ufJC Library oor 870 C if mature Of The NewlLeft: ?. (La 9 Stmmge By BILL AMLONG DTH News Editor Carolina's New Left is a strange creature. It's strangeness is accentu ated by the character of the year - and-a-half-old Students ior a Democratic Society chapter here. "We're pretty moderate cro comParison to" most bus chapters at least most oDS chapters on big cam puses like this," said Gary Waller. "Part of the reason is that this is a very provincial, backwater school." Waller, a 25-year-old sociol ogy Ph.D. candidate, from Versailles, Mo., is the co founder and present chairman of the SDS. He happily calls himself a "radical." "A lot of places where they're more radical like Berkeley, Chicago or Colum- bia it's worth more," he said. "They can plan an action and bank on a hundred or so kids backing them up. Here, you can't plan on much more than the active membership backing you up. "The student body here is more conservative and more provincial in their orienta tion." The SDS chapter claims 30 to 40 persons as members. Some persons say, however, that even this is an exaggera tion. Its membership is predom inantely northern, Waller said, although there are some North Carolinians in SDS. Most of the members are students, none are faculty members. "Generally, we have a pret ty 'safe' faculty here," Wall er said. However small their num bers, though, SDS's influence has been felt here and throughout the state. "We have power or influ ence, I guess, because un like student government we're not tied down to state politics," Waller said. It was SDS who last year invited Communist Herbert Aptheker and Frank Wilkin son, chairman of the group trying to abolish the House Un-American Activities Com mittee, to speak here as a test of the Speaker Ban Law. And it was the SDS who sent letters to Chancellor J. Carlyle Sitterson earlier this year asking that he investi gate racial discrimination in off-campus housing. He did in vestigate and issued a policy statement against such bias. And it is the SDS who pro vides the prime cut of Chapel Hill news to television sta tions and newspapers through out the state. Because of the New Left's news value, UNC News Bu reau director Pete Ivey is concerned with SDS in par ticular, with de-emphasizing SDS. "They are activists for the sake of being' activists most the time," Ivey said, "and they represent less than .03 per cent of the student body. "Unless the press and the people get the right impres sion," Ivey said, "they're lia ble to think that the Univer sity is in a state of constant turmoil. "That's not so. "They are the so" - called "bugged' students," he said. "Most the students here are 'unbugged.' When SDS pickets, they're laughed at." To keep up with what SDS is doing, Ivey has sent News Bureau reporters to two of their meetings this year. Both were permitted to stay. 'Td say that the news me dia should put them in per spective. Often they don't do that." The SDS doesn't like Pete Ivey, either. In fact, the SDS doesn't like much of anything the way it is now. "The whole system's lousy," said Waller. "A radical thinks the pres ent socio-economic system of the United States is wrong and needs to be changed not just reformed, but chang ed quantitatively." So far this year, however, SDS hasn't been doing much to inspire change except for it's letters to Chancellor Sitterson about the discrimi nation. "There haven't been any specific reasons to do any thing so far this year," Wall er said. "And anyway, we've been in a period of internal discus sion to decide our policies for the next year. They aren't final yet." One thing that the SDS has done, though, is to publish "The Left Heel," a 7x8 1-2 inch, 12-page paper which has sold out its thousand copies for every one of its three is sues. "The Left Heel" is edited by Ann Schunior and Bryden Gorden, both of whose hus bands are students here. Their stated policy is to print un edited whatever is submit ted to them. So far, its contents have had a radical tint to them, con demning the draft, the wa and President Johnson. It is printed on an offset press at the Y-Building and sells for five cents a copy. "So far, we're breaking even," said Mrs. Schunior. Mrs. Schunior's husband. Chuck, was chairman of the Student Peace Union when there was a Student Peace Union. The SPU had only one of its Sunday - under - Silent Sam meetings this year, at which they decided not to have any more. "I think the main reason is that the kids who were in SPU felt that their efforts against the war in Viet Nam could be better channelled through SDS," said Mrs. Schunior. "And the SDS has a wider scope it's concerned with civil rights, too." It is this variety of inter ests that perhaps makes SDS the most pan-radical of all thei New Left groups. Another thing the SDS has going for it is that it's not on the Attorney General's sub versive organizations list unlike some New Left groups such as the Progressive Labor organization, which has been labeled communist. Such a group, said Waller, "wouldn't have any effect here since anything that's been branded communist doesn't have a chance here because of the irrational anti communism around." SDS has some communists in some chapters throughout the nation, Waller said, but there are none in the Carolina chapter. In fact, there's nothing for which Carolina's SDS chapter has really been strongly con demned. "I guess it shows the ex tent to which we've failed," Waller said.

DTH Photo by Mike McGowan Poem Reading Recalls War The tenth anniversary of the Hungarian revolution prompt ed the program of the fifth meeting of the poetry forum Thursday. "Poems were the only acts of freedom revolutionaries could create from prison," Read said. "American poets reacted to this work written under pressure." The Hungarian poets Tibor Tollas, Antol Lokkos and oth er revolutionaries were read, along with the famous Chil ean poet Pavlov Neruda. Sev eral poems were read from The Herb Garden, an antho logy of poetry from prison, in cluding such work as Lokkos's "Dream You are not Afraid" and Tollos's "They Block Ev ery Window." Lou Lipsitz read several of his own poems during the se cond half of the program. "I feel that the great poets of this time are poets of pro test in one way or the other," he said. His work included such poems as "To a Fighter Kill ed in a Ring", "Why I Left My Job in a Garment Fac tory," and "Thinking of South Viet Nam." Lipsitz also read Neruda's "Walking Around". .Death Valley Tilt By SANDY TREAD WELL DTH Sports Editor CLEMSON, S. C. There were two battles going on sim ultaneously in Clemson Mem orial Stadium yesterday. One occurred in the press box high above Death Valley. The other took place down on the football field. One was waged by sports writers against an army of bothersome wasps. The other was waged by the North Caro lina Tar Heels against the Tig ers of Clemson University. The sports writers fought off the wasps one by one and emerged unstung at ; the game's end. The Tar Heels weren't so fortunate. They lost their battle, the one which counts, by a final score of 27-3. The loss wasn't a humiliat ing one, despite the final score, considering that Carolina was fielding an inury - plagued makeshift offense, considering the Tar Heels were playing in Death Valley and considering that they were in the ball game until the opening min utes of the fourth quarter. But if you are a North Caro lina football fan, yesterdayaf ternoon was none - the - less terribly, terribly sad. You were forced to swallow some pretty unpleasant facts. The Tar Heels now have a 2-5 record, and thus the hope of a winning season is now a mathematic impossibility. They have played 241 consecutive football minutes without scor ing a touchdown. And they are in grave danger of con cluding their 1966 season with perhaps the most ineffective offense in Carolina history. If you were sitting on the Xmas Vacation To Be Extended Chancellor Sitterson announced last week that Christmas holidays have been extended one day this year, pushing the final exam schedule back one day also. Classes after Christmas will begin on Tuesday, January 2, rather than Monday. January 1, as previous ly scheduled. Final exams for the fall semester will begin on Monday, January 16, rather than Saturday January 14. Sitterson noted that the changes made will not alter the number of class days scheduled for the fall semester, but may well mean some unavoidable delay in the reporting of grades from the Central Office of Records to Dean's offices and to students, since spring semester registration is still scheduled for Friday and Saturday, January 27-28, with spring semester classes beginning on Monday January 30. home side of Death Valley yesterday, if you waved a Clemson banner, and cheered for the orange uniformed play ers, you were happy yesterday, almost ecstatically happy. You saw your football team place itself in first place in the Atlantic Coast Conference. And you saw a young man name Jimmy Addison. It was Addison, all 147 pounds of him, who 4 crushed the Tar Heels yesterday. "The Needle" broke two all time Clemson passing records yesterday. He has now thrown 78 passes for 1,140 yards break ing Tom Ray's mark set last sGctson Addison, for the first time all year, tore Carilina's de fense's secondary wide apart. He rolled out, scrambled when pressured, and almost always found a receiver. Jimmy Addison brought the rickety patched-together house that Hickey made, crumbling to the ground. The first half took only 51 minutes to play. It was good clean football. When the two teams went into their locker rooms at in termission and when the bands came onto the field for their half-time performances, the score was Clemson 7, Caro lina 3. Carolina won the toss and Riggs took the opening kickoff of the ball game 16 yards to his own 29 yard line. Then Danny Talbott engi neered a drive which took his team deep into Clemson's ter ritory. With the ball on Carolina's 32-yard line and a third-eight situation, Talbott called a draw play and Riggs flew past Tiger defensivemen for ten yards. Three plays later Talbott passed to Bob Hume for 19 yards. On the next play from (Continued on Page 5) Plait forums Of Candidates For Ckzss Office V. SP Freshman We, the Freshman Class candidates of the Student Party are presenting to you a carefully considered platform, which we have ruled to be feasible. We have pledged to make the follow ing a reality: I. Class Organization will be center ed around a coordinating . committee See page 4 for biographical data on the candidates. which will be structured to enable you to bring your ideas directly to your of ficers instead of having to go through some remote spokesman. II. Committees and participation. Ev eryone willing to help us will have a chance. We're excited about the talent in our class and we're going to put it to work. III. Fund raising projects. Our class needs money to operate, so we propose: A. Merchant Day just before the Christmas break. We could serve as clerks in local stores, and the class would receive a 10 cut of the gross profits. B. Corsage Sale for the Duke game. We are the only group planning to sell Carolina corsages for this big weekend. C. Car Wash. Our freshman coeds will surely attract attention as they make money for the class. IV. Social Activities. A.

We'll have class meetings and a column in the Tar Heel for added communication. UP Freshman In recognition of the numerous prob lems faced by our class upon entering a rapidly expanding university, the Uni versity Party Freshman Class candi dates have proposed a platform of re alistic and workable solution. Begin ning with the attitude of "let's be rea sonable," these qualified and forward looking freshman have carefully inves tigated each and every one of their proposals. The projects that remain can and will work a few successful pro grams are infinitely more valuable than a thousand high-sounding but imprac tical ones. The problems are indeed real for each and every one of us; the solu tions must be real we think you'll agree that these are the real problems and these are the concrete solutions: Problem: How can 2300 of us, all new to the university, have our interests rep resented fairly and function effectively as a class? Solution: 1. Establishment for the first time of a permanent class office with a class file, and a staff to provide information of a particular value to a freshman. 2. The periodic publication of a fresh man newsletter. 3. Formation of a coordinating coun cil representing all interests in the Freshman class to insure representa tive government. Problem: How can we Freshman best help ourselves learn in a new and demanding educational environment, es pecially when we are generally given the least experienced instruction? Solution: 1. Active support for and cooperation with the academic lieuten ant governors in implementing a Stu dent tutoring Service for Freshman. 2. Organization of an "in class speak ers program" bringing outstanding in dividuals within and without the uni versity community into freshman class es.. ; . 3. An evaluation of freshman courses at mid-year to provide the faculty with information for improvement in the same spirit as the nationally recognized Student Government Evaluation Pro gram. Problem: Without cars, barred from contact with fraternities,- with little op portunity to meet freshman of the op posite sex, how can freshman reach the desired level of social activity? Solution: 1. A program of freshman mixers. 4. A mammoth freshman weekend with top-flight entertainment and spe cial freshman auto privileges. 3. Arrangement with the Inter-Fraternity Council for a program of pre rush information and contact with the fraternity system. Problem: How to get enough money to support our ambitious program without placing a financial burden on our class-members? Solution: Divert some of the profit that would normally go to others into, our own treasury through a Merchant's Day, Bake Sale, and freshman week end. Hence, we earn money on our, own. purchases of goods and entertainment. Problem: How , can t the youngest of the classes make its own contribution to the University community and to freshman classes of the future? Solution: Establishment of a fresh man orientation evaluation committee to bring our fresh experience to bear on the knotty problem of introducing in creasing numbers of students to a great university. Independent Freshman Independent candidates seeking of fice at UNC have been stereotyped as rebels against tradition, or as individu als seeking the prestige that accompa nies such exposure to the public. I, as an independent candidate, propose no radical policies that lash out blindly against tradition; rather I offer opposi tion to the two personalities that are representing the University and Student Parties in this election. I am opposed to candidates who, aft er obtaining a party endorsement, re lax behind the security of their parties, expecting the momentum of that party to carry them to victory, I am opposed to candidates who have the audacity to assume that a college freshman is not perceptive enough to discern publicity gimmicks and speech fillers from actu al reasoning and effort, in presenting (Continued on Page 6) 4 IT
