Eight Students
To Participate
As State Interns
Accepting Gov. Terry Sanford's
challenge "to take a more active
role in the governmental affairs
of the state," eight UNC students
will participate in the 1964 North
Carolina Summer Internship Pro
gram in State Government.
Bringing fresh ideas and a
capacity for hard work to their
assignments in state agencies, the
eight from UNC will be joined
by 16 other college students. All
participants must have completed
at least two years of college and
are either attending North Caro
lina schools or are North Caro
lina residents studying at out-of-state
institutions.

The program, now in its sec
end year, is designed not only
to appeal to students who may
be interested in state govern
ment as a career, but also to
those who, while planning to be
come businessmen, teachers or
members of professions, "desire
to participate fully in the politi
cal and civic life of the state."
It is hoped that this program
will help "develop the quality of
leadership which will be demand
ed if North Carolina is to forge
ahead."
The interns completed exten
sive applications as well as in
terviews with the six-member
Selections Committee at the In
stitute of Government before re
ceiving letters of appointment
from Gov. Sanford.
Specific assignment of interns
to positions with the various state
departments will be announced
this month. During April each
intern was interviewed by five or
more of the participating agen
cies. The Internship Program is fi
nanced by the cooperating agen
cies and coordinated by the office
of the Governor. After one week
of orientation in N. C. history and
government, the interns will be
gin earning $75 a week for their
work on special governmental
research projects andor as ad
ministrative assistants. Assign
ments will begin June 15 and
continue through August 21
recently in order to devote more
time to his law practice.
Stewart left the elective post
after serving for 13 years.
Phipps is currently State Com

and served as judge of the Orange

UNC students will play a large

The service, which will fea

attract thousands of North Caro
linians at $10 per person. The
proceeds will be donated to the
Kennedy Library in Massachu

than $230,000 for the library, but
leaders of the project are hoping
for a much higher figure, per
haps as much as $500,000.
Ray Farris, former football

Counties Have Quotas
Farris said that county chair

throughout the state, and every
county has a quota based on
population, retail sales, and dis

"We hope to have the stadium
filled for this service," he said.
"A color movie will be made and
sent to the library."
"This University was the first
to award President Kennedy an
honorary degree, and one of the
few at which he made an ad

hope to sell a number of tickets
to dorms, fraternities, and simi

SP Says
Caucus
First
The Student Party floorlead
er will be required to call for
any proposed bills in caucus, it
was ruled Wednesday night at the
Student Party's first meeting
since spring elections.
Reaction among party members
over the method in which the con
troversial referendum bill was
introduced in legislature caused
the action. The bill had not been
discussed in caucus, and a large
number of SP legislators were
unaware mat it was to be in
troduced. The referendum bill, .which
would direct the Elections Board
to conduct a campus-wide opinion
vote on the controversial boycott
issue, was a campaign issue dur
ing the spring elections. The Uni
versity Party attempted to pass
a similar bill in the final session
before elections, but could not
get enough votes to "suspend the
rules and get it passed.
Paul Dickson was reelected
party chairman, and Larry Ford
was again named vice-chairman.
Other officers were Ann Belcher,
secretary; Dan Stoddard, treasur
er; and John Brennan. sergeant-at-arms.
All were unopposed.
Elected to vacant seats on the
SP Advisory Board were Juan
Carvajel, Dave Rendleman and
Jim Johnson, who defeated Suzy
Sterling, Steve Hockfield and Al
vin Tyndall. All were elected for
one-year terms.
Arthur Hays gave the legislative
report, and Ford the treasurer's
report in the absence of Jeff
Davis, former SP treasurer.
"Now that we are affiliated
with the fraternity, we feel that
many of the problems of runing
such a large band will foe al
leviated and that we will be
more capable of participating in
campus projects.
"As for future work," McClel
land said, "we are assured of a
part in next year's Petite Musi
cale. We also want a part in the
Fine Arts Festival next spring
and more UNC engagements
next year."

Bill Friday.
As president of the three-fold
Consolidated University of North
Carolina, Bill Friday serves as
one of the State's foremost au
thorities on education.
In reviewing his past six years
as head of the University, Fri
day said "the effectiveness of
the teacher is still most impor
tant in education.
"It is the teacher who instills
drive' in ' the student and opens
the students' minds to the
knowledge and appreciation of
the world around him."
Friday said more is being re
quired of prospective college stu
dents today simply because of
the world we live in.
"Today the single most impor
tant factor in gaining admittance
to a college or university is the
student's high school record.
This is the controlling factor for
admission.
"I would say that continued
determination is very important
for success both in high school
and in college."
Friday listed two major issues
confronting the University today
maintenance of a high-caliber
faculty and more opportunities
for post-high school work.
"To maintain a qualified facul
ty, we must be able to pay them
a sufficient salary," Friday
commented.
"The Legislature has given us
money to increase faculty sala
ries, and this process must con
tinue." Friday said that UNC must al
ways remain in a competitive po
sition in the procurement of
qualified faculty members.
'The reputation of the Univer
sity really turns on the faculty
and the quality of the staff,"
Friday declared.
Through the years, he said,

In 1937, Bill Friday graduated from Dallas
High School, and prepared to enter college the
following fall.
"I entered Wake Forest College in the fall of
'37 on a $50 scholarship," Friday said. "I would
not have been able to have attended college if
I had not received this scholarship."
In 1938, Friday transferred to North Carolina
State to study textile engineering. He was one
of N. C. State's most distinguished graduates in
the class of 1941.
While at State, Friday was president of the
1941 senior class, president of the N. C. Federa
tion of Student Government and a member of
the Golden Chain.
While Friday was attending school at N. C.
State, he met his future wife, Ida Willa Howell
of Lumberton who was attending school a few
miles down the road at Meredith. They were
married in 1942 and have three daughters.
Between his student careers at N. C. State
and the UNC Law School, Friday spent four years
from May, 1942 through April, 1946, at the
Naval Ammunition Depot, Portsmouth, Va. as a

tribute to "a great American."

Attacks Prayer
WASHINGTON (UPI) Ro
man Catholic Bishop Fulton J.
Sheen today criticized the Su
preme Court ruling on prayer
in schools, saying the decision
should be a responsibility of Con
gress. In testimony before the House
Judiciary Committee, Sheen said
the theory that the use of pray
ers was an effort to eliminate
the separation of church and
state was a "myth." Neither the
Catholic, nor the Protestant
are managing to hold our own."
As a possible solution to the
problems of post-high school
facilities, Friday cites "the im
portant role that community col
leges are playing.
"It is true that North Carolina
was late in getting this program
under way," Friday said, "but
now there is a good response to
the program coming in. Cities
like Gastonia, Mooresville and
Leaksville have done a wonder
ful job in setting up plans for a
college.
Friday said community col
leges would provide one or two
years of college preparatory
work, all of which can be taken
in the students' home environ
ment. Here again, Friday stressed the
importance of being able to hire
quality instructors and empha
sized the necessity of high faculty
salaries.
"However, with these six or
eight Community Colleges, we
have to figure out where these
students are going to go if they
decide to transfer after two
years," Friday said.
"Many of them will want to go
beyond their Sophomore year,
and the question is, 'Where will
they go?"
Other questions will come up,
Friday said. Should entrance
exams be devised for the trans
fer student? How much responsi
bility should the state supported
institution take in finding room
for these students?
"These are all very real and
pressing problems," Friday said.
"We must try to solve them with
great speed.
"I hope the University can
keep its doors open to every resi
dent of North Carolina who can
qualify for admission. But that
will depend on the availability of
adequate housing as well as the
availability of faculty members
to teach them.
Another thorny issue that
bothers the UNC president is the
Speaker-Ban Statute which bars

"The University intention is
that we be free to communicate
with scientists, engineers, doc

all areas," Friday says in refer
ence to the controversial law.
"We would like for them to come
here to debate, and to discuss
new ideas, inventions and
thoughts.
"We are not afraid of people
coming here from anywhere in
the world to see what we have

sire to have speakers on campus
who would advocate the over

to new ideas, we must have the

Friday returned to North Carolina in 1946,
and entered Law School at Chapel Hill that
5ame year. Here again, the Gaston County na
tive showed his worth. He was president of the
UNC Law School Association, and was a member
of the Golden Fleece.
Friday received his law degree in June,
1943, and passed the North Carolina Ear in
August of the same year.
In 1948, Friday began "a most enjoyable as
sociation with a great university." Friday served
three years as assistant dean of students at
UNC. In 1951, he was appointed assistant to
President Gordon Gray and in 1955 he acquired
the title of Secretary of the Consolidated Uni

Purks also resigned to become director of the
