U.N.C. Library Serials Dept. Box 870 Chapel H t,i I,-, Alt By STEVE KNOWLTON DTH Staff Writer Both campus political par ties had conventions Monday night. Both conventions met to nominate candidates for stu dent body and class officers. Both startet late. At each, there was a lot of noise and hand-clapping. And that's about all the sim ilarities. In Carroll Hall, the UP dele gates met to choose Bill Pur dyi as their presidential hope ful, and they went through the nominating process with the applause in the proper places and motions of acclamation properly timed.

Lipsitz Writes Book Of Poems By JOE COLTRANE DTII Staff Writer A UNC professor of Politi cal Science, Dr. Lou Lipsitz, has published his first book of poetry. Cold Water will be released by Wesleyan Univer sity Press Feb. 26. Lipsitz, who came to UNC to teach in the summer of 1963, first began writing poetry as a teenager in Brooklyn. Its impetus, according to Lipstiz, was a "gre.at unrequieted love." . "In Cold Water," said Lip sitz, "my effort has been to avoid the poetry of the cross word puzzle, of intellectual cuteness and obscruantism. I am interested in a poetry of directness, simplicity, and pas sionate emotion. ..." Lipsitz has had poetry pub lished in magazines and poetry journals. He and his wife Jean will teach a course on Modern Poetry for the Experimental College this Spring. "Many of these poems try to speak to the political and social problems of our time undogmatic, but with grim and intense concern," said Lipsitz. "And not separate, but direct ly connected with these, there are poems of personal joy and gaiety." Cold Water will be available at the Intimate and the Bulls Head Bookshop as soon as shipments begin. i r rrmn n 1 rir"i ' minium wiiwiunin nju n.i pujh wini..winui m.iiii i ,. y ft ...,y " tT rill -u iii m- in - m-iLnaiWiruai. i im IT it -ir r i n " t ,., m, rifr- - m ... n -,-r-T, - , ..-. - , ,, .... , v-ir - - 1 - . -..- 1 GM'S COFFEE HOUSE this week is featuring Steve Gil lete "direct from New York's BITTER END." Two UNC jug bands are appearing with Gillette. On Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday nights at 9 p.m. the Grindls appear. This Wednesday and Friday night at the same time. Bebo's Bunkom Paid Their Dollar In one and one-half hour, it was all over and the 272 delegates went home having picked candidates for four stu dent body poditions, five sen ior class officers, four NSA representatives and a presi dent of the Carolina Athletic Association. Purdy got about two minutes of standing ovation from the body when he made his ac ceptance speech after his un opposed nomination: The whole UP convention moved, to borrow a sports writer's phrase, with calm ef ficiency.

Dietz has been active in edu cation reform in his two years in student legislature. He was instrumental in the institution of the experimental college and the pass-fail program. The Morehead scholar is one of three students on the Chan cellor's Commission on Resi dence Hall Improvement and has worked with John Ellis and Parker Hudson, Morrison executives in getting a class started there on an experimen tal basis. , In legislature, Dietz has in troduced a bill to allow schol arship students to pledge fra ternities and worked with stu dent body President Bob Pow ell on judicial reform. "The emphasis this election seems to be on education re form, but some candidates are merely saying what they'd like to jdo. I can look to what I've already done ' and am " doing J now," Dietz said. The state student legislator feels that "We are now at a juncture. We must decide whether to move forward with what has already been start ed or to slow down and allow the good that has been done to go to waste. "I feel that we must go for ward," Dietz said. "Move for ward in the areas of increased responsibility in the adminis tration and in the student body." The Syracuse, N.Y. native added "It's time to make stu dent legislature a really ex citing aim of our student government.

ROBL DTH Staff Writer GREENSBORO You could tell they were lawyers from the bulging briefcases they carried with them. The lawyers came first, then the reporters, and slow ly the courtroom began to fill up. After long postpone ment, the time had finally came to dissect North Caro lina's much disputed speaker ban. But where there had been fireworks before, there was quiet discussion punctuated occasionally by a burst of good natured laughter. The spacious courtroom wasn't even half filled as the time ticked toward 10 o'clock. There were a handful of curious spectators, the plaintiffs and the defendants. It all started with a round of handshakes. The stu dents suing the president and the chancellor shook hands with these officials, the lawyers shook hands with each other and with each others clients. The ten-member board, as a result, issued a statement breaking all ties with the CIA. "Many people are wondering why the National Supervisory Board so strongly objected to the NSA-CIA relationship and why it took such immediate steps to terminate that rela tionship," he said in explain ing the purpose of the meeting.

On CIA Relations The National Supervisory Board of the United States Na tional Student Association has met for three days in an at tempt to determine the extent of CIA penetration into past and present NSA activities. We are shocked at the ethi cal trap into which young men of great integrity have been placed by covert actions of the CIA. Honorable people act ing out of the best of motives All Cam To tones of dictatorship aspira tions implied. At 9:06, about the time the UP gang was breaking up over in Carroll, Hayes called for a vote. "All those in favor of clos ing debate on the appeal of the amendment to the adoption ol the report of the Creden tials Committee, please rise." After a moment's hesitation while everyone deciphered Haye's statement, the appro priate team rose and the coun ters, two from Kiel's camp and two from Travis's, count ed. It carried. It was then amended, voted on, passed, and the TEP's could sit down. It was then an nounced that only three Ques- College Newspaper WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY Off -J: Mm The clerk closed the doors, and a few minutes later he intoned the solemn chant, "All rise. "Oh yes, Oh yes, oh yes, the honorable . . ." The judges came in an settled back in their comfor table black rocking chairs, and for two hours they rocked back and forth in rhythm to the drone of the attorneys. Occasionally one of the judges broke the monotony by asking a question. Then things droned on again. The real arguments had already been taken care of by the briefs filed through the past months. Now it was just a formality. And when the chief judge finally reported the court adjourned, there was no commotion, no sign of relief. Everyone shook hands again, and everyone laughed. You would never have known who was suing whom by looking at this jovial crowd. Of NSA Ad vis were faced with an impossible choice: to expose the relation ship and thereby harm themselves and hundreds of others or to remain quiet and thereby be dishonest to new generations of students. As was pointed out by Ram parts, officers during the last two years have had sufficient courage to attempt a third course: gradual quiet disen gagement. But even this course was not possible due to the sinister nature of the re lationship which demanded contact and cooperation with the CIA even while in the act of disengagement. This relationship can , only be understood in the context of the surrounding network of facts. A number of individuals pri marily past and present offic ers and staff as well as oth ers familiar with the situa tion have frankly and willing ly testified before the NSB. We emphasize, however, that this testimony was adequate only for the determination of a general outline of the facts of NSA-CIA involvement and a further detailed investiga tion is necessary. FINANCIAL SUPPORT During the past fifteen years the Association has received considerable funds from the central Intelligence Agency which at one point provided as much as 80 per cent of NSA's budget. Officers of NSA negotiated for these funds di rectly with the Agency. The funds were passed from the Agency to NSA through the Foundation for Youth and Stu dent Affairs, the Catherwood tionables were in attendance. About 9:30, nominations were called for. Hayes an nohnced that in keeping with some ruling, candidates would be heard in reverse order from their nominations. Both teams wanted to be first to speak. So there followed close to three minutes of dead si lence. Then Stu Rosen, one of the three TEP's in question rose and said, "I'd like to nominate Bob Travis." All the Kiel men and wom en thought this was a brilli ant move and whistled and clapped approvingly. Bob Powell broke tradition set by ad infinitum student body presidents and nominated Dave Kiel for president. Aft mm 22, 1967 On By DON CAMPBELL DTH News Editor GREENSBORO The Speak er Ban law was called "vague, ambiguous, unconstitu tional and void on its face" in U.S. Middle District Court here yesterday. In oral arguments before a three-judge panel, Greensboro attorney, MacNeill Smith said the law had "created a storm of controversy and imposed prior restraint on speech." Smith, speaking for the plaintiffs, said further that G 1 ory Foundation, the San Jacinto Foundation, the Independence Foundation, Sidney and Esth er Rabb Foundation, and Mr. R. E. Smith. At least 15 oth er foundations and individuals have passed funds to NSA for the CIA. The last funds were received from the Agency dur ing December 1966 but are being extended in the current fiscal year. We are housed currently in a building leased from the Independence Foun dation, which is heavily sup ported by CIA funds. Funds were given for spe cific projects which included kpoverseas programs, support to foreign national unions of students, leadership training seminars and student ex change programs, represent ation at international stu dent meetings and internation al programs in the U. S. Gen eral support was also provid ed, including administrative grants and occasional dona tions to cover NSA budget ary deficits incurred by both the National and Internation al departments of the Asso ciation. No NSA co-ordinators, Stu dent Body Presidents, or Re gional Officers of the Asso ciation knew of this relation ship. To the best of our know ledge until August 1966 no member of the NSB, or its predecessor the NEC, knew of the relationship. Through the years some NSA staff in the International Commission and most of the Presidents and International Affairs Vice Presidents were approached by CIA agents or NSA offi- (Continued on Pare 4) Arg Cast Voles er Kiel's speech, balloons were thrown from the balcony and were caught by delegates who popped them at appropriate times during the last two hours of the convention. Frank Hodges, who a cou ple of years ago was SP chair man, rose to make Travis's nominating speech. He start ed with, "I appreciate Stu Rosen's nomination of Bob Travis. It isn't that I was con cerned with the order of speeches or anything, just that my pants were caught on the chair and I couldn't get up." Everyone laughed the one time in the evening that there was distinct unity in the body. Except at the end, of uameiit peaker Ban "the General Assembly's amendment to the law in No vember 1965 in effect "moved from a flat ban to a licensing system." The plaintiffs in the suit in clude former Student Body President Paul Dickson, nine other UNC students or former students, Herbert Aptheker and Frank Wilkinson. In his argument W. T. Joy ner Sr., speaking for the de fendants, said the original Speaker Ban was "abolished by the 1965 amendment" and that the purpose of the law was "to prevent exploitation of college students by Commu nists flooding the campuses." The defendants in the suit include Chancellor Sitterson; William C. Friday, president of the Consolidated University of North Carolina; the UNC Board of Trustees; and "it body politic and corporate known by and distinguished by the name of the "University of North Carolina." Hearing the arguments were: Judges Clement F. Haynesworth of the U.S. Cir cuit Court of Appeals; Edwin M. Stanley of Middle District Court; and Algernon L. Butler of the U.S. Eastern District Court. Each side was given 45 min utes to present arguments. Smith began by reading the original Speaker Ban statute, then questioned phrases in the act such as "speaking pur poses," "speaking facilities" and "member of the Commu nist Party." "There is nothing in the '65 amendment that clarifies those phrases," Smith said. f 24 J IV-'" V Vrv Lz THE WAY TO DO IT Ticket sales are going strong for Chad and Jeremy who will be in Chapel Hill this Friday night.

Founded February 23. 1893 Speaking of the Britt Com mission's study of the Ban, Smith said he was told by two senators serving on the Com mission that the commission "would have preferred repeal, but did not repeal it because of 'political practicality.' " Smith said the regulation subsequently adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Uni versity served "to impose prior restraint on all speak ers." "All student organizations are restrained," Smith contin ued, "They must file a writ ten request, the chancellor must refer the request to a committee, and in the end the chancellor may or may not ap prove the request." Smith attacked the trustee's regulation, calling it "passing the book." "The governor (as head of the Trustees Executive Com mittee) handed the job to the chancellor and the chancellor felt his hands were tied," Smith said. (The General As sembly, in its '65 amendment gave the power to approve speakers to the trustees. The trustees, in their February 28, 1966 regulation, gave the pow er to approve speakers to the chancellors of the respective state supported colleges and universities.) Judge Stanley then asked Smith if he thought Chancellor Sitterson acted with prudence in denying Herbert Aptheker and Frank Wilkinsoa a. plat form on campus. "No," Smith replied. Smith said that the Ban, by imposing "a prior restraint" (Continued on Pare 6) Opera
