One-third of the students re plied they did not know. This may be because of a lack of first - hand knowledge of other systems in operation. About 14 per cent thought another system would work better. Student support of the Campus Code was greater with about two thirds of the respondents endors ing it. About one-fourth had some doubts and 11 per cent of the males and 7 per cent of the females felt it should be dis continued. The main reasons for support ing the Campus Code were: 1 The Code serves as a stand ard of conduct; 2) It develops responsibility; 3) It gives a feeling of pride in UNC; 4) It maintains order. Those who were doubtful of the Code's effectiveness said it was vague and too difficult to enforce. The vast majority of students expressed personal interest in the Honor System and its operation. Eight out of ten males and near er nino rnfr rf ton fpmaloo to ported "quite a bit" or "very much" interest. Females Had More Interest About 20 Der cent of the males 7. and 12 per cent of the females reported little or no interest in the system. At all class levels females reported stronger inter- 4 J I 17 1 1 tc man am maies. As for the effectiveness of the Honor System, over three-fourths of the students said - it "cuts, down" the amount of cheating. Over 20 per cent said they thought the system had little or no effect. No women and only one per cent of the men thought the sys tem had a reverse effect. From the freshman to the senior year, the effects of the system were believed to de crease. The same trend was noticed among students who felt that the Honor System should be replaced by something else. A compara tively greater number of seniors holipvp the cvKtpm should he discarded, most of them favoring a proctor system. On another question, only one out of ten said they would pre fer a proctor system to the Hon or System. About half support ed the system as it now is and over 40 per cent felt the system should be kept but that changes should be made. Of the suggested changes, many students felt the system should be stricter and better en forced. They said that trials should be public and that viola tors should be pointed out to re mind students of the conse quences of offenses. Others said that the Honor System should be publicly stress ed often, and the incoming stu dents should be thoroughly in doctrinated. Reminders Needed Several also thought that upper classmen should be reminded of the importance of the system each year. A few thought that less imper sonality between student and pro fessor would result in more ac ceptance of the Honor System. DKE Named 'Top House' Delta Kappa Epsilon was award ed the R. B. House Outstanding Fraternity Award for 1962-63 at an IFC meeting Monday night. IFC President Charlie Battle made the presentation to DKE President Bill Davis. rhi Delta Theta finished sec ond in the competition with Delta Upsilon and Alpha Tau Omega tied for third. Others in order of finish were: Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Tau Epsilon Phi, Sigma Nu, and Kappa Sigma. Winners of the award are select ed annually by the Faculty Com mute on Fraternities and Sorori ties. Points are awarded for six areas of contribution and achieve ment: scholarship, campus repre sentation, intramurals, IFC par ticipation, house appearance, and faculty-student relations. Given four possible alterna tives, students were asked what body they would prefer to be tried by if they should commit a violation of the Code. The ma jority listed the following order: 1) The Honor Council; 2) The faculty member con cerned; 3) A faculty committee; 4) The University administra tion. Nine out of ten picked the Hon or Council as either their first or second choice. However, only 55 per cent of the females and 42 per cent of the males claimed they were fa miliar with the procedures of the Honor Council. An additional 43 per cent of the males and 42 per cent of the females said they were partly acquainted with the Council's procedures. Many of the students "unac quainted" with the procedures of the Council were graduate stu dents. Procedures Approved About two-thirds of the students said they approved of the proce dures of the Honor Council while 20 per cent replied "don't know," The latter figure may come from a lack of understanding of pro cedures. Only 15 per cent of the males Committee Endorses Kennedy Plan WASHINGTON (UPI) The Senate Foreign Relations Com mittee Tuesday left it up to President Kennedy to decide whether to use foreign aid as a device to further the anti Ccmmunist war in South Viet Nam. Because the President already has discretionary authority to extend or withhold aid to any nation not specifically barred by Congress, the committee's move seemed to be an endorse ment of Kennedy's avowed pol Ben Bella Mobilizes Army ALGIERS (UPI) The Al gerian guerrilla army that de feated France was mobilized Tuesday by President Ahmed Ben Bella to battle an invad ing Moroccan army he estimat ed at 4,000 men supported by tanks and planes flown by "for eigners."

About 70 per cent of the stu dents said they respected the competence and judgment of the' Honor Council members while about five per cent reported, no respect at all. Nearly 80 per cent felt the Council tried to be fair and impartial in judging cases, while 20 per cent said "don't know." About half the students felt the sentences of the Council were "about right" while 25 per cent were evenly split between "too severe" and "not severe enough." The females had a larger per centage of "too severe" answers than the males. On the question of sentences about one-fifth of the males and one-third of the females replied "don't know." This figure cor responds to the number of "don't know" answers on the other ques tions involving procedure. About half the students said they knew - of no one who had been tried by the Council during the current year. Females knew fewer people tried than did males and freshmen and sophomores knew fewer than juniors- and seniors. This also might be reason for "don't know" answers on other questions of procedure.

Wins Burdick Award A University physician doing research on a mysterious, inherit ed bleeding disease has won the 30th annual Ward Burdick Award. The coveted award for out standing research in clinical pathology has been conferred on Dr. Kenneth M. Brinkhous, head of the Department of Pathology at the UNC School of Medicine. He was co-recipient of the award in 1941 for his work on vi tamin K, a vitamin essential for normal blood clotting. Dr. Brinkhous delivered the traditional Ward Burdick scien tific address in which he describ ed the use of blood transfusions in the treatment of "bleeders" t hemophiliacs). His research since 1947 has centered on a colony of hemophi lic dogs here. Dr. Brinkhous is noted for his research in blood diseases. He served on a special blood study committee of the U. S. Public Health Service for four years and in 1954 was named chairman of a special subcommittee of the National Research Council as signed to a study of blood clotting. Bill Needs Teeth Pulled Says Bobby WASHINGTON (UPI) Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy told the House Judiciary Committee Tuesday to pull some of the teeth from its proposed civil rights bill that was shaping up much tougher than the admin istration recommended. At a closed-door showdown session, Kennedy told both Re publicans and Democrats on the key committee that he would prefer to seek a weaker bill enacted rather than see a stronger one go down to defeat in the House or Senate. ' "What I want is a bill, not an issue," the Justice Depart ment head told newsmen after the meeting. Kennedy urged modification of sweeping provisions on vot ing, public accommodations and the authority of the Justice Department to initiate civil rights suits as drafted by a judiciary subwmmittee. The stiff proposals were adopted by a House judiciary subcommit tee and caused a deadlock in the parent committee. Committee Chairman Eman uel Celler (D-N.Y.)" and Rep. William M. McCulloch (R-Ohio), senior GOP member of the com mittee, said the attorney gen eral's softer stand should end the impasse and gain bipartisan support for the President's civ il rights program. However, it seemed certain that Kennedy's willingness to jettison some of the tougher features of the measure would draw fire from Negro leaders and other civil rights advocates. In : a statement made public after the committee session, Kennedy said: "A strong civil rights bill can only be enacted if this commit tee and this Congress put aside partisan considerations and both political parties work together toward that end. Differences as to approach end emphasis must not be permitted to be escalated into the arena of politics or else the country, will be the loser." He endorsed the judiciary subcommittee's action in ap proving a strong provision to create a Fair Employment Practices Commission (FEPC). Kennedy said the administra tion was for such a proposal either as part of the overall civil rights package or as a separate measure. It has been almost four months since President Kennedy urged Congress to act on the civil rights issue, and the legislation has yet to emerge from the House Judiciary Committee. The bill still must pass the House before going to the Senate, where a Southern filibuster awaits it.

SP Chairman Neil Jackson, who introduced the bill at a Legislature session last week, said, "We want to know how all types of groups feel about tiiis issue, and those interested are welcome to speak." The bill calls the attainment of equal rights "probably the most significant social issue facing the United States." Mixed To By MICKEY BLACKWELL University faculty members had mixed reactions Monday to a weekend speech in which Pulit zer Prize-winning author Paul Green of Chapel Hill accused them of not speaking out against the so-called speaker gag law. Green, asked to clarify the statement he made at a Univer sity Day ceremony Saturday, is sued an even stronger indictment of the faculty. Green said Monday, "Profes sors and researchers are busy discovering and searching for truth, but they do darned little to see if that truth prevails in our society," Green said. "The teachers here should be on the public firing line," he said. "They are the men who have the knowledge, then they should try to see that it is used for the benefit of the society in which they live. "I am not criticizing this fac ulty more than any other," Green said. "It's just that a faculty sometimes disclaims their social responsibility to what they dis cover." , Faculty reaction to Greens Rush M Against ATO tion scheduled after the game at Finley Golf Course, sponsored by the Educational Foundation.

OPEN HOUSE The Department of Radio, Television and Motion Pictures will hold an informal open house Saturday, in its new quarters in Swain Hall. All students and faculty mem bers are invited to drop in and see their facilities between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. Reactions Ga2 Law initial charge of silence about the gag law went like this: ' "The faculty is doing some thing," said Arnold Nash, chairman-elect of the local branch of the American Association of Uni versity Professors, a prestigious national faculty organization. "Mr. Green cannot prove that the faculty is not doing some thing about it. What he means is that the faculty isn't making a great noise about it. "The real trouble," Nash said, "is that the legislature has taken over the powers which involve the day-to-day running of the university. That should be left to the trustees." Walter Spearman, journalism professor, said he agreed with Green's statement. "I think it was a healthy thing to say," Spearman said. "Mr. Green's talk was a challenge for the faculty to speak out. The faculty is almost unanimously opposed to the gag law, but rath er than speak individually, they speak through the faculty coun cil or the AAUP. Economics professor C. P. Spruill said, that some steps to Ch surges dance in Woollen Gym at 8 o'clock for all University stu dents and their guests, sponsor ed by the IDC. Carolina junior, died of skull and chest fractures when the con vertible in which he was riding skidded out of control and over turned on Old Lystra Rd., three and a half miles southeast of here. Lacock said that Martin had admitted to him that he had been drinking at the time. Lacock esti mated the speed of the car to be in excess of 75 m.p.h. at the time of the crash. Martin was reported uninjured. Lacock said that two girls were in the car at the time of the crash. Mary Roper, 20, of Kings port, Tenn., a University coed was reported by Lacock to have been shaken up in the accident but apparently escaped serious in jury. With Martin in the front seat,' Lacock said, was Susan Earn hardt, 22, of Kingsport, Tenn., a student at Queens College in Charlotte. Lacock said Miss Earnhardt suffered a broken jaw and pos sible other injuries. He said that she had been transferred to a hospital in Kingsport. Martin's trial on reckless driv ing will probably be held Nov. 1 in Chapel Hill Recorder's Court, Lacock said. His preliminary hear ing on the manslaughter charge will also be around Nov. 1. Albright and Martin were room mates and were brothers in the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. Honest To God Honest to God will be the sub ject an informal discussion group of graduate students will ex plore beginning Wednesday, at 9:00 p.m. at the Council Room of the Presbyterian Student Center. The group will hold informal discussions of Bishop J. A. T. Robinson's controversial book, "Honest To God," and his thesis that Christianity needs to be dis entangled from religion and that the image of God not only in popular piety but also in orthodox theology is outmoded. iowh By F ward faculty expression on the gag law will be made this month. "I am not as 'surprised' as Mr. Green was," Spruill said. "This doesn't mean that we have been silent, or that we will be." At the first meeting cf the faculty council this month, Spru ill proposed the formation of a study committee to prepare and present a resolution opposing the gag law. After the council acts on the measure at a special session Oct. 22, it will then be presented to the board of trustees before be ing made public. Indications are that the state ment will contain strong word ing in opposition to the gag law. Political science instructor Raymond Dawson said, "The faculty is deeply concerned about this matter. If Mr. Green means that the faculty is keep ing silent because they don't care, then I will have to disagree with him." One of Dawson's colleagues in political science, Gordon Cleve land, an Orange county commis sioner, agreed with Green. "I think that most cf us will Gave Pins Too Early Is Charge By PETE WALES Alpha Tau Omega will be tried before the Inter-Fraternity Court tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. on two charges of "dirty rush," it was decided at an IFC meeting Monday night. The ATO's are formally charg ed with: 1) Giving pledge pins to rush ees who had "shaken up" on Wednesday night of rush week. 2) Transporting rushees be tween houses during rushing hours. On the first charge, fraterni ties can not "shake up" a rushee until the last night of rush, in this case Thursday of rush week. A rushee "shakes up" by cornmittting himself to a fraternity. Other charges against the ATO's have been dropped, cith er because of insuificient evi dence or because they were cleared, according to Court President Brooks Emory. About other rumored instanc es of "dirty rush" Emory said "No other charges or complaints have been filed." Possible penalties for viola tion of rushing rules range from general probation (a type of reprimand) to loss of rushing privileges. In other business, the IFC set up a deferred rush committee and selected Ned Martin, vice ' president "of the IFC, as chair man. The committee will study the problems that deferred rush, scheduled to begin next year, will bring up. It will also pro pose the procedures and rules for deferred rushing to the IFC. The IFC also discussed plans for an investigation of its rules and procedures during the next month. "We may have to completely revise all our judicial pro cedures and by-laws," Charlie Battle, president of the IFC, said.

Career for the College Man, a similar publication, is also be ing distributed. acuity probably agree that there has not been much of a cry from the faculty, but there has to be a certain amount of political strategy involved in something like this." "Many of the faculty are wait ing for the administration to see what they want them to do. After all," Cleveland continued, "we can't have too many peo ple speaking officially for the University." Mathematics professor Ernest Maekie had only one comment. "I wondered at the time why Mr. Green said that," he said. Wesley Wallace, chairman of the department of Radio, Tele vision and Motion Pictures said, "I have protested as a faculty member through the University. Most of the faculty are doing what they can in their various ways to oppose the gag law." "I would hope that was not true," Frank W. Klingburg, pro fessor of history said of Green's remark. "I think that many of our fac ulty members have written let ters to the legislature stating their opposition to the law."
