SATURDAY, JANUARY 5, 157 THE DAILY TAR HEEL PAGE THREE Graduate Sociologists Study Marriage Here By PRINGLE PIPKIN s. A comprehensive study of the problems of married students is being conducted by Kenneth Top ping and Thomas Gillette, graduate sociology students. From the report Topping hopes to determine, what services should be developed for the. married stu dents such as a marriage counse' service and to establish the per ing:Jor the University. j "The eventual purpose of the report is to help the University determine the role it should take in regards to the problems of the married students," said Topping. At the request of W. D. Perry, Chairman, Division of Student Af fairs, the researchers mailed 1,420 questionaires to married students in December. At present about a third of the students have returned their forms. Originally the deaa; line for sending the questionnaires was Dec. 19, but Topping said he would give the students extended time and would be happy to re ceive questionnaires during Jan uary. Also, he said that student'' so desiring may turn in their ques tionnaires without attaching a FACULTY CLUB Professor Albert Coates will speak at the Faculty Club lunch eon Tuesday at 1 p.m. at the Caro lina Inn. Coates topic will be "The Institute of Government in the New Building' SOME MORE LITTLE STORIES WITH BIG MORALS First Little Story Once upon a time there was an Indian brave named Running Bear who had a squaw named Giggling Water. Giggling Water was sort of a' mess, but she sure could make beaded moccasins. Every, day she whipped up a brand-new pair of beaded moccasins for Running Bear which were so gorgeous that all-the Indian maids on the reservation grew giddy with admiration. Well sir, Giggling Water got livid about all the girls making goo-goo eyes at Running Bear, and one night she tola him so. Then he got livid too, and they had a terrible rumble, and he slapped her on the wrist, and she started en'ing like crazy and moved out of the wigwam and went home to her mother and never came back. "Good riddance!" said Running Bear, but he soon found out how wrong he was, for the Indian maids were not really interested in him, only in his moccasins, and when he stopped showing up with a new pair every day, they quickly gave him the yo-heave-ho, and today he is a broken man, sitting all alone in his tepee and muttering ancient Ute curses. MORAL: Don't fight the hand that beads you. lair m 3S.rj:i i m u mf r-l " will MM ITI 7 : $e:6t&!e&fc:4Jif'i&t Second Little Story Once upon a time there was a sweet old gentleman named Nathan who ran a tobacco counter at a large American university. All of the students loved him dearly, and they used to come over whenever they could to buy Philip Morris Cigarettes and chat with Nathan, both of which were highly satisfactory pursuits. The Philip Morrises were highly satisfactory because they are full of natural goodness that is friendly and humane and soothing and no small consolation in this strife ridden world of ours. . Nathan, like Philip Morris, was also full of natural goodness that was friendly and humane and all like that. Well sir, the students smoked Philip Morris and yocked with Nathan, and everything was lovely. Then one day, the university decided to fire Nathan and put in a cigarette vending machine instead. Well sir, the students did'not take that lying down, you may be sure! They organized a monster rally and went over to prexy's house and made fiery speeches about good old Nathan and how they loved him. Well sir, prexy was no fool, and when he saw how heartbroken the students would be if Nathan went, he decided that the wisest course was to keep Nathan and cancel the cigarette vending machine. This he did, and they all lived happily ever after. MORAL: Better Nate than lever. Third Little Story Once there was a lion, which was a very quiet lion. In fact, the only time it ever made a sound was when it had a toothache. MORAL: When it pains, it roars, ' ' - ; CMax Shulman. 195 Philip MorrU, sponsor of this column, would like to point moral too: Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Try m pack of Philip Morris? and win yourself a heap of pleasure! name to them. Any married stu dent who did not receive a. ques tionnaire should send a card to Topping Alumni Bldg. ,' A memorandum from Perry says of the study, "this study was deem ed necessary - because it has be come apparent that the married student in significant numbers is here to stay and that the problem must be dealt with on a long-term planning' basis. In addition to gatn ering certain statistical data about married students and their famili es, this study will explore the fol lowing areas, among others: 1) Edu cational and occupational . goals; 2) Socio-economic background; 3) Housing, condition of current liv ing quarters, satisfaction with the current living quarters,, attitudes relating to Victory Village, sug gestions for married student hous ing; 4) The source and distribu tion of income; and 5) The emploj ment of the spouse and its relation to the role of the student. The re sults of this study should be of tremendous aid in determining long-term planning." To his knowledge this is the first study of this type done on such a large scale both at the Uni versity and in the United States. At present the researchers do not plan to publih their report in a book. Gillette plans to use part of the report to be completed in early March in carrying on doctoral re search; Topping will use some of the study in -working for his masters.

Ray Jeff eries, assistant to the dean of student affairs, was master of ceremonies. The, highlight of the evening came with the presentation of the 1956 Pledge Class. Led by. Pledge Class President Molly Adams of Wilmington, who was escorted r by Jerry Sowers of j High Point, the pledges came out on a platform when their names were announced. Dressed in white gowns and carrying nosegays of white carna tions tied with blue ribbon, the pledges walked under the arch way find down the steps whera they were met by their dates. For the figure .the couples form ed an ADPi diamond. Afterwards a dance was held in their honor, during which time ADPi charm necklaces were presented to them an silver trays. Other pledge class officers to be introduced were Secretary Margaret Sherrod of Enfield with Darrell Fleming, also of Enfield; Treasurer Ann Holt of Sanford with Sid Sparrow of Chapel Hill; . Social . Chairman Mary Lewis Kountree of Sunbury with John Griffin of Murfreesboro. In the center of the room was a large blue ball covered in blue tinfoil with broken mirrors re volving on a round silver plat form flanked with silver tipped magnolia leaves and long leaf pine. In one corner of the room was the refreshment table, which was centered with a small replica of the floor centerpiece. Silver can delabra holding blue tapers were placed at one end of the table and the silver punch bowl con taining fruit punch at the other. On the walls at intervals around the room were blue silhouettes of, each of the pledges. Lighted blue tapers centered the individual tables, and silver magnolia leaves covered the stair banisters. As a finale for the weekend the ADPis and their dates will have a dinner in Durham tonight followed by a champagne party. FICTION BOARD There will be a meeting of the Carolina Quarterly Fiction Board Tuesday at 4 p.m. in the Quarter ly office in Graham Memorial. ASTRONOMY CLUB The Chapel Hill Astronomy Club will hold its first meeting of the year Wednesday at 8 pjn. at Morehead Planetarium. All visitors have been invited to attend. Pushing Hubby Through (Continued fro-m Page 1) married students, he must also work to make ends meet. He works nights and she works days. Mrs. McKeown, who works in the drafting depart ment of the Durham firm, gets ur at six in the.' morning and reports for work at eight. Dur ing the summer, she had to get up at five and go to work at seven. By the time she' gets home at night, her husband is getting ready to leave for the hospital, where he is Night Administra- tor, The result is. that they get to spend very little time togeth er. , They feel, however, that the price is not too high to pay. - "We agreed when we got mar ried," Mrs. McKeown said, "that Frank would finish his educa tion. In the long run, we feel it will be. worth it." t McKeown says that .-. the ad vantages of being married while you are a student outweighs the disadvantages. "You feel that' you have something to work for, and your're more . stable," he de clared. He doesn't mind admitting that fie helps with the house work. "I had a first sergeant in the Marines who taught mV how. to make beds and wash dishes," he chuckled. - Another typical couple is Mr. Medical Fraternity Organizes Lectureship An annual memorial, lecture ship, to be called the. Adam T. Thorp HI - Alpha Omega Alpha Lecture, is being organized by the Gamma Chapter : of AO A of the University School of Medicine. The lecture will be a memorial to Adam T. "Skeets Thorp in of Rocky -Mount, who was killed in an t automobile accident late last summer at the age of seven. Dr.: Adam T. Thorp II, Skeet's father, was graduated from the UNC School of Medicine last June. He was elected in his junior year to membership in the AOA, which is an honorary medical scholastic society. . Election as a junior is one of the highest hon ors a medical student can receive. In his senior year, he served as secretary of the chapter. WELL LIKED In addition to this honor, Dr. and Mrs. Thorp and their children were very well liked and admired by all who knew them in Chapel Hill.. Dr. Thorp is now . serving his internship in the Bethesda Naval Hospital at Bethesda, Md, The first of the series of mem orial ; lectures will be given here May 15 by Dr. Robert E. Olson of the University of , Pittsburgh who has been studying the biochemis try of cardiac failure. GIVEN EACH YEAR The v lecture will be given each year by an invited medical scient ist or teacher chosen from the most stimulating and talented of the profession in this country. The lectures will be held dur ing the annual initiation of new members of the AOA, who are selected on , the basis of leader- Edwards (Continued from page 1) mocracy, or a 'Communist.' If you are not a 'segregationi-ft' you a-e called a 'nigger-lover, If you are not a 'conformist' you are a 'rab ble-rouser These are all very looae terms and mean nothing," he said. T wa going to' be sued for naiv.e calling once. But instead my name was written up in the papers. It was even on a petition that was being passed around the dorm aii this by the same man. I used the term 'do-nothing.' But I got back terms like "rabblerouser," 'icono clast aud 'liar.' I don't know much about law," he said "but I am wondering who was more libelous me, or the man who wrote the ex pose "Behind the Sweat-Shirt Cur tain"? .Y "I was wTong when I said he had dane absolutely nothing for he has done two things in his two and one-half years administration as president. He has obtained a tile floor for the social room and he was- responsible for the Navy beds and new mattresses. All this in a two and one-half year period. Wow! Such progress. ELECTION "Re the election for dorm presi dent, it ? went like this. Someone and Mrs. Bob Gaines of Gastonia. Unlike the McKeowns, they have one child. Like McKeown, Gaines is al so a veteran, but his G. I. Bill has expired. They were fortun ate enough to get in Victory Village after sweating out a long waiting line. ODD JOBS Because he is in law school and has several afternoon classes a week, the only work, he has done has been odd jobs. He has sold programs at the football game and done other such work around the University. Because of his afternoon classes, it is also necessary that they have some one to take care of Robbie, their three-year-old son. But Gaines also shares in the care of Robbie and the housework. Both McKeown and . Gaines say that if it were not for their wives, they could not afford to go to college. But both of their wives and most of the other working stu dent wives in Chapel Hill agree that in the long run they feel that everyone will benefit by their pushing hubby through. Their main source of income is Mrs. Gaines' job. She puts in a 40-hour. week at Memorial Hospital where she is a dietician She is a graduate of Salem College and did an internship "at the Medical College of Virginia. ship and independent scholarship in medicine. , . .- .. " . ; In announcing the memorial lec tureship, Robert ' T. Whitlock, president of the Gamma Chapter of the AOA said, "We all find it difficult to express ourselves when a loss such as this is suf fered by a beloved friend and col league. The AOA feels priviliged to offer this opportunity for such expression to those who feel so moved. The interest from our pooled contributions will go to ward paying the expense of a guest lecturer each year, sufficient hon orarium to draw the most excel lent speaker. In the event the in terest exceeds that needed for the lecture, a memorial scholarship will be offered to deserving medi cal students chosen by AOA with the approval of the faculty and dean." ".

Musicale To Feature Soprano Here Sunday ; The Petite Musicale scheduled for Sunday, Jan. 13 will feature Miss Martha Fouse, soprano. Miss Fouse will be accompanied by Walter Golde on the piano. . The program will take place at 8 pan. in the main lounge of Graham Memorial. - Miss Fouse will sing selections by Vivaldi, Schumann, Debussy and others. The admission will be free and everyone has been invited to at tend. Defends said there would be a dorm meet ing tonight (this was back before the election last year). Neither my friends nor I knew anything about it. .But that was all right, we were used to it by then. The president claims there were about 25 dorm residents present, out of approxi mately 110. I would imagirie theie were about 15 there," Edwaroa said, "for that is the usual num ber that attend even if they are properly notified that there is a meeting going on. "The incumbent president was nominated and seconded (I hope). There were no nominations to op pose him. Does this make him an elected president by acclamation? I wouldn't think 'so, but then I don't know law. 'In the president's denial he didn't mention that he did go around the dorm on election day with a pad and penciL And he also will admit that he visited the dorm rooms only once. And I think he will admit that no more than 25 per cent of the dorm mem bers h?.d the chance to vote. What kind of a majority is this? "And since I was granted the right to vote by all kinds of con situtions," he said, "and yet was denied the ppportunity to vote Ly my dorm officers, then I will yell my lungs out that something is ret ten someplace. I did not have the opportunity to vote that day, for if I did and had 1 known that the incumbent president was running unopposed then there wouFd have been a write-in vote not only by ma but many others in the dorm who feel the same way so that thje same man would never get in office again.- "Incidentally the president, has staled in the paper our dorm re ceives approximately $140 per year. Out of this $30 has to go for a repair job on the dorm IV set. This leaves $100 for social functions. What I would like to know is when are we going to have the first party? Or are we going to wait until next semester ani have, two? And why wasn't thre a dorm entry in the Duke parade," he said,'. '"or a display up for Home coming? Or a coed sponsored by this dorm in any of the beauty contest? Maybe I just expect ioo much from dorm officers, regard less of how they got in office. VERY SURPRISED "In conclusion, 1 was very sur prised in the dorm president's art icle. But as I thought about it' for awhile I remembered here is a man who is going to run for tit3 editorship of The Daily Tar Heel for next year, who has received a black mark cn his record. It is al leged tnat he became desperate then and tried to erase the black mark in a characteristic method. , "I wonderv Mr. President," ha said, "if you can't run a dormitory how do you expect to run a newspaper?" Woolley Stars In Free Flick Today At 8, 10 Monty Woolley plays "The Man Who Came to Dinner" in GMAB's free flick feature of the week held in Carroll Hall at 8 and 10 p.m. today. ' ' Starring in the comedy with Woolley are Bette Davis, Ann Sheridan, Jimmy Durante, and Billie Burk. Woolley takes the role of a man who comes to din ner and extends his visit for 3 number, of years. The free movie is being held tonight because there was a con flict in schedules and it could not be held, as is the custom, on Fri day night. 'Symphony Of Snow' Is Theme Of Dance B y MARY ALYS VOORHEES To a "Symphony of Snow theme Kappa Delta Sorority presented its 1956 Pledge Class at its annual pledge dance in the ballroom of the Carolina Inn last night Snowflakes, snowballs and other decor formed the winter setting for the dancing, which was to the music of Bill Langley and his Star Dreamers. UNC Coed Barba ra Prago was the featured vocalist. KD Vice President Melba Re mig opened the pledge presenta tion program with a few words to tell the dancers 4 about their theme in connection with their pledge class. 1 Pointing out that music had be come . the byword of the Amer ican people and how it was com posed for different media, she con trasted the pledge class with a symphony orchestra: "Alone each instrument is an individuU with special talent; spe cial beauty. But combined, these instruments become a part of something' bigger, something of greater beauty; of oneness and har mony." . ' In conclusion she - introduced Charles Bernard, assistant direct or of admissions, who acted as mas ter of ceremonies. Dressed symbolically in while., the pleage class was presented as a symphony of snow. As each pledge's name was calle-i she was met by her date and es corted down the stairs through the white columns covered in snow flakes and surrounded by snow balls at the bottom. When each pledge came out on the dance floor she was presented with a single white rose by KD President Peg Humphrey. Pledge Class President Betsy Lyon of Durham, escorted by Jim Martin of Charlotte was the first to be presented- Next to be an nounced were Vice President Jane Patten of Charlotte with Ed Brown of Anderson, S. C, Secretary Edith MacKinnon of Charlotte with Troy Brown of Tampa, Fla., Treasurer Connie Whittaker of Whittier, Ca lif., with Preston Browning of Cul pepper, Va., Social Chairjnan Bar bara Honey of Charlotte with Ed Price of Charlotte and the re mainder of the class. The couples then formed the KDs diamond, after which the active serenaded them with "Deep Down In My Heart," a traditional KD song and a dance was held in their honor. Later in the evening the pledges were given KD charm necklaces by their big sisters. Decorating one corner of the ballroom was a symphonic f fan tasy in m elegant wintertime set ting.
