See p. 2. VOLUME LXII NUMBER 82 Complete JP Photo and Wire Service CHAPEL HILL, N. C. FRIDAY, JANUARY 15, 1954 Complete JP Photo and Wire Service SIX PAGES TODAY e Liberal Acts, Business Are Complementary House Tell Conference Worthwhile Pursuits Exist Outside Classes Regardless - Of Classroom Work: Chancellor By Charles Kuralt Chancellor Robert B. House, his pipe going and his prose in fine form, left burning issues behind for an hour at his press confer ence yesterday afternoon and gave his listeners some educational philosophy. A reporter asked the Chancellor his views on the controversy be tween University liberal arts de partments and the School of Busi ness Administration over the prop er education of students. With that as a springboard, Chancellor House leaned back in his leather-covered chair and leaned into an answer: "It's not as much a matter of the courses you take as how aware you are to the opportunities around you." He pointed to a sentence in a humanities lecture he made last year: "Poetry is as practical as plowing; and plowing is as beautiful as poetry." Ideally, he said, the arts and the business Tvorld complement each other. Outside Knowledge Cited House told his conference that a Carolina student, be he history major or Business Administration School student, could supplement his knowledge outside of class. He called the idea that acquisition of knowledge in Chapel Hill is limit ed to organized class work "a great fallacy." And, he said, Tm not a great hand for requiring things of stu dents. Art and music and conver sation, in and out of class, are here for the asking. I pity the student who leaves the University without giving himself a chance at these things." For illustration, the Chancellor told about his own experience as a "naked-eye astronomer." He learned astronomy "the greatest free show on earth" from a dime store book, he said, and "a great deal of experience." The quarrels between liberal arts students and those in busi ness and science," House said, net nothing, for "without art, the sciences are dumD. ine scientist has to be an artist to teach ef fectivelv. The humanist must be a scientist to learn effectively." Five-Point Education Then, Chancellor House outlined five requisites for the well-educated man, notwithstanding his field of study: Competent writing, read ing, and speaking ability, and ; knowledge of mathematics and sci ence. Writins. the Chancellor said, should include creative writing: Concert Band Appears Today In Greensboro The UNC Concert Band, under the direction of Professor Earl Slo- cum, opens its season today in Greensboro at 10 o'clock in Ay cock Auditorium at Woman's Col lege. The performance, sponsored by the Junior Civic Music Assotfa tion, will be played before an es timated five thousand elementary and junior high school students. Included in the program of light music are "Spaixico", a modern conbination of the interesting and intricate rhythms of Spanish and Mexican music, and "Country Dance", both original compositions by Herbert W. Fred, Assistant Di rector. Soloists are Jim Heady, performing Weber's "Concertino for the Clarinet", and Horace Go lightly who will take the xylophone solo in "Rusticating Rufus. The band will also play "Colo rama", a symphonic treatment ot popular hit tunes by Peter DeRose. Other numbers are Williams' "Folk Song Suite", "March of The Free Peoples", and the humorous musi cal story of a young Negro's "Sou thern Wedding". "That's the reason I keep pecking away at you writing folks. Do some creative writing. You'll sweat blood. It will be good for you." ' Reading means competency in more than one language, House said, preferably Latin or Greek. "And a student should be able to read classical poetry, since poe try is untranslatable." The Chancellor went on, "Educa tion could benefit greatly by more emphasis on speaking. The art of conversation has almost passed out of our civilization." Math and science are vifcl to any person in business, said House. "All these things are. No student should miss any of them." The Chancellor said he looks for ward to the day when universities take both music and art "into their educational stride," in addition to the five requisites. He said Alfred North Whitehead is his favorite scholar, because he has achieved a synthesis of art and science. - Other-Affairs On other matters: The Chancel lor said, in response to a question, he thinks it's up to the students if they want more lecturers. They are empowered to bring them here, he said, and any shortcoming is the students' own. House also said he's conducting a survey to ascertain facts about Saturday class attendance. He'll make them public when they are in, he said. And he announced that Univer sity alumnus Louis M. Connor Jr. of Raleigh has subscribed to Time and Life magazines to be sent to the recreation room of Connor Dormitory, which was named for his family. Orchestra Set For Program Here Tuesday The University Symphony Or chestra, under the direction of Prof. Earl Slocum, will present a concert in Hill Hall Tuesday at 8 o'clock.

' Student Government Alliance Group Invites UNC TALLAHASSEE, Fla., Jan. 14 Carolina, along with thirteen other southern schools, has been invited o join the Southern University Student Government Association, an organization co-sposored by Emory University at Atlanta and Florida State University at Talla hassee. .

C, lawyer told the Subversive Activities Con trol Board today he personally knew "far in excess of ?0 Com munists" in North Carolina since he joined the Communist Party in 1948 as an undercover agent for the FBL Ralph Clayton Clontz, son of a minister, completed three days of testimony before the board which is investigating the Jefferson School of Social Science in New York. Clontz testified he attended the school to receive Communist instructions at the request of Jun ius L Scales of Carrboro, N. C. Yesterday Clontz, 31, told the board Scales had . gone under ground and warned him (Clontz) not to contact him by mail or tele phone. Clontz also testified Scales told him his wife, Gladys Meyer Scales of Carrboro, would be his agent as long as he was forced to remain underground for fear of arrest by the FBI and to prevent putting the finger on other Com munists in the Carolinas. Clontz told newsmen he delib erately refrained from naming all the Reds he knew personally. He said he considers them traitors to their country and thinks it's good for them to wonder if the FBI has their names in its files. He associated only with the top Communists in the Carolinas, Clontz testified, because Commu nist leaders told him he could achieve maximum value to the party by concealing his membership. Solons Rush Through 77 Bills; Quarterly Appropriated $600 By Dick Creed In a ramjet session the student Legislature last night passed ten out of eleven bills up for consid eration, most of which set into motion parts of the Student Par ty's "good deal" program.

The Legislature set up a Social Improvements Committee to de termine needed improvements in dormitory social rooms and "other places where students congregate. The committee will meet with representatives of the Interdorm- itory Council and other "pertinent groups" to facilitate the gathering of information.

House Knows Of No Commies In University Chancellor R. B. House, in re sponse to a reporter's question, characterized communism in Chapel Hill to his press confer ence yesterday in this way: "It's about as palatable as spaghetti out of the iee box." . - Communism in a school com munity, the Chancellor said, is "cold and left over. And it's not much better warmed up." With respect to the revela tions of a former "communist" for the FBI who said this week he studied Marxism with Junius Scales in Carrboro, House said, "I have not one single fact on this matter. I wouldn't express an opinion about it." The Chancellor said, "I am un informed as to the existence cf any Communist Party here. I must not be oh the Communist mailing list any more. I serious ly doubt that there is a Com munist Party here now." of (The Daily Tar Heel. The Legislature took $12,000 from the Publications Board last fall and added it to the general student surplus. A bill calling for an audit of the jtudent government surplus and he unappropriated balance passed unanimously. Akin to the social improvements bill was a bill passed setting up a Victory Village Improvements Com .iiittee. The operations of the com nittee will he essentially the same those of the social improvements committee. A bill to set up an Academic Affairs Committee was passed unanimously.

All bills introduced last night will not be acted upon until after the beginning of next semester. Joel Fleishman introduced a bill calling for a committee to study the organizational structure of the Publications Board.

Jose Greco's Troupe Will Appear In Memorial Hall Program Tonight Vi i ' V -' JOSE GRECO Information Is Citizen's Right, Says Governor RALEIGH, Jan. - 14 (P) News men, judges and law enforcement officers found today that they agreed on many things and dis agreed on some as they discussed problems encountered in the tasks of enforcing the law arid keeping the public informed. All agreed with the keynote sounded by Gov. Umstead that "public business should be con ducted in- the open." They also agreed that the two groups should go about their jobs with mutual understanding of the other's prob lems. Approximately 250 press and ra dio newsmen, judges, police offic ers, sheriffs, and SBI and FBI of ficials gathered for the all-day "Freedom of Information" confer ence. They heard opposing points of view advanced by a managing edi tor and a woman superior court judge on how far press and radio should go in reporting a crime story before the defendant has been tried. They heard the woman judge op pose radio and television borad cast of court proceedings while a federal judge said that freedom of the press should give the same rights to radio, photographers and television stations as it does to newspapers. The governor told the group that a citizen has the right to know the results "of deliberations, decis ions and official actions of those entrusted with the responsibility, duty and power of public office." J. Russell Wiggins, managing editor of the Washington Post, and chairman of the Freedom of In formation committee of the Amer ican society of newspaper editors, declared that the right of the peo ple to know what their govern ment officials are doing "is in peril at local, state and federal levels. Wiggins referred to passage by the 1953 North Carolina Legisla ture of a law allowing secret meet ings of appropriations committees. "I hope that It (the Legislature) will not long continue to punish the people for what some of its members looked upon as impati ence in the press," he declared. He quoted Woodrow Wilson as saying, "there is not any legiti mate privacy about matters of gov ernment." Superior Court Judge Susie Sharp declared that newspapers "do sometimes inferfere with due process" and hinder fair trials. Printing in advance of trial "ru mors, alleged confesions" and statements of opposing lawyers, she declared, "can destroy the pre sumption of innocence." Spanish dancer Jose Greco and his company will appear in Me morial Hall tonight at 8 o'clock under the auspices of the Student Entertainment Committee. Students will be admitted free with ID cards and townspeople will be admitted after 7:40 for one dol lar. - Greco, a tall, dark man who mov es with the agility of a matador and the grace of a cat, has won "oles" from Madrid to -Helsinki, and then again on Broadway and in Hollywood. He set an attendance and box office record at the Lewinsohn Stadium in New York this past summer, and played to some 150, 000 people at the Ford Anniver sary show in Detroit. The dancer was actually born in Italv nf Ttalian-Snsnish narpntsoo I At the age of seven he was taken to Spain and later, at the age of ten he was brought to America and became an American citizen. At an age when- most boys are determined to become streetcar conductors or home-run kings, Jose Greco was living under the spell of Vicente Escudero, who then dominated the Spanish dance world. Before his 20th birthday ha was dancing with the Salmagge Opera Company at the New York Hip podrome. When the great Spanish dancer, la Argentinita came to New York for an engagement, he plead ed with her for an audition. She engaged him for her com- ! p-ny two years later, and in a short whJc he had become the leading male dancer of her troupe. In 1948, after the death of la Ar gentinita, he went to Spain and organized his own company. For a non-Spaniard to attempt to duplicate the great Spanish dances in Madrid and Seville was a dangerous undertaking. However, Greco was rewarded with applause and long engagements in both cit ies. He subsequently toured most of the European capitals, and was honored with a request to ippear at the Sadler's Wells Theatre at the Festival of Britain. Greco first brought hi company to America in 1951, and in New York as in London, Paris, Copen hagen and Madrid, they were successful. 'Why Do You Smoke Camels?'

Andy says he's sev en years old ("How old do you reckon? About ten?"). He's got blond hair, brown eyes, and was wearing a windbreaker, blue jeans and galoshes.

"I had this tooth ex tracted, pulled this one out my self, and had this one extracted 'cause it was an abcess tooth, and I had three shots of penicil lin in my hip. Guess what? I was the stupidist thing to go to the doctor. (The nurses . . . they act like they haven't even got a grain of sense." The busines manager walked in and asked Andy if he made it home with that snowball on his head. Andy laughed and said yes, almost. He explained that he was carrying the snowball home to make a snowman. "I had it on my head and a car blew its horn and it scared me so much ... I was on the sine walk . . . Guess what happened at school today? We wa play ing a game of tackle and the girls were playing and the boys were playing and I said I'd play on a team by myself against all the rest of them ard uess what I had ... I had spikes on my shoes and they kept me from falling down." Andy wandered into the room with the teletypes. He watched the machines tap out words on endless sheets of paper that wound out of boxes on the floor.

How come you don't stop smoking? Are you in the habit? How come you've got those big ends on your classes? Why does Camels suit you the best?
