In Excuse System
A proposal to make a significant change in the present system of
issuing class excuses will be presented to the Faculty Council tomor
row afternoon.
Sonny Evans, president of the student body; Don Furtado, vice
president of the student body, and George Ragsdale, chairman of the
Men's Honor Council are sponsors of the suggestion.
The advocates, in. a statement to The Daily Tar Heel, stressed that
the proposal "is concerned solely with the granting of excuses, rather
than with regulations on class attendance."
"The decision by the administration, during the recent outbreak
of the flu, to make class excuses purely a matter to be settled by the
; student and his professor, was." according to the joint statement, a "ma
ture and wise decision."

effect.
Only one member present voted
in the affirmative on the proposal.
Simpson opened the debate by
advocating socialism as a means
to keep this country free and equal.
He rapped capitalism as a waste
and exclaimed that under socialism
ou have only one product, and
that is the best product.
Government," he said." would
absorb losses while the worker
would keep getting his salary with
out fear of lay-offs."
Opposition to the bill was then
forwarded by Dave Matthews who
j defended capitalism as a protector
I of initiative and our way of life. "If
j we want to foster initiative." he
stated, "then we ve got to say let
the best man win.'"
Matthews was followed by a
series of speeches urging a "no"
vote for the bill. Included were de
liveries by Don Jacobs. Warren
Coolidge and Jack Lewis, who took
first place and tied for second in
the society's top speaker awards.
Coolidge, chairman of the Phi
ways and means committee, an
nounced that next Tuesday's topic
will be "Should a Bill be passed to
the School Constitution, preventing
the enrollment of Women Students
to This University?"
President Bill Tolbert stated the

The third train was derailed just
