Pass 0 Get No The pass-fail grading system was adopted by three North Carolina universities and one Tennessee university this fall. Allowing students to take one non-major course per semester, the pass-fail program has been initiated at the University of North Carolina, North Carolina State University, Wake Forest University and the University of the South at Sewanee, Tenn. Only juniors and seniors are eligible to enroll in the program at Wake Forest and Sewanee. At UNC and N. C. State any undergraduate may participate. Pass-fail course hours will be counted toward graduation re quirements at UNC, but the grade will not affect the grade point ratio if the course is passed. However, a failing grade will be figured into the overall grade point ratio. At N. C. State, the student's performance in the pass-fail course will not affect his grade point ratio, but a passing grade 'On Other niversi4 Come Ui WINSTON-SALEM, N. C. Three Wake Forest University football cheers may soon be sen tenced to death, according to Old Gold and Black, the univer sity's student newspaper. The Student Affairs Commit tee at the university has been asked to decide whether the cheers are acceptable are unac ceptable for the Wake Forest student body. The cheers under fire are "Rip 'em up, tear 'em up, give 'em hell, Deacs," "Beat Dook, Dam mit," and "Kill, Kill, Kill." The question of the accept ability of the cheers grew out of ARE AL MAST 2-Hou~ irts ExpE Expert DI Monthly Chi Storage for Out-c Conveni< Blossom S LEOI Plant: 1908 Blos at 5 Poin Cold SI r Fail, Grade will allow the course credit to be counted toward his graduation requirements. Grades in the pass-fail courses at Sewanee and Wake Forest will neither affect students' point ratios nor be counted as credits toward graduation. Student reaction to the new plan has been enthusiastic on all four campuses. Dr. David Smiley, professor of history at Wake Forest, said there are dangers in overspecial ization and advantages in a wide variety of courses. "Students o u g h t to learn something in somebody else's green pasture," Smiley said. He proposed that grades of "satis factory" and "unsatisfactory" be given. At UNC, Student Body Vice President Jed Dietz described the pass-fail system as "an at tempt to get the student out from under the pressure of quizzes and allow him to get down to what is supposed to be the real purpose of education learning." y Cheers zder Fire a letter recently received by University P r e s i d e n t James Ralph Scales. An unidentified alumnus of the university, who is now a physician in Durham, N. C., pro tested in the letter that the three cheers Wake Forest students used at the North Carolina State University game were not in good taste for a Christian insti tution of higher education. Scales turned the letter over to Dean of Men Mark H. Reece, who informed chief cheerleader Dave Pugh of its contents. He also told Pugh that the matter would go before the SAC for consideration and decision.

Many contemporary collegians, scrambling along egghead trail, miss some of the best of life and a man, 40 years a profes sor, thinks it's a pity. They don't do much star watching or daydreaming at raindrops softly dimpling the surface of a puddle. The pace is so swift, the pres sures so many that there's no time either to contemplate an ant hill-or a bird pecking at a squirming worm. And quietness, that passes them by. If the professor, Edwin L. Peterson, of the University of Pittsburgh, had his way every college in America would have a course called Quietness I and Quietness II.
