Council Will

By HUGH STEVENS
If analogies can be drawn
succe&Muny oetween Consiiiu
Utiial processes and hunting
expeditions, t n e controversial
Student "poll" must be com
pared to a wounded bear and its
Opponents to boys armed with
B-B guns. No matter how many
4imes they hit it, it just seems
to keep coming.
Tonight tne llial word -will be
saw vy tne oniy bouy lett in
fjossession of a potentially dan
gerous 'weapon me Constitu
Uucai Council, if the Council de
cides to pull the trigger, aid it
may, me bear will oe a oead
ouck. Otherwise, aiter long and
numerous days of waiting, won
dering, wishing and worrying,
the student body will have be
fore it on Friday an opportunity
ta express its collective opin
ions on the vital matter of civil
rights in Chapel Hill.
1 do not pretend to be able to
predict the outcome of tonight's
Constitutional Council decision,
but I can assure you that it will
be the absolute final word on
this amazingly confused situa
tion. When the "referendum"
originally cune up, it was a
sort of political football in pos
session of the University Party.
They fumbled, and the ball
went over to the Student Party
side.
The SP's first pass was inter
cepted by a bi-partisan team
and almost carried into the end
zooe before the Ways and Means
committee called a penalty. The
committee ruled that the ball
would have to be put away for
toe season, so Dick Akers, a
first-stringer for the bi-partisan
team, painted the' ball a new
color, disguised its shape, and
started a new game entirely.
Now the last great referee, the
Consti tu tional Council, . will de-.
cide whether the game can con
tinue. Arthur Hays, a sort of player
coach for the SP team, will un
doubtedly lead the fight against
constitutionality.
Hays has said that it is the
intent cf the Student Constitu
tion to require the Elections
Board to conduct all campus
wide elections. He even has one
of the authors of the Constitu
tion, John Randall, to back him
up. He says the proposed "poll"
is just an attempt to side-step
the Constitution, and is covered
by the elections laws.
"A referendum is a referen
dum is a referendum," Hays has
remarked. Well, Arthur Hays is
Arthur Hays is Arthur Hays
too, and we fully expect him to
see it through to the' end.
The proponents of the issue
have some points in their favor.
All they will have jto do, ap
parently, is to prove that a
'poll" and a "referendum" are
not the same thing. "This may
fee harder than it ppers.
The primary difficulty seems
to lie in the fact that the "poll"
was ever called a "referendum"
in the first place. I do not have
at hand any legal basis tor the
decision, and indeed it should
be left to the Council to decide,
but it seems to me that the ini
tial use of "referendum" in the
first place was a slip-up.
Webster's New International
tells me that "referendum" is
commonly used to refer to the
practice of submitting to the
voters an issue upon which a
legislative body has either taken
action or intends to take action.
Thus, a "referendum" is gen
erally construed to have some
effect upon the legislation itself.
Such does not appear to be
Ohe case this time. An expres
sion of campus opinion on the
tgivil rights issue would not,
could not, -and should not change
anything. The legislature "took
o legal action on the issue it
only expressed the belief that
the students should refrain from
patronizing segregated stores,
and ASKED them to do so. They
could no more enforce their ac
tion than the student body could
require them to change it, even
by a vote.
v So if the "poll" sets through
the Constitutional Council, the stu
dents will be doing nothing more
on Friday than expressing their
personal opinions on the civil
rights issue. It will not be a
"referendum" on pending legis
lation, and it cannot make the
legislature do anything more than
the leaislature culd have made
the students abide by the boy
cott. Thus it seems we have our
terms mixed up. What is now a
poll should have been a poll all

Some 423 books and medical

The U.N.C. delegation to the

project.
The local committee in charge
of the project was composed of
Vance Barron, Cecilia Gajardo,
Jubee Mullis and Carolyn Eu

appreciation to all students who
donated books," a committee
spokesman said yesterday. "We
would especially like to thank
Miss Porter Cowles of the U.N.C.
Press and Miss Myrl Ebert of
the Health Affairs Library for
their invaluable aid."
The committee had to select
the books to be sent very care
fully, because of the high cost
of shipping. The books that were

LB J, Luxon
Meet In DC
WASHINGTON (UPD Ameri
can newsmen are the censors
of the government and the guar
dians of democracy, President
Johnson said Monday.
Johnson confessed that he may
get a little annoyed at times by
the free advice on how to run
the government that he gets from
the press.
But he told a small group of
top college journalists that "as
long as the press is free. . . de
mocracy will be free."
Johnson made the statements
in presenting medallions and
words of encouragement to win
ners of the annual intercollegiate
journalism awards program spon
sored by the William Randolph
Hearst Foundation.
Hal David Hall, 20, a junior at
the University of Tennessee in
Knoxville, won first prize in the
student competition. He was
awarded the foundation's gold
medallion.
A silver medallion went to sec
ond place winner Jean Heller, a
junior at Ohio State University.
The President also presented a
gold medallion to Dean Neil Lux
on of the University of North
Carolina Journalism Department
for placing first among 47 ac
credited journalism schools in the
nation.
"I was a collese editor once,"
Johnson said, "But as you can
see, I didn't do as well as you
have done, so I went into poli
tics." The Hearst Foundation has
made awards totaling $41,000 this
year in the fourth year of the
program of student scholarships
and merit grants.

Behind Poll
'It's Hard Work'
, They Both Declare
Putting together a campus-wide
- election in less than a week is
quite a job, especially when the
committee in charge of running it
it has only two men.
Armistead Maupin and Clark
Crampton, old hands at such polls,
are hard at work putting together
Carolina's first campus-wide poll
since spring of 1961, when the
Student Body voted that they felt
local theaters should be integrat
ed. And now it is the student boy
cott. Residence Hall presidents
and other campus leaders have
been contacted, and Friday, bar-.
rmg an adverse decision by the
Constitutional Court, the ballot
boxes will be spread over the
campus.
"This is one of the biggest jobs
in the world," Crampton said yes
terday. "Armistead and I both
both have quizzes this week, and
I've averaged about four hours
of sleep a night in the last week.
"I'll be glad when it's over."
The poll was brought about
through action by a group of leg-'
islators who said a campus-wide
referendum must be held this
spring. It encountered heavy op
position from legislator Arthur
Hays, who termed the poll "blat
antly unconstitutional."
But in the meantime the work
goes on, and Maupin and Cramp
ton "are finally ahead of sche
dule. "If we get the full cooperation
of the Residence Hall presidents,
the vote should run" smoothly",
Maupin said.

Uncbnfined by the limits of the

As Opposition
Lines Up
Constitutional
Council Will Rule
By HUGH STEVENS
The Constitutional Council will -meet
tonight at 7 p.m. to decide
on the vaiidity of the proposed
"Student Poll."
The Council, composed of three
members of the Men's Council
and three Women's Council rep
resentatives, will hear arguments
from both sides in a final at
tempt to settle the question of
a spring vote on the racial ques
tion. The "poll" resolution was pass
ed last Thursday night in a sur
prise moved by Student Legisla
ture. Earlier, a "referendum"
had been proposed on the issue,
but a lack of time in which to
appoint the new Elections Board
and conduct the vote appeared to
stop the plan.
Legislature attempted to over
ride the Student Constitution by
changing the "referendum" to a
"poll" and conducting it through
the Communications Committee.
Campus poll-taking is one o
the standard duties o that com
mittee, currently chaired by Ar
- mistead Maupin and Clark
Crampton.
Arthur Hays, SP legislator and
former Elections Board Chair
man (1962-63), is expected to
lead the drive to have the "poll'
declared unconstitutional.
In a statement which appeared
in the DTII on Saturday, Hays
said the move was "so blatantly

night at 7:30 in the same old

At Ease.
unconstitutional as to force some
of its supporters to shrug off the
constitutional question as a mere
technicality."
The Student Constitution re
quires all "referendums" to be
conducted through the Elections
Board, but makes no mention of
the word "poll."
Hays argued, "a referendum is
still a referendum no matter
what else it is called."
The argument in favor of the
poll will probably be led by Dick
Akers and Mai King, two of the
resolution's six sponsors.
Proponents of the measure are
expected to base their arguments
on the definitions of "referen
dum" and "poll."
"This vote is nothing more
than a poll to sample campus
opinion, and it has never been
more than that," said Don Car
son, Speaker of the Legislature.
'The choice of the word 'referen
dum' in the initial references to
this measure was an unfortunate
one."
"We are certain," Carson con
tinued, "that every precaution is
being taken by the Communica
tions Committe to insure that this
poll will be as well-conducted as
possible."
Pete Wales, Men's Council
chairman and head of the Consti
tutional Council, said yesterday
the members of the council had
not been chosen. They will be
elected in a special meeting to
day. The body has the power to
rule on all disputes concerning
the anplieation of the Student
Constitution.
If the measure passes the coun
cil, the ooll will be submitted to
toe students on Friday. Standard
election procedures will be used
wherever possible, except that
the Communications Committe;
will serve as the administering
asency rather than the Elections
Board.
