He said this would be a "great disaster." The President told his news con ference he was "not hopeful at all ' about the prospects of a test ban . agreement. He said he be lieves that if a treaty is hot signed this year, there may never be one. Both nuclear powers got' down to renewed negotiating, in Geneva after finishing : their last round - of atmospheric tests. " But Kennedy said there has been no movement in the Soviet position since De cember, when Russia offered to accept two or three on-site inspec tions per year . on Soviet soil as a means of detecting clandestine underground explosions. The United States has been in sisting on seven a year provided the inspection arrangements are adequate. The negotiations have been stalemated on this point since then. 200 Are Evacuated PORT-AU-PRINE, HAITI (UPI) The United States evacuated nearly 200 Americans Wednesday and moved its Caribbean naval forces to within eyesight of Port-au-Prince, heightening tension in this Negro republic. The evacuation of the Ameri cans, most of them dependents of U. S. Embassy and military mis sion personnel, was orderly. But a U. S. Army warrant, officer breathed a deep sigh of relief, saying he was glad to get his family out "before skulls start getting split around here." The United States formally no tified Haiti that American war ships had been moved to within eyesight of Port-au-Prince but outside the six-mile territorial wat ers that Haiti claims. Haitian officials were reported to have told U. S. Ambassador Raymond Thurston that Haiti con sidered the American action "an unfriendly act." But the officials indicated, according to the re ports, Haiti would not make a for mal protest since the integrity of its territorial waters had been ob served. Haiti Makes Charge UNITED NATIONS, N.

Miller said Wednesday the only thing which can defeat the GOP in future national elections is the disunity existing in party ranks Miller spoke at a dinner meet ing of the Capitol Press Club here. "We have too many people in our party who want it all their own way, or they won't play at all," Miller said. 'We have the strength; now, and we have the issues- Are we cer tain of victory. I wish I thought so. But one thing can defeat us, and that is the inability of Republicans to unify and to stay unified." Miller called on all Republicans to unite around the "fundamental areas of agreement" common to all who follow, the GOP banner. He listed these areas as Opposition to 'big govern ment" - , , A . belief that private enter prise can accomplish . more things better thaa g(Mstt. - ' 4- ; 7 Syi t sjffr - - v- ' -j&r n i , . , , ' '" ; vMf-!

The new Yacks Yackety Yack Issue Opens Tomorrow The 1962-63 edition of the Yackety- Yack will be -distributed Friday aft ernoon beginning at l p.m., editor Louis Legum announced yesterday. ID cards are needed to pick up the books at the window behind GM. There are several new features in the 1963 edition. Among them is a beauty section which includes a train, an airplane, a jail, and a graveyard as beckgrounds for twelve of UNC's more appealing co-eds. The Yack beauty court layout comprises part of a new, stylized section, "Carolina: The People and Events," which is a chronicle in pictures and words of the events of the past year. Some of those featured include last spring's Mi ami tennis match, the UMOC con test, and the Buckley-Mayer tus sle. In an effort to give the Yack an intellectual dimension, the open section features a commentary on Carolina life by. John Justice with representative photographs. Last year's Yack placed a dormi tory section in the book, and this year's has expanded it to a 14- pages. Another feature is prepara tion of the football copy to blend a Winston Churchill-war motif with the advantages of Jim Hickey's gladiators. Also, new introductory pages have been added for each section to give the reader a help ful reference. The cover is black this year with gold lettering. Within the book the color scheme is primarily black and green. State Department Official Says Public Opinion Can Influence Foreign Policy Editor's Note: This is the second in a series of reports from UNC delegates to the Naval Academy Foreign Affairs Conference on Southeast Asia. By STU EIZENSTAT and BRICK OETOXGER At the Second Plenary Session, we were addressed by William Jordan, Special Assistant to the Under Secretary of State for Po litical Affairs and a specialist on the influence . of public opinion on foreign policy decisions; Charles DeLeuw, a businessman with in terests in Southeast Asia, Dr. Frank Trager, a member of the Depart ment of Political Affairs cf the Na tional War College since 1961; Ad miral Arthur Radford Ret), form er Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Mr. Jordan felt that public opin ion does influence foreign policy, and much time and energy has been spent stuyisg it. - Over- the irmingham Says, W e Welcome You' By JOEL BUCKLEY A sign, erected by the Cham ber of Commerce on one of the main arteries into the cities, said, "It's nice to have you in Birmingham . . . ;" a police man said, "this area is closed to all whites and especially mem bers of the press" and a Negro said, "Give us Freedom, Free dom, Freedom." Monday, May 6, began like any other day in Birmingham, Ala. The usual people were do ing the usual things. In the heart of the city Negro high school students were on their way to school. Outside of the Negro schools, handbills urging students to "Fight For Free dom First, Then Go To School" were being distributed. The text of these announcements read "Join the 1000 in jail who are making their witness for free dom. Come to the 16th Street Baptist Church now and we'll soon be free. It's up to you to free our teachers, our parents, yourselves and our country." Students began to group to gether outside the school build ings and head in the direction of the Baptist Church. It was 9 a.m. and there still weren't many people on the streets. About an hour later a large crowd had formed outside the church. Motorcycle policemen and newspapermen and photog raphers had begun to arrive. A Negro lady said the church last 20 years, 70 per cent of the 90 per cent of the public who had an opinion felt we should take a positive role in foreign affairs. He stated that there was general sup port by the public for the Laos stand. Mr. DeLeuw, a lively old man, said that the countries of South east Asia needed foreign invest ments to increase their income at a faster rate then their population growth. He stressed the need for mere lenient taxes - and greater guarantees against risks. It seem ed to the delegates that he wanted his cake and to eat it too, as a businessman must be willing to. take certain risks for bis profits. When asked for his definition of a Communist, he brought the house down by stating that a Communist was anyone who played "footsy" with Khrushchev. . Dr. Trager, an extremely articu late man, mentioned that United will be given out starting Friday at 1 p.m. frsm the windows behind GM. ID cards will be re quired. Photo by Jim Wallace was filled to capacity with stu dents who were waiting to learn the plans for the day's activi ties. The police told DTH report ers to move up to 17th St. be cause "we would be safer there." Negroes sitting in front ' of houses across "from the church were - told to move away or face arrest by the local authorities. Negroes sitting on park benches diagonally across from the church were ordered away by a cop on three-wheel cycle. Exodus of Spectators A few moments later three or four hundred students left the church and began walking through the park on their way home. A police radio blared "Keep 'em moving, don't let 'em stop and talk." One of students in the group leaving the church said he left because he didn't want to dem onstrate. Meanwhile park development employees were scouring the area looking for broken glass and sticks which remained as reminders of Saturday's melee in which spectators and police battled for three hours. Little patches on the back of overalls worn by the Negro leaders said "Give me liberty." Inside the church Negro lead ers, Rev. James Bevel, execu tive director of the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Com mittee (SNCC), comedian Dick (Continued on Page 5) States interest in Southeast Asia had been on a low key previous to the Communist takeover in China. He felt the 1963 Geneva Treaty over Laos was a disaster since you can't have a fine coalition govern ment with Communists in it. He stated emphatically that the way to defend Saigon was to penetrate, threaten, undermine, and attack Hanoi. Admiral Radford, speaking on the role of the military in foreign matters, felt it had a direct, pro nounced, .and great influence in shaping foreign policy. Since the inception, of the National Security Council in 1347, the Presidents, have been able to see all views .before deciding. Radford felt that .tie chances of success fcr any foreign policy were low if the military wasn't fully consulted; this was, the reason for the Bay of Pigs fiasco. Thus, while .no military man xm ac tive duty feels himself anarchitect c ost Burden Faces Students By BILL WAUMETT -nu0 tt;. - t Ji Ir y rth Car-such Lna and public education m gen- era! are based on the principle of 1CW tuition and COStS, SO that edu- . .. , , rnJ? favailab!e 1 studnts quoiuied for sucn training.

Fred Shuttleworth. JThey said a halt had been called in massive segregation protests of recent days because "we feel the possibility looms that a settlement might come within the next 24 hours." More; than 2,200 Negroes have been arrested since the civil rights demonstrations . first started April 23. The truce was abandoned when City Court Judge C. H. Brown con victed Dr. King, the Rev. Ralph Abernathy and 25 others on a pa rading without a , permit charge. The charge stemmed from a protest march King led on Good Friday. Get Maximum Terms All 27 were given the maximum sentence 180 days in jail and $100 fine. They were immediately jail ed. King, R. B. Fulton and Rev. Ab ernathy were held on $2,500 bond each. King's brother, Rev. A. D. King, announced that the truce was off. "This makes it obvious. City of ficials are not willing to cooperate. The negotiations are off and plans are being made for the biggest mass demonstration this city has ever seen," Rev. King said. Negro leaders indicated, however, that the big push would not come until at least Thursday. Wyatt Tee Walker, King's top assistant in the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, told a hasti ly called news conference that as a result of King's jailing "we are calling off limited demonstrations that we had planned for this after- of foreign policy, he does feel that attention must, be given to his ad vice.

Mr. William Cleveland, the suave Exe cutive Vice-President and Director of Esso Standard Eastern, Inc., pre sented to us "An "American Busi ness Looks at Southeast Asia." ;, In his speech, he underlined the importance of private enterprise in the region. One of his statements, in particular, was an unfortunate one. He said,.

The original truce announcement had about the same effect as snip ping a fuse from a sputtering pow der-keg. President Points To 6 Ugly Situation9 WASHINGTON (UPI) Presi dent Kennedy pointed to the "ugly situation" in Birmingham, Ala. Wednesday, as a sign to all areas that barriers to equal opportunity and ' treatment of U.S.; citizens must be removed. The President also hailed Bir mingham businessmen for pledging to take "substantial steps" that "would begin to meet the justi fiable needs of the Negro com munity." He had equal praise for Negro leaders working with the white businessmen. 13 Initiated Into Society Thirteen students were inducted into the Amphoterothen Society, second oldest honorary on the cam pus, in ceremonies Tuesday after noon. The new members are: Robin Britt, Haywood Monroe Clayton, Harry DeLung, Whitney Durand, Rufus Edmisten, Tony Harrington, William Imes, Michael Lawler, Larry McDevitt, James Reston, Gil Stallings, William Sullivan and Grant Wheeler. Founded in 1912 to further the art of extemporaneous speaking, the Amphoterothen Society has for the past several years concerned itself with honoring those students whose public speaking abilities have been demonstrated in many fields of campus life. Active undergraduate members this year included Mack Arm strong Janus, Walter Dellinger Recorder, Inman Allen and Dwight Wheless. to United State private business in terest, not the United States Gov ernment? After apologizing, for not having looked at the speech pre vious to his presentation, he stammered and finally agreed that it was contrary only to United States private enterprise to make grants to countries which persist in policies that discourage private investment. Roger Helsman who served with Merrill's Marauders in Burma gave the concluding speech at the last Plenary Session. His speech seem ed more realistic than most cf the ethers we had heard. While men tioning the recent succession in Viet Nam, he stressed the long, Lard road ahead.

Cameron said that in addition to free housing, free linen would, also be supplied. Class Reunions Planned j Much of the housing space in Ehringhaus will be used by alum ni holding class reunions. According to Mrs. Lynda Best of the Alumni Office, seven class reunions are being planned. In ad dition to these, the Old Students Club plans to hold a reunion. The Old Students Club, composed of some 790 members, dates from 1912 on back. Mrs. Best said that so far only 12 of the old timers have said they would be here. "But there is still several weeks left," she add ed. She said that 109 letters had been sent out to members of the class of '13. They will be cele brating their 50 year reunion. The class of '13, composed of approximately 200 members will have their 45th reunion.

"Revenues alone," the report continues, "were pledged as se curity for only 37 per cent of the 425 loans made through the Col lege Housing Loan Program in fiscal 1957-58." But while the report doubts that all 37 per cent of these projects were completely self-liquidating, this type of finance has been suc cessfully usrri at Carolina. The nuestion is whether this practice should be continued in a time of rising student costs aaa with an anticipated mushrooming of college enrollment. The arguments against complete self-liquidation include these ques tions: Should students be expected to pay for capital improvements to the physical plant of the u rover- r , Should the dormitory student pay for capital improvements while the student living off-campus ooes not? Will this particular increase, or further increases, make off-campus housing competitive with dormi tory housing? The first two questions must re ceive opposite answers. If the dormitory student should pay for capital improvements, thfn a Innf f mrlif inn is vinlntv! anri th. lnw nt nrinHnio nf 1if. watinn is arnarntlv dis- carded. A program of the scope propos ed by the legislature seems to mean there is no limit to the costs that .students may be asked to bear. The third and fourth questions are also related. If the town stu dent does not share in dormitory costs, it means that more dorm rooms will be available, tending to keep down the demand for off campus housing and thereby keep ing apartment rents down. At the same time, a raise in dorm rent means oif-campus hous ing may become competitive with none of the restrictions placed oa dorm residents. The Uni verify administration has argued against self-liquidation, but its passage is now prob able. More dorm housing must be built, as evidenced by the planned three-man rooms for next fall. There is a limit to three-man rooms, however, in that the last five dorms have been constructed with fixed furniture, making im possible the addition of a third resident.
