Their first appearance will be in McCorkle Place at noon. They will have an evening show in Carmichael Auditorium at 8. Both shows are free. The group is part of Moral Re-Armament, Inc.

Congressman Harold Cooley of the new Fourth District of North Carolina and Tom Fin an, attorney general of Mary land and gubernatorial candi date there, were the featured speakers at the rally. Cooley, who addressed the opening session, said Orange County has a lot in common with the other counties in the Fourth District and "I'm glad to represent the people of Or ange County." Orange County was placed in the Fourth District in a spe cial reapportionment session of the State Legislature sev eral months ago. The reappor tionment is being taken to the U. S. Supreme Court. The chairman of the House Agriculture Committee out lined several achievements of the Democratic party in the past few years which have spurred the national econo my. "The nation is on the move," Cooley said. He said the government is about to embark on a new program to combat hunger in the world. "We won't accept nakedness and hunger any longer as a way of life," he said. Cooley said the program is important because "Ameri ca can't exist on an island of plenty surrounded by hunger and poverty. We will strength en our own security with this program." He said two - thirds of the world population is under-fed and one - third is overfed. "Starvation is rampant in the world," he said, "and we can't close our eyes to it." Cooley said crop controls must exist to preserve the na tional economy but retiring fertile crop land cannot be done "while part of the world starves." He said he was not Kenan To Get Social Room Kenan Residence College, composed of Spencer, Manly, Mangum, Ruff in and Grimes, is on the verge of getting a new social room. The room, to be built by joint administration - student funds, will be located in the basement of Mangum hall. At present the basement room is used for a study area for Mangum residents. The heat and water pipes are ex posed and the walls are rough concrete. But hopefully, after $7,100 has been spent on the renova tion, the old study room will be a modern looking party room for these five residences. Steve Jolly, legislator from Mangum. explained yesterday the cost is so high because Mangum is an old building and any reworking of the room will require extensive labor. Jolly said that if student leg islature passed the bill to ap propriate their part of the cost ($2,366), work would begin im mediately and possibly be com pleted by Jubilee weekend. Kenan is the second college to have a woman's residence hall as a member. Morehead College was the first two weeks ago when Cobb joined Aycock, Graham, Lewis, Stacy and Everett. "Sing-Out '66" Hits Campus; nn now lomorrow in favor of eliminating the federal milk program in the public schools. Finan addressing a rally luncheon Saturday said the Government is attacking the problems of our society on a "sophisticated plane more than ever before." He said crime is being at tacked by going to the roots of the cause poverty and lack of education. Finan also cited reapportionment legislation which is resulting in better representation of the people. He pointed out that interna tional concern is also being shown in the Peace Corps. "The Democratic Party is the party that cares and un derstands," he said, "and the role of the young Democrats excites party leaders." He said the future is in the hands of young people. Larry Robinson of Wake, Forest, chairman of the North Carolina Federation, and Tom Bolch, president of the UNC Young Democratic Club, ex pressed encouragement at the enthusiasm shown at the ral ly. "We feel that the rally was very successful," Robinson said. UNC Junior Hospitalized David Buchanan, a junior here from Greesboro, is listed in "unfair" condition at Me morial Hospital where he was taken after his sports car ran out of control late Thursday night on Farrington Road (near Clearwater Lake) and hit a tree. Robert Frost, a freshman from New London, Conn., was only slightly injured. He was thrown from the car. Frost was released after an overnight stay at the hospital. N. C. Highway Patrolman Guy Gentry investigated the accident. Patrolman Edward Robinson, who stopped by to assist Gentry, said Buchanan was still wearing a seat belt at the time of the accident. Morrison Sets Clothes Drive A clothes drive will be held March 28 - 31, by residents of House A of Morrison Residence College. The group, headed by Hugh Stevens, will collect old, un used clothing from all residen ces on campus and do nate them to either the Inter church Council or various church world relief programs. The original plans were to seek donations from Morrison only, but House President Don Eason decided that a campus wide drive would be more worthwhile. The coordinators plan to contact the presidents of the various residence areas for aid in gathering the clothing. The group is now in the pro cess of finding a truck in which to carry the donations. Blood type cards for those who donated blood during the campus drive recently are now available, according to blood drive chairman Sonny Pep per. The cards of those living in fraternities, sororities and re sidence halls have been sent out through campus mail. All other cards will be distri buted in Y Court today from noon until 4 p.m. The South's Largest CHAPEL HILL, ed with the quality of leader ship that ought to represent the West if it is to take the offense. The two - hour performance consists of songs, dances and a few short speeches. The whole program is aimed to ward their idea of Moral Re Armament. They sing about 30 songs, all of which were written by members of the group except the National Anthem and - "Shenandoah." The group has appeared all across the nation, in Japan and Korea. In North Carolina they have played in Charlotte, Fort Bragg, Winston - Salem and in Raleigh. After appearing here they will be at Duke and again in Raleigh. The group is led by the Col well Brothers who say the group hopes "to surpise and excite you with their torrent of talent, in scenes, songs and skits which have come out of the heart and the deep-rooted convictions of the young Amer icans and their friends from abroad who are the cast. "Of one accord, they want - to sing out to America and the world the answer they have found for their generation," the Colwell Brothers say. Last August "Sing - Out" was sponsored in Washington by about 100 members of Con gress. This young group has been received well almost every where they go. However, re ligious leaders and other peo ple are questioning the mo tives behind Moral Re-Armament. The cast of "Sing - Out" is made up of many different tal ents.

Perfect Spring Day Helps Carnival Net Over $1,400 By BOB HARRIS DTH Staff Writer This year's Camups Carnival added more than $1,400 toward Campus Chest's $12,000 goal, drive co-chairman Dave Bruen ner announced yesterday. Bruenner said the Carnival proceeds may total more than $1,500 when all the money is turned in. The Carnival made much more money than he had expected. Last year's Car nival made only $750. He attributes the success this Stuff-A-Ford By CAROL GALLANT DTH Staff Writer Granted, Roger Miller is a great performer, but would you believe what some of the students on this campus were going through just to win free tickets to his concert March 29?! Crowell Little and Graham Memorial had supplied the Campus Chest with an inno cent enough looking Ford and free tickets to the Roger Miller concert for the lucky group (lucky?) who could pack the most of its members into the standard four-door Ford. I don't consider myself a particularly brave person, a little foolhardy perhaps, but not brave. It occurred to me as I was resting comfortably with my feet on the steering wheel, radio knobs in my back, and head dangling loose ly above the floorboard that College Newspaper NORTH CAROLINA, LiL.X 1 11 1111 vQ) ,...',. "SING-OUT '66" with a cast of 130 from 52 campuses and will appear tomorrow at noon in McCorkle Place and at 8 OToole, Powell Take Stand On Issues Seldom in the long tradition of Student Governent has it been more incumbent on the student body to ask the ques tion: what is the role of stu dent government at this Uni versity? I feel that the pri mary role of student govern ment is to function as student agency, and that as such its leaders should adopt an ap proach that assures top pri ority to the achievement to direct, tangible benefits for the student body. Concomitant witM this ap proach, the University Party has offered a platform that incorporates as its guiding phi losophy the return of Student Government to the realm of the students. My experience, as our plat form, begins in the Residence College System. Student gov ernment must not fail the bud ding residence colleges during the coming year. Three years of work in Stu dent Legislature have brought home to me two pressing needs: 1) The urgency of al locating more of the $217,000 budget to programs such as orientation, the Toronto Ex change, the Symposium, and our proposed Campus Humor Magazine, and 2) The need for new grassroots proposals, as a shuttlebus system and washing machines for men' residence halls, to utilize the now - fallow $69,000 General Surplus. As chairman of the Rules Committee, I both support the extension of women's privil edges and recognize the prac tical complications which the WRC encounters in this area, year to "a combination of weather, imaginative booths and excellent planning by the Carnival committee." Ginger Prince was crowned Carnival Queen. Charley Evans is the new Carnival King. The Carnival proceeds brings Campus Chest funds to near ly $3,000. Next week the drive committee will collect funds in residence halls, fraternities, sororities and Victory Village, Bruenner said. Part of the proceeds from Or HELP! this kind of thing could have been used as torture during the war. Many a brave man would have cracked under the pressure, and I don't mean that just figuratively. One word of advice. If you have claustrophobia do not I repeat do not enter a car stuffing contest. When the first body was tossed in after me it was alright. Even the second wasn't too bad because one eye at least was pressed against the wind-shield. "Yes sir. There are my friends outside and here I am in here. In here! I've got to get out! Let me out of here." The only consoling thing was a head resting contentedly on the floorboard smiling up at me. "I'll change places with you," it said pleasantly. I counted my blessings, includ ing being alive, as the judges counted the crumpled bodies falling or being dragged out of the window. - All - American Award Winner SUNDAY. MARCH 20, 1966 and I question the authority of the administration in its re cent unilateral decision which, jeopardized the integrity of the IFC in regulating fraternity affairs. In the area of academics, our platform includes the imple mentation of a major aware ness program, a student tutor ing service and an investiga tion of the possibility of re organizing the semester sys tem in order to have exams scheduled before Christmas. The approach of student government to the present state relations crisis must be characterized by primarily, a responsible attempt to cooper ate with the administration in obtaining a non - restrictive speaker policy and a large scale program to focus atten tion away from distorted views of our campus to the real is sue, which is the role of high er education in the state. My work as regional chairman of USNSA leads me to believe that these goals could be best accomplished by a concerted effort through a North Caro lina Student Body Presidents Conference. But perhaps most indicative of my approach to student government is my feeling con cerning the cardinal sin of stu dent government: that there are willing, capable people who are refused the privilege of participation. There must be a steady stream of people from the campus to Graham Memorial. I promise an ad ministration in which no stu dent who is sincerely inter ested will be denied a posi tion. Friday's Campus Chest Carni val will go to the World Uni versity Service, an organiza tion which was originated in 1920 to help students gain an education in war-torn Europe. Since 1946 WUS has expand ed to include 50 member na tions from every continent. With its base in Geneva, Swit zerland WUS works on cam puses all over the world to help students help themselves. It is both a non-sectarian and non - political program. Four of the Cagetories of projects it sponsors are: Student health. WUS raises money to supply matching funds for clinics, medical sup plies and health education cam paigns. Student housing and food. Matching funds are offered for building projects. Educational facilities and activities. Money goes to books and equipment for mimeo graphing and reproducing ed ucational materials. Students are then able to set up ama teur publishing houses in areas where books are scarce. Individual and emergency aid through scholarships and loans. WUS carried out an ex tensive project to relocate ref ugee students from Hungary in 1956. Similar aid goes to other disaster areas. UNC has long played an im portant role in WUS activity. In 1947-48 a WUS drive netted $4,216. Other money from the cam pus chest goes to N. C. Heart Association, Murdoch Center for the retarded children at Butner, O'Berry Center in Goldsboro and the Cerebral Palsy Hospital in Durham. 17 countries p.m. in Car f : TEDDY OTOOLE BOB POWELL Bonnie Cone Accepts Post CHARLOTTE (AP) Bon nie E. Cone has accepted the vice chancellorship of the Uni versity of North Carolina at Charlotte. She has been serv ing as acting chancellor. Chancellor-elect D. W. Col vard, in announcing Miss Cone's acceptance Saturday, said he 'is especially hapyy that the university will con tinue to enjoy the benefit from the enthusiasm and rich exper ience of Dr. Cone." Dr. Colvard, now at Missis sippi State University, will re port on the Charlotte campus April 1. The appointment has the ap proval of Dr. William C. Fri day of the Consolidated Uni versity of North Carolina, and the university's trustees' exe cutive committee. The 1965 General Assembly elevated Charlotte College to university status. "I have given careful consid eration to the offer as outlined to me by Dr. Colvard and the duties and responsibilities as sociated with it," Miss Cone said. "Knowing of the great needs of our institution in these areas, I am happy to accept this challenging offer." Dr. Colvard said Miss Cone would play a major role ir guiding the affairs of the in stitution as it develops into a full-fledged campus of the uni versity. Miss Cone joined the Char lotte Center of the University system in 1946 and became its director in 1947. She was di rector when the center be came Charlotte College in 1943 and became its first president in 1961. She began her professional career as a mathematics in structor in high school of the Carolinas and at Duke Univer sity. She has served as president of the North Carolina College Conference, the Southern As sociation of Junior Colleges. 1 3 michael Auditorium. The show of songs and music will feature the Cot well Brothers from California. The most fundamental prob lem that student government and the University must con tinue to face next year is our relationship with the state of North Carolina. The issue of academic-freedom has been the source of so much tension since the pass age of the Speaker Ban Law in 1963 that everyone in Chap el Hill is quite ready to see a just and reasonable solution to the problem as soon as possible. But in our haste to solve the problem we must not sidestep it next year with any half-hearted, token con cern, but must be willing to spend as much energy and time required to do two things. First, it is imperative that the image of this University and our rapport with the state be rebuilt, using every means avauame to student govern ment to communicate with the state. My experience in this area for the past two years has convinced me that the mass - media, including radio and television, and student speakers can be effective in rebuilding this image if we can expand these programs. Second, the student body President must be an effective spokesman for the student body in defending the right of our university to be free from arbitrary political Interfer ence. As your president, I shall be firmly committed to pre senting our views as students firmly and responsibly to the state. On campus, we must con tinue the close relationship be MRC Will Become Coordinating Body By STEVE LACKEY DTH Staff Writer The Men's Residence Coun cil is undergoing changes that will result in its becoming a coordinating rather than a po licing body. According to new MRC President Lew Brown, the res idence college senates will take over the previous func tion of the MRC, being respon sible for both discipline and legislation in the residences. The changes outlined by Brown are as follows: The MRC will be composed of the governors of the eight resi dence colleges; the academic lieutenant governors, social lieutentant governors and speakers of the senates of the colleges; the four officers of the MRC elected two weeks ago; and the president and vice - president of the MRC Court. These 38 members will co ordinate the functioning of all residence areas, with the goal of improving life in the col leges. They will also arrange the social programs on the col lege level, support the various college newspapers and at tempt to improve conduct in residence halls through an orientation program for fresh man. The MRC Court will consist of eight members one from each residence college. Brown said the goal of the new court will be "trying to be more consistent . . . set ting an overall pattern for stu dent conduct." Bob Hunter, retiring MRC Court Chairman, said he felt the court has gained more re spect this year from the stu dents than in the past. Paper Editor Eraie McCrary has an interesting outlook on a special kind of paper. See his editorial on page two. Founded February 23. 1893 ;kN tween student government, MRC and our residence halls that has resulted in the de velopment of the Residence College System, and major residence hall improvements this year. The need for social facilities, academic programs and a host of physical improvements will be the most important campus problem next year's administration shall face. My program in this area is aimed at one specific goal tangible benefits. In the area of academics, I want to begin a joint student faculty evaluation of our cur riculum, a long - overdue project. In addition, our grad ing system should be exam ined with the goal in mind of reducing the pressure for grades that often interferes with the actual learning pro cess. Course evaluation has shown that students can exercise' a meaningful role in improving academic life, and I want to expand this role next year. The important point that I want to emphasize is concern concern with both the large issues such as academic free dom that affect the direction and quality of education in Chapel Hill, and concern with the little things, such as a tile floor for the Joyner social room or paved sidewalks for South Campus. In asking for your support, I am asking for the opportun ity to translate this concern into a highly successful and productive administration for the student body. "The MRC representatives have certainly done their job," he said. "We have had about two or three trials each week. There were not as many last year." Hunter said sentences hand ed down by the court have been more severe than in the past, "especially in cases where pranks endangered stu dents. Waterfights, firecrack ers, fires and damage to resi dence hall property were the reasons for most of the trials." Brown said he expected the new MRC and MRC Court to be "much more effective, much more influential on cam pus." He feels action by the new bodies will mean more than it has in past years. At present not all residence halls have been incorporated into the college system, but after spring elections Tuesday there will be officers for all eight colleges. These colleges are Morrison College; Scott College, com posed of Avery, Parker and Teague; Morehead College, composed of Cobb, Graham, Everett, Stacy, Lewis and Aycock; Craige College; Ehr inghaus College; Wolfe Col lege, composed of Connor, Al exander and Joyner; Kenan College, composed of Grimes, Mangum, Manly, Ruggin and Spencer; and Davie College, composed of Old East, Old West, Battle - Vance - Petti grew and Carr. Brown said all residence halls would still have their own officers, but that the co ordinated college program would increase the financial resources of all residence areas, thereby making their overall programs better.
