NASA To Give 10 Grants To Technologists Winners To Begin Study Next Year Winners of National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) grants to the University of North Carolina were , announced yester day by Kenan Professor C. Hugh iHoknan, Dean of the Graduate bchool. Ten full-time pre-doctoral grad uate students in space-related sci ences and technology have re ceived the grants. ) The . grants are worth $4,400 apiece for a full year of study (beginning in September, 1963. The fellowships will be renewable up to a period of three years upon maintenance of academic qualifi cations in accordance with the University. ' Recipients of the fellowships are: Oliver Clayton Todd of Chesa peake, Va., a chemistry student who will be in his first year of 'graduate study here next vear: Lawrence Arnold Coleman, Meri- dien, Miss., who will begin grad uate study in physics next year; ' Joseph George Caldwell. Pitts burgh, Pa., currently a UNC grad uate student in statistics; Mickey .Dorian Miller, Hampshire, W.

In the first case, a student was 37 minutes late after a 2 a.m. late permission had been granted. The case was referred to the students iHouse Council. Although a penalty for lateness is doubled on the night of a late permission, the actual minutes of lateness are not doubl ed. Therefore, since the student was less than an hour late, the case was returned to the House Council. The second case involved two students who shined a flashlight out of their dormitory window dur ing an attempted panty raid. Both were found guilty and given cam pusments of eight and three days, respectively. The difference in sentences was due to the degree and type of participation. .' The third case was a student's sixth House Council offense for failure to observe a campusment. The studem was found guilty and given a campusment of four days. The final case concerned a stu dent's sixth and seventh House Council offenses, twelve-minute and two-minute lateness, The de fendant was found guilty and re- iceived a seven-day campustnent.i affety By MAT FRIEDMAN At the west end of the long runway at Chapel Hill Airport lies a small, harmless looking fenced-in area. It is fhat you might call UNCs "radioactive graveyard. About once a month, Radiation Safety Officer Raymond C. Ffleger will bury there care fully wrapped packages of some "hot" material from one of the 52 laboratories on campus using radioactive materials. It is his job to see that these materials are used safely and disposed of prcperly. Mr. POeger's three-man of fice makes certain the radioiso tope program b conducted within the regulations of the Atemic Energy Cornmission. "Misuse can be fatal," he says, "and this is what we try to. avoid. Last year the University received the highest rating the AEC gives which neizs we are ia: 'com 'I ack Of Site' Reason Sigma Chi Derby Will Not Be Held The lack of a' site has forced the cancellation of this year's Sigma Chi Derby, committee chair man Troy Smith reported yester day. ' . ' "Construction in Kenan Stadi um, the athletic department's re fusal to grant us permission for the use of one of their fields and the prohibitive 'cost 'of erecting bleachers on the intramural field have loft us with no place to hold the Derby," Smith commented. Smith said "The intramural de partment had given us permission to have the Derby on its field ad jacent to Woollen Gym, Dean of Bowles: Indians till Have Faith By VANCE BARRON, JR. The topic of discussion for Chester Bowles on Monday afternoon turned quickly to In dia, undoubtedly the subject uppermost in the mind of the newly appointed ambassador. Bowles said that he had been back to India five times since he was ambassador there in 1953. "If you went there for the first time you would think the pov erty overwhelming," he said, "but if you had been there be fore as I have you would be impressed with the great prog ress that has been made." Bowles reeled off a long list of figures that impressed the idea on his listeners. "There is more confidence in India now about the future than there was a decade ago," the Abassador-designate said. "Ten years ago everything was mov ing rapidly, but: the average- In dian could see very little change," he continued. "Now you can see great changes." He cited the $18 per year in crease in the average income as an example of this. Bowles said that he was particularly im pressed with the number of bi cycles that could be seen in the villages in recent years. Bowles recounted some of the stories about himself that were current among the people dur ing his term as Ambassador. One tale told of the Russian Am bassador arriving at a formal dinner in a bullet-proof car and with a body-guard, while Bowles drove blithely up on a bicycle. "Of course I never went to a dinner on a bicycle in my life," he said. "I never had time." The cause of such stories, Bowles thought, was that "they so desperately want us to be 'good,' want us to be right. "It's the same all over the world. Jefferson is known to most college-age kids every where," he said. "People know what we should be like, and when we aren't the 'kickback' is all the more sharp," he continued. Americans have the same reactions about India, he said. Most people in the U.S. associate India with Gandhi, and they were very dis illusioned when India went into Goa. Bowles commented on the at titude of Americans toward the 'emerging nations. "Nations like India are concerned with trying to make things happen, while America seems to be con cerned with keeping things from happening. "We are a rich and powerful Officer Keeps Tab On Radiation plete' compliance with AEC regulations." Radioactive materials are used on campus in many extremely useful and diversified ways. Physicians in Memorial Hospi tal may use them to locate and destroy cancer cells and they may "tag" compounds in the body with them; that is. place a radioactive material in the body and trace it to see where it goes. Iodine 131, for example, is used in this way to detect abnormali ties of the thyroid gland. They may also be used, as is being done here, to study cosmic rays for the National Aeronau tics and Space Administration, or, as Dr. Henry Thomas ia -chemistry is doing, to study their effects en various clays all over the world. Dr. Thomas work may help fmd new and better ways to bury radioactive materials. Mr. Pflegers assistant Charles Northcutt, inakes stare that every Men William Long later told us that if we had it there, we would have to set up bleachers and a re taining wall to separate the spec tators from the participants to keep things from getting out of hand. We found that the cost of this construction would be pro hibitive." Smith and Sigma Chi fraternity president, Bob Murphy stated that next year's derby would be held in Kenan Stadium and that ads for this year's event would carry over. They noted however, that if requested refunds would be made. nation and feel like we have a stake in the status quo," he said. "Consequently the nations that want to be friends with us are often under the control of des pots who would like to keep things the way they are. "The American who has two cars in the garage and a large and comfortable house may feel that change is bad. He would like it to be orderly and nonvio lent. "Most of the remote areas of the world want change to the extent that they will resort to violence to attain it, however," he continued. "The question is how we a privileged people can relate to an underprvleged world," he stated. Bowles thought that the amazing thing about the world situation was not the amount of violence, but the lack of it. There is . less hatred and , bit terness than might be expected between the new nations and the old Colonial powers, he said. 32 new nations have been created in the last few years. Their forma tion should be compared with the violence of the Chinese and Russian Revolutions in the early part of the century, he continued. He told of a discussion in Nai robi with Kenyatta, considered to be one of the most violent of African revolutionaries. When Bowles asked him what he want ed most, Kenyatta replied that he wanted to attain freedom most of all, but freedom that "would not scare the Europeans aways." "There is an extraordinary amount of tolerance for Euro peans, in the African nations." Bowles said. "The southern third can ex plode in a bloody mess, but on the whole changes have taken place with little violence." "Can we adjust to a world of change?" he asked. "The world will get along without us if we don't and I don't necessarily mean that it will be blown up if we don't. It just means that we wouldn't be relevant." Bowles was optimistic about the evident change that was tak ing place in the attitudes among Americans abroad. He also praised the efforts of the Peace Corps in approaching the prob lems facing the underprivileged nations of the world. "Too often the people of these nations have felt that the U.S. was condescending in its at tempts to aid them," he said. "If they feel you respect them, you have a warmth, and it grows. THEN you can disagree and dis agree quite vigorously." area using these materials is checked at least once a month. Samples are brought back to the lab and examined with $25,000 worth of equipment to see that they are being used safely and with no danger of atmospheric contamination. Up to now, the department has a perfect safety record. "We try to provide proper dis posal for all radioactive mate rials." says Mr. Ffleger. "We dispose either by burial cr in cineration depending on what is being discarded- For example, if an animal from the medical school which has been contami nated, in experiments is cot big to incinerate, we can bury it We carry certain things to the burial area in tm cans and ether things in lead.-. It all depends cn the material. " He points out that most ob jects . are wrapped in plastic when they are burled in' order to minimize escape of radiation.

Meeting Here Said 'Unique' UNC will host "one of the most unique conferences on human rela tions ever to be held in the South," according to conference adminis trator, Harry DeLung. The meeting, which begins tomor row, has limited delegates and speakers to natives of the 13 Sou thern states. Students and young people from over 50 colleges and universities and 30 organizations will attend. "Although the topic will be hu man relations," said DeLung, "An open forum in which all opinions are expressed will be encouraged. "We expect a broad range of ideologies among the delegates; from Mississippi, for example, we will have student government offi cers, young journalists, and stu dents active in Negro voter regis sration." The four keynote speeches of the conference will be open to all UNC students and members of the Chapel Hill community. Dr. J.

The buried materials will re main radioactive essentially for ever, he says, but with decreas ing activity due to their "half life." : This means that a given ma terial will undergo radioactive decay in such a way that over one-half-life period . of time, the amount of activity will be de creased by one-half its initial anKJunt. Therefore as time goes cn, the quantity of radioactive material gets smaller - and smaller. . . ; '-- .

This is the question that greet ed the UN Ambassador from Li beriaone of the leading female UN statesmen when she was refused service -at the Sir Walter Hotel dining room here yester day. She was earlier turned away from the S&W Cafeteria. Dr. Angie Brooks told report ers that a formal protest will be made from the Liberian Em bassy in Washington and that World News In Brief Investigating Team Sees Haiti Leader PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti (UPI) A five-man investigating team from the Organization of American States arrived Tuesday to keep the heated dispute between Haiti and the Dominican Republic from flaring into open warfare. The five-nation committee met with President Francois Duvalier Tuesday afternoon as several hun dred Haitians demonstrated in the streets in support of the govern ment. The city was completely calm. There was no outward signs of military preparations. Political tensions of the weekend appeared to have eased considerably. CENTO Hears Rush KARACHI, Pakistan (UPI) Secretary of State Dean Rusk said Tuesday the entire free world is "still under the gun" of a. wide- ranging Communist menace " eVen with the "major threat" from Cuba removed. Rusk told the opening session of the Central Treaty Organization (CENTO) ministers' council that the two major new challenges to world security in the past year were the introduction of Soviet weapons in Cuba and the Com munist Chinese attack on India fcucn events over far-flung geo graphic areas "underline the wide scope of the Communist threat," he said. "Although the major threat from Cuba has been removed," he said, "all members of the free world are still under the gun." May Day Boycotted MOSCOW, Wednesday (UPI) A U.S. Embassy spokesman said Ambassador Foy D. Kohler and the embassy staff are boycotting the Soviet May Day celebrations today in Red Square in which Cuban Premier Fidel Castro was starred. It was the first such May Day boycott since the United States established relations with the So viet Union in 1933. The spokesman declined to state the official reason for the boy cott. However, it was understood to have been sparked by the pres ense of Castro who took Cuba into the Communist camp under the nose of the United States. Senate To Rescue WASHINGTON (UPI) Senate forces moved Tuseday to bail out the Post Office Department from deficit troubles and stave off a threatened cut in postal services. 000 a year is spent for their pur chase, but sees them as very use ful additions to science and feels there is no danger in their use, as long as it is done properly. Mr. Pfleger points out that the University has a "broad coverage license!' which gives it broad range in the purchase and use of radioactive materials. Only institutions with established reputations for safety are given this privilege. He says that regular air samples are taken to determine the amount of radioactivity in the atmosphere and that to date, the amount of contamination in the Chapel 'Hill area has been below the rational average. Married and the father of three, Mr. Ffleger has a fallout shelter at, his home here. "I know too well what a bomb can do," he says. He estimates that it would be necessary to remain ia the shelter for tso weeks is she is considering taking the mat ter to the United Nationsi "I have never been refused service in any country," - she said. "We tried to avoid an incident at all costs,, but the matter was provoked," said Al Lowenstein, UNC graduate and Assistant Pro fessor of Political Science at N.C. State, who accompanied the group. Also present were Grant Blair, co-editor of the N.C. State news paper, the Technician, and Jo seph Outland, Dr. Brooks' nephew. Chairman Olin D. Johnson (D S.C.), of the Senate Post Office Committee said he would push for passage of legislation that would raise parcel post rates to bring in an additional $70 to $100 million a year in revenues. At the same time, Johnson told a reporter he hoped the Senate Appropriations Committee would restore a substantial portion of the $92 million which the House voted to cut from the post office budget for the fiscal year starting July 1. Harriman Reorts WASHINGTON (UPI) Under secretary of State W. Averell Harriman brought President Ken nedy Tuesday what he called re assurance that Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev intends to abide- by his 1961 Vienna . commit ment on neutrality for Laos. He specifically asked me to tell the President that he had every nit en ton of fulfilling the agreement with him," Harriman said after reporting . to ' the President for about 50 minutes on his talg in Moscow last week with Khrush chev. Harriman said Khrushchev agreed to have the Sovet ambassador in the Laotian capital of Vientane "work very closely" with the U.S. and Brtish Ambassadors to re store calm to the area. Congressmen Say Issue Blocks Education By PETE WALES (Editor's note: This is the second of a two-part series on the National Student Federal Aid to Education Conference last weekend in Washington by Delegate Pete Wales.) Most Congressmen agree that the religious issue is going to be the biggest obstacle to Presi dent Kennedy's National Educa tion Improvement Act of 1S63, JI.R. 3000, now in subcommit tees in the House. "Tederal aid to education is largely doomed by the religious issue," Sen. Sam J. Ervin (D N.C.), an outspoken advocate of federal funds for education, told students last Friday. Several other Congressmen said that civil rights and the states rights vs. federal control the event of an atomic attack. It is partially stocked with food. The biggest user of radioactive materials on campus, he says, is the Division of Health Affairs. Most of them are purchased from Oakridge, Tenn. labora tories where they are made. Tri tium (radioactive hydrogen , Carbon 14, and Copper 64 are three of the more widely used materials here. The Health Affairs office c!i tributes "radiation film badges" to all people exposed to radia tion. These badges note the amount of exposure a person has had over a given period and help prevent them from exceeding the amount set by the AEC. No one here, says Jlr. Ffleger, ever exceeds - that amount. He points out that a person who receives too much radiation would not become "radioactive" as such, but would only be endangering his own health- The S&W Cafeteria closed its doors 45 minutes early after Blair asked the manager if the group would be served. Manager John Lineberger told him that the cafeteria "held the right to serve who they wanted." Dr. Brooks requested that the refusal be given in writing. "I have diplomatic immunity," she said, "and I would like the cour tesy of the manager to tell me to leave. Then I will leave." The request was refused. The group then moved to the Sir Walter where they had been told Negro Aldermen had been served. "We do not serve Negroes," said Manager Arthur Budden hagen when they arrived and V: V v. Spring Rain Falls issue would also be brought up in debate on the education bill. Rep. Frank Thompson D N.J.), Rep. John Brademas (D Ind.) and Rep. Leo O'Brien D N.Y.) all said Friday that these two issues would not be as im portant as the religious issue. "The trouble is that there is no formed opinion of the people in this country on this issue," Rep. Brademas said. "We need more discussions among the people to gain a consensus." "The religious issue came in last year and helped defeat the education bill (the College Aca demic Facilities and Scholarship Act)," Rep. O'Brien saii. 'The INEA (National Education Asso ciation) objected and injected the religious issue. Sen. Edvin, like many oth ers in Congress, feels that fed eral aid to parochial schools would be unconstitutional. "One of the greatest rights we have in America is that we are not forced to pay taxes to sup port religions in which we don't believe," he said. "It would be a great tragedy for the Church to have to rely directly or indirectly on the fed eral treasury." Sen. Ervin brought up the amendment last year in the ate excluding funds from par ochial institutions and it parsed. The bill later failed to paii the House because cf the same iscue. Sen. Ervin also felt that aid to higher education should go directly to the institutions need ing aid and that funds for se ondary and elementary educa tion should be administered through the states. Rep. Thompcon agreed. The problem, he felt, will be with the "sta-es righters'" who cp pcie federal aid in any form. "States rights is a sacred cow that can't be violated, like God, mother and the family dog." The same people who scream about federal aid are also scr earning about itate aid to ' ' - i ' ' I ' f I ! added: "Did you want jobs as a chef or waitress?" The Ambas sador presented her identifica tion cards but was told by the manager that "the 43 states still have the right to serve whom they wish." "It was obviously a put-up job," he told the press later. Dr. Brooks spoke Sunday at N.C. State on a program with Ambassador-designate to India Chester Bowles. She addressed the Shaw University student body yesterday morning. Dr. Brooks was chairman of the UN committee for Non-Self Governing Areas in 1956. She is currently the Liberian Assistant Secretary of State. Liberia be came a self-governing republic in 1847. On Chapel Hill Photo by Jim Wallace Religious education," Rep. Brademas Kiid. Rep. O'Brien felt that the is sues of states rights and civil rights were both being brought up by people who were opposed to federal aid to education any way and didn't rcaliy have a stake in these t'-vo issues. The conservatives throw in a civil rights rider to a bill and the southerner', some of whom are backing the bill, are forced to vote against the amended bill." Rep. O'Brien pointed out that in the bill for aid to medical and dental schools, pa.s.sed two weeks ago by the House, a civil rights rider was defeated and the bill passed because people, realized the "true intention" of thor-e proposing tie rider. Rep. O'Brien said that three of the four Negroes in the House voted again-st the rider to that the good part of the bill might pasi. Congressmen differed w.-k'y about what portions of the cur rent bill wo'ild be pa-ed. "It's too early to tci:," Rep. Thompson said. "The section cn continuing and adult education hos high hopes also the sec tions on library export ion and improvement to higher crea tion."
