Parade Precautions Are Reassuring It is reassuring to see that precau tions are being taken to prevent this year's Beat Dook parade from degen erating into an echo of the vulgar ones staged last year and the year before. The event set for Nov. 22 will be sponsored as usual by the Pika's. Tom Harris, in charge of organizing the pa ' rade, has met with Student Body Presi dent Mike Lawler to get his ideas on how best to supervise the affair and is now in the process of consulting with the heads of the Pan-Hellenic Council, the Inter-Fraternity Council and the Women's Council. The purpose of these talks is to dis cuss the student parade Review Board set up but not put into effect last year. The object is to get one set up and put into effect this year. In addition to this, communications will be sent to every participating group a week before the parade noting that the IFC and Men's Council are prepared to try any individual or group who vio late the Campus Code in connection with the parade. Finally, a strong effort will be made to keep anyone who has been drinking out of the parade. These preventive measures are heart ening evidence that the people respon sible for the success of the parade are giving clear advance thought to it. All persons and groups planning to enter floats in the parade would do well to emulate this responsible approach to what has too often been a moral fiasco rather than the clever, humorous event it is capable of being. Who Needs Smarts. Me Kill 'em With Nike North Carolina's forward thinking delegation in the House of Representa tives Wednesday displayed a little bit of non-partisan solidarity in providing 10 votes against the $1.2-billion federal-aid-to higher-education bill. This state's contingent was the only one to vote solidly against the bill. North Carolina institutions of high er education, including the community college system approved by the 1963 state legislature, would be eligible for a minimum of $6 million under the bill, which provides for a five-year aid pro gram. The bill passed the House by a 250-92 vote, and should be acted on in the Senate within the next several days. What is even less understandable than our delegation's bloc vote is that our own sixth district Congressman, Horace Kornegay, voted against the bill. Kornegay represents Guilford, Ala mance, Orange and Durham counties which contain at least 10 fair-sized higher education institutions including Carolina, Woman's College, Duke and Guilford. Of course Kornegay is violently op posed to high government spending and also voted against one of the key ad ministration school bills in the last Con gress. To add further lustre to his shin ing voting record, Kornegay has never yet voted for one penny of foreign aid. He hasn't stated his philosophy on for eign aid, but apparently he wants to do away with it completely. Not even Gold water goes that far. There -is one instance in which Kornegay visibly loses his violent op position to government spending. Over in Alamance County they have a West ern Electric Company plant which is one of the prime contractors for Nike Zeus missile electrical components. Now there have been all sorts of evidence presented pointing out that Nike-Zeus is probably an obsolete defensive missile and should go the way the Skybolts went. But Rep. Kornegay hasn't let these reports get in his way, and con sistently fights tooth and nail against all attempts to pare the Nike-Zeus budget. We can't blame a legislator for look ing out for his constituents, but it does seem he could be consistent. Our sixth district has only one Western Electric plant, but as we said, it has at least ten fair-sized colleges or universities. The one thing Kornegay does do that pleases almost everybody is visit all the post offices in the district when he is home. You can figure that one out. While Horace Kornegay represents the sixth district of North Carolina, no one need fear that the quaint of breed of pork-barrel politicians will dis appear from the national scene. The Question Is, Can Cathey Sing? Dr. C. O.

He's proving that although the position can be a man-killer, it doesn't have to be. Cathey's soft, pleasant drawl rarely fails to inject a note of calmness into the most trying situations. His sense of humor also operates to ease the ten sions with which he is surrounded. Easy to know and attentive, Cathey radiates genuine concern for each and every student in the University. This, of course, is half the battle in his job. It is said that his surface tranquility prompted someone to consider dubbing him, "the Perry Como of UNC," just as Chancellor William B. Aycock and Pres ident William C. Friday are known, re spectively, and when they're not around, as "Wild Bill" and "Big Bill." Cathey, however, was not given that unofficial title as no one wras quite sure how well he can sing or whether he has ever been an Italian barber. Be that as it may, he has done an ex ' emplary job of earning the confidence of all who deal with him. UNC's new Chancellor, whoever lie may be, will have to look long and hard to find anyone better suited for the position than Cathey. "We Didn't Agree to Stop Testing You ?9 I " I I II I I vA.-'.--r: SPEAKER BAN Likely Issue Next Year By WILLIAM A. SHIRES Issue It now eppears that the 1963 Communist speakers ban is certain to become a prime and explosive political issue on the state level in com ing months. There are many who do not care to see this happen and others who regret that it may be necessary. The fact that it is likely to be come an issue comes about by the epparent decision of oppo nents of the ban to force it into the arena of public opinion and scrutiny as their best chance of killing it. The lines of sharp controversy are drawn. All that remains is for either side to seize the ini tiative and push it forward as a major issue. A step toward doing this was taken when the University of North Carolina administration drew up a detailed dossier of condemnation of the so-called "gag law" and presented it to the politically influential Uni versity trustees. Dodge With this development ,4 Neivs Notes By PHIL NEWSOM Morocco Vs. Algeria In the event of a slugging match between Morocco and Al geria, French experts do not rate Algeria's chances too high ly. The French, who formerly ran the affairs of both, believe the Moroccans could whip the inexperienced Algerian army in a standup fight. For this reason alone, French officials think Ben Bella will be forced to seek a face-saving negotiated settle ment. New Management New British Prime Minister Lord Home is expected to make no changes in the policies fol lowed by his predecessor, Harold MacMillan. In the foreign field the emphasis will be on continu ed close alignment with the Unit ed States. At home the aim will be to maintain the push toward greater productivity and increas ed exports. Above an, tne new government will press to close Conservtive ranks and improve the badly shaken image of the party. The next move will be to try win over public opinion in preparation for elections now be lieved a long way off possibly early fall of next year. and others in recent weeks, it is doubtful that the speaker ban issue can be dodged. It is bound to be an issue in next year's legislative races in a number of districts. It was the General Assembly which en acted the controversial speak ers ban in the closing days of. the legislature's regular session last June. The legislation had the ele ment of surprise and went sail ing through both houses speed ily, before opposition could be organized. Opposition was voiced and votes were cast against it. Efforts to block final pas sage and even to have it re considered and . delayed failed. The measure became the single most controversial action of the 1963 General Assembly. Report Consolidated Univer sity president William C. Fri day relates in his report to the university trustees that the ban law had passed' the House be fore he heard about it. Then, he said, after hearing that the measure had been passed under suspension of the rules and sent to the Senate by special messenger Friday left for Raleigh by oar. "By the time we reached Ra leigh the bill had already been passed in the Senate, also un der suspension of the rules and sent to the Enrolling office," Friday said. Efforts to delay ratification failed, he said. "A bill of far-reaching signifi cance for higher education and the future of the state, which less than 24 hours earlier was unknown to any college or uni versity president in the state and unknown to all but a few members of the General Assem bly, was now the law of North Carolina," he said. ' Challenge Supporters of the ban are confident that the mass of public opinion in North Caro lina is in their favor. The law forbids any person who is a known Communist or who is known to advocate violent over throw of the government, or who has claimed the fifth amend ment in refusing to answer ques tions concerning communism and subversive activity, from speaking on any state-supported campus on any subject. It is the strongest such law in effect in any state and its au thors and sponsors believe it has widespread public support. Thus they welcome a challenge Both sides recognize the issue as politically dangerous and ex plosive. Prior to the presenta tion to the university trustees, the Consolidated University had adopted a policy of compliance. The administration and faculty councils of each unit of the uni versity had expressed strong objections to it. If there was question in the minds of the ban's opponents it was whether to make a fight of it. In his report to the trustees, however, Friday expressed the view that the effect of the ban already has been damaging. "Yet," he said, "we have by no means felt the full impact of embarrassment and , detriment that will ensue if something is done ..." Action It was clear that the "something" to be done was ac tion politically to have the speakers ban repealed or a court test to have it declared unconstitutional. The State Attorney General's office earlier issued an opinion that the speakers ban stands the test of constitutionality. The fac ulty council of the University at Chapel Hill expressed doubt about this, saying there ere "strong reasons for believing the statute - is unconsitutional under both the North Carolina and the Federal constitutions." But, it added, "this is not the place for a legal argument." It conceded the power of the Gen eral Assembly to regulate the affairs of state supported insti tutions. Then the UNC faculty council added, "we believe, however, that the Assembly should not undertake the regulation reflect ed in this statute. A political body is far from an ideal forum in which to regulate such mat ters of university policy . . ." It called the action "disquiet ing" and warned that "a legis lature which succumbs to this temptation may soon go further and enact statutes intended to strike at other matters which it finds distasteful." Repeal There was hesitancy on the part of speaker ban op ponents to force it as a political issue. But barring a favorable court test of its legality there appeared no other choice. When it . goes into the political arena, its opponents want it de bated rationally, not emotional ly. They recognize that it is easily misunderstood. There may be reluctance on the part of candidates for gover nor to express opinions on the ban too, for the same reason it is easily misunderstood. POGO 1 X 1 w !

EXPi?lHCe'"C-CTTA KNOW k aoi i9.S2!tf!W' M05S2M International Affairs: Part IV Seminars Abroad By PETER RANGE UNC has a very unique sum mer student tour to Europe. It cost less than others, it covers a wider range of the European scene; it involves closer con tact with Europeans; and it spends the least time traveling, the most time "being there." Seminars Abroad will take 30 Carolina students by jet from New York to Europe on June 8. On August 13 they jet back from London. In the meantime they will have visited 13 countries, met countless students and oth er Europeans, spent 66 days visiting and 15 hours traveling. It all costs $1395. Seminars Abroad is the least expensive student tour of its nature around. The average cost per day, including all transpor tation for the trip, is $21. Com pare that with $45 on commer cial tours and $25 per day on other student tours. Seminars Abroad was the re sult of student interest and en thusiasm. Founded in 1957, stu dents still do much of the plan ning and organizing and two students are made group lead ers during the stay in Europe. Mr. Claude Shotts, Director, of the YMCA on campus, accom panies the group each summer and plans the itinerary. The program in each city is a combination of group activities a nd free time. The first afternoon of the tour .is spent touring Paris together in a bus. That evening is free. The next day is spent visiting UNESCO, Napo leon's Tomb, and meeting with a government official. That eve ning will bring the Carolinians to an informal meeting with French students with free time following. Such is the typical program for the entire summer. Emphasis is on close contacts with people in the country. Dis cussions and social contacts with students are arranged ia almost every city. All the most important citio; of Europe are visited. In Flor ence the emphasis Ls on art. In Berlin, The Wail and the cal crisis predominate. In Cop enhagen everybody has a fliiv; at Tivoli. In London you try to learn Cockney and under .-::i:yl the speakers ranting on soap boxes in Hyde Park. Through his long experience of living and traveling in Eu rope, Mr. Shotts is able to ar range stimulating seminar.; with stduents and other impor tant figures in Europe, surne thing not offered by any other tour. Besides all the planned pro grams, a great deal of free time is allowed throughout the sum mer. Thus the participants can visit further with students tiay meet at seminars, explore the unknown crannies of crow-dud Florence, talk with Vopos in East Berlin, and the like. Judy Bryant, participant ia Seminars Abroad of Vm2, remembers impromptu bicycle trips the students made in the afternoons in Switzerland, the car they rented to run up to Sweden from Denmark, the hitchhiking they did in England. Often the students took picnics and went to some quaint vii'aue neighboring the big city they were visiting. Further information on this summer's program, inckui;: the complete itinerary and ex pense account, are available now at the Y. Mr. Shotts announces that general information about travel in Europe will be made available to all interested students tins year. A general meeting, with a slide show and panel discus sion will be announced later. Students interested in apply ing for Seminars Abroad may see Mr. Shotts at the Y. Mr I ft D An Endorsement Editors, The Tar Heel, Having read Pete Range's ar ticle concerning " the proposed UNC abroad program, I would like to register my wholehearted endorsement of such a meritori ous idea. If put into effect, it would allow large numbers of Carolina students to gain a mastery of French and some un derstanding of the culture of France while losing no academic credit. A number of other schools in the South and the nation with such proposals have found them to be quite successful. Here is an opportunity for Student Gov ernment, the Faculty, and the Administration to cooperate upon a very worthwhile venture. Whitney Durand Thank God Editors, The Tar Heel, WTien I waked (sic) up this morning and heard the steady down-fall of a wonderful rain, I wondered if we don't take too many things for granted, too many of our blessings for grant ed, and fail to be grateful or to give thanks for our blessings. The threat of a nation-wide drought makes us feel how help less we are to control our own fate. When everything goes well, we have a tendency to feel that we are sufficient unto ourselves and we leave God out of our lives. This is a suicidal assumption, for man, left to his own devices, always brings about his own de struction. So as this heaven-sent rain falls on our parched land, and replenishes our dried-up rivers, lets not take it for granted, hut lets send up a prayer of praise and thanks. Then let us take time out and count all our bless ings and give thanks for them. "Praise, appreciation, grati tude, blessing these are magi cal qualities. They can change and transform a heart, a life; they can heal the body; they can erase old hurts; they can bring joy to us and to others; they can bring meaning and beauty to every day." And our thanksgiving is made perfect when we share our bless ings, when we do something for others. Olclia Connor i Categorized Coeds By SUZY STERLING Many and various are the mo tivations of the coed entering Carolina. However, four basic types of coeds are easily identi fied. Meet Conformist Cathy. All her life she has been told that going to college is the thing to do. She has no real ambition just "stay ing in." What is her major? Weil she doesn't have the slightest idea maybe in time she will be come interested in some riling. After all, her mother and father are so proud of her; she has told them that she intends to major in medical technology. But those chemistry courses are a real headache. And here is Partying Pam. She brought two closets full of By Walt Kelly clothes all the accepted labels. Pam will soon know all the boys in the best fraternhies. Of course, she will have a hard decision to make concerning which fraternity she will major in. But she will have such a lovely time deciding. Her mother cannot wait to see Pam's ulti mate goal of marriage fulfilled by just the "proper-" person. Joining Jane is the next coed on the list. Jane loves be:n seen and known. She will put all her energy into all the clubs she possible can join. She thinks of the marvelous work she can do for the poor, underprivileged people in South Sibera. Maybe she can get her name in the Daily Tar Heel. Jane will a'-o spend a major amount of her time circulating throughout the dormitory, making new contacts. Friends are such fun. Finally, there is Mindful Min nie. Minnie has been conditioned to believe that learning is fun. So she spends a great deal of her time studying. Minnie dates and circulates, too, but the lar ger part of her time is consum ed by improving the knowledge and awareness of her mind. She will probably stay a long time, for she plans a double major, maybe triple. Minnie certainly is serious about her work. Now you have met our four typical freshman coeds. It is unfortunate that a lack cf in dividuality makes them so easy to label and watch.
