The judging for the awards in the Southeast. The Nash ville Tennessean selected the Dth as the best college daily. G. W. Churchill of the Ten nessean said that the only newspaper that was a close challenger for the award was The Daily Athenaeum, West Virginia University. Churchill said, "Both papers are well - written, well la id out; papers the colleges and staffs which produce them can be proud of. I gave first place to The Tar Heel be cause of slightly neater lay out, somewhat better photog raphy and use of pictures, a slightly greater variety in feature story subject matter and perhaps a bit brighter writing." The Norfolk Virginian Pilot & Ledger - Star said in giving it the best editorial page award that The Daily Tar Heel had "conspicuously the most professional page of the 30 submitted." the judges no ticed that DTH editorials were repritned in some of the other William L. Tazewell, Associ ate Editor of the newspaper, said, "The editorials are rele vant and well - writte, the editorial features are lively and varied and the page is attractive to the eye. "The editorial cartoons of Chip Barnard, which have point and style, are the only ones in the contest papers to display either quality." The Charleston News & Courier in awarding David Programmed Texts Help Students Master Courses By DAVID ROTHMAN DTH Staff Writer Do you like to digest your lesson bit by bit? If so, programmed learning will appeal to you. It's based on the assumption that students memorize many subjects more easily if they look over the material in little parts. At least two courses here Psychology 26 and the writ ing clinic mention Friday's DTH use text books em ploying this technique. Generally, students study ing programmed texts fill in blanks with what they think are the answers, after reading statements that contain hints.

Pledges Have Greek Week Fun-And-Games With grunts, huffs and puffs, nearly 400 fraternity pledges sweated their way through the last day of Greek Week Fri day. But it was a fun-and-games sort of day in Woollen Gym, with the pledges competing for points in a tug-of-war and var ious relays, like the one where a guy would run around a chair with a baseball bat and when he got back, eight of nis pledge brothers would be standing in line waiting to jump over it.

GARNER Special to the DTH Europe seemed as far away as the moon to the UNC Glee Club last year. When members first came to Director Dr. Joel Carter with the idea for a European Tour, they found that they would need at least $30,000 to pay for transportation, lodging and meals for the club's 40 men. It was enough to make strong men quail. The UNC - singers, however, had no intention of giving up. Under the leadership of Con cert and Tour manager Alvm Tyndall, they set quietly to have reached the top . . .

A call for help went out in 200 letters; 1300 to Glee Club Alumni. From these letters alone, $14,000 found its way to the Glee Club office in the base ment of Hill Hall. A bill was introduced in Student Leg islature which resulted in a $3,000 appropriation from Stu dent Government funds and club members dug good natur edly into their bank accounts and cut down on extra spend ing to come up with $200 apiece, totaling $8,000 for the entire membership. Contributions have arrived from unexpected sources and in unexpected forms. One en velope had a Hollywood post mark and contained a check for $500 from a former Glee Club president. It was signed Andy Griffith. Another alumni sent a con gratulatory letter and a certi ficate for one share of stock in Xerox Corporation. He was Lyman B. Whittaker, a retir ed businessman from Indiana polis, Ind. who sang in the club from 1907 to 1911. "As a member of the Glee Club more than half a century ago, I was delighted to hear of the invitations you have re ceived from several European countries to appear as their guest," Whittaker said. "This is indeed a tribute to your or ganization and the recognition of its accomplishments. You are to be contratulated." Burlington Industries has offered to outfit the entire group in new summer - weight blazers free of charge, and the Alumni Giving Council sent a check for $1,000.

Final plans are being made with confidence that the money will be raised. Ehringhaus Recount OK The Constitutional Council validated Ehringhaus Resi dence College's oft - counted ballots Thursday and three le gislators were sworn in. The election was being ap pealed because of charges that someone had tampered with the ballots causing the tal lies to change every one of the four times they were counted. Earlier this week, the coun cil had upheld former Student Body President Paul Dickson's ruling that fraternities and so rorities could not receive funds for colored television sets be cause of their secret constitu tions and by - laws and, in some cases, discriminatory clauses. Student Legislature passed a bill in March saying that the Greek letter organizations could receive the aid, Dickson vetoed it, the legislature re passed it and Dickson issued the order suspending it; What the legislature will have to do now is to repass the bill a third time this time as an amendment to the con stitution, since the constitution now makes funds available on ly to those organizations which will offer their constiturions and by - laws for inspection.

This year's SL was the first time in years there was a perfect split of 25 members repre- sented from each political party. No Independent legislators 1966 '.Determining SG's GoaP By LYTT STAMPS DTH Staff Writer Student Government must have as its goal the "shaping of our present and the determining of our future." Student Body President Bob Powell told Student Legislature in his inaugural address Thursday night. He said Student Government must do more than make life comfortable in Chapel Hill and then outlined four goals which he nlans to work toward this com ing year. A better education. Enrichment of life outside the classroom. Improved image for the University in the States eyes. Cooperation. Elections Show SL Cooperation By LYTT STAMPS DTH Staff Writer Cooperation was the pass word at the first session of the 41st Assembly of Student Legislature Thursday night. The 25 Student Party mem bers cooperated in voting for their party's nominees for chairmen of the standing com mittee and for other officers of the body. But 25 Uni versity Party members coop erated with their party in vot ing for their nominees. Thus, Student Body Vice President Bill Purdy, as Speaker, cast the deciding votes you guessed it in most cases, cooperatively for the UP candidates. The trend of the night was demonstrated from the first vote. First off, SP Floor Leader Steve Hockfield moved that speeches be limited to a three minute speech by the candi date. UP Floor Leader Ed Wilson asked that this be amended so that there would be no speeches. A vote was taken on the amendment. The 25 - 25 tie was broken when Purdy vot ed with his party. There were no nominating speeches. The pattern continued: UP nominated Ed Wilson for Speaker Pro - Tem; SP, San dy Hobgood. Wilson was elect ed by Purdy's vote. UP nominated George Ish erwood for sergeant at arms; SP, Dan Wall. Isherwood was elected, again by Purdy's vote. In like fashion, Steve Sal mony (UP) was elected chair man of the Ways and Means Committee over incumbent Sandy Hobgood (SP); and Dave Crockett (UP) is chair man of the Rules Committee, elected over George Krisch baun (SP). There were a few votes when the straight - party co operation were not shown: Both parties agreed that chairman of the Finance Com mittee and elected him by ac clamation. nr Ib ur f -. . .. 1 Purdy voted SP in favor of Marie Harris as filing clerk. He said UP candidate Marian Johnson would be busy as sec retary of the UP caucus. The SP tried to split the UP vote for chairman of the Judicial Committee by having one of its members nominate Myles Eastwood (SP) and an other to nominate Linda Bernasek (UP). After a gasp from UP Floor Leader Wilson, he hastily in structed UP delegates to vote as they had originally plan ned for Randy Worth (UP). Worth was elected by Purdy's vote after Eastwood had tied him in the vote of the body. Five bills and resolutions were introduced at the first session. Krischbaum introduced the first resolution for the SP, "A resolution proposing a consti tutional amendment concern ing legislative and judicial power to the Student Body for its ratification." The same bill was introduced in the last assembly but was not voted upon.

DTH Photo By 1 Founded February 23, 1893 Future PoweL Citing the better schools in the Northeast and Midwest, Powell said, "We are not re ceiving the kind of outstand ing education that marks oth er schools ahead of us. "Our curriculum has un necessary shortcomings that have resulted from poor plan ning and inadequate exami nation. He said the grading system is based on the concept that students should be mechani cally trained to digest and re produce knowledge without learning to think. "Our University is and should be more than simply a training school," he said. Powell pledged to continue development of the residence college system and asked for the support of the Legislature in this area. He also said, "It is impera tive that student leaders be gin an evaluation of the role of our fraternities immediate ly, and without pressure, rath er than waiting until another crisis forces us to act." : In referring to the Univer sity's statewide reputation, he said, "A majority of parents and voters in this state seem ingly distrust almost every thing about the University.'- i He said the University must expand its public relations work. In asking for cooperation, he expressed hope that his ad ministration would be a "Stu dent Government administra tion. sis Committee, the Public Af fairs Committee, the Peace Education Committee, and the International Relaitons Com mittee. Others are the Foreign Stu dents Committee, the Human Relations Committee, the Dorm Speaker Program, the Tutorial Program, the Mur dock and Umstead Mental Hos pital Committees, the Memor ial Hospital Committee, the Publicity Committee, and the Y newsletter Excelsior. The chairmen selected will be announced the following week and will join the recent ly elected executive officers to form the Y cabinet for the coming year. Lambert.
