball. He must refrain from telling the apin fjevhiiMii that Chancellor House p! as his harmonica every year. He must tell his charties. firmly hut diplomatically, ' that .draped ' pants don't j;o over tH) well here. And he must arrange dates for his fredimen with ;irls prettier than he eer met. There will he students who are homesick as soon as they reach the campus, and there will be those who drink a bit too much at the Rat. The orientation counselor must under stand all this, and -in addi tion "he must understand the Uni Ncrsity her building's, profes sois. the Library and Lenoir Hall. He must -be'. , able, to name all the bookshops.

He should not "I rifv thc XJmVi gloomy a picture of the- long houss in tlie Library and in the dormitory room, studying for a cpu'z one knows he will fail. Orientation work offers "old" students a good chance to remem ber what they needed to learn when they came. here, one warm' day in September several years ago. Counselors can get the good feelings that comes when one knows he lias helped another. They can start some of the future years' leaders on , the right track. For Solons: Magnifier, Gopypencil Section 1. Ratification and ap proved procedure. This constitution shall be ratified by a simple major ity of tlie student Legislature sit ting s a constitutional convention ' and approved by a simple majority of those voting at the general camp iw elections of 1950. Section 2. Enabling legislation. The student Legislature shall enact legisation providing for the order ly effectuation of the provisions of this constitution at the earliest poo sible date provided that it shall be operative in its entirety not later than spring election of 1951. If you read the fine print all of it in the student Constitution you ratified recently, you saw the biggest flub student government has made in recent years. The strident Legislature allow ed the students to vote on a con stitution that is more than five years out of date. As a writer else where on this page points out, we have nothing but a null and void constitution now".

Q r a c i o u s i;: tivi ng iT.jV;;? j 6.-1 Oracioas Living on the Carolina campus has been suffering from a mighty big thorn in its side for a lew years now. The thoin consists of the mat ches which are given to students when they buy cigarets at various places around the campus, such as Lenoir Hall ' and Y-Court. The in itches are of two types one h. s a Minute Man and a large . red V (for victory) on the lxiok.

CHARLIE JOHNSON on its. back. - Trying to fight one's cigaret with one of these matches is strictly a game of chance. Often the match gives out before any hint of flame appears. Other times one happen? upon a match which not only flares up on the first strike, but also lights up all the other matches and the striker's hand- Now, some people will say the matches are given as a gift to the smoker, and he shouldn't com plain. Hut matches of good cual- ity are given away in other places. The origin of the matches couldn't possibly be so recent as the Korean War. They must have been producyd at least as far back as World War II, and there are those who doubt their origin is any more recent than the First World War. How can a Carolina Gentleman possibly impress his date with his sophistication, or a Caroline Coed appear jxmed and cool when they must use these matches?

Now, that's an idea for Chapel Hill. The Geology Dept. could de termine the best place for a car cavern. The Building Dept. could dig the hole. Automobiles could enter through a sliding door in John Motley Morehead's new sun dial. The old Well could carry off ex ha use fumes. And best of all, students, faculty, administration and townspeople wouldn't have to walk more than 50 yards to get to the campus. YOU Said It: . m ore iooti if One W0 ' Constitution separately, but were asked, "Are you in favor of the revised student Constitution of the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill? . , . Yes No." The students were not . asked, "Do you agree with the changes in the Constitution?" They were forced to approve the Constitu tion in its entirety or disapprove it. : . J. They therefore approved a doc ument which by its very nature was null and void. To claim that the students were voting on amendments is absurd. The ma jority of the people voting prob ably didn't know what the chang es were, and even if they did, their only choice was to adopt the entire document, including the last article. The student Legislature went through the amending , process, 'You Mean Those Secrets Have Been Stolen Already?' Editor: Before the president of the stu dent body submits the recently approved revised student Consti tution to the trustees, some em barrassing questions must . be asked. By voting to accept the revised student Constitution, did not we vote to accept the Constitution in its entirety? If we voted to ac cept the Constitution in its en-, tirety, hovv can we accept Article XI which states: "This Constitution shall be rat ified by a simple majority of the student Legislature sitting as a constitutional convention and ap proved by a simple majority of those voting at the general camp us election of 1950"? "... it shall be operative in its entirety not later than spring elections of 1951." If we expect the trustees to ap prove a Constitution which is, by its own wording, null and void or . ex post factot we are doing that body an injustice. t Before the committee that re vised the noble document has a chance to vent its wrath, it would be wise to point out some things they unfortunately forgot. The students never had an opportuni ty to vote on the changes in the Eater Says Lenoir Fibs On Spe Editor: A recent article in The Daily Tar Heel claimed that Lenoir Hall provides students who buy the "Student Special" with a well-balanced diet for $1 a day. I protest! The article's "typical menu" is completely lacking in milk, raw vegetables, fruit and eggs, all of which are considered necessary for a well-balanced diet. Neither of the first two could be had by any juggling of the items in' the "Student Special."

Yet, the committee has sought to avoid the decision of the court: A 1 m 11 nas lound, it thinks, the de but the students were forced, to vote on a new Constitution. They only voted five years too late. It might be advisable for the student Legislature to get a copy of the Constitution and an of ficial ballot, read them and begin doing some work to get a Con stitution which will, pass the trus tees so that the administration won't be able to disallowstudent laws.

Chuck Hauser (Writer Creighton, a Vaily Tar Heel staff reporter, felt strongly about the report re leased last week by the State Advisory Committee QHEduca tion. The report, written after months of study, recommended to the N. C. General Assembly a plan of action to follow in in meeting the Supreme Court's decision abolishing seg'regation in the public schools .) Credit is due to the Advisory Committee on Education. The men on this committee ' have in vestigated the problem "of segre gation and have conscientiously compounded their conclusions. They, unlike the leaders of too many Southern states, have had the sanity to realize that the Su preme Court is supreme. TW re port they presented emp'hasized the fact that we must abide by the court's decision. Again un- tour. According to the report, the public school system must be re built from the "wreckage" left by the Supreme Court decision. The committee in its proposal has, however, reconstructed an exact replica with only a new name. The public schools are still segregated only now it is not on the basis of race, but it is on "the basis of congeniality of races. I have commended the commit tee for its insisting on the pres-. ervation of the public school system, yet I am sorry to see they would disband the system just to satisfy the uneducated, prejudiced parents of defenseless children. Unfortunateli',; tiif I committee !: has not "provided the answer ' to the' injustice which the - court wished to correct when it render ed its decision. The Negro, though not equal to the white as a group, is equal as an individual ami must enjoy equal rights arid equal oppor tunities. I say the Negro is inferior he is, for he lives in a far in ferior environment. But the Neg ro is potentially equal to the whito; this equality can be realiz ed in actuality only if the Negro lias equal opportunities for -development, only if he is not chain ed down. i Integration will come eventual ly, for there is no basis for seg regation. Whatever may be' the course for North Carolina in the next few years, we must maintain the school system and we must re main a lawful member of the ' United States.
