Under the Goettingen scholarship scholarship program, two UNC stu dents are sent to Germany for a year of study and two German students attend Carolina. Davis was a Goettingen scholar himself last year and returned to Carolina in September 1958. In Germany at the present time arc Bob Noble and Frances Rey nolds. After they return for at least another undergraduate year at UNC, Denton Lotz and Thai Elliott will replace them as Carolina's exchange scholars. The two German students here this year are Peter Nicholaissen and Hcincr Ilaemke. Next year, the Uni versity at Goettingen will send Vol- kcr Bcrkhahn 3nd the first coed, Kraulcin Becker.

'As of 3 p.m., the National Aero nautics and Space Administration calculated the 20-inch-long gold plated cone, called Pioneer IV, had reached 107,800 miles from earth. That's early halfway to the moon, some 220,000 miles away, and about 36,600 miles farther than an Air Force space probe attained last Oct. 11. Pioneer P7 was slowing down, but that was according to plan. As of 15 hours after launch, its speed had dropped from 24,890 miles an hour to 5,675 miles an hour. Although slightly off its intend ed course, Pioneer rV is expected to pass the moon about 2 p.m. at a distance of about 35,000 miles. Then, scientists hope, it will flash on to a solar orbit. The Russians launched a space probe on Jan. 2 and claim it went into orbit around the sun, which is nearly 93 million mimics from earth. A "splendid achievement" was the way President Eisenhower de scribed Pioneer lV's launching. He learned about it as soon as he awakened this morning. Maj. Gen. John B.

Young lashed at the Stu dent Party for their treatment of candidates for the editorship of The Daily Tar Heel in a statement is sued Tuesday. Young referred to the fact that he and Dave Jones were not a lowed to present statements of po licy to the SP at their meeting Monday night. Not only were we abused from the floor, not once, but several times as 'incompetent,' " said Young, "but a motion was passed that effective ly denied us the right to defend our selves and present platforms." He recalled the fact that "I and the other candidate (Jones) are no: only SP members, but also SP of ficeholdcrs." Young said that in his undelivered campaign speech he planned to af firm "that it is a mistake to select an editor who is irrevocably comit ted to one campus party or faction thereof." He listed the following points to point out his political neutrality: '1 ... As editor, I will attend meetings of the Student Party and the University Party as a newspa perman.

Jones Outlines Edit Plans For DTH Letters to the editor, a training program, Sunday features, campus news, and advertising commissions were items concerned with the man agement of The Daily Tar Heel em phasized by Dave Jones, in a state ment released today. "Letters to the editor are the stu dent's way of lashing back at the outrages of the editor and his writ ers." said Jones," I feel that all responsible letters should be printed when space will allow. When space will not allow, representative letters expressing all sides of an issue should be printed, with apologies to those writers who had to be left out." Jones said that he felt a training program should be initiated in each department to prepare freshmen and other newcomers for the top pos itions. He would encourage them to take the news editor's or managing editor's chair for brief periods so that they could get the feel of the job and its responsibility. "I would continue the advertising policies of the present editor." the candidate continued. "I feel that the incentive plan, giving commissions to the salcmen, has been a contribut ing factor in the paper's showing a profit this year." "I will continue to solicit sub scriptions from parents and alumni.

Journalism teacher Jerome Elli son made tne cnarge in tne cur rent (March 7) issue of The Sat urday Evening Post, noting that there is a national inclination to push education aside whenever it interferes with love or comfort, money or fun. His article, "Are We Making a Playground Out of College?" offers seme suggestions for improving the situation. They include abolishing automobiles on the campus, disband ing fraternities and sororities, eli minating plush university housing for married students until the head of the house becomes a senior and a re-entrance examination at the beginning of the junior year. Ellison, who notes that he is speaking with a background of twenty-five years of editing, writing, . teaching and publishing, says the thing that concerns him is an in tellectual immorality the encroach ment upon the main business of college of an accumulation of ir relevancics whlcii together make up a "Second Curriculum" that often "The Second Curriculum," he ex plains, "is that odd mixture of sta tus hunger, voodoo, tradition, lust, NO. 1 DTH PROF.
