Now Happy Days The joy ful news that Spring Holidays . have been extended by five days will no doubt be greeted with whoops of en thusiasm from Carolina students and employees who have been grappling with the problem of cramming a real "vacation" into a long weekend. It became obvious some weeks ago that the spring calendar, which was drawn up several years ago, simply was not equitable. It called for the longest possible academic semester (Feb. 1 to June 7) with the most minimal of holi- Hamburgers8 ...

Duke's Dollars Should Inspire Us The Ralegh Times Duke University's trustees feel- that the University must have $187,000,000 in additional funds during the next decade to meet the challenges facing it. That is a great deal of money. But, the trustees of Duke are hard-headed busi nessmen, and they most surely wouldn't embark on any such venture if they weren't sure that the challenges are at least bigger than the money. The needs cover the entire range of the University: New buildings, more endowment funds for strengthening the faculty, more fel lowships, scholarships, a stronger libr ary. The Duke need is very real. If Duke is to rank with the best in the nation, this vast sum of money must be found. And, undoubtedly it will be found. r What the Duke trustees have decided must be done for this university has a very special meaning for the 1965 North Carolina General Assembly. For, Duke's needs and the needs of the public in stitutions of higher learning in North Carolina are similar. The similarity is especially true when the comparison is 72 Years of Editorial Freedom 1 ' r ' The Daily Tar Heel is the official news pebli- cation of the University of North Carolina and p is published by students daily except Mondays, examination periods and vacations. $ Fred Seely, Hugh Stevens , co-editors; Mike Yopp, Ernie McCrary, managing editors; Pete Wales, associate editor; Larry Tarle- H ton, sports editor; Mary Ellison Strother, wire editor; Mike Wiggin, night editor; erry Sipe, John Greenbacher, Fred Thorn- as ,staff writers; Richard Cummins, Mike Jennings, feature writers; Pete Gammons, asst. sports editor; Perry McCarty, Pete Cross, Bill Lee, Tom Haney, sports wriU- ers; Jock Luaterer, photographer; Chip Barnard, cartoonist; Jack Harington, bus.

Students faced with the prospect of a long drive to their homes or favorite springtime playgrounds had resigned themselves to class cutting, short visits and little or no rest. Now, however, the long February to March stretch will be broken by a more reasonable vacation, and we certainly speak for the entire Carolina student body in offering our gratitude for Chancellor Sharp's an nouncement. In addition to creating a more favor able spring calendar, the decision repre sents an outstanding example of coop eration between students, faculty and administrators. The Campus Affairs Committee of Student Government, headed by Faryl Sims and Lanny Shuff, tackled the prob lem first, including the research which revealed that several more class days than the minimum had been included in the schedule. The committee conveyed its findings to the Calendar Committee of the facul ty, which in turn consulted with the Chancellor. Thus the final decision is the result of some excellent work by the Campus Affairs Committee and fine cooperation on the part of both faculty and adminis tration. It is this type of joint effort, that has long set this University apart from similar institutions, and we hope that, every student will take time to express his gratitude to those concerned with correcting this situation. . with the Consolidated University of North Carolina. Both are universities. Both have high ranking in the nation:"4 Both have very special jobs to do in the very special task of leading the region and the nation in higher education. Duke has frozen her enrollment, to a figure around 5,000. On the other hand, the Consolidated Universty cannot freeze enrollment, and the three cmpuses now have a total enrollment of 25,000. The Duke needs are concentrated on the one campus. The Consolidated Uni versity needs are now to be found on three campuses, and in the not-distant future, there will be growing needs on a fourth campus. During the next decade, the Consoli dated University must face as wide a di versity of challenges as Duke must face. And, somehow the Consolidated Univer sity must help meet the needs of at least five times as many students as will Duke. All this isn't said with the thought of minimizing the Duke need. . It is simply said with the thought of reminding the people of North Carolina and their leg- islators that their duty to the many thou sands who will attend the Consolidated -University is as great as is the duty of the Duke trusteees to the needs of that university. For, in effect, the people of North Carolina are the real trustees of their Consolidated University. If Duke must have an additional $187, 000,000 during the next decade, the needs of the Consolidated University will be even greater. And, it is even more important- that the Consolidated University needs be met as fully, for the Consolidated University is more than an institution, it is a real part of the heart and mind and soul of this State. The Duke trustees and the Duke of ficials, able and resourceful men, will see to it that Duke's needs are met. The real trustees of the Consolidated Univer sity, must see to it that her needs are as fully met. It is vital that this meeting be begun adequately during this session of the leg islature. This will take a lot of doing, for there are other great needs, but it must be done. One way to do it would be for the leg islature to authorize an election on an adequate bond issue for higher education needs. ' -, A ' . r i Rmssell Considers By TIMOTHY RAY - Fifth in a Series In previous articles of this series it has been pointed out that the public forum for the discussion . of issues of current importance which was begun in Chapel Hill by James Gardner and others under the title of Free Speech Movement, or For um, is not under the sponsorship of the campus YMCA, and ev eryone was encouraged to at tend this public forum, especi i .ally considering that a person's attendance is not taken to sig nify that he holds any particular viewpoint on the topic of dis cussion. This Saturday at noon the For um will be held in Y Court, or, in the event of inclement wea ther, inside Gerrard Hall. Re presentatives of both student go vernment and fraternities, in cluding the President of the Stu dent Body, will address the question of the role of fraterni ties in the life of the University- - It now appears that there may be . more fraternity members than independents present at this meeting. In order that the discussion be a lively one, I urge that any person who wish es to raise questions about the role of fraternities at Carolina be present, as well as those who believe strongly in the value of this form of social organization. In the next few days, a blue colored informative pamphlet, dealing with the war in Viet Nam, will be distributed on the campus. I hope that each stud ent, faculty members and staff person obtains a copy of this pamphlet, which consists of a collection of photographs and descriptions obtained from prominent newspapers and other publications, on the topic Rick Kramer m We recognize incumbent RICK KRAMER to be the best candidate for Carolina Athlstic Association President. His hard work and originality in planning the Homecoming Weekend, or ganizing the Carolina Sweet hearts, sponsoring DTH "Ath lete - of - the - Week," helping obtain new band uniforms, and other projects throughout the year made the . position for the first time a service to the en tire student community. We strongly urge RICK KRAMER's re-election. Bob Spearman President, Student Body Harrison Merrill Captain, Swimming Team President, Senior Class President, Fellowship of - Christian Ahtletes A D.

Student Legislature Jean Dillin It ' f - '9- y " it'- s" - r a- Winthrop Coll ege Inciden t of the ethics of treatment of prisoners by the Vietnamese Army. In fighting an evil enemy, the Viet Cong, the nationalist sold iers whom we are supporting have resorted to practicing their heinous, though usually unsuc cessful, methods of obtaining in formation from captives. It is a questionable position to oppose the forces of political subversion and, in the process, support the subversion of the time-honpred standards of military decency in the treatment of enemy forces and civilians alike. Last week an interesting pro blem in campus morality occur red. A sign advocating the can didacy of Norwood Pratt for editor of the DTH was surrepti tiously removed from the front of the YMCA building. Subse quently, a sign favoring anoth er candidate, one having the support of both political parties, was fastened in that place. Now I have no knowledge of whether there was any connec tion between these two acts. But if .there was, one might reason ably have doubts concerning the sportsmanship, not to mention the honor, of some of our fel low students. Parts III and IV of this series explained Gardner's questioning of the value of basing our op position to the Speaker ban on the position that the University is capable of self-regulation. Such regulation, whether ad ministered by the State or by University leaders, is a viola tion of academic freedom and of the ideals of education. The argument that the Ban is not 'needed' begs the question of what it would mean for it to be needed and, in addition, opens the University to future censure should the much desir ed freedom ever be exercised Robert Newlin Robert Newlin, Student Party candidate for President of the Carolina Athletic Association, is campaigning for full athletic participation. "Intramurals and minor sports have taken a back seat for too long. It's time they be given their proper emphasis both by students and aclminis tration." Elect Robert Newlin President oftheCAA.

A clear example of the weak ness of the approach which Gardner has criticized has re cently occurred. Governor Don ald Russell, a South Carolina statesman who has been aware of the inappropriateness of .the proposal of such a Ban for that State, has made a statement to the effect that . Winthrop College, which has been criticized for sponsoring an address by the eminent historian, Dr. Stringfel low Barr (also a critic of the House Committee on Unameri can Activities), should "screen its speakers more carefully" and he questioned "the need for this type of legislation in our state" (DTH, March 12). I hope it is superfluous to point out that, in a great na tion which had its origin in op position to existing authoritative institutions and which has histo rically insisted upon - its own heritage of the right of its citi zens to criticize, and to insist on limitations of the power of national government, opposi tion to a noted scholar on the ground that he has expressed the opinion that a governmental agency has threatened the lib erty of free men ought never to be uttered. This event is evidence that, even in the absence of a Speaker Ban, men often misunderstand the nature and the value of edu cation and that the removal, at any price, of such a Ban cannot guarantee the sanctity of t h e search for truth. Eternal vigi- . lance continues to be the price of freedom. Joe Churchill n We the undersigned do here by endorse Joe Churchill for President of the Carolina Ath letic Association. He is a very talented person whose qualifica tions are most suitable for the demands of this office. Joe's ex perience as a member of the varsity football team puts him closer to the problem at hand.

W? be lieve that Sherry O'Donnell, Student Party candidate for Se cretary, is both qualified and has served as Corre sponding Secretary of State Stu dent Legislature this year and has worked in Student Govern ment offices for three hours a day, five days a week sence September. For the past three summers she has worked in Go vernment offices as a secretary in Washington, J.

Men's Honor Council Bob Powell Debate Team President . SP Candidates ?s3 - In light of the referendum held this past fall on UNC's af filiation with NSA, the present contest for delegates to the Na tional Student Congress should attract considerable attention. Having attended the past two congresses, I think that I can recognize some of the charac teristics which help make a re sponsible and influential dele gate. It is my opinion that the slate of candidates endorsed by the Student Party displays an abundance of these characteris tics. These four candidates, "Wright Doyle, Jeff Davis, Bob Powell, and John Shelburne, are all ac complished debaters with exper ience in a variety of student ac tivities. Three of the four are Morehead Scholars.. If labels are demanded, two of them can be considered "conservatves" and two can be considered "mo derates.". All four are pledged to bring back to the campus next year the knowledge they gain at the congress and to in creasingly publicize the activi ties of NSA. There can be no doubt in my mind that the SP candidates for NSA delegates are emminently qualified to represent UNC. I heartily endorse their candi dacy. Neal Jackson NSA Campus Coordinator One does not affix his name to an endorsement letter in behalf of a candidate for Secretary of the Student Body without con sidsrable thought. However, we, the undersigned, conscientiously believe that Camilla Walters is the candidate most eminently qualified for that office. Camilla combines the qual ities for a private secretary, an executive and a receptionist. Having proved her clerical abil ity as a class officer twice ar.i an Attorney General Staff mem ber, she has illustrated her ad ministrative talent as Secre tary of GLB with such pro ductions as Jubilee. We will vote for Camilla Wal ters, Will you join uS? Patsy Lefler, Women's Attorney General Tim Oliver, Men's Attorney General A. D. Frazier, Men's Attorynet General A. D.

A Morehead Scholar, Tom has . demonstrated his academic ability by making Phi Eta Sig ma, his administrative ability in his work with the Sympos ium and the Elections Board, and his interest in the job by his summer work in a bank and his future plans to go into busi ness law. Important, also, is Tom's view that the job of Treasurer is not , j a political office, """we feel that Tom is by far the most qualified man to ad minister the Student Govern ment's $200,000 bedget nxt year, and we urge your support.
