Founded Feb. 23, 1893 Under Panel Agrees Military Costs Hurt Country Sen. McGovern, Dr. Yarmolinshy Tell Symposium By KERRY SIPE f- "Far from strengthening us, an ; excess military outlay weakens ; the country and weakens the econ omy," said Senator George Mc Govern yesterday in a Carolina Symposium Panel discussion en titled "Are We Psychologically Prepared For Peace?" Featured with the recently elect- : e1 Democratic Senator from South Dakota was Dr. Adam Yarmolin sky, former special assistant to the Secretary of Defense. Yarmolinsky, presently connect ed with the President's Special Poverty Program, agreed that i "there is no point in spending $50 million a year to protect se : curity unless non-military projects ' at home make that security worth ; protecting." j Money currently being spent on I military defense should be di j verted to other internal needs 1 such as the Johnson poverty pro ; gram, said McGovern. "Both sides of the Iron Cur tain have already stockpiled enough bombs and missiles to de stroy the world several times ' over, he said. "Of ; course we must maintain defense forces, but if we are to meet the equally im portant demands of projects at home, we must use our money jnore wisely." McGovern said that the military gap that once exisited between the United States .and Russia has been closed for several years. "It is time we took our em phasis from the military and plac ed it on those problems closer to home," he said. Yarmolinsky disagreed that the defense program had grown much larger than it needed to be. "We're not adding overkill," he said. "We're merely replacing out-dated, unreliable weapons wiht newer, modern, more de pendable ones." On the cold war, McGovern said, "We are neglecting certain aspects of the international con test that cannot be -won in the military arena. "Khrushchev seeks to bury us, not on the battlefield, but on ideological and moral playing grounds. We must be willing to lead this battle into a field where we can show our greatest and most effective power," he said. "A nation's security may well be shrinking even as its arms in crease." CONCERNED CITIZENS The Committee of Concerned Citizens will meet in the Com munity Church tonight at 8 o'clock to hold a workshop on the Washington lobby project. A team will be sent to Wash ington to present arguments to North Carolina's Senators why the civil rights bill now before the Senate should be passed. iffforts Editor's Note: Cecilia Garjardo of Chile is attending UNC this year on the Foreign Student Lead ership Project of the National Stu dent Association.

Photo by Jim Wallace o By CECELIA GAJARDO As a Chilean student attending this University, I have been plea santly surprised by the interest shown by many American stu dents in our problems. One of the groups on campus, The Stray Greeks, has shown such a special interest that its members have even decided to participate in one of our major projects a literacy campaign. One of the worst Latin American diseases is illiteracy. Unfortunate ly my country is not an excep tion and still 20 per cent illiterate. This cold number has a much deeper, meaning when we think " -y - kv t; - J' 1 1 r - ' :-J 1 : v "y ' ' & b " - - ' lt I j : f' -s -:r-S-:-:-:-: :-x-?:-:-:-: :-:-:-:-;-:-:o.:-: ; V. fi a: 'C- Z ji ' ' - 5 i V J 3 x' ' i George f if 1 Photo by Jim Wallace Adam Yarmolinsky tended the seminar sessions this year.

Court Fines Man A textile worker from Gold Hill paid a $50 fine and costs of court for hitting a UNC student at the scene of the recent fast at the Chapel Hill Post Office March 28. Judge William S. Stewart of the Chapel Hill Recorder's Court levied the penalty against Mil ford Cordell Hill, who was found guilty of striking and knocking off the glasses of Shelby senior Louis S.

My country has an amazing shortage of schools which prevents about 500,000 children from en tering school every year. These chlidren, usually belonging to poor families, are absolute illiter ates.

In the first case, a student had stolen several sets of keys from the library at different times to have duplicates made. He then returned the keys unnoticed. He used the keys to get into various seminar rooms and the stacks to find a quiet place to study. He did not allow anyone else to use the keys and did not use them to steal anything from the library. He was apprehended by Campus Police Chief Arthur J. Beaumont who had been looking for sus pects in several thefts at the lib rary this year. The defendant cooperated after being caught and pleaded guilty. The Council sentenced him to two semester definite probation. In the second case, a student was charged with lying when he represented a friend as being his aunt so that he might buy a car. His "aunt" signed the sales slip for him since he was under age. The defendant pleaded guilty and was sentenced to official reprimand. The same student had also been charged with stealing small amounts of food from his place of employment. The case was post poned, until next week to hear more witnesses. get Is $184,000, Hays Reports ah increase ot $8,700 over last year's student budget will bring the new budget's total to $184,000, according to Arthur Hays, chairman of the Student Legislature Finance Commit tee.

This is the reason why we stu dents, who have had the great privilege to get an education, feel that our debt to the rest of our people is great Although students had always been aware of this debt, not many concrete steps had been taken to diminish it. This general apathy changed into full activity when a liter acy campaign was started for mally in March 1963. On every campus, students from different fields were trained in special courses in teaching adults to sir 1964 Symposium George Ball At Mock x 4 FRANK CHURCH Powder :-"-5t-ys 0, v A if ft 4- read and write. Essentially the purpose of the campaign is to fight illiteracy. But this aspect cf education is so closely connected with others that this project is actually one of fundamental education. It in cludes practical courses such as seinwg carpentry, hygiene and also a complete program of recreational activities. ' While students were being trained, an intense propaganda campaign took place in the slums to encourage adults to participate with students in this common effort. Living conditions in these slums have -sunk to such incredible levels of poverty that Sen 1 M Trade9 Ends The 1 964 Carolina Symposium Church Is Top Convention Mere Senator Frank Church, Demo crat from Idaho and the keynote speaker and temporary chair man of the 1960 Democratic Na tional Convention, will be a fea tured speaker at the UNC bi partisan Mock Political Conven f, tion April 17. ., ( .

Unless it rains, which never happens in Chapel Hill, the long awaited battle will take place at 3 p.m. in Kenan Stadium. Harrison Merrill, who claims he hates rain, is busy thinking up strategy to fool the referee who happens to be his political opponent, Paul Chused. The two Billys, Galantai and Cunning ham, on the other hand, are said to be more concerned with get ting the phone numbers of their players. Despite the long layoff for spring vacation and monsoons, both coaching staffs say they are amazed at the girls' great physic al condition. Billy Galantai says it is unbelievable.

Classes dealing with other as pects are given in the form of lectures to bigger groups. The recreational programs are held in the street. No vehicle can in terrupt these performances be cause these slums are usually built on hills, so streets are only foot paths. The first part of the campaign has already been completed and The Weather Sunny and mild Press International Service em Reorient Policies, Ball Says By JOHN GREENBACKER "We have talked enough about the structural relations between the world's industrial nations and those nations wtiich have in 20 years passed from colonialism to independence," Under secretary of State George Ball said last night in Memorial Hall. Calling for a continuation of the open trade policy on an interna tional level, Ball said, "The crea tion of 43 new nations has caused a complete reoperation of our foreign policy." Ball, who recently returned from an international trade con ference of the United Nations in Geneva, called undeveloped na tions, "pervaded with a sense of urgency and impatience. "What unites them," he said, "is a common bond ot poverty or an awareness of poverty. They form an amalgamation of re sentments." Citing the undeveloped nations frequent indifference to East- West relations, Ball said the North ern industrial nations must be gin "a redressing of advantages." Ball defined the two major trade systems in operation in the world today as being the Open System and the Closed System. "The Open System shows a con- cern of industrial nations for all countries." Ball said. "The Clos ed System establishes special dis criminatory arrangements be tween an industrial nation and selected states." Ball praised ; the United States' use of this open policy . in . the past, but criticized the Closed System used by some Western in dustrial nations todav. "Many Western nations have organized relations . for national interests," . he said. "Most unde veloped nations dread this 'Neo colonialism.' " Ball said that although our al lies have taken a larger resj5h sibiJity in foreign aid since their recovery from World War Two, the United States' responsibility is still great. Citing the United States' lead ing role in international affairs. Ball said, "We must seek a more equitable balance in trade and development." "We should prefer the indus trial nations bind together to aid undeveloped nations," he said. "It must be a wholeheared ef fort." After paraphrasing President Johnson on the advantage of the Open System, Ball predicted that soon relations between under developed nations and industrial nations wil be as important as East-West relations. Lecture Series Opens Dr. Justus Bier, director of the North Carolina Museum of Art, will open a bi-annual lecture se ries "The Arts in North Caro lina" at 8 p.m. today. Bier will lecture on "Early Book Art in the North Carolina Museum of Art." The lecture series is being1 sponsored bp Beta Phi Mu, hon orary fraternity of library sci ence at the University. we are very proud to be able to say that many Chilean adults will not feel the shame of being illiterates. For us, the students, to participate in it has been one of our most worthwhile exper iences, and we too have learned very much. The success already attained has encouraged new grcups of students to continue again this March. The fact that some of my fel low students here want to help us in this task has a beautiful meaning, and I publicly thank them in the name of my fellow students at home and my whole country. j
