(My Morris chair, incidentally, was given to me by the Philip Morris Company, makers of Marlboro Cigarettes. They are great hearted folk, the makers of Marlboro Cigarettes, as millions of you know who have enjoyed their excellent cigarettes. Only from bountiful souls could come such mildness, such flavor, such filters, such pleasure, as you will find in Marlboros For those who prefer crushproof boxes, Marlboro is available in crushproof boxes. For those who prefer soft packs, Marlboro is available in soft packs. For those who prefer to buy their cigarettes in bulk, please contact Emmett R. Sigafoos, friendly manager of our factory in Richmond, Virginia.) But I digress. I was saying that in order to know the true facts about sorority rushing, one must go into the field and investigate. Consequently, I went last week to the Indiana College of Spot Welding and Belles Lettres and interviewed several million ooeds, among them a lovely lass named Gerund McKeever. (It is, incidentally, quite an interesting little story about how she came to be named Gerund. It seems that her father, Ralph T. McKeever, loved grammar better than any thing in the world, and so he named all his children after parta of speeh. In addition to Gerund, there were three girls named Preposition, Adverb, and Pronoun, and one boy named Dative Case. The girls seemed not to be unduly depressed by their names, but Dative Case, alas, grew steadily more morose andl was finally found one night dangling from a participle. After this tragic event, the father abandoned his practice of gram matical nomenclature, and whatever children were subsequently born to him-eight in all-were named Everett.) But I digress. I was interviewing a lovely coed named Gerund McKeever. "Gerund," I said, "were you rushed by a sorority?" "Yes, mister," she said, "I was rushed by a sorority." "Did they give you a high-pressure pitch?" I asked. "Did they use the hard sell?" "No, mister," she replied. "It was all done with quiet dignity. They simply talked to me about the chapter and the girls for about three minutes and then I pledged." "Al1y go'odness I" I saidl. "Three minutes is not very long for a sales talk !" "It is when they are holding you under water, mister," saidl Geirnd. "Well, Gerund," I said, "how do you like the house?" "I like the house fine, mister," she replied. "But I don't live there. fIfortunately, they pledged more girls than they have r(oomI for, so the(y are sleep)ing somie of us in the bell tower." "Isn't that rather noisy?" I said. "'Only on the (juarter-hour,'' saidl Gerund. "Well, Geruind," I said, "it has certainly heen a pleasure talk "I.ikewise, mist er,'' she said', m d with many' a laugh andl cheer we' wen't our separate ways she to the camnpaniile, I to the Mlorris chair. @ 3963 Max Hhausmm.

Culture BY REGINA GALGANO Staff Writer There have been many com plaints from students that the Field House is not a suitable place to hold the cultural events which the University sponsors. The problem, this week, is whether or not the University needs a larger auditorium. What do you think? The following stu dents have stated their views on the subject. Roger lickman, Senior: We definitely need an auditorium. The Field House was built to be used as a gym, not an auditorium in which to present string quartets and the like. Carolina is building a better basketball team, and I think that they should have a place to them selves where there will be no in terru)tions in practice. Joe Guggenheimer, Junior: I think that I am missing a very important part of my education by not attei(ding special programs, such as the Artists Series. I re fuse to go to these functions as long as the University has such an1 inadequate place for the series to be presented. If ('arolina had a decent audi torium, I believe that more stu dents would attend these pro grais. Serious music just cannot be presented in a gymnasium and have the same effect that it would in a modern auditorium. There is only one solution, and that is to build one . . . and in the v-ery near future, too. flumie Laub, Sophomore: We do need one! The acoustics in the Field I ouse are horrible. The bleachers are very un cUmfortable, too. F.very time I enter the Field House I feel like watching a basketball game. Just the nature of the building is not very con ducive to listening to serious music. Since Carolina is going to build new dorms, I think that they should build a good auditorium. The present situation is appalling, and should he corrected as soon as Iossible. Joel Gottlieh. Freshman: I be lieve that a new auditorium would make such events as the Artists Series much more pleasant for Carolina students. However, I think that the funds required to COM PAN I ES Bill Pigot of Pacific Northwest Be andl the other young engineers like Companies throughout the country communications service in the wc businesses of a growing America. L BELL TELEPHONE OnHar construct such a building could be used for more important things such as--more dorms, a parking lot, and a new history building. Red Smith, Junior: Whenever such a proposal is put forth there are those who would come for ward with their petty list of griev ances, such as the money should be put to better use. Some would sanction the building of more ...~. .... *' Dubl Damis m aId a I 'ARKING LOT. flowever, the need for an audi toriurm is very acute. There is no worthivr proiject on (od's green -arth. Ruthie lenderson, Freshman: It would be nice to have a decent place for Carolina functions. But, I think that we need other things mwre, at the present. The parking situation is vevy bad. and more 10rms are need(ed. Ifowever. if 1hese ither thiigs can be accoi pflished then we shiud build one. Tommy Wagner. Sophomore: Yez We definitely need a new Alditoiu.n Carolina is a fairly large school. aid is too big to hold meetings and such in the Field Ifouse. It seenis almost a sin to put the Artists Series in the Field House. Carolina can afford to uild one. and should! Without it, the school prestige is lower than it should be. With it, the prestige woul rise, and the students would have a place that they would be prtaud ti show to their- parents and friends. It is very embarrasing to I Telephone Company, him in Bell Telephone help bring the finest rl(d to the homes and COMPANIES iiee.<m a - a PlMMP d dSeats? take your parents Io the Field Ifouse and tell them tlhat that is where the hcultural pograms are pr-esel ted. June Turner, Freshman: I be lieve that Carolina should embark ol such a project inmmediately. I don't think that t rain whistles sound very good in the middle of a concert. If the concert were sup posed to have a train whistle in the middle of it. the orchestra could simulate one very, very easily. The bleachers mak,-e sitting for long periods very uncomfortabe. When one is unticomfortable, he concert is less enjoyable. I greatly enjoy good music, and I think that it should be presented in the right way . . . not in a gym! Cathie Dutton, Freshman: I think we do metd ait auditorium. The one we now have (Drayton 11all) is too smal for a school this size. We need anft auditorium witih a stage and dranma facilities. I am interested in drama, and think Carolina should -Iie a good plice itn which to present p1lays. The ussell lous, auditorium is too crowded onl Tlursday nlights. How can one M V' ;( nt>v; sitting on uncomfortable chairs? We also nwed a pl'ace to have the Greek W\'ek concerts. since we can't have them at Dreher anymore. 4aihie Duttont Peter Mauer, Sophomore: I he lieve the University nieeds a build inl that c(mub serve as a basket ball court. an audit oriun. and s4 a theater. The latter being AS('d b y th, act inmg groups on -mnipils. st colleges and Uni 6ersi:ies have a building' such as his, and I know bat Carolina sOUld benefit by one. Eddie Roberts, Sophomore: We Wed a new auditdorium so that we 'aft bri1ng progr'amts of greater -ontscetence to Carolina, and he tibe to seat all the people. The' Fi Hos is fine~ for' pep allies, but not ftr chamtiber' nad needts t he cturtital atmosphere ibhl such anta adi:or(ium would tiraitt. Culture is a nte(essity of ife and .should be inluded( in the urft (h1an of any itin!st ituition of ntn'\edge, suchI as thbe Untiver'sit v Joel G ottieb Iliub Ia ),' ~i Freshman: An audi oriumfl is oneIt of the first things 'arohna1, shold bii d. The C aro nia ( ommttunty would( pr ofit -r'eat ly by it, It is a disgrace to have the frt ists~ Series pertforim in that -y., known as a FieldIIHouse. IfI I ever' biought my parents or girl to Carolina, I'd like at nice lace, one to be prioud of, to show temn. D)efiniitely, we fteed( a ne(w udlitorium.t Gtayle Holland, F"reshman:I tink ('arolina need(s a new audi triumit mtore than anything else at he pr'esent time. A schtool as irge as the University really uight to have a place to accommo ate all the people, Drayton Hall not big enough, and the Field louse should really be used as a vmnasium.
