Summer Science Program Pays Off By MAT FRIEDMAN Carolina's summer science pro gram for outstanding high school students has been paying off for the University as well as the par ticipants. According to Dr. S. P. Knight, director of the program, uL the 5a students, who took SCIENCE NEWS part in the first program in 1961 are now attending UNC. Of these, lour are Morehead Scholars. Dr. Knight says the figures are also Very good for the 1962 class. The program certainly is at tracting good science students to the University," he said. "We don't make any effort to recruit arines! The Marine Officer Selection Team will visit the campus to sign up applicants for the Of ficer Candidate Course as well as the Platoon Leaders Class. The OCC is designed for seniors cr recent graduates. PLC offers a second lieutenants commission after graduation if two six-weeks summer training courses have been completed during candid ate's school term. The selection team will be lo cated in Cerrard Hall, February M strial Is Declarec Mi JACKSON, Miss. (UPD-An all-white jury as unable to reach a decision today after try-in- for 11 hours to decide if Byron De La Beck with assassinated Negro leader Medgar Evers, and a mistrial was declared. We could stay here a week and never reach a verdict," juryman F. E. Plummer told Circuit Judge Leon Hendrick who declared the mistrial. It came after 11 hours and one minute of actual deliberation in the case, the most cele brated racial slaying in the nation since 1955 when two white men were acquitted in 67 min utes of the "wolf whistle" slaying of a Negro youth named Emmett Till. Hendrick will be responsible for setting a new trial date for the 43-year-old fertilizer sales man who told the jury during the 11-day trial he believed in segregation "just like I believe in God." 1 Hendrick said he would set a new trial date Louis Armstrong and the Shirel les will be featured at the annual Winter German's Concert to night in Memorial Hall. The concert, scheduled for 7:45, stars two internationally-known ' groups who each have million sale records to their credit. Armstrong and his band are internationally known, and his many hits and films have made him the favorite of millions. Appearing with Armstrong will be the Shirelles, whose record ings have consistently been among the top in the nation. They are kown for such hits as "Dedi cated to the One I Love," "Thing of the Past," "Baby It's You" md "Soldier Boy." Watts Carr, president of the German's Club, yesterday an nounced that the concert was sold out. He said that tickets left over from the New Christy Min strel show at Fall German's, can celled due to the death of Presi dent Kennedy, would not be hon ored at the door and those hold ing tickets should contact Sammy Thompson or Carr at 968-9086 or 929-2653. The German's Club, composed of 14 UNC fraternities, will hold a dance in Durham after the performance. the students but I think it is just natural for them to want to go here after a summer in the pro gram." Dr. Knight points out that in addition to stimulating' the stu dents to pursue a career in science, it helps some to realize that their interests lie elsewhere. "Some come to the program," he says, "thinking they want to go into science, but find out science is just not their dish." A $34,500 award from the Na tional Science Foundation will provide a research boon to the Department of Chemistry. It will finance the purchase of a "para magnetic resonance spectromet er," which according to Dr. H. Crockford, "will find application in many of the fields of research in the department. Dr. Henry H. Dearman will direct the purchase and installation of the instrument. Some of the top people in the field of chemistry, both from UNC and other schools, are among the lecturers scheduled for the Sixth Summer Institute for College Chemistry Students to be held here June 8-July 17. Among the visiting lecturers will be Ger hart Friedlander of the Brook haven National Laboratory, one of the top names in radiochem istry; and Leo Schubert, an autho rity on the history and philosophy of science from American Univer- versity in Washington, D. C. The program, designed for col lege and junior college teachers whose departments do not have major research programs, will help bring the participants abreast of the more recent advances in chemistry. It will include lec tures on various branches of chemistry and will include in struction in laboratory technique ranging from instrumental analy sis to glass blowing. Last sum mer, 32 teachers attended, includ ing one from Rajshahi University in East Pakistan and one from Mexico. In addition, 17 states in the union were represented. i mmm mm r - 7 1 - mm pX y t "j u h $s ) lUE SHIRELLES Cuban Water H-Hot From UPI Reports The Cuban propaganda appar atus opened up full blast Friday as U. S. Senate Democratic and Republican leaders were joining in a declaration that the United States will not be pushed or parched out of the n aval base at Guantanamo. As Cuban propaganda groups joined in denouncing the U. S. for "piracy," U. S. senators joined in strong support of a firm stand in Cuba. The controversy arose over the arrest of ' Cuban fishing vessels, ; accused of poaching in American waters. Castro has turned off the water supply for Guantana mo, insisting that the prisoners be returned before the supply is restored. Democratic leader Mike Mans field, (Mont.), said, "It is ob vious that Castro wants us out or Guantanamo and it is obvious that he is not going to make it any easier for us to stay. "It is equally obvious that we have no intention of being pres sured out."

One juror told a reporter as he left the court house: "It was just impossible; we never got anywhere near a unanimous decision." The jury was reported to have taken about 20 ballots after receiving the case Thursday. It returned the verdict at 11:30 a.m. (CST). Beckwith was charged with slaying Evers, Mississippi field secretary for the National As sociation for the Advancement of Colored People, last June 12. Evers was cut down by a high powered rifle as he, started to enter his home here after attending a civil rights meeting. Dist. Atty. William Waller, the prosecutor, received the verdict calmly.

By CURRY KIRKPATRICK I The Wake Forest doll you i wind it up and it beats Dean Smith comes into Woollen Gym j today, and, as usual, its rag : gedy andy appearance is deceiv ing. For when the Deacons play UNC, they are not a rag doll. They are more of an iron giant, ' and in the 2:00 regional TV show they will be aiming for a seventh straight victory over Carolina under its young tutor, . Smith. The Atlantic Coast Confer ence is a "home court" league, and Wake is not a particularly good road club, but this has not s prevented today's visitors from defeating UNC in Chapel Hill the last two years. This, in addition to three vic tories in Winston-Salem and one in last year's ACC tourney semi final (56-55), has had Carolina fans gnashing their teeth and shrinking in horror at the mere mention of Bones McKinney and crew. But today is something else, and UNC just cannot imagine another loss at the hands of the hated Deacons. Especially when the team has had such a fine practice period this week. "Fv never witnessed kids more dedicated than we were the last few days,' says Smith. "We are ready to play one of our best games." If the television aspect means , anything, nobody will win. UNC has lost twice on the tube to Duke by 20 and to VPI by two (in two overtimes) while Wake looked like it was at a wake in its only appearance before the regional audience a humiliat-87-61 loss to Clemson in which the Deacons made just six second-half field goals.

Lawler Asks Boycot Of Heated Battle In SL By HUGH STEVENS And JOHN GREENBACKER Student Legislature was unable to reach a decision on student civil rights demonstrations at its Thursday night session. A heavily amended version of a bill by Borden Parker (UP) was cut down by the 10:45 automatic adjournment rule when the bill's supporters were unable to mus ter the necessary votes to con tinue debate. The Student Legislature Hall was packed with spectators who watched partisan votes and par liamentary entanglements domi nate a heated three-hour session. Parker's slightly amended bill, sent to the floor without recom mendation by the Ways and Means Committee, was the found ation for an amendment battle between SP and UP members. The bill strongly condemned student participation in many loc-r al demonstrations as being "will ful, premeditated, and persistent violation of the laws established by the community." The bill also called for Honor Council trials of those students -arrested in Chapel Hill, sit-ins. - The amendment battle followed the failure of the SP to bring a substitute motion to the floor for consideration. Neal Jackson, Ways and Means Committee chairman, told the body early in the session that a motion to pass the bill out of committee favorably had failed at a Wednesday meeting of his committee. Jackson then submitted a min ority report on the bill which in cluded a substitute resolution con taining no mention of support for trials and urging a student boycott of all segregated estab lishments. Arthur Hays, speaker pro-tem, moved for acceptance of the sub stitute resolution saying that the Ways and Means Committee should not have sent Parker's bill to the floor. "The committee could not reach a decision to favor this bill," he said, "but no vote to pass it out unfavorably was ever taken. The substitute bill, I believe, is more representative of the feelings of this body." Hays was followed in support of the minority bill by Neal Jackson, who said he felt "Mr. Parker's bill could not be suitably amend ed to agree with the intentions of this body." Mike Chanin, UP, then urged defeat of the substitute resolu tion on the grounds that it had not been properly considered by committee. Phil Baddour, SP floor leader, rejoined that "Parker's bill has no meaning, and the feelings of the body are much better ex pressed by Rep. Jackson's bill." A roll call vote then killed the substitute measure by a vote of 19-18, with one abstention by Judy Anapole (P). The vote was otherwise partisan, with UP mem- ( Continued on Page 3) Student Nisrht The Carolina Playmakers' pro duction of "The Busy Martyr" will open Tuesday at 8:30 in a special Student Night presenta tion.

Boycott Requested 6White Lawless Message To SL Student Government's PAST ROLE in human relations and civil rights is a fact of life at this University. In the past decade our work has included the following areas: admissions, desegregation of the football stadium, human relations seminars and public accommodations. In regional and national meetings, University students have supported efforts directed at alleviating discrimination and its his torical products. At the recent Congress of our National Union of Students, Vice-President Bob Spearman sponsored a resolution favoring the Civil Rights Bill now before the U. S. Congress. These and other student actions are predicated on a singularly important concept. The University has a vital responsibility and creative function in the total community. We are not only a community of scholars; we are also a community of men and women, citizens. And as such, . we are "obliged to reflect upon our society and to involve ourselves in its progress." What of the present situation in Chapel Hill? My com ments are limited to two concerns: 1st, that of public accom modations, and 2nd, that of the broader conditions of the body politic. Some have questions about the legal issues surrounding -a public accommodations law. Some have questions about the efficiency of the present forms of protest employed in Chapel Hill. However, I am certain we believe with unani mity that discrimination on the basis of race in public facili ties is morally indefensible. There can be no question on that point. And the force of that point is also clear. Upon what basis can you and I support a restaurant owner who refuses service to a fellow student because his skin is black? There is none. Legal questions . . . yes; questions of human dignity . . . no! I urge that this Student Body -withdraw ;its support from those establishments which do not and will not serve us all. i "Will the student demonstrators be tried?" That has :-foeen- thi; insistent question beginning, .immediately after ; the Student Government's statements of late December and i early January. Some, in fact, have doubted the sincerity i of those Executive statements. And in their doubt they have attempted to exert inappropriate pressures on the Ju dicial and Executive branches of this Government. A trial case will go to the Men's Council; the Attorney General will make a public statement regarding this matter. Has not, though, this judicial item actually obscured the larger concerns which are before us? It has indeed. Both the academic community and the town community (Continued on Page Three) -2 Honor Code Policy On Sit-ins Stated In accordance with the policy statement of December 20, 1963, the names of all students who have been arrested in recent civil rights demonstrations were forwarded to the Attorney Gen eral's office for investigation of possible Campus Code violations. After extensive investigations, it has been found that these cases fall into two particular categories, both of which involve possible violations of the Cam pus Code. The first category consists of those students ar rested on charges of trespassing and resisting arrest. The first of these cases will be presented to the Men's Council on Thursday, February 13 at 7:15. The second category consists of students charged not only with trespassing and resisting arrest but also with possible violations such as dis orderly conduct. The first case in this category will be presented to the Men's Council next Thurs day at 9.

"I urge that this Student Body withdraw its support from those establishments which do not and will not serve us all," Law ler said. j Lawlei's statement took no stand on a public accommoda tions law. He said there were legal questions on this subject, but that there were no "ques tions of human dignity." "Discrimination on the basis of race in public facilities s morally indefensible. There can be no question on that point." Lawler called for active par ticipation by the students in the i problems confronting Chapel Hill and the state in civil rights.

Lawler further announced . that : a trial case on student sit-in demonstrators would go before the Men's Council in the near future.
