Residents of men's dormitories will vote on a referendum, which would increase the current dorm social fee by 75 cents, when they go to the polls on November 6. "The present fee of 75 cents is inadequate," said Owen Bishop, secretary of the IDC. "This fee was set up in 1949, and 75 cents will not do now what it would do then." He further stated that most dorms are using the current funds wisely, but , that one combo party may completely bankrupt a small dorm. As evidence, Bishop offer ed statistics showing that eleven men's dorms ended the 1962 spring semester with less than $20 in their social funds, despite limited social programs. The reduction in the number of three man rooms this year has reduced the potential source of in come for most dorms. Dorms that attempt to extend their activities to include newspapers, parade floats, and similar activities are often forced to assess residents to defray expenses. The IDC proposed the raising of the fee in the belief that $1.50 is an amount more in keeping with current costs, and will allow dorms to offer more and varied activities for their;, residents, fiishon " indicated that he did not feel that derm residents should ob ject to the increase, but that they should realize the benefits it could bring. He said that participation is directly related to the quantity and. qualify .of; activities offered, citing Alexander's combo parties as excellent examples of this. "I urge all dorm residents to cait their ballots for this referen dum on November 6," Bishop add ed. "They will be helping them selves by doia so." 1 x : lit v " I pus Police, said, "We had heard rumors the night before and knew that there might be. some kind of demonstration. I was on hand the whole time and followed the crowd in my car. ' ' "It- was a noisy but orderly crowd of boys, and there was no danger The Chapel Hill police were very cooperative and directed traf fic as the demonstration moved up Franklin St." The students began gathering in a result of telephone calls to all men's dormitories. An effigy of Cuba's Premier Castro was burned and the crowd began to move down Raleigh St.; At this time the crowd reached its highest point at more than 500, according to police estimates The demonstrators turned left at Franklin St., marched through town, and down Columbia St. to ' Cameron Ave. Most traffic stop ped until they were off the street Police kept cars from entering from the W. Franklin direction, There were chants of "Rip 'em up, tear 'em up, give 'em hell, Jack." "Castrate Castro," "Cuba no, Yankee si," and "Go to hell Fidel, Go to hell!" Then the demonstration turned onto Cameron Ave. and back into the center of campus Part of the crowd moved off to ward Cobb with screams of "pan- tv raid." but according to Chief Beaumont, one student got up in front of Lewis dorm and told tne students, "We have accomplished -jpvw'-:-:-: PROTEST Two unidentified Carolina' students march' through campus waving a "Ream Russia" sign during Thursday night's anti Cuba demonstration. , Photo by Jim Wallace mum muni. .umiMi f wihul imuniii n . i n fVl , our purpose.

Two members of the panel expressed the opinion that Kennedy was not justified by calling for the blockade. The other two said that for purposes of national defense and for the well-being of the Americas, Kennedy's unilateral action was his only recourse. Members of the panel included Dr. Harold Bierck, professor of Latin American History; Dr. Ray mond H. Dawson, assistant process or of political science; Al Lowen- oiem, Aistructor in social studies at N. C. State, and Charles Parrish, part time instructor and a student of Latin American politics. Pro fessor Walter Spearman was the moderator. Lowenstein was the most vocal panelist against the blcckade. "In international law, there ' is no way a country can blockade another without a state of war," he said. "However, Cuba is not going to declare a state of war. We took the position without international sanction. . "As a lawyer, I want to feel that my country respects inter national law.. There can. be no contention but that this action was a serious breach of inter- Indians Call Emergency; Reds Advance NEW. DELIII (UPlVT India pro- clairtied a state of national emer gency Friday as the Chinese Com munists pushed deeper into its territory along the 1,000-mile bord er and threatened an Indian army headquarters controlling an inva sion route to the rich plains of Assam. Indian President Dr. Sarvepalli Radharkrishman's proclamation made because of "external aggres sion" had the effect of imposing martial law throughout the sub continent. It was effective imme diately although it will not be ap proved by parliament until that body meets Nov. 8. The national emergency was pro claimed under the terms of the Defense of India Act which was written by the British when India was part of the empire. It was under that act that Prime -Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and . his as sociates were arrested in 1942 and held without trial in World War II. It permits the government to suspend "fundamental rights." It permits arrests without warrants, imprisonment without trial and far-reaching press censorship. The power extends not only to- the central government in Dehli but to the state legislatures. The Government also called on Indians to surrender their jewel rv and hoarded sold to nav for India's war effort. ' It announced a new issue of defense bonds and hinted .at stronger economic mea sures if the public did not coop erate to keep prices down and end hoarding. " . The communique announcing the emergency action coincided with the first time India . has ever stood up in the United Nations to charge the Chinese Communists with "flagrant; massive and pre meditated aggression." -But that the same time India stuck to its view it would be better to deal with Peiping as a U-N. member. The heaviest ' fighting which posed the gravest threat yet to India was in the Towang area of the northeast frontier area near the borders of India, Tibet and Bhutan. ; A. breakthrough ; there would lay open the rich afea of Assam to possible invasion, Infirmary- Frances Goins; Joan Delves' Hel en Ford, Sonja Floyd, .Sandra Childress, William At well,: Bobert Jones, George Ingram, Donald Dratalik, Walter :Doughton,- Fran cis Langford, David.

The only comment that I have heard to abrogate this action is that 'I know it's wrong, but I'm glad we did it a sort of virgin's lament." Dr. Dawson contended that the President's action was both- wise and necessary, although danger ous. The Russian policy over the last two and a half years, since its alliance with Cuba, has been "bull ish," he said. "I became very con cerned about Khrushchev's com ment to Robert Frost that the U. S. is too liberal to fight. The President has met the challenge the only way he could. He did what was neces sary. "There is one major point of contention which must be settled: how can we justify our objections to the Russian buildup of missiles in Cuba when we have bases in the -United Kingdom,' Spain, and Turkey? There are two answers to this question. "First is the fact that the Am ericas' are a regional organization, and the Rio Pact pledges the U. S to defend the- hemisphere. . There is a unanimity of opinion in the OAS to recognize the threat. "Second, our - bases in' Europe were created in a historical situa tion. After the Sputnik successful 1957; we had to construct these bas es to ca4.cn up in- the space race But these missiles are becoming obsolete. We have not put our most modern equipment into our Euro pean bases," Dawson said. Dr. Bierck explained that our traditional dealings with Cuba and its closeness to the U. S. col ored our thinking about it. "If Cuba were removed to the center of the Atlantic, the situation would not be what it is today," he said. "Why did the President have to do what he did? Their refugees in this country have the best an swer. We should do what we do for the Cuban masses." Parrish called the dealings with Cuba the greatest failure of the Kennedy administration. "The U. S. played Cupid in Castro's romance with the Communists. We have al lowed other leaders Nasser, Nkumrah, and Ben Bella, for exam ple, to follow the same course. "Today's plight became inevita ble when Khrushchev made the mis take of putting missiles in Cuba. The missiles in Cuba are no more daneerous to our security than those in Russian submarines off our coast. If Castro is but a puppet of Moscow, then we should fear him no more than we fear the pilot of a Polaris-type submarine. If Cas tro is not a puppet, then our policy in dealing "with Cuba has been all wrong. "If we invade Cuba, Castro will send nuclear weapons against us. Castro would not halt at bombing the U. S. if he were attacked." On this point, Dr. Bierck said that he did not agree that Cas tro would not actually set off a nuclear war which would inevi tably destroy Cuba. Parrish suggested that action should have been taken through the United Nations. - Dawson defended Kennedy's uni lateral action against Lowenstein's rtst; An aDDroach of carrying the protest to the UN or OAS would only have tied up the case while more arms poured into Cuba, he said. - Lowenstein predicted that the U. S. will pay dearly for its action in international prestige. "We so often base our protests on interna tional law, but now wc. are ignor ing the law," he said. , Bierck called the reasoning of Lowenstein and Parrish "spac ious," saying that because the ex istence of the U. S. has been chal lenged, its action can be support- , Lowenstein said that this coun try is being unfair in only allow ing the Cubans to have defensive arms. "Wre should give Cuba the right to attack if we give her per mission to defend herself," be explained. h ' ,- - - ' fill - - y , lit t . j i .

' t If W f 'in- New Missile Bases Said Being Built WASHINGTON (UPI) U.S. blockade forces Friday for the first time boarded and released a Soviet-chartered ship bound for Cuba. At the same time, the White House reported continued rapid construction of missile bases in Cuba, with attempts to camou flage them. . In still a third development in the Cuban crisis, the State De partment served notice that "fur ther action" may be taken against the missile bases. The 7,628-ton freighter Marcula of Lebanese registry, and pre sumably Panama-owned, was halt ed in the Atlantic about 500 miles northeast of Havana. It was searched by an armed board in 2 party and allowed to pass through the U. S. blockade when no pro hibited weapons were found. Cooperates In Search The freighter, .cooperating in the search, was boarded by mea from the destroyer Joseph P. Ken nedy, Jr., named after the Presi dent's dead war hero brother. and the Pierce, which on May 2i picked up astronaut M. Scott Car penter's space capsule. After a three hour search, the vessel was cleared to continue toward Havana with its cargo cf trucks, truck parts, paper rolls and sulphur. None of these 'items is considered offensive war ma terial. Several hours after the suc cessful boarding, the White House pointedly declared that there had been no evidence of any inten tion, on the part .of the Russians to heed President Kennedy's de mand : that missile bases in Cuba be dismantled. , ... "On the contrary," it "said, "t'; 3 Soviets are rapidly-.-' con fi.-n '-; their construction ' of port and launch facilities and ser ious attempts are under way tj camouflage their efforts." Arany Bolsters Forces White House Press Secretary Pierre Salinger declined to reveal any steps that might be taiea against the buildup. But the Army was rolling mighty forces into Key West, Fla., including semi-trailer trucks marked "explosive." And at the State Department, spokesman Linfcoln White drew attention to President Kennedy's Monday night warning that should "offensive military preparations in Cuba continue, thus increas ing the threat to the hemisphere. further action will be justified." White told a news briefing ha wanted to emphasize the signifi cance of the President's state ment and to cite "the gravity cf the situation." All indications point ed to some action soon against the missile sites. Open Trials Bill Delayed Till Tuesday An "open trials" bill was post poned by Student Legislature Thursday night until a special ses sion next Tuesday.

There was no debate on a till which would put a constitutional amendment before the student body on Nov. 6, providing for hon or council trials open to two Daily Tar Heel reporters.
