Thompson said that he feels this new effort by the Experimental College will accomplishthree important objectives which are unprecedented at UNC. The first involves "rewarding students for initiative, responsibility, and creativity." The second involves the fact that the accredited experimental courses "will enable students to personally reward instructors for their concern for students and their teaching efforts" through token teaching fees to be paid by the Experimental College. Thirdly, Experimental College members hope that through the accreditation of experimental courses "students will be able to design their own courses and pick their own instructors, "Faculty members, graduate students, or undergraduate DTH Staff Photo By Tom Schnabel Annex : v&Vi I j I '-rVr- I ! t i i vy hi i . , . I xplaiiis Need For Violence H By J.D. WILKINSON DTH Staff Writer Black Panther prime minister Stokery Carmichael told a near-capacity crowd in Carmichael Auditorium Thursday night that he and his followers are for "revolutionary violence." The former leader of the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) who joined the Black Panther Party after being expelled by the organization he had led, told an audience numbering around 6500 persons that he wanted to make his stand on violence plain "so you will know we do not hedge on this issue." "Violence in society is not moral or ethical," Carmichael said; "it is not right or wrong. It is simply a question of who has power to legitimatize students interested in initiating courses, "should Thompson said, call 933-5079 before Sunday and leave their names and information about their suggested courses. "Someone Experimental frorh the College will return the person s call and give him information about procedure and the objectives of the Experimental College in this effort." Explaining why the Experimental College has undertaken this project, Thompson said, "One of the fundamental assumptions of the Experimental College is that the learning that goes on in the Experimental College is just as valid as any other learning that goes on in the University community.

Killing ffiC - vi " Carmichael cited the presence of American troops in Vietnam as an example of the "expediency of violence." "The oppressor," he continued, "can always institutionalize violence." He offered widespread poverty and hunger in the United States as an example and said, "No one questions that kind of violence because it is institutionalized." Carmichael said that there are basically two types of violence. "There is revolutionary violence and there is counter-revolutionary violence. Counter-revolutionary violence seeks to keep those who favor injustice in power, and revolutionary violence seeks to unseat them in favor of the needs and desires of the great deny students in the Experimental College the same kind of credit which they 1 are given for other courses in 'regular' departments of the University, . "Between now and Christmas we will be trying to set up a mechanism by which students with faculty sponsors (, establish courses for next semester and get them accredited with a limited amount of red tape." Thompson said that five courses have already been suggested for next semester. They include courses on Marshall McLuhan, astrology, courses concerning the Complex," "Perspectives on Current Events" and "Contemporary Russian Foreign Policy in Eastern Europe." masses of people." Carmichael went on to say that the fight for the opportunity for political equality has been indoctrinated in the American people while the struggle for the opportunity for economic equality has been given a secondary role. "We must begin to address ourselves," Carmichael said, "to the question of the opportunity for economic equality." He said that Castro had done just that in Cuba and that the people "seem to agree because the nation is progressing." Carmichael devoted much of his speech to attacking liberals and liberal thinking. "The biggest problem with white American liberals," he said, "is that their main goal is to prevent confrontation and conflict. They are one step better than the people who preach law and order. "We cannot make a decision apriori that confrontation will not solve the problem. Confrontation with Hitler solved the problem, and confrontation between the American colonies and the British solved that problem." "The role of the liberal," he continued," is to maintain the status quo, because the liberal enjoys economic stability from the status quo. There are not many poor liberals. The liberal can afford the luxury of his liberalism." He went on to say that thei liberal is afraid , to alienate anyone. and to say that George . Wallace, regardless of whatone" thinks of his political philosophy, "offered the only clear alternative." Carmichael devoted fifteen minutes following his speech to answering questions gathered from the audience. In answer to a question about the goals of the black activists, Carmichael said that they were fighting racism and capitalism. "Our goal, therefore," he said, "would be a society free The general panic was heightened by a Greensboro radio broadcast about the rumored prediction. The students in the small girls schools heard the rumor as well. The general reaction was to bar doors, lock windows and scream. The mass murder rumor gave birth to a baby rumor at St. Mary's Junior College in Raleigh. Girls heard that a man had torn off a screen on a senior dorm window, but had been scared away before he got any farther. Students at Queens felt the first effects of the rumor at the beginning of November. A curious student called- the Charlotte Observer and found out the rumor was not true. Not all the coeds across the state were fortunate enough to hear an early denial. Different versions of the original rumor continued to crop up out of nowhere. In fact, variations of the mass murder rumor have been spreading since early October. The first was a prediction, reportedly made by Mrs. Dixon, that the murder would take place in a sorority containing the Greek letter "delta" in the name. Doors may be safely opened now in Delta Delta Delta, Alpha Delta Pi, and Kappa Delta. According to other variations, the slaying was going to be m a coed dormitory today, tomorrow and last night. The murderer was going to be a male in women's clothing, He was going to kill 12 coeds, or was it two or 25? The campus was going to be a large southern university, a predominately female college in North Carolina, and a small girls school. Girls at University of North Carolina at Greensboro, Meredith, St. Mary's and the Universities of Alabama, Georgia, Florida, etc. can take out the scissors from under their pillows. The entire prediction, with all its contradictory details, was a rumor fabricated by one individual somewhere, somehow. And that's all it was. A rumor. of racism and capitalism." Finally, he said that neither blacks nor whites should serve in the armed sen ices "because the U.S. Army does not work in our interests: it works against them." A minor -scuffle broke out immediately after the speech outside Carmichael Auditorium when a person waving a North Vietnamese flag was slugged by a person who identified himself as an ROTC student.

T ... l Stokely at Community Action Course Approved UNC will offer a course in field work in community action next semester in which students will receive three hours academic credit for commu nity serv ic e. The course will combine concrete field work experience within the context of Chapel Hill and Carrboro community services and agencies with an examination and evaluation of the broad issues that confront one participating in community organizations. "Through my discussions with past tutors and service workers, especially those who took their jobs seriously, I felt that the University could offer in the undergraduate curriculum a course in field work and community service," said Miss Jean Luker, head of the project. "In this course a student would spend approximately six to eight hours a week working with an organization or gency in the community that is dealing with the problem of poverty. Along with this, the students would come together probably once a week for a seminar to discuss the problems of social change and the community organization," Miss Luker said. "Last spring I talked with Roger Thompson of the Experimental College and Bill Conway, YMCA chairman of the tutoral program. We went to talk with professors and heads of departments, mainly Sociology and the school of social work. "The result being that the school of social work showed an interest in offering the course for the spring semester of 69, Miss Luker said. Mr. Cohen, director of the Community Organization Department of the school of social work will be the instructor with Dr. Charles Goldsmid of the sociology department assisting him. was from Philadelphia, Perm, and not a student at UNC, but would not give his name, explained that he was waving the flag, not because he supported North Vietnam, but because he wanted to illustrate America's use of legitimatized violence.

DTH Staff Photo By Tom Schnabml Carmichael The time when the course will be offered will be decided by the students who take the course when they meet for their first seminar. The seminars will probably be held once a week. "The course will probably be offered undsr the auspices of the sociology department even though the instructor will be from the school of social work," Miss Luker said. "I will be going to local organizations to work out the assignments before next semester, and the students will be able to express their preferences as to what type of work they are most interested in doing. "The emphasis in this course will be on the work that a person does rather than on theoretical readings. Of course, there will be a list of readings and outside speakers involved in the framework of the course to provide the students with the background material that they need to successfully carry out their work. "This course will offer the interested student a balance between practical work and theoretical reading," Miss Luker said. Miss Luker felt that a course such as this would benefit the students and supply them with personal knowledge of the field of community action. "Such a course would provide only an introduction -to community action, but hopefully the learning process would be enhanced by the personal involvement of the participating students. This beginning, if fruitful, might lead to the development of curricula r opportunities for more extensive experience in community action," Miss Luker said. Students interested in learning more about this course should call Miss Judy Luker at 933-2333 or go by room 104 of the Y building.
