V"" ""' 57 Seventy-One Years of Editorial Freedom Offices In Graham Memorial CHAPEL HILL, NORTH CAROLINA, SATURDAY, MAY 11, 1963 UPI Wire Service 4 Seniors Named For Yack's Frank Graham Award; Given This Year For First Time , The Yackety ' Yack announced today the inauguration of " the Frank Porter Graham Award for Outstanding seniors. The first re cipients of the award are Joe Craver, Walter Dellinger, Henry Mayer, and Bill Sullivan. The Graham Award is an in novation of the Yack and its re cipients will be named and fea tured in the Yack every year. "To honor the achievements of Dr. Frank P. Graham as Presi Council Suspends Two Men Students Two students were found guilty and placed on suspension for viola tions of the Honor Code in two Men's Council trials Thursday night. One student was charged with stealing books from Lenoir Hall, sell ing them to the Book Exchange, and lying to an employee of the Book Exchange. He pled and was found innocent of lying, but was found guilty of stealing the books. The council's report said that due to the seriousness of the offense and because the student had been previously suspended for the Honor Subversion Charges Lodged Against 3 Indiana Students BLOOMINGTON, Indiana Three Indiana University students, all members of the Young Socialist Al liance, were indicted recently un der the provisions of a 1951 state-anti-subversive act. The Monroe County Grand Jury, which brought the indictment, charged that the three students as sembled on March 25 of this year "for the purpose of advocating or teaching the doctrine that the gov ernment of the United States or the State of Indiana should be ov erthrown by force, violence, or other unlawful means, voluntarily participating therein by their pres ence, aid or instigation, and as of ficers of a Trotskyite Communist organization called the Young So cialist Alliance, the youth group of the Socialist Workers' Party." The students named in the indict ment were Ralph Levitt and James Bingham of Indianapolis, and Tom Morgan of Terre Haute, Ind. The three are free on bail. The trail will probably not come for months, as the American Civil Liberties Union and other interested parties plan to enter Amicus Curiae briefs, which may take months to prepare. The YSA's troubles at Indiana began last October, when a num ber of YSA members joined in demonstrations against the block ade of the island of Cuba by the Kennedy Administration. The dem onstrators were jostled and threat ened by a crowd of thousands. The Monroe County prosecutor, Thom as Hoadley, announced that he planned to investigate the YSA to determine if they had incited a riot. The YSA charged that Hoadley dropped charges against two non students also involved in the Oc tober disturbance. One of the two released is alleged to have hit a policeman, and the other to have slugged a YSA member. Clianin Picked UP Chairman Mike Chanin was elected to serve a second term as Chairman of the University Party at its meeting Tuesday night. Also re-elected were Bo Edwards as vice-chairman, and Dick Jonas as Treasurer. Wendy Cook was elected Secretary and David Rowe was elected Sergeant-at-Arms during the same meeting. Chairman Chanin said he was pleased to be working with Ed wards and Jonas again because they had shown themselves to be very capable in the areas in which they worked last year. He added, "Miss Cook should bring much experience into the position of Secretary as she was President of the student body at the school she attended before transferring to Carolina. She has many ideas on how women students may play a more active role in Student Government dent of the University, U. S. Senator, and special UN mediator, the Yack is proud to distinguish the award with the name of this humanitarian. "A committee of juniors acting with the editor of the Yack and selected by him, determined the recipients on the basis of aca demic excellence (a minimum 3.0 average), campus participation, and personal character. The award is not limited on the basis of sex. Code violation, he was given a sen tence of indefinite suspension with the recommendation that he never be readmitted to the University. In the other case, a student pled and -was found guilty of stealing a considerable amount of money from another student. When first confronted by his ac cusers, the defendant had declined to comment, but turned himself in to the Dean of Men's Office the following day. He was placed on definite suspen sion for one full academic semes- i ter. Hoadley . publically suggested that the Indiana University admin istration throw the YSA chapter off campus in a letter to a local paper in February. Joseph Ewers, assist ant to Indiana University President Elvis Stahr, said that the Hoadley statement on the YSA was sent to the papers before the university was notified of it. Samuel E. Braden, a vice-president of the university, issued a statement saying that "it is very difficult to understand why the prosecuting attorney, if he believ ed he had discovered a violation of the law, decided not to bring it to the attention of the university, but instead issued a statement to the press." IU President Stahr requested the State of Indiana Attny. Gen. to issue an interpretation as to wheth er or not the YSA is in violation of the 1951 statute. The AG has yet to do so, and the university is continuing to recognize the YSA as a legitimate group until proven otherwise. -But the story really broke when YSA national secretary LeRoy Mc Rae spoke in Bloomington at a meeting attended by about 125 per sons. It is charged that the specif ic violation of the state anti-subversive statute 1 occurred at that meeting. The content of McRae's speech centered around the civil rights struggle of the- American Negro. Some months ago the Indiana campus was hit by a narcotics scandal, several students being ar rested for illegal possession of nar cotics. Prosecutor Hoadley declar ed that the YSA "might" have been using narcotics to attract new members. A YSA spokesman said that the narcotics charge went be fore the grand jury, but could not be checked since no list of names of YSA members existed. The YSA has also charged that Hoadley has said that a Moscow- Byerly Finds Community Papers Taking Big Gain Community newspaper dailyj and weekly in the 10 largest' metropolitan areas of the United States have grown 30 times faster in circulation since World War II as have big city dalies in the same areas. That is , a finding by a veteran publisher and professor of Journalism here. Prof. Kenneth R. Byerly of the UXC School of Journalism and former publisher of newspapers in Montana and Wyoming has an nounced findings which reveal a 17-year circulation increase for community dailies and weeklies at 83.3 per cent. That is almost 30 times as great as the 3.0 per cent growth for metropolitan dailies in the same area. The same trend seems to be con "As structured, this award is to be presented to no more than four seniors annually. In its in sistence upon highest quality, the Yack hopes to make the award truly meaningful and representa tive of the greatness of Dr. Gra ham." Craver, from Shelby, was cap tain of this year's football team, and an All-ACC selection. He is also a Morehead Scholar, and a member of the Order of the Gold en Fleece and the Order of the Old Well. Dellinger, who lives in Char lotte, is reading for honors in po litical science, and was the past chairman of the Men's Honor Council. He is a member of the Order of the Golden Fleece, the Order of the Grail, and the Order of the Old Well. In the history honors program, Mayer, from Washington, D.C, has distinguished himself as chair man of the Carolina Forum and as news editor of the DTH. He is also in Phi Beta Kappa, the Order of the Golden Fleece and the Order of the Old Well. Sullivan, from Knoxville, Tenn., is a Morehead Scholar and a member of Phi Beta Kappa, as well as the Order of the Golden Fleece, the Order of the Grail and the Order of the Old Well. His campus activities include service as president of the IFC. trained man and wife team was sent to the IU campus to organize the YSA. The YSA has pointed out that no Moscow agent could pds- j sibly be sent to organize a Trotsky ite group. Indiana University took the posi tion over the weekend that the three IU students indicted un charges of subversive activity would be con sidered innocent until and unless proven guilty. A spokesman said the students would remain consid ered in good standing. The students were charged with having violated a state anti-subversive law by attending a meet ing where the speaker advocated the forcible overthrow of the U. S. government. All three, Ralph Lev itt, James Bingham, and Thomas Morgan, are officers of the IU chapter of the Young Socialist Al liance, youth division of the tiny Socialist Workers' Party. "The important thing in this case," said County Prosecutor Thomas A. Hoadley, who obtained the indictment, "is to get this or ganization off the campus. The university is a department of the state government." Meanwhile, Robert Risk,' head of the Indiana Civil Liberties Union, asserted that the state statute the students were charged with violat ing is unconstitutional. The law forbids advocating the overthrow of the U. S. or Inidana governments. Risk cited a 1956 Supreme Court decision overturning a similar Pennsylvania law on the grounds that federal law prempts state law in matters of national security. Risk said that his organization will enter the case. The YSA this week denied that the purpose of the meeting, held at the student union, was to advocate the violent overthrow of any gov ernment. The group called the move a "witch hunt" and an ef fort by Hoadley to enhance his political career. tinuing, stated Byerly, since 1962 Circulation of community news papers has grown twice as rapidly as the population of the metro politan areas in which they are located. The 10 areas studied are design ed by the principal city in each area: Boston, Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles, New York City, Phil adelphia, Pittsburgh, , St. Louis, San Francisco, a5iungton, D.C.

The change in name followed their final rec ommendation except for the change of a comma to an "of". The Senate approved the name without objection after Sen. Rob ert Lee Humber of Pitt urged passage of the "compromise name." Both Woman's College and State will be able under the bill to ad mit both male and female stu dents and grant undergraduate de grees in liberal arts as well as in the . specialized courses at the schools.

"However, the way feel ings were of some it might defeat a good education bill," he said. "And I know six kids who might never see the inside of a college if they couldn't go . to Wilmington College," which would be brought into the state system under the bill and upgraded to a four-year school.

The Editor's Roundtable, as re organized this year, will coordinate the dorm newspapers and enable the dorm editors to meet and ex change ideas. It would in no way effect the editorial policy of the papers, but merely perform any service that could otherwise not be obtained. Richard Westin (Ind.-DMI) led the drive against , Harrell, citing his performance as president of the freshman class. . "Harrell has not shown leader ship in this position, and I feel that a man's potential alone is .not enough to justify our approval of this appointment", . . commented Westin.

The final vote, which was non partisan, was 20-19. It was the first time since 1957 that a legislature had refused to confirm a presi dential appointment. In other action, the legislature unanimously passed a bill intro duced by Bob Jones (UP-TMI) to appropriate $60 from the unap propriated balance to the WRC. The money will be used to cover a deficit arising from the WRC-CWC banquet this year at the Carolina Inn. . . Arthur Hays (SP-DMIV) gave a detailed report on the budget for the coming school year. Time did not permit completion of the re port, and further discussion will be held in the special session Monday night. The legislature will vote on the budget item by item after the completion of the report. ity According to the Undergraduate Bulletin (pg. 87), the "Women's n j . - 7rutc v,vu u iv m ,UtllUIitiIL WHICH i.UliIIU- lates all the rules for women stn. dents which pertain to their so cial standards and welfare. . . . "The Council works closely with the Women's Council to interpret with accuracy and justice the leg islative and pudicial problems of women students." On April 20, a letter was sent to members of the Board of Trus tees, and to certain faculty mem bers and alumni to clarify the March 13 action of the WRC con cerning the apartment rule. In this letter it was stated: "The Women's Residence Coun cil possesses the sole authority to formulate the social rules gov erning women students." The' two statements mean that the WRC has the sole power to legislate all rules for women stu dents which are enforced through the student judicial system.

In a statement read for them in the House yesterday, CU President William Friday and State College Chancellor John Caldwell, said they did not entertain the thought that any policy is perfect, but "responding to the request made of us, it is our judgment that our present position, including the dis continuance of the Dixie Classic, is a sound and defensible one among the solutions that are pas sible. The joint statement came one month after the House had asked Friday and Caldwell to "restudy and give serious consideration of the feasibility and desirability of reinstating" the Christmas holi day tournament held in Raleigh. The basketball tournament was discontinued on May 22, 1061. Rep. Sam Whitehurst of Craven "served notice" yesterday that the report "was not complete" and he would ask for another report. "All they have done is give a defense," he said. "I do not think the report is complete and I regret it was reported this way." The statement said the Univer sity had to take certain action, "including discontinuance of the Dixie Classic, to stem the de terioration that had befallen the sport and to announce its resolve to keep a sensible perspective on the place of intercollegiate ath- Jeucs m rauw"01; ,. , . , .

In March, one student was permitted to withdraw from the University at Chapel Hill for participation in bribery. In May, another student at the Univer sity was suspended for initial mis statement and subsequent conceal ment' of facts relevant to bribery attempts. In May, 1361, two basketball players at State College, who were temporarily not in residence, '.ere informed that they -would not be permitted to re-enter the College because of particpiation in bribery. At the same time, another State College player was dismissed for the same offense.
