Seventy Years Of Editorial Freedom Offices in Graham Memorial CHAPEL HILL, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1962 Complete UPI Wire Service t i i r iv enior Cabinet P icks Klineberj Dr. Frank W. Klingberg, a member of the UNC History De partment, was selected as Teacher of the Month at a recent meeting of the Senior Class Cabinet. Th Cabinet, speaking, for the Class, made this nomination to recognize Dr. Klingberg's "out standing qualities as a teacher and as an advisor to students." The cabinet cited Dr. Klingberg for his "very imaginative presen tation and flare for communicat ing with students even in a large class. "All of his students agree that he is a frendly person; it is per haps his attitude toward his stu dents that accounts for his success in communicating with them." Dr. Klingberg himself, asked what he liked to see in his stu dents, replied "intellectual curiou sity," which he believes can be stimulated by the approach taken by the teacher. In teaching history he says it is necessary to weave some thought into the subject matter in order to induce the student "to become involved" in his study. He feels that it is unfortunate that students "must bother them selves with taking notes because it detracts from classroom discus sion." Revealing a familarity with sports, Dr. Klingberg expressed his views on intercollegiate ath letics and de-emphasis. "Athletics will be de-emphasized by events as much as by a certain course policy," he said, explaining that the current de-emphasis programs are a part o fa general trend and are certainly not isolated to this university community, lie con tinued by saying that this inevit able trend is due in part to the rising standards and the fact that "students are more sophisticated in their attitude." He said he be lieves athletics in the South and the rest of the "country will very likely follow the same patterns evolved in the Ivy League schools. Dr. Klingberg is a staunch de fender of the Honor System and personal integrity. "The Honor System works," he says; but "it works best if the faculty are com mitted to it as a principle." He recogizes the difficulty arising i i CURRENT AFFAIRS Anyone interested in joining the new GM Current Affairs Commit tee should drop by GM this after noon betveen 2 and 4 p.m. YACK PAYMENT Payment for Yack space is due this week.

VOTE OF THANKS A resolution was passed at a recent meeting of the Indian Na tionals on the campus of UNC in appreciation of the fund drive now under way for "humanitari an aid" to India. The resolution reads: "We the Indian Nationals on the campus of UNC, have noted with appreciation the appeal made by some residents of Chap el Hill for contributions to a humanitarian fund meant for the Indian casualties in the un-de-clared Indian-China war and their dependents, to be used by the government of India for non-political, non-combatant purposes.

S. gov ernment ban on travel to Cuba and accept a Fidel Castro offer of an all-expense-paid Christmas vacation there, it was learned here Wednesday. , The students, mobilized by Ana tol Isaac Schlosser, 25, a gradu ate New York University student identified as a Castro sympathiz er, plan to slip out of the U. S. to Canada and take Cuban gov ernment air transportation from Montreal to Havana either Dec. 22 or Dec. 23. Their expenses during 12 days in Havana will be paid by the Castro regime, according to re Witness Accuses HUAC Questioner 01 Badgering Her WASHINGTON (UPI) Four women witnesses Wednesday de fied House investigators looking into alleged Communist infiltra tion of peace movements and one accused them of "throwing stones" instead of asking ques tions. For the second day in a row, female witnesses called by the House Committee on Un-American Activities refused to tell the panel whether they ever were members of the Community par ty. A Westport, Conn., housewife, Mrs. Anna Mackenzie, heatedly objected to the questioning about her associations 25 years ago. She accused the committee of "throwing stones" instead of questions at her. ... . . , The witnesses invoked the Fifth Amendment repeatedly against possible self-incrimination. The four called to testify were the seventh witnesses in two days to balk at such questioning. The committee, under acting Chairman Clyde Doyle, D-Calif., is seeking to determine if the Women's Strike for Peace and other such groups are Communist infiltrated. The peace groups have charged that the House inquiry is an at tempt to "smear" their members and discourage their peaceful pic keting and other activities. Wit nesses have challenged the pan el's right to question their past affiliations. Doyle told reporters it would be up to the committee later to review the record and determine whether any witnesses should be cited for contempt of Congress for refusing to answer questions. The Committee, meanwhile, an nounced the main witness for the resumption of hearings Thursday will be Mrs. Damar Wilson, a lo cal housewife and originator of the Women's Strike for Peace or ganization. The hearings Wednesday were relatively orderly. Only a small crowd was on hand, compared with hundreds of women some with babies who enlivened the scene Tuesday with clapping and much hugging and kissing of the star witnesses. JUMPING GEMINHDS It was announced today from The Morehead Planetarium that the annual shower of meteors known as the Geminids will reach its annual peak activity tonight The "shower" will be observed as flashes of light in the sky. This astronomical phenomenon will con tinue for six days after December 13, rising, to its peak and then fad ing away. Meteors explained A. F. Jen zano, Director of The Morehead Planetarium, appear as streaks of light against the dark sky and background of stars, and are com monly called "Shooting Stars." The December 13 shower is call ed the Geminid shower because the meteors appear to radiate from constellation of Gemini. . . . An observer will normal3y.be able to see an average of 50 me teors per hour, although visability may be hampered this year due to the light of a concurrent full moon. Some meteors can be seen at any time during the night but the greatest number of meteors per hour is seen after rmdnight be cause then the observer is on the part of the earth that is moving toward the meteors and so "runs into them." v tudents Plan Cuba liable sources. Schlosser told UPI he expected at least 80 students from the east, west, midwest and Canada to make the junket. However, Jo seph A. Diodata, 21, a student Larry Phelps, head of the dele gation of UNC students planning to go to Cuba over the Christmas vacation, announced yesterday that "at the present time I can only disclose the names of two students, besides myself, who will definitely be going. They are John Salter and Dennis King." Phelps said that the UNC group is firm in its plans to go to Cuba, despite the State Department's denial of permission to make the trip. He said a meeting of all those IDC On Advi it it & it ir ir ir ir 'Bad Check' Bill, Finances To Be Aired In SL Tonight The controversial bill to estab lish toad checks as an offense against the student body will be considered ..by Student Legislature in its session tonight. Also to be acted upon are six bills, with a total outlay of $2,651.60, which were passed favorably out of the Finance Committee in its meet ing Tuesday night. The "bad check" bill, as intro duced by Ford Rowan (SP), is de signed to restrict the large amount of checks which return because of insufficient funds and to protect those students who now enjoy the privilege of cashing personal checks in the Chapel Hill area. Provisions Of The Bill According to this bill if a stu- dent refuses to reimburse a mer - chant for a bad check he has vio-1 Party Contends It Did Not Dodge Law WASHINGTON (UPI) An at torney for the U. S. Communist party told a U. S. District Court jury Wednesday that he would try to prove the party did not wil fully refuse to register with the attorney general. The party is on trial under the 1950 Subversive Activities Control Act charged with defying a gov ernment order to register as a Communist-action organization. John Abt, one of two attorneys representing the party, told the jury of eight women and four men that the party agreed with the government position that there was no attemDt to register after being ordered to do so by the Sub versive Activities Control Board. The board's order became final on Oct. 20, 1961, and the party was indicted on Dec. 1, 1961, on 12 rminte nf failins to register. If convicted the party can be fined up to $120,000. Two otticers or me party, Gus Hall and Benjamin Dav is, have been indicted for faifure to register but no date has been set for their trial. The board 'has defined a Communist-action organization as one dominated and controlled by the world wide Communist movement based in the Soviet Union. Kirk Maddrix, a Justice De partment, attorney, said the. gov- ernmpnt would attempt to prove that the party was guilty simply j hy failing, to register aner me board had ordered it to do so. He told the jury that after the party was ordered to register and the Supreme Court had upheld the or der, party officers called a press conference in New York on June 5, 1961, and explained tteir reas ons for not complying. . He said Hall, general chairman interested in going to Cuba will be held tonight at 8 p.m. in Rol and Parker III of G.M. at the state university of Buffa lo, N. Y., said 62 students were planning to go from there alone and predicted as many as 250 students would eventually make the trip. To Exercise 'Travel Rights Schlosser said the students re cruited for the trip were from the New York City area, includ ing City College of New York; the universities of Wisconsin, Chi cago, North Carolina, California and Toronto, Boston University, Harvard, Oberline and others. The trip organizer said the jun ket would be carried out "cogniz ant of the fact that the U. S. Prop or lated the Honor Code and will be treated accordingly. If a student cashes a bad check he is immedi ately liable to student government actiorr.Hopefully this will make a student think twice about hounc ing a checK and hopeiuiiy it win, improve student-merchant rela tions. This bill provides that a mer chant can report those violators who he wishes to charge with pass ing bad checks to the Student Credit Commission, a branch of SG which notifies students that they owe money on bad checks. For a bad check, if it is less than $25, a student only gets a written warning from the SCC. This pro vision allows for honest mathemat ical mistakes. For repeated or serious offenses a person is brought ! before his honor council by the, j Attorney General. The first offense is punishable, of the party, and other officers told newsmen at that time that they would not cooperate with the government and "we would rather spend the rest of our lives in pris on than to do that." The board first ordered the par ty to register as a communist ac tion organization in 1953, but it Was delayed due to lengthy appeals. Novelist McKenna Analyzes Education At Faculty Club Richard McKenna, who's recent novel won the $10,000 Harper Award and is the Book-of-the-'Month Club selection for January, spoke Tuesday to the Faculty Club on his personal "quest for educa tion". McKenna, who came to UNC after retirement from the Navy, told of his long experience in read ing books and how he emerged on a new plateau of understanding after his years in Chapel Hill. In spite of his determination to get an education through extensive reading on his own, McKenna fin ally had to admit his failure in self-education because there was so much that was hard to under stand. "I was forced, to conclude that for me, at least, there was no substitute for a college educa tion." , He came to UNC, and made all A's and Phi Beta Kappa in a wide range of courses in the sciences,! government has denied us permis sion and does not want us to go." He said the Castro regime was not footing the bill for the tour, but the Cuban University Stu dents Federation in Havana, which, however, is Castro-controlled. In Buffalo, Schlosser's trip or ganizer there, Cameron A. Ross, 23, said the local group had not yet received satisfactory replies from Schlosser to several "im portant" questions about where the money was coming from for the trip. Ross said Schlosser had agreed to furnish the neces sary answers "in a couple of days." Canadian View Uncertain In Montreal, a Canadian gov C Act! by a written warning which will be received through the mail. On the second offense the council is em powered by this bill to give a council reprimand which is a - J verbal reprimand long used in the women s Council for other types of offenses. In order to punish chronic vio Iators, the council has the power to give an official reprimand, which goes on the student's rec ord, or probation. Money Bills Approved Approved by the Finance Com mittee were the following bills: (1) a bill to supplement the Yack Budget with $951.60 from the General Surplus; (2) a bill to appropriate $600 from the unap- propriated balance to the Carolina I Forum; (3) a bill to give $555 from the unappropriated balance to the State Affairs Committee to encourage the State Legislature to allot funds for a College Union here and an addition to Woollen Gym; (4) a bill to appropriate $530 from the General Surplus for the purchase of one steno-mask and one autograph machine in in order to insure better recohds for Men's and Women's Honor Coun cils; (5) a bill to appropriate $15 from the unappropriated balance for the lithographing of lists (name, address, phone number, etc.) of all the SL members which would be posted around the camp us; and (6) a bill to repeal an earlier bill which requested mon ey for the purchase of additional bulletin boards. English, and psychology. "I found the University of North Carolina abundantly able to supply what I lacked." "I can now read almost any book in English that I wish to read. In addition I can tell quite soon whether any particular book is worth reading. I no longer assume that anything difficult is good for me in direct proportion to its turgid impenetrability ..." Even More But McKenna found even more at Chapel Hill, he told the fac-' ulty. "I discovered other lacks of. mine which I had not realized until I knew them being supplied to me . . . Each new thing I learned seemed to fit between two' things I already knew. I hadl brought to the university a great, chaotic rat hoard of miscellan eous information." Trip ernment source indicated there would be no official interference with the trip. However, he said Cuban government planes must have prior authorization to carry passengers from Canada to Cuba and indicated there might be some reluctance to grant permis sion for such a flight if the pas sengers were American. An Oberlin College Spokesman said he "doubted" any of the school's students would join the free tour to Cuba. Schlosser, who was identified by Havana radio Nov. 29 as "or ganizer" of the tour to Cuba said in New York he was "only a spokesman" for the organization, lie said the trip was "less of a protest than a matter of exercis ing our right to travel." rieclc on Student Control sire An amendment to the I.D.C. Court By-Laws was introduced last night which would allow dorm residents to appeal administrative disciplinary action to the student court. J Ford Rowan, who introduced the - amendment, said mat we purpose oi me measure was in no way an attempt to intimidate any mem- ber of the administration, but ra ther "to insure that student gov ernment handles discipline, in fact . . . not just in word." The Amendment would give a dorm resident the right to ap peal "any dormitory discipline ac tion by the university administra tion" to the I.D.C. Court. Specifi cally, the I.D.C. feared the grow ing power of the Resident Adviser, who has the power to remove a student from the dormitory arbi trarily, without a hearing or trial. Rowan said that the I.D.C. Court could already hear student appeals on damage adjustments of the Dormitory (Managers, and that "there was no reason the admin istration should object unless the resident advisers are doing more than just their official counseling duties." Rowan said he doubted that an appeal would be accepted by the court unless the case involved "should obviously have gone first to the court anyway". When questioned later Rowan said that he was not trying "to in stitute the principle of student re view of administrative decisions, only to insure students their tra ditional rights." "As my studies progressed, I could appreciate how it was all be ing subtly rearranged into some kind of form and order. It was be ing made more useful and avail able to me and charged with re newed interest . . . From the mo ment I began my studies the ap pearance of the world began to alter for me. I mean that quite literally." Although he himself derived much from his experiences at UNC, McKenna added that he must say something more on "the cur rent controversy in American l ucation." He said while he was in Chapel Hill, he noticed that "many of the youngsters in the classes I attend ed were not finding it anything like the enthralling experience it was to me." Many of the students, said McKenna, were conspicious for their "passiveness".
