WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1965" Volume 72, Number 91 mm - ' J) D CC Bill Clears Hurdle Senate Committee Reports Favorably RALEIGH UP) The state Sen ate's Committee on Higher Edu cation reported favorably yes terday on the bill to make Charlotte College part of the Consolidated University. The committee met shortly after a public hearing during which the . proposal received glowing praise from backers while legislators from the East and West expressed second thoughts. Sen. Tom White of Lenoir chairman of the powerful Sen ate . Appropriations Committee was the only member of the Higher Education Committee to , vote against the Charlotte Col lege bill. The House Higher Edu cation Committee will consider the measure Thursday. Dr. William F. Archie, state director of higher education, Addison Beese, chairman of Charlotte College Board of Trustees, and Sen. Irwin Belk of Mecklenburg were among those giving the bill vigorous Archie said: "It is inevitable that this large and densely populated section of the state should have a university cam pus. The sooner Charlotte Col lege and the University of North Carolina are joined to gether, the better." Archie came under heavy questioning from Sen. White and Reps. Paul Story of Mc Dowell and Lacy H. Thornburg of Jackson. White asked: "When the State Board of - Higher Education passed the resolution backing this measure, did it consider if the state can afford another campus of the University of North Carolina8?" ;-: - i Daylight Saving: Time A bill to place North Caro lina on Daylight Saving Time was introduced in the House. Rep. Claude Hamrick of For syth sent forward the measure which has the backing of the state's broadcasters. It would place North Carolina on day light time from the first Sunday after May 30, to the Sunday preceding Labor Day. Hamrick, representative of populous Forsyth County, said he expected opposition from the agricultural interests in the state but thought the bill will at least get to the floor again Road Bond State Highway Director W. F, Babcock said the proposed $300 million road bond issue was al most a necessity for the state "When you have that kind of need," he said, a bond issue is almost a necessity. SSL MEETING Delegates, alternates and ob servers planning to attend State Student Legislature to morrow through Saturday must attend the last meeting at 5 p.m. today in Roland Parker to discuss final arrangements. No Berkeley By ALAN BANOV DTH Staff Writer A visiting University of Cali fornia at Berkeley professor thinks UNC "has a more fortu nate situation" with student politics than his school, but "wouldn't say it can't happen here." Professor of Agricultural Eco nomics Siegried Von Wantrup, working in the Public Health School this month, said in an interview that UNC's smaller student body (compared with Berkeley's 27,000) is an advan tage. He also said that student gov ernment seems more active here. Wantrup said he had talked with Chancellor. Paul Sharp, Consolidated University Presi dent William Friday and Vice President D o n a 1 d Anderson about the Berkeley crisis. "They are alert to such prob lems," he asserted, "and are aware of the difficulties of a big university. "Basic problems of de-personalization in a big university will be with us for a long while. Students and faculty should get together to iron them out." The faculty at Berkeley voted, approximately 850 to 150, Want l9 I 1 r- -.-.-.- - y--y , ' 7 v; - - - ' ' ' r ? s , t I d .

Faculty members and most of the University departments ' will meet with Symposium leaders during the next three weeks to narrow the field of topics, ac cording to Symposium Interim Committee Chairman George Butler. The Symposium is a bi-annual meeting of educators, gov ernment leaders and cultural experts and features a week of speeches and discussion groups before the student body. Written suggestions for topics should be submitted to Butler at 132 S.

"Some of us didn't pay too much attention at first to their gripes. I wasn't there in Sep tember when it started I was on business in Washington: "It started apparently when students set up tables for col lecting funds for civil rights work. They were in a walking alley outside a gate, and the Dean of Student Affairs made certain regulations about their interference with traffic. "There were so many moves and countermoves after that," Wantrup said, that it was often confusing. But, basically it; seemed a "relatively minor problem. Administrations should not 'officialize' so often." It was "not really a free speech movement,'' the profes-? sor said. "T think there were some deeper, underlying, legiti mate problems the de-personalization of the big 'multi versity. " " ' ' .' However, "something ' - good should come out of the Berkeley experience," Wantrup "' asserted. "We learned that we might have approach it in a spirit of ' t- during the morning. The try failed when their banner stay ed furled. . An ingenious device, consist ing of a brick and a package of kitchen matches, was used to start a banner along a slide from a tree some 75 feet west of Steele, which houses the Book Exchange: ' But the matches were also supposed, to set . off three fire crackers which would unfurl the banner. OG slipped up here, as it forgot to fray the fuses of the firecrackers, and they didn't go off. Monday night two notes, each addressed to an editor, appeared in the DTH offices. "OG Will Strike!" it grandly proclaimed, and put its next paragraph in verse: "Where students get took, By the green-backed rook." And a final note: "YOU will see it." The DTH editors cer tainly did see it, as they were the ones who finally exposed the message. . The message was largely a blast at the Book Exchange, just as their earlier venture in Y-Court in January. But they didn't forget the basketball team, and the banner showed a somewhat anemic player. The banner contained some 500 flyers decrying the "ma licious capitalism" of the Book Exchange, which, according to OG's message, "has sinned ter ribly, and too long." Attitade Here greater unity in the community. "I think students are mature citizens and should be treated as such by the administration and faculty." But the faculty vote shouldn't be misinterpreted, he said, as it has been by some. They are not turning the school over to the students, anud they're not Communists," Wantrup smiled. "The faculty certainly would oppose any move to push an American university in the di rection of South American uni versities," which are famous for student agitation. Most demands from the stu dents have been met, Wantrup explained. "The board of regents has not given the final decision," he said. "But they could hardly afford to slap both the students and faculty in the face." , Berkeley's acting chancellor is "a young man with broad understanding," Wantrup as serted. "There is a very good chance - under his leadership that there will be a permanent solution." He : noted that, ! contrary to popular misconception, students were not jailed, only arrested and fingerprinted. They were University .For Restrictive Greek Rules Are Explored By JOHN GREENB ACKER DTH Staff Writer The question of discrimina tory clauses in the by-laws of campus fraternal organizations was discussed in a special ses sion of the Faculty Committee on Sororities and Fraternities yesterday, but no decision was reached. "The problem of discrimina tory clauses was discussed to day, just as it has been since last October," Dean of Men William G. Long said after the closed session. Long said yesterday's meet ing was "definitely related" to last Friday's incident near Big Fraternity Court, in which a Liberian student delegate to the Mock United Nations was al legedly insulted because of his race and tribal dress. "This incident has certainly brought the problem of discri minatory clauses to our atten tion," Long said. "The Univer sity would be ostrich-like to ig nore this problem, which is facing numerous institutions across .the : country. "Today is obviously one in which we ' must address our selves to this problem," Long said. V - ." ' Long said the problem of the clauses ' was Tone of " a minority of fraternities and sororities on rflmDus." An estimated five houses on campus still have the clauses. .. . "We do have a policy, which is over 10 years old, that states any new fraternity or sorority seeking admission on campus must not have a discrimina tory clause in its by-laws," he said. "The administration would applaud any action by a f ra ternity or sorority to rid them selves of such a clause," Long said. "Unfortunately some fra ternities can't arrange this with their national offices unless the University tells them to do so. "This puts those fraternities in a bad spot," Long said. Interfraternity Council Presi dent Ned Martin, who attended the meeting, said, "If any con clusion is reached by the com mittee, it will be brought before the IFC." Commenting on the incident. Long said, "I have categorically condemned that kind of con duct, as I have anything that demeans the individuality of another human being."

But the court case is still pending for their offense of sit-ting-in at the administration building, he explained. Wantrup, who came to Amer ica from pre-Hitler Germany 30 years ago, said "intense politi cal interest by students is noth ing new to me." The onetime instructor at the University of Bonn said social ist, Nazi and rightist groups were all active on campus and "frequently came to blows." "But students fought among themselves and not against the administration. Students acted as citizens young citizens who were more . excitable, of course. "The present political situa tion on campuses reminds me of when I was a student in Ger many," Wantrup reminisced. "When I received my master's degree at the University of H linois students were apathetic "But now students here know more about European universi ties than a generation a There is more political involve ment. The explanation is just European influence; the civil rights movement has teen influential." 1 Proles t Th Police is ff '': V Photo, by Lauterer ONE INTENDED VICTIM ' ... . the Lady herself It?s All Settled Quietly; SSL Keeps Meeting Place By HUGH STEVENS DTH Co-Editor . The State Student Legisla ture has apparently been suc cessful in holding off an evic tion notice from the N. C. De partment of Archives and His tory, and will be allowed to meet in the State Capitol later this week. Pat Taylor, Speaker of- the House in the 1965 General As sembly, mediated the spat be tween SSL and Dr. Christopher Crittenden, Archives and His tory director. He obtained a compromise settlement Monday night with out bringing the issue to the floor of the General Assembly. Resolution Planned Earlier, SSL leaders had in dicated that they planned to have some friendly legislators introduce a resolution on be half of the group. Taylor conferred with Crit tenden and two North Carolina State students, J. W. (Butch) Fields and Terry Lowder, early Monday evening to work out a compromise. Bob Spearman, SSL President, also talked with Taylor and Crittenden yester day, when the final agreement was obtained.

"I wanted to draw attention to the condition of my race," the accused leader of the bizarre con spiracy was quoted in an arrest complaint. Also apprehended in a dramatic climax to an absorbing campaign of undercover police counter activity was an attractive, blue-eyed Canadian blonde, reportedly well known in United Nations social circles. Only last month, she vainly sought employment with the international organization. The woman was said to have brought explosives to this country for the planned dynamite strike against the three deeply cherished symbols of this nation's heritage. Police Commissioner Michael J. Murphy told newsmen of the quartet: "We know they have made contact in other cities. We have no idea how many people might be involved." In readiness for the fantastic explosive adventure, which m?y have been timed with Washington's birthday in mind, were 22 sticks of dynamite, with detonating caps. They were beings transferred from a Bronx parking lot to an automobile when police sprung a carefully-laid trap.' The plot . was said to have been uncovered by a New York. City Negro patrolman, Raymond Wood, who infiltrated a Negro extremist organization known -as' the Black Liberation Front, v ; : Murphy said Wood's original contact with the group came at a United Nations party given by the Cuban delegation. to Dr. Crittenden for this deci sion in our favor," Spearman said yesterday. He also praised Taylor for his part in, arranging a friendly settlement. The issue began earlier this week when Crittenden informed Spearman that a 1961 law would prohibit use of the Capitol by the student group. Attempt Unsuccessful After attempting unsuccess fully to get the ruling changed defensive Coach Resigns Position Assistant football coach Leon (Bud) Carson has resigned his position to accept a job as defensive coach at the University of South Carolina. USC Athletic Director and head football coach Marvin Bass said Carson would be in complete charge of the Gamecock's defense. "I'm a Carolina man and will regret leaving Chapel Hill," Carson told the DTH yesterday, "But I have been here eight years and felt it best for my future if I made the change. "My years at Carolina have been beneficial and I hold coach Jim Hickey in the highest respect. This was just a better op portunity and I felt I had to take it. We (South Carolina) don't play Carolina next year I don't think I could have taken the job if we did." Carson, 34, is a native of Freeport, Pa., and was a defensive specialist at UNC under Carl Snavely from 1943-51. His younger brother, Gib, also played halfback for the Tar Heels from 1958-61. After graduating from Carolina in 1952, he joined the Marines and played at Quantico for two years before launching his coach ing career. In his first coaching job, Carson lost only two games in two years as head mentor at Scottsdale, Pa. high school. Then he joined Jim Tarum's staff at Carolina in 1957, serving under Tatum for two years and under Hickey six years. During the Tar Heels Gator Bowl Championship year of 1963, Carson's work as defen sive backfield coach brought him national recognition. For a while, the Tar Heels defen sive backfield led the nation in pass defense. ... Carson has also served as a scout and recruiter for the Tar Heels and has been very suc cessful in recruiting in Pennsyl vania.

He refused to interpret the statute broadly unless ordered to do so by the governor or the General As sembly. The students had prepared a resolution for introduction Mon day night and were consulting with legislators when Taylor ar ranged the conference with Crittenden.

Gardner's re quest for permission to have a protest rally on campus. Dean of Men William G. Long said yesterday that the rally could be held at noon Fri day in Y-Court. Gardner, working through CORE, UNC-NAACP, the Free Speech Movement (FSM) and the .Student Peace Union, said the rally will be in protest of the alleged incident Friday in volving a visiting Liberian stu dent, the administration's han dling of the incident, racial discrimination in fraternity constitutions, the dropping of James Farmer (national direc tor of CORE) from the Carolina Forum's spring speaker list and the Speaker Ban Law. Invitations Extended He said yesterday that1 invi tations are being extended to the presidents of the Interfra ternity Council, Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity, the student body and to Chancellor Paul F. Sharp and President William C, Friday to attend the rally. "They are being invited as honored and respected guests who will be accorded every courtesy and given 1 the oppor tunity to participate in free and open discussion of all issues. Any person will be free to speak at the rally," Gardner said. It is "likely," he said, that CORE chairman Floyd McKis sick will speak. He said Monday he is seeking legal action for "personal dam ages" against SAE fraternity and the IFC after the incident last weekend where he says he and Wilmot P. K. Hage were called names and insulted by students in front of the SAE house. Hage, a Liberian student at Benedict College in Colum bia, S. C, was in tribal dress at the time of the alleged insult. Hage and Gardner protested the incident to student and ad ministrative officials, and Hage said he might file a complaint with the Liberian embassy in Washington. The embassy told the DTI I yesterday that Hage contacted it in January about getting a Liberian speaker for Benedict College, but "we have not heard from him about this matter." No Threats Concerning the Friday rally, Gardner said, "We are not threatening demonstrations. Be yond the rally we may seek peaceful, legal and we hope re sponsible means of redress." He would not elaborate on these "means of redress," say ing the details will be given at the Friday meeting. "Our meeting Friday, while we will protest certain parts of the University, is simply an open forum. We feel unorgan ized events of this kind should be more frequent. There is a tendency among students to feel that discussions have to take place under planned and carefully arranged circum stances. We'd like to see more Hyde Park-type meetings." Gardner said, "We are not at the point of commencing dem onstrations." Asked if they were approach ing the point, he said, "I can't comment on that. There is really no need for that point to be reached." Wcn't Participate He said he would not partici pate in Berkeley-type demon strations here. Arrangements for telephone communication to sympathy ral lies at Berkeley, Detroit, Syra cuse and Brandeis during the rally here Friday are still being arranged. "Since it will only be 9 a.m. in Berkeley at the time of the rally, time is a problem but we're working on the phone plan." Gardner said the Speaker Ban Law will be discussed at the rally. "Our opposition to the law is certainly not unique. I person ally know of no one who has (Continued on Page 3)
