A A A J) Chancellor Joins Protest Against Proposed Cafe A proposed hamburger stand next to the University Baptist Church has met opposition from the UNC Faculty Council and Chancellor Paul F. Sharp. Sharp, in a letter presented to the Chapel Hill Board of Aldermen last night, said, "We would regard this as a most un wise and unfortunate action and hope that you and the appro priate community officials can prevent this further intrusion into the quality and spirit of the community's charm and ap pearance." . The proposed hamburger stand, one of the Bell chain. would be built on Columbia Street, directly across from the Ackland Art Center. The Faculty Council unani mously adopted Friday an amendment to the annual re port of its Committee on Build inga and Grounds. The amend ment said, "The Faculty Coun cil of the University of North Carolina, recognizing the creat value of the attractiveness of Chapel Hill in the acquisition and retention of faculty mem bers, strongly urges the Board of Aldermen to do everything in its power to preserve this attractiveness." "We request that the alder men: 1 Make every effort to prevent improper and undesir able commercial construction both downtown and in suburban areas; 2 Implement the up grading of zoning classifications wnerever possible; "3 Deny development pro posals which may damage any areas of the town; 4 Offer vig orous support, in every way possible, for an, early and ex tensive implementation of ,.an open spaces program; 5 Pre vent the damaging exploitation jof Chapel Hill's more scenic areas, in order to allow the open spaces program an oppor tunity to acquire and preserve them." BULLETIN Van McNair, a junior from Los Angeles, Calif., was elected chair man of the Men's Council for next year. The elections were held in Graham Memorial. Also elected were Stu Kagel as vice-chairman and Dick Young as scribe. Full details will appear in to morrow's DTII. 16th State Fire Quickly Put Out RALEIGH UPl N. C. State students extinguished a fire in a vacant room at the Lambda Chi Alpha Fraterni ty House early Sunday. Detective Capt. R. E. Goodwin said the blaze was discovered about 5 a.m. by students. He said there was little damage and it appear ed that someone had empti ed the contents of a waste basket and ignited it. It was the 16th fire believ ed to have been deliberately set on the campus since mid December. By FRED THOMAS DTH Staff Writer "I believe that the action of the trustees, which was approved by the General Assembly March 2, will be considered, 25 years from now, as the most important single action of the 1965 session." This was consolidated Univer sity Vice President A. K. King's comment on the recent addition of Charlotte College as the fourth campus of the University of North Carolina. t . King has been the Consolidated University's man on the scene for the Charlotte College addition and has spent the last several months there, leading the study of the need for another campus.

Long think about the future of fraternities at UNC? "Ten years from now I think there will be 23 social fraterni ties and four professional fra ternities here, just as there are today." With recent innovations such as deferred rush and the Resi dence College System challeng ing the fraternities, many feel that the Greek system is doom ed and will gradually disappear from the University Commun ity. "It is an intangible thing that causes a house to go off cam pus," Dean Long said. How ever, he fears that perhaps one or two houses might disband for financial reasons. "Deferred rush will help fra ternities," he said. "The num ber of men pledged this year was not as high as in previous years, but fraternities have pledged more men that they can initiate than ever before." He referred to the fact that all freshmen who rushed this spring were required to have at least a "C" average last fall. As a result, they can be initiat ed this semester. Many fresh men in the past who pledged in their first semester could not be initiated because they would fail to make their grades. Dean Long disagrees with the neonle who feel that the Kesi dence College System will be a major blow to fraternities. "Tn the ideal residence col lege system there would be ab solutely no need for fraterni ties" Dean Lon2 said. But he thinks this ideal would be dif ficult, if not impossible, to achieve He said that the system could helD fraternities by fore ing them to re-evaluate them selves and improve. "There must be some genu ine content to fraternity life," he said. "It must encourage people to achieve." He believes that within the changing University Commun ity fraternities must mature to keen nace. "The students are & . Cs needs of the state warrant and as the resources of the state per mit, the development of a full university campus." Interpreting this statement of what the newly passed legislation means he said, "If you want to consider the short term view, con sider how different Charlotte Col lege will be two years from now. It will be a strong unGergraduate institution and the fact that it is a branch of the university will attract better prepared-and more capable students and staff than it otherwise would: 'Thinking in terms of 20 or 20 years from now, try to envision what has happened to UNC, N. C. State, WC or Duke in the last 20 or 30 years, realizing that things are likely to happen more rapidly in generations ahead than in the one we have just come through." Why Charlotte? Why was Charlotte College made A : CUD o getting smarter. They are bet ter settled people. "The university of the future will be a more mature place," he added. "Fraternities will have to work harder. "IFC leadership is excellent, and the general quality of fra ternity leadership has improv ed." He believes that the change in outlook will have to center on doing away with the "Mick ey Mouse" aspects of the fra ternity system and reducing emphasis on social life. "Stressing the social life in a balanced way would be good," he said. "A man who is social ly adjusted is a better student." He praised fraternities for be ing "organized on a generally disorganized campus," but pointed out that this is not enough. "Fraternities must be a posi tive experience," he said. "Drinking beer gets old after awhile." fP- IV '1 fir r rf iv.w.-ji,jri. ihiYrt.Vi iViiYVrrtvtfr'-Vf-VVVAn'n'i'n'i'r-V J-, Literacy Lmv Unanimously Nixed By Supreme Court WASHINGTON W) The Su- preme Court upheld Monday the right of the U.

District Court in Jackson dismiss ing a suit against Mississippi fil ed by the Attorney General under federal voting laws. Justice Hugo L.

He said the suit should be brought to trial without delay.

In answer to this frequently asked question King said: "Reliable predictions indicate that the demand for graduate and professional education will in North Carolina will increase more than 300 per cent in the next 10 years. "The three existing campuses will be called on . to take care of most of the expansion in the next decade.. However, there is every reason to believe that the demand for advanced professional and graduate education wil continue to expand and North Carolina will need another major university in the decade following 1975.

Mrs. Guy Johnson of Chapel Hill, member of the sponsoring N. C. Council on World Affairs, describ ed the purpose of the conference "to acquaint the citizens of North Carolina with the issues in world affairs and give them some back ground information by which they may judge world events. "So many people are confused about Viet Nam, for instance," she stated. "Somebody asked me just the other day why we keep dropping bombs in Viet Nam. 'Isn't it just awful? Why can't we do something about it,' he asked. "So many people don't understand that this is necessary in order to negotiate from strength instead of weakness," she said. Also taking part in the con ference will be Dr. Frank Porter Graham, UN representative for India and Pakistan; Dr. S. Shep ard Jones, Burton Craige, Profes sor of Political Science of UNC; Mr. Jack Lasley, director of the Institute for International Studies; and Dr. Anne Scott, assistant pro fessor of history at Duke Univer sity.

"The biggest problem will be in addiing to the faculty as the enrollment expands and as new positions become available through normal turnover. "Presently the faculty is quite satisfactory." Concerning the student body, King said, "I have looked at the records of every freshman admit ted last fall and I did not see a student that would not have been eligible for admission to the university." He noted that the quality of student at CC can be expected to remain high in the coming years since, "they have been using uni versity minimum admission stand ards for the last two years.

Marines, newly landed by sea and air, dug in methodically last night to re inforce defense of the Da Nang Air Base. The Muzzles of recoil less rifles and machine guns bristled from their lines. A single sniper's bullet symbo lized Communist objections to the buildup of American forces at the base, a key installation for strikes against both the Viet Cong and North Viet Nam. The bullet plowed harmlessly into one wing of a C130 transport inbound with a load of leather necks from Okinawa. The plane landed normally. Abroad, however, there was a barrage of criticism from Com munist quarters. And some non Communists, including leaders of the left wing of Britain's ruling Labor Party, joined in the outcry. In a typical comment, the So viet Government newspaper Iz vestia charged the landings were "a new phase of the aggressive policy of the U.S.A. in South Viet Nam" that showed Washington has decided to widen the war. A Viet Cong representative in Peking, Nguyen, Minh Phong, said the red guerrillas were con sidering retaliatory action. It was not brought out what form such retaliatory action might take. About 400 Viet Cong attacked a special forces camp in Binh Dinh Province, 120 miles south of Legislature Gets Court Bill i RALEIGH (AP) The 1965 General Assembly Monday night received a bill to completely revamp the North Carolina low er court system, including elim ination of justices of the reace and creation of a District Court Division. The 115-page measure was drafted by the 15 - member Courts Commission to imple ment a revision of the judicial article of the state Constitution. A statewide referendum was approved in November, 1962, calling for a change in the Con stitution by rewriting the ar ticle. The commission, established by the 1963 General Assembly and headed by. Sen. Lindsay Warren Jr., said it took 14 months to rewrite the section. The life of the commission ends Jan. 1, 1971, the constitutional deadline for completion of the implementation process. The bill leaves the State Su preme and Superior courts bas ically as they are, but places all lower courts under the new District Court Division. The three divisions make up the "General Court of Justice." The commission outlined the system this way: 1. The Supreme Court con tinues to possess its traditional general appellate jurisdiction and its limited recommendation of a original jurisdiction with respect to claims against the state. 2. Superior Courts possess general original jurisdiction "ex cept as otherwise provided by the General Assembly." 3. Clerks of Superior Court possess such jurisdiction and power as may be provided by the General Assembly by uni formly applicable general law. 4. The District Court and its magistrates possess such juris diction as may be provided by the Legislature. The bill establishes a post of magistrate as part of the Dis trict Court and gives that of fice some of the duties of the present justice of the peace. The bill makes the district judge a full-time elective office with an annual salary of S15,000. "One of the criticisms of our present system of lower courts has been that the judges were, for the most part, part-time of ficials whose primary interests lay in other directions and who therefore could not bring to the office the required degree of career-minded professionalism," the commission said in its 46 page report. The measure also outlines a uniform fee system ana pro vides for an administrative di rector, who will serve under the chief justice on a full-time ba sis. The commission said it would offer an appropriations bill at a later date that will not involve more than $1 million for the coming beinnium and "a sub stantial part of this will be off set by anticipated revenues from court costs." It said the "creation of the District Court Division of the Defend Viet Air Strip Dig Da Nang. They were reported to have killed at least 33 Govern ment troops, but left 57 of their own dead behind in retreat. There were scattered clashes elsewhere. In the Da Nang landings, the weather proved to be more of an annoyance than enemy action. Low clouds cut visibility of the C130 pilots. Heavy surf churned the beaches where marines, tanks and artillery streamed ashore frem landing craft. Six of the Marines were re ported injured. Two suffered broken legs and ribs of another were crushed. One had a head cut, one a cut' knee and another was burned while refuelling a vehicile. About 3,500 men, all from the 3rd Marine division on Okinawa, were involved in the movement, which is expected to be complet ed tomorrow. It was estimated 2,500 were on hand by dusk. Already on duty in the northern zone of South Viet Nam were about 1,200 Marines. One bat talion mans the hawk antiair craft missiles supplementing the fighter jets based at Da Nang. It is reported some of the hawks and some of the newly arrived marines will move to a 1,000-foot-high hill four miles west of the runway to plug a possible breach in the security system.

The Commission said the dis trict court will replace the near ly 200 general acts, special acts, municipal, county, do mestic relation, juvenile and ap proximately 1,000 justice of the peace courts. The Commission said it con sidered several alternative plans of implementation and de cided "on a middle ground po sition which immediately cre ates district court districts throughout the state, but estab lishes district courts therein in accordance with a three-step schedule extending over a per iod of four years."

Despite the full-cocked appear ance of the helmetcd Marines outside their pup tents, they were pretty well guarded by Vietnam ese government soldiers manning outposts and ambush positions out side the base perimeter. As night settled, a land min planted by the Vietnamese army months ago went off about 500 yards from the company. A noncommissioned officer call ed: "Take it easy, it's probably only a rat." In keeping with orders when combat is not considered immi nent, most of the Marines did not have ammunition in their weapons. One who had a clip in his M14 rifle was told by an officer: "Get that damned ammunition out of there." The ground rules appeared somewhat vague. But the battal ion commander, Lt. Col. Herbert J. Bain, said his men were ready to tackle anything. Capt. Richard Ross of Lin coln, Kan., who had previously spent five weeks in Viet Nam as an observer, remarked that "those government posts out there are good ones." "I helped set up some of them a couple of months ago," he said. Sgt. Earl House of Garden Grove, Calif., reached the base at 2 p.m. and was well estab lished in a command post tent by nightfall.

Herb Billicli, a junior from Ne.v York City, said he was participat ing to demonstrate sympathy for the people of Selma. "Through this form of protest the American public can be made aware of the crimes and assaults by the state police on the Negroes of Alabama," he said. No further demonstrations were planned, a group spokesman said.
