Remodeled Pine Room Open In November With New Kitchen, Snack Bar, Cafeteria By Linda Cravotta "Students will be unable to recognize the old Pine Room when its remodeling is completed, for it will exist in name only," said George Frillaman, Director of the Dining Halls for the University. Scheduled originally to be opened by September 15, unforsecn prob lems in construction have held up its completion date untii Novem ber 15. In 1942 when Lenoir Hall Cafe teria was built, the Pine Room was nothing but a dirt-filled base ment. Later that year, an Offi cers' Mess Hall for Navy Prc f light School Cadets was con structed. Eventually it was con verted into a snack bar for stu dents. Most Beautiful "In my opinion the new Pine Room will be the most beautiful cafrteria and snack bar at any college," .aid Frillaman, who has worked for three years on plans and ideas for the remodeling. The features of the new Pine Room include a completely new kitchen with the latest type of cooking equipment, ranging from an electronic oven to an automatic pushbutton coffee maker. In addition to a snack bar, a cafeteria will also be available. A new system of ventilation is being installed which will remove stale air and replace it with fresh air. BERLIN (UPI) West Berlin police hurled 36 tear gas grenades at East Berlin police Tuesday night in the second such exchange within 24 hours. They acted after the Reds threw 26 grenades at a loudspeaker truck broadcasting on the border. A similar communist tear gas barrage at a loudspeaker truck Monday night brought immediate retaliation from the West Germans. The incident came after a U.S. official at the only crossing point open to the Western Allies began turning back American motorists in civilian clothes even though their cars bore U.S. Army license plates. Tuesday night, however, two Americans wearing civilian clothes crossed into East Berlin unopposed in a car bearing U.S. State De partment plates. There was no immediate ex planation by senior American Guerilla Wars, U. S. Security Seminar Topics A combined operation of the U.S. Army and the Greek Raiding Forces invaded Political Science 91 yesterday afternoon in Caldwell Hall and captured the entire semi nar. Capt. Herbert Schandler of the National Security Problems Semi nar aided by Capt. Tsaganis and Capt. Polizois of the Greek Raiding Forces led a seminar discussion on "The political, economic, social, and military problems of guerilla warfare." Captain Schandler, a former po litical philosophy professor at West Point and a former faculty member of the Special Warfare School at Ft. Bragg, said, "The subversive problem today is-basically political, economic and so cial. The military action is second ary." "Subversive Movements" "Today's seminar covers the whole area of subversive move ments their nature and causes and means of fighting them." The students of this honors course will go to Ft. Bragg on 13 November to be briefed on the capabilities of the 7th Special Forces Group Airborne, whose mis sion is to direct, organize, equip and train native forces in guerilla warfare during wartime and to advise and train friendly govern ments in combating communist guerilla movements during peace time. Captains Tsaganis and Polizois are attending a Special Forces and Psychological Warfare course at Ft. Bragg. They have been here four months and like the U.S. Capt. Tsaganis said that the training they are getting at Ft. Bragg will "help us very much when we return to Greece." Booths And Tables There will be booths added in addition to new formica-covered tables and chairs. A 29-foot foam rubber covered bench will stretch across one wall in the lobby. Tables with lamps and lounge chairs will also be placed in the lobby. A specially designed mural 30 feet by 5 fect will decorate the far wall of the Pine Room. New indirect lighting has been installed. The pine in the Pine Room has been completely refin ished. The ceiling has been painted a brilliant white. The marble floors have been ground and pol ished. Other features of the new cafeteria-snack bar will be the addi tion of infra-red lights above the food serving counters to keep food warm. The new Pine Room will have a seating capacity of 340 people. Its hours will remain the same (7:00 a.m.-12:00 midnight) and its prices will remain the same. "There has been pressure to in crease prices but I feel that a stu dent should be fed good food as cheaply as possible," said Prilla man, who is proud of the fact that one can eat three meals a day at Lenoir for $1.00. "This is helping the student pay for his college education and . there are many who need this type of. as-" siitencc." representatives, who have rejected all Communist East German de mands that they be allowed to control Allied traffic between the two halves of the divided city. The East German Interior Minis try said Monday night East Ger many has the right to control civilian traffic and that civilians would have to show identity cards. British and American officials re plied that no Allied traffic is sub ject to East German control. The development came after the official East German newspaper Neues Deutschland accused the United States of staginb border provocations aimed at creating dis order and warning that a peace treaty with Russia would end such actions. Still later, officials at the border point said the orders had been amended and no longer applied to newsmen on instructions of su perior officers. State Denartment nffirials snirt i i. - ... 1 oraers to troops patrolling tne bor der were "normal." They said they had received no official re ports ; on car haltings. Privately, however, high West ernsources said the travel restric tions on Americans had been im posed Tuesday. But they declined to speculate on whether or how long they might continue. Controversy Builds Around UNC Author's Reading Text Compiled From DTH Wire Reports "Communism attracts many dis appointed idealists who have be come i convinced that democracy has betrayed its values ..." This statement and others like it are included in a new collection of reading . material- for - seventh and eighth grade students. The collec tion was edited by Thelma Gwinn Thurstone, UNC professor of edu cation and a noted author of texts. The series, "Reading for Under standing," is currently controvers ial among many parents and edu cators. In Ventura County, Calif., some of the. statements made in the read ing matter have been branded "too controversial" for 12-and-13-year olds and withdrawn from use in the schools. In the Chicago suburb of Glencoe, on the other hand, a reading con sultant to the town's four element ary schools believes that throwing some controversy into reading mat ter causes pupils to pay better at tention to what they are reading. The learning method employed by the series uses 440 cards, each with 10 incomplete statements, which must be completed by students.- These statements relate to the social sciences, natural and physical sciences, the arts, philoso phy and mathematics. 9 1 m K J'i, ' if 1 Nv, I.- " ' , ??

The Pine Room is scheduled to reopen November 15 with improved kitchen facilities, a new snack bar and cafeteria. Photo by George Wallace UNC graduate school of social work, will speak at 8 tonight in Howell Hall on "Can the UN meet today's challenges?" The lecture is in conjunction with international UN week, Oct. 22-27. Since November 1960, Mrs. How ard has been . with the Interna tional Cooperation Administration as an International Education Con sultant and as a liaison with the Peace Corps. Under the auspices of the American Association for the UN, Mrs. Howard led a People-to-People Mission to the Headquarters of the Specialized Agencies in Eu rope in 1957. She visited the UNESCO headquarters in Paris; the World Court at the Hague, Netherlands; WHO, ILO in Geneva, and the Food and Agricultural Or ganization in Rome. West Berlin Visit Mrs. Howard has traveled ex tensively in many countries. " In 1958 she spent two weeks in Rus sia and East and West Berlin. She has toured critical areas in the Middle East, including Egypt, Jor dan, Israel and Turkey. An experienced speaker about world events, Mrs. Howard has produced more than 45 TV shows on United States foreign policy and has given more than 200 speeches. An example: "It is unwise to underestimate the attraction that communism has for many disap pointed idealists who have become convinced that Democracy: "A can admit no defects. "B is the hope of the oppressed. "C will work if given a chance. "D has betrayed its values." "D has betrayed its values." "D is correct, since it is the only answer which preserves the sense of the statement. Other statements in the material suggest that many present moral standards may be obselete; that democracy has failed to bring peace, brotherhood, clean politics or honest, capable officials; and that this nation has sometimes been the aggressor on the world scene. Dr. Thurstone took the 4,400 statements in the book from var ious sources, rewriting some. According to Dr. George Beau champ, professor of education at Northwestern University, who sup ports the Thurstone publication, "It is propaganda, not education to show youngsters only one side of a question," said Bcauchamp. "I should like to see kindcrgart-en-age youngsters exposed to some controversial ideas in school. "How else are we going to educate a de mocratic populace to go to the polls and resolve controversy intelligent ly."

WASHINGTON U. S. atomic experts believed Tuesday that the big one is still to come in Russia's nuclear weapon tests. The "big one" is the 50-megaton monster which Nikita S. Khrush chev said last week would be exploded on Oct. 30 or Oct. 31. One au thority speculated it may be detonated at an altitude of 100 miles or so to check the missile "kill range" of H-bombb bursts in space 6 False Security9 Claimed NEW YORK Maj. Alexander P. Dc Scversky said Tuesday the Defense Department may have lulled the American people into "a false sense of security" when it claimed the United States now has the nuclear powpr to destroy an aggressor. He was particularly critical of statements made last Saturday by Deputy Defense Secretary Roswcll Gilpatric at Hot Springs, Va. in a speech cleared by President Kennedy and Secretary of State Dean Rusk. , , . , ; ; . Reds Build New Line HOF, Germany The East German Communists are building a miniature Siegfried line along the 174-mile border facing Bavaria, of ficial West German sources said Tuesday. The new line to halt the flow of East German refugees includes underground bunkers and concrete slabs which are replacing barbed wire barricades similar to the wall in Berlin. Latin American Revolutions New revolutionary turmoil wracked Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador and the Dominican Republic Tuesday. Another unsuccessful plot to as sassinate Fidel Castro was reported in Cuba. In Bolivia, police and carabineers killed at least six college boys and striking transport workers and injured 50 others Monday night in a half-dozen head-on clashes and subsequent street battles. The government imposed a state of siege, decreed press censor ship and closed down all educational institutions. Private cars were commandeered to break a transport strike. Accuse U.S. On Border BERLIN The official East German newspaper Neues Deutsch land accused the United States Tuesday of staging border provoca tions aimed at creating disorder and said a peace treaty with Rus- sia would end such actions. Despite Communist threats and border shootings, West Berlin po lice announced that 22 more East Berliners fled to freedom during the night, one a Communist border guard who broke his leg jump ing from a second floor window into the French Sector. iiiliii yy yy: s. s.v- . ?y. yyyyysyy.-.-:-.- . f f- - v junior, Levittown, N.

The Junior Class president nomination, Richard Vinroot, came after extended debate. There were recommendations that the SP not iominate those candidates who de sire double endorsement. Student Body President Bill Harriss said, "If a student government is going to continue on campus, we must have two strong parties. Double endorsement defeats that pur pose." Officers nominated by the SP for Junior Class in addition to Von- root were: Vice-president, Howard Holsenbeck; secretary, Beth Walk er; treasurer, Leon Barber; social chairman, Mary Marshall.

"I don't know which would be more dismayed at the disappear ance of the other." Harrington, editor of NEW AMERICA, the Socialist Party newspaper, was debating former HUAC staff member Lewis on "Ooeration Abolition," HUAC's version of the 1960 San Francisco student "riots." Lewis, in discussing the broader Three Cadets Get Honor For AFROTC Three senior AFROTC cadets at Carolina have been named Distin guished Military Students by Pro fessor of Air Science Lt. Col. Gor don D. Kage. The cadets receiving the honor are Cadet Lt. Col. William J. Ritchie, Cadet Captain Joe E. Davies, and Cadet 1st Lt. James C. Burrus. These cadets, upon successfully graduating as Distinguished Mili tary Students, will be given the opportunity to apply for an ap pointment in the Regular Air Force. Their fellow senior cadets will first have to serve in the Air Force Reserve before they can enter Regular Air Force active duty. Upper One-Third To become Distinguished Mili tary Students, these cadets had to meet the following requirements: l) Be in the upper one-third of their military class in AFROTC subjects. (2) Have an accumula tive or academic standing among the upper one-third of all students in the institution pursuing the same academic major and scheduled to graduate the same school year. 3) Possess high moral character and definite aptitude for service in the Air Force. (4) Have distin guished himself by demonstrated leadership, particularly by par ticipation in recognized extra-curricular activities. While in attendance at the AFROTC Summer Training Unit he must be ranked in the upper one-third of all cadets at his Sum mer Training Unit. They must maintain the stand ards given above through their senior year. From Greensboro Cadet Lt. Col. Ritchie is from Greensboro, North Carolina and is working toward an A.B. degree in Physical Education. He is Cadet Group Commander of the AFROTC Cadet Corps this year. Cadet Captain Davies is from Alexandria, Virginia, and is work ing for a B.S. degree in Industrial Relations. He is on the UNC foot ball team and actively participates in Monogram Club. Cadet 1st Lt. Burrus from Engelhard, N- C, is working for a B.S. degree is Industrial Relations.

Overflow Crowd An overflow crowd completely filled Carroll Hall where the de bate was held. People jammed the aisles, stood at ' the back and sides of the hall, and sat in the windows throughout the 45-minute film and the two-and-a-half hour debate and question-answer per iod. Hundreds of persons were turned away for lack of room. The film and debate were spon sored by the Carolina Forum of student government and the cam pus Young Republicans Club. The film's technical accuracy was not a point of major consid eration. Harrington pointed out several alleged time distortions and instances where the film did not conform with what the nar rator (Lewis also film technical director) was saying. "This flick exemplifies the mcr curochromc theory,' " said Har rington. "One drop of red mcr curochrome in a clear glass of water makes the entire glass pink." His attack did not center on de tails of the film, said the Social ist editor, because he didn't have "a handy-dandy anti-'Operation Abolition' kit" in reference to the extensive files which Lewis had with him. (A statement made late in the question-answer session by Ful ton Lewis caused some contro versy. The Cuban revolution, said Lewis had been engineered by "27 beatniks up in the moun tains.") "The obscene rituals of recan tation and recrimination" as Har rington described HUAC's investi gatory processes were the center of discussion. "For the time being, in this per iod of national peril, united action is needed," said Lewis. "What kind of Communist activities 'A'hich should be made illegal is a pri mary legislative goal of the House Committee." Harrington countered, "This poli tics of paranoia HUAC, McCar thyism, Birclmm cripples the (Continued on Page 3) Kissinger To Talk At Duke Dr. Henry A.
