We think people ought to understand the logic in physics." Dr. Joseph W. Straley of the UNC "Department of Ttiysics,, feels this way about bis subject and he has set out to do some thing about it. He will direct a program at Chapel Hill this sum mer aimed at helping to bring high school physics teachers up to date in their conception of the field and presenting' its basic concepts to them. Under a grant from the Na tional Science Foundation about 35 teachers from North Carolina and other areas of the country Will spend the first summer ses sion here getting instruction on the most modern concepts of physics. "Physics has changed an awful lot in the last ten years," says Dr. Straley. It has changed more than most people realize and I feel that this program, prepared by people concerned with physics, is something cur rent high school teachers de serve to have." Hie program will attempt to present physics as it "appears to the contemporary physicist, as a unified but unfinished story and as an activity carried on by hu man beings as part of the gen eral intellectual history of man Jrind. "Physics is a means of learn ing about nature," according to Straley. "We don't feel a book about gadgets is physics. We want these teachers to under stand the logic of their subject. One equation is a consequence of another. Merely having people memorize them is like taking them on a tour and showing them individual scenes without giving them an overall view." Although the department has ieen holding summer programs since 1956, this will be only the third summer under the new Curriculum, one which is being Used by only two other schools. 'There are many similar pro .grams being held all over the country," says Dr. Straley.

Abraham Ribicoff (D(Conn.) was defeated in the Senate Feb ruary 4, but the issue is far from dead. The Ribicoff amendment, which would have allowed a tax credit of up to $750 a year for payment of tuition, other fees, books and supplies, was defeated by a vote of 48-45. A second amendment, sponsored by Sen. Winston Prouty (R-Vt.) would have allowed a comparable tax credit to working students. It was defeated by a 47-47 vote. In addition to Sen. Ribbicoff's pledge to bring the same bill up again next year, a similar tax allowence will be included in the amendment to extend the Nation al Defense Education Act (NDEA) during the current session of the House. According to Rep. Edith Green (D-Ore.) chairman of the House Subcommittee on Education and sponsor 5i fne NDEA extension, her new proposal would allow a deduction from the total income on which tax is based, thus low ering the income tax bracket of the individual. The Ribicoff amend ment would have subtracted a deduction from the amount of the tax to be paid. Mrs. Green conceded that her proposal has little chance of pass age in the House, where it will come up for debate following the Petition For Boycott Is Circulated A petition supporting Student Legislature's call for a boycott of segregated business establish ments in Chapel Hill is being circulated in campus living units. The petition, according to its sponsor, Harry Muir of Graham Hall, currently has 180 signa tures on it. "We intend to at least do our own small part by boycotting those businesses which refuse to admit that all men are equal, regardless of race, creed or na tional origin," it reads in part. "I just got pretty damn mad when I read Crampton's letter," Muir said when asked why he circulated the petition. Muir re ferred to a letter in the DTH written by Clark Crampton, co sponsor of a petition condemning the boycott. Muir said that those who have not seen a copy of the petition and wish to sign it will find one on the bulletin board of Graham Memorial. . - The petition and signatures are being sent to the Daily Tar Heel. CHAPEL " $ f V, 4 ay r 1' ' ... aw With Nothing To Do But the Laundry Next Year current committee hearings on the entire NDEA amendment. A tax credit for college students and their families has "arounsed outspoken opposition from leading education figures. The primary objection to the Ribicoff amendment stemmed from the nature of the proposal itself, as a tax relief for middle income families. Mrs. Green, call ing it a "middle-class scholar ship bill," charged that it does nothing to help those students who most need help. "Low . income families do not pay enough taxes o benefit from this type of credit." Francis Keppel, U. S. Commis sioner of Education, declared that the question was one of priority and the "first priority is to even out the chances for education." The most pressing need in the area of federal aid to education, "the opportunity for low-income families to send their children to college," is ignored by the original proposed tax credit. Mr. Keppel also pointed out that a tax credit might have the re verse effect of raising tuition, thus "making higher education even more unreachable for low income families." Sen. Ribicoff retorted that the bill was not designed as a sub stitute for any other form of aid to higher education, but was di rected toward the "underprivileg Panama Situation Is Subject Of 1st Old East Lecture A discussion by two University experts on the Panama situation will open the Old East Hall Lec ture Series Tuesday at 8 p.m. in HoweU Hall. Dr. Harold A. Bierck of the History Department and Dr. John D. Martz of the Institute of Latin American Studies will be the speakers. Dr. Bierck will give the social and economic background of the situation. Dr. Martz will speak on the political aspects. The two men will speak for 20 minutes each. A question and answer period will follow. The lectures, if this one is successful, will continue through the spring, according to Old East President Daily Derr.

"Paul Seaton, the chairman of the series, has done an excellent job of organizing this thing, and we expect it to be very success ful." Students, faculty and Chapel Hill residents are invited. There is no charge. HILL, NORTH CAROLINA, t j N tiiiiiii w ' s J Qyyyy'.- 4 "1 Photo by Jim Wallace ed middle class." According to Ribbicoff, middle class students are not eligible for scholarship aid to the same extent, that low income students are, and yet they bear a financial burden in paying for higher education. Opponents of the measure feel that direct aid through scholar ships, loans and work-study pro grams were fairer ways of meet ing the spiraling tuition costs of higher education.

Election Date By PETE WALES Candidates running in the spring elections, and particular ly those of the University Party, are screaming about the latest election date of April 21 set by Student Legislature Thursday. The April date, these people feel, is in conflict with other ac tivities at that time and is too close to exams. The University Party feels that this is a "power grab" by the Student Party who wish to keep their administration and their majority in Legislature as long as possible. Arthur Hayes, chairman of the Elections Board and SP legisla tor, originally requested April 14 as the election date. SUNDAY. FEBRUARY Ifi. iQfiT Imteg (Livi .

Phyllis White, 20, of Greens boro, had identified Edge as the man who assaulted her on a path of the Coker Arboretum last Wed nesday, tearing her coat and blouse and throwing her to the ground. A jury of four women and eight men returned the verdict after an hour's deliberation. Presiding Judge Robert Gambill of Wilkes County declared the football play er entirely acquitted of the charge against him. A highlight of the three hour trial was the emotional testimony of Miss White. She testified that she had dated Edge several times in 1962 while she was a student at Woman's College in Greensboro and that she had terminated the relationship after Edge had made a "passionate attack" upon her in the front seat of his parked car. Edge had called her home three times since she had come to Chapel Hill and insisted on see ing her even though she told him that she was engaged to an other man.

Judge Gambill was forced to call a five minute recess to allow the witness to regain her composure. Miss White further testified that although she did not see the face of her assailant, she recognized the light coat and receding hair line of the defendent. "It couldn't have been anybody else; it had to be him," she insisted.

He denied ever having made an ad vance on her, and insisted that at the time of her attack he was walking more than 40 feet be hind her. A light moment in the tense testimony came when Edge was asked by County Attorney Joe Roberts if he were in "top phy sical condition." The six-foot, 205 pound football whiz replied "No, Sir. I should be, I guess." If convicted Edge could have been sentenced to from one to fifteen years in the State prison.

The announcement came at the Committee For Code Changes Is Organized Honor And Campus Codes Investigated Attorney General Whitney Du rand announced yesterday that Student Body President Mike Lawler has commissioned him to head a special committee to in vestigate possible changes in the Honor and Campus Codes and their enforcement. "This broad role will be de fined by the committee in its first sessions," Durand said. "It is expected to cover such mat ters as the limits of the Campus Code and alterations in the pen alty structure," he said. Members of the committee are Durand, Bev Haynes, Pete Wales, Brian Simpson, Tim Oliv er, Phil Baddour and Cissy Trott. "This is the first such com mittee in several years, but this subject has been a concern of student government in years past," Durand said. The committee, an outgrowth of the discussion groups which the Men's and Women's Coun cils held this fall, will hold open meetings and will allow interest ed students to submit reports and statements. Students may also be called upon to appear before the body. Durand expressed hope that the student body would show an interest in the committee.

The alarm, turned in at 12:40 by an unidentified student, prov ed to be false after fire depart ment officials and Campus Po lice made a thorough search of the structure.

He says he will not have enough time to handle the elections also. UP leaders feel that this is a brazen attempt to keep the Law ler Administration in power while the SP tries to get a can didate for next year. "This is the greatest plot to keep a political party in power since the days of Thaddeus Stev ens," Don Carson, UP floorlead er, said Thursday. The UP leaders pointed out Heads 3 Press International Service end of a two week period of step ped up racial demonstrations which resulted in a massive num ber of arrests and the focusing of national attention on Chapel Hill. Spokesmen said the action was being taken so that "immediate action might be initiated by the town administration to eliminate the problem cf racial discrimina tion in Chapel Hll." John Dunne, charman of the Chapel Hll Freedom Committee, declined to specifiy what action the town should take.

Speaking at a press conference at the Committee office in Chapel Hill, Dunne said that all demon strations where arrests were an ticipated would be halted until at least next Friday. In a short statement, Dunne said: "In January, the Chapel Hill Freedom Committe announc ed it would consider, the cessa tion of all civil disobedience pend ing evidence of good faith on the part of the town of Chapel Hill. Since that time, we have seen no evidence of good faith in the part of the city." "However," he added, "we are willing to take one further step hoping this will encourage the city to act." It was at this point that Dunne said the Freedom Committee would end all demonstrations (Continued on Page 3) 'Goldilocks' Called Lewd Orchestra Flats, Mon. (UDT) A 7-member publications and lib rary board declared the children's classic "Goldilocks" "unfit for child reading and lewdly obscene in its sordid insinuations." The board, composed of elderly ladies, passed down the verdict after extensive study and 7 months of psychological testing. Miss Rebecca Sturmundrang, the head of the committee by seniori ty, said that the book offered "unsuitable reading to children of all ages. Not only does it offer lewd suggestion to the young mind of today by implication and sug gestion, but it is blatantly sen sual by the suggestion that a small white girl would sleep in the same bed as a brown bear." five objections to the April date: 1) This is the first time in 10 years that the election date has been later than April 7. 2) There will be no time for the new administration and DTI I staff to get organized. The in auguration comes within 12 days of the election and exams start May 20. 3) In the event of a run-off, the election would be in May. 4) The Mock Political Conven tion will be April 16 to 13, the weekend before the election. 5) There will be just as many quizzes at the end of April as reasons are not legitimate ones, at the end of March.
