Potentialities Need Freeing, Asserts Yen Release of the great potential ities within the two-thirds of the world's population handicapped by poverty, disease, illiteracy and civic inertia is one hope for the whole world for a better life, an international rural reconstruction leader said here Wednesday night. ""Dr. Y. C. James Yen, founder and president of the International Committee of the Mass Education Movement with headquarters in New York, gave a public address sponsored by the UNC School of Public Health. Dr. Edwin G. McGavran, dean of the UNC School of, Public Health, introduced Dr. Yen. Fol lowing the address, a reception was held honoring the speaker, his wife, and their daughter, Miss Alice Yen. who is a graduate stu dent in public health here. Dr. Yen also addressed the 10th annual Working Conference for alumni and students in health ed ucation Wednesday morning, out lining the rural reconstruction project now underway in the Philippine Islands. Dr. Yen's discussion was the fi nal event in the three-day pro gram, which included a Tuesday session at North 'Carolina College in Durham. A native of China, Dr. Yen founded the Chinese Mass Educa tion Movement, and worked for 25 years with the rural develop ment program there. Since 1952 he has been promoting the Philip pine Rural Reconstruction Move ment, which is the first pilot pro ject' in a rural reconstruction program for Asia. "We have found the same four basic problems facing the rural non-privileged people, whether in Asia, Africa or South Ameri ca," Dr. Yen said. "Experience has' shown us that an integrated attack on all four problems must be used, rather than concentration on health im- (See DR.

Reid introduced the bill on behalf of the Judicial Problems Commission, which recommended it. The primary change the measure will invoke on the system is that it gives the "accused" the righ: to retrial before the Honor Coun cil if it is found that "insuffici ent evidence" was, used to con vict him. The bill also provides that the number of "elected" members on the council be reduced from nine to two. The other seven members on the council will be appointed from lower courts because, ac cording to the Judicial Problems Commission, "They should have previous judicial experience." The only action that aroused any noticeable dissention was a bill calling for the seating of one representative from the nurses' dormitory on the Women's Hon or Council. Opposition for this measure came from the Univers ity Party floorleader, Jack Ste vens. Stevens contended the measure had "a haze about it" and no body undqrstoocH. it. He favored referring it to a study commis sion. ( As for the" nurses, Stevens said they bade"nough block vote pow- t er now to elect a representative. But, he went on to say, ''They lack the initiative to do so." The big money-spending pro posal of the night that was rock eted through was a bill calling Muntzing Wants Study Day At Semester Ends "From talking to many students in all areas of the campus, I am firmly convinced that there is not only a strong desire, but also a strong need, for a reading day be tween the last day of classes and the first da3' of final exams," said Student Party presidential can didate Manning Muntzing in a statement issued yesterday. Muntzing said a great number of students start taking final exams the day after their classes end. "I believe that the improved, ac ademic health of the students that a day's break between classes and exams would help bring about cer tainly justify such a proposal," said Muntzing's statement. Muntzing said he believes that "even if students used a so-called 'reading day' to sleep," their im University Fraternities Celebrate Greek Week With Stunt Night Wednesday ' . Kappa Sigmas & Jazz Band for the appropriation of $975 to "expand" student government fa cilities. The money, according to the bill, will be used to set up an office for a "permanent" stu dent government secretary. Other measures slammed through with lightning speed were: A bill to give the student Leg islature another representative on the Graham Memorial Board of Directors; A bill to give the University Dance Committee $150 to print a booklet on Carolina traditions to be sent to nearby women's col leges; A bill to give the student gov ernment attorney general more power, and A bill to give the Men's Honor Council 525. David Reid, resigning SP floor leader, perhaps explained the co operation that the two parties dis played in passing all measures speedily by saying "They had joined hands in a pre-election common effort which is as stu dent government ought to be." Reid, who complimented both parties and thanked them for "al lowing" him to "serve," was given a starding ovation. proved mental state would help. He added that after talking to many students about the reading day he is sure that most of them would use the time to study for I exams. I Muntzing noted that Woman's College has a reading day in its schedule now which "... they have worked into their schedule very successfully." "I should like to see the calen dar committee here at the Uni versity consider this idea of a rea ding day in light of taking the reading day from the exam period time," said Muntzing. "This would mean that the actual taking of exams would cover a period of eight days instead of nine and in sure a one-day break between classes and the start of exams," he concluded. vim Lll V S J I jit I I ' . - .

Charles Ackerman, UP publicity chairman, and Lionel King, UP no minee for a Legislature seat and member of the UP Steering Com mittee, yesterday announced their resignations from the University Party to become supporters of Don Fowler in his campaign for the student body presidency. Ackerman, who will be the pub licity director for Fowler during the campaign, said that he is re signing his UP post "because I want to stand behind a student who is a campus man, a gentleman who respects all groups equally and i leader who will associate himself with the ideas of the students, not with a particular segment of the University. No one else fits this description but Don Fowler," added Ackerman in his statement. 'FEW MINDS' "After having sat in the meet ings of the University Party for many months," said Ackerman, "I am convinced that the candidate? they put up and the ideas they try to further are the creation of a few minds. Student government is an instrument of the people within the Carolina communitv. not a tool which onerafes onlv for a smal1 group," he continued. "Because the college student if himself being developed into a leader, he should have his right to exercise the leadership that is being cultivated in him. Don Fow ler will not make the office of president his office, but an office in which not only his voice, but Fowler Disagrees On Proposed Auto Court "I do not agree with my oppon ent (Student Party candidate Man ning Muntzing) that a student traf fic court should be set up," said independent presidential candidate Don Fowler in a statement issued yesterday. "I would favor establishing a student traffic committee - in line with what has been done at other schools," said Fowler. "This com mittee would handle registration of all cars. If a student abused the privilege of car, his registration would be revoked, and he would not be allowed to keep a car," ad ded Fowler. Fowler said, "Cars will be taken away from students if the student 1 S. . V Kappa ITh OW y ! the voice of the campus, will pre side," said Ackerman's statement. 'EIGHT PEOPLE' Ackerman said "A party which is run by a steering committee of eight people and which nominates candidates that it doesn't know the qualifications of has no place in a sincere student government. I left because I felt the party did not take the campus government ser iously, and I am now backing a candidate whose steering commit tee is made up of 6,000 students and whose ideas are the ideas of 6.000 people. KING'S STATEMENT King, in his statement, said "I am withdrawing from the Univer sity Party so that I might support the indenendent candidate. Don Fowler, who will give the Univer sity of North Carolina a more rep resentative government." He said, "When Jim Monteith lost the nomination for vice-president, the dorm men and veterans !ost their chance to voice their needs and opinions through the University Partv. If the University Party were to win the coming elec tion, it wuld mean that a small rouo with'n the partv would dom ;nate student government." Eure Outlines Issues Segregation, reapportionment of representation in the House and Senate, and the widely discussed "whammy bill" are top issues con fronting the current General As sembly and nothing will be done about any of them. That's the prediction of Secre tary of State Thad Eure which he made here last night as the speak er at the weekly meeting of the Chapel Hill Rotary Club. body fails to take an immediate and positive stand. He noted that President Gordon Gray has asked for a student reaction to the rec ommendation made by both the faculty and the Visiting Committee of the Board of Trustes that stu dents not be allowed to have cars here. However, according to Fow ler's statement, no student reac tion has been made. " . ..I believe that if we show the trustees and the administration that we can and will control the car problem on this campus, we can stop this irrational move to deprive students of their right to own a car," concluded Fowler. Night Sigmas & 'Helpful Harry' All er Unable' To Help Muntzing David Reid, Hooileadcr of the Student Party, estevday announced resignation of his party post in order to sup port independent candidate for presidency of the student body Don Fowler. '"Since I have found my self, unable to support Manning Muntzing for president of the stu dent body, I am forced to concur with Manning's request that I re sign as SP-legislative floorleader," said Reid in a statement yesterday. "I still anticipate maintaining my membership in the Student Par ty, and will support all SP candi dates other than Manning Munt zing," added Reid. Reid has been a member of the SP Advisory Board since his fresh man year. He was vice-chairman of the party in the fall of last year, and SP Legislator since spring of last year. He became party floor leader last December. "After Don Fowler announced his candidacy for the presidency, I could, in good faith, do no less than give. Don my wholehearted support," said Reid. "Don's out standing work in all three branch es of student government gives him a grasp of its overall scope, which in my opinion is not surpas sed by any student on campus," he added. "Having talked to Don at great length, I have become excited over his plans for student government next year," said Reid. "Under Don's direction I foresee student govern ment elevated to a mature and highly respected junior partner ship with the University Adminis tration," he concluded. Deadline's Tonight For Independent Candidates Midnight tonight is the dead line for independents to file for candidacy in the spring elections with the Elections Board. Any student may become a candidate for office, provided he or she submits a petition signed by 26 qualified voters and him self. Petitions may be turned in to Miss Patsy Daniels at the Chi Omega house or at the student government office. The petition er must turn in his grade quali fications as certified by the Dean of Student's office with the pe tition. photos by R. B. Henley r
