Encampment Ideas on Politics The Student Encampment workshop on poli tical parties suggested a worthwhile plan for ruling the affiliation of candidates for office. The present All-University Elections Code stipulates that the office of All-University presi dent shall rotate each year between fraternity and independent men. It also stipulates that no More than three of the five offices which hold An-University Cabinet seats and are elected in the spring shall be either fraternity or inde pendent. The clique chairman of each party meets with the Elections Committee Chairman to de cide which offices, other than the All-University president will be fraternity and which will be independent. If the clique chairmen are not in agreement then a coin flip is used, and the winner chooses the affiliation for any of the tour offices. The loser may choose for any other office, and if there is still disagreement. a sec ond coin flip is used to decide who shall make the first choice. The present suggestion from Encampment is that a permanent plan be originated for alter nating the elected officers, both spring and fall, which hold Cabinet posts. The Encampment report suggests that the All-University offices alternate each year with the president and secretary-treasurer to be of the same affiliation and the vice president of the opposite affiliation. The president of each class will always be of the opposite affiliation except for freshmen. They will be set up in the following manner: They will be set up in the °Rowing' manner: Freshinanall officers independent. Sophomore—president fraternity, vice presi dent independent. Successful Customs: Up to Upperclassmen Inauguration of the Freshman. Customs pro gram yesterday brought out a great deal of good spirit, on the part of both freshmen and upperclassmen. Traditional - first-day" singing and_ cheering on the steps of Schwab Audi torium and at other spots around campus waxed long and loud, as - eager sophomores rounded up scores of not-too-unwilling neophytes. If the constructive spirit embodied in yester day's opening of customs prevails throughout the entire period of freshman regulations, the program will indeed be classified as a resound ing success. The "fresh" will have become transformed from the 2700 individuals who ar rived a week ago as graduates of hundreds of high schools, into a united and integral part of the University cominunit. But, in past years, the customs program has • begun to lag during the first days of the second week of its duration, after its novelty to upper classmen has worn off to a great extent. Al ready, sophomores, juniors and seniors have displayed a certain unwillingness to uphold Safety Valve Smooth Registration I wish to take this opportunity to thank all persons who had any part in registration last week. I have witnessed registrations operations for many semesters and believe that the Fall Semester 1956 registration was carried out with the least confusion in many years. I commend the facu?ti•, staff and students for theU . co- operation. The efficiency of the registration procedure depends upon the thoughtful planning by Harry Sperber_ Robert Koser and our office and many others. But the smoothness of the operation de- pends upon the cooperation of the deans, depart ment heads, advisers, and (probably the most important) the students. To register 13,000 students in three and one half days requires rather strict following, of University regulations. One seemingly small mistake may cause unknown difficulty for stu dents, faculty. and staff; and extra expense to the University. Those in responsible positions for registra tion believe that the registration just completed Weiner to Give Talk On Piltdown Forgery To Be Open To The Public BusAd Course Openings Dr. J. S.

This system has many advantages over the system now used. It seems desirable to set up a method of choosing candidates which is not done almost entirely by chance. Also, we can not see any reason why clique chairmen should be given the responsibility of deciding which affiliation should be given to particular offices. The new Plan would give political parties and students interested in running for office more advanced notice, and better enable them to plan and groom for office. Although it was suggested by some students at Encampment that it is unnecessary to have any plan regulating affiliation and that it would be acceptable to allow independents and fra ternity men to run against each other, we feel this is totally undesirable. Both groups provide adequate material for student leaders in any field. It is an asset to the University that the two groups can work cooperatively together with little disagreement. We see no reason to cause any unnecessary friction or competition where it could only lead to a less effective stu dent governing body. The plan suggested at Encampment, if adopt ed. would raise the quality and plane of politi cal elections and campaigns. It might, at the same time. depress somewhat the prestige of political party leaders. This would be wise. We hope that Cabinet and Elections Com mittee will give 'serious consideration to the Encampment suggestion. their part of the program wholeheartedly by refusing to learn what the freshmen are sup posed to know so they may qualifiedly question and lead them. Customs board has taken a number of meas ures this year to promote a more spirited and durable period in the phase of freshman orienta tion. The date customs will end has not been dis closed: a tug-of-war contest, which made its debut last year, is again planned; and an oath all freshmen are required to learn has been added. But, if the Freshman Customs program fails this year, or falters in the accomplishment of its purposes, blame can be laid only at the doorsteps of the upperclassmen. The "frosh" proved their spirit at Orientation Week song and cheer rallies. Now it is up to sophomores, juniors and seniors to pnive theirs by partici pating in the program wholeheartedly and en forcing freshman regulations with complete fairness for the duration of customs. —Bob Franklin Gazette Today CHRISTIAN SCIENCE ORGANIZATION, 7 p.m.. 104 Chapel DAILY COLLEGIAN Business Candidates, 7:30 p.m., 316 Sparks DAILY COLLEGIAN Business Office Staff, G:St) p.m., Colle g ian office DAt LY COLLEGIAN' Circulation Staff. 6:46 p.m..

ROBERTS Associated Press News Analyst I have just returned from two weeks in North Carolina and Virginia. Many people in both states. were greatly dis turbed. They were disturbed for different reasons, all centering around the Supreme Court ru in the public schools. Some are less disturbed than others. These are the ones who say that integration is immoral, unsanitary, unnecessary, that it can't work, and that they would! not permit it to work if it could. Their minds are immune to ei ther pressure or change. At the other end of the spec trum are the white liberals who believe integration must take place here and now, that a law is a law and cannot be adminis tered by degrees, and the like thinking National Assn. for the Advancement of Colored People. In the middle are the most ser iously disturbed. They fall into many classifications. There are those whose inborn fear of the prejudice against the Negro conflict with a like wise inborn respect for the teachings of Christianity. There are those who realize that economic and educational discrimination against the Negro act as serious brakes on the eco nomic progress of the South, of which they are very proud. They want to see the Negro progress as a consumer. But they want the educational and social steps of that progress to begin with some body else's children. I saw a young women who was reared in the public school system of New York City, where tolera tion of minorities is a necessity of daily living. She does not be lieve that one man is superior or inferior to another because of race, color or creed, or because of the previous servitude of his ancestors. But now she lives in a little Virginia town, and she does not want Negroes, who would be in the majority, admitted to the 'room with her second-grader, or with her 4-year-old when he goes. The little Negroes, she fears, are too wise and too uninhibited about the facts of life. Their par ents, she fears, are unprepared for participation in the Parent- Teacher Assn. and too prone to follow the leadership of outside agitators, unfamiliar with local I situations. When told that it will come some day, regardless, and asked how the Negro parents of that day are to be prepared unless it is begun with the children now, she looks sad, as though she wished for the accomplishment without the prenatal pains. This wishful waiting attitude TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER 18. 1956 by Bibler ing against racial segregation is strong throughout the South today. North Carolina has just passed a measure, and Virginia is con sidering similar ones, by which it is hoped the Supreme Court de cision can be vitiated, for a while_ Both states .are extremely proud of fine public school systems. But they are working on plans by which public schools, threatened with integration through federal court orders, might be closed in favor of state subsidies for pupils in private schools. Some proponents of such measures express the hope and belief that no such thing will happen. Some even admit they are stalling. But Chapel Hill, seat of North Carolina's liberal state university. was the only commutity with enough disturbed people to vote against it.
