Tuesday in an assembly in
Howard Chapel Mr. John Webb,
a local attorney, addressed the
freshman class in connection
with United Nations Day which
was October 24. Introducing Mr.
Webb was Mrs. Foy N. Goforth,
chairman of UN activities in Wil
son.
In his opening statements,
Webb said that he thought the
U. N. had certainly succeeded
well enough to warrent its con
tinuance despite all the contro
versy. He explained that with
the existing class of the two |
great philosophies of democracy
and communism it would be im
possible to expect to set up an
organization which would settle
saying that just as the United
States system of government is
divided, the U. N. is divided into
the Legislative, Judicial, and
Executive branches. He said
that the Legislative branch is
the General Assembly of 118
members and that its greatest
weakness is that regardless of
size or importance each coun
try has only one vote. Webb
continued by saying that the Ju
dicial branch, better known as
the International Court of Jus
tice or World Court, judges the
actions of nations but that it is
weak in that it has jurisdiction
by permission only. He went on
to say that the Executive branch
is the Secretary General and his
appointees. Webb also described
ciation President, were at U.N.C.
Greensboro over the weekend of j
October 15 and 16, for the Car-
olinas - Virginia Fall Regional
Conference cH the National
Student Association (NBA). Dav
id Hales and Fred Snodgrass
were selected primarily because
they are on the committee es
tablished by the Executive Board
to evaluate NSA, and determine
whether ACC should remain af
filiated with the national organi
zation.
Both Hales and Snodgrss felt
greatly rewarded by the experi
ence. They were able to learn
much about NSA which will aid
them in their work on the com
mittee. The conference was op
ened by a keynote speech by
William G, Long, Dean of Men
at U.N.C.- Chapel Hill. In his
speech Mr. Long outlined nine
student freedoms including a stu
dent’s right to hear what he
wants to, in reference to North
Carolina’s controversial Speaker-
Ban Law.
After Mr. Long’s speech, the
group representing t w e n t y-one
members and observer schools,
split into various committees for
seminar sessions. Mr. Hales
sat on a committee dealing with
regulations affecting students.
the make-up of the Security
Council whose main purpose is
the “maintenance of peace.”
In conclusion, Webb related
many instances in which the
U. N. has seen the world
through crises among which
were those in Suez, Korea, the
Congo, Cyprus, Indonesia, and
India.
After Webb’s address, Dwight
Wagner, editor of the Collegiate
and a political science major,
explained what the Model U.N.
is and its purpose. Giving a
brief report on last year’s Mod
el U. N. in Chapel Hill, he said
that each college represented a
country and was required to
keep within the country’s basic
political philosophy when voting.
ernment. Mr. Snodgrass sat on
the Awareness Programs com
mittee, which discussed prob
lems of student interests in sev
eral schools. Suggestions were
made that ACC seek groups to
entertain as well as educate,
such as several prominent satir
ist groups available for campus’
engagements. Representatives
from other schools cited the suc
cess of campus radio stations
and symposia on topics such as
birth control.
After more workshop sessions
on the second day of the con
ference, A1 Lowenstein, leader
of a national committee to re
open debate on U. S. foreign
policy in Asia, spoke to the
group. Mr. Lowenstein advocat
ed mass student protests and
praised recent student action
throughout the country register
ing discontent with current U.S.
Asian policy.
In the final meeting of the con
ference, reports from each com
mittee were heard. Hales and
Snodgrass hope they will be able
to make full use of their par
ticipation in the conference as
they work with the NSA study
committee here.
StattMiient (Claims A
Violation of RijjJits
Required chapel was discuss
ed at some length by the E.xec
Board Monday night after James
Coile presented a lenghtly state
ment on the subject.
Coile, a senior religion major,
stated that the required chapel
for religious purposes was both
unconstitutional and a violation
of the Civil Rights Act of 19G4.
He said that this feature went
directly against the 1st Admand-
ment of the Constitution con
cerning religious freedom, and
that ACC might lose funds from
[the Federal government because
such religious discrimination
went against Article VI of the
Civil Rights Act of I9G4.
recommended
that the Board approve the for
mation of a committee to study
the matter.
Larry Poore, president of the
men’s dorm, moved that such
a committee be formed. Speak-
jng for the motion Poore stated
that he felt Coile’s arguments
nad some merit, and that such
a committee would be worth
while.
Speaking in opposition. Dean
Bennett stated that the matter
of required chapel has been
rfudied for some time by a num
ber of college committees and
that a report would probably be
coming forth in the near future.
Poore’s motion passed by a
comfortable margin.
In other business, the Board
moved into a committee of the
whole in order to discuss a pro
posed a survey dealing with the
reinstatement of varsity foot
ball. This survey among other
thmgs asked if the students
would be willing to pay an $5
per semester to start a football
program.
Discussion on this matter
brought out that it would prob
ably cost well over $100,000 to
start such a program on this
campus, and that this was prob
ably very much out of reach at
this time.
Moving out of a committee of
a whole, the Board voted not to
present this proposed survey to
the student body.
At the previous week’s meet
ing the Board approved the send-
of a delegation to this year’s
Model United Nations which will
be held at Duke in February.
