Lloyd The Tar Heels play what now looks like the big one of the season tonight. What wouldn't be furnished by pitting North Carolina against Duke is ac complished when the fourth team in the nation meets the sixth and tonight's Durham brawl fits both of these speci fications. The Blue Devils have the better record of the two con testants, but their, only loss in 16 games has come against the Tar Heels, who took that one in the Dixie Classic finals by 76-71. Carolina, on the other hand, lost two games in a row early in the season but has since won twelve in a row. A first place position in the Atlantic Coast Conference is the reward to the victor of the battle. Both teams enter Duke Indoor Stadium with 7-0 con ference marks. The loser will drop into third place behind Wake Forest, who has an 8-1 mark. During the examination break, both teams suffered a personnel loss, and that fact could play a decisive role in the game to night. Coach Vic Bubas lost his starting guard Jack Mullen, who has been a key defensiveman in the Duke style of play. Caro lina lost a big man, Ken Mc- Comb, also by way of scholastic trouble. Both teams, however, may have .found., the right men to step into their respective po sitions. . - At Duke, sophomore , .

CHRISTCHURCH, New Zea land (UPI) An unusual heat wave sent temperatures soaring as high as 42 degrees in the Antarctic this week while cold records were being set in the United States. At the U.S. Byrd Station, 500 miles inland and 5,000-feet high, the mercury ranged be tween 28 and 30 degrees, setting an all-time high for the area. Melting snow on the roofs of buildings caused serious leaks. The 42-degree high was re corded by the automatic wea ther station on the Ross Ice Shelf. "It was the highest tempera ture reasonably possible in such a place," Lanterman said. Looked . . . mm Wt:'"""', "- "Ss. i ' 1 V Wit. ' - at .

If he is-not, then the call will likely go to Johnny Frye, a 5-11 pepperpot who has been number six in the Blue Devil lineup this year after being a starter on the 1960 ACC championship five. When Carolina toppled Mary land 63-57 here Thursday night, Coach Frank McGuire pulled sophomore Dieter Krause, a lean 6-5 forward, off the bench to replace, the oft-fouling Dick Kepley. Krause proved himself adopt at McComb's specialty, rebounding, and now looms as the top Tar Heel replacement in the forecourt.

Reporter Reflects On JFK 's Road To Office At Press Meet BY BILL MORRISON" "If I'm old enough to be At tomey General," . Bobby Ken nedy exclaimed, in the Wash ington night club, "I'm old enough to buy beer!" , . riumorousiy reflecting on John Kennedy's road to the presidency, his . administration and the future before him, newsmen Merriman Smith and Relman (Pat) Morin led the Friday morning general meet ing of the 36th Annual News paper Institute. Held in Peabody Hall before a crowd of approximately 200 newspaper men, students and guests, the meeting was mod erated by Sam Ragan of the Raleigh News and Observer and presided over by Institute Vice President Gordon Tomlin son. Begins Discussion Pat Morin, Pulitzer prize winning Associated Press writer, commenced the discus sion with personal reflections on the campaign and election activities of John Kennedy and Richard Nixon. "Kennedy's getting the nomi nation was a greater feat than his getting the presidency," said Morin. s4 1 f J - " - f 3 : , a -' . - - 4 " - it ACC Title The expected sellout crowd will likely be expecting some thing of a repeat performance between, the top individual stars on the tow teams. For Duke, sophomore gunner Art Heyman has been the prodigy on whom the four old hands, Howard Hurt, Carroll Young- kin, Doug Kistler, and Mullen have been leaning on for the scoring leadership. The Long Islander has been hitting better than 23 points a contest, good for second place in the league. Heyman found his toughest adversary in Carolina's Doug Moe, the All-America forward who threw a solid defense over him in the Classic game. Should Heyman fall tonight, both Moe and teammate York Larese stand a chance of climbing the scoring ladder with good out puts. McGuire will have again the problem of choosing a second (Continued on page 3) From the starting point which could be set September 1959, in California, he faced and met opposition from Governor Pat Brown and his subordinates. And his strategy? "At no point did he talk down to his audiences," said Morin. "He never attempted to conceal he was an educated man . . . and he realized from the beginning that his religion was a handicap." Chances To Poll In New Hampshire Kennedy's chances to poll his needed num ber of votes in the primary were much the same as those of a pole jumper with the bar set at 16.6. After polling 42,000 votes, he journeyed to Wisconsin where his religion became an obvious factor. "West Virginia was a sort of make or break affair. After his success, though, there was very little probability he would be denied the Democratic nomi nation," said Morin. "This was the most extraordinary cam paign in history. On the other hand, Kennedy and his group were surprised at the ineptness of Richard Nixon's campaign for several reasons: "He brought President Eisen hower in too late," said Morin. And he never really found an issue , but floundered over a wide range as compared with Kennedy's two or three which he stuck to." TV Debates The television debates? Morin said that Kennedy admitted he never could have won without them. Following Morin was the newspaperman who Moderator Sam Ragan called "the ranking reporter covering the White House," Merriman Smith. Smith, remembered for mak ing "Thank you, Mr. President" a byword, discussed the world and Washington of John Ken nedy and his followers, "The crew cut crowd from Harvard." Era of Change Washington today: "In an era of change, of youth, of activity." Hyannis Port: "Famous for the 'compound,' an expensive housing development." Caroline Kennedy: "She'll make an effective head of TVA." Palm Beach, their play ground: "The high school cafe teria is unusual in that Lester Lanin plays there for lunch."

Press Conference " ' TV press conference: "Gov ernment by Revlon." On a more serious note, Smith delved into other areas of the administration and the role of the President today: "The mark of this administra tion is the sense of so little time to do so much," Smith con tinued. And in the field of personal diplomacy he stated that it seems here to stay "The presi dent can no longer stay behind that big iron fence which sur rounds the White House." After the election, it was ask ed, what of the loser, what of Richard M. Nixon: "Nixon's future," Smith said, iica vviui .wAcictici. xx. lie lo relected strongly then he would appear to be head of the Re publican party."

In its first session of the new semester, the law-making body resolved itself into the committee of the whole, a parliamentary device permitting informal unrecorded discussion, in order to examine closely the campus judiciary activities. In order to study the matter thoroughly, Speaker of the House Bob Sevier dissolved the body into the committee of the whole, and a lengthy discussion ensued. Action on the proposed new Student Constitution was tabled indefinitely.
