The post-concert champagne party at St. Anthony Hall slowed down at 1 a.m. Saturday when the champagne ran out and the girls ad to be in. Four of Count Basie's band mem bers had dropped by the party earlier but without the tools of their trade. At about one a.m. three ether Basie players showed up, fully arm ed, and were joined by the drum mer and the base player from Bob Smith's local combo. The atmosphere was drugged with too much cigarette smoke, the let doun as the champagne wore off, too many hours of partying for the listeners and too many weeks on the road fcr the Basie players. 4X - ft miss. Go-Ahead To Play Seventh-rank-Lansing, JACKSON (UPI) led Mississippi State was given the go-ahead Saturday to participate in I the NCAA basketball tournament ! after a hot controversy over the team competing against Negro play- ers. The state College Board, which governs all .state-supported schools voted 8-3 to abandon the state's long-standing policy of prohibiting participating against teams with Ne gro athletes.

" m i Dormitory Spotlight: Avery Avery, led by President Ronnie Aycock and editor Harry Tocce of the Avery Alibi, prides itself in varying and progressive programs. Few dorms have been more active. Already there has been a dance with Cobb, and another dance is planned with the nurses for this spring. There was an open house after each home football game. At homecoming Avery had a dis play and sponsored Miss Becky Lmvc in the Homecoming 'Beauty contest. It also had two candidates in the Yack Beauty Contest. Avery will continue to sponsor the "King for a Day", contest. In intramurals, Avery has had great participation. It had nine teams in the Grail Mural, and now has three bowling teams. Both the football and the basketball teams made the playoffs. By starting a quiz file, the dorm hopes to bring up the already good scholarship average. Last semes ter, Avery f-anked fifth, ' among ' the "large" dorms. From this lethargy the empty glasses on the tables, the full ash trays, the post-party fatigue the jam session started out slow and blue. The Basie players were 500 miles 'from home, miles and weeks away from their families, and in .the middle of a tour that went practi cally nonstop from New York to AUantown, Pa.; Elizabeth, N.

It was considered likely the Mississippi team would meet Loyola, a team with four Negroes in its starting lineup, as its first opponent. The action upheld State President D. W.' Colvard's decision last week to send the team unless vetoed by "competent authority" and, appar ently went against the wishes of Mississippi's staunch segregation ist, Gov. Ross Barnett. Barnett and a number of state officials were on the record as op posing entry of the Bulldogs in the integrated tournament. Some mem bers of the Legislature threatend to cut the university's appropriation if the Bulldogs disregarded the "un written law" against playing teams with Negro players. SEC runnerup Georgia Tech would have represented the conference in the playoffs if the board had revers ed Colvard's decision to send Coach Babe McCarthy's Bulldogs to East Lansing. Mississippi State, SEC champs in 1959, 1961 and 1962, had to turn down NCAA praticipation each time because of the state policy forbid ding integrated athletics. The board argued the matter in an open one-hour meeting called in the wake of Colvard's decision. One member, M. M. Roberts, sug gested that Colvard be asked to resign but he got no support. Infirmary Students in the Infirmary yester day included: Florence Battle; James Galla gher, Carolyn (Manuel; Gail Hern; Reed Johnston; Robert Wauchop; Philip Space; Fred Frohock; Alan Tew; James Dorsey; Joseph El more; Patrick Taylor; William Hughes; James WTilday; Linda Ste vens; Fred Kadin; Anthony Har rington; and Samuel West.

As they played, as they relaxed, the jazz tempo increased at the impromptu jam session. The men's spirits rose as they switched in struments and tried something new. Benny Powell was the veteran of the group. Frank Foster and Frank Weat do about two-thirds of the arranging for the Basie band. Someone joked about Negro comic Dick Gregory." The jazz got faster. They joked about the poor accom modations for the 20 Negro band members throughout the South. They talked about their latest Euro pean tour: the weather was good, the girls were nice, the pace was slower the band wanted to go back i to Europe soon.

As introducted by Gordon Appell, however, violation of the probation vould not bring suspension from the University. r . Through another amendment in troduced by Appell, the IDC court also received permission to admin ister punishment in firecracker cases at its own discretion. Pre viously, the court was restricted by the rule that any violator had to be suspended from school for at least one semester. In other business the IDC set aside $50 for the Experiment in In ternational Living, sponsored by the International Student Board. The program would sponsor one UNC student to a foreign country dur ing the summer. A resolution to light the tennis courts was adopted. This action was prompted by the long lines waiting for the courts in the daytime. It was also pointed out that the courts, if lighted would be a good place for combo parties in the late spring and early fall. Sam Shapiro, Chairman of the Contest Committee, announced dorm standings. The top five are Everett, Joyner, Mangum, Ruf fin and Avery. Jr. Class Sponsors UNC Essay Contest The Junior Class Scholarship Committee announced yesterday that it is sponsoring an essay contest for all UNC undergradu ates on the topic "My Personal Evaluation of Carolina." A first prize of $10 will be awarded to the student Mho sub mits the best essay of 1000-1500 words on this topic. Judge for the contest will be Chancellor R. B. House. Entries should be typed double space, and are due at the Gra ham Memorial office by noon on March 30. They played whatever was on their mind: the fatigue of being far from home, wanderlust for the next town, the happiness of improvising! their own sounds. ! At 2:30 a.m. people were wander ing around peering hopefully at the dry bottoms cf the champagne bot tles. Powell, Foster and West were clearly enjoying themselves you idon't stay on the road ten months out of the year unless you love your music. The three alternated on the flute, trombone, saxophone, piano. Even at three ajn. they kept the attention of their small audience. St. Anthony Hall served them drinks, apple pie and ice cream to keep them going.

The informants,, who have" just arrived here from Cuba, con firmed Washington's estimates that .soviet combat units brought m just before last October's mis sile crisis were being phased out. Soviet Ambassador Anatoly F. Dcbrynin said in Washington Fri day that Russia will keep its prom ise to withdraw several thousand troops from Cuba by next Friday. The administration says there are about 17,000 Soviet troops on the island. But the diplomat questioned the belief voiced by Cuban exiles that the chances of toppling Castro by an internal uprising would increase materially after the removal of the troops. : Large Fighting Force " Nearly two years after the So viet Unica's large-scale military assistance program began, Cuba has built a formidable fighting force equipped with the latest weap ons, including rockets and more tan 100 Jet aircraft. This evaluation of Cuban strength was given United Press Interna tional by West European diplo mats who have been stationed in Havana since Castro's rise to power in January, 1959. . They said that while discontent was widespread- and often vocal, there is virtually no evidence of organized and effective anti-Castro underground movements. The possibility of a massive popu lar uprising was also discounted. A number of small anti-Castro bands in central Cuba were re- ported to have been rounded up f diaH in recent months toy well-armed militia forces, estimated to num ber well over 150,000 throughout the country. Most clandestine operations in the cities have been kept power less by a far-ranging system of informers and a political police trained mainly by East German and Hungarian agents, the sources said. Confined to Camps The Soviet troops, on the other hand, have been deliberately con fined to remote camps to make their presence on the island as inconspicuous as possible. Diplo mats also felt that Soviet officers were anxious to keep out of the mercurial political situation de veloping within the Cuban leader ship as a result of the Moscow Peking split. This matter is being leit en- tirelv to the political staff of the Soviet Embassy and to Commu- nist Partv officials, they said.

S. foreign policy problems. The Montana Democrat told a re porter the Middle East situation, in - eluding the takeover in Syria by pro-Nasser forces, has "all the elements of combustion that could fiame into a world conflagration." He also said there also are such other trouble areas as Berlin, South Viet Nam, Formosa, Korea, and , , ., . VnnA burden President Kennedy. The President, he said, "has an awful lot on his mind. We must find some suitable meeting point where we can subordinate politics and political motives and look to the common good." In another development, presi dential press secretary Pierre Sa linger told newsmen the White House is not getting into daily ar guments with Republicans who are criticizing the administration about 'Cuba. He was asked for comment on a pledge by House Republican whip Leslie C. Arends, 111., to keep hit ting at the issue. "Our position is very clear," Sal inger said. "We're not going to get into these daily arguments." Mansfield went on the Senate floor Friday to lash at Kennedy's Republican critics on Cuba.

At 3:30 a.m. the jazz slowed down and dribbled to a stop. Benny Pow ell was talking about Duke Elling ton.

Sess lam cliarcii Co H Gary Blanchard Photo by Jim Wallace eview in his sternly-worded attack, he said the Republicans who tried to make it appear that the Kennedy administration had tried to suppress news that four Alabama fliers had died in the invasion were guilty of "irresponsible politics." He termed raking over of the in- 1 cident a "cruel thing to do" to the tfliers' families and a "reckless thing to do to foreign policy." He said "no national purpose" was served by partisan discussion of the Cuban crisis. Although some of his remarks appeared to be aimed at Senate GOP leader Everett M. Dirksen, Mansfield Saturday exonerated the Illinois Republican of irresponsibili ty. He told UPI: "I think Dirksen has acted responsibly so far as his actions are concerned." He said the GOP leader was seeking to compile his own information and had agreed to turn it over to re sponsible committees looking into the Cuban crisis. Blasts Shake West Sector Of Berlin BERLIN (UPI) Four myster ious blasts in East Germany jolted the southwestern sector of West Berlin Saturday and shots rang out behind the Communist wall dividing the city on tne otner side. West Berlin police rushed to the borders on both sides of the city to aid possible refugees but found no one. The East Germans gave no explanation for the explosions and shootings which echoed across the border during the dark early mcrning hours. Four detonations described as "medium-heavy" were heard at the extreme southwestern corner of the city in the region of the Babels berg entrance to the autobahn to Vest Germany. Police said the blasts took place somewhere behind the stranas Oi barbed "wire barricades between West BerLn and Red Germany. A West BerLn police squad searched along the border for more than an hour in case refugees had blasted their way through the barrier. About an hour aiter tne explo sions, police reported three shots were fired several hundred yards inside East Berlin opposite the Kreuzberg district in the U. S. sec- tor. 1 j ? - v, J R ditor Candidates Have 4-Point Platform David Ethridge and Gary Blan chard, both juniors in the Political Science Honors Program, yester day announced their candidacy for co-editors of The Daily Tar Heel in the Spring elections. "We are running on a four-point platform as independents." their announcement statement said. "We have neither solicited nor will accept any party endorsement. We feel that the editors should be under no obligation to anyone but the student body." "We believe that the Tar Heel can be a much newsier and more lively newspaper, and that by com "bining our experience and efforts, we can make it so." Ethridge is a former staff writer for the Louisville Ky.) Times and has worked on three weekly news papers in West Virginia, two of which he edited. He has also work ed for radio station WWGP in Sanford, N. C. Blanchard is a staff writer for The Charlotte Observer and area correspondent for radio stations WC1IL, Chapel Hill; WPTF, Ra leight; WiBT. Charlotte and WTOB, W inston-Salem. - He has fbeen on the staff of the Daily Tar Heel as a reporter and contributing editor for the past two years. Last year he won a National Writing Award from the Hearst Foundation for a DTH fea ture story. 4-Points '''Here is our platform;" their statement continued. "First, a three-beat system of reporting. We are greatly heart ened by the action oi the Student Legislature in voting to pay DTH reporters. We believe this is the way to a better paper. It means die system we have worked out is assured oi success. "We will have at least three re sponsible reporters to cover (1) Town, University Administration and Faculty Affairs, (2) Student Government and Student Affairs Office, and (3 Dormitories, Fra ternities and Sororities. Each of these reporters will not only keep their ear to the ground but will turn ki feature ideas lor less ex perienced reporters to write. "Second, minimum use of wire stories. We realize that the Tar Heel is the only newspaper con sifctently read by many students so it should contain some news of state, national and international events. But we favor achieving this goal through a "World News Briefs" column, with all major events getting a few paragraphs each. Too often in the past the wire has served as a crutch to editors needing something with which to fill up space. -We think this should be stopped. "Third, a better editorial page. Too often in the past the editor's) have been chained to the editorial column. Too often they have had little or nothing to say. We intend to comment responsibly and fairly when we have something to say and not write simply because there is a space-hole to be filled. Join ed to this is our intention to solicit informed comment irom students, professors and off-campus people on matters of current significance. "Fourth, more attention to min or sports. This is in line with our intention to put out a balance! newspaper. We feel the so-caHed minor sports should be encouraged. The best way to do this is by pro viding better, more timely cover age of them. "With this as our blueprint, and given the writing talent on this campus, we believe ve can make the Tar Heel one of the finest campus newspapers in the coun try.'' STUDENT SUFFER FORUM The Rev. J. R. Manley, pastor cf the First Baptist Church of Cha pel Hill, will speak on "Further Aspects of Race Relations" at the University Baptist Church Student Supper Forum at 5:45 p.m. today. i
