See Edits, Page Two Officer in Graham Memorial WEDNESDAY, MARCH 14, 1962 Complete UPI Wire Service ennett Says Odd F Flat nfTii id ,mm - form Combinations Are Par t Of Planning White Bricks Cannot Be Used On UNC Buildings Any More By JOE HODGES J. S. Eennctt, University Direct or cf Operations, yesterday offer ed some explanation for the clash of brick colors in some buildings on campus . now under construc tion. The annex of Hill Hall, Music Building, in red brick as con trasted to the yellow brick of the present building, has caused quite a bit of consternation from some campus factions. - In a recent article in the DTH, the following opinion was express ed concerning the minds of . the designers: "Esthetically speaking, their minds must be a howling wilder ness." The different type of brick is not the result of the absences of planning, but is part of an over all positive plan to beautify the campus. "We've had some atro cious architecture around here in the last 50 years, and the plan ning committee is now taking ac tion to correct it and see that future structures . are properly planned and built," Mr. Bennett said. . He' explained that many of the light colored brick buildings on ' campus were built with little architectural .refinement and do not. meet, the required construc tion standards which, have since been established by the state. North Carolina state laws re quire that all brick used in state institutions be obtained in this state. Since there is no light col ored clay in the state, university buildings must now be construct ed of red brick. Light-colored brick buildings, in most cases, are not fireproof and all present campus construction according to state rules must be fireproof. The non-fireproof build ings will eventually be replaced with red brick fireproof buildings in the colonial architectural style, such as is evidenced in the build ing between South Building and the Library and in most of the existing dorms. Old East, Old West, and South have already been rebuilt with-, in their original walls and now meet state specifications. Because of their historic significance, these buildings will be preserved in this form. The buildings that were built in the 1920's however have no historical significance, nor architectural beauty that would justify preserving any part of them.

Brownie Lee, : Steve Lindell, Tim Keee, Jim Wagner Lann Malebky, Ron South- for instance, is not fireproof and contains five different major architectural styles. Carr, built according to the wishes of its donor, is likewise a hodgepodge of architectural efforts. B e c a u s e of fund limitations, however," many of these buildings will probably remain in use for many years. Some, like Caldwell, are considered firetraps and have been equipped with .large inde pendent lire escapes in order to allow their continued use in re lative safety. - Hill Hall is not the first building to have an annex in- a - different color brick.. Hopefully it will someday be converted to all red brick with colonial styling simi lar to Peabody Hall "which has been almost surrounded by this new styling and has only one rear corner of yellow brick exposed. Red brick fronts are also pro posed for Swain and Davie. When asked about future plans for university building, Mr. Ben nett explained the. grouping of buildings of different fields of study to make them more con vienent to students who will be mainly concerned with that one subject area. Similar to the med ical complex, a science complex will center around Wilson with the ne wBotany building at its side and. the new Geology-Geography building behind it. The arts, including music and drama will most probably be centered in the area between Hill Hali and Ackland, where a theater may be built. A colisieum type of building, complete with classrooms and of fices in the basement, is being considered for the area, now oc cupied by the Ram Varsity park ing lot. "Memorial Hall and Wool len Gym have always been hand icapped as far as size is concern ed," Bennett said. This new building, which would probably have to be subsidized by the Fed eral government, would house both Air Force and Navy ROTC units. This same planning committee which is also concerned with the parking problem (over 30 per cent of students have cars) has the additional job of : landscape planning. "We always try to keep enough trees in our plan ning to keep the campus natural ly beautiful," Mr. Bennett added. It looks as if student sneed not be dismayed by temporary archi tectural incongruities; they're all . part of a f ar-r eaching, well thought-out plan.

This is the question of the resi dents of Ruffin Dorm, who woke up last Thursday morning and read in the Daily Tar Heel that the ad ministration planned to make Ruf fin one of the all freshman dorms. Their evicton came as a shock, Mrs. Kennedy Wows Indians NEW DELHI ( UPI ) Jacqueline Kennedy, a "knockout" in white satin, dined with Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru Tuesday night afte a day that saw her hand out lollipops at a children's hospital and feed bamboo shoots to Neh ru's pet pandas. The First Lady was Nehru's guest at a small formal dinner for 26 on the first official day of her visit one supposed to be quiet but which proved crowded and colorful. Her costume changes ranged from bright kelly green linen with hairbow to a full-length evening gown, cut low in back with two inch wide shoulder straps, her hair-in banks over her forehead and a diamond broach above. fen!

J "The students spontaneously call-1 ed a -meeting," said Roger' Asher, chairman of the "Save Ruffin Com mittee," and "it wasn't something a few of us started," he added. The first thing the group did was to see Bill Long, Assistant Dean of Student Affairs .Thursday after noon. That night the committee was officially started with "a great number of students volunteering their help." The committee is following the advice of - Long who said they should 'submit a proposition of their grievances along with an alterna tive plan. Petition Of Displeasure The group is also circulating a petition stating that the residents are displeased with the adminis tration's handling of their case and that they do not wish to be evict ed. One of their grievances was the abruptness of the announcement Said Barry Craig, a member of the committee, "a lot of friend ships have been formed here. We are a homeseneous group . . .

Another Committee, member, Gerry Good, pointed out that Ruf fin had won the dorm ; participa tion trophy last year and was "wel on the way to winning it again this year. - ' Strong's Reasons Rebuffed The committee was in genera agreement as to their disapprova of the arguments which Assistant in Student Affairs George Strong presented to them regarding the selection of Ruffin as a freshman dorm. Another point which the Commit tee "brought up was the fact tha they as freshman wouldn't have wanted to be segregated from the upper classmen. They also said that this year's freshmen in Ruf fin were "100 in agreement that they were glad we (upper class men) were here." In summing up the Committee's views on the subject, Barry Craig said "we feel that the choice of our dorm as an all freshman dorm without our notification is inconsistant with the University's principles of student participation in student affairs."

The conference, financed and sponsored by national Sigma Nu fraternity and its local chapter, will bring about 25 UNC faculty members and 65 UNC fraternity members face to face to consider many of the problems of fraternity life. Starting at 1 . p.m. in Peabody Hall, the conference will be divid ed into six groups which will go to six different fraternity houses to hold their discussions. At 6 p.m. all members will hear the Nation al Executive Secretary of Sigma Nu, Mr. Richard Fletcher as he addresses the banquet in the Caro lina Inn Ballroom. The office of Student Affairs will compile the results of the con ferencer As an outline for the meeting they have presented the three general topics of The Frater nity . in Scholarship, The Frater- in Discipline, and The Fraternity in Finances. Dean Long said that the conference should offer more "face to face consultation between fraternity and faculty members than there . has been in a long time." . . U.S. Cautious Toward N-Ban, Kennedy Says WASHINGTON (UPI) Presi dent Kennedy told Democratic con gressional leaders Tuesday that the United States will take a "re alistic" approach to a nuclear test ban and general disarmament at the Geneva conference opening Wednesday. The leaders quoted the Presi dent as saying that this country would try to "secure agreement on a complete disarmament pro gram under effective international control and, to this end, t0 seek the widest area of agreement at the earliest possible date.". Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield said if any agreements are reached, the United States is ready to put such disarmament measures into effect immediately. "We believe this to be a re alistic approach to the need for a beginning to the end of the nu clear arms race and we hope it is an approach that will be shared by all the nations at the confer ence," Mansfield said in a state ment issued after the weekly leg islative meeting at the White House. The statement appeared to be a new U. S. call for Russia to fore go any effort to turn the 17-na-tion disarmament conference into a propaganda circus. Tha Presi dent and other U. S. officials have issued similar demands in recent days. The latest American statement came as Western officials in Ge neva reported that Russia ap peared ready to attempt i propa ganda coup. Their skepticism ws reinforced by Soviet publication of nuclear proposals without advance notice to the United States or Brit ain. In his statement, Mansfield said the President "made clear the de termination of our negotiators to seek realistic avenues of agree ment that will permit the world to move -forward from this time of j nuclearperil to a more secure and J proauiJiUo-.iu.LUic. Actiwfcy9 EmBli DEAN CARMICHAEL , Police Search Saigon Home Of UNC Dean The apartments of two UNC pro fessors teaching in South Viet Nam were searched Saturday morning by . a squad of at-least 30 Viet namese police, government agents and soldiers. The apartment of a third Amer ican professor, Dr. Stanley Millot of Dobbs Ferry, N. Y., was also searched. The UNC professors, Dr. Kather ine Carmichael, Dean of Women at Carolina and Dr. Frank Dur ham are in Viet Nam to teach for one year under , the Smith-Mundt Act. i ; Dr. Durham, who has taught English literature at Saigon Uni versity since August, said he "look ed out the window and saw the driveways - around the house swarming with men, most of them in uniform. They apparently were searching houses all up and down the block." He said that he and his wife "saw them checking around Miss Carmichael's apartment, wha lives alone, and called out to her to make sure she was all right. She said she was." Polite Police Dr. Durham said that the police "were polite, but they searched very thoroughly . . . They said at first they were looking for a thief, then one said they were looking for a prisoner." Four policemen were posted out side the apartment building follow ing the raid. Said Durham: "I believe we are under very close surveillance. We haven't pro tested fomally or anything," he added, "as far as I know, we're not suspected of anything." An investigation of the incident was begun by the U. S. embassy There was no official comment however. The three pofessors all live in the same apartment building. Two Vietnamese men, an adult and 17-year-old, live with Dr. Millet and were arrested by the police. The incident is probably related to the Feb. 27 bombing of the pres idential palace by two rebel fight er planes. The apartments search ed are only a few blocks from the palace and the planes flew directly ove them during the attack. None of the Americans were ar rested. Infirmary Those in the infirmary yester day included Betty Smith, Phyllis Bowers, Margaret Parrish. Judy Fuller, Judith Harlow, Serena Parks, Lindell Upp, Sandra Straw hum, Suzanna Johnson, Roy Pons, Richard Hayes, Richard Brand. Travis Glover, Lucius Moore, John Thuss, Paul Casey, James Estridge, John Jones, Norman Owens, Brenda Pryor, Frank Weaver, James Ness, Robert Dug gan, James Gober, Robert San darg, and James Cooke. . o Party Pushes Degree In Fine Arts The Student Party aimed at great er dormitory participation in cam pus government and more activities for dorm students in their 20-plnk platform adopted at a party meet ing Monday night. Communication between the dif ferent areas of the campus also was stressed as the party proposed the expansion of the communica tions committee and the improve ment of dormitory newspapers. In academic affairs, the platform promised action toward securing a well-known literary figure in resi dence, work toward the establish ment of a fine arts degree at UNC, an dthe publication of a booklet describing courses from the student's point of view. Dorm Libraries The establishment of libraries of basic texts in the dorms and of a central quiz file under the control of the communications committee, and the revision of the academic affairs committee so that mem bership would be limited to stu dents o foutstanding scholarships were also called for. The SP pledged active support of the National Student Association and promised more publication of NSA activities and an effort to make NSA more representative of American students. Berlin Talks Are Fruitless At Conference GENEVA (UPI) Secretary of State Dean Rusk and Soviet For eign Minister Andrei Gromyko met Tuesday in the third straight day of apparently fruitless talks on Ber lin. Gromyko indicated later the Russians have stiffened their stand on the isolated city. Rusk and Gromyko conferred in "businesslike" manner for three hours. But indications were the talks failed to reduce East-West differences on Berlin and other key issues before the opening Wednes day of the 17-nation Geneva dis armament conference. Gromyko told newsmen after the lengthy discussion that Moscow's proposal for a broad settlement based on a German peace treaty would be preferable, by far to an isloated accord on Berlin. Gromyko's stress on this point appeared to foreshadow a new Soviet attempt to frustrate U. S. and British desires for a limited accord on Berlin and indicated a Russion campaign for a broad settlement that would recognize the sovereignty of Communist East Germany. "An agreed solution baed on a peace treaty would be the best solution," Gromyko said. Harry Golden To See Performance Of Play The Playmakers have scheduled two holdover performances of "Only In America" for Monday and Tuesday nights due to the "best pre-opening ticket sales of the season." Harry Golden, editor of the Caro lina Israelite and author of the best-seller from which the script was adapted will view the product ion but has not disclosed which evening he will attend. "There's nothing quite so fright ening as seeing yourself portrayed on the stage," Golden has remark ed. The action of "Only In America" is set in Golden's Charlotte home and in the State Capitol at Raleidi. Kai Jurgensen, an instructor in the Dramatic Art Dept who will por tray Golden, recently spent several days with Golden preparing for the role.
