UNCs
Last week was one of be
ginnings and endings.
It was the beganning for
UNC-C President Bonnie Cone
and her institution and students
and for 67 new Morehead
scholars.
It was the beginning for
Heels' ACC Tournament effort
. and the beginning of the end
for fraternities and sororities
with discriminatory clauses -in
their constitutions.
NEW BRANCH
It happened Tuesday in the
House and the legislators who
had argued and heard financial
reports for a week and beaten
back amendments to change the
bill finally passed it and they
created the fourth branch of
the Consolidated University and
they called it the University of
North Carolina at Charlotte and
they made a woman happy.
She's Bonnie Cone.
And this was the reward for
her struggle to make the little
Mecklenburg school a part of
the University and she started
the fight in 1958 when she be
came president of the institu
tion and it was a junior college
then. But she had a goal.
And the House passed the
bill that was approved the week
before by the Senate and re
jected an amendment to delay
the effective date of the meas
ure until the school was accre
dited and decided to make it
immediate and they did.
And that same day students
at the new branch of the Uni
versity got together and rang
an old farm bell they keep on
campus and celebrated and
didn't waste any time painting
a new sign for the school and
putting it up. "UNC-C," it
reads.
CLAUSES
Student leaders expressed ap
proval of the Faculty Council's
resolution calling for an end to
discriminatory clauses in fra
ternity and sorority constitu
tions. IFC President Ned Martin
said he was pleased and that
"each fraternity should be free
to choose any boy in the
school . . ."
Student Body President Bob
Spearman said he was "de
lighted." Panhellenic President Jean
Dillin called it a "necessary
step for the University."
The Faculty Council passed
the resolution Friday and set
Sept. 1, 1966 as the compliance
date for Greek organizations.
Chapters not complying by
that date will be asked to dis
band. Martin said all fraternities
with such clauses have investi
gated the possibility of obtain
ing a waiver from their na-

BAN BLASTED
"The single most important
problem facing our academic
community," is the way Stu
dent Body President Bob Spear
man branded the Speaker Ban
Law Thursday night before
Student Legislature.
In his State of the Campus
address, Spearman said: "The
alleged aim of the Speaker Ban
is to protect students from com
munist subversion. Its actual
effect is to cripple the exchange
of ideas in a great university."
'" He called for "rational, de
termined and effective action"
against the law, rather than
emotional reaction.
CAMPUS RADIO
Speaker Don Carson told the
Student Legislature Thursday
that he would not introduce any
more legislation for the cam
pus radio proposal "because of
the political situation."
He said: "There has been no
rational discussion on this bill
and I refuse to see this project
destroyed because of partisan
politics."
Communications Committee
Co-ChairmarT"Atmistead Mau
pin said a poll has been con
ducted among 400 students and
that 64 per cent are in favor of
the proposal while 20 per . cent
are against it and 16 per cent
undecided.
ELECTIONS
Campus " political activity
picked up steam last week as
candidates started a long series
of dorm meetings.
The Student Party nominated
Eric Van Loon as candidate for
student body treasurer. Van
Loon will take the place of
Hugh Blackwell on the SP
ticket.
Blackwell, "who declined the
nomination last Sunday, was
nominated to a Student Legis
lature seat from Men's District
II. .
Junior Rick Kramer an
nounced Tuesday that he will
$eek re-election as president
of Carolina Athletic Associa
tion. Kramer, CAA president
for the past year, was recently
defeated for the University
Party nomination to that post.
-
Norwood Pratt, who an
nounced last week that he will
seek the Daily Tar Heel editor
ship, failed Thursday to get the
approval of the Publications
Board.
Board chairman Hugh Black
well said Pratt "did not have a
record of the prior experience
and ability that would be neces
sary to get the Tar Heel to press
every day."
Pratt commented: "Either the
Publications Board did not
understand a word I said in the
course of my interview with
them or this decision is entire
ly political.'
To get his name on the ballot,
Pratt must present a petition
with 145 signatures to the
board 12 days before the March
23 election date.
He will oppose DTH manag
ing editor Ernie McCrary.
MARTIN ELECTED
Frank Martin was elected
Interfraternity Council presi
dent Monday. Tom White was
elected vice-president.
Martin defeated Neil Thomas
in a run-off election.
Bernard Dodson was elected
secretary and Bom Combs won
the post of treasurer.
67 AWARDS
A record number of 67 boys
was presented Morehead Awards
here Tuesday.
The John Motley Morehead
Foundation trustees voted this
year to increase the . value of
the awards by $125 per year ef
fective Sept. 1. They will now
be worth $5,800 each to in
state residents for four years of
study and $7,500 each for out-of-state
students.
GAG HIT
The" Di-Phi Senate voted '
unanimously Tuesday night to
condemn the Speaker Ban Law.
It was the second similar action
in the past two years.
A resolution calling for a test
case for the law, to be spon
sored by the senate, was intro
duced and will be voted on at
Tuesday's meeting.
NAME CHANGE
University President William
C. Friday stood fast against the
proposed N. C. State name
change Thursday at a public
hearing in Raleigh.
"The University derives es
sential power and strength from
faculty members, alumni, stu
dents 'and administrators. But
we must remember that the Uni
versity belongs to all the peo
ple of North Carolina . . . the
good of all the people of the
state must be the basis of deci
sion," he said.
Friday, representing the posi
tion of the University trustees,
spoke to about 300 people, many
of them N. C. State alumni. He
was interrupted at least twice
by laughter and jeering from
the hostile crowd.
SPORTS
All the Tar Heel hopes end
ed Thursday in Raleigh.
A hot second half by the
Wake Forest Demon Deacons
lifted them over the Heels for a
92-76 win in first-round play
at the ACC Tournament.
