T .key Were Good Ehom V - : General Lee Situation There they heard calls for strong legislation to guarantee Negro voting rights in the South and a suggestion that Johnson himself go to troubled Selma. And the delegates who went to the White House came away saying they expect presidential action soon to cope with the Ala bama troubles that have exploded into violence. In Selma yesterday the city public safety director cut down a rope strung across the street at a police blockade Friday but said Negroes would not be allowed to march. Wilson Baker walked up in the rain, pulled out his pocketknife and slashed the clothesline in two after the city council had voted not to permit any further marches in Selma. The rope was no more than a symbol, Baker said. A Negro minister said that re moval of the rope in no way could be considered a victory by his peo ple. About 400 Negroes, standing five abreast in the chilling rain, were backed up behind the barricade; they still hoped to walk to the Dallas County courthouse in mem ory of a slain Boston minister. When Baker cut down the rope, he told newsmen: "I put this thing up on my own and I'm taking it down on my own. I didn't confer with the mayor about it. But they're not coming through." The rope was down but the Rev. L. L. Anderson, a Selma Negro minister, said, "we will not con sider this a victory." The minister said that "if it were left to Mr. Baker, I believe Mr. Baker would get out of the way and let us march to the court house." In Montgomery Negro witnesses told a federal judge today that children were beaten and tear gas was fired into a home when officers broke up a protest march Sunday at Selma, focal point of a right-to-vote drive. Margaret Moore, a Negro High School teacher, said that state troopers threw tear gas and "the children got excited and started screaming and the officers start ed beating them." The witness was one of several who testified on the second day of a a hearing before U. S. Dist. Judge Frank M. Johnson Jr. The hearing was on a request by Negro leaders for a court or der prohobiting officers from in terfering with a planned march from Selma to the state capital here. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Ne gor integration leader who start ed the voter regislration campaign at Selma several weeks ago, testi fied Thursday that there was "a long night of police brutality" against Negroes in the Black Belt, a strip of rich, black soil in the lower half of Alabama.

N.C.FundSel For Federal ropriation "Federal funds will be released in a day or two in connection with North Carolina's war on poverty." George H. Esser Jr., executive director of , the North Carolina Fund, in a lecture here Thursday evening said: 'The $54,000,000 al lotment will be expanded to $100, 000,000 next year. This aid will enable the already existing Caro lina Fund to be used by principals and educators. Proposals will be drawn up to take advantage of Federal resources." Low Education He went on to say in his dis cussion of the educational impli cations of the North Carolina fund that "in North Carolina one of six is illiterate, and the mean level of education is two grades below the national average. "Children from deprised homes start school already a year behind children ' from the other side:- of the - tracks." He said the initial grants are to evaluate the process by which community agencies can work to gether to plan and administer a total program of self-help. Large Percentage "North Carolina has one of the largest percentages of illiterates, but : also more people who want to take advantage of the project," he asserted. "Already 66 of 100 counties have undertaken studies of their com munities, and of these all have been given grants for more com prehensive study" Esser said. Last year 100 volunteers worked with the fund in various areas nf the . state. ... : -, : "The number, of recruits is be ing expanded to 250 this year," said Esser, "and a movie, 'The First One Hundred' will be shown on campus to acquaint students with the fund's activities."

Lee is good enough for the members of Kappa Alpha this week as they grow beards and practice rebel yells in preparation for their annual Old South Ball. Every year since the 180's, members from six to eight KA chapters have gathered for a weekend of reliving those glorious days when every county had a big plantation and the odor of jasmine and magnolia filled the air. Prizes Offered To assure reality and authenticity, prizes are offered for the best beard and the best costume. In a unprecedented departure from tradition, the local KA chapter - has decided to secede from the ball this year and and conduct one of their own at Atlantic Beach. It's just a temporary arrangement, they say. "Our chapters are located all in the South,'" brother Buddy Copper said. "It's as if we extended the Mason-Dixon Line from Maryland out to California." , A total of 90 persons will take their mint julip mix and Con federate flags to the seaside. "This year we are celebrating our centennial year, he said. "We were, founded in 1865." "We've got Maurice and the Zodiacs, Little Chip and the Fire Sparks and the Beetles," Cooper said. That last group does not come from England, Cooper said. "They are all North Carolina boys." - a Dress for the occasion will be top hats, ruffled shirts and swallow-tail coats, much the same as John C. Calhoun might haVlostnof the KA's agree that vice president, Borden Parker, deserves the prize for the biggest beard. Cooper said that Park SvTawC to grow hair was more a reflection of his drinking ability than of his virility. : ... "Borden's a big bourbon man, he said. "Drinks only Virginia Gentleman."

Name Change Win Predicted RALEIGH ; UPl The sponsor of the North Carolina State name change bill said Friday the mea sure gathered so much speed in the House he is confident it will roll . through the Senate. . "I can not remember a bill with such momentum behind it in either, body that has been de- feated in the other house," said Rep. George Wood of Camden. Wood and the bill's two mana gers in the supper house, Sens. Walter Jones of Pitt and Sam Whitehurst of Craven, conferred with Lt. Gov. Bob Scott after Friday's session. Wood's only comment on the meeting: "We didn't do much. We just chewed, the fat." The Camden farmer-businessman is president of the N. C. State Alumni Association which For Lee Decision Attacked ge V '-'V I V i If By Wi has pushed for the name change. Uncle Is Chairman Scott's uncle, Sen. Ralph Scott of Alamance, is chairman of the Senate Higher Education Commit tee which will start considering the bill next week. Sen. Scott, also state alumnus has said he is strongly against the measure. Jones and Whitehurst are on the committee. The bill would change the name of North Carolina State of the University of North Carolina at Raleigh to North Carolina State University at Raleigh, When asked whether Jones and Whitehurst have expressed opti mism about the bill, he replied: "I haven't given them a chance to say anything pessimistic." Dosen't Agree Wood said he did not agree with statements by University officials that his bill would put a crack in the Consolidated University system. "My bill spells out the one uni versity concept better than the 1963 Consolidation Bill," he said. "It says there shall be but one university in the state of North Carolina. "I just think we should main tain our identity," Wood continu ed. "The bill would have nothing to do with the present functions of the University." Wood, a memhr of the UNC Board of Trustees, said he thought a unified management for the university was imperative. "We can't afford to do without it," he added. The lawmakers said graduates of UNC-G were also against the 1963 Act which changed the school's name from Woman's Col lege. Women Upset "Lots of the women were up set," he said. "But they weren't involved deeply enough in poli tics to get in a position to have it changed.

The Elec II tions Board has reminded students that defacing or tear II ing down campaign literature is an Honor Council viola is tion. 7 &od Volume 72, Number 112 eveieoi SL Hears Maupin 9s Blast By JOHN GREENBACKER DTII Staff Writer "The recent faculty decision on restrictive clauses in fraternities and sororities stops just short of being administrative tyranny," Rep. Armistead Maupin (UP) told Student Legislature Thursday. Maupin made the remarks to the body after withdrawing from consideration a resolution spon sored by him and Clark Crampton (UP) which reaffirms "the right of private social organizations to determine their own criteria for membership without outside coer cion." He referred to the Faculty Com mittee on Sororities and Fraterni ties' decision to give University chartered socal organizations until September 1966 to get rid of dis criminatory clauses in their by laws or constitutions. In its decision, the committee defined discriminatory require ments as those "which prohibit the local chapter from pledging or initiating any student in the Uni versity because of his or her race, creed or national origin." Quotes Bodman Maupin quoted committee chair man Dr. Herbert Bodman's state ments about clauses limiting mem bership to some organizations to individuals "socially acceptable to national." Bodman said the committee would have no rule on the intent of the clause in each case. If the . clause was being used to discrimi- " nate on the basis of race, "creed or national origin, then it would be unacceptable. "How would you be able to prove whether or not 'socially ac ceptable clauses are used to dis criminate," Maupin asked. "It strikes me as just a little bit ironical that the people who do the most ranting about aca demic freedom are the first to use threats and coercion against private social organizations at the University," Maupin said. "It strikes me as just a little ironical that the people who do the most talking about local auto nomy are the first to applaud when that autonomy is crushed under the heel of a dictating body. 'The greatest myth surrounding the decision of the faculty commti tee," Maupin said, "is that the committee has strengthened the local autonomy of the organiza tions concerned. 'That is nowhere close to the truth. The committee has driven its wedge into both the nationals and the locals. "I am a little tired," he said, "of hearing the word 'freedom' tossed about by people who con strue that word to be the right to compel others to accept their own sociological values. "The other day, the Daily Tar Heel gave the impression that student government's reaction to the new policy was highly favor able," he said. "If only to keep from making it unanimous," Maupin said, "I would like to express my distaste for the decision and for the people who have inflicted it upon this University." Pledge Card A bill introduced by Tom Can non (UP) calling for the removal of the MCA pledge card from the official University matriculation card was not acted upon because of a lack of a quorum in the body. Action on the bill was halted after opponents of the measure walked out of the chamber, leav ing less than the number of rep resentatives necessary to carry on business in SL. Cannon told the body, "The Y should be removed from its spec ial status. "It should have no trouble rais ing money for its activities alone, without the official help of the Uni versity," he said. "If the Y can solicit money cn this University form," he said, "the why can't any organization on campus use them." Jim Little SP) argued against bill, saying the Y would have to request Student Government funds for its activities if the pledge card were left off the matricula tion form. C Continued on page 3)
