T.ie letter of resignation and
- Lawler's acceptance are printed
-. below:
Dear Mr. Speaker:
In, light of recent events I'd
like to give a bit of explanation
surrounding my departure from
the Attorney General's office.
Contrary to popular belief, my
resignation was not related to
civil rights or for that matter
any particular incident. The
dispute between Lawler and me
has been . a question about the
function of the judiciary itself
and the process of decision-making.
I readily recognize his
power to replace appointments
and, in view of my own atti
tudes and methods, I can appre
ciateg, in all honesty, his interest
v mor- suitable to the present
I more suitable to the present ad
s administration. A compromise
has been reached, and I am
happy with the entire situation.
With gratitude for having had
. the opportunity for two years, I
; leave with best wishes to all for
a successful and happy Spring
time. Cordially,
Buzzy Stubbs
Dear Mr. Speaker,
I have received the resignation
tf Mr. Buzzy Stubbs, Attorney
General for the Student Body.
Buzzy has brought a sincere and
refined concern for the larger
issues of student discipline to
this office for nearly two years.
Though Buzzy and I have at
times disagreed upon implemen
tation of statutes andor policy,
I want to express my commen
dation or these tw& years of -service
he has rendered to the
student judiciary. He has brought
a fine composure and personal
manner to this office so fraught
with difficulties in these times.
Buzzy's work has created a
thoughtfulness and personality in
the workings of the staff vital
to the relationship of the stu
dent judiciary to its constitu
ents and to the University Ad
ministration. I wish to announce the ap
pointment of Mr. Whitney Du
rand to fill the vacancy created
by this resignation. Whitney's
record in University affairs and
particularly in the area of stu
dent discipline is self-expository
as to its quality. The record and
crar personal relationship enlists
my full confidence that the work
of the Attorney General's staff
will continue at a high degree of
(excellence .
ResDectfully,
Michael H. Lawler,
President of the
Student Body

Seminars Abroad
Gets Under Way
'Its human we meet people,"
said Claude Shotts who heads the
ilJTC Seminars Abroad Program. v
He spoke after returning from
Europe, where he has made final
arrangements for this summer's
program. His trip included Rome,
Vienna, Florence and Paris, four
high points on the tour. The
group will spend a week at each
of these cities.
Since Shotts has made the ar
rangements personally, there are
30o agencies or middle man in
volved. He emphasized that all
travel except for a few short ex
cursions will be by air on the
group plan. These facts reduce
the cost of the trip to about one
half that of a commercial tour.
The program has its emphasis
on personal contact with foreign
students and families. In Paris
each UNC student will have din
ner and an evening in a French
Asphcilt Bench Ed.

Stubbs-Lawler:
Tlie Situation
; By PETE WALES
The resignation of Buzzy Stubbs .
as Attorney General, has- raised
numerous rumors concerning dif
ferences between him and Presi
dent Mike Lawler. .
Both men have said the rea
sons for disagreement between,
them was not over whether or not
the civil rights cases should be
tried. ;
The disagreement is a long
term affair concerning the power
relationship in matters of policy
between the President and the
Attorney General.
Stubbs, a Lawler appointee origi
nally, resigned because of the
friction over policies, despite the
personal friendship between him
and the President.
One major point of conflict was
the emphasis to be put on indivi
dual rights of defendants in trials.
Stubbs felt that the defendants
were receiving their full rights
and Lawler need not interfere.
Lawler and Judicial Committee
Chairman Phil Baddour said that
defendants were not receiving
copies of their rights as enumerat
ed in the Judicial Procedures
Bill.
They felt that the defendants
were not properly informed about
the trial procedures.
Disagreement arose over the
role of the defense ; counsel in
Honor Council trials. Lawler and
and Baddour favored a more ac
tive defense than had been cus
tomary in the past.
. Other disagreements involved
the Faculty Review Board deci-
home. Also, there are informal
discussions planned with stu
dents and professors in several
countries.
The seminar will last a little
over two months and take the
group through 13 countries, four
of them behind the Iron Curtain.
The total cost is about $1400.
Shotts said, "The whole pur
pose of the seminar is to reduce
the cost and increase the value
of a summer in Europe for stu
dents ... of course, we will
visit museums and the like, but
there will be enough personal
contact between to prevent bore
dom." He added that the sixty stu
dents who . go will be well pre
pared by two weeks of educa
tional sessions. He stressed that
"the more you take to Europe,
the more the trip will mean to
you." " " '
it
i, f.Z&x ,
sion and" the use of students on
the staff that had not been op
pointed by Lawler. ...... -
' Stubbs felt that he was doing
his job properly and that the
staff members he employed were
the best qualified.
Under President- Inman Allen,
Stubbs had run his office independ
ent of the President. Lawler had
a different view of how the At
torney General's staff should be
run, causing numerous small
points of contention.
The most recent dispute con
cerns the widely misunderstood
civil rights cases before the Honor
Council.
Lawler and Stubbs disagreed
on whether sit-in cases involving
assault by the demonstrators
should be tried before straight
sit-in cases.
Lawler further understood that
Stubbs would confer with him be
fore a decision was reached.
Stubbs said he had not actually
agreed to this.
When Stubbs came out with his
decision to try the assault cases
first, Lawler felt the Attorney
General had gone around him.
Stubbs said he had consider
ed resigning earlier this fall, but
had disagreed with Lawler over
whom his successor should be.
Over the weekend the two de
cided on Whitney Durand, present
chairman of the Men's Council,
as a compromise choice for At
torney General.
Durand will resign from the
Council tonight and a new chair
man will be elected. His ap
pointment will be before Student
Legislature's special session to
night. Action is expected to come
on the appointment Thursday.

CHAPEL HILL, NORTH CAgOUNArTUESDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1964
Petition I Circulated Opposin
Lawler's Civil
Goes To All
Residences
By JOHN GREENBACKER
A petition protesting Student
Body President Mike Lawler's
request that students boycott
segregated business establish-
( ments in Chapel Hill is being
circulated to campus living units.
The petition, sponsored by
Armistead Maupin and Clark
Crampton, states, "We feel that
this would amount to unjustly
punishing merchants for exer
cising their legal rights."
Signers of the petition empha
size that Lawler's actions,
"merely reflect his own political
opinions."
"We will not participate in any
such boycott, and we further
more urge the Student Legisla
ture to refuse to give President
Lawler any support for this pro
posal," it reads in part.
Lawler's request has been
placed in the form of a resolu
tion and will be introduced to
Student Legislature tonight.
Speaking for the petition's
supporters, Crampton said, "We
feel that Student Government has
lost contact with the Student
Body.
"We feel this petition offers
the Student Body a chance to
express their views on a very im
portant subject," he added.
In a statement issued yester
day, Lawler said, "My com
ments to the Student Legislature
were the initial steps in an at
tempt to provide an effective and
morally based alternative to the
present form of protests in
Chapel Hill.
"I submit that the vast major
ity of this student body would
. agree that discrimination is
morally indefensible," he added.
"I and many other students are
vitally concerned about this in
justice to our fellow students."
The petition was printed Feb. 5
and was first given extensive cir
culation yesterday. Copies of it
have been sent to all the fra
ternities and approximately half
the residence halls.
Maupin said the petition has
received enthusiastic support
from many students, but he de
clined to estimate the number
of signatures.
Mock Convention
Set For April
. Campus political tempers are
likely to erupt here April 16-18,
when Young Republicans and
Democrats battle to nominate
their choice for presidential and
vice-presidential candidates in
the Mock Political Convention.
Interviews for delegation chair
men for the . bi-partisan conven
tion will be held each afternoon
this week, Tuesday thru Friday
from 3-5 p.m. Fifty residential
units on campus will be represent
ed by delegations. Persons in
terested in participating in the
convention are invited to appear
before the executive committee
this week. All interviews will be
held at the Mock Convention head
quarters which is upstairs Y Court.
Each evening's events of the
convention will be highlighted by
both a Republican and Democratic
keynote speaker. Governor Terry
Sanford will launch "the conven
tion for the Democrats and the
Republican speaker hasn't been
chosen yet.
Among Republican celebrities
who have been invited to appear
are North Carolina Congressmen
Jim Broyhill and Charles Jonas
as well as Senators Goldwater
(Ariz.), John Tower (Tex.), and
Senate Minority Leader Everette
Dirkson (ILL.).
Democrats who have been in
vited are Senator Ribicoff, Am
bassador Stevenson and Mayor
Robert Wagner of New York City.
SO Arrested As Board Meets-
Street demonstrations continued
here last night with the arrest
of approximately 50 persons as
the town's Board of Aldermen
met to determine how to cope
with the present racial situation.
The demonstrators were arrested
at 8:40 p.m. last night as they
staged a sit-down at the inter
section of Franklin and Columbia-
Streets. .
Meanwhile the Board of Alder
men meeting in the Town Hall a
block away voted to change the
town's picketing ordinance by al
lowing picketing only from 7
a.m. to 7 p.m. The measure
passed by a 4-3 vote with Mayor
Sandy McClamroch casting the
deciding vote.
The action was also supported
by Police Chief W. D. Blake who
stated that he was worried about
spreading his force so thin that
they would be unable to prevent
possible violence.
Chief Blake also stated that
two men have recently left the
force and as many as three to
four officers have been in the
hospital at one time causing the

Playmakers
The Carolina Playmak
ers' production of "The
Busy Martyr" will open to
night at 8:30 in a special
StuUent Night presentation.
Tickets for the Student
Night performance will be
on sale in Y-Court today
at $1.00 each.
Regular $2.00 tickets went
on sale Thursday for the
evening performances Wed
nesday through Sunday and
the matinee Sunday at 2:30.
The play, written by Geo

produced in San Francisco
in 1961. Its first presenta
tion in the Southeast was
last April in Nashville,
Tenn. It was selected play
of the year for 1963-64 by
the Southeastern Theatre
Conference.
Both National party chairmen,
William E. Miller, Republican,
and John Bail ey, Democrat have
expressed interest in the conven
tion and may appear during the
three day affair.
In addition to the two keynote
speeches on Friday night (the
second day of the convention),
delegates will debate on a plat
form for the convention and will
vote on it plank by plank.' Per
sons interested in submitting reso
lutions should bring them in ad
vance to the Mock Convention
Headquarters.
Presidential ballots will be cast
Saturday night.
Approximately 1,000 delegates
are expected to participate in the
convention. Campus living units
will be reperesented as autono
mous delegations and will not,
as in the past, attempt to imi
tate a state. For example, the
delegations from Parker Dormi
tory will be referred to in the
convention as Parker rather than
assume the identity of a state.
Convention chairman Steve Nis
lick said yesterday he encourag
ed all interested persons to come
by convention headquarters this
week and interview for selection
as delegation chairmen of their
respective living units. He added
that delegation chairmen will be
chosen primarily on &eir interest
in political affairs and ability,
rather than party affiliation or

Dec. 16, as compensation for part
of their overtime work.
It was also reported that the

Last night's arrests followed a
weekend filled with sit-down
demonstrations.
UNC and the Democratic Par
ty were criticized Sunday night
by Robert Gore, personal assis

Equality's Director James
Farmer. Gore spoke to a free
dom rally at St. Joseph's CME
Church.
He promised the local move

going to change the . status quo
here."
Following the talk, about
175 people staged a sidewalk
march to the downtown area." No
incidents were reported, except
from a crowd of whites includ

Gore attacked the University
for not taking an official stand
against segregation. In refers

"it's past time for discussion" of

Rights Bill Passes
House 190-130
WASHINGTON (UPD The
House Monday passed and sent
to the Senate a civil rights bill
broader, tougher and more con
troversial than any anti-discrimination
measure since the Civil
War Reconstruction.
The bill passed on a 290 to
130 roll call vote after the long
est House debate on a single
piece of legislation in recent
yars. The vote was lopsided, but
the battle was hard-fought to the
end.
The House, winding up nine long
days of debate and action on
more than 120 proposed amend
ments, had only to take final roll
call votes before it could send
the bill to the Senate.
The measure,' a broad design
for federal action against racial
and other discrimination in vot
ing, education, employment, pub
He accommodations and the use
of federal funds, came through
the House practically untouched
by crippling amendments.
Two Charged

Police said the pair, Arthur
Simonds, white, and James R.

found fighting beside the First
Baptist Church.
The pair told police they were
fighting over a Negro girl.
When questioned the duo told
police that the girl had been dat
ing Farrington, but had recent
ly started going with Simonds.
A fight developed when the pah
started talking and came to
blows. The girl witnessed the
fight.
Both men swore out complaints

The controversy in Student
Government over whether to try
students involved in sit-ins and
and other acts of civil dis

ed as "one of the most ridicu
lous discussions I've heard in a
long, long time."
Gore hit the Democratic Party
for allowing Southerners to hold
up action on the Civil Rights bill
now before Congress, and rap
ped politicians "who think they
have my (the Negro's) vote in

"My vote is too big for any

the crowd. Before he votes, Gore
said, he is going to have to be
sure he is going to get some
thing for his vote.
Oiess Team
Ties Duke
By BILL STROUPE
On Sunday UNC and Duke tied
2-2 in a chess match spiced with
three rapidly-played finishes and
no checkmates.
UNC's Keywood Cheves won
the first game. He forced Ronald
Frazer to resign because of a
plain and simple material ad
vantage. But after that, the sands of
time impaired UNC's chess ma
chine. In match play, you must
make 50 moves in the first two
hours.
First the time limit rushed Ver
non Robinson. Contending with
this and Jerry Fink's skill, Rob
inson conceded the game.
Then Old Man Time polished
off Ron Simpson.
Finally, Fred Fornoff played
Beat the Clock, squeezing nine
moves into 30 seconds. He later
pulled a knight fork on Richard
Katzberg and thus forced him to
resign.
On the first board, Fink made
a queen sacrifice which Robin
son called "unsound." But it en
abled Fink to queen a pawn, and
Robinson quit soon after the
coronation.
The win over Simpson on the
second board actually went to
Bob Morris (not Old Man Time).
Morris forced Simpson's king on
to the last row and may have won
without the time limit. Before
pressure hit him, Simpson had

The Carolina Forum has high

Speaking for the Forum, Bill
Schwartz stated that efforts had
been made to obtain Ambassador
Stevenson for presentation this
year, but the request had been
made on too short a notice. Re
cently, another attempt was
made to secure Stevenson and
indications were that the pros
pects for the coming year were
good.
In addition, Schwartz stated
that the forum hoped to obtain the
services of Burke Marshall, as
sistant Attorney General in
charge of civil rights, for presen
tation to the student body last in
his spring semester. A definite
acceptance has already been re
ceived from Senator Hubert Hum
phrey, Democratic Whip in the
U. S. Senate.
Tentative offers to speak have
also been sent to Sen. Edward
Kennedy and to Sen. Barry Gold

of next year's commitments were
definite and that much depended
upon occurrences which can not
now be foreseen.

Butler added: "Mr. Aycock is
nothing more than an employee

rogant campaign against this

insubordination of the first
order. He ought to be doing the
work he's paid to do instead."
