Volume 74, Number 51 smssilore Telephone Lines : mxxmxft Caii Capacity 1 Wp 20 Per Ceutl By PETER HARRIS DTH Staff Writer An increase of 20 in the " capacity of the telephone com pany to handle long distance phone calls will ease the prob lem of reaching the operator . in the evening. . The Chapel Hill Telephone Company, in conjunction with the Southern Bell Telephone Co., announced early this week that the increase was necessary to meet the new de mands created by the addi tion of new phones in the. Chapel Hill area. There is a tremendous over load of long distance calls be teween the hours of 8 p.m. and midnight. The main rea sons for the overload are: the increase in telephones due to the construction of new dormitories such as Granville Towers and Morrison. because most students call collect, they do not em ploy the Direct Distance Dial ing access code and there- UP Meet s.

The Southern Bell Tele phone Co., which handles all long distance calls through Greensboro, has had difficul ty meeting the new demands because of the tight labor market. . There are not enough wom en in the Greensboro area who either qualify or want jobs as operators. The over all unemployment rate for Greensboro is 1.8, of which approximately half are wom en. Thus, the labor market is small, and the number of prospective operators is even smaller. The hours are irregular and the starting pay is $58 for for ty daylight hours of work. The pay is increased for night work to approximately $62 a week. The telephone company needs 55-75 new operators for the coming year. The Chapel Hill Co. acts merely to install phones and bill customers. It receives a commission from the Bell Co. for handling the billing. The Chapel Hill Co. is owned and operated by UNC. Most of the new operators employed by the Bell Co. are recent high school graduates or girls who have completed one year of college and drop ped out. In addition to servicing Chapel Hill, the Greensboro toll center also serves Reids ville and the tri-city area of Leaksville, Spray, and Drap er. Prof Views International Money Soon By LILONA SMITH Special To The DTH Copper quarters are not the only new type of money the United States is pushing. The U.S. hopes that crea tion of an international cur rency might help stop its gold drain according to Dr. James Ingram, UNC professor of eco nomics and specialist in inter national economics. The Viet Nam War is one reason the U. S. wants an in ternational currency. The war is slowing efforts to stop feed ing dollars into the world sys tem through deficits in the U. S. balance of payments. The new money would re place the dollar and gold as the world currency and would stop other nations from cash ing their dollars in for U. S. gold. . "But if the Viet Nam War ended tomorrow, there would still be a need for such a plan," Ingram said. "The nations should work it out before a crisis comes that might over whelm the world monetary sys tem." ' Ingram, discussing the Sep tember meeting of the Inter national Monetary Fund and World Bank, said, "Ninety nine percent of the work on an international currency still lies ahead. All they're trying to do now is devise a plan." The Associated Press said in October that 1968 is probably the earliest a plan could be finally approved, but that the meeting "produced a victory for the U.S. position on new money even beyond the hopes of American officials." Ingram said, "Some people fear a collapse of the inter national monetary system. This may or may not happen, but the important thing is the IMF - World Bank declaration to work on the problem of in ternational exchange. "I can't say whether the in ternational currency idea only one of many proposals is good or bad, but it is good that action has been taken." France is the only major member of the 105 nations in IMF - World Bank that is op posed to the new money. Fi nance Minister Michel Debre said the world isn't suffering from a shortage of money but from too much of it. Chancellor Tin WRAL Gives News Report About Paull WRAL - TV reported last night on the Michael Paull re instatement saying "students who don't want to remain in Paull's class can seek other assignment." The Raleigh television sta tion reported that the English Department had released "an 18-page report, obviously in tended to exonerate Paull." "In some parts, the report was confusing," Channel 5 re ported. At that point the re porter read excerpts from page three, then read excepts from the next two pages which were apparently confusing to the reporter. "The report said themes dealt with what the committee called 'love,' " the reporter said. The reporter ended his story with a solemn: "The English Department's investigation of itself and the apparent revers al of position by the Chancel lor apparently means the ear ly return to classroom instruc tion for 24-year-old Michael Paull. University Hosts Merit SemiHnalists At least 250 National Merit Semifinalists will be in Cha pel Hill this weekend for a program designed to promote Carolina to them as their col lege choice next fall. "An exceptionally well rounded group of students is important to UNC at this time of policy - changing," Mary Susan Kirk, co - chairman of the National Merit Scholarship Committee, said in reference to the upcoming weekend of academic and social activities. Chancellor J. Carlyle Sit terson and Dean C. O. Cathey will be the featured speakers at an opening convocation in Gerrard Hall today. Campus tours will be given by members of Phi Eta Sigma, the freshman men's honor fra ternity, followed by an intro duction of the freshman ho nor's course and informal dis cussions with UNC faculty members and students. Saturday morning students will attend classes of their own preference. In the af ternoon, they will be guests at the UNC-Air Force football game. . Chancellor Emeritus Robert B. House will speak at a ban quet for them in Chase Cafe teria. They are free after wards to attend the Morrison combo party or see a special performance of the Playmak er's production of Antigone. A reception will be held at 1:30 Sunday afternoon in the Morehead Planetarium to give the visitors a chance to meet Student Body President Bob Powell and other student government leaders. Of the 122 men who partici pated in last year's program, 53 enrolled in Carolina this fall. For the women, 25 of 87 are freshmen here now. "Of the 20 National Me rit Scholars in this year's fresh man class, 15 attended the program last year," said Bill Miller, the Committee's other co-chairman. Semifinalists are required to pay a $3 registration fee and provide their own transporta tion to and from the Univer sity. The girls will stay in the Women's Gym, while the boys will, be housed in Morrison Residence College. "We hope to start another scholarship program in which the recipients of University sponsored scholarships, as the Whitaker, can spend this type of weekend at UNC," Miss Kirk said. TO ' O Yi 'To JFrite FTe Js Better Tian To KuJe' CHAPEL HILL, NORTH CAROLINA, H olio m '1i " " t if 5 - MichaetPaull 4 GM Director Says Signing Artists Poses Problem HUNTER GEORGE DTH Staff Writer Place yourself in this situa tion: - You're looking for a big name entertainment group to give a concert at UNC. You're lucky enough to find one with an open date (a rare thing these days),' and if your tim ing is right the group is going to be in the area anyway, so you may get them for less. If not, you decide whether to fly them in from the west coast or Timbucktu for the per formance. The group requires a guar anteed amount of money or a percentage of the house re-: ceipts, whichever is greatest. Fine. Your budget allows this. You're all set. Except the group cancels at the last minute, claiming some body got sick or something. Not so good. A lot of folks are going to be mad, but it wasn't your fault. This situation is part of the risk which Graham Memorial Director Howard Henry takes every time he lines up enter tainment for UNC. ' "It's getting tougher every year," said Henry, who works with the GM student advisory committee to attract shows and concerts to the campus. "Sometimes you have to book them (groups) 18 months ahead of time, sometimes six months, and sometimes you're just lucky." The recent Mama's and Pa pa's concert in Carmichael Auditorium was one of those "fortunate" instances, he said. "We just sort of fell into that one. They were schedule for Toronto, New York and At lanta when we booked them. We were right in line with their tour." Which brings in another im portant factor: timing. If a group is going to be in the area and has an open date, it can sometimes be contract ed for half its usual price. "Of course, the really big groups couldn't care less about filling their open dates. It just means they'll have to pay more taxes." Although Henry claims "there's nobody in the world (you can't get if you have the FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 11, Refarns Pam win v." r fi-.. money," he admitted that UNC has its problems. Carmichael Auditorium, he explained, seats only 7,500 per sons, while Duke can accomo date 9,000 and State 12,000. Since the performers get a share of the house receipts, they naturally tend to prefer the larger auditoriums. Another problem is getting big groups to play "flat dates" (no admission charge.) With no house receipts to lure the group, the fee offered has to be large enough to attract the group. At that point, "we chew back and forth and see if we can arrive at a good price." At present, Henry and the GM committee are lining up a program for Jubilee week- end (a flat date, incidentally), The program will not be an nounced, however, until it is complete. But even after the group has been booked, the guaran tee and percentage of house receipts fixed, and the con tract signed, the show is still far from assured. A cancellation can upset a lot of people, but according to Henry, "there's not much you can do." Coupon Needed For Yack The Publications Board have announced a new registration system which will govern the distribution of year books in the spring. A statement issued yesterday said: "In order to print a sufficient quantity of Yackety Yacks, anyone desiring one is kindly requested to fill out the coupon below and send it to the Yackety Yack, C-o Graham Memorial. "You will not be entitled to receive a Yackety Yack unless the Yack has a record of having received a coupon." r I would like to receive a Yackety Yack. Name: last I.

Carlyle Sitterson "con curred" Thursday with the English De partment's decision to reinstate Mich ael Paull as a graduate instructor. The department faculty Wednesday accepted a five-man committee's report and recommendation that Paull be giv en back his Freshman English class. Paull, a 24-year-old doctoral student from Detroit, Mich., was reassigned from teaching to research duties in mid-October after a furor arose over his assigning a theme on "To His Coy Mistress." WRAL-TV accused Paull of assign ing his students to write a theme on seduction. He denied this and was back- Albrigh Present By LYTT STAMPS DTH Staff Writer A protest was filed yester day afternoon in the election of Bland Simpson as fresh man class president. The protest means that the Constitutional" CbuhciTTw iTl'factoF Involved in the voting have a hearing to determine if the election was unfair, and, if it was, to set a date for a re-election. Bill Robinson, chairman of the Council, said the hearing will probably be held the first of next week. The protest was filed by Tom Manley for both Alan Al bright and Robert Tyndall. . Manley, a former member of the Constitutional Council who coordinated the UP cam paign for all three offices, said: "In light of a number of ob vious inconsistencies in count ing procedure and in consid eration of numerous com plaints by individual students that their votes were not counted, I . have no other Maddox Contest Heads To Court ATLANTA, Ga (AP) Re publican Howard Callaway, locked in a winless governor's race with Democrat Lester G. Maddox and a write-in candi date, Ellis Arnall, said today he favors another vote by the people to decide the election. But Maddox said he was glad the issue had been thrown into the Democratic legisla ture. It also has been taken into federal court with a hear ing set Friday on a move to block election by the legisla ture. and the Yackety Yack ' I middle first 1 1 1 t, Tyndall Protest choice than to protest the election procedure with re spect to the Freshman Class. "It is a lesson of sad ex perience that the elections boards conscientious though they may be, cannot success fully . eliminate the human procedure. "It is not my intent to place blame for the inaccuracy on any one person, nor is this protest filed in behalf of the individuals involved, but in hopes that it will lead to a realization by the student body of the need for immedi ate and concrete reform of the Elections Board." Tyndall said he had joined the protest because of the in consistency in how votes for him were counted. "I can understand a me chanical error," he said, "but I do not see my losing 50 votes in the recount." Albright was named presi dent of the class Tuesday, but lost the position to Simpson in a recount Wednesday. Neither nominee managed a required majority in Tues day's voting because of write in ballots for Arnall, a former governor backed by a group of moderates and liberals. Incumbent Gov. Carl E. Sanders, a Democrat, was in eligible to succeed himself. With almost all of the votes counted, unofficially the totals were: Maddox 438,818, . Calla way 436,592, Arnall 55,597. Callaway's camp stilL was hopeful the final, official tabu lation would give him a slight plurality, obviously some advantage if the election would be decided by the legislature. Callaway said he would not file a lawsuit. "I will play the game under the rules, what ever the rules are," he said at a news conference. Any type of popular vote, in cluding a runoff election, would be preferable to legislative de cision, Callaway said. But the Republican said he would take his case to the General As sembly if that is required. He said he had not talked to "a single member who didn't say he would put his state above party." Maddox said at a news con ference he believes a federal court suit challenging legisla tive election of a governor will be thrown out. He declined to predict victory. But, he said: "I am not claiming victory, but I am glad the issue is in the hands , of good Democrats .who are m & big majority in the legislature. I am hopeful that I will get in."

Ml ed up by a committee which investigat ed the affair for the chancellor. Paull was re-assigned, however, be cause the student-teacher relationship had been severely damaged, Sitterson said. But after protests grew loud, Sitter son handed the matter back to the Eng lish Department for review and action. The committee, headed by Prof. James Gaskin, Thursday released their report, stating that Paull had made no assignment concerning "seduction." It read: "The basic assignment could be and probably was stated about like this: 4I want you to write a theme with the title "To My Coy Mistress," using (Andrew) Marvell's poem as the basis for your essay and I want you to make certain that you use imagery and the six special figures of speech in your essays. Themes are due Satur day.' " The six figures of speech Paull referred to are allu sion, irony, paradox, personi fication, exaggeration and un derstatement, and metonymy. The committee reconstruct ed this dialogue as having fol- lowed the assignment: STUDENT: "The Subject is .vague." PAULL: "I know it is; make it mean whatever you wish." STUDENT: "Should the theme be in verse?" PAULL: "No." STUDENT: "Could it be on seduction?" PAULL: "You might call it that. If you want to write on seduction, go ahead." STUDENT: "Do you mean that you want us to give away our best lines?" PAULL: "You could put it that way." STUDENT (a girl): "Where does that leave us? What if you're a girl and don't have a coy mistress?" PAULL: "Pretend that you are a boy." STUDENT: "Could it be far cial?" PAULL: "Yes, it's up to you." "It should be emphasized," the report said, "that in talk ing to the committee no one student remembers all these questions and answers. "The questions in which the words 'seduction' and 'lines' appeared were remembered by but two or three students; they seemed to think that -in his answers Mr. Paull was playful, and the one student whose testimony on this point was the most circumstantial or detailed said that the in structor spoke 'joshingly.' "The most general view of the assignment was that 'Mr. Paull left it up to us.' " Paull was also criticized for reading the themes having the themes read aloud in class. The committee said, however, that this practice is recom mended at least for the first theme of the year in the departmental "Information for Instructors of Freshman Eng lish." After interviewing each of the 21 students in the class, the committee concluded that "We found no evidence of gen eral embarassment or of a spirit of license." As for the "alleged vulgar diction" caused by the assign ment, the committee said it found only two off - color words one of them a pun in all 21 papers. Both these papers contained the off - color words were read in class Saturday, Oct. 15. "The reading of the fourth and final paper," the report said, "was preceded by a dia logue that went about like this: STUDENT: My paper has language that might be a lit itle rougher PAULL: How bad is it?'
