WILKINSON DTH Staff Writer The Davie Poplar has, in recent weeks, developed into one of the centers of real intellectual activity at UNC as well as a baston of free speech. The stately tree in McCckle Place has won its reputation by virtue of the presence each Wednesday afternoon or history professor William Geer. Geer materializes under -the Davie Poplar each Wednesday at four o'clock ready to discuss issues of campus, state, na tional, and international im portance as well as issues of no importance whatsoever. lie is also ready and willing, to listen patiently to the ideas " and opinions of the students who turn out to express themselves. The result is the Geer Conversation: a sort of local Hyde Park open forum at tended by Geer's students, former students, disciples, and opponents as well as by other UNC students who simply want to take advantage of the op portunity to express their own ideas and opinions. The Conversation has not been located in McCorkle Place the entire year. During the long winter months, the Woodhouse Conference Room on the second floor of the Graham Memorial Student Union was the scene of Geer's weekly salon. Geer moved the Con versation outdoors several weeks ago in order to more fully enjoy the benefits of "beautiful Chapel Hill." The Modern Civilization teacher has a way of extolling the beauties of "Chapel Hill in the springtime" with a semi sarcastic tone that cannot hide the true affection he feels for the town and school. Neither can the uniquely satirical ring of his voice disguise the real devotion he feels for his teaching and ad A f V March ji.ii-u.l--u- ., ii 114 win i imiiiiimiiiwiiiiiii aji, in gm jphh,j f M Ml, - 9mmmmm$immmmimmmmmiSf -y--!

Cansler's hope for SL ap proval of the procedures stem med from his wish to work within the framework of the law. "There is a difference be tween protecting the in dividual rights of students and dealing with the state law," the Dean said. "I think our concern through out this matter has been to set up means by which matters of drug involvement can be handled within the con text of the state law," he added. Cansler urged that in 'providing for the constructive rehabilitation of drub abuse, ministrative posts here (He is head of the student aid office) and the joy that he finds in them. The Conversation is Geer's pet project, the fulfillment of his desire for more personal contact with at least a few of the two hundred students in his Modern Civilization class and the thousands of students whom he has taught in his many years at UNC. Geer is famed for his efforts to know "personally" each person in his huge, lecture class. Geer students are re quired to fill out "personal data" cards for the history professor and to write per sonal histories. Some ?eer . students . find these requirements a bit ec centric, but most realize that they are the result of a real and personal interest on Geer's part in each and every student under his tutorship. This interest is revealed best to those students who gather for the Conversation on Dawson To Become Arts, Sciences Dean Dr. Raymond Howard Dawson of the political science department will be the new dean of the college of Arts and Sciences. Chancellor J. Carlyle Sit terson announced Tuesday that Dawson, who will be promoted to the rank of professor, will succeed Dean John Charles Morrow who will become university provost. Both men will assume their new duties on July 1. The new dean is a native of Camden, Ark., he joined the faculty here in 1960. He graduated from the College of the Ozarks in Clarksville Ark., earned his master's degree Emmett McKelpin and Janice Lee accepting contributions in Y-Court for the Poor People's March. The contributions will be used to feed the marchers who are due to arrive in Chapel Hill today. this procedure and the University drug policy, as ap proved by Student Legislature, have done just that." The bill, in asking for ap proval of the procedures for only a 100 day trial, states that "the handling of recent drug cases by the University has not been consistent with the expectations at the time the policy was approved." The measure warns that "the existing drug policy is not in the best interest of the student body or the University," but asks tem porary passage of the pro cedures, explaining that "it is nevertheless recognized that there 'are cases pending that Wednesday afternoons. Those who do find that Geer is in complete sympathy with stu dent needs, desires, and pro blems. In fact, he is probably more sympathetic towards stu dent problems than most students themselves. The Conversation itself ia a remarkable exercise in free Topics range from student ac tivism to Richard Nixon, to the war, to Confedreate General Robert E. Lee. Geer's views on Lee and the south in general have in spired some of the most heated debate. Geer might be cited as an apostle of the "New South." He advocates a thorough break with past southern history and tradition, feeling that that is the only course of action which can bring real progress to the southern states. . Yesterday, Geer called for something like that in regard (Continued on Page 6) from Vanderbilt and his Ph.D. from UNC. Dawson is now on leave at Columbia University's War and Peace Institute.

Contingent on SL approval of the procedures, two students from the men's andor Women's Court designated in order of preference by the Student Body President, would be included on the faculty-administrative Judicial Board which presently tries students for alleged drug abuse. Cansler said mistakes were made in the recent handling of drug cases here. It was the Dean's feeling that "whatever problems oc curred, occurred becuase of misunderstanding of a policy not yet in effect, in a case that cropped up before anyone knew how to handle it." He urged that the bill be passed to create a clear defini tion of the method of handling drug cases on campus. The bill states that students apprehended for only drug use will be treated medically in the first offense, but that se cond offenses will be referred to the Faculty-Administrative-Student Board for action. Evidence of illicit possession and-or transfer of drugs, the bill provides, will be "transmitted to civil authorities, and students in dicated by such evidence to be involved in possession and or transfer of drugs will be referred to the F a cu 1 1 y -A dministrati veStudent Judicial Board for action. The proposal also stipulates that "as a first order of pro cedure. ..all persons in vestigating instances of alleged possession and-or transfer of drugs shall as a first order of procedure advise the ac cused that no information given them relative to the specific case can be confidential.' WW OSBita JL - Chancellor J. Carlyle Sit terson announced Tuesday that the university is "resolved to improve business operations" as soon as possible at Memorial Hospital. His statement was released in response to State Auditor Henry L. Bridges who criticiz -ed the accounting procedures at Memorial Hospital in an audit report issued Monday. Bridges said he directed his complaints to South Building because Memorial Hospital of ficials had failed to carry out the procedural recom mendations made to them to previous audits. His report said: "The man ner in which the hospital records are now maintained is not consistent with good accounting procedures and as a result we are unable to ex press an opinion as to the reliability or accuracy of the statements presented in our report." Sitterson said advice will be sought from appropriate State Government offices and possibly from additional con sultants in making im provements in the hospital ac counting procedures. "The North Carolina Memorial Hospital is an ex emplary institution for the care of patients and for the teaching of students," said Sit terson. "We intend to make JUL Will 2 A.M. Permissions For Exams Rejected The 2 a.m. late sign-out permission for coeds during exams was voted down in this semester's last WRC meeting Tuesday afternoon. According to the council the late permission would put an extra burden on those who work at the sign-out desk. In addition a sample poll showed that most girls did not think they would take advantage of the late permission. The council also approved the new rules quiz which will be given to all new students on Thursday after orientation week next year. The same honor system quiz will be ad ministered next fall.

"In an effort to cope with accounting demands, ad ditional staff members are being recruited, new acc ounting systems are being developed, and "automatic data processing methods are being applied," Sitterson's statement continued. The audit report criticized the fact that hospital funds were transferred from one fiscal year to another without approval of the Bu'dget Division of the State Depart ment of Administration. According to Bridges a total of $304,290 was involved, $93,099 of which is still uns pent.
