The South9 s Largest College Newspaper Founded Feb. 23, 1893 CHAPEL HILL, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, APRIL 1, 1965 Volume 72, Number 123 Editor's Notebook WITH FRED SEELY With all the agitation lately over "Yankee meddlers" com bing to the South to "interfere" : with local authorities in civil Vrights matters, it is encourag ing to see a program designed ; to bring some latter - day car petbaggers to our state to ob serve civil rights conditions with ' an open mind. Thp Flailv Cardinal cfurlpnf newspaper on the University of Wisconsin, reported last Satur day that a group was being or . ganized to tour North Carolina during spring vacation. Called : "Project Understanding," it will bring 40 faculty and students from UW of all political bents to visit the South, attend class es in several schools and take . a general look - see. It was organized by Quinton Baker, a familiar face to many in this area. He was co - chair man of the local chapter of the Congress of Racial Equality while a UNC student, and was ne of the group who received harsh jail terms last spring. He served two months of a six month sentence before being pa roled. r "This is an experiment," Baker told the Daily Cardinal. "The idea is to take a group of students with diverse views and opinions and see what ef fect this experience has on pre vailing attitudes." He indicated that "diverse" campus organi zations, ranging from Young Americans for Freedom to the DuBois Club would be asked to participate. s All that would toe required of the participants: he added,! would be that they report, back to their organizations. I Baker's idea is a laudable! one, and we wish it every suc cess. It could be a great experi ence fo the 40 chosen, and we suspect" they will find a tre mendous amount of the "under standing" they seek if they open their minds far enough for .it to come through. However, we do have our doubts. For one thing, we sus tect the ,40 who show up will be top - heavy with people who be- The student government ad lievethe South is somewhere ministration of Bob Spearman near the end of the world, and will come to an end tonight that whippings and lynchings occur as regularly as barbecues and groups of darkies sitting around fires singing "Old Black Joe." Another point of concern is the schedule. Of the schools which the 40 will visit, all are Negro colleges, and emphasis seems to be placed on "meet- ing with Negro students and teachers." If true understanding is to be had, we doubt that talk- ins exclusively to Negro stu- dents at Negro colleges will give the full picture. Of course, Baker adds, there will be unexpected visits to the homes of some local farmers and talks with state and local officials. This doesn't strike us as- be- ing conducive to understanding, either. The governmental offi- cials can be" expected to pull out. their statistics which do an excellent job of confusing every- fices of clerk and pariimentari one. and "unexpected visits" to an.

UNC's director of admissions has the responsibility of telling students that they cannot be ad mitted to the University. And his job gets worse every year. As of Monday there were 8,699 applications for freshman admittance next fall. Only 2,100 will be admitted, an increase of nine per cent over the 1,921 admitted in September 1964. Of the 8,699 students, 4,956 are from North Carolina and 3,501 are from out-of-state. There are also 242 applications from sons and daughters of alumni who are not living in North Carolina but who are exempt from the strict 15 per cent out-of-state quota. Last year at approximately this time, there were 6,344 ap- plications for admission an incite over me year oi t,ooo or 37 per cent. Transfer Students In addition, there are .2,162 apphcations from transfer stu- dents. Of these, 1,170 are from North Carolina and 992 are from out - of - state, including those exempt from the quota. Bernard said that a limit on freshman class size was first set on the group arriving in September 1962 ,and such lim- its have been the rule ever since. This year the problem is worse than ever. One reason is the increasing number of high school graduates. North Caro- lina alone had over 14,000 in 1964. UJMU's enrollment next fall will probably be over 12,000, and Bernard expects the peak of overcrowding shortlv after 1970. Student enrollment for 1970 is projected at 15,000. How- ever, the problem won't be re- SG Officers Inauguration Set Tonight when newly elected president Paul Dickson is inaugurated be fore the regular session of Stu dent Legislature.

Admissions Director duced unless the Central A sembly grants the University money for sufficient facilities to handle the increased number of students and faculty. ' Current admissions require- ments are 800 on the college board scores and a predicted grade average of 2.0. The pre- dieted grade average was raised from 1.5 two years ago to ease the strain on admission, The predicted grade average is a combination of college board scores and high school grades, with the latter having the greater weight. The Educa- tional Testing Service estab- lished the general method of deriving the formula, but each university has its own varia- tinns AMhmoh fho rr,;,, iPfrp hnarrt is roo. the average fnr inrnm. io cfnntc utu.

Bernard said next year's entering class should eas ily reach that average. Smart Women Freshman women in the lib eral arts program will be better scholastically than men be cause of greater competition for fewer openings. The 125 women liberal arts majors who entered last fall had an average col lege board score of 1,200 and a predicted grade average of 2.5. Fifty - six Morehead Scholars will enter UNC in September, compared with 49 last year. One of the 56 was admitted last year but was granted a one - year postponement. This year 67 awards were offered, but 12 stu dents declined the scholarship Bernard said, "We lost one to Williams, one to Yale, and the rest to Princeton and Har vard." Bernard said that students to day are greatly improved in scholastic ability over those in his generation. He also said that the "youngster concerned with going to college purely on a so cial basis" is among the minor ity. He felt that students of his generation were "unrealistic" in their attitudes because they were so security conscious. j Comparing the admissions sit uation here with other schools, Bernard .said that all face the same problem in proportion to size. UNC has always had a certain amount of overcrowd ing because North Carolinians think of it as the "home school." In addition, there is a trend toward state - supported schools. This is due in part to the rising costs of private schools and the increasing quality and size of state - supported institutions. " Bernard said that many peo ple in the past considered the state school as the school of last resort, but "no one can take state - supported school admis- . sion for granted any more." Applications For 1966 The volume of admissions work used to be concentrated in the early summer, but Ber nard said that applications for . the fall of 1966 have already started coming in. And he ex pects the concentration to be next December, January and February. He said next year's entering class was filled as of March 1. Bernard served as the first director of Charlotte. College in 1946 - 47. He came to Chapel Hill in 1947 to do graduate work, and he later taught in the Department of Political Sci ence for several years. In 1948 he was appointed assistant di rector of admissions. He has been director of admissions i- 1 . since 1958. Late Walk Gives Yale 4-3 Margin By PETE GAMMONS DTH Asst. Sports Editor Yale literally walked away with the game yesterday as UNC relief pitcher Buddy Cohoon walked Bob Semisch in the ninth inning to force in the winning run for a 4-3 win. Trailing 3-2 going into the ninth, the Elis touched Walt Ward for two walks and a sin gle to tie, then got two more walks from Cohoon to produce the winning run. Second baseman Bob Grasso, a thorn in the side of the Tar Heels all afternoon, singled in the tying run and scored the winning marker. Six Hits Righthander Jim Bourne stopped Carolina on six hits and collected his second win of the season, while Ward, making his first varsity appearance, was the loser. The Tar Heels drew first blood in the bottom of the first on a single by Dickie Prindle, a walk to . Gary Black, and an error by Grasso. They made it 2 - 0 in the fifth when Bourne loaded the bases with walks, and Black hit a long sacrifice fly. j For five .innings Bill Danne man shut out the Elis on two hits, but he tired as they tied up the score in the sixth. Gras so led off the inning with a tri ple into the right ; field corner and scored on a single by first baseman Bob Bartlett. Ties Score After center fielder Jack Walsh singled, third baseman Rick Sewall tied the score with a bounder between first and second into right field. : Ward came on and retired the side when leftfielder Bob Hume made a perfect throw to the plate to nail Walsh. The Tar Heels meet VPI here at 3 p.nu today. . : . - -r Marcel Sets Talk Friday In Dey Hall Gabriel Marcel, French phi losopher, playwright and liter ary critic, will give a public lecture in Gerrard at 4:30 p.m. Friday.

He is not the well-rounded man' who rolls any way' you push him; "The artist is the unreason able manwho does something for the world." This was the comment of composer - educator William Schuman who spoke on "The Arts and Higher Education" yesterday afetrnoon in Hill Hall." Schuman's appearance was a part of the Fine Arts Festival now in its third day on campus. Last night in Memorial Hall an all - Schuman concert was presented by the University Chorus, the Men's Glee Club and the University Symphony Orchestra. Two Questions The president of New York's Lincoln Center for the Perform ing Arts confronted his audience of approximately 250 people with two questions: "Can the arts survive with out the academic community?" and "Can the arts survive with in the academic community?" According to Schuman, art is aristocratic as opposed to dem ocratic. Only after a work of art has been completed is there a place for democracy for work by all. - The secret of the universality of the arts, said Schuman, is their power to communicate with man on a level which ex ceeds words. 3t V i J PETER NERO . . at Tuesday concert D)Beid s::srr - r " the Chest's five Association, the Fine Arts Festival Speaker Commenting on the change with the years of the relative categories - of -"liberal" -and "conservative" by which artists Dental Training Workshop To Be Held In Summer The first intensive training program in the U. S. for teach ers and would - be teachers of chairside assistants in dental of fices will be established as a pilot project this summer at the School of Denistry. The W. K. Kellogg Founda tion of Battle Creek, Mich., has approved a grant of $18,500 to finance a four - week workshop here for 25 teacher - trainees. The workshop is aimed at remedying a critical shortage of qualified teachers for dental as sistant training programs. In announcing the grant, the Kellogg Foundation noted that on - the - job training of dental assistants is inefficient and un economical, and a definite trend is now in evidence in formaliz ing such training through pro grams in junior colleges and technical institutes. "While the dental and edu cational professions estimate the number of such programs may grow to several hundred, there now are less than 40 in opera tion partly because of a basic problem of finding qualified teachers and upgrading teach ing staffs in existing programs." Dr. John C. Brauer, dean of the Dental School, said the workshp will begin on June 14. Top priority for admission to the workshop will be given to teachers already employed in dental assistant programs in the U. S. and those who already have commitments to teach den tal assisting at the college lev el. The only cost to selected trainees will be for transporta tion to and from Chapel Hill. The Kellogg grant will cover all other costs. The workshop here is expect ed to serve as a model for de veloping similar workshops in other areas of the country. Brauer said admission to the workshop will be granted in the order that applications are re ceived. ORDER OF THE OLD WELL Application blanks to the Or der of the Old Well have been mailed.

Later in life he is tagged "moderate" and then "conservative." A hearty round of laughter came when Schuman said: "I hope I am around long enough to be considered reactionary." After his talk Schuman opened the floor to questions. One student asked about the set up of the National Ballet. He answered the question by speaking on the financial end of being an artist and conclud ed with this remark: The business of the arts is not to make money, but to lose money wisely."

The March 23 election in that district was marred by ballot tampering. Officials from both the Stu dent Party and the University Party were present at the ses sion to present their views on the controversy. The Student Party, whose en dorsees had unofficially cap tured three of the four seats in that district, sought a reversal of the council's earlier decision to hold a complete re-election there. The fourth seat in that dis trict was contested by Steve Hockfield (SP) and Phil Kirstein (UP). Unofficial returns election night had showed Kirstein ahead of Hockfield by one vote, but a recount the next morning showed that about 10 votes had been tampered with during the night, and Kirstein was given a 10 - vote lead. Recounting showed Hockfield had gained one vote over his election night tabulation. Ballots Changed Elections Board Chairman Bill Schmidt told the council that seven ballots had definite ly been tampered with in Kir stein's favor, and three other ballots appeared to have been tampered with. SP officials claimed that be cause the election discrepancies involved only Kirstein and Hockfield, according to tally comparison, the council should have called for a run - off elec tion between the two for t h o fourth seat in that district. "What js the reason for hav ing a re - election between these six candidates," SP Floor lead er Arthur Hays asked the coun- -cil. "It would be an injustice to involve these other six candi dates in a complete re-election. "Even Mr. Kirstein has called only for a run - off between himself and Mr. Hockfield," Hays said. Student Party officials have said the SP candidates would probably be hurt seriously if the entire slate of legislative candidates were involved in a complete re - election in Dis trict II, as the SP would have greater difficulty getting out its vote than the UP. University Party spokesmen claimed that there was no way of telling for certain how many ballots were tampered with aft er the election. "If you can't decide without doubt that the tampering affect ed Mr. Kirstein's tally only in the original results, then the council must call for a com plete re - election in District II," former UP chairman Mike Chanin said. The council deliberated 40 minutes before reaching a de cision in favor of holding the complete re - election. "The Council felt there was a lot of meat .to both argu ments," chairman Van MacNair said in presenting the decision, "but we decided that our origi nal decision of last Monday should be upheld. The council was still deliber ating the election controversy in Men's District VI at press time.
