LI ovcl f Kf 2nd continued court branches of the greater university light of former student Ann Carter at Chapel Hill, Greensboro and Ra against the student honor system eligh, eventually admitting men as J?R9 33 the top story at UNC 111 students at Women's College and I giving N. C. State a liberal arts The Carter case won out over program. Friday advocated calling uie stories ol changing tire name yi me university, the rise of left- ism, the suspension of the 80 per cent rule, and open trials. The top story first broke when Miss Carter appealed to the Chan- cellor her sumpnsinn fmm srhnni for allegedly cheating on a Latin quiz. After Aycock denied her p7ea, she carried her case to the trust ees, who referred it to a special committee. Finding this avenue closed, she took the case to the! state courts. Wake County Superior Court Judge Heman Clark denied Miss Carter's attorney's pleading that the student jury was unable to ' determine the guilt or innocence of another student. He did say, however that he had some doubt as to her guilt. The final venSet in the case is yet to be made. The overall plans for the Con solidated University constitute the second biggest story of the year. Last spring, a move was begun to study the possibility of accepting one or more of the new commun- ity colleges into the consolidated system. I his fall, President Fn-j Magazine y DTH Jim Clotfelter, DTH co-editor,; yesterday said the controversial Worth Carolina (Magazine would bel B discontinued. " The magazine, which is publish ed by the Tar Heel? has been "sub- ject to much criticism as to its'. quality," said the co-editor. "Some' of this criticism has been justi-l fied I .T JJ:t:, ;J ,,.lt.u I iu duuii ai. fcdiu luutitei.i tne magazine nas not been aoie to carry enough advertising to jus tify its expense." Monday's second issue of the magazine received aavo.-ie re-' action from some students for an article, "The First and Finest; Feeling" by C. Carroll Farran and! for several cartoons. The story! concerned the writer's impres- sions oi ;uiam ana n,ve ana tne creation. Inman Allen, president of the student body, yesterday said UXC's tradition of editorial free dom was "flagrantly violated" by the N. C. Magazine. "A gross abdication of editorial responsi bility allowed the infiltration of filfth and perverted matter into the publication," Allen said. Clotfelter said reaction to the controversial story was not the on ly reason for killing the magazine. "In addition, there is some doubt as to the suitability of the DfH printing such a magazine;" said Clotfelter, "and so it is felt best to discontinue publication at this time." Co-Editor Chuck Wyre was out of town and not available for comment. "Members of the Publications i Board felt the magazine could best be published under some other arrangement," Clotfelter . said. "Advertising has not been as high as was expected, and therefore the cost of the mag- Alleii's Statement To Tar Heel: For many years the Univer sity of North Carolina has cher ished and honored its tradition and policy of student freedom of the press. On December 17, 1962, in the second issue oi vuiuiiic one of "The North uaroiina Magazine", this tradition was flagrantly violated with the pub lication of the supplement to The Daily Tar Heel. A gross abdic ation of editorial responsibility allowed the infiltration of filth and perverted matter into the publication. Though we have long cheri&hed our principle of editorial free dom, the violation of this free dom in this issue was so flagrant as to demand responsible student action. To ignore this violation would be to betray the trust con f erred on student leadership by the University and the student body. Therefore, as president of the student body, I hope to initi ate posiUve action with respect to further publication of The North Carolina Magazine. I day and the trustees supported a 1 plan to further standarize the three, ell three branches by the same name, The story of Ieftism rew the bigest attention, when the. Am- erican Legion Post in Chapel Hill asked the administration to investigate certain un-American activities on campus. The charg es mentioned especially the New Lift Club and the Progressive Labor Club. The New left, a discussion group, was disbanded last spring but was reorganized by some of its old members this fall. The PLC, which included some of the New Left, enjoyed its biggest period of activity in late spring and sum mer. Late in the year, the left ists drew attention by sponsoring the appearance of Pete Seeger on campus and announcing plans to visit Communist Cuba despite State Department restrictions. Carolina fraternities finally suc ceeded in their fight against the 80 per cent rule. Under this regu- lation, if less than 80 per cent of a fraternity's active members fail- ed to make a C average for two consecutive semesters, the fra- Killed Editors, azine is more than we feel it is worth." In an editorial in today's DTH, Clotfelter said he did not think the Creation article was "filfth" or Periea. "There were passages in the ar - ' tide, however," the editorial said, "which we feel were definitely in- arfvihi anH nffoTuro f TV1Q : i jJt.ioi.Lja. The DTH editors had consid ered discontinuing magazine pub lication for some time, Clotfelter said, but lack of substantial ad vertising in the last issue was "the final blow." "This furor about the Creation article brought to our attention sa", a majui jjivuicm vum-v-m- icig the magazine. I he iar neei editors do not have the time or staff at this time to properly sup ervise publication of such a mag azine," Clotfelter said. He said that Alike Robinson, ed itor of the magazine, would not have edited any future issues, ev en if it had been continued. Robin son will graduate in January.

Those members needing rides should ternity lost rushing privileges. The move to abolish the rule was start- ed by the IFC, who carried it to the Student Legislature. It finally was approved by the faculty coun cil on an experimental basis. The fraternities' victory seemed hoi low, however, when the faculty put much more stringent restrie tions on what inactive members can do. It took a campus-wide referen dum, but student courts were opened to the press. The issue of open trials, long advocated by student editors, was finally, re commended in a report by a men's council committee. The move was at first fought by the women's council, but the legisla ture approved of an election on the issue, and voters approved it overwhelmingly. The frantic campaign for Daily Tar Heel editor rated number six on the list. It was a two-party race, with co-editor candidates Jim First Issue Of J 'School Paper Is Out The first issue of the UNC Jour nalist, a laboratory newspaper to print the best news and feature stories, editorials, and reviews written by journalism students, was distributed yesterday.

Photo by Jim Wallace ikybolt Problem Divides Leaders NASSAU, Bahamas (UPI) President Kennedy and Prime Minister Harold Macmillan met in balmy weather and high spirits Tuesday, but shadowing this "big two summit" was the conflict ov er proposed U. S. jettisoning of the Skybolt nuclear missile pro gram. The Anglo-American leaders stepped up to Tuesday afternoon their opening conference on world issues in the wake of the Cuban crisis and the new situation posed by Red China's invasion of India. Top military men of both na tions including Defense Sec retary Robert McNamara and Britain's Peter Thorney croft were to sit in on the talks. Their presence underlined the pressing nature , of the Skybolt controversy which had put Macmillan under severe political strain at -.home. Setting for this sixth Keonedy iMacmillan meeting was the lush, sub-tropical Lyford Cay .Club on a peninsula on the western lip of New Province Island. .Kennedy was reported in a "friendly but firm" mood over the apparent American decision to halt within several months development- of the Skybolt, an atomic armed missile fired from a bomb er to ground targets with a jange cf 1,000 miles. ings that his votes might not be counted, Mathers led in the voting by almost 500 votes. The day after the election, however, he discov ered that he would be unable to work as editor in the fall and Britain had counted Qn the Sky bolt to arm its jet bomber fleet. Kennedv has indicated, however, that failures, and delays will lead to abandoning the project whose completion would cost $2.o omion in favor of reliance on .Minute- man and other missiles, the Po laris and Strategic Air Command. The missile controversy had more immediacy but no more im- nnrtanra than other iSSUeS. in- eluding: Anglo-American support of In dia against Red Chinese encroach ment. Consideration of implications of the rift between Nikita Khrush chev and the Chinese Communists. Persuasion of Britain and oVh er European powers to increase their troop contributions to NATO, bringing its forces up from 23 to 30 divisions. The Congo, where the United States is urging Britain to in crease its support of United Na tions efforts to force Katanga back into the republic. Macmillan gave Kennedy an ef fusive greeting when the dent's plane arrived from Wash ington at 10:55 a.m. EST. Both men obviously were delighted at the sunshine and blue skies after leaving cold and stormy weather behind. ... ' dropped out of the campaign. He endorsed Clotfelter and -Wrye, who won in the runoff. Cersorship by the administra tion was the number seven story. The Beat Dook parade, held on Monday before the game, drew such complaints' for its alleged grossness that eight fraternities and one dorm were censured. The office of the Dean of Men established a special board to preview all student displays such as the parade to see that they were not too out of taste. The failure of any of the major athletic teams to win consistently rated as number eight in the list of stories. The year 1962 was the first full year after the de-emphasis rulings, and only minor sports teams were able to take any championships. The basketball team lost its first game in the ACC tournament and finished with a losing season. The baseball team finished last in the conference, and the football team won only three games, losing in the last minute to Duke by 1&-14. The outstanding 22 Students Will Attend Y Assembly By Martin Kruming Some 1,200 students from 400 YMCA and YWCA organizations will gather at the University of Illinois Dec. 27 through Jan. 2 for the National Student Assembly. Twenty-two Carolina YMCA and YWCA members will leave Chapel Hill by chartered bus Dec. 26 and return the afternoon of Jan. 2 Three delegates from.' Louisburg College and two from Duke will also make the trip. The National Student Assembly Is held every four years and students from colleges through out the country meet to discuss national and world problems. The Assembly program will in clude leaders in education, re ligion, and political and interna tional affairs. James Grant, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State, will lead a dis cussion on "The World in Revolu tion." "Challenges to the Democratic Idea" will be the speech delivered by Indiana congressman John Bra demas. "I really have been impressed with the seriousness of the dele gates," said UNC chairman Ju dy Bryant. "The attendance at the meeting has been excellent. I feel that the Carolina delega tion will be prepared for active participation in all aspects of the Assembly," she added. Claude Shotts and Anne Queen, general secretary of the YMCA and YWCA respectively, will accom pany the Carolina delegation. The UNC group includes Carole Ansley, Priscilla Bennett, Judy Bryant (chairman), Laurie Clark, Carolyn Eubanks, Frances Goins, Lou Jay, Lucy Kennedy, Ginger Khinaird, Sue Russell and Louise Scherchardt (from the YWCA); Essa Abdullah, Bruce Cooper, Tom Gruehn, Alan Hiffman, Robert Mc Call, Kellis Parker, Gil Stallings (president of the YWCA), Scott Trull, and Dwight Wheless (from the YMCA). Grievance Committee Besieged By Gripes Of Students In Ehringhaus Dorm Meeting By Mike McGee The U. P. Grievance recently heard various problems submit ted to members of the Commit tee by the residents of Ehringhaus., The permanent members of thej committee present were Marshall , Bellovin, Rex Savery, Bob Claw-j son, and Dee Johnson. The temp-j orary members included Ford Ro wan and John Mitchener, and Rus sell Perry, dorm manager. Several residents oi Ehringhaus were asked for comments con-j cerning the grievances.. The for-, mal grievances are as follows, amended by ' student comment' where applicable: j (1) The Ehringhaus library has no books: "Plans are being made! tn have the books before the end: of the semester," said an editor of the dorm newspaper. (2) There is a need tor a direct path from Craige dorm to campus.) (3) The Daily xar neei is nui, athletic team of the year was the tennis team, which went undefeat ed until its last match of the year, The biggest win of any Carolina team during the year? Last Mon day's 68-66 win over Kentucky in basketball would have to fit that description. The ninth biggest story was the return of the University Party to the Student Body administra tion and the dominance of the Student Party in class offices. Inman Allen defeated Dwight Wheless for student president by 340 votes. Mike Lawler won over Larry McDevitt to put an SP man in the vice-president's chair. Two independents who were later to declare themselves leaders in a leftist organization ran very weakly, but forced a runoff in the close vice-presidential race. Tenth was the SvmDOsium. which drew many speakers to the campus to lecture on themes' drawn from "Today's Revolu tions." Among the visitors were; Senator Gale McGhee of Wyom-j ing, columnist James Reston, and; historian Crane Brinton. i .No Action Taken kt Special Meet By JOEL BULKLEY Student Legislature failed to con sider any legislation in its brief Special Session Monday night. The session, petitioned for by Student Party Chairman Robin Britt and lo SL representatives,! in order to consider the $4600 stu dent bus bill, was adjourned five minutes after it was called to order. INo one present could sup ply any information about the bill.

The campus expanded further to the south with the opening of Craige and Ehringhaus dorms. Construction on classroom build ings went on all during the year. A Peace Corps school was set up here for 10 weeks to train 33 volunteers for service in Spanish America.

(14) Washing machines are need ed in the dorm: "They would be a 'convenience', but are a luxury item," everyone agreed.
