THE UNC NEWS WEDNESDAY, JULY 1, 195 PAGE 2 '. : : - ' Educate 600 Or 30 v I Eotroft sanctum During the National Conference on In School Television here last week, Alex ander J. Stoddard, director from the Ford one teacher plus the TV teacher and permit more students in the classroom: one teacher plus the TW teacher and some assistants (for roll taking) could teach a class of at least 6oo. Mr. Stoddard went on to say that such such large classes .would "not hinder the learning process." In fact, he said, "The teacher is unable to do as thorough a job of teaching" in the traditional 30-student classroom. ; Is the ability in the smaller classroom to know each student his weak areas and his strong areasnot a thorough, a job. of .teaching. r Granted the teacher may not have time to cover as much material; but if her stu dents learn the material covered, isn't this worth as much as trying to throw educa tion to 6oo wondering minds without knowing how much each student is hit with it. No matter how the students were se lected for in-school TV classes, there will be variations in the capabilities of stu dents and the ..learning process will be hindered. Although the merits of education TV are recognized, trying to mass produce ed ucation for 6oo at the same time is a dis advantage. Therefore, until this difficulty is erased, it is a choice between less understanding with more students in a classroom and better understanding with a "traditional" classroom. campys pulse and temperature: LETT EE St. Anthony Hall Leads Way 1 Laurels to St. Anthony Mall. The St. A fraternity has taken a major step in architectual design for Chapel Hill. Contemporary! Still in the construction stage, the new St. A house on Pittsboro street will have modern lines with a brick and red wood txterior. No massive colmns or ornamental frame work for these guys. All the new buildings on campus still follow the colonial style because "it's part of Carolina" or "don't clutter the campus Vith an unholy mixture of styles." Ever since William Davie founded the University, the architect on the. campus, and even on Franklin street, has learned iloward Georgian style. For while this was acceptable; however, now it is not.

Not only is the present architecture on campus out of date, its is not functional either. Ackland Art Center should have large glass walls and skylights to give na tural light to its studios, not small, many paned windows. Georgian architecture costs more than cointemporary style because it has so many unfunctional parts as the large concrete window sills now being used in the addi tion to Peabody Hall.

Will the large University follow them? itioning Now bill, there are two others: Student fees must not be used to air condition offices and rooms for a few and not all. Any extra money in the student treasury should not be used for any addi tion to Graham Memorial, but should be invested to make money to use in the new student union. I The Way It Is A Typical Coed Speaks Out , (This wwk, in an attempt to p answer numerous complaints t that there is an inequity in the f girl-boy situation on this camp 1 . us, this column calls upon a l typical and quite familiar coed.)

Let them pave their own lot. Student Legislature funds are not usee1 for paving j dormitory parking lots, or put ting sidewalks in Victory Vil lage, or doing all sorts of other th ngs of this sort for students. Dorm men pay tor the serv ices they get, such as they are, when they pay their rent. Same thing for peupie in Victory Vil lage. Now it appears that these two classes of students are ex pected to subsidize the frater ni y dwellers by paving their pai king lots for them. I would propose that the fra ternity boys take out iirst mort gages on their thunder birds and pay for paving their own park ing lets, mowing their own lawns, furnishing their own lounges and whptever else they want to do. . Lloyd Menton Dear Editor: One policy the president, the DAK, the Unhed Nations and Emily Post have all agreed to consistently tor the last twenty years has been the propriety of a smile and a friendly "hello." However, wc the superior stu dents of UNC are above such nonsence as we walk along the campus , siuewaiks in our ivy .league shells, giving the impres sion ol . Botany , majors as we pass one another looking intent ly at the ground or up into the trees. If eye meets eye, the result is an embarrassed blush. Who's ashamed of what? Lets biing this mysterious secret , out.. Into the open; or else get back into the swing of the dvi'izedV world. Jane McCorkle Editor, UNC News: I , read with interest Miss Mc Corkle's comments on . modern art in the June 17 issue of your paper. It was quite a coinci dence that I had just read "Birth of a Master" by Andre Maurois. In this essay of four pages M. Maurois humorously shows the utter absurdity of modern art. I completely agree . with M. Maurois. Most of the so-called ','mod ern art" is the greatest hoax that has ever been put over on the public, but I am sure it will by no means be the last. We , should pity the insecure man who tries to understand modern art in order to appear cultured. He is doomed to trustration if he is honest and does not feign understanding as many do and may possibly develop an inferi ority complex because he does not feel cultured. lie is doomed to frustration because there is nothing in modern art to under stand. Those geniuses, to whom Miss McCorkle referred, who can un derstand something in nothing .should certainly be studied by our medical men. Who knows? Here might lie some of the mysterious secrets of the uni verse. Something from nothing! .Maybe this age-old dream has come true. Miss Mc Coikle is apparently a devotee of modern art , and understands, I presume,, the "artists" who continue for obvi ous financial reasons and lack of artistic talent to perpetuate 'his hoax. She said that "be is (See LETTERS, Page 5) SUNBURN By STAN FISHER Well, there's already been some American home, the American comment to the editor that Univac be employed by Mr. Jim Tatum in . running 'up Carolina football victories.

Well, let's see. If I was a boy Oh, that's silly!. Well, anyway, if I was, I don't think I'd mind it either I mean when there's a whole lot more boys than there are girls, that makes it more exciting, don't you think? I mean you know how boys are. They like to make everything so difficult. I mean that may not be true in every case, but in GEN ERAL, I'd say that's the way it works. I mean, gollymackeral! Nobody wants anything handed to 'em oa a silver platter in this day and age! And if we kno in advance about one point losses, wouldn't it be awful?

That's the way it goes: American sex L.'e, the Mother, the American male, f the home roles of the American pa rents and now the lowly Ameri can breakfast have all drawn sci entific salvos.

He voices the hope that the wholesale privi lege be withdrawn. He can reot easy. The privilege probably hasn't been used by a wholesale number of undergrad uates and if he'll just keep trying to study, he ought to outlast 'era. Fellow on blind date, in , pres ence of date, says to girl who ar ranged the whole horrible affair: "You know, , isn't half as homely as you S3id she was on the phone?" This illustrates the three basic rules on college happiness: plagi arize, improvise, but most of all, RATIONALIZE.
