A pre-sentation of the Bill for 12:00 Midnight Friday permission as approved by Chancellor W. W. Plerson, follows: WHEREAS: We, the students of the Wom-an's College of the University of North Carolina, recognize that as 'Changing South' Topic At Human Relations Seminar "Problems and Promise in a Changing South" was the topic of the Human Relations Seminar which was held at the University of North Carolina December 10 and 11. Delegates from twenty-three colleges and universities In North Carolina convened at How-el Hall at 2:30 p.m. Saturday to hear Edward P. Morgan, one of America's foremost news analysts with the National Broadcasting Company, make the keynote speech. His topic was "Goals and Little Girls," dealing with one of the South's most pressing prob-lems— that of the Integration queation. The speech was based around the specific problem which has presented Itself In the form of the four little Negro girls who enter-ed the public schools of New Or-leans not too long ago. Mr. Mor-gan described the fights that went on In New Orleans as "the whole essence of the democratic Idea." Morgan said that now Is the time for the people of America to lose * their timidity and their prejudices and to support our national goals of "equality of opportunity and ■ fulfillment." Workshop Held Following Morgan's address the delegates broke up Into five work-shop groups which were: "The Role of the Church In a Changing South". "Political Responsibility In a Changing South", "The Mean-ing of Higher Education in a Changing South", "The South' Ob-ligations In a Changing World" and "The South's Response to an Economy In Transition." Each workshop had a leader and resource who were experts In the field of the workshop topic The varied backgrounds and ex-periences of the members of each workshop was especially stimulat-ing In discussing the problems of the South and In the world. The workshop on "The Meaning of Higher Education In a New South" raised some especially In-teresting questions. One was "how much of a role does tradition play Bill-Inspired Gift A Senator at the State Student Legislature of North Carolina had assumed the great seal of North Carolina and was intently express-ing the belief that the state would greatly profit by the passage of his school's bill when a page en-tered the chamber with an ornate-ly wrapped gift In his hand. The page approached the plat-form at the front of the room and handed the package complete with an attached note to the president pro-tem of the Senate. Barney West whose argument In favor of East Carolina's birth control bill had won the Senate's approval. The Senator contemplated the gift for a moment and then tore the paper away, considered the contents, and hastly called for a page who carried the package to the back of the room and the East Carolina delegation. A few scattered chuckles were heard as the package made Its way around the Senate. And what ex-actly was the gift that made its way around the Senate and then to the House of Representatives? A book entitled What Shall We Name The Baby ... of course! : responsible citizens of a demo- . cratlc community we are consid-ered capable of using our leisure I time wisely and effectively. We j therefore petition for twelve I o'clock permission on Friday nights for upperclassmen. second semester freshmen, and second semester commercials. In addition to the aforementioned principles we feel that practical considera-tions of Friday night as a tradi-tional part of the weekend with its customary social and other functions and the fact that there would be no Increased financial obligations for paid hostesses, the fact that health should be no consideration since there are rel-atively fewer students engaged in Saturday classes than are engaged I In Monday classes land there Is I twelve o'clock permission on Sun-day nights), and the foreseen de- (crease In weekends taken merely for Friday night engagements augment our reasons of princi-ple; BE IT RESOLVED THAT: The Friday night curfew be ex-tended to twelve o'clock midnight for upperclassmen, second semes-ter freshmen, and second semes-ter commercials Approximately five hundred couples crowded the ballroom floor of Elliot i Kail for the annual Christmas Dance held on December 10. The dance was followed by a Christm cert presented in Aycock Auditorium on our campus" in reference to Ideas and beliefs as well as to the value of our Student Government. The point was established that Student Governments which arc based on the Legislative, Judicial and Executive principle are com-parable to our national govern-ment. The vaue of a student gov-ernment of this type Is Irreplace-able to a campus community of any large size. The reason for apathy in student government Is caused by the fact that students do not realize what would result I fthere were no such organiza-tion. A campus with an Honor Policy or code stressing Individual responsibility trains a student to value self-respect and personal honor as well as a responalblllty to those of his campus community. Integration Discussed The Integration question was also a prominently discussed topic. Traditions were seen to play a great role In this problem as well as the responsibility or Irrespon-sibility of slt-inmovemenU. Throe Important questions which came out of the workshop were: "What does It mean to be a stu-dent?" "Whst are our responsibil-ities as students?" and "What about Tradltlona"? Saturday night the delegates heard a panel discussion on the sit-in movement In the South. The panelists were Lacy Streeter of N.C. State, John Cook of N.C. State and David Price of U.N.C. Walker Berghahn, Goettlnger Scholar of U.N.C. was the modera-tor. Three polnta of view were presented and argued: Negroes are tired of equality lectures when they have to walk -only a block to see contradictions; the princi-ple of rights behind the sit-In Is good, but, sit-ins themselves are illegal because every man's house istorei Is his castle, and we must line up life at the fullest with our fellow man, make possible the preparation for all men to grow ('•aliased from Page Three 4-H Club Convention Held In November Attended By A Frosh People otten say that Woman's College students can be found everywhere. Proving this state-ment Is quite simple. Meet Nancy Crocker, a freshman from Henderson. North Carolina. Last month Nancy represented the state at the National 4-H Convention In Chicago. As the state winner in home economics, she was awarded the trip. Once at the convention, however, Nancy was the recipient of another honor — the Montgomery Ward Home Ec-onomics Scholarship. Winning prizes Is nthlng new to Nancy. During her nine years in 4-H work she has won recognition In dressmaking, public speaking and community relations. As an exam-ple of her versatility, she was valedictorian of her high school class, president of Ihe Beta Club and vice-president of the Student Council. And what of her trip to Chi-cago? It waa exciting to say the least. Flying was a new experi-ence and a quite pleasant one. The convention delegates, who represented every state in the Union and several foreign coun-tries, were guests of the Conrad Hilton Hotel. "We were enter-tained at banquets all day long, and for every occasion. Why we even had potatoes for breakfast," she says with a grimace. Nancy was introduced to many promi-nent people. At a banquet for home economic winners, she tat next to the president of Mont-gomery Ward. Aside from attend-ing banquets, she found time to do other things. Nancy attended a symphony concert conducted by Arthur Fiedler of the Boston Pops. She also participated In the church services at the Central Church of Chicago which holds Its services In the tower of the Conrad Hilton. The 4-H Club service Is the larg-est one held every year Much of her time was spent sightseeing. Working with the 4-H Club is a family affair at Nancy's house. Her parents have served as adult leaders and her younger brother Is a 4-H Club member also. When asked if there were other awards she eould win. Nancy explained that there were 3 categories In which college students could par-ticipate: citizenship, leadership, and achievement. We don't doubt that this young lady will take top honors in all three1

The dance was followed by a Christm cert presented in Aycock Auditorium on our campus" in reference to Ideas and beliefs as well as to the value of our Student Government. The point was established that Student Governments which arc based on the Legislative, Judicial and Executive principle are com-parable to our national govern-ment. The vaue of a student gov-ernment of this type Is Irreplace-able to a campus community of any large size. The reason for apathy in student government Is caused by the fact that students do not realize what would result I fthere were no such organiza-tion. A campus with an Honor Policy or code stressing Individual responsibility trains a student to value self-respect and personal honor as well as a responalblllty to those of his campus community. Integration Discussed The Integration question was also a prominently discussed topic. Traditions were seen to play a great role In this problem as well as the responsibility or Irrespon-sibility of slt-inmovemenU. Throe Important questions which came out of the workshop were: "What does It mean to be a stu-dent?" "Whst are our responsibil-ities as students?" and "What about Tradltlona"?

Proving this state-ment Is quite simple. Meet Nancy Crocker, a freshman from Henderson. North Carolina. Last month Nancy represented the state at the National 4-H Convention In Chicago. As the state winner in home economics, she was awarded the trip. Once at the convention, however, Nancy was the recipient of another honor — the Montgomery Ward Home Ec-onomics Scholarship. Winning prizes Is nthlng new to Nancy. During her nine years in 4-H work she has won recognition In dressmaking, public speaking and community relations. As an exam-ple of her versatility, she was valedictorian of her high school class, president of Ihe Beta Club and vice-president of the Student Council. And what of her trip to Chi-cago? It waa exciting to say the least. Flying was a new experi-ence and a quite pleasant one. The convention delegates, who represented every state in the Union and several foreign coun-tries, were guests of the Conrad Hilton Hotel. "We were enter-tained at banquets all day long, and for every occasion. Why we even had potatoes for breakfast," she says with a grimace. Nancy was introduced to many promi-nent people. At a banquet for home economic winners, she tat next to the president of Mont-gomery Ward. Aside from attend-ing banquets, she found time to do other things. Nancy attended a symphony concert conducted by Arthur Fiedler of the Boston Pops. She also participated In the church services at the Central Church of Chicago which holds Its services In the tower of the Conrad Hilton. The 4-H Club service Is the larg-est one held every year Much of her time was spent sightseeing. Working with the 4-H Club is a family affair at Nancy's house. Her parents have served as adult leaders and her younger brother Is a 4-H Club member also. When asked if there were other awards she eould win. Nancy explained that there were 3 categories In which college students could par-ticipate: citizenship, leadership, and achievement. We don't doubt that this young lady will take top honors in all three1 |
