Eleven representatives of the

in Chapel Hill continued their
lobbying efforts in support of the
Civil Rights Bill yesterday with
a visit to the Washington of

to indicate that "not every white
Southerner is against the civil
rights bill." They said they did
not feel North Carolina Sena

KERRY SIPE
I, myself, had never even seen
the inside of a prison, so when
Jim Hess of Atlanta asked us if
we'd like to debate at' the Atlan
ta Federal Penitentiary, I had
mixed emotions about the whole
thing.
Bob Powell and I were repre
senting UNC at the West Point
Debate Regionals in Atlanta.
Hess, who was a public rela
tions man in the city, worked
voluntarily in the Penitentiary
Rehabilitations Program. Be
tween rounds, at the debate
tournament, he asked us if we'd
like to debate two of the Federal
prisoners.
We jumped at the chance.
The prison from the distance
looked like something from Eliot
Ness' Untouchables. It was built
around 1890, and the tall rock
towers were mossy with age.
. We stopped at the prison gate
and were searched from head to
foot. They took all sharp ob
jects away from us and emptied
our pockets, completely. At the
time, we thought it was rather
silly." We had to wait outside' for'
some time while our admission
was cleared through the War
den's Office. .
Even after they let -us in the
gate, an armed guard followed
us around at all times. You
would have thought we wanted
to steal the place.
Our guard followed us up some
stairs and into what looked like
a typical UNC classroom. We
almost felt at home until, we
glanced out the windows and saw
them barred and locked. Man,
they weren't out to take chances
at this place!
Guards led in the two men who
were to be our opponents. One
was in his 40's the other about
60. Both were serving life terms
for capital crimes.
Contrary to what I had expect
ed, both were very intelligent
and intellectually sharp.
They had done a great deal of
research on the - topic used by
collegiate debators all over the
nation, Federal Aid to Higher
Education. Both our opponents
had apparently spent a great
deal of time in the prison li
brary. They had some informa
tion on the subject that would
have stumped a lot of the best
teams we met at Atlanta.
What surprised me most, I
guess, was the - vigor that the

No sooner had Becker finished
than Rep. Roland Libonati (D-
DTH Co-Editor David Ethridge.
The group arrived in Wash
ington Sunday and visited a
number of senators' offices
Monday and Tuesday. Many sen
ators who support the bill were
pleased to see white Southern
ers speak in favor of the meas
ure, Mr. Straley said.
The 11-member delegation rep
resented about 200 Chapel Hill
residents who feel the bill is nec
essary, he said, adding that other
delegations from this group
would visit the Senate later.

two prisoners used against us.
- They, seemed genuinely interest
ed and excited at the chance to
debate with us.
Even men from other parts of
' foe prison came to listen to the
debate and, when it was over,
they all gathered around to ask
questions about the debate and
about the world outside the pris
on. .
A prisoner photographer came
and took our picture. He told
us it would be used in the prison
newspaper and magazine. News
paper and magazine! I was be
ginning to see the Atlanta Fed-
- eral Penitentiary as the self-sustaining
organization it was.
For a long time we sat around
with the prisoners, inside a ring
of guards with rifles ready, talk
ing about Federal Aid to Higher
Education.
It was ironic to me that these
men, so far removed from so
ciety, should be so interested in
the topic, while most of my
friends in the Higher Educational
System really couldn't care less.
. Both pur debate and the ques
tions afterwards were taped so
that it could be played back later
.totsome .of thejother -prisoners.-
: We won the debate, but it was
a i struggle. They were really a
couple of sharp men. I'd hate
to be a detective trying to pin a
crime on one of those guys. ,.
- After the debate was over, we
were escorted to" the prison din
ing hall for lunch. Here I ex
pected tojsee rows and rows of
long wooden tables with tin uten
sils at each place.. It was, in
stead, really a very modern
room with small tables, and cafe
teria style service. The food was
even good.
We were given the full tour of
the penitentiary. From the 1930's
cell blocks to the top of the
lookout tower. It just didn't seem
authentic without Jimmy Casney
and his pin-stripe suit and Tommy-gun.
.
'. In contrast to the rough, vio
lent look of the peoDle and the
harsh appearance of the place,
though, we were treated like
honored guests.
When the Warden himself drove
us back to the airport, I thought
the whole day over.
We had had a good debate,
were treated like kings, and had
seen a side of life that had never
been presented to us except
through the twisted image of a
television screen. I was glad we
had come.

Becker replied that his only
aim was to clarify the Consti

include the words "non-denomi-ational"

The failure to enact the ordin

NEW YORK (UPI) Presi
ednt Johnson, speaking against
a background of chanting civil
rigats demonstrators, Wednesday
dedicated the 1964-65 World's
Fair with a pela for world peace
and equality for all men.
The heavily guarded Chief Exe
cutive, speaking under gray skies
in a light rain, dedicated the $500
million fairgrounds in ceremonies
at Singer Bowl and the U. S.
pavilion.
"I prophesy peace is not only I
possible, I predict it is coming
nearer," Johnson said.
. "I am sure, that speakers at
the next World's Fair will look
back! with amusement at how
greatly we underestimated the
genius of man," the President ad
ded. He recalled that the phophe
cies of the 1939 World's Fair, held
on the same site, had been "far
outstripped by reality."
Hundreds of civil rights dem
onstrators gathered in and around
the fair and scores were arrest
ed in picketing, traffic "stall-ins"
and subway disturbances.
More than 200 scuffling demon
startirs inside and outside the
fairgrounds were arrested. One
policeman was injured.
"Just like Birmingham, just
like Birmingham," chanted some
of the demonstrators as police
led them away. This was a refer
ence to clashes between police
and demonstrators during civil
rights sit-ins at that Alabama
city.
The most serious incident took
place during the early moments
of. the Fair's two-year run when
20 demonstrators tried to stall a
subway train enroute to the fair-'
- grounds. .
Two of them threw, themselves
in front of the train, lying near
the electrified third rail, on ties
wet from a drizzling rain. It
was at the Roosevelt Avenue
Station in Queens which is above
ground. Other demonstrators lay
down inside the train and pre

selected by the Carolina Wom

The award is given annually to
a Senior woman who has "ser
ved her dormitory and the Uni

herself to be outstanding in
character, personality, leader

Mrs. Smith, a nursing student,

In Mr. Erv'u's effice, he said,
they talked with Paul Kitchen,
the former 8th District congress
man now working for the sen

about the bill," said Mrs. Smith.
"I wasn't convinced by his argu
ments. We've all read the bill.
We know what's in it."
In Sen. Jordan's office the
group was met by William Coch

Police with night sticks yanked
17 men and three women off of
the train and tracks and rushed
them to a police station, some in
handcuffs and five of them with
heads bloodied.
Traffic on the five major ex
pressways feeding into the fair
grounds was "light to moderate,"
hampering the demonstrators'
plans to create a chaotic tie-up.

ICemp Robbery Is
Still A Mystery
No new clues were reported
yesterday in the recent robbery
of Kemp's Record and Art Shop.
A total of $16,000 worth of art
pieces and records was stolen
from Kemp's between 4 and 8
a.m. Monday by thieves who
zroke in the rear door.
In addition to about 550 rec
ords most of them sterephonic
jade and ivory faces and bowls,
14 Chinese scrolls (Kemp's en
tire scroll collection, some of
them 1,400 years old) a carved
ivory Ming vase, and Oriental
sacrificial cups were stolen.
Chapel Hill Detective Howard
Pendergraph said that "no new
clues have turned up to indicate
who the thieves were or where
they might be at this time.
"The job" Pendergraph said "was
obviously a professional one.
They knew what they wanted
when they went in there. All the
things taken were of definite
value." -
Pendergraph said "there : was no
indication the thieves had been
International
Awareness
(Editor's note: The following article, written by UNC student
Masa Nishihara of Japan, is the third in a series of four articles
written by foreign students now attending the University. The series
is running in conjunction with "International Student Emphasis
Week.")
This week is the International Emphasis Week with colorful
programs and exhibits for the whole student body, projected by the
International Student Board, a Student Government committee.
The aim is, needless to say, to promote our awareness of inter
national affairs and to fix, as students, our responsibility to world
peace. The National Student Association has recognized the import
ance of national understanding to world peace, and believes that stu
dent organizations on the national, regional, and local levels must co
operate in bring to their groups an increased awareness of, and
sensitivity toward world affairs, and international relations.
Mny may ask. why do we students have to be involved in inter
national problems? " -
We have to see that" history has made up a world community of
mutual dependency, regrettably, of mutual distrust. We ' students
must be aware that students should join in striving for the estab
lishment of a world community of mutual trust which is imperative
for world peace. We students have failed to assume this respon
sibility in today's world. - -
Our responsibility- is not to become direct policy-makers, but to
build up a basis from which a world of mutual trust may become
possible. Students have been a "hidden" class, neglecting the poten
tialities of their own strength. We are responsible, like other classes
of people, for getting rid of the basic obstacles to desirable inter
national relations.
Mutual trust will be born only through mutual understanding.
Mutual undestand'ng will come'about only through humble and sin
cere attitudes toward the problems of our world. By sincere. at
titudes it is meant that we should be open-hearted and open-minded.
The humble attitude urges us to develop positive ones of respect for
the qualities and potentialities of men and women outside the
boundaries of the nation in which we live.
Those who have been brought up in this continent find it difficult,
at the outset, to believe that non-Christian, non-democratic, and
non-indu&trial peoples may possess civilizations which, although pro
foundly different from their own, nevertheless have values that at
he very least deserve their respect, and at the most, their admira
tion and desire for emulation.
To have a positive attitude of resnect for non-Western civilizations
:s not to deprecate or even repudiate tie civilization of the West, but,
on the contrary, to enlarge and enrich the lives of Westerners. The
ame thing is quite annlicable to non-Westerners. Students of non
Western cultures should learn humbly what . the Westerners have
achieved and contributed to the world, and at the same time they
should soe the mistakes of Westerners, and try not to repeat them.
Furthermore, all of us must keep ourselves from the temptation
of confusing material poverty with cultural backwardness, lack of
hygiene and meiical facilities with ethical shortcomings, and the
absence of modern industrialization with a primitive mentality.
Those students who make these errors should attend a Cosmo
politan Club meeting.
Those who believe that non-whites are somehow less capable and
less intelligent than whites should go to foreign students on campus
and check with them.

Several cars ran out of gas, a
couple had "motor" trouble, and
at least one car stalled with two

the Kemp robbery, believed to be
the lacgest in the town's history. 4
Everything but the records is
irreplaceable. Kemp collected the
items while serving as a Marine
courier at the American Embassy
in Peking from 1932 to 1940. Since
1955, when trade with Communist
China was prohibited, the value
of his collection has increased
considerably. The value of the
art items stolen made full in
surance - too expensive. Only 63
per cent of their value is recover
able. The thieves apparently were
scared off in the midst of their
dawn raid on the store, because
thousands of dollars of records
and other art items were stack
ed at the back door. Among thern
was a $1,000 tapestry, several
phonographs, an 'Oriental stone
head, and about 400 more rec
ords. '
"Price didn't seem to matter
to them;' "said Kemp. "They took
whatever appealed to them."
