After closing out the regular season with seven straight
victories, the Tar Heels tonight begin their quest of their first
ACC Tournament Championship since 1957.
But standing in the way tonight will be Wake Forest (11-14)
which for five consecutive years has reached the finals.
The Deacons are fighting the same type of slump that the
Tar Heels experienced at the end of last year, having lost six
of their last eight games, but there is an adage in Winston
Salcm that Bones McKinney always reaches the finals, and they
will be out to prove it. The game will start at 9 p.m.
UNC lost seven of its last eight games in 1964, but rebounded
against South Carolina in the tourney opener before losing to

Bi-Phi
Condemns
Gag Law
By JOHN GREENBACHER
DTH Staff Writer
The Di-Phi Senate unanimously
voted to condemn the Speaker
Ban Law after a special debate
during inauguration ceremonies
Tuesday night.
This was the second such action
which the Di-Phi has taken against
the Speaker Ban in two years.
A resolution calling for a test
case, to be sponsored by the Sen
ate, which would point out the
"ambiguities in the law" was in
troduced in Tuesday's session,
and will be discussed and voted
on at the next session.
During the debate. Will Bullard
pointed out that three speakers
in the assembly had broken the
Gag Law by publicly advocat
ing the overthrow of a section of
the North Carolina Constitution.
Want Secticn Stricken
All three had admitted during
a questioning period that they
would like to see stricken the
section of the constitution which
forbids inter-racial marriage.
"I know of at least one Marxist-Leninist
who has been active
on this campus who is not pre
vented from speaking by the law,"
Bullard said. "He has never plead
ed the Fifth Amendment, is not
a member of the Communist
Party, and has ' never publicly
called for the overthrow of our
government," he said.
"You will find that most Marx
ists are not covered by this law."
Bullard cited the "detrimental
effect" which the law has had on
the University, including the re
fusal of several . distinguished
scientists to speak here and re
fusal by international physics and
' chemistry conferences to hold ses
sions here.
"More Harm Than Good"
David Wilborn told the body that
the bill was against all democrat
ic precepts as defined by Ameri
ca's founders, and said it would
. do more harm than good.
"If we cannot refute the ideas
which a communist would present
us with, then we will be rendered
unable to truely supress commu
nism," he said.
Chuck Neely attacked the State
-Legislature for not using legis
lative restraint in the bill's pass
age. "This . bill was rammed
through the State Legislature,"
he said.
"If you pass laws against the
speaking privileges of Commu
nists, then you can do the same
against those of facists," he said.
"Soon it may , get to the point
when Republicans won't be allow-
ticl to SpGcllC.
"The United , States congress is
currently composed of a democrat
majority so strong that they could
deny the speaking privileges of
the republicans,' he said. "They
haven't done this because of leg
islative restraint."
In his inaugural address, presi
, dent Baxter Linney called on the
societies not to rest on their tra
ditions alone, but to actively work
for the betterment of the organi
zation. Corps Tests Today
Placement tests for Peace
Corps volunteers will be given to
day at noon, 4 and 7 p.m. in

mit a completed questionnaire at
time of test.

DTH Staff Writer
When Mariam Makeba sang "Where Shall I Go," a folksong
of her native South Africa, it had a special significance.
Miss Makeba was banned from returning to the country of
her birth for her outspoken views on South African affairs. Any
criticism of the government is illegal there.
Since the Union of South Africa was granted independence
from the British Commonwealth, the government has been domi
nated by white descendants of original Dutch settlers.
The native tribes have no representation even though they
comprise 90 per cent of the population. They are not allowed
to vote.
Laws have been passed confining them to certain areas of
the country and they must carry passports to travel from one
section to another.
Plight of the People
At a reception after Tuesday night's performance here, she
talked in a soft whispering voice of the plight of her people.
"We people of South Africa have no friends. The U.N. has
passed resolutions for economic boycotts of our country but no
one has followed it. Fifty per cent of the world's gold and 75
per cent of the world's diamonds are still coming out of South
Africa. The Western countries are our allies but until they

Duke. In three previous meetings with the Deacons they have
won only once, 61-59 in the semifinals in 1957, en route to the
national championship. Two years ago the Deacs knocked the
Tar Heels out in the semifinals 56-55.
UNC Coach Dean Smith said he has been pleased with the
steady improvement of the team recently Although he points
to Duke as the favorite, he realizes that a lot of people think
Carolina is going to win. '
Probably the biggest reason for this is Billy Cunningham. In
the last seven games he has hit on 55.8 per cent of his floor

bond measure came up for . its
final consideration in the House.
It rode through on a 115-2 vote.
It had passed in the Senate last
week.
The bill provides for the people
to vote on issuance of the bonds
at an election later this year. The
date will be set. by the governor.
If the voters approve the bonds,
$150 million of the $300 million
issue will be used for construction
of primary highways, $75 million
for paving secondary roads and
$75 million to improve ' highway
links within municipalties. 4

the list of Gov. Dan Moore's pro

Highway Commission, also near

It was passed by the Senate and
returned to the House for approv
al of minor Senate amendments.
Under the bill, the Highway
Commission will be reduced from
18 to 14 members. One of the
Senate amendments requires that
each of the 14 commission mem
bers come from a different high

Alone
Norwood Pratt, a junior from
Winston-Salem, announced yes
terday that he will seek the edi
torship of The Daily Tar Heel
in the spring election. He is the
second to announce for the po
sition. Both he and his opponent,
Ernie McCrary, are seeking the
office alone.
Carolina Quarterly
Pratt has served as associate
editor of The Carolina Quarter?
ly this year. He has also been
associate editor of The Brooke
lyn Graphic and has had articles
published in The Chapel Hill
Weekly; Oxford Opinion, a
jcampus, magazine . at -s- Oxford
"University; Welt der Arbeit,
Hamburg, Germany; The Expli
cator, Columbia, S. C.; and Paris
Jazz, a magazine for English
speaking people in Paris.
He also served as a speech
writer for a congressman in
Washington. He is married.
States Responsibility
In a prepared statement,
Pratt said, "The Daily Tar
Heel's first responsibility is to
keep the students informed
about the University commun
ity to which they belong.
"Its foremost challenge is to
be interesting.
"If student news and opin
ions are actively and intelligent
ly solicited and reported, the
DTH can be an exciting and
useful instrument for making
the University responsive to in
dividual student needs.
As editor I will see to it
that opposing views are ex
pressed on the editorial page
with the help of an experienced
staff and a wide knowledge of
the University, I will produce
a DTH dedicated to questioning
and inquiring, and not simply
waiting for the usual-and ex
pected."
Pratt describes himself as po
litically "indefinable."
"It depends on the issues," he
said.
BROWN TICKETS
Tickets for Tuesday's James
Brown concert are on sale from

week at Graham Memorial In
formation Desk and Y-Court. The
Men's Residence Council, sponsor
of the event, said there are 200
tickets left
Have No
comply, it will do no good."
American Investment Vital
She cited American investment as especially important in
sustaining the government. "Even Coca-Cola now has a large
plant in South Africa."
"When we're under, no one cares. When the Afrikaaners (as
the whites are called) are killing my people, no one cares. But
as soon as we resort to violence against the undemocratic forms
of our government, we are labeled black savages."
She referred to the Sharpeville massacre in 1960 in which
government troops shot men, women and children in an effort
lo quell a possible riot.
Since then, a ban has been imposed on arms shipments to
supply the government but apparently the move came too late
as South Africa now has its own arsenal to support its troops.
"90-Day Law
Particularly offensive to the natives, she said, is the so
called "90-Day Law" which permits the government to imprison
anyone for 90 days without trial or having to show cause.
"My brother is in jail now, under, the 90-day detention.
When his 90 days were up, he was released and he walked
about 100 yards and was arrested again" she. said. There. are
an estimated two and a half million political prisoners now in
jaiL
shots, 73.8 per cent of his free throws and has averaged 28.4
points a game. In doing this he has upped his average to 25.9
with 14.6 rebounds per game, both league-leading figures. But
his defense and passing have been major factors in the team's
skein.
A second major factor has been the play of junior guard
Johnny Yokley. A reserve for over half the season, he came off
the bench to spark the victory over NYU and has started ever
since. His work last Saturday on All-ACC Bob Verga, limiting
him to 13 points, as well as on Wake's Bob Leonard and NYU's

Morehead
Given To
i " " - '
A record number, of 67 boys was

The trustees of the John Motley
Morehead Foundation voted this
year to increase the value of the
existing awards by $125 per year,
ieffective Sept. 1. The awards

North Carolina residents for four
years of study and $7,500 each to
out-of-state students.

from North Carolina hii schools
and from 16 private preparatory
schools. The current awards bring
to 542 the total number of More

Morehead scholars studying at
UNC.

factor died in January at his
home in Rye, N. Y. The 1965
awards were presented by Hugh
G. Chatham of Elkin, vice-chairman
of the Foundation's Board

Mai Graham shows him to be one of the most tenacious defen
sive backcourtmen in the ACC. In addition to his defensive
work he hit for 17 points against Clemson, 10 against NYU and
nine against both Virginia and Duke.
The Deacons will try to stop Bob Lewis, who scored 33
against them in Chapel HilL Voted to the second All-ACC team,
the 6-3 sophomore is averaging 20.8 points and 8.1 rebounds
a game.
Joining Lewis in the frontcourt will be Ray Respess, who
burst out of a mid-season slump and has become one of the top
clutch players on the team, while defensive ace Tom Gauntlett
will be at the other guard position.
Despite first team all-star and a second teamer the Deacons
have been floundering. Bob Leonard, the conference's top guard,
and Ronnie Watts have both played well but the rest of the
team has been erratic.
Guard John Anderson has started for most of the season.
McKinney had a good starting forecourt for half the season in
sophomore Jim Boshart and Richard Herring, but they have
been cold in the second half and reserves Jim Altengartcn and
Clark Pool, averaging 3.9 and 3.0 points a game, have started.
They slaughtered UNC 107-85 in Winston-Salem and with
McKinney's tournament record the Tar Heels cannot be look
ing ahead to the winner of the Duke-South Carolina game.
But some consolation for having to play Wake in the open
ing round is that the three times the top-seeded team hasn't
won the fourth-seeded club took all the marbles.

Late News Briefs
From DTH Associated Press Wires
THE HOUSE PASSED and sent to President Johnson yes
terday his $l.l-billion program of aid for highways and other
projects designed to improve job opportunities and income in
the economically depressed Appalachia area.
This first major legislation to be passed by this session of
Congress was approved by a 257-165 roll call of the House,
which last year let a similar bill die.
Repeated Republican attempts to slice off parts of the pro
gram or add more areas were beaten off in two days of debate
and the bill was approved in exactly the form the Senate passed
it Feb. 1. Sixteen amendments offered were rejected overwhelm
ingly, most by voice vote.
Voting for the bill were 232 Democrats and 25 Republicans.
Voting against it were 56 Democrats and 109 Republicans.
The proposal was the product of study begun by President
John F. Kennedy shortly after he took office in 1961. He had
been impressed by the economic plight of West Virginia dur
ing his presidential campaign. Johnson adopted the idea and
pushed it vigorously.
The bill, which now requires only Johnson's signature to
become law, authorizes a five-year program of aid for 360
counties in 11 states extending from northern Pennsylvania to
northern Alabama. They include all of West Virginia and parts
of Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, North Carolina, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.
Provision is made for possible addition of 13 New York
counties later.
Funds necessary to put the program into effect must be
provided by separate legislation.
, , A U.S. AIR FORCE jet mission struck secret targets Wednesday-in.
a followup to the widely publicized U.S.-Soutli Viet
namese attack Tuesday on military installations in Communist
North Viet Nam.
The Ho Chi Minh trail through eastern Laos a Viet Cong
supply line raided sporadically throughout the wunter was be
lieved to have been hit by more than 30 F100 and F105 fighter
bombers. The supersonic squadrons took off unheralded with heavy
loads of explosives from Da Nang Air Base, 380 miles north
east of Saigon, and sped back later with bomb bays empty to a
landing lacking in fanfare.
U.S. authorities declined to disclose the objectives, but said
no new strike had been made against North Viet Nam. It was
not even made plain whether all the raiders returned.
Compared with other operations in the Vietnamese war, the
lid on news of the Laotian phase always has been relatively
tight.
MAJ. GEN. NGUYEN VAN T1IIEU replaced ousted strong
man Lt. Gen. Nguyen Khanh Wednesday as the top officer of
the nation's 25-man armed forces council. But he has only a
fraction of the power Khanh wielded.
The council announced the election of Thieu as Secretary
General, and said It had decided not to name a new chairman,
the post Khanh held while he was also commander-in-chief of
the armed forces.
Maj. Gen. Tran Van Minh retains his job as acting com
mander of the armed forces. Thieu also holds the post of armed
forces minister in the civilian cabinet of Prime Minister Phan
Huy Quat.
DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. led hundreds of Negroes
Wednesday on a three-mile march to bury a Negro laborer whom
King had described as "a martyr in the crusade for human dig
nity and freedom."
The procession to the graveside followed two funeral serv
ices, the first at nearby Selma, for 26-year-old Jimmie Lee Jack
son who was wounded fatally by gunfire when police and state
troopers broke up a Negro march here Feb. 18.
A misty rain was falling during the services in the red brick
Zion Methodist church facing the courthouse square in this
small West Alabama town.
A few white spectators watched from the porch of the small
city hall, across the intersection from the church. A few city
policemen were on hand but there was no trouble as hundred,
of Negroes who could not get inside the building massed in
front of the church and sang "freedom songs." Inside, the old
wooden pews were jammed and the aisles packed.
REP. PAUL R. ROBERSON of Martin said Wednesday he
was "perfectly serious" about a measure to keep "neckers" olf
North Carolina highways.
Roberson said a lot of people "smile and brush it ofT" when
his bill is mentioned. He said without a smile "a lot of our vio
lations result" from highway necking.
The measure would make it a misdemeanor punishable by a
fine of $50 or thirty days in jail to steer or operate a motor ve
hicle on a public road while embracing a companion or while
the operator's arm is resting on the seat behind or around a
companion.
Roberson said the bill was a highway safety measure aimed
not especially at teenagers, but at persons "who think they're
grown 25 to 35."
If couples are bent on necking, Roberson said, they should
get off the highways.
A BILL, TO repeal the provision for life imprisonment upon
recommendation of the jury in capital cases was introduced
Wednesday by State Sen. Tom Wrhite of Lenoir.
The measure would affect the sentencing of those found
guilty of first degree murder, arson, rape and first degree bur
glary North Carolina's four capital crimes.
Under a 1949 law, a jury's, recommendation of life imprison
ment is binding in cases where the death penalty is otherwise
mandatory. Under White's bill, the sentence would be a sen
tence of death upon conviction in all capital cases.
