State Of The Campus
Don Furtado
(The following is a continuation of Student
Body President Don Furtado's speech before tha
Student Legislature, Thursday night.)
HONOR SYSTEM
Recently, our Honor System underwent quite an
extensive remodelling. A change had been neces
sitatied by the tremendous growth of our student
population, for it was necessary to find some way
by which students could recognize their close re
lationship with the all-pervading code which is the
nucleus of our Carolina way of life. Within the
next two' weeks, we must conduct an all-out cam
paign of education among the student body in order
that those who live under our new system, the
students, may return next year with a full under
standing of the exact nature of the restructured
councils. Work has already been begun and I hope
that before the end of this semester, every student
will have a working knowledge of the operation of
the Councils.
The second problem with which I am concerned
is our need for a new student union. The plans for
our present union were drawn up in the 1920s,
when our student population was less than 2000.
As our campus has expanded, it has become ob
vious to everyone that Graham Memorial is woe
fully lacking in facilities and space. This problem
is heightened by the fact that Chapel Hill itself
offers only a few recreation facilities, unlike such
towns as Raleigh, Winston-Salem, Durham, or
Greensboro. In addition, as our campus has ex
panded, it has moved away from the areas in
which the union is now situated, making it very
inconvenient and often impractical for student use.
STUDENT UNION
All of us recognize the need for a new, more
centrally located, better equipped and larger union
building. The mere realization of this fact, how
ever, is not going to acquire that union for us. It
is going to require the unselfish and diligent ef
forts of students, faculty, administration, and
alumni to get a new union.
On Monday, the report of the Building Com
mittee of the Graham Memorial Board of Directors
will be presented to the Chancellor. It is the result
of a great deal of hard work, but it is only the
first step on our road toward a new union. Each
additional step will come a a result of continued
hard work and determination.
A third problem which has faced us for several
years here Ls the social plight of the dormitory
man's activities. Present rules prohibit him from
taking dates into dormitory social rooms. Because
of the limited, almost nonexistent reception and
.ocial facilities of Chapel Hill and the University,
this leaves him in a pitiable situation when he wishes
to date, or een bring his mother into the dormi
tory. I feel that thi.s social vacuum is one of the
direct causes for the lack of dormitory spirit and
unity which is so evident at times. This deplorable
situation can be remedied by the institution of a
men's dormitory visiting agreement in those dormi
tories where it is physically possible. Primarily, it
would be the job of the IDC to investigate, plan,
and enforce such an agreement, and I have a
great deal of faith in their ability to work in this
area. To acquire the agreement, however, will re
quire the interest and cooperation of numerous or
ganizations and individuals.
There is a fourth problem of perhaps an even
more serious nature which the expansion of our
University has brought on the use of a self-liquidating
plan of dormitory construction. While recog
ni.ing the Universities need for additional dormi
tories, we alo recognize the fact that students are
not financially able, nor morally obligated at a
state institution to aborb the cost of dormitory
construction through spiralling room rents. It is
necessary that student government use every meth
od thct it can find to how its aversion to such a
policy, and thus to help bring to an end the self
liquidating policy.
FRATERNITIES
A fifth problem area is our fraternities and so
lorities. A large segment of the campus has frater
nity or sorority
affiliations. As
our student body
grows, it is only
logical to assume
that there will be
an increase in
the number ol
students desiring
to join these
groups. To meet
this demand, aid
fraternities and
sororities must
expand and new
ones must be
brought in. At
present, this is
very difficult.
This past year a
number of frater
nities indicated an interest in coming on campus
while several already here slated that they desird
ery much t move to new locations where they
would have more adequate facilities. Because of
several state statutes and town ordinances concern
ing zoning of fraternity areas, both of these move
ments met suddt n death. A thorough investigation
intj the present restrictive ordinances should be
undertaken in an attempt to find a means of pro
viding for our expansion. This is an area in which
the IFC and the Pan Hellenic Council, working with
the president of the Student Body can do a great
deal of progressive work.
' That is only one area in which the IFC can and
should show its maturity and leadership. This past
j ear, an incident occurred which was spectaculariz
ed by a number of newspapers. It did bring to light,
however, the fact that the IFC must assume in a
more positive manner the responsibility for enforc
ing its present rules, strengthening the IFC court,
and making each fraternity member cognizant of
his responsibility to the entire campus. I have great
faith in the potential of this body and I am looking
forward to a year in which the IFC will assume that
position of able leadership of which it is capable.

Education
Louis M. Hacker
(This' is the fourth of a series,
previously printed as one article
in last week's issue of The Na
tion.) Revolt is not taught in the clas
room. The youthful Alexander
Hamilton was not made a rebel
by his teachers at King's College
or the young Shelley by his tu
tors at University College. Youth
becomes rebellious when injustice
and inequalities are abroad in the
land, leaders an corrupt and soc
iety has no confidence in itself.
It is. in consequence, the status
of learning in our contemporary
world that is alarming. Educators,
,as scholars and teachers, have .
been and continue under a eloud
of suspicion. Because of undue
concern with security, particularly
in the sciences, learning is being
regarded as a sensitive area. What
Professor Edward Shils so aptly
calls publicity" free access to
scientific knowledge, the rights of
publication, opvn discussion in
conferences, and travel by scho
lars and scientists to other lands
and from other lands to ours is
being restricted. Dubious witnesses
are being given credence; youth
ful associations are being exposed
to demonstrate unreliability; leg
islators and sclf-appointed groups
continue to voice their want of
confidence in teachers.
Teachers have been asked to
sign special loyalty oaths; to
purge Lhemselves before investi
gating committees by giving
names of associates; and to sur
render an important protection
against self-incrimination the
safeguards afforded by the Fifth
Amendment. They spend their
time and substance defending
themselves against calumniators,
some of whom are engaged in
their traffic professionally. Only
too frequently, the administrators
of universities have not defended
their colleagues under attack;
worse still, they have not had the
courage to restore to academic
life men who have been dis
charged f;cm teaching posts simp
ly because they refused to ans
wer questions about their private
lives by legislative coaimittees
There is a virtual blacklist exis.
ing in the American university
world that is as mean and cruel
as any inquisition.
Why do I raise these uncomfort
able questions? It is because I
believe that neither universities,
nor in fact our free society, can
survive and knowledge advance
unless we can guarantee to schol
ars and scientists both publicity
and privacy. And unless we are to
acccr;. beyond question that univer
sities, their faculties and profes
sional associations, should protect
themselves against incompetence
and the s-econd rate, the very
heart of the principle of free in-5
quiry is surrendered.

REVIEW PLAYMAKER ONE-ACT PLAYS
It is worth noting that the Playmakcrs are most entertaining
when they least intend to be. The "workshop" productions and their
student written and produced one-acters are consistently the most
interesting things the Playmakers do, even though they are under
emphasized in comparison with the major productions.
Such was the case with the bill of student one-act . plays pre
sented this weekend. They were obviously
produced on a shoestring and with a mini
mum of rehearsal and they were given very
little publicity; yet the plays were inter
esting in spite cf this.
Gabriclle Roepke's "The Dangers of
Great Literature" was the most successful
production of the evening. The farce was
excellently directed by Page Williams.
r v ' ine mosi provocative play ot the even-
", " nn 'in ftmi inS was George Hill's "Mossell and the
Laurel Bush," a folk-fantasy with a well-executed
psychological plot. Folk drama seems to be most often repre
sented today by the "symphonic dramas," which are mainly tourist
attractions and not art. Hill's play was both folk play and art, and
a successful combination of the two.
In "The Freudian Years," Kenneth Callcndar crammed his un
obtrusive plot with every neurosis, psychosis, complex, etc. in the
analyst's case-book, and he came out with a succession of sometimes
funny jokes. After a while, the point became rather obvious. It was
good fun.
The fact that the Haymaker front office obviously relegates
these productions to the status of second class productions makes it
pointless to review anything more than the scripts. Each of these
plays deserved more time and money than it got; the result was
that only "The Dangers of Great Literature" came close to being
as successful as it might well have been. "
In the light of the quality and interest of these plays, perhaps
the Playmaker directors should re-orient their thinking toward fu-

The biggest news story of the week was the new set of rules
for freshmen coeds proposed by the Women's Residence Council
under the leadership of Lillian Shannonhouse.
- The new rules met stiff opposition, all over the campus with
the exception of the Nurse's Dorms which endorsed them. A poll
conducted by The Daily Tar Heel showed that almost' 1007c of the
men questioned and over 60 of the coeds who filled out the ques
tionaires were against the new restrictions.
On Thursday night in the Student Legislature, Representative
Gary Greer proposed a resolution to have the Student Legislature
go on record as opposing the new regulations. It was passed by a
large majority.
The future promised continued campus interest on the "touchy"
proposals.
Glancing over the week ,we find that The Daily Tar Heel hired
an Assistant Feature Editor in the person of Ken Friedman of As
