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

25 years with the rural develop

he has been promoting the Philip

program for Asia.
"We have found the same four
basic problems facing the rural
non-privileged people, whether
in Asia, Africa or South Ameri

"Experience has' shown us that
an integrated attack on all four
problems must be used, rather
than concentration on health im-

Allows Second Trial
On Insufficient Proof
By NEIL BASS
The student Legislature rammed through in hasty action last night
a bill called by its introducer, David Reid,a "liberalizer" of the Honor
System. 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

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

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.

Two University Party Students
Join Reid In Fowler Campaign
Two University Party students
have joined Student Party floor
leader David Reid in supporting
Don Fowler, independent presiden
tial candidate.
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

! 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

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.

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.
