Seniors To Have Cars
I Pending Legislature Bill
I Seniors may be allowed to keep

If a bill presented to Legis-lature
last week paasea. The bill,
| along with one calling for a fourth
campus publication, was tabled for
further study. A third bill amend-ed
the list of foods which may be
taken out of the dining hall to
Include breads, cakea and cookies.
Regulations had previously allow-ed
the only fruit to be taken from
the dining halls The bill received
the approval of Legislature and
was passed.
The bill allowing seniors to keep
ears on campus pointed out that
most members of the class were 21
| and therefore legally eligible for
the responsibility of owning and
maintaining an automobile: a nota-ble
percentage of the senior class
possesses or will possess automo-biles
and are desirous of using
them: and that graduating seniors
find It necessary to travel
throughout the state and sur-rounding
areas to make applica-tions
for employment.
The bill stated that a traffic
committee be set up to control
registration of all cars on campus.
:to collect a registration fee, to
issue stickers of identification, to
file complete records of registra-tion
with the administration, and
to establish parking regulations.
The bill was tabled for further
study by s committee composed
of the President of the Senior
Class, the President of the Town
Students Association, and the sen-ior
legislative representatives from
Mendenhall.
The bill asking that a fourth
campus publication be established
for a trial period waa presented
by Eileen Willner. It noted an
area of atudent thought not cov-ered
by either the CAROLINIAN
or CORADDI which needs more
attention. The contents of the pub-lication,
the bill stated, would
take the form of term papers,
themes, and essays and would In-
' elude the work of both students
land faculty members. The bill
! waa referred to a legislative com-mittee
for investigation.

Prospective Teachers Advised By Howe;
Teachers' Acceleration Policy Announced
Dean Kenneth Howe, of the
School of Education, haa released
the following statement of policy
regarding students who wish to
accelerate and take their profes-sional
work In teaching out of se-quence
or In an order not normal-ly
followed by our regular four
year students.
"We recognize that the nature
of the student body on our college
campuses la changing, and that
there are a number of conditions
which make It not only neceeaary,
but also advisable to provide for
an accelerated program for a stu-dent.
It should also be recognized
that we have established, la the
School of Education, a program
for the preparation of teachers
which, at the present time, we
feel Is good and which students
should follow We hope that teach-er*
are being educated for teach-ing,
and not Just trained to teach.
A program In teacher education
la not merely completing a given
number of houra of work In edu-cation.
"In determining whether or not
, student should accelerate, we
feel that the following should be
carefully considered.
1. That student should have
"B" or better average In his col-lege
work.
2. The decision to accelerate
should come by the time the stu-dent
haa completed 80 hours of
college work.
3. Students who are carrying a
heavy work load to help pay thelr
way through college, along with
full time college work, should not
expect to accelerate their program.
4. Each case for acceleration
should be studied and treated in-dividually.
No general set of con-ditions
will apply to all students
5 Approval for an accelerated
program in Teacher Education will
require the approval of the Dean
of the School of Education
"The School of Education will
be glad to receive any and all
suggestions and ideas that would
be helpful. In the Interest of pro-viding
the beat possible teacher
education program for our stu-dents
When It Is determined that
acceleration la not only possible,
but Is also In keeping with a
sound approach to teacher educa-tion
and compatible with the sit-uation
existing with a given stu-dent,
permission to accelerate will
be granted."
