Rockefeller, Mrs. Murphy Are Married Governor Wed In Closed Ceremony POCANTICO HILLS, N. Y. (UPI) Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller and Mrs. Margaretta Fitler Murphy cli maxed a secret romance Saturday with a surprise wedding at the home of Rockefeller's brother, Laurence A press release from Laurence's office put an end to months of spec ulation, rumor, "no comments" and denials. The ceremony, performed by the Rev. Marshall L. Smith, of the Union Church here, was attended only by immediate members of the bride's and groom's families. Rockefeller, 54, was divorced by his wife of 31 years last year. Mrs. Murphy, 36, was divorced April 1. The divorces and marriages were said to figure in the political think ing of experts weighing the odds on Rockefeller's presidential aspira tions. DR Forces Massed SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Re public (UPI) The Dominican armed forces were massed Saturday along the border and at sea to Invade Haiti should President Juan Borsh give the word. U. S. Marines also were reported ready to land if feared disorders break out. Bosch told United Press Inter national he would move "at the slightest indication" that order had broken down in the neighboring re public, jeopardizing the lives of Dominican citizens, other foreign ers and the population at large. Other Dominican officials said they had received word-presum-ably from Washington that United States Marines were standing by for a landing in Haiti at the first sign of violence endangering the lives of more than 1,000 American residents. . - .. . ' -j 17. S. May Relent i UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. (UPI) Ambassador Adlai E. Stevenson indicated Saturday that the United States may relent in its announc ed determination not to pay one penny more than its assessed 32.02 per cent share of U.N. peace-keep ing costs. He emDhasized. however, that the final position would be governed by what money is paid in by U.N. members who are delinquent in their payments. Under congressional pressure and public criticism that Washington put up close to 50 per cent of the costs of the U.N. Congo operation, the United States announced in March that it would pay only its assessed share in the future until members whose failure to pay ran the world organization's debt to $100 million made contributions of their own. Hoses Used Again BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (UPI) Po lice turned high pressure hoses on three thousand jeering Negroes pro testing segregation Saturday when one of them threw a brick that landed near Police Commissioaer Eugene Bull Connor. The clash marked the third con secutive day of massive racial dem onstration in this Southern steel city. More than 1,000 Negroes have been , arrested, including about 50 Saturday many of them teen-agers. President Kennedy was reported "dismayed" by the events and the administration sent in two Justice Department trouble shooters in hopes of working out a truce. Bennett Keeps Watch On Buildings And Budget By HUGH STEVENS "One of the beauties of this university is its surroundings. Someone said that the university looked as if it just grew here." The speaker was J. S. Bennett, Director of Operations for the university, and he was comment ing on the passing scene pre sented by Carolina during the last 42 years. The vigorous, enthusiastic Mr. Bennett joined the staff here in 1921, and since then he has seen and caused -a lot of changes. "At the end of World War II, there were no brick walks on the campus," he said. "Since then we have added a little at a time, even though there is no provision in the budget for walks. We just add to them when we can, and. I think we have made a lot of progress in adding to the beauty of the campus Aa Director ef Operations, Mr. Harry Lloyd and Curry Kirkpatrick at the ACC Tourney Photo by Jim Wallace Lloyd, Kirkpatrick Capture Awards For Sports Writing Four Daily Tar Heel staff mem bers have been named winners in the 1963 College Press Awards con test sponsored by the Charlotte Observer and News. In the sports division of the con test, the DTH swept the awards with both first and second places. Harry W. Lloyd, currently execu tive news editor of the paper, was first place winner in sports. Lloyd was sports editor in 1961-62. Curry Kirkpatrick, who is now the DTH sports editor, won second prize in the sports category. Other prizewinners included Pat Brunon Takes Over As WUNC Manager Rovy Frost Branon is the new manager of WUNC Radio, Don Schain, outgoing manager, announc ed Friday. Branon a second-semester junior from Charlotte, will as sume his duties immediately. Branon joined WUNC Radio as a Freshman in 1960, working on the continuity staff. A continuity writer is one who writes the scripts for pro grams. In . his sophomore year, Branon became Continuity Direc tor; and this past year he has act ed as Program Director, responsible for the programs and program schedules of WUNC. "Hillside Jazz" is the name of his own program. Every Thursday night from 10:15 until 11:00, the WUNC studio is alive with an ap plauding audience as jazz "from the Hillside" is broadcast. A member of Delta Upsilon frat ernity, Branon has a Jefferson Standard Scholarship, a 4-year schol arship awarded to prospective stu dents in Radio, Television, and Mo tion Pictures. He is majoring in RTVMP, of course, but also in Po litical Science. He has been on the Publications Board for two years and was Business Manager of the Carolina Handbook. At the present time, he is on the Writer-in-Resi- dence Committee. In spite of his outside activities, Branon has main tained a close-to-B average at the University, When asked about future plans, the new manager stressed the neces sity of WUNC Radio becoming more closely integrated with students and Bennett is. responsible for the physical growth and appearance of the university, and as he him self stated, it is a job "full of headaches." His responsibilities include plans and specifications for new buildings, the upkeep of old buildings, and the general pic ture presented by the campus. "In constructing a new build ing," he said, "it is our job to coordinate the wishes of the de partment with the plan of the architect and engineers, and still keep within the budget." Inspections Also Later, Mr. Bennett's depart ment must inspect the construc tion and make certain that the specifications are met. Then he must make provision for land scaping and beautifying of the new building. Always, of course, the first concern must be the ultimate beauty of the cam Stith. honorable mention in sports. and Mickey Blackwell, honorable mention in features. Lloyd earned a $25 prize for his story, and Kirkpatrick will receive $15 for his second place winner. The contest included entries fh five divisions from college newspap ers in both North and South Caro lina. This is the first such contest sponsored by the papers. Other first place winners in the contest included: editorials, Frank L. Gentry, The Tiger, Clemson Col.' lege; news writing, JoAnn Coker, The Gamecock, University of South gaining a greater recognition by the University. The station, Branon pointed out, has a coverage area of a 100-mile radius around Chapel Hill is in reality the "Voice of the University of North Carolina." Branon also mentioned the possibili ty of WUNC's joining a network to bring more programs to the area. New plans for WUNC Radio in the next two weeks include two spec taculars. An opera spectacular will be broadcast on Saturday, May 11. A jazz spectacular will be present ed soon. The date is undecided. Five Innocent Of Offenses Three students were found in nocent of Honor Council violations and two others innocent of Campus Code offenses in Men's Council closed trials Thursday night. In the first case, the Council sus tained not guilty pleas from two students for alleged ungentlemanly conduct at a girls' school. Two students, charged with col laboration on a quiz, pleaded not guilty. Although a number of answ ers were similar, the evidence was inconclusive and neither student could be linked to the charges. A senior pleaded innocent to a charge of stealing. He allegedly took a package, addressed to a (Continued on Page 3) pus. "An example of this," said Mr. Bennett, "was the situation in volving renovation of some older buildings. We took Old East, South Building, and some others and gutted - them completely without changing their outside appearance at all. We just left the walls standing." "Now this," he continued, "was an expensive proposition, and economically it would have been cheaper to erect new struc tures. But our purpose was to preserve the beauty of the cam pus. Unless you can get the feel ing of a situation like that, you just don't belong here." Mr. Bennett looked at some past events which he recalls, in cluding the occasion when the opening of school was delayed for a week for lack of water. "In those early days, our water summer the weather just about ,, 'f - r. a ' niMilir- i " i ii irt in - i iiifiiim ii ii iWMiMa Carolina; features, Edward S.

They in cluded a post-game interview with Coach Dean Smith after the UNC basketball game with N. C. State; a similar interview story with Coach Bones McKinney of Wake Forest after his victory over UNC here; and an account of the North Carolina-South Carolina football game. Oriental Art Is Exhibited The largest collection of oriental works of art ever to be exhibited in North Carolina is currently on display in the North Gallery of the Ackland Art Center. This exhibition of Asian arts and artifacts is on loan from the Asian Cultural Exchange Foundation of Washington, D. C, a non-profit or ganization . established to promote interest in the peoples of Asia through the arts and crafts. The purpose of the Foundation is to establish Asian art collections in secondary schools, colleges, and libraries. The collection was selected by Professor J. C. Sloane, director of the Ackland Art Center, and Mr. Simon Kriger, president of the Foundation, to introduce North Carolina to the peculiar and un usual beauty of oriental art. The artist of the Far East does not look at nature objectively as west ern artists do, but rather attempts to unite "objects and spirit" through intuitive enlightenment from with in. A wide variety of media and styles from China, India, Korea, Thailand, Tibet, Viet-Nam and Ja pan are represented. The media in clude bronze, human bone, lacquers, ceramics, ivory and jade dating back to prehistoric ers. The works of art comprice Chinese and Japanese scroll paintings, a mother-of-pearl lacquer box, Tibetan carvings from human bones, a wide variety of jade carvings, ceramic and bronze sculpture from India, Thailand, China and Japan. three miles from here, and one summer the weater just about gave out. We worked feverishly night and day to lay a pipe three miles in another direction so school could open. We had to lay it on top of the ground for speed. We used it for two years." .-"A lot of things, have changed around here. I remember when we had poles running across campus with these dinky .little street lights on them. The po licemen had to turn them on in the evening and off in the morn ing. They usually forgot, and it was not strange to have the li2Hv burning all day' "It's hard to believe." Mr. Bennett went on. "but Cameron Avenue was once a clay street. When it rained we- put- boards across it to walk on. Even when it wasn't muddy, it was dusty. It surely was bird to keep a Non-C Frats Lose Status Under Rule Amendment Up Before IFC Monday By HUGH STEVENS The Interfraternity Council will consider an amendment to its by laws tomorrow night which would make it illegal for any person who fails to meet IFC scholastic re quirements to affiliate with a fra ternity. , The amendment will, if passed, expressly outlaw the "social af filiate," whereby a student who does not meet academic standards affiliates with a house and pays social dues only. In part, the amendment states that "No student, excluding first or second semester pledges, who does not have an overall C aver age or who has not made a C average for the last two semes ters, may not in any way affili ate with any social fraternity." The amendment would take effect in June, 1963. "This amendment came about as the result of a test case put to the IFC court by one fraternity," IFC president Charlie Battle said yesterday. "This house tried the social affiliate system and was convicted by the court of violat ing the scholarship rule," he said. "The new rule clearly states the IFC position, and also prevents someone from affiliating with a fraternity who does not have a C average, even though he has never been a pledge." Dean of Men William G. Long also said that the social affiliate is a direct violation of the IFC rules. "It is obvious that a man who is disaffiliated by the IFC and then re-affiliated by his fraternity Under another status is simnlv il legal, he said. "Such use of loop holes is the immature approach to the scholarship problem, and the tew IFC rule will eliminate this loophole." Both Battle and Dean Lone com mented that they did not think that the social affiliate practice was widespread. "Where it is used." commented Dean Long, "it makes a farce of the scholarship rule." Battle and Dean Lon2 aareed that most fraternities were abid ing by the scholarship require ments, but said the new rule would eliminate instances of fra ternities trying to "get around the requirements." Along the same lines. Dean Long stated that "the bull riedee is the real academic problem of fraterni ties." He gave figures to show that only 22 of 112 pledges de-activated by the IF Clast spring became eligible for initiation this year. He indicated that such failures are one source of the social affiliate prob lem. Putzel Will Edit Paper The Publicaitons Board an nounced Friday the appointments of the editor and business mana ger for the summer UNC News and business managers of the Daily Tar Heel and Yackety-Yack for next year. The UNC News positions will be filled by Mike Putzel, editor, and Fred McConnel, business manager. Art Pearce will be business man ager of the DTH next year, and Bob Spate will fill the post for the Yack. shoeshine in those days." Plans for the Future Turning to the present and the future, Mr. Bennett named some projected additions to the uni versity. "We are working on an addition to the power plant right now and of course we have the new nine story dormitory in the planning stage.-We have also begun plan ning for a new dining 'hall in the Ehringhaus area which will serve those dorms. It. will be almost as large as Lenoir Hall ". Another point made by Mr. Ben nett concerned the difficulty of preparing for new construction.

Dr. Bardolph, author of "The Ne gro Vangaurd," spoke in Howell Parents Visit Campus Today; Friday Gives Speech At 2:30 William C. Friday, president of the Consolidated University, will give a public address in honor of UNC's annual "Par ents' Day" being . held here on the campus today.

Other highlights of the day will be a joint concert by the UNC Glee Club and the Wom an's College Chorus to be held in Hill Hall at 3:15 p.m., and a University Band concert at 4 p.m. on the lawn by the Davie Poplar. A faculty reception will pre cede President Friday's address and the music concerts. The re ception will be held on the lawn of Graham Memorial at 1:30 Integration Group Maps First Plans By BILL HICKS "We are here tonight to find out what happened to the integration spirit of 1960," Harold Foster, edi tor of Campus Echo, the studen newspaper of North Carolina Col lege, told the first mbeeting of the Committee for Open Business Fri day night. "The Negro community must let the people of Chapel Hill know they are ready for equality and want a community with equality in toto," the Chapel Hill native said. "We need a committee that will last as long as there is racial discrimination in Chapel Hill." Pat Cusick, chairman of the Stu dent Peace Union, opened thej meeting and told the 57 people present of the SPU's efforts to end j racial segregation in the Chapel J Hill community. ! "Although this is not as drama tic as the Open Theater movement of last year, ending all racial dis crimination in Chapel Hill is more vital," Cusick declared. "Our goal should be to work towards a com munity in which a person may be served at any establishment with out regard to the color of his skin." After Dr. Wayne Bowers, a mem ber of the UNC Physics Depart ment, gave a brief history of the integration movement in Chapel Hill, Foster brought up the prob lem of the UNC Negro student "The UNC Negro was 'integrat r V r It' i f . v:j v h : !: I i " 1 !

"Parts of this problem have been eliminated in the past few years, but much of it still remains." Foster, who along with Father Clarence Parker, retired Episcopal ! minister, was elected co-chairman i of the Committee, closed by say- ing the committee "must work to destroy discrimination in Chapel j Hill." ! The next speaker, Al Higsins. told 1 the group "we need to 'bus the bigots of Chapel Hill. Hard work is needed to crack segregation," Higgins, a member of the Institute of Research in So cial Science, continued. "Past sue-, cess of the Open Movies movement was due to the high quality or people involved, and to the moral I fibre of Chapel Hill. Both elements : are still in evidence today." i Dr. Dan Okun, a member of the I Department of Public Health, fol-1 lowed Higgins. Okun told the Com-1 mittee they must solicit support! from all segments of the Chapel Hill community. "Society must be made to look upon segregation as reprehensible, for only then will people see segre gation as unjustifiable," Okun! commented. j The Rev. W. R.

This tradition has worked powerfully on the Nepro's side. "Also the lebiral-cqualitarian tradition has always been under enormous pressure to include the Negro because of his disposition to become a genuine participant in American culture, rather than es tablish a separate Afro-American sub-culture." Dr. Bardolph also spoke on the "massive counterforccs" pitted against Negro progress. "For all our belief in individual ism, we penalize individuality more than does any other democratic so ciety. We are one of the most con formitarian societies in the world." The stereotype is another deter rent to Negro progress. Dr. Bar dolph believes. The stereotype is "a complex folklore about differences in biology, temperament, intelli- The conference will conclude to day with an address by the Rev.

"Then it is buttressed by a pseudo - scientific mumbo - jumbo about cephalic index, cranial struc ures, and brain waves; and a pseudo-religion, with its tortured interpretations of the Hamitic curse and the confounding o j tongues at Babel." I Dr. Bardolph noted also that the Negro has in many cases accepted this stereotype and "in time has come to doubt his own capaci ties." The Negro's economic dependence on the white community was also cited as a deterrerent to his ad ( vancement. i Dr. Bardolph then spoke on the history of the Negro's advance ment. "In the emergenet franchise the historian sees one of the two or three most effective instruments of colored America's social redemp tion. "There is the historic importance of the distinguished Negro, the achiever, who has done so much to demolish the stereotype about the Negro's incapacities. "And, paradoxically, I am obliged to attach some importance to the excesses of rabid racists . . . who have excited for the racist's victim the sympathy of white America." Dr. Bardolph cited also the im portance of the development of the law and the new scientific and an thropolical discoveries which have helped to tear down racial preju dice. The two world wars and the de pression of the 30s were further "equalizing forces" by the fact that they were "common catas trophes" in which all America participated. The de-segregation of the armed forces after WWII also had its impact. Dr. Bardolph also pointed out that in the ideological fiht against Nazi ism and later Communism, (Continued on Pae 3) jr . .. . j .'. , I !
