Gestures Before 300
(Photo By Jim Wallace)
BY BILL HOBBS
Chancellor William B. Aycock, speaking to a mass meeting
of students Thursday night in Gerrard Hall asked, "Do you'
think the Honor Council would have believed me" if he had
submitted the Doug Moe lying case to the Council.
Some 300 students crowded into Gerrard after Aycock
addressed a demonstrating crowd in the lower quad inviting
them to "go somewhere where we can all sit down and talk
this thing over."
The group was addressed by Dean of Student Affairs
Charles Henderson, Assistant Dean William Long, Student
Body President Bill Harriss, Men's Honor Council President
George Campbell and numerous individual students in an
impromptu bull session lasting to almost 4 a.m. yesterday
morning.
Judged Not Guilty
"In the light of the fact that the Honor Council judged
Moe not guilty despite the evidence presented, do you think
they would have given me a fair chance?", asked Aycock when
questioned on why he did not turn the second Doug Moe case
over to the Council.
"I accept the responsibility for this decision. I did this
because of the very peculiar, extraordinary circumstances of
this case. I would do the same thing tomorrow if the same
circumstances arose."
These circumstances were primarily that he was the only
person who knew all the facts in the case. "I knew Moe had
lied, and Moe admitted to me that he lied, but I do not know
if he would have admitted this to the council," he said.
Case.. To.. Council
Aycock also told the crowd why he had turned the original
case' over to the Honor Council.
"I wanted to know if this shocked the conscience of stu
dent government. . . Nobody would have known how we felt
about this fundamental principle. ... Is this our standard of
conduct on this campus?"
Aycock spoke for about one half hour and then answered
student questions for over an hour. He gestured frequently and
.several times had to shout to make himself heard.
Noise Varied
Noise from the assembled students varied from extreme
quiet during the bulk of Aycock's speech to loud bursts of
applause during the questioning period following the talk.
' One point which the chancellor stressed during his talk
and the question period afterward was Moe's role as a student.
- "The first thesis of our honor system is that every single per
son here is a student first and anything else second," he said.
"In all judgments on Doug Moe, we considered him a stu
dent first and an athlete second. . . . Nothing special was hand
ed out to this individual. Doug Moe understood this yesterday
. (Wednesday)."
Henderson Orders
About halfway through the questioning period Dean Hen
derson took the rostrum in Gerrard to call for parliamentary
order in the discussion. The meeting itself was generally
orderly.
At this point George Campbell of the Men's Honor Council
addressed the group to explain the Council's acquittal of Moe.
He cited a 1958 precedent which the Council thought was per
tinent to the case.
"We could not convict Moe for not turning Brown in unless
we had already convicted Brown for the attempted bribery,"
explained Campbell. The Council was unable to try Brown
since he was not in school at the time of the trial Tuesday
night.
Other .Than Honorable
Furthermore, the Council did not know that Brown had
left school for "other than honorable reasens," said Campbell.
"The Honor Council never actually got to this case,' said
Aycock shortly afterward, "They found it out of their juris
diction since Brown had not been convicted." He felt this to
be an important point.
President Bill Harriss then took the stage and delineated
the student government position on the case and the Honor
System in general.
The student government is now in the process of a
thorough "house-cleaning" with special emphasis on the honor
system.
Challenges Audience
"I challenge each one of you who1 is a man to act with
honor and follow suit with your student government to make
the honor system work again on this campus."
At this point Dean Henderson again spoke to the students
with three questions, asking them for verbal answers.
"Do you want to live under student government?"
"Yes" shouted the students.
"Do you want to live under an honor system?"
"Yes" again, with cheers and clapping.

BY SUSAN LEWIS
(Editor's note: Last year when three of the seven
Astronauts were in Chapel Hill, Daily Tar Heel. Reporter
Susan Lewis interviewed them at the press conference. The
following is a revision of her story then . and her impres
sions of the three in the light of yesterday's successful
flight.)
When Astronaut Allen Shepard went up in a cloud of smoke
yesterday and landed in the ocean-water, he probably found
his week's training in Morehead Planetarium last year in
valuable. ,
Shepard, America's first man in space, was one of the three
Astronauts who spent a week in Chapel Hill, February 23
March 2. 1960, for a special training program.
The program was' to familiarize the men with the stars and
star patterns so they could recognize spontaneously those pat
terns and parts thereof.
Special Capsule
Using a special trainer capsule, the Astronauts took simu
lated trips through space, guiding their course, by a green streak
of light across the Planetarium dome.
Later the streak was removed and the Astronauts were
left to navigate on their own, following their path by stars
alone., ,
With stars as his roadmap . yesterday morning, Shepard's
experience was similar to that in Chapel Hill- except this time
the capsule was the Redstone, not a wooden crate, and the
voyage was real, not simulated.
With Shepard in Chapel Hill were Astronauts John Glenn,
selected as the final secondary man in Project Mercury, and
Gordon Cooper, later eliminated in the final selection of three
key. Astronauts from the original seven.
. Glenn, Cooper and the other Astronauts will be used in
later manned missile shots. Virgil Grissom, the third Astronaut
chosen as "backup" man for yesterday's shot, did not come to
Chapel Hill for his star guiding training.
The afternoon before their departure, they held a press
conference in the main Planetarium chamber for state press
men. -
Shepard and his partners stood at the base of the barbell
shaped .Planetarium machie, smiling and answering questions.
For the most part, Shepard was reserved; but when he spoke,
he employed his ready wit and made the sharpest remarks of

Meet With Hogan
Moe and Brown were to leave
that night under fictitious names
names for a meeting with New
York District Attorney Frank
Hogan. After Moe returned
from New York on March 24
Aycock asked him the same
question again. "Did Brown at
tempt to bribe you?" he asked.
The player replied in the nega
tive. After the grand jury hearings
in New York during Easter va
cation, Moe again met with Ay
cock and again denied any
knowledge of the scandals.
When Aycock returned from
a meeting in New York, he
asked Moe, for the fourth time,
he again asked the question,
"Did Louis Brown attempt to
bribe you?" "Yes," Moe admit
ted. ...
Council Takes Case
The chancellor continued. "I
asked the dean of student affairs
(Charles Henderson) to find out
if the council wanted to as
sume responsibility for this
case. The council decided to
take it.
"But on March 22 an entirely
new case began . . . Moe had
told me- he knew nothing of
these scandals. On this, I as
sumed I was dealing with an
innocent man. I asked the press
not to write about him. .. .
"Then I discovered that he
lied to me on the 22nd ... I
learned nothing until I heard
about it from other sources. I
don't say that it violated the
honor code; that's what I want
