A Cause For Disgust
'. Every member of the UNC student
body has cause to be disgusted and
alarmed by certain tactics currently
being employed by opponents of the
National Student Association on this
campus. -
Resorting to the cover of anonymity,
they have issued scathing personal at
tacks on respected campus leaders whose
integrity and honesty cannot be ques
tioned. They have circulated distorted or
completely false "hate sheets' con
cerning NSA, relying heavily on re
prints from YAF bulletins and "Human
'Events," both right-wing sources of
questionable motive and veracity.
They have declined to act with dig
nity or restraint, choosing instead to
originate wild and often slanderous
rumors about NSA, its supporters and
its aims.
They have refused repeated chal
lenges to debate the issue publicly.
Much of the material which they
have circulated is unsigned, further in
dication of their reluctance to enter in-

Our Awards
Here, to brighten your. spirits on the
day of the Clemson game, are our week
ly DTH i I Extinguished , Personalities
riiiMM&lfMi WEEK: A
golfer in a recent stroke-play tourna--ment
who addressed his ball, swung
and missed. Assessing himself a stroke,
he hit it the next try, only to find it
was not his ball, thus? incurring an
other two-stroke penalty.
And our other picks:
POLITICIAN OF THE YEAR: Ala
bama Gov. George Wallace, whose arch
conservative stands in the national
election resulted in a Republican land
slide in his home state which threw
-most of his Democratic congressman
friends out of office, sending five GOP
candidates to Congress for the first
time. In one Alabama county, the Demo
crats lost every election they entered.
PROMISE OF THE WEEK: By Clem
son football coach Frank Howard, who
said he was going to the Carolina
dressing room after this afternoon's
game "to kiss Ken Willard good-by." A
retort from New York Giant's scout
Peahead Walker sums up our senti
ments: "Frank is so ugly his wife goes
on trips with him so she won't have to
kiss HIM good-by."
VOTING TURNOUT OF THE
WEEK: We thought the prize would go
to Glen Lennox, where 1,086 of 1,098
registered voters went to the polls.
However, the prize goes to a precinct
in Madison County, where 2l5 of 208
voters showed up. When the ballot boxes
were opened, there were 233 ballots.
You just can't beat that kind of turn
out, even in Madison County.
to healthy and open argument.
In short, they have run a campaign
against NSA based almost completely
on lies, appeals to bigotry and fear.
When the Nov. 10 referendum on
NSA was first proposed, we aired our
support for NSA and called for a cam
paign based on reason, integrity and
dignity, in the hope that this issue
would not become compounded by emo
tionalism and hate.-
Unfortunately for every honorable,
well-intentioned student, whatever his
stand on NSA, this request has been
ignored.
The campaign has disintegrated in
to a series of attacks from NSA's op
position, replete with name-calling and
smear. It has become apparent that
many of NSA's antagonists are willing
to resort to any means, no matter how
low, to achieve their ends.
In fairness to a few honest opponents
of NSA, we are constrained to point out
that many on the side of disaffiliation
have disavowed the tactics being used
by their less principled counterparts.
They have based their opposition on
well-researched information about NSA,
they have spoken against it in articu
late, reasoned terms and they have
made themselves known.
, I "Nevertheless, so long as unsigned and
unsubstantiated anti-NSA material con
tinues" in evidence, they must be as
signed a share of the ' blame for. allow
ing such disreputable tactics to con--tinue.
. ' : . '
Finally, as a means of contrasting an
honest campaign with a deceitful one,
we commend to you the tactics of NSA's
proponents.
They have distributed well-researched,
carfully documented material about
NSA, including an impressive list of
its accomplishments and a series of en
dorsements from national figures.
They have left no doubt as to their
identity, signing all material which
they have used. The names are those of
respected, conscientious student lead
ers, without exception.
They accepted our offer of a public
debate as a means of bringing to light
the true issues of this campaign.
And, finally, they have shown their
concern for the campus by participating
in dormitory discussions and by taking
their campaign directly to hundreds of
students through personal, door-to-door
contact.
Thus, on the one hand NSA is being
attacked by anonymous purveyors of
hatred and discontent who are too un
scrupulous to come forward and con
test the issue with fact and decency.
On the other hand, NSA is being
supported by student leaders who are
eager to identify themselves and to
supply the truth about NSA's purposes,
activities and members.
Is there any REAL choice, then, as
to which side deserves your support?
Sartre Says No So Did Faulkner
From The Knickerbocker News
Jean-Paul Sartre, the, French playwright-philosopher
one hears about and
reads sometimes, says he will refuse
the Nobel Prize for literature. His pro
nouncement brings to mind another
such William Faulkner of Oxford,
Miss.
The late Mr. Faulkner was blase about
the prize, and when he was awarded it
said he wouldn't bother. He went down
town and 'alerted his daughter, how
ever, so that he would have a traveling
companion on the way to Stockholm,
where the prize is given, out.
The next notation came from Atlanta,
where the Faulkners were stopping
over, now Stockholm-bound. The great
novelist had bought some black socks
in a downtown department store, to go
with his evening clothes.
There's no point in dragging out the
story other than to say that by the time
he arrived in Sweden, Mr. Faulkner was
enthusiastic aboift the award in the ex
treme. He received it, and the news
photos indicate he was smiling at the
time.
Maybe Mr. Sartre should go to At
lanta and buy some socks to get in the
mood.
By HANK PATTERSON
Ed. note: Patterson, a UNC
law student, was vice-president
of the student body, 1960-61, and
spent the year 1962-63 working
as special assistant to the Inter
national Affairs Vice-President of
the National Strident . Association.
The following article describes
NSA's work on the international
scene and tells how UNC is in
volved in this work.
Through the National Student
Association we, the students at
Carolina, speak with and help
other studens the world over.
NSA seeks to strengthen demo
cratic student organizations in
other countries and to promote
within a democratic framework
cooperation among the various
national student communities.
It works to give American stu
dents broader educational experi
ences in international affairs.
The Association works through
bilateral and multilateral rela
tionships with other national stu
dent organizations to effect poli
cies developed by representatives
of member schools at the annual
National Student Congress. As
sistance in implementing pro
gramming is often sought from
advisory committees on which
university educators sit.
International Student
Conference
NSA joined with student organi
zations of other countries in 1950,
principally from Western Europe,
to form the International Student
Conference (ISC).
The ISC was organized as an
alternative structure to the Prague-based
International Union of
Students (IUS) considered by
NSA- to be "a partisan political
instrument in the service of the
Soviet Union's foreign policy'
The IUS is the sponsor of the
chain of "world youth festivals"
which have been condemned by
the National Student Congress for
their partisan and controlled na
ture. The ISC, with its international
headquarters in the Netherlands,
has served since 1950 as a forum
for the free exchange of student
opinion and a structure for the
promotion of international educa
tional and relief activities. Over
seventy national student organi
zations, representing most of the
countries outside Eastern Europe,
have participated with the frame
work of the ISC.
This past July a large delega
tion of European, African and
Latin American student leaders
were brought to Chapel Hill by
NSA on their return from the
Eleventh meeting of the ISC in
New Zealand. This delegation
spent several days in discussions
with UNC students and faculty,
visited with business leaders in
Durham, and met with Governor
Sanford.
World University Service
Since shortly after its forma-,
tion in 1947, NSA has been one
of five national sponsors for
World University Service (WUS).
Other sponsors include the YM
YWCA, National Student Chris
tian Federation, and the B'nai
B'rith Hillel Foundations.
WUS carries on an extensive
program of material assistance
to overseas student communities,
for which a large proportion of
the UNC Campus Chest receipts
are yearly pledged.
Recent NSA-WUS sponsored ac
tivities include a scholarship pro
gram for African students who
were forced to leave Bulgarian
universities in 1962. The UNC
Student Government contributed
to the success of this program,
which has resulted in the attend
ance of some of these African
students at American universi
ties. NSA and WUS also cooperated
in placing Hungarian students in
U.S. universities after the 1956
revolution.
Bilateral Relations
NSA maintains bilateral con
tacts with national student or
ganizations in other countries..
American students, acting as
NSA overseas representatives, at
tend student meetings abToad and
help strengthen relationships be
tween NSA and other national
student unions.
Close cooperation between NSA
and European national unions of
students has meant substantial
discounts on travel and entertain
ment in Europe for American
students using International Stu
dent Identity Cards.
The issuance of Identity Cards
is a service of NSA's student
travel bureau, Educational Trav
el Incorporated, which also makes
available low cost student travel
to Europe, Africa, and Latin
America.
"THAT'S MY BOy ! "
To increase communication be
tween democratic student organi
zations and understanding among
student communities, NSA ex
changes delegations of student
leaders and artists with other na
tional student unions.
A UNC student, Bill Lucas, was
selected by NSA to participate in
a delegation sent to Southeast
Asian university centers for three
weeks last year. The delegation
was financed and programmed
abroad by the Institute of Inter
national Education and the De
partment of State.
This past summer four Amer
ican student folk singers were
chosen by NSA to perform as the
guests of local student unions in
the Middle East and Africa.
In 1961 an Israeli musical
group, touring the U.S. under the
auspices of NSA and the Israeli
national student union, played to
a full audience in the Playmak
ers Theatre here. A second Is
raeli folk dancing team per
formed at Carolina last spring
under the local sponsorship of
the Hillel Foundation and NSA.
Aid to National Unions
NSA carries on a substantial
program of aid to democratic
student organizations abroad
with the support of its member
campuses and the Ford, Rocke
feller and other American
foundations. The Association,
for instance, has furnished
mimeographing equipment for
the new Tanganyikan national
union of students.
NSA has provided training
scholarships for leaders of the
national student union in India.
This democratic student organ
ization has worked to develop
an effective student press serv
ice, to mobilize Indian student'
energies in support of the na
tional defense against Red Chi
nese aggression, and to expose
the real nature of a minority
group which purports to repre
sent Indian students at com
munist sponsored international
student meetings.
NSA has given assistance to
the illiteracy projects of the
democratic student union of
Chile. During .the past aca
demic year, . the Stray Greeks
at UNC raised funds to sup
port the Chilean project.
In cooperation with other
national student organizations,
NSA collected money for medi
cal supplies and food for stu
dent refugees in Tunisian and
Moroccan refugee camps dur
ing the Algerian war. Fraterni
ties and sororities at UNC,
through an IFC-Panhellenic
Council project, contributed
$300 for this purpose in 1961.
International Exchange
The generous support of
Ford and other national foun
dations has enabled NSA to
establish an extensive interna
tional student exchange pro
gram. More than 25 foreign stu
dents attend American univer
sities today on NSA scholar
ship grants. Ten foreign stu
dents have studied in Chapel
Hill on NSA scholarships; one
will complete the Ph.D. decree
this fall.
Cecilia Gajardo, NSA schol
arship grantee from Chile, fre
quently addressed dormitory
and sorority groups at Carolina
last year.
A special NSA program now
makes available scholarships
to enable qualified students
from Portuguese-held African
territories to study at Ameri
can universities.
A UNC student, Sid Wald
man, Is currently studying at
a Polish university for a year
on a NSA-Polish national stu
dent union academic exchange
project supported by Ameri
can foundations.
Domestic Activity
In addition to it1? overseas
activity, NSA sponsors an im
pressive variety of domestic
international programs.
NSA conducts a largo num
ber of intercollegiate confer
ences dealing with interna
tional subjects. Several have
been held in North Carolina in
recent years.
The Association has in the
past sponsored and made travel
grants to American student
journalists to attend national
conferences on world affairs.
These conferences have been
supported by Time and Read
ers Digest and other founda
tions. Fifteen full scholarships are
granted annually by NSA for
students from member schools
to attend an intensive seminar
in the summer months to
study international relations
and world student politics.
UNC students have participat
ed in these seminars from
which come much of the
American leadership in free
world student organizations.
NSA is engaged in research
in international student pro
gramming techniques and
study abroad on several Ameri
can university campuses. The
Association also makes avail
able to student groups at mem
ber schools prepared mate
rials for programming in the
international affairs area.
Perhaps of special note is
the impetus provided by NSA
to the establishment of the
Peace Corps in organizing a
national conference to dis
cuss and support its creation in
1961. NSA representatives have
since served in Peace Corps
advisory posts.
.National student, religious
organizations, the YM-YWCA,
the 4-II Clubs, the CCUN, the
Young Democratic Clubs, and
other student and youth groups
work with NSA in promoting
international programs through
mutual membership in the U.S.
Youth Council. The U.S. Youth
Council is the recognized repre
sentative of American youth in
international circles.
NSA is also associated with
the U.S. Commission for
UNESCO, the Council on Stu
dent Travel, and the American
Association for the United Nations.
Moderates Unite
In Fifth Column
Letters To The Editors
Ref erenduni Issue Rages. On
Maupin Article
Called Misguided
Editors, The Tar Heel:
I was rather shocked when I
saw in Friday's DTH that Ar
mistead Maupin had departed
from his role of satirist and
attempted to say something on
a subject he knows nothing
about NSA.
All of NSA's resolutions are
definitely non-political. If they
were not, NSA would lose its
tax-exempt status granted to
educational groups.
The type of resolution it
does pass is strictly educa
tional. NSA has such programs
as tutorial projects and literary
projects, much like the kind of
work that the YMCA and Stu
dent Government are doing
this year in the Chapel Hill
area.
These projects help unedu
cated people in the community
and they are helpful in the
student's education. He or she
can learn a lot from teaching
illiterate people to read and
can get a good deal of satis
faction from it as well.
Surely Mr. Maupin can not
be opposed to something as hu
manitarian as this. Many stu
dents on campus, including
myself, have done just this
type of work with the North
Carolina Volunteers this sum
mer. This is not political and it is
certainly an area open to stu
dents who really care about
learning about people.
Mr. Maupin's rejection of
this is ridiculous.

Orientation Study
Helped By NSA
Editors, The Tar Heel:
Realizing that NSA is a cri
tical issue on this campus now,
and will be in the coming elec
tion, I would like to express
my feelings toward the mat
ter. , As secretary of Orientation
Reform Committee last year
and Co-Chairmen of the com
mittee this year, we have dealt
with NSA to a large extent.
Last year, we sent for infor
mation regarding other college
orientation programs which
enabled us to receive critical
comparisons of comparable
programs. These schools ranged
all the way from California, to
New York.
The following will' illustrate
my point:
1) N SA publishes a seven
page orientation pamphlet
with suggestions concerning
a program in relation to
size and type of college.
2) NSA publishes a pamphlet,
"Some Considerations of
Freshman Orientation Pro
grams." 3) NSA publishes separate pub
lications from various
schools concerning the
housing problem in regard
to counselors.
All these previous publica
tions were used last year on
the committee in analyzing and
evaluating Carolina's Orienta
tion program of 1964..
From this evaluation, many
new ideas were obtained, kicked
around, and hopefully will be
initiated into next year's pro
gram. For example the possi
bility of Freshmen counselors
living with their counselees
for the entire orientation week
which would certainly give the
freshmen a more personal in
troduction to Carolina life.
The Orientation Reform
Committee would not have
been the same without NSA
and I personally feel it would
be a crime to disaffliate. NSA
is too valuable to our student
government.
Judy Grape
Co-Chairman of Orientation
Reform Committee
By BOB COLVER
He walked cautiously down
the cold foggy alley, his foot
steps echoing off the dripping
stone walls. He stopped at a
heavy oak door that led into a
cellar and knocked once, wait
ed to the count of four and
knocked twice. A peephole slid
back and a round red eye
peered out at him.
"Yes?" the eye whispered.
"I I want to join," he whis
pered back, hesitantly.
The peephole slid shut, and
in a moment the door creaked
back.
"Come in," the little owner
of the eye said, and motioned
him into a smelly smoke
filled cellar room -where sev
eral others were hunched over
tables.
"Are you a 'have' or a 'have
not'?" the little man rasped
warily.
"Well, actually," he mum
bled, "I'm a little in between
I think!"
The little man grunted and
motioned him to a curtained
booth in the back.
They sat, drinking old fiz-zled-out
beer and talking.
"You say you want to join,
eh?" the little man said, wip
ing a smear of foam off his
.lip.
"Yes, I'm sure now."
"You realize the conse
quences. We are called a sub
versive group by many, and if
you are ever found out, we
cannot be responsible."
"I I I know the conse
qences. But T believe in our
cause!" '
"Very well. I will ' have to
ask you the routine questions,
you understand." The little man
took a rumpled sheet of paper
from his. pocket.
He watched the little man -
unfold the paper slowly, quiet
ly. He must pass the test, he
thought. He believed iri it so.
"Now," said the little man,
squinting and pushing up
wrinkles in his face, "You are
neither a 'have' nor a 'have
not' I believe you said."
He nodded, solemnly.
"Do you or have you ever
put' faith in 'conventional nu
clear weapons'?"
"No."
"Do you believe in Medi
care?" "No."
"Are you against Social Se
curity?" "No."
"Do you favor selling the
TVA?"
"No."
"Do you favor government
control of utilities?"
"No."
"Do you favor segregation of
the races?"
"No."
"Do you support wholeheart
edly the Civil Rights Bill?"
"No."
The little man sighed and
smiled a little. "Well," he said,
"you passed."
- He was happy, and he smiled
even more than the little man.
"Now," said the little man,
"raise your right hand and re
peat after me: I hereby swear
that I am not a member of
either the Liberal Faction nor
the Conservative Faction but
am fully dedicated to the prin
ciples of . . ." (the little man
took a deep breath and threw
back his shoulders proudly)
". . . MODERATISM!"
The little man held his proud
pose for a moment, then let the
air slowly ou of his lungs and
shook his head sadly. "And
some " he sighed " some call
it Treason!"
