The I tlitoi 1 State Of The Campus Talk Charles Dowd Gray Student Body President As the present administration draws to a close, it is time for all of us to evaluate the past, present, and future of Student Government. Government by the ludents has for years been un dergoing a steady transition. Th early years were those of plan ning socials and other activities to provide outlets for the extra time and interest of the students. With the end;n of the Second W'erld War. the whole complex: n of our campus was changed is Carol ina was flooded with a Stu dent Body made up primarily of veterans. The ideas brought to our campus by these war vet erans started a trend in Student Government that is still very prevalent today. From the plan ning of social activities we have progressed to the drawing up of a strict constitution, the forming f. a legislature, the forming of a judicial system of guaranteed rights, juries, defense councils, etc., the growing concern for in fluence in state, national, an 1 international affairs and finally the desire for influence in the area of university administration, admissions, course quality and the like. So you can readily se that the liberal trend that start ed in 195, has transformed our Student Government from a small unimportant group to a large, complex, and vastly important phase of this university. This trend has been good, yet It has been bad. Let us first look at the good. If an adminis tration stresses equally all phases of student responsibility then true accomplishments can be gained. In the past some admin istrations have become obsessed with one phase of this progres sion and have neglected impor tant aspects of the other phases. This year's administration has attempted to deal equally witi all phases more specifically (1) Campus Affairs (2) Administra tive efficiency (3) Academic Af fairs (4i State ATfairs and (5 National-International Affairs. In the first phase. Campus Af fairs, the following has been ac complished: () The house fines for coeds have been lessened and a policy for accumulated late time of ten minutes has been established. (2) Half-price date tickets were secured for three home football games. This is the largest 'num ber of games we have been able to secure. (3) The Jim Tatum Memorial Award was established to honor the memory of a great man in athletics. (4) A committee was formed to revive our outdated Student Constitution and is now com pleting its work. (5) Under the leadership of President Assistant Jim Crown over, the Iast Lecture Series was established to try to stimulate thought among our student body. 6) More all night study rooms were opened, including Graham Dormitory basement and 12 class rooms. An attempt was made to get the Undergraduate Library to remain open until 2 a.m., but failed because of lack of fin ances. I have recommended that such a plan be considered in the Library's budget for the coming year, (7) The groundwork for a Student Tutoring Society has been laid and should become 5 reality by at least next fall. (8) The preliminary plans have also Teen laid for an All-Campus Conference to evaluate Student Government sometime next fall. (9) The precarious fire hazard that existed in IJ. F. Court be cause of the crow.icd parking conditions was alleviated by j-c-curinj parking place f-or fra ternity men in Ackland Parkin, lot. (10 A football ca-avan to Maryland was sponsored with limited success. Its success was greatly hindered by a strict cut policy carried out by. many pro fessors. (ID An IFC-IDC committee was formed to discuss problems that arise between our two residen groups with its main duty u clear up the misconceptions be tween the two that have bn'4 been injurous to our campus. (12) The installation of Carrier Current in both dormitory and fraternity areas a project tha' will offer the students their nvn private radio station and go a long way in improving the vast communication problem amons the students. (To bt continued 'Oil, There ?tlighl He A SIixhl Gup in Some Arearr 1 Ed Ri ner Reporting Edward Neal Riner As eniollment ums. it se 'more dilli cuh c.kIi ear to plan activities on campus Avith a minimum of conllict. It is to he ex pected onsideiins the number of specialized activity and orsaniations as Interdoi mitory Council, fraternity chapter meet ins and professional ineetinss and the numhei of campus-wide 01 almost 1 ainpus-w ide events as conceits, plavs and L tines. An all campus leaving hoard or reserva tions desk would help orsaniations in plan niiiS mectiii-s. Meetings lould he scheduled on nishts with the least number of conflicts, theieby. elimination possibilities of an over loaded Monday nisht or a quiet Tuesday nisht. Instead ol Itsivins to 0 to several re set vat ions offices scattered all over campus, an orsaniation could (heck ;vt one place to found out what is scheduled each nisht and what huildinss or nishts are still open. As it is now, one must cheek with South Building concernins use of Memorial Hall and Gerrard Hall, and one must so to Gra h; rn Memorial to know what is scheduled there. The all campus learins board would eliminate some confusion. The student union would prohably be the best place lor such a board. CM could keep a lile on schedules of meetinss, on huildinss or rooms open for meetinss and on charges and rules lor using the huildinss. In addition to this administration service, such a board could give individual students in lotmation on each day's activites as planned around campus, whether private meetings or public events. Then to make the scheduling of the ( ler.r ing board known in general, an activity bul letin board could be place in Craham Me morial, the Y and Lenoir Hall. More accur ate campus ( 'endars could he mule bv working with the dealing board. Also, a tvpc of check list could be pub lished in I he Daily Tar Heel to infoim the campus, of each d.iv's ev ents. This could be an expanded "CM Slate." However, to work lor the benefit to or ganizations as well as students, everv organ ization would have to consult the dealing board belore planning a program. Suc h a clearing board would be an asset to the campus. And eavh organization havin less than a lull house due to heavy conflicts would appreciate this service as would the student who misses a program because he was not aware of its meeting time. Questions are still arising about the .pro posed new student union. Still questionable is the location of die building. The general view, which no one will certify, is that the building will be on Kmerson Field. The baseball stadium would be located else where. This site is reasonahe in that it is near the (enter of the present campus. It would be surrounded by both the men's dorms and classroom buildings. Another question concerns -the architec ture of the new building. Although there has been some talk of contemporary design, it will probably be Ceoigian to conform with other buildings. As in hte case of location, administration has not committed itself. The case for Georgian is strong, but there ".e some arguments for contemporary also. First, modern design is more functional. Second, if Fmerson' Field is used, the proposed student unicn would be hidden by other buildings; therefore, a contemporary building would not break the character of the Univoisiiv as seen from Franklin Street or Polk Place. Academic Freedom Thai Elliott Whenever academic freedom is mentioned in Chapel Hill, we inadvertently think of the pro fessors and their freedom or lack of freedom to express their ideas in their lectures with out restraint. This freedom, of course, is essential, but here in Gottingen. this definition has been expanded to include the studenls. When the term is mentioned here one thinks immediately at the students, although no real problems exist for either the professors or students. Concern ing the academic life or program of the student coming to Gottin gen and wishing to work toward a . degree in a particular field, takes basically required courses in this field along with manv electives which can be freely without the hidden clause, i.e. (free electives 2 being in Golt 72, 73, or 74). Of course a college program should promote the development of well rounded students, but it should also be flexible enough that the students can include courses of interest outside of their major field, in their cir nculums. There is no problem of allied and non-allied courses, and one needn't worry about hav ing enough hours to advance to the next class, since there aren't any. There are, however a required number of semesters that one must have before taking the fin al exams, for a diploma. At the beginning of each semester, one can attend any lecture for al most a month before registering. This gives the students ample time to consider which courses they wish to take and thus elim inates the necessity at "Drop Add". No "cut system" exists, since the attendance at lectures is accepted as being a discre tionary matter of the student Exams and grades, as we know them, don't exist. The previously mentioned final exams the pres sure put upon the students is considerably decreased. Grades aren't such a worry and they don't neccesitate avoiding and dropping particular courses to keep the grade average up. In this article, along with at tempting to give a brief picture of academic study at Gottingen and comparing it to Carolina, I quite obviously seemed in favor of some of these but taking the two academic systems as a whole. I find them both very different, nevertheless with debatable ad vantages and disadvantages. Tak ing exams again I'd certainly argue that this pressure on stu dents has many positive effects. Both Carolina and Gottingen students enjoy many advantages which others do not and I be lieve it fiesable that some of these advantages could be inco operated into the systems at the respective universities.

We are more than sine that Khrushchev ran go into any eating es tablishment in Canboro and receive prompt and courteous service. And at the same time, our next door neighbors in the same com munity, but of a dillcrent color, must seek the service to which they are entitled, else where. Legally, the owners of these business es may have every right in the world to serve whomsoever they please, lint, morallv, thev are o.i weak ground. It is indeed true that this is a govern ment of I ws, and the laws are to be respect ed. ru; s ;metimes there is a higher law th in one in the statues book, say a law of common decency. I o this law ol common deccnev we now appeal. We hope that Canboro merchants will awaken to the futility of their bigoted actions and extend seivice to one and all.' Give Them A Hand There aie.a handful of Xegro students regularly enrolled here at the Cniveisity of Xorth Carolina who arc being denied serv ice in certain establishments here in Chapel Hill. Included among these businesses are several eating places and at least one of the movie theaters. Yet. we see no great ck.:noi on the part of white students here in Chapel Hill to support their FELLOW ST IT) FX TS in their el forts to obtain service in these es tablishments. Indeed, we note a frightening paucity of any interest in their welfare. Xeither of the two campus political parties is willing to go out on a limb for their FFLLOW SI LDLXTS. Only the Student Legislature has taken ac tion, passing a resol ution asking the merchants of Chapel Hill to extend equal privileges to all students. We are also completely dissatisfied with the reaction of the Merchant's Association, which has been giving students the run around on this question for some time. Al ways postponing action or being evasive as to its intent on this issue, it is time for the squeeze to be put on that organization. SUPPORT VOIR FFLLOW STl' DFXTS in their fight for equality.
