UNC officials have Hedgepeth Warns Against Student Use Of 6Pep Pills' By BOB SAMSOT The use of so called "pep pills" as an aid to study drew a sharp warning yesterday from a Univer sity physician. - Dr:: E. McG. ; Hedgepeth, di rector of the student, infirmary, said that the use of such simul ants as dexedrine and escretol is very dangerous, and ean seriously impair the health of the person who takes them. He said that if common sense were not enough to prevent stu dents from the use of such drugs, that the non-prescribed use of them is a federal offense punish able by the same penalty as for taking any drug, such as mor phine or heroin, illicitly. He said the use of these drugs not only does not help the students pre pare for an exam, but frequently wakes up and tenses a person up so much that it freezes what knowledge he may have had al ready. Dean E. A. Brecht of the Uni versity's Pharmacy school was in agreement with Dr. Hedgpeth in his stand against the pep drugs. He also cautioned against the use of these stimulants, cit ing a case from his undergradu ate days when the drugs first came out. At that time, a pre scription was not needed to pro cure the drugs, and students took them quite freely. Soon it was observed, however, that the drugs caused a severe inflammation of the optic nerve, and permanent blindness resulted in many cases. Brecht said that the drugs had lost none of their potency and that the same effects might re sult now. He - noted that "the U. S. has the strictest drug laws of any country in the world, and that this is so for our own pro tection. "Forced study habits," he con tinued, "are not . conducive to better study, but retard progress rather than advance it." Charles Henderson, Dean of Student Affairs, said that not only e ivi OXFORD, Miss.

He said they could, and in some cases do, lead to addic tion. William Long, Dean of Men, dubbed "pep pills" a "serious problem which is complicated by the ignorance most people have of the harmful effects brought about by these drugs." He said that the best way to combat this Committee To Study GC Adviser System Plans for an evaluation of the General College Adviser System have been announced by Aca demic Affairs Committee Chair man Fred Wedler. A questionnaire already .dis tributed to forty members of the faculty and administration who have served as General College advisers has shown that the ad viser must process so much pap er that he is no. longer able to counsel his students properly. The committee has recommend ed that the student register him-. self. He would obtain a form, se lect his own courses with the advise of other faculty members and his adviser, have the form approved by his adviser, and then take the form to Central Records. The student could also go through Drop-Add on his own. Many faculty members felt that the student should develop a more responsible and independent atti tude about his academic career. In this way the General Col lege Adviser would be able to aid those who seek his advice. . Wedler plans to have students the grounds. The U.S. marshals accompany ing the 29-year-old Negro tried to shoulder their way past the line of blue-clad patrolmen, but were promptly shoved back. Johnson later told newsmen that he had advised federal officers before the shoving started that "any violence would be on the head of Meredith and the federal government and we will meet force with force."

The com mittee produced the first "A" Section pamphlet, seated students on five faculty committees, and traveled to leading Negro high schools to inform graduates of the opportunities at UNC. These projects will be expanded by the present committee: The committte now has twelve members.

As he was flicking the shutter here yesterday for students pos ing for annual photos, Cheek said, "This is my thirteenth year of taking pictures forth?. Yackety Yack. I photographed the first graduating class in the medical school. "Since then, I've seen that school and the Dental School grow up.

There. are " no problems 'other than that. The 'Students have always been very co-operative. J "Our procedure has changed very little over the years. Some students don't like to smile, so now we don't argue with them. We used to try to get them to smile because it looks so much better. "Of course, some people have braces or widely-spaced teeth and you can't ask them to. So now we don't ask them. About half, of them do.". Cheek and his wife, Audrey, work as a team. "She handles proofs and decides with the stu dents which ones will go in the Yack," he said. "You know, some people have a hard time decid ing which one they like." Mr. and Mrs. Cheek live at Kure Beach, N. C, where he has been active in local politics. He was mayor of Kure Beach in 1959 61 and is now the community's finance officer. When asked if he had any grievances, Cheek said, "I don't really have any. The students are polite and cooperative in every respect. . However, the general practice that most students fol low is to wait until Thursday or Friday to come down for their pictures. This puts a strain on the photographers and takes more time for the students who have to stand in line." He shrugged his shoulders. "But I guess it will always be like that." . Cheek said that he would like to see more space given for the photographs to be taken if and (Continued on Page 3) be held Thursday.

By Hubert Hawkins A leftist woman delegate in the Japanese Diet assailed American students for political apathy at a Y-sponsored dinner for UNC stu dent leaders and five visiting Jap anese lady politicians Tuesday at the Carolina Inn. Student body president Inman Allen and various student govern ment officials were present along with leaders from several camp us political organizations. In a question period after the meal and program, Mrs. Yurike Motojima of the extreme Demo crat Socialist Party took the op portunity to make a political speech, saying that students should demonstrate for their ideals. Several campus leaders insist ed that students do demonstrate, citing the Chapel Hill pickets and the HUAC demonstrations in San Francisco. "Demonstration," however, has a specialized mean ing in Japan, implying violence and political overthrow. The resultant misunderstanding was further complicated when a student compared the NSA of the United States to Japan's extreme student demonstrationist group, the Zen Gaku Ren. "We demonstrate to intimidate the other parties, Mrs. Motojima had said privately. "Perhaps you have fewer criti cal issues," the middle-aged Japanese lady admitted, "but do Tension the same grounds the governor did," Johnson replied, "I refuse because of imminent breach, of peace," he added. Tries Serving Citation At this point U.S. Justice De partment attorney John Doar stepped forward and reminded Johnson that Meredith's admis sion bad been ordered by federal courts, and simultaneously tried to serve Johnson with a con tempt citation directed against the governor. - Johnson refused the citation, and McShane restated with more cmDhasis his request that Mere dith be permitted to pass. An edge came to the lieutenant governor's voice and- he.snapped back: . " - Slightly To Be W Students V V; E ....TtM you not consider Atomic testing critical?" At the table the delegates an swered questions on the Japanese government, violently split with factions. One of the interpreters, Mrs. Rita Kamodo, confided that deep political tension has prevailed in the group during their tour of the U. S. which lasts through October. "A main purpose of the trip is to bring them (the ladies) closer together," said Mrs. Ruth Gould of the Washington Governmental Affairs Institute, a non-partisan agency which sponsors the tour. "Perhaps this personal contact will relieve some of the friction." Mrs. Sugi Yamamoto, M.D., Ph.D., the delegation's spokesman-leader, commenting on Jap anese women's participation in politics, said the two houses of the Diet have about the same pro portion of women as the U. S. Congress. "Before we gained the suffrage seventeen years ago, women were treated as children, so far as gov ernment was concerned. Now the danger is prematurity that they may be misled by the wrong ideologies or political leaders." Questioned as to why more women vote in Japan than men, the interpreter recalled, "Women simply outnumber men. Perhaps you remember, there was a war "We are not going to let him in. You want to make a big show for the whole country to see. We have a duty to perform." McShane then walked slowly down the line, repeatedly trying to force his way between the burly highway patrolmen who refused to budge. Meredith walked one step be hind McShane, a large squarely built man, while he was trying to find a hole in the line. After about five minutes of this pushing and shoving, Meredith and the marshals got back into the car and Meredith was taken back to the airport and again boarded his plane. It was be lieved be returned to New Orleans. Err o 71 llgJDL warmer, no rain. Complete UP I Wire Servicr atehedl GOP Unable To Beef Up Resolution WASHINGTON (UPD The House Wednesday overwhelming ly approved President Kennedy's fight - if - we - must resolution on Cuba and the State Department announced that a close watch will be kept on Soviet construction of a "fishing post" in Havana Har bor. Before sending the joint resolu tion to the White House, the House beat down a major Re publican effort to "strengthen" the Senate-passed proposal by de claring the Soviet military build up on Cuba to be a clear viola tion of the Monroe Doctrine. GOP Raps President Most of the House debate fea tured Republican criticism of Kennedy's handling of the whole Cuban problem. Chairman Thomas E. Morgan, D Pa., of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, replied to the complaints that "the rulers oi the Soviet Union will get the message." When Republicans tried to toughen the resolution, adminis tration supporters said it was not needed. In its final form, the resolution amounted to congressional cp- proval'o any steps Kennexiy might take should the Soviet arms buildup in Cuba reach ag gressive or offensive proportions. The Republicans sought word age which would declare Russian aid to Cuba a clear violation of the Monroe Doctrine, and give congressional support to any ac tion the President might take to uphold the doctrine. Watching Cuban Port The State Department, mean while, said construction of the Cuban port would be kept under surveillance "to determine wheth er and to what extent it may af fect our national security." The statement apparently was in tended as a warning to the Soviet and Cuban governments not to turn the port into a military base or a facility for espionage. There were these related developments: Reports by Havana Radio and the Soviet news agency Tass in dicated the "fishing port" will be capable of serving 130 vessels, will have the latest scientific equipment, and be capable of loading and unloading "all types of equipment" Undersecretary of State George W. Ball said the port pro ject appeared to be another in stance of the Soviet government "moving in to establish itself and to make Cuba serve its own in terest." Rep. Clement J. Zablocki, R Wis., introduced, as a companion to the Cuban resolution, a meas ure which would endorse any ac tion the President might deem necessary in the Berlin crisis. The vote on final passage was 334 to 7 after the Republican substitute with sterner language was defeated 251-140. The seven opposition votes on the final ver sion were cast by Republicans who thought tougher wording was needed. Those voting no were Reps. Bruce Alger, Tex., William S. Broomfeld, Mich., Thomas B. Curtis, Mo., August E. Johan sen, Mich., John R. Pillion, N. Y., John H. Ray, N. Y., and James B. Utt, Calif.
