Carolina Choir
Paid Tribute
To The Editor:
A very special thanks is due Dr. Lam
Hoggard, the Carolina Choir and duo
pianists, Woody Durham and Nancy
Norwood for a most enjoyable program
of music presented in Hm Hall last Tues
day evening.
Such a professional performance is the
result of hours of rehearsal and sincere
dedication of both the director and
members of the choir.
The University can be proud of this
group.

To The Editor:
We have heard about the trouble in
Vietnam, about the Communists and alL
Some of us have been talking, and we
came up with the idea that Ho Chi Minh
and other outsiders are what is wrong. So
why don't they get rid of them, which
would be a heuristic, visceral solution.
Also, why don't the Arabs and the
Israelites settle up in a Christian way?

There is still hope that senior
women here may be freed from
closing hours. ' . -
That hope emerged as the main
' point of a meeting Monday between
the Women's Residence Council,
which proposed the idea, and the
'. Administration, which vetoed it.
Further, that hope was. jelled
into a student-f aculty-ad-(
ministration board to be "set up
later this week to dtudy how
Carolina might best implement a
system whereby senior women,
and those older than 21, could
decide for themselves when to call
it a night. "
The board is to study different
proposals such as .night wat
chmen, magnetic card key systems
and so on that would allow for
dorm security without making it
mandatory that all girls be safely
locked in their residence halls by a
specific closing hour.
; And this is progress.
' .
IT IS ESPECIALLY progress
when one considers that not a
single faculty or administrative
voice rose in the meeting to speak
out against the principle that
Seniors should be allowed greater
latitude than they have now.
Their silence from dissent, and
during his orientation speech :
"There are many traditions
around Carolina," he said then,
'pie greatest of these is the tradi
tion that no tradition is to be held
sacred."
Chancellor Sitterson's meeting
with the WRC and agreeing with
them in the spirit, even if not in the
mechanics, of the no-closing liours
policy, shows without a doubt that
the Chancellor meant what he said,
that he is firmly devoted to the
principle that times change, and
that institutions must change to
keep in step with them.
ITIIE UNFORTUNATE thing,
however, is that because of the way
in. which the University's ad
ministrative bureaucracy is set up,
the Chancellor and his forward
looking ideas often seem too
isolated from the actual running of
this University to be of that much
good.
; For example, the WRC proposal
was made at a meeting Jan. 9. It
was not until last-week, however,
that the adininistrative veto of
it from the hand of Chancellor Sit
terson came back to the Coun
cil. I Meanwhile, the proposal had
been slowly winding its way
through the offices of the various
lesser administrators, over the
tables of advisory committees and
only then into the Chancellor's
hands.
During this entire process there
arose what Sharon Rose, chairman
of the WRC, referred to as a "ter
rible block in communications
between South Building .and the
WRC."
"
THIS BLOCK existed not so
much between simply South
Building and WRC, but more
specifically between the Chancellor
and the Council. Why? Because
this block was constituted of some ;
of the lower echelons of South
Building, the narrow channels
through which any measure must
pass before coming to the attention
of Chancellor Sitterson.
And in the case of the WRC pro-
JL
posal, those channels were so nar
row that they did not permit for
any interchange between Chan
cellor Sitterson the man with
whom the authority to decide
rests and the students,
represented in this instance by the
WRC.
As soon as there was a direct
link established between the two,
however, the situation was worked
out much more favorably to the
students. .
Obviously, what needs to be
done if the various agencies of Stu
dent Government all the way
from the president's office to the
WRC are going to be able to ef
fectively deal with the
Administration in a manner that
will benefit the students, the target
of dealings with South Building is
going to have to be reassessed.
In other words, students are
going to have to start going more
often- to the man at the
t o p C h ancellor Sitterson if
anything's going to get done
around here.
Apparently, that's the only way
to get things done.

To The Editor:
On August 26, 1920, the Nineteenth
Amendment was added to the United
States' Constitution giving women the
right to vote. Women already had equal
protection of the laws. In Brown et al. v.
Board of Education, 347 U.S. 483 (1954),
Mr. Chief Justice Warren in a unanimous
U.S. Supreme Court decision concluded
"that in the field of public education the
doctrine of 'separate but equal' has no
place." We, as women students, are very
dissatisfied with the discriminatory con
ditions we find on this campus.
The denial of no closing . hours to-
senior women is one symbol to us of the
overwhelming double standard existing
on campus. The men on this campus are!
required to live in dormitories during
, their freshman year. However, at zo time
m their college career is their private life
regimented. Single undergraduate women '
must live in dormitories for three years 1
During this time of required residence we

In fractons of these regulations incur

The Administration has stated time
and again that one of its prime objectives
18 safety and security of the women
students; therefore, protective rules and
regulations have been imposed. A woman
student was murdered on campus in
broad daylight. Exhibitionists have been
seen on many occasions during the day
and prowlers break into women's
residence halls after closing hours

Fifteen minutes walk from the heart
of campus is a ghetto.
Not a ghetto inhabited by Puerto Ric
nas, Cuban refugees or Negroes, but a
ghetto inhabited by 3,500 male students of
this University.
They don't live is tumble-down shacks
with leaky roofs, they live in new, sparkl
ing, sterile brick towers of the most
modern design.
The towers of South Campus are
designed by the most knowledgeable
architects in the state. Their interiors are
designed for the maximum in comfort
and the maximum in compatibility. !
There's nothing wrong with the
buildings or the people in them. They're
just too far from the heart of Carolina,
and the people who inhabit the towers of
brick miss out on the majority of what
life at Carolina really is.

respective dorms by a prescribed hour,
and pray. At least no one prowler has
been able to get into all of the dorm
itories in one night. Would it not he more
advantageous to all of those concerned if
all doors to the women's dormitories
were locked all of the time, and each
coed had a key?
We are women students. We will have
to abide by the University rules, because
if we break them, unless we do it "en
masse", we will be suspended, and we do
want an education.
What field is left open to us? The only
thing we can do is talk, discuss our
grievances with the Administration, and
if the Administration refuses to
listen. . . .

To The Editor:
Being an alumnus of UNC who is now
in school in Kentucky, I think- the
Carolina students will be interested in
knowing how the people out here view the
Tar Heels' record in basketball thus far.
Basically, they feel that it is due to pure,
unadulterated luck. According to them,
Carolina's chances for winning the ACC
tournament are niL They will fall to
either South Carolina or Duke and thus
not even make it to the Eastern Regional.
For a group of fans whose "home team"
has been beaten by the Heels for two
years in a row, these Kentuckians really
have short memories. As for the
University of Kentucky's little fiasco in
Greensboro back in December well
brother, that was before their heralded
sophomores came of age. Now. Kentucky 1
has the "most "improved team in the
country" and will go on to win the NCAA
crown! You didn't know that, did you? In
the words of one avid UK fan: "There's
not a team in the country that would dare
run with Kentucky including UCLA and
Houston." If the team's legs can run half
as fast as these people's tongues, he just
may be right.

the floor with a car that's headed for
campus, and if seven in the morning isn't
too early, an eight o'clock class can be
reached on time. Besides the walking is
good exercise.
What really hurts is the fact that a,
whole weekend can be spent on South
Campus without once seeing a girl. The
nearest, girls are in Nurses' dorm, and
that's still quite a walk from James, if
you are lucky enough to know someone
who lives there. .
The administration is saying that the
new girls' dorm that" is scheduled for
completion-in 1970 (last year it was 1969;
will do away with the problem. But even
if the new high-riser was going to be en
tirely occupied by irls, it will not be
enough- Since when did 800 girls provide
enough dates for 3,500 boys?
Sure there's going to be an additional
200 girls in Parker next fall. That makes
200 girls for the approximately 400 boys

And what about Carolina? Well, if they
do manage to win the ACC tournament
and the Eastern Regional, Kentucky will
be waiting for its sweet revenge. Besides,
Carolina showed last year what it can do
under pressure CHOKE.
Naturally, I don't believe any of this
for one minute, nor do the few other
Carolina fans out here. But the people of
Kentucky, need a little convincing. In the
meantime, I remain a fugitive in a
strange and hostile land.

But to top the whole problem off,
there is much talk that the new girls
dorm will be a coed structure similar to
Granville Towers. That will mean that
the boys in the new dorm will have a
great advantage over the 3,500 other date
starved students hving south of Kenan
Stadium.
And yet another problem, where are
all the girls to fill the new dorm coming
from? Only about 300 coeds will be ad

by 100 in a number, that is already too
small by about 1,000 girls.
There is more to college and Carolina
that the grades. Most of the student here
