A number of students, merchants and local residents were queried on this topic on Franklin Street yesterday, and they came up with some ' interesting answers. Prevalent among the dislikes were the General College, lack of contact between student and in structor and the attitude of some Chapel Hill residents and merchants toward the students. Arthur Hays, senior from Franklin: "I don't like the attitudes a lot of merchants have toward students and the high prices they charge. They have a monopoly on business. I do, though, like the casual atmosphere." , - . Otto Reigh, sophomore from Charlotte: "Most of the required courses in the General College are a waste, and there . aren't enough girls on campus. I guess I enjoy springtime more than anything else." ' . " . . Paul. Russell, freshman from "York, Pal: "There are too many segregated establishments here, and there is almost no contact between in structors and students. The people here are nice, though, and the campus itself and the educational facilities here are very good." . Ken Hiller, grad student: "I can't think of anything that I particularly dislike. I like the conditions and facilities for grad students, espe cially the Chemistry department." Beaufort Lancaster, freshman from- Spindale: "The lack of availability of the teachers bothers -me more than anything else. You can't find them when you need to talk to them. I' don't like' the impersonality of the freshman advisers, " either. You're just a number here to them. I like the liberal atmosphere here, and the exposure to the political extremes, one way or another. There's Dr. Speers Given Child Psychosis Research Grant By DON ENGVALL Dr. Rex Speers, director of child psychology at the North Carolina Memorial Hospital, recently re ceived $50,793 for his research in new treatment methods of child hood psychosis. Dr. Speers has received grants over the past three years total ing approximately $160,000. A child who may be slow to talk and walk is often diagnosed as mentally retarded. Actually, as research shows, he may be emotionally disturbed. But even after diagnosis, treat ment of such children has always posed a problem to psychiatrists because of the great amount of time necessary for treatment and correction. Four years ago, Dr. Speers de veloped a plan of treating these children in groups. Since the ini tiation of the project, 15 children have been successfully treated, several times the number a single psychiatrist could have treated in a lifetime. The typical psychotic child prior to treatment is mute, and unable to communicate with pa rents or other children.. Further more, he is acutely anxious when separated from his mother and unusually sensitive to light, touch and sound. These children are not different mentally or physically from nor mal children, but their strange behavior sets them apart. For example, when a psychotic child feels a need for his mother, he may drag one leg, take off his shoes and socks, or slap his face. The causes of childhood psy chosis are clearly understood at this time. Study has suggested heredity may be an important factor. Undetected congenital de fects of the brain and nervous system is another possibility. Other studies indicate psycholog ical behavior of the mother may be a factor. "Our job is to constantly con front them with reality so we can alter the mistaken ideas about themselves and the external world," says Dr. Speers. One of the main features of his treatment is the small, box-like (Continued on Page 3)' Controversy Buists UNC dislike most about 1 fry v; :r: v.-:-.-.:-: :-:-:-.-:-: :-. f - I ' I ' if tS ' -" $ If bi ll jn V Vt i IT ' if I - J- y, - ' Blackicell (left ) .

It's a waste of time, and frankly I'm glad it isn't delivered to our apartment. The spring. weather is enjoyable, though." Doug Lester, junior from Greensboro: "The big classes and the General College are the worst things at UNC. And, being a BA major, I find - it hard to get a good job in such a small town as this.

But when I got my paper back, the grader marked me down for not being complete. See what I mean? There aren't enough parking spaces in town either, and I don't like the large classes. I do like the small-town atmosphere, though."

Convention Republicans March Out Friday Night By FRED SEELY And JEFF DICK Charges and counter-charges filled the air yesterday after a walkout by the GOP in the (Mock Political Convention Friday. The Republicans, charging "railroad" tactics, marched out of the Woollen Gym convention in protest of methods employed by Convention Chairman Buddy Schiff. Led by Charles Hooks, chairman of the Young Republi can Club, some 50 delegates left the gym. Hooks charged this morning, in a statement mimeographed and distributed throughout the campus, that the leadership of the (Mock Convention had violat ed procedure en at least six oc casions. He called upon Repub licans to boycott the meeting last night and attend a GOP gathering in Gerrard Hall. The flyer said- Joseph W. Harrison of the Republicn National Committee would address the meeting. Later in the day, Dave Sheps, co-chairman of the YM-YWCA Public Affairs Committee, spon sor of the event, said that legal action would be contemplated unless Harrison spoke at the Mock Convention. Most observers felt Hooks walkout was a political move. "He saw he was beaten in. the convention", one said, "and he did the best thing he couJi for his party he left." 0 Hooks based his walkout main ly en procedures in the conven tion. The major controversy a rose when Schiff asked for a motion to dispense with the read ing of each party's platform in order to speed up the session. He made this request after the body had finished considering the first plank of the platform Foreign Policy. Schiff said yesterday that it took some 55 minutes to com plete this section, and "we could not have completed the pending business in time if we did not figure some way to speed things up. Albin, Famed 1st Violinist, Plays Tonight The first violinist of the Au gusta String Quartet will present a petite musicale tonight at 8 p.m. in Graham Memorial Lounge on the UNC campus. Herbert Albin will play selec tions from the works of Dvorak, Genzmer and Schumann, ac companied by pianist Edward Bradberry. A student at the Academy of Music in Berlin, Germany, Al bin was director and conductor of the Symphonie-Orchestra of Freiberg from 1943 to 1947. He gave violin recitals in Germany, Spain, Netherlands, France, Mexico, and the United States. In 1950 he left the Russian Oc cupation Zone of Germany. "He commands a highly de veloped technique and his bow ing is under complete control, producing a large variation of dynamic expressions." He plays an original Guanerius violin. Tonight's program will be: Antonin Dvorak: Sonatina, op. 100; Harold Genzmer: Sonata No. 1; intermission; Robert Schumann: Sonata op. 105. NCC Instructor Talks At Gerrard Max Drake, sociology instruc tor at N.C.C. will talk on "So ciological Implications of the Nu clear Age" in the second of a series of lectures and discussions this afternoon at 3 o'clock in Gerrard Hall. Other topics to be considered in the coming weeks include "Political Realities of the Nu clear Age" and "Potential Al ternatives to the Nuclear Cold War." Open "Besides, everyone had a copy of both platforms, and there was really no need to bother with reading them." Hooks said he had difficulty in obtaining a Democratic plat form, and he "saw quite a few without them." Convention leaders said all platforms were passed out at the door, and "if people didn't have them it was their own fault." BULLETIN The Republican delegation which walked out of the Mock . Convention Friday night will "make every effort to negoti ate with the Democratic delega tion in an effort to straighten out the controversy which has arisen." Charles Hooks, head of the walkout, said last night that "every effort would be made to get the Convention back to nor mal and insure a good exercise into the political realities of to day." Hooks also attacked the Cre dentials Committee of, the Con vention for not having held a meeting. Committee chairman John Angell said yesterday he saw no need to hold a meeting because "everything was in order." -Hooks also charged that Carr Hall's delegation had never been approved. Carr he said, , was; not on the original list of delega tions and, no one had interview ed for the post of delegation chairman. "When . I saw Lane Brown leading a delegation, I was sur prised, to say the least," com mented Hooks.' Brown is chairman of the Young Democratic Club and a resident of Carr Hall. He is a law student. "Another reason for the walk out came when the convention, and especially the chairman, re fused to consider our preamble for the convention's platform," said Hooks. "I've never heard of a platform without a pre amble, and the Democrats had not prepared cne." Schiff said yesterday there was no rule which said a pre amble was needed. The convention finally adjourn ed at 1:30 p.m., after passing a platform almost identical to the one submitted by the Demo crats. "If the Republicans had stay ed, there is no question but that the platform would have been changed substantially," said Angell. "The vote cn my amend ment to delete the Public Ac aommoda Hons and Fair Em ployment Practices Commission sections from the bill was de feated 19-13, and the additional Republicans, who had adopted a conservative platform, would have been enough to change the vote." "Hooks didn't object to any thing until he saw he was beat en," said Schiff. "Then he tried to bring up everything he could find, including the rules of the convention, which had been passed unanimously."

If it is, Johnsca said, some of the money new being spent on military preparedness could be shifted to humanitarian pur poses. The Selective Service system was instituted in . 1940 before the entry of the United States into World War II. It was retained on a peacetime basis in 1943. The present law extends the draft until July 1, 1967. During the World War II draft, a total of 10,022,367 men were summoned. Since resuming in November 1943, the number of inductees through next month total 2,953 450. The highest monthly call in the peacetime draft was for 80, 000 in March and April of 1951. Recent draft call, have been run ning about 12,000 a month. The President told newsmen: "This study will consider alter natives to the present draft se lection system, including the possibility of , meeting our re quirements on en entirely volun tary basis in the next decade. "It is clear that at the pre sent time the obligation for mili tary service is essential for meeting our military - strengthen requirements,", the President said. But he added that "the pres ent law has been in effect for more than 15 years and a very comprehensive study of the sys tem is now indicated." ing "Welcome Mr. North Caro - lina Republican" and "Wel come Congressman Jonas." Jonas attacked President Johnson's equivocating stands on Civil Rights. He said, "In 1960, Johnson campaigned on a plat form supporting segregation while at the same time mining on a national platform which advocated integration." The North Carolina congress man said Gen. Curtis LeMay's reappointment by President Johnson as chief of staff of the Air Force was designed "to keep him quiet during the current campaign." It was Gen. LeMay who recently admitted the Rus sians were gainins cn the Uni ted States in military armaments.
