Chaplain Sees UNC Morals As Above Other Schools 9 By JUDY LESTER Are student morals at UNC lower or higher than those of students at other schools? , Rev. Bob Johnson, UNC graduate and chaplain here for 10 years, feels "we've no worse off here than at any large university. In fact, we're probably better." Rev. Johnson spends eight to ten hours a week counsel ing students on a wide range Sigma Chi DERBY DAY o o Free Prizes Free Admission Everyone Invited THURSDAY of problems. "Other chaplains easily spend twice' as much time as I do. But we don't see many students with the most serious problems. They just don't come to us." Where doea the most seri ous problem in student morals occur? "In sexual experimentation. "There has been an in crease in sexual experimen tation in the last ten years. A general cultural factor has caused an attitude change. "The public at large is much more open about sex today. Ten years ago you wouldn't have seen prominent homosexuals positively d i s cussing homosexuality. Today, you do." Rev. Johnson' believes that this openness can be "help ful" in a way. "The open ness to admit hang-ups al lows a more healthy attitude. "The Student Health Ser vice contributes much in this area. Students feel freer to talk to psychiatrists and to seek help from them." The change in standards that has occured "will have an ef fect on the generation to come. The threshold is being pushed back so that we will have a more permissive society. "There is the. possibility that ten years from now stand ards will go uo again. It has hapDened in Russia. "Russia, where free love was once a common standard, has changed now to an al m o s t puritanical society," Rev. Johnson said. "Students themselves grow out of some of their promis cuity. The hang-ups begin to get old. Even sex can get boring if carried to an ex treme. "In some ways, student morals are better today than when I was an undergradu ate. Take drinking. Today's students are much more ma ture drinkers. They don't get as riotously drunk so that they are violently destructive as in my days. They're more sophisticated about the whole thing." What's the big problem now facing students? "Drugs. That's the next frontier. And they scare me the most." r : . -, V. "-"St.. . . V - X It's Time To 'Yell Louder!9 Head cheerleader Dick Starnes says cheerleading is hard work as he leads training- for tryouts this week. Here he urges applicants to "yell a little louder." Photo by Gene Wang She's A 92-Year-Old Coed Studying To Pass The Time 6 7(m z no sMla GSdwe yea tried it latsly?) ill' lnft'Ji I fp-:: One of the 3,719 coeds on the University of North Car olina campus here this year is a spry, spunky, 92-year- old little lady who thinks 'youth is the only thing in life worth envying." For 20 years now, Elise. Eaton has been coming down from Stockbridge, Mass., to spend her winters at the Car olina Inn. She is the widow of Walter Prichard Eaton, noted NEW YORK SUN dra ma critic, Yale professor and. playwright. Her husband was a visit ing drama professor here for several years. Since his death 10 years ago, she's been tak ing courses to help pass the time. Mrs. Eaton has taken a number of drama courses and nearly every art course offer ed by the University. This year, she's taking Renaissance Architecture and Religion and Art. "Some of the reading as signments are simply stupen dous," she says, shaking her ; reddish-blonde - head in awe. "I'm not taking courses for credit, but I couldn't make an 'A' even if I did all the required work. I'd expect to pass,, of course, but not with a top mark." . Her sense of humor is as keen as her mind and her observations as poignant as her steel blue eyes. Her can did comments are sparked with laughter and she has a ready reply for any question posed. "I've tried my best to get sympathetic with all types of modern expression in art, but I'm afraid I'm still blind," she admits. "Some think I'm hopeless." Studying, she feels, is es sential if one "doesn't want to just sit around and vege tate." Continous association with university students, she reasons, keeps her young and up-to-date. "There's such a lot of world to know about nowadays and you certainly can't learn about it all by yourself," she says. The oldest coed on cam pus is popular with students and townsfolk alike. One of the reasons, no doubt, is that she doesn't believe in giving advice. DAILY CROSSWORD If you haven't traveled on Trailways, you have a lot to look forward to.

"On the whole, students here are nice, polite and friendly," she describes her classmates and young friends. "And you know, I believe a great many of them are real ly serious. Not all of them, mind you, but a .great many." She works in Stockbridge as a volunteer clerk in the Garden Center gift shop in summer months. "Give me a C!" veils head cheerleader Dick Starnes from his . position on the Kenan Stadium wall. "CC. . .eee," yell back the group of Carolina students on the grass below, their voices reverberating in the empty stands above. "Give me an A!" "A, . .eee!" the students bounce back, this time trying to project as well some of the pep, sparkle, and personality that constitutes a Carolina cheerleader. A quick survey among the approximate twen ty boys and forty-five girls present reveals an aggregate of faces from all phases of student life, causing one to wonder why they are cheering so energetically to empty seats and staium walls. Theirs is the serious purpose of ig niting the school spirit and enthusiasm of their peers; the bond that draws them together for tryouts is the de sire to be one of Carolina's cheerleaders next year. The Cheerleaders' Selection Committee, headed by Bob Orr, has recently made two changes in tryout procedures. For the first time thirty fina listsfifteen boys and fifteen girls chosen for appearance, enthusiasm, and co-ordination while performing will be given personal interviews before the last selections are made. The second change is a ruling effective next spring requiring anyone interested in being a cheerleader the following year to try out, re gardless of previous experi ence on either varsity or freshman squads. A standard requirement is an academic average of 20. Four daj-s of practice will be followed by tryouts on Tuesday, interviews the fol lowing two days, and final se lections on Friday. Selections committee members faced with the task of picking from the hopefuls include two sen ior cheerleaders, the head cheerleader, the president of the Women's Athletic Associa tion, representatives of the Monogram Club and Carolina Athletic Association, and apre sidential appointee represent ing the student body. "Cheerteading is hard work," said Dick Starnes on the first day of practice. On the se cond day everyone realized what he meant as calf and thigh muscles protested the workout they received. According to this year's squad, two-thirds of a cheer leader's activities consit ' of behind-the-scene preparations such as arranging pep rallies, making posters, and assisting with freshman tryouts in the fall. Dick stresses the fact that the time involved requires a cheerleader to be dedicated to his job. Fringe benefits for those chosen next week will include trips to most away games and a week with the squad this summer at the beach. Meanwhile in the stadium, the Tin Can, and dorms and houses scattered across cam pus, no doubt at bizarre hours of the night and dav, the practice goes on. With five positions open the competition is stiff, and tryouts are com ing soon. Attention Grads! i Moving- To Charlotte?
