" ACQUITTED DTII Co-editor Gary Blanch ard (right) chats with his attorney, Barry Win ston of Carrboro, shortly after his contempt case Daytona Gets Ready For Students City Manager Norman Hickey of Daytona Beach, Fla., has promised that entertainment for college students who flock to his city for spring vacation will not be left to their own dubious imaginations. The city recreation depart ment and the Junior Chamber of Commerce are reported diligent ly at work planning a well-rounded program to keep the scholar busy during his brief respite from the rigors of academic life. As the sun begins to loom higher in the sky, and the warm spring breezes begin to blow off of the ocean, an expected on slaught of 65,000 collegians will relax to such dramatically ac claimed attractions as Hank Slo manski, noted karate expert and formerly General MacArthur's personal bodyguard; Dr. John "Knocky" Parker and his jazz combo; the Ford Motor Com pany's "Folk and Jazz Wing ding"; and artist Howard Ellis, who will give a demonstration on how to paint a picture. Finance Committee OKs Quarterly $ The Student Legislature Fin ance Committee has made sug gestions to the editors of the Carolina Quarterly for restoring the Quarterly's budget appropria tions. Suggestions grew out of a hear ing Sunday of the Finance Com mittee and Quarterly staff called to discuss the Quarterly's fin ances and policies. The committee recommended that the Publications Board ap point a new editor for next year who will submit an itemized bud get report and statement of policy to the Finance Committee and will help edit the next issue. The committee also suggested that the Quarterly establish a full-time circulation staff and, at lOwenisteiii By GARY BLANCHARD Last of Three Articles To protect academic freedom, don't exer cise it. This, says N. C. State Professor Al Lowen stein. is the type of "nonsense-logic" being em ployed by well-meaning people Avho criticize students and professors for participating in so cial protest activities on the grounds that it may irritate the men who passed the Gag Law. Lowenstein, who is Currently under fire from powerful state conservatives for taking part in anti-segregation protests in Raleigh and Mississippi, says he "can't think of anything that would suit Sen. Stone's purpose ' better than following this kind of logic. "Then Stone wouldn't need the law. He'd have the University silenced without it." State Senator Clarence Stone presided in 5 "m , - - Residence College System Is Still A L )ream, Mot A. Reality By DAVID NORDAN The much talked about resi dence college program is still more of a dream than a reality, according to William G. Long, Dean of Men. He said life in the residence halls next year will be about the same except for the new rule requiring all freshmen to live on campus. An ad-hoc committee of numer ous faculty administration, and student representatives is being conducted at this time with hopes of bringing into the light some of the more "serious problems of residence hall life. But Dean Long emphasized the fact that no long range plans have been made. The talks have been going on for some time, but were made public only about two months ago. The proposed plan would pro bably result in: social activities centering upon specific residence areas and the pooling of financial resources. newspapers i o r specilic resi dence hall areas. officially changing the names of areas to specific residence college tempt to circulate its editions more widely on campus. Arthur Hays, chairman of the Finance Committee, said that the Quarterly's chances for receiving the withheld appropriations would "definitely improve with efforts to comply with these suggestions." The Editor of the Quarterly, Louis Bourne, was cooperative about the committee's recom mendations. He said the hearing suggested a "tone of optimism." Bourne called first for more student interest and participation in the Quarterly. Quarterly funds have been with held by Student Government Trea surer Dick Akers for the publica tion's failure to meet its schedule and to submit an itemized budget. f 1 f " 4' , Ji, ,J1 i was dismissed yesterday afternoon by Judge Raymond Mallard in Ilillsboro.

United States offered Wednes day to contribute up to $2 mil lion to send an international peace-keeping force to Cyprus. The State Department an nounced the U.S. offer, made to United Nations Secretary Gen eral U. Thant. The $2 million would go into a $6 million fund needed by U.N. Secretary General Thant to set up the peace force. The State Department said dispatch of the peace force which would not include U.S. troops has been delayed in part by shortage of funds. The State Department said it hoped most of the costs of the peace mission would 'be borne by countries contributing troops. It said it was "essential to move promptly to stop further need less loss of life" on Cyprus. "It is understood," the U.S. announcement said, "that a num ber of other nations are actively considering contributions to make up 'the balance." "By this contribution," the an nouncement said, "the U.S. is demonstrating its concern for peace and showing its friend ship for the peoples of Greece, Cyprus and Turkey. "It is a matter of great ur gency that the U.N. peacekeep ing force be established in Cy prus," the State Department said. "The United Nations must bring an end to the fighting, and through mediation find a permanent solution to this dan gerous problem." U.S. officials said the money will come from foreign aid con tingency funds. Hits the Senate over the hasty passage last summer of the law, which bans Communists from speak ing on state-supported campuses. Stone has been in the forefront of a recent move by conservative state elements to oust Lowenstein from his teaching position. "It's important to see what these people are up to," Lowenstein continued. "The Gag Law was designed to punish and intimidate the University. But it didn't have that effect be cause there are no Communists at the Univer sity. "Its total effect is to keep rc. . e one or. two Communists a year from speaking on any of the University's three campuses. So the men who got this law passed haven't silenced the people they hoped to. "But then, well-meaning people come along and try to do the job for tiem. "To those of us who are active in support of any controversial point of view they say, 'Oh, By JEFFREY DICK Contempt charges against Gary Blanchard, co-editor of the Daily Tar Heel, were dismissed yesterday by Judge Raymond Mallard in Orange County Su perior Court. Mallard dismissed the charges against Blanchard after a twenty-minute hearing, but not before admonishing Blanchard for his conduct. Mallard said that "al though the statement by Blanch ard in court was considered con temptuous, due to the fact that the respondent expressed his an swer to a question placed by an , officer of the court, and due to ; the denial of any intent to bring disrespect upon the court, and due to the apparent immaturity of the respondent, the court takes no further action and re- spondent is discharged." . The contempt hearing was call ed after Blanchard, testifying for the defense of Dr. William Wynn, stated to Solicitor Dick Cooper under cross-examination that "some of the restrictions impos ed to ensure the end of orderly justice," he felt to be nonsensic al. Blanchard said earlier, in re sponse to questioning, that he did not regard the court, itself, faculty advisors for the various residence halls or units. campus chaplains for the resi dence colleges. Dean Long stressed that at pre sent the ad-hoc committee is still in the stage of trying to define the problems of the present situa tion. "We are in the process of seeing if ther is a new approach or arrangement which might re sult in a more benificial, pleasant, creative experience; if the pro gram will contribute to the total education of the student." He said the program has a long way to go; there are "severe limita tions." Some of the problems under study are: ((1) limitations in social life, (2) limitations in soc ial facilities, (3) problems of space; here the dean brought out the little-known fact that the pre sent three-in-one situation used to be a four-in-one situation.

We'll never get the Gag Law repealed if you act in a fashion which irritates the people who passed it.' "And so, in the name ef defending academic freedom, these well-meaning people say don't exercise it. "But if we follow this line of reasoning, we end up abandoning academic freedom for the whole University community in the name of getting one law repealed which bans one or two Communists a year from speaking at the Uni versity. "I say these well-meaning people who criti cize faculty members and students from speak ing up and acting on social issues are helping to see our freedom wither. "It's easy to be against the Gag Law. It's much more important to be against the gag." to be "nonsense." Attorney Barry Winston con ducted the entire defense. Blan chard did not take the stand or speak to the judge during the entire hearing. Winston addressed the bench at the start of the hearing re questing that the charges against Blanchard be dismissed. "The charges should be dismissed," Winston said, "because the re spondent (Blanchard) had no in tention of disrespect" to the judge or the court. "The respondent," Winston con tinued, "stated, when asked by Wynn Guilty A jury that included two Ne groes today found a University of North Carolina associate pro fessor guilty of trespassing dur ing a Chapel Hill civil rights demonstration. The jury returned its verdict after 30 minutes of deliberation. It was the second trial for Prof. William Wynn.

The famed performer will pre sent a recital of Spanish folk music at p.m. in Memorial Hall. A guitarist from the age of eight, at which time his mother gave him his first instruction in playing the instrument, Montoya rapidly emerged as one of the foremost virtuosi of that instru ment in the world. Records and coast-to-coast per sonal appearances, as well as TV guest appearances have made Montoya a national cele brity, the man most largely re sponsible for the growing Fla menco following and interest throughout the country. The Spanish call him "gypsy on all four sides." Montoya says that to play real Flamenco, one must have some gypsy blood in him. Flamenco music cannot be written down because most of it is improvision. Montoya never plays a Flamenco piece the same way twice. "It becomes easier to impro vise as one plays," 'he says. "That is the secret of our music improvisation. And one must have the music in his heart be fore he can play it on the strings." Tickets are available at the GM Information desk for 50 cents with an ID card and $1 for dates. Loeic eelj eek i Hugh Stevens P Will CHusecLf The Student Party endorsed Fred Seely and Hugh Stevens for co-editors of the Daily Tar Heel Tuesday night after an hour-long floor battle over whether or not the party should endorse anyone at all. Paul Chused was chosen to head the party's slate for Se nior Class officers. Clay Moore will be the candidate for vice president, Kay Hoyle will run for secretary, Susan Powell seeks the office of treasurer, and Roxanne Kalb will run for social chairman. The party endorsed Neal Jack son, Bill Lucas, Karen Rawlings and Jim Bra me for National Student Association. The battle for endorsement of Seely and Stevens came when Arthur Hays moved that the party endorse no candidate. He cited a "feeling of obligation be tween the party and the editors which should not be the case in campus elections." Phil Baddour spoke for en dorsement, saying that the party should nominate qualified Cathey Announces Exchange Program An exchange program with the University of Puerto Rico in Rio Piedras was announced yes terday by Dean of Student Af fairs C.

Dick Ellis said that he felt that the editors of the paper "should be partisan if they re ceive our endorsement." Seely then spoke against this in response to a question by Bill Lucas as to their policy on par tisanship. "We will criticize those who should be criticized, and we will help those who should be helped." "If we are elected editors, we will run a newspaper, because we consider ourselves to be re sponsible newsmen. We will not stoop to the level of hack poli ticians running a Student Party rag." The vote on Hays' motion was defeated 43-10, and the vote for Seely and Stevens was near unanimous. Legislative candidates were considered last night. The names were not available by DTH deadline, and will be published in tomorrow's newspaper along with UP legislative candidates. pus Items Students now serving on the i International Students Board ! will help select the exchangee. ii mam Tri Delts Hold Spaghetti Dinner The Tri Deltas will hold their annual spaghetti supper on Mon day at the Tri Delta house, 210 Pittsboro Street.
