Offices in Graham Memorial CHAPEL HILL, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1963 United Press International Service mm mm mm it1 leishman Praises P And 'Discontent Makes SP Great' By VANCE BARRON Joel Fleishman, former Student Party chairman and now Legal Assistant to Governor Terry San ford, Tuesday night blasted the University Party, saying that its basic constituency was composed of the "least discontented ele ments on campus" and praised the Student Party for its tradi tion as the "party of discon tent." Fleishman defined "partisans of discontent" as students who desire to see the campus a bet ter place when they leave it and who are active in trying to reconcile "the real and the ideal in student life. "While not all partisans of discontent are in the SP," he said, "the University Party has never been a party of discontent, and I don't give it much hope." The SP has been an open forum for campus problems and has attracted people who are discon tented, he said. Fleishman outlined the history of the SP, saying "it was born in 1938 in an atmosphere of social . concern folowing the Depression and achieved its maturity with tne liuiux ot war veterans into ; the University following the Sec ond World War. "It was the return of the war veterans, men who had learned what it meant to take an active role in human affairs that en abled the SP to begin winning elections i nthe late 40's" Fleish man continued. "Thus it was a part of the gen eral awakening of American stu dents to the problems around them. "The moments of greatness of the tSudent Party, however, have not always been when it was winning elections," Fleishman added. "It has been of greatest use to the University when it has served as critic and the partisan of discontent. "A political party is a group of people who band together to con vince the public of the wisdom of following a particular course of action," he said. "This pur pose is fulfilled by running can didates, but a party can fulfill its function without necessarily win ning elections. "I would hope that none of you are here solely for honor, out of of a love of the uses of power, or out of a queer fascination with the mechanisms of government," he told the group. "These are part and parcel of politics, but they are not the heart of politics or of the Stu dent Party." The SP offers to the partisans of discontent the opportunity to participate in a continuing tra dition of reform of student life, he added. "There is, unfortunately, a great lack of continuity in the tradition of student government," Fleishman continued. "The stu dent memory is very short only four years and there is very little inheritance from one stu dent generation to the next. The . battles you are fighting tday have been fought before." Fleishman urged the writing of a history of student government (Continued on Page Three J Need A Job? On-campus recruiting for em ployment in business, industry, and government will begin next week.

Slams Night at i vi V Phota by Jim Wallace Night, And A Near-Empty Locker Room Despite Late Hours By day, Woollen Gym is alive with activity. Basketballs pound against the floors for hours on end, endless shuttlecocks whiz back and forth across badminton nets and basketballs ricochet off walls and ceilings. By night, it's a different story. For the most part Woollen Gym is empty Dr. O. K. Cornvvell, director of physical education, said yes terday the gym is going virtually unused on the nights when there is no scheduled activities. "We opened the gym this year on Monday through Thursday on an expanded schedule," Dr. Corn well said. "We had lots of stu 2 Vacancies Filled On UP Committee Frank Martin and Jeff Adams were selected to fill vacancies on the University Party Executive Committee Tuesday night. Martin, a sophomore from Chapel Hill, defeated Wade Logan in the elec tion for party treasurer, and Jeff Adams, a sophomore from Nashville, Term., won over Don Leslie for sergeant-at-arms. Commenting on the elections, party chairman Mike Chanin said, "I am well pleased with these selections and by the large turn out of over 135 UP members for this meeting. I know that both Frank and Jeff will do a good job for the UP and for the further ance of Student Government at Carolina." Chanin also announced the fol lowing UP legislative appoint ments: Craige, Ron Hendren;Eh ringhaus, Edwin Arrington; Town Men's I, George Ingram; TM IV, Warren Ogden; and Town Wom en's, Darst Murphy. John Ulfelder UP legislative, tfloor leader said, "We've been able to appoint some highly quali fied people who I know will do an excellent job in Student Legisla ture.". In other action, Chanin announc ed that the Academic Problems Committee under the chairman ship of Jim Riley will meet to day at 4 p.m., in Roland Parker I. Chanin also announced that the Executive Committee will hold interviews Sunday for legislative openings in TM II, and IV at 8 p.m. in the Grail Room. "We UP Woollen dents tell us last year that their schedules prevented their using the gym when it closed at six o'clock. So we made the efforts necessary to get the extra money so we could stay open until nine." "The problem," Cornwell said, "is that very few students are taking advantage of the facilities. We hope for the number to in crease when it gets colder, but we feel that many are simply unaware that the gym is open at night." "We have the pool, the hand ball courts the main floor, and just about every other facility open, and we certainly hope the students will begin using them. After all, it's their gym." felt," Chanin said, "that because we announced these openings at such a late date, that many peo ple who were interested could not come up for interviews. I hope that these people will take the time to come up Sunday." Chanin, also announced that the UP's fall convention will be held Tuesday, Oct. 22, at 6:45 p.m. in Carroll Hall. At this con vention, members will nominate a president, vice-president, sec retary, treasurer, and social chairman for the freshman, sophomore and junior classes. All ersons interested in running fr class officers are asked to call Chanin at 968-9021.

Wallace speak in Durham Sun day night. He is Kellis Parker, a Negro and a senior at UNC. Parker received his member ship card last August, much to his surprise. : "My reaction was about like that the father-in-law of Char layne Hunter," Parker said. Charlayne Hunter was the first Negro coed at the University of Georgia who revealed her secret marriage to a white Georgian this summer. Her father-in-law is reported to have said, "This is the end of the world." Parker believes that some one signed his name to a membership list as a practical joke. However, he has not notified the Council of his race. In fact he has received further information about the Council and materials for recruiting more members. "Although the original intent was to play a practical joke, this does show the gross lack of com munication between such groups," Parker said. "In view of the current changes in our nation and in Durham Coun ty in particular, it seems we should be seeking to better our communications. Madame Nhu To Speak In Raleigh Today A group of Carolina students is expected to stage a demon stration in Raleigh this after noon in protest of United States foreign land military aid .(to the Diem government in South Vietnam. Mme. Ngo Dinh Nhu, Viet nam's first lady, is scheduled to visit the Capital City today to hold a 4:30 press confer ence and give a 6 p.m. lecture in the N. C. State Student Un ion. The campus chapter of the Student Peace Union (SPU) and members of the local Pro gressive Labor Club are ex pected to participate in the demonstration. John Dunne, chairman of the local SPU, said Wednesday in a prepared statement, "We wish to make clear that we fully support Mme. Nhu's right to speak and urge everyone to attend. "Our protest, however, is directed to U.S. economic and military support of a govern ment which represents six tenths of one percent of the population of South Vietnam, and whose tyrannical suppres sion of the most basic human freedoms is totally inimical to the fundamental ideals of Am erican democracy. "We invite everyone who feels that no end can justify a mean so hypocritical and self-degrading, as to make a mockery of the democratic precepts for preservation of which we are fighting this very war, to join us in peaceful protest." Dunne said cars will be leaving the Morehead Parking Lot at 2, 3:30 and 4:45 p.m. for those needing rides. John Salter, chairman of the Progressive Labor group re ported that (transportation to Raleigh will also be available at 4 p.m. from GM. In Washington Wednesday, Mme. Nhu said she has evi dence that some Kennedy ad ministration officials have "no eagerness to win the war against Communists" in South Vietnam. She also criticized as political pressure a recent withholding of U.S. commercial aid to Sia gon. "I cannot see how such a thing can be done without rea son against a government which is winning the war," she said. The State Department has delayed payment of a reported $12 million in grants this month to help South Viet Nam finance commercial imports. Council Neg, "Since we shall be attending the same theatres, the same rest . aurants, the same schools, the same parks, etc., we should have closer contacts no matter what our political groups. "Therefore I extend the invi tation to all my fellow members of the Durham County Citizen's Council to participate in the ac tivities of CURED & the NAACP." CURED (Citizens United for Racial Equality and Dignity) is the local Chapel Hill integration group, started last August. Parker has been a member of the executive committee of CUR ED and led a series of peaceful demonstrations in his home town of Kinston this stunmer. He was one. of the first Negroes to win an all-campus election at a major Southern state university when he successfully campaign ed as a UNC delegate to the Na tional Students Congress last spring. ' , Parker is also chairman of the nlternational Students Board this year. "It is significant that they've laken the initiative to integrate their own group," Parker added. "Perhaps this small gesture to wards integration will be extended to: others in Durham. "Perhaps they will now inform their friend Governor Wallace that the inevitabilities of history Cannot be defied." Debate Team Places 2nd The UNC Debate team return ed from a tournament at David son College this -weekend after .rolling' up an impressive 8-2 rec ord and tying with Duke for sec ond place in the event. There were 10 schools participating in the meet. Both the affirmative and nega tive teams won four debates and lost one. The affirmative team, consist ing of Haywood Clayton of Dur ham and Bob Powell of Thomas ville, lost to Randolph Macon. The negative side, consisting of Dick Brodeur, of Coral Gables, Florida, and George Carson of Elkin gave up its only loss to Washington and Lee, who won the tournament. The negative team defeated Duke in one of the top debates of the meet. Federal aid to education pro vides the conflict for this year's debate topic which is: Resolved that the federal government should guarantee every qualified high school graduate a college education. Coach Donald Springen com mented that he was pleased with results of this first tournament for it showed a considerable ex hibition of strength. Petition Try Is Halted UNC student leaders Wednes day confirmed reports that some efforts had been made earlier this week to petition the Special Session of the General Assembly to reconsider the controversial speaker ban law. "The Technician," student newspaper at N. C. State, report ed Tuesday that student groups had planned to present the pe tition to the special session Mon day. Grant Blair, co-editor, said the students changed their plans fol lowing action by the Legislature in limiting its consideration to redistricting the State Senate. Student Body President Mike Lawler and Vice-President Bob Spearman said, however, they had met with several student leaders early Monday morning and decided it was "tactically not a good time to present a petition." The newspaper said student groups from Duke, N. C. State, UNC, UNC at Greensboro, Wake Forest, Charlotte College, Wil mington College, A & T College and East Carolina had planned to present the petition to the As sembly.

B ateson Clams In HUAC Heariii British Convoy Delayed By Soviets BERLIN (UPI) The Soviets Wednesday held up a British convoy for nearly nine hours outside West Berlin in a futile bid to force acceptance of new terms for Allied road travels to Berlin. Britain promptly an nounced it was strengthening its Berlin troop garrison because of the "present situation." The Russians held up the westbound British convoy at the Babelsberg checkpoint one mile from West Berlin but finally backed down and freed it after the British refused to. give in. Kennedy Proposal WASHINGTON (UPI) De spite Negro cries of "sellout," Atty. Gen. Rbert F.

In the past few days, this campus has been hit by a fad that is now sweeping the coun try, called the "Beep Line" or "The Grapevine." By any name, it's a riot.

Some one found that conversations may be carried on between callers while me signal drones on end lessly in the background and that the number of possible con nections is apparently limited on ly bythose patient enough to l'sten. The result has been something that must be heard to be be lieved. Beginning early in the evening, and continuing well past the be witching hour, the busy signal line is jammed with conversa tion dorm residents, fraternity men, girls, and unidentified screams. They all may be joined by the Winchester, Va., operator and even a banjo picker. Last night, even Jack Kennedy and Ma Frickert showed up. Up License Fraud Is Subject FROM DTH WIRE REPORTS WASHINGTON A story with cloak and dagger overtones was unfolded Wednesday of a fraudu lent North Carolina drivers lic ense being obtained and used in setting up the forbidden trip of U. S. students to Cuba last sum mer. The two principles in the story, Nicholas Bateson, a UNC gradu ate student, who said he is a British subject, and Arnold Iden baum, a New Yorkers, refused to answer any questions about it be fore a House Sub-Committee on Un-American Activities. Both pleaded the Fifth Amendment against possible self-incrimina tion. But an airline ticket girl for KLM Dutch Airlines in New York, June Gard, identified Idenbaum as the man she said arranged for large blocks of airline tickets to Paris. She said he later claimed a re fund on unused tickets, identify ing himself with a North Caro lina driver's license in the name of Jay Jacobs. A similar story was told by wit nesses for the British Overseas Airway Corp. and KLM. A North Carolina license ex aminer, Drane Sherman, identifi ed Idenbaum as having applied for a license July 26 Under the name of Jay Jacobs. Sherman l.said the license was later mailed to Jacobs at Box 141-B, Durham,. N. C.

Fraternity men swear at anony mous dorm voices, dorm men scream "frat rats," and they all go crazy when a girl joins the line. One of the results of all this nonsense has been an abominable "snafu" in the phone system. It has become virtually impossible to reach a dorm or fraternity house while "Toe Grapevine" is going unless you can weed out your party from the babble of voices. The current issue of "Time" re ports on the nation-wide phe nomenon, saying that there is little the phone company can do to prevent it. "It sounds," says "Time," "like a convention "of tomcats in an aviary."
