The Carolina Journal, Wednesday, May 1, 1968 Page 3 Dell Speaks For Kennedy Here By JIM PATTERSON Mr. Don Dell, a member of Sena tor Robert F. Kennedy’s staff, spoke in the Parquet room Mon day night, April 22 at eight p.m. Mr. Dell is currentlytouringNorth Carolina college campuses. His appearance here was sponsored jointly by The Young Democrats, The History Club, and The Stu dents for Action. After speaking to a facultyless audience of only forty-nine, (countingthose on stage and behind cameras) the speaker circulated through the group at an informal coffee. Shriver in the War on Poverty. He has, however, been with Senator Kennedy’s campaign since the can didacy was officially announced. The young attorney set up the Watts campaign and has had a major role in planning strategy for the Indiana primary. In addition to his political activities, Don DeU is captain of this year’s Davis Cup tennis team. He has traveled with the team around the globe during the past live years. Dell’s speech called for the selection of priorities. The two most important issues lacing the nation today are the war in Viet nam and the rift between the races as R.F.K. see things. Mr. DeU didn’t mention Senator Eugene Mc Carthy by name. He did, however, make clear references to the Minnesota senator. These state ments could leave little doubt as to their direction. “Bob Kennedy called for negotiations with the N.L.F. when it wasn’t the popular thing to do. Bob Kennedy long ago voiced dismay over the inhuman conditions of our ghettos and what these conditions could lead to.’’ Dell pointed to the recent Riot Committee Report, and spoke of the administrations closed mouth atti tude toward it. At an interview following the coffee hour, Mr. Dell was a bit more direct in his remarks. When asked about the opportunist label placed on Senator Kennedy, Don said the term opportunism could describe McCarthy’s candidacy. He said Senator McCarthy istaking advantage of issues he has not previously championed. The pur pose in this being the limelight ing of his own political career. Dell also explained Kennedy’s emphasis on student involvement. The issues in this campaign and all the issues facing the elected president wUl affect young people more than any other portion of our population. The young people of today will soon be involved in run ning our country. They obviously have the future to look to and should be concerned even if they can’t vote. The potential influence of today’s college students in this election is very broad. The young aggressive Mr. Dell closed by thanking the people involved for his being here for the opportunity to speak on Senator Kennedy, the chance to meet the Kennedy people here and at Davidson, and toe few beers at the Rheinland Haus. Don, as he insisted on being addressed, is a Washington attor ney. He received his undergraduate degree from Yale and finished law Wesleyan Takes Academic^ Social Survey school at toe University of Vir- MIDDLETOWN, CONN. - Q.P.) ginia.

The Friday night concert will feature had-core jazz pianist Thelonious Monk, singer Nina Simone, George Wein and his New port All-Stars, the orchestra of Buddy Rich featuring Buddy swing ing on out on toe skins, hip flutist Herbie Mann and his quintet, and that sensational new find from South Africa, Hugh Masekela. Masekela is a soul man who can communicate musically in five African tribal dialects, Dutch, and plain ole Soul. He derives much of his material from toe contemporary scene and gives it a dia logue treatment that can’t be beat. Saturday night will be livened up by golden voice of Gloria Lynn and toe out-of-sight sounds of Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers. The headliners for that long-awaited night will in clude young Gary Burton, a newly arrived vlb man with aU toe tools to be a great. Wes Montgomery will make toe scene with those unbeatable chords from his magic guitar. Wes’ group in cludes pianist Herbie Hancock, whom aU will remember as toe composer of toe score of Antonnioni’s controversial Blow-Up. Also on hand will be toe great Cannonball Adderly, king of toe sax. And, of course, completing toe catalogue of stars will be Mr. Dave (“Take Five’’) Brubeck himself. And, for the first time anywhere, Gerry Mulligan, fresh out of a short period of inactivity, will be handling toe sax chores for toe Brubeck Quartet. This is once in a lifetime lineup, one not to be missed. Tickets are $2.50, 3.50, 4.50 and 5.50 per concert and can be obtained from the Coliseum box office or through Journal editor Rod Smith. In addition, there are still a few patron’s tickets left at $10.00 per night, but they’re going fast.

The 12 -page comprehensive policy statement assesses toe pro blems of University life and sets forth specific organizing prin ciples and programs to “narrow toe gap between things as they are and things as they ought to be.’’ Report: Academic Purpose & Community Life The stidu pf Educational Poli cies and Pn^rams, started more than a year ago, is nearing its conclusion.Faculty-student panels are completing their work and preliminary cost analyses are being made. Toward toe end of toe second semester, toe Board of Trustees wUl be asked for deci sions on recommendations now being formulated. All of us — students, faculty members, administrators — can now look forward to a shared understanding of educational objectives. It is my view, based on a current assessment of pro gress to date, that we can look forward to general support for toe program likely to emerge. The most promising PolicyStudy discussions have been oriented to concepts (broadly stated for pur poses of this report) that relate to freedom, balance, initiative and accountabUity: creased rigidity in curricular selections and requirements start ing in toe freshman year; (2) more normal social balance within toe community and closer faculty-student alliances; (3) greater mobility for both students and faculty members, partially through improved inter- institutional cooperation; (4) course and program innova tions (such as education in the field) to permit students to involve and test themselves in ways im portant to them; (5) methods for supporting criti cal inquiry, through research and scholarship, and in adult human relationships, as toe proper foundation of an intellectual com munity; and (6) toe selection and mainten ance of graduate programs likely to complement and enrich toe undergraduate experience. The Policy Study will not pro duce instant change, but it will point toe way. It also points up toe fact that toe correlate to toe responsible exercise of freedom in academic matters is toe res ponsible exercise of freedom in social matters. A community at odds with itself in either area will thwart itself and its purposes in toe other area. A community charac terized by a general wrongness of tone and loss of focus in social matters defaults opportunities tor close intellectual and personal contacts among its members.
