" ' The Speaker Ban: II By HUGH STEVENS 1 ??is is the second in a series of three articles concerning the . controversial ban bill passed this summer by the N. C. General Assembly.) J Within hours after the gavel had fallen on the 1963 session of the N. C. General Assembly, was apparent that the speaker ban which had been sneaked past the legislature was not going to sneak past the citizens of the state. The bill was passed on Tues day, June 25 and defeated in a reconsideration effort on Wed nesday. On Wednesday afternoon the University officials called the bill '"injurious and unneces sary." That same day a group of legislators who opposed the bill went on record as dissenting from its passage. By Thursday morning the state's newspapers had informed the public. The Greensboro Daily News, in an editorial entitled "Trifling With Academic Liberties," said the bill was objectionable "on every parliamentary, education al and constitutional count." The manner in which the bill was rammed through, it commented, "only mocked the legislative pro cess." "The issue is not whether Communists should be allowed to speak on state campuses. It is rather who is to decide whe ther they may speak or not," the paper continued. ) Insult To Intelligence The Charlotte News said the bill "insults the intelligence of North Carolina's collegians, to say nothing of the good judgment of those honorable and partiotic administrators of North Caro lina's colleges." An editorial appearing in 14 North Carolina newspapers said ic ir it ic it ir A BILL TO BE ENTITLED AN ACT TO REGULATE VISITING SPEAKERS AT STATE SUPPORTED COL LEGES AND UNIVERSITIES. The General Assembly of North Carolina do enact: Section 1. No college or university, which receives any state funds in support thereof, shall permit any per son to use the facilities of such college or university for speaking purposes, who: (A) Is a known member of the Communist Party; (B) Is known to advocate the overthrow of the con stitution of the United States or the state of North Carolina ; (C) Has pleaded the Fifth Amendment of the con stitution of the United States in refusing to answer any question, with respect to communist or subversive con nections or activities, before any duly constituted legis lative committee, any judicial tribunal, or any execu tive or administrative board of the United States or any state. ' ' Sec. 2. This act shall be enforced by the Board of Trustees, or other governing authority, of such college or university, or by such administrative personnel as may be appointed therefor by the Board of Trustees or other governing authority of such college or university. Sec. 3. All laws and clauses of laws in conflict with this act are hereby repealed. Sec. 4. This act shall become effective upon its ratification. Goldberg Scores Critics Of Court By STU EIZENSTAT Supreme Court Justice Arthur Goldberg scored Americans who criticize the Court for its inter pretation of the Constitution Thursday night at Greensboro. Goldberg, in his last of three lectures delivered at Women's College, defended the Court's right of judicial review, saying it served the idea that we are a government of law working through men, not men without law. He explained that judicial re view is the right of state and federal courts to rule on the con stitutionality of legislation, execu tive action or administrative ac tion. Pointing out that judicial re view is of fundamental impor tance because the Constitution does not intertpret itself, he said that chaos would result if each individual were allowed to inter pret the "law of the land" him self. He asked that thought be given to the consequences which would arise if the reviews are discon "'the General Assembly followed a course much more character istic of the Communists, them selves, than of a democracy." Another widespread printed comment was that the law whit tles away a little more at the personal and collective freedom of all of us," and that has been whittled down a lot." , Party Leaders Bert Bennett, speaking "per sonally", and not as State Dem ocratic Chairman, , spoke out against the law on June 29. "If it was a good bill, it should have been introduced earlier in the session, when there would have been a chance to debate it," he said. "The fact that presidents of the state-supported colleges, and the University of North Carolina had no chance to be heard, is different from and contrary to North Carolina's way of doing things," he continued. William Osteen, floor leader of the Republican delegation in the General Assembly, sided with Bennett. He termed the law "at least a beginning in the breakdown of our system of free speech." College presidents also joined in the criticism of th-2 bill. Dr. Leo Jenkins of East Carolina said the law "has one aspect that may well diminish the great advances made by our colleges in combatting hostile ideologies." Meredith College President Carlyle Campbell calLjd the ac tion '"unnecessary." Resolution On July 19, the North Caro lina Board of Higher Education met in Raleigh and released a unanimous resolution on the bill. "The Act," it said, "repre sents a departure from the tra ditional freedom and responsi- tinued. He asked if we were ready to let the privacy of our home be decided by local law enforce ment officers without judicial warrant or if business was ready to say the President could decide on what his powers were with regard to business. Goldberg conceded the Supreme Court is not infallible, as he spoke but, he said, "The mistakes are solvable." He claimed only men "who are trained in the law and ex parte," rather than the Congress or state legislatures can accurately inter pret the Constitution. "It is morally certain that if the community at large departs from the idea that we live under the law, then I don't believe judges can preserve the Consti tution for the people," he said. JOHN KNOWLES Joha Knowles, UNC's writer in residence, will have regular office in 312 Bingham for any students wishing to sec him. He may be seen 2-4 Tuesday after noon or by appointment. bility delegated to the trustees, administrators and faculties to manage the educational affairs of our institutions." "It limits the freedom of the University and the colleges to encourage their students and faculties to pursue colleges to encourage their students and faculties to pursue the truth in the atmosphere traditionally characteristic of colleges and universities worthy of the name," the resolution continued. The resolution ended by sug gesting that the bill be amend ed or repealed. Across the state, from Mur phey to Manteo, the ban became a favorite topic at dinner tables, in gas stations, and in virtual ly hundreds of civic club ad dresses. There were many who cried out not against the bill, but against the tactics used to pass it. Others said the idea was acceptable, but the bill itself was ambiguous and foggy. Sen. Perry Martin said the bill was ' "dignifying Communism." Most important perhaps, the issue began to boil down to one of '"Communists" against "non Communists." In poolrooms and in parlors, it was common to hear the argument that oppon ents of the bill were in favor of Communism, No matter what they said about "Academic Free dom." The tension and anger boiled, higher. The University trustees, meeting on July 8, agreed to comply with the law because it was on the books, but there was no doubt that they were displeas ed with both the letter and in tent of the bill. The state papers spoke against the bill, the University officials made their opposition known, and politicians of both parties told of their dissatisfaction. But in the home's and factories of the state, and in such organiza tions as the American Legion, they heard the word "Com munism" and it blotted out rea son and common sense. It was soon apparent that a long, hard battle was under way. (In tomorrow's third Installa tion f this series, the -actions taken against the bill will be discussed.) Jonas, Rowe Resign Posts Two University Party officers have submitted their resigna tions effective immediately, party chairman Mike Chanin announced Friday. Chanin said Dick Jonas, treasurer, and David Rowe, ser-geant-at-arms, resigned because of heavy academic loads. He said Sam Himes and Don Carson have been appointed act ing treasurer and sergeant-at-arms by the UP Executive Com mittee until elections can be held. Chanin added that perma nent replacements will be elected at a regular party meeting Oct. 15. The University Party has six vacant seats in five legislative districts, Chanin said. They are: TM IV, two seats; TM I, TW, DM VII (Ehringhaus), DM I (Craige), one each. Interviews will be held from 3-5 p.m. on Tuesday and Wed nesday in the Wodhouse Room of GM. He added, "The Party has six vacancies and we are anxious to have them filled with qualified people as soon as possible. Inter ested freshmen are especially en couraged to interview for these positions." John Ulfelder, legis lative floor leader, will conduct the interviews. Workshop Party The Carolina Playmakers have scheduled a "workshop party" for Sunday evening at 7:30 p,m. in the Playmakers Theatre. Larry Warner, advanced gradu ate student in the Department of Dramatic Art and coordinator of the theatre workshop this year, has invited all parties who have an interest in working on this program to attend. He stressed the fact that the theatre workshop is not limited to Dramatic Art majors, but is open to anyone who has an in terest in the theatre. Warner also stated that he would need people who are inter ested: in the techni cal aspects of play production, such as scenery and lighting, as well as actors. Although the workshop party will also serve as a preliminary organizational meeting, it will be primarily a social function. Re freshments will be served in the theatre Green Room, and enter tainmnt will be provided on the Playmakers stage. TOMORROW Hugh Stevens, the DTH speaker ban expert, concludes his series on the controversial law with a discussion of the action taken by various groups around the state.

'J A. $ , - tjl - - NEW KITCHEN Workmen hurry to finish setting up the new cooking facilities in the Rat to replace those lost in a fire last summer. The Singed Rat Monday By SUE FRENCH Last August 22 an apparently unexplainable fire gutted the Rathskeller, an institution fa miliar to UNC students. Around 7:30 p.m., the cooks be hind the grill at the Rat noticed an unusual amount of smoke and heat, but could find nothing wrong. They continued cooking until the smoke drove them out. About 180 customers were eating at the time. They were quietly ushered out without panic. In fact, accord ing to the owner, Ted Danziger, even with the fire department there, the people remained out side in hopes of returning to their dinners. When the firemen pulled away the covering over the wooden rafters, they were faced by bil lowing smoke and a mass of char coal. With the aid of fire extin guishers, and the sprinkler sys tem, the blaze was finally doused. Damage to the Rathskeller and to the Old World Gift Shop di rectly above it was extensive. The kitchen of the Rat was burned; the gift shop upstairs, also owned by the Danziger family, had 20,000 gifts severely damaged by smoke. Also dam aged were several paintings in the Rathskeller. When reopened Monday, the Rathskeller will have a somewhat different appearance. Danziger has installed all new equipment, including tables, booths and a new range. The kitchen, in a nw location, has been completely fire-proofed with one-inch thick WUNC Begins Mondav With j WUNC Radio, the "Voice of UNC," will begin its eleventh year of broadcasting Monday. "Spectrum" will be one of the new weekly features, beginning the season Monday at seven, with a show from the African Broad casting Company entitled "Birth suit." It will deal with pregnan cy and childbirth in Africa. Next week will be "The Soul of the White Ant," adopted from a book by Gene Marceis. On Oct. 14, "Porgy and Bess" will be presented and on Oct. 21, ."My. Son the Nut" will be heard. Starting Oct 15, a weekly show, "Hootenany," with Kent Evans, will feature local talent from the campus area. Every .Thursday from 1Q:15 to CI laneellor I M Rat will be open Opens llr asbestos "The only kitchen in North Carolina so completely fireproofed," according to Dan ziger. In accordance with the wishes of the fire department, a new fire exit also has been in stalled. Built in 1948 as a one-room ad dition to the Old World Gift Shop, the Rathskeller at first sold only beer. Gradually the enterprise grew into three rooms, with em phasis, as in the European tra dition, more upon food than upon beer. In Europe, the local rathskeller was always in the basement of the city hall for the council mem bers to cool off in after heated debates. Invariably, since the rathskellr held such an impor tant position in the community, it served the best food in town. The Danziger family also oper ates the Ranch House and the Zoom-Zoom, which Danziger says will be expanded soon. The Old World Gift Shop re-opened Wed nesday with a fire sale. AAUP URGES REPEAL GREENSBORO (UPI) The local chapter of the American Association of University Profes sors at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro has adopt ed a resolution urging repeal of a 1963 law banning Communist speakers at state-supported insti tutions of higher learning. It was learned today that the action came Monday following a recommendation of the group's executive committee. 11th Year 6S i 1115 p.m. Frost Branon will pre sent "Hillside Jazz," featuring popular jazz.

After the committee makes its Legislature Okays Mural Appropriation By GENE WHISNANT In a near-unanimous vote Thurs day night, the UNC student legis lature approved a bill to appropri ate $2,219.50 for financing intra mural managers. The University has offered to jointly finance this program and will match this amount. The Intramural Department and the Interdormitory Council will select twenty-three managers to be paid $193 during this school year. Each undergraduate dormi tory will have one manager ex cept Ehringhaus and Craige which will have 3 and 2 respectfully. Clark Brewer, (SPP-DM I), and Donald Carson, (UP-DM II), in troduced the bill since this year no money was made available to pay the managers. Negotiations The legislature recommended that "negotiations between the president and vice president of the Student Body, the president of thejiInterdormitory Council and the University Administration be gin at once in order that the financing of this program on a permanent basis can be assur ed." Donald Carson, (UP-DAI II), introduced a bill for the Men's Interdormitory Council to rename it on Men's Residence Council. The Men's Interdormitory Coun cil, wishing to establish a com plete new concept of residence hall living, voted in favor of the name change. The council wants the change to be voted on by the student body in the fall election. A bill to establish a Fine Arts (Continued on Page Three) ANYBODY over Duke," "I'll take Georgia Tech I used to go to dances there." and "the mili tary should be able to beat the churchmen (Air Force - SMU game)" were just a few of her candid comments of wisdom.
