IlJgh in 60's Founded Feb. 23, 1893 CHAPEL HILL, NORTH CAROLINA, SATURDAY, MAY, 2, 1964 United Press International Service Editor's Notebook "v'""'""ri j I t - ' I i --r,r With IIUGII STEVENS Your Student Legislature is currently embroiled in a situa tion so muddled, so confused and so controversial that it would take a veritable genius to un wind it. In recent weeks, three differ ent attempts have been made to present a bill acceptable to the body which would set up a campus-wide special referendum on the student boycott and other as pects of the local civil rights squabble. Historically, the situation looks like this: 1. The first bill was introduced by George Ingram (UP) at one of the last sessions of the 36th Assembly, only a few days be fore the recent Spring elections. It met with miserable defeat, and went on to become the only really heated issue of the entire campaign. Suspension Called When an attempt was made to introduce Ingram's bill under a suspension of the. rules, the Stu dent Party leaders immediately cried "foul." They saw the move as a political trick, designed to enhance the fortunes of the UP slate in the elections, since they realized that a referendum would have wide-spread appeal among the members of the student body. The UP said it was just an at tempt to give the students an opportunity to have their say on this vital issue (though only one or two UP members actually knew about the bill beforehand). To a certain extent, the UP members were probably truth ful, since the students have been practically begging for a referen dum. But the fact remains that such a move would have been ' beneficial to the UP campaign, assuming it could have gotten through Legislature. (In retro spect, it appears that this was a pretty poor assumption for any responsible politician to make. What's more, it later turned out that the Elections Board could not have gotten the question on the ballot anyway though in light of later developments this bardly seems noteworthy.) At any rate, the SP mustered the necessary votes to prevent the bill from reaching the floor, and the issue became, a hot one. Charges and countercharges were filed by members of both par ties, with the UP claiming that the SP had let partisanship de prive the students of a referen dum, and the SP charging that the whole thing was a political stunt in the first place. Elections Change Picture Only a few days afterward, however, the elections were held, sending in a new legislature for its 37th Assembly. The SP again had dominance over the UP (by one seat) but the balance of pow er was left in the hands of five Independents who nailed down seats for the first time. Begin round two. 2. At the very first session of the new Assembly, almost be fore the new legislators had settled in their chairs, Bob Wil son (SP) introduced the second referendum bill. It fell among his fellow legislators like a bomb. Everybody in the room seemed surprised except Wilson and Ar thur Hays. There was good rea sonnobody else knew the bill was going to be introduced. Nothing was done, really, be cause the bill simply fell into the usual legislative committee process. But many legislators on both sides of the aisle left in a huff, accusing the SP of doing exactly what the UP had done earlier. In addition, many of those who saw the bill after its intro duction were unable to decide exactly what it said. The ques tions "proposed for the referen dum were couched in such vague terms that we saw fit to make editorial comment about them (DTH, April 25th). But whatever the reasons which they gave for their opposition, it was obvious that many were opposed to the bill. Begin round three. Wilson's Bill Introduced 3. Among those unhappy with the Wilson bill were a group of legislators UP, SP, and Inde pendent who had decided to in troduce a bipartisan measure at the first regular meeting of the new Assembly this week. They felt that the best way to end the controversy over partisan ship was to gather ud a large group of people from both par ties, introduce a compromise bill and attempt to kill Wilson's of- ( Continued on Page 2) 3rd VOTE BILL IN By HUGH STEVENS The introduction of a third bill calling for a campus-wide referendum on the controversial student boycott highlighted the first full session of Student Leg islature's 37th Assembly Thurs day evening. The latest bill is a nonpartis an one, introduced by Mai King (UP), Die Akers (SP), Teddy OToole (IND), Jim Brame (SP), John Harmon (UP), and John Froneberger (SP). The action came on the heels of a bill introduced last week by Bob Wilson (SP). Wilson's bill has been the object of criti cism from legislators in both Law Association Names Thornton To Presidency William Thornton, rising third year Law student from Asheville, was elected president of the UNC Student Bar Association Tuesday, defeating J. Hoyle Stultz Jr. of Draper and Harry S. Cline of Stony Point. Thornton is a graduate of Wash ington University of St. Louis, Mo. Law students voted overwhel mingly in favor of an amendment to the Law Students Association bylaws to change the name of their organization to Student Bar Association. Other officers elected were Sheldon Fogel, rising third year student from Chapel Hill, vice president; Owen Cook, rising sec ond year student from Fayette ville, secretary; Robert Chandler, rising second year student from Rocky Mount, treasurer; and Bar ry Osmun, rising second year stu dent from Glen Ridge, N.

The march will begin at St. Joseph's Methodist Church on West Rose mary Street. "Today's march is specifically aimed at a protest at the harsh and unjust sentences handed down by Judge Raymond Mallard in Orange County Superior Court last week", commented Bill Hicks, a member of the group organizing the march. The group is not affiliated with any organization. "I have, never . been arrested", Hicks contin parties who are displeased with its content and the manner in which it was introduced. No action was taken on Wil son's bill Thursday, as no com mittee hearings had been held on it. The new legislature com mittees were appointed Thursday night. Hearings on both bills will be held by the Ways and Means Committee next Monday at 3 p.m. in Graham Memorial. The first referendum bill, in troduced by George Ingram (UP), was introduced in the old 36th Assembly shortly before spring elections. It failed to gain the floor when Student Party leaders labeled it a "political trick" -and mustered the votes necessary to prevent a suspen sion of the rules. The sponsors of the latest bill called it "an attempt to clarify the issue and remove the stigma of partisan politics from a vital matter." Don Carson, Speaker of the legislature, said the introduction of a non-partisan bill is "a big step in getting this issue before the campus. "The sponsors of this bill in clude three members of the Stu dent Party, two members of the University Party, and one inde pendent. Their action represents a sincere desire to present this Overflights Bring New Cuban Crisis From DTH Wire Reports A new Cuban crisis flared Fri day. Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khru shchev and Cuban Premier Fidel Castro, in almost simultaneous statements, warned the United States that further U. S. recon naissance flights over Cuba could bring world disaster. The U. S. State and Defense Departments restated President Johnson's insistence that flights by U2 and other such planes would continue for the sake of the United States' security. Johnson said recently that Cuban armed efforts to halt the flights would have "serious consequences." Khrushchev, speaking at the traditional May Day banquet in the Kremlin, said the continued flights could have disastrous con sequences and denied there had been any understanding with the United States that they would continue. "We have always said and de clare once again that a threat to Cuba, the continuation of the Demonstration issue to the student body. I be lieve that all concerned are weary of seeing this issue pulled through the meat grinder of par tisan politics," Carson said. Other Bills Introduced In addition to the referendum bill, seven other bills were intro duced, most of them concerned with financial matters. Don Wilson (SF) introduced a measure calling" for the State Student Legislature Committee to be made a permanent commit tee of Student Government. Five legislators were elected ' to represent the body on other Student Government committees. Jeff Pickett (UP) and Jim Little (SP) were named to the Publi cations Board. Sandra Burden (SP) and Mai King (UP) will serve on the Consolidated Stu dent Council, and John Frone berger SP) will be the legisla tive representative on the Gra ham Memorial Board of Direc tors.

"Without this protest, the whole problem of segregation in Chapel Hill, which JUdge Mallard's sentences have in no way alleviated, may well be forgotten by ' white students. "We as students have an obligation to keep Chapel Hill from forgetting that many of its cit:zens do not have even a few of the opportun ities that we, as college students, take com pletely for granted." Students currently on probation from Judge Mallard's court cannot participate in the demon stration, and this will hamper efforts at a large SL tions Armistead Maupin, Clark Crampton; Orientation Reform Judy Grape, Roger Davis; Na tional Merit Scholarship Wyall McCallie, Jim Smith; Student Committee on Honors Vance Barron, Jane Dallen; Consolidat ed Student Council Hugh Stev ens; Student Credit Commission Gordon Shapiro; State Affairs Al Snead, Hubert Wooten; Resi dence Hall Improvement Don Carson; Carolina Forum George Nicholson, William Schwartz; Fine Arts Festival Henry Al ridge, James Meriweather; Bud getFrank Martin; Student Aud it Board Bill Kirkland.

Royster Backs CR Bill In Journalism Lecture By DENNIS SANDERS And DAV'ID PRATHER The central problem in Am erica today, according to Ver mont C. Royster, is that the people have not reconciled the the role of the government in preserving liberty, order and security. "Americans are groping to reconcile each of these govern mental duties without giving up either one," the editor of the Wall Street Journal and alum nus of UNC told an audience of 200 in an 8 p.m. Howell Hall address Thursday. Royster, a Raleigh native, also predicted that the national civil rights bill will pass in one of the next two sessions of con gress. Discounting reports of grow ing ' northern white dissatisfac tion with the bill, Royster said, "The sense of the House, the 'sense -of - the entire country is that we should have a civil rights bill. The editor said it would be an "illusion" for anyone to interpret as a genuine opposition to the bill "the white backlash" re sulting from northern civil rights protests. Speaking on "The Political Problems of Mid-Century Amer ica," Royster said that before World War II, the government's function was "liberty and the maintenance of order." The atomic bomb, though, took America from "behind its ocean moat and military security be came a major responsibility." Royster also said the govern MEN'S COUNCIL SEATS VACANT Bob Spearman, Student Body President, announced yesterday that he will hold interviews for vacancies oh the Men's Council and Women's Honor Council on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednes day of next week in the Student Government office. The Men's Council vacan cies are in Men's District I all of the area outside of the cor porate limits of Chapel Hill and Carrboro; Men's District VIII Winston, Connor, Joyner, and Alexander; and Men's District X Ehringhaus. The vacancy on the Women's Council is in Women's District V, Cobb Dormitory. All of these seats are for a six month term except for Cobb and Men's District I which are one year seats. Spearman urged all students who have had experience with the judicial branches of Student Government or who have taken bet ir or turnout, according to several persons who have been affiliated with the local integration move ment. - i ? . Mallard last week gave suspended sentences to many local residents on the condition that they not participate nor associate with demonstrations or demonstrators. In addition, he sentenced 12 members of the local movement to jail terms ranging from four months to a full year. Those sentenced included Pat Cusick, field secretary for the Student Peace Union; John Dunne, chairman of the Chapel Hill Freedom Committee; J. V. Henry, field secre tary for the Student Non-Violent CoordiAating Committee; and Rosemary Ezra. Basketballers Are Featured In Playmakers Final Show TOM BENENSON ment and the people have to choose which of the three needs is most paramount. "The American people are un decided. We have rejected sim ple solutions, such as whether to bomb Russia or give in to her wants. Either decison," he added, "would be incompatible with one of the national needs." This undecideness has led to "fuzziness in our foreign policy and conflict between the wel fare state and individual se curity." "The country is marking time," Royster said, "unwilling to make up its mind one way or the other." He cited government spending as an example: "Large govern ment spending would bring infla tion or high taxes, yet the pub lic is not willing to support any one who would cut the budget so much that it would do away -with - governmental services." How long can this stalemate exist? "The record of history is against the maintenance of this balance," Royster said. "Our problem is can we make them compatible, and, if not, which will we choose?" Following his address, Royster took part in an informal dis cussion with journalism stu dents in the Howell Hall journa lism lounge. He outlined the policies and commented on the format of the Wall Street Jour nal. Royster was the second speak er in a series of journalism lectures this year. the Honor System quiz, to inter view for these positions. But, Spearman added, "Al though experience is desired, it is not a prerequisite. Ability, willingness and desire are the basic qualities that Council mem bers should have. "I hope that students interested in the Councils will take this opportunity to interview for the positions." MOSQUITOES Dr. Phillip S. Corbet of the En tomology Research Institute of the Canada Department of Agri culture, will address the Univer sity Zoology Seminar Tuesday on "Aspects of the Ecology of Tropi cal Culicine Mosquitoes." The meeting will be held at 4:45 p.m. in room 105 Wilson Hall. Coffee will be served at 4:30. nn 1 oday Zarro Joins Galanti And Cunningham For 'Braggart Soldier' Roman slaves, courtesans, and soldiers will invade the Forest Theatre for four evenings this week as the Carolina Playmak ers present Plautus wild and racy farce comedy, "The Brag gart Soldier" May 7 through 10. Director Kai Jurgenson has been putting his cast (which in cludes UNC basketball stars Bil ly Galantai, and Rick Zarro as slaves) through their paces for the last two weeks in preparation for the May 7 "Student Night" opening at the Forest Theatre. The three performances on May 8, 9, and 10 will play to the gen eral public. Graham Pollock of Gatesville, last seen as the unforgettable Indian in the Playmakers pro duction of "The Fantasticks," has been cast in the title role of Pyrgopolynices, a Roman sol dier of questionable valor who has an ego as long as his name. Also appearing in major roles are Lise Knox of Chapel Hill and Margaret Cathell of Lexington as Philocomasium and Acroteleu tium, two Roman courtesans. Rounding out the cast are Co lin Ferguson, Chapel Hill; Arn old Wengrow, Columbia, S.

With the exception of the play wright, who lived a few centuries too early to qualify, "The Brag gart Soldier" promises to be a one hundred per cent UNC effort. The translation being used is that of Dr. Albert I. Suskin, chairman o the Department of Classics at the University, and the cast is made up entirely of UNC stu dents. "Student Night" tickets for "The Braggart Soldier" will go on sale on Tuesday of next week in Y-Court, and the sale will con tinue through Thursday, if tick ets are still available. These general admission tickets, for UNC students and dates only, may be purchased for one dol lar (half price) for the Thursday performance only.
