Growth And Education See Edits, Page Two " Weather Fair and warmer Offices in Graham Memorial SUNDAY, MARCH 25, 1962 Complete UPI Wire Service nd Twist Duirims Carolina Vi Milesian visitor A o n site By LOUIS L. ROSENTHAL The cause of "pcople-to-people relationships" was furthered last week, as 12 Russian students visited the UNC campus. The residents of Battle-Vance-Pettigrew dormi tory took tree of te visitorso into teir dorm for three days, and made them feel "like they were our own roomates." Steve Lehrer, dorm president, and John Har rison, vice-president, began a series of meetings" with dorm residents and the coordinators of the visit, Jim Roberts of the Political Science de partment, and Anne Queen, director of the YVVCA, to let BVP house some of the Russians. George Totitbadze, an art teacher, and one of Russia's better young artists; Valentin Kuzmenko, an aeronautical engineer; and Oleg Kockakidze, an architect, were selected for BVP, while nine others went to the PiKA and Beta houses. When the visitors arrived, they were taken to the dormitory to meet other residents. One of the Carolina students had a football, and a game was suggested. Although the Russians had never played the game, they picked it up quickly, and one even threw touchdown passes. Then one of the visitors wanted to play soccer with the football. Although Kockakidze spoke a little English, the students managed to talk by a mixture of sign language and slowly-spoken English. Later Wednesday, the Russians attended a ban quet at the Carolina Inn, a reception at the Green field home, and a meeting at the New Left Club. Thursday, after breakfasting with several dorm residents the students met with Chancellor Aycock in his office. They went to Durham, where Totibadze dis played his talents. At a meeting with the Negro leaders of Dur ham, the artist penned sketches of the leaders, while they were discussing racial relations in the U. S. Later during a tour of the Liggett and Myers Tobacco factory, Totibadze drew portarits of the petty guides.

The Russians gave many of the residents various medals they had received in Russia. Some of the boys in the dorm liked the Russian cigarettes better than their American ones, and all agreed the Rusian Vodka was better than the American. Friday, their last day in North Carolina, the Russians talked with Governor Terry Sanford. They then toured the North Carolina State Col lege School of design, gymnasium, and pool. They met with Chancellor John Caldwell of State College, and saw the State Art Museum. At the request of members of Alpha Delta Pi Sorority, the Russians had dinner at the sorority house. After the meal the girls taught the visitors the "Twist." ''Not five minutes after we had shown them the dance, they had picked it up," said one of the girls. Ross Lavroff, a professional interpreter from New York, accompanied the Russians on the tour of the Eastern coast. He is an American citizen, who defected from Russia several years ago, although "some people Friday night got the impression that I was one Qf the Russians." The three Russians staying at BVP and their hosts went down to the Rathskeller, to drink beer and toast each other to "long life, and everlast ing friendship." The Russians also carved their names on the table, as many Carolina students have done. As a climax to the busy week, the BVP resi dents gave a party in honor of their guests. Vod ka was served, as president Lehrer toasted the visitors, and presented them with cigarette light ers inscribed, "Carolina." The Russians also learned to "limbo" and Totibadze drew portraits of several residents. After the party ended, early because the Rus sians left early Saturday morning, Lehrer com mented, "we wish they could have spent more time with us. We enjoyed having them and wish they can come back. We tried to treat them as old friends, rather than new enemies." Candidates for DTH Editor Offer Statements of Policy Clotfelter And Wrye The Daily Tar Heel should have its own press, said Chuck Wrye and Jim Clotfelter, Student Party en dorsed candidates lor Dill co- eitors, yesterday. With its own press the Tar Heel "would be a professional operation, setting and meeting its own dead lines, with its printshop workers and superintendents,'' ; said Wrye and Clotfelter, "The Tar Heel could then become a .truly 'student-run' ; peratiori,' they. said. : . - - -r Zt . i Down Payment ; : - : : -Wrye: and ; Clotfelter pointed out that the newspaper would return more than .$7,000 to the Student Legislature this spring. , "This money - might be used as a down payment on a press," they. said. "The initial expenditure would not.'Iiavc lo.be too greaL" they said." "Over a period of years the press would save the Tar Heel and the students a considerable amount of money. "The campus would get a better newspaper at less cost," said Wrye and Clotfelter. Stories Coevered The co-editor candidates said a DTH press "would mean that all late stories which are now im possible to cover political conven tions, elections, night speeches could be reported. "The shop workers with a Tar Heel press would be working solely on te DTH, not having to share their time with the Chapel Hill Weekly, as is presently the case," (Continued on page 3) Mike Mathers The following is a statment from Mike Mathers, candidate for editor of the Daily Tar Heel. I have been asked, and rightful ly so, to explain myself. It would be much easier' to do this if specific questions were asked, but since this Is such an imperfect medium I will have to guess the nature of your questions. As far as intergration is con cerned I believe that it is wrong to judge. a-man by the color of his skin. However, I also believe in the private ownershiip; of prop erty. There is actually not much conflict' here. : All public institu tionsthose which are supported by taxes should be on a race free basis. Whether a private instiut tion should be integrated or segre gated is a question faced by. the owner of that institution.' And,, any one ; has the right to peaceably picket.; ' '. " Not Blrcher As it may or may not be readily inferred by the previous statement, I am an economic conservative. I am a strong advocate of the free enterprise system. I am not a John Bircher nor am I a supporter of HUAC. HUAC, while having admirable ends, does much more harm to American Democracy than good. This is easily seen in its ability to alienate university students as well as other people who believe in the freedom of speech. It is im mediately recognized that com munists are a threat to our so ciety and should be squelched at every opportunity. Instead of doing (Continued on page 3) Ernest Stepp The following is a statement by Ernest Stepp, candidate for editor of the Daily Tar Heel. "I do not believe the present Tar Heel is a good campus news paper and I do not believe that any of my opponents have present ed a program to make the DTH a dynamic newspaper. "I have never held a position on the Tar Heel, even though I have done some news and sports work for ;thq paper. I am proud to. say that I claim no part of the present DTH. To work for the DTH, one should be proud of the paper and its policies. If I am elected editor, I will try with the best of my abili ty to make the DTH a paper the student body can be proud of. Strive for Fairness 'T do not believe that the present Tar Heel is fair to all interest groups. If I am elected to the DTH editorship, I will at once strive to make the DTH a fair and responsible newspaper. "I deplore the present leftist edi torial tendencies of the paper, but feel that the paper should be will ing to let all groups have a say so about what goes on in the DTH. This is why I advocate a 15-man editorial staff in my reorganization policies. I do not believe the stu dent body wants to know what I think from 18 editorials a week. News Play "I will try within the best of my ability through my re-organization plans to give the student body a paper filled with local news, some national news, varying edi torial views, campus feature ' stor- (Continued on page 3) Phelps Speaks Out On UNC Athletics The following is a statement by Larry Phelps, independent candi date for president of the Student body. Intercollegiate athletics were in itially conceived as a way of bring ing members of different schools together for fun and exercise. As long as it kept this general charac ter, they served a very useful func tion. This, however, was not the case. Groups other, than, those connected with the school : began to take more than a casual interest. In act, this interest has spread so far today that its University origins have been completely for gotten. . I -believe that intercollegiate ath letics must be brought back to the University. -This naturally i means Alderman Coeds Win Cage Tide Alderman Dormitory retained its basketball title Thursday nieht bv defeating Whitehead Dormitory in the finals of the W.A.A. uitramural tournament, 87-48.

If certain fraterni ties do practice discrimination, it is the duty of student government to eradicate this prehistoric vesti age. I believe that any restriction placed on fraternities should be on an individual basis. If fraternities as an extra-curricular activity must meet an eighty per cent rule then it should follow that all or ganizations; such as the band, the DTH staff; and YACK Wshould be encompassed by the same rule and this is clear ridiculous. , . , ...... Adams Writes For Quarterly Dr. John B. Adams, associate professor in the School of Jour nalism, is the author of a re search article in the current issue of Journalism Quarterly. The article is entitled "The Rela tive Credibility of 20 Unnamed News Sources," and examines news stories in which no individual is identified as the source of the news. Adams found that different kinds of anonymous sources dif fered in the extent to which they wouia tie believed by readers. .Dorcas Elena Henley Chapel Hi ILs Wheless And Allen Discuss Questions Campus Briefs ALL CANDIDATES The expense accounts of all can didates and parties must be turn ed in by 12 noon tomorrow at the G.M.

These questions should not be ; sidetracked but rather should be dealt with directly and pointedly. My answers to these questions carry my personal be lief and personal commitment for action. .. 80 Rule The 80 rule imposed against fraternities is unfair. It is neither logical nor equitable that a group should be severely punished be cause of the failure of an indi vidual in that group. Fraternities on this campus are responsible en- tites and should be treated as such; if a fraternity-affiliate has low grades then . his fraternity should (and I believe fraternities have been doing this) take steps to help and encourage him his help and encouragement need not come as "force play" from the adminis tration. Fraternities are able to! cope with any problems which con- j front them the academic problem. should be theirs for discussion and action. Discriminatory Clauses I am individually opposed to fraternity discrimination clauses for several reasons: first, no per son should be discriminated against because of his color but should al ways be afforded equal rights and opportunities; secondly, many fra ternities are prohibited by na tional charters from even con sidering persons of certain races and colors this is not congruent to our professed belief in individual (fraternity) responsibility. Each fraternity should have and ought to reserve the right to offer (Continued on page 3) Inmaii Allen 80 Ruling - The 80 . academic achievement ruling . imposed by the .adminis tration upon the fraternities at UNC has several different . ramifi cations which must be understood by anyone objectively trying to evaluate its purpose and effec tiveness. Set down as a measure intended to raise the admittedly low academic averages of frater nity men (although these averages are often higher than the all men's average), the rule has caused severe financial loss for some houses and the absence of a fall semester pledge class for other houses. For these reasons I feel the 80 rule is weak and damag ing in practice, although in theory to strengthen academic achieve ment and create a more seriofts academic attitude in the frater nity system it is strong and con structive. As for any action I think Student Government should take in this area, I feel it should support the Interfraternity Coun cil in its dealings with the ad minisraion on htis issue. I also feel that when deferred rush is begun in the year 1963-1964, the 80 ruling should and must be rescinded by the administration and that Student Government should actively begin working for this end, gaining an understanding with the IFC and the administra tion as soon as possible. Athletic Emphasis Although the main purposes of this University are educationally and academically oriented, the policy of Student Government in this area, I feel, should be such that it would emphasize athletic (Continued on page 3) Dorcas Elena Henley of Lin ville was crowned Miss Chapel Hill Friday night after her selec tion from a field of five finalist.

Candidate: Inman Allen By MARTY KRUMLNG When the polls open at 10 a.m. across the cam pus Tuesday morning how many Carolina stu dents will wonder what type of a person Univer sity Party presidential candidate Inman Allen really is. If there was one word needed to summarize Hughe Inman Allen's life it would be leadership. Allen was born in Atlanta,, Georgia, the son of the present mayor of Atlanta. After attending elementary school there, he went on to complete four illustrious years at Westminster High School. At Westminster While at Westminster, Allen served as presi dent of the National Honor Society, president of the Quill and Scroll, business manager of the Annual, officer of the Student Council ,and as sistant editor of the school newspaper. In addi tion Allen was an honor Roll Student and a mem ber of the Key Club. Morehead Scholar Allen's shining four years at Westminster earned him a 'Morehead Scholarship at the Uni versity of North Carolina. Entering Carolina in the fall of 1D5S, Allen soon made his presence known in campus affairs. Rising from vice-president of Graham Memorial his sophomore year, to the presidency of G.M. his junior year, Allen is presently chairman of the Executive Board of Directors. This youn . m rt ovoAiitTVfl hoc airt CArVPfl 5J a member of the Carolina Symposium Committee, YMCA, and Student Legislature Finance Com mittee. In maintaining a working knowledge of all campus affairs, Allen has acted as Student Legislature floor leader and orientation coun selor. In Father's Campaign Not only has Inman Allen had a strong voice in Carolina politics, but he has also gained valu able experience working in his father's successful campaign last year. Since the voting age in Geor gia is 18, Allen appeared on television and cam paigned among the younger generation in an ef fort to gain support for the present mayor. Aside from his devoted love for politics, Allen spends a great deal of time hunting and fishing during the vacations. Although a foot ball player at Westminster, he switched to soc cer when he entered Carolina and only a knee injury sustained during his freshman year pre vented him from continuing. ' Majoring in political science and a member of the SAE fraternity, the UP's presidential can didate plans to enter the University law school in the fall. Summer Work In respect to Inman Allen's summer life, he has spent the last four years in Brevard. Along with Allen, other candidates running on the University Party slate are Larry McDevitt, vice-president; Judy Clark, secretary, and Bill Crisswell, treasurer.
