The Demonstration

There were demonstrators

a middle-aged man in a suit
and tie, started walking back
and forth in front of Memorial
Hall, where the Vice Presi
dent of the United States was
scheduled to speak shortly.
His name was Lloyd Jacobs
and he said he represented the
National States Rights Party
in Durham.
'They'll be taking your Bi

tered to an amused crowd of
students that was gathering
outside the hall. "Then they'll
put you in concentration

Should birth control pills be made available to anyone
who wants them? This is one of the prominent questions
on many campuses today. An opinion poll of UNC coeds
showed about half for the pill, half against, for varying
reasons.
"Yes," said one coed, "I don't think making the pill
available would result in a decrease in moral standards
because the morals should be already there. If one is
going to have relations the pill will only be a safety de
vice. If you plan to use the pill you have already solved
your moral question."
as for medical reasons, the pill should be available, but
Another disagreed. "I think that in certain cases, such
not for general use because not everyone would know how
to use it. To some it could become a license for im
morality. It would be much easier to yield to temptation."
"It should be made' available," said another. "I don't
feel that it would be a signal to bring about wholesale
promiscuity. It would alleviate many unfortunate circum
stances, such as forced marriages, which happen when it
isn't available. Changes in the moral code which bring
standards down will have to result in increased avail
ability." "No," another said. "Because unmarried girls (call me

in front of the auditorium.
The signs read: "Hubert,

"Drop Rusk and McNamara,

As the minutes passed, the
number of marchers grew. By
2:15 p.m. there were 30 pick
ets (many without signs) and
a crowd of 150 student onlook
ers. Twenty minutes later, the

was marching, but tagged
along at the end of the line
anyway.
There were students from

said they represented the Lib

marched, too.
At 2:20 p.m. a shiny black
Lincoln Continental with an
American flag blowing from
the radio antenna drove up to .
the curb and stopped in front
of Memorial Hall.

Finally, at. 2:50 right on
schedule another shiny black
limousine, escorted by several
police cars, rolled into Hanes
parking lot. It was attended
by scores of campus and city
police, SBI agents and, of
course, the Secret Service.
When the door to that car
opened, Vice President Hubert
Humphrey got out and was
immediately whisked into the
hall.
The crowd didn't disperse. It
just adjourned to the open
windows of the packed build

speak.
An hour and a half later,
when Humphrey was escorted
out amid great confusion and
snapping of flash bulbs, the
crowd was still there.

But as the Vice President

is going to do it they should figure out their own ways to
avoid pregnancy."
"If the pill were made available," another coed said,
"I think relations would occur more with people you don't
love, for many people hesitate only because of fear of
pregnancy. Given the pill, it would become a moral ques
tion rather than a question of fear."
"But," added another coed, "one is going to have re
lations, pill or no pill. There are enough protections right
now for those who would make use of the pill if it were
suddenly available."
"It should be made available to girls over 21. It would
not lower morals, but only lower the number of unwanted
pregnancies."
Still another disagreed. "It shouldn't be made avail
able because the fear of pregnancy has probably . kept
many girls from relations."
'And love and sex would become completely separated
eventually," another added.
One girl used a different explanation in condemning
the pill. .
"If the pill is made available more relations will go on
than do," she said. It would make this occur more fre
. quently with those you love, thus breaking down the moral
values between the two of you and eventually resulting in
loss of your self respect.

First Test Of NSA

By DON CAMPBELL

(Fourth in a Series)
Though Carolina was host to
a regional convention of NSA
in February of 1949, the inter
est in the organization remain
ed low.
Pill
ping the bombing in the past
had only led to increased in
filtration of South Vietnam,
and that regardless of con
tacts with Hanoi through inter
mediaries, had resulted in no
peace talks.
, "We are prepared to speak
with Hanoi on any responsi
ble forum ... if we can get
some assurance it will not be
just talk.
"We went through two and
one -half years of talks dur
ing Korea," he continued, "and
most of the Americans killed
in that conflict were killed
during those talks."
Humphrey was questioned
by a panel including Student
Body President Bob Powell,
economics professor David
Lapkin, American history

The NSA At .UNC
Al Lowenstein headed the
UNC delegation to the NSA
convention in the summer of
that year, and returned with
some strong words for the Stu
dent Legislature.
't's time for the Univer
sity to stop wavering and re
alize that the NSA is us," he
said.
Lowenstein said the conven
tion had convinced this dele
gation that UNC "ought to
stay in NSA and become more
active in it."
The dominant phases of that
year's convention, Lowenstein
reported, was student free
dom, federal aid to education,
race relations and internation
alism. In the international field,
the convention had voted to co
operate with projects with the
International Student Union, a
Communist dominated organi
zation in eastern Europe, if
the ISU would meet NSA
conditions.
UNC provided the "only
southern leadership" at the
convention, - Lowenstein said,
"and for this reason it is im
perative that we continue to
take an active part in the
Association."
Again things were quiet on
the NSA front '
At a meeting in Madison,
Wisconsin in January of 1950,

NSA singled out the loyalty

Apparently, controversy was
hard to come by in those days,

lion on all programs for the
poor in 1961," Humphrey said,
"By 1968, we will spend more
than $25 billion.
"We haven't sacrificed
American society" because of
our involvement in Vietnam,
he said. "And after the war,
we will be able to convert even
more of our resources to our
society."
Powell asked the Vice pres
ident why the U. S. has put
the "burden of negotiating"
the Vietnam war on the other
side.
Humphrey responded with
'fLet's look at the facts not
guesses."
Teople who know most
about Hanoi's willingness to
negotiate are people who have
never been there," Humphrey
chided.
He then recounted the sev
eral bombing pauses and oth
er attempts to come to terms
with Hanoi, the latest coming
two weeks ago through a meet
ing of Premier Kosygin and
Prime Minister Wilson in Lon
don. "Wilson asked us for con
cessions" to bring about nego
tiations, Humphrey said. We
conceded and those conces
sions were sent to Hanoi.
"Wilson and Kosygin receiv
ed no response to our conces
sions," Humphrey added.
Humphrey said the problem
of peace is "not in Washing
ton it's in Hanoi."
"We are prepared to leave
South Vietnam six months aft
er peace comes," Humphrey
said. "But we are not going
to leave 14 million people there
as victims of aggression from
the north."
'We're promoting political
democracy in South Vietnam,
he said, "and when the na
tionally elected government
gets in office there next sum
mer, you'll see peace in Viet
nam." When that election comes,
Humphrey said, "You'll see
more Viet Cong defections and
renewed support for the Viet
namese people."
Professor Wells asked Hum
phrey about the importance of
talks with Russia on ballistic
missile control and the effect
of the Vietnam war on those
talks.
Humphrey called the talks
"highly important" and stress
ed the necessity of forestall
ing an arms race with the
Soviet Union.
"The Soviet Union is a much
more cautious and prudent
power than she was 20 years
ago," he said.
"We didn't get where we are
today in our relations with the
Soviet Union by letting her
take what she wanted."
ilThe Russians have learned
to live in this world because
we stood up to them," he con
tinued. "It's about time the Ameri
can people understood this."
Humphrey said that the free
world must stand up against
China just as the U. S. has
stood up against Rusia.
He cited support of our po
sition in South Vietnam by
southeast Asian government
heads as evidence as this
stand against communism.
"Those who are closest to
the source of the trouble un
derstand it most," he said, in
reference to the southeast
Asian nations.
Asked how far criticism of
war should be allowed to go
Humphrey said "We shouldn't
brand people who disagree
with us as disloyal.
"Dissent is just one - half
of the coin," Humphrey de
clared, 1 think the campus
should always be open for dis
