"I feel just wonderful," the new queen beamed. "It's great just to go to Carolina. I knew we had a lot to be proud of, but after being backstage with those 102 other girls, I realize it even more.

Her beaming smile was not dimmed by a few tears of happiness Tuesday night. Diane is majoring in elemen tary education after switching this year from medical technol ogy.

Interviews For Canadian Swap To Start Today One of the many exchanges sponsored by student govern ment at UNC is the Toronto Ex change. The purpose of the pro gram is to give students at UNC an awareness of life "north of the border." This year students from UNC will be briefed by representatives of the Canadian government, participate in seminars with other Canadian students, tour Toronto, and witness Canadian winter sports. This exchange is unique in that it involves 23 UNC stu dents and does not conflict with classes. The first phase of the exchange will begin on Friday, Nov., 22 when 23 Canadian students will visit Chapel Hill. This year the exchange commission will make an all-out attempt to introduce the Canadians to life in North Carolina. Accordingly, the theme of the week will be "North Car olina, Microcosm of the Changing South." All students interested in par ticipating in this program may attend interviews in the Roland Parker lounges from 4-5 p.m. to day, Friday, and Monday. UNC PROF HONORED One of three annual teacher scholar awards at Wesleyan Uni versity in Middletown, Conn, has been presented to Dr. ueorge f . Vennart associate professor of pathology at the UNC School of Medicine. Sen. Martin Calls Gag Law Biggest Mistake Since 1900 By SUZY STERLING "I am convinced that this was the greatest single legislative mistake since i900," State Sen. Perry Martin said of the recent ly enacted Speaker Ban law at the first meeting of the UNC YDC here last night. Senator Martin contended that the "best way to oppose com munism is to understand it. There is no reason why we should fear it." He also noted that depriving people of knowledge of com munistic principles will only serve to instill a magnetic de sire in those otherwise not in terested.

Trustees Tighten Admission Policy By JOHN KING Faced with a 35 per cent en rollment increase since 1959, the University Board of Trustees Monday unanimously adopted two policy changes suggested, by, the Admissions Advisory Committee. The two new admission policies are (1) that the admission of out-of-state students to the Universi ty be modified so that applicants whose birth place was North Carolina, and sons and daughters of persons born in North Carolina be counted within the 15 per cent out-of-state quota; and (2) that the effective date for admitting undergraduate men to the Univer sity at Greensboro be changed from the fall semester of 1964 to the summer session, 1964. Committee chairman Lunsford Crew of Roanoke Rapids said that total enrollment in the Univer sity had increased from 16,363 in 1959 to 22,075 in 1963. By institu tion the change during the five year period has been as follows: at North Carolina State from 5,854 to 7,451 (a 27.5 per cent in crease): at the University at Greensboro from 2,586 to 3,737 (a 44.5 per cent increase); at Chap el Hill from 7,923 to 10,887 (a 37.4 per cent increase). "The problem or relating growth of enrollment in the Universi ty to maintaining the adequacy of facilities and excellence of staff is, of course, of paramount im portance," Crew said at the meet ing. "The officers and faculties of our institutions are constantly studying this problem to the end that the maximum number of students may be admitted con sistent with resources and desir able standards," he continued. Crew pointed to the enroll ment increase at Chapel Hill as the most critical problem. The tee action, Sen. Martin said we "voted by number before it was realized what the bill entailed." He also added that in the third reading," when there was a sufficient margin to defeat the bill, the movement was stopped by the familiar argument not to "embarrass the President of the Senate." . He went on to explain that the Speaker Ban refers not only to those known as communists, but also to those who have pleaded the Fifth Amendment. The latter includes as well as freedom from compulsory self incrimination, those provisions which guarantee no trial in a criminal court unless indicted by a grand jury, immunity to a re-trial for the same crime, and federal government payment for private property. - Photo by Jim Wallace Queen Diane Moore year 1,283 more students enrolled at Chapel Hill than in the pro ceeding year, an increase of ,13.36 per cent. The present en rollment of 10,887 is 800 students in excess of the number for Which funds were budgeted this year, and 300 more than the number for which funds were budgeted for next year. He reported that the basic fac tors considered in admitting an applicant for the freshman year are: the high school record, in cluding h i s rank among his classmates; the scores on the College Entrance Board exami nation; the recommendation of his school principal, and other indications of character and citi zenship. "At Chapel Hill last year the number who left the first-year class for academic reasons was reduced from 14 per cent to 11 per cent over the previous year by this standard of admission," Crew explained. The Trustees also heard a re port from William Medford of VVaynesville, chairman of the spe cial advisory committee assigned to select a new chancellor, who indicated that the selection pro cess may be a long one. Medford said the final report may not be available for five or six months. "This is a normal length of time for this sort of thing," he said. Medford said his group had held four meetings and discussed a number of possibilities to re place William B. Aycock, who is resigning in June to return to his law professorship. "Pure economics may be a deciding factor," he said. "The price on university administrators up." Sen.

Peck suffered possible loss of an eye and broken bones when the car in which, he was riding overturned near Cary last Sunday. DURHAM Student Body President Mike Lawler character ized the controversial state Speaker Ban law here Tuesday night as "a gas station issue with the same implications as if one was asked, 'have you stop ped beating your wife?' " The description came in a four way debate on the law Tuesday night at Duke University. Joining-Lawler in opposition to the law was Dr. Lawrence Wal lace of the Duke Law School faculty. Pitted against Lawler and Dr. Wallace were Miss Jo Ellen Sheffield, a Duke junior, and Hor ton Poe, a Durham attorney. The debate, held in the Duke Woman's College adutiorium, was sponsored by Duke's NSA com mittee. Each panelist gave a six-minute presentation, with Dr. Wal lace, a former law clerk to Su preme Court justice Hugo Black, speaking first. Wallace called the law a defi nite repression of speech, and said there was a legal right of the state university to listen to speakers "reasonably" in ac cord with due process. Cites Supreme Court He questioned that membership in the Communist Party was suf ficient grounds to bar a speaker. He cited Supreme Court hearings on the membership clause of the earlier Smith Act, in which it was decided that there was a dif ference between innocent or pur posive membership in the Party. Wallace concluded by saying that the law legislates against the background or associations of a person, whereas the real discrimination should be against ft' ' ,' ' , ' ' , 1 h - f- ' r, ' ' ' ' ' 6 ' f t , A' ?

Somewhere in the United States, ' from some sincere pumpkin patch, the Great Pum pkin will rise up bearing toys and candy for all. Chapel Hill, like all supersti tious small communities in the country, will await the arrival of the Great Pumpkin. And as they wait, they will be performing a number of dif ferent rituals to celebrate the grand coming. Zeta Psis will dress in formal tails and await the annual com ing of the Tri-Delts. the purpose and content of the speech only. Poe, in defending the law, ad mitted that the timing was such as to railroad the law through, but that in itself did not make the legislation bad. "To permit use of a public in stitution for propaganda that is hostile to our country, and also a threat to national security, seems to condone that propagan da," he said. Poe. said "people's minds that are growing are easily indoc trinated." He continued that all schools have a right to teach Communism academically, noting that nothing in HB 1395 prevents this. Not Restriction "I can't interert this bill as a restriction of academic free dom," he said. "A Communist speaker is not wanting to teach, but to indoctrinate." Lawler attacked the bill by saying that its effects are "dis parate with the sincerely stated concerns of its authors. I sub mit that their concern for the security of our society and the education of its young people is not fulfilled by this piece of leg islation. "Complete discussion and ac quaintance with diverse ideas, even those which challenge the very fabric of the society, strengthen the faith of a people in democratic institutions," he said. The law he continued, "accom plishes a legal exclusion of legiti mate and vital knowledge from the state college or university. It already has done so; and will continue not ony to exclude such legitimate knowledge but also The Comes Tonight To Scare The Students And Grab Girls The PTA dorms, Parker, Avery, and Teague, will mingle uncostumed with girls from four dorms in the Ram Varsity park ing lot. Beta Theta Pi will mix with Kappa Kappa Gamma in cos tume from 3 p.m. until. Students will hold chariot races while Administration of ficials hover on broomsticks taking ID s. Chi Psi will revel in costume and the Phi Delts will mingle with the Pi Phis. Champagne and grain is expected. Young trick or tr eaters can ex will make it increasingly diffi cult for the State to maintain the faculty necessary to keep abreast of the rest of the nation." "Lack of Faith" Lawler concluded that the law represents an "unfounded lack of faith" in the trustees and stu dents. Miss Sheffield began her com ments by saying that she doesn't agree with the bill, but she up holds the right of the legislature to pass it. "The lcgilsature determines where the dollars are going, and they had a right not to want to use public buildings for Com munist speeches," she said. In the question period, Law ler asked, "If to use an audi torium is a misappropriation of state funds, is it also a mis appropriation for the library to use state money to buy Com munist books?" Poe countered that such funds were for knowledge, for "the seeking of truth." "As I under stand the word," he said, "in doctrination is not truth." Wallace added, "it becomes a big problem when someone just decides what the truth is." Blast Administration Poe said he thought the pur pose was to curtail CommunLst activities among the students. "The administration is being ridiculous in opposing this bill," he added. Wallace answered Miss Shef field's question about the ef fect of the bill on the guberna torial race by saying that a candi date who could hold cut as a "rabble rousing Communist fighter" will have a good chance. pect the usual tricks from fra ternities in the form of wattr. But the real Great Pumpkin will come sometime tomorrow evening to the Chi Phi House. Bathtub gin and apple bobbing will be the fare at the annual "Great Pumpkin Party." Then comes Georgia and Rak cstraw and toga parties. On Sunday the Great Pumpkin will return to his sincere pump kin patch and the Hallowen weekend will be over. Not even the National Safety Council has predicted the final outcome. i 4 4 i
