Billy Cunningham: All-American RepeaLOf May Come Soon By JOEL BULKLEY The Speaker Ban Law will be repealed or amended next year, although it will be no easy task, a top-ranking State Democratic official predicted here Thursday night. Democratic Party Chairman W. Lunsford Crew told a meeting of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Junior Chamber of Commerce, "I am convinced that in 1965 legisla tors and educators thinking and reasoning together will amend or repeal this law . . The Speaker Ban, enacted in the closing days of last year's Coffee House Has New Play By Benenson "The Wise and Foolish Vir gin,'! an original play by Tom iBenenson of Chapel Hill, opens at the Triangle Coffee House, 1205 Duke University Rd., Durham, tonight at 9:30. The short play, which is described by Mr. Benen son as "a New Yorkish sophisti cated expose of our modern gen eration, a situation comedy," will be performed again on Wednesday evening and on Sunday, March 15. Benenson, a graduate student in drama at UNC, had another of his original plays, "A Matter of Distinction," presented by the Triangle Players at the Coffee House in December. Tommy Thompson, who was recently seen in Durham Theatre Guild's production of "Between Two Thieves," will direct the play. A trio of characters, a young lady and two New York playboys "play the same, old game of swapsy with platonic overtones." Appearing in the cast are: Peggy Jones as Regina; Charles Hoye of Duke University as Blake, and James Bollinger, a Wesley Player, as Dale. Each new play at the Triangle Coffee House runs for three per formances on a Sunday-Wednesday-Sunday schedule, with per formances at 9:30 each evening. A new art show, featuring a paint er of the Triangle community, goes up each month. Mrs. Zada Miller, also of Durham, is now showing a selection of her paint ings through April 2. Diversified entertainment . by comedians, folk and topical sing ers and musicians is presented each Friday and Saturday evening. Gag General Assembly, prohibits known Communists or persons who have taken the Fifth Amend ment in loyalty investigations from speaking on State-supported campuses. Mr. Crew said, "Repeal of this law will not be as simple as some might think. It is a diffi cult matter to explain academic freedom and freedom of the mind to many people through out North Carolina . . Senator, who prefaced his pre- The Roanoke Rapids State pared remarks by saying that he was speaking on -his own and not in his capacity as State Demo cratic chieftain, also praised Town officials for their handling of recent racial demonstrations. Mr. Crew said, "I know those people who introduced this bill (the Gag Law) in the General Assembly; they are men of good faith and they believe in higher education, but tley and other members of the General As sembly were living in a world of fear. "I hasten to say that it is my firm belief that, if this bill had been given the proper considera tion with the usual committee meetings, it would never have passed the General Assembly. I. was the first member of the Senate to oppose this bill, and I must admit I arose with some reluctance. I realized that the public in general would feel that any person who opposed the bill would be labeled as friendly to communism . . .1 do not fear communism nearly so much as I fear the ultimate consequences of tyranny of man's mind, and shackles that might be placed upon the voices and minds of Americans. $2,800 Is Collected For Police Fund Chapel Hill Town Manager Robert Peck announced yester day that over . $2,800 has been collected to date for the Chapel Hill Police fund. The money is to be divided equally among the men of the town's police force as compensa tion for the extra work involved in controlling racial demonstra tions, here, Peck said. The largest donation has been from the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Chamber of Commerce which pledged $2,000 to the fund early in the drive. Local service stations agreed to donate two cents for every gal lon of gasoline sold during Thursday of this week. Peck said that no time limit will be placed on the effort 'Look? Cites UNC Jumper In Top Ten By JOHN MONTAGUE Billy "The Kid" Cunningham who thrilled thousands with his spec tacular play in the ACC Tourna ment Thursday and Friday, has been named to the 1963-64 Look All America team it was an nounced yesterday. The March 24th isue of the magazine, which came on the newsstands Saturday, lists UNC's Billy along with nine others as the cream of the crop for this basketball season. It is the first official All-America recognition for the junior from Brooklyn who has made the honorable mention list of every dream team an nounced so far. The Kid, who at 6-6 is known for his ability to out-jump play ers four and five inches taller, led the ACC in scoring this sea son with a 26.0 average. He also was No. 1 in rebounds with a 15.8 average and finished with a 44.3 shooting percentage. Joining Cunningham on the team are: Gary Bradds (Ohio State senior), Bill Bradley (Princeton junior), Mel Counts (Oregon State senior), Walt Haz zard (UCLA), Bud Koper (Okla homa City senior), Jeff Mull ins (Duke senior), Cotton Nash (Ken tucky senior), Dave Stallworth (Wichita junior) and Cazzie Rus sell (Michigan sophomore). One significant aspect of the ten-man team is that Cunning ham is Jthe only player named who plays neither for a national ly top-ranked team or for - a team in the NCAA Tournament. Billy, like many other Tar Heel basketball greats, came to Chapel Hill from the greater New York area through the re cruiting of Frank McGuire, who coached at UNC from 1952 to 1961. He graduated from Eras mus High School (Brooklyn) in January 1961, and played for the Carolina freshmen during the first semester of the 1961-62 sea son. While Billy played, the Tar Babies were unbeaten in ten games. Last season, as a soph, the heralded Cunningham led the varsity to a 15-6 record, aver aged 22.7 points a game and shattered fellow Brooklynite Doug Moe's school rebounding mark with a 16.1 per-game performance off the boards. Top single game performances for The Kid came against Mary land in Woollen Gym on the night of January 13 of this year, when he scored 40 points and hauled down 28 rebounds. Hie latter is a single-game UNC mark. In both seasons, Cunningham has been a unanimous selection to the All-Atlantic Coast Confer ence team. And in two seasons Billy has scored 1100 points and gotten 718 rebounds. ytA tm H ' . - t -' A 111 k rt, . ,t " 1 j ( 1 ,'i ' 7t7 ; " l ry J J - "- fjA V y o n S' I , . .

The program, sponsored by The Institute of Government and Student Government, began with an ' address by George Esser, executive director of the North Carolina Fund. Esser said public service in the nation does not have a good image, and state and local gov ernments in particular are not doing much to combat miscon ceptions. Citing the need for more quali fied young people in government, Esser said government partner ship in a complex society is needed more than ever. "North Carolina is falling be hind," Esser said. "Our gravest problem is a wrong industry mix. " "One-fourth to one-third of the total people in North Carolina lack the necessary education to compete in an urban society," he said. "Fifty per cent of our population never finishes high school." Esser maintained that equal educational opportunity was not enough, as various environmental factors lead to discouragement among the underprivileged. "The best minds in the state are needed for public service," Esser said. He cited four qualifi cations of a good public service officer: "A good public servant must be competent, but, more impor tant than competence, he must be creative. "He must be committed in his career to the welfare of the people of North Carolina," Esser said. "He must also have the courage to push ahead towards his objectives. "A career in public service is no easy life," he said, "but there is no greater opportunity for achievement than here." . Esser's introductory- speech was followed by comments from Joel Fleishman, legal assistant to Governor Sanford. Fleishman cited the efforts of the present state government to combat poverty and described some of the programs sponsored by the North Carolina Fund. Fleishman called for the type of enthusiasm here that is pres ent in the Peace Corps and spoke of state government's need for college graduates. "A society is only as good as its leaders," Fleishman added. Assistant Director of the In stitute of Government George Lewis gave a description of the emergency of county govern ment. Although the county unit is almost directly under the con trol of the state government, Lewis said counties are current ly assuming municipal - type powers formerly exclusive to ur ban areas. "County administrative and technical jobs have increased 100 per cent in the past twelve years," he said. "County jobs are expected to increase 110 per cent within the next ten years." Lewis also stressed the need for qualified persons to fill this need.

Judge Raymond Mallard order ed Professor Wynn to appear in court tomorrow at 10 p.m. to show cause why he should not be held in contempt of court for "contemptuously and insolently reading a rewspaper in the court room" during the trial. Witnesses in the courtroom at the time said that the jury had been out for an hour when Wynn picked up his newspaper. People were talking in low voices at the time, they said. They were await ing the return of the jury and no proceedings were going on. The lunch recess was called 15 min utes later. When last week's special ses sion of Orange Superior Court convened. Judge Mallard issued orders against reading and talk ing in court, and posted deputies around the courtroom to bring before the bench anyone found violating the instructions. Several persons were brought before the bench last week for reading while court was in session. The contempt citation came several hours before the jury "returned at "10:32 p.m.' to an- r nounce it had not agreed upon a verdict. It was the second time during its deliberations, which lasted exactly eight hours, that the jury announced it was dead locked 11-1. Foreman D. P.

Approximately 250 persons were on hand to watch big kites, little kites, pretty kites, and kites that weren't kites compete more fierce ly against the calm than against each other. Wiley Ritter of 233A Jackson Circle managed to fly his kite to a respectable flight despite the lack of wind, and walked off with the first prize in the distance category. Ritter won only after a techni cal ruling by the judges, who said an entry by the Tar Pit (Craige Hall's humor magazine) was not a kite. The Tar Pit, which flew a conglomeration of tissue paper and helium-filled balloons, was awarded a prize for the most un usual entry. Joe Ward was the only double winner, taking first place in the largest kite division (10 feet) and second in the smallest kite category (wit ha different kite). First prize for the smallest kite was awarded to Larry Kodak of Winston Hall after some care ful measuring by the judges. Andy Bobroff of Winston finished third. Mike Livesay's butterfly kite won the most beautiful prize, while Alpha Delta Pi sorority copped second place. "Mother," an entry of Pi Kappa Phi frater nity, was a reluctant third. Judge Gary Eden, WKIX disc jockey, was unsuccessful in his Religious Prints Shoivn At Duke An exhibition of about 50 modern religious prints by in ternationally famous artists is now on display at Duke Unher sity. The prints are mostly from the New York Museum of Modern Art and depict scenes of Biblical and non-Biblical events with the majority of the prints portraying incidents from the Old Testa ment. The various movements in the art world from naturalism to ab stract expressionism are repre sented by artists such as Salvo dor Dali, Emile Bernard, Roualt and Kanamori. Also on display are examples of wood-cuts, etch ings and lithographs. The exhibit is open daily, in cluding Sundays, from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. through March 22. There is no admission charge. i ": if i n Ti , 17 "tarn Photo by Jim Wallace attempt to create enough breeze to fly kites, but agreed that it was a success. Hugh Stevens, DTH Kite Editor, said, "I want to express our ap preciation to all those who flew, or tried to fly, kites. It was most gratifying to see the many en tries, and we wil certainly con sider this a high point of the year." He also thanked the merchants' who donated prizes for the event, and reminded winners that they can pick up certificates Monday at the DTH offices in Graham Memoria1 New Medical Center For Charlotte? "North Carolina needs an other medical center and Char lotte is a good place for it," Dr. Robert A. Ross of the Medi cal School faculty said Friday at the opening session of the southeastern convention of the pre-medical fraternity, Alpha Epsilon Delta, meeting in Chapel Hill through March 8. Dr. Ross, head of the De partment of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University School of Medicine here, taJked to the students from a dozen southern states on careers iri medicine. . The populous Charlotte area and opportunities for medical practice, and the likelihood that an undergraduate unit of the University of North Carolina Hiu be established in Char lotte," said Dr. Ross, "make it logical that ultimately a new medical s.chool will be estab lished in Charlotte." Columbia, S. C. also is an area most likely to have the need for a new medical school in the upper south region, but Charlotte is even better as an area, in the immediate future, Dr. Ross said. Ron Joyncr, a student here, is chairman of the meeting here this weekend, as president of the local chapter of Alpha Ep silon Delta. Dr. Ross spoke on the his tory of medical development in the South since the Civil War. Three awards were presented Friday for the "best chapter report." UNC was first, fol lowed by Millsaps College in Mississippi, and Auburn Uni versity in Alabama. High
