Galbraith Says Job Corps B est Part Of Poverty War "Is it possible to get rid of poverty? It certainly is, but you , can't do it unless you try." John Kenneth Galbraith, statesman, scholar, educator and writer, made the statement yes terday after speaking to more . than 1,000 UNC students in Hill Hall. "The Job Corps is the most important part of President Johnson's war on poverty. There are a lot of people who lose out on education and this gives them a second chance," he said. "But I'm somewhat less en thusiastic about the community c action plans. I think perhaps " they should have stronger fed eral control.

Plans are for the festival with the Carolina Symposium., The festival has met with approval. John Schnorrenberg of the Department of Art and a member of the Festival Committee, said with the turnout. "The first thing treme interest hown by everyone, especially students.

We got double the audience attendance that we had anticipated." Aldridge gave a brief history "The Fine Arts Festival grew out of an experimental program - of a similar nature held here in 1944. The Carolina Workshop, as it was called, concentrated more on local artists than did the festival.

Asked if the President's anti poverty program had been put together too hastily, he said the program is "necessarily one of trial and error." "It was discussed in Wash ington for months and I was quite extensively involved in the planning." He said, "We'll have to learn by experience.

Galbraith said he is aware of North Carolina's anti - poverty program, but "I only know what I've read in the papers. I real ly don't know enough to com ment on it. I certainly encour age all state - level programs of this sort." In his Hill Hall speech Gal braith praised President John son for his willingness to ne gotiate on the Viet Nam situa tion. Military Terms He said that one mistake the United States has made was to understand the Viet Cong "only in military terms," He urged students to take a "deep personal involvement" in the Viet Nam war. He said oth er considerations such as civil rights work and the "nomencla ture of certain institutions" should not could out considera tion of foreign policy. Galbraith delivered a talk on "A Modern Foreign Policy." He said that old ideas such as the communist "monolith" must be traded in and new ap prasials tiven to foreign mat ters. He said the United States should look at itself in a criti cal vein instead of assuming an other nation is wrong just be cause it disagrees with us. "We should see if we are not out of step" with the times, he asserted. At this time, he said, many Americans feel . "if the Soviets want something, it's a fair as sumption that they shouldn't have it." Change Difficult It is often difficult for the United States to change policy, he said. The former Ambassa dor to India said that once the State Department, the Pentagon and other policy making bodies set a course, they are propelled by their own incertia and are re luctant to change course. This has produced what he called an incomplete accommo dation to change. Galbraith said accommodation is not a policy of weakness or withdrawal. In stead it "avoids taking positions that can only lead to retreat." He called this a policy of strength. Galbraith's appearance was a part of the Carolina Forum's speaker series.

The Senate voted overwhelm ingly for the name. There was no dissenting debate. The bill was then rushed to the house where rules were sus pended and the measure enact ed." The upper house first adooted a bill from the Higher Educa tion Committee to name the school North Carolina Universi ty at Raleigh. Sen. Sam Whitehurst of Crav en offered amendments to the bill. The amendments substitut ed North Carolina State Univer sity at Raleigh for North Caro- lma Universitv at Raleich throughout the bill. The measure was approved by a strong voice vote. The ease with which the bill passed the Senate showed that the issue had . been settled off the floor. A Consolidated University of ficial predicted Wednesday night that passage . of the new name was imminent. Strongest opposition to the bill was centered in the Senate. Popular support in the House was lead by Camden Rep George Woods, an N. C. State alumnus. Consolidated University Pres ident William Friday said he had no statement on the name change. The . Consolidated University . had. fought the new name, charg ing that it would be dangerous to the concept of consolidation ' N. C. State Chancellor John T.

"It seems that the legislature is more concerned with their own well - being as politicians than they are in the future of the state, because the future of the state depends on the unity of its entire educational system. "I support the Consolidated University," he said. DTH co - editor Hugh Stevens said, "I am somewhat disgust ed by the evidence that Gover nor Moore, himself an lumnus of this University, could have turned his back on the wishes of its trustees by sending his legislative liaison, Joe Branch, to the legislators to worK in lav or of the name change.

Bill Fishburne, co - editor of the Technician, said, "I'm very happy the whole thing is over with. I don't think the name is critical to the well-being of the school. "I hope the Legislature moves on now to something: more im portant like amending the " Speaker Ban Law." Bob Holmes, the other co -editor, agreed, and said he and Fishburne both personally fav ored the name "University of North Carolina at Raleigh." But Terry Lowder, vice pres . ident of the State student body, said, "It's fantastic. It's the cul mination of a lot of. hard work. For a month or so we've been going through the dorms, urg ing the students to contact their representatives in the General Assembly. "One fact which can't be over looked, though, is the tremend ous response of the students. Many of them wrote letters and paid their senators personal vis its," Lowder said. A letter from John Atkins, student body president, was pre sented to Gov. Dan Moore yes terday just before his press con ference. Lowder said it thanked Moore for "not opposing the name 'North Carolina State University.' " Student body presidential can didate Jackie Mitchell said the campus was "very elated."

"This will help us regain our Change lar lack of respect for the total University and its meaning to this state. The alumni and stu dents at Raleigh should have learned long ago that they are part of something bigger than themselves; apparently they didn't." Most students at UNC-G feci that the name change is "a lot of squabbling over something that is not very important," ac cording to Pam Dickson, presi dent of the UNC-G student body. "We felt that the old name was not adequate," Miss Dick son said, "but most of us hadn't really heard a lot about it. "Anyway we are happy that State is happy now," she said. Miss Dickson said she person ally was "surprised" at the leg islative vote. "The alumni have talked long and hard. They must have finally got their point across," she said. Reaction: identity and heritage," he said. Chancellor John T. Caldwell was pleased with the name. He issued this statement: "The action on the name of N. C. State is the product of great public interest that has been aroused in this question as a result of alumni loyalty, af fection and persistance. "When it proved impossible for this difficult issue to be re solved by the Board of Trustees within the Consolidated Univer sity family, it became unavoid able, but entirely appropriate that 1 the General Assembly should act to resolve it. - "The General Assembly has acted in its wisdom for the in terest of North Carolina and its system of higher education. "The one University concept defined by the statutes of the University of North Carolina is reaffirmed and protected. "It must be said that N. C. State neither gained nor lost quality by this action. Now that the name has been changed, we must remember that no name in itself can confirm automat ically the high quality and pres tige we assert and desire for N. C. State. "It is now incumbent upon all who supported the decision to join as vigorously in other causes for the educational ad vancement of North Carolina and demonstrate in every prac tical way their support of the one University concept as well as for this campus. "The tremendous challenge of our times demands of us all ded ication to develop a great, free unified university of highest ex cellence. 'The state needs it. America needs it. The developments of the past few hours and the ded ication of scores of sincere lead ers has provided a basis for closing ranks and producing it."
