DECEMBER 10, 1963 United Press International Servica First Of A Series xidia: Best, Worst Editor's Note: This is the first in a series of dispatches from a UNC student visiting India. Miss Rhymes, a senior from Hickory, participated in the Experiment in International Living Program. Hep trip was sponsored by the International Students Board here. By MARGARET ANN RHYMES NEW DELHI One cannot pre pare for India. One can read of the statistics of poverty, illiter acy and disease but in no way can one prepare for confronting these in human terms. One day we stopped at one of the larger religious villages in Northern India. As we walked through the winding, mud streets, we were followed by a throng of Indians babies covered with sores, blind men, beggars, lep ers, holy men with ashes rubbed over their bodies, people nude, people in rags and dozens of cows, monkeys and dogs. Present too was that odor which is an integral part of In dia, arising from a combination of open sewers (small gullies along the streets), cow dung (used for fuel), heavy incense and well-spiced Indian cooking. Here we saw the average $70 yearly income come alive in bloated stomachs and cracked skin, the 42-year life expectance in diseased and disfigured forms and the 76 per cent illiteracy rate in beings concerned for Interns Can Work While They Learn By HUGH STEVENS (First of four Articles) Would you like to spend the summer working for the state of North Carolina? If so, hurry to your typewriter and apply for one of the twenty vacancies in the N. C. Summer Internship Program in State Gov ernment. The program, a big success for the past two years, offers out standing students an opportunity to work in approximately fifteen state government agencies. The 1964 program will last from June 15 through August 21, and the student interns will have in ; tensive, coordinated discussion on governmental and related problems in North Carolina in addition to their work. The semi nars and discussions will be un der the supervision of a political - scientist and will have state of ficials, leaders, and political scientists as guests and speakers. Interns will be paid $75 per week, and all will live at one of the North Carolina State dormi tories. m order to qualify, an applicant must have completed two years of undergraduate study, and must be either a N. C. resident or duly en rolled in a North Carolina college. Graduate students are also elig ible. Application materials are avail able from chairmen of the Politi cal Science, History, Economics, B.A., Education and Sociology departments, as well as the place ment office. They may also be obtained upon request from the Chain Letters Can Mean Jail Warning: stay away from those chain letters! They are a violation of N. C. lottery laws, and can result in up to two years imprisonment and a maximum fine of $1,000. Buzzy Stubbs, student Attor ney General, said yesterday that at least two chain letters are circulating on campus now, and strongly urged all students to avoid participation ia them. "Chain letters, as such, are not specifically a violation of the Honor Code," Stubbs said, '"but in the past we have treated violations of civil law as Cam pus Code infractions." One of the letters currently being circulated apparently started in Louisiana, while an other came from Duke. "Some of the letters may ap pear to be almost foolproof," Stubbs commented, "but in the end someone has to lose money." He indicated that Student Government officials will take action on the letters if they be come too widespread. Mean while he suggested that students follow a policy of "HANDS OFF!" nothing other than their next meal. And we had difficulty in grasp ing this experience: that these people, too, were huban beings. It was as though we had been out of touch with the mainstream of the world all these years and suddenly here it was upon us. For this is how almost 90 per cent of India lives and every seventh human being in the world is an Indian. Add this to China and one has one-third of man kind. And then there is the rest of Asia and Africa. s We have described the above experience not that this remains our overwhelming impression and has obscured our view but to illustrate the power of India to shock and to enthrall. It is the latter reaction that one must feel if one is to look beyond the physical conditions to see into the spirit of these people. The foreigner in India inevit ably feels frustration over his helplessness in the midst of such large-scale suffering. But, here is where the great effort must begin toward a serious under standing of this land. No nation could be more ex citing now as India moves slowly toward the uplifting of its ex terior and the modification of spirit which must accompany the change. Governor's Office. Ray Far r is, UNC law student who acted as coordinator of last year's program, announced that applications should be mailed to the Governor's office by Dec. 15. Applications will be accepted after that .date, however. " " On the application the student gives biographical data, extra curricular record and an essay on his career plans. An academic transcript and letters of recom mendation are attached. A committee which includes prominent political science teach ers will begin making selections about January 10. Applicants last year totaled 230. Finalists will be interviewed in Chapel Hill during the first week in February. The committee seeks students with good minds, leader ship ability, and a concern for the people of North Carolina. Selected students will go to Raleigh for an orientation period prior to the beginning of the pro gram. As the program is sponsored by the State, the interns make work ing contributions to State opera tions. To achieve this working contribution, agency advisors were assigned by the heads of State agencies and work schedu les were arranged that would uti lize the abilities of the students. Some of the projects last year included: a study of curriculum inadequacies in Negro Colleges in North Carolina; rewriting of all prison training manuals; an analysis of how tax exempt found ations have influenced the econo my of the state; and a study of cigarette taxation policies in the 50 states. Nine different N. C. schools were represented in last year's program, with the largest num ber coming from UNC. The heart of the internship pro gram is the challenge offered by the discussion meetings. The 1963 program featured 14 luncheons and 14 evening seminars, with at least one a week. Here the story of North Carolina was told the failures and accomplishments of the past, the problems and op portunities of the present, and the hopes and aspirations of the future. All discussions featured outstanding members of state government, political leaders, and educators. In the course of the ten-week program, virtually every aspect of state government was covered by the student discussions. All those who participated agreed that such discussions were the most interesting and valuable part of the program. "This is a tremendous pro gram," Farris said last week. "I would urge all students who are interested in state affairs, regard less of their field of itudy, to ap ply for the program." (Beginning tomorrow, the DTH will present profiles bf some - of ' the participants in the 1963 State Internship Program.) Of Man Once the cultural shock is ab sorbed, and an attempt made to understand the complexities of Hinduism as a way of life, only then can one begin to know In dia. There are sixty of us, includ ing a dozen Europeans, who have been making this attempt to know India through two months of life in Indian families. The sixty are broken down into groups of a dozen, each going to separate cities for the homestays. Most of these Ex perimenters are enrolled either in their final year of college or in graduate school. About half are sponsored by their uni versity or community. Prior to our homestay periods, we spent one week in New Delhi, our arrival point, and two days at Agra, site of the Taj Mahal. New Delhi was hot and humid as the city waited anxiously for the long overdue monsoon. Sev enty per cent of Indian agricul ture depends on the freaks of the summer rains, so the concern is understandable. The schedule was full, includ ing receptions given by Presi dent Radhakhrisnan and (former) Finance Minister Desai, an hour long audience with Prime Minis ter Nehru and several meetings with other political figures. The last evening in Delhi was a unique contrast to the walk through the village: a lively party at the home of an upper crust family which found Euro peans, Latin Americans, North Americans and Indians from turbaned, bearded Sikhs to ortho dox, sari-clad Hindus all twist ing to Western music. Here one could pull down the curtain on the income of $70 per year and open it on the $70 per week existence one of the thous ands of contrasts of India. Nehru has said: "India con tains all that is disgusting and all that is noble." And this we have been discovering. STANFORD TO RECRUIT HERE Nathaniel C. Allyn, director of admissions of the Stanford Graduate School of Business, will visit UNC today to meet in terested students and business men. Stanford currently enrolls students from 80 different in stitutions. Nearly 40 per cent of those studying for their MBA have from one to five years ex perience in the business world. Those who wish to see Allyn should contact J. M. Galloway, director of placement, 204 Gar ner Hall. CIVIL RIGHTS Reprints of the Symposium "Civil Rights and the South" will be on sale daily in Lenoir Hall from 11-2, at $1.50 per copy. The articles were originally printed in the North Carolina Law Review. The articles deal not only with the legal aspects of the civil rights problem, but also with sociological and psychological aspects as well. ALL ABOARD! A representative from Sea board Airline Railroad will be on campus Tuesday from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. to sell tickets for the trip to Jacksonville. The round-trip fare is $26.50. The train will leave Raleigh about 9 p.m. Thursday or Friday, Dec. 26 or 27. Several times are open for the return trip. The ticket sales will be in the lobby of Woollen Gym. UP Elects New Chairman Tonight The University Party will elect a new party chairman at a business meeting tonight at 8 p.m. in Gerrard Hall. Mike Chanin, who served as party chairman for two years the longest tenure in UP his tory, has submitted his resig nation in order to devote more time to student government and other activities. Because of Chanin's long term, no clear-cut favorite has been mentioned and a wide open contest is expected. Other business on the agenda includes discussion of proposed by-law changes and UP resolu tions concerning "bull" pledges attending fraternity parties and the Student-Faculty Review Board controversy that are ex pected to be considered by Stu dent Legislature. Chanin urged all party mem bers to attend the meeting and to give "the new chairman their whole-hearted support. WF Lists . w. " ' FURRY MIRKPATRICK, sports editor of the Daily Tar Head, was not included in this year's Who's Who in the Bronx Zoo. Furry protested his exclu sion from the yearbook on the grounds that he is entitled to recognition for eating more ba nanas than his mother, Chiqui ta, who is listed Photo by Tar zan. We Ain't Either Question: Who's Who at the University of North Carolina? Answer: Nobody. At least that's the official situation if one takes as his guide the yearbook called "Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities," published yearly in Alabama. The reason for this somewhat disappointing situation is not that Carolina does not have anybody who Is, but rather that we don't have anybody who Does. That is to say, no one at the University goes to the trouble to send in a list of stu dents Who Are. A DTH check of administra tion and student government of ficials .yesterday revealed that UNC - does not participate in the publication's yearly selection of BW- and BMOC's. The reason for the omission, apparently, is that Tar Heels would rather be than seem which is to say that they don't think a listing in the college Who's Who is really worth the paper it's printed on. Random comments from a half-dozen students and ad ministration spokesmen ranged from a docile "I'd never really thought about it," to an out raged, "I wouldn't be in the damn thing if you paid me which they don't, as a matter of fact. You pay them." The DTH check resulted from a report that the Wake Forest student newspaper, the Old Gold and Black, has protested the method of selecting nominees for the honor. Y Will Give To Danville The YMCA Human Relations Committee voted unanimously last week to give financial sup port to the Friends of Danville, Va. fund-raising campaign being conducted here by the campus chapter of the Student Peace Union. The fund-raising program, which began Nov. 20, has netted about $60 so far, according to Rick Doble of the SPU. The money is being used to pay the $4.94 poll tax needed to register a voter in Danville and to finance projects conducted by the Danville Christian Progres sive Association (DCPA), Doble said. Y committee chairman Scctt Trull said that when university student governments are adopt ing resolutions, and giving money and students are giving up meals to save money for Danville the best the commit tee here could do was support the program. Contributions can be made at the SPU office in the Y Build ing or sent to "Friends of Dan ville," Box 382, Chapel Hill. SPEAKER BAN BACKED Unanimous support of the Com munist speaker ban law enacted by the 1963 General Assembly was given in a resolution ap proved by the Vance County Board of Education at its month ly meeting for December. The stand of the board went eveu fardier also and suggested that "this law be amended . to in clude all colleges and schools public and private." Who Ain't ; WINSTON-SALEM UPI) The student newspaper at Wake Forest College today protest ed the exclusion of 25 seniors from the publication . "Who's Who at American Colleges and Universities" by naming them to an organization called "Who ' Ain't." Charles Osolin of Broomall, Pa., editor of the Old Gold and Black, said the list was drawn as a form of "protest . . . We are pleased to recognize 25 more seniors who have made signal i contr&utions to the life of the college during their four years here." Osolin said the editorial board was displeased because the col lege filled only 25 of the 30 memberships it was allotted by . "Who's Who," a student year ; book published in Tuscaloosa, Ala. Osolin himself was among ' the 25 nominated for the na tional publication. Previous editors of the Old Gold and Black have criticized the "Who's Who" selection on grounds that its only purpose is to "line the pockets" of the pub lisher. Osolin said the editorial board also protested the criteria used for selecting Wake Forest nomi nees for "Who's Who," claim ing that "political feelings" were involved in the selections. He said the paper would recom mend to the student legislature that a committee be appointet to study the methods used. "We hope, through the 'Who Ain't' list, to bring home the need for revising the criteria for 'Who's Who, " he explained. None of the "Who Ain't" members were chosen solely be cause of their academic achievements, he said, as are some of the members of "Who's Who." Jackson Retires As SP Chairman Neal Jackson, Student Party chairman, announced yesterday that he will not seek re-election in the SP election next week. "I have been some time in making this decision," Jackson said, "and I feel it is the cor rect one." Jackson said the SP has made much progress over the last year. "I am extremely proud to say that I have been associated with it during that time," he an nounced. "The Lawler adminis tration has been the best that I have ever known and I shall continue to work closely with it in the legislature." Jackson epressed his thanks to "the members of the SP who have so faithfully helped me during my tenure as chairman, especially Phil Baddour, Bob Smith, Dick Ellis, and Martin Lancaster. "I am fully confident that there are many capable people in the party who could fill the office of chairman," he stated. "I shall be available to assist the new chairman in any ca pacity he desires." Gaskin Gives Fall Lecture James A. Gaskin, associate professor of English at the Uni versity of North Carolina, will give the traditional Fall Humani ties Lecture here Thursday at 8 p.m. in Murphey HalL A specialist on Old English lit erature, Prof. Gaskin will speak on "Women in Old English Lit erature." The female characters to be discussed will be those especially appearing in poetry. The best known . of the characters is Wealhtheow, the Danish Queen, of the eighth century epic poem "Beowulf." A look at the women charac ters will give an indication of what can be known about the role of women in the society of that literary period, according to Prof. Gaskin. The literary peri od dates from about 750 to the 12th century. A native of Summerville, Ga., Prof. Gaskin received a B.A. de gree from UNC in 1952. He has been an adviser in the General College at UNC, served as assist ant to the Dean of the Graduate School,, and has served as presi dent of the UNC Philological Club. The Humanities Lecture is open to the public. iCentMcky s fepeed. iiBFeme In Victory 'Whoa9 Says Studebaker Corp. SOUTH BEND, Ind. (UPD , Studebaker Corp. announced Mon day it is ending its U.

North Ca rolina lost its Big Kid and all its big hopes with 6:22 left here last night, and Kentucky went on to a romp, 100-80. The Kid (Billy Cunningham) was forced out on a fifth foul, but not before scoring 32 points and getting 20 rebounds. The hopes (of overcoming an 11-point lead) were all gone, too, for Bil ly had kept the 'Heels in the game with a dazzling show that outclassed the more - publicized Cotton Nash for 24 minutes. Two quick buckets by Charlie Ishmael at the end of the half had given Kentucky a 40-36 lead, and Carolina had kept alive from then to the 10:40 mark of the second half. But here, up by 58-53, the Wildcats scored eight points' while UNC could only counter with Cunningham's rebound goal. Terry Mobley, a slick-shooting guard who got 22 points, cashed two jumps and two free throws, and Nash added a hook for a 66-55 lead with 9:03 left. Cunningham, with help from Mike Cooke, kept Carolina even for the next three minutes, but when Billy's twisting drive (which was good) resulted in a charging foul, he retired, and UNC was dead. Kentucky led at the time, 75 64, Tcept it for the next few minutes (88-76), but then the Wildcats scored 10 straight to put it away for good as 11,700 Memorial Coliseum fans scream ed in delight. Nash and Ted Deeken split the ten in the killing string. Nash, who played Cunning ham man for man until his fourth foul with 17:02 left, wound up with 23 points, high for Ken tucky. Deeken had 22, Charlie Ishmael, a sub guard who ig nited a first-half rally, 17, and soph Larry Conley, 15. For Carolina, Mike Cooke, on many long-range bombs, had 13, Ray Respess 16, and Charlie Shaffer, who also fouled out (at the 10:36 mark) added 10. Kentucky shot 50.6 per cent (57.5 in the second half) and the Tar Heels 40.3. In the first half, with soph Larry Conley hitting seven early points, Kentucky sped to a 20-15 lead with eight minutes gone. But, led by the rebounding of Cunningham (17 in the first half) and fantastic shooting by Cooke, UNC came roaring back and battled them on even terms through the half. SATURDAY was ping pong ball day at Eastgate Shopping Center, and promptly at noon a low-flying helicopter buzzed over the parking lot dropping ping pong balls everywhere. At once there was a mad dash on the ground, as the crowds that had gathered scrambled for the loose balls. According to Charles Alexander of the East g a t e Merchants Association, each ball had a number and the name of a member store on it. These balls could be turned in for gift certificates, cash or merchandise. Approximately 3, 000 balls were dropped. This was the second annual Eastgate ping pong ball drop.
