Jim Crownover introduced a bill proposing the creation of a student Carolina Athletic Council. Accord ing to Crownover, such a council would represent student opinion to the Carolina Athletic Association representatives and serve to make campus organization concerned with athletics more effective. The proposed council would sub mit a joint budget annually to the Budget Committee for all organi zations connected with athletics who receive money from the Student Activity fee. Norman B. Smith (SP) introduced a bill for John Brooks to appropri ate $600 to the UNC Forensic' Coun cil to complete its year's program. t A proposal for the establishment of a bad check committee was pre sented in a bill authored by Gor don Street (UP). The committee would work through the Merchant's Association to notify UNC students of their bad checks. It would in no way be a collection agency.

Budget Commission Leaves Library 11th In Expenditures By NEIL MURPHY If the recommendations of the Advisory Budget Com mission are followed, Carolina's main library will rank nth in the South on book expenditures compared to other uni versities' 1957-58 expenditures. Carolina requested $177,828 and only S 108,828 was rec ommended to the Legislature by the Commission. The recommended expenditures requested by UNC be-; fore the cuts were made would . I T T " J.. LiL 1 Profs Comment On Carolina's Budget Cuts part of the In-Service Training Pro gram for the staff of the Dean of Women's office. Mrs. Carter Burns moderated the panel which consisted of Jey Deifell, president of the freshman class; Bob Carter, chairman of GMAB, Paddy Wall, secretary of the Stu dent Body- Janie Walters, member of the legislature; Mrs. E. William Noland and Chancellor Emeritus R. B. House. DRESS COMFORTABLE Jey Deifell, the first speaker, said she felt the dress on campus was comfortable, practical and applica ble to the students' way of life. The next speaker was Paddy Wall, speaking for the senior women. She said that she felt that casual dress can be carried too far and gave ex amples of coeds going to concerts and banquets in bobby socks. Janie Walters complained that too often the townspeople of Chapel Hill don't set a good example of dress for the students. She reminded the coeds that companies often interview would-be employes' wives and judge them greatly on their dress. Mrs. Noland said that to be well dressed one must first be immacu late. She suggested that each per son should schedule a certain time for attending to such things as re pairing clothing BERMUDAS IN CLASSROOM He objected to bermuda shorts for both men and women and slacks for women in the classroom and said that he felt that the best word to describe the well dressed person was conservative. Chancellor Emeritus House said, "The one thing that has lasted through my 45 odd years here is simplicity." He said that he felt the clothes of the day are extremely sensible. HOUSE ON SLACKS Giving his opinion on women in slacks, Chancellor House said, "If they are going to wear trousers, I prefer to see them coming rather than going!" have placed the University eighth in the south on expenditures for bocks in the main Library by the '57-'58 figures. The budget for 1960 61 calls for 175,280 of a requested $183,280, which is still below the request that would place UNC eighth. NEED $225,000 Jerrold Orne, UNC Librarian. said, "It would take $225,000 year ly for us to keep our relative posi tion with respect to Duke and Texas. There is no question about it. Duke and Texas will out spend us greatly. Florida is coming up very fast and stands an excellent chance of stepping into our posi tion." Florida is presently just below Carolina in expenditures and fa cilities. . During the year 1957 and 1958, Carolina placed behind both Dulce and Texas in the total number of bocks in the libraries. UNC.wa 23rd in size and 27th in the amount snent annually on books in the nation. . If the "B" budget recommenda tioris were included and had not been killed 'by the Advisory Bud get Commission, the expenditures would have been approximately $40,000 nearer to the estimates of Orne. LOSING GROUND Orne went on to say, "We would be steadily loosing ground if th present figure is held. It would be a shame to backslide from our pres ent position of leadership." "It is apparent that institutions are becoming increasingly compet ative in library resources," said Chancellor Aycock. The University requested $1, (See LIBRARY, Page 3) Grant Of $48,000 Serves Two Purposes Playmakers Win Citation A fund of $48,000 which the Wood row Wilson Foundation granted to the Graduate School here will be used for the twofold purpose of (D extending some of the 1959 Wilson Southern Newspaper Publishers As sociation Scholarship in journalism, and the Coker Scholarship in botany.

The Carolina Tlaymakers and the UNC Department of Dramatic Art have been awarded a special cita tion from the American Education al Theatre Assn. Harry E. Davis, acting chairman of the department, made the an nouncement of the honor from the American Educational Theatre Ass., the largest and most influen tial national organization in the col lege, university and community theatre area. The resolution passed by the mem bership of the association at its last annual business meeting read: RESOLUTION "For long and imaginative dedi cation to education theatre, for leadership in scholarly investigation and in the recognition and encour agement of native playwrights and drama, for the exploration and ex tension of theatre, conventional and unconventional both on and off their campuses the American Educational Theatre Association expresses its warmest congratulations, its faith in and good wishes for the future to the Carolina Playmakers and the Department of Dramatic Art who, this year, are celebrating forty years of theatre activity at the Uni versity of North Carolina in Chapel Hill." The progress of the UNC dramatic arts program begin in 1918 when Frederick II. Koch, a teacher dedi cated to a belief in the creative powers of young men and women, initiated courses in playwriting and founded the Carolina Playmakers. Samuel Selden, who had been as sociated with "Proff" Koch since 1927, became director of the Play makers after Koch's death in 1944. Harry Davis is presently acting chairman of the department follow ing Selden's resignation at the end of the 1958 fall semester. COURSES The department offers a wide choice of courses in ancient and modern dramatic literature, history and technique. The work in practi cal theatre includes playwriting. acting, directing, scenery construc tion and painting, stage lighting, costuming, designing, theatre ad ministration and, in co-operation with the UNC Department of Radio, Television and Motion Pictures, courses in the communication arts. Since 1918 the Carolina Playmak ers have served the purposes of both a dramatic laboratory and a com munity theatre. Four major pro ductions of old and modern, djanias, clasical and popular, and four pro ductipns of new scripts, both one act and full-length, are done each year between September and June by the Carolina Playmakers. PRODUCTION ' The Playmakers have already pro duced "Oklahoma" and "Look Homeward, Angel" with "The Would-Be Gentleman" (Feb. 25 March 1); "Mrs. McThing" (April 8-12); and "Inherit The Wind" (May 7-9) on tap. Among the contributions of the Carolina Playmakers has been the development of outdoor historical dramas. The group has provided scripts through its alumni, direc tion and much of the staff and act ing personnel for five of these plays: Paul Green's "The Lost. Colony" and "Wilderness Road;" Kermit Hunter's "Unto These Hills," "Forever This Land" and "Horn in the West." The department draws students, for its major programs, both grad uate and undergraduate, from near ly every state in the Union. Stu dents have come for training from many foreign countries including Canada, Chile, China, Denmark, Egypt, England, Korea, Mexico, Norway, the Philippines, Thailand, Turkey, Uruguay and Venezuela. Dean of the Graduate School Dr. Alexander Heard also announced the names of the 24 Woodrow Wilson Fellows who have awards for 1958 59 and will have their terms of stu dy renewed another year contingent upon satisfactory performance. Dean Heard said $40,000 of the $48,000 will be set up as a fund which will enable the graduate school to renew the appointments through 1959-60 of Wiodrow Wilson Fellows who are recommended by their departments. The remaining $8,000 will be added to $10,000 from the Alumni Annual Giving Fund and $12,000 from Book Exchange profits to make a total of $30,000 for other graduate schol arship aid. Ten graduate scholar ships, each valued at $2,100 plus tution, will use $24,600 of the thirty thousand and the $5,400 left will be used to supplement present schol arships as follows: A Consolidated UNC Scholarship of a Woman's Col lege student; Waddell Scholarships in history, Kenan and Williams Scholarships in philosophy, the By DAVE JONES "It's a mathematical mistique." "I am reasonably satisfied. "It's a little premature to comment now. wait until the legislature changes it." "It's lacking in courage." These are some of the comments, tr.ken at random, from answers by members of the History Department when, asked to comment on the Governor's Advisory Budget. ? Prof. James E. King used the term "mathematical mistique" and said that the trend of covering up deficits and pushing them forward into the next biennium would, leave the University without necessary funds to go forward. King said traditionally North Car olina had been way ahead in educa tion over states that surpassed this state in many other fields. Now the trend seems to balance the scalea and put North Carolina back in an educational category that matches other items, King said. No longer vill UNC be considered "the best n tVie South. Our position as the leader was once secure but now we ire being challenged by schools like Duke." "I am reasonably satisfied" was he comment made by Prof. Harold . Bierck. He said he felt most facul ty salaries were high enough at he beginner's level to put UNC in the competitive market when it comes to younger men who might want to move. As for the older, mora experienced men he said it is re grettable that experience is not al ways rewarded. Bierck is in favor of merit salary increases, and feels that they should be based on teaching, research and general services (committees, ad visers). He said the Advisory Budget com mission was working toward a goal ol higher student to faculty ratio than at the present. This would mean that classes now with 50 stu See BUDGET, Page 3) ON GMAB PUBLICITY COMMITTEE Belanga, Lucas Named GM Committee Heads 'i ll' - v - ) ' I ! , " v! f i' jf- ;, '"cHiWf:f ii f - ' f i v --v - ; I-', f - L V' ' - - J ' ' w - - " P : 0 Vri r ' ?
