UNC President William Friday said
last week he will launch a study to
determine whether students on the 16
campuses of the University of North
Carolina system are taking enough
courses to graduate in four years.
Friday's action comes in the wake of a
recent controversy at N.C. State
between faculty and students over
whether students should be required ,tb
take a minimum course load. The
faculty contends that the University has
made it too easy to drop courses, and
that as a result, many students do not
graduate in four years.
To combat the increasing numbers of
drops, the Faculty Senate at State
recently proposed shortening the period
in which a student may drop a course,
without penalty, from nine weeks to two
weeks. The faculty body also urged that
students be required to take a minimum
workload of 12 hours a semester.
Students protested the faculty's
recommendation and rightly so.
The faculty's solution to the problem
of widespread course dropping is
myopic and self-defeating.
Today's students are driven to taking
fewer courses than their academic
predecessors by the need to excel
scholastically in an ever-more-competitive
environment. With the
domestic job market so tight in the last
few years, more and more college
students are choosing post-graduate
study as an appealing alternative to
selling penny candy at the local five-

to myopia
and-ten, or pumping gas and pushing
towels at Obie Davis Exxon.
The trouble is, there are many
applicants seeking few positions in
today's graduate schools. The
competition is worse than fierce, it's cut
throat. Forced to maintain super-human
academic records to gain entry into
medical and law schools,
undergraduates are increasingly
resorting to such tactics as sabotaging
the work of their classmates, paying
secretaries SI 00 for answers to tests and
rummaging through trashcans outside
department offices to find exam stencils.
If students resort to such drastic
measures to secure high academic
averages, and thereby increase their
chances of post-graduate study, it
should come as no shock to President
Friday, or anyone else, that students
drop courses more frequently now than
they did ten years ago. For a student
striving for admission to the UNC
Medical School, a B in bio-chemistry
just won't do anymore, so rather than
limit his chances, he drops the course
two weeks before the exam.
We don't pretend to know the cures
for these complex academic ills, but one
thing is clear, trying to solve, the
problems caused by brutal scholastic
competition with minimum course load
requirements and aborted drop periods
is like treating measles with spot
remover.

Milking the
To the editor
The Dead-Horse-of-the-Month Award should
go to M iss Sallie Shuping and M iss Nancy Mattox
(DTH, April 9) for their clever effort to milk the
student body for a $2.50 student-fee increase after
the student body defeated the same measure in the
campus elections of six weeks ago.
No matter how loud the Association for
Women Students screams, or any other
organization that wants to cut itself a larger slice
.of the pie. students will continue to veto any fee
increase in the future.
After the Athletic Department rammed through
a 40 per cent escalation in athletic fees and the
Housing Department cunningly raised room rents
by as much as 11.1 per cent, and with the
University standing by to unload another one of
its annual tuition increases, students are tired of
continually paying more money just to receive the
same goods and services, especially if they can
block a fee increase by doing nothing more
complicated than putting an "x" in the "no box
on the ballot.
Impassioned pleas for money to provide anti
misogynous magazines, newspaper for entering
black freshmen, and more paper clips for Suite C
just don't seem to, cut the monetary mustard
anymore.

To the editor
Congratulations to the Zeta Beta Tau
Fraternity and expecially to Harvey D. Aaron, as
you obviously expected, on your collection of
$1600 Saturday for charity. I must say, it was a
grand deed indeed! Furthermore. I commend all
the brothers for committing themselves so
wholeheartedly in the service of humanity. As
another humanitarian once remarked, if asked to
go one mile, go two instead. Regarding the long
hours you all put in, I am sure they were very
fulfilling as well as rewarding considering the
unselfish attitude toward mankind that must have
been exemplified by all brothers participating. But
then an unselfish attitude isn't rewarding unless
reported in the DTH. Or is it?

Searching for order
To the editor.
A column ("Lessons of sixties...") in a recent
issue of the Tar Heel offers a view of students
engaged in personal consciousness raising as
apathetic, selfish and passive in the face of
continuing world problems. In looking at history
to learn from, past mistakes we seldom
acknowledge that there are as many "lessons to
learn from an event as there are people viewing
the event. Perhaps some of those "turning inward
have discovered peace in our world comes only as
a reflection of peace within us; that only when an
individual becomes aware of, and takes full
responsibility for his subjective universe can he
expect to find order and meaning in his outer life.
