Speaking at his first press con ference after returning from a tour through Europe, Hodges said, "I am not seeking it, never have and I am not going to seek it" when asked about his candi dacy. Hodges served as Govern or from 1953-60. He did not give a conclusive answer when asked about his feelings toward a draft move ment, but added, "I don't think there is any possibility for that."

Di-Phi Opposes Gag Law, 14-1 By RICIIARD CREAL The Dialectic-Philanthropic So ciety opened its 167th year Tues day night with a debate on the controversial speaker ban law. The Society overwhelmingly en dorsed a resolution protesting the House-originated bill recently en acted by the N. C. General As sembly which regulates visiting speakers at state-supported col leges and universities. The Sen ate voted 14 to one in favor of the resolution, while the Senate and guests approved it, 44 to 2. The bill, introduced by Will Builard and Chuck Neely, stated that the Society must "require complete freedom to discuss and debate openly all ideas with any persons," and "the integrity of the Society, the University, the faculty and the students . - . are hampered in their pursuit of truth by a denial of knowledge of any viewpoint on any questions of politics, religion, morality or any other topic ..."

Opponents of the resolution held that the speaker ban was not unconstitutional as it does not . compel anyone to testify against himself. Further, they felt that the reasons given in the resolution were superfluous. It was stated that learning would not be hindered as all opposing ideas are readily available in the library in literary form and that the spoken word should be regu lated because its properties of intonation and feeling skillfully used with half-truths could easily sway immature minds. Adolf Hitler was cited as an example. Limited time prevented a de bate on a bill protesting the pub lic accommodations clause in President Kennedy's Civil Rights Bill. This debate is scheduled for Tuesday evening, October 8 at 7:30. Tuesday's meeting, attended by 15 members and 31 guests, was held in the Di Phi Hall in New East.

Roney stated that the "Ott Pro gram," in a modified form, has been instituted in "Joyner House" by Head Resident Advisor Bud Broome and has already proven to be a great improvement over previous systems. Praise was extended to Ott, Broome, the Joy ner Resident Advisors, House President K. B. Garrison, and the other House Officers by Roney. Slifkin Impressed With Oxford Boys By MAT FRIEDMAN "It's quite a shock coming back to an American University. The contrast is really striking." Lawrence M. Slifkin, associate professor of Physics, recently re turned to UNC after a year of research at Oxford University in England. "English college students," says Dr. Slifkin, "tend to regard American students' behavior as very immature, very juvenile. It would never occur to them to be have in public the way we do." Dr. Slifkin spent a year at Oxford's Clarendon Laboratories on a National Science Foundation Post - Doctoral Fellowship. He did research on "electronic spin resonance," which deals with the behavior of electrons in crystals, the nature of their spin. "In all the European schools I have visited," he says, "there were practically no sounds. It was unheard of to play a radio loud enough for someone else to hear or to shout to a friend across the quandrangle. "There were no academic re strictions at Oxford. Students go to lectures when they please and study in whatever manner they see fit. The only thing that real ly matters is that they pass their exams. "European college students seem to think that American stu dents behave more like 12-year-olds than as adults. They feel that when a person reaches col lege age, he should no longer need supervision but should be mature enough to act properly." The research, according to Dr. Slifkin, enabled him to learn new echniques for use in work here. Better CU Day Proposed By HUGH STEVENS Improvements in the annual Consolidated University Day program were proposed to stu dent leaders yesterday by UNC members of the CU Student Council. Mike Lawler, UNC student body president, and Johnsye Massenburg, chairman cf the CUSC delegation from Chapel Hill, proposed better methods of handling visiting girls from the Greensboro campus. Under the new arrangement, the visitors would arrive by bus and be routed to girls dorms for a reception before the game. UNC men students would be invited to meet the girls there, thus avoiding the "cow pasture stampede" of previous years. "In the past, the girls have simply been brought over here and dumped out," Miss Massen burg said. "They have had no chance to rest or be provided with proper introductions to the boys." She continued that it is essen tial that we make better ar rangements for these guests if CU Day is to be successful. Lawler said that the Greens boro girls are very enthusiastic about the idea, and expressed hope that the local coeds will help make the proposal work. - "There are a lot of bugs to be worked out," he said, "but we. are taking the idea to the girls here in hopes that they will be enthusiastic about it also." Nancy Culler, Chairman of the Women's Residence Council, and Judy Frieder, head of the Carolina Women's Council, in dicated they would propose the (Continued on Page Three) CURED Citizens United for Racial Equality and Dignity (CURED) will meet tonight at 8 p.m. at the First Baptist Church to elect officers.

He explains that the Oxford and Cambridge science depart ments are organized much dif ferently than those here. "The department heads there," he says, "have to do pretty much whatever interests the head of the department. Therefore, you find many faculty members .working on only one or two lines of re search. Oxford actually has three separate Physics depart ments, with different buildings and different budgets. Here, we have a lot more diversity in re- Under the NSF fellowship, UNC paid half of Dr. Slifkin's nine month salary while Oxford paid the balance plus travel expenses for himself and his wife and four children. They took a trip to Israel and Greece during East er vacation, but Dr. Slifkin spent most of his time on the research. "It was a great year," he says, "both professionally and non-pro- fessionally."

The meeting, will be held in the Roland Parker lounges at 7 p.m. The party will hear a panel of Student Party mem bers who attended the 16th Na tional Student Association Con gress this summer. The panel includes Neal Jackson, Kellis Parker, Phil Baddour, and Hugo Spechar, and will be moderated by student body president Mike Lawler. The Student Party was found ed in 1938 by a group of six students who, in their opinion, felt "that it was completely un fair for a single campus group to completely dominate Student Government." Prior to 1938, the University Party was the only existing party. One 'of these six is the present Secretary of the Consolidated University, Fred H. Weaver. During the next ten years, the Student Party was to form many discussion groups on is ues facing students, such as the adoption of the Student Consti tution in 1947.

"am SL Meets Monday To Introduce Bill The administration has agreed to finance the dorm itory intramural program on a joint funds basis with student government. The announcement Was made at a meeting yester day between the administration and Mike Lawler, president of the student body. The continuation of the intramural managers pro gram was thought to have been killed when the ad ministration announced earlier that necessary funds were not available. Student legislature will determine the program it will follow this year in two meetings, one a special session slated for Monday night at 7 p.m. Lawler said the program would I nmhahlv cost about $6,000 and would provide an intramural managers salary for every male dormitory on campus. He also said he hopes to get the program on a permanent basis through talks scheduled to start in October when he will confer with administration of ficials and the intramural de partment. Bases for selecting managers have not yet been provided for, though the selecting processes will be primarily determined by the IDC and the intramural de partment. The exact amount to be paid to the managers will be deter mined by the bill to be brought before the legislature Monday night. In 1962-63 student government provided funds to establish a system of paid managers for dorms with money taken from student fees. The program was set up for one year on an ex perimental basis and an agree ment was suggested by student government that the University take over financial responsibil ity if the program was success ful. Tom Johnson said that the program had been highly suc cessful and that dormitory par ticipation had increased 10 per cent over the previous year. But the funds needed to con tinue the program had been an nounced 'not available." Now, however, student legis lature must swing into action quickly because of the delay caused by the first "no." The special session which has been called for Monday at 7 p.m. is tailored to include the bill for '63-'64's mural manager pro gram so that action might be taken on the bill at the first reg ular session Thursday night. Bob Spearman, student body vice president, said the session has been called "because it is imperative that this program be acted, upon as soon as possible." 0,704! (And Not A By MICKEY BLACKWELL There are 10,704 students en rolled for the fall semester. This is exactly 1,100 more than were enrolled this time last year. The enrollment figures were released Wednesday by Dean of Student Affairs C. O. Cathey. He said that this year's enroll ment figure was the one pro jected for next year. Cathey said that 123 students who had pre-registered decided not to attend UNC. Nonetheless, enrollment this year breaks all previous records. The Housing situation, which was nothing short of chaos when school started, has cleared up somewhat. "There are just a few students left in the basement of Stacy dorm," Housing Director Jim Wadsworth said. "But we will have them all moved out by Friday." Wadsworth said that although this was the worst housing short age he had ever seen, the whole operation went smoother than it ever had. "Special credit should be given to the resident advisors who came back to school early and helped us get the keys out in the most efficient manner iter $3,000 WUNC Radio Will Resume On Oct. 7 WUNC Radio, the "Voice of the University of North Caro lina," will begin its eleventh year of broadcasting Monday, Octo ber 7. This fall WUNC, 91.5 mega cycles on the FM dial, will broadcast with an expanded schedule both in time and va riety. Sunday through Friday the station will go on the air at 6 p.m. During the fall the station will go on the air at 1:30 p.m. Saturdays to carry the Tar Heels' football game. WUNC will remain on the air until mid night every night except Sunday. Programs will be of all types this year. Classical music will be heard all week on the Dinner Hour and Masterwork. Hillside Jazz, a favorite last year, will again be presented this year for a full hour. Project 60, the pro gram from WBT in Charlotte, will include such shows as "Light in the Clouds" and "Bard of Beech Mountain." Folk singing will be heard live from Swain Hall; local Chapel Hill musicians will participate in the program. From 1100 until midnight on Monday through Saturday, pop ular programs of the previous week will be rerun. WUNC Radio broadcasts with a power of 50,000 watts, cover ing a circular area with a radius of about 100 miles. The station is an educational station, operat ed entirely by students of the University. The manager of WUNC this year is Frost Br an on, a senior from Charlotte. Col To Spare) ever. Wadsworth said the major housing problem now was for residents having to adjust to three men in their rooms. He said that the so-called "third man had a rough life because his roommates weren't use to his being in the room. Concerning the enrollment in crease, Dean Cathey said it was due mainly to three factors: 'There were 349 more freshmen this year than last." Also there were quite a few more graduate students this year than last. Cathey said that a combination of men who were entering school following a term in the service plus those students who quali fied for re-admission through correspondence courses and sum mer school accounted for the additional increase in enrollment. Cathey said that any North Ca rolina student who makes a mini mum grade on the entrance exam is eligible for admission at UNC. "But," be added, "there are some students who just barely meet the admissions require ments. We quite often counsel that student to go somewhere else and in many cases, the stu dent does just that and later he thanks us for making the suggestion."
