The Civil Rights Bill: Part I
The Civil Rights Bill of 1963, cer
tainly the most controversial piece of
legislation to be introduced in Congress
in many years, is now in the filibuster
stage in the Senate.
Of course, the length of the bill
makes it impossible to reprint in the
DTH we don't have the space.
But the Durham Morning Herald,
utilizing the services of the Congres
sional Quarterly, is reprinting all sec
tions of the bill. Certainly, it is not as
good as reading the bill itself,
and if you wish to do so we have several
copies on hand in the office.
So here are the first four sections of
the bill. We urge you to read them close
ly. PREAMBLE: "An act to enforce the
constitutional right to vote, to confer
jurisdiction upon the district courts of
. the; United States to provide injunctive
relief against discrimination in public
accommodations, to authorize the at
torney general to institute suits to pro
tect constitutional rights in public facili
ties and public education, to extend the
Commission on Civil Rights, to prevent
discrimination in federally assisted pro
grams, to establish a Commission on
Equal Employment Opportunity and for
other purposes."
TITLE 1 VOTING RIGHTS. In vot
ing for federal elections bar unequal
application of voting registration re
quirements, denial of the right to vote
because of errors or omissions on re
cord of applications, if not material in
determining voter eligibility, and the
use of literacy tests not taken in writ
ing, unless the applicant requests and
state law permits oral literacy tests.
Make a six-grade education a rebuttable
presumption of literacy. Authorize the
attorney general to request three-judge
federal courts to hear voting rights
suits and direct federal courts to ex
pedite voting suits.
TITLE II PUBLIC ACCOMMODA
TIONS. Bar discrimination on grounds
of race, color, religion or national origin
in any public accommodation enumer
ated below, if discrimination or segre
gation in such an accommodation is
"supported" by state laws or action, if
lodgings are provided to transient
guests or interstate travelers are served
or if a substantial portion of the goods
sold or entertainment presented moves
in interstate commerce. Covered were
restaurants, cafeterias, lunch rooms,
lunch counters, soda fountains, gasoline
stations, motion picture houses, theat
ers, concert halls, sports arenas, sta
diums, or any hotel, motel or lodging
house except owner-occupied units with
five or less rooms for rent (the so
called "Mrs. Murphy" clause). Not
specifically covered: barber shops, re
tail .stores, places of amusement such as
bowling alleys, or bona fide private
clubs. But any establishment within or
containing an accommodation otherwise
covered was brought under the terms
of the title. Thus, a store with a lunch
counter would be covered.
Permit anyone denied access to the
accommodations covered to sue in court
for preventive relief through civil in
junction, and authorize the attorney
general to bring such a suit if the pur
poses of the title would be "materially
furthered" by .such action.
TITLE III PUBLIC FACILITIES.
Intervention in Civil Rights Suits. Up
on written complaint of aggrieved , in
dividuals, permit Justice Department
suits to secure desegregation of state
or locally owned, operated or managed
public facilities when the attorney gen
eral certifies that the aggrieved persons
are unable to initiate or maintain ap
propriate legal proceedings because, of
financial limitations or . potential , eco
nomic or other injury to themselvesor
their families.
Also, permit the attorney general to
intervene in already filed suits in the
federal courts where persons have al
leged deprivation of equal protection of
the laws on account of race, color re
ligion or national origin. (This section
was not limited to public facility cases.)
TITLE IV PUBLIC EDUCATION.
Require the U.S. Office of Education to
report within two years on progress of
school desegregation at all levels; au
thorize the office to give technical and
financial assistance, if requested, to
local school systems in the progress of
desegregation, both through grants and
loans ; authorize the attorney general to
file suit for the desegregation of schools
and colleges if he receives signed com
plaints and certifies that the aggrieved
individuals are unable to initiate or
maintain proper legal proceedings be
cause of financial limitations or poten
tial economic or other injury to them
selves or their families.

The Tar Heels Wrap Up Another One
Not one, fans, but two ! Conference
championships, that is.
The Tar Heels shut out Wake yester
day, running their season's record to
11-0, and even if they manage to lose
their final three games, no one is going
to catch them. It's off to Gastonia for
the NCAA District III playoffs, and
then, if our ability holds out, the nation
al championships.

Cone Out, Peacemaker
We have said that we welcome col
umns, and that we do. But, unfortunate
ly, the ethics of journalism force us. to
limit columns to those which are free of
libel, in good taste and signed.
Yesterday we received one in the
mail signed by "The Peacemaker." It
was an excellent piece of writing, and
we would like very much to print it, but
alas.
Who is "The Peacemaker?" Come see
us. Talent should not be hidden behind
a psuedonym.
Subtle Point Gets
Extra Emphasis
Editors, The Daily Tar Heel:
Last week the DTH printed a
borrowed article which made a
good point. But it made it only
in very subdued tones and to
ward IJie end. I doubt if many
people read that long article
all the way to the end; also, it
would be easy to read it and not
see the subtle point.
The point needs to 'be shouted.
It goes like this: it's not right to
say that an idea is a bad one
just because the Communists
happen to like it. Maybe I am
in favor of a certain thing for
good reasons of my own. Then I
find out that the Communists
are in favor of it too, but for
other reasons bad reasons,
from my point of view. For ex
ample, maybe they think that by
advocating this idea they will
hurt the United States. Now I
think they are mistaken. I be
lieve that this thing we're both
in favor of will be good for the
United States. The people who
are on the extreme right today
- would have us to believe that as
soon as we find out that the
Communists are in favor of
something we should renounce
it. All right, so the Communists
think they will use some cause
to spread chaos, undermine our
way of life, and take over. It
hasn't occured to the extreme
right that the Communists may
be less than omniscient in their
choice of ways to subvert us,
that the Communists may think
a certain cause will hurt us,
when maybe it will . really help
us. Nor has it occured to the ex
treme right that, if everybody
followed their ideas, this would
give the Communists total con
trol over us without taking over.
The reason it would do that is
that all that the Communists
would have to do in order to
make us oppose something would
be to speak in favor of it, and
all that they would have to do to
get us to favor something would
be to speak in opposition to it.
It's a wonder that the extreme
right has not condemned shoes
and goulash!
Now let's make an application.
At an opportune time, the Fed
eral Bureau of Investigation an
nounced that there are Com
munists in the civil rights move
ment (as if this was something
new). So what? There are pro
bably Communists in business,
Communists in farming, Com
munists in labor, Communists in
both the Ku Klux Klan and the
Black Muslims. The question to
be considered is whether or not
UNC's Co-Ed Problems:
Over-Protected Immaturity
By PETE RANGE
Ed. Note: Pete Range is a
senior from Athens, Ga., major
ing in German. He spent 1961-62
in Germany on the Goettingen
Scholarship and half a year in
India. He has traveled through
out Europe and the Near East.
This is the first of three articles
on the University's attitude to
ward its women students.
One of the most striking sen
sations I had upon re-entering
American society at UNC last
spring after my stay in Europe
and Asia was that the maturity
of my fellow students was low
er tiian I found abroad. More
specifically, the women students
seemed unbelievably immature
compared to their European
sisters. I felt like ' I was sudden
ly among girls again, instead of
young women.
What is it about our woman
student that makes her seem
more like a "girl of 20" than a
'young woman of 20," even.
when she graduates from' col
lege? ' - -
The most common and obvious
criticism of the Carolina coed
is that she is neither informed
about nor interested in anything
of a serious nature. Not only
does she not know the difference
between the views of H. R.
Gross and Wayne Morse (or
who they are!), but she usually
lives in an aura of ignorance
civil rights and the war on pov
erty can be ignored. And most
of all intellectual endeavor is
unbecoming to the "sweet South
ern belle."
Here we come to one of the
sorest points: our women like
our men) are obsessively con
cerned with acceptance and ap
proval by the opposite sex. And
for this approval, our women
feel that an eighteenth-century
naivite, singular stupidity and
rivers of honey-tongued sweet
ness must be the substance of
her personality. Even those few
who sometimes feel a desire to
discuss something more than the
new Mustang, the relative mer
its of Old Crow over Kentucky
Gentleman and the wonders of
the Doug Clark combo feel ob
liged to suppress their curiosity
if they shall incur the disfavor
of the equally ignorant Carolina
gentleman.
Be it far from me to wish our
women to abandon reasonable
attempts to look good, be cheer
ful and please their men! I
have too much of .the Georgian
in me to reject the Southern
belle! But unless this sweet per
sonality is combined with an in
dependent and inquisitive . mind,
the young lady is more of an in
sult to the South than an asset.'
A high school poll I partici
pated in some years ago, turned
up the conclusion that (1). girls
the civil rights movement is
good for the United States. I
think it is, and the Communists
think it's not. So I'm for it and
they're for it, but for different
reasons. Judge for yourself
whether it's a just and good
cause. Then be for it or against
it on the basis of what you, as
an educated and loyal American,
think of it not on the basis of
what the Communists think of it.

Chastises DTH
Editors, The Daily Tar Heel:
I am afraid the headline on
your report of my discussion
with Senator McGovern does not
quite match the accuracy of the"
report itself. I do not believe
that defense spending is hurting
the country; indeed, I think it
is very clear that this country
can readily afford whatever is
needed to provide for our secur
ity. I think the current Defense
budget is a reasonable one. I
believe my remarks during the
Symposium made . both these
points.
Let me also note that although
you have honored me with a
doctorate, no one else has had
the good judgment to do so.

social and not academic; one's
actions must, after all, be in
keeping with one's goals.
To me one of the most serious
aspects of the problem is that
our women never learn social
maturity. They do not get any
practice in making independent
decisions about behavior in
society.
While the , male student has
complete discretion as to the
regulation of his life from the
day he enters the university, the
woman student has discretion
over her life only between cer
tain hours, only in certain places
(she cannot leave the county
without permission or spend the
night out), and only in certain
dress.- .And., then her freedom
still finds little fences scattered
all about the battleground, "pro
tecting" her here and there,
guarding her against the evil
demons in her soul which would
wreak her ruin if she were al
lowed to make decisions for her
self. At the heart of this problem,
I think, stands the misguided.

Editors, The Daily Tar Heel:
Being a faithful member of the
UNC-YDC, yet missing one meet
ing, I was denied the privilege
of voting for YDC officers. This
same fate was mine last year
after I had anxiously awaited
the coming elections. Earlier
this year it was suggested to the
past president that letters be
sent out to announce meetings;
faithfully he went about this task,
sending" something like three let
ters the entire year, one of which
did not relate directly to UNC
YDC meetings. But this was an
improvement over last year.
With such improvement being at
tempted how could anyone pull
the something less than astute
move of again electing officers
by 25 "individuals" "represent
ing" 400 without notification of
all members. This seems to be
more of an appointment of of
ficers. '
The Moore-Preyer issue is not
the main point, although it may
have been with the gathering of
brilliant politicians a few nights
ago. The main concern results
from the ineptitude of the UNC
YDC officers as evidenced in the
past few years at UNC.
Few YDC clubs even come
close to being as large as ours,
yet I would maintain that many
arouse much more enthusiasm,
as does the lesser UNC-YRC. The
slow death of the YDC here re
sults from such election stunts
as recently seen, combined
with attitudes of "undergraduates
don't cars about anything iut
campus politics" and "letters
don't achieve greater participa
tion," although to my knowledge
when letters were sent out, par
ticipation did increase.
If 400 letters bring out only if)
more people is the YDC not just
a little more active? Surely it
is and just as surely with "the
previous negative attitudes, nega
tive leadership abounds and with
it negative participation.
Thank you politically astute
leaders for the demise of cur
YDC.

Reader Agrees
Radio Terrible
Editors, The Daily Tar Heel:
I believe many students are
in agreement with Henry Mc
lnnis' article "Primitive Sound.-;
Dominate The Airways All Dav
Long" (DTH, Sunday, May 3."
There is much the commercial
stations can do to improve their
programming. I believe the
University should take the first
step by making WUNC-FM's pro
grams available to the great
majority of students by installing
AM transmission facilities. Most
of us do not own FM receivers
due to their high cost and thus
must miss many good programs.
The initial cost of the facilities
would be the only objection to
their use. -WUNC-"AM" would
have no competitors with other
local stations, and if they object
to this programming, they could
fight fire with fire and make the
day's listening much better.

Tra-la-la-la-la, those nasty old
Communists can't speak on state
supported college campuses, but
they can sing and dance, says
Assistant Attorney General Ralph
Moody.
Moody said recently that the
controversial Speaker Ban Law
does not apply to artists and en
tertainers. That's very interesting. Stu
dents of college age are not al
lowed to hear Communist or
Communist - affiliated scholars
speak on their respective fields,
but entertainment, Red or other
wise, is allowed.
This is another instance which
points out, or seems to point out,
the absurdity of the so-called
Gag Law. There is more than
enough American entertainment
floating round the country, as
was proven in last week's Jubi
lee. And there are some known
Communist scholars who might
impart knowledge and enlight
enment were they permitted to
speak on campus.
Moody made his comments in
response to a question posed by
Dr. Leo Jenkins, president of
East Carolina College, where the.
Raduga Russian Folk and Ballet
Ensemble was invited to perform
next fall.
"The performance of such a
folk and ballet ensemble com
posed of Russian personnel is not
an appearance on the campus of
your college for 'speaking pur
poses " Moody told Jenkins.
Horashe! (That's Russian for
"great.")
Spoken or sung, a word is a
word, and Red speakers aren't
permitted to speak a word on
campus.' There is a difference
between a performance for enter
tainment purposes and a scholar
ly address, but a Communist is
a Communist, whether he's
speaking, dancing or eating fti
Lenoir Hall.
The 1963 law forbids Commun
ists, any persons who pleaded the
Fifth Amendment in security
cases and advocates of the over
throw of the government from
speaking on state-supported cam
puses. It seems the law was original-
ly intended, by the few who hur
riedly rushed it through the Gen
eral Assembly, to prevent the
infiltration of Communist propa
ganda into our childish minds.
It also seems we are too young
to decipher for ourselves what is
right and wrong, good and bad,
healthy and diseased. In brief,
we are children.
All this legislative jumble
means that a Communist scien
tist or physicist can not speak
on his vocation. But the powers-that-be
have relented and allow
ed the "children" under their
wings to enjoy entertainers.
Great! (That's English for
"great!")
In November of this year, the
Moscow Chamber Orchestra was
allowed to perform at UNC, but
only because University officials
took the position that the so-called
Gag Law applied only to
speakers, not musicians.
This is a credit to the officials
involved; at least they managed
to bring some high-class (al
though Communist) entertain
ment to the campus for the bene
fit of those who were deprived
by the Gag, the students.
Stili, the question of what harm
a Red speaker could do arises.
Any number of books on Com
munism and Marxism can be
read at the Wilson Library, and
you can't ask a book a question.
When the reading is finished,'
the printed words are still there
for thought. On the other hand,
a Communist speaker's words,
like those of any other speaker,
float through the air. Some are
remembered; more are forgot
ten. And you can ask a speaker
questions, should he be bold
enough to infiltrate his talk with
propaganda.
What it all boils down to is
this: in the eyes of those back
ing the Speaker Ban Law, we are
too immature to hear a speech
and draw conclusions on it our
selves. Rather, we are to be
spoon-fed, led by the .hand, and
endowed with someone to thia
for us. It speaks poorly of us,
but until some same minds
amend the Gag that chokes us,
we are stuck with it.
Anyway, see you and your Red
friends ct ECC.
