o ra ro rz - u l i 'i Z o CO P . " I O u -. 1 Full Investigation For istom-CL Gerstein Smells A Rat The Weather Partly cloudy and cold Frozen Kustard Edition .Bout 9MM mm MIAMI BEACH Fla. (UPI) The Florida state attorney's of fice joined the Miami Beach Boxing Commission Wednesday in a double-barreled investiga tion of Cassius Clay's startling heavyweight title victory over Sonny Liston Tuesday night. State Attorney Richard Ger stein of Miami announced that his office has asked the boxing commission to "make available all records and medical papers pertaining to Liston." Meanwhile, the commission still was officially holding up Liston's purse until two ortho pedic specialists could examine his left shoulder and decide whether an alleged first-round in jury was the reason for Liston's failure to come out of his cor ner for the start of the seventh round. The 22-year-old Cloy of Louis ville, Ky., captured the crown from the 30-year-old Liston on an upset seventh-round techni cal knockout when Liston re mained on his corner stool. At a news conference Wednes day at Convention Hall, where the scheduled 15-round fight was held Tuesday night Liston said: "I wanted to come out although I couldn't feel anything in my left arm, b u t Willie Reddish strainer) and Jack Nilon (ad visor) wouldn't let me." Morris Klein, chairman of the boxing commission, said he was Investigating Liston's defeat in order to make certain that Son ny "could not have continued his title defense." Liston was favored at 7-1 for this bout in which he suffered the first knockout of his career and only his second defeat in 37 fights. Nilon told a news conference that the boxing commission had not notified either him or Lis ton about the purse being held tip and claimed: "Sonny has picked up $100,000 of his purse." It is estimated that Sonny will receive about $150,000 more from his portion of the $625,000 paid by co-promoters Bill MacDonald and Chris Dundee for the privi lege of staging the fight here. The co-promoters will lose about $400,000 in their guaranteed purse price and promotional expenses since the gross gate was only $402,000. The paid attendance was only 8,297. Barney Felix, the fight refe ' ree, disclosed Wednesday that he came within "one split second" of stopping the bout at the start of the fifth round and disqualify ing Clay. Felix said that when the bell rang for the fifth "Clay wouldn't come out he kept sitting on his stool and blinking his eyes." Fe lix said he ordered Clay to come out immediately and that Clay's handlers pushed him bodily off his stool. "Had they not done so, Liston still would be the champion to day," Felix said. "That's how close he came." Felix said Clay's handlers were claiming at that time that Lis ton had liniment on his gloves which was getting into Clay's eyes, but the referee said he inspected Sonny's gloves and found it wasn't, so. Clay held a news conference, and although pretending to be considerably subdued by the re sponsibility of being world champion, managed to get off one good joke on the boxing writers. He said: "I'm considering retirement at 22." A Little Chaos, A Little loutin By MICKEY BLACKWELL "Rock n' Roll music is nothing but a chaotic sound combined witi great shouting it's just be yond the definition of what you Cii'l music." That statement comes from a rruji who ought to know Ben jiicr.in Svvalin, 62-year old direc tor cf the N. C. Symphony. Swaiin is no newcomer to the ' wonderful world of music." He besan violin lessons at age six. '"The earlier children start music lessons, the better," Swa lii says. "This is true not only in music , but in everything. Many of us are deficient because we started too late." Benjamin Swaiin is a lanky gray-h aired gentleman who looks as much like a lawyer as fee does a symphony director. "As a matter of fact, I have taken several law courses," S.valin said. "I guess I would be considered a sophomore in Founded Feb. 23, 1893 Pay Raises Given Four UNC Officials Gov. Sanford has given $3,000-a-year pay raises to three chan cellors of the Consolidated Uni versity. The boosts raise their salaries to $23,000 annually. The raises were granted to John T. Caldwell of N. C. State at Ra leigh, William B. Aycock of Chap el Hill and to Otis Singletary of Greensboro. A salary increase of $1,500 also was given to University Presi dent William C. Friday. The in crease, made by the Governor, brought Mr. Friday's salary to $24,000. Applications Due Friday The Secretary General of next year's mid-South Model United Nations General Assembly will be chosen after written appli cations are accepted tomorrow. Applications should be turned in at Student Government office in GM. A recommendation will be forwarded to the Continua tions Committee at Duke Univer sity for final acceptance. Persons interested in applying for the position of Secretary General should have experience in the field of administration, an interest in and knowledge of the United Nations, a familiarity with the structure and function of the Mid-South 1 SGA and a knowledge of the details and major events concerning the de velopment of an effective UN Model General Assembly. Notification of acceptance will be received by March 5. CUSC Adopts Constitution The Consolidated University Student Council adopted a new constitution and passed a resolu tion on civil rights at a lunch eon meeting last Saturday in Ra leigh. The new constitution, drawn up by a committee chaired by Anne Prince of Greensboro, will change the name of the organization to the Consolidated Student Council of the University of North Caro lina. In speaking for the new name, Mike Chanin of Carolina noted that it is now improper to refer to the University as being "con solidated," but the new name will retain the idea of conjunction of the three campuses. Other major changes resulting from the new constitution are at tendance requirements for dele gates and a reduction in the size of each delegation from 15 to 10 members. The new constitution must be approved by the Student Legisla tures of the three campuses be fore it can take effect. The civil rights resolution, in- ( Continued on Page 3) But Law School if I were in regular classes." Swaiin is a meticulous dress erblack suit, grey vest, orange and blue necktie. He removed his brown frame glasses and cleaned them with his handker chief as he spoke again of the younger generation. J BENJAMIN SWAJJN The salaries of the three chan cellors had been increased $1,500, from $18,500 to $20,000, by the 1963 General Assembly. Mr. Fri day's salary was not increased by the Legislature. The pay-raise funds are part of a $50,000-a-year fund which the Legislature's Advisory Budget Commission has put at the gov ernor's disposal to supplement sal aries of officials of the university The money represents portions of foundation-supported research pro grams on the three campuses of the institution. Gov. Sanford discussed the pay raises brieflv when asked by a reporter at the Capital yesterday. The Governor indicated that he raised the chancellors salaries in order to make the positions more attractive and to bring them more in line with the pay at com parable institutions out of state. A committee of the Consolidated University Board of Trustees is currently looking for a chancellor to replace Mr. Aycock. Mr. Aycock announced last year that he would return to a teaching position in the UNC Law School. Police Use Dogs To Quell Student Riots PRINCESS ANNE Md. (UPI) State police, using snarfiing dogs, clubs and automobiles as battering rams fought a pitched street battle with Negro stu dents Wednesday and sent them fleeing in terror. The dogs bit an estimated 20 demonstrators on the legs and arms. State policemen clubbed dozens of others and kicked some that had fallen in their tracks. One state trooper said that a student threw acid in his face. The battle erupted when the state troopers used their cars to bump demonstrators off the streets and onto the curb. News men and even one state police man were struck by the cars. Within seconds, a pitched bat tle erupted and two dogs were used to charge into the crowd. Screams of terror filled the air. A group of 150 to 200 students broke and ran back to the cam pus of Maryland State College, a half-mile from town, the dogs at their heels. At least 15 of the demonstra tors were clubbed, kicked and shoved into police cars and tak-: en to the Princess Anne jail where they were charged with refusing to obey a police offi cer and with disorderly conduct. A fire truck was brought onto the scene and a high pressure' hose was hooked up. It was not used immediately. The Negro students - fought back, using sticks, bottles and stones to hurl at the state troop-' ers and the dogs. Not "Young people today aren't as patient as they should be," Swa iin said. "They don't want to take the long road, but are al ways in a hurry to get started. "A young person should get as much education as he pos sibly can," Swaiin declared. "I studied the violin for years and years so I could work for years and years. That still holds true nowadays. "We should develop a love for learning and do away with the quest for a fast buck." Although Swalin's major love is the symphony which he has been conducting since 1939, he still enjoys other kinds of music. "I enjoy good dance music," Swaiin said. "I used to play in a dance band. I like other kinds of music too. "But I don't like rock n roll it's terrible. Those people are just big fakers." Swaiin leaned back in his swi vel chair, glanced around his office which is located in Bing M CHAPEL HILL, NORTH M oore9 lo peak The Campus Chest Helps And Gets Help In Return The Campus Chest helps many worthy organizations, but it is not often that one of these or ganizations in turn helps the Campus Chest. Such is the case with the World University Service, one of five charities which will benefit from this year's Campus Chest Drive. Paul Gustafson, a WUS traveling secretary, is on cam pus this week to explain the functions of the World Univer sity Service and also to train the Campus Chest solicitors for the upcoming fund-raising drive. "To train them," said Gustaf son, "you've got to get them en thusiastic and that will take care of it. But getting them enthu siastic can sometimes be quite an assignment." Despite his modesty, it is hard to be around Paul Gustafson and not become enthusiastic about the Campus Chest and the World University Service. Gustafson, a 1963 graduate of Boston Uni versity, is a short, friendly young man whose smile and zest Anne Queen Named Y9s New Secretary By JOHN GREENBACKER After eight years service as chairman of the staff, Miss Anne Queen has been appointed execu tive secretary of the YW-YMCA. Miss Queen, a small woman with a ruddy complexion, nas led a varied and unusual life. After graduating from Bethel High School in Haywood County, she worked for 10 years in a paper mill before enrolling at Berea College in Kentucky. She attended Southern Baptist Seminary upon graduation from college and left after a year to attend Yale Divinity School. After two years she received her Bach elor of Divinity degree. Miss Queen worked for five years as secretary for the Ameri can Friends Service Committee in Greensboro before coming to Chapel Hill. In her new capacity, she will have to work with the Cabinet, Executive Committee and the various programming and admin istrative branches of the Y, be slides attending to her old duties.

Swaiin asked as he thumbed through a book of past symphony programs. "We have one week of solid rehearsal before our tour, and the rest is done in the respec tive towns." Suddenly, as if he had forgot ten something important, Swaiin got up from his swivel chair, walked over to the other side of the rooms, looked at a big map of North Carolina, and then walked back to his swivel chair and sat down.

Moore Here Preyer nLere for WUS is nothing short of con tagious. He begins his state ments with, "Why?" and then he tells you why. "Why the World University Service?" Gustafson begins. "Well, in an underdeveloped area, the college community is a very small component, al though a very crucial one." He stresses that this is because many of a country's business and government leaders get their training in colleges and univer sities. "WUS is an international stu dent service trying to develop the college areas," he goes on. "It is non-sectarian and apoli ticalit doesn't deal with gov ernments, but directly with the college and universities. "WUS is based on principles of mutual assistance and self help. Our main rule is that the local area being helped must match half of the contribution which we allot to it." In training the Campus Chest solicitors, Gustafson stresses three things. Not only is he con duties. " " "I suppose my greatest hind rance in this job is learning to discipline myself so I don't spread myself too thin; when you do that, you will never do anything well," Miss Queen said. Though she doesn't like to speak of it, Anne Queen is frequently called the "unofficial hostess of Chapel Hill," and is a personal friend of many newsmen and politicians. She has a way of resting her head on her hand and leaning near you as she talks, giving a touch of intimacy to her words. "I feel this University has an important role in the state and nation, and when I work with the Y's international and local programs I feel we are helping achieve this role," she explained. .

This cerned with getting across the techniques of charity canvassing, but he also emphasizes the rea sons for the Campus Chest and the philosophy behind charity. "Why the Campus Chest?" Gustafson asks. "The Chest tries to encompass the charities which the college students are the most concerned with. The university community is the proving ground for a person's ability to get along with other people. And working on the Campus Chest gives a person experience in leadership and in working with others. "Then, you ask, why charity?" he continues. "It is a basic part of our Judo-Christian heritage, it is humanistic, and through.it a person can register his concern for his world. Charity ties in with the democratic way of life because it is completely volun tary." Gustafson is quite pleased with this year's Campus Chest staff. "You have one of the best-organized and best - functioning groups I have ever come across." Slim Turnout Hears Panel The University Party heard a panel speak on the topic of the student boycott controversy Tues day night. Panel members were former UP chairman Don Curtis and UP Legislator Don Carson. Curtis, in giving his position on the boycott, said, "There1 can be no other role in the integra tion situation than as an indivi dual. The reason I am against the boycott is because it is so weak it won't work." Clark Crampton asked from the floor how "Mike Lawler could consider his mandate of the stu dents valid considering the ex pressed views of his constituents were to the contrary." SP chairman Paul Dickson ans wered from the floor saying, "I feel an elected leader has to lead, not just represent. In this respect," he continued, "Lawler (Continued on Page 3) United aifce Brin Gubernatorial hopeful Dan K.

Press International Service A Gift: $11.5 Billion Tax Reduction WASHINGTON (UPI) Con gress yesterday enacted an $11.5 billion tax cut that will put extra cash into taxpayers' pockets early in March. President Johnson promptly signed it into law and urged Americans to spend as much as they can. The result, he told a nation wide radio-television audience, will be to strengthen the United States by bolstering the economy. "No one can bury us, or bluff us, or beat us so long as our economy remains strong," John son said in an obivous reference to Soviet Premier Nikita Khrush chev's oft-quoted promise to "bury" capitalism. Johnson signed the historic tax cut bill in a special White House ceremony at dusk, just hours after the Senate put the final stamp of approval on the mea sure by a 74-19 vote. Johnson was obviously pleased at this election-year bonus, but he noted early in his broadcast remarks that the measure was "inspired and proposed by our late beloved Presiden Kennedy' and passed with bi-partisan sup port. Kennedy had urged Congress itt early 1963 to enact a tax cut as a way of stimulating consumer's spending and investments, creat ing more jobs and averting a re cession. Ruby's Jury Gets Two-Thirds Full DALLAS UPI) Moving swiftly as the end neared, at torneys seated a salesman, a mailman and a stylish lady bookkeeper as jurors in the Jack Ruby murder trial Wednes day and had only four to go. The sixth, seventh and eighth jurors were chosen on the ninth day, to make the jury two-thirds complete. It appeared the end of the bickering, maneuvering and quarreling over jury pros pects might be in sight. The second man up at the af ternoon session, Juston Glenn Helton Jr., 31, a mailman, was quickly accepted by both sides. Helton said he had seen a re run of the telecast of Ruby shooting Lee Harvey Oswald. He agreed with the defense that the shooting itself was not a crime, it was the "intent in a man's mind. Robert J. Flechtner and Mrs. Gwen L. English were chosen without argument before the sessions erupted in quarrels. Ruby sat nervously through the ninth day of his murder trial for slaying Lee Harvey Oswald. He rubbed his jowls, blinked his eyes and engaged Belli in intense whispered conversations. i
