Academic Affairs Discussion then turned to Negro high schools in North Carolina and their exclusion from the academic affairs program of the university. Dansby said that in the past the Office of Admissions has neglect ed to include Negro high schools in the program which involves sending handbooks and other ma terials to North Carolina schools. It was also brought out that the University Housing Office although it has eliminated the race section from on campus housing request cards, still persists in acting as the agent for segregated off-campus housing. Dansby said that again negotia tions would be pursued, but if they failed, he would advocate gettin a court injunction to force integra tion, lie said that this could be done on the grounds that a state organization was assisting segre gated housing. A report said that the NAACP's efforts to integrate the ten segre gated eating places in Chapel Hill had been, on tile whole, successful Dansby said that they would not know the exact extent of the co- operation of the restaurant own- ers on this issue until after Christ mas. - - Photo by Jim Wallace ed by the International Students Board.

Mariner Will Orbit Sun Permanently WASHINGTON (UPI) Mariner 2 sailed steadily into a never-ending orbit of the sun Saturday still send ing back scientific data about the mysteries of deep space. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) said that at 11 a.m. EST, the 447-pound spacecraft had gone 253-836 miles past its rendezvous point of Friday with the mystery planet Venus.

The award is given in recognition of distinguished service and contri butions to the University stu dents, outstanding merit in the art of lecturing, and the stimul ation of academic interest. The Class Scholarship Committee con tacted about 75 of the Junior Class in order to ascertain each individual's three preferences for Teacher of the Month. On the basis of this poll future awards will also be made. Dr. Bernard Boyd, James A. Gray Professor of Biblical Litera ture and past chairman . of the Department of Religion, was selec ted by the Junior Class as Teach er of the Month for December. Regarding his outlook on teach ing, Dr. Boyd stated, "Our duty (as teachers) is to challenge stu dents to the best of which they are capable." In presenting this challenge, however, he feels that certain things must be done by the teacher other than spouting forth facts. He attempts to estab lish a rapport with his classes and with individual students. He cherishes not only his class-! ZPjTffilttS By VANCE BARRON JR. Three fraternities were found "not guilty" by the IFC court Thursday night on the charge that their floats in the "Beat Dook" parade were "damaging to the mutual interest of fraternities." Eight fraternities, who had pre viously been criticized for their "objectionable" floats by letters of censure from the Office of Stu dent Affairs, were summoned be fore the court as a result of the parade and "the ensuing publicity which was derogatory to fraterni ties here at Carolina and to fra ternities in general," according to a statement by IFC president Jim Dillashaw, and president of the IFC court, Dave Underwood. The three fraternities which were acquitted by the court are Delta Upsilon, Lambda Chi Alpha, and Phi Kappa Sigma. The remaining five were found guilty and receiv ed an "appropriate punishment," presumably a fine. The court did not release information concerning the basis on which any fraternity was convicted or acquitted. State-Wide Comment The issue arose when several fraternities sponsored floats in the "Beat Dook" parade that were criticized as being in bad taste. As a result, the University receiv ed much unfavorable comment across the state. The Office of Student Affairs sent official let ters of censure to eight fraterni ties and one dormitory, singling them out for condemnation. , . Several .members of normally L constituted IFC court were mem bers of some of the fraternities involved, including chairman Dave Underwood. In order to try the cases; five ' new members were temporarily, appointed by Dilla shaw. Charlie Battle, vice-president of the IFC, was appointed chairman as the "ranking mem ber" of the executive committee. No Administrative Pressure Dillashaw and Underwood yes terday issued a statement about the court's action saying that, "it should be emphasized that these cases were tried not in response to administrative action, but rather as a matter of principle that be ing the over-all welfare of fra ternities." The statement went on to say that the IFC felt that the atmos phere of this year's "Beat Dook" parade was the result of a "grow ing trend over the past few years." The purpose of the IFC in trying cases was to show that "students are willing to handle these of fenses." The IFC was particularly con cerned about the adverse publicity that arose concerning the issue 'Teacher room contacts, but also the friend ships established and the academ ic stimulation provided through conferences in his office and visits at his home. TV Not As Effective Although Dr. Boyd teaches quite extensively through the medium- of television, he feels that his TVI work is not as effective as a real lecture because he is unable to judge the reaction of the viewers, i He also finds TV teaching difficult ! because of the lack of personal j contact. At the same time he is ; encouraged by the response many of his programs receive. Through his contacts with stu dents at the University, Dr. Boyd thinks that perhaps the taxhnary student is more concerned with pffw w3Ho ,a u -oC tr, ,-oo,-c- tt ,-.,:, w ' there is a wonderful idealism in; each student on this campus which could accomplish endless things if properly motivated. Dr. ".Boyd strives to provide this motivation. In order to do this, he states that a "professor has. to keep growls; or he will die." To keep grow ing, he must keep up with the times and especially with new con cepts and discoveries in his field By doing this he can pass on his 6TTT) CD CD). and said that the cases were tried as a result of this as well as the fact that the floats were objection able. i The statement concluded by say ing that "it is believed by the court that students in general are cap able of reaching a mature and inr.li , sTy tsji j jy'f$r-, I A passer-by . . . but the Special Session Of Legislature Slated The Student Legislature will hold a special session tomorrow night at 7:30 at the request of the Stu dent Party. A petition calling for the special meeting was circulat- ed by Party Chairman Robin Britt and was signed by 14 SP members and one UP member. Britt said that he felt the spe cial session was necessary so that the group could consider the pur chase of a student bus. He said that any of a number of other bills, including the Yack appropriation bill, might be considered. Named By Juniors Of Month' Series enthusiasm to his students. Thus, much of Dr. Boyd's time is spent in keeping up with the latest de velopments pertaining to religion. At Dresent. he is interested in the recent archaeological findings which throw new. light on the Bible and religious background. j When asked about the Univer- sity's system of tenure, Dr. Boyd replied that tenure was necessary and good as long as protessors recognize their moral obligation to keep digging in, doing scholarly work, and being constantly con cerned with nnproving their ettec tiveness.

Most letters noted that the magazine should continue to pub lish in an effort to achieve its full potential as a humor, satire and general interest magazine. Dr. Boyd stated that it is in the best interests of. this institu tion to send out Carolina's more gifted prospective teachers to other schools, and to bring here the best talent available from schools in other parts of the coun- try. In following this policy, he said that there can be a greater exchange of new educational con- cepts. Dr. Boyd does not approve of the system of graders because the student has the right to feel that the man who teaches him should grade his paper. However, due to i the numbers of students, he de- j scribed the system as a neces- sity.

Included in Tuesday's issue, which is printed in green ink, is a humorous account of a war cor respondent's experiences with Chi nese prisoners of war in Korea. The story, entitled "The Dai Baio's Private War," was written by Law rence Jacobs, a Korean war veter an who graduated from Carolina last year. In addition there are three short stories, a full page cartoon by Ray Chatham, three satirical pieces and a critical review by Joe Williman of three best-selling war novels. 1 Of special interest, Robinson said, is a clever article by the well-known Barbara Simon in which she explains how it is pos sible to choose dates or a spouse according to the kinds of food he or she orders in a restaurant.

Al Lowenstein Cites Growth In The South Al Lowenstein keynoted the Fall Regional Conference of the Na tional Student Association Friday night with a speech on Southern students problems and responsibil ity to the region, the nation and the world. Lowenstein a UNC graduate, spoke on the growth of the NSA since its founding sixteen years ago, and of its increasing signifi cance in world affairs. The associ ation, said Lowenstein, has met more and more problems and re sponsibilities as member colleges and universities have continued to expand since World War II. Discussion groups, seminars, and a final plenary session were held Saturday to discuss Southern school participation in NSA. At the final plenary session of the conference, Harry DeLung, UNC NSA Co-ordinator was elected to represent the Carolina-Virginia Region of twenty-nine schools at the National Executive Commit tee meeting in December. The group passed a resolution in favor of having a newsletter for all the members telling of the members' activities. DeLung also gave a speech at the plenary about the ways in wmcn scnools m this region can get the most use out of their member ship in the association, and how they can best voice their opinions. "A great deal of progress made in educational circles," said Low enstein, "has been made by the National Student Association." The reason for this, he said, is that NSA, as student group in a col lege controlled by students, facul ties, and. administrators, is the on ly group that can . view problems irom the student's position. The speaker nointed out the ereat change in the attitudes of south ern students, especially in human rights, and how JVSA has heJped to bring about this change. ASA has brought to campuses all over the nation a cross-secticn of at titudes and opinions which are mvajuaoJe to students who are be coming more and more specializ ed in Lieir formal education. Lowenstein referred specifical ly to technical schools, like State College where he is now teaching, as examples of institutions which have benefited from XSA's broad range of student involvement in worid aifairs. Need For Reconciliation Saturday morning, .Mike Lawler, Vice-president of the UNC Stu dent Body, spoke on NSA's relation to the Southern University Student Government Association. He point ed out the differences between NSA and SUSGA, which is an or ganization of schools which with drew from NSA several years ago. Lawler stressed the m-ed for a reconciliation between the two groups. He said NSA representa tives have been trying to give SUSGA officials a broader view point in some of the deep-south schools. Duke Marston, the Regional Chairman of NSA from Duke Uni versity, led a morning discussion on the role of NSA in the South. The afternoon sessions of the conference included a discussion of three topics of current interect, which have concerned schools in the Carolina-Virginia Region. Hen ry Mayer of UNC spoke on "Non violence", Mike Putzel of UNC on "National student political and Ac tion Groups", and Helen Putzel of Hollins spoke on "Federal Aid to Education". Mike Putzel described the man ner in which some student political and action groups have used a basically democratic means of elf-government, but have dele gated so much authority to their national leaders that the campus chapters have actually lot their own rights of deviation from na tional policy. Helen Putzel tpoke about sever al of the reasons why the Federal Aid to Education failed and how the National Student Association has taken a stand favoring the plan. She said that religious and ad ministrative factors were major issues in the bill's failure, but that there have actually been many kinds cf federal aid to our school systems and that another bill sim ilar to the one which failed two years ago is likely to come . be fore Congress again this year.
