D 3) 75 Years of Editorial Freedo Volume 75, Number 32 CHAPEL HILL, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1957 Founded February 23, 1893 .Draft Qamics Get Nod From ' Stoadeints Poll Wk d fa Kr yp ww I J if Ml I 1 Staff By ERNEST H. ROBL of The Daily Tar Heel Staff A random poll of 319 students and staff members here showed a majority favoring "draft clincs which are generally pointed toward methods of postponing or avoiding military draft service." The same campus-wide poll also showed a majority of the respondents approving of such clinics being held on college and university campuses. The poll was conducted by journalism students 'at the University during the past week, with the results being made available to the Daily Tar Heel Wednesday. Though 161 students and staff members at the University said they favored draft clinics, 101 of the persons questioned said that they were opposed to such activities, while 57 persons were neu tral on the question. Tbo sample poll was composed of approximate equal numbers of men and women, and also attempted to get equal representation from members of the various classes as well as Staff members. Fifty-two per cent of the respondents to the poll said that they themselves would use such draft counseling if available, or in the case of women that they would recommend that a brother or son use such a service. The poll was based on the trend toward the establishment of draft clinics by left wing anti-Vietnam organizations across the country and did not focus on any particular campus. The University presently does not have any draft clinics, though the campus chapter of Students for a Democratic Society SDS) has announced its intentions of providing such counsel ing. The following statement was read to each interviewee: "A new service is being offered on university campuses around the natron selective service 'seminars or draft clinics' intended to furnish information to those called for service; the in formation is usually pointed toward methods of postponing or avoiding military service." Each respondent was then asked five questions. 1. What is your opinion of such clinics desirable, undesirable or neutral? A majority of 161 felt the clinics to be desirable; 101 thought them undesirable while 57 were neutral. 2. Do you approve of such activities being held on a university campus? Again a majority (222) felt that the campus was ap propriate for such counseling; 72 were opposed with 25 being neutral on this question. 3. Do you believe that the services, (the Department of Defense) should be represented at such clinics? Of the 319 respondents, 270 said the armed services should be present; 44 said they should not and 5 had no opinion. 4. Do you believe that such clinics should attempt to present both viewpoints; that is, reasons for the draft and its possible benefits to the inductee and his society? Here 231 voted yes, 26 vetoed the suggestion and two had no opinion. 5. Would you avail yourself of such services if you received an induction notice (or, if a woman, would you recommend that a brother or son avail himself of such services)? Here 176 answered yes, 103 no, while 20 were undecided. One tmember of the campus Naval ROTC unit said he felt such draft clinics would do more harm than good. The junior, who refused to give his name, said that such activities would "have a demoralizing effect on the guys in Vietnam." Among the students taking a neutral stand on the desirability of such clinics was James Dawson, a senior English major from I Durham. He said his answer, would depend on what was con ducting the clinic. One coed, however, summed up her attitude toward the draft by telling the interviewer, "They (the armed services) get you in the end anyway." Another student, however, took exactly the opposite view. rrn ,0 n O .Rate .Redkaced Bv E. fa By PAM HAWKINS of The Daily Tar Heel Staff The reduction of T-sticker costs from $5 to $2.50 was ap proved by Chancellor J. Carlyle Sitterson late Wed nesday. Sitterson accepted the change on a recommendation from the Chancellor's Com mission on Taffic and Safety, which finalized its proposal at a meetin Oct. 3. Refunds will be made to those persons ' holding T -stickers "as soon as ap propriate accounting and cashier procedures can be worked out," said Alien Waters, chairman of the com mission and University direc tor of construction and engmeering. The formal commission's re quest for the revision never reached the Chancellor's office. "I'm going to approve it once I see exactly what it en compasses," Sitterson said before telephoning Waters for the details of the report. Waters read the report to Sitterson over the telephone. "I am immediately ap proving this with pleasure," Sitterson said following the briefing. "I would not have had the commission look into this mat ter specifically if it had not been my intention to approve it," he said. Sitterson had appeared anx ious to receive the report after he read an account of the com mission's action in the Daily Tar Heel Oct. 4. But he re mained puzzled as the weeks passed without receiving notification of the action. Sources indicated that the report had been mailed earlier. "I'm delighted that the chan cellor has shown the good faith that he evidenced when we talked to him last month," said Scott Goodfellow, the only stu dent on the 17 member com mission. "I hope that this sort of ef- The pickets fell back as protest leaders called for an orderly fort will create better rapport between tne sxuaenis ana ad ministration in their struggle to alleviate other parking problems." , " v 1 Chuck Belville, a junior chemistry major from Atlantic City, N. J, said he saw no need for draft clinics, adding, "Anybody who wants to get out of the damn service can. There are no nitwits around here." A junior coed from Grand Rapids, Mich., found these clinics "desirable." Connie Denhacn added, however, that such clinics could not always be taken seriously. Tom Worley, a junior from Chattanooga, Tenn., came out for draft counseling because, "someone is speaking out and presen ting a point of view and ft makes people think.' A number of students said they considered draft clinics a way of cheating on a legal obligation, and they opposed them for that reason. Some faculty members, including Dr. Lyman Cotton, pro fessor of English, said they did not consider draft clinics "a pro per activity for the campus." Cotton said he considered such ac tivities "quite apart from University services." Many of the students saw the current draft system as being directly connected to the Vietnam war and based their answers on their views of the war. In general, these who brought the Vietnam war into their responses and said they favored the war, were also strongly op posed to the idea of draft clinics.

Under Student Government Code, if the petition gets signatures of 10 per cent of the student body a referendum will have to be held, but because of the wording of the Code, the purpose of the vote would have to be to instruct Student Legislature to hold a referen- 4uta on the Honor System. n that referendum passed, another campus-wide v o t e would be held, this time on M en Th fowb Out Of Coed Panel; Police, Protestors, Clash Again OAKLAND, Calif.

Named to share the $62,000 cash prize and other honors were Prof. Haldan K.

Thye faculty of medicine of the Toyal Caroline Institute, which makes the annual award, said the prize was given to the three scientists for "their discoveries concerning the primary chemical and physiological visual processes in the eye." Ford And UAW Still At Odds DETROIT Ford Motor Co. and the United Auto Workers, reportedly still at odds over automatic cost-of-living raises, drove Wednesday toward settlement of the 42-day-old auto strike. A news blackout, traditionally a sign that settlement was near, moved into its eighth day, a record. But indications were strong that bargainers were narrowing issues and moving steadi ly closer to final agreement on a new three-year contract Ford's 160,000 UAW members walked off their jobs at mid night Sept. 6, idling the nation's second largest auto (maker and fourth largest corporation.

An all-white jury told by both sides that the good name of Mississippi is at stake began deliberations Wednesday in the case of 18 white men accused by the federal government of conspiring in the 1964 deaths of three civil rights workers. U. S. district Judge Harold Cox turned the 10 day old trial over to the panel, made up of seven women and five men, at 5:24 p.m. EDT. The Jury could find the defendants guilty, not guilty, or refuse to rule, in which case a hung jury would result and a mistrial would be declared. Ly KAREN FREEMAN of The Daily Tar Heel Staff Instead of discussing the coed's role at the University-as publicized the WRC-sponsored panel discussion Tuesday night centered upon freshman rules in the que stion-answer Taxi Boycotting Day oved To Saturday M A boycott of Chapel Hill tax is originally scheduled for to day has been postponed until Saturday "because of numerous suggestions," ac cording to Stu Rosen, chairman of the Student Government Discounting Com mittee. The boycott is a protest of the doubling of taxi fares on Saturdays of home football games. The boycott, called by the Discounting Committee, was at first set for today because the committee didn't think the boycott could get enough sup port on a Saturday. But, Rosen said, since the announcement of the boycott, many people have said they would be willing to boycott on Saturday and that there should be a boycott on Saturday. The doubling of rates on Saturday .between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. is permitted under a Chapel Hill ordnance passed on Jan. 9, 1967. Since 1956, taxis have been allowed to increase rates on Saturdays of home football games. Rosen termed the boycott "the beginning of a long line of action againt merchants unless something can be done about prices." He called the Saturday in crease "just another example of how a monopoly in town can be used to fleece students." Rosen urged all persons to support the boycott 4in order to show that the students are going to stop taking bad service and high prices from the merchants in town." session. Men were asked to leave during the question-answer period, although they had been invited by WRC, because of what panelist Dr. Ann Scott termed their "inhibiting effect upon Southern girls who have been brought up not to say anything around men." The girls, when allowed to speak in the absence of men, kept to the discussion of specific women's rules that the men had begun. The panel, however, said it had been pro mised by WRC that the session would not be concerned with rules, but with philosophy. "WRC should have told the panel what the girls actually wanted to discuss," said both Dr. Scott and moderator Dr. James Sloane. The panel itself, which was composed of an authority on the woman's status in society, an adniinistrator, a student, and a faculty member, laid the groundwork for a philosophical discussion of the coed as each panelist gave his ideas on the coed from the standpoint of his respective field. Dr. Scott, an associate pro fessor at Duke and chairman of the Governor's Council on . the Status of Women in North Carolina, stressed the oppor tunities now open to women. Dean Katherine Kennedy Carmichael, as Dean o f Women, said that the purpose of an administrator is to pro vide stability and order. "I dont know of any society where there are no specific rules for women," she said. Mary King, a senior political science major at UNC, follow ed Dean Carmichael with an explanation of a new feeling of student activism toward rules. She condemned the idea of "in loco parentis," saying that , "there is no longer a place for it in a public institution it is incompatible with the twen tieth century." Dr. Sam Hill, a UNC pro fessor of theology, said it is time for the coed to enter society and one way to do this is through the residence col leges. "We're doing society a disservice by segregating ac cording to sex. (Continued on Pare 6) support of the Honor System. Or, if the 10 per cent is not obtained Student Legislature could decide, without the obligation of a petition, to hold a referendum on the matter. ,The referendum would ask students how effective and how good . they considered the Honor System and whether they favored holding a con vention to - redefine the system," -Earl Hadden, DiPhi president said. Any changes passed by a convention "would have to be approved by the Faculty Com mittee on Student Discipline, The Di-Phi Senate passed a resolution Tuesday night ques--rtioning the effectiveness of the. system : and requesting ,the referendum following a debate on the matter. The resolution criticized the system because it forces the student to turn in fellow students or be considered dishonorable. It also termed ft a "purely perfunctory organ where students may play with another students future and play at 'justice' while having their play approved from above." Hadden commented that "if the students did come out with a liberal Honor System the faculty committee would prob ably knock it down or delay it a long time." "Students should not be re quired to enforce a system in which they do not fully believe and the faculty committee shouldn't expect them to," he said. Drags: 'Banse Macabre' By PENNY RAYNOR of The Daily Tar Heel Staff Three experts told students here Wednesday that taking narcotic drugs without the guidance of a doctor was a "danse macabre on the point of a needle."
