Chancellor Robert B. House said Wednesday in Charlotte. ! Addressing a luncheon meeting of the Charlotte Woman's Club, he said "America is long on exhi bition games and athletics partic ipated in by the few and enjoyed t almost to a fanatic extreme by ! the many." "At the same time, the great movement in physical education is in the participation of the many in all sports which have a carry over value into mature life." Ho-use said Americans need more "matter-of-course instruction" in music and art. He said a thiru weakness is in the field of books and reading. The absence of books from liv ing rooms of North Carolina or the "equally disconcerting" look of unused books is partly to blame for a shortage of literary interest in Tar Heel schools, he said. "Education will grow better in an atmosphere in which all of our institutions home, church, com munity, government and business as well as schools, colleges and universities are believed in and used more. "In other w ords," he said, "I be lieve we do not ned new institu tions, but need to man the insti tutions wheh we have." 1 . - i t;- i " - . I i :. " V' ' iff V , . ' - , , ..

"Nevertheless, parents, teachers, home, school, church and commun ity all need to go deeper than crisis thinking," he said. "What we need is happy -concentration on the basic and funda mental values which lie deeper than any crisis and will last long er than the solution of any cris is," House said. Di Senate Was In A Quandary Over Quorum The Di was in a bit of a quan dary the other night. They had a bill, two speakers, a host of guests, but no meeting. The bill, calling for the resig nation of secretaries Dulles and Wilson had been debated and was about to be put to a vote when the quorum was ques tioned. A roll count was taken and, due t a lack of Senators, President Pat Adams was forced to declare the meeting non existent, very much disappoint ing the large gathering which wasn't really there. New Head For GM i Approved Howard Henry of the University of Wisconsin has been nominated and approved by the Graham Mem orial Board of Directors as the new director of Graham Memor ial. In a meeting held Thursday by the GM Board of Directors, it was decided that Dr. William Po- teat would send a letter to Henry offering him the job as director of the Studsnt Union to succeed the present director, Miss Linda Mann. Henry's nomination by the Board of Directors has been approved by Chancellor Robert House. Henry, present director of the Student Union at the University of Wisconsin, was interviewed in the spring of 1956 and was offer ed the GM post beginning Sept., 1936. This offer was rejected by Henry for reason of salary and ether differences. The present salary which is be ing ofiered Henry by the GM Board is $8,000 annually. If Hen ry accepts this offer, it is report ed by the Board that he will be taking a $1,200 cut in salary from his present position. Provided Henry accepts the of fer he would take over his -GM duties in July, 1957. Student Body President Bob Young announced that he would send a telegram to Henry urging him to accept the directorship and assuring him of the Board's sup port. Old Attendance Rule In Effect In Journalism The School of Journalism has completely reinstated the old class attendance regulation limiting stu dents to three unexcused absences. According to the new regula tion passed by the Faculty Coun cil on Dec. 7, this is within the letter of the law. In effect, it nullifies work done by a student government commit tee which strove for liberalization cf class cut regulations. The new class , attendance regu lation has in actuality effected no changes in the School of Journal ism's cut policy. The new regula tion states, in part: "Regular class attendance is a student obligation; and a student is responsible for the work, includ ing tests and written work, of all class meetings . . . The instructor or the department may make uni form attendance regulations." The School of Journalism policy on absences states: 1.

"I am against having the foot ball players in Cobb although the idea of having them in a smaller dormitory near the Mon ogram needs further investiga tion," said Sonny Hallford, Presi dent of IDC. About half of the members of the IDC took the same position. Some did not want to see the football players group ed together in any domitory. The IDC discussed the profit of the UNC book exchange but de cided to leave the investigation of the matter up to a committee al ready established for that purpose by Bob Young. Bill Brach, Joyner IDC Representative, commented after the meeting, "Why should I put someone else through school when I have a hard enough time putting myself through. If the Uni versity inists on charging high prices, why don't they use the mon ey for the benefit of every one. They ought to spend it to keep the top notch faculty whom South Build ing says are leaving because they can't match other school offers."

Almost everyone interviewed stated his belief in the- basic, hon- j esty of the students and most of ; them felt that so-called "bad" j checks are for the most part noth ing more than oversights or the r?sults of bad bookkeeping by the students. Experience over a period of years, according to the merchants, seems to substantiate this impres- sion. Still, there persists the fact that processing student checks is generally considered a "headache' by the merchants. Students are us ually easily located and "bad" checks are almost always made good, they point out. Most local merchants believe the risk run in cashing student's per sonal checks is ofLct by the good will which results. But a number of Chapel Hill storekeepers will temper this risk by limiting the amounts, and in some instances, for whom they will cash checks.
