Offices in Graham Memorial CHAPEL HILL, NORTH CAROLINA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 11, 1964 United Press International Servict Dmrham-C H March Planned CORE Head To Speak At Rally By JOEL BULKLEY An uneasy calm prevailed over Chapel Hill yesterday as integra tion leaders prepared for the re newal of demonstrations in sup port of a public accommodations law. Members of the Durham CORE and NAACP chapters have an nounced plans to march from Durham to Oapel Hill Sunday to show their support for the anti discrimination ordinance. James Farmer, national director of the Congress of Racial Equali ty, will address a rally here at the First Baptist Church on Rob ertson St. Sunday at 4:30 p.m., following the march. Local CORE officials declined to comment Friday night on the group's otier plans for the week end. Officials said the march will begin from two points in Durham the campuses of Duke University and North Carolina College at 11:30 a.m. They said the two groups will merge at Forest HiUs Shopping Center (southwestern section of the city, toward Chapel Hill) and continue to the Du-'.iam-Chapel Hill boulevard (U. S. 15-501). Other integrationists, including some NCC faculty members and a group from Chapel Hill, plan to join the mass march at East ' gate Shopping Center here and to continue with the Durham groups to the church for the rally. The march is intended to ex press support for a proposed pub lic accommodations, which was proposed last June to the Board cf Aldermen and a "fair employ ment practices" law, a spokesman said. The Aldermen are expected to take definite action on the law at their Monday night meeting. After five days of racial calm here this week, the Town appear ed to be bracing itself for intensi fied demonstrations this week end. Police Chief William D. Blake said Friday he hadn't been notifi ed about Sunday's march, but in dicated the police would be ready to handle it. "All we know about it is what we've read in the pap ers,' he said. More than 1800 signatures have have been gathered for a petition supporting the controversial ac commodations have been gather ed, Rev. Charles Jones said yes terday. The signatures will ap pear Sunday in an advertisement in the Chapel Hill Weekly. The Aldermen voted 4-2 June 23 to postpone fcr an indefinite length of time any action on the measure aimed at making it il legal for retail establishments do ing business with the general pub lie to discriminate on the basis color. Two hundred and thirty-nine arrests have been made here since demonstrations resumed Dec. 13, with five incidents of violence be ing reported. Durham officials planning the march issued the following state ment on their plans. "Members of Durham CORE and NAACP chapters will walk to Chapel Hill Sunday. "The gradual pace of this journ ey is a reflection of the gradual pace of America toward a true realization of its ideals. "We ask you our fellow Ameri cans to walk with us on this journey if not in deed, then in spirit then to the end of the road through the ammonia and jail cells, to a society where every American citizen can patronize, end seek employment in, every American business." REIFLER TO SPEAK Dr. Clifford Reifler, instructor in psychiatry at the UNC Medical School, will speak at the In-Service Training Program for Dean cf Women office staff members and associates on Thursday, Jan. 16. Dr. Reifler will speak on prob lems of student mental health and how to manage them. The meeting will be held in Room 105 of Hanes Hall at 4:30 p.m. Legislature Gets 2 Bills Differing On Sit-In Cases By HUGH STEVENS Thursday's regular Student Leg islature session was highlighted by the introduction of two bills concerning student sit-in demon strators and the passage of a $2,500 appropriation for a resi dence hall social room project. The two bills dealing with stu dent demonstrators represent a legislative conflict one urges that arrested students be exempt from student judicial procedures, while the other calls for their cases to heard by the Honor Councils. The bills were introduced by Bill Straughn and Borden Park er, respectively. Straughn's bill praises the non violent demonstrations as being "in the highest American tradi tion" and urges that arrested stu dents "not be subject to any dis ciplinary action by the student judiciary whatsoever." Parker's resolution asks the legislature to go on record "as feeling that there is no violation in participating in peaceful and NASA Lends UNC 3 Ton Exhibit The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has loaned the Morehead Plane tarium three and a half tons of new models and exhibits to ac company its present program, "Space Probes and Satellites." "Space Prdbes" is a detailed explanation of several of NASA's chief projects, and will be, per-:t formed daily at the ' Planetarium through Feb. 3. To help earthbound imagina tions adjust to the concept of man-in-space, NASA sent to Chapel Hill two moving vans fill ed with exhibits. The exhibits will remain on display in the Rotunda and north gallery of the Planetarium through February 24. They cost $18,000 and took two days to set up. A triad is a special structure invented by NASA with which to display large pieces of equip ment without simply placing them on the floor. The NASA exhibits used two triads, one of which supports a full-scale mod el of the NIMBUS cloud data sat Rapist-Murderer Is Granted Stay RALEIGH (UPI) U. S. Dis trict Judge Algernon Butler Fri day granted a stay of execution for Frank Marion Crawford just 30 minutes before the 27-year-old Spartanburg, S. C, Negro was to die in the gas chamber. Butler granted the stay through a habeas corpus that was request ed by Floyd McKissick, a Durham Negro attorney hired Thursday by the NAACP to appeal Crawford's case to the federal courts. The Negro, convicted of the rape-murder of an 8-year-old Ne gro girl in Winston-Salem last Feb. 21, was scheduled to die in the gas chamber at Central Prison at 10 a.m. McKissick claimed in his re quest for a writ of habeas cor pus that Crawford's constitution al rights were violated during his trial, that he did not have time to prepare for his trial, that his confession was obtained be fore he had a lawyer, and that he was denied due process of law guaranteed by the 14th Amend ment. McKissick was given 20 days to file an amended writ setting forth additional contentions. Aft er that the state will be given 20 days to answer. Butler will then set a hearing date. McKissick said that Crawford was arrested Nov. 29 in Jones ville and that he remained in jail there without privilege of counsel or contact with his fami ly or friends until February. He also said that Crawford could establish his whereabouts at the time the little girl " was killed and that he could prove lawful demonstrations," but as being unable to condone "the willful, premediated, and persis tent violation of the law." The two bills were referred to committee for consideration. One legislator expressed the opinion that "they will never get out of the committee." The $2,500 appropriation will provide for a "pilot project" in residence hall social room im provements. Don Carson, sponsor of the bill, said yesterday the project, which includes complete refurnishing and redecorating of a social room; will depend on students for its success. "We must prove that the resi dents can take care of a properly furnished room if we hope to get more improvements," he said. The administration has agreed to help improve social facilities if the pilot project proves suc cessful. J. A. Branch, UNC business manager, agreed yesterday that if the students could make the ellite. Facing outward in three directions from each triad are automatically changing slide pro jectors that describe action in a pictorial sequence. Other satellite models exhibited are TIROS (Television Infra-Red . Observation Satellite), used for global weather-casting; Relay, . an ' . active-repeater., communica- lions satellite. Displayed in quarter-scale mod els are the Apollo capsule, and its LEM (Lunar Excursion Mo dule) in which astronauts will leave the mother capsule to land on the Moon; and the Gemini capsule. There is a full - scale model of a space-suited astro naut; one-third scale model of the Mercury capsule, and a visual display of the history of NASA. The exhibits, one of which stands higher than the chandelier in the center of the Rotunda, are open to the public without charge daily from 2 to 5 and from 7:30 to 10; Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.; and on Sundays from 1 to 10 p.m. his innocence. McKissick further charged that Crawford's counsel resigned from the case Tuesday and that he was left without an. attorney while facing execution. A petition asking clemency for Crawford was circulated on cam pus earlier this week, but it is not known how many persons sign ed it. Cosmo Club Will Choose Officers The Cosmopolitan Club execu tive committee will meet at 4 p.m. Sunday to elect a new president and a new vice president. President Terence Yen and vice president Harotune Dekirmenjian have resigned their positions be cause of heavy academic loads. The meeting, which will con clude the Club's activities for the fall semester, will be held in Roland Parker Lounge of Gra ham Memorial. The Cosmopolitan Club present ly has its largest membership since 1948, with 170 student mem bers and 130 honorary members, who are the host families for foreign students on the UNC campus. In his last letter to the mem bers of the Club, Mr. Yen ex pressed his deep gratitude for all the support given by mem bers, many campus organizations and the Hospitality Committee of Chapel Hill, headed by Mrs. WT. R. Straughn. is. project work, the administration would make every effort to up hold the bargain. "We are dealing with limited funds for this sort of thing," he said, "but I am sure that we could move ahead with the pro ject if it proves worthwhile." Carson said work on the pro ject will begin as soon as the final site is approved. In other action, the body agreed to set up a revolving TV fund for the repair and replace ment of sets in residence halls. Money for the program will come from a Television Maintenance Fund, supplemented by loans to the residence halls from the Gen eral Fund. Also passed was a bill sponsor ed by Evelyn Morris creating the post of Assistant Attorney Gen eral for the IFC Court. The new assistant will investigate alleged violations of fraternity rules of conduct. (Xher new bills introduced in cluded a request for $313 for the State Student Legislature delega tion, and a resolution asking the Buildings Department to investi gate and improve fire safety pre cautions and equipment and fire alarm systems in residence halls. Mike Chanin introduced a reso lution supporting a bill in the U. S. Congress which would pro vide income tax exemptions for money spent for higher educa tion by parents and students.

Extracurricular? No Such Thing, Says Hilliard Robert L. Hilliard, UNC pro fessor of RTVMP said in a re cent magazine article that edu cational institutions should pro vide situations for students to apply to theories learned in the classroom. "Most colleges and universi ties adhere to a divided curri cular and extra-curricular sys tem," said Hilliard in a recent issue of Liberal Education. "I don't think there should be any thing called extra-curricular everything is curricular. "Student organizations provide very effective college-related opportunities for learning group cooperation. Education should provide students with experi ences which will ultimately give him better than a trial-and-error approach to life." Hilliard said the college cam pus provides a laboratory for the testing of the ideas and theories presented in the class room. "A college should no more permit a student to proceed un escorted into the campus labor atory than it would permit him to proceed without guidance in to the chemistry lab," he con tinued. Hilliard proposed "planned ex periences and guided situations" to give students a practical edu cation. He disagreed with the viewpoint that a liberal educa tion should not have to provide vocational preparation. "Students," he said, "learn most not through intellect alone and not through activities alone, but through intellectual activi ties." "A college curriculum limn ed to the formal courses of the classroom is, at best, only half curriculum." Liberal Education is the bul letin of the Association of Am erican Colleges.

COED CONVICTED A coed was found guilty of a campus code violation and cam pused for two weeks by the Wo men's Council in a closed trial Thursday night. The coed pleaded guilty to a charge that she had consumed alcohol "to the extent that she was not in control of her actions." s " f s i 'Wiirr-rWrWjtw;-WraVfIyrn;ifjfe 27 Zone Panama Cuts Diplomatic Relations PANAMA CITY (UPI) Pan ama server ed diplomatic rela tions with the United States Fri day night and opened a campaign to drive it out of the Panama Ca nal Zone after two days of bloody fighting between U. S. troops and Panamanian civilians. President Roberto F. Chiari al ready had ordered Ambassador Augusto Guillermo Arango home from Washington in preparation for the formal rupture. Arango was reported standing by in Washington awaiting "the first plane out." The announcement of the for mal break was made by Cie Pan amanian Foreign Ministry to the U. S. Embassy in Panama City. Embassy personnel had abandon ed the embassy earlier Friday un der threats of an armed mob. American authorities said three American soldiers were killed in the fighting, but Panama Radio said the death toll stood at 27 in cluding four American soldiers and 23 Panamanian students. The radio said 294 persons had been wounded, including 260 stu dents and 34 U. S. soldiers. President Ciiari opened the campaign to force the United States out of the Canal Zone by announcing renunciation of the treaties giving the United States use of the canal "in perpetuity." -The treaties have caused anti American resentment for decades. Panamanian crowds battledUS troops along the border of the Canal Zone throughout the day and wrecked and burned U. S. buildings and cars. Two Americans were saved by police from lynchings by street mobs which roughed them up and beat them. Totally unconfirmed reports said two other Americans had been lynched in Chiriqui Province. In New York the Security Coun cil was called into emergency ses sion to hear Panamanian charges of "aggression" against the United States. Panama demanded an interna tional force to police the Canal Zone. The situation in this Central American city Friday night was one of extreme tenseness. Anti-American sentiment was mounting by the moment. Pana manian flags were at half staff in a day of national mourning while speakers and broadcasts in flamed mobs to angry mood. At the airport 20 miles outside the city Friday morning a score of U. S. servicemen were nervous ly awaiting for a plane to evacu ate them to U. S.-controlIed Ca nal Zone territory. Rioting climaxed long-smouldering Panamanian resentment of U. S. sovereignty of the Canal Zone. The specific cause of the riot ing was the action of American high school students Thursday in tearing down a Panamanian flag in front of the Balboa High School. Last night Chiari, who had con ferred by telephone during the day with President Johnson, threat ened to renounce all treaties with the United States, presumably in cluding use of the strategic canal. Thursday he announced a sus pension of diplomatic relations with Washington. Chiari said the diplomatic mis sion ordered to return from Wash ton would not return until the United States agrees on a "com plete revision" of its relations with Panama. He said he had "invited" John son to take rapid action to solve the two nations' differences. The key treaty was negotiated in 1903. Under it Panama granted the United States full jurisdic tion in perpetuity over a zone five miles wide on each side of the canaL The United States paid Panama $10 million and an annual rent of $250,000. The rent now is $1.9 million. Johnson, faced with the first international crisis of his presi dency and one begun by school children sent Assistant Secretary (Continued on Page 3) i
