Spring's Biggest Hassle: Upper Quad SL Elections By JOHN GREENBACKER DTH Staff Writer Probably the hottest and most complex controversy to arise from spring elections is the has sle over Student Legislature seats in the Upper Quad, (Men's District VI.) The Student Government Con stitutional Council, headed by newly appointed Men's Council president Van MacNair, decid ed Monday to hold a re-election in District VI because testimony was introduced which proved, a. shortage of ballots in Mangum on election day forced about 10 persons away from the polls without voting for legislative -: seats. The story all began after the spring elections, when the votes were turned in to the Elections Board in Graham Memorial for tabulation. 1 Maupin Big Winner When the results were count ed, it was found that veteran legislator Armistead Maupin (UP) was the big winner in the district by a wide margin. Maupin's chief source of sup port came from Grimes which gave him over 90 "bullet votes" in his bid for re-election. Because only one candidate receives a vote on a "bullet vote" rather than the maximum number allowed, the voter is assured of helping the election of only one candidate rather ' than lessening . the value of his .support by giving secondary ' votes to other candidates on the ballot. t While Maupin was . very sue cessful in his bid for re-election, his fellow University Party can didate, Jim Robinson, was nosed out of the second legislative seat by Steve Jolly (SP) Jolly beat Robinson by two votes. With the election so hotly con- " tested, the outcome was bound to have post mortems of one form or another, ana tne situa tion in Mangum provided the grounds for continued contro versy ' '- ' ' " - BULLETIN : ( A new hearing . was declared late yesterday for the election hassle in Men's-District VI. will be held at 4 p.m. today in Graham Memorial. Student Party Floor Leader Arthur Havs said' the second hearing was called basically be cause "only one side", was heard at the original one. - H With The it The Fine Arts Festival, steps into its second day with these activities scheduled: . f ;4'tpim..'

WUNC Radio will carry the concert live. 4 . v . - 6 n.m. Delaved broadcast of Schuman's talk it 8 0 over WUNC Radio. i m i m Robinson filed a petition with the council calling for re-election on the grounds that the pos sible deciding votes of the elec tion were turned away from the polls in Mangum. He - gained a .decision - in - his favor from the Council, as the elections laws require that the Elections Board-supply an ade quate number of ballots for each polling station. Robinson is standing on the pure legality of his position, but he and the council's decision are already under fire from 'Citizenship9 Recruiter Visits Campus A recruiter for Encampment for Citizenship will be on cam pus today and Thursday to talk with students interested in at tending the six - week session this summer at Riverdale, N. Y. Kris Kleinbauer said the en campment will bring together about 100 people from various fields for an exchange of ideas. She said these fields might rep resent such fields as student government, civil rights or men tal health work. "There is little chance for people in these different areas to make contact," she said. She contrasted the encamp ment with organization meet ings wnere members meet and "mouth the same old slogans." Here, she said, students can dis cuss ideas and benefit from the mutual interchange of ideas. The encampment will be held at a preparatory school only a short subway, ride from Man hattan. She said this would make New York City a "re source laboratory" for drawing authorities to speak at the en . campment and also talk with those attending. The encampment will run "from June 20 to July 27. Cost is $300, but some scholarships are available. Interested students should con- tact Miss Kleinbauer at the Y Building Festival News Analysis Jolly and officials of the Student Party. Jolly and the SP point first to a common occurrence about campus elections at least one polling station runs out of bat lots during a big vote. "I've been on Board for two the Elections years now, Board Chairman Bill Schmidt said regarding the situation, "and every election isn't per fect." 'Human Error" Schmidt said a "human error" in the allotment of ballots caused the difficulty in Man gum, and explained that the in correct estimation of the num ber of ballots needed caused the 30 to 45 minute delay in the legislative voting. "When a slip - up like this occurs," Schmidt said, "the poll tender is instructed to copy down the names of all students who were turned away so that they might have a chance to cast their ballots at a later time for that race. he said, "the poll tender imme diately calls the Elections Board for replacements. Schmidt said such shortages or similar difficulties occurred in two other districts during the recent elections. "No one was deprived of his right to vote during this elec tion "Schmidt said. Jolly has pointed out, validly or otherwise, that the . shortage occurred in his own residence hall, which he carried by wide margin. The Student Party is mad about the decision, because it claims the re-election will give the University Party and Mau pin a chance to throw some of the excess Maupin support over to Robinson, thus assuring the UP control over the Upper Quad's two legislative seats. "The re-election will merely give the UP a chance to cor rect a miscalculation they made before election day," SP Floor Leader Arthur Hays said yes terday. "I'm very disappointed that the council didn't notify either Jolly or someone in the Student Party," he said. "Our side of the issue was never heard by: the council." I Other critics of the decision have said the precedent estab lished would give politicians the grounds for calling re-elections in almost every race Regardless of the implica tions, the council seems to agree that Mangum's lack of ballots and the fact that several voters were turned away from the polls and never returned constituted justifiable grounds for re-elec tion. Jolly says he will appeal the decision. MRC TO MEET Men's Residence Council will meet at 7 tonight on the third floor of New East. This will be a special policy meeting of all new .residence . hall presidents and MRC" representatives. This will be the only meeting of the MRC until after spring vaca tion, HVAC Votes KuKluxKUin Investigation WASHINGTON (AP) " A full - scale investigation of the Ku Klux Klan was voted unani mously Tuesday by the - House Committee on Un-American ac- tivities. - - ; The action was taken in closed session after federal of ficial indicated that the hooded night riders have been involved in what a committee spokes man called "a , number of re cent murders and other uncon stitutional acts of violence and terrorism." Chairman Edwin E. Willis, (D-La.) said the committee act ed "as soon as possible" : after President Johnson denounced the Klan in a nationwide broad cast last Friday as a "hooded society of bigots" and suggested a congressional probe. Willis described the investiga tion as a big job and said "it may be several weeks, perhaps a couple of months" before for mal hearings can begin "It will take time and effort and a lot of hard digging to develop facts needed for hear ings on which sound legislation can be enacted," he said. Willis announced also that the committee instructed him to carry on with a preliminary in quiry into activities of the Black Muslims, the American Nazi Party and the minute men. Speaking on the House floor, Rep. . James Martin,'; (R-Ala.) said the committee, should ex pand its investigations to in clude Negro civil rights groups. He mentioned specifically the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, the Congress of Ra cial Equality, the Southern Christian Leadership Confer ence, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and the Southern Con f erence Education Fund. "I have in the . past pointed out Communist infiltration ;of some of these organizations, Martin told the House. Declar ing, the committee should inves tigate all groups responsible for "the defiance of law and order in Alabama "he said: "We are against lyncliing and mob rule and killing, whether inspired by cowardly riders in the night or pious hypocrites agitating in the public streets." In announcing the committee's decision to investigate the KKK, Willis told reporters preliminary inquiry indicates that "shocking crimes are carried out by high ly secret action groups within the Klans." He said these groups are known as "knockoff squads" or "holy terrors," and are dis claimed by Klan officials when ever thev are caught. "These denials are designed to protect . those Klan leaders who are parties to the crimes committed and to mislead the Klan membership and the pub lic." Willis said. The Klan's present member ship has been estimated at no more than 15,000, compared with a peak of perhaps 5 mil lion in the post World War era. For The By BARBARA ANN FRANK DTH Feature Writer "Franklin Street was a dirt road with grassy ditches on both sides where the lights blinked at 11:30 p.m. and turned off at 12." Mrs. Mary Patterson Fisher, assistant librarian in the Rare Book Room, reminisced about Chapel Hill 60 years ago. "As a child I visited at my grandfather's home, which stood on the present site of Spencer Dormitory. The house belonged to the University and served as the home of the professor of Greek." Her grandfather, Dr Eben Alexander, Greek professor of the 13 - member faculty, was the founder of the Order of the Golden Fleece. "The campus has changed so much," she remembered. "It has grown so big and lost so much of its charm. Then it was so peaceful. People spent their time out - of - doors; now they don't take time to appreciate it. "I can remember vividly one afternoon when I went walking with Dr. Kemp Plummer Bat tle, then the University presi dent. How he loved the woods. We walked to the Meeting of the Waters, which was located just below the Ramshead park ing lot. It was a botanist's par adise, simply beautiful. It's a shame that places like that are. slowly disappearing from the campus Fo Faelcefl Carroll Hall ,...:;:;:;:j:::: VI. .

' Picture the campus as it was then. The Caldwell monument be tween the Old Well and Silent Sam was the center of campus. South Building faced the monu ment. - ' Big dances were held in By num, then the gymnasium. Da- vie was the botany building; Caldwell, the medical school The Playmaker Theater, first called Smith. Building, was the library. . The president's house was lo cated where. Swain now stands. Coker Arboretum, which had been a swampy field, was new - ly - planted. - "The traditions on campus have now been all but lost," says the long - time inhabitant. "Students don't know why the various buildings were named for certain people. They don't know the interesting facts about , the University." , Such as: : ' The first college observa- tory in America was located at the corner of the tennis courts near the Monogram Club. The site of the University! was" once called New Hope! .

The reference volumes, to be published by Harvard Univer sity Press, will contain a chro nology of the events in Words worth's life and of his writings. Reed, 29 - year - old gradu ate of Yale University who earned his doctorate at Harvard, has been working on the proj ect since 1960. The Guggenheim Fellowship will permit Reed to spend most of the next academic year in England. "I'm hoping this will give me a chance to do all the basic research necessary for the lat er volumes," he said. 'The first volume is virtually complete." A Fulbright Scholarship and a Frank Knox Memorial Trav eling Fellowship enabled Reed to do resea4ch on the work in England in 1960-61 : He has also worked on the project under an American Phil osophical Society grant. Reed joined the Department of English faculty here in 1963.

The white building on tie is an old wooden hotel Festival FAF Influence Cited By Sharp The 1965 Carolina Fine Arts Festival, "Encounter: Arts and the University," was opened yesterday by Poet Karl Sharpiro at a reading of his verse to a packed Carroll Hall auditorium. The Pulitizer Prize winner was preceeded by Chan cellor Paul F. Sharp who congratulated the Arts Festi val committee on the influence the next week was to have "on the intellectual development" of the University- Sharpiro was introduced by George M. Harper of the Department of English. The poet, whose book, "The Bourgeois Poei," was recently published, read from both his early verse and his unpublished verse and made comments on each of the poems. It's Of f icial: Brown Takes Coaching Job Larry Brown will begin today as assistant to UNC basketball coach Dean Smith. The 5 - 11 former backcourt star for the Tar Heels has planned to join the staff for a month, but it could not be made official until his contract with the Goodyear Wingfoots' termi nated. .' "We are most delighted to have him with us," Smith said yesterday. .-It is always nice to have someone who has worked under your own system return. "We feel very honored that he would turn his back on both lucritous business and playing careers to join us and coach. This shows true dedication to the task, which will be a great help." Smith Confident Smith said he feels confident that Brown can do the job and that "his experience in the sys tem" will be invaluable. After leading the Goodyear team to third place in the AAU tourney, Brown most recently played for the Cunningham All Stars. He was one of the first two players picked last week for the U. S. team to tour Russia along with Bill Bradley of Princeton. His work on the U. S. Olympic team was a key factor in win ning the gold medal. '' X Sharpiro won the Pulitizer Prize during World War II for his collection, "V-Lctter and Other Poems" and is dubbed by seme critics as representa tive of the Alan Ginsburg school of beat verse. He calls his latest collection of "poems or whatever they are" a series of "translations without originals." He said yesterday, "I had the feeling when I started that I didn't want them to be in the English language, but I couldn't write in any other language. "All the poems originally had titles but.. I took them out partly to confuse the issue " He apologized for the "bad taste" of some of his verse, then corrected himself. "There's no point in writing something like this, going to the trouble of get ting it published, and then apol ogizing for it," he said. Sharpiro teaches English at the University of Nebraska. De spite the fact that he often reads his poetry to an audience, he said today that "nothing is more painful to the poet than reading his old poems in pub lic. I find sometimes that after reading a poem, I no longer understand what I meant when I wrote it." Sharpiro visited several class es of the Department of English and was the guest of honor st a banquet given at Morehead Planetarium by University President William Friday last night. Composer William Schuman, president of Lincoln Center in New York and winner of t h e first pulitizer for music, will speak in Hill Hall at 4 p.m. to day. Tonight the University Chorus, the Men's Glee Club and the University Symphony will pre sent a concert of six Schuman works. 60 Years 3 which was replaced after the turn of the cm tury with Battle - Vance - Pettigrew residence halls.
