By BILL MORRISON "We have pressed no charges and at present we do not wish to testify," stated cheerleaders Al Roper and Tim McCoy in a letter to the DTH Thursday. Discussing their position in the Art Heyman trial which is scheduled for 10 a.m. Monday in Durham Recorder's Court, the pair wanted it understood that they apologized for any strained relations which they might have caused between Carolina and Duke. The trial grew out of a war rant listing both as prosecut ing witnesses, which was served on Heyman Wednesday in the Durham Police Department. The warrant charged the Duke basketball player with "assault and battery with hands and fists" on a Carolina student (Roper). The warrant for Heyman's arrest was signed by former Assistant Solicitor of Durham County Superior Court Black- well M. Brogden. Brogden Said Brogden said that he wa; a witness to the incident which reportedly saw Heyman strike Roper on the back of the head during halftime at the Caro lina-Duke game held last Satur day night in Durhma. (It might be noted that this was just one of two incidents involving Heyman during the game. The second occurred when a fracas broke out between the two teams during the last nine seconds of the game.) Neither Heyman nor Duke Coach Vic Bubas have com mented on the incident and As sistant Duke Coach Fred Sha bel has said' that there would be "no comment" at this time. In their letter to the DTH, Roper and McCoy explained their decision: Boys Apologize "We should like to apologize to the students and faculty of the University of North Caro lina, as well as of Duke Uni versity, for any part which we may have played in the recent activities which seem to have impaired relations between the two schools. "It was stated that we had instigated a law suit against Mr. Heyman, charging him with assault and battery. We should like to make the point quite clear, that we were merely asked to serve as witnesses for the incident. We have pressed no charges and at present we do not wish to testify. (Their em phasis. Ed.) "In spite of the fact that we do not condone Mr. Heyman's activities, this should not be a sufficient reason to seriously impair relations between the two schools, or to degrade the names of the schools, Mr. Hey man, or ourselves." -'Ants 'In Pants9 Problem Solved By IDC Action By WAYNE KING Ants in the IDC pants prompted action by the body's members Wednesday night as a light-hearted resolution con cerning the dormitory posts comprised a major order of business.

The 29-year-old Winston-Salem native is playing the male lead in the Carolina Playmakers' production of "The Visit" in Chapel Hill February 15-19, and he says the second act of the award-winning play presents him with "the most difficult emotional quality" he's ever tried to sustain on a stage. For Trotman this is no small statement. The young actor-designer has appeared in scores of productions throughout the country, including leading roles opposite Boris mder Allotment Wou grad.

Publisher Raps 'Wrong Ideas 9 BY MICHAEL ROBINSON Bernard Kilgore, president and publisher of The Wall Street Journal,, spoke forcefully on the widespread "wrong ideas" that the public and some newspapermen have about American newspapers. . Speaking last Wednesday in Howell Hail on "News- naner Facts and Fancies 1961." Kileore stated that a x x t great deal of damage has been done by the misconception that there are only a few great HIS LIFE ENDANGERED by his fellow townsmen, Anton Schill (played by William Trotman of Winston-Salem) realizes lhc hopelessness cf his situation in 'The Visit," open ing Wednesday, February 15, for a five-day run in ihc Play makers Theatre. Tickets arc available for Wednesday, Thurs day, and Sunday evenings from the Playmakers Business Office, 214 Abernclhy Hall (next to the Scuttlebutt) and at Ledbetter-Pickards in downtown Chapel Hill. Standing room only is available for Friday and Saturday evenings. Curtain timo is 8:30 p.m. Karloff in "Arsenic and Old Lace" at Anchorage, Alaska, and with Eugenie Leontovich in "The Cave Dwellers" at Hous ton, Texas. He calls his current role of Anton Schill in "The Visit" one of the best he's ever had. Play 'Masterpiece' "The play is a masterpiece in a clever, terrifying sort of irony," Trotman says. The play, written by Fried rich Duerrenmatt, is the story of a fabulously wealthy old lady who returns to the poverty stricken town of her youth for a frightening purpose to take the life of her girlhood lover, played by Trotman. But her revenge goes deeper than this, for she wants this man, now a respectable citizen whom she still strangely loves, to be killed by his fellow towns men and friends, who had ridi culed her as a girl. "Each scene bulids terrifically to what is really a horrifying climax, and a disturbing real ization," Trotman says. Receives Award The Duerrenmatt play receiv ed the Best Foreign Play of 1958 award when presented on Broadway with Alfred Lunt and Lynne Fontanne in the leading roles. A 1953 graduate of the Uni versity of North Carolina, Trot man returned to the University this year to complete work on his master's degree. But during his time away from the University, Trotman was busy in theatre work all over the country. He studied acting with Stella Adler, in structor of such well-known personalities as Marlon Brando, and at the American Theatre Wing in New York. Trotman Appears Trotman has already ap peared in one show this season, the Playmakers' production of Dylan Thomas' "Under Milk Wood." In previous seasons, he acted with the Playmakers in such shows as "Death of a Sales man," "The Crucible," and "Ar senic and Old Lace." "The University teaches good, sound basic techniques in thea tre that can be used anywhere," Trotman contends after working in theatres all over the United States. "The Playmakers also teach another good lesson that one should learn early if he is going into the theatre, and that is hu mility for the work you're doing. This is extremely important." Trotman is using these les sons now in preparation for his role in "The Visit." A local critic stated that Trotman "has never done anything but distin guish himself on the Playmak ers' stage." Appearing opposite Trotman as the old lady, Claire Zacha nassian, is Mary Jane Wells of Durham, a veteran actress with the Durham Theatre Guild and the Playmakers. Also in the cast are Gordon Clark of Fuquay-Varina; Jerry Walker, Norfolk, Va.; Johnny Meadows, Jacksonville; Ed Rob bins, Greensboro; Glenn Ver non, Pritchard, Ala.; Dwight Hunsucker, Albemarle; Debbje Ives, Warwick, N.

"This emphasis on .size does harm to the growth of smaller newspapers and discourages talented young people from joining them. Noboay is in a position to judge the greatness of a newspaper because no one can be familiar with all the newspapers in the different sec tions of the country." Kilgore, wearing a c onserva- tive dark suit, but speaking in an "off the cuff" home-spun manner, said that contrary to the trend in most other indus tries, newspapers in future dec ades would not be looking for people with specialized train ing, such as science writers, medical writers or business writers, who take graduate work in these fields. . Need For Journalists "The need," he said, "will be for talented journalists. A re porter is specialized enough as it is. Specialized training can be acquired on the job. "We have the biggest market for business writers, but we are not in the market for busi ness writers." What do newspapers really need? "There is a need for newsmen who understand local govern ment and community problems. The local editors needs these tough problems in public affairs handled by talented men and women who can cope with them. "The primary need is for all around administrators on the editorial side. That is the area they should aim for. There is lots of room for talented people at the top. Also there are many opportunities ' for talented edi torial writers who can write and think in depth." Attacking popular newspaper stereotypes, Kilgore said week ly newspapers are not humorous miniature newspapers. Very often they are the biggest money-makers in a town and put out a top quality paper that meets vital need in the community. "Another newspaper myth," Kilgore said, "was the talk about big city papers becoming national papers and submerg i n g the smaller suburban papers. "This is not true. In the past decade, as cities have overflowed their populations to the suburbs, it is the suburban papers that have grown at a much greater rate than the larger dailies." library rwi ff it LfrTk II n n ti -irn Ts The Advisory Budget Commission yesterday presented the General As sembly with a record-breaking $1.5 bil lion biennium budget, which included a bond issue for a Carolina student union undergraduate library. Gov. Terry Sanford addressed the legislature after the budget report had been presented. He indicated that he will ask the legislature for additional funds for schools in addition to what the Com mission recommended and is prepared to recommend tax increases, if neces sary, to raise the money. It was recommended by the Commis sion that the Consolidated University and the nine smaller state-supported colleges be appropriated $12 million for teachers' salaries, scholarships, etc.; (the C.U. individually) $13.1 million for capital improvements; and an estimated $2,200,000 to be raised by increased tui tion costs for students. Former Gov. Luther Hodges helped the Commission prepare its budget report, in addition to appointing the members of the Commission. Gov. Sanford sat in on Com mission meetings from the timo of his election to the present. , Commission Recommends - The Commission recommend ed (only the Assembly has the power to appropriate) that $1,- 622,000 of the money needed to build the combination stulcrt union-undergraduate library zl UNC be raised by a . bond issue. The bond issue would have to be passed by, first, the Assembly and then, the general populace. The remaining million dol lars for the student union would be self-liquidating bonds. Increased Tuition Tuition would be increased for both in-state and out-of- state students, if the legislature accepts the Commission's recommendation. North Carolina students would pay $25 a year more (making a years tuition cost 3ioj; ana out-of-staters would pay $1C0 year more (making a year's" tuition cost $600). C.U. officials, notably Presi dent William Friday, in the past have opposed tuition cost rais ing for North Carolina stu dents and worked to keep the hikes down for out-of-staters. Duke, UNC Clash In Hockey Match Duke and Carolina will clash tonight at 3:00 in the finale of their three-game hockey series. The hockey match will be held at the Holiday Ice Rink on highway 70. Duke won the first match of the series, 3-1. Carolina took the second by 5-1. This will be the deciding game. French Tragedy Is On Flick List "An overwhelming success," was the term used by Warren Williams, GM Films Committee chairman, to de scribe the reaction to his group's decision to screen three showings of "Brigadoon" last Saturday night instead of the usual two. In light of this success Williams went on to add that in the future the committee will continue to add extra Free Flick showings about three times a month for films which show indications of having a large popular appeal. An adventure story, a war drama, and a French tragedy highlight this week-end's Free Flick entertainment. Tonight's film is "The Treas ure of Sierra Madre," starring Humphrey Bogart and Walter Huston. The story of a gold prospect ing trip in Mexico, this is the stark, hard-hitting account of three American derelicts who bring a violent and damaging fate on themselves through their mutual greed and distrust. John Huston, who directed the film, was awarded an Oscar for this study of human rela tionships. Tomorrow's Film The dramatization of James Jones' powerful prize-winning novel, "From Here to Eternity," is tomorrow's film. The winner of eight Academy Awards, this film stars Burt Lancaster, Deborah Kerr, Frank Sinatra, and Donna Reed. This week's Sunday Cinema presentation is "The Strange Ones," a study of lives beset by fire and confusion. "The Treasure of Sicrre Madre" and "The Strange Ones' will be shown in Carroll Hall at 7:30 and 9:30 p.m. "From Here to Eternity" will be shown at 6:30, 8:30 and 10:30 p.m.
