Plagued by apathy and ani mosity, the college (composed of Old East, Old West and : Battle-Vanee-Pettigrew dorms), may climax a year of inde- . cision and inactivity on March 21 when residents go to the polls and decide whether to : disband the college. ; ; The proposal to disband is almost sure to pass, according to Curtis Patton, president of Old West. : : "The college never really got off the ground" he said. "There was absolutely no in terest in it right from the start." He noted that when the campus-wide referendum was told last year to determine senti ment for the residence college system, his dorm voted five-to-one against the measure. "We have enough trouble generating interest in the dorm let alone the residence col lege," headded. Davie College's social pro gram has been less than suc cessful. For instance, last year a picnic was postponed because of a bad weather forecast. On the appointed day, however, the sun shone beautifully. In September, the residents sponsored a dance, wiich was attended by 40 persons and was termed a "tremendous bust." In November, the college's Beat Dook parade float had to be altered at the last minute because "the officials thought it was too gross.

Another problem is animo sity among the three dorms. "Old East and Old West just don't give a damn about each other," he said. And a third problem is apathy. The Davie senate went three months this year (December to March) without holding a mesting. When it did manage to get together last fall, a quorum was seldom present, Patton said. For nearly a year now, Old West has seriously been con sidering "secession" from the residence college. Last week officers from the three dorms agreed that this might be the best idea. Coed College Agency Proposed By Longiue By STEVE KNOWLTON DTH Staff Writer Co-ed residence colleges got another boost yesterday when Residence College Com mission Chairman Chuck Lon "v1ij ?T mZ?t '"u T a piupusai 10 eauiuuau a u- f0r c-edu- cational colleges. 2 L irTfc M2 uZalnL t co-ed college system. conference Mike McGowan g? As a result, a special item will be presented the nearly 300 Davie residents in the general election March 21, and their response can make Da vie College the first on campus to fold. If this happens, the $1,100 balance in the college's trea sury will be divided among the three dorms. (The money was intended for social activi ties, but was never used.) Patton feels that his dorm could be a more active unit if it is released from Davie Residence College. Under the present system, Old West must obtain permission from the college to use its funds for an activity. "We could have some good parties," he said, "but we can't even spend our own money right now." "At present, there is no group to handle this growing concern of our residence col lege system," Longine said. "I see the establishment of this committee as a vital next step in t the continuing development of a functional rp(;irjp-- collet svstem " Ap 2f gstudem-have t . th , t month allege system can be func- tional onthe Carolina cam- sions, there has been almost unanimous agreement that the experiment is worth trying. Under the proposals set forth by the group, each wom en's residence hall would be affiliated with a men's into a Residential College. At pres ent, only the men's residence halls are. considered to be colleges. If such a unification is feasible, as Longine feels it is, there would be increased interaction between the men's and women's houses of the college. Aside from the obvious im provement in social interac tion, there are possibilities for better academic oppor tunities, with the continuence of the living-learning college classrooms experiment.

Daily Tar Heel Red Chinese Intervention Is 'Possible- By STEVE KNOWLTON DTH Staff Writer RALEIGH Senate Ma jority Leader Mike Mansfield' said yesterday that U. S. forces should keep in m i n d the 'very great danger" of Chinese intervention in the Vietnam war. "If you keep on escalating, you run out of room to esca late and the only place to go is North. The closer you get to the Chinese border the more likely the chances of Chinese intervention." "If we ever cross the 17th parallel which I hope we do not we should keep this in mind," Mansfield said. The remarks were made Monday afternoon at a press conference at the Raleigh-1 Durham Airport. . He also made proposals about ending the Vietnam, war. He suggested: building a defense perimeter below the 17th parallel, a policy of neu tralization of all of southeast Asia and a "cease - fire and stand fast" on air, land and sea. "This must be done prior to negotiations," he said. Mansfield also advocated lowering the voting age to 18. On differences with the af ministration, he said, ,, "I do have a responsibility and a conscience." He added that there were minor differences between his stand and that of the administration, but that he supports tion. the administra' Bid fsii i . see what the limits and the possibilities are." According to the present proposal, the committee would be composed of six voting members; a represen tative from the MRC, WRC, CWC, the Chancellor's Com mittee on Residence Colleges, and two from the RCC; and two ex officio members, one from the Dean of Men's and one from the Dean of Wom en's office. The group would be able to make recommendations di rectly to the Deans' offices, and could make legislative recommendations through the parent RCC to student legislature. DTH Wins Award The Daily Tar Heel was named the second best col lege paper in North and South" Carolina and three staff writers received awards for their writing at the annual Charlotte Observer state collegiate press awards ban quet Saturday. The DTH, edited by Fred Thomas first semester and by Scott Goodfellow this semes- ter, came in second behind the Wake Forest Yellow and Gold, a weekly. Bill Amlong placed first in the newswriting contest and Don Campbell and Peter Har ris got honorable mention in the feature writing and edi torial categories. Personnel Manager John Schweitzer explained the pur pose of th contest as recruit ing effort on the part of the newspapers. He admitted that it was based on a selfish mo tive on the part of the paper. This year there was a drop in entries in the contest which disturbed the two sponsoring dailies. The DTH won first place last year for best newspaper from a large school. This year it "was praised highly for its efforts," according to Pet er Harris, associate editor.

Court decision uphold ing his demand for a speedy trial "was a vindication of the constitutional ' principals on which this country was built" "This decision," Peter Klopfer said, "was much more than a personal victory. "I am delighted at the de cision but in all honesty, I am not altogether surprised." The nation's highest court ruled that North Carolina may not indefinitely postpone prosecution of Klopfer on a trespass indictment. The Supreme Court said the indefinite delay violated the Sixth Amendment to the U. S. Constitution which guar antees a speedy trial. Klopfer was indicted in Or ange County after he and oth ers staged a sit-in at a Chap el Hill cafe that they claimed practiced racial discrimina tion. He was tried in Superior Court in March 1964, but jurors failed to reach a ver dict. A mistrial was de clared. a story on the Cone Mills strike.

Klopfer moved for a speedy trial but the North Carolina Supreme Court on Jan. 14, 1966, upheld the lower court. Chief Justice Earl Warren announced the high court's decision Monday in Klopfer's case, noting that the Supreme Court had never decided the issue before. Speaking from the bench, Warren said: "The right to a speedy trial is as basic as any right contained in the Sixth Amendment." Nine of the justices fully subscribed to the decision with the two others agreeing on the result in the case it self. Warren termed an "extra ordinary criminal procedure" the North Carolina Supreme Court's position allowing re- trial of Klopfer at any time on a suspended trespass in- dictment. The chief justice said: "The pendency of the in dictment may subject him to public scorn and deprive him of employment, and almost certainly will force curtail ment of his speech, associa tions and participation in un-! popular causes." 7 - f .-I 111.. .

Mansfield, speaking before the Carolina Forum in Memorial Hall said, "The options in this war are running out; the alternatives which might lead to negotiations grow fewer. "It seems to me that the cause of a peaceful and honorable settlement may possibly be advanced cer tainly it cannot be hurt by modest recourse at this time to the procedural machinery of the United Nations. "The U. N. does have a re sponsibility to try to contribute to the resolution of this con flict. That responsibility is ex plicit in the Charter and every member nation, including ourselves, shares that respon sibility by solemn Treaty obli gation," he said. The Montana Senator said that even though U. N. Sec retary General U Thant had made efforts to bring about peace in Vietnam, he had act ed in "his personal and diplo matic capacity rather than in his Secretarial capacity of car rying out organizational decis ions of the U.N." "The fact is," he said, "the U.N., as an organization, has not yet entered into the Viet namese problem." Mansfield suggested that this government should initi ate two resolutions to be brought to vote in the. U.N Security Council: . "One, that the Security direct and indirect, including China and North Vietnam, to participate in an open discuss ion of the conflict in Vietnam and ways and means of ending it; "Two, that the Security Council request the Interna tional Court to render an ad visory opinion on the current applicability of the Geneva Ac cords of 1954 and 1962 and the obligations which these en gagements may place on the present belligerents in Viet- nam." Mansfield said the question of how or why the U. S.. became involved in Vietnam is no longer relevant. "The question now is how can this war be ended at the soonest possible moment in an honorable peace for our selves and for all deeply en meshed in it," he said. He added that a unilateral withdrawal of the U. S. would not provide a workable solu- tion. Mansfield listed other pro- posals he had made during the selves and western Europe re past year that would possibly garding committment to NATO ease the situation in V i e t - is becoming almost an embar nam: rassment."

"Whether we agree with him or not, whether we like him or not, whether we abhor him or love him, that man is the President of the United States." Mansfield spoke at lengh about U. S. committments abroad, expressing reserva tions. "As I see it," the Senator said, "We have undertaken so many and scattered deiense obligations that any need for the simultaneous honoring of a group of these committ- ments would find us hard- pressed to provide even a li- mited response. Dealing specifically with the North Atlantic Treaty Organi zation, Mansfield said we are grossly overcommitted to Europe.
