The revitalization of the Di-Phi as an integral
part of the legislative branch and the reorgani
zation of the Student Government executive .
branch along cabinet lines were proposed yes
terday by UP Presidential candidate Larry Mc
Devitt as "necessary steps for the translation
of student creativity into activity."
Under McDevitt's plan, committees and staffs .
will be grouped under the direction of five cabf
inet-level administrators who will coordinate ac
tivities in each field, strengthen weak committees,
and give over-all leadership to programs under
way. "By centralizing responsibility in this way,"
iMcDevitt said, "it will be possible to eliminate
some superfluous committees and to combine
existing committees into more efficient working
and planning units."
Under McDevitt's plan a Di-Phi Senate would
be the legislative branch responsible for the dis- -cussion
and consideration of "Off-campus" is
sues. Di-Phi Senators would include delegates
from all campus political interest groups as well
as geographically elected members.
By restoring the Di-Phi Society to its right
ful position as the campus forum, Student Gov
ernment will greatly contribute to student aware
ness and understanding of major issues and will
be a meaningful expression of student opinion,"
iMcDevitt said.
Yesterday McDevitt also expressed criticism
of suggestions that Student Government concen- ,
trate upon the establishment of a Carolina Abroad
program. "We're having our hands full with
getting the University of iNorth Carolina at Ra
leigh, much less the University of North Caro- .
lina at Rome.
"The influence of our foreign exchange schol
arship programs is enriching, vital and wel
come," McDevitt added, "'and expansion of these ;
international study programs is necessary. But
the brunt of our efforts must be directed toward -the
securing of higher standards and broader
educational benefits for the University at Chapel
Hill. We should not export mediocrity," he con
cluded. " - . ,;..,,.;"'. fc-.f '.
IMcDevitt commented further on the possibility
of establishing experimental co-ed dorms. "These
dorms have been successfully tried in colleges
and universities across the country. Although coed
dorms are subject to controls and regulations,
they provide common social facilities,' study
rooms, and dining halls." Contrary to the opinion
of the opposing party, McDevitt expressed confi
dence that "students will show this to be a per
fectly feasible plan which is not the answer pro
vided in an immediate "open room" policy.
Memorandum: front the Dean of Men's office:
December 5, 1962: "Until further notice all public
parades, -. displays and presentations (especially
the "Beat Dook" Parade, Homecoming Weekend
and Sigma Chi Derby) will be reviewed for ap
roval prior to the event by an ADMINTSTRA-
TIVE-FACULTY committee . should an of
fensive presentation occur, this committee will
- make a ; recommendation to the Dean of Student
Affairs for appropriate DISCD7LINARY AC
TION." Stiidents shall be responsible for the ungentle
manly or irresponsible actions of their fellow
students. This is one of the most basic principles
of our student government. Administrative in
tervention in the "Beat Dook" parade, as only one
example, sacrificed this principle to expediency.
If such an essential principle continues to lose its
vitality, neither political party will be able to
implement the proposals contained in its plat
form. Consider the following actions: increased
administrative action concerning "morals" cases
without student consultation, the tone of discus
sions on the "inactivity rule," administrative
policies such as three-man rooms, room repairs,
fee increases and freshman dorms. This direct
quote is from the duty-sheet given to residen
advisers, who are urged to work with the IDC:
"Refer serious problems beyond his competency
to the OFFICE OF STUDENT AFFAIRS."
The past five years have seen an increasing
number of "serious problems" become administra
tive problems. Our grant of autonomy presented
once in 1875 by the president of the faculty was
reinforced in 1910 when the Faculty Committee
recommended: "all cases arising under the honor
system be handled by the student council." This
recommendation was approved by the Faculty
without a dissenting vote.
In the recent past, and now, we see an in
dication of a misunderstanding of the nature of
student self-government by some administrators,
some' faculty and some students. From this mis
understanding issues many of our separate prob
lems. The challenge faces us now, and we must
. confront it with cur vote in the coming election?
The. nature of student autonomy is not under
stood in terms of it being retracted if the grant
or disagrees with our actions. Nor can it be
retracted if we sometimes falter in the perfect
implementation of our. ideal. Next year's presi
dent will establish the direction of our tradition
of self-determination. He must come to grips with
this central issue of . student autonomy. Yes,
Freshman Orientation needs attention, so does
the qo-op investigation, the physical educational
. and recreational conditions in the dorms, the cre
ative atmosphere of academics. BUT, unless the
President Of the Student Body meets the crisis
of the maintenance of student autonomy with
integrity," ' experience . and strength, the candi
dates of 1965 will not be able to suggest such
ideas as this year's candidates and party plat
forms propose. OUR AUTONOMY PRECEDES
THESE PROPOSALS. OUR AUTONOMY IS THE
MEANS TO THESE ENDS.
EDITOR'S DEBATE
Chris Farran, Harry Lloyd, Dave
Ethridge and Garry Blanchard,
editorial candidates for DTH, will
meet in debate tonight 7:30 in 104
Howell Hall.
Blanchard and Ethridge, origi
nators of the debate, stated that
they viewed it "as simply a chance
for candidates to express views of
the office and to indicate the out
look and probable performance for
next year."
Lloyd stated that he would
"heartily accept the challenge of
Mr. Blanchard and Mr. Ethridge.
I think there are a number of
things that should be brought out
into the open, he said.
In answer to the challenge Far
ran said he would attend the meet
ing to state again his "past and
continuing interest in a truly repre
sentative student newspaper."
The procedure for the debate as
suggested by Lloyd is to allot 15
minutes to each candidate for an
opening statement, followed by a;
period for each candidate to ask
questions of his opponents in re
buttal. Questions from the floor
will follow.
From Church To Cabinet
By R. LEE FERRELL
Josh White played guitar on one
of the first phonograph recordings
made in America. That was 30
years ago.
Today his albums are universal
hits. They sell in the millions each
year.
When Josh was 14, a record scout
offered him $100 to come to New
York and make recordings. His
mother made him promise to sing
only spirituals, no blues. To his
religMUs family blues were "sin
ful." Josh began recording, and 16
spirituals later he ran out. So un
der the pseudonym "Pine Wood
Tom," he recorded his first blues.
Church groups praised his re
ligious songs, but the masses made
him famous for his blues.
Many of Josh White's songs are
products of his experiences. For
example, President Franklin D.
Roosevelt heard him on an album,
became interested and invited him
to sing at the White House. Josh
made many return trips to sing
for the President, and Mrs. Roose
velt. From his friendship came
what critics call one of his most
touching songs, "The Man Who
Couldn't Walk Around."
Josh studies almost every folk
song he performs. In one of his
studies he traced "St. James In
firmary" back to the British Isles
in pre-American . revolution days.
For his research into the origin and
development of folk songs, Fisk
University gave him an honorary
Doctor of folk lore degree.
Kemp Battle Nye, local merchant
30's, said, "We've sold thousands
and thousands of Josh's albums
since he started recording. We
sold 5000 of 'Josh At Midnight' al
most as soon as they came in the
door." What about Josh as an
artist?
"Josh is one of the finest artists
I've ever known or heard," said
Kemp. "He's got something that
allows him to communicate with
any audience. He always goes over
100 per cent."
As a person?
Kemp said, "He's got patience
and understanding. He took time
to talk with every person who had
a question when he was here last
year.
Josh White returns to UNC Fri

PEHour
To Get
Credit
By DICK ROTH
Physical Education will count for
quality point credit starting with
the first summer session.
This was the decision of the Ad
ministrative Board of the General
College of the College of Arts and
Sciences.
Dean Sitterson, head of the board,
announced yesterday that P.E. will
count one hour course. A person
making "A" will receive four
quality points.
He said, there were two ways
of handling physical education.
"Some schools give no credit or
grades for the. course; others give
hours, grades and quality points.
We were in the middle. We gave
hours and grades but no quality
points."
The board decided to go toward
the extreme that would be most
helpful to the students here.
By making this decision, it is
hoped that this will encourage par
ticipation in the physical education
program. "We hope this will in
crease student's desires to finish
in four semesters," Dean Sitterson
said.
In the past, there have been stu
dents that have not completed their
PE requirement until their senior
year. They come for a few weeks
and then dop out feeling that they
can pick it up some other time,
Sitterson said.
The Dean said the credit might
help some people to pass but in
most cases the help will hardly be
significant."

By RUDY WARD
Cuba will continue to frustrate
us until we "convince the Cuban
people that it is worthwhile to ov
erthrow their government," Ted
Szulc. said Tuesday night in the
seventh of a series of journalism
lectures.
Our (the U. S.'s) policy problem
is to persuade the people of Cuba
that "we are tied to the oeople of
Cuba" and are not intent on turn
ing back the clock.
: "The possibility of an uprising
either from the bottom or at a
high level can be ruled out."
T Szulc of the Weshington Bureau
of the New York Times. He has
written two books and co-authored
a third about Cuba, and won the
Maria Moore Cabot Gold Medal
for hemispheric reporting in 1959.
"The central fact concerning
Cuba is that four years since Cas
tro took over, Cuba is still with us
in a Marxist-Leninist state. There
is no reason to foresee a change
in this in the immediate future."
The important thing for us, as a
nation, is "to place Cuba in the
proper perspective."
"The time has come to dissoci
ate Cuba as a political guerrilla
warfare against President Kennedy
and treat it as a political problem."
Castro has an uncanny talent for
surviving and for landing on his 'that guerillas should procure their
feet after a tussle. After four
years, "Castro has not .been dis
lodged," noted Szulc.
Indications are that Cuba, "in
her present posture," is not a clear
and present danger to the U. S.
since the removal of the Soviet mis
siles. Cuba is not likely to invade any
other Latin American countries.
The U. S. has made it clear what
it will do should this occur. "Cuba
is boxed-in in the Caribbean."
The "Cuban Crisis" was liqui
dated with the removal of the mis
siles. Cuba is now "very much a
part of the U. S.-Soviet problem."
Szulc said that we have two ma
jor problems to contend with: the
problem of subversion and, the
necessity of making the Alliance
for Progress work.
"Cuba is the headquarters for
subversion and insurgency in Lat
in America, and subversion is a
problem of people," he said. "Over
1000 youths are being trained an
nually in subversion. This has been
going on since '60 under the Cuban
Scholarship Program."
In Latin America, the Cuban
guerrillas, not the Russians, are
the experts on subversion and insurgency.
"The prevailing rule among Lat
in Americans," he continued, "is
equipment locally. There is no evi
dence of infiltration of Soviet arms
from Cuba to other Latin Ameri
can countries."
Szulc suggested that the key for
us is the Alliance for Progress.
"Our problem is to make the Al
liance for Progress a meaningful,
workable arrangement which it
hasn't been. The best and cheapest
deterrent is to show the people of
Latin America that the U. S. has
something to offer."
The view in Washington is that it
wouldn't be worthwhile to invade
Cuba and "scoop six feet dirt off
the top of the island." This would
accomplish no desired end in the
overall political configuration of the
world. Blockade Cuba? This has
been rejected because the starva
tion of a country "shouldn't be part
of U. S. policy anywhere in the
world."

Money Come
From Entire
Student Body
The Finance Committee of Stu
dent Legislature yesterday deleted
an appropriation of $630 for a sen
ior class gift to the University from
the proposed Student Government
budget for 1963-64.
The Committee tentatively ap
proved appropriation requests for
the Executive Secretary ($1200);
Orientation Committee ($1370);
typewriter maintenance fund ($250);
IDC ($3,540.) and the Cosmopolitan
Club ($180).
All requests approved by the Fi
nance Committee are subject to the
approval of SL before they can go
into effect.
Committee chairman George Itos-
ental reported that the reason the
appropriation was stricken from the
budget was that. "This gift is not
really a gift from the senior class,
but instead one from Student Gov
ernment to the University for the
benefit of the student body."
He added that, "He felt this gift
to be of a dead-wood tradition and
not a necessary appropriation for
the whole student body to finance."
Rosental requested that the fol
lowing organizations send repre
sentatives to next Tuesday's Fi
nance Committee meeting at four
o'clock in Gm: NSA, Audit Board;
WRC, UNC Debate team and the
treasurer of the student body.

Lloyd
"There is no reason why the1
Sunday Daily Tar Heel cannot be
the best paper of the week," said
Harry Lloyd, candidate for editor,
in a statement yesterday.
"In the past, the Sunday edition
has been weak because not enough
work was put into it. It's hard
to get a staff to work on Saturday,
which is not a good "news day"
anyway. But I think this situation
can be remedied.
"What I want to do is to use
more creative work," he said.
"There should be a place for stu
dent fiction, poetry, and cartoons,
and I think the Sunday DTH could
be that place. The 'North Caro
lina Magazine' was killed because
of a lack of responsibility, but I
think there were some good ideas
in it. The Sunday paper can be
made into a highlight of the week.
Lloyd said he also has a proposal
to solve the problem of assembling
a capable staff. "I want to put
that responsibility under one exe
cutive editor. .This person would
keep a record on new staff mem
bers and see that they have some
thing to do. The main problem in
keeping a capable staff right now is
that new people aren't made to
feel that they are necessary. The
paper that can assemble a compe
tent, hard-working staff will be
successful.
"The proposals of a new Sunday
edition and a staff reorganization
should help me to achieve my first
three objectives," Lloyd said.
"They are concentration on campus
news, emphasis on sports coverage,
and a more interesting, more re
sponsible editorial page.
"I have several ideas for the im
provement of the editorial page,"
he said. "Those would orJv start
out with a new makeup. I want
locally drawn cartoons instead of
snydicated ones. I will print let
ters that show value, as well as
reviews of current books, movies,
and other entertainment. There
should be regular columnists, both
on humorous and serious subjects.
