'You have dared to be above the average. . . . You have
lost yourself . . . and tonight in the darkness of this hall you
will find the Golden Fleece."
These words from Jason's oration were spoken to an
audience of 2,000 in Memorial Hall here tonight just before
hooded giants stalked the aisles and tapped 16 new mem
bers for the Order of the Golden Fleece, highest men's hono
rary of the University of North Carolina.
Dr. Sturgis Elleno Leavitt, Kenan Professor of Spanish;
Nathan Anthony Womack, chairman of the Department of
Surgery, and George Vanderbeck Taylor, Associate Profes
sor of History; and 13 students were honored. Also, present
officers of the Order were announced, their identities having
been kept secret throughout the year.
First to be tapped was Ray Simpson Farris, Charlotte;
then came Stanley Warren Black, III, Charlotte; William
Floyd Sayers Jr., Gastonia; Henry Newton Patterson Jr.',
Manhasset, N. Y.; Lewis Odis Rush Jr., Asheboro; Hans Ru
dolf Frankfort, East Orange, N. J.; Charles Farris Himes,
Brevard; George Worth Campbell Jr., High Point; David
Eugene Price, Erwin, Tennessee; Willis Padgett Whichard,
Durham; Louis Haynes Gump, Johnson City, Tennessee; Nor
ton Fortune Tennille Jr., Winston-Salem; and Denton Lotz,
Northport, New York.
All of the students are seniors except Farris, Patterson,
Campbell, Whichard, who are juniors; and Frankfort, who is
a graduate student.
Officers Announced
It was announced that Harvey Peck, Durham, has been
Jason (president) of the 657-member organization during the
1960-61 academic year. Robert Vernon Fulk Jr., Wilming
ton, was introduced as Hyparchos (vice-president); Howard
Holderness Jr., Greensboro, as Grammateus (secretary); and
Raymond Stanley, Chapel Hill, as Chrystopher (treasurer).
The dramatic hour-long ceremony included the reading
of the legend of Jason and the quest for the Golden F leece.
Kenneth Lawing Penegar, former Jason of the Order and
third-year law student at the University, was the narrator
of the legend. -
Active Argonauts appeared on the stage with the new
members at the .conclusion of the program. They included
Paul Gene Strassler, Harvey Peck, James "Martin Scott, David
Lee Grigg, Lawrence Byron Austin, III, Robert Vernon Fulk
Jr., Roger Babson Foushee, and Maurice Glen Johnson, all
students in the University.
Occupying special seats in the auditorium were alumni
members of the Order, who joined active members and ini
tiates for a banquet at the Carolina-Inn following the tap
ping ceremony. Main speaker for this occasion, a closed meet
ing of the Order, was Argonaut Terry Sanford, Governor of
the State of North Carolina. He was tapped into the Order
as a student in 1941.
Jason's Speech
The annual oration of Jason gives some indication of the
significance of membership in the order. In delivering it,
Peck said, "The qualities sought in Argonauts of old are as
real anfd as necessary today as in days past."
"In a world pleading for leadership," he continued, "is
it not proper that we here in all humility attempt to honor
those qualities of leadership and the men among us who
emulate them?" ,
"To those chosen, let it be a tribute to work well done.
To others, let it be an encouragement to higher achievement.
To still others, let it be a challenge to prove the omissions
of this night a testimony to human error in judgment."
Referring to the years of University history when "there
have always been those who have risen in times of need and
crisis, have loved this place, and given themselves in devoted
service to it," Jason- said, "it is they and their ideal which
made it great."
He stated that the Fleece fifty-eight years ago when it
was organized "became guardian of this ideal that it might
have its fullest realization."
"In those men honored tonight and in their desires to
give fully to University life are mirrored the qualities on
which this ideal depends," he said.

"" "'

By FRANCIS L. MCCARTHY
United Press International
A fighting force of Cuban rebels invaded their homeland by air and sea today only
90 miles from Havana, and Premier Fidel Castro declared a state of national emer
gency.
Rebel troops swamped ashore after midnight in the swampy area around the
Bahia de Cochinos, the Bay of Pigs. The invasion area lies at the south of Matanzas
Province below Havana.
First indications were that the casualties were heavy.
Near midday the largest radio station in Havana, CMQ, was heard announcing
that Castro had declared a state of national emergency.
There were reports segments of the Cuban navy had revolted. For more than an
hour this morning naval sta
tions were heard trying to raise
Cuban naval headquarters in
Havana by radio. Castro has
conducted four major purges of
the Navy -in the--last-Tear.
Uprising Hinted
Castro called for action
against "those who are sur
prised committing . . . sabot
age, shooting, or assassination
attempts" indicating that an
uprising within Cuba had ac
companied the invasion.
In a broadcast statement Cas
tro identified himself as "commander-in-chief
and prime
minister," indicating that he
had assumed personal command.
President Osvaldo Dorticos pre
viously had been designated as
commander-in-chief of the
armed forces.
Streams of persons were re
ported jamming the roads into
the Escambray Mountains where
guerilla bands have been oper
ating against Castro. They were
believQd to be civilians on the
move and not invaders.
As the government acted to
fight off the invaders, Cuba had

PETITE DRAMATIQUE
. . . set for weekend
The appointments of Dwight
Wheless as Presidential Assist
ant and Allen Cronenbcrg as
Attorney General were an
nounced yesterday by Student
Body President Bill Harriss.
Wheless, a sophomore from
High Point, is currently floor
leader in Student Legislature
for the Student Party and chair
man of the Ways and Means
Committee.
He has also served as a dele
gate to State Student Legisla
ture and as vice-chairman of
the party.
Of the appointment, Presi
dent Harriss said:
"Dwight has been one of the
key men in the rise of the Stu
dent Party this year and one
of the men whose interest, dedi
cation and enthusiasm has
brought the party to its present
heights.
"He has applied the same en
thusiasm in everything he has
attempted since he came to
Carolina. I am certain that he
will do an excellent job as
Presidential Assistant."
Wheless will serve in coor
dinating the. executive staff
with Student Government in
general, setting up appoint
ments and keeping an eye on
Student Government commit
tees and presidential activities.
Cronenberg, a junior from
Rocky Mount, advocated a three
point program for his staff for
the coming year. First, he hopes
to educate the student body in
the philosophy of the honor sys
tem at Carolina.
Second, he wants the staff to
act as a "middle man" between
the university administration
(which decides whether or not
to have a student charged with
an Honor or Campus Code vio
lation heard before one of the
honor councils) and the coun
cils themselves.
Third, Cronenberg said some
re-organizational work on the
Attorney General's staff needs
to be done. The recent Consti
tutional amendment which in
effect abolished the Student
Council will make necessary
some shuffling of the staff and
its investigative work.
Cronenberg said that he hopes
to work with Student Legisla
ture in connection with any
new judicial legislation to
come up.
that the attack was waged by
mercenaries" from bases in
Florida, and Guatemala. The in
vasion, Cuba said,, was financed
by the United States. "
U.S. Sympathetic
In Washington, Secretary of
State Dean Rusk denied that
the invasion came from Ameri
can soil, but said the United
States is sympathetic with the
invaders' aims.
The landing by anti-Castro
was accompanied by a rebel
radio appeal for a simultaneous
uprising within Cuba.
Several hours after dawn the
government's internal radio
communications system, which
had been commandeered by the
army, reported invaders were
dropping by parachute, that
planes were bombing and straf
ing the beachhead area, and that j
two gunboats supported the as
sault. President Jose Miro Cardona
of the Cuban Revolutionary
Council in New York said the
assault was the beginning of
the battle "to liberate our

US Sympathizes
With Invasion
WASHINGTON (UPI) Sec
retary of State Dean Rusk said
today the anti-Castro invasion
Cuba was not staged from
American soil but that the
United States is sympathetic
with the aims of those participating.
Rusk said the Cuban affair
was one for the Cubans them
selves to settle but that the
United States was not indiffer
ent to the extension of Com
munist tyranny in this hemis
phere. No Intervention
He pledged again that there
would be no armed American
intervention in Cuba. He hedg
ed, however, when asked at his
news conference whether this
meant the United States was
abandoning its traditional right
to go to the aid of endangered
American citizens.
Rusk said that was a ques
tion he would have to leave for
the future.
Nor would he predict what ac
tion the United States might
take if Russia intervenes on
Castro's side.
While ruling out intervention
to aid the anti-Castro forces,
Rusk said there was no doubt
