NOVEMBER 22, 1963 United Press International Service Iii Speech To Bar Association WELCOME m TO STUDE II II V ! I 'I I I I I Iff f II J) fw' J) Aycock Tells Lawyers? 6Bomfo The Ban By JOEL BULKLEY Chancellor William B. Aycock Thursday night called on North Carolina lawyers to remove "the false sense of security" generat ed by the controversial state Speaker Ban law. Speaking as a lawyer, he chal lenged the belief that the so called Gag Law was a remedy to any supposed evil in Chapel Hill saying, "if there is an evil, be assured that this legislation is highly ineffective in meeting it. It is not good to deceive our people into a false sense of se- curity by extolling a remedy which is no remedy at all." Aycock's remarks came in an address to a meeting of the Greensboro Bar Assn. last night in Greensboro. He said the University' "has produced as a student the founder of the John Birch Society and, also as a student a one-time leader of the Communist Party in North Carolina . . . If we were in the business of producing John Birchers, or Communists or Pro gressive Labor Party members, we have failed. For each one of these strange individuals we pro duce 10,000 solid American citi zens who provide sound leader ship in all walks of life." He commented that the law was posing serious problems to the University. "We are being deprived of the opportunity to learn from visiting scientists who have something worthy to offer us in the areas in which we need to catch up. We are in the pro cess of losing our reputation as being a great institution, unafraid of the free flow of ideas. "There are equally trouble some questions which have not yet occurred to those persons who are prone to make charges but at the same time are quite unwilling to follow through. "For instance, Channel 4, the television station of the Univer sity is a facility. Is it a facility within the meaning of the 1963 Act? If so, is it legal to let a member of the Communist Party say a single word on any subject on Channel 4? What-about news programs? "Would it make any difference if the programs were live or taped? Wrould it be all right to telecast Communist speakers over Channel 4 so long as all the sets on the campus were off? "Another question presents itself in connection with telecast ing Communist speakers or Fifth Amendment takers over a University-owned television receiving set in the Carolina Inn, for ex ample, even though the program originated on a commercial sta tion. Would this violate the 1963 Act? "Quite apart from the diffi culties involved in trying in good faith to enforce the 1963 law is the purpose of the law. Why such legislation in the first place? No one really knows the usual hearings and debate which nor mally provide essential informa tion about legislative intent was totally lacking. Certainly any legislation which both meets our constitutional requirements and combats communism is desirable. "If this legislation meets these tests why isn't it good for all of North Carolina? I have been wondering why the few radio, television stations and . news papers who proclaim the virtues of the 1963 legislation do not vol untarily bring their operations under the ban now and also start a campaign to get the law ex tended. Do they dare? Obviously not. "In the first place, they would not know how to apply the law. They would find it impracticable to enforce it, and moreover, they would be;; the first to scream that they should not be required by law to deprive their audiences, listeners and readers of a funda mental right to hear all sides of all questions. "At the same time, they could not seriously assume that their audiences have more education and more capacity to discriminate between democracy and com munism than the audiences who hear speakers on college and university campuses. "There is no evidence that any speaker on the campus ever in fluenced any of the handful of students who either went astray or continued the path they had chosen before enrolling to adopt or to continue their extreme po sitions." "The fact of the matter is that the overwhelming majority of speakers on the campus are con servative in their views and in general students today are more conservative than thir predeces sors of the 1930's. To be other than cnservative is neows and a few students deliberately seize this pportunity to make news. So it is with speakers who are not conservative. "Two years ago there was a Progressive Labr Grup rganoized in Chapel Hill. The rganizer lives in Nrth Carlina but he does not have any connection with the Uni versity. He has never made a speech on the campus. "Leaders have a duty to inform a sufficient number of people that the 1963 Visiting Speakers Law is a departure in every respect from our traditional practice of free dom . . ." Aycock said. "It is important to recall that over two centuries ago Montes quieu said that 'in a republican government . . . the whole power of education is required.' "It may take years for the whole power of education to exert itself. It will require much time and great effort on the part of many people," he said. ' ' ' i - I - i Chancellor Aycock Challenges Speaker Ban Toronto Exchange Starts Here Today f Twenty-six students from the University of Toronto will ar rive on campus this morning at 9 a.m. in the first phase of this j yeaV's Tofronto Exchange. i Twenty-six UNC students will visit the Toronto campus dur ing semester break, the latter part of January and the first part of Feburary.

The bill provided that the holders of these professorships would not be under institution al pressure, to publish, would not be required to have a PH.D degree or be subject to "other encumbrances i -nonessential tq good teaching." . . , Supporters of the bill said that a precedent was established in the writer-in-residence program because the professor for that post is chosen by the students. Opponents of the bill replied that the expense was unneces sary because the present pro fessors are satisfactory. They argued that the students were no more competent in choosing professors than are the trus tees. A vote of the senate and guests also defeated the bill, 8-7. Foot ha 11 Horro r scope T. D. Gridley scratched his bushy hair and shouted "Hey, . How You?" to the five horror i scopers who 1 had been in I vited to din ner among the 1 trees. ) Laid out on , the table of leaves and ; bark were ba- I . niA nana splits, banana cream pies, peanut butter and banana sandwiches, banana stew, ba nanas and turnips, banana pud ding, banana jello, banana ice cream, and bananas fried, baked, mashed, hot-buttered, kosher, fricasseed and a la Wayne) king. T. D., who has rated the top 0 teams in the country for us for the past three weeks, kept up a running chatter ("Have A Banana") while we gave him the selection sheet. "Umba, umba. Erksh, erksh. Easshy, easshy, Umba, umba, umba, burp, burp. Have a Banana," said T. D. We did (it was yellow) and he picked immediately. Choosing upsets by Yale,. Oregon Stat and Stu- ' dent Government. "Uh, about this Student Gov ernment selection, T. D.?" we said. "What is the meaning of this Why have you gone against us to pick the no-goods at the other end of GM?" ' "Have a banana," he said. "I figured with Johnsye Mas senburg at tailback the DTH won't be in the game after the first half." "But T. D.," we said, "we have Swivel Hips Simonds and Fan Jet Riggs at the tight ends. There's no way anybody can cover them." The distinguished prognostica tor looked puzzled. "Hramm, that may be a problem," said Gridley. "But those passes to the flats, uh, I mean in the eflats, are only short gainers. Student Government will stop the long thrusts." Last week, the Horrorscope took a dreadful beating its worst of the season. Guest star Kitty Carmichael did finish ov er .500 at 10-9-1, but the group together was only 67-47-6 for .587. Mat Friedman led at 13-6-1 with Curry Kirkpatrick second at 12-7-1. With one week left, the mark is 656-356-48 for .648. Kirkpa trick is now four games ahead of the pack at 119-48-8 while Al Kaplan retains second (115-52-8) despite a 10-9-1 last time. 2 a 3 5 C r i 1 1 S 1 ss i 3 s USC-CIemson Clem Clem Clem Clem Clem Clem Md.-UVA Md Md Md Md Md Md Aub-FlaSt Aub Aub Aub Aub Aub Aub Ky-Tenn Ky Ky Ky Ky Ky Ky Fla-Miami Fla Fla Fla Miami Miami Miami Pitt-PennSt Pitt Pitt Pitt Pitt Pitt Pitt Dart-Prince Prin Prin Prin Prin Dart Prin Yale-Harv Yale Yale Harv Harv Harv Yale Purdue-Ind Pur Ind Ind Ind Pur Pur N.Dame-Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa ND ND ND Mizzou-Kansas Kan Kan - Mo Kan Kan Mo ' MichSt-niini MSU III MSU MSU MSU MSU OhioSt-Mieh OSU OSU OSU Mich OSU OSU Minn-Wiscon Wis Minn Wis Wis Wis Wis Okla-Nebraska Okla Okla Neb Okla Okla Okla SMU-Baylor .

Such qualities are often inde fineable and aesthetic, though the fledglings must all have certain distinguishing characteristics: 1. A BeanBird must be able to perch ... 2. To go out on a limb and then not fall off, even if pushed. : 3. To give a worthy demon stration of the BeanBird shuffle. 4. To fly alone even with a broken wing. 5. To twitter-tweet. 6. To control squawks on the ground and in the air. 7. And to use its claws to cling to the strong and sturdy limbs of educational ideals. The new fledglings are: Dan "Sleek -Headed Grease Bird" Batten, Ned "Thunder-Pumping Mudlark" Martin, Howdy "Hog Headed Moose-Bird" Manning, Ann "Bay-Breasted Waterthrush" Branch, Becky "Silktailed Mouse Wren" Peeler, Frannie "Lizard Coo-Coo" McLain, Tom "Red Bellied Bush Bird" Broyhill, Su zanne "Squatting Snipe" Smith, Judy "Buffle-Headed Boy-Bird" Butler, and Doug "Shining Fly Snapper" Foster.

By PATT BETTS Proposals for raising refund values on used texts and lower ing prices at the UNC Book Exchange and improving the choice of dormitory furniture were discussed by the Campus Affairs Board Tuesday night. Ken Simon, chairman of a sub - committee investigating the Book Ex. price procedures, reported that texts are marked 20 above publishers' prices. Used books are re-bought for 50 of the retail price and re sold at 75 of the . retail price, according to Elmer Oakley and Tom Shetley, present manage ment. Simon said he was told that the 25 difference went to "repair of damaged texts." He said no progress was made in negotiating a change in price ing because the manager re signed last spring and at pres ent there is no official man ager. He said he was told that the manager was the only per son with authority to act on price rates. The Board also proposed es tablishing a "furniture pool" by the university in which stu dents might be able to rent ex tra lamps, book cases, lounge . chairs, rugs etc. during the academic year. i The subcommittee on hous ing reported that high student living expenses are due in large part to the university's self liquidation program, which is still increasing because of in- flation. It reported that the Lenoir Hall bond was paid off in 1939 and the gym was also paid off but that self-liquidation continued. "The state makes all col leges and universities self-liquidating, but UNC as a state uni- i versity has to self-liquidate more because it is growing more and faster. Costs have gone up over a 5-year period approximately 18, and dorm rent has gone up 20 and will probably go up again next year for the new dorm which will be ready by 1965," a student said. i The Campus Affairs Board al so outlined plans for an off campus housing survey which i would investigate heating, water, food, furniture, size and type of available accomodations . during registration. The Board reported that of approximately 10,834 students, 5,500 live on campus and the remainder live 'in private housing, fraternities or sororities, or are commuters. IMICKSUP By MICKEY BLACKWELL Entries have been pouring into the DTH office in the "Rename Bob Samsot" contest. Here are some of the latest entries. Sam Bobsot Sot Bobsam Sam Sotbob Bob Sotsam Sot Sambob Black Sambo DTH Fire Editor Igor Hotbox came by the office yesterday to give us a detailed report on the fire (if you can call it that at Memorial Hospital Tuesday night. Igor says there were over 200 students milling around the hos pital and he says there were a large number of nurses literally hanging out of the windows. One enterprising young nurse who couldn't get a clear view of the scene decided to unlatch the window screen and push it open. But when she did, Igor reports, she found that it was not hung to the top of the window and the screen almost fell on the house mother who was standing below. Several other young lassies came to the damsel's rescue and by combining their efforts, they were able to get the screen back on its hinges beore it fell to the ground, two floors below. The football players have a ritual of coins to a movie the night before the big Saturday game. Last Saturday, they got ali fired up after seeing "McLin- tock" and promptly went out and deflated Miami's windbag. But the Saturday before when the Heels lost to Clemson, guess what movie they saw the night before? "The Secret Passion." Did you know that William R. Davie our esteemed founder) has a great, great, great, great grandson attending the Univer sity? Yes, friends, and his name is Mike Nase and he lives at 207 Graham dormitory. I wonder if he knows anything about planting trees. BULLETIN Sudent Legislature, in a roll call vote, voted 27-10 to deny the pen alty of expulsion to the Men's and Women's Councils.
