D. C, told North Carolina principals here Tuesday. Mrs. Grace S. Wright, a special ist for secondary education with the Mice of Kducation. urged a turn from the "cult of easiness" and more stress on giving young people meaning in their lives. As lead-off speaker for the third arnual N C. Junior High School Work-Corn erence at the University of North Carolina, she reviewed tjpes of curriculum offered in sh(HjLs. emphasizing "block-time" and "cere" classes. "We are still quite paternalistic in I lie intellectual treatment of stu dents, " Mrs. Wright said. "Young people need more confidence, more ropect. and more freedom than we are now giving them, so that they can bring out their latent powers. "The junior high school is several years from the university, but it is not too soon for a beginning in de-ndon-making based on critical 'hinking." she added. Mrs. Wright pointed out that prominent Americans have called for creation of political leadership among young people, and encour agement of a feeling among them of responsibility as citizens to their government. The "core" program, which com bines several subjects in unit study projects, has as a main purpose promotion of better citizenship, she said. The student gains a "functional awareness of responsibilities as well a privileges by actually partici pating in living in a democratic (las.sioom situation." World News In Brief Senate Kills Amendments WASHINGTON, The Senate brought its civil rights bill almost to the point of passage yesterday, shutting off all further amendments. An indefinite amount of speechmaking remained, however, both by the outnumbered Southern opponents' of the bill and by its mpportcrs from the North and West. Late this afternoon there came a time when no one had an amendment to offer, and the Senate proceeded wuh the third reading of the bill. This meant no more amendments could be offered, One amendment got through jected 73-18 a proposal to kill the The amendment, adopted 80-11, that in helping southern Negroes maie againsi wnne voters. 1 Dirkson Proposes Rights Amendmi snt WASHINGTON. w Republican leader Everett M Dirksen of Illinois offered a civil rights bill amendment yesterdj y aimed to meet protests by Southerners that one provision wouldi discriminate against white voters in favor of Negro applicants for registration. Southern senators did not indicate immediately .whether the amendment was acceptable to them, but agreement jtaas reached to vote on it in one hour. The provision drawing Southern fire is one that fould permit Negroes to vote provisionally if their applications for deral reg istration had not been ruled on prior to election day. Southerners said this would permit a Federal judg to register Negroes right up to the day before an election. They protested that this flew in the face of state laws that require voters to be registered from 30 days to six months in ad vance of an election. Police Stifle South African Protests JOHANNESBURG. South Africa, m Huge military, police and civilian reserve forces mobilized by the South African govern ment appeared last night to have stifled the no-work campaign of thousands of rebellious Africans. Only in the scaled off African township of. Nyanga, near Cape Town, was the situation uncertain and police said they had arrest ed most of the "agitators, terrorists and gangsters" there without resistance today. From Cape Town. Durban and Port Elizabeth came reports that the situation vas practically normal or more nearly so than at any time in the past 10 days. In Johannesburg there was no incident to disturb the calm. Workers streamed in and out of the city without trouble. ' ' Bill To Squelch Pentagon Contracts WASHINGTON. JH The House 'yesterday passed a bill to prevent retired military officers from using their Pentagon con tacts to infuence sales to the defense deparement. The voice vote came after an amendment to make such officers liable for criminal penalties was ruled out of order. Ro. E. Edward Hebert (D-La), who offered the amendment, promptly introduced a new bill to get around the technical ob jection and said he would push for its passage later. As passed by the House and sent to the Senate the bill would make it unlawful for any officer to take a selling job with a defense contractor within two years of his retirment. It also would require that all officers who go on a defense contractor's payroll must register with the defense department. She warned that the success of a new teaching system, as of any in-service program, hirges'on "the principal's vision, beliefs and wil lingness to give of his time and active support." In the "core" program the teach er has fewer pupils to get to- know, and this closer knowledge enables them to help students with their problems, she said. In junior high it also serves as a bridge between the elementary school, with its ane-teacher-all-day system, to the complete departmen talization in senior high. Mrs. Wright said that development of a core program in many schools will be delayed by the new trend to subject emphasis, brought on the Sputnik-science attention. "1 doubt that we learn how to create a new world order by increasing our re quired study of mathematics and science." she said. "Instead, we need to develop more people who can think competently lor them selves." Urging attention to the humani ties as well as to the "Sputniks," she said, "Until we tie literature to rellective concern for social and human values, it is just another lesson in memory." Dr. David Austin of Columbia University, New York City, also spoke Tuesday, and he also re viewed practices in junior high school instruction. Wednesday morn ing will be devoted ' to group dis cussions, covering athletics, ac cieditaiion. pupil grouping and guid ance.

A partly-eaten loaf of bread and a pot of beans in an isolated shack these ap parently were the only fresh clues Thursday as the search for out law Hubert Tyson entered its third week. Searchers who found evidence of a hastily-consumed meal at the shack were encouraged briefly that they were on the trail of the Ne gro escnpeee wanted on charges of murder and rape. But, they eoulin't be sure. A check of the shack for Tyson's fingerprints was negative. Prisons director George Randall pointed out that the food could have been left by one of those participating in the big manhunt in the rugged, heavily-wooded area near Falls of Neuse, about 13 miles north of Raleigh. Randall said the big posse 01" patrolmen, prison officers, depu lies, SBI agents, wildlife game wardens plus a dozen National Guardsmen is getting a lot of leads that we have to check." But so far, he said. "They have all led into dead ends." t TV - 4 a - - WILLIAM POTEAT FLICKUST Carolina Theatre "Toby Tyler" starting at 1:19, 3:14, 5:09, 7:04 and 9:07 p.m. Varsity Theatre ' Home from the Hill" starting at 1:31), 4:(H, 6:30 and 9 p.m. Friday night's free flick will be "Brief Interlude" and Saturday night's, "Spectre ofthe Rose."

"But we have to assume he's still there until we get a report otherwise." Randall said the entire area, several miles in circumjference, "Ivs been covered at least once. We're now going over spots and are ncheckir.g." A false report that a wildlife commission spotting plane had sighted a man running in the woods brought a flurry of excite ment Thursday and aroused hopes briefly that the long search might be near an end. The hopes were dashed, however, when it develop ed that wildlife personnel, listen ing in on radio conversation to ?nd from the plane, had misun derstood. The long search for Tyson, who will be 41 years old Friday, began two weeks ago Thursday. It got under way when the body of Mrs. Clyde Farnell, wife of the steward at Raleigh's Camp Polk Prison, was found in an outhouse behind her home near the prison. She had been stabbed 17 times. Tyson, an honor grader work ing in the prison slaughter house, had walked off from his job about on hour before the body was found. The Farnell's automobile was missing and was found that night abandoned on a lonely road north of Raleigh only a few miles from the Falls of Neuse sec tion. An intense hunt was conducted for several days. When it proved fruitless officers figured he had escaped from the area. But the search was resumed and intensified over the past weekend. There was evidence Tyson had broken into a Raleigh man's rural cabin and left his name on the guest book plus his fingerprints on other articles. Then a Negro woman reported Tyson had spent the night in her home and raped ; her and another Negro woman. She said he was armed wun a shotgun. Tyson was proclaimed an out law. A $500 reward was placed on his head. This attracted a number of amateur bounty hunters, but brought no solid information as to his whereabouts. Randall said the purpose of the reward was to get "information leading to Tyson's arrest." He add ed that "anyone who has no law enforcement exeprience is en dangering himself and the lives of others when he goes in there. Godfrey Heads Meet Dean James Godfrey will lead a panel discussion on "The Uni versity Library" at the final meet ing of the American Association of University Professors, Monday 8.00 p.m., in the Morehead Build ing Faculty Lounge. Vi mli By DAVE JONES The choice of whether or not the University of North Carolina will remain on the National Stu dents Association will be put to a referendum of the Students. This was the decision made last even ing by the Student Legislature. The question arose in the de bate on the annual budget. An appropriation of $1,025 was called for in the budget. This item pro vided for the national member ship dues in the NSA and for the costs of maintaining it on campus and sending our seven delegates to the national conference. When the legislature got to this Symposium To Include Talks On Philosophy Philosophers and psychiatrists will get together for scholarly talks at a "Symposium on Existentialism, Phenomenology and Psychiatry" to be held here April 16-17.

Journalism Professor Writing New Textbook Another textbook will be added tc the large number of textual ma .erial written by members of the UNC faculty. Kenneth R. Byerly, professor of journalism, is the au thor of an untitled text dealing with phases of small daily, weekly and semi-weekly newspaper work. The text, which is being consider ed for publication by the Chilton publishing Co., Philadelphia', is the outgrowth of the author's lifetime of work and experience in the news paper field. He approaches his topic of local nevs gathering primarily through anecdotes, ideas and experiences of successful newspaper people known by him. Broaching some political questions in his book, Byerly confronts stu dents with questions of partisanship in endorsing political candidates and whether editors should run for political office. He notes a growing trend towards bi-partisanship and attempts to pre sent to the student the pros and cons of this question. Byerly lends first-hand experience to the book's several chapters deal ing with the business end of news papering. He and his son are pre sently co-owners of the Franklin, Va. paper. Previously he has pub lished newspapers in Wyoming and Montana. item a great deal of heated de bate arose. A motion by Jim Turn er (UP) to take the item out of the budget and to place the NSA before the student body in a ref erendum was ruled half out of order and half debatable by Speak er Pro Tempore Dennis Rash (UP). Rash ruled that as the body was in a "Committee of the Whole" only items pertaining to the specific measure could be con sidered for amendments. There fore he admitted debate on the question of striking the money from the budget. When debate became informal under the more lax rules, it be- Durham; Dr. Lucie Jessner of the UNC Department of Psychiatry; and Dr. Maurice Natanson of the UNC Department of Philosophy. Another member of the UNC De partment of Psychiatry also will speak at the first day's sessions, Dr. Milton Miller.

Hallmark Series Plans To Stimulate Writing A long-term, two-point program aimed at stimulating the writing of dramatic works for television has been announced by the sponsor of the Hallmark Hall of Fame televi sion series. J. C. Hall said the "Hallmark Fund for Television Drama" will be drawn upon to extend commis sions to writers and to supply cash awards of 10,000 for an internation al "Teleplay Writing Competition." j The program is to begin immedi- ' ately. came also heated. Eevcntual!y a roll call for quorum was asked and the resulting confusion prompted Speaker Bob Sevier to declare the committee dissolved and that the body was again in regular session. Sevier then took the chair and the first motion recognized was one from Rep. Bill Miller (SP) re stating the Turner motion in its entirety. This time the motion as a whole was ruled to be debata ble. Miller gave the floor to the Budget Committee Chairman, Gor don Street, who called for the passage of the measure and with it an edification of the campus is a whole on the NSA question. , Street t'pn vielded to Davis R. Young (SP-UF) who said that idealistic-ally he felt that there were enough people cn the camp us with doubts about NSA. He said that he favored the referen dum even though he intended to work for the retention of NSA. He further said that he couldn't deny the opponents their rights. Finally Rash asked for a non party vote and said, "Give the stu dents a chance to vote on some thing that belongs to them." The vote on the measure was 22 for and 13 against.
