This statement might well sum up the feelings of the Daily Tar Heel staff, except that today is not just another day. Today . the Daily Tar Heel celebrates its seventieth birhtday. The first issue appeared on Thursday, February 23, 1303. This was just over a hundred years "after the university lirst opened its doors. In those early days, and for 30 years thereafter, the paper was financed by the Athletic Association. It was, designed to promote and report athletic events, and was published on a weekly basis in Durham. Charles Easkerville, the first editor, found trouble during the first month of the paper's life. The lion-fraternity staff members, agitated over the paper's pro-fraternity policy, pulled out and es tablished a rival paper I the White and Blue which tried un successfully to abolish not only the Tar Heel, but fraternities as well. . Five years after the founding, color was first used in the Tar Heel. The entire paper was printed h royal blue ink, proclaim ing the victory of the Carolina fcotball team over Virginia for the championship of the South. In bold blue headlines the game was 4 I . SPORTING NEWS, CAROLINA STYLE In 1896 The Tar Heel carried baseball news, and a lot of it. While a DTII editor puts out today's birthday edition, he reads how the '96 Tar Heels made out on the diamond. In its beginning, the paper was a weekly issued by the Athletic Association.

Today they are scheduled to tour Dey Hall at 10:45 a.m. and then meet with graduate and faculty women in Cobb Dormitory. At 12:30 p.m. they will attend a luncheon in the North Room of Lenoir Hall, to which all women students have been invited. A stu dent fashion show will be held at that time, featuring UNC coeds modeling campus attire. - A tour of the School of Public Health will conclude their visit. Last night they dined in Spencer Dormitory, attended a program presented by campus women's or ganizations at Consolidated Univer sity President William C. Friday's house and attended a dormitory house meeting. Roy Rabon Is Prize Winner For Writing Roy Rabon, a February gradu ate of UNC from Marion, was among the winners named today in the William Randolph Hearst Foundation's third annual Journ alism Awards Program. Rabon, who placed twelfth in the competition, will receive a Wil liam Randolph Hearst Foundation Scroll. The Hearst Foundation is award ing $40,900 in scholarships and srants to winners in the program this year... The foundation is now conducting writing competition in "Spot News" among the 43 Ameri can Association of Schools arl Denartments of Journalism in the United States. li fii-p T-J r - .y-n-7 termed "the greatest game ever played on a Southern gridiron!" Scathing editorials against the' existing dilapidated gym and abuse of the library appeared in 1899. In that year the paper recorded the birth of organized cheering at athletic contests, giving the of ficial school cheer as "Popsy-Wopsy, Tinkly-Tee, Vivela, Vivela, UNC."" The first coed joined the staff as managing editor in 1901 when J. C. B, Ehringhaus, later governor of the state, was editor. Photo graphs were first used the following year. Prior" to that time, only sketches and drawings broke the monotony of type. "Overwork and tired 'eyes" caused Frank P. Graham, (later president of the University) to resign in 1007 after one semester as editor. The next year saw editor O. W; flyman turn the Tar Heel into a six-page semi-weekly. Two years later, lack of funds changed it again into a weekly. " . . Wartime Editor W.H.. Stephenson holds the record for the short est editorial term one week. , He wag ' elected in the "spring of 1918 to take" oLice ki the fall, put during. the summer he enrolled! in aviation school in New York. His firsU-and last editorials, were mail ed to the paper: in early September. '.'-':. r .: ' i- -. 5 . The next week , the Athletic Association . replaced him with For rest Miles, who immediately gave the paper a military character -and initiated small type in order to cram six pages of material into four pages of type. ' Within the month, Uncle Sam also snatched Miles away, and Man aging Editor Thomas Wolfe (Look Homeward Angel . . .) was faced with the job of editing the weekly, Wolfe, desperate for staff mem bers, held a write-in-25-words-or-less-why-you-would-like-to-be-editor contest and thereby filled the vacant staff positions. (Miles returned in January and reclaimed nis position. But Wolfe, who enjoyed the job, ran for editor in the spring and took office in October, 1919. He enlarged the editorial section, crusaded against campus thievery, and campaigned for the return to a semi-weekly printing. Wolfe's successor, Daniel Grant, made the Tar Heel into a semi weekly and erlarged it tj the present size of 17x23 inches. In the same year the paper helped found the N. C. Collegiate Press Association, and for the first time the words "official organ of the Athletic Association" were removed from the nameplafe. In 1922 the Tar Heel moved from Durham to Chapel Hill for printing purposes and the paper was released from the control of the Athletic Association. The paper was henceforth published by Stu dent Government under the auspices of the newly-formed Pub lications sBoard. Walter Spearman, (now a UNC journalism professor) inherited a tri-wcekly paper and added the first regular sports page in 1928. He led an editorial fight against the rival Yellow Journal a scan dal sheet circulated by Sigma Upsilon literary, fraternity. Spearman relinquished his position (who left school one month Jaler 1 j;i (JUIH llcXL ' TjL kiy tV Lll i'c 1 agaiu Viunug iiivjt.i cats.7t, Spearman's second term saw the transition to a daily paper and the addition of that word to the nameplate. Voted in by a 666-148 student body vote, the debut as a daily came " during the three days of commencement instead of waiting until fall, as a tribute to visiting alumni and departing seniors. Holder returned in September, adding telegraphic service to the Tar Heel. In 1943 the Tar Heel once again assumed a military character and was returned to weekly status. When Walter Damtoft was called into military service during his first month as editor, Kat Hill was elected to finish his term and become the first female editor of the paper in its first 50 years of publication. The following year Editor Horace Carter joiner the Navy, leaving another coed, Muriel Richtcr, to assume the editorship. A freshman, Robert Morrison, was elected editor two years later and still holds the record as the youngest Tar Heel editor. Al though defeated for re-election, he returned the paper to a daily and published the first "extra" edition (occasioned by Franklin Roosevelt's death). During the war years, when staff turnover was greatest, one staff member found himself defeated for editor on four different oc casions. Graham Jones (now the Governor's press secretary), in the spring of 1050 became the enly editor to flunk out of school while editing the paper and return the following fall to graduate with a Phi Beta Kappa key. Roy Parker, not Jones, edited the paper that fall, adding comics and a syndicated column. The first and last peacetime female editor of the Tar Heel was iMiss Glenn Harden, daughter of former staff member John Harden, who was elected to the post by a 2-1 majority in 1951. The Tar Heel stepped into one of its major controversies of the past decade when the Supreme Court desegregation decision of 1954 was handed down. In line with the policy of previous DTH editors, Charles Kuralt (now with CBS-TV) editorially supported the decision in the iface of considerable criticism. In 1956 came the most controversial fight in which the Tar Heel ever became embroiled. Co-Editors Louis Kraar (now with Time magazine) and Ed Yoder (now with Greensboro Daily News) con ducted a hard campaign against the University hiring "big-time coach" Jim Tatum. Tatum's friends struck back hard they organized the first "recall" election in the Tar Heel's history in an attempt to get rid of the. editors, but Kraar-Yoder won the election. (A year-ard-a-half later the Tar Heel saw its second recall elec tionthis one successful. Neil Bass was accused of libeling certain members of the faculty and student body and making malicious and untrue statements. Doug Eisele won the recall. Curtis Gans became editor in 1958 and was succeeded by Davis Young the following year. Jonathan Yardley (now with the New York Times) took over in 1960. Wayne King assumed the editorship the following year with Chuck Wrye and Jim Clotielter taking over last May.

In the first case a student said the accused took part of the Psv chology. 26 final exam with his notebook open on the desk beside him. He said the defendant had left the exam with his quiz and notebook. He did not see the de. fendant actually copy from his notebook The defendant admitted havins his notebook open and having left me exam, but denied that he had referred to the notebook during the exam. He was found not guilty. In the second case two boys were reported for collaborating on a Sociology 62 final exam. Their processor had noted similarities near the end of their two quizzes. The two boys had studied to gether using the same notes and the same underlined passages in the text. There were numerous contradictions between the testi mony of the professor and that of the two boys. They were also tound not guilty. In the third case a freshman pleaded guilty to a plagiarism charge. He admitted taking and copying the theme of another stu dent and turning it in as his own. He later turned himself in to the Attorney General. He was found guilty and sent enced to definite probation for iwo academic semesters. Under this sentence he cannot partici pate in extra-curriculars or of. ficially represent the University in any way. Any further violation of the code, while under &is sentence, would result in his suspension. He also received an automatic F in tnc course.

There were no similarities when the pa pers were compared, .and the Coun cil found the defendant not guilty. France Again Stops British Entrv In ECM BRUSSELS (UPI) France us ed its veto a second time Monday to dash British hopes of join ing the European Common Market. Officials said the new veto prob- aoiy will kill further moves by other members to permit British entry. The French opposition came on an obscure legal point but this only served to underscore the strength of President Charles de Gaulle's feeling that Britain is not ready to join the six-nation bloc. The new French move was made unexpectedly after the council of ministers of the six common Mar ket nations meeting here had switched its agenda to avert a head-on clash with France ki the wake of De Gaulle's original veto of British membership last Jan. 29. French Voice Opposition At Monday's meeting first such gathering since the French torpedoed Britain's application, the French delegation said the Eu ropean Parliament, which meets in Strasbourg, France had no right o ask the market's council of min isters to keep up contact with Britain. The French also said the Stras bourg assembly had no right to ask the market's executive com mission to draw up a Ddiduce sheet covering the aborted nego tiations on British membership.
