Another university fight against a Speaker Ban Law, that is. This one is at the University of Illinois where students are collect- i ing names for a statewide campus petition to be presented to the Board of Trustees in December. The petition asks that the Board of Trustees repeal Section 21, University of Illinois Statutes, which contains restrictions on speakers and that the Board exert its influence with the State Legis lature to repeal the Clabaugh Act. The Statutes place the follow ing restrictions on speaking invi tations : ' a) AH requests must be re viewed by a University Speakers Board. . b) Political speakers must be long to a party declared legal by the Board of Elections. c) The University may invite only candidates for national and state office. No local candidate may speak on campus. Mayors Dailey of Chicago, Lindsay of New York, Yorty of Los Angeles, and local candidates throughout the nation are barred by this stipulation. e Found W Operation Dime-A-Pack, in ad dition to being a worthy charita ble service, is on the up-and-up. Being of a slightly suspicious nature, we were set to motion yes terday when someone suggested that the drive to send cigarettes to the soldiers in Viet Nam might be an advertising and money making gimmick. f Cigarettes retail for $1.85 per darjon at several, places in Chapel . llilL. That's- 18.5-cents per There is a federal tax of '$4 per A 1,000 on all cigarettes which do not weigh more than three pounds per thousand. That works olit to eight cents a pack. ; So the 18.5-cent retail price for smokes includes only a 10.5-cent exchange of money between cus tomer and retailer. Now, the re tailer has to be making some prof it ; therefor e , the manufacturers are wholesaling cigarettes, for less than 10.5-cents a pack. Given this fact, R. J. Reynolds didn't look too charitable to us in Operation Dime-A-Pack. If the 2,000 carton goal is reached on this campus, the tobacco firm will -take in 200 dollars. We could en vision this project being carried on on campuses all over the na tion students pushing the prod uce and R. J. Reynolds taking in the money then shipping the cig arettes overseas tax-free. However, we found out this wasn't quite the true picture. The project was initiated not by the tobacco firm but by two UNC students. They got the idea from an advertising pamphlet they saw in a New York drug store last summer. The pamphlet was di rected to families of Viet Nam sol Crippled Spelling The Greensboro Daily News has its typographical errors from time to time, just like everyone in the business. And, no doubt, they have occasional embarrassment. We spied a typo in their paper Sunday, however, for which no one need make apology. In fact, we think it was divinely inspired! It was oh the front page of the sports section in a story telling about the fighting Irish from South Bend giving Duke its worst defeat in history Saturday. In referring to those iron grid iron men, the paper inserted an L for a D and came out with "Notre Lame." Not a bad miscue. For when we think of the Tar Heels' run in the football players from the Uni versity of Our Lady, we immedi ately think of all Our Lame. Opinion The Clabaugh Act, passed in 1947, states that the University may not extend its facilities to any speaker representing a "subvers ive organization." Representative Clabaugh is still in the legislature. When ask ed recently about the law, he is reported to have commented, "I don't remember it, but if I intro duced it, it must have been good." Support for the students' drive has been promised from more than 60 statewide organizations, newly-elected Senator Charles Percy, Adlai Stevenson III and many other state leaders. The National Student Associa tion has pledged its full support to the student petition drive and is urging student government lead ers all over the country to send letters of support to the Illinois students. The student's fight for freedom to speak and hear is crucial, not just in Chapel Hill, but every where. We are happy to hear of the Illinois challenge to undue speaker restrictions. We wholeheartedly support them in this action. Smokes, No Fire diers, telling them they could send cigarettes to their loved ones, with a special message, for 10-cents a pack. The students Charlie Mercer and Chase Saunders kept the idea in mind, and decided it would - be a good service project for this campus. They contracted R. J. Reynolds and asked if they could be extended the same price ar rangement for a large drive i, at , " So if definitely is hot a plot or any other kind of shady operation by big business to take in college students' dimes and as far as we were able to find out, this is the only campus that is doing such a project through Reynolds. Suspicion sent us on a wild goose chase this time. But at least we found out from the IRS what the ,tax rate is on cigarettes, and we hope we have cleared up the minds of those who mentioned the profiteering matter to us along with any other doubters who might have been wondering. In fact, we're so impressed with legitimacy of the operation, we're going to send a few packs ourselves. We hope many of you will too. 74 Years of Editorial Freedom Fred Thomas, Editor Tom Clark, Business Manager Scott Goodfellow, Managing Ed. John Greenbacker...... Assoc. Ed. Bill Amlong News Ed..

Franklin St., Chapel HOI, N C THE DAILY 'Actually It Will Take A Week. Half Was Just Sucked Fire Coactn Hickey Get New Coach Editor, The Daily Tar Heel: I read an article in the October 31st edition of the armed forces newspaper Stars and Stripes, Asian Edition, that the Norfolk Virginian -Pilot said that Coach Hickey is going to resign at the end of the 1966 season. I think this is the best thing that has hap pened to Carolina Athletics since I became a freshman in the fall of 1959. ,, T- In the seven -years as head ,'icoach,- not including an alrea-, - dy disappointing . 1966 season, he has had only one winning season (1963) and has com piled a record of 36 wins and . 40 loses. This includes an un fortunate showing against Dook. In view of some high class talent and high pre-sea-son ratings, this is a very poor record. Almost every year his teams have been able to beat a ma jor team (Ohio State 14-3 in 1965) and then have gone on to lose games to underogs. This is best shown this year when Carolina beat tenth rank ed Michigan and then failed to score but three points in the next three games, one being a loss to a weak Wake Forest eleven! With talent such as poten tial Ail-American Dan Talbott tackle Hank Sadler, and back Tom Lampman, how can poor performances against weak teams be anything but poor coaching. For a change let's get a good coach at Carolina so she can become the football power of the pre-Hickey days. LTJG H. J. Ouderkirk Class of '63 DTH Sins Editor, The Daily Tar Heel: The Good Book says, "Let him without sin cast the first stone." The Daily Tar Heel has a colossal nerve to publish an editorial criticizing the Yack ety Yack for failure to pro vide every student with a copy. How do you get so pious when the DTH, with a press run of 10,500 is supposed to go to each of the 13,300 stu dents who pay student activity fees. With exchanges, complimen tary copies and outside paid subscriptions, at least 4,000 students are not getting what they are paying for. And with the haphazard cir culation system that you have, a surplus of papers is deliv ered in many areas, while in others there is a dearth. Also, anyone who passes by, stud ent or not, can pick up a DTH, So if the truth were known, you're probably robbing even more students than that. In 1947 - 49, I had a contract with the Publications Board to give door - to - door de livery of the DTH to every student, including those in dorms, living in the city limits of Chapel Hill. I'm sure your circulation manager is getting paid a lot more than I was. And judging from the infinitesimal news hole in the DTH, the business TAR HEEL Into The Butloii-Siiatchiii" Machine!" In Letters manager must be getting rich. So your cartoon about "the extra loot" being divided at the Yack office seems even more incredible. Owen Lewis Planes Safe Editor, The Daily Tar Heel: Mr. Greenbacker: Does it seem to much to ask that once in a while you find out what in the hell you're talking about before you blast somebody? I , mean just once in, a while I'd , like to see you write some thing responsibly;; Casein point: Saturday's -column, "Advertising Air planes Dangerous For Fans." A few points of interest, about the "threat" the Jesse Jones plane poses to Carolina Foot ball fans. First of all there is about as little danger of that airplane flying into its own sign as there is a cat catching its proverbial tail. They just don't turn around that fast, John. Nor does the pilot (who has been advertising for Jes sie Jones for 19 years now) not know what he's doing. I happened to have me t the owner of this flying service out at Raleigh - Durham air port the other day. He has a1 fleet of about six aircraft that have been in this business for years and years without an accident. As a matter of fact, if a law said that if that plane was ever going to crash it had to crash in Kenan Stadium, the spectators in the stadium would still be about 1,000 times safer than they were while drining to Chapel Hill to see the game in their car. ' Federal Aviation Regu lations require that airplanes stay at least 1,000 feet above the top of the stadium. I have flown similar aircraft enough to know that even if he were to lose an engine, that plane would glide half-way to Pitts bbro before it landed. ' Furthermore, the pilot must get special certification from the FAA before he can pilot a plane carrying a sign. To press your point to the fullest, Mr. Greenbacker, and let it shine out in all its radiant ignorance, I come from a city of a million and a half people which is undoubt edly flown over hundreds of times every day. All planes using the metro politan airport come in at low level on final. The same ap plies all over the country. Take the classic case of JFK or LaGuardia in New York. Would you perpose that these overflights be ended? The FAA, which has the re thought flights over Kenan Stadium endangered anyone, they wouldn't allow them. The reason I take issue with you so vehemently Mr. Green backer is this. The man who owns that flying service has been working for many years in building a perfectly legiti mate business. He recently got the same treatment by the Raleigh press for flying over the State Fair. I think journalists have a responsibility to make just sponsibility for both air ana ground safety, doesn't think crt And I'm sure if they Of Our Staff Hi 1 I tkaiW criticism of the world around them, but they have a con current responsibility to write intellegently enough to avoid hurting innocent people. Many of your recent editori als lack this mark of respon sible journalism. May I sug gest you try thinking a little before next sitting down to your typewriter? Tom Clark U. S. Holy War Editor, The Daily Tar Heel: , The current debate in The1 DTH about whether Billy Gra ham's message has any rele vance for the soldiers in Viet Nam is totally irrelevant as far as I am concerned. We have been continually informed by Christian propa ganda that Christianity is syn onymous with magnanimity, tolerance and a love of man kind qualities which are all sadly lacking in America's handling of Viet Nam. , Americans are always proud to recall how they heroically threw off the yolk of British oppression and established the United States. However, when the Vietnamese threw off French colonialism and de cided to set up shop under Ho Chi Minh, America-that God fearing Christian coun try decides that this simply won't do. So just like the crusades in the Dark Ages decided to slaughter everybody that wasn't Christian, America sends her knight errants to Viet Nam to forcibly convert that country into a "demo cracy." Not only is our way of doing things the best for us, but also for the rest of man kind and therefore we have an obligation we are after all God's chosen people to show the rest of the world the true light. Therefore American soldiers go on praying that you might slaughter more and more heretics (if is after all only their country) since God, who we all knows supports demo cracy, is delighted that you are bombing innocent villages and massacring hundreds of people. There are now 300,000 knights who are proudly car rying the Cross of Jesus in the name of democracy to that new holy land called Viet Nam. However, those terrible her etics from the poverty strick en North are still largely in control over a country whose indigeneous population is meant to be entirely against those heretics and all in favor of the knights. Why haven't the knights in the name of Jesus won yet? Americans I am told believe in self determination, however, this determination must be in a direction that this Christian country deems acceptable, otherwise 300,000 Christian knights will be sent immedi atly to show the wretched her etics the right "course. Isn't this what all religions have been doing throughout the ages? Christopher Ke Herman Blood From Frats Not For Viet Nam (Editor's note - The follow ing letter was written by the Director of the Red Cross Blood Center to Dr. Phillips P. Webster of the UNC Den tal School, who is also presi dent of the North Carolina Hemophilia Foundation. The letter clears up erronious re ports which appeared in the DTH that said blood collected in the recent Inter - fraternity Counil Blood Drive would be used in Viet Nam.) Dear Doctor Webster: I have just received r copy of The Daily Tar Heel for Tuesday, November 1st. I am very interested in and pleased with plans for the UNC social fraternities cooperating to pro vide blood for the Blood Bank and hemophilia victims at the North Carolina Memorial Hos pital. This is certainly r worth while project and should be a great help in meeting the blood needs of such patients. I was somewhat disturbed, however, by your statement that the Red Cross supplies all the blood for Viet Nam and that since we had previously supplied extra blood to 'your hospital we were not now able to do so because our blood is going to Viet Nam for U.S. service personnel. Since this is not a true state ment I am somewhat concern ed as to where you obtained this information. The Nation al Red Cross has not supplied any whole blood for Viet Nam to my knowledge. Certainly this center, and of. this I am sure, has not supplied any whole blood for Viet Nam. During the period from last December through September of this year this Blood Cen ter did send plasma for pro cessing into gamma globulin to be used in Viet Nam. This was the purpose of our visits to Duke, UNC and N. C. State campuses for blood. Since Sept Peter Harris Role Confusion Is Oman's Once upon a time, pretty ' little Judy awoke and began attending her chores on the farm in Most Pleasant vil lage. She fed the chickens, milked the cow, and swept the kit chen floor. A few years later, while in grammer school, little Judy came home and her mother asked her how school had been. She replied, "I had a very good time, dear mommy. We drew girls in pink and blue dresses and the boys drew pictures of men in ar mor. "The girls then grew their hair long and blond and while they were stuck in castles high in the sky, they yelled for the young princes to rescue them. But, mommy, all of a sudden each princess scowled and Join In Gripe-In Are you tired? Have that run-down feeling? Plagued by headache brought on by the tensions of everyday University life? Relief can be as near as Gerrard Hall, neighbor. Yes, relieve all your frustrations at this evenings' "Gripe-In" sponsored by the Mental, Health Committee of Student Government. The idea is no joke. The students who work on this committee felt the idea of al lowing students to squawk in public about their troubles would have two benefits: It would make the students feel better and it might initiate adrninistrative action to rem edy the causes of student stress in Chapel Hill. The plan has proven very successful at other colleges and universities across the country, and there is no rea son why it shouldn't be more productive here. There are plenty of things to gripe about on this campus some of which can be named without hesitation: the prob lem of women's rules; the ef fectiveness of the honor sys tem in general; the continuing trials of the Yackity Yack; reform of classroom teaching The Carolina coed. It will be very interesting to see what kind of results come out of this program. It is quite possible they may serve as a guide for future Student Gov ernment activities. Any student on this campus with a problem on his mind would be well advised to at tend the Gerrard Hall meeting and gripe, gripe, gripe. w Wednesday, November 16, 1966 ember of this year the De fense Department has not need ed any further gamma globu lin and has discontinued this program. We are, therefore, at pre sent not shipping any blood or blood products to Viet Nam. I am especially concerned about the statement in this article because we have just turned down the Duke Inter fraternity Council's request for a bloodmobile visit to pro vide blood for Viet Nam. The statement in this article in The Daily Tar Heel is in di rect contradiction to our state ment to Duke that we could not accept blood for Viet Nam. We have had periods of blood shortage in the past four months. These were, we be lieve, largely due to the usual summer and early fall slump in blood donations. We cer tainly desire to meet the to tal blood needs of all patients from our participating chap ters and this would include all hemophiliacs. In meeting their needs we are willing to ship fresh fro zen plasma or when neces sary whole blood. We also, as we have recently written Dr. Widmann, are willing to ac cept and transfer donations from families and friends who may live outside our partici pating region, but find it more convenient to donate blood to our bloodmobiles than to take donors to Chapel Hill. Because of your great in terest in hemophilia and treat ment of this condition I am enclosing a copy of a recent bulletin we have received from our National Red Cross Office concerning availability of the AHF which our Re search Department has been producing. I believe you will find it interesting. Inez W. Elrod, M.D. Director Blood Center Problem said, "give me that spear, brother, I'll do it myself!" The present state of the mo , dern female is in chaos. The near - total lack of definition of the role of women in socie ty causes tremendous confu sion and anxiety. The day comes, you see, when the image created for little Judy (that she is a sweet darling, soft and trusting lit tle girl) no longer applies. Her internal frame of refer ence has been destroyed and she gropes in the darkness of her navel to find some direc tion. She looks to Mother, but Mo ther is in the same plight as Daughter. She then looks to Daddy, but he has split the scene a long time ago. The lack of proper role de finition causes what is com monly refereed to as the state of fickleness. The state of fic kleness lies in the land of fear and simplicity of f olution. The "Hi, how y'all" front and the "I didn't want to be com involved anyway" atti tude are manifestations of the - frightened little girl who is unsure of how to handle her self in society. The girl is raised as a nice sweet thing, to be rescued by her prince charming from the dragon of heathen suitors. Yet, through the cries for women's rights and through equal educational opportunity (both of which I support inci dentally), the females have been presented an interesting alternative to the house-hold existence of past women. The conflict resulting from this challenge causes tremen dous anxiety. It, coupled with the lack of definition earlier in life and the consequent loss of an internal frame of re ference, forms a neuroses which can be found in so many of our persecuted cuties. Freud had a term for it penis envy. This occurs when a girl takes her frustrations out on the male by trying to better him in his own field. The problem is that in or der to accept the challenges of the male world, the fe male must first understand that she has to reconcile her career with her family. This mess is, truly, one of the consequences of the chan ging, progressive society that we live in. A similar problem of role definition has hit the men. Direction of effort and the lack of immediate meaning du ring the college years is pres sing problem for almost all guys. Luckily, despite the swarm of hollow females, some guys are fortunate enough to find a girl who is bright, loving and honest. This, indeed, is a Godsend. n t .
