Photo by Jock Lauterer Students 'Sell9 University To Legislators And Public A group of Carolina's student leaders are hard at work selling the University of North Carolina to state legislators, civic leaders and private citizens. In the pro cess, they're accomplishing a lot toward better understanding of the institution and its problems. Most of the task so far. has fal-; len to the members of the State Affairs Committee, chaired by Al Sneed, a senior from Pinehurst.' "Our purpose is education, pure and simple," says Sneed. "A lot of North Carolinians are not real ly aware of what the University is trying to do, or what its pro blems are. Our job is to tell them." The telling is often done face to face. "We've had a number of stu dents make speeches to civic clubs all over North Carolina this year," Sneed says. "We've found that people are eager to hear about their University, and they are especially impressed when a student is willing to come and talk about it. "We deal with a lot of subjects the increasing enrollment, the budget, special projects under taken by the University, and of course some more controversial topics, such as the Speaker Ban Law. Sneed's committee members have also spent many hours in conference with members of the General Assembly. "Legislators are like everyone else," Sneed says. "Many of them need more information about our problems and how students feel about them." "Take the Speaker Ban, for in stance,' Sneed continued. "We were a little skeptical about talk ing to legislators at first, but we've found them willing to lis ten, for the most part. I don't know how many opinions we will change, but at least we are mak ing our position known." Not Alone Sneed pointed out that his is not the - only group campaigning hard for the University. i "Just last weekend,", he said, "Hugh Stevens, Bob Spearman and a group , of students repre senting, the Greensboro and Ral eigh campuses met with the Med ford Committee, vhich is the Board of Trustees's special com mittee on the Speaker Ban. The students gave their views on the law, presented some petitions supporting the Trustees' position, and answered questions. Firehug Hits Third Time i ! RALEIGH (AP) Officers pressed their search Thursday for a firebug who has set fires j in several buildings at N. C. ; State. He struck , again Wednesday night, setting a fire in the base ment of Pullen Hall. It was discovered by a student and ex tinguished by firemen before doing more than than minor damage. Asst. Fire Chief J. W. God win said the fire appeared to be deliberately set in a box of rags found in the building. It burned through a section of flooring and destroyed a win dow curtain. "The material supplied by the students will be of immense value to the Medford Committee when the General Assembly is ap proached." In addition to special presenta tions like this one, a number of students have made personal visits to their legislators ' and to other prominent citizens. "These are students who are sufficiently interested in the Uni versity to give their time in its behalf," he says. He notes that it is impossible to measure the progress that has actually been made. "It's all up to the General As sembly," he says. "Most of them understand that we need more money, but the budget is limited. We simply want them to do as much as possible to support the University." There's no doubt, says Sneed, as to which issue is the most difficult to deal with. "The Speaker Ban is tough," he says, "because it is very, very popular with the public. A lot of people think that if you're against the law, you're in favor of Com munism. We're trying to convince them that this is not the case." In general, he thinks that the University's public image is not what it should be, though the fault does not lie entirely with the institution. "There's a story going around Eastern North Carolina that we have 'two flagpoles on campus and we fly the U.N. flag on one of them, six inches higher than Old Glory. You can see how tough it is to sell Chapel Hill when you spend half of your time clean ing up ridiculous lies like that." ' From DTI I Associated Press Wires A BILL to make Charlotte College a fourth branch of the Consolidated University ran into a barrage of questions before the House Higher Education Committee Thursday. The questions came from Reps. A. A. Zollicoffer of Vance, Paul J. Story of McDowell and Allen Barbee of Nash. They indicated they had reservations about the cost of converting the college into a university unit. Their questions delayed action on the bill which the committee will consider again next Tuesday. During the discussion, Dr. William C. Archie, director of higher education, told the legislators that upwards of 25,000 North Carolina young people will oe aeniea a chance to attend college during the next few years unless something is done to meet the situation. "We've simply got to do something," Archie said. "We are terribly behind and unless something is done we will be hope lessly behind." Zollicoffer asked how much . it would cost to establish a medical school and an engineering school on the new Charlotte College campus. He said he understood people of Charlotte wanted both. President .William C. Friday of the Consolidated University, a staunch backer of the bill, said he was unable to answer the question. He added that "whether or not there will be a school of medicine or a school of engineering will require extensive study over a period of years." Story asked if the new college would not require $50 million worth of new facilities within a 10-year period. Friday said he thought the figure was too high. GOV. DAN MOORE said Thursday he would not recommend any changes in the state's liquor laws to permit sale of whisky by the drink and operation of a distillery. He told a morning news conference North Carolina's ABC laws, allowing liquor sales through package stores and forbidding the manufacture of liquor, are working well. The governor said he met with dry forces Wednesday and told them "our present ABC system is working satisfactorily arid that I would not recommend any changes that would take away any of its authority." A corporation is being formed by a Raleigh group to build a distillery, if the 1937 Alcoholic Beverage Control Act is altered to admit the distillation of whisky, THE $300 MILLION road bond issue bill was approved Thurs day by House and Senate Bonds committees, but Onslow County lawmakers sounded the first cry of discontent. The bill now goes to the general assembly's Finance Com mittees where a fight could develop over how the highway funds are divided. The bill was tightly drawn to show where every penny of the $300 million goes. . Half the money would be spent on primary roads. The " otherlSO million Would be" divided equally between urban street and rural secondary road construc tion. ''' SECRETARY OF DEFENSE Robert S. McNamara described the Viet Nam crisis Thursday as "grave but by no means hope less," arid expressed doubt the Red Chinese would step in with a major attack. Despite Peking's militancy, McNamara said in a report to the House Armed Services Committee, the Red Chinese "have shown great caution when confronted with a determined display of military power." Both Peking and Moscow, he added, can be expected to stir up as much trouble as they can "whenever and wherever they can do so safely, without a 'head on' collision with U. S. military power." A MOB OF communist-inspired youths attacked the U. S. consulate in Medan Thursday in the fifth such assault on official American properties in Indonesia in the last six months. As in the past, U. S. diplomats protested. The outburst at Medan, a Sumatran trade and manufacturing center 850 miles northwest of Jakarta, was accompanied by an indication that President Sukarno's government intends to take over supervision of U.S. -owned rubber estates in northern Sum atra. About 700 demonstrators stormed the consulate grounds. THE CAMERA-CARRYING Ranger 8 spacecraft is on target for a Saturday landing on the Sea of Tranquility, scientists said Thursday. And, they added, the pictures it is expected to radio back should be better than the 4,316 transmitted by Ranger 7 last July 31. Harris Schuirmier, Ranger project manager, said Ranger 8 and its six TV cameras would impact somewhere within a 70 mile by 45 mile area on a broad plain in the central portion of the right half of the moon as seen from earth. T wo UNC ;iideiit Elected To Office Alt First Session Area Coordinator Says: 3irch Gets YomtMuil Support By MIKE YOPP DTH Managing Editor Reception of the John Birch Society among Southern youth has been "excellent," according to William Highsmith Jr. society district coor dinator for the upper South. - "We're getting more and more members , under 22," he said Wednesday night in an interview after a talk to several hundred stu dents in Graham Memorial lounge. ' "I'd guess about 40 per cent of our mem bers (in this area) , are of . the college age group," said Steve Conger, society coordinator for Eastern North Carolina. ' Conger,' who accompanied Highsmith, esti mated the average age of members in his area as "about 36 or 37." No Chapter Here There is no society chapter here, he said, but some Chapel Hill residents and students are members. Conger said he knew of no move ment to start a chapter here. He said in 1963 he came to the University to address a group he thought was interested in joining the society. Instead of interested members, "Larry Phelps and that crowd show ed up." He called the meeting a "fiasco." Conger said he considers UNC third among United States universities in terms of "com munist activity." This is evidenced, he said, by the activities of Phelps with the Progressive Labor Move ment and the former editorial policy of the Daily Tar Heel. In 1963, he charged, the DTH "promoted much the same things as the Daily Worker." . He said there is "a great deal of commun ist activity in North Carolina." However, he pointed out, the society does not concern itself with this activity on a state and local level. Individual members may work against local "communist activity," but each chapter gears its. efforts toward national goals such as the "Impeach Earl Warren campaign." Conger said that the coordinated nationwide campaigns are "more effective" than having chapters work toward different local goals. Klan Hit Highsmith loosed a vicious attack against the Ku Klux Klan. He condemned it as a 'hate organization, a violent organization and an . un-American organization." "We are not interested in having them in (the society) at all," he shouted. He also attacked the Minutemen, a right wing action group, saying the society does not approve of their tactics. He called the moves thev advocate "ridiculous." He condemned other things., Among them were Martin Luther King, the United Nations, NATO and evil. . , . Highsmith charged that King has 'been responsible for more deaths on our streets than any other man." He said King "has advanced the communist program more than any other American."

Note The charge against Zarro is part of the Law School's annual mock trial.) Lawyers for UNC football star) Richie Zarro, arrested Tuesday on a peeping torn charge, say that surprise evidence to be given in tonight's law school trial will "remove any doubt of the de fendant's innocence." Zarro was arrested and charged with spying on coed Elizabeth Taylor through her Cobb Dormi tory window as she dressed for bed. The action is part of the Phi Alpha Delta law fraternity's annual mock trial. The arrest was the result of a five-day investigation by Chapel Hill police. Zarro kept quiet all day yes terday at the advice of his law yer, law student Lane Brown, and refused to comment when asked about his participation in the al leged crime. Brown said that he feels that after the surprise evidence is presented the state will no longer have a case against Zarro. Zarro was apprehended by Cha pel Hill police after they noticed the behavior of a light in his residence hall windaw as Missj Taylor dressed for bed. Miss Taylor had received two separate anonymous letters from someone who said he had watch ed her dress for bed. The letters were typed and described accur ately her behavior on the nights in question. A telescope was found propped in Zarro's window when Police entered. Zarro claimed that tii was part of an astronomy course he is taking. A typewriter in Zarro's room matched the typewriter which produced the anonymous notes received by the prosecutor. The trial, presided over by Judge Winfred Ervin of Charlotte will be at 8 pjn. tonight in the Law School courtroom in Man ning Hall. Students interested m trying out for the jury should come to j the courtroom at 4 p.m. today for examination by lawyers. Student Body President Bob Spearman was also to be invited but he will be in Raleigh today presiding over the State Stu dent Legislature. He indicated yesterday that he will neither attend the rally nor send a representative. .Ned Martin, Interfraternity Council president, said yester day that he .has been formally invited to the rally. "I'm not sure yet, but I may go for a little while. I don't intend to take part in the debate," he said. - . ; Martin said he received the invitation as both IFC president and Sigma Alpha Epsilon presi dent. Jim Light is now SAE president, however, and he said he has made no plans to attend the meeting. Gardner, a UNC graduate stu dent in English, announced plans for the rally Monday after an . alleged incident last Friday. He claimed that he and Wilmot P. K. Hage, an African student from Benedict College in Columbia, S. C, were called names and insulted by students in front of the SAE house. Gardner announced his inten tion to seek legal action against the IFC and SAE fraternity for personal damages caused by the "insult." He said the rally was planned to protest the incident and its handling by University officials, discriminatory clauses in fra ternity constitutions, the Speak er Ban Law and the alleged dropping of James Farmer from the Carolina Forum speaker list. complish greater tilings today be cause we have a strong founda tion on which to build." "North Carolinians," he said, "have a big responsibility today to build on that foundation. It is a responsibility we are going to meet." "In a few years," the governor continued, "that responsibility will rest partially on those of you who come here today as students. The Student Legislature is an effective means of gaining ex perience, and that is why it is good to have you here." Moore cautioned the students, however, saying "there is a lot to learn about this business off government." The sooner you gain this experience, the sooner you will be ready to accept the public trust." Other Elections In other elections concluded at the opening session. Bob Kcrlin of East Carolina was acclaimed President Pro Tern of the Senate, while Mary Damercn of Salem won the post of Recording Clerk, Cullen Bull of North Carolina Col lege was named Reading Clerk, also by acclamation.
