Seventy Years Of Editorial Freedom Offices In Graham Memorial Mental Health Program Is Urged By JFK WASHINGTON ( UPI ) President Kennedy asked Congress Tuesday to approve radical new plans to prevent mental retardation and to cut the nation's mental cases in half within the next 10 to 20 years. The President, whose sister Rose mary is under care for a mental handicap, asked specifically for creation of hundreds of comprehen sive community mental health cen ters throughout the nation. The plan would require Congress to approve spending $31.3 million this session. With the participation of states, the bill would run into hundreds of millions of dollars. First Congressional reaction to j the Kennedy messsage was warm. ! Speaker John W. McCormack, D- Mass., said it "points the way for; a compassionate people to extend' a helping hand to those who must j depend so much on their fellow men." Sen. Ralph Yarborough, D-Tex., said the message was "timely," coming when a "new national ap proach is badly needed." He com mended Kennedy for filling a "great void of national friendship" in the field of mental health. Mindful of Expenses The President said he was mind ful cf the need to hold down ex penses on new programs at a time when he was asking for tax cuts and deficits in his $98.8 billion bud get. But Kennedy said "for too long the shabby treatment of the many millions of- the mentally disabled in custodial institutions and many millions more now in communities needing help has been justified on grounds of inadequate funds, fur ther studies and future promises." "We can proscrastinate no more," Kennedy said. . The depth of Kennedy's feeling about mental health obviously stemmed partly from the fact that he has a sister who has long been under private care for a mental handicap suffered at birth. He said many mental hospitals and homes are so understaffed, un-1 pleasant and - overcrowded that "death too often provided the only firm hope of release" for the men tally ffl. But now. Kennedy said, new knowledge and drugs "make it pos sible for most of the mentally ill to be successfully and quickly treated in their own communities." He said the community health centers, based for instance in local general hospitals, would "return mental health care to the main stream of American medicine." They will allow present community mental services to be focused on the problem and permit patients to be treated in their own environ ment, he said. Proposed Four Bills Kennedy proposed four pieces of new legislation for this session of Congress. 1. Grants to the states beginning in fiscal 1965 for establishment of comprehensive community mental health centers with the federal gov ernment providing from 45 to 75 per cent of the project costs and short-term grants for initial staf fing costs. The federal government would provide up to 75 per cent of costs in early months and phase (Continued on page 3) Star Finds Rhinoceros Role Demands Quick Skin Change By GORDON CLARK There's a fellow here whose re spect for the rhinoceros is pretty unshakable. He's actor John Crockett, and he must become one of the roaring, robust pachyderms in fifteen minutes flat every night. Crockett is playing Jean, the role that rocketed Zero Mostel to star dom on Broadway, in The Caro lina Playmakers tour production of "Rhinoceros." The Eugene Ionesco satiric comedy will run at the Playmakers Theatre Feb. 13-17 before going to several North! Carolina and Georgia cities. This exhausting role isn t the kind that Crockett or any ether actor plays very often, and it s; ViHnrinr' shout some changes m Sill ' ' his life. For one thing, he nas to do physical exercises on stage, and this requires some outside prac tice. "My wife she's a former physi cal education teacher has been teaching me how to do push-ups," Crockett says.

Bud Broome, Y.R.C. President, noted that the award would be given annually for "outstanding campus leadership in the Repub lican tradition." He said, "Ford Rowan has worked hard to streng then local government around campus ; for example, in the dorms." "In addition, Rowan has work ed with G.M. to present discus sions on current topics," Broome added. In receiving the award, Rowan expressed his appreciation and commended the Y.R.C. for "stim ulating political thought among students, and providing an outlet for non-extremist action." After the presentation delegates were elected to represent Caro lina at the State Young Repub lican Convention to be held this weekend in Winston-Salem. A res olution will be presented by UNC favoring a broad-based tax on tobacco. Pearsall Group Recommends 5 -Part Plan For University By VANCE BARRON The UNC Board of Trustees has unanimously accepted the recom mendations of the Pearsall Com mittee for making changes in the name and scope of the Consolidated University and providing for a pro gram of future expansion. The Pearsall Committee, of the UNC Board of Trustees, made its report to the trustees in a special meeting of January 25, 1963. The committee was set up in order to study the findings of Governor San- ford's special Commission on Edu: cation Beyond the High School. The recommendations of the Pear sall Committee were set forth in a five-point program, providing for a new statutory definition of the Consolidated University as the pri mary state-supported educational in stitution, the establishment of co education on all campuses of the University, the authorization cf the Board of Trustees to expand the University to include a community college system, the establisnment of a degree program in liberal arts at State College, and the for. mal designation of all units of the Consolidated University as branches of the single University of North Carolina. Under the last provision State College is to be designated "North Carolina State, The Univer sity of North Carolina at Raleigh." Of the five recommendations, three must be approved by the Gen eral Assembly. These are change of statutory definition, the estab lishment of additional campuses, and the name changes of the units o the Consolidated University. The latter proposal is the most contro versial and represents a compro mise from the original proposal to desianate State College as the Playmakers recent production o "Guys and Dolls." He played Horace Vandergelder in the group's tour production of "The Match maker" last vear. When asked if he used the! "mntVin" trr- Wis: m an.tn.rh i nnrprn?

Opponents of that desig nation, mostly alumni and students, wanted instead the name, "North Carolina State University." Ac cording to the Pearsall report, the new names express the "spirit of unity and common purpose on the three campuses."

The men were identified only as Akakiyev, the di rector, and Tereminov, the mana ger of the Sverdlovsk Railway Sta tion Hotel. It said 55 accomplices received prison terms of up to 15 years. j The radio said Akakiyev invented an automatic fryer which saved two or three grams of fat on each pie. The savings were not passed on to the customers but were shar ed by Akakiyev and his accom plices. Akakiyev pocketed more than $400 a month, it said. Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, spiritual fathers of the Soviet Union, were strongly opposed to capital punishment but executions are carried out frequently now, with about half of the victims Jews. The death sentence is on Soviet statute books for a number of crimes, including aggravated mur der and rape but executions for these crimes seldom are publicized. But the Soviet Union reports death sentences and executions for per sons who have been convicted of bribe taking, theft. These embezzlement and are defined as eco- nomic crimes against the state. In the past three weeks, death sentences have been reported for men who embezzled or stole sums A Western expert who has kept count of the announcements in the j Soviet press said 136 persons were sentenced to death in the 12 months ending Dec. 31, 1962. He estimated the actual total might be 50 per cent higher. Death by shooting for economic crimes were reinstituted in May, 1961. Since the revolution, capital punishment decrees have been but except executions have been a part cf Soviet life. . Soviet authorities, often sensitive to foreign criticism for extending capital punishment to what the j West considers non-capital crimes, ! explains it by saying such econom CHAPEL HILL, N.

He con trasted the Committee's recom mendations with the Consolidation Act of 1931, stating that the Con solidation Act was an attempt to "avoid duplication" in the face of limited financial resources. The challenge to the University of to day in a growing economy and ppplation, he said, is to "duplicate" and "expand educational opportuni ties for the people of the state. First, a new statutory definition of the University that would estab lish the University as the "primary state institution of academic re search and the only one authorized to award the doctor's degree" was recommended for enactment by the General Assembly. This definition was stated to be a "conditional pre cedent" to all other recommended changes. Second, the committee recom-: mended that co-education be estab lished on all campuses of the Uni versity. The Committee felt that this step was necessary, for such "restrictions are inconsistent with the concept of a modern univer sity." Male day students are at present attending Woman's College in Greensboro and dormitory space for male students is planned, though not for the "immediate future." The University at Chapel Hill will admit limited numbers of fresh man and sophomore women, espec ially in programs in fine arts and music where such limitations pre vent "full utilization of the educa tional resources." Both" institutions at Chapel Hill and Raleigh will be opened more widely to women stu dents and commuter students. Third, the Committee recommend ed the expansion of the existing community colleges at Wilmington, Charlotte and Asheville into four- year institutions and "commended" the University to support fully the development of these schools to "maximum usefulness." The Com mittee strongly urged the authoriza tion of a degree program in the liberal arts at the Raleigh campus, stating that "the University of North Carolina (must) take steps to see that on each of its campuses opportunities are made available to provide the breadth of education al experience consistent with the standards of the University." Fourth, the Committee recom mended that the statutes be amended to authorize the Board of Trustees to establish aditional units of the University on new campuses" when careful study warrants such actions." Such a study was urged as soon as legislative authorization could be obtained. Finally, the Committee recom mended that one name be adopted for the single University of North Carolina with its three campuses Under this proposal, still to be ap proved by "the General Assembly, the three institutions would be call ed the "University of North Caro lina at Greensboro," the Univer sity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill," and "North Carolina State, the University of North Carolina at Raleigh." The recommendations were all initiated by the administration ofJ the University, with the exception of the proposed establishment of new campuses for the University. Proxy Pickups Of BB Ducats Disallowed By MICKEY BLACKWELL '.'Students were scalping tickets all over campus, and in general were abusing the privilege, so we had to go back to our old plan." . Those were the words of Vernon Crook, Business Manager of Ath letics, as he revealed yesterday that students will no longer be al lowed to carry other students' ID cards to the gym to pick up bas ketball tickets for them. ) Crook said that the Department of Athletics had started the ex perimental plan this year because they had had numerous requests from fraternities who wanted to sit in a group at the game. They argued that they would be able to support and cheer the team on better if they were sitting to gether. Crook pointed out that if the Athletic Dept. let fraternities do this, then they would be obligated to let the dormitories do it too. "So, we tried this plan for a while, Crook said. "It was bad from the start, and it was awful ior the Duke game. "The Duke tickets went on sale at 8:30 a.m. and every one of them was gone by 10:35. That is the fastest I have ever seeri-them move, and it was because almost everyone was getting several ad ditional tickets. One boy even pre sented 40 ID cards and we had no choice but to let him have the tickets." Crook said there was "a tremen dous number of complaints from students, faculty and townsfolk because of the lack of available tickets." "The main reason we went back to the old plan was really to pro tect the student. It was the only thing we could do," he added. Negotiations On Euromart Called Vital BONN (UPI) Chancellor Kon- rad Adenauer, in a statement that appeared to clash directly with his ally President Charles de Gaulle, said Tuesday British Com mon Market membership must be negotiated and concluded." It was the second West German broadside against De Gaulle of the day. In Strasbourg, France, German Walter Hallstein, presi dent of the Common Market, said the trade bloc must not be used as an instrument of anyone's na tional diplomacy. In West Berlin, university stu dents demonstrated against De Gaulle's rejection of Britain's bid to join the common market. About 1,500 students marched through the streets chanting "Europe is not seeking a new fuehrer." Students demonstrated Monday in Bonn and .Munich. The Soviet Union sharply at tacked both France and West Ger many for their recently concluded treaty of cooperation. Notes deliv ered to the French and German envoys in Moscow attacked the treaty in "very strong terms,' especially the provisions for mill tary cooperation.

Mc .Namara Calls GOilr tatement On Ar his WASHINGTON UPI) The de bate over the extent of the Soviet buildup in Cuba turned into a full political storm Tuesday with both Democrats and Republicans in vestigations to clear the air of charges and counter-charges. Amid the battling, came a re port that Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara told the House Armed Services Committee Mon day that some recent Republican statements on the Russian build up were "Irresponsible" and "dis graceful." Indications were that President Kennedy would make a statement on the Cuban situation at his All-Frosh Dorm Plans Abandoned By MICKEY BLACKWELL The all-freshman dorm probably won't be used next year, according to the office of the Dean of Men. Dallas Cameron, Assistant Dean of Men, said that the idea evi dently was not a very good one. "At first, just about everyone thought that the all-freshman dorm would turn out allright. We thought maybe the upperclassmen might have an adverse effect on incoming freshmen. But we see now that the upperclassmen ac tually act as a stabilizing factor toward the freshman." At the present . time, the Dean of Men and his assistants are making a survey to compare the all-freshman dorms,' "Ehringhaus and Grimes, with the other dorms where freshmen are grouped with Tv.- . . . , . , . . .'

In the face of Republican claims that the Pentagon was underesti mating the extent of current So viet military strength in Cuba, the White House said the situation had not changed since Jan. 24, the President's last news conference. The President said then: "The best information we have is that one ship has arrived since the Oc tober crisis, which may have arms cn it, possibly military cargo. But there has not been a military build up in that sense of the equipment coming in from outside Cuba. There is no evidence that this ship "There have been many vary ing opinions on the all-freshman dorm, but as it looks right now, we probably won't have them next year," Cameron said. Ehringhaus President Ford Rowon said that Ehringhaus's pro gram would have been "much improved" if upperclassmen had been present to "aid freshmen in adapting to a college community." Students Like Dixie Classic, UP Poll Shows Students avored the return the Dixie Classic in a poll con- ducted W the University Party at the Duke-Carolina game last Saturday. Eighty-seven per cent of those answering the question- naire like the Classic. Other questions asked by the UP poll concerned the scheduling of athletic events during the holi days and the method of using the ACC Tournament to select the ACC Basketball Champion. Sixty- three per cent of the students vot ed against holiday scheduling and 75 per cent voted against the ACC Tournament. Poll Committee Chairman Gerry Grosball said that 1,500 question naires were distributed during the ball game and that this should represent a good cross-section cl the campus. He added, "We plan to continue to poll the campus on subjects of importance to the students. The information gathered will be made available to Student Government and will be used by the University Party in making up its platform.

MODELS NEEDED Men and women are needed to pose for life drawing class from UPI Wire Service Cuban carried any offensive weapons." ! Press Secretary Pierre Salinger said Tuesday that "the situation ;has not changed since then." This was in contrast to state ments made by Sen. Kenneth B. Keating, R.-N.Y., and Sen. Strom Thurmond, D.-S.C, that the Pen tagon has underestimated the So viet buildup in its public disclo sures. Keating's statements brought a 'charge Tuesday from Rep. Samuel S. Stratton, D.-N.Y., that the sena tor "has been guilty of disgrace ful irresponsibility in his frantic efforts to set headlines bv pre tending he knows more about what is going on in Cuba today than do the properly designated intel- ligenced agencies of our depart ment of Defense." Denounced Congressman McNamara, similarly, was said to have angrily denounced the Cuban comments of some congress men when he appeared before the House Committee Monday. The storm over the buildup led Senate Democratic Whip Hubert H. Humphrey to propose open Senate hearings. The Minnesota Democrat said administration critics really are questioning the competency of the Central Intel- igence Agency. He added that "the worst thing that- can be done is to create un certainty, doubt or suspicion" about the nation's defense situa tion. A partisan debate raged for a half hour on the House floor. Rep. William E. Minshall, R.-Ohio, de manded a "full-scale House-Senate sible investigation" of the Bay of Pigs episode and of the whole United States intelligence picture. He asked: "Are we going to re- fsign ourselves forever to the pres- of ence of a pesthole of Soviet propa ganda, subversion and infiltration just 90 miles from our shore." Rep. J. Arthur Younger, R. Calif., called for action to rescue Americans still held in Castro jails. Kennedy Said Close To Canadian Crisis WASHINGTON (UPI) Presi dent Kennedy is keeping in cloe touch with the developing politi cal crisis in Canada through con tacts with the State Department and U.S. Embassy in Ottawa, the White House said Tuesday. At the same time, informed sources reported that the United States would not be drawn any further into Canada's dispute over nuclear weapons even if the U.S. position should be distorted dur ing a Canadian election campaign. These sources said it was felt that a State Department state ment last week laid down the U.S. position. The statement was is sued because American officials thought this country's nuclear po sition had been misstated during a Canadain House of Commons de bate.
