PAGE TWO Idea Student Trustee benior bass president r.O sanyai at the Sheepskin Serebutte last semester cleverly presented a plan wnereby :`,;ouu oi the ciass gut Lund would. be given to a deetignated "corresiwiluing', committee. The function at this committee would be to keep the graduating seniors' auuresses up to date, and from time to time sena them information about affairs of the College and elections of trustees. The College policy now states that alumni may' not vote for trustees until three years have elapsed after graduation. Banyai and other members of the senior class believe that present alumni members of the board of trustees are men who have been out of school for many years and who consequently have lost contact with the needs of the stu dent body. By appropriating funds to maintain a mailing list, it is felt that in three years the present senior class will have enough votes to swing any election of trustees from the alumni and thus put in office younger men who are bet ter acquainted and more sympathetic to student needs. The idea is essentially a good one, but it will be a diffi cult task to maintain a mailing list and to choose and en dorse candidates who would be desirable to everyone in the class. It must be remembered that unless almost everyone in the class votes in a bloc, the plan will fail. Then too, pre vious elections by mail have shown at best about a 20 per cent return. With the class separated and away from the campus, interest in College affairs, unfortunately, is lost by the great majority. The benefits of having someone on the Board of True iees who is intimately acquainted with the needs of the students are obvious, and it is apparent that a young man's fresh ideas will act as an antidote to the stultified conserva tism of many older men on the Board. Why not, then, have a student on the board of trustees? This is not a revolutionary idea, and some schools have adopted it with a great deal of success. One example is the treater University of North Carolina which now has a stu dent on its hoard. 0. Max Gardner Jr., 24-year-old son of the late ambas sador to Great Britain, is both an undergraduate at North Carolina State College and a member of the body that gov erns the school. Gardner's appointment shatters an absurd precedent in American education. It is a slam at the idea that all college students are irresponsible, and recognizes the fact that there are people studying in our schools whose services can he greatly beneficial in administration and policy-making. A student will be able to point out ancient and no ionger-workable policies that have been continued by the university in the face of modern developments that make them outdated. He can express the trend of student opinion in board meetings. No longer will it take years for the board in respond to reasonsble changes favored by those for whom .education is designed.

The Dean Explains TO THE EDITOR: I am glad that D. L. J. Malickson discussed the new traffic light at College and Allen in his letter in last Thursday's Collegian. Perhaps I am the College official who, ac cording to his letter, questioned the amount of protection which a light at that corner would pro vide for student pedestrians. The reason for my question will soon be given its test. The ques tion is: Will student pedestrians at that busy corner be willing to obey the traffic lights strictly? Unless they do, obviously that corner will be more dangerous than It is now. Also, a s Malickson Points out, even traffic lights can not solve that problem made by cars which make turns at that corner. In short, before the new traffic lights can give us the protection which we expect, we all shall have to ,undergo an education"' Program intended to make us all obey the lights and work with them. —A. R. Warnock. Barber Shop Insults TO THE EDITOR: I feel that your story concerning my - ejec tion from Smith's barbershop was well handled and presented both sides of the argument in a fail fashion. However, through this :elter, I should like to pr went a bit more of my side. The gist of the conversation which touched things off was the luuestion as to how any barber is to be certain that the person whose hair he is cutting is not any small part Negro.

An answer was given, though I am sure neither you nor I should care to see it in print. It was not satisfactory. It was stated that I made sev eral insulting remarks, but that the barber could not rememker them. This "lapse of memory" is understandable since I made no such statements. The insults. on the contrary, were directed at me. There are several impartial eye witnesses who can vouch for these statements. The fact that the beaters can no longer stand discussion of the matter without losing their tem pers is an indication that .heir stand cannot be backed by reason.
