Seventy Years Of Editorial Freedom Offices In Graham Memorial CHAPEL HILL, NORTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 9, 1963 UPI Wire Service ORUM AGUE TO UCK FUL mm Protest Made To Agent In Letter By Kinnon McLamb Carolina Forum Chairman IIi ry Mayer has notified William , F. Buckley Jr. and Buckley's agent that the full $450 fee will be paid for his controversial Dec. 10 speech, although he told him "we most assuredly feel that your mor al obligation to The Forum has not been met." i The concession followed nearly a month of controversy and cor respondence between Buckley and Mayer, who charged that the con servative editor of the National Review had violated the spirit of the contract by reading from an article published in Playboy mag azine. Buckley had been expected to speak on the topic, "Freedom and the Welfare State." In a letter addressed to Mrs. 'M. Catharine Babcock, Buckley's agent, Mayer stated that although the Fcrum does not believe that it has been treated fairly, it does not intend to counter such conduct with undignified behavior of its own. "We will ' therefore" honor our written contract to pay Mr. Buck ley $450 for his Chapel Hill par ticipation," Mayer added. The letter was written after con sultation with Inman Allen, student foody president, and Student Body .Vice-President Mike Lawier. Following is the full text of the letter: l"Dear airs. Babcock: "You have denied the Carolina Forum's application - for an ad- be bowed Tuesday to secretary justmcnt of Mr. William F. Buck- General Thant's ultimatum to re ley's fee on frounds tht..your sUre , ce in bi agency only obligated itsett to . - -- " 'f-j produce 'Mr.-:-Bickley tot :4parUcVlI?lo?1ac; IPov Ration in a program.' The contract Xne ultimatum of Dec. 31 gave to which you refer also contains) Tshombe two weeks u negotiate 111(3, piiiciat;, ii me csuuvc la in a- Icord with your understanding,' and since our understanding was that the program was to have been a lecture by Mr. Buckley, The Forum is not at ail certain that this obligation has been faithfully discharged. "We requested Mr. Buckley's services as a professional lectur er. We selected a topic, 'Freedom and the Welfare State,' from Mr. IBuckley's standard set of lectures. IWe heard, however, the reading of an article currently available in. published form. A lecture is a specific formulation of a speaker's views presented orally to an audi ence. Regardless of the age of the speech, or the number of times it has been delivered, it is unique because it is a presenta tion not elsewhere available. The reading of a published article , is not a lecture. The distinction should be clear. "If, in requesting permission to deviate from the original lecture topic, Mr. Buckley had explain ed to me that his alternative was the Playboy article, I would not have accepted the change. No such explanation was offered, and consequently, The iForum believes that JVIr. Buckley's participation was not in accordance with our understanding. Thus, although the written obligation to appear on a program may have been met, uie understanding concerning our con traded lecture was not honorably fulfilled. "It is indeed a pity that The Forum's business discussion with vour agency had been distended & discolored by the lengthy letter air. Buckley addressed to the UNC Student Body. You, if uot your employee, realize that The Forum is questioning only our contract ed understanding and is not lm- tolving anv substantive criticism of either a personal or political nature of Mr. Buckley's reading "In arrangements of this sort, both parties have obligations both written and understood, wnicn should be met. Although The For um does not believe that it has been treated fairly, it does not in tend to ccunter such conduct with undignified behavior of its own. We will therefore, honor our writ ten obligation to pay Mr. Buckley $130 for his Chapel Hill participa tion, aJlhough we most assuredly feel that your moral obligation to The Forum has not been met. Our business is to promote student dis cussion through the presentation cf controversial speakers. Youi business is business, and I would as sume that both organizations have acted in a manner befitting their respective functions. "Sincerely yours, "Henry E.

He was promptly snubbed by United Nations Un J der Secretary Ralph Bunche. , It appeared that Tshombe had! waited too late to save his tot tering regime although his gen darmerie was reported to have Dut teeth in his threats of a scorched earth policy by mining the dams and power stations he still controls at Kolwezi. Bunche advanced his departure several hours to avoid the em barrassment of telling Tshombe he did not want to see him. Bunche was backed by Secretary General Thant who put Tshombe on notice the U. N. would have no dealings with him unless he proclaims his allegiance to the central Congolese government. The Belgian-owned Union Mini ere in a statement issued in Brus sels indicated Tshombe might have a powerful bargaining weapon.

Federal Jury Jjoohs Over Walker Case OXFORD, Miss. (UPI) A fed eral grand jury met behind closed doors Tuesday to consider charges brought against Maj. Gen. Edwin Walker and 10 others arrested in connection with the University of Mississippi rioting. For the first time in the history of the Northern Mississippi Federal District, two women were included on the 16 member panel that will decide whether indictments should be re turned. Those taken into custody timing the "Ole Miss" rioting were con fronted with a wide variety of charges, including rebellion, insur rection and conspiracy to oppose the authority of the United States. The violence broke out when U. S. marshals, acting under fed eral court order, escorted James H. Meredith the first Negro stu dent in the school's history onto campus. Meredith hinted Monday, he would not remain at the univer sity next semester unless "definite and positive changes are made." He did not specify exactly what he had in mind, but apparently re ferred to the harassment wiuch he says had made it difficult for him to study. m A crowd of about 200 student jeered the Negro student Monday shortly after he made the state ment. They taunted him with shouts of "goodbye -James," and "publicity hound." By Tuesday, however, things had calmed down again and HTwredith t Z a few star as waS JLOOli. San lor Governor M ore Cooperation By HARRY W. LLOYD Governor Terry Sanford yesterday asked the UNC faculty to take a greater interest in the furthering of every phase of North Carolina's education program. "All projects," he said, "from the lowly illiterate's needs to the problem of awarding doctoral degrees, should fall ' within your sphere of interest." The Governor spoke to the mem- bers of the Faculty Club in the club's lounge. '"The faculty member cannot shut himself off from the needs of the state," Sanford said. "Our problems are your problems, and your problems are ours." The Governor spoke to quell dis-j turbance that has arisen over the: problem of further consolidation of the university system in the state. "As the University becomes lar ger and more complex, and as the problems of the State become more pressing, the relationship between the University and the State cer tainly is going to change," he said "That is part of a frontier situa tion, for we are not finished with either state or university, nor hve we defined finally the rela. tionship which binds them togeth er. Free from Pressure ; "Let me assure you that I well understand that the University must insist on its right to be free of political nagging and pressure; at the same time, it must be bound by loyalty to the life of the peo ple." The Governor said that , the Uni versity must realize its dual re sponsibility by binding itself to the people of the state, but never theless looking beyond this state's borders to "the larger community of learning." "This involves the balance be tween what is old and what is new," he said. It is not part of the old concept of universities that this relationship between a people and a university be so close. Yet it "is part of the older concepts of this University. Areas of Concern "I invite you to participate ev en more fully in the solutions which must be found for our peo ple in the State and South, as we move toward the 21st century." He mentioned three areas of concern for each faculty member, so that each citizen of the state might be given" a chance to de velop fully all that is his own." The first area was that of adult education. "I take the statistics concerning the illiteracy rate of our people, and I worry about them. So do many of you," he said. "I believe your response is what in the world can we do?' Most of us hold with Edward Kidder Gra ham when in 1915 in his inaugural speech he said that the State Un iversity is the instrument of de mocracy for realizing all of the high and healthful aspirations of the State.' " Sanford praised the local ef S"T Christian Athletes H CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP George Norris, former UNC foot ball player, will speak tonight at 10 p.m. in the lounge of Parker Dormitory on "My Experience With God."

"Later we hope to have 'Jones University at Asheville,' or other North Caro lina cities. I don't think we could get a Jones University at Ra leigh." Secondly, he asked for efforts to improve public school educa tion, which must come, he said, with an increase in the number of teachers. He said that the Univers ity had not been meeting its quota as regards . to training the proper number of teachers. . Schools Related 'The University and the public schools are related, are blood kin," he said. "The University is resourced in the public schools, and the public schools are re sourced in the University. They go up or down together," he said, quoting Frank Graham's inaugur al address. The third plank he mentioned was that of university extension work. "We need to give more and better instruction to ambitious adults who never got to college." In this field we stressed the im portance of educational television,! night schools, and the .Extension Division of the University. "Just as our problems are im mense, our opportunities are great Our people are ready to move ahead. We will need your help every step of the way, your help as thinkers, as teachers, as citi zens. We will need the help of Carolina alumni, who will, I trust, continue to have the same inclina tion toward state service which has so distinctly marked past gen erations of alumni of this institu tion. That inclination will be born, if it is, in your classrooms."

C SLIM Fac mm Sanford Speaks To Profs Congress Session WASHINGTON (UPI) The Democratic - controlled 88th Con gress opens Wednesday with Pres ident Kennedy apparently assur ed of victory in his first test of strength a battle for control of the powerful House Rules Com mittee. At a pre-opening party caucus, House Democrats overwhelmingly endorsed the President's request that the committee be kept at 15 members. This would assure the administration enough votes to block any committee attempt to pigeon-hole Kennedy legislation. House Republicans were set to oppose what they called the President's attempt to "pack" the committee. But with some defec tions expected on both sides, a Kennedy triumph appeared like ly at the opening day showdown. The test was scheduled to come shortly after Speaker John W. IMcCormack, D-Mass., gavels the 258 House Democrats and 176 Re publicans to order at noon. Demo cratic leaders predicted an admin istration victory by at least 10 votes five more than in a similar 1961 test.
