Kennedy Desires
Executive Action
On Civil Rights
WASHINGTON (UPI) An
administration spokesman indi
cated Thursday that President
Kennedy wants to conduct the
fight for civil rights through his
White House powers rather than
by seeking Congressional ac
tion. Harris Wofford, a special as
sistant to the President, raised
this question at a civil liberties
conference here:
"Are we on guard to avoid a
tendency to lose a long, hard
fight for a congressional civil
rights bill rather than to win a
quiet steady campaign for ef
fective executive action?"
Wofford, Thurgood Marshall,
legal counsel for the NAACP,
and Rep. John B. Lindsay, R
N.Y., were among the speakers
at the annual Civil Liberties
Clearing House Conference. The
clearing house brings together
representatives of about 100 lib
eral groups to discuss civil
rights issues.
Wofford urged civil rights
champion to make full use of
the new opportunities for exe
cutive branch leadership.
"I do not mean that the new
avenue of executive action will
be easy," Wofford said. "This
course has plenty of contradic
tions and will not discharge the
responsibilities of Congress for
appropriate leadership and action."
Personality Of TBe iweek Ho war
BY JONATHAN YARDLEY
Graham Memorial Director Howard Henry is ; a short,
stocky man who believes that the status quo can. always be
changed for the better. He paces about his cramped quarters .
in the outmoded structure that passes as a student union with
the air of a man who senses a change and can't wait to see it
c fleeted. ,
His graying, wiry hair used to bristle straight up in a
modified "G.I." cut, but not too long after Mr. Kennedy was
elected he adopted an ordinary part and slicked it down a
little. No one has been able to decide whether the influence
was J.F.K. or just another manifestation of his urge to change
things. v
He sits in his Graham Memorial office behind a mile-long
desk piled high with papers of every imaginable description.
Invariably there is a sheaf of publicity material and lately
there has been a growing pile of drawings and figures about
Mr. Henry's latest project, the proposed new student union.
"The excitement I feel about the possibility of a new build
ing is just tremendous," he said. "We're proceeding with the
planning now, and I get more optimistic every day. Dean
Henderson has appointed a committee to get things underway
formally, and we're now considering what the new union
should do. I was out of town during the first meeting but ;
another is coming up soon and believe me I'm ready to get
things going!
"You always have to limit yourself whenever you go into
a thing like this, because of money and time and so forth, but
I have a basic concept of what I think the building should
offer. It should conveniently group together the space and
services demanded by a student body of the size of Carolina's.
There should be plenty of space for lounging, of course, and
recreation. I'd also like to have rooms that could be used for
things like traveling art displays.
"We can expand into areas that we haven't even been abl

ment and through Celestina one

Celestina, "What is a life with
out love."

Marines Alerted
To Laotian Threat
By WALTER LOGANvUPI
. United States Marines were
reported alerted Thursday for
possible military intervention
should the Communist threat to
Laos increase.
As concern over Communist
backed moves in Laos grew,
Great Britain asked Russia to
cease fire before the Laotian civ
il war could blaze out of con
trol. And in Bangkok, military
advisers of the eight-nation
SEATO alliance mapped strate
gy to be used if needed.
Peace Move
The British peace move was
made in a note delivered in
Moscow to Soviet Foreign Vice
Minister Nikolai Firiubin.
A Moscow dispatch said he
appeared receptive and indicat
ed the Kremlin itself is serious
ly concerned with the deterior
ation of the Laotian situation
and would like to find a mutual
ly satisfactory solution.
British Aide
The British aide memoir call
ed for an immediate cease fire,
a meeting of the India-Poland-Canada
commission formed in
1954 to police the truce in the
Indo-Chinese civil war, and
eventual convocation of a 14
nation conference to write a
permanent settlement.
The military situation in La
os was obscure. The Commun
ists broadcast victory claims.
Reports in Bangkok said the
rebels were within 15 miles of
the administrative capital of
Vientiane and menacing Luang
Prabang, the royal capital.

thing like that. Of course we need ample office space for stu
dent activities that's of tremendous importance. They don't
have to be posh, but they should at least be efficient.. The lack
of permanence in student facilities has been very harmful.
"A snack bar area is very important too. You can have a
nice place with good lighting that can be used not just for eat
ing but also for things like combos and floor shows and pro
motional skits. And, you know, I'd like to see a bowling alley
in the building. The number of potential users would be just
tremendous. But that would have to come later. You can't sit
on your hands with old equipment. I think what we've got on
the book so far is very good." , .
Mr. Henry leaned back in his chair and stared at the ceil
ing. The road to the moments that lie ahead and the new
union that is just around the corner has been a long one. He
stretched his -arms and began to reminisce about the chain of
events that brought him, finally, to Chapel Hill.
"I was at the University of Wisconsin in Madison for a
long time. I did my undergraduate work there and was' intro
duced to union activity when I worked in the union ' as a
waiter. I liked Madison very much and was fascinated by the
union, so before long I found myself thinking up. things that
needed doing: I stayed on and worked there, doing things like
a complete physical inventory of all the equipment. I had a
lot of fun trying to bring a rather chaotic state of affairs into
order.
"Then I left for the war. When I came back I went to work
in a bank. I didn't care much for counting bills all day and was
considering going into insurance. Then one' day the director
of the union at Wisconsin called me and suggested I , come and
look at a project they were trying, a branch cafeteria a mile
away from the union. This sounded like a lot of fun, and since
they asked me to start the operation I took the job and never '
really regretted it.
"I wasn't limited to the food operation and later moved t3

Hi
About New Student Union
Leadership died
As Qualification
Thirteen students were initiated in the Order of the
Grail in pre-dawn ceremonies this morning.
The Order of the Grail is the highest undergraduate
men's honorary.
The new Knights include: Frederick Randolph An
derson, Jr., Rutherfordton; Erwin Warner Bass, Nash
ville, Tenn.; Timothy Brooks Burnett, Greensboro; and
Walter Estes Dellinger III, Charlotte.
Also: Ray Simpson Farris, Charlotte; James Carlos
Gaulden, Jr., Durham; Wayne Edgar King, Hickory;
Henry Newton Patterson, Jr., I
Manhasset, N. Y.; and Forrest
Alfred Pollard, Jr., Durham.
Also: James Dennis Rash,
Lenoir; Robert English Sevier,
Asheville; Peter Anthony
Thompson, Durham; and Willis
Padgett Whichard, Durham.
The Order of the Grail was
established in 1920 as a means
of recognizing outstanding men
of the university community
who exemplify the virtue of
leadership characterized by
the four cardinal goals the Grail
symbolizes leadership, truth,
cuorage and service. .
The specific problem which
inspired the formation of the
Order was the growing aware
ness on the part of the found
ers of a serious lack of unity on
the Carolina campus.
It was felt that growing an
tagonism between dormitory
and fraternity men was jnpair
ing the effectiveness of united
campus efforts."
The membership of. the
Order was thus divided between
dormitory.7 and fraternity men
as a means of providing a
representative group qualified
to discuss the problem and at
tempt to find a solution.
This year the Order has
sponsored a number of activities
in an attempt to bring the
Hefty Puppy
Has Been Lost
Where is Roosevelt? Roosevelt
is a large, white St. Bernard
puppy. His more outstanding
features include a large brown
patch on his back and a smaller
brown patch over his right eye.
He was last seen in the Wilson
Library at about 3 p.m. Wed
nesday. Roosevelt is reported to be a
tail-wagger of inordinate skill
and frequency. He is extreme
ly friendly and will come to
anyone. He is only four and
one-half months old in spite of
his mature and dignified ap
pearance. The general excellence of this
dog has caused his owner to
suffer a mild breakdown at his
loss. Anyone seeing Roosevelt
is requested to call St. Anthony
Hall, where the owner's friends
are sustaining him with spiri
tual solace and nourishing bowls
of warm soup and mash.
a considerable project involving refurbishing the union. It was
very interesting, working with architects and design, selecting
fabrics and paint colors and so forth a real good experience.
During the succeeding years our problem was to bring the
operation in line with the costs, because the post-war enroll
ment jump had leveled off and we had less income. During the
next five years I acquired a considerable area of operation, and
I also had an ideal working arrangement with the business
manager and the director. It was really a most pleasant
situation."
Mr. Henry paced slowly across the carpet, ending in front
of the window. He stared out into the parking lot and con
tinued talking in his soft, modulated voice.
"I guess I came down here because the thing up at Madi
son was such a real nice operation that things were going too
easily. And I guess I really wanted to be a director. I started
talking to people here in 1956, and was completely fascinated
by the union system in Chapel Hill. This was one of the first
unions in the country and it was almost the way it was when
it was built. No expansion, no progress of any material nature.
The system of limiting the director to a two-year tenure waj
hurting things.-
; "There was a tremendous amount of management by the
board and very little by the director. Everything was tied down
by circumstances.. It was really a pretty challenging sort of
situation to run into, now that I think about it.
"But what impressed me most was Chapel Hill and the
students. I liked the real strong amount of student control over
student activities. You know, college should be the turning'
loose point for a person. He ought to be able to learn to govern
himself. I felt this spirit and freedom and it appealed to me
tremendously. When the job was offered I took it and don't
regret it for a single moment. But I can't wait for the new
buildingI really believe they're going to let us have it,"
