No casualties were reported
from the hour-long strafing of
the vessel J. Louis in the early
morning darkness. But the ship's
captain radioed that the super
structure and hull were damag
ed and that a resulting fire took
two hours to bring under con

nounced the incident as an un
provoked attack on a vessel
operating in international wa

was presumed to be Cuban and
that the government was in
vestigating to determine wheth
er a protest should be made.
The department said a distress
messag from the ship reported
that the attack area was illumi
nated by orange flares before the
strafing off Cape Corriente on the
southwestern tip of Cuba.
American jet fighters were
sent out from Key West, Fla.,

was received, but the State De

Graham Dormitory.
The meeting, which Long de

to study the needs end sugges

consist mostly of "off the cuff

Among the topics which Long
said might be brought up include
the questions of intramural

problems concerning residence

to retaliate against any attack
over international waters.
The incident came a year to
the day after President Kenne
dy, in a dramatic radio-television
speech, demanded that So
viet Premier Nikita Khrushchev
withdraw Russian missiles from
Cuba.
The attack also came less than
24 hours after Cuban Premier
Fidel Castro appealed to the
United States to lift its economic
embargo against Cuba. In a
Monday night radio - television
speech, he said such action was
needed to help Cuba recover
from hurricane Flora's devasta
tion. The J. Louis, which normally
carries a crew of 49, is char
tered to the Caribbean Steam
ship Co., a Reynolds Aluminum
subsidiary. It was said to have
been making four voyages a

each time along the southern
Cuba coast.
Called the Virginia Minstrels at
the start, Christy's group toured
the South and West and ended up
in New York. They popularized
such songs as "Oh Susannah" and
"Camp town Races."
Minstrelry, as the Christy Min

as "singing in harmony anu n

The New Christy Minstrels are
made up of performers from
smaller groups and individual acts.

wards a closer harmony and
unity among male residents by
arousing interest in residence
hall improvement.
Dean Long said that many male
residents are plagued by an "in
feriority complex." "The indi

said. The success of this program

his realization " that, with the

Ask some of Dr. Maurice Nat
anson's philosophy students
about him. Chances are they
will answer, "He's real neat,"
'"He's very good," or "He's a
great guy."
Then ask why Dr. Natanson
seems so "boss" and they will
probably look puzzled and an
swer, "I don't know. He just
is."
Why is he admirable? One stu
dent explained: "There is a type
of professor who is expert on his
subject and yet is so strict that
nobody likes him. There is an
other type that is so lax that he
becomes 'one of the gang.' Dr.
Natanson knows what he is
teaching, we can talk to him,
and we respect him."
"I have no techniques, gim
micks or devices in teaching my
students," the blond-bearded pro
fessor explained. "The student
often feels he isn't seen as a
person or as an individual. He
is just fulfilling a role as a 'stu
dent'. "If this situation exists," he
said, "the teacher doesn't have
much of an impact with the stu
dent. One student caa be replac
ed by any other, or any teacher
by another. It won't make any
difference. If you follow this line
you end up with machines. I'm
Ragtime Jazz
"Folk Hero"
To Appear
Max Morath, a man described
as the "ideal spokesman" for
ragtime by "Variety" magazine
and the "folk hero of the spread
ing ragtime cult" by "Time,"
will come to Memorial Hall
Thursday night at 9 p.m.
Morath will bring his one-man
show, "Ragtime Revisited," to
re-create authentic songs and
piano solos of the energetic turn
of the century.
Obviously genuinely fond of the
era, Morath dresses with eye
catching flamboyance a pearl
gray derby, red ascot tie flow
ing out of a wing collar, and a
light' blue suit lined with a faint
pin stripe.
Morath has no personal memo
ries of the period (he was born in
1926), but first heard piano rags
played by his mother. Now, h
sings songs with honest enthusi
asm, without poking fun at them.
He has no need to gild the humor
of amusing songs, which still
stand on their own merits.
Subjects of the popular songs
include the telephone, booze, and
theoretically "dirty" songs in a
time when people "thought a four
letter word was a three-letter
word in the plural."
Ragtime began as a definite
style in the early 1890's, and the
first rag was published in 1897.
A derivative of the Negro spirit
ual, it opposed a syncopated right
hand to a marching bass, and it
talked, as one wag observed, of
the six days of the week the
spirituals ignored.
When he turns his attention to
the playing of a piano rag, Mo
rath is careful to avoid the con
temporary stereotype of ragtime,
which he describes as "good to
bad ragtime arrangements of
popular tunes of the twenties
played on a ricky-tick piano."
There is no ricky-tick in Mo
rath's piano and he goes back
beyond the twenties to the works
of the classic composers of rags
- Scott Joplin's "Euphonic
Sounds." Joseph Lamb's "Rag
time Nightingale." He plays them
with a measure of feeling and
body that may come as a sur
prise to those who know the clas
sic rags mainly through piano
roll performances by their com
posers or in performances influ
enced by these piano , rolls.
He does not shy from the sen
timental songs that could be ob
vious subjects for caricature. He
gives them point by placing them
in the context of the illustrated
colored slides that were typical
of turn-of-the-century entertain
ment. The slides that Morath
uses are a particularly fascinat
ing part of his performance.
Beautifully preserved and clean
ly reproduced, they have been
chosen from a collection of 30,000
slides assembled by John Ripley
of Topeka, Kan.

opposed to the automatic line of
relations.
"You don't need a good per
sonality to be a good teacher,"
he said. "I'm not saying you
need a bad personality. Who
are the students the professors
are attracted to? Some of them
are disappointments and don't
challenge the professional com
petence of the teacher. It is a
double relationship and there is
a need on both sides."
Natanson neither advocates or
disapproves of social relation
ships with students. "Larger uni
versities like this one do not lim
it professors by charter in their
social relationships with stu
dents," he said. "A university
contains diverse temperaments
and professors are different
kinds of people. Some like social
relationships and others want
isolation.
"Anyone who strives to be a
popular professor," he continu
ed, "is lost before he begins. If
you have to develop technique
you're a fraud."
He does not feel that he has
been . especially blessed with
good students. He said of the
. UNC student body: "I think
there is great openness and con
siderable willingness to listen.
There are some gangsters, but
there are people who want to

Another study on the Honor
System has come up that con
tradicts in part the study of the
Men's Council and the sociology
department made last spring.
The study, based on 30 stu
dents from different depart
ments, is the result of a project
by students in Dr. W. A. Daniel
son's Journalism 165 course,
"Communication and Opinion."
One strong contradiction with
the Council's survey stands out.
The Danielson poll found that
more seniors than freshmen sup
ported the Honor System, and
that the student's confidence m
the System increased as his
time passed at the University.
"The longer you stay in the
System, the more respect you
have for it," Dr. Danielson con
cluded.
Last spring's survey by the
Men's Council and the sociology
department found slightly less
respect and more violations
among seniors than among
freshmen.
However, the freshmen of the
Council's survey were freshmen
last year. In Dr. Danielson's
study the students were fresh
men in 1960.
The Danielson poll consisted
of a questionnaire passed out to
91 freshmen in 1960 by two stu
dents, William H. Miller and
Donald L. Dotson.?
'"iXiast spring four, students in
Dr. Danielson's course looked
up 30 of the original 91 stu
dents, who were by then seniors,
and gave them the same ques
tionnaire to compare with the
1960 results. The pollsters were:
Susan Grosser, Doris Smith,
Ernest Stepp and Alvin Daught
ridge. "They didn't really have
enough people," Dr. Danielson
said, "so that one has to be ex
tremely careful about drawing
any conclusions from it."
However, the J-165 poll re
vealed that there were several
drastic changes in student opin
ion between their freshman and
senior years.
While 53 per cent of the stu
dents as freshmen preferred to
have individual professors han
dle cheating cases in their own
classs, only 23 per cent felt this
way senior year. About 57 per
cent of the seniors preferred
trial by the Honor Council over
other means.
Students in their senior year
generally advocated stronger
penalties for cheating than they
did as freshmen. The majority
of students in both instances felt
cheaters should receive a pro
look at themselves and their
problems philosophically.
"Students try to live up to
'images something that is ex
pected of them. Courage is in
volved in being a student. He
requires courage to accept
change. This need doesn't apply
to regional groups and races.
This is a part of being educat
ed." The New York native has
taught here seven years. In
undergraduate school he major
ed in English and psychology,
but he turned to philosophy be
cause "all my questions in both
subjects led to philosophy."
Dr. Natanson is married and
has three children.

expulsion for the second.
None of the freshmen and 24
per cent of the seniors felt sus
pension should be given for
cheating.
The students were evenly split
in their feelings about the par
tiality of the Men's and Wom
en's Councils. The students as
seniors tended less to feel that
the Councils were partial.: A
slight majority felt that the
Councils were "probably" par
tial to some groups and indi
viduals. Grant Wheeler, a member of
the Men's Council in 1960 and
now assistant Dean of Men,
pointed out that there were more
lenient decisions in 1960 than in
1963.
"There has been a distinct
trend toward greater severity
in penalties given for cheating
violations," Wheeler said.
This may have had some ef
fect on the majority of freshmen
of 1960 selecting probation as
the best penalty for first-offense
cheaters.
About 53 per cent of the stu
dents in 1960 felt that trials
should be open to the public if
the defendant so desired. About

Trial Procedure
Biggest Query
What is the procedure of the
Honor Council trials?
This is the question most fre
quently asked at the discussions
being held at the dormitories and
fraternities by members of
UNC's judicial councils.
A re-definition of the Campus
Code and a talk on the philosophy
and penalties of the Honor Code
have been the main points of the
discussions.
The discussion groups are led
by two representatives of the
Men's Council and one of - the
Women's Council.
Whitney Durand, chairman of
Men's Council, said that the re
sponse has been good at the
fourteen discussions held so far.
Tonight discussions will be held
at Ruffin and Grimes at 10:15
p.m. There will be one at the
Sigma Phi Epsilon, Thursday at
7 p.m.
The schedule for next week has
not been announced.
Durand said that the discus
sions will be completed within
the next four weeks.
Re solution
seniors felt this way while en
increase from 20 to 33 per cent
felt the trials should be open to
a reporter only.
Last year was the first time
trials were open to reporters.
Concerning a student's grade
after a cheating violation and
probation sentence, 50 per cent of
the freshmen and 47 per cent of
the seniors thought the student
should fail only the work cheated
on. None of the freshmen and a
third of the seniors thought th
student should fail the whole
course.
A slight majority of both fresh
men and seniors felt that stu
dents should not have to report
cheating violations.
In the conclusion of the study,
the students conducting it said
that the study was not complete
and that:
"To find the true feelings of the
student, a different questionnaire
should be administered. The new
questionnaire should strive to ask
more pertinent questions to a
large sample."
These students were not aware

ducted last spring by the Men's
Council and the Sociology depart
ment.

To Disclose
Contents On
October 28
By MICKEY BLACKWELL
The University Faculty Council
yesterday adopted a strong reso
lution voicing its opposition to the
recently enacted Speaker Ban
Law.
The exact contents of the reso
lution will not be made public un
til the Board of Trustees meets
here Oct. 28, but informed sources
said that the resolution "was
very reasonable and calm and was
not intended to inflame anyone."
Another member of the Council
said that the resolution was de
signed to "educate rather than
agitate."
The resolution was passed un
animously, an official said. There
were only a few verbal amend
ments to the measure and these
vvere designed simply to correct
or change some of the wording.
After the final draft of the
resolution is completed, it will
be presented to Chancellor W. B.
Aycock then to Consolidated uni
versity President William C. Fri
day and finally to the Trustees.
Indications are that the trustees
will also propose a resolution,
voicing their opposition to the
"gag law". It is not known wheth
er they will adopt a resolution
separate from the Faculty Coun
cil's or whether they will draw
up a new resolution.
The resolution was fairly long,
about four type-written pages,
1 1 sources said. It was drawn up by
ll a special seven-man committee
Henry Brandis.
Some GO council members vot
ed on the measure yesterday, al
though around 100 were present.
The 60 voting members are part
of the 75-member council. The
council members are elected from
various ranks of the faculty 'pro
fessors, instructors, lecturers,
etc).
The meeting was conducted in
a friendly atmosphere, sources
said, and there was "no opposi-

To Headline
UN Program
By HARRY DeLUNG
Harry DeLung, outstanding
UNC senior and regional chair
man of the U.S. National Student
Association, will be the keynote
speaker at the United Nations
Day program at Randolph-Macon
Women's College.
Today at noon, he will present
a criticism of the U.N. from the
viewpoint of the Soviet Union.
According to DeLung, the audi
ence will not be told that the 30
minute speech is a communist
viewpoint until it is over.
The purpose of this topic, ac
cording to Janet MacCutcheon of
Randolph-Macon, is to provide a
stimulus for discussion groups
that will follow. She added, "We
hope the speech will make our
students more aware of the
problems of disunity that face
the U.N. All 750 women here will
be present for the program."
MacCutcheon said DeLung was
invited to make the pro-Soviet
talk because he was a well-known
speaker at the school and would
not be personally linked with
Communism. He was chairman
of the USSR delegation to the
Mock U.N. Assembly of 13.
