Notebook
With,
Hugh
Stevens
The legend called Billy Cun
ningham scored just 13 points and
went to the bench with five fouls
early Thursday night, and in
that moment an era ended for
thousands of North Carolina
basketball lovers.
It was 'an ignominious end to
an illustrious career.
The campus consensus, right or
wrong, seems to be that it would
have been a thousand times easi
er to take if the bigger score had
been listed under some other
name than "Wake Forest," and
cn campus yesterday more than
one person chose the words "bush
league" to vent his pent-up feel
ings about Baptist Hollow.
But Wake Forest or not," it is
over, and the fabulous Brooklyn
jumping jack has 'jumped for
Carolina for the last time.
The words aren't in the diction
ary to describe his unique left
handed shot that seemed to con
sist mainly of soaring into the
ir and simply staying there un
til everyone else came down. Nor
could anyone draw a word pic
ture of how he looked, stretched
to his full height, batting the ball
down the throat ol a surprised
opponent. You simply had to see
it to believe it.
Thus, I don't intend to try to
describe his skills; too many bet
ter -writers have tried and failed.
First Time
But as Billy went to the bench
to sit out the last seven minutes
of his career Thursday, I couldn't
help remembering the first time
I saw the Kangaroo Kid.
He wasn't the Kangaroo Kid
then; no enterprising press agent
had coined the name. He was
just Billy CunningTiam, a fresh
man and a basketball player, and
he was making his first appearan
ce in a blue and white uniform
with "North Carolina" on the
front.
The occasion was a varsity
freshman scrimmage game on a
mild autumn night hard on the
heels of the 1961 football season,
which had been dismal and had
given Carolina fans little to cheer
about.
Like hundreds of other students,
alumni and die-hard fans, I had
straggled down to Woollen Gym
to see if the basketball team
might provide the balm to heal
the University's wounds. I was not
prepared for what I saw that
night, and in retrospect l doubt
that few of the two thousand
sDectators were prepared, either.
Not that I hadn't heard of
Billv Cunningham. I had. Like
every other follower of Carolina
.athletics. I knew that ne naa
been the greatest thing In New
York high school basketball since
they invented the backboard, and
I knew all about how he had come
south in the dead of winter to
enroll here in January before I
came in September.
What to Expect?
But he had never appeared in
a Carolina uniform, and few of
the 2,000 people on hand knew
what to expect
Recalling the whole thing to
day, more than four years later,
I am impressed by the fact that
I remember nothing about the
game except that the varsity's
performance was woeful; tnat,
and Billy Cunningham.
Before the teams even appear
ed the talk flew down the creaky
rows of seats. "He's the greatest
ever," some said, "just the great
est." Along with such vague
praises went a ton of rumors
about feats that even Superman
couldn't have performed, and by
the time the teams emerged 1
was all set to join in welcoming
a combination of Rock Hudson and
Goliath.
I was disappointed, and I
wasn't the only one.
"Where is he?" "Which one
is Cunningham?" came the col
lective inquiries, until finally by
the process of elimination we
picked him out. Or perhaps some
body in the crowd wGo "knew"
pointed an excited finger in his
direction.
However it was, I'm glad every
one present didn't discover Billy
Cunningham at once, for there
would certainly have been a col
lective gasp and a shocked silence
which would have put him in the
next train back to Brooklyn,
where appearances don't count for
so much and he would have been
better aDoreciated.
For as the fans crowded into
Woollen focused one by one on
Billy, their voices disaDueared
and they were left in stone-cold

'Most Important Problem 9
By JOHN GREENBACKER
DTH Staff Writer
, Student Body President Bob
Spearman blasted the Speaker
Ban Law as "the single most
important problem facing our
academic community" during
his state of the campus address
before Student Legislature
Thursday night.
Spearman's remarks on the
law were part of an eight-page
address outlining the accom
plishments of his term of office
and listing the areas for future
progress.
Referring to the Speaker Ban,
Spearman said, "Each day its
devastating effects become
more apparent."
He cited the scheduled or
genecist Dr. J. B. S. Haldane
proposed appearances of famed
and playwright Arthur Miller,
which were called off because
of the law.' . - .
Two national science associa
tions have refused to hold meet
ings on campus because of the
law.
"The alleged aim of the
Speaker Ban is to protect stu
dents from communist subver
sion," he said. "Its actual ef
fect is to cripple the free ex
change of ideas in a great uni
versit3'." Spearman called for "ra
tional, determined and effective
action" against the law, rather
than emotional reaction.
He listed the contributions
which he said his administra
tion made for the benefit of
students and the community." V

Broadcasting
Legislation
Is Postponed
A major campaign issue was
eliminated Thursday when Speak
er Don Carson told Student Legis
lature he would not introduce any
more legislation for the campus
radio station "because of the
political situation."
Carson made the announcement
after an extensive period of ques
tioning by legislators on an im
pending radio bill. '
'There has been no rational
discussion on this bill, and I re
fuse to see this project be de
stroyed because of partisan poli
tics," he said.
"We have all the necessary
technical information and knowl
ege to put this station into opera-

lion, ne saia, due Because ue-
ferment of consideration 6a these
measures until after the elec
tions." During the questioning period,
Communications Committee co
chairman Armistead Maupin pre
sented the body with the results
of a recent opinion poll held on
the radio issue.
"We received the opinions of
400 students, male and female,
Greek and non-Greek," he said.
"We found that 20 per cent are
against it 16 per cent are unde
cided and 64 per cent are in
favor of the station.
"That wins as big as Goldwater
lost," Maupin said.
The body was also conveyed a
message from Student Body Presi
dent Spearman that he would
veto a bill calling for reports on
his use of the President's Dis
cretionary fund unless a compro
mise was achieved.
Hugh Blackwell, author of the
bill, introduced a compromise
measure to the body which was
accepted in place of the . original
measure.
Student Party Leader -Arthur
Hays condemned Spearman's
message as an example of "legis
lative blackmail."
"You canot reconsider a bill
that has been vetoed," Hays said.
"By conveying his intentions to
us, the president merely found
a way of getting around the veto
by forcing a compromise."
Mrs. Paul Sharp, wife of
UNC's chancellor, signed on as
a judge for the second annual
DTH Kite Contest yesterday.
Carolina's vivacious hostess
joins Kays Gary, popular colum
nist of the Charlotte Observer,
as judges for the event. The
final judge will be announced
later.
In accepting, Mrs. Sharp said
she had flown kites "once upon
a time" but did not expect to
try it at the contest, which is
scheduled for March 20.
"I'll be content to add a wom
an's touch," she said, indicat
ing that she would be especially
interested in the "Prettiest
Kite" category.
Within the next few days, the
DTH will announce the exact,
final schedule for the contest,
along with a list of prizes. All
kites have to be homemade, so
contestants are urged to begin
making preparations.
In connection with the con
test, the DTH Kite Queen will
be announced on March 19.

Spearman called for continu

judiciary system. :
Limit Code
"I am convinced that the
Campus Code needs to be limit
ed to the Chapel Hill commu
nity and to student functions,'
he said. "I fear that the code
will become increasingly h
relevant for a large portion of
students." - ;
He called for increased co
operation between Student
Government and the adminis
tration, and cited the conference
at Reidsville last December
between leaders of both groups
as a starting point.
Spearman defended the rights
of fraternities and sororities to
discriminate, but he said they
should be freed from nationally
restrictive, clauses, ,.,- ,
"Restrictive clauses based on
race or religion deprove local
chapters of free choice," he
said. "I am doing everything
within my power to see that
calm and considered action is
being taken along these lines.1'
Urges Bond Issue
Quoting statistics which show

The satire, written and presented by four Eng

satire of its own sacred institutions.
The play, presented in two parts composed of

One Coed Excused;
Another Campused
The Women's Honor Council this
week voted to excuse one coed
for being late and gave a 16-day
campus to another for failing to
report the lateness of a dormitory
guest.
In the first case, a coed plead
indefinite to a charge of enter
ing the residence hall an hour
and 15 minutes late Feb. 20. The
council excused her after learning
that her lateness was caused by
automobile trouble.
Another coed pleaded guilty
and was found guilty to a campus
code violation when a guest she
had at her dormitory failed to
come in the night of Feb. 20.
Honor Council rules make
hostesses responsible for the con
duct and well-being of their guests.
"The council felt that the coed
"did not act responsibly in failing
to report the guest to the dormi
tory administration," and so sen
tenced her with 16 days of cam
edged scalplers at work." They are replicas of

Compliance Date
Set Sept. 1, 1966
By PETE WALES
DTH Associate Editor
The Faculty Council yesterday passed unanimously a
resolution calling for an end to fraternity and sorority
discriminatour clauses. The new University policy gives
social and professional fraternities and sororities until
Sept. 1, 1966, to drop all national or local discriminatory
requirements for membership.
Discriminatory requirements are defined as "those re
quirements which prohibit the local chapter from pledg
ing or initiating any student in the University because of
his or her race, creed or na-
Student Leaders
Express Approval
0 Council's Vote
"I am delighted to see that this
action has been taken by the
faculty Council, and it has my
whole-hearted approval."
This was the reaction of Stu
dent Body President Bob Spear
man to the policy on discrimina
tory clauses passed unanimously
yesterday by the Faculty Council.
The news met with wide-spread
approval among students leaders.
Spearman noted that "sufficient
leeway" had been given the frat
ernities and sororities to change
or waive their clauses by the
1966 date.
"This means that individual
housesr will be freed from national
restrictions and requirements in
selecting their members," he
said.
"Now every fraternity and
sorority may look at every parti
cular person who comes through
rush without having their minds
made up for them. The policy
gives them a greater degree of
autonomy without forcing them to
take anyone."
Spearman expressed apprecia
tion to Dr. Herbert Bodman,
chairman of the faculty commit
tee, for allowing him to sit in on
meetings.
IFC President Frank Martin
was pleased with the policy and
anticipated no difficulty in re
moving the clauses. He felt that
sufficient time had been granted.
"Each fraternity should be free
to choose any boy in the school
whom it feels to be suitable with
out being restricted by constitu
tional clauses of its national.
"I don't think you should re
strict yourself prior to seeing the
boy."
Panhellenic President Jean Dil
lin felt that the policy was a
"necessary step for the Univer
sity. This is a trend that is be
coming obvious all over the
country.
"The University has not only
a legal, but a moral obligation to
take this stand. I don't think
that it can sanction any group
that discriminates on the basis of
race or creed.
"I hope that the time limit will
be sufficient for all sororities to
comply, but I have no official in
formation. I don't think this will
hurt the sorority system."
Presidential candidate Paul
Dickson and Don Carson both
favored the decision.

tional origin."
Chapters not complying with
this policy by the stated date
Will be asked to disband.
All the fraternities with such
clauses have cleared the pos
sibility of obtaining a waiver
from their nationals through
correspondence this fall, accord
ing to IFC President Frank Mar
tin. Waive Requirements
Certain national fraternities
have allowed local chapters to
."waive" national membership
requirements when the admini
stration disallowed such clauses.
Panhellenic Council President
Jean Diilin was unsure of the
effect on some of the sororities.
Kappa Delta has refused to
sign such statements on certain
other campuses.
"I'm very pleased that the
faculty accepted the report un
animously," said Dr. Herbert
Bodman, chairman of the Facul
ty Committee on Fraternities
and Sororities. "I hope that
the fraternities arid sororities
will do all they can to meet the
requirements established there
in. "Most fraternities and sorori
ties have no problem, but there
are a few who still do. We
sincerely hope that there will
be no problem in removing the
clauses and do not anticipate
any at this time.
"We hope that the local chap
ters will combine with us to
persuade their nationals to re
vise their documents to elimin
ate any type of discrimination
by category. This has no place
in any fraternal organization."
With regard to "socially ac
ceptable" clauses, Dr. Bodman
said that the committee would
have to rule on the intent of
the clause in each case. If the
clause was being used to dis
criminate on the basis of race,
creed or national origin, then it
would not be acceptable.
Sharp Pleased
Chancellor Paul F. Sharp also
expressed satisfaction with the
decision.
"It was a .solid action of the
Faculty Council," he said.
The vote climaxed an investi
gation of fraternity and sorority
documents by the committee
started last fall when Dr. Bod
man replaced Dr. Clifton II.
Kreps as chairman.
The committee had passed a
policy in 1959 forbidding the
establishment of any new fra
ternities or sororities with dis
criminatory clauses.
Policy Text
The text of the policy:
"All chapters of social and
professional fraternities and
sororities at the University of
North Carolina at Chapel Hill,
on or before Sept. 1, 19GG. shall
in good faith stipulate to the
Faculty Committee on Frater
nities and Sororities, in a state
ment signed by the president of
the chapter and the responsible
national officer, that no dis
criminatory requirements are
imposed upon the chapter eith
er locally or by the national
organization of the fraternity
or sorority, through its charter,
constitution, bylaws, ceremonies
or regulations.
" 'Discriminatory' requirements'
are defined as those require
ments which prohibit the local
chapter from pledging or initi
ating any student in the Univer
sity because of his or her race,
creed or national origin.
"Any chapter of a social or
professional fraternity or soror
ity which fails to present the
above signed statement to the
Faculty Committee on Frater
nities and Sororities by the date
specified shall appear before
the committee through repre
sentatives and show cause why
the committee should not lee
ommend to the chancellor of
the University that the Univer
sity terminate its recognition of
the chapter involved for faihue
of the chapter to conform to
University polio-."
