Seventy-One Years of Editorial Freedom Offices In Graham Memorial CHAPEL HILL, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, MAY 16, 1963 UPI Wire Service Cm "x &c 14 New Faculty Members Named Fourteen new faculty mem bers have been appointed to the staff here it was announced to day by UNC Chancellor William B. Aycock with the approval of President William C. Friday and the Board of Trustees. The new faculty members and the departments in which they will serve are: Dewitt Clinton Dearborn, professor, School of Business Administration, for merly of Carnegie Institute of Technology; Girard E. Lenski, professor, Department of Sociology-Anthropology formerly of the University of Michigan; John W. Dixon Jr., associate profes sor, Department of Religion, formerly of Florida Presbyterian College; Ernest Linwood Folk III, associate professor, School of Law, formerly of the Univer sity of South Carolina. Also, Richard Warren Lieban, associate professor, Department Creativity Inspected By Panel This is the first of a series of four articles on the recent Response Conference on "The Pursuit of Excellence in the Fine Arts" at Princeton University. By STEPHEN DENNIS The panel of the Princeton Re sponse Conference on "The Distri bution of the Performing Arts" was held in McCarter Theatre. The participants were S. L. Weaver, Chairman of the Board of Mc-Cann-Erickson; Newton Minow, Chairman of the Federal Com munications Commission; August Heckscher, Special Consultant on the Arts to the White House; and Robert Whitehead, Director of the Lincoln Center Repertory Theatre. The panel opened its considera tion of problems facing creativity and excellence in arts today with' a consideration of the statement by Edward Albee the night before that the audience deserves what it gets. Albee had further said that today there is not a dictatorship of the top, as in the Soviet Union, but a dictatorship of the bottom in the arts in America. Mr. Heckscher agreed that we are living in an unusual era with regard to the arts that people are now beginning to enjoy the arts as they never have before. He attributed this to our present pros perity and to a new sense of pur pose. To him, government has re sponsibility in the area of the arts, just as it has in any other field af fecting the happiness of its people. " - Mr. Weaver believes we are now capable, because of the advances of technology, of having an all people elite. Mr. Minow disagreed, citing H. L. Mencken's statement that "No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people." He said this dictum has been taken too liberally by American producers. Weaver sees problems of com munication for today's artist, par ticularly for the composer and playwright. Painting does not re quire someone to go between the artist and his public, he noted, as a symphony does. Before it can be heard, it must be performed by an orchestra; the composer cannot present it to the public without their help. As an example of the awkward situations which the present sys tem of television patronage can produce Minor cited the instances of a GE sponsorship of Kipling s '-'The Light That Failed," when GE insisted in having the title changed and a Ford program which had the Chrysler building deleted from the New York skyline. Weaver argued for a magazine concept of television, with sepa rate departments for almost all areas of consideration in viewing tastes. He stressed the necessity of hucksterism to sell certain pro grams, such as ballet, to a large American audience, adding that he wants to bring the same audience through its nouveau-riche period as quickly as possible. Whitehead said that the death word in culture is to set up some- uiuig uetduse it is tuiiuiai vigorous.' 'I even hate the word "theatre" sometimes.' NEWLY ELECTED OFFICERS Y.D.C.

Grant Given To RTVMP Department The UNC Department of Radio, Television and Motion Pictures. (RTVMP) is the recipient of a $2,500 grant from the Music Cor poration of America (MCA) . with headquarters in New York City. The grant : will be used by the RTVMP Department to establish The MCA Scholarship of Graduate Fellowship in Creative Writing. The grant will be awarded to a student, chosen by a selection committee, who has shown exceptional talent in the field of creative writing for the performing arts. A faculty committee composed of Associate Professor John S. Clay ton, and Instructor Ralph Dennis of the RTVMP Department and Harry Davis, professor and chair man of the Department of Drama tic Art, will select the recipient of the first award. The scholarship or fellowship will be given for the scholastic year, 1963-64. It is expected that the recipient of the scholarship or fellowship will be enrolled for two semesters of the 1963-64 year in television, mo tion picture or stage playwritmg courses at the advanced level. MCA has offered to act, if re quested, in a professional advisory capacity. Writing completed dur ing the term of the award may be submitted to MCA for criticism. Young Republican Officers Chosen Charles Hooks, rising Junior from Goldsboro, was elected president of the UNC Young Republican Club at the annual election meeting last night. In accepting the office Hooks praised outgoing president Bud Broome for his work during the past year and pledged himself to continuing the development of the YRC on campus. Dr. Harland: Joker, Artist, By R, LEE FERRELL "I may have to get a job oper ating an elevator when I'm retired just so I'll be near people. Yes sir, I'm going to miss all these students," Dr. J. Penrose Har land says. "Mr. Chips," professor of arch aeology in the Classics Depart ment, will be retired in June after 3 years of teaching at UNC. Dr. Harland's students have numbered in the thousands. Many of them like Governor 'Terry San ford, Andy Griffith,- Gordon and Bowman Gray, Robert Ruark are cow famous. - - "One year alone ; I : had-, over 1.000 students," . Dr. Harland re- mIIs. his cherubic face .lighting ud with a smile. ;- . His courses are as much "Har land" as classical archaeology. . "From the very first 'Chick' Harland had large elates of the Ehringhaus Men Throw Water Bombs Police C(dled When Cab Drivers Hit By FRED SEELY Campus police were called to Ehringhaus dormitory last night after three cab drivers were at tacked with a barrage of water bombs thrown from balconies of the dorms. A. J. Beaumont, chief of the Campus Police, was called in after cabs from the Tar Heel and Caro lina Cab Companies were pelted with water. "The noise started about ten o'clock and continued up until about 11," he said. "It started again about 12:30 and we didn't receive a call from anyone, including the dorm advisors and the dorm head master. "(The water bombing) has been going on all year, but not with the intensity we have seen lately," commented Beaumont. "It's getting to be a real game now, with the students setting up traps for the cabbies. "It's not a question of just one fellow sneaking out. WTiole bal conies are full of students, jeer ing, yelling, asking what harm a little water will do. "I told them, You don't seem to know what the Honor System is. You allow these things to go on and you just laugh at the fellows who do it, instead of turning them in to the IDC or the Honor Coun cil'." "I think that it's happening be cause this is a freshman dorm, with very few upperclassmen around," he added. "I hope that we can get more cooperation in the future from the residents, as the situation can get very serious." "I would hate to have one of my own men nit with a pop bottle some night, and one of these days one of the cab drivers is going to get real mad and then no telling what will happen."

Vew Books To Be Used Freshman English Courses Changed By GINGER WHITE Next year's freshmen will be in troduced to a new type of English course, according to James Gas-iDep Sophomore English. The course will continue to be es sentially a composition course, but the subject matter from which themes and term papers come will be changed. The freshman will at first use the "Harbrace College Handbook." Af ter a brief period of orientation a new book, "Writing Prose," will be used for further instruction in rhetoric. "We are going to put less em phasis on teacing te mecaichsnhi phasis on teaching the mechanics of writing next year," stated Dr. Gaskin. "This is based on the fact that every year the College Board scores for incoming freshmen are higher. Freshmen should be able to handle more writing with less instruction in the basic fundament- Legislature Takes Action On Budget By JOEL BULKLEY Final action on the proposed $163,- 583 Student Government budget for next year is expected at tonight's session of Student Legislature. SL yesterday continued to slash away budget requests submitted by cam pus organizations in an effort to salvage some money for an unap propriated balance. The balance stood at $85.30 at the close of yes terday's afternoon meeting. Legislature chopped $113 off the Carolina Women's Council request, leaving its total at $505. Items de leted included an $80 orientation breakfast; a $25 bridge tournament; and an $8 appropriation for the CWC's ' part in the campus guide service. A motion, introduced by Bill Slraughn, (SP) to bar student gov ernment from appropriating any money to the Carolina Quarterly literary magazine was overwhelm ingly defeated. 36 Years Here "I told him I had never touched a tuba in my life, much less play - led one. But he wouldn't take no for an answer, and it was a long j time before he would believe me," she went on. I "What had happened was Dr. Harland had wired the ship's chief j musician that I was a famous tubajversity on some findings, one of player, but was very bashful and Would need lots of encourage ment. "Once Mrs. Harland tried and, tried to get him -to rake the. leaves; in the front yard," Miss .car- rmchael continued. "Then one aft ernoon she had a tea. .Did -Dr. ! Harland rake the leaves? No, he simply put up a sign saying. 'Leaves Artistically Arranged by J.P-H. " Dr. Harlar.d has lectured in many parts of the country on las archaeological findings. His aud iences have "ragged from- archae-j als of grammar." During the first semester, a book called "The Story at Work, by J Jessie Rehder of the UNC English . t ... . . semester will end with Edith Whar ton's "Ethan Frome." English 2 will discard the fa miliar "The Age of Anxiety" book let and replace it with a study of what Dr. Gaskin considers a more entertaining, comprehensive group of literary works. Students will study "The Great Gatsby," "Huck Finn," "The Importance of Being Earnest," "Othello," the play "J. B.'and an anthology of poems. In connection with the study of "J. B." the Playmakers will pro duce the play in March of next year. "We believe these changes will make the freshman course more interesting to students and teachers alike," said Dr. Gaskin. "The changes will be effective as of the first semester of this summer school." SL, however, cut the Quarterly's equest of $200 for publicity and travel, and then added $50 to the miscellaneous category (now $100). Legislature re-convened last night to consider budget proposals for the Daily Tar Heel, the Yackety- Yack, the Senior Class, the athletic councils and the 1964 Symposiums. ' Legislature reversed an earlier precedent and considered propos ed appropriation increases, amount ing to $895 for four campus or ganizations, at a special session Tuesday night. SL voted Monday to delete requests ' totaling $545 from three others. Legislature added $220 to the State Affairs Committee request- Symphony Home For 2-Day Stand Dr. Benjamin F. Swalin brings the 65-member North Carolina Symphony Orchestra "home" for a performance tonight in Me morial Hll. The parents Symphony Society maintains its year-round headquarters on the UNC campus. The concert for adult and stu dent members of the Symphony Society, and UNC students, will present the young virtuoso Am erican pianist, William Alton, now a member of the faculty at Woman's College. Mr. Alton, a student of Ed ward Kilenyi and Ernst von Dohnanyi at Florida State Uni versity where he received both his bachelor's and master's de grees in music, was the 1961 winner of the National Federa tion of Music Club's biennial Young Artist competitions. He will play the Bela Bartok piano concerto No. 3, written the year of the composer's death in 1845. The last eighteen measures of the orchestral score, in fact, were completed by a close friend of the composer, Tibor Serly. Also programmed are the Brahms Fourth Symphony, the "Overture to the Opera 'Mas querade' " by Carl August Niel Scholar ological to medical societies, from ' college groups to civic and church clubs. Dr. B. L. Ullman. professor Emeritus of Classics at UNC, says Harland makes an unusual audi tor, too. "I gave a program at Duke Uni which was a chap buried in lead coffin," Dr. Ullman-said. "A coupIp nf ffovs later T tp- ceived a letter --from a 'J P. Hootle.' It was written as though by a man without much sense.

In addition, the Edward Ben jamin Commission for 1963 for "quiet and restful music" will provide the hearing of Dr. Swalin's new composition, "Sun day in Chapel Hill." The performance here is one of several planned during the last few weeks of the present spring tour of the Symphony its 18th tour since 1946 of the major urban cities of North Carolina and many of the small er rural communities. The North Carolina Symphony was the first professional orches tra to receive a portion of its annual maintenance from State subsidies. Since 1944, the or chestra has been partially sup ported through a biennial appro priation of the General Assem bly. The remainder of its finan cial support is through member ships in the local chapters of the Symphony throughout the State. WUNC-FM To Have Jazz Hour Tonight Tonight is jazz night in WUNC FM radio. Jazz music will be the feature of the station's final musical spectacu lar - which will be presented this evening on "Hillside Jazz." The . special program, hosted by newly appointed station manager Frost Branon, will begin at 10:15 following the news program. The 40-minute, weekly program "Hillside Jazz" has had its format extended for this special "jazz marathon."

In f Jror least 17 of the planned 22 orbits But as the "go, no-go" decision approached, there was little doubt in Mercury control headquarters here that "Gordo" Cooper would go the whole 22-orbit route. Cooper rose into the sky atop an Atlas rocket at 9:04 EDT. His spacecraft hit the "keyhole in the sky" with such incredible pre cision that iMercury control com puters calculated the orbit would theoretically allow for 92 swings around the earth.

Library officials said yester day that there will be no charge on books returned today, regard less of when they were due. They urged students to return any books they are not using. High School Science Session Slated Here By MAT FRIED.LN Fifty-six outstanding science-oriented high school students, most from North Carolina, will get a taste of UNC college life here this sum mer at the "Special Science and Mathematics Program for Rising High School Seniors." The students will take a math and science course, live in Ehring haus Dorm, and even spend a Sat urday evening at Woman's College. "The program gives the student insight into what college life is like at Carolina," says Dr. Samuel B. Knight of Chemistry, director of the third annual program. "It helps them decide what their interests really are, and definitely helps bring some of the top science stu dents to Chapel Hill." Because of limited enrollment, almost 500 applicants had to be turned down, and there were many disappointments Dr. Knight explains that size must be limited both to keep the program effective and be cause the sponsoring National Scien ce Foundation, gave them a flat grant of $22,580 for this summer . Average expense for the six weeks is $165, but those who cannot af ford it are given financial aid. "We try to send letters to those we turn down telling them that they are good and that we would like to 4 have them', says Dr. Knight, "but we can't take over, fifty." - There will be 42 .students from North Carolina, 6 from Virginia, three from South Carolina, and one each from West Virginia, Tennes see, New Jersey ' and Ohio. aca j mootlie E o I FIBS 1L little cat nap and it felt good." That was over California on his second orbit. Cooper Not Fatigued He said there were no signs of fatigue or restlessness, and that all ox the astronaut's bodily me chanisms and senses were work ing well. "He sounds exceptionally alert and ready to go on," Berry said. Kraft said Cooper was "taking pictures as he sees fit" to make a photographic record of the flight. Mercury officials summed it all up by saying that the confident spaceman from Shawnee, Okla., was "very much on top of his mission." If Cooper goes the whole route as expected, he will splash dcr.vn in the Pacific Ocean about 7:20 p.m., EDT Thursday after a trip of 575,000 miles and the rare ex perience of seeing 22 sunsets in less than two days. Yacks Burned By Left-Out Graduates Carolina's first book-burning in many years was held by approxi- crowd until campus police arrived 011 tne scene. Seven yearbooks wem. up in names, The burning was held in response ' to a sign on the seventh floor of the stacks saying, "Come to the Yack Burning, 7 p.m., May 14, Y-Court." The sign had been on display for a week, According'to Herb Gucrry, a par- : ticipant in the demonstration, a group of students gathered in Y- Court at 7 and waited for some one to lead the book-burning. "By about 7:15 no one had come, so one boy said, 'If no one else is going to do something, I will.' He started ripping the pages from his yearbook and the rest of us joined in," said Guerry. "After about five minutes we had a pile of pages three feet high and six feet across. Then we lit it." No charges were filed by campus police following the burning, though Chief A. J. Beaumont col lected several ID cards. will take a math course and either chemistry or biology. They are giv en regular final examinations and receive grades, but would not auto matically receive advanced place ment should they come to college here. All will room in Ehringhaus under the guidance of two counselors who are lab instructors in zoology and chemistry. Two members of the Mathematics deportment and one each from chemistry and biology will teach the courses. In addition, there will be special lectures from other faculty members. The students were selected on the basis of high school record, any special tests they may have had, recommendations, and unusual in terests and hobbies. Applications were received from ail over the nation. "We try to hold to this area," says Dr. Knight, "because schools in other areas have their own programs, but we want two or three from 'way out'." Those interested in certain areas of science are given tours, such as through the physics and botar.y departments, the medical school, or the School of Health Affairs. Some are taken to the plane farixm "But they don't see a show," says Dr. Knight "We want someone to explain how the machine works." The students day will be a busy one. He will spend two and one-half hours a morning in class, plus af ternoons in labs or organized dis cussion groups. Swimming and other recreational activities will be a daily part of the program.
