Clayton Feaver, professor of philosophy and ethics at Lyons Named Renaissance President Kenan Professor of English Clif ford P. Lyons is the new president of the Southeastern Renaissance Conference. He will serve until 1964. The 22nd annual conference of Renaissance specialists in the southeastern states has recently been concluded here. Others to serve with Professor Lyons during the coming year are three Duke University faculty members, John L. Lievsay, who will be vice president; Simeon K. Heninger, Jr., secretary-treasurer; and George W. Williams, editor. Prof. Peter G. Philias of the UNC Department of English is associate editor. Daniel O. Price, professor of so ciology and director of UNC's In stitute for Research in Social Sci ence, has received a fellowship from the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences located at Palo Alto, Calif., for a year of study. Prof. Price has been awarded a year's leave of absence beginning July 1, 1963. While at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences, which is located on the campus of Stanford University, Prof. Price will divide his time into three areas of work. He will be completing a 1960 census written study on the Negro population of the United States. This study takes a historical look at the position of Negro popu lation and includes a consideration of migration, distribution, employ ment, and education. Prof. Price will also analyze data prepared on a study of the Aid to Needy Families and Children pro gram, formerly called the ADC (Aid to Dependent Children) pro gram. He will be investigating how long persons admitted to this pro gram are likely to receive aid and how long before these persons will become self-supporting. Recent developments in statistics will also be studied by Prof. Price, who teaches a number of statis tics courses here. The Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences awards fellowships to some 40 to 50 people a year to study there. Picture Is Representation Of Artist: By LOUIS LEGUM "No one would ever tell a sur geon how to perform an opera tion," according to Dr. Joseph Sloane, Chairman of the Art De partment, "but everyone wants to tell an artist how he should paint. "Most people feel that a pic ture should be a picture or repre sentation of something. But why can't a picture be something in its own existence, bringing a new thing in the world? It is our priv ilege, if we wish, not to like modern art. But not liking it merely because we have not found out about it, is not our privilege." It is Dr. Sloane's belief that there is no one comprehensive 2 4 I 4 4 ''s v Vr 4- 4 t 7 si s5sS(Xw--Jfca World News In Brief Billy Sol Freedom RISING FAWN, Ga. (UPI) Ten "freedom walkers" nearing a showdown with Alabama authori ties were paid a surprise roadside visit Thursday by bankrupt Texas financier Billie Sol Estes who shook the marchers' hands and wished them luck. ' Estes, an avid integrationist, is is the deep South making a series of speeches. He made a special trip out from Chattanooga along Highway 11 to intercept the marchers, and caught up with them just outside Trenton, Ga., where the group stopped for lunch. Estes, who in his heyday put several Negro youths through col lege, drove up in a car contain ing three Negro men and two children. As he was shaking hands with the marchers, an old model car drove by and someone shouted: "Nigger lover." Estes continued to talk with the group for about five or ten min utes, then climbed back into the car, hoisted one of the children onto his lap and . the car drove away. More Secrets Out LONDON (UPI) A ban-the-bomb organization called "Spies for Peace" spilled some more of Britain's nuclear defense secrets Thursday. A new pamphlet claiming to pinpoint the headquarters of a string of underground government centers which would run Britain in case of nuclear attack was distributed to newspapers. The typewritten pamphlet de scribed the exact location of the London headquarters and detailed its layout. It said this center would control communications with the underground bunkers throughout the country. ISixon IV ill Move NEW YOKK (UPI) Former Vice President Richard M. Nixon anounced Thursday he is moving definition of modern art. "Many people consider that modern art began with the breaking up of the Renaissance painting by the Impressionists in the latter part of the nineteenth century. Others consider it to have begun with the twentieth century, while still others define modern art as only contemporary. "Essentially modern art began when artists no longer found their subject matter suitable to Renais sance treatment. They were tired of doing the same religious and mythical pictures by the same formula. As a consequence, many artists turned to an exarnination of painting itself. This led to Im pressionism and an experimenta tion with light effects. From this "4$ IB 4 5 i if dry 1 -T i 1 the University of Oklahoma, keynote speaker of the first annual All-South Human Relations Con ference which opened here last night.

He must live in New York for six months before he can apply for admission. Nixon's announcement confirm ed reports that he was anticipat ing such a move. It had been learned that a New York realty firm had been asked recently to help locate a new home for the Nixon family. Protest Registered WASHINGTON (UPI) The United States charged Thursday that inflammatory statements by the Duvalier regime in Haiti have contributed to a "potentially ex plosive" situation that has en dangered Americans there. The State Department said it had "strongly protested" to the Haitian government an incident in which a U.S. Embassy employe at Port Au Prince was ordered from his car at gunpoint and searched by Haitian . police. The department warned Americans to avoid "unneccessary travel" to the island. Germany Blasts Off CUXIIAVEN, Germany (UPI) West German scientists shot a three-stage rocket 65 miles in the sky Thursday and put the coun try back in the space race. "I'd call it a partial success I meant the thing to hit 93 miles high," designed Berthold Seliger told United Press International. With the aid of West German anr.y helicopters, Seliger 's crew fired the 450-pound, 18-foot-high solid fuel rocket from a lonely stretch of nearby North Sea beach. All three stages returned to earth by a newly developed para chute technique. stage, of development it was a matter of one style of painting developing as a reaction to an other, until we reached the ab stract expressionism that is pop ular today." Dr. Sloane, however, feels that many other developments of the past century extraneous to paint ing have had a profound effect upon modern art. 'Tor one thing, photography became "so wide spread that some painters felt there was no longer any need for representational paintings. Then we have to remember, too, that this has been an era of tremen dous technical and social accel eration. The Freuds and Darwins brought changing values and pre Role Of NSA In Law Suit Is Explained Shaul Says Group Is Intermediary The U.S. National Student As ociation (NSA) is acting only as :n intermediary in the law suit 0 admit two Negroes to the Hunts 'ille extension of the University of Uabama, according to NSA Presi lent Dennis Shaul. A Collegiate Press Service news release, which received national iistribution last Saturday, announ- :ed that iNSA was suing the State jf Alabama. Tnis is not a test case, saia Shaul. who talked to the DTH rom Philadelphia yesterday. "The test of whether they would be ad mitted was made before NSA en tered the case. They were refusec on technicalities." Shaul said several civil' rights organizations in the South asked NSA to enter the case "to show that 'American students are behind the admittance of all qualified per sons to state universities." While we were thinking about sponsoring a law suit for the two," Shaul said, "the Field Foundation offered us a grant of $5,5CO to cover the legal costs of the case." The NSA President added, "By and large, there were other groups better prepared to take legal ac tion than us." However, he said, "After discussions with founda- ions and the Justice Department, we decided that this would be the most effective way." Shaul said of the decision to enter the suit: "We have reached the limit in what we can do in the area of seminars, mailings, and speeches on human relations. This is another avenue of non- activist expression of the policies established for the 'Association by the (National Student) Congress." Students Not Symbols This case is a good way for us, ne said, to aiiierentiate our role from more activist groups. These two Negroes are really stu dents, and don t think of them selves as symbols of anything." Shaul said he doubted that the case would be decided in time for the two to enter summer school. However, he said that he felt that if they were, it would make orig inal de-segregation easier in Ala bama schools. "Huntsville is not the citadel of education in the state the way the main university campus at Tus caloosa is," Shaul said. "I feel that the admittance of Negroes at the extension would be less charg ed with emotion than at the Uni versity, especially in the fall." Shaul, who spoke at the Inter national Students Symposium here last month, said he hoped to come to Chapel Hill again this month He is a former student body pres ident at the University of Notre nsm and a Rhodes scholar. He was elected NSA president at last summer's Congress. 2 UNC Students Hurt In Accident Two Carolina students sustained severe cuts on their faces in an accident last Tuesday night in Ra leigh. George Wells, of Atkinson, and Andrew Curl, of Creedmoor, were injured when the automobile they were in hit a parked car on New Bern Avenue in Raleigh. Wells was charged with failing to reduce his speed where a special hazard ex isted. The parked car was knocked in to a masonry wall on New Bern Ave., causing damages to the wall estimated at $75. Damage to the Wells car was estimated at $400, to the parked car at $200. Both men were taken to Wake Memorial Hospital for emergency treatment. As of yesterday Curl was still in the hospital. Wells has been discharged. cipitated a dissatisfaction with middle-class society. All these ele ments served to foster an at mosphere where the artist was free to experiment as he pleas ed." y It was pointed out to Dr. Sloane that modern art may be fine in its own right, but too many peo ple don't understand what it's all about. Dr. Sloane responded quite definitely. "It is just as hard to understand a Renaissance picture all the. way through, as it is a modern painting. Everybody always talks about the enigmatic smile of the "Mona Lisa," but m bet that nine out of ten peo ple don't even know who the lady was that Leonardo painted!

Interviews for all positions will begin Friday at the Publications Board office in GM. All selections will be made by the Publications Board. Interested persons should come by the office and make an appointment for an interview. A business manager is also needed for the UNC News, the summer school paper, for both sessions. "All these are paid positions," Townsend said. "The editors are salaried, and the business mana gers get a commission on ad vertising." He said that the job of business manager consists of handling all business aspects of the publica tions, including paying bills, hand ling advertising, working with printer, and handling all business problems. "The editor collects all material and is responsible for the deadline requirements," Townsend said. They have complete editorial freedom." , Persons interested in one of these - positions may contact one ' of the following for more information Sam Applegate, Yack Business (Mgr.; Dave Morgan, Tar Heel (Business Mgr.; and Fred McCon nell, UNC News and Quarterly Business Mgr. !

"I will admit that it is more difficult to participate in a mod ern painting in the sense that it can't be as superficially ' appre ciated. But if people don't want to be aware of and understand the problem of a picture, any pic ture, then they have no right to judge the solution. In modern art we have to have a receptivity to what the experimental idiom is going against and to what it is going towards. And the only real way to judge such work is to have a wide and lengthy experi ence with . it. But lot of people just aren't modern anyway.

Leads South In Granting Rights 9 By MICKEY BLACKWELL j Burke Marshall, U. S. Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights said Wednesday night that North Carolina is at the forefront of all Southern States in complying with the 1S54 de-segregation order. "But," he added, "I just don't understand the great difference that takes place when you cross from one state line to another." Speaking at a dinner honoring McNeill Smith, outgoing chairman of the N. C Civil Rights Commis sion, Marshall told a Carolina Inn gathering he couldn't see a ' dif ference in -Xha appearance-aL- the people of North Carolina, Ala bama or Mississippi, but, "there is a great difference in the atmo sphere" of these states "caused; simply by a state line." He said the difference reflects in public leadership, economic growth and even upon men who had served as governor five or ten years earlier. Sidewalk Show Of Local Art Opens Today The University Art League's three-day Sidewalk Art Show op ens today at 11 o'clock on East Franklin Si. The show, which fea tures an exhibition of art work by residents of the Durham-Chapel Hi!I area, win run through Sunday. Show hours are 11 a.m.-5 p.m. today, 9 a.m.-6 p.m. Saturday and 1-6 p.m. Sunday. No commission is charged for works bold at the &how. vL O 1 ilar to the old one is both restored and enforced. A decision on the two-fold pro posal is to come from separate meetings of the WRC and the Women's Council within the next week. The old rule, abolished by the WRC March 19 for all but fresh man coeds, required two couples to be present when coeds visited off campus living units. Two days later Dean of Women Katharine Carmiachael announced that she did not consider the rule change valid and regarded only those rules contained in the 1962 63 Handbook for Women Students to be in effect. The Women's Council has since announced it would uphold the Marshall cited Alabama and Mississippi as examples of "this change in atmosphere." "In the Meredith case, Mr. Jus tice Black, speaking for the Su preme Court, said that Meredith had the right to go to school. Once that order was handed down, it be came the plain duty of everyone, especially those dealing with the law, to enforce the decision.

'That report was a distortion," Marshall said. "Many people were trying to get on the campus with guns, long range rifles and other dangerous weapons.

"That report doesn't name any names . . . and the incidents set forth in it have no relation to what actually happened." Marshall took exception to a proposal by the Civil Rights Com mission to cut off all federal funas to Mississippi if they didn't com ply with orders to integrate. "Mississippi needs a lot of help," Marshall said. "Cutting off federal funds won't help the peo ple of 'Miss . . . and they certainly wouldn't be any happier with the federal government if the govt, should cut off all aid to their state." Marshall said that in Montgom ery, Ala. "there is again a differ ent type of atmosphere focused on the problem of breaking the ice" as far as integrating the schools is concerned. "But the Gov. of Ala. has said he will take the same stand taken by Barnett of (Miss. Should the occasion arise," Marshall said. "Gov. Wallace has said publicly that he will stand on the Univer sity steps if necessary to prevent integration of state schools. "Wallace made these promises of segregation during his campaign and he still stick by them . . . and even after talking with the At torney General he still sticks with what he said during the campaign T question very seriously what can be accomplished through de fiance of this nature . . . it's not good for the people, for race rela tions or for the economic situa tion," Marshall said. He said he was well pleased with the way S. C. accepted Harvey Gantt when be became the first Negro to enroll in a Palmetto state institution. "The way it worked in S. C. is the way it should work. No one is upset at Clemoon . . . and Gantt is pursuing his studies right along. The entire matter was handled ex tremely well by state officials. "The whole matter showed a basic respect for the law by the people of South Carolina. "That's the way it should work," Marshall adJed. mil rule changes as legislated by the WRC. Dean of Student Affairs Charles Henderson issued a proposal for some decision to be made as soon as possible because "Honor Coun cil cases arising from this new rule are bound to come up." Dean of Men William Long cited three reasons for a decision to be made immediately: (1) women stu dents should know which rule they living under; (2) there is not enough time left in the semester for further discussions to continue; and (3) there is obviously a great amount of academic pressure be ing forced on the student leaders involved in the apartment rule dis cussion. Student body president Mike Lawler said the student repre.senta- ives must confer with their respec tive groups before any decision could be reached. He added that he was hesitant to put off a final decision on the apartment rule mat ter. Dr. James Caldwell, chairman of the Faculty Committee on Student Discipline, reported that the facul ty and administration are interest ed in exploring the proper stand ard of conduct needed here. He added that he felt a study group should be set up to work out a solution to the controversy. The outcome of this week's stu dent meetings will be reported to Dean Henderson. He will then call nother meeting of these leaders to discuss the decision reached by the WRC and the Women's Council. During the early part of yester day's meeting, outgoing Women's Council chairman Bev Haynes read a letter explaining the ration ale behind the change in the apart ment rule. She said the letter would be distributed to all women stu dents. Bardolpli Keynotes Confab Dr. Richard Bardolph, Chairman of the history department at Wom an's College, will speak tonight in Howell Hall at 7:30. He is the sec- om,erence neId nere tm'ouSl Sunday.
