Student Council Chairman Issues Trial Statement Tom Cannon, chairman of the Student Council, wrote a letter to the Daily Tar Heel yester day in answer to DTH stories concerning the conviction of a UNC junior for baring himself before a Durham theater audi ence. His statement follows: "As a result of the news ar ticle and editorial in yester day's Tar Heel, I would like to clarify several points concerning the trial of Sam Hollingsworth last Thursday night. "1) The Student Council is behind its decision 100. To anyone who feels that a deci sion was in error or has been unfairly tried the Council will recommend that an appeal be dhade. "2) The' tape (of the Fried man trial) was introduced as evidence by the defense, not by the investigator. "3) Of the four material wit nesses presented by the de fense, not one would testify that he knew of the defendant's whereabouts at the time of the incident on stage."

(UPI) A mob of white mm and shrieking women attacked a mixed roup of "free dom riders" Saturday when their bus arrived at this for mer capital of the Confederacy. Several were mercilessly beaten. "Kill the nigger-loving ," they screamed when one of the white freedom riders stepped from the bus. Four bearded youths immediately pounced on 21-year-old Jim Zwerg,- a tall youth neatly dressed in l business suit. He was knocked , to the pavement with a rain of blows to the face and should ers and lay bleeding profuse ly in the street. Zwerg was the only white member of the free dom riders group on the bus. Hollingsworth Asks Statement Of Mistrial Sam Hollingsworth submitted a request for statement of mis trial to Assistant Dean of Stu dent Affairs William Long yes terday. Hollingsworth was suspended from school by the Student Council in a controversial trial held last Thursday night. The request claimed he was denied six judicial rights in that trial. In what he said was one of the main points in his argu ment, the junior stated that a voting member of the Council left his trial while important testimony was being delivered. The member later voted in the Council's decision to suspend. Hollingsworth also stated he was forced to introduce tapes which may have acted against him in order to rcbutt a prose cution statement from Ray Jcf feries.

Williams, a sophomore, was named first place winner in the Junior Class Essay Contest yesterday by class president Ray Farris. The essay concerned "The University and Its Meaning." The essay follows: With the dawn of each new day the world awakes to shouts from the morning headlines of new and ever more dra matic conquests of the Space Age and triumphs in Man's at tempt to unravel the mysteries of a Universe vast beyond com prehension. Buried beneath the sensation of science, war, and crime, one may occasionally encounter a tiny bit of informa tion relevant to Man's greatest struggle the understanding of Self and the problems of human coexistence in a society where materialism and technological supremacy emerge as the stand ard of value, accompanied by a deterioration of moral order and integrity. Cry of Irony After the immediate glory of the three-inch headlines has successfully awed and hypnotized, there may be heard a feeble and less alluring cry from the editorial page or from the more cautious and reflective observer of the human scene. In this cry there is irony an irony of inconsistency. In all our greatness, we bask in apathy. For every oasis of conquest, there remains an ever-broadening desert of passivity and unconcern. Scattered among the deserts and oases of modern civilization stands the University, the institution of greatest potential for removing the irony of inconsistency. From the instituton's emergence in centuries past its very name has been described its role, "universal," touching on every facet of human endeavor and understanding. The University today wields its influence to a greater ex tent than at any time in history training in the professions of medicine, nursing, and law; creating, developing and improving awareness and standard of living through the sciences, both pure and technological; perpetuating our historical heritage in the arts, music, painting, and literature; striving for more ef fective human understanding in government, international rela tions, and moral responsibility. The University should be, and is to an impressive extent, the womb of creative thought, the soundingboard of ideas and hypotheses, the instrument of theory verification in both tech nological and social sciences. The University dedicates itself to a preservation of the past with a simultaneous daring for the futuristic and unprecedented, be it in social reform, art, or science. In the University today there exists the most optimistic hope for a fruitful road to the future guided by the exper ienced arm of history and precedent, yet in mere existence there is no essence. The development of pragmatic essence in the face of growing cynicism and pessimism society's self-appointed challenge to the University, both as an institution and as an allance of individuals with related ideals promises no simple solution. Social scientists such as David Ricsman of the University of Chicago, in a recent article published by THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY, confront the American people with a rather de pressing picture of our current state of existence. We" have become an age of spectators rather than participants, due, ironically, to progress in the technological development of television, motion pictures, and the "hi-fi." Spectators Even in athletics we have become spctcators, content to sit idly by in easy chairs, criticizing the "professionals." Greater "sport" seems to be offered by placing wagers on the big leagues" than by participating individually in less publicised events. The result: American youth now falls far short of the international average in physical fitness and we are losing our supremacy in such competition as the Olympic Games. The average American today has no need to develop his own musical talent; he has but to "flip the switch" and the great or chestras of the world fill the room with Beethoven, Bernstein, and Armstrong. Rather than read Faulkner, rather than ana lyze current events ourselves, we arc content to take the often distorted and unrealistic interpretations of motion pictures or biased sources. According to the social scientists, we have become an -age of "degree hunters" rather than seekers of education. The very term "education" has developed new connotations; it is now .so amorphous as to virtually escape definition. Contemporary theologians such as Paul Tillich of Harvard are becoming in creasingly alarmed by the general lack of "ultimate v concern" on the part of churchmen and non-churchmen alike ; . This lack has not confined itself to theology; the air Df noi ultimacy permeates a shockingly large number of university classrooms, while nuclear advancements place Man's fate in iperilous jeopardy, his moral integrity on the brink of decision. Modern literature dramatizes Man s predicament by an. abun dance of near-psychotic studies in Nihilism and confrontation of existential meaninglessness in life. Even in the era of greatest scientific progress ahd bjec- tivity" individuality and cautious skepticism are yielding r-to mass conformity and gulibility in the hands of Madison Ave nue. We are apparently living in an age of "taken-for-granted-ness," an era when the cliche, "better to be liied than right," has true significance. Space Frontier The rugged individualism of the western frontier is ap parently all but lacking on the "space frontier." Colleges speak of the "gentleman's C" while paradoxically the nation fights for world supremac?! The colleges and universities, perhaps more than any other institution, are America, and the key to sane moral order. If we who compose this institution remain apathetic, or only speak in tones of criticism, leaving the action to "others," men who are the others? Americans today are aware ot a problem, but at the same time most are apparently unaware that only in their own individual hands lies the solution. When we reach a state of satisfaction, .a state of stagnation is soon to follow. America today is not stagnant because we have not been satisfied. From the platform of a national political convention to the Sunday morning pulpit, from the relaxation of the "coffee-break" to the intensity of the operat ing room or the physics lab there is a healthy discontent with our present state. America's Problem From every "answer" arise a dozen more intriguing ques tions. America's problem today lies not so much in contented satisfaction as in a failure to rise to action in the face of the dissatisfaction. We have become falsely secure in the "something for nothing" attitude prompted by governmental intervention m the face of-economic crisis during the past three decades, all the while apparently forgetting that the government is the people. A lethargic .and uninformed people inevitably leads to a crumbling government or a rise of despotism. Infatuated by statistics, the social scientist proposes a dismal picture of American society today. If we chmoose to seek the "average," then perhaps their reports are valid, but American strength was not created by "taking the average." Democracy may propose that each citizen have a voice in the government, but at the forefront of the government. will always be the sturdy individual, the seasoned and trained politician whose tactics we may question but whose' results we have yet to improve upon ourselves. - The man in the White House is not The men of the Pentagon, -the cabinet, the industrial might .of the nation there is no "average" here. These men are individuals indi viduals whose birth may have been a statistic, but who u : . not content to remain at the midline of a sociological raj a. Much Apathy Such is the case of the University today. Indeed, within t! " institution there is much apathy and lack of action, but . . . one has only to attend a meeting of the Foreign S"udent ; P. o I or a Human Relations Committee or a Peace Corps in?' i t group or observe the dedication to belief supported by a-f i in the theater picket lines or speak but for a moment w;?h students whose concern and achievement has placed them in the Order of the Grail, the Golden Fleece, the Valkyr: -, r Phi Beta Kappa ... or visit a scientist in his laboratory, or an historian in his study. Here there is hope for a future which the social scu mi s predict is doomed to mediocrity. Here there is dissati-fart-mi and concern, and with the concern there is action. From t in action there are results. From the results, the "avcrar' mo. , a bit higher; there is an ever-broadening sphere of action .,' the center of which is optimism and unquenchable i?i. ah -idealism which built a nation and a democracy, fought for i ; defense against destruction from without, and tights in deh :: , against collapse from within. University Action Within the context of this problem, the University r t fulfill its meaning its raisnn d'etre. The University. id al synonymous with action. With all of its shortcomings, the t'm versity is stiikingly like democracy as described by Sir V -,-ston Churchill, ". . . the worst possible form of govcrnn. except for all the others that have been tried!"' One of the great fallacies predominating the Univr-dy today is the idea of "preparation." In viewing academi- train ing as a means toward an end in a future career, proff . -o- -r vocation, we often lose sight of the important fact that we air- citizens no tu. Undoubtedly we are in a state cf preparation ' r the heavy responsibilities of the years ahead, but to trft that we have responsibilities and opportunities lor icrvuc m the present is to open the door to mediocrity. Great Names Many of the great names of science and the art;, were c t -5 - lished before the age of thirty. The youthfulness cf :ome ef ?; -recent Nobel recipients and the tremendous productivity r f tragically short-lived artists and writers is sufficient to con vince the most apathetic student that creativity is not r.tca.-- sarily a function of age. , (Continued on page 3) ( I!
