' .. iili SUN After seemingly weeks weather, the sun was out in full afternoon and the gang in the SPU Literature Spread Stopped; Littering Cited An apparent misunderstanding of rules governing solicitation on campus resulted Saturday in a controversy involving the Student Diver Tells Of Searches For Treasure By P. W. CARLTON Four years of research on the bottom of the Aegean Sea was the topic ot a speecn to tne at cheological Society here Friday night by Dr. George Bass of the University of Pennsylvania. Bass and a team of experts from Pennsylvania have spent the last four summers searching sunken wrecks off the southwest ern coast of Turkey. The wrecks were first brought to Dr. Bass attention while he was a graduate student at Penn. when he volunteered to repre sent the University in exploring these interesting finds. "I took a course in scuba div ing at the YMCA, and when I arrived in Turkey I'd never been deeper than ten feet," reported Bass. This didn't last long, however. During the first diving season, Bass and associates worked in - 90 feet of water on a 3000-year-old wooden wreck located north west of Antalya. . 2 The divers, using aqua lungs and ordinary archeologists' tools, were able to bring up numerous artifacts, including bronze ingots, evidence of tin ingots in the form cf tin oxide paste, various an cient tools, a well - preserved piece of wicker basket, frag tnents of wood and a quantity of crockery, plus some earthen lamps and the captain's business seal. By "employing some scientific . detection techniques, Dr. Bass determined that the ship was carrying scrap metal, much of it in the form of broken tools. Bass concluded that the ship master probably traded old tools for new, since the equipment for manufacturing new hardware was dredged up during the op eration. He concluded that this ship was of Venetian origin and that it was trading along the coast of Asia Minor before the time set by archeologists for the begin nings of such trade. Thus, Bass' findings will cause significant changes, in future archeological texts. At the end of two summers' work, Bass moved north to Bod rum, the modern name for an: JJJI, XiCl-J VtU Jk ilAO Lilian he dived on a Byzantine Roman ship, which dated from the early seventh century. This ship was in 120 feet of water. On it were discovered ' . several hundred amphorae jars for carrying oil or wine. These jars literally covered the ship's deck, giving some clues as to the shape of the hull. This wooden ship, approximate ly 65 feet in length,, contained numerous coins and several early Christian artifacts, of monsoon type force yesterday lower quad was out soaking up cool drinks and Peace Union, Campus Police Chief A. J. Beaumont, Chancel lor William B. Aycock, the YMCA, Student Body President Mike Lawler, and Superintend ent of Grounds John Bennett. The controversy arose when Beaumont ordered Rick Doble, a member of the. executive com mittee of the local chapter of the SPU, to stop distributing lit erature in Y-Court. The litera ture advertised a panel discus sion today in Gerrard Hall. Bennett said that the SPU, a pacifist organization, did not have the right to distribute "pure propaganda" because it would litter the area and that the group did not have permission from University Business Manager J. A. Branch. Beaumont backed him up and ordered Doble to leave, citing the "poor taste" of two posters used to attract attention. One poster showed a popular cartoon char acter saying "What, Me Worry?" and the other advertised the lit erature being distributed, a Bibliography supplementing the one distributed by the Carolina Symposium. Lou Calhoun, spokesman for the SPU, said yesterday that he would be "distributing literature in Lenicr Hall at 11:45 a.m. Sunday whether or not they want to arrest me". When Cal houn's statement was repeated to Beaumont yesterday, he only commented, "I'm a Christian. I don't work on Sunday." Student Body President Mike Lawler notified Chancellor Ay cock yesterday afternoon, and the Chancellor gave his approval for the SPU to distribute the literature, and said he would confer with them further Mon day. "The Student Peace Unon is a recognized campus organiza tion," said YMCA secretary Ann Queen yesterday. "They have every right to distribute this literature, and to my knowledge very few groups have bothered to ask for permission before setting up booths in the Y Building or in Y-Court." Bennett could not be reached for comment. Preyer Rally Transport Free transportation will be provided for students wishing to attend the students for Preyer Rally in Raleigh Saturday, April 18.

Kansas U Removes Cigaret Machines LAWRENCE, Kan. (CPS) The Board of Regents of the University of Kansas has voted to remove all cigarette machines from all state-supported cam puses in Kansas. The order came after a re port by Dr. C. Frederick Kittle, associate professor of surgery at the Kansas University Medi cine. "I could certainly urge that cigarette sales be banned on the state university campuses," Kit tle told the Board. The order, which passed the Board of Regents unanimously, will become effective April 15. "I probably need not remind you that no other non-medical university or college of which I am aware has banned cigarette sales and certainly no other state has taken such action," Kittle said. The effect of the order on KU was explained by Raymond Nichols, vice-chancellor of fin ance. "There will be no cigarettes sold on the University campus or property," Nichols said. This included vending machines and across-the counter sales in the Kansas Union. Secific plans for following the Board of Regents decision have not yet been made. Statement by University Party Floor Leader Don Carson Last Thursday night's resolu tion which would have submitted the issue of the student boycott to the campus in a referendum was proposed to the Student Leg islature by UP Legislator George Ingram. We asked that this reso lution receive immediate consid eration in order to have the boy cott question on Tuesday's elec tion ballot. The resolution calling for the referendum was the result of an overwhelming desire on the part of the supporters and opponents of the boycott to have an oppor tunity to express their viewpoint. During the past two weeks I have visited and talked with hun dreds of students. Some sup port President Lawler and the boycott. Many others do not. Almost all desire the opportunity to express their viewpoints. Many Carolina students object, as we do, to the manner in which President Lawler has handled the issue of civil rights. The most frequent objection is that Lawler urged a student boycott with no prior consultation or discussion with the student body. The obvious and democratic course of action would be to hold a student referendum on this is sue. The new President of the., Student Body could have then used this referendum in repre senting the student body. The introduction of this resolu tion has been called a "political stunt" by Student Party leaders. They have asked why it was introduced Thursday night, and why its introduction was not re vealed in advance. First, the timing of the pro posal is very simple. The leg islature would have had to act Thursday night in order to have this issue on Tuesday's ballot. The introduction of the resolu tion was not revealed for two reasons: (1) Student Party leaders obviously would have gone to great lengths to prevent' Ban Stands Taken Four state political leaders of both parties have taken a stand on the Speaker Ban Law. Democratic candidate for Gov ernor I. Beverly Lake upheld the right of private colleges to invite Communists to speak before their students, but said public institu tions should not be able to in vite them. "The people of North Carolina should not be taxed to provide a platform for known Communists or persons pleading the Fifth Amendment," he said. Republican gubernatorial can didate Robert Gavin told women's club in New Hanover County he he felt the ban should be lifted and replaced with something similar to the Smith Act. "I am against thought control," he said. Democratic candidate Bozo Burleson has advocated the law's repeal, saying he felt the matter should be handled by college presidents. Those for the law's repeal are tor Charles Strong. "Sale of cigarettes will be ban ned from cigarette machines located in university buildings and residence halls, and in the union," L. C. Woodruff, dean of students, said. "We have no immediate jurisdiction over the fraternity and sorority houses." The -reaction was very fami liar on the part of Kansas stu dents. "The rule won't effect those who don't smoke, and will an noy those who do, but won't stop them," said one student. "Students will only go off cam pus and buy cigarettes by the carton," another student quip ped. "It won't result in cutting down on the number of students smoking." A committee had been ap pointed earlier in the year to look into the problem of smoking on the KU campus. "The object of the committee was not to ban smoking, but to question whether the university should facilitate smoking by pro viding cigarette machines on the campus," James R. Surface, vice-chancellor of the university, said at the time the committee was appointed. Dean Woodruff said he felt that the findings of the com mittee may have influenced the Board of Regents decision. this issue from being considered at the present time, including boycotting Thursday's session to prevent a quorum. (2) It was hoped that, if the members of the Student Party were compel led to consider the merits of holding this referendum, they would allow the referendum to take place. I believe this justi fies the somewhat unusual, but clearly legal procedures which were used Thursday night. It should be pointed out that President Lawler gave no prior notice of his intention to call for a student boycott. It is un'ortunate that there was net sufficient support in the Student Legislature to allow this issue to ccme before the Student iBody. I sincerely hope that the new Legislature to be elected Tuesday will support such referendurns. Spearman (UP) I strongly favor the use of campus wide referendurns, such as the one introduced in the Stu dent Legislature Thursday night, to determine the opinion of the campus on civil rights and other controversial issues. If I should be elected Student Body Presi dent, I would utilize such refer endurns in representing the Stu dent Body, and I would not mis represent them. The only previous time that the issue of a referendum has arisen was in Ehringhaus Resi dence Hall on Wednesday, April 8th. At this time a member of the audience asked me whether I favored a referendum on the Student Legislature's resolution which urged a boycott of the segregated establishments in the Chapel Hill area. I said that I did not favor such a referen- - dum because it was impossible and would make no sense. I said that in the resolution the legislature urged each student to boycott segregated establish ments. Thus it would be impos sible for the students to vote that the legislature did urge a certain action, fcr in fact they did urge it. In fact it is pos sible to hold a rererendum on any act of the Student Legisla ture (which appropriates money or establishes a committee) but it is impossible to have a refer endum on a resolution (which merely states the opinion of the legislature.) The proposed referendum was not a referendum on the resolu tion, which would make no more sense now than it did on April 8th. The referendum on the reso lution on the boycott would have given each student a chance to express his opinion on the issue of i a boycott of segregated es tablishments. This is why I supprt it. Personally, as I stated in the Daily Tar Heel, I will lend my support only to those business establishments in Chapel Hill which will serve all my fellow students. I encourage other students to join with me in this action. However, I would ask each of them to consider this question himself and make a personal decision as to whether he will join with me. As for the question of a public accommodations law, this is irrelevant in the election of a Student Body President. The President has no vote on the town Board of Aldermen nor in the United States Senate. Per sonally I would favor such a law, but I would not use my position as Student Body Presi dent to force its passage, nor would I misrepresent the stu dent body on this issue, s Bob Spearman UP Candidate for President Johnson WASHINGTON (UPD Presi dent Johnson today welcomed recent conciliatory remarks by Soviet Premier Nikita Khrush chev and announced the Kremlin chief had withdrawn substantial numbers of Soviet troops from Cuba in the past few months. The President told a news con ference he was glad to see that Khrushchev, who had words of praise this week for the U. S. President, was "playing the role of peace and is seeking to pre serve peace in the world." John son then said, "that is certainly the desire of our country." The President was unable to EDITORS' NOTE Due to the political im II plications of the boycott- referendum debate in Stu :. dent Legislature last Thursday night, we have J requested the floor leaders of both parties to describe what happened as they ' saw it. Because the matter bears so pertinently on the elec tions Tuesday, we have al s so requested both Presi ", dential candidates to sub mit statements of their - :' positions on the civil rights issue generally. All four statements have St been printed exactly as '- they were turned in to us. ; The Daily Tar Heel is do- ing this in the interests of ' complete fairness to every- one involved, including the Student Body. (S) Gary Blanchard Dave Ethridge Dickson (SP) I would like to make my stand clear on Civil Rights because I feel the electorate has' a right to know how I feel on this ques tion before they vote. Briefly, here is my stand: I favor a campus-wide ref erendum on the question of Civil Rights. I stated this in the first dormitory meeting on April 1st in Grimes Residence Hall. I personally will not patron ize those establishments that do not serve my fellow students and will ask others to do the same. However, I would ask that they make a personal decision about . whether they wish to join me in this action. I would not take a stand as the Student Body Executive stat ing that I represented the stu dents' feeling on Civil Rights. I do NOT favor a Public Ac commodations Law either locally or nationally because I feel that civil liberties should be attained through personal action and NOT through legislation by the Feder al or local governments. One of the main points now is not the boycott, but whether students will be willing to patron ize those businesses that have been segregated in the past and change to a de-segregated policy. This should be. implemented in the campus - wide referendum along with the boycott question. I do not favor civil disobedi ence since I feel it is wrong to break laws. It may be a cliche, but I think the old phrase, "Gov ernment of laws, not men," is sound. Civil disobedience does nothing but create an atmos phere of increased tension and hatred. (S) Paul Dickson SP Candidate for President 'Braggart Soldier' Auditions Slated The Carolina Playmakers have announced that auditions for their next major produc tion of the season, Plautus "The Braggart Soldier," will be held April 13, at 4 and 7:30 p.m. at the Forest Theatre. Professor Kai Jurgensen of the Playmakers staff will cast seven major male roles and four major roles for women. There will be a number of smaller roles available in crowd scenes. Scripts are now available from the Reserve Reading Room at the University li brary and from the Dramatic Art Office, 307 Bynum. Welco say exactly how many Soviet troops had been moved out of Cuba in recent months. Explain ing that he doubted anyone real ly knew. But he did say, with some emphasis, that the Russian soldiers have "really moved." "There are fewer than months ago," he said. "The number has declined substantially." Imposing Solution At his impromptu news gath ering, the President also: Emphasized that he was not trying to impose a solution in the railroad strike threat, and called White House - sponsored negotiations collective bargain Statement by Student Party What happened in Student Leg islature last Thursday? That's what 100 of the SP, and all but three of the UP legislators were asking after the session ended. The Student Party legislators are not against a referendum on civil rights. Here are the facts of the fiasco which occurred in Legislature Thursday night: 1. In a dorm meeting at Ehr inghaus Wednesday night, over seventy-five persons heard Bob Spearman say that he did not favor a referendum on the boy cott. 2. Immediately prior to Legis lature Thursday night I discuss ed with Mr. Spearman a proce dure whereby Legislature could dispose of one necessary piece of legislation and then recess in time for the Legislators to at tend Symposium. Mr. Spearman agreed but suggested that I go over to Memorial Hall to see if Mr. George Ball, the speaker for that night had arrived he had heard that Mr. Ball had an ac cident. I sent someone else in stead. 3. Immediately after the roll call, a motion was made by a UP legislator to suspend the rules in order to immediately consider a resolution calling for a referendum in Tuesday's elec tion on the student boycott. 4. This move came as a com plete surprise to all SP legisla tors and all but a few UP legis lators. Because of Mr. Spear man's earlier agreement with me on the agenda and his nega tive response to the question on such a referendum the night be fore, I was especially shocked at the motion and the actions of Bob which followed. 5. Bob Spearman, Speaker of Student Legislature, immediate ly left the chair and yielded it to a UP legislator, by-passing Arthur Hays (SP) the . Speaker Pro-Tempore, who normally as sumes the chair. Objections to this unusual procedure were ig nored.

Asked whether he was considering anti-strike legisla tion, he said: "I am not here to bury collective bargaining 1 am here to preserve it." Announced that Gen. Earle G. Wheeler, Army chief cf staff, will join Secretary of State Dean Rusk in Saigon next Friday for two days of talks with U. S. Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge and Vietnamese officials on the war against Communist guerril las. Of Lodge, the President said the GOP presidential possibility was doing a good job in his dip lomatic post and he expected him Floorleader Phil Baddour 6. Robert's "Rules of Order' (page 84) states that a motion to suspend the rules is not de batable. This was pointed out to the UP legislator in the chair. But with proper coaching from .UP floorleader Carson, the chair allowed Mr. Spearman to assume the rostrum and debate the reso lution. (A motion to overrule the chair on this matter was de feated by a UP-bloc vot,e.) 7. The motion to suspend the rules, which requires a vote, was defeated and the resolution was not considered. 8. After comments by myself, Don Carson took the floor to de liver an attack against Paul Dickson, SP Presidential can didate. If Mr. Spearman is sincere in his desire to have this question put before the Student Body, then he should have introduced it several weeks ago. Then, it would have been possible for the I .legislature to consider the word ing and form and instruct the Elections Board accordingly. However, this was not done. (How could it have been since Spear man spoke AGAINST such a ref erendum the night before.) Stu dents in North Carolina know what can happen when legislation is hastily considered. (Witness the passage of the Speaker Ban). The Student Party wants no part of this mockery of the legislative process. The whole purpose of the UP move was to put the SP in a position where a vote either way would help the UP cam paign. I am indeed disappointed in Bob Spearman and Don Carson's action, disappointed in what price they would pay to win at the polls. Law Students For Preyer Robert G. Baynes, third-year UNC law student, has been nam ed chairman of Law Students for Preyer at UNC at Chapel Hill, the campaign headquarters of gubernatorial candidate L.

This was in reply to a re porter who asked how he felt about Wallace getting 25 per cent of the vote.
