QB Ray Farris
Pushes Program
By HUGH STEVENS
(Last of four articles)
It's no problem to talk to Ray
Farris about the N. C. Summer
Internship Program in State Gov
ernment. The former UNC star quarter
back spent last summer calling
signals for the program, and he is
extremely enthusiastic about it.
"The future of North Carolina
will be no better than its future
leaders," he said over a cup of
Pine Room coffee.
"The program is a long-term
investment made by the state
not money, but time and effort by
state leaders and political scien
tists." Referendum
Registration
Starts Dec. 21
Registration for the January 14
Statewide referendum on Legisla
tive redisricting will begin Sat
urday, Dec. 21.
Registration books in Chapel Hill
and Carrboro will be open at the
polling places on that Saturday,
and and December 28 and Janu
ary 4. Challenges Day will be
Saturday, January 11, and the ref
erendum will be on Tuesday, Jan
uary 14.
In the referendum, voters will
decide whether to amend the
State Constitution to increase the
Senate from 50 members to 70 and
reduce House membership from
120 members to 100.
The referendum will be the
same as a general election, per
mitting absentee ballots. Applica
tions for absentee ballets must

in the referendum without re-registering,
unless he has changed
his precinct since the School
Board election.
New residents of Chapel Hill
can find out their precinct, reg
istrar, and polling place by call
ing Elections Board secretary

Knowles May
Not Return
By JIM NEAL
John Knowles shot the literary
bull in the Bull's Head Bookshop
yesterday afternoon, and a con
stantly changing group of stu
dents stood around and ate it up.
Knowles, Carolina's Writer-in-Residence,
was at the bookshop in
the library basement to auto
graph his two novels. The affair
was sponsored by the bookshop
and the Writer-in-Residence Com
mittee of the YMCA.
"We really should have had
some entertainment," Knowles
said. "Like a folksinger or two."
The students laughed. Some ap
peared to be from his classes.
During an infrequent lull in the
conversation, Knowles was asked
if he felt backed into a corner.
He was standing beside a chair
in a corner of the room.
"No, I don't." Looking around,
he said, "Well, I'm protected
from the rear, anyway."
The circle of students backed
away to give him some breathing
room as another fan came for
ward with a book for him to
autograph.
"I think you should all be
home writing, scribble, scribble,
rather than standing around in a
book shop," he grinned around
the room.
A student asked whether he
will be here next year.
"No, I'll be writing. I don't
think I'll be teaching again.
They're planning to make a movie
of 'A Separate Peace, and I may
do some work on that. I think it
may make a good small black-and-white
movie. I just hope they
don't try to make it a big, tech
nicolor monstrosity out of it."
After signing a few more books,
Knowles went on about movies.
"Either don't sell your book at
all, or sell it completely," he
said. "Don't try to hang on to
it."
In the course of conversation,
Knowles said "A Separate
Peace" has been translated into
a number of languages, includ
ing German, Italian and Swedish.
He says he can't imagine any
one going into writing, as hard
as it is, unless they get great
personal satisfaction from it
Farris spoke in glowing terms
of the seminars for state interns,
which he called "the heart of the
program."
"The cooperation from the state
leaders was nothing short of ex
cellent," he said. "We had speak
ers from all over the state come
and tell the interns that they are
vital to the future of N. C."
More than 30 people from every
area of state government met
with the 1963 interns.
'For example, we heard Sam
Ragan, executive editor of the
Raleigh News and Observer, who
spoke to us on political leader
ship in the state," Farris said.
"Like almost every speaker, he
was excellent."
The Governor's Office has
announced that the deadline
for applications for the Sum
mer Internship Program in
State Government has been
extended to midnight, Dec.
20. All interested students
may pick up applications in
departmental offices.
He named others, including Dr.
William Archie, Director of the
Board of Higher Education; Dr.
Dallas Herring, Chairman of the
State Board of Education; Bill
Babeock, Highway Commission
Director; and Ed Scheidt, Com
missioner of Motor Vehicles.
"Dr. Frank Porter Graham,
former president of the Univer
sity and now UN ambassador to
Pakistan, had us spellbound with
his remarks," he said, "and Tom
Lambeth's speech on the great
men of the state pointed out to
all of us just how important one
man can be."
"Perhaps the most interesting
session was a three-hour discus
sion with Governor Sanford at
the Governor's Mansion. He is a
busy man, but he took time to
talk about politics, State govern
ment, education virtualy every
thing." -
"I personally was extremely;
impressed that the program, was

May Return Today
By PETE WALES
The 80 per cent rule, once the
scourge of UNC's fraternities,
may. come back to haunt them
today.
The IFC officers will meet
again this afternoon with the
Faculty Committee on Fraterni
ties and Sororities to discuss their
recent repeal of the bull pledge
social rule and the possible re
turn of the 80 per cent rule.
The faculty committee indicat
ed their displeasure with the re
peal of the bull pledge rule at a
meeting before Thanksgiving and
again last Monday. They are con
sidering a reinstatement of the
80 per cent rule which they feel
the bull pledge rule was replac
ing. The IFC decided in Monday's
meeting to stand on the repeal
of the rule.
Aycock Blasts
Gag Law Again
The controversial Speaker Ban
received another blast yesterday
afternoon as Chancellor William
B. Aycock spoke before dormi
tory and sorority housemothers
and graduate counsellors.
"One of the reasons that this
University is able to compete
with other institutions for bright
young instructors is the strong
climate of freedom," Aycock said.
"The Speaker Ban law starts
off the notion that you're going
to begin diluting this freedom.
"It would probably be better
if we didn't continue to operate
if further limitations should be
imposed."
The speech was a part of the
In-Service Training Program be
ing sponsored by the Office of
the Dean of . Women. The next
meeting will be Jan. 16. ;
The Chancellor spoke of the
problems facing the University
with its expansion. He anticipat
ed an enrollment next fall of
11,200, an increase of 350 over
this fall.
"At the present rate of growth,
we will have to increase our
faculty by 35 to 40 each year.
"We are now working . to stabi
lize this growth so that we may
attain a more gradual rate of
growth for the freshman class."

Gent Rule
A resolution 'was introduced
last night in Student Legislature
by Mike Chanin (UP) and Bo
Edwards (UP) backing the IFC's
action and their right to act on
this problem.
The bull pledge rule was ori
ginally passed by the IFC last
spring. It restricted bull pledges
and academic inactives (members
with less than a C average) from
attending any social functions at
any fraternity house.
The rule was designed to affect
the individuals not making their
grades. The faculty looks on it
as a replacement for the 80 per
cent rule which affects the whole
house when 20 per cent of the
members fail to make a C aver
age. According to IFC rules, bull
pledges are still not allowed to
eat or sleep in the house or at
tend meetings. The IFC feels that
this rule is sufficient to deal with
academic inactives.

Firehouse Is
Toivn's Latest
Acquisition
By RICHARD CREAL
What's yellow and brown, looks
like it's built upside down, and
cost $90,000?
- It's the new Chapel Hill fire
house which stands near the in
tersection of N. Columbia St. and
Airport Road.
From the outside it seems deli
cately balanced. The attic has a
larger base than the upper floor,
and the upper floor has a larger
base than the basement, leaving
two layers of overhang around
the edges. But on the inside, the
building is girded with steel.
Three 150-pound fiberglass doors
provide the entrance to the base
ment which houses three fire en
gines and a control room. From
the control room stems the com
munications system consisting of
an inter-com, a two-way radio, a
telephone for emergency calls and
one for personal calls.
Four large box-like protrusions
can be seen on the front of the
building along the outer wall of
the upper floor. They were built
to make room for the lockers of
the ten firemen who sleep in the
adjoining room.
The greatest advantage of the
new building is - "room," Fire
Chief James Stewart said. "They
finished building around , Nov. ,8.
They weren't out of here one day
till we moved, in. , The old fire
house was really cramped."
The upper floor, which contains
the men's living facilities, has a
kitchen, a dining-sitting room
with television and easy chairs,
a recreation room and a large
sleeping room with bureau draw
ers and closets. There is a small
balcony out back.
The kitchen has a General
Electric range standing between
a long row of wooden cabinets
and the sink. There are two re
frigerators and two large food
cabinets, one for each of the two
shifts.
"This keeps them from accus
ing each other of stealing the
other's butter or something," Ste
wart explained.
The floors are prestressed con
crete with a tile covering, and
the light green walls are made of
sheet rock with stretches of wood
en paneling in various places.
Circular blower fans, fastened to
the ceiling, blow air down from
the heating system in the attic.
"We're building our own beds,"
Stewart said.

guilty yesterday of trespassing in a case arising from
a singing ' sit-in last summer at the Chapel Hill-Carr-boro

33 Military
Bases Will
Close Soon
WASHINGTON (UPD De
fense Secretary Robert S. Mc
Namara announced Thursday that
in line with presidential economy
orders he is closing or nearly
closing 33 military bases, 26 of
them in this country.
The action will, over a period of
up to three and one-half years,
result in a "net loss" of 8,500
civilian jobs, McNamara said.
It was evident that many other
civilian workers at the bases will
have to make long moves in order
to keep their government jobs,
although no figure was available.
The government will pay for any
necessary moving expenses.

Rep. Samuel S. Stratton (D.-N.

the Defense Department was

The closings ranged from sup

Pat Cusick. a former UNC
student and the lone male de

Two of the women, Mrs.
Peter Lybrook Van Riper and
Miss Pearl Cotton, a Negro,
were sentenced to 30 days in
Orange County jail.
The third woman, Mrs. Chris
tine Glover, also a Negro, paid
the $50 fine and $52.80 in court
costs. A spokesman said Mrs.
Glover's son was ill and she
wanted to be with him.
Immediately following the
sentence, the Chapel Hill chap
ter of the Congress of Racial

which said the three would serve
a jail sentence "as a reminder of
the continuing inhumanity tol
