Bitter Reaction
Is Immediate
With Students
Horton Suggests
Counter - Action
Via 7-Point Plan
By Louis Kraar
The first group ot students
to hear that they would have
to attend Saturday classes
next fall raised their voices in
angry protest.
President Ham Horton ap
peared before the mass meet
ing of nominees of both parties
Last night in Gerrard Hall and
read the Executive Committee's
decision. He asked students in
terested in "aiding this long, hard
fight" to remain after the meet
ing. Most remained and sounded
off loudly against the move.
The men on the Executive
Committee are powerful men.
They have shown their utter con
tempt. They have shown it by ig
noring the students and faculty
of this University," said Horton.
He said no student of - faculty
member was at the meeting of
the executive committee.
Boo's and surprised gasps greet
ed the first announcement of the
move. But as the meeting pro
gressed, students talked in more
rational terms. Hand after nana
went up to volunteer to sit at
desks in Lenoir Hall and the YM
CA to gather petitions. Other pos
sible moves to gather student
opinion were discussed.
The nominees passed a resolu
tion to fight th,e proposal of Sat
urday classes and other campus
organizations followed suit in a
wave of support that appeared to
be growing by the meeting.
Horton, speaking in terse, seri
ous tones, outlined a possible pro
gram of attack. The program was
discussed and accepted by the
group.
The program was: 1. All stu
dents sign petitions starting to
day. 2. All students write homt
and tell parents of move that
would not allow them to come
home weekends 3. The case
against Saturday classes is to.be
printed up and widely distributed
4. Faculty opinion is to be gath
ered 5. A mass meeting of stu
dents protesting Saturday classes
is to be held Thursday afternoon
at 3 o'clock 6. Individual protests
would be made to the Visiting
Committee of the Board of Trus
tees this Friday and 7. Students
who work on Saturday 'make spe
cial protests.
Other organizations that join
ed in the move protesting Satur
day classes were the Student par
ty. IFC, University Party and
Publications Board.
Joel Fleishman (SP) stated,
"The idea of Saturday classes is
repulsive to the liberal and pro
gressive theories of education
which the University has exem
plified since its inception.

compulsory meeting last night

Investigation
Continues In
Knifing Case
The Polic Department yesterday
still was investigating the stab
bing of a 15-year-old Chapel Hill
high school youth.
James Charles Blake was stab
bed Thursday night in front of
Morehead Planetarium at 8:15.
Blake received three wounds, one
in the back, neck and side, po
ice said.
Police Capt. William Blake said
young Blake (distant cousin) with
five companions, was walking
along the sidewalk in front of the
Planetarium when he met three
unidentified boys.
Neither group would yield the
right of way and one of the three
knocked Blake to the ground.
He then fell upon Blake and stab
bed him before the other boys
could help him.
The Chapel Hill Police Depart
ment yesterday had no clues to
the stabbing except that the boys
"appeared to be of scout age."
It was at first believed that one
of the 500 scouts might be involv
ed "but the Explorers were attend
ing a meeting in Hill Hall at the
time and all were accounted for
by their scout masters.
"There is a possibility that one
of the boys with Blake can identi
fy the person," Captain Blake
said. "He was of scout age and
may have had on part of a scout
uniform."
When asked if there was a pos
sibility that University students
were involved, Captain Blake
said, "I don't think so. From the
description the boys gave us, the
three appeared to be about the
age of sophomores in high school.
Extra Class
Is Likely
Next Fall
By Holfe NeUl
Saturday classes prooauiy Dy September are the ulti
mate result of a resolution passed yesterday by the Univer
sity Trustees' Executive Committee.
The committee passed the resolution by a majority even
after two top academic officials reported that a recent in
quiry at UNC indicated the predominant sentiment among
faculty, students and administrative officers was against any
change. Consolidated President Gordon Gray and Chancellor
Robert B. House spoke for the University.
The resolution does not specify a date for the institution
of Saturday classes, but directs the Administration to present
at the next committee meeting or at a called meeting a rec
ommended plan for use of Saturday morning time.
Officials here speculated it would be at least September
before the plan could be effected because of the multiplicity
of changes involved.
The committee's resolution said it favored the principle
of Saturday classes -for undergraduates as well as graduate
and professional students at each of the three institutions of
the University. Carolina now has Saturday classes for law,
medical and public health students. Both Woman's College
and State College, the Consolidated University's other branch
es, have Saturday classes for all students.
Carolina could be expected to maintain its quarter system
under a six-day plan, UNC officials explained, just add an
extra half day of class each week.
It was not reported who introduced the resolution, but it
is known that Trustee Victor Bryant Sr. of Durham has been
one of the leading protaganists of six day classes here. When
contacted by The Daily Tar Heel by phone at his home last

Executive Committee with a
an area as the Saturday class resolution, the committee is em
powered to act on its own and is not subject to board approval.
It must, as a matter of form, submit to the board a report of
all its activities.
Student Body President Ham Horton said when told of the
Saturday class action:
"We are stunned to hear the summary decision of the Ex
ecutive Committee, a decision made without warning or con
sultation of faculty and students and in direct controvention
to the decision made by the Trustees only recently.
"Student government is opposed to the Executive Com
mittee's decision. We can make no further comment at this
time."
The Executive Committee met in Raleigh yesterday in the
office of Gov. Kerr Scott. Ironically, it was Governor Scott's
last meeting of the group of which he is chairman ex-officio.
The committee meets regularly four times yearly in Feb
ruary, May, September and November.
The issue of Saturday classes, long a teaser for student
bristle-raising, was dead for
last spring. However, it was put off by the Executive Com
mittee until September then carried over from that meeting
to yesterday's meeting.
Many Trustees have argued that students leave Chapel
Hill on the weekends to the neglect of their studies and cam
pus activities. The Carolina "mass exodus" was reported to
be a myth by a Dean of Woman's Office survey released last
May. The survey was conducted in dormitories, sororities
and fraternities to find out just why students go home on the
weekends.
"Going home to rest" was given by both coeds and men
as the "most important" single reason for leaving Chapel Hill.
Men students rated "attending a football game" highest on
the list of out-of-town trips.
Both men and coeds again agreed studying ranked highest
in importance of the weekend activities at Chapel HilL Ath
letics, fraternity and University events were chosen next in
importance.
"The weekend seems to be a catching-up time with many
students dependent on the extra study time to pass. Extra
sleeping on each day and socializing a few hours each day
round out the weekend," the report asserted.
The report concluded "Our students do not leave the cam
pus each weekend en masse; our students need the weekend
for study and relaxing activities."
