SHALL NOT And, it came to pass, Early in the morning toward the last day of the semester, There arose a great multitude smiting the books and wailing. And there was much weeping and gnashing of teeth, For the day of judgment was at hand. And they were sore afraid, for they had left undone Those things which they ought to have done, And they had done Those things which they ought not to have done And there was no help for it. And there were many abiding in the dorm Who had kept watch over their books by night, But it availed them naught. But some were who rose peacefully, For they had prepared themselves the way And made straight paths of knowledge. And these were known As wise burners of the midnight oil. And to others they were known as "curve raisers." And the multitude arose And ate a hearty breakfast. And they came unto the appointed place And their hearts were heavy within them. And they had come to pass, But some to pass out. And some of them Repented of their riotous living and bemoaned their fate, But they had not a prayer. And at the last hour there came among them One known as the instructor; and they feared exceed ingly. He was of the diabolical smile, And passed papers among them and went his way. And many and varied Were the answers that were given, For some of his teachings had fallen among fertile minds. While others had fallen flat. And some there were who wrote for one hour, Others for two; But some turned away sorrowful, and many of these Offered up a little bull In hopes of pacifying the instructor. And these were the ones who had not a prayer. And when they finished, They gathered up their belongings And went their way quietly, each in his own direction, And each one vowing unto himself in this manner; I shall not pass this way again."

The Polynesia is the small est of the fleet, and "the prettiest," Karen said. When asked why she took on such a job, she exclaim ed, "I just wanted to take out for the high seas." Upon boarding the Clipper for the first time, she was handed a bottle of ammonia, which meant only one thing to her. She described her first assignment as one of "scrubbing the deck and just tearing the whole thing down." Her reward came at night, that part of the day which was completely her own. "There's nothing more beau tiful than waking up at three o'clock in the morning un derneath the stars," she said.

Dr. E. M.

One girl shows her firend the bruised knee she got slip ping on the Old Wing stairs. Another complains that she is tired of taking showers and wishes that a bathtub were in stalled. These three situations have little relation, yet all three represent dormitory prob lems which many UNC coeds face. The problems arising in campus dormitories do not go unnoticed, however. The Resi dent Hall Improvement Com mittee within the executive branch of student government studies dorm problems and , tries to improve conditions in 1 the residence halls. The committee, composed of members representing ge ographical divisions of resi dence hall areas, reports the opinions of students in the dorms and makes recommen dations for improvements. Appropriations are made by the student government for social projects designed to improve social conditions in the residence halls. A recent bill introduced by the committee and members of dorms to the legislature' re quested color television sets for many dormitories. The University administra tion provides funds for re quired improvements, such as repairing and installing need ed facilities. Such a joint project was the agreement for the addition of a social room in the Upper Quad Manley, Mangum, Quad (Manley, Mangum, case the administration is pro viding two - thirds of the cost; student government, one-third. The women's residence halls are divided into six areas: Nurses' dorm; Smith and Whitehead; East and West Cobb; Winston; Spencer; and Kenan, Mclver and Alder man. The women's dorms which have been converted from men's dorms have the most improvement problems. These dorms, built for men, have not been completely changed in. Another vivid memory which sticks in her mind was her first sight of the ship she would soon be sail ing on. She described it as a large boat with "the most beautiful sails you ever saw." Strong Negro men work to the rhythm of their song. Karen explained that the ship's itinerary is deter mined by the passengers' wishes. "Sometimes we would make stops just so passengers could collect sea shells." There were many added attractions for the tourists. The most impressive were the windjammer sails, which were strictly ornamental. Karen said she was very disappointed to learn that while the Cupper appeared to sail across the -waterman cine as soon as possible to ward off the winter flu. Students may get the shots at the infirm ary from 9 to 11:30 a.m. and from 2 to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. There is a fee of $1.

Winston has two washing machines and one au tomatic dryer for about 300 students. Whitehead has one washer and one dryer for 110 students. Winston committee repre sentative Pam Wise reports that, although the dorm's one study room is sufficient study space, better curtains are needed for the privacy of co eds studying there. She also said that ample study space was made in the use of small rooms on each floor. v Whitehead has one study room the size of a double room.

The windjammer cruises are designed to give people a chance to get away from it all by casual travel. For Karen, nothing was casual and after a ten-day cruise she admits she was 'throughly exhausted and ready to abandon the seas for awhile. This is exactly what she did. Acquiring the job of gov erness for six children, she went from scrubbing the deck to scrubbing faces. Her employer was a noted shipbuilder and boat racer in Cocoanut Grove, a suburb of Miami.

Miss Wise also said that the parlor area had been great ly improved but that some minor changes are necessary. "The parlors are adjacent to the television room, spea rated only, by folding doors "Students watching television want more privacy," she said. Whitehead has no private television room. It's television is placed in one of the par lors at the dorm entrance. Other dorms have similar problems. Judy Whitaker of the Kenan, Mclver, Alderman area reports that Mclver has one washing machine and no dryer for its students. This dorm has no private televi sion room either.

Senate Okays .Reapportionment RALEIGH (AP) The North Carolina House Thursday pushed a plan for re drawing the state's 11 congressional districts to the edge of enactment and wrote into law a reapportionment scheme for itself. The legislature, its two chambers on the brink of an oDen feud, annmvpd th House plan after a conference committee wrestled with peifcundi ueieai ior nep. enaiKy Wallace of Montgomery County. The House approved the congressional redistricting plan, 78-35, but delayed final action until Friday when Rep. George Uzzell of Rowan objected to the third and final reading. Subways After 12 NEW YORK fAP) With a roar above ground and a rumble beneath, New York's 800-mile subway and bus sys tem rolled back to normal yesterday, with settlement of a 12-day citywide transit strike, first in the city's his tory. Losses of $500 million to $800 million during the mu nicipal crisis were grievious, and strike settlement terms placed the 15-cen transit fare in jeopardy. But eight million footsore New Yorkers hailed with jubilation the end of the mammoth tieup. Peace terms were drawn up by a three-man team of na tionally known mediators, al though Republican Mayor John V. Lindsay hailed the agreemen as a triumph for collective bargaining. The cost to the city was estimated at from $52 million to $70 million over two years. The strike ended before dawn and by noon subways and buses were reported on schedule on nearly all lines. Said conductor John T.. Downes, 59, aboard one of the first subway trains to roll: "It sure feels good. It was the first strike and I hope the last." However, Manhattan under went another big traffic jam as motorists poured to work before the resumption of trans it service. "I ask the people of New York to do the exceptional for just one more day," said Lindsay in pleading for pa tience on the clogged streets. With the strike over, Mich ael J. Quill, president of the AFL-CIO Transport Workers Union, was released from im prisonment as were eight oth er strike leaders jailed for contempt. Quill remained in Bellevue Hospital where he is being treated for a heart con dition. But the bills for his $48 a day hospital room and for extensive treatment were no longer being picked up by the city. Also dropped was a $322,000-a-day damage claim brought against the union by the Tran sit Authority. In winding up Joyner If Joyner Dormitory' resi dents seem bewildered this year when asked who the dormitory president is they have a right to be. There have been three different ones and the fourth one is to assume of fice tomorrow. The different administrations have come about, not by vio lent overthrow by dorm resi dents, but by other less violent methods. The first resident to hold the office was Rusty Ward who was elected to the position last February and assumed his du ties in March. However, he did not return to the University in the fall and the vice president of the dorm itory, Pat Rhodes assumed the president's office. However, a short time later he resigned and the newly elected vice -president Don Kemlein took over the president's duties. But now Kemlein is moving off the campus and is leaving the president's office vacant. Freshman Rick Draper who was elected vice president of the dormitory about six weeks ago now finds himself being elevated into the president's position. After thinking about being the fourth president of the dormitory this year, he com mented, "I just hope that I Rolling Days this phase of the authority's conempt case against strike leaders, State Supreme Court Justice Abraham Geller said: "If this had had gone furth er, God only knows what would have happened to the concept of colective bargain ing.' Lindsay estimated losses due to the strike at $500 mil lion. The commerce and in dustry association, scaling down a previous billion dol lar estimate, put the loss at $800 million, and called the economic blow the severest "since the great depression." Spring Rush Starts Feb. 13 Spring Rush will begin on Feb. 13, according to Intra Fraternity Council President Frank Martin. f "An organizational meeting 'will be held sometime during the week before rush to ex plain the technical aspects of rush to all interested fresh men," Martin said. This is the second year that rush has been held in the spring. Before this, rush was held during the fall semester. Martin said that spring rush had grown out of a faculty, administration and student conference held in Southern Pines during the spring of 1962. Spring rush was espe cially instigated to replace the "80 per cent rule." The 80 per cent rule said that a fraternity was not allowed to rush if 80 per cent of the brothers did not receive a 2.0 average. In answer to a question con cerning spring rush, Martin said that a smaller amount of boys pledged last spring, but this was to be expected were apt to flunk out under the fall rush system. The residence college sys tem is not expected to hinder this year's rush. "I am glad to see the residence college system in operation," Martin said, "because it provides a social outlet for boys who are not interested in fraternities." Seeks 5th can last for the remaining month until the new officers are elected " Fire Damages House A small fire broke out late yesterday afternoon in a one story frame house on Church St. causing extensive damage to one room. Capt. R. B. Williams of the Chapel Hill Fire Department said no one was injured. The house, at 303 Church St. near the Oh Boy drive in, is owned by Jesse Stouds. "Williams said the cause of the fire was a small two-burner oil stove in a side room. Apparently the stove exploded. The fire destroyed most of the room including its con tents, a television, piano, couch and two chairs. The fire broke out about 4 p.m. and the fire de-mnt arrive rr. mutes later.

It was a Before endorsing the pro posal, the House moved War ren County to the Second Dis trict. The change will have to be approved by the Senate be fore the bill becomes law. Under the pioposal, the Sec ond District would include Warren, Granville, Vance, Franklin. Halifax, Edgecombe, Wilson, Johnston, Greene and Lenoir counties. The House defeated congres sional redistricting plans offer ed by Rep. James Vogler of Mecklenburg and the Republic an party. Yogler's plan re ceived the support of 50 legis lators. The House also voted down an attempt to get Rutherford County moved from the 11th to the 10th District. Rep. Lacy Thornburg of Jackson County argued that if Rutherford was taken out of the 11th District "it would play havoc" with the population of the district as compared with the ideal figure suggested by the court. Uzzell attacked the congres sional plan, saying "you are making the greatest mistake. You are hurting us Rowan County worse than any act you have ever enacted." The debate on the House re apportionment plan centered around whether Montgomery County should be in the same district with Randolph County which consistently votes Re publican. The House approved the bill Wednesday, but it stalled for one day when it hit the Sen ate. At present, 49 counties in the state have districts in which candidates can reside any where in the county and run for the board. Under the Britt plan, the county boards will be permit ted to either realign their dis tricts "if they feel there is un equal representation in those - districts," or abolish the dis trict lines and let the candi dates run at large. The legislation is designed to enable counties which have dis tricts to head off possible law suits over representation on the boards. Two suits are pend ing in federal court attacking the commissioner districts in Onslow and Carteret counties. Sen. Herman Moore of Meck lenburg contended the special legislative session was called to handle only legislative re appcrtionament and congres sional redistricting.

Shetland, professor and director of Pub lic Health Teacher Preparation Program at North Carolina has resigned her post. She will become dean of the College of Nursing at Wayne State University in Detroit on Feb. 1. Suggestions Sought The Campus Chest Execu tive Council is seeking sug gestions concerning which or ganizations or charities should receive funds from this year's Campus Chest Drive. According to Dave Bruen ner, co-chairman of the coun cil, students have in the past complained of having no voice in the distribution of the fuhds. Bruenner said he feels that for this reason some students have been reluctant to' contribute.
