Government Gives 1 Million In Loan The federal government today loaned one million dollars to the University to build apartment dwellings for married students. Chancellor William B. Aycock was informed by Horace R. Korne. gay, member of Congress, that the Community Facilities Administra tion of the Housing and Home Fi nance Agency has granted the loan to build housing for 92 student families. The federal loan will be repaid from student rentals. This will be an addition to the present Married Students Housing project here and will replace gradually the temporary wartime wooden housing units now used by married families who are in the student body. Besides the temporary wooden barracks and other wooden struc tures which comprise Victory Vil lage, the University two years ago built 222 brick two-story apart- U.S. Navy Plane Crashes With 11 In Atlantic Ocean BOSTON (UPD A Navy patrol bomber with 11 men aboard crashed in the Atlantic off the Vir ginia coast Wednesday while re turning from antisubmarine war fare exercises. The Navy here said two bodies, plane debris and a lifejneket were recovered by the carrier Lake Champlain some 300 miles east of Norfolk, Va. Names of the crewmen, official ly listed as missing, were with held pending notification of kin. The P2V Neptune twin-engine pa trol bomber vanished shortly after heading toward Brunswick, Maine, Naval Air Station from exercises wi!h the Lake Champlain. The Brunswick base lost another air craft of the . same type about a year ago when it plunged into the sea off Nova Scotia. All eight crew members were lost. The Lake Champlain reported that the bodies and wreckage were picked up in different areas miles apart. The P2V had been flying with a group of carrier-based planes. The life raft contained the ini tials of the plane's squadron at Brunswick. ment units. The million dollars just granted will increase the num ber of permanent-type apartments for married students to 314. Rep. Kornegay stressed that the new housing will be two-story buildings also and are intended for older graduate students with families of more than one child. Each apartment will have at least two bedrooms and some will have three bedrooms. MONOGRAM CLUB The Monogram Club will meet to night at 7:30 for a short business session. The members of the club may pick up their sideline passes at the upstairs office any time today I IlC Prime Reason Said Opposition To Tax Are RALEIGH (UPD A silent turn out of unorganized opposition squashed all 10 of North Carolina's $61.7 million capital improvements bond issues Tuesday in emphatic fashion. Tne results were a stunning set back to Gov. Terry Sanford and other "go forward" leaders who had pressed for approval of the measures carrying money for col lege and university campus build ing programs, state ports expan sion, mental hospitals and other items. Political observers quickly be gan assessing the meaning of the surprise rejection. Some issues fell by margins of two to one. In some counties, many of them listed as "k?y" po litical centers for the Sanford ad ministration the vote was even bigger against the bonds. Sanford had given hearty sup-- port to the bond issues although they were proposed by the Advis ory Budget Commission before he was inaugurated last January. Sanford however sat in on the Ad visory Budget hearings and said the bonds went hand-in-hand with his quality education program. The 1961 General Assembly which enacted the quality educa tion program and gave Sanford $69 million in new taxes to finance it also approved putting Tuesday's bond issue proposals to a vote. The same Legislature stopped short though on Sanford's recom mendation that his entire tax pro gram be submitted to an advisory f ' Military Rise To $50 Billion Hinted By JFK WASHINGTON (UPD President Kennedy Wednesday raised pros pects of a $50 billion-plus military budget next year by declaring he would propose higher defense spending to keep U.S. armed strength ahead of Russian might. The President also told a news conference the United States was pressing ahead with plans to re sume nuclear tests in the air if a study of recent Soviet tests shows such action is necessary. Reject ing any more voluntary test mora toriums, Kennedy said: "The Soviet Union tested while we were at the table negotiating with them. If they fooled us once, it is their fault. If they fool us twice, it is our fault." vote. The new taxes including ex tending the sales tax to food went into effect July 1. This according to political ob servers was the limit to which voters were willing to go in giving the new governor additional reve nues. Sanford and his aides in cluding State Treasurer Edwin Gill apparently were keenly aware of this and emphasized for several weeks that the bonds would not mean new taxes. John W. Umstead of Chapel Hill, chairman of the bond-supporting Citizens Committee for a Better North Carolina, said it appeared that the voters felt that the bond issues represented a "tax propo sition." Uust last week, he said, he felt the bond issues would pass, but became more aware of the ground swell against them as election day approached, Umstead said. The vote was heavy for a bond issue. It was expected that final tabulations will put the figure close to 300,000. In the most re cent bond election, 1959, only about 112,000 voters went to the polls. (Continued on Page 3) aBpoim it 1,300 Students In Protest Rally At East Carolina GREENVILLE, N- C. (UPI) North Carolina voters may have enthusiastically defeated the bond issues Tuesday, but an estimated 1,300 East Carolina College stu dents marched on downtown Greenville Wednesday to protest the defeat. The male students conducted a noisy one hour, 15-minute orderly demonstration and returned to the campus after a talk by President Leo Jenkins. He told the students that the col lege would continue its expansion program "in the best way pos sible." Jenkins spoke from the steps of one of the buildings which was to have been replaced by funds provided in the bond issue. ECC's new $230,000 football stadium would be finished, although private funds will be needed to raise an additional $50,000, he said. Private sources have already raised $200,000, but the bond is sues allotted $50,000 to the project. .71 Aycock Says Cause Misunderstanding By JOHN MEDLIN Disappointment, but not defeat, seemed to be the consensus ver- diet yesterday on the bond issue vote among leading University ot ficials. Chancellor William B. Aycock told the Daily Tar Heel Wednes day that he was "personally dis appointed, but not discouraged." He felt that the voters, who over whelmingly rejected all 10 propo sals of the $61.7 million state bond issue, did not fully understand the facts behind the issue. "Lots of people don't know what's going on in education. We have to have a lot of facilities to go along with our growth. We need more efforts to interpret our needs to -large numbers of people in the state," he added. Aycock offered no guesses as to why voters rejected Sanford's bond project. "Full understanding," he said, "will outweigh any reasons that predominated this time whether economical or political. A look at our educational history will reveal that when the people really understand, they will let them- Indents xironse JL a, si iocKe Over Defeat Of Bond Issue By DRENA EDWARDS "Student Government as a whole was shocked at the performance of the people of the state," said Student Body President Bill Har riss yesterday, commenting on the defeat of the bond issue. Harriss added that "Wre have already begun working on other means to secure the student union and university improvements." Most of the students polled by telephone yesterday afternoon ex pressed similar surprise and dis appointment at the defeat of the bond issue that would have meant $13,700,000 to the Consolidated Uni versity. Bob Hartsell, who supported the bond issues attributed the defeat to two facts. "The people didn't understand the mechanics of fi nancing the bonds and the defeat was also an expression of an tagonism towards Gov. Sanford's food tax." Brenda Smith, who prefers more selective entrance requirements to the building of more dormitories, said "I just hope it was a vote against higher taxes rather than against quality education." She added "I had no idea it would be defeated. It seemed that all the supporters said something but the opposition kept quiet." "Very Disappointed" "I was very disappointed," said Dailey Derr. "I'd like to see the things that were proposed added to the campus." June Todd thought that "It's ironical that the people, of this state should vote down an educa tional measure." Mary Woolman said "Yes, I was surprised. But I'm from out of state. Several state people have told me it was because of the heavy tax passed last spring. "I was very disappointed." "Actually I was very surprised," said Mike Spain. "It seemed like everyone was really behind it. Especially after the big promotion from the torch marathon." Police Support? Further comment on the torch marathon came from Bill Leake. He said that several of his friends who ran in the torch marathon heard a farmer in a country store say he would not vote for anything supported by a torch runner fol lowed by a police car. Nevertheless, Leake reported that he and his fraternity brothers at the Beta house were "surprised and disappointed." Similarly Steve Jones said "Most of the boys in the Chi Phi house are surprised and disap pointed. Six of us carried the torch and 20 went to the marathon." Raise Taxes? John Wilson expressed shock that the bonds were defeated. "I thought it would pass. I believe the people voted against it because they thought it would raise taxes," said Wilson. Bob Northrip remarked "It is a rather unfortunate thing that the state rejected it." eminars Abroad9 Offers Plan For Student s To V isit lli.iirope In Depth By GARRY SUTHERLAND Will you go to Europe . . . and not see it? On most European tours, you see 85 cathedrals, 65 castles, too many ruins and meet only other Americans. Everything is so or ganized, so mass-production-assembly-lined, that you have the feeling, "Let's see, today's Tues day . . . this must be Belgium!" Seminars Abroad, sponsored by the "Y" and consisting of a small group of Carolina students, is completely different. The itinerary, the time spent in each place, everything is planned by the stu dents. "There is special emphasis on meeting Europeans, on encounter ing European minds, on under standing how they live and think," said C. C. Shotts, general secre tary of the YMCA. Carolina stu dents will meet academic and po litical leaders, journalists and stu dents. This is the fifth year of Seminars Abroad, which was started in 1957 as. a year-round program for stu dents wishing to have a profitable summer experience in Europe. Planning and study begin in the fall with weekly seminars in the spring, including a three-day seminar in Washington with the State Department and the embas sies of the countries to be visited. The trip covers eight countries and from 12 to 15 major cities of Western Europe in 68 days. AJt present the plan is to leave New York via jet for Prestwick, Scot land, on June 10. From there the students will go to Edinburgh for two days. Paris is the next stop, where the students will see not only the Paris that tourists know, but also a small village in the He de France; spend a day on the es tate of a wealthy farmer getting an insight into the France of the landed aristocracy; attend a lec ture by a well-known professor at the University of Paris, and meet French students of the university. All this is in addition to the usual sightseeing, shopping, night-clubbing and a day and a half trip through the Loire Valley. In Dublin they will meet Irish students for a brief seminar on Irish literature and politics. That night they will visit the world famous Abbey Players and will tour Dublin and the outlying coun tryside the next day. From Dublin they go for four days to Switzerland, probably Berne and Lucerne, then nine days in Italy, Florence, Elba and Rome. A 3t 1 si i S In Florence they will meet Ma dame Camberti, who is active in international and social projects and, as she describes herself, "one of the three Quakers in Italy." The group will spend four days in Vienna and then go on to Salz berg, noted for its extraordinary scenery. Near Salzburg are the salt mines of Hallein, a popular tourist attraction. There the stu dents will don the heavy white working clothes of the miners be fore going down into the mines. One year the Carolina coeds were so amused at this get-up that they organized a dance routine that brought cheers from the Europeans and cries for encores, holding up the visit to the mine for half an hour! After a day in Heidelburg (world politics permitting), the group will go on to Berlin for five days where they will meet and talk with West German students and political leaders. The trip winds up with three days in Copenhagen, two in 'Am sterdam where they hope to visit the Hague and three more days in London before flying back to New HEADED FOR EUROPE ... are 19 of the Carolina students on York. Those wishing to remain last year's YMCA sponsored Seminars Abroad. Again this year UNC longer and travel independently students will plan the itinerary and time schedule for their own trip, may do so. Communications Lab Photo selves be guided by the facts, rather than other influences." "Will Get Them" "Uutimately," Aycock continued, "we will get these improvements that we need. Until then, we'll do the best we can with makeshift. We must look to the future with good heart and hard work." Howard D. Henry, Graham Me morial director, expressed disap pointment that Tuesday's negative vote indefinitely delays plans for a new student union. Construction of the union, with an undergradu ate library, was one of the UNC projects to be financed had the issue been passed. "I have only dark sentiments today," he declared. "This is a disheartening day for the Union and for the campus. The bond is sue defeat means a sad delay. We're falling behind, you see. We had counted on funds from the Legislature, but the people said no." Praising student promotion of the issue, Henry said that he didn't think "they could have done more than they did." He expressed con fidence that the bond issue defeat was only a temporary setback. "You can be sure that we aren't licked yet. This is just one sock on the jaw; there will be others before we get what we want." Plans Thwarted For Consolidated University President William C. Friday, the defeat was a realization that "we will not be able to do what we had hoped to do in improving our educational opportunities for our young people." He told the Daily Tar Heel Wednesday that he and his asso ciates would meet today "to re view the situation." Friday said he was "very grate ful to Bill Harriss, Larry Mc Devitt and all the other students who did so much to acquaint the people with the bond issue's mean ing to the University." Harriss is president of the stu dent body and chairman of the statewide Students for a Better North Carolina. McDevitt is State Affairs Committee co-chairman and organized the Torch Marathon. "Still Recovering" Director of Development Charles M. Shaffer also was "very much disappointed." He felt that there wasn't too much he could say. "We are still recovering from the shock of not getting it," he ex plained. "I would like to thank Larry McDevitt and Tom White, chair men of the State Affairs Commit tee, who did an excellent job on publicizing the issue. They worked long and hard, and spent a lot of time and effort on this, and I want to express my appreciation, no matter what the outcome was," Shaffer said. As to the future of various Caro lina projects which would have been undertaken with the bond money, Shaffer was indefinite. "It's really too early to say off hand. We may seek funds from private sources. But right now it's just too early. We are still re covering from the shock." Mass Integration Meet Scheduled To Hear Report A mass meeting of the Citizens Committee for "Open" . Movies will be held at St. Joseph's A ME Church tonifht at 8. The executive committee will report to the group on its recent meetings with Chapel Hill theater managers. The Citizens Committee is the group which picketed the Carolina and Varsity theaters for their segregation policies last winter. The Carolina now is desegregated for UNC Negro students only. The Varsity is still completely segre gated, according to Manager Andy Guttieriez.
