This was the first in a series of 10 North Carolina college debates to be televised this year. As a result of their win, Carolina will meet Wake Forest Monday, Nov. 13, in the second debate on current issues. WORLD MEWS BRIEFS By United Press International World Protests Bomb New waves of shock and anger swept the free world Tuesday against Russia's explosion of its super nuclear bomb. Anti-Soviet demonstrations broke out in Britain, Norway, Italy and Japan. World indignation increased when Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev told Communist leaders on Tuesday in Moscow Russian scientists made a "mistake" and joked that the explosion was bigger than the 50-megaton blast they had planned. In Tokyo, 200 snake-dancing ultra-leftist Zengakurn federation students snake-danced outside the Soviet Embassy in noisy protest against the explosion their first anti-Russian moves. The Russians ignored them. U. S. May Test WASHINGTON The United States will announce "within a few days" whether it will resume nuclear tests in the atmosphere, the chairman of the House-Senate Atomic Energy Committee predicted Tuesday. Rep. Albert Thomas, D.-Tcx., hinlcd to newsmen that he ex pects the decision will be to go ahead with the above-ground tests. He spoke after receiving an "up-to-the-minute'' briefing from Atomic Energy Commission and Central Intelligence Agency officials. AEC Chairman Glenn T. Seabord said last weekend that the de cision rested with President Kennedy. The issue, according to Thomas, is whether such testing is needed to maintain the U.S. nuclear lead over Russia. Seabord has said that the results of the current Soviet series must be analyzed first. Two New Red Bombs WASHINGTON Russia exploded two surprise nuclear bombs Tuesday even as the fallout cloud from its 50-megaton blast drifted across Siberia toward North America. Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev had told the Communist Party Congress in Moscow that Monday's monster bomb would end the current Russian test series. But it obviously was not the final shot. The U.S. Atomic Energy Commission said Tuesday's first blast unleashed the force of several million tons of TNT, or megatons. The second was described as in the intermediate to high yield range, probably one megaton. Berlin Police Fire BERLIN Communist police opened fire twice Tuesday night on East German refugees seeking to flee across the tense East-West city border to 'West Berlin. West Berlin police said six of the fleeing East Germans most of them women and children were rounded up by the Cornmunist guards who had fired on them. But about four other East Berliners managed to escape during the afternoon, police said. The gunfire broke out shortly after West Berlin police announced that they had routed East Berlin Communist police in four tear gas grenade duels on the Americaa-Soviet sector border Monday night and Tuesday. the policies of the present Administration." The Southern panel, one of five touring the nation this fall, will visit 17 other cities in Tennessee, North Carolina, West Virginia and Florida by Thursday. Rep. Cramer, a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of UNC, told 250 guests at a $5-a-plate chicken luncheon in Charlotte Monday that the congres sional redisricting bill passed by the 1961 legislature was a "gerry mander scheme obviously aimed at getting rid of Charlie Jonas," North Carolina's only GOP congressman. He also predicted overwhelming re election for Jonas, who has not said whether he will seek a sixth term. Excessive Spending At a $50-a-plate roast-beef supper in Asheville Monday, the panel warned about 200 Republicans that the present administration is guilty of excessive spending, "backdoor financing" of federal projects, inde cisive foreign policy, lack of execu tive leadership and secrecy in gov ernment. Tomorrow the group will also hold a panel discussion at 10:30 a.m. in the Wake Forest Law Build ing, attend a 12:30 p.m. Fifth Dis trict conference and luncheon in Winston-Salem and speak in Bur lington at 7:00 p.m. They go to West Virginia Thurs day.

Morehead Scholars Grown Since 1951 (Editor's note: This article on the Morehead scholarships is the third in a series of background informa tion of John Motley Morehead. UNC's second annual Morehead Day will be held next Friday.) My MARTIN KROMMING The Morehead Scholarships, created in 1951 through the efforts of John Motley Morehead, has maintained for its central purpose the attraction of outstanding young men to the Carolina campus. In a warding this scholarship the Cen tral Scholarship Committee weighs its decision solely on the merits of the boy candidate and casts out any thought of need. When the Morehead Scholarships became available in 1951 they were presented to North Carolina stu dents for graduate andor profes sional study. But in 1954, the com mittee decided to abolish this plan and offered awards to students in North Carolina public and private schools for undergraduate work. Out Of State Grants Finally, in 1955 Episcopal High School in Alexandria, Virginia and Woodberry Forest School in Wood berry Forest, Virginia became- the first two out-of-state private insti tutions to be included in the pro gram. This year, fourteen private out of state schools along the eastern sea board were offered two Scholar Halloween Recalls Prankster Profs By CHUCK MOONEY UNC professors used to cele brate Halloween by putting small sailboats on the main street, plac ing wagons on top of schoolhouscs, setting cardboard boxes full of water above doors to drench neigh bors and giving gifts to unfortunate children. Charles Bernard, dean of admis sions, and his brother used to fill small cardboard boxes with water and balance them above screen doors. Then they would ring the doorbell and run. When the people answered the door, they' got a shower. Dean Bernard and his brother also built a skeleton and covered it with tinfoil. They would hide on the roof of a garage on the main street late at night and dangle the skeleton in front of passersby. The skeleton was wired so that it would shock anybody who was brave enough to touch it. There weren't many of these," said Bernard. Flipped Model-T "My brother and some boys turned a Model-T over on its top one time," he said. Political Science Professor Mon roe and his friends used to have parties with apple-bobbing contests and taffy-pulling contests. The con testants would get prizes. ' Later 4 1 V -.J ships apiece. This year there are 143 Morehead scholars on campus in addition to Jim Reston, who is studying at Ox ford, Tom Alexander and Al Rich, who is studying in Spain for his senior year. Since the Morehead Scholarship program was initiated there have been 318 awards made, of which 283 young men have enrolled in the University. Given $1,173 A Year Each in-state and out-of-s t a t e student who accepts a Morehead is presented $1175 once a year for four years. Since this amount does not take care of tuition, a North Carolina resident is given $175.03 while an out of state individual is allowed $600.00. In setting up the scholarship pro gram, "Uncle Mot" made the sti pulation that a Morehead student should handle his own affairs and the $1175 he is given can be used in any way he sees fit. Moreheads have been involved in honors programs, Phi Beta Kappa, NROTC, AFROTC, athletics, pub lications, and fraternity and dormi. tory life. The past three student presidents have been Morehead scholars. Moreheads are actively teaching at Vanderbilt University, North Carolina State, North Carolinlp, Duke, New York University and the University of Washington. in the evening, we would take the prizes across town and give them to the less fortunate kids," he added. Professor Wager, also in the Po litical Science Department, and a group of friends took a wagon apart one year and re-assemblcd it on top of their one-room schoolhouse. He said they also stole gates and soaped windows. Moved Sailboats Dr. Wallace, of the Political Science Department, and ten or fifteen friends used to lif t m smU sailing skiffs out of the water and line them up in front of the post office on their main street. Psychology Professor George Welsh and his friends in Pennsyl vania would dress up in costumes and sing, dance, recite poetry or tell jokes for neighbors. "Then they would try to guess who we were," he said. "They usually gave us a reward afterwards. Occasion ally we would soap windows or write on walls with chalk, but not very often and this was usually before Halloween." Dr. Adams, chairman of the De partment of Philosophy, said that since it was over a mile to the nearest neighbor's house, playing a prank just wasn't worth the walk. i ' ri - - "($"4 j v. " x' - ; ' IFC Hears Deferred ProBosal: To IFC Agrees To New Coed Rule On Visit Hours The new visiting agreement for UNC fraternities will go into effect today. President Bill Sullivan of the IFC signed the agreement last Thurs day making it the official document for coed and "import" visaing hours and conditions. The agree ment was studied by . the IFC in conjunction with the Pan-Hellenic Council and the University ad ministration. The agreement contains a change in the earlier "drinking and con duct" clause. Previously this clause forbid drinking with women visitors present. Now, however, the chap ter accepts responsibility for all its members conducting them selves in "full compliance with the Campus Code and, in particular, with regard to the University's policy concerning the consumption of alcoholic beverages." Each fraternity party must be caperoned by a married couple, housemother or a faculty member. They are required at all fraternity functions where the entire mem bership is invited to participate. The IFC recognizes their respon sibility in enforcing this agreement and, according to President Sulli van, "this is the most important part of the agreement." Represen tatives of the IFC will be assigned to fraternities on Friday and Sat urday nights and for Sunday morn ing clcan-up. These representatives will also inspect the houses prior to closing hours. Along with Bill Long, assistant dean of student affairs, Mrs. Mar tha DeBerry, acting dean of wo men, representing the administra tion, the student members of the committee were taken from a cross-section of the involved groups. The student representatives at the discussion were Janice Haley, Pan-Hellenic Council, Cam Tabor, Carolina Women's Council; Pam Parker, Women's Residence Coun cil; Larry Medford, president of the Professional Interfraternity Council and Bill Sullivan, Billy Riley and Bill Farrell from the IFC. Dean Bill Long said the new visit ing agreement was the "result of collective thought. There was no intention of . . . "one party to sup erimpose their views on the visit ing agreement on the other." The agreement will be in effect until the end of the school year. Great Great Granddaughter Of First Student Now UNC Coed A petite, brunette freshman at UNC has a special connection with the University which none of the other students can claim. Eighteen year old Martha Capel, a pharmacy major from Apex, is the great great ganddaughter of Hinton James, the first student at Carolina. The trek of Hinton James, who came to the University soon after its doors had first opened in 1795, has been a subject of controversy tor many years. According to legend, James trudged over 150 miles from Wilmington in New Hanover County to Chapel Hill. Martha, who has heard many stories about her ancestor from her grandmother, Mrs. Luther C. Broome of Peachland, says that she heard he had come part of the way by donkey. A former president of the University, Kemp Battle, said that James had undoubtedly come part of the way by horse. Admires Ancestor Nevertheless. Martha considers her ancestor to have been most am bitious and admires him for it. "I could have walked from Apex to Chapel Hill," she said, "but not i'rom Wilmington." The dau -liter of a former chief of police in Apex. Martha is not only the descendant of the memor able "first student" she also car ries with her the title of "Miss Apex." Crowned in April, she has participated in the ''Miss North Carolina" contest and in many public appearances throughout the state.

Start In Plan To HoldR One Semester Late By JOE DeBLASIO A motion to defer rush beginning in the school year 1963-64 was presented to the Interfraternity Council Mon day night at a meeting in Gerrard Hall. The motion, made by Bob Sevier, deferred rush com mittee chairman, called for a deletion of Article 4 of the Interfraternity Council By-Laws and substituting it with a completely new article drawn up by Sevier's committee. Since this requires an amendment to the by-laws- them McGill To Give Commencement Talk Next June Ralph McGill, Pulitizer Prize winning publisher of the ATLANTA CONSTITUTION, will give the Commencement address June 4 in Kenan Stadium. McGill won the Pulitizer Prize in 1959 for his editorials on the Southern racial situation. He has been described as one of the most respected ''liberal" journalists in the nation and the South. He has received awards from B'nai Brith and other national organizations. McGill was editor of the CON STITUTION from the late 1930's through 1960, when he became pub lisher. The Atlanta paper boasts .orator-politician Henry Grady and "Uncle Remus" author Joel Chand ler Harris as former editors. McGill's column is syndicated in a number of major newspapers, in cluding the Raleigh NEWS & OB- SERYER. He also has served as an ad viser and consultant on national problems during the Truman and Kennedy administrations.

Infirmary IHUisli 196 selves, the motion will not be voted on until the next meeting which is November 11. Spring Rush The article calls for deferment of fraternity rushing until the Spring semester with the dates of rushing determined by the IFC. It states that, in order to be eligible for rushing, a student, excluding juniors and seniors, must be in res idence in the University for one semester. Also, in a "move to start the fraternity scholarship on the right foot," the prospective rushee must have a 2 or "C" average be fore pledging. With regard to the relations be tween fraternity men and pro spective rushees, previously cov ered in a "strict silence," there will be a modified silence for the first semester. During this time fraternity men may speak to pro spective rushees but may not form ally entertain them in any manner. The Thanksgiving, Christmas and semester break vacations will be exempt from this ruling but follow ing the return to school from Christmas vacation there will exist a strict silence until the end of the formal rush. Silence Impractical Sevier explained a total strict silence was judged by the commit tee to be impractical. He said the rules were devised so that the IFC would have the least amount of trouble with violations. In order to enforce these rules when the deferred rush is installed in spring, 1964, the committee in cluded penalties for convicted fra ternities breaking the modified or strict silence. These penalties include an auto matic loss of intramural privileges for the convicted fraternity and an automatic fine of between $50 and $300 depending on the offense. Each of the representatives of the IFC will study the document in their respective chapter meetings this week and next with a vote on Nov. 11. Smith, Bayer Debate Junior Class Offices Newt Smith and Jeff Bayer will debate candidates for Junior Gass officers: Joe Craver, UP and Rich ard Vinroot, SP, on WUNC-Carrier Current's "Roundtable", Thursday, 7 to 7:30 p.m. The debate will center on Smith's assertion that there is no provision for the Junior Class officers in the Election Laws and Bayer's pro posal to run for Sophomore Class president and immediately abolish the office on election. The two candidates Vinroot and Craver will defend the validity of election of Junior Class officers and the value of all class officers. They will also examine Bayer's proposal to eliminate the Sophomore Class officers. The program's director, Charles Erickson said that questions from the audience would be expected and answered. Erickson said that stu dents listening to the program on Carrier Current may also phone in questions. "This is the first real controversy we've had on Carolina Roundtable" since it began," Erickson said. Smith has formally protested the Election's Board ruling on his first statement concerning the election. The board ruled to ignore his state ment and go ahead with the elec tion. Smith has since submitted a formal protest to the Student Coun cil. He is expected to read excerpts from the protest during the debate Thursday.- i
