respedtively to the Student Gov-

the necessity of such payments

port was given and the council

N. C. Ban
Prohibited
By Courts
GREENSBORO, N.C. (CPS) -
A three-judge federal court has
ruled North Carolina’s speaker
ban law unconstitutional
The law prohibited Commur-
ists from speaking at state-sup
ported colleges. It also pro
hibited anyone who had pleaded
the First Amendment when ques
tioned about Communist leanings
from speaking. The court ruled
that the law was too vague.
The suit was brought in 1966
by a group of University of
North Carolina students, in
cluding two former student body
presidents and a student editor,
and two speakers who were ban
ned under the law, including
Marxist historian Herbert Apth-
ecker.
Oral arguments in the case
were filed almost a year ago,
but the decision was r^ortedly
delayed by the illnessof the judge
who was writing the decision.
Student leaders at the Univer
sity of North Carolina said they
may bring a Communist or Marx
ist, possibly Apthecker, to the
campus now that the ban has been
lifted.
A similar speaker ban law was
struck down in Ohio last year.

The Freshman Board of Women
at Asheville-Biltmore College
have scheduled what they call
“Career Conference" for third
and fourth terms this year.
On February 19, Elizabeth
Harkins spoke in connection with
social work. On March 20, Lt.
Ann Kwiatanowski of the U.S.
Marines will speak on the officers
training program, specifically
on the Marine Corps, and gener
ally on women’s armed services.
Miss Harkins brought along with
her Sally Trier who is doing field
work at Chapel Hill in its two year
graduate program. Dean Wutch-
el commented, one of the most
surprising things was that social
work is open to people with a
background in any field.
Student Govermment A Failure^
Unions For Students Says Kahn
(ACP) - Are student govern
ments at universities around the
country failures as they are now
constituted? Are they due to
be radically changed -- or even
abolished?
All evidence points to the affirm
ative, says the SOUTH END of
Wayne State University, Detroit.
A growing number of students
is expressing dissatisfaction with
their “representative” govern
ments and their overall lack of
power. Many are disappointed
with their inability to effect
change in the areas of academic
reform and basic university re
structuring.
At Wayne, frustration is becom
ing increasingly evident. Two
Student-Faculty Council mem
bers have resigned from the Ex
ecutive Board and others are
contemplating resigning. Many
othes do not intend to run for
re-election.
SF-C Chairman Chuck Larson
shares the disenchantment “Stu
dent government can never be re
levant to students at Wayne as
long as they allow the adminis
tration to develop the guidelines
for its operation,” he said
“The SF-C is constituted by
means of a charter granted by the
President of the University. He
has the power to change it at his
discretion and has done so in the
past.”
Larson said he recommends re
organizing the SF-C “by giving
students the opportunity to de
cide what mechanism they want •
to r^resent them. This mech
anism would be established and
would not negotiate with the ad
ministration for the right to ex
ist.”
“It destroys a student’s self-
respect and is degrading,” Lar
son said, “to have to go to the'
administration and ask them for
the right to have a voice. It
is an inalienable right of all'
people, including students, to con
trol their own destinies.”
Mark Shapiro, SF-C represent
ative at the Convention of the
Michigan Association of Student
Governments, said he found “that
the majority of student govern
ments around the state were even
in a worse plight than we are.
It is apparent that student govern
ments are undemocratically
formed - not on the basis of one
man-one vote.”
The University of Michigan’s
Student Government Council, in
an attempt to gain control over
the activities it undertakes and
allow for greater financial free
dom, is incorporating under un
iversity regulations.
Its chairman, Bruce Kahn, ex
pressed dissatisfaction with stu
dent government in general, sug
gesting student unions instead or
possibly no organiza‘tlon at all.

Awards Given
will specialize in Greek and Dr.
Woods teaches Latin.
Ramsey Library’s abundance of
Greek and Latin texts were cited
by Dr. Thurman as an aid to the
program.
The Classicsprogram is divided
into four areas, each building on
it’s predecessor, he explained.
The first level seeks to impart
a skill in Latin or Greek or both
if the student is a double major.
The second area shows the stud-
dent how to use his knowledge
by studying classical authors one
by one.
An all student assembly was
held on February 16 in the stu
dent Center Auditorium. It was
a business meeting conducted
by Guy Batsel.
Among t(^ics discussed were
rosters for volley bail tourna
ments for which teams can sign
up with Bob Miller of the Sports
Commission.
Homecoming Alumni day was
scheduled for last Saturday. Ac
tivities included a meeting for
alumni, a tea in the library, the
game with Maryville, andadance
in the Greek Community Center.

Randy DriyDiewski announced
that in April, Time Magazine
is sponsoringamockpresidential
election involving 5 million coll
ege students. Regular campaigns
will be held, and votes will be tab
ulated on iApril 24, with the re
sults published in Time the next
day.
All students are invited to par
ticipate. Interested parties are to
contact Randy, Guy Batsel or Don
Scarborough.
The third area offers a variety
of experience with a variety of
authors and the fourth area in
troduces the student to philolog
ical specialties, imparting a gen
eral knowledge of archeology, the
study of ancient manuscripts and
the elements of composition in the
lansruace of the students choice.
“We ejq)ect”, said Dr, Thur
man, “not only a mastery of the
languages, but also a mastery of
the culture and civilization. One
who knows the material only in
translation loses all of the sound
and part of the sense.”
‘Battle of Bands’
Announced by
Freshman Class
A Battle of the Bands anc
a dance have been scheduled
the same time for March 15
in the A—B gym by the Fresh
man class. The time will be
8:00 —12:30 p.m. and the con

band. $100 worth of prizes will
be awarded to the winners.

these include Bee Bumble and
the Stingers, The Epics, and
the Demonz. Guest performers
will be the The Tensions.
Help in publicity has been
donated by several companies
in Asheville.
the contents down to the best
of all submissions.
“I realize we have been quite
some time in coming out,” said
Ken Sneiling, “but I feel the
type of magazine we’re bringing
out is worth the delay. Images
could be much better in the fu
ture; I think this issue is a step
in that direction.”
The design is new for Images
and a very small percentage
of outside material is used.
There is a question as to whether
images will be able to put out
another issue this year, even
though policy so advocates.
Lani Campbell, literary editor,
stated, “Finances of the maga
zine are in question by the SGA.
They have informed the editors
and advisor that students feel
that too much money has been
allocated for Image use. Each
student gives 40 cents each term
for the magazine. Advertise
ments must still be sold to fin
ance the project.”
Other workers on this issue
have been Haroon Shadman, Wen
dy Anderson, Bruce Brown,
Deanna Shields, Roger Wicker,
Elizabeth Williams and Marsha
Lambert. Images will need new
workers, especially a business
manager and an ad staff for the
next issue.
The magazine pays 10 percent
commission on all ad sales.
