wlra CHAPEL HILL, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, JUNE 11, 1964 Aycock Successor Narrowed To Four By GARY BLANCHARD It takes about as long to pick a chancellor as it does to have a baby. This, at least, has been the case at the University here. At one time, the list of can didates for the job had about 200 names. Today, it has been whittled down to four. The process of finding a new leader for this branch of the Consolidated University began last summer, after Chancellor William B. Aycock announced he was resigning July 1 to return to his first love, teaching at UNC's law school. President William C. Friday appointed a Selection Committee of six faculty members, five trustees and five alumni. One faculty member later dropped out when he was nominated for the chancellorship. A few other members,- also nominated, with drew their names from consider ation and stayed on the com mittee. Playmakers Plan Three Productions Three productions have been scheduled here this summer by the Carolina Playmakers and the Department of Dramatic Art. Tryouts will be held for "Crit ic's Choice," by Ira Levin, Mon day, June 15, at 4 and 7:30 p.m. in Memorial Hall. The play will be directed by Kai Jurgensen and will be given free of charge in the GM lounge Thursday through Saturday, July 9-11 at 8 p.m. In terested persons are invited to the tryouts. Ira Levin also wrote the suc cessful "No Time For Sergeants" that catapulted a former Carolina Playmakers, Andy Griffith, to fame as the bumbling but lovable private in the Broadway and mov ie version. John W. Parker, director of the Carolina Playmakers, has an nounced that there are parts open for two men, four women and one boy for "Critic's Choice." This will be the only play produced (Continued on Page 14) UNC Students For Preyer Will Meet Tuesday Night Formation of a student com mittee to promote L. Richardson Preyer for Governor was an nounced yesterday by Mickey Blackwell, chairman of "UNC Students for Preyer." An organizational meeting will be held Tuesday evening at 7:30 in Roland Parker Lounge in G.M. Blackwell urged all students "who want to see North Caro lina keep on the move" to be sure and attend this meeting. The senior from Gastonia said the committee was revived "be cause we think that students should be aware of the issues confronting the voters in the up coming runoff election." The election, scheduled June Under the chairmanship of alumnus William Medford, a fed eral district attorney from Ashe ville, the Committee began com piling lists of persons nominated by members and friends of the University community. Some 125 to 130 names were submitted, including six from the faculty here. The committee then began sending its members on trips to educational institutions and as sociations in other parts of the country to discuss higher educa tion and UNC's place in it and to solicit the names of other po tential nominees. The list of candidates grew longer. Next, the Committee began the hard, slow process of gathering background information on each nominee and developing t h e standards for judging each can didate. . . They were aided in this task by meetings with Friday, Aycock and other members of the Uni versity who discussed the nature of the chancellorship, its duties and responsibilities and the place of the Chapel Hill branch in the Consolidated University system and. the State in general. They considered the level and extent of each candidate's ad ministrative and scholarly ex perience, whether his ex perience was in public or private education, his age, present sal ary, general background and character, how well he got aleng with others, his standards of ex cellence, and the relative value of promoting from within rather than bringing someone in from outside the University. Each candidate's life became an open book to the Committee, especially as more nominees were sifted out for one reason or another The next phase involved meet ing With the candidates. Some came here, others were visited on their home campuses. This is the situation today about three weeks away from Chancellor Aycock's resignation date the list has been whittled down to four men. Everyone in on the selection is honor-bound to keep the proceedings confiden tial. The secrecy is to avoid em barrassing those nominees who don't get the job and to avoid (Continued on Page 11 27, will pit Preyer against Dan K. Moore.

Men 9s Council Rules Sit-In Gentlemanly A UNC student was found in nocent by the Mea's Honor Council May 28, of "ungmtle tnanly conduct" charges arisiug out of his participation in a civil rights highway sit-devui demonstration here last Feb ruary 8. I 1 A statement by Pete Wales, chairman of the Men's Council concerning this trial and the council's philosophy behind their decision appears on page 16. After an hour's deliberation, the 12-member Council ruled that Keith Payne, 19-year-old white Junior from Fayetteville, Ark., conducted himself "responsibly" in the demonstration and there fore what he did was "perfectly gentlecnanly." The decision resulted in similar charges against nine other UNC students being dropped by the Council. It was the second precedent setting civil rights decision reached by the Council. On February 13, Thomas Bjo.um, 19-year-old Negro freshman of Chapel Hill, was exonerated by the Council on charges arising from a sit-in demonstration at a local segre gated restaurant. Lazlo Birinyi, assistant stu dent attorney general, who in vestigated the Payne case, told the Council that Payne's case was brought up "partly at the request of various persons" and involved a dif.erent question than the earlier Bynum case. "The Bynum case involved protesting the use of a law (the State trespass law). This case (Continued on Page 1?' Revived Basketball Tournev Will Begin Christmas 1965 The University has re-entered the big-time basketball business. At the last quarterly meeting of the Consolidated University Board of Trustees President Wil liam C. Friday announced he has withdrawn the restrictions im posed on basketball in the Uni versity following the gambling scandals of 1961, and will allow Carolina and N. C. State to set up a new Christmas basketball tournament, beginning in 1965. The new tournament will be a two-day double header of the same type as the defunct Dixie Classic. Under the announced . plan, teams from the two schools would play two other teams in a doubleheader the second night. High 9 Mark Dorms House Over 4,000 More than 6,100 students the most ever here for a summer session registered Monday, some 6C0 more than last sum mer's 5,465 first session enroll ment. Director of Housing James Wadsworth said about 4,700 of these are living in dormitories. The rest have rooms or apart ments in tcwn, he said. Next session, enrollment is . expected to drop by almost 2,000 but that 4,200 will still be al most 500 students more than sec ond session last summer. .'At least 6,000 other people will be on .campus for varying periods during the summer for about 60 special short courses, confer ences, institutes and workshops. "These large summer enroll ments show a trend toward cap acity use tf educational facilities the year round," Dr. A. K. King, director of the summer session, said. A new development in the past six years, according to Dr. King, is the steady increase in the proportion of graduate students to undergraduates. Annual in creases in the number of gradu ates attending summer sessions have consistently been a few points higher than the usual five per cent increases in the num ber of undergraduates. Faculty for the summer num bers more than 425, about 355 regular University faculty and about 60 visiting professors. A large number of the visitors are chosen for their research speci alties. The old Dixie Classic matched the Big Four of North Carolina. N. C. State, Wake Forest and Duke University against four out-of-state teams in a three-day tournament in Ra'eigh during the Christmas holidays. (Continued on Page 10) 4 HELP!
