To Curb Student Group Opposes Bi A delegation from Orange: County-appeared in Ra leigh Tuesday to oppose a bill that would . make it more difficult for college students to vote. The delegation was formed after it was learned that a bill concerning voting rights had passed the Senate and included a section designed to clarify the voting rights of col lege students. This section of the bill would make it almost impossible for a student who moves from the county or state where his par ents live to register to vote in the district where he goes to school. Board Endorsement The bill carries the endorse ment of the State Board of Elections and according to Ray mond Maxwell, chairman of that board, it just puts into writing what the law already states. Samuel McClamroch, mayor- elect of Chanel Hill, said that Maxwell told him that many of the students already registered to vote here were registered in violation of present laws. The members of the House Commilttee on Elections and Election Laws which was study ing the bill were impressed by the argumnts of the delegation and according to McClamroch, the bill would probably be killed in the committee. Purpose Of Laws The purpose of the' original election laws not allowing stu dents to vote, was to keep them from taking over local govern ment, according to Maxwell. Judge L. J. Phipps said, "We are not afraid of students in Chapel Hill taking over the gov ernment." Julian Mason, a professor of English at UNC, pointed out to the committee that all the grad uate students and their wives would be barred from voting if this bill passes. He said that there were also 1,431 married men and 261 married women taking undergraduate work at UNC who would not be allowed to vote. Average Ages The delegation told the com mittee that the average age of undergraduates at UNC is over 22 and the average age for graduate students is over 27. Rep. John Umstead of Orange County will exclude Orange County from the bill even if it should pass the committee and the House according to Mayor elect McClamroch, but the com mittee was hoping to have the bill killed for all students in the states. The members of the delega tion were: Judge L. J. Phipps of Chapel Hill; Samuel McClam roch, mayor-elect of Chapel 1 n sir n It 1 D. D. tiwnhowtr Voting Hill; Bob Huffman, former ChaDel Hill YDC president; Mrs. Virginia Nicholson, mem ber of the State Democratic Executive Committee; Julian Mason, a professor of English at UNC.

This week's Sunday Cinema presentation, the last once of indent Po Council Action Favored Students questioned in a Daily Tar Heel telephone poll- yesterday afternoon were almost unanimously opposed to Chancellor Wil liam B. Aycock's action in suspending Doug Moe. With less than 24 hours remaining of Moe's stay. on the UNC campus a widespread but small poll found students al most, evenly split on whether the star should have been sus pended. The principle objection voiced was that the decision was made by Aycock rather than the Hon or Council. Calls were made to six men's dormitories, three, fraternities, three women's dormitories, and two random off-campus apart ments. Doesn't Believe One of the three students who felt that Aycock was the proper person to make the decision said, "I do not believe in the Honor Council." The twenty-odd other persons contacted felt that the Honor Council should have decided. "This is a slap in the students' face," said one. Another felt that, "Aycock tried to pass the buck, but when the Honor Council did not suspend Moe, he reneged and went over the stu dents' heads." The suspension itself was viewed from two different polls. The people questioned were al most equally divided on the is sue. ' , . "Best Thing'; "This was the best thing for the University and for Moe," said one fraternity resident. An other thought the suspension "completely bad." On the other hand, one off campus resident said, "Why should Moe receive the same penalty for refusing this bribe as those who took the bribes when he had enough integrity to turn down the. money?" One girl questioned thought the suspension a "shame." An other coed thought he should have been suspended, but not in the manner which he was. The consensus was expressed by one male dorm resident when ho stated, "I am not sure Moe should have been suspended, but I am sure Chancellor Ay cock shoiild not have done it."

WLoe Pres ident Acquittal Bill Harriss, President of the Student Body, said in a statement yesterday that "the Honor Council was en tirely justified in its decision" to acquit Doug Moe of failing to turn in Lou Brown for a bribery attempt. Harriss also pointed out that "there were two dif ferent and distinct cases. One case was tried by the Honor Council and the other was handled by the Chancellor (William B. Aycock.)" Harriss's full statement fol lows: "Douglas Moe was charged with failure to turn in Lou Brown for a bribery attempt. There is a precedent in Honor Council cases of this nature that was adhered to in accord ance with just judicial proce dure. This precedent is that in cases of failure to report, the original offender has to be found guilty before a person can be convicted on failure to report an offense. Not Informed "The Honor Council was not informed that Lou Brown had left school under other than honorable circumstances. Lou Brown was never brought be fore the Honor Council, there fore, he was never convicted. "Much of the misunderstand ing that exists concerning the Honor Council's decision is due to the fact that persons do not understand the limited evidence that was given to the Council. "The evidence presented made no mention of the fact that Douglas Moe had lied to the Chancellor or that he on three other occasions had withheld evidence. In the evidence, it was also made clear that the $75.00 gift had nothing to do with the offense. "The case presented to the Council was tried on the evid ence and due to the precedent mentioned above Douglas Moe was adjudged not guilty of the offense. "There were two different cases, one was presented to the Honor Council as described above, and the Chancellor made his own decision to suspend Douglas Moe on the basis that Douglas Moe had personally lied it it BY CHANCELLOR AYCOCK Complete On Moe Is it Chancellor William B. Aycock's statement, made Wednesday afternoon, follows: The Men's Honor Council met last night to decide whether or not the failure of Douglas Moe to report that a fellow student attempted to bribe him on two occa sions (September and December 1960) constituted a vio lation of the Honor Code. that he was not guilty of this charge. Apart from the charge before the Honor Council was the fact that Douglas Moe assured me on March 22, 1961, that he was in no way involved in the al leged basketball scandals under investigation by the District At torney of New York City. After three conferences with him, he still had not divulged the fact that he had received $75 in connection with an at tempted bribe in, September 1960. It was not until a fourth conference that Douglas Moe, in response to my specific ques tion, admitted that he received the $75. For his initial misstatement and subsequent concealment of the facts Douglas Moe has been suspended indefinitely from the University by me. Indefinite suspension is a less severe disciplinary measure than expulsion. No considera tion will be given to an applica tion by Douglas Moe for read mission prior to the Spring Se mester of 1962. Louis Brown withdrew from the University on March 29, 1961. He was permitted to with draw with the stipulation that he could not return without per mission of the Chancellor. Thus the withdrawal was under other than honorable conditions. Due to the University's cooperation with the investigation by the New York City District Attorn CASE o insBensioio Be feu d Of Mo to him and on three other oc casions had concealed evidence. "I think it should be pointed out emphatically here that there were two different and distinct cases. One case was tried by the Honor Council and the other was handled by the Chancellor. I believe that since the Honor Council was given the case, they should have been given the en tire case rather than a partial (Continued on page 3) Castro Campaign Against Catholics Gains Momentum MIAMI (UPI) Premier Fidel Castro's campaign against the Roman Catholic Church gained momentum Thursday. Priests and nuns vere reported prepar ing for a mass exodus from Cuba. A purge of priests was under way and radio broadcosts from the island said five were jailed in connection with Castro's May Day edict nationalizing all pri vate schools and calling for the ouster of foreign-born priests. -- At the same time other re ports from Havana reaching here said more than 100 priests are under virtual house arrest and churches are under around- the-clock military guard.
