In general, one wondets when one looks at this session where the Student Legislature has fallen to, and whether it will ever have the stienth to resurrect itself from the depths to which it had plunged. Pcihaps .on ftiliue issues o! educational importance, it will hae moie (our.r'e and assume more ... . ' ieNpfnsibility low.nds the whole of society than it has thus far demonstrated. Maybe it can be clone, but it is probable that the olr seier will have to wail until next semester. Variations I .4 IlVVervSiinplc We're So Far Ahead Of l;liev That In A Couple Of Years We Might Catch Up" , A Coliseum I he Chancellor displayed excellent jud.;c iiunt concerning new coliseum-armory building by leaving this out of the budget lecpiest. It is especially noteworthy in the context of haiiv; even sportswriler in the state bieathiii'4 down the University's neck, as well as piessure bein; generated by alum ni nioiips. Lxeisone knows Woollen Cvmnasium is obsolete, and eeione knows that with the picdiclcd 'lowth ol the Univeisity that soon Memoii.il Hall will be in adequate .is an audi toiium. Icpiallv line- is the fact that as lon as Caioliiia continues to have excellent bas ketball learns, the clcni and for the limited supplv ol scats to the lies will be greater and i;ic .itc i . Iloncxci. lor once somclmcly has put things in this Unixeisily in petspec live that tliis is piim.uily an academic institution existing loi the students and faculty with the alumni and state leaders taking .'" second.uy position. With this stand. ud of values in mind, it is impel. itie that the Unicisity put things icl. Med to academic alfaiis and to student wcll ie uppeiinost in theii budet ai y thinking. Hence, when one loks at the mass of tempoiai fiie inviting buildings on the campus and the inadecpiac ies in space in sue h dep. u tine nis as eo'raphy, neology, and pscholo-;v, it becomes abundantly clear tlirt these needs aie of primary inioi tanc e. When one looks at the diminutive size ol the pres ent Student Union, at its moi location with lcspcct to the mainstream of the campus, and to its K . k of icc iealional facilities, one c an be quite sine that this takes piiority. Whe n one looks at the clillic ultics Uni srtsiiy aichitects hae to lixe with in plan iiiui; new cloi niiiory lacilities and when one mvn that within these limitations they aie able to do only a very little about sound ioiuioI. the need lor better dormitory con stitution at a higher per student rate with less selMiiptidation becomes all too evident. When one can compare faculty salary ranges with that of other schools of quality in the nation ?m when one compares teacher student ratios, one is forced into the con clusion that ideally expanded resources are necessity so that Notth Carolina can base the f.u ults it wants. I he editor is not opposed to a coliseum. Inded. he would like to see one. as ; toast McCtiiiie. as an oppoitiinily for athletics to pas its was without taxing the students any thing, loi the lacilities that would benefit the student bodv and alumni in seatiivr, and in ptosidin a place for minor sports. lut at the present time there arc so many things that aie mimic impoitant. and these will have to take priority. It in av r may not be a consideration in the next b enniuin as to whether the coliseum should be- built fiom state funds. In the meantime, piivate capital should be secured. I'ci haps i can all be privately financed. While thij is join on. those alumni who think that the way the University can be noted ihicuhouf the country is tlnoui;h its athle tic piowess, ouht to peddle their child ish toss someplace else. Gail Godwin Hooray! Everybody went out into the cold weather last Tuesday and voted and now Chapel Hill is soon to be a legal home for all kindi of delicious beverages. Gone will be the days of: "Gee, Ivan, I'd love a fifth of Smirnoffs." ".So would I, but we haven't got a way to Durham." . ..And: 4ThC Zeta Thela iratcrnity served mixed cocktails consisting of chahipalc and draught beer, due to the fact that none cf the brothers - t could get to wet territory this afternoon. The party '' was an awful flop." : ' And: - "Mommy, when are we going to have Vat u'9 again?" "Shut up, and drink your beer." Of course, there will be a few unhappy advo cates of Temperance who will stalk around under f 1 their dark umbrellas to protect themselves from 4 their wet . surroundings. They will proclaim that Chapel Hill has heenmr an alcoholic sin rnntor but the 'fact remains that all the taxes wayward college kids have been paying to Durham will now go to build better schools f r Cinpel L Hill children. And even DOCTORS recommend certain AP.C store products for the prevention of neuralgia, neuroses, and halitosis. Everybody knows that. 1 So. all in all, most people in the area are happy for one reason or another over the new law. However, as one genleman of the old school put it: "You college kids have it too easy. I hear they're even giving you all legalized liquor now. In my day things were more of a challenge. You lived in terms of the risks you took. There was the risk of getting caught in the speakeasy on Saturday night. And then, with the kind of whi-ky we had, there was always the risk of going blind." Would anyone like a drink? The ice is in the kitchen and the drinks arc down at the corner ABC store. x ' ;v-' ....

A. LOPEa Cortland Edwards I! (This Is part one of a tw-p;irt series on morality, sexual be havior of the college male ;md female, and the importance of love in sex.) Every year more and more .stu c'cnls arc foregoing the pleasure of participating in intellectual organ izations or pastimes and ;;rc es caping their responsibi'ities as .stuJcnts by joining strictly social organization. As a result of this there is more drinking, more carousing, more parties, and much much too much emphasis on having a good time. This behavior has had its effect on the moral standards of our gen eration and has turned many peo ple into neurotics instead of ad justed college students. As a result it is being proclaimed that college students are much more immoral than ever before. This is net true! Students are not more immoral at all and their In-havoir is in ac cordance with the current stand ards of morality of this generation. The adverse opinions on im morality arc not based upon the current standards but rather on the old Christian ethic of morality that the Puritans brought over with them on the Mayflower. In other words, students are not more immoral, but rather the current American standard of morality is too low! It Ls set at a middle class level and inspires too few people. A few of the coeds on campus have gotten together, formed a Standards Committee, and with typical Puritanical outrage they have taken it upon themselves lo stop the other coeds from "sin ning" and to leach them how to be "Ladies!" Another group, which is on the opposite end of the pole Ls push ing for "freelove!" This group is composed mostly of fellows (how ever there are more than a few ccecls who agree with them) who consider sex as a mere means of pleasure. ; :", So now we have two more groups J or-factions represented on the campus the Abstainers or Pur ists) and the Free Lovers and they arc both DEAD WRONG; not on- in their thinking, but in their outlook and in their actions. Those purists who feel that sex r is a rjeciivsaryj.evil." (taken from ji cur CJiiitian heritage) and that it shoidd be -engaged in' only by married couples for the purpose of having children, "reduce the function lo its narrowest and most rudimentary level, stripping it of all its psychological values, and placing us once again on a level with the animals (Lewis Way)." .Martin Luther once said, "Ho v ho w ishes to restrain the impulse of nature and to allow it free play, as nature will and must, what does he do but this: to insist that ' nature shall not ' foe - nature, that fire shall not burn, that water .shall nut wet, that man shall neither eat, drink, nor sleep." Those people who believe in "sex for sex sake" and believe that women should be able to enjoy it regardless of whom their partner is, are also reducing sex to a sin gle function a purely physical function. This is just as bad as reducing it to a purely procrca tivc function. "Merc physical sex," says Way, "which is unaccompanied by the proper psychic satisfactions, in creases, if anything, the sense of frustration. Sexual license is the result of frustration, not the cure." Love is the missing factor in both of the above groups. Although both of the above groups are composed of immature people, my major complaint lies not with these people but rather v i:h a larger grcup - perhaps even equally as unstable. This group Ls comjxtscd of the non-virgins, semi virgins, and prostitutes - both male and fern ile!!! We shall call them Indiseriminators, because they arc generally indiscriminate with whom they make love. Even this is a minor form of prostitution. Furthermore, our complaint lies rot in their sexual experimenta tion, for this is quite natural - even it it should have occurred between the ages of 12 and 17. What we do abhor, however, are the reasons most girls give for submitting to a man, and the rea sons most boys give for the tak ing advantage of them! Some of the reasons are "curiousity," "too much alcohol," "expected to," "to belong." "why not!" "to prove my masculinity," "to prove my femininity," etc. Assanine reasons, all of them. Notice that LOVE was not and is not even considered! Whethjr a girl is a virgin or.no makes no difference to me, but her attitude toward? love, sex, and marriage does, Likewise, whether a hoy has intercourse with his girl or not makes no difference, but his reasons and altitude do. If two people are to have , an affair, LOVE should be the prime factor. By love, I am not referring . to Ihe "love of sex" or to thot which the boy proclaims immedi ately after he is convinced that he can "make" his, date this is not love for the particular girl, this is only love of a sex object. Love , is not an innate instinct. It is a highly spiritual - creation on the basis of the biological urge. Jn its exaltation it can bring us cither' a most profound feeling of belonging, of security, arid of real ity or it can bring u$ iftejtxitterest feeling of disillusionment. - Love ' is an exclusive passion of one person for another; a passion which makes the Jover desire this person only, while he.. firrfs other persons more or less' indifferent; which may arouse all sorts of em otions; and which may bring gen uine ' satisfaction without :c v e r . reaching- the stage of actual sexual pleasure (Rene Guyon).'-- "Love is," according to. Lewis Way, "a . balance between the urge to receive protection as if one were a child, and the urge to give it as if one were the parents. The fact of being cherished is a proof of one's value, and the pro tection over another is a confir mation of one's strength. "Thus a woman wishes to de pend upon her lover, but she also wishes at times" to mother him.-A man desires to protect the woman, but also at time to play and be comforted like .a little boy.. For both partners the love relationship is a mixture of strength and ten derness." w. . - : Without the accompaniment of love, sex becomes' a sordid and animalistic thing-' and one's name . beccmes a liltic number on every body's list to call up some night. This is not "right" but it is the American way. At the present time, the general opinion c;f coeds is not very high and appears to be going lower. .Unfortunately, few people realize that this opinion is npt, necessarily; based upon the;' behavior of the coeds but rather upon the attitudes of the average jmale student! r We, personally, ' find that the "average" college coed is by far one of the nicest and prettiest-, women we have had the pleasure of associating with. Very seldom have we run ir.to so many ideal istic, open, "and unaffected-women as we have met at the. beginning of each new semester. . ; . Unfortunately, we can also see them . change as they go from in dependent status to sorority status, from an Individual to a member of the InGroup . . We can see them giving in to group pressures, los ing much of their identity, and finally, graduating with a dislike of men and a fear of marriage. This is very sad. After seeing these things happen so many times we have begun do ask ourselves' 'WHY!" And most of the causes can be boiled down to the boys on the campus with whom the girls associate. The major difficulty lies in the fact that most of the boys have not matured emotionally or sexual ly by the time they get to college. This is not to say that all the girls have, but it is a fact that" girls . mature a lot quicker and a lot earlier than do -boys. The impor tant thing we want to stress is the fact that socially the average guy here in college is just experiment ing, out to have a good time, and . out to prove his masculinity. The comment "Coeds aren't in terested in anything but: getting husbands ' is heard over and over in the dorms ;and frat houses, but perhaps a more accurate generali zation would be that "College boys aren't interested in anything but getting tire privileges of marriage without being saddled with the re sponsibilities !' : V 'iRegisfrai'i0n'-.: P.

These are actual ly attached to cunningly concealed transistor radios, which help to pass the tedious hours in-line.- Others fill their pockets with chicken breasts, biscuits, to mato soup, etc., so as to maintain peak .operating ef ficiency. . i ;. . ; .: ' .

Biolo gy majors wind up taking It) hours of Music," English majors are forced to take gross anatomy and Em bryology.

Eventually,' throiish pleading and cojoling, most of these mistakes are rectified. Of course an occasional imprudent -soul is-gunned down by infuriated, advisory personnel.. This is the exception, rather than the rule, however Students sign papers and documents by the bushel.
