Founded Feb. 23, 1893 CHAPEL HILL, NORTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY. MAY 13, 1964 United Press International Service LAWLER LOOKS BACK Editor's Note: The following article by DTII Student Government reporter John Greenbacker is the first in a series of three on former Student Body President Mike Lawler's observations on the Univer sity and the people, both individuals and groups, who make it what H Is. By JOHN GREENBACKER "The President must clearly lead and represent the students, and next year, the emphasis must be on leading, or else the students Will not be represented." The quote appeared in big black letters on the side of the election poster, and to the left was the smiling face of Mike Lawler. The poster is old now, but it forms a vital part of the history, memories and life of the former Student Body president and Stu dent Government. Whether over iced coffee or cognac, casual or serious, Mike can speak with more authority on the past year and the old ad ministration than any single person in Student Government. Re cently, in the comfort of his small living room, he did, and his reflections were varied. Men's Residence Halls "Basically, we couldn't make Stacy Hall into a Statler Hilton, fcut we were able to persuade the Administration to make some improvements. . "We tried to gear our program for the individual student. If cur pilot projects are successful, the University will give us more funds to carry out environmental changes. "In tryin? to handle the social problem, we attempted to Ret the Consolidated University Student Council to work in setting up coed receptions where there would be more likelihood of meeting people on an equal level. We're still trying- "The MRC is still working on this, and eventually it hopes to be able to set up a system where girls won't be brought over here and then dumped somewhere on campus. If they can solve the social problems, the rest will be easy." Fraternities "Several charges were made in the IFC Court and its proce dures. I would like to see a more efficient system of lower courts $stablished. "We gave particular attention, tothe.. bull pledge , ruling, .and H plan to alleviate the parking problem in Big Frat Court by using the Acklandilot worked well on a trial basis. I hope it will be Continued. "Fraternities on campus today aren't prospering, and I think much of their problem lies in satisfied mediocrity. They have a great leadership and academic potential which they aren't living izp to. "The fraternities should increase their discipline and re-evaluate fheir ideals. The University should dictate policy to them, but they must learn to complement the over-all goals of the University." Sororities "Sororities are my biggest gripe. They are the most qualified clement in the University. In terms of academics they fill this potential, but in terms of its cultural and true intellectual aspects they fall way short. "Some people descrfte the sorority-fraternity system as a mutual satisfaction society, not an admiration society, and un fortunately this is largely true. "Sororities have produced a few outstanding individuals, but this is far from what they could produce." Student Government "The real tradition of student responsibility began to be lost about six years ago, and I tried to revive this responsibility during my year in office. "The late 1950's saw the advent of the "Participative" philo sophy. It was characterized by a lack of ideology and perspective, and soon Student Government existed to justify the needs of the people in it rather than to justify itself. "The best example of this is the history of the campus judiciary Since 1959. In that year, some Student Government officials recog nized the pressing need to codify the Honor Codes and student court procedures.. Nothing was done. Today, after the Ann Carter Case, everybody's in an uproar and B noe knows why something wasn't done about codification sooner. During the past year I tried to eliminate this vacuum by appointing to office people who would pay open attention to the larger goals of Student Government, Tomorrow: Student Government Crises of 1963-64. t - i r a 1 1 -" aafiTI Mike Latder-It 7 Photo by Jim Wallace.

PRESIDENT LYNDON JOHNSON, honorary national chairman of the John Fitzgerald Kennedy Library, examines one of the brochures for the North Carolina Tribute to President Kennedy which will be held in Kenan Stadium at 3 p.m. Sunday. With President Johnson is Governor Terry Sanford who will present Case: Senators Should Be, Asked About Baker Ties WASHINGTON (UPD Repub licans demanded Tuesday that the Senate Rules Committee try to find out the extent of business dealings all senators may have had with Robert G. (Bobby) Ba ker, former secretary to Senate Democrats. Sen. Clifford P. Case, (R-N.J.), appeared at a brief session of the committee to push his proposed questionnaire which would ask all members of the Senate for infor mation on their dealings with Baker and campaign assistance provided or offered by him. L. P. MtLendon, special com mittee counsel for the Baker case, said he felt that asking senators about offers of cam paign assistance exceeded the Rules Committee's investigative authority. Sen. Joseph S. Clark, (D-Pa.), questioned the right of the com mittee to ask the questions of any senator. Committee Chair man B. Everett Jordan, (D-N.C), told Case that if he has any charges to bring "against any senator" the Committee would investigate them. Case, his voice shaking with anger, virtually ignored his pre pared throe-page statement and told the Committee: "I will not be stopped. I will continue to try to get the facts." He said that only the pressure of publicity forced the Committee to let him testify in its lengthy investigation of the outside busi ness activities of Baker, who was reputed to have piled up a paper fortune of $2 million on his $19, 600 Senate salary. "Every member of the Senate has had his reputation, his good name, diminished by the Bobby Baker case," he said. "As an individual, I resent Bobby Bak er's ability to blacken me." Our So Idiers Poorly Eq u ipped? WASHINGTON (UPD A con gressional investigation shaped up Tuesday into charges that Americans fighting in Viet Nam are having to use obsolete equip ment, particularly airplanes. The House Armed Services Com mittee, headed by Rep. Carl Vin son, (D-Ga., already has asked the Pentagon for a full explana tion of recent incidents alleged ly involving equipment failure. Two members of the committee, Rep. Ed Forman, (R-Tex.), and Charles E. Chamberlain, (R Mich.), have formally demanded an inquiry if the facts warrant it.
