Spirit H On peaker lammed By BOB SAJVISOT This is the first in a series of polls of campus opinion on a Wide variety of subjects. Carolina student spirit has been severely criticized in past years. Some say the students only cheer "when the team wins and stay silent when the team does badly. Some counter with the suggestion that if the team, including the r subs, showed more spirit, the fans - would be more responsive. . This issue was taken to Lenoir .'Eall and Y-Court. ; Coy Willard, Ehringhaus fresh man: "The team could have done , better if the student body had shown more spirit. This is our - school and -we've got to back the team no matter how badly they're doing." Dianne Littlefield, Cobb junior: "Very poor but it's hard to have r school spirit when there's not too much to back." John Calhoun, off-campus soph: ' "Pretty good, but not as good as year before last." George Anne Moss, off-campus: ' "It seemed good from where I tat, but the booing was out of " taste at times." Dozier Hasty, Ehringhaus fresh man: "It was good when the team was doing well, but that's about it." Gretchen Schoof, Alderman jun ior: "I was impressed, but may be it's because I'm a transfer student from a small school. From what I've heard, it wasn't too " good." Don Curtis, off-campus senior: "I thought the school spirit was good while we were ahead, and the only thing our spirit needs to , be excellent is a winning sea-son." Die , Miss.

Only nine Republicans and sev en Southern Democrats joined the Arizona Republican in support of his proposal to delay effectiveness of the treaty until the Soviet Union withdraws completely from Cuba under U.N. inspection. On the roll call vote 54 Demo crats and 21 Republicans opposed, the reservation. In disposing of other reserva tions, the Senate rejected propos als by Sen. John G.

The showdown vote on Gold water's Cuban proposal came af ter several Republicans and Dem ocrats criticized both the reser vation and its sponsor, a major possiblity for the 1964 GOP presi dential nomination. Sen. J. William Fulbright, D-. Ark., chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and the treaty's floor manager, term ed fiie reservation "inappropri ate, unwise and irrelevant." New York GOP Sen. Jacob K. Javits told the Senate it would have a "very grave effect, driv ing Khrushchev back into Mao Tse-tung's arms."

Speculation has increased about the possibility of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) estab lishing a chapter here in October. CORE officials in Danville, Va. indicated yesterday they will trav el to Chapel Hill later this week fo discuss founding a chapter. The first CORE group was or ganized in 1942 by James Farmer, currently its national director, and an inter-racial group of stu dents at the University of Chicago who believed that it was time, in Farmer's words, "to substittue bodies for exhortations." They went into service immediately in sit-ins and on picket lines as CORE spread its non-violent tech niques to local chapters across the country. Efforts in recent years have been aimed at desegregating lunch counters, movie theaters, schools, employment, and housing and increasing Negro voter regis tration. . Mot's Portrait Comes To UNO A portrait of John Motley More head will be presented to the Uni versity here Thursday.

Chatham will present the por trait and Gov Terry Sanford will receive it on behalf of the Uni versity. It will hang in the dining room of the Morehead Planetar ium. Albert Murray, who painted the portrait, will be present at the formal dinner meeting. Roy Armstrong, executive sec retary of the Morehead Founda tion, said that the portrait pres entation would be only one part of the program that will be pre sented during Morehead's brief visit to alma mater. "The usual purpose for the meeting this time of the year," Armstrong said "is to pay tribute to the new Morehead Scholars and also to recognize the scholars that will graduate this year.

The Con solidated University Student Council and the UNC Student Government committee chair men met in separate sessions over the weekend. A brisk discussion of the con troversial speaker ban law high lighted Sunday's meeting of the Consolidated University Student Council.

He also outlined the history of the law and announced that the uni versity 'Board of Trustees will consider the problem on October 28. : "This will be the first oppor tunity the Board has had to dis cuss this legislation," he seid. "The wisest thing we can do now is to work toward the trustees" meeting and act upon their decision." President Friday also urged the CUSC to meet with student leaders and administration in an effort to educate students and public about the university's po sition on the law. "There are three ways in which the bill could be eliminated," he continued. "The General As sembly can appeal or amend it, or a test case could come up to test its constitutionality." Mike Lawler, UNC student body president, spoke briefly concerning the legal construc tion of the bill, its causes, and the role of students in future de velopments. "We must encourage the pub lic and students to find out about the details of the bill and its ef fects on the university," he said. "They must be made aware of the university's position and how the students feel about the bill's implications." Following Lawler's remarks, the council adjourned to Presi dent Friday's home for further discussion. Friday prefaced his remarks with an outline of the law's his tory and of action that has al ready been taken. In recounting the history of the law, he reminded the group that the bill passed in swift leg islative action without prior no tification to the institutions in volved. sent a special skit depicting their four years at UNC," Armstrong noted.
