Seventy Years Of Editorial Freedom Officers in Graham Memorial CHAPEL HILL, NORTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1962 Complete UPI Wire Servic SHI mm Enrollment Jumps To i ; Highest Point In H istory: The largest enrollment in its his tory 9,604 students in regular on campus courses is registered this Fall at UNC, it was announced here yesterday. The residents enrollment here does not include 630 students in "Evening College" classes. Besides the 9,604 regularly enrolled and 630 m Extension Division's nigh classes, the UNC office of Records also reports 174 students in specia education classes; 109 in the Char lotte Graduate Center; 148 interns and residents of North Carolina Memorial Hospital; 39 Fellows in the bchool of Medicine; and 25 hospital technicians.

The move was proposed Monday by Mens Council Chairman Walter Dellinger in a statement to the Daily Tar Heel. It was opposed at least in part, however, by Chairman of -the Wo men's Council .Bev Haynes. .Miss Haynes said she thought the prin- cipie Denind open trials was good, duc mat me proposal itseit needed ijors in the Fall of 1961. inodificatfon'. ' She saitt "she would prefer not to comment further on the proposal until she had ' confer red with Dellinger. Chancellor Aycock also. refused to comment on the proposal itself He wanted to do nothing, he said, that might tend to interfere with jthe 'students' right of free discus , sion of the issue. Dellinger proposed that, all trials be - open to two reporters of the DTH. The reporters would be al lowed to report all proceedings ex cept the names of the defendents and witnesses In the past, trials were not open unless requested by the defendent Only three such trials have been held in the past two years. The rarity of such trials was one "reason for opposition by Women's Attorney General Robin Farr. " Miss Farr said that in her ex perience as. a member of the At torney General's staff, none of the women defendents had wanted an open trial. . ;I think," she said, "that the girls brought up for trial are the important ones concerned in this issue. They now have the right of open trial, and I think this right should be preserved. But I also think defendents should continue to be allowed to refuse this right." -She said that she thought the evi dence connected with some cases might be sufficient to identify the defendents even - if their names were not published. Men's Council members Grant Wheeler, Whitney Durant and Bry an Simpson all supported the open trial proposal. ; Wheeler said the best part of the proposal was that it would give students more information about the workings of the Honor System. -"The system can and should be improved," he said. "Many pro posals have been made in the past, but I think this is the most prac tical one I've heard. There is no question An my mind but that it will work." Simpson said he thought the pro posal good in that it will insure ac curacy about the proceedings of the trials. He said be did not think student arid faculty opinion about the system was the major reason the change should be made. . Durant said he would agree with the ceneral tone of the proposal, if -we; were correctly phrased and worked out. - Yack Pictures : Yack pictures are being made this 'week for freshmen.'

M 1 - ' a Mississippi Students Placid Following Riots At Mississippi By MIKE PUTZEL and FORD ROWAN Student leadership at the Univer sity of Mississippi appeared calm and undisturbed after the riot Sun day in interviews with DTH re porters in Oxford. Most of the offices in the student union were closed Monday morning. and the President was holding a meeting with the Associated Stu dent Body Dance Committee to dis cuss plans for the upcoming Home ing Ball. President Dick Wilson was asked. Q. Mr. Wilson, has the Asso ciated Student Body taken any stand on the present Meredith sit uation, or do you anticipate taking any action now? A. Yes, I issued a statement last week in regard to , our position on this matter. (He gave us a copy to read. One section was a quota tion fom the injunctions against Gov. Ross Barnett. Another part was a list of proposals of ASB ac tivities for the coming year, mostly dances and queens to be crowned.) Q. -This statment doesn't men tion student opinion, rational stu dent debate, or any leadership on the part of the students in connec tion with the present situation. Could you give us any information about that? A. No, I have no comment on that at this time. Q. This statement is about one- third devoted to upcoming activi ties. Do you feel that the primary purpose of your student govern ment is to carry out such activi ties? A. No, actually this is just a minor thing. The primary purpose of the ASB is to represent student opinion to the administration and the state, and to represent the uni versity and the state to the stu dents. Q. Well then isn't the ASB spe cifically designed to express stu dent opinion on issues such as this Meredith problem? A. No, we feel that this matter is solely in the hands of state authorities, and that it is strictly a political question, and I think that's all I have to say. After this interview reporters talked to Mississippian Editor Miss Sidna Brewer. Q. Miss Brewer, what has the Mississippian said about the pres ent Meredith situation? A. Have you seen the last few issues? It's all in there. Q. Yes, we saw the issues, but we didn't see much editorial com ment, advice, or criticism. A. Well, did you read this morn ing's? Q. Yes, there was an edit by you on the riot bringing shame to the university. But, have you editoria lized before about Barnett's action or the integration topic? A.-No. Q. Is there any censorship oi the newspaper? A- Ncr, I can say anything want to. (The head of the Journa lism school told us that pressure sometimes was "unsuccessfully, brought to bear to keep the paper ur line. ) Why haven't the studant leaders offered leadership to the students? ' A. Well, we all discussed it and decided "that it was best that we not Say aaything. Photo by Wayne King Students Survey Remnants of Sunday Night's Damage Football Forgotten On Ole Miss Campus OXFORD, Miss. (UPD Federal marshals, backed by 15,000 troops, saw Negro James Meredith safely through his second day of classes Tuesday, but many, students were absent and the University of Mis sissippi appeared to be but a shell of its former self. Armed sentries stood guard on each of the buildings Meredith en tered and Army patrols made per iodic sweeps of the campus, still littered with tear gas shells and other debris from Sunday night's riot. Student social activities were at a standstill, and even , this week end's homecoming football game with Houston usually a big event on the "Ole Miss" campus was all but forgotten in the current crisis. The Army loosened its ' grip a bit on both the school and the town of .Oxford, but the olive-drab troops and their vehicles were still very much in evidence at every turn. Townsfolks and students alike were sullen and openly sarcastic over the restrictions placed on their movements over the past two days. The town square was blocked off Monday and cars were stopped at random and searched. "I'll see you for lunch, God and the Army permitting," one busi nessman called to a colleague Tues day morning. H e was standing within easy hearing distance of soldiers guarding the downtown area. "If it took 15,000 men to get Meredith in here he won't stay by himself, that's for sure," one an noyed student commented. He said he and other students resented the way they were stopped, questioned, and often searched by troops. Registrar Robert B. Ellis said a great many" of the students have Makeup Of Crowd Changed During Nine-Hour Riots Rioting began at the University of Mississippi when the crowd seemed to be made up almost en tirely of Ole Miss students, accord ing to DTH reporters who returned from the scene yesterday. Most agreed, however, that the complexion of the crowd changed during the course of the 9-hour riot. By about 2 a.m. Monday morning, "about half or more" of the rioters appeared to be non- students, they said. The actual rioting they reported, appeared to have been carried on by a minority of the crowd, while most of the crowd hung in the background and "stayed out of the way The number of persons who ac tually hurled- bricks, firebrands or gasoline-filled bottles was virtually impossible to estimate, they, said Most agreed that the majority of the destruction was caused by !not more than half" of the crowd- DTH managing editor Wayne King said he felt the actual number was less than half. He set his estimate, at "from SO to 40 per cent" nf the crowd about 10 p.m The. rest milled- about in the background, he said. . " Later in the night, he reunited. the percentage increased zs more and more pecple who appeared tb left, but that he expected them back when the situation quiets down. He said the students prob ably would not be penalized for the classes they missed. Few classes met full time Tues day. Students who stayed on cam pus said there were many absen tees and . many of the professors dismissed their students after cal ting the nil. ..- - - a senior wno attended a science class with Meredith this morning said the session was quiet, "almost normal." The student said Meredith was already seated when he arrived for class. Tht; seats on either side of Meredith were empty, he said, but another male student was sitting directly in front of the 29-year-old Army veteran. "Nobody spoke to him and he didn't say anything to any of us," the student said. The senior said the professor made no direct mention of Mere dith's presence but read to the .students a part of a federal injunc tion advising them they would face possible contempt charges if they took any action against the Negro. Students entering the Lyceum Building sometimes stopped to! examine the bullet holes left in the columns and the front door by Sunday night's riot. There were other scars from the disorder including drops of dried blood on the sidewalk in front of the building and smashed marble benches that rioters broke up to hurl at tie marshals. The last major resistance to ad mission of Meredith was put down Monday afternoon by bayonet wielding troops, but there were a few additional incidents during the night. be non-students arrived to join in the battle. Besides students from Ole Miss itself, DTH reporters said they talked with students who said they were from Mississippi State and Northwestern Mississippi Junior College at the scene. Others reported seeing at least . . , tr.l.tn one car witn - ArKansas vuiun teers" scrawled on the side. Other cars bore inscriptions identifying the occupants as being from Ala bama and Louisiana. Many of the rioters appeared to be of high school age, or younger, the reporters said.

Gen. Walker Will Get Psychiatric Test In Hospital SPRINGFIELD, Mo. UPI Form- er Army Maj. Gen. Edwin Walker, arrested for his part in the Univer sity of Mississippi integration cri sis was ordered Tuesday to under go psychiatric examination at the U.S. hospital for federal prisoners. U.S. Atty. . Russell Millin said a federal judge in Missisippi ordered Walker to undergo . the examina tion. Millin said the question of bail for Walker is now immaterial. Walker, arrested Monday at Ox ford, Miss., was charged with re bellion, insurrection and seditious conspiracy" for his part in the riots at the university and flown to the hospital here Monday night. Walker's attorney, Clyde Watts of Oklahoma City, himself a re tired Army general, indicated he would appeal the committment rul ing, which was handed down .Tues day; by. U. S. Dist.,. Judge Claude Clayton of the northern district of Mississippi. Watts told Millin he already had the $100,000 bond to free Western. district, said the committment order permitted the hospital to keep Walker "for such reasonable time as the mediacl center may feel it necessary to complete the psychiatric study." Millin said any appeal of the Mississippi ruling could be handled by the U.S. district court here. Walker, who faces up to 39 years in prison and fines totaling $40,000 if convicted on all counts, spent a quiet night at the federal hospital here the same hospital which last month was making plans to receive convicted Soviet spy Dr. Robert Soblin. Soblin commit ted suicide in London before he could be returned to the United States. Hospital Warden Dr. Russell O. Settle said Walker was in good physical condition and "appeared "emotionally calm" Tuesday. The hospital specializes in psychiatric treatment of federal prisoners. Walker, who in 1957 commanded federal troops assigned to keep or der during the Little Rock, Ark., integration crisis, said last week he was on the "wrong" side then but is on the "right" side now.

Six-Orbit Of S chirr For This CAPE CANAVERAL (UPI) 'A break in threatening weather Tues day improved chances for launch ing Astronaut Walter Schirra on a six-orbit space flight Wednesday. The shot was to be viewed by a two-continent television audience that might include viewers behind the Iron Curtain. With the. weather looking favor able, the Atlas rocket fueled, and last minute preparations moving smoothly ahead, Project Mercury officials reported: "Things look good for a launch Wednesday morning' At about the same time, United States officials in Washington ap pealed to Russia not to conduct any nuclear tests Wednesday which might jeopardize Schirra's flight. The appeal was made by the State Department to the Soviet Embassy. In a last minute plan change, officials expanded the period dur ing wnicn scnirra couia De launcnea from two hours to three hours. Schirra's launching on his plan ned six-orbit flight could come any time between 7 and 10 a.m. EST. Up to Tuesday, officials had plan ned to postpone the launch if it did not come off before 9 a.m. EST. If Schirra's launch just happens to be timed right, officials said, television viewers in Europe and possibly Communist bloc countries could see him hurtle into space in his Sigma 7 space cralt on live I television relayed by the Telstar satellite. But of fiials emphasized that they would not delay his launch to coin cide with the pass of Telstar to enable live transmission. If the launch does not come when the Telstar is in position, tapes will be beamed to Europe on a later pass space agency officials . said. At a final .briefing here, space agency officials also: r Disclosed that the 39-year-old Navy commander would slowly tumble his capsule end over end for a while - on his 160,000-mile flight to see if he suffered any motion sickness or similar upset. Confirmed an earlier UPI re- Legislature Can Legalize Summer Board Several student government of ficials were asked their opinions in interviews yesterday concerning the legality of the summer school student government and a possible means of rectifying the presently muddled situation. Inman Allen, President of the Student Body, said that he feels there is no doubt that the summer school board was invalid, that this is a very unfortunate situation and not one to be considered lightly, but that a retroactive approval by the Student Legislature at this time is a legal and constitutional means of correcting the error. He is strongly in favor of appro val at this time. Allen also said that all the Legislators will know how he feels before a vote is taken Thursday night. "The basic ques tion to be considered," said Allen, "is whether justice was done by the summer school Honor Councils." Larry McDevitt, Minority Floor Leader of Student Legislature (UP), said that according to the law, the summer school governing body was . invalid, but that the Honor Council was as effective and just as any other council has been regardless of the technicality which rendered it invalid. McDevitt said that this is an important matter and not to be overlooked, but that he feels justice was done by the summer council. He is now in favor of retroactive approval of the coun cil. Rufus Edminston, Majority Floor Leader (SP), said that the summer school student government has never been an effective organiza tion and that it has never done anything, but that at present, there is little choice but to approve the invalid council . cf . this summer. Charles Cooper, Chairman of the Judicial Committee of Student Legislature (SP), said that he feels the present situation of having an invalid summer school student gov ernment is "absurd, deplorable, and farsicaL" He added that al though he is opposed to the prin ciple of retroactive approval, "Not to do so at this time would be purely obstructionar." ' The question of what should be done now to either legalize last summer's Student Government (Ccatisued 6a Pae 3) Fligh a Is Mornin port that America's next manned space effort will be a day-long, 18-orbit mission early next year if Schirra's flight goes as planned. Said that there will be less radio chit-chat between the astro naut and ground control stations around the world on this flight than on previous ones. Announced that Schirra would take with him the same kind cf tubed food and candy that Astro naut Scott Carpenter ate on his three-orbit flight May 24. Until early Tuesday, it appeared doubtful that the flight would be made Wednesday because of tropi cal storm Daisy s capers in an Atlantic Ocean recovery area. But the space agency, which stationed weathermen around the globe for this flight, said that Daisy made an abrupt turn which cleared the emergency landing areas. 1 m It Ca mpus 1 nets WOMEN'S COUNCIL Bev Hanes, chairman Women's Council announced a vacancy on the council from the towr woman's district.
