I Clip Vol. 74 FRIDAY, AUGUST 4, 1967 Number 14 ean Long Gives His Parting Thoughts D By JOE SANDERS "There is a phantom in this office; he circulates little red in dians," said outgoing Dean of Men William Long. But, he said, the phantom will live after he leaves to take up duties at Kalamazoo College in Michigan on Monday. Long sat back in his chair and toyed with the little red plastic indian that he had found in his pencil box, while he reflected on his eight years at Carolina and offered opinions on the current state of student affairs. His office was in a state of transition: a pile of folders lay on his deslc and the walls were stripped of decoration. Over by an open file cabinet lay a diagram of campus parking areas. PARKING When asked how he felt about the trend in parking problems at Carolina, Long said, "You've just touched on my biggest headache. That is an area in which you can please no one: March, Rally Set Here Tomorrow A march down Franklin Street ending in a rallly with speeches against the Vietnam war will be staged here at 2 p.m. Saturday. The march, sponsored by the UNC Vietnam summer organiza tion, is being held in conjunction with August 6 Hiroshima Day. Vietnam Summer is a national organization which encourages and coordinates protests against the Vietnam war on the local level. George Vlasits, UNC graduate student and an executive com mittee member of UNC Vietnam Summer, will speak at the rally. John Gamble, professor of biology at North Carolina College in Durham is also scheduled to speak, along with Duke graduate student Bill Camp and UNC graduate student Gary Waller. The protest march will begin at the Chapel Hill-Carrboro ci ty limits on West Franklin Street and end at Silent Sam on cam pus, a distance of one mile. Philip Alden, a member of Vietnam Summer, estimates that up to 200 people will participate in the march. He said he expects that most of the regular Peace Vigil members will participate in the protest march. Yacks Available The Yack Office has a large quantity of yearbooks on hand, returned by the Post Of fice for insufficient or in correct address, since fourth-class mail is not forwarded. The office has received many inquiries from students who have not received their books. If you changed your address during the past year without informing the University, the Yack Of fice probably has your book. You may claim it in the basement of Graham Memorial, from 1-3 p.m. Monday-Friday. A limited supply cf Yacks is also available to non-students at $6.00 per copy. V. V. .V ft making regulations on cars is like tramping on someone's foot." "Chapel Hill is limited socially, and students need to have cars to get where the ac tion is. The university should provide storage spaces, but students don't have to have cars so they can get out of the rack in time to hop into their wheels and go to class." When asked what was being dont to remedy the crowded parking problem, Long said that high-rise plans were being con sidered, but nothing had been approved. "A seperate depart ment is being created this fall to deal with all traffic problems," he said. FRATERNITIES Dean Long had been at times critical of the fraternity system while at Carolina, and was ask ed what he thought of the value of fraternities at UNC now. "Fraternities must make a positive contribution to this scene if they are to survive," he said. "The old Mickey Mouse Presidential Aides Named By Travis Presidential aides, directors of the five departments of the ex ecutive branch and chairman of student government's 28 com mittees for the coming year were announced Wednesday by Student Body resident Bob Travis. The aides are Dave Kiel, presidential assistant; Ken Day, executive secretary; Karen Gib bon, special assistant to the president; Barbara G a d d y , presidential receptionist; and Charlie Mercie, director of public relations.

"We've still got some old fashioned frats on this campus, but the leadership of the Intrafraternity Council and the national leadership are im proving. "Studtnts are more serious to day than eight years ago, but they're also more tense. They need the community that a fraternity can provide. There is greater potential for social life in the fraternities than in the residence college system." RESIDENCE COLLEGE SYSTEM "But the residence college system is still in a state of becoming, he said. "The ob jectives are so sound that it really can't fail. "This fall, for instance, there will be eight classes instead of three being held in the colleges. This is a new development in faculty participation. And, of course, the residence colleges provide a community for the student." INDIVIDUALITY vs. BUREAUCRACY Long said that both the (Continued on Page 2) tress 6CC1V Student Body President Bob Travis announced Wednesday that this University has been awarded a grant from the Na tional Student Association to study stress on the mental health of students.

Study Grant ed From I "We are very pleased that the NSA picked us to receive this very valuable grant," Travis ... said. Presidential assistant David Kiel, commenting on the grant, said, "NSA realizes that our University is the leading school in this region of the country." He illustrated this by noting that the other two grants announced were made to Princeton University and the University of Denver. In implementing the grant, Kiel said, "NSA is planning a program on this campus to determine what p'iri of the University student environment is subject to the most stress. "Some aspects of University life which will be under study to determine stress will be grades, the drop-add system and the1 residence college system." Kiel said that the study will rely mainly on student resour ces but would also engage the assistance of experts in the departments o f Psychology, Sociology and Public Health. "I think it is a tribute to Stu dent Government and to the Travis administration that this 'University was awarded the grant," Kiel said. Travis made several com ments Wednesday about the up coming National Student Association Congress which will be held at College Park, Maryland August 12-26. "The Carolina delegation to the Congress will be the largest ever," Travis said. "We think this Congress will be the most imnnrtant o-f Hip lact tfn vears " Travis said that Carolina delegates in every area of Stu dent Government will take part In the Congress. "They will meet in workshops," he said "and come back here and work in their particular area all next year." "Our experimental college should be the prize of the show," Travis said. Travis said that the Carolina delegation should be one of the strongest at the Congress. Delegate Teddy O'Tolle will be a candidate for National Affairs Committee Vice President. O'Toole is a former member of the NSA's National Supervisory Board and was chairman of the NSA on this campus last year. David Kiel will be a candidate for the National Supervisory Board from the Southern region. Student Body Vice President Jed Dietz is presently chairman of the Carolinas-Virginia region of NSA. "You can see," Travis said "that we are going to be strong at the Congress." Concerning plans for the com ng year Travis said he intends to call a special session of the legislature either during orien tation week or immediately thereafter. "We're planning the largest legislative program ever," he said, "with about 60 bills to be introduced at the start." Travis also expressed ap preciation to Food Services Director George Prillaman and former Presidential Assistant Don Duskie for staging last week's luau which he termed a ruecess.
