Malcolm X
UNC Visit
Recalled
Black Nationalist
Leader Shot Sunday
Sunday, Feb. 22, 1965, will be
noted in the small type of his
tory books as the day Malcolm
X, ex-Muslim and leader of the
Afro-American Union, was mur
dered in a ballroom in upper
Manhattan.
, Yesterday New York police
kept a wary guard in Harlem,
hoping to avoid a gunfight be
tween avengers of Malcolm and
members of the Black Muslim
sect, which he quit in 1963 after
jcharging the sect was "not ac
tive enough."
Spoke Here
Friday, April 19, 1963, Mal
colm X came to . Chapel Hill.
He was still a member of the
Muslim movement, and profess
ed allegiance to Elijah Muham
rhed, the "Phophet of the Mus
lim." ,
With him came a dozen body
guards, all dressed in suits and
a scowl.
Malcolm X was due to speak
in Howell Hall, but the crowd
that showed up prompted Henry
Mayer, chairman of the spon
soring Carolina Forum, to hur
riedly, arrange for the speech
to be held in Memorial Hall.
, When the participants took
the stage, the biggest hall on
campus was 90 per cent full.
Debate Planned
The program was supposed to
be a debate between Malcolm
and Floyd McKissick, national
chairman of the Congress of
Racial Equality and a lawyer in
Durham. It turned out to be
all Malcolm, and McKissick's
speech seemed out of place.
Malcolm spoke of his move
ment, and the people who were
his followers. He told, of the
enforced cleanliness of the Mus
lim, how they were not allowed
to drink or smoke and the strict
penalties for adultery or other
violations against the Muslims
moral code.- - v " . . .
The Muslims, he said, wanted
'separation, not segregation,"
and would try to get the Federal
Government to give them land
'in the southeastern part of the
United States."
V "The white man will be de
stroyed, and we don't want to
be around when it happens." A
year later he was to urge Ne
groes to form "rifle clubs" to
better fight the "devil white
man? for civil rights.
" He told the audience the
Jegro would soon pass the
vhite man in technology and in
telligence. This would happen,
he said, because the Muslims
would get a land of their own
and there prove they were su
perior. j 1 ' No Chance
' "The Negro doesn't have a
chance in America today," he
added. "The white man has
put our people at such a disad
vantage they can't show their
true superiority." ,
Malcolm also gave the audi
ence his ideas on contemporary
American political thought.
"The white liberal is foxy
where the white conservative is
usually honest and lets the Ne
gro know what he thinks of him.
. "The difference between lib
erals and conservatives," he
added, "is that the liberals
have developed the art of using
the Negro."
When the speeches and count
er - speeches ended, Malcolm
walked off the stage and came
but in front of Memorial's or
chestra pit so he "could be
closer to the people and let them
hear me better."
; Bodyguards Converge
As he came around, several
of his bodyguards gathered
about him, and as he stood be
fore the students he could be
heard, but not very well seen.
--.He patiently answered the
students' questions, almost al
ways bending his answer to ex
tol the virtues of the "Honor
able Elijah Muhammed."
And then he left, his body
guards still clustered about
him.
iAnd as he walked past South
5 tSUllUing lO IU5 tai I" mwv
head parking lot, he answered
the questions of several report
; ers in his calm, polished fas-
hion.
I -v "Yes," he said just before he
stepped into his car, "someday
1 they, will try and kill me. It
will be the white liberals who
will try. because they know
what I say is the truth and will
eventually hurt their campaign
of using the Negro."
-, And on Sunday they did kill
Malcolm X, leader of the Afro
American Union and past
spokesman for the Muslims. The
-olice arrested one man and
ought four others. All are Ne
Toes. Fred Seely.

DTH
By KERRY SIPE
DTH Staff Writer
Seventy-two years ago today, The Tar Heel, a scrawny, un
impressive organ of the Carolina Athletics Association dared
to announce that its columns would "be open to discussion on all
appropriate subjects with an endeavor to do full justice to every
one." On Feb. 23, 1893, there were few editorial battles to wage.
Editor-in-Chief Charles Baskerville was obliged to fill the space
on his first front page with a run-down of office holders of
campus organizations.
But, the DTH, being what it is, soon found the controversy
which has kept it going for over seven decades.
After only one month of existence, the paper had picked its
first fight.
The non-fraternity staff members, agitated over the paper's
pro-fraternity policy, pulled out and established a rival paper
The White and Blue which tried unsuccessfully to abolish not
only the DTH, but the fraternity system as well.
The paper, published in its early days one copy at a time
on a hand operated screw press, grew from weekly, to a semi
weekly, to a tri-weekly, to a daily. It added pictures, adver
tisements, color and national news.
But the controversy and discussion that the first editorial
promised has continued from the scathing blasts in 1899 against
the delapidated athletic facilities provided by the University
to the scathing blasts in 1965 during the James Gardner incident.
At the turn of the century, when UNC's athletic contests
were held either in the open or in an unsafe wooden structure
located on Franklin Street, the DTH campaigned for better
athletic facilities and got them.

early as their sophomore year if
they desire to enter one of the
departmental honors program.
"We hope the booklet will , make
qualified students aware of the
opportunities available early
enough for them to make ade
quate plans," she said.
. Barron- said" each Tiepartrnent
sets its own regulations so pro
grams vary greatly. "Most stu
dents who have a minimum of a
B average and are interested in
pursuing a research project in
their major field should enquire
about the programs," Barron
said.
. The booklet lists each depart
mental program and its require
ment for entry. It contains a bas
ic outline of courses in each sub
ject. It also lists the name and
address of each honors advisor.
. The publication of the booklet
is an experiment on the part of
the committee, Barron said.
"Interest in departmental hon
ors programs has increased great
ly in the past 10 years, although
the program itself is over 50 years
old. Perhaps every qualified stu
dent already knows about these
programs, but up until now there
has been no simplified source of
information.
"We will be interested to see
if the booklet does meet a need
for information, or if it increases
interest in the program," he said.
The booklet costs 15 cents. This
covers the cost of publication and
distribution.

Ope
An 1899 editorial calls for an end to "ungentlemanly abuse"
of the college library, then located in what is now the Play
makers' Theater.
In 1919, editor Thomas Wolfe (of "Look Homeward, Angel"
fame) took up the banner of the crusading DTH. He is respon
sible for the enlarging of the editorial section of the paper to
full-page size. A rash of campus petty thefts was attacked by
Wolfe editorially, and he campaigned vigorously to put the
DTH on a semi-weekly schedule.
Editor Walter Spearman, now a professor in the School
of Journalism, led a DTH fight in 1923 against the rival Yellow
Journal, a scandal sheet circulated by Sigma Upsilon literary
fraternity. He won the fight when his opponent had to leave
school because of his part in the Yellow Journal.
The DTH stepped into one of the major controversies of its
history when the Supreme Court desegregation decision of 1951
was handed down. In keeping with the policy of previous DTH
editors, Charles Kuralt (now with CBS-TV) editorially supported
the decision in the face of considerable criticism.
The greatest fight the DTH faced came in 1956 when the
editors conducted a hard campaign against the hiring of big-time
coach Jim Tatum by the athletic department.
Tatum's friends struck back hard. A recall election was
held in an attempt to get rid of editors Louis Kraar, and Ed
Yoder. Kraar and Yoder won the recall but lost the editorial
fight.
A year and a half later the DTH saw its second recall elec
tion when editor Neil Bass was stripped of his position for
"malicious and untrue statements" about certain students and
faculty members.
For the DTH, then, the motto '72 years of editorial free
dom," has become a tradition.

mittee on Fraternities and Sor
orities." "Students should have a
stronger voice in the area of
buildings and ground and traf
fic and safety."
"We intend to continue the
course evaluation program. We
want to exDand and publish the
evaluation booklet each year."f
"TVio ProcirWif nf thp. StU-
dent Body is a leader and a

4 Medicare
Authorities
To Debate
The merits and faults of the
proposed Medicare plan will be
debated by four authorities at 8
tonight in Gerrard Hall.
Sponsored by Carolina Forum
and Carolina Political Union, the
debate will feature a former presi
dent of the American Medical As
sociation, a prominent state phy
sician, a member of the socialist

Former AMA president Dr. Ed
ward Annis and Burlington physi
cian Dr. John Kernodle, a former
president of the Medical Society
of North Carolina, will debate
against the federal bill to provide
medical care for the aged.
Socialist Party spokesman R.
W. Tucker of Philadelphia and
UNC professor of internal medi
cine Dr. Frank Williams will

Reuther.
$700 Stolen
From Pines
Sunday Night
The Pines Restaurant was rob
bed of $700 Sunday night by a
thief or thieves who entered by
a side window and forced open the
safe.
Chapel Hill Police Chief Wil
liam Blake said the robbery was
discovered Monday moring about
6:20.
"Entry was gained by a side
window," Blake said. It could not
be determined if the window had
been forced open or had just been
left unlocked.
"The safe was rolled from be
hind the cashiers counter into a
private dining room. The door
of the safe was beat and prised
off it wasn't a very professional
job."
The till from the cash register,
containing about $25 in change
was missing, but an attempt to
break open a cigarette machine
failed.
Blake said he thinks there is
no connection between this safe
robbery and the one in January
when $4,000 was taken from the
Merchants Association safe.
"That job was much more pro
fessional. The robbery at the
Pines was just a strongarm job
they knocked the dial off the safe
but didn't even try to punch it
and they couldn't even break the
cigarette machine open."
