C. He chuckled, "and now I'm president of the 'Y'." Gil went on to explain that he had never really participated in any school activities until he join ed the YMCA as a freshman. He joined the Public Affairs committee, and his sophomore year became chairman of the com mittee. His junior year he was elected vice-prsident of the Y and this year, president. As to why he joined the 'Y he said, "People laugh when you say this, but I felt an obligation to participate in the school communi ty. "Since I've joined the 'Y', it's incited my desire to meet new people and join other organiza tions." Gil is on the Young Democrats Committee, and a member of Del ta Upsilon fraternity. In preparation for his term as president he spent six weeks this summer at the Union Theological Seminary in New York. "The title of this school was Leadership Training School," said Gil, "and its main purpose was to teach new presidents how to analyze people and situations, with the hope of making better Y's." He has also taken a number of trips to other colleges in order to visit their Y's and gather new information. Gil said the YMCA would pro bably have a big affect on his fu ture. "Sure, almost all the girls I know on campus are connected di rectly or indirectly with the YWCA," he continued. "AH kidding aside, I plan to go into Law School here at Carolina, and the YMCA has helped me tre mendously in learning how to as sociate with people, which will be a great asset in law."

Will Aid Development Of Cuba: Rusk WASHINGTON (UPI) Secre tary of State Dean Rusk said Tues day the United States will work for the economic and social de velopment of "the oppressed peo ple of Cuba" if they are freed from Communist rule. But now, he said, the most ur gent issue confronting the West ern Hemisphere is "Sino Soviet intervention in Cuba and its aim of converting that island into an armed base for Commnuist pene tration and subversion of Demo cratic institutions in the Ameri- can republic." The secretary made his remarks m a speecn formally opening the inter-American Defense College at Ft. McNair.

The 38 volunteers are immersed 1 ricular organizations that the stu- dent organizations must be offic ially recognized by the University bfore they can use University fa cilities and buildings or otherwise before they can use University fa filiated agencies. A few students have indicated that they have some affiliation with the so-called Progressive La bor movement; however, it is quite clear there is no University-recognized student organization known as the Progressive Labor Club Moreover, the University has not received a request for recognition of such a group. Last yar there was a discussion group known as the New Left which held open meetings. This group was recognized as a properly-constituted student group. It was disbanded voluntarily by its leadrs sometime in the late Spring. Lfforts are being made at this time by several students to revise this study group. Our inquiries indicate that there are no grounds to warrant an in vestigation. Humphrey Sets Thursday Ad j ouriiment WASHINGTON (UPI) Senate Democratic Whip Hubert H. Hum phrey Tuesday set Thursday night as a target date for congression al adjournment, and urged mem bers not to waste time in petty squabbling. "It is imperative that this Con gress adjourn this week," Hum phrey told reporters after a meet ing of Democratic leaders with "" c 6ui tx good record and there is no point in marring that record with mi nor disputes." With members champing at the bit to get back home and cam paign for the November elections. it appeared likely the year's work would be completed at least by week's end.

Running From Ears Corps Volunteers in the Spanish language which they will use when they begin two years of volunteer service at Venezuela's University of the East in early 1963. All language instruction is given to them in Spanish and the stu dents reply in Spanish. The teach- ins system is thus oral, rather than scholastic. The volunteers are spending 22 hours a week in formal study and additional hours prac ticing the language with com panions and friends. "We are using the latest methods in language learning," said William A. McKnight, associate professor in the Department of Romance Languages and coordinator of the UNC Peace Corps Spanish training program. Native Language Five natives of Spanish-speaking countries are employed y the Peace Corps training center here to meet with the trainees each day in small groups of five to six and conduct informal directed conversation Some of these conversation leaders also take their meas with the trainees and help in additional lan guage practice. Each trainee spends one hour a day in the language laboratory where they listen to tapes, with receorded sessions in Spanish. They then repeat what they have heard on the tape; this is recorded, and they can compare their pronunci ation. ice volunteers axe maianz ex .CHAPEL rilLL, NORTH CAROLINA, t ' .

The membership requirements of the Olin T. Binkley -Memorial Bap tist Church here may cause it to be denied membership in a regional association of Baptist churches. The church, which holds serv ices in Gerrard Hall, admits mem bers who have not undergone bap tism by immersion, according to its pastor, Dr. Robert Seymour. This practice first became an issue when the Binkley church was taken under the "watch care" of the Yates Baptist Association, a re gional association of Baptist churches in the immediate area. The observation period was ex tended beyond the customary twelve months when the associa tion became aware of the mem bership policies of the church. Denial Recommendation At the end of the second year,! 10, 1962 Rule O Three Students To Talk At UVA On Miss. Riots Three UNC students will speak on the Oxford, Miss, riots next week at the University of Vir ginia in Charlottesville. The UVa student government issued the invitation to the stu dents, who were in Oxford dur ing the Sept. 30 rioting which took two lives and injured nearly a hundred. Daily Tar Heel co-Editor Jim Clotfelter, Managing Editor Wayne King and Student Legis lator Ford Rowan will speak and answer questions Thursday, Oct. 18 in the UVa student union ball room. The talks will be sponsored by the student government's council on human relations. Sam Garri son, president of the student council, arranged for the UNC students to speak at Charlottes ville. Clotfelter, King and Rowan were part of the seven-man Tar Heel staff on the Oxford campus during the riots. They have writ ten news accounts for the Tar Heel and several state newspap ers. Rowan submitted a report to the Student Legislature, which was considering a resolution on the Mississippi situation.

PHYSICS CLUB The Physics Club will meet Thursday night at 7:30 in 233 Phil lips hall. Dr. Nathan Rosen will lecture on "Quantum Geometry." GLEE CLUB Tryouts are still being held for the Men's Glee Club. First tenors the Yates Association recommend - that the Binkley church's applica tion for membership in the associa tion be denied. The case was reopened recently when Dr. Henry E. Turlington, pas tor of the University Baptist Church, appealed to the Yates As sociation on behalf of the Binkley church. The University and Binkley churches differ, Dr. Turlington said, only in that the University church grants "associate" member ship to persons not baptized by immersion, while the Binkley grants full membership to those people. The University church also with holds the offices of deacon and moderator from associate members. The church is a member of the Yates Association. Dr. Seymour stated that at the founding of the Binkley cnurcn oni Dorm Newspapers To Be Inspected By MIKE McGEE The Interdormitory Council wiU1"1 ,tn hi- f;v,f f QwJ membership is incidental to his meet tonight to consider member ship of fraternity members who live in the dormitories as repre sentatives in the I.D.C. As the by-laws now state, no member of the1 Council can be a member of a social fraternity. This restriction does not apply to members of business fraternities. which are considered by some IDC officers to be "just as social as the social fraternities." Another issue to be considered at this meeting is the complaint by the administration that the dormi- tory newspapers have been becom- ing too obscene. Since these news- papers are a part of the total lm- pression of this college" which is received by persons outside the college who read these publica- tions, IDC Pres. Bruce Welch said of the complaint, "they should be so conceived as to present a good impression. The Council will also discuss plans for a dance to be held Sat- urday night at 8 at the American Legion Hut. Example One point to be brought out in the debate on admittance of fra- ternity members to the I.D.C. is the case of a boy who was elected to a 'seat in the I.D.C. last spring, and became a pledge in a fratern- ity also. He performed his I.D.C. duties fully; and it was not discov ered that he was a member of fraternity until his term had al- most ended. He was allowed complete his term. - I.D.C. president Bruce Welch I among the supporters of this j I amendment. He feels that a man's 'living in a dormitory by definition are especially needed.

Anyone seeking membership was therefore admitted whether he had been baptized by immersion or by sprinkling. "We have every historical and theological precedent for this stand," said Dr. Seymour, who cites the practice of sprinkling converts used by the first and sec ond generation Baptists in Eng land. Dr. Seymour said that in the Baptist Church the primary empha sis must always be on "believers." In his opinion, when consideration of the profession of faith in Christ is subordinated to the symbolic practice of baptism then the cere mony becomes idolatrous. "We have forsaken much of our Baptist Complete UPI Wire Service gJhl iBiMy entitles him to hold position in the Imp Ti rn,u. c u: rnt:... rights as a dorm member. Supporters agree, however, that a pledge should not serve on the I.D.C., since his extra duties as a pledge take too much of his time for him to effectively perform his academic work and his duties to both organizations Opposition There are many members of the council who oppose the measure, according to Welch; enough to make the vote a close one. The main argument which the opposi- tion wil1 assert is the inherent con Hict of interest between the fra- .ei"uy ana nun-iraieinuy iiwii. A man who was a member of a fraternity, the opponents say, would not be able to understand fully the social problems of the non-member, since any time he wishes social life, he has only to go over to the fraternity house to find it. 2 Solutions There are two possible solutions to be proposed to the problem of I the reported grossness m the dorm- itory newspapers. The first is that a board be appointed to check for indecencies in these publications. Welch said this is not to be con- strued as "editorial censorship" or restriction of any freedom of ex- pression of ideas. - l The second proposal is to make a each editor personally responsible for the material in his newspaper. to If any objectionable material ap- pears the ecor would be consid- is ered in violation of the honor code.

"Pilot" Church Dr. Seymour pointed out that al though his church does not belong to the area Yates Association, it is a member of the North Carolina Council of Churches and the North Carolina State Baptist Convention, where its authority is recognized along with churches of the Yates Association. In the American Baptist Conven tion this was an issue 20 years ago," says Dr. Seymour. "Today one-third to one-half of the churches of that convention have a policy like that of the Binkley Church, and the others probably do not consider this question as issue." "We are in the position of a pilot church," says the Binkley minis ter. "The autonomy of the Baptist Church has been a subject of much talk and Uttle action."
