UNC Asks For Dismissal Of Carter Case UNC has claimed that it was not given an opportunity to refute vital evidence presented in the case of a Chapel Hill coed charged with cheating. In papers filed in Wake Superior Court in. Raleigh last week, the University claimed it had been, denied due process of law in a hearing before Judge Heman Clark1 in December, 1962, and moved for dismissal of a motion asking that it be directed to carry out Judge Clark's order la the case, coed Anne Royal Carter was convicted by the Wom en's Council of cheating on a Lat in examination in 1961. 1 The verdict was upheld by the administration and trustees of the University, and the case was ap pealed to the Superior Court. In a hearing before Judge Clark in December, 1962, evidence was; produced tending to show mat: Miss Carter was innocent ana Judge Clark ordered the case re manded to the trustees and ad- administration for action in light of the new evidence. Miss Carter had contended that, in taking" an examination to make up for one she had missed, she gave the answers to questions on a sheet of paper given her by her professor, John Gatlin. He said that she gave the an swers to the original examination rather "than the make-up test he had prepared. -Miss Carter said she wrote Gat- lin's name on the back of the test: paper she took. In the hearing before Judge Clark, the origi nal test questions were discovered and it was found that Gatlin's itame was written on tne oacK oi the questions. Judge Clark said that the nameee to all University students, on the back of the questions was in Miss Carter's handwriting, which corroborated her story of, the incident. Two weeks ago Miss Carter's at torney, in papers filed in Wake Superior Court, asked that the (University be ordered to show, cause why it had not taken any action in the matter following the Judge's order. A hearing on the motion was scheduled for last lUHiunuea on rage a Police Chief W. D. Blake said that this was the second largest demonstration on record in Chap, el Hill, the first being the May 25th march, also sponsored by the Committee for Open Busin ess. The next day, Sunday, 180 dem onstrators marched to the Col onial Drug Store from St. Jo seph's and sang freedom songs in front of that establishment. Both demonstrations were peaceful and no arrests were made. The Open Business Committee picketing of the Colonial Drug Store was halted last weekend for 24 hours after one of the picket ers reported that he had been threatened. As it developed, the reported threat was only a mis understanding and picketing was resumed Sunday evening. No other incidents were reported on the picket line. On Tuesday night, there was a meeting of the Committee for Open Business at the Roberson St. Community Center where about 100 Negroes and Whites heard Jesse Jackson, a 21-year-old leader in the Greensboro in tegration movement, speak. Jackson is the president-elect of the Student Government at North Carolina A & T College and is free under a total of $18,000 in bail bonds after be ing charged with inciting riots a number of times. In his speech, Jackson said, '"Any mayor, city councilman, governor or president who stands against the flow of the tides of history will be hurt politically, morally and spiritually The Committee also heard from Robert V. N. Brown who reported that participation in demonstrations had been increas ing considerably. The regular Wednesday dem onstration against the Colonial Drug Store was scheduled for 5:30 p.m. yesterday afternoon. Two more marches are schedul ed for this weekend. Both will be at 12:30 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. These demonstrations have been especially noted since there have been few in the state since Governor Sanford's meeting with Negro leaders two weeks ago.

Playmakers Stage 'Marriage Wheel9 "Marriage Wheel," written and directed by Joel Climenhaga, will be presented by the Playmakers at Graham Memorial at 8 p.m., Sunday, July 7-Tuesday, July, 9. The play is based on the early marriage custom practiced by Moravians under which people married according to lot. The names of all eligible women were. put on one list and all eligible men on another. Those whose names were at the top of the lists were brought together in the Bishop's home for one hour. During this hour they were to get acquainted and decide whether or not they wanted to get married. If the man chose not to marry the woman, his name would merely go to the bottom of the list; but the reiected woman would be doomed to being an old maid. The only way she could escape her fate would be for the rejector to change his mind and marry her. The play concerns rebellion against the lot. In it, two families, the Engstrond's: Martha, Eleazar, and Daniel; and the Martin's: Sa rah, Luke, and Esther, come into conflict. In Act- I, Martha Engstrond's and Luke Martin's names come to the top of the lists. They would have married but were stopped by several previous events. Daniel, Martha's brother, was supposed to marry Esther, Luke's sister, but had refused because an older brother felt Esther's dow ery was not large enough. ecide On Rocky Mount, anticipates with a fireworks display, which will Photo by Jim Wallace This refusal angers Luke so he decided to refuse Martha. The play was first produced at UCLA, then at the Margo Jones Theatre, Dallas, Texas, and by the Pasadena Playhouse in California. According to Climenhaga, "This play is no grim, psychological drama. It is a comedy." He feels that it entertains and pleases at the same time making a person think. The production will be staged in the round ' featuring Pam ela Kester in the female lead nLaying Martha Engstrund. and Beverly Wilkinson in ,the male lead playing Luke Martin. The Bishop's part is played by Robert Malone: Eleazar by Fred' erick Lubs; Daniel by John David Richardson; Sarah by Sally Cook: and Esther by Mary Kyle Watson TWO FACULTY MEMBERS Two new faculty members and a new graduate program have been added in the Department of Environmental Sciences and En- gineering of the UNC School of Public Health.

Meet Action Anti-Gag Law Support Given By JOEL BULKLEY r" The Executive Committee of the ' Consolidated University Board of Trustees will meet Monday morn ing in Raleigh to consider what . steps it will take to deal with the recent enactment of a law banning Communist speakers from state-supported colleges and universities. The Committee Is expected to act on two separate questions concerning the measure how it will go about enforcing it and what, if any, steps will be taken to gain the law's repeal. ; Chancellor William B. Aycock yesterday echoed the sentiments of educators throughout the state saying, "We strongly urge that the trustees seek repeal of this law at the earliest practicable date." Earlier this week Dr. Clarence Poe, editor of the Progressive Farmer, MaJ. L. P. McLendon, chairman of the Board of Higher Education and Irving Carlyle, chairman of the Governor's Com mission on Education Beyond the High School, spoke out against the bill. i Aycock commented that the 12 member committee would prob ably delegate authority for en forcing this law barring known Communists or anyone who had taken the Fifth Amendment in a Communist investigation from speaking on state-supported cam puses to one of three groups. ; He said they might form a special committee to enforce it, place the responsibility of en forcing it with CU President Wil liam Friday or delegate it to (Continued on Page 6) Student Interns Working In D.
