U. S. TO PULL OUT OF WEST GERMANY?
BONN A well-informed source said Wednesday Presi
dent Kennedy personally assured Foreign Minister Heinrich
von Brentano that American troops will not be withdrawn
from West Germany even if the Bonn government refuses
to help pay. more of the costs.
The source said Kennedy made clear during his talks
with Von Brentano in Washington last month that he does
not intend to use the threat of troop reductions to pressure
West Germany into assuming a bigger share and help ease
the "dollar crisis."
Von Brentano went to Washington after Kennedy had
rejected a "one-shot" financial aid offer from West Germany.
CUBAN PRESS HITS CASTRO ENEMIES
HAVANA The government-controlled Cuban press on
Wednesday exploded in vehement editorial denunciation of
anti-Castro violence.
Bombs and bullets of counter-revolutionaries have killed
two persons and wounded 11 others in various parts of Cuba
this week.
FRANCE TO CONTINUE TESTING
PARIS Defense Minister tPierre Messmer announced
Wednesday France will continue nuclear tests in the Sahara
area of central-southern Algeria and "may explode a hydrogen
bomb there.
The, announcement was the first official disclosure that
France is seeking to perfect a hydrogen "bomb although it has
been known that scientists were working on the project.
'KICK COMMUNISM OUT OF CONGO'
LEOPOLD VILLE, The Congo Congolese Premier Joseph
Ileo vowed Wednesday to "kick communism out of the Congo."
At the same time Congolese troops were reported beating and
disarming small groups of United Nations soldiers.

Kivu Provine.' There were reports that the number of Euro

WASHINGTON President Kennedy said Wfednesday he
hopes the economy is coming out of its "slump, 1 but that he
hasn't seen any evidence yet that would justify cancelling his
anti-recession program.
"I think it would be premature to make a judgment that
our ' economy is on the rise and therefore, that there is no
necessity for action," Kennedy told his news, conference. "I
don't take that view at all. I think all of these programs are
needed."

The Di-Phi Society soundly
defeated a bill to revise Caro
lina's honor system Tuesday
night.
Proposed by John Randall,
the bill called for the establish
ment of a proctor system and a
student-faculty honor council.
Randall defended his bill
saying that the main problem
of the present system is that all
the emphasis is on enforcement
and not enough on detection
and detention.
He suggested that faculty
members on the council would
alleviate inconsistencies in trial
methods and penalties.
Men's Honor Council Chair
man Bill Sayers maintained the
two proposals were incongruent
to the honor system and 'stu
dent government and would
eliminate pride in honesty.
Sayers Defends
"The proctor system," Sayers
said, "would eliminate only one
type of ofiense classroom
cheating. It could not check on
cheating in a dorm, stealing in
Two Professors
Absent Today
As Consultants
Absent from the campus as
consultants today are Kenan
Professor Urban T. Holmes Jr.
and Dr. John W. Carr III, direc
tor of UNC's Computation Cen
ter. Professor Holmes, UNC scho
lar and authority on mediaeval
language and literature, is in
Washington, D. C, serving at
the Office of Education. He is
a member of a panel which de
termines the types of fellow
ships to be awarded under the
National Defense Education Act.
Tomorrow Dr. Holmes will at
tend a meeting of the Southern
Fellowships Fund in Atlanta,
Ga.
Dr. Carr is in Atlanta, Ga. for
preliminary discussions on a
proposed conference d e a li n g
with computation centers and
the problems which could be
solved more effectively by in
ter - institutional andor inter
state cooperation. j
a store or falsification on library
cards."
He further stated students are
better able to try students than
faculty members since they
know best . the pressures and
problems of students.
Bob Silliman said the proc
tor system would encourage the
beat-the-system game.
Parlance Editor Carroll Raver
proposed the establishment of
1) a constitution to govern trial
procedures, 2) a list of rights
for the defendant, 3) an as
signed lawyer for the defendant,
4) a faculty committee to en
dorse candidates for Honor
Council, 5) detailed minutes of
all trials and 6) the abolish
ment of jury trials.
'Disrespect For System'
Joe Ferrell declared "the
proctor system would breed dis
respect for the system which it
seeks to protect" and under this
system there would be. prac
tical difficulties such as who
would be the proctors, who
would pay them and to whom
would they be responsible.
Davis Young pointed out that
most faculty members would
want no part of trials or en
dorsement committees.
Speaking in behalf of those
who are dishonest, John Snyder
said that cheating has a healthy
side in that it points out a weak
ness in the present educational
system.

WASHINGTON (UPI) President Kennedy said to
day that Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara has
recommended strengthening this country's conventional
military forces. But the President stressed that no pro
posal has been made for lessening reliance on nuclear
striking power.
The President told his news conference he had
"reached no decision that would indicate there has been
a change in reliance upon nuclear weapons." He said he
thought Secretary of State Dean Rusk made that clear in
testimony before the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee
Tuesday.
Rapid-fire questioning on this
issue brought Kennedy's fifth
presidential news conference to
a conclusion, with the President
saying the administration is in
tent on maintaining American
power wherever needed.
He said McNamara had corn-

General Overhaul
But he denied that this would
be any "shift" from the nuclear
weapons concept. He said Mc
Namara was talking about "a
general strengthening of cur
armed forces."
The question about conven
tional and nuclear power policy
under the Kennedy administra
tion stemmed from a contro
versy over how far Rusk had
gone in recommendations to the
Defense Department.
Rusk issued Tuesday a state
ment approved by the Presi
dent to clarify a memorandum
he sent recently to the Defense
Department. He said this coun
try should bolster its conven
tional forces while maintaining
nuclear striking effectiveness.
On other points, the Presi
dent said:
He has issued an executive
order setting up a "peace corps"
of " American- youths to serve
overseas in underdeveloped
countries on a pilot basis. He
will propose legislation to
create the corps on a permanent
basis..'

C onversation
BY JONATHAN YARDLEY
Dr. James L Godfrey is a quiet, reticent man with strong
opinions. The relaxation he displays when he leans back in his
chair and talks of his two jobs is deceptive; his words and
ideas are couched in unwavering terms, and his duties are
carried out with unceasing zeal.
Part of his daily life is spent in a crowded classroom in
Saunders Hall, preaching Trevelyan, Macauley and Churchill
in a manner that has made "Godfrey and England" a byword ,
on the North Carolina campus.
The other part is spent reading reports and statistics,
making decisions and receiving visitors in his South Building
office. There, as Dean of the Faculty, he laves a life that is far
removed from the classroom yet vitally important to it.
"If you'll look in the catalogue," he said, "you'll see that
the chancellor is the administrative head of the entire Univer
sity; but the University is divided into two districts Health
Affairs and Academic Affairs. Dr. Henry Clark is in charge of
the first, and I have the latter. Each of us has an administrative
responsibility to the chancellor, to keep him from being burd
ened with all the details of running the University
"Actually, he holds me primarily responsible for the
budget, and I work with that a good part of the time. I have
to try to share the money as equitably as possible, and at the
same time I have to make it go as far as possible. Needless to
say, that will present problems from time to time.
"In addition, I do special things that the chancellor may
ask me to doodds and ends, mainly. I have to keep a general
view of appointments and promotions that concern the welfare
of Academic Affairs.. These, of course, normally start at the
departmental level and work their way up. I don't wander
around telling departments who should be promoted. My job
D
r. James Godfrey, Carolina Personality
Of
The
week
is to raise the conditions and quality of work in Academic
Affairs, not to set a pace or determine a mood."
Dr. Godfrey has long been concerned with the intellectual
state of the campus, and an outspoken voice on the subject.
V
The mention of it brought a spark to his eyes.
"I've known this University since 1931 when I came here
as a graduate student. We had, in those days, a good faculty
and a reasonable number of bright students and adequate
facilities. But always we've had too many students and I'm
afraid faculty who aren't keenly interested in academic mat
ters. Now it's hard to measure these things and ; impression is
a notoriously bad counselor, but I have the feeling that things
are on the' way up. Why just last semester I had more protests
over grades than ever before! I think that's a good sign.
Dr. James L. Godfrey
"But at the same time I think students' fritter away en
tirely too .much time on non-essential extracurriculars. You
know what I mean parades, floats, drives and so .forth yet.
for all that energy contribute very little. The fraternities have
not always lived up to all their responsibilities: I get distressed
by reports that tell me about students who have had studying
to do and are forced to spend their time on foolish fraternity
activities like building floats or shining shoes." - . .
The Dean's secretary interrupted to announce a visitor.
Dr. Godfrey left briefly to greet the Dean of the College from
Brown University who was in Chapel Hill on a fact-finding
tour. Ivy League schools, it seems, have problems too." When
the visitor had been cared for, Dr. Godfrey returned to voice
his opinions about student-faculty relations.
"I just don't think that the students really want to haye
much to do with the faculty; the bulk of them simply have no
interest in any relationship beyond the classroom. And, you
know, I suspect that's true of the bulk of the faculty. There's
such a tremendous gap between" the ages of the two groups,
not to mention a variation in circumstance and; quite often, a
division of interest: ...
"This doesn't mean that the faculty isn't perfectly access
ible. They are almost always available for conferences and
academic advice. But,, when you come right down to it stu
dents want to associate with students and faculty want to
associate with faculty.
"But there is an element of impersonality that I find rather
unattractive. There are 94 students in my class; how can I even
get to know their names, much less anything more, unless they
are willing to come to me?"
Dr. Godfrey's attention was diverted to a set of Churchill's
history of the Second World War that sits on his bookshelves.
He has the distinction of being one of the few men in Chapel
Hill to have read the entire work; his admiration of the author
shows in the enthusiasm with which he views his writings.
For a few minutes this professor-administrator mused
about ways to improve the academic atmosphere of the campus
and gave his impressions of the educational theory that advo
cates university instruction only for those who are deemed
exceptionally able. Then, thinking about the current "mood"
of college students, he caught fire.
"A sensitive student in the '30's turned instinctively to an
examination of the social organization. You see, in the depres
sion it just didn't make any sense to have all the capacity to
supply the needs of all the people and yet not to do so. I sup
pose students today have a totally different sort of stress on
themselves . . . the atomic weapons and the possibility of
annihilation.
"I don't know the philosophical term for this, but I think
they are living day by day the moment matters. They ques
tion the existence of traditional values because those values
seem so pointless in the face of annihilation. But you know
this is strange in my whole life I've never spent a total of ten
minutes worrying about the atom bomb.
"What worries me is that we'll be destroyed not by bombs
but by a loss of direction. The drift and the materialism will
corrode us. I think . . . well, we'll go 'not with a bang but a
whimper.'"
