It's Streamlined
By EVIE STEVENSON
Tar Heel Staff Writer
Within nine succinct pages,
rules for women students have
been written in the Women's
Handbook to be given to women
students during fall orientation.
Standing out above all other
changes, are the new closing
hours, increased by one hour
almost without exception.
Upperclassmen and second
semester freshmen will have 1
a.m. closing hours Sunday
through Thursday; 2 a.m. closing
hours Friday and Saturday.
First semester freshmen will
have the following closing hours:
Monday through Thursday-12
midnight (a change from last
year's 11 p.m. curfew); Friday
and Saturday nights 1 a.m. (no
change); Sunday-12 midnight
(no change).
Completely deleted from the
previous handbook, are dress
regulations. Women will use
Fall Orientation
By MARY BURCH
Tar Heel Staff Writer
"Most of the changes in fall
Orientation have come about in
an effort to streamline the
program," said Assistant Dean of
Men Dick Baddour.
One of the main streamlining
changes is the change of location
from Carmichael Auditorium to
Memorial Hall and the cutting
out of the unnecessary
convocations.
"The change to Memorial will
allow more eye contact and
more interaction in the
necessary convocations," said
Baddour.
Orientation Chairman Jay
Schwartz noted additional
changes in the TV honor system
program and the Big Sister-Little
Sister program.
The Orientation Commission
will sponsor a 30-minute
program entitled "Carolina Way
of Living" to be shown on
Sunday, September 15, and
Wednesday, September 19, on
WUNC-TV, Channel 4.
The beginning portion of the
program will have an
introduction to the Honor
System's history and Carolina's
codes of conduct.
Viewers will be shown a
mock trial as a demostration of
how the system works. Ann
Merricks, Vice Chairman of
Women's Council, will narrate as
the Honor Court tries a student
for cheating.
The Big Sister-Little Sister
program, the biggest change in
freshman orientation, will
virtually cut out the former
orientation group. One
counselor will be assigned as a
big sister to one or two freshman
girls replacing the eleven to
twelve member groups in the
past.
The big sister will be available
to the freshman all year, but
especially during the first
semester, noted Joyce Davis,

their personal discretion
concerning their dress on
campus.
Contrasting to last year's
regulations, the 1968-69
women's rules have abolished
closed study for first semester
freshmen.
Previously, freshmen were
required to sign out if they were
going to be returning after 8
p.m. This year, freshmen will
sign out if they intend to stay
out past 11 p.m.
The 1967-68 Handbook
stated the following policy
concerning men's private
residences:
(1) Women students may not
visit men in bedrooms which are
rented in Chapel Hill residences.
(2) Women's Residence
Council and the University
Administration recommend that
women students visit in men's
apartments only if two couples
are present.
(3) The Women's Council
handles all violations of
unladylike conduct under the
Campus Code wherever they
occur.
The new Handbook states
"Women are reminded of the
Freshman Orientation Chairman.
The Freshman Orientation
program will continue
throughout the year with weekly
programs which will cover a
range of topics.
"We plan to have several
weekly discussion sessions on
majors UNC offers," said Miss
Davis. "We hope also to have
what we will call a booth day at
Y Court or some other central
location on campus where each
organization on campus such as
Student Government and
Playmakers Theater can offer
information on their activities."
There will be additional
programs on sports and dorm
roundtable and panel discussion
groups.
Miss Davis said the
orientation plans tentatively
schedule a mother-daughter
weekend sometime during the
year where the mothers will be
invited to spend the weekend on
campus with their daughters.
During that weekend the
mothers will go to class with
their daughters and live in the
dorm to "more fully
understand" the problems of the
coed.
The weekend will feature
discussion between the mothers
and daughters on topics like
women's rules why the coeds
want changes and what changes
they want.
Approximately 500
counselors have been chosen for
the fall. Women's Co-Ordinator
is Julie Jones, a senior from
Ashville, and Men's
Co-Ordinator is Joe Ritok, a
junior from Detroit, Michigan.
responsibility of personal
integrity that they have accepted
upon entrance into the
University.
"It is requested that when
making decisions in the
formation and upholding of
personal standards, women take
into consideration not only their
own beliefs, but also the mores
of society."
The complicated regulations
for obtaining late permissions
have been revised in the new
handbook. The 1967-68 rules
divided late permissions into
three types: sign-out permission
where the individual must sign
out and in after obtaining
permission from the Dean of
Woman; senior permission where
seniors may sign out for a
one-hour extension of Friday
and Saturday night closing
hours; and campus-wid
permission for special campus
events.
The 1968-69 rules state
"special late permission may be
granted only for unusual
circumstances. It must be
requested through the Dean of
Women's Office at least 24 hours
in advance."
'Friendly9 Town
Boycotts Miller
By Evie Stevenson
Tar Heel Staff Writer
A small sum for the G.T.
Miller Fund has been collected
since its beginning last week.
Present intentions are to
continue the fund this fall with
booths in Graham Memorial and
Y-Court.
The fund was started for the
benefit of Miller who is suffering
the effects of social and
economic boycott by citizens of
Luverne, Ala. who resent his
policy of hiring Negroes and
supporting the civil rights
movement.
Luverne boasts a sign at the
city limits which reads "The
Friendliest city in the South."
CBS News, while covering the
Miller story, found the sign
somewhat contradictory when a
local townsman tried to break
the cameral lens with a tree
limb.
This rather militant
businessman told the CBS
newsman that "you don't have
any right to show what's going
on.
The protests of this man were
to no avail, for the CBS coverage
of the ostracizement of Miller
was brought to the attention of
Carolina student Randy Myer.
Myer, with the support of the
Tar Heel, IFC and GM began the
G.T. Miller Fund to buy grain
from Miller's grist mill, the grain
will be given to needy Negro
families in Luverne.
Miller is a former Ku Klux
Klansman. Forty years ago,
when Miller was part of the
Klan, he was well liked by most
of his fellow citizens. Now, at
age 69, he has renounced the
Klan and has joined the ranks of
civil rights supporters; he has
few customers.
Miller's situation was
aggravated when he refused to
fire a Negro whose son had
transferred to an integrated
school.
Miller said, "I needed a nigger
to work, and that nigger needed
his job . . . he's a very old nigger,
and a nice and good to get along
with, and we didn't think it was
our place to fire him just 'cause
he had a kid going to school. His
young one got a life to live, and
he just as well have an education
as my boy."
Miller is losing $1,500 a
month at his mill; but he
maintains that "I'm trying to
teach the folks to justlearn to
love one another and just get
along together." Miller seems to
be the only one in Luverne who
got the sign's message.
