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.

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. Since dis
-I:rimination does take place, that
seems to me R fair question, and

it seems reasonable to expect a
satisfactory answer from those
discriminating. 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.
