Two Rules We Could Do Better Without
u
For the most part the administra
tion of the University of North Caro
lina conducts itself with remarkable
self-control, liberalism, and sensi
tivity to the degree' to which college
students are able to handle them
selves. The administration takes a kindly,
paternalistic view toward student
cavorting and reserves the right of
censureship largely for student
courts. Rarely are members of the
higher echelons of the administration
to be found dabbling in student af
fairs; trusting in the ability of young
men -: and women to conduct them
selves' with reasonable maturity and
restraint, they leave students to con
trol their own affairs.
Sometimes the student body places
this trust in jeopardy; sometimes it
exceeds the degree of maturity ex
pected r often it proves itself worthy
of as much trust is offered and no
more. T -
And, sometimes, the administra
tion places students in the position of
wondering just to what extent this
trust is given. , :';
There are two rules which deny, at
least in part,4 this 'trust's existence.
They have been in the rule books for
many years, and in all probability will
remain r in such " bondage for many
more.1 We would like to see them
eradicated and forgotten. " : '
The first of these rules can be
found oil page' thirty-five of the Wom
an's Handbook j Section I, Part E,
Number 2 of Coed - Regulations : - -Women
students may visit in
men's apartments ONLY 'ifHwo
(2) couples at a minimum "are
present.
This rule makes a number of pre
suppositions which 'we find i well
worth examining:
1 ' That every male is out for the
same' thing.
That every female, if placed in
conducive surroundings, is not
only coercable but ' willing.
- That an' apartment, house or
private room is essentially con-
ceived in "sin;
That, despite its laissez-faire
attitude in other ' matters, the
University must cassume a moth
erly' approach to a coed's social
and love7lives. tr ; -These
'suppositions are valid for
particular individuals ; they are in
valid generalizations 'when applied to
the whole. We would like to assume
that a twenty-one year old man with
a responsible attitude toward the op
posite sex would ' treat it with proper
respect. This does not include boarcl
inghouserape. ; ' !
We 'also would like to think that a
majority of 4he University's coeds
have some 'degree of sophistication
which would lead them to know how
to behave themselves when placed in
a situation of privacy with a male.
Ail-apartment isnot a place of sin,
Hedonism or ribaldry. A majority of
male students living in apartments,
rooms or ; private houses have done
so to attain privacy quiet or freedom.
Few have' paid rent '-with rape in
mind. There are, of course; exceptions.
The University is -no -One's mother
(though' some -"professional students"
s'aemtb -have fallen" prey stowhat
might 'be i called sari "Oedipiis Com
plex") . h The"! University's . rresponsi
fiiility is 'to direct the: academic; lives
of its students and to keep them from
harm's way. If it relinquiches the
power of student government, it must
relinquish the power of denial. ' -
The second undesirable rule at
tains its' undesirability as a result of
its duplicity and ineffectiveness. It is
stated in the University catalogue, to
the general intention that there shall
be no drinking by Carolina students.
This is a little, bit like saying that
there ishall be ho Communists in Rus
sia: it is apt to be ignored. And be
cause it is not only ignored but its
infraction is condoned openly by the
administration, it is a disgrace not so
much upon the students as upon the
University itself.
To openly place drinking among
the list of illegal actions and then to
admit within the confines of the Uni
versity that the rule is there to satis
fy the mid-Victorian appetites of the
trustees and some parents is bla
tantly hypocritical. ' '
This sounds like a police depart
ment forbidding rape, and then in
forming local citizens that, really, it
is "okay," if kept quiet.
We are asking for honesty in deal
ing with this; problem, ' and honesty
requires one of two alternatives:
drinking will be forbidden, and the
rule will be totally enforced with
suspension as the penalty, or drink
ing will be accepted, realistically,' as
an inevitable facet of college life and
ignored. r r
Drinking is not a sin; it is an un
avoidable fact of life which might
better be treated maturely. ! To at
tempt to fool parents and trustees
into thinking that no drinking is al
lowed -here -is naive and dishonest.
It is to be hoped that parents and
trustees do-not want to be fooled.
This streak of nineteenth century
fundamentalism is a disgrace to the
University and the student body. To
keep such a rule in the University's
books only heightens the disgrace.
If the administratioan of the Uni
versity of North Carolina trusts,
under the provisions of the Honor
System,-' students to refrain from
cheating, lying and stealing; if it also
trusts them, under the Campus Code,
to behave themselves as ladies and
gentlemen if both of these "ifs" are
tru.y then the following would seem
natural: '
The University would have the
trust to believe that a male inviting
a girl1 to his apartment would treat
her like a lady, and that she would
curtail her latent desires.
The University would acknowledge
the fact that students drink, some to
excess, and would only, within the
framework of the Campus Code, at
tempt to keep alcohol off the campus
and to control those who are under
its influence. -
Another point of some significance:
both rules are violated with increas
ing regularity. If the University wants
them to stick, why not post guards at
all drinking spots to check I.D. cards;
and why not have a floating patrol to
check all stag apartments that
would be right in line with the char
acter of the rule.
Let's pull this University up to date,
out Of Prince Albert's bed-chamber;
and let's see a little of this flaunted
"liberalism."
' 'Our ruffled shirts are showing.
Pay Raises
"Complete absorption in the
techniques -of existence is a
botchery of time," said the late
Dr. Frederich Creighton Well
man in. his autobiography, "I-ife
Is Too Short." This . is a dis
turbingly realistic -thought.
"The progressive industrial
giants of our country are in
creasing substantially their in
vestments in basic research, and
this industrial research can
only be done by the trained
scholar and scientist," said UNC
President William Friday in his
speech to the Advisory Budget
Commission last Wednesday.
"These are the same people we
seek as faculty members,"
President Friday added, "and
this competition is keen." This,
too, is a disturbing fact.
: The idea of : giant industries
plowing millions of dollars-into
research while the nation's uni
versities try and, lure the same
researchers into professional
jobs is wearying: money l and
research scientists and profes
sors and facts and scientific. de
velopment and more money. It's
confusing. Indeed, all this even
seems to be the. sort of botchery
of time Dr. Wellman was. think
ing of: everybody in va stew
over money and men and what
to do with them and how! to be
better than the next institution
by getting more money and
more men. v - -
But those who subscribe to
Dr. Wellman's serene philosophy
these days are probably destin
ed to become backwater people,
and the University cannot af
ford to let itself slide into a
state of sluggish backwaterhood.
- The University produces ed
ucated men. These men use their
educations to forward the ac
tivities and development ' of
science and society. As science
and society grow and develop,
the University must also grow
and develop. A university must
keep pace with the world its
progeny create.
Sadly similar to "complete
absorption in the techniques of
existence" as the University's
competition for good teachers
seems, such absorption is im
perative. Of a total $4,192,594 request
ed for the expansion of current
University operations, $1,440,
400 is earmarked for faculty
salary increases. The increase
should be granted.
"The professor comes first,"
said President Friday, and right
ly so. Good students are im
portant, but since education is
more a matter of developing po
tential than inserting excellence,
good students are little better
than average students when
taught by average teachers.
, And only average teachers
can be brought to the Univer
sity with average salaries.

On Coec( Hypoc risy
Generalities have loopholes, but it is not
an overstatement to say that the majority
of UNC coeds are repugnant hypocrites.
Hypocrite derived from the Greek is
"one who plays a part on the stage." This
campus is the ."stage" for the coed's role
to be played to perfection. The setting is
a girl's Utopia: four males to every coed.
Most coeds are not naturally hypocriti
cal when they come here. It is a role they
assume in a short period of time. This is
quite obvious to see because girls at
Women's College, Meridith, St. Mary's, and
East Carolina don't have the obnoxious
traits so common to our devious coeds.
Most female graduate students, if they
weren't undergraduates here, show less
signs of deceit than do younger coeds.
There seems to be a direct correlation be
tween sickening gooey-sweet-talk of the
most vacuous "nature (the words oozeK and
the gossip clubs that some people call so
cial sororities. I would venture to guess
that part of the ' reason that coeds are de
void i of sincerity is due to the psycho
logical effects of the University's beauty
combined with the relatively captive male
population. Both serve to stimulate our
coeds; to put on the almost inevitible mas
querade. -
.' As 1 the affectedly modest coed saunters
along there is a certain gaiety to her step,
reminiscent of the precocious 10 year old
on her way to a party. Certainly parties
and masquerades go well together. "Ah
gee o me, a masquerade party J Who said
that? Not me, cooed'-the' coed." No, girl,
not you! You're not capable of telling the
truth. .
At the masquerade party we play games
according to rules that should not be vio
lated. iThere is no referee except a player's
conscience, but let's not let a little thing
like that stand in our way. Obey the rules
of the game. (First prize goes to the girl
with the best, line.) Don't spoil the fun!
"I just enjoyed it so much, George. It
was just devine." : :
"Can we get together next Friday night?"
"Well . . . . I don't know just now, what
with exams and everything. Call me
Wednesday. Well .... Goo' night, it was
simply devine." '.
The truth is she didn't enjoy herself
at all. (Two minutes later to roommate:
"He was the most horrible date ever, and
if I . . . ." However, George is going to
call on Wednesday, but he is the "date
insurance" in case Tom who frequents The
Ranch House and drives a 1960 light blue
convertible neglects to call.
It is a slow process, but George will
learn, and by the time he is a senior, , he
will become part of a hard core of cynics.
Some men students choose to play the
game; with experience the challenge is
met, as they degrade themselves to use the
same tactics.
You believe him your dupe; but if
he is pretending to be so, who is the
greater dupe, he or you?
La Bruyere
Even though the majority of UNC coeds
are hypocrites, that is not to say they
usually resort to barefaced lies. They are
intelligent enough to be subtle. Of course
they were intelligent to transfer from an
all girls school, (nursing students and den
tal hygiene majors didn't waste time)
where they developed and polished the art
of subtly in preparation for "the party."
It takes the form of McCarthyisms, half
truths, as well as exaggeration of the sim
plest events. Excessive use of purfume and
scented powders, by coeds, befuddle the
men around them. This strikes me as hu
morous, yet with all that coeds do, it is
what they don't do that is most important:
Their cruellest lies are often told in silence.
For a coed to be truthful with herself
and the opposite gender, she must have
genuine self-respect and self-confidence,
else there would be no need for her per
sonality facade. Vanity is swept away when
not supported by a "counterfeit present
ment." I find it almost a privilege to melt
a girl who is conceited because of what
she is, rather than what she pretends to be.
