U.N.C. Library Serials Dept. Box 870 (8(8 1y i Chancellor Sitterson . . A Busy Year By DON CAMPBELL DTH News Editor "It's been a busy year, in many, many ways." J. Carlyle Sitterson leaned back behind - a cluttered desk and reflected on his first year as chancellor of - Carolina. A year ago yesterday he became acting chancellor, replacing Paul F. Sharp who resigned to become chancellor of Drake University. We have faced many major talks in the past year," the. Chancellor said, "many of which received little atten tion." "For instance, we made more key appointments last year than in any year in the history of the University. More than a majority of the top ad ministrative posts were filled. Some of the replacements were filled by local people, many were brought in from off cam pus. "Appointments included a new provost, a vice chancellor for Health Sciences, a dean of the Graduate School, a dean of the School of Arts and Sci ences and General College combined, a dean of the School of Education, a new head football coach, and deans of the Schools of Social Work, and Dentistry." In another area, the Chan cellor feels that relations be tween the Administration and student leadership have been greatly improved. "In my opinion the Univer sity is basically a; communi ty," he said. "A community made up of three elements: the students, the faculty and the administration. They are all equally important if the community is to be main tained. I think we accomplish ed a lot in the past year in maintaining this working com munity here." There have been disappoint ments for the Chancellor, .though. "The Speaker Ban remains to be a problem," he said. "I hope the whole issue will be settled this spring." (A court hearing will be held on the Ban in Greensboro next Tues day.) "I've never passed judg ment on the students who op posed our decision to deny the two speakers (Aptheker and Wilkinson)," he said. "But I think it's important to note that all invitations since that time have been approved." How does the Chancellor feel about the activist elements on campus? "Well, they picket me a lot, but I certainly don't feel they should oe interfered with as long as they don't obstruct jus tife or resort to violence. I think it's dangerous to judge people." Chancellor Sitterson feels there are many problems that the University must face both now and in the future. The most challenging and important issue facing the Uni versityI feel is the signifi cance of the individual in a growing University. "We've done a better job than some realize in this area," he said. "The Resi dence College System is one attempt to preserve the con cept of the individual. 'The faculty are easier to get to here than at any large university in the nation. In the long run I'm very optimistic." But the size of the Univer sity itself has limits. The Chancellor continued: "By 1975 we hope to be able to say that the University will not get any larger. This de pends on the rest of the col lege system in the state, but wc hope to freeze the enroll ment between 17 and 13.000. I think we should do this and keep the qualities we have up ' to that point." And one of the biggest prob lems, in the Chancellor's opin ion, is attracting and retain ing a good faculty. "This is becoming increas ingly difficult," he said. . Though last year was busy, the Chancellor, who is a Kenan professor in History, has an added responsibility this se mester. He is teaching a class, again three days a week. "I get a lot of plcfsure out of teaching, I hope I can con tinue," he said.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17. 1967 Founded February 23. 1893 Van Loon Savs Link With CIA 'Completely' Cut By DON CAMPBELL DTH News Editor Eric Van Loon said late yes terday that the National Stu dent Association's National Su pervisory Board had voted unanimously to sever all ties with the Central Intelligence Agency. Van Loon attending an emergency meeting of the 10 member board in Washington, told the Daily Tar Heel by tele phone that reports that the NSA was seeking other finan cial relations with the CIA ., "are totally false." "We have been meeting in executive session almost con tinuously trying to determine the complete details of the past NSA-CIA ties," he said. "This covert relationship is intolerable," Van Loon said. "Students should not be used as spies." He said the Supervisory Board has also been consider ing how to re-orient the NSA. '"We plan to completely re structure the NSA, internally," he said. Van Loon is chairman of the Supervisory Board's Legal and Finance Committee. He said that as far as could be determined, only the Inter national Committee of the NSA was linked with the CIA. "The National Committee is completely clean," he said. "We are convinced that there come out of all this," Van Loon said yesterday. "It will clear the NSA." Van Loon said he did not know how long the Board would be in session, but that a comprehensive statement of its findings would be released upon termination of the meet ing. Van Loon went to Washing ton Tuesday afternoon, along with Teddy O'Toole, campus co-ordinator for NSA. Van Loon and O'Toole are southern regional representatives on the National Supervisory Board. 7 n y WMO 'MOre Musk.

The magazine's release date was pushed back to Wednes day when the ads caused a major controversy.

At a secret meeting which ran into the early morning hours last Wednesday, the NSA national supervisory board attempted to work out a new arrangement which would enable the nation's lar gest student organization to continue receiving a subsidy from the super - secret spy organization. Disclosure of the under-the-table subsidy, which may have totaled as much as $3 million since 1952, touched off a White House-ordered inves tigation of all such CIA in volvements with the educa tional community. Finance Comm. Denies Powell Fund Request The Finance Committee of Student Legislature recom mended Thursday that a re quest by Student Body Presi dent Bob Powell for funds to pay for a trip he made from Washington to Chapel Hill during the semester break be denied. It was on this trip that Powell talked with Secretary of State Dean Rusk on stu dents' views on the Vietnam war. Student Government's requi sition system requires that proposed expenditures must be requested and approved before the actual purchase is made. Frank Longest, chairman of the Finance Committee, said Powell's request for funds United Press International learned that a majority of the NSA board members attend ing the meeting were arguing for continued secret support from the CIA. Only three of the 10 board members ex pressed flat opposition After the meeting, one par ticipant said the three dissi dents threatened to "blow the whistle" on any new attempt to arrange a liaison with the CIA. This source also charged that the NSA and State De partment were not telling the truth in stating earlier this week that all CIA subsidies to the NSA were terminated as of Jan. 1. During the secret meeting, NSA board members sharply questioned Lee Webb, a for mer national secretary of Stu dents for Democratic Society, who co-authored the article in Ramparts Magazine which disclosed the CIA-NSA relationship. By STEVE KNOWLTON DTH Staff Writer "This is WMO radio sign ing on." Monday night, about 7:30, some 1,000 Morrison students will likely be able to hear these words as WMO radio station, the latest of residence college dreams, becomes' a re ality. The station, which proclaims "MOre music, MOre news and . MOre good radio listening," will originate from the second floor of Morrison and be broad cast from 3 p.m. to 1 a.m. six days a week, "with Saturday nights pending." WMO will broadcast on an assigned frequency of 1330 kc. Transmitted through the elec trical system, the station will be clearly audible throughout Morrison even though the transmitter is only 50 watts. "Anyone who has an AM ra dio anywhere near an electri cal outlet will be able to pick up the station," said Parker Hudson, whose academic com mittee is primarily responsible for WMO. WMO belongs to the students of Morrison, for it was their $400 the Senate appropriated for the turntables, micro phones and other equipment necessary for the radio broad- CHSt "WMO belongs to Morrison students, primarily though," said Hudson, "because of the many hours of work that stu dents put into making an idea a reality." Primarily responsible are Ken Powell, Program Direc tor for WMO; Bill Blair, tech nical director; and Jake Freese; Business Director. Bill Martin and Jim Lenz also have put in a great -deal of time and energy into the station, said Hudson. The three directors built the console to hold the equipment and have painted and redeco rated the storage room-turned studio. Blair .turned out ampli fiers, pre-amps and electrical hook-ups out of his "spare time" Martin has recorded the master tape of all the intro ductory "lead-ins" for the var ied programs of music to be of fered by WMO. Lenz has taken it upon him self to train the 45 disk jock eys who will be on the air. "Virtually all kinds of mu sic will be heard over Mor rison radio," said Hudson. The shows include: DOWNBEAT, a "WKIX type" rock and roll show, will be heard each afternoon from 3-5. CARROUSEL, from 5-7, will consist of ' light popular mu sic, such as the Tiajuana Brass and Barbara Streisand. SPECTRUM, heard three nights a week from 7-8, will be a "totally creative hour, ranging from comedy to news to Lone Ranger serials, to WMO ON THE AIR It's been said that the monster resi dence halls of the south campus resemble small cities in themselves. That seems even more so now that a student run radio station WMO, seems ready to take to the airways at least for Morrison residents.

The other two nights will feature an hour of "solid soul" provided by two of Morrison's Negro d.j.'s. STARDUST will provide two hours of quiet study music from 8-10. Another rock hour takes ov er from 10-11, when, it has been suggested, "everybody is taking a break for a coke." The last two hours of broad cast each day will be "Dee jay's Choice" and will provide ........ 'Jug Jumpers9 Squawk Plunk, Beat ent and ready to start at 7:30 came after the trip was made. Monday night Nominees for president, vice president, secretary and treas urer of the student body, sen ior class officers, the presi dent of the CAA and NSA del egates will be selected. Travis invited all interested persons to attend the conven tion. ' "The committee felt he was not on official business of Stu dent Government," Longest said. Powell had no comment on the refusal to appropriate the money Thursday. He said he had requested about $20. By HUNTER GEORGE DTH Staff Writer Somebody spit into a jug and the whole thing commenced. A pair of guitars, a banjo, wash board, harmonica, mandolin, bass tub and squawking kazoo joined in and the "Overseas Stomp" resulted through no fault of its own. What it was, '-was Bebo's Bunkom Jug Jumpers. And they really do. Knees bending, heads bobbing, feet stomping, the seven-member group swung through some of its numbers Wednesday afternoon in a practice ses sion that could only be described as "im provised.". The tender notes of "Sweetheart of Sigma Chi," the rock tones of "Search in' " and the blues sound of "Troubled Mind" all were incorporated into a mod ern version of the Memphis Jug Band's music of 40 years ago. Bebo's Jug Jumpers were formed last October when Dave Olney, Jack Herrick and Mike Sheehan got together with Polk Rutherford and Bebo (Howard) White to play jug band music for kicks. Pretty soon they were playing for money. - Olney, Herrick and Sheehan, who at tended the same high school in Boston, brought with them a Northern jug band style, while Rutherford and White con tributed a Southern blue grass and coun try style. What's the difference? "Well, there's not much," said Olney. "Polk used to play ragtime and blue grass, but we've urbanized him." "We're trying to re-create the music of the era when jug band music flourish ed back in 1927," said Bebo. Out Notes "No, we're not, either," quipped an other member of the group. "We just like to get off the stage before we're thrown off." Asked how the group got its name, one member replied: "Bebo had the best name, Polk was from Buncombe Coun ty, Olney has d jug head, and "Jump ers" just alliterated nicely." Two new members, Jock Lauterer and Mike Kirby, recently joined the other five, bringing with them a guitar, har monica, kazoo, garden hose (tuba sound) and crow call. Lauterer plays all of these and "any thing that's left over." Practicing about three times a week, the jug band plays almost any kind of engagement. "If there's a six pack, we're in," de-. clared Herrick. So far they have entertained at the - Wesley Foundation, the Dividing Line in Durham and at a fraternity party. They are scheduled to appear with folk singer Steve Gillette next Monday, Wednesday and Friday at the Rendevouz Room in Graham Memorial. They will also play at the Fine Arts Festival in the spring. The group's appearance is almost as improvised as its music. Wearing maroon and white striped T shirts, motorcycle and cowboy boots. Dix ieland hats, blue jeans and one "bor rowed" red band jacket from Wellesley High School in Boston, the seven jug jumpers present a sinister front. But that one, huge, grimy, bare foot that extends across the top of the tub bass conveys adequately the impression of the good old, down-home jug band music they play. . 1 f J " 1 - ... ii r " i , 4 v " jSv A I?, I i Jug Band Sound YOU'VE NEVER HEARD a happier sound than "Jug Band." And so it goes . . . "Washington at Valley Forge, Frozen Cold George up and say, Bo-do-pee-oh, Bo-do-pee-oh-do!" If that doesn't make any sense, it's because it's not supposed to. This group is UNC's Bebo's Bunkom Jug Jumpers (That's Bebo with the grin and banjo), a happy team that concentrates more on having fun rather than producing a unified musical sound. The thing about jug band music is, the happiness is communicable it's the happiest sound around. DTH Photo by Jock Lauterer ..-.---------'-"- a range from heavy classical to the most pop of rock and roll. Sunday afternoons will be given over to Broadway shows, big band sounds and semi classical music. "We want to play what the students want to hear," said Martin. "After we've been on the air for a couple of weeks, we will take a poll of what the students like and don't like about our format and change accordingly." The first format change has already been planned, even though broadcasting hasn't be gun yet. "There are 12 coeds from the Nurses' Dorm who are planning to be deejays al ready," Hudson said. The only hold-up is permission from Dean of Women Katherine Carmichael allowing coeds up stairs in Morrison. Since coeds are now attend ing classes in Morrison on the eighth floor, "the permission will probably be forthcoming soon," said Hudson. The idea for WMO was con ceived "about last October" when it was learned that Scott College was operating a part time radio station. "We thought that Morrison should and could have a radio station of its own," said Hudson. Communications have al ways been a big problem in the residential college system, according to John Ellis, Gov ernor of Morrison, and "we felt that the most direct form of communication possible was a radio station. We're hoping that WMO will restore concrete unity to Morrison Residential College. We're looking forward to WMO as being the great est achievement of this year. The radio station should da more for residential college growth than any other single factor," he said. There is "a fairly good chance" that reception will be posible outside of Morrison's building. Estimates run from "two fifths of the campus," according to Prof. Rdss Scroggs of the RTVMP and physics departments, to "may be the whole Chapel Hill area" according to Blair, an amateur electronics expert. 1 "WMO may broadcast say ing, 'serving Morrison Residen tial College and the greater Morrison area,' " said Hudson. Students last year voted to have campus radio, but the proposal was turned down in student legislature.
