Grierson, Seldes
To Be Featured
Tomorrow Night
Critic John Seldes and film pro
ducer John Grierson will be the
featured speakers at Monday's
Symposium in Memorial Hall at 8.
The pair will speak on "Revolu
tions in the Arts."
Their talks will include discus
sions not only of art per se, but of
the general cultural revolution
which may be seen in the rapidly
changing cultural tastes of today's
world. Seldes and Grierson are
slated to discuss the whole spect
rum of these changes in art.
Only Foreign Speaker
Grierson, who arrived here Fri
day night, is the only foreign speak
er who will appear during the sym
posium. Grierson is a Scotsman
who founded and led the British
documentary film movement which
caused radical changes in film pro
duction throughout the world. Two
of his films, "Brandy for the Par
son" and "The Brave Don't Cry"
have appeared here as free flicks.
Most of Britain's realistic film
directors have been members of
his film units from one time to
another. Out of this association
has sprung such films as "Satur
day Night and Sunday Morning."
' " " Career Non-Conformist
Gilbert Seldes arriving here to
night by plane, classifies himself
as an entertainment critic and
author and his field of interest
ranges from motion pictures and
televison to the theater and pure
literature.
He has been termed by one critic
as a "career non-conformist in the
world of ideas," and attempts to
speak for the" underdog, the origin
ator and the rebel. He produced
the TV series "Immigrants All
American All" and wrote "The
Stammering Century," a study of
eccentric religions, political and
social groups in the United States.
A Harvard graduate, Seldes is
the first director of the Annen
berg School of Communications at
the University of Pennsylvania.
Pranksters At Wake Forest
Steal Bomb Shelter Signs
Shelter Signs Stolen
WINSTON-SALEM Civil Defense
"shelter" signs were removed from
the doors and walls of four Wake
Forest buildings by either prank
sters or potestes last week.
The signs had been posted for
about two weeks and a campus
wide controversy had followed
their erection. The protest cen
tered around a belief that the signs
indicated a "fear psychosis" and
generally detracted from the ap
pearance of the campus.
The signs, erected as part of a
student-faculty Civil Defense pro
gram, have been replaced - by
splochcs of paint on doors and
windows:
Academic Freedom
URBANA-CHAMPAIGN, 111. The
distribution of 4000 academic free
dom petitions calling for removal
of state and University restrictions
on "controversial speakers" began
last week on the University of Il
linois campus. -
Illini ; editor .Wade Freeman,
chairman of the petition drive,
stated that the campaign had gath
ered support from "both liberal
and conservative groups.
"In essence," he stated, "we're
asking for the removal, of xmtrols
which deny students the right to
hear any opinion deemed "contro
versial."' The petition states in part: "We
favor the alteration" of any Univer
sity policy or state law that serves
the end of regulating or restricting
such 'controversial speakers."

Topic Of Discussion
"The Contemporary Revolution
in Race Relations" will be discus
sed Monday afternoon by a three
man panel that will include NAACP
lawyer, a segregationist newspaper
editor and the chairman of the
advisory committee for the North
Carolina Civil Rights Commission.
The panel, to be moderated by
Dr. Walter Spearman of the school
of journalism, will include Floyd
B. 'McKissick, Jack Kilpatrick, and
he could have drank 18 if the store
had not closed.
"Drinking plenty of water" is

Voting Reward
MORGANTOWN, W. Va. Good
citizenship was rewarded last week
at the University of West Virginia's
elections. The coed dorm and sor
ority with the highest percentage
of students voting received Sunday
night late permission until 1 a.m.
Housing Discrimination
URBANA-CHAMPAIGN, nK The
University of Illinois trustees voted
last week that single undergradu
ate students would not be allowed
to reside in segregated commer
cially operated boarding houses af
ter Sept. 1, 1965.
The action is expected to end all
housing discrimination on the basis
of race, creed and national origin.
The trustees failed to act on. a
similar proposal affecting fraterni
ties and sororities.
Fraternity Troubles
ANN ARBOR, Mich. The Sigma
Nu national placed its University
of Michigan chapter in receivorship
last week, thus withdrawing all
authority for the local to handle its
own affairs.
The action came after the fra
ternity's failure to comply with a
University rule forbidding discrim
ination clauses in fraternity chap
ters. Other reasons cited for the action
were scholastic troubles, local fin
ances, poor morale and a lowered
reputation ; on campus. . .
The local's compliance law
troubles stemmed from the failure
of the national fraternity to elimin
ate$imiitftry clauses. : - .-.

McKissick, the first Negro gradu
ate of the UNC Law School, has
been active in racial matters for
the NAACP both in Durham and
other parts of the South. He was
also a leader in the movement for
total integration of Chapel Hill
theaters .
McKissick was the attorney in
the 1951 suit that resulted in ad
mission of the first Negro under
graduate to UNC. A lawyer in
Durham since 1952, he established
the first Negro law firm in Dur
ham and is currently the vice-presi
dent of the Durham branch of the
NAACP.
Jack Kilpatrick, a self - styled
Whig, became editor of The Rich
mond News Leader in 1950. A
graduate of the University of Mis

der. He is the author of three books,
"The Sovereign States," "The Last
ing South," and "The Smut Ped

reading about the Negro's 'quest
for equality.' It occurs to me he
might begin in his own backyard
simply by cleaning up the trash
and repairing a broken fence."
Smith will not be in unfamiliar
environment when he returns to
the University for his participation
in the Race Panel. A former edi
tor of the Daily Tar Heel, he was

Order of the Grail during his
years on the Carolina campus.
Smith, who believes that "every
man charged with an offense is
entitled- to a defense and the
best defense his lawyer can give;
the more serious the charge, the
more serious the need," was select

with the Symposium will include
24 representatives from 17 differ

throughout the eastern part of the
country.
The students gathering to take
part in this discussion group are
the intellectual leaders of such
schools as Temple, Pembroke, the
University of Pennsylvania, Smith
College, and Swarthmore, as well
as the leading schools in this im

Lawler To Back
Dorm Activities
"Student government must take
a realistic approach to the dormi
tory social problems," Mike Lawler
said yesterday as he commented on
social activities. "Though the all
campus weekend is a fine idea,
because of certain aspects of the
dorm social problem, it will be
necessary to exclude a majority of
undergraduate men, especially
freshmen and sophomores, unless
specific steps are taken to insure
a successful all-campus weekend
with 'all - campus participation,'
said Mike Lawler yesterday.
Lawler, the SP candidate for
vice-president in the run-off Tues
day, speaking on the problems of
dormitory social life, pointed out
that the freshmen and sophomore
classes have few girls in them,
producing an obvious lopsided Tatio.
As a means of creating an at
mosphere where more men and
women of these classes meet each
other, he proposed, more informal
activities between the men's and
women's dorms such as the suc
cessful sock hop program begun at
the Nurses' dorm this year.
"Another way would be to have
more co-recreational intermurals
along the lines of the Grail floral
Jamboree," he said. Lawler also
suggested that the men's and wom
en's orientation programs work
closer together towards a social
advantage.
"I plan to orient the All-Campus
Entertainment Committee more
along the lines of handling campus
entertainment and not just big
name entertainment. I think this
should be done because there are
other agencies,, which because of
their facilities and contacts can
bring us big name entertainment
at a more reasonable cost," Lawler
continued.
He stated that this would include
such ideas as the committee pro
viding a list of all student and non
student combos and offering a ser
vice whereby groups . could . hire
combos in "package" 1 tleais ob
taining: the - individual ccaicert for
less cost.
Opens

address in Graham Memorial
and extend the basic purposes of
the Carolina Symposium. Via this
free discussion of facts and ideas
and exchange, of opinion, the Sym
posium is able to present an op
portunity for intellectual creativity
to an interested, yet heterogeneous
group of students.
Morning Seminars
The representatives meet with
the featured speakers in seminar
from 9-12 Monday through Wednes
day mornings, and they will attend
the scheduled afternoon and eve
ning presentations. .
' The visiting seminarists will be
housed and fed in various dormi
tories, sororities, and fraternities
during their stay at the University.
McDevitt Pushes
For Social Life
The following is a statement on
campus social activities by Larry
McDevitt. UP vice-president can
didate in Tuesday's run-off elec
tion:
"One of the major problems ex
isting on the university campus to
day is in the area of social con
ditions. Although entertainment
and social facilities are provided
mainly through GMAB, these pro
visions do not instill a feeling in
the minds of the majority of stu
dents that they "have a place to
go or something to do on week
ends.
"Bus Lines"
"To aid in correcting this, stu
dent government should work to
the utmost to obtain the basement
of Cobb dorm next year as an all
campus social room. It is my hope
that weekend combos can be pro
vided as well as regular "bus
lines" to carry dates here from
Greensboro and Raleigh. This lat
ter proposal would mainly benefit
male freshmen and sophomores.
The idea of an off-campus hut
for dormitory parties is a proposal
that student government and the
IDC should effect as soon as the
necessary funds may be obtained.
All-Campus Weekend
"The idea of an all-campus week
end has been tossed around for
years. Those which have been
tried have met with little success,
and yet I firmly believe that such
weekends are needed and wanted
at Carolina. -
A project of this nature can be
successful only with the coopera
tion of GMAB, the IFC, the IDC,
the Campus Entertainment Com
mittee, student government, and
last but not least, the students of
this university.
"We have the potential and fin
ancial means through cooperation
to cause these ideas to become a
reality. Student government should
assume the initiative in. securing
such cooperation and establishing
the ail-canapus weekend."

Moviemaker Says He
May 'Sue Tar Heel9
By GARRY BLANCIIARD
Monday night Symposium speak
er John Grierson, 64, said yester
day he thinks he will sue the
Daily Tar Heel "for a snappy half
a million, and settle for fifty bucks
out of court."
The reason, he said is that it
printed a publicity release several
weeks ago which said he had once
been refused a visa to the United
States.
"The implication of the statement
is that I was persona non grata
in this country. It's an interesting
point. I was never refused a visa
in my life."
The statement was typical of
many Grierson made during an
informal luncheon with a score
of UNC students at a downtown
restaurant yesterday afternoon.
His subject matter ranged from
English society ("class-ridden") to
the late architect Frank Lloyd
Wright ("great"). Throughout, he
was pungent, and never moreso
than when he talked about the
motion picture world, where his ef
forts have made him a living
legend.
If someone asked him a question
which he thought was stupid, he
told them so. But not in a nasty
way. More like an impatient pro
fessor dealing with an earnest but
slightly backward pupil.
Words tumbled out of him in
spurts, each spoken in a Scottish
accent diluted by many years spent
in the United States and else
where.
The United States, he said, is
"such a funny country. You pick
the Christmas Island for your atom
ic tests. You pick the Bay of Pigs
to get defeated by one of the
smallest countries in the world.
Of all the lochs in Scotland, natur
ally you pick Holy Loch to send
your atomic submarine to."
Student movements are strong in
countries where there are no jobs
for the newly educated, he said.
"It's a different proposition here.
You're a healthy society. I don't
think you've got a student move
ment of any kind here whatever."
Grierson said he has talked with

Brinton Address
Kicks Off 5-Day
Revolution Study
In Memorial Hall tonight at 8:00
p.m., the Carolina Symposium will
open its five-day series of lectures
and panels with a speech by Dr.
Crane Brinton, the well-known Har
vard historian.
Dr. Brinton, who arrived on cam
pus last night, is speaking on the
historical background of revolu
tions and the evolution of the term
revolution as a philosophical con
cept. His address is entitled "Some
Concepts of Revolution."
Popular Harvard Teacher
After a distinguished academic
career both in the United States
and abroad, Brinton is now one of
Harvard's most popular teachers.
Because of the witty manner in
which Brinton handled philosophy
in the early morning hours, his
8:00 class has become known as
"Breakfast with Brinton."
He is one of the co-authors of
"A History of Civilization," better
known to the General College stu
dents as "BCW," and has written
many other books as well. Some
of his most recent works includa
"The Anatomy of Revolution," "A
History of Western Morals," and
"The Fate of Man," which came
out in 1961.
Misplaced Rationalist
Brinton, who has pictured him
self as a misplaced 18th century
rationalist, has been termed by
one critic as a "child of the En
lightenment." Personally Brinton
considers himself to be a quiet man
who spends his summers in Ver
mont pursuing such non-intellectual
activities as gardening and reading
detective stories.
Monday Dr. Brinton will visit
classes, tour the campus, and en
joy a meal at a sorority house. He
and his wife will leave Carolina
sometime Tuesday for their return
trip home.
