Wallace had North j:;: Carolina on the tip of his tongue here Monday. :j:jtt At one point, in a discourse about Pseudo-liberals" during a question-answer session gat the National Press Club, Wallace suddenly declared: "The University of North Carolina is going to g get run over so big down in North Carolina it'll be as if they didn't exist." There was no immediate explanation why the university had provoked Wallace's wrath. Chapel Hill, however, is a pocket of anti-Wallace sentiment in a state that may go for Wallace on Nov. 5. : Several times during the day, Wallace seemed to ij: be using North Carolina as symbolic of the South ;i; in its quarrels with Washington and the Johnson administration. He demanded to know why millions of dollars j:': should be paid to federal bureaucrats "to come i: down to North Carolina and check on all the bathrooms down there." This was a reference to federal pressures for jij: desegregation of all employe facilities in industrial plants covered by federal equal-employment laws, especially those holding government contracts. : Wallace also emphasized his familiar argument ijij that each state should control its own schools, jij "All we've said is let North Carolina run its iij: school system, let Alabama run its school system," he said. 76 Years Of Editorial Freedom Volume 76, Number 19 CHAP URTH CAROLINA WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1963 Founded February 23, 1E33 study Begins On General Colle ge Required Coures To Be Reviewed By EVIE STEVENSON DTH Staff Writer Dissatisfied with general college requirements? Students now have the opportunity to voice their opinions and make suggestions to the newly-organized Special Advisory Committee on the General College Curriculum. The committee, chaired by Dr. Eugen Merzbacher of the Physics Department, hold its first meeting Monday afternoon to discuss its areas of concern. The committee was appointed by Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences Raymond Dawson at the request of the Chancellor's Advisory Committee on teaching and the Curriculum in May. I i The Chancellor's Committee recommended a reassessment of the "the rationale for all courses presently required" and "to propose changes in the requirements if no persuasive rationale is found." The new student-faculty committee will give consideration to the following: a) reducing the total number of required courses in the General College b) increasing the options within required areas c) suggesting means of improving the placement of students in proper level freshmen courses d) devising procedures for waiving certain General College requirements in exceptional cases when it is in the student's academic interest.

Cleaver has long been a spokesman of militant Black America. His autobiography, Soul on Ice, which he wrote during a 9-year prison sentence, describes the violent youth which resulted in his conviction for rape. In 1967, Huey Newton, chief of the Black Panther Party, was arrested for the murder of an Oakland patrolman and Cleaver organized a "Free Huey" campaign to represent the feelings of the militant black community. When Oakland police wounded Cleaver last April, he claimed that he "was marked for death" and that only the presence of witnesses saved him from murder by "the brazen, contemptuous, and contemtible Oakland pigs." Cleaver is currently the cause of much comment due to his selection as a lecturer on the University of California's (Continued on Page 6) the crowd of about 70 onlookers hurried over. There were no STP stickers on the fuselage, no flames painted on the tail. It was part of the "New Look" for the candidate. The plane was an American Airlines 727, with "Michelle Ann" written across the front. I wondered how they decided from which airline to hire the plane. Eastern wouldn't look good in the West. Trans World Airlines would look too foreign-policy minded. National Airlines sounds either too liberal or too totalitarian, depending on which way you lean. The crowd milled around the foot of the moveable stairway, waiting for Agnew's appearance. Undoubtedly the baby spotter was at work in one of the windows, and the Secret Service were adjusting their sunglasses. Finally Agnew emerged, impeccably dressed and with a broad smile that one would have thought he'd reserved for a duel with Hubert Humphrey. The applause wasn't much, but the expression remained the mrnwyy z, Mill . ! SPIRO AGNEW same. If the crowds weren't going to be there, thought Agnew, the people who watched it on TV were sure going to think so. One man squirmed to the front. He was wearing a button which said "Nixon-Agnew" in Greek. Jim Gardner angled in, smiling broadly and thinking (Continued on Page 4) opinions on the general college to any member of the committee. He added that a public discussion will be arranged if there is a large response to the committee's work. Chancellor Sitterson stated: "The University should always be ready to examine seriously and thoughtfully its various curricula." The committee will study the specific requirements of modern civilization, English 1,2, and 21 and foreign language. The Chancellor's Advisory Committee reported to the Committee on the General College that some course in v history and the other social 4 sciences "should have an important place in a university education." "The Committee questions, however, whether any one course, such as modern civilization, is necessarily the best way for all students to become acquainted with this vital field." Similarly, the committee is not "thoroughly convinced that any particular course in English-for example, English 21--ought to be required of all students." Dr. Merzbacher added that the committee will take into consideration current high school curriculum. He said the General College should avoid repetition of courses that (Continued on Page 6) ater Price Mike iriannecii UNC Utilities director Grey Culbreth said Tuesday that the expected increase in Carrboro water rates is probably the result of a wholesale price increase enacted by the j University Service Plants last July. Culbreth said that Carrboro purchases water wholesale from the University and that the twon has not raised its retail water rates since the University increased wholesale prices on July 1. The Carrboro Board of Aldermen is expected "to discuss the matter at its meeting next Monday, and it is expected that they will, at that time, vote to raise Carrboro water prices. Meanwhile, the emergency water pipe line being laid to Chapel Hill-Carrboro from Durham is rapidly nearing completion, according to Culbreth. Culbreth said Tuesday that the line was expected to be within 1500 feet of the Chapel Hill end by nightfall and that if those final 1500 feet are not completed today they almost certainly will be tomorrow. However, Culbreth added that a creek between Chapel Hill and Durham has not yet been crossed by the pipeline because special pipes required for that part of the line have not arrived yet. They are not expected to arrive until next week. The line will not become operational until pumps have been installed also. A break in a pipe on Cameron Avenue Tuesday wa termed "routine" by Mr. Culbreth, who said that it was not expected to cause severe leakage. Water consumption Tuesday was down slightly from Monday's figure. 2.579 million gallons were used by area residents Tuesday. Culbreth said that he thinks water consumption can be cut even more. He added that additional conservation of water will probably be necessary as the drought continues. Zimmerman Appointed State Aff airs Chairman -.

The conference was begun with a summary of the history of the present university policy now in effect. A review of the student's position and role Arguments were presented against that statement to the effect that, since marijuana has not been proven harmful, it should not be included in the policy. The role of the Resident Advisor as an arm of the administration was also questioned. One argument centered on his effectiveness as a counselor if he were forced to be a "super slueth." Legal implications such as At one point during the meeting, a member of the faculty committee walked out of the conference. He protested the presence of a local lawyer saying that he felt the meeting was for members of the university community only.

Miss Rauh came to this country to "learn something about the states which she hopes will help her as a writer and a journalist in the future, she said. Willmer first came to the U.S. as an American Field Service student when he was 17 years-old. "I wanted to see how the country has changed, so in '64 I decided I would come to college in this country. I applied to several schools and I felt this was the best school. I am taking English and American history. I feel that study here will improve my field." Both students noticed distinct differences between the U.S. and Germany. "There are lots of places in this country where it isn't crowded," Miss Rauh said. "I find a great difference between the North and the South, especially in the subordination of the female in the South. Women emancipated in Germany.

Two Cobb dorm coeds became ill last Thursday after eating UNC ham and cheese sandwiches Both had to be taken to the infirmary for treatment The infirmary, however, did not specifically diagnose ptomaine poisoning. The petition, to be presented to Tom Shetley, head of Student Stores, points out several complaints about the sandwiches. It notes the improper labeling, which contains no date or ingredients; the seemingly unnecessary price increase; and dubious sanitary' conditions under which the sandwiches are produced. Retailers express equal desire that the sandwiches be taken off the counters or replaced by other brands. "We throw most of them away they're losing money," one stated. The sandwiches may soon be placed in all campus vending machines because of discontinuation of contracts between UNC and outside sandwich companies. All students are urged to support this petition, to be taken up Monday afternoon at the Residence College Board of Governors' meeting.
