A Good Year Almost See Edits, Page Two f Weather Increasing Cloudiness Warmer Offices in Graham Memorial THURSDAY, JANUARY 4, 1962 Complete UPI Wire Servici rjn Ji 1961 Reviewed In 1L CaUiiVLyiL CyMJLiL J nn en News For the University of North Car alina, 1961 was a year of progress and disappointment, happiness and sorrow, like any other year. Like other years too, the year at UNC was reflected in the news columns of the Daily Tar Heel. There was a somber side to the news, of course: basketball scan dals, cyanide deaths, and the los ing end of a state bond election. In other moments, Carolina lost a basketball coach and gained $7 million from Uncle Mot. Theater integration and deferred rush came in and so did John F. Kennedy, the first president to make the scene since FDR came here in 1939. All things considered, 1961 was a newsworthy twelvemonth for UN C students. Here, the staff of the Daily Tar Heel rates the top ten news stories of the year: 1. On October 12 President Ken nedy came to the university to keep a campaign promise that he made Governor Hodges before the presidential election, and to accept an honorary degree on the univer sity's 168th birth. In a speech that was not the major foreign policy address that was expected, Kennedy encourag ed the intellectuals of the country to use their resources for the good of the country. Kennedy told over 30.000 persons in Kenan Stad ium, "Regardless of your field, I urge you to recognize the contri bution which you can make as educated men and women to intel lectual and political leadership in these difficult days." 2) On October 6 two students were found dead in their Cobb Dorm beds. William Henry Harri son Johnson, Jr., 24, a graduate student ' from Statesville and James Michael Barham, 21, a junior from Burlington, were both ruled victims of cyanide poison ing. , . An intensive police investigation accompanied by state-wide spec ulation followed. Yesterday, after months of investigation when the headlines died down, a superior Court solicitor, ruled a tentative "murder-suicide." 1 Exam Schedule By action of the faculty, the time of an examination may not be changed after it has been fixed in the schedule.

Stories 3) For nearly six months bas ketball . dominated the Tar Heel headlines. On January 10 the NCAA handed the UNC basket ball team a one year probation for "excessive entertainment of prospective student athletes." Then again on April 28, Lou Brown, a former Carolina player, was named as a co-conspirator in attempts to bribe college basket ball players. From this many repercussions developed that restricted big time basketball in North Carolina. Rul ings handed down from . the trustees of the consolidated Uni versity put an end to the tradi tional Dixie Classic and has put a strict limitation on out-of-state re cruiting. Also connected with the basket ball scandals was the over-ruling of the Men's Honor Council by Chancellor William B. Aycock. 4. On November 7 voters went to the noils and voted down the 61.7 million bond issue that would have greatly aided higher educa tion in North Carolina. 5. On December 8 the Varsity theater opened its doors to full integration. Partial integration had begun earlier in the fall at the Carolina Theater and was followed on Nov. 28 by the Varsity. Inte gration of the theaters ended a year of intermittent picketing by the Citizens Committee for Open Movies. 6. John Motley Morehead added almost $7 million dollars to the Morehead Scholarship Foundation on September 20. He brought his UNC benefactions to a total of $7 million by dona tion of 50,000 shares of Union Car bide Corporation stock. ' 7. Article 4 of the Interfraternity Council By-Laws was deleted and replaced by a new article to allow deferred rush beginning in the school year 1963-64.

Glenn Jr., on America's first manned orbital flight, it was reported Wednesday. The shot was originally set for Jan. 16, but the schedule has slip ped at least a week.- - - Informed sources said difficulties in an Atlas booster rocket, placed on its launching pad last month, developed "almost overnight" and forced the decision.

' - -Salazar Threatens UN Exit LISBON Prime Minister Antonio De Oliveira Salazar threat ened Wednesday to take Portugal out of the United Nations because of its refusal to halt the Indian invasion of Goa.

J m Statement Issued I I O n 2 Cohb Deaths Superior Court Solicitor Ike An drews yesterday afternoon said the two students in the Oct. 6 cyanide deaths ' case, "died as a Result ol the act of one or both of them." He said tne case would remain open in the event new evidence is ever brought to light. Andrews' statement said that af ter considering and checking all available information on the case Dynamic Reading Demonstration Is Slated Monday A demonstration of reading Dy namics by Greensboro residents and also a film of U.S. Congress men utilizing Reading Dynamics will be held January 8, at 8 p.m., in the Home Building and Loan's Community Room, 123 N. Columbia St. according to Dabney White, Area Manager of Evelyn Wood Reading Dynamics Institutes for the Carolinas. The Monday night demonstrat ors were students last fall at the Reading Dynamics Institute in Greensboro. The Institute teaches a technique valuable to those who do a great deal of reading for research, study or for pure plea sure. Meaning Patterns This new method is designed to train students to note patterns of meaning on a page rather than individual words. At the same time it combats, backtracking and fixa tion that are barriers to good reading speeds. "Speed is not most important," say instructors of reading Dy namics, "but only through speed can you get good understanding." During 12 two and one half hour sessions students are taught to increase their reading speeds from 3 to 10 times. Beginning speeds of these enrolled in the Greens boro Institute last fall ranged from 160 to 600 words per minute. End ing speeds were all over 1,000 words per minute and some ranged as high as 3,000 per minute. The price of this course is $150 for 12 weeks. This includes a manual, 30 hours of class room instruction and special counselling if necessary. Dr. Sukarno O j Stmde "not one item or inference" known to him suggests that any third per son was involved, nor that further investigation is necessary at this time. "On the other hand," the state ment continued, '"numerous known facts and circumstances suggest that these young men (James Michael Barham, 21, junior from Burlington and graduate student William II. Johnson, 24, from Statesville) died as a result of the act of one or both of them. "I don't believe it will serve any purpose to elaborate further," An drews said when asked if he in tended to rule on who killed who. Chapel Hill Police Chief W. D. Blake, who alon with defectives Howard . Pendergraph and John Nesbitt, investigated the case, said he was "fully satisfied," with the ruling and expressed appreciation for Andrews' commendation of his department in conducting the in vestigation, j . Andrews also commended the university administration officials for their help in conducting the in vestigation. New Dorm Plan Given To State A plan aimed at hastening the building of new dormitories at state-supported colleges is expect ed to be presented today to the Advisory Budget Commission by representatives of the State Board of Higher Education. James Wadsworth of the UNC Housing Office said that he knew of no plan to hasten construction of Carolina's three new men's dormi: tories and doubted that such a plan would be feasible. Officials pointed out that this plan would have the effect of per mitting colleges to proceed with dormitory construction almost a year sooner than if they waited for the 1963 General Assembly to act. The plan calls for a "gentle men's agreement" under which the Budget Commission would recom mend to the General Assembly that the state pay half the cost of the buildings. The colleges would pay the other half from dormitory rent als. Only dormitories included in the recently defeated bond issue would be included in the proposal. Infir marv Students in the infirmary yes terday included Ellen Ragan, Mina Haynes, Gutcrinc Lemmond, Sue Woodward, Thomas Harrelson, Jcf fery Dicks, Donald Buffalo, Wil liam Holdfield, James Jarrctt, Catherine Johnson, Peter Kelly, William Taylor, Richard Sherman, Henry Blair and Fred Randcll.
