20 Per Cent
Admit Crib
WASHINGTON (AP) Twenty per
cent of freshmen in a representative
sampling at America's colleges and uni
versities admit to cribbing on an ex
amination in the past year.
The finding is included in a survey
of 206,865 current freshmen at 251 col
leges and universities released last
night by the American Council on Edu
cation, the principal coordinating agen
cy for higher education in the nation.
About 20 per cent of all first-year
students this fall were asked to fill out
questionnaires delving into everything
from how they plan to finance their
education to whether they had partaken
of a dietary formula (16 per cent had)
or beer (64 per cent) in the past year.
The cheating figure was 24 per cent
for men and 16.5 per cent for women
but was relatively uniform among the
various public and private, two-year and
four-year colleges and universities.
Other findings included:
22 per cent of the students felt like
"numbers in a book" at their schools
with the highest figure being 40 per
cent at public universities and the low
est 6 per cent at private, nonsectarian
four-year colleges.
16, per cent said they had partici
pated in organized demonstrations in
the past year.
5 per cent were Negroes with the

WASHINGTON (AP) Jus
tice Department figures indi
cate that a smaller proportion
of young men is trying illegal
ly to avoid military service
now- than at the height of
World War II.
A comparison today of fig
ures for 1944 and 1966 shows
that with about four times the
number of men in uniform
during the World War II year
there were about ten times
the number of convicted draft
Violators.
During 1966, according to an
FBI report, 450 persons were
convicted of violating provi
sions of the Selective Service
Act. This figure is for the cal
endar year January through
December. And it is nearly
double the 262 convictions of
1965. , .
These figures were listed in
the FBI's recent annual year
end report to the Attorney
General. FBI Director J. Ed
gar Hoover attributes the rise
to the increase in U. S. mili
tary commitments, other offi
cials blame it partly on larg
er draft calls and partly on
strengthened draft laws enact
ed in 1965.
But Justice Department files
disclose that the. number of
persons convicted for selective
service violations in fiscal year
1944 July through June
was 4,609. The figure was 1,427
in 1942 and 3,950 in 1943. It
dropped to 2,890 in 1945.
During the Korean war, the
number of convictions hit a
high of 434 in fiscal year 1954.
Considering the number of
troops under arms, the num
ber of convicted draft dodgers
in 1966 represents a smaller
proportion than the number in
World War II.
Last Nov. 30, for example,
the United States had 3,326,491
troops under arms. On Nov. 30,
1964 the figure was 2,803,459.
This is about one - quarter'
the 11,451,719 men in uniform
on June 30, 1944 and about a
third the 1943 figure of 9,044,
745. The peak year was 1945
with 12,123,435.
Yet, the number of draft vi
olators convicted in 1966 was
only about one - tenth the num
ber convicted in the peak war
time years.
In 1954, with 3.3 million men
in the armed forces, the num

highest figure being 13 per cent at pri
vate, nonsectarian, four-year colleges.
Objectives considered essential or
very important were helping others in
difficulty (69 per cent); being an au
thority in one's field (66); keeping up
with political affairs (58); succeeding in
one's own business (53); being well off
financially (44); and obtaining recog
nition from peers (43).
The most popular major fields
of study planned were business (14 per
cent), education (11), and engineering
(10).
Nearly half indicated plans to ob
tain a graduate or professional degree.
' Major sources of financial support
during the freshman year were listed
as parental aid (58 per cent of students);
summer earnings (28); personal savings
(16); scholarships (15); and federal gov
. ernment (10).
35 per cent reported no concern
about financing their education, 56 per
cent some concern, and 9 per cent major
concern.
64 per cent reported attending
church frequently, 49 per cent praying
frequently, and 17 per cent smoking
cigarettes frequently.
The American Council plans to com
pile the information each year with one
aim being to measure how the student
characteristics change during college
years.
ber of draft violation convic
tions reached a peak of 434. It
was 362 in 1953 when the arm
ed forces had about 3.5 mil
lion men.
In the years after the Ko
rean War the number of draft
violators dropped as it did
following Word War II. The fig
ures for fiscal years 1955
through 1965 were generally in
the 150-250 range.
Justice Department figures
show the Department is win
ning a majority of the cases
it sets out to prosecute. Fig
ures for recent fiscal years
show: In 1963, of 323 persons
indicted, 228 were convicted.
In 1964, of 316 indicted, 251
were convicted, and in 1965
there were 369 indictment and
243 convictions. In fiscal 1966
of about 680 indicted 353 were
convicted.
Not all those in the indicted
but - not - convicted category
were acquitted. Often men in
dicted will decide then to obey
selective service regulations
Carolina Will Receive 85
NDEA Grad Fellowships
UNC is again in the nation
al spotlight for quality higher
education in the areas of
NDEA fellowships, graduate
student production, and medi
cal school contribution.
The U. S. Office of Educa
tion has just announced that
the University in Chapel Hill
is one of 18 institutions re
ceiving the maximum number
of 85 National Defense Educa
tion Act graduate fellowships
for the 1967-68 academic year.
The Federal agency is
awarding grants to 193 insti
tutions of higher education for
support of 6,000 new NDEA
Title IV graduate fellowships,
to begin next fall. Altogether,
2,692 graduate programs have
been approved, with partici
pating institutions represent
ing all 50 states and Puerto
Rico. Approximately $85 mil
lion will be obligated in fis
cal 1967 to cover the cost of
the 6,000 new fellowships, plus
the 9,000 carried over from
previous years.

and the indictments are dis
missed. An official was reluctant to
say whether any particular
group contributes the largest
percentage of present - day
draft law violators. Until a few
years ago, he said, members
of some religious sects com
prised a big part.
He said, however, that draft
card burners and active mem
bers of the so - called beat-the-draft
movements constitute a
very small percentage of those
convicted, or involved in pros
ecutions. And the Justice Department
allows no quarter to those who
leave the country to evade the
draft. Official policy is to ob
tain indictments against such
persons. Since there is no sta
tute of limitations on these in

force until the government
seeks to have them dismiss

tive service cases.

In 1964 - 65, a total of 399
students received doctoral de
grees on North Carolina cam
puses. The University at Chap-

39.5 per cent of that number.
Tar Heel institutions were
topped only by California, In

1955-65, North Carolina insti
tutions of higher education
turned out 2,410 graduates,
ranking behind 13 states na
tionally. Besides these Southern
states, only Maryland, Florida
and Tennessee turned out as
many as 1,000 doctoral degree
students during this 10-year
period.

people.
"A Summer to Remember"
is a simple story of a 5-year-old
boy getting to know and

Bosley Crowther observed in
The New York Times: "It is
loaded with basic points of
child psychology, without ever
making you conscious that it
is. Indeed, it might well serve
as a model for use by child
study groups."
Discussion of the film and

1 Manchester 6 Stitt- Mears
Silent Hymn Of Grief
AMHERST, Mass. (AP)
That tension can develop be
tween a writer and his subject ,
was a fact known to William
R. Manchester long before he
submitted his prose to the edit
ing of Mrs. John F. Kennedy's
friends.
Four years ago, speaking at
a writer's conference at the
University of Massachusetts
here, Manchester said:
"No one knows better than
the novelist how deeply people
cherish illusions. It's risky for
him and even riskier for his
subjects. Some authors per
suade themselves that the cus
tomers are right."
Be that as it may, it was
Manchester the historian, not
Manchester the novelist, who
suddenly found himself at odds
with a subject, and embroiled
in a public dispute.
That dispute made William
Manchester a national figure
overnight. After 20 years as a
professional writer, after three
novels and three biographies,
he is a man known not for
what he has published, but for
a single unpublished manu
script, "The Death of a Presi
dent." From his personal experi
ence, Manchester had no rea
son to believe that his author
ized version of the events sur
rounding the assassination of
John F. Kennedy would create
tension with those who com
missioned it.
He had satisfied Mencken.
H. L. Mencken, whose wit
had punctured the ego of many
a famous writer, chose Man
chester to write his biography.
He turned Manchester loose on
all his personal papers. The
finished product, down to and
including the title "Disturber
of the Peace" won Mencken's
unqualified approval.
F u r t h e r , if Manchester's
"Rockefeller Family Portrait"
generated any heat, only he
and the Rockefellers knew
about it.
The subject of his third bio
graphy, "Portrait of a Presi
dent," was John F. Kennedy.
It was this book one reviewer
called it "adoring" that led
Mrs. Kennedy to select Man
chester to write the story of
the assassination.
But Mrs. Kennedy didn't like
Manchester's use of details,
which he had provided in tape
recorded interviews. They
Replies To Letter
6U
A:
From The Associated Press
WASHINGTON Secretary
of State Dean Rusk replied to
a letter signed by UNC student
body president Robert Powell,
saying that the U. S. is willing
to meet with Hanoi envoys
"either in public or in private"
to work out an end to the
war.
Powell led the 100 student
leaders who signed the Dec. 29
letter to President Johnson pro
testing U. S. involvement in :
Viet Nam.
The students' letter reported
a "new mood
of doubt
about the Vietnam war and tha
draft" is growing among coP
lege students.
It said that unless the gap be
tween their conclusions and
government statements is nar-;
rowed, an increasing number
of students will seek means to
avoid military service.
Rusk's letter, made public
by the state department, is an
effort to reduce this area of
misunderstanding although it
actually breaks no new ground
in outlining U. S. policy.
The secretary made these
points:
. The United States is in
v volved in Vietnam because
V "the minimum condition for
were, she said, too personal,
too intimate.
There has been no suggestion
that the Kennedy family fares
badly in the book; in fact, all
who have read it say the Ken
nedys come off very well in
deed. This was to' be expected.
William Manchester was, and
is, an unabashed admirer of
John F. Kennedy.
The depth of this admiration
was outlined by Manchester in
a commencement address he
delivered at the University of
Massachusetts here in 1965. He
spoke on Kennedy and the
American public's reaction to
the assassination.
He praised Kennedy's ele
gance, wit and sophistication,
but said they "were largely
camouflage."
Said Manchester:
"He remained apart from
the ideological stylesetters; he
declined to join the bland who
ied the bland. The one illness
which never afflicted him was
the cloying narcissism which
clots the modern idiom.
"He never felt victimized.
He never felt alienated. That
was left to his assassin.

Vice President Lyndon B. John

Describing Kennedy's feel

of Texas in November, 1963,
Manchester writes:

Student Book Co-op
Plans 12,000 Sales
Plans for the student-operated
used-book sale for the end
of this month were announced
Saturday by Don Duskie,
chairman of the Co-op Com
mittee. In order to avoid confusion,
Duskie said, books will not be
bought and sold at the same
time.
Students may bring books by
the Naval Armory between
January 18 and the last day
of classes. Students may buy
books in the armory the first
week of spring classes.
Duskie is planning for 12,000
books from 4,000 students, to
be bought and sold in the ex
change. 9
"Duty, dedication and devo
tion lay at the core of him, and
if those words sound quaint,
the fault lies with us and not
with them."
At the core of his speech
were these words:
"But though a man may
seem larger than life, he is not
really. Each of us has his
own dark star. Even the
brightest of us which 'he was
is shadowed by another self,
the negative which comple
ments the positive point.
Throughout life we are in con
stant dialogue with this other
self, sometimes battling it,
sometimes losing.
"It is a measure of this
man's (Kennedy's) stature that
he fought these private strug
gles so successfully that most
of his countrymen were un
aware there had been any con
flict. That victory was a tri
umph of one man's will. And,
indeed, it was a remarkable
triumph."
And, on still another occa
sion, Manchester said:
"I still wake up at night and
hear the stutter of the drums
on Pennsylvania Avenue. I
still hear a silent hymn of
grief within."
Manchester also writes that
five highly - placed Democrats
advised Kennedy some in
strongly - worded warnings
not to go to Dallas on the tour.
"The atmosphere in Dallas
had become highly charged
with inflammatory state
ments" against Kennedy, the
book asserts.
Manchester quotes one of
the five, Sen. J. William Ful
bright of Arkansas as saying
to the President:
"Dallas is a very, dangerous
place. I wouldn't go there.
Dcn't you go."
The others who urged the
President to bypass Dallas, the
book says, were Sen. Hubert
Humphrey of Minnesota, House

Continued on Page 6
Duskie said his committee
will set the price for which
books may be exchanged. All
books of one course will go for
the same price.
The purpose of the sale, he
said, is to give students high
er prices for their books but
keep the sale prices low with
a low overhead.
When a student brings his
books to the Naval Armory, he
will fill out two types of cards
which he buys: a postcard for
each book and an index card
for the Co-op records.
On the postcard he puts his
name, address, ID number,
course number the book is used
for and the name of the text.
This card remains in the book
until it is sold.
When the book is sold, the
card will be mailed to the
seller ' as "notice that he can
collect his money.
The index card has the sel
ler's name and address, and
a listing of all books the seller
left at the sale.
When the student brings his
book to the sale, he will be
told what he will receive if the
book is sold.
When the student comes to
buy books, he will give a list
of the books he wants to a Co
op member who will find the
books for the buyer. The buy
er will then pay for the books.

a summary of the contempor
ary musical scene there. He
is a former pupil of the dis
tinguished musicologists Bence
Szabolcsi and Denes Bartha;
the latter presented a paper
on Bartok to the AMS last
year. ...
