The contest was open to the en tire student body, and essays were judged by University pro fessors. Eds.) By FRED R. ANDERSON, JR. No function in the long run is more vital to a university than its unrelenting efforts to rephrase its concept of itself and the goals toward which this concept is oriented. Hence, the problem of the university and its meaning is a constant one, for which every attempt to impart knowledge and to be the artisan for the mind of man, the university risks its cre dentials to this end and conse quently its very life. The meaning of the university might very well have several in terpretations, or facets, any one of which could be the subject of an extended discussion. I want to call to mind several of these possible meanings of "meaning" which seem to merit careful examination in the light of today's modern uni versity. When we ask what the Promoted from assistant profes sor to associate professor are: Ste phen B. Baxter, History Depart ment; James P. Collman, Chemis try; Richard L. Frautschi, Roi mance Languages; Dell B. Johan nesen, Business Administration; Fred H. Macintosh, James B. Meri wether and Daniel W. Patterson, all of the Department of English; W. D. Strickland and T. B. Sluder, School of Dentistry; and Janis'H. David, Cleone H. Hill and Pauline McCaskill of the School of Nurs ing. Promoted from associatet pro fessor to professor are: Clyde Lowell Ball and Roddy Miller Ligon, Institute of Government; Campus Briefs ciety would like to hear from any students who will be in summer school and are interested in work ing with the Society in presenting a summer program of film clas sics.

The purpose of the meeting is to hear sugges tions for next year. Intermural Interview Jhe' Intermural Department will hold interviews this week for dorm itory intermural managers for next year. The managers will be paid $171.50- a year from money appro priated last week by the student SENIOR Hie University And. university is and what does it mean, we might easily be asking for a definition, which in the case of the university is bound up in its history. On the other hand we might possibly be asking for the ac complishments of the university J that is, what ends is it fulfilling now. Another approach to the question would lead us to an evaluation of these ends, or to the proposal of better objectives, that is, what ends the university ought to fulfill. These four problems should provide more than enough serious fare for this paper. Immediately one wants to know what the author of the discussion is for and what he is against what he is proposing and attacking, what are his answers. During the course of the recent symposium it was a source of considerable irri tation to many individuals that Dr. Crane Brinton neither set up clear, simple categories nor took a value-freighted, speculative stand on the revolutions he discussed. My purpose, then, to avoid being put in the same humble category with Dr. Brinston, is, as one can clear ly see, to discuss what .the uni versity ought to be, after first try John Douglas ..

CLASS ESSAY CONTEST WINNER ing to find out what it is and where it stands. I will of course have to conclude with a consideration of the practical worth of these sug gestions. Having cleared my conscience of the lessons and rigors of first year composition which demands a forthright simple statement of ob jective, I shall immediately plunge back into the murky depths of the twelfth century, from which I hope to emerge triumphant with the very first definition of the mod ern university. Since all good things come from the southland, we might well probe the medieval Mediterranean shore of Europe, particularly the intel lectual nerve centers of Bologna, Salerno, and Montpellier, expect ing to expose historical sensitivity. Unable, however, to find any thing substantial and satisfactory we are forced to admit northern Paris and Oxford to our collection before we come up with this rea sonably simple definition: a uni versity is a society of masters and students, universitas societas ma gistrorum" discipulorumque. To gether, according to Charles Homer Raskins, they sought learn ing that that simple age of faith. Notice that I was seeking the GM Chairman Curtis Makes Summer Plans r Don Curtis has been appointed summer chairman of the Graham Memorial Activities Board and has already ' planned several activities for the summer students. There will be a combo party the first Friday night of the first ses sion to welcome the summer group imd another for the second session. Ten free, flicks are on tap, be ginning the first Thursday and last ing until the Week before each ses sion is over. Five informal band concerts are scheduled with all but one to be held on the GM lawn. The one exception will be at Emerson Field on the Fourth of July when UNC students and the Chapel Hill com munity, will hold a joint independ ence celebration to be concluded by a fireworks display. The YWCA will sponsor a sum mer film festival featuring popu lar French, British,, and American film classics such as the original ''Hunchback of 'Notre Dame.' Films will be shown every Monday evening; beginning June 11. A foreign student will visit the campus this summer as part of the YMCA's "experiment . in interna tional living." The Y also plans several lectures to be immediately followed by a group discussion. Exam Corrections IMPORTANT The Exam Schedule which has run for the past two days had several errors.

Its first definition of the MODERN university, for group learning did go on before the twelfth century, for example, on the porches and in the gardens and groves of the Ancient world; however, only with these societies of the Middle Ages did the pursuit of knowledge as we know it take shape. In the first universities the first degree was granted, the licentia docendi, or license to teach and the bare pro totypes of dormitories, student life, and letters home for money began to appear. It seems, then, without too much trouble we have acquired a defini tion for the modern university. Apparently the only thing lacking in our definition is a rapid check to make sure that it still applies to the "modern" university today. In Europe one finds no serious altera tions in this medieval definition, save for the more sophisticated clauses seven hundred years of uni versity life have added to it. In the course of these centuries universities- have been reasonably true to their charge of self-criticism and revaluation. Of course the trivium and quad rivium of the Middle Ages have given way to the more numerous and consequently compartmental enoir By HUBERT HAWKINS Cash payment to student em ployees at Lenoir Hall is one of a number of approaching changes to improve working conditions, according to J.

But as recently as the great Cardinal Newman, who wrote most of his "The Idea of a University" in mid nineteenth century England, the unity of knowledge has been reaf firmed not only in medieval but in ancient terms as well. His con temporary popularity only attests to the continuity of the tradition of the modern university. To ascertain whether the con tinuity of the modern university reaches down to contemporary America, which is the same as verifying our definition for the recent American university, I take recourse to an event which hap pened this past fall on the campus of an essentially typical modern American, state-owned university. The occasion was a visit by the powerful temporal prince of the realm, largely at the behest of his vassel-in-chief for the region, an event only dimly conceivable in the Paris of 1200. Students in this university from all parts of the country were gathered, as did stu dents from all parts of Europe at Bologna, Montpellier, Paris, and Oxford. Some of them were sing ing "Gaudeamus igitur iuvenes dum Al aeacn Mall w The Business Office is conduct ing a study-ftf the employment sit uation to correct discontent which student workers have expressed. The Personnel Office and other experienced University personnel will complete their study and take action before next fall.

Regarding overtime require- rich odors of tree and grass and flower, of the opulent and seduc tive South; and he felt a delicious sadness when he thought of his departure, and saw there in the moon the thousand phantom shapes of the boys he had known who would come no more." Look Homeward Angel. These were the thoughts of Thomas Wolfe about his own grad uation from Carolina, and here as always, his genius put into words the things we feel. "Delicious sad ness" expresses the paradox of wanting and not wanting to leave Chapel Hill, the awareness of a new freedom gained at the loss of an old security. The years after we leave the university will change it as much as they will change us, so that the classes of 1972 and '82 will gradu ate from a very different school. But there are some ways in which we think and hope it will remain the same. We hope that even under the strain of increasing en rollment Carolina will preserve the personal warmth of the small school atmosphere it has today. We hope that the student body and the administration will continue to function with mutual respect, and that our faculty will always be one whose first interest is not what they teach but whom they teach. There are other ways in which the university should and will will change. Better housing and adequate social facilities may hopefully be expected to replace the cramped, transitional period of our four years. The competition for admission ought to accelerate the gentle intellectual pace too many of us were accustomed to. These are the developments the rest of you will be involved in and we wiU watch for as alumni. No one can doubt there is a great deal to be done by and for the university in the next few years. We graduate from Carolina grate ful for our time here, proud of whatever we did, sorry that it was not more, and taking a treas ured part of it with us as we go. THE SENIOR CLASS o o o sumus" as did the medieval stu dents at the time they wrote the song. Across the way a bell tower was visible, one capable of tolling the Medieval matins, I'm sure. Some of the students having par taken of a spirit older than that of the university itself, were taking the advice of the lyrics above, and like the medieval student who wrote: "In the public house to die is my resolution; let wine to my lips be night at life's dissolution," were applauding youth while it was upon them with due irrever ence for the grim finality of life, a favorite pastime of students of all ages. Presently, the robed mas ters began to make their way to the center in a solemn procession entirely befitting an academic oc casion of twelfth century Paris, for the gown is unmistakably a me dieval creation, and, if the French have preserved their national character, we may speculate that it too, came from Paris. At this point I should be content to drop the parallel and consider the matter closed; however, the masters did not stop coming out (Continued on page 5) orkers ments of students to serve in the Senior Banquet, Branch said that some employees were perhaps not made aware of that responsibility in their contact. But he proposed that the management make this extra work optional and secure outside help. "We want " to know" the things bothering the employees," Branch asserted, "and do everything we can to make conditions so attract ive that students will want to work there." Carr Neiv Soph Of George Watts Carr, III, has been named Sophomore of the Month for May by the Sophomore Class Cabi net, ihe class expects to continue honoring outstanding class mem bers next fall. Carr was president of his class as a freshman, and a member of the Student Council. He is now vice-president of Alpha Tan Omega social fraternity, secretary of the Germans Club, a member of the University Party and the YMCA. Carr has a double major in In dustrial Relations and Psychology and has a 2.5 scholastic average.
