State Student Legislature is just what the name
says. It is students from colleges across the state who
meet once a year to legislate on first one thing and
another. UNC always sends a large delegation.
The biggest problem the group had this year was
finding a meeting place in Raleigh (the DTH gave SSL
Odyssey of the Week Award Sunday).
The mock legislators finally settled in the board
room of the Agriculture Department Frdiay, and be
gan legislating. Later they met in the State High
way Building.
The Raleigh Times carried this account Friday
afternoon:
"The first bill, concerning public rest rooms, was
introduced by Elon College, and defeated by a vote
of 43 to 40 with two abstentions. The main objections
to the bill were the cost of proper supervision and
the fact that service stations were a main problem
and most stations were policed by the gasoline com
panies." Monday's Raleigh Times carried this story:
"Employes in the State Highway Building were
hopping mad this morning when they found the con
dition their building had been left by the State Stu
dent Legislature which met in the building's audi
torium over the weekend.
'It looked like a fairground after all the people
had left,' cried one upset secretary. ,
" 'I've never seen anything like it in the four
years I've been here,' said one maintenance work
er .. .
" 'The rest rooms were a wreck,' said one secre
tary. 'They were filled with empty drink bottles and
paper towels were scattered all over the halls.' "
Contemplation of the coincidence of these events
is left to the reader.
A Lack Of Communication
. A note of clarification about Tuesday's botched
i up election is in order.
I
Chi Psi fraternity was indeed responsible for
manning the ballot boxes in Y-Court. The Elections
Board knew it. Chi Psi did not.
' -
A sign-up sheet for poll tenders was sent to the
Chi Psi Lodge. Instructions on the sheet said tenders
should man the poll in their district. Carolina Inn
was not named, but it is the polling place in the Chi
Psi district.
"Y-Court" was penned in at the top of the sheet,
according to temporary Elections Board Chairman
John Winborne, but Chi Psi officers say nobody told
them they should send tenders to Y-Court instead of
Carolina Inn, which has been their responsibility in
past elections.
The fraternity officers said students were sent to
Carolina Inn but there were no ballot boxes there to
tend. Winborne confirmed this.
So.you tried, fellows.
The DTH's gripe about the execution of the elec
tion is not with any particular group, but with the at
titude that an election can be run without organi
zation. Hopefully that organization can be achieved be
fore the next vote, and such misunderstandings can
be avoided.

The Student Speaks
Walk To Friday's House
Does Serve A Purpose
By RICHARD FRENCH
My first acquaintance with
political tyranny dates back
to the day when I was ex
pelled from school at the age
of 15 for refusing to read as
part of a literature course, the
Political Manifesto of the Per
on Regime in my native coun
try of Argentina. After some
trouble with the secret police,
my father thought it prudent
to ship me off to England.
I came to this country sev
en years ago, and was honour
ed with citizenship a little less
than a year ago. Though the
circumstances are quite, dif
ferent, what is happening to
me today in North Carolina is
not to different in principle
from what happened to me 15
years ago.
Political authority has seen
fit to interfere with my school
ing, to dictate what ideas I
shall or shall not examine. I
cannot pretend to speak for
C.F.I. , but if the reception to
my talk last Thursday by that
body is any indication, I don't
think I will be too far in the
expression of my thoughts from
theirs.
C.F.I is not trying to issue
manifestos, or to impose its
views (or anyone else's) on
this campus. On the contrary,
we have prepared a statement
of principle and a policy for
campus speakers which we be
lieve can receive the assent of
every student, faculty mem
ber and administrator on this
campus who believes free
speech to be indispensable to
the future of the Universities
of North Carolina and to the
future of free men.
We are trying to see to it
that everyone possible shall
know of our policy, so that
each may individually decide
upon it. This policy will be
presented at the Assembly in
Memorial Hall tonight at 7:30.
so that those who care enough
to come may express their as
sent or dissent by voice vote.
If we were merely dealing
with the question of whether
Aptheker should speak or not
speak at this time on this cam
pus, we would perhaps be less
concerned, though I do not
think so. But this is not the
case. i
The speaker policy proposed
by the executive committee of
the board of trustees is a form
of prior restraint which will
remain with us long after Ap
theker is forgotten. We will,
to the shame of this state and
University, be saddled with
censorship of ideas, and it does
not seem to us to matter much
where the censorship originat
es, and whether the censors be
II men, 100 men, one man, or
any number of men.
If how we feel about Apthe
ker bhnds us to principle, we
will have failed as democrats
and free men. As to the walk
. to President Friday's resi
dence, let it be clear what is
intended. We will invite those
who want to do so, and only
those who wish to do so, to
join as after the rally in what
is intended to be the partici
patory expression in a symbo
lic act of petition, a token of
our shared values and princi
ples. At the same time we would
wish to convey our views and
to urge their consideration
and adoption by each of our
trustees. Obviously the effort
involved and in the time re
maining, 100 separate walks is
out of the question, as is also
a walk to Raleigh.
We have no wish to take
large numbers of students
away from their studies, to
disrupt traffic, and to cause
unnecessary inconvenience to
the police and to the citizens of
this State.
If I may return to the first
person singular, the walk to
President Friday's residence is
justified precisely because we
cannot reach directly the par
ties to which we can submit
our grivenaces. It is justified
precisely by, the fact that the
President has always repre
sented as well in the past, and
if he is willing to transmit our
views once more, I see no ra
tionale for Barry Jacobs' ob
jections. However, I agree that the
Governor would be the ideal
party to whom to present a
petition. If the graduate stud
ents would be willing for me
to represent them, and if a fa
culty and undergraduate rep
resentative could also be found,
let Jacobs join us, so that the
four of us could walk to Ra
leigh as representatives of
this university to present our
petition, and time our arrival
to be some time shortly be
fore the meeting of the trus
tees. Let me conclude, that I am
personally disappointed that in
spite of the consensus that I
believe exists on this ques
tion, The Daily Tar Heel has
not perhaps lent its whole
hearted a support to the efforts
of C.F.I. I also regret that the
faculty also has met, only to
adjourn without a clear pub
lic statement of principle un
der which we could rally. I
am also disappointed that
more students have not come
to the open meetings of C.F.I.
I hope I have not bored you,
and I hope that I may have
added some clarity to what
C.F.I, represents and wishes
to do. If I have failed in this,
I have failed indeed, for I be
lieve the efforts of C.F.I, de
serve your consent and sup
port. It is not to late for each
to do his part. You should not,
and I hope you will not, let
the ball be carried for you in
so vital a matter as this.

Calculate Your Alcohol
A traffic expert recently told New Jer
sey legislators that drivers can gulp down
one martini an hour for ten straight hours
and not violate the state's intoxication limit.
Robert Donigan, chief counsel of the
Northwestern University Traffic Institute,
also said you can drink forever without
breaking the law.
It's all a matter of
timing, Donigan saga
ciously noted.
I recently visited a
New Jersey cocktail
party, and was amaz
ed to learn that Doni
gan's findings are noth
ing new.
Would you like an
other martini?" the hostess asked one of
her guests.
"Just a minute," he said, pulling a pen
cil and pad out of his pocket. "According
to the law, I can't drive home with more
than .15 per cent alcohol in my blood."
"Go ahead," she said.
"A little longer, please. I hope my pre
vious calculations weren't off by too much.
My mind's a bit hazy, and I'd swear, if
I didn't know any better, that I'm drunk.
But I can't be: I'm sure I have everything
figured out on that piece of paper."
i
"But," the hostess reminded him, "may
be you goofed the first time and managed
to get yourself intoxicated."
"That's the trouble when you goof; you
incorrectly think you're sober. You drink
again then make some more calculations.
But you're so drunk by this time that the
new calculations are also off.
"Then you feel you can safely drink
once more". You have a few extra beers,
figure out how much alcohol you have in
your blood and decide you can continue
drinking.
"You don't quit until you're too boozed
up to move your pencil; at that point, you
finally can't convince yourself you're so
ber." "This is a common problem," the hos
tess declared. "Most of my friends solve it
by never going to a party unless accom
panied by somebody who docs no drink
ing." "And he drives everybody home?"
"Not exactly. He is the one who op
erates the adding machine."
"What if the machine gives him the
wTong figures making him think his com
panions can have extra martinis when ac
tually they can't?"
"Faulty equipment is a major cause of
accidents. This is why the state legislature
will soon pass a law requiring that adding
machines be inspected once a year."
The hostess is quite correct. In fact,
after I left her party I was put in the cool
er for operating an adding machine without
a license.
Letters To The Editor
UP Protest
Editor, The Daily Tar Heel:
I think that it is indeed unfortunate that
some questionable campaign tactics have
occurred before the time of conventions.
In this matter I am referring to a circular
distributed by . the , Student Party on Sun
day which contained stereotyped comments
which might have applied to the Univer
sity Party five years ago. To refute the
arguments would be both inane and hypo
critical. I speak for the University Party when I
say that the campaign we conduct this
year will be both fair and positive. With
the situations of Student Gaernment and
the University as they now stand any other
actions would be detrimental. Hence, in ac
cordance with the tacit agreements reach
ed in the Fair Campaign Practicies Com
mission we intend to pursue the offices in
the spring with the good of Student Govern
ment in mind.
I am disturbed that Jim Little, of whom
I have a great deal of respect, would affix
his name to a sham circular, so I musf
conclude that he either did not know of
it or was pressed by a majority of his Ex
ecutive Committee into doing it.
I challenge the parties and the candi
dates this spring to campaign in a fair and
positive manner for the good of Student
Government and the University.

Blood Drive Flops At Tulane
By CORKY ANVER
Tulane Hullabaloo
This week's drive to collect blood for
Viet Nam has been cancelled because of a
lack of responses by the student body. Out
of 4000 applications sent out by the Pan
Hellenic Council, only 70 have been return
ed, and of those only 50 have been positive.
The Red Cross has announced that a
minimum of 300 responses would have been
necessary before the project would have
been worth the expense and effort of setting
up equipment on campus.
FACILITIES
The mobile Red Cross unit would have
come from Mobile because the New Or
leans chapter of Red Cross does not have
adequate facilities to handle any large num
ber of donations at one time.
APATHY INDICATED
Ken Sutherland, president of Pan-Hel,
stated that the turnout was "indicative of
Tulane's apathy," and that "countless oth
er schools across the country have collect
ed hundreds of pints of blood" on similar
drives.
Sutherland explained that the project
was sponsored jointly by Pan-Hel and the
Red Cross, but that Pan-Hel's main job
was to act as a liason between the Red
Cross and the student body.
He suggested that the reason more fra
ternity members did not respond in the
drive was that it was not an official Pan
Hel undertaking, and that thus fraternity
members were not really urged to par
ticipate. Sutherland stated, "If nobody else is go
ing to do it, why should anyone do it?" in
summarizing the fraternity attitude.
PERHAPS
He thought that many of the fraternity
members would have joined in if the 300-response-minimum
hurdle had been over
come, and that if equipment had been set
up perhaps as many as 1000 donations
would have been made.
Cary Tye, chairman of the project, an
nounced on Tuesday that it would be aban
doned. He thanked all those students who
bothered to return the forms, and particu
larly those who had offered to donate blood.
