Seventy Years Of Editorial Freedom Offices in Graham Memorial CHAPEL HILL, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1962 Complete UPI Wire Service 2, Di-Phi Passes Resolution To Blockade Cuba The Di-Phi Tuesday night pass ed, by a 17-4 vote, a bill resolving that "the Organization of American States apply direct military action against Cuba in order to preserve the peace and security of the Am crican Continents. Roger Foushee, temporary critic of the society, introduced the reso lution and said that he had pre pared tne Dill two weeks ago "without premonition of its pres ent significance. The three hour debate reflected a strong general interest in the subject as well as a wide variety of opinion. Representative Wright Doyle ad vocated an invasion of Cuba say ing, "If we use only a blockade, we will not be able to topple the regime. If we invade Cuba, the Communists can do nothing but protest. Nuclear war would end their hopes for world domination." Mike Putzel, self-acknowledged pacifist, declared that the Soviet missiles in Cuba pose no greater threat than those in Siberia. He denounced American foreign policy as a negatively anti-communist instead of pro-freedom. He added, "By supporting the tyrannical Ba tista regime, the United States has to take a part of the blame for the present situation in Cuba." Contradicting Putzel's statement, representative Foushee remarked, "If Hitler had been stopped when he moved into Austria, there would have been no World War II; if the communists are stopped now, there may be no World War III. Joe McDonald, a psychology ma jor, expressed his dismay at the Cuban blockade. "A blockade constitutes, under international law, an act of war. I think that most of the world can not visualize the tremendous physical, social and economic aspects of nuclear war ... to avoid war should be our ultimate goal," he said. . Putzel introduced a quote by Ber trandRussel comparing world pol itics to the- game of "chicken." , In "chicken Putzel said.

DeLung said that the report would be submitted to the Student Legislators tonight, and then made available for all students. The 25 page booklet has contributions from the eight students who at tended the Congress at Student Government expense. The introduction to the report, edited by DeLung, explains that the purpose is to justify the ex pense and to stimulate student in terest in the activities of the Con gress. It includes a list of the resolutions passed by the delegates which deal with such topics as in tegration, nuclear testing, com munism, and student disciplinary methods. In the reports submitted by in dividual delegates, there was a universal feeling that the Congress was extremely democratic in its procedure.

All newly ap pointed legislators are urged to attend. eemg Possible BTDOSlll present. All indicated that they favored continued UNC member ship in N.S.A. Inman Allen, president of Stu dent Government, called the Con gress "an enlightening experience with results I have found applic able on the university campus." However, Allen stressed that the value of the Congress would differ depending on the individual, and the type of campus he was from. Vice President Mike Lawler's re-' port emphasized the "excellence" of the leadership in the association. He dealt primarily with specific aspects of the Congress, applying favorable and unfavorable critic ism. Mac Armstrong, who counts him self in the "conservative rninority" which attended the Congress, cited the influence of political "pressure groups" who "would like for the Congress to become a mouthpiece for their partisan platforms." He criticized the conservative factions as "not as well organized or as well supplied with information" as the liberals. Jim Clotfelter, who attended for the DTH, complained that the pro cedure was becoming "more an archistic than merely democratic." Clotfelter cited Carolina's "tradi tional prominent role at the Con gress." Personal reports are also pub lished in the booklet from Bill Harriss, Hank Patterson, Arthur Hays, and Harry DeLung. Each delegate's voting record and ex penses are listed. After the reports are distributed in Student Legislature tonight, they will be available in the Student Government Offices.

Act ing Secretary General Thant Wed nesday night appealed to Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev to stop shipping arms to Cuba. At the same time he asked President Ken nedy to suspend the U. S. naval blockade of Fidel Castro's island. Thant appealed to the two lead ers for a two to three week mora torium on any further moves in the Cuban crisis that arose from Soviet shipment of missiles and other arms to the island. Thant said he was making him self available for whatever ser vices he could perform. Ships At DTH press time of 10 last night, some of the 25 Communist ships headed toward U. S. forces blockading Cuba were steaming toward a possible clash with U. S. iwarships. Other Communist ships apparently changed course, the government announced in Wash ington. The Defense Department made the announcement in one of the most cryptic statements of the Cuban - crisis. It also said that American blockading forces had not yet been forced to order any of the vessels to halt. The announcement from Wash ington .came simultaneous with Secretary General Thant's simul taneous messages to President Kennedy and Premier Khrushchev. Kennedy has replied to the appeal. In his message Thant said he believed it would contribute to a peaceful solution "if construction and development of major military facilities and installments in Cuba could be suspended during the period of negotiations. "I feel that on the basis of dis cussion, some common ground may be found through which a way might be traced out of the present impasse," Thant said. "I now make a most solemn appeal to the parties concerned to enter into negotiations immediate ly, even this night, if possible, ir respective of any other procedures which may be available or which could be invoked." Colleges Across the nation, there was a flurry of campus demonstrations by left-wing and peace groups who protested that the blockade was unnecessarily warlike and danger ous.

Prof. Walter Spearman of the School of Journalism will moderate the discussion, which will explore both the President's policy and its possible consequences. Following the informal panel dis cussion, the floor will be open for additional questions and com ments. Did President Do The Right Thing? -88 Reply Yes Students at UNC seem to be near ly unanimous in their belief that the Cuban situation has come to a point where the President had no other choice than to blockade Cuba. The Tar Heel sent reporters out on the campus yesterday to see the general reaction of the student body to the President's action. Of the 100 students interviewed 88 approved of Kennedy's action, three disapproved and nine were undecided. When asked if they thought the President's actions would lead to war, 76 students said "no", five said "yes", and 19 were undecided. One student who disapproved of the President's actions said "I think a global war will result and that a little island like that isn't worth it." The student asked to remain anonymous. Here are he reactions of some of the students: David Chambers: "I don't feel that the action is strong enough If the Russians offer resistance, we should retaliate with nuclear weap ons (On Russia)." Dorothy Wilder: "We have wait ed too long. Now it is a bad posi tion for both sides and neither side can back down. I also feel that Kennedy was undiplomatic in placing these nations in such ; situation. But then, somethm should have been done a long time ago." Dale Johnson: "Sugar always draws flies. Kennedy is using some Melvin Little: "The President! should have taken such a measure sooner." Fred Van Eck: "I'm in fuJI ac cord with the President's action, I think that he did the right thing bv waiting until he had definite! nmnf nhnnf Cnha's offpnsiv hm'id- nn Thfl thfflj; nf mwpr ha? rainpri " - " respect for the U. S., especially 1 x among the Latin Americans. Lann Malesky: "The real test will come when we see what Russia will do in retaliation, especially in Berlin, and how we will cope with this retaliatory action." Mike Gladstein: "The President nqyer made any councilatory ges tures toward Castro, such as nego tiations. Under the present circum stances he left himself no choice but the use of force. Open Trials Amendment Goes Before Legislature Tonight The proposed constitutional amendment to open honor council trials to reporters will go before the Student Legislature tonight in a changed version which now has the support of both the Men's and Women's Council chairmen. The new version of the bill, which provides that a defendant "shall have a non-public trial upon his request to the attorney general," was passed favorably out of the legislature's Judicial Committee after two hours of discussion Tues day afternoon. Men's Council Chairman Walter Dellinger, who had originally pro posed that all council trials be op en to reporters automatically, said he felt the changed version would "accomplish essentially the same results without undue embarrass ment to the defendant." Bev Haynes, chairman of the Women's Council, said she would support the new version of the proposal. Miss Haynes and other members of the Women's Coun cil opposed the first proposal on the grounds that the rights of a defendant, particularly in women's Campus Code cases, would not be adequately protected. Bill Hobbs, DTH Associate Edi tor and co-sponsor of the bill with Dellinger, said he opposed the new version of the bill. ''This leaves the situation right where it has always been. A constitutional amendment should change some thing, should offer the student body with some significant decision. The bill as it now stands fails to do that." Hobbs said he would "certainly support" the changed version if Curtis Hardy: "Action should have been taken during the Eisen hower administration to safeguard U. S. rights and property. Since nothing was done at that time, Ken nedy could not act until sufficient further provocation occured. Be cause of this delay the U. S. has been forced to take an action which is questionable as far as interna tional law is concerned, but seems to be the only recourse to insure our national security." Edgar Hoepker, a student from Costa Rica: "I think it had to come to a head. I think action on Cuba should have been taken a long time ago. We (the people of Cota Rica) always felt Cuba should have been dealt with. I think the U. S. should have put all effort behind the Bay of Piss. They had nothing to lose as they lest face anyhow". Susan Matuszak: "I think I sup port Kennedy s position because think the situation demands it. think it's about time the U. S. took a firmer stand in internation al issues." Robert Angell: "I'm backing Kennedy. I think he ust waited too long. If he had supported the Bay of Pigs invasion fully Castro would have been overthrown. Unidentified girl said only, "I'm scared." Mr. Kenneth Byerly: "I've been deeply disturbed about Cuba and was pleased when the President irur firm 5ft inn no Vi fA 1 tVlinlc I , ,1KnM.t fVinf wf will havp. Ips trouble in the long run because of this." Chris Farran: "I'm very pleased with President Kennedy's firmness. I hope that L&tin America, South - j America, and Europe will give us the support that they haven t in the past." uene liendrix: i luiiy agree .. .. . . witii tne resident s decision on 1 , tt . -- il , r r tuDa. ue s iinany snown vrus. that the U. S. means business, and will fight if necessary to preserve freedom." Herb Youngkin: "I'm glad that Kennedy took a stand on such a vital issue. I hope that the results will not be war but the 'word' of the U. S. must be upheld at any cost." Judy Wright "I think the Presi dent is doing the only thing he can." the legislature passed in that form, but stated he hoped it would be returned to the original form by the legislature tonight. Another change in the bill pro vides that the council chairmen will submit a report to the Tar Heel on the decision of the council for all trials not open to reporters. The proposal was also changed to place responsibility for keeping the defendant's name secret on the individual reporters at open trials. The reporters would be on their honor under the Honor Code to neither "publish, report or other wise make known" the names of anyone involved in the trial with out written permission. Judicial Committee Chairman Charlie Cooper explained that this provision would, "not only insure this secrecy quite definitely, but protect the traditional freedom of the Tar Heel from restrictions by the constitution." Before the Judicial Committee meeting Tuesday, the bill would have opened all Honor Code and Campus Code trials to two report ers from the Daily Tar Heel. It also set up a three-men board to which students with "strong per sonal reasons for desiring a non public trial" could appeal to have a closed trial. The board would have consisted of the student body President, and the chairman and attorney general of whichever council was considering the stu dent's case. This section of the bill was re moved by the amendment which allowed any student to request a closed trial ca bij own.
