Miss Smith's novel "Joy In The Morning," has been made into a movie by MGM and the world premiere of the film will be held here May 5. Richard Chamberlain, star of the film, will come to Chapel Hill for the opening. Co - star Yvette Mimieux and actor Syd ney Blackmer will probably be present also. "It's really quite a big thing to have the premiere . here,' Miss Smith said. "I asked the people at MGM to do it, and much to my surprise I found out , about a month ago they were going to. "I think it's very appropriate to have it here. It's a college film and this is a college town. I live here and Sydney Black mer has lived here. I think the students here will enjoy the pre miere very much. "It's quite an unprecedented thing they're giving it the Hollywood treatment all t h e way." Miss Smith is" "very pleaspd" with the film . version of her book! 5 ; "They stayed pretty close to the theme of the book, and of course I was pleased they kept the same title. When I first saw the film I was a little - heart sick at some of the dialogue, and they combined a couple minor characters. But they had to do that to get the story into a movie. "I thought the actors were fine and the supporting cast was extremely good. I really have nothing to fincTfauIt with in the movie." . f MGM bought rights to the book in 1963, before it was pub lished, Miss Smith said. , She will be paid $100,000 for the movie rights over .a period of at least 10 years. - The film will be shown twice .at the premiere "so more peo ple can see it." , : v'The original plan was to show it once and charge $10 a seatrbut they decided to show t twice at $2 a seat so more students can come," she said. ; "Joy in the Morning" tells of the trials and joys of a young couple's first year of marriage as the husband tries to put .him self through law school with the wife's help. Miss Smith has lived in Chap el Hill for 23 years. "I came here for a six - week stay in 1834. When I started back to New York the bus had gone only two blocks when I changed my mind. The driver didn't want to let me off but everybody else -in the bus argued for me too, so he did. I've been here ever since and I really love it," she said. "I'm working onanother book right now. I'm going to call it Look Back With a Smile.' I started one I named A Child, a Tree, a Book,' but I had to stop work on it for about a month. When I went back and read what I had written I didn't like it. so I started over. .. "Getting started is the hard part. After about two chapters it falls .into place and the work is easier. "I always begin by writing in dialogue, like a play. Then I eo back and fill in and make changes. When I get about half - - i f , 1 way through l drop me dialogue everything is all set by then and I don't need to rely on the dialogue anv more. " "It's not easy writing. It seems simple, but the simplicity comes hard. Writing, is a nara way to make an . easy living, Miss Smith said. 5 Professors Win i Five faculty members were honored here to day for "excellent teaching" and for other accomplishment and were given citations and cash.

Knight said here Friday that the Speaker Ban Law is based on fear and is a "foolish" way to try to deal with communism. . Knight said the "easiest way" to removed any illusions about communism would be to "just put Gus Hall up on this stand and let some 18 - year - olds ask him some questions." The Duke president addressed graduates of the 12th annual Executive Program. One of the great problems of the day "is the need for main taining" individual freedom on one hand and order on the oth er," Knight said. "Our society was founded on the idea that we could somehow find a bal ance." Such a step as the Speaker Ban Law "is not the way we solve the problem of freedom," he said, "I've never yet dis covered that fear is any way of solving problems. It's a way of hiding." Knight said leaders of both the business world and higher education must relate them selves to "problems which make up the texture of America." They ' must also "exemplify a sense of balance" to help pre serve freedom and order, he added. $1,000 Prises faculty. Presentations were by Chancellor Paul F. Sharp.

"We shall continue diligently the pursuit of these goals in the confidence that they represent the desires and best interest of the total University and the peo ple of North Carolina." Victor Bryant, University trustee who had been working against the NCSU name said, "I have been apprehensive that the name change proposal would weaken consolidation. I hope time will prove I was wrong. "We have so many problems ahead of .us, and so much to be done, by our colleges and uni versities in North Carolina, that nothing should be permitted which would interfere with our best efforts in higher educa tion."

The law was passed yester day by the General Assembly, raising the hourly minimum wage from 85 cents. The in crease will become effective next Jan. 1. UNC Business Manager J. A.

He said some adjustment in the budget may be necessary if the increase is put into effect in September. Awards uiJbiiee 0 Dickson Hit For Decision To Back Move . By JOHN GREENBACKER DTH Staff Writer Student Body President Paul Dickson's recent decision to sup port the move of this year's Ju bilee weekend to Kenan Stadi um prompted a University Par ty legislator to accuse him of being "a prop - man . for the long finger of South Building" during Student Legislature Thursday. The Graham Memorial Activ ities Board announced last week that the spring Jubilee concerts to be held April 30 to May 2 would be held in Kenan Stadium rather than on the lawn in front of Graham Memorial. - The board cited disorderly conduct by students and visitors as factors in the decision, and banned alcoholic beverages from this year's Jubilee. Dickson , the Activities Board and Dean of Men William Long were attacked by Rep. Jim Smith after predominately Stu dent Party opposition voted to refuse consideration of a reso lution sponsored by Smith which condemned the board's decision. "I would like to express my extreme surprise," Smith said, "that the body did not allow the student body to voice its opinion on this decision by the activities board." Smith said Long was more resDonsible for the Jubilee change than Dickson or, the ac tivities board. "The reformer of South Build ing is trying to change a 100-year-old tradition of drinking at Carolina," he said. "I hate to tell him," Smith said, "but nothing will change this tradition." He also attacked the decision to keep students from other schools from coming to the cori certs as having "no reason" be hind it. Smith had sought ,to suspend the rules during the SL session to have the body consider his resolution, but suspension was denied after he failed to com mand a two - thirds majority. The resolution urged the ac tivities board , to reconsider its decision and give special atten tion to suggestions made recent ly by DTH Co-Editor Hugh Stevens for the control of Jubi lee. Speaker Pro Tem Jim Little (SP) defended the Jubilee move and criticized Smith for not re garding the "repercussions" which last year's Jubilee had on state opinion of the Univer sity. "To merely ascribe all the factors of the Jubilee decision to Dean Long and the student body president shows a lack of knowledge," Little said. In elections for SL officers, the SP majority in the body was able to boost SP members into nine of the 11 available leader ship positions. Jim Little was elected Speak er Pro Tem, the second-in-command SL position, after defeat ing UP Floor Leader George Ingram. Gary Sandling (SP) was elect ed sergeant - at - arms, former SP floor leader Arthur Hays was elected to the Graham Memor ial Activities Board, Ellen Al len (UP) and Tony Ivins (SP) were elected to the Publications Board, and Don Johnson (SP) and Cathy Cauble (UP) were elected to the Consolidated Uni versity Student Council. Little was re-elected chairman of the Judicial Committee by ac clamation, and Hugh Blackwell (SP) was re-elected chairman of the Finance Committee by acclamation. Jack Tate (SP) was elected chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, and Bill Long (SP) was elected chair man of the Rules Committee. Speaker Britt Gordon an nounced the re-commissioning of the Budget Committee, and appointed a special legislative committee to study the possi bility of establishing Student Government scholarships. Former student body presi dent Bob Spearman thanked the body for its cooperation during his year in office, and acting Student Party Floor Leader Bob Wilson announced his resignation td.

V 100 Gather To Hear Tew Dickson Talk By MIKE YOPP DTII Managing Editor The Jubilee protest rally sputtered, fizzled and blew it self out Thursday night. But rally organizer Frank Tew said other demonstrations will be held against the recent decision to move Jubilee from Graham Memorial lawn to Ken an Stadium. About 100 men gathered un der a lamp post in Lower Quad to hear speeches by Tew and Student Body President Paul Dickson. The men then marched through the Lower and Upper Quads and past Joyner, Alexan der and Winston trying to en list support. Few joined the ranks. After a walk by New East (where Stu dent Legislature was in session) the group disbanded. Responsible Protest Tew said the demonstration, while small, proved that stu dents can hold a responsible protest. Police reported no in cidents. Campus Police Chief Arthur Beaumont said: "I felt that most of the people at the rally proba bly weren't at Jubilee last year. I'm in favor of moving to Kenan Stadium.,. Most peoplcjust don't know about the problems we had last year assaults, like paratroopers beating up stu dents. "There were so many out siders. It's very difficult to con trol them." Commenting on the rally it self, he said, "I was there talk ing to the guys telling them how to do it, but they just didn't seem very enthusiastic about demonstrating for a lost cause." Tew said a time and for another demonstration will be announced soon after classes resume Aprii 20. The rally was called Wednes day, after Graham Memorial Activities Board announced the moving of the annual event. Dickson spoke to the group from a table set up on the Low er Quad lawn. Dickson Speaks Dickson said he was checking on state drinking laws. He said a law student rennrt- ed the law against public dis play of liquor on state-owned property might applv onlv to athletic contests. Therefore, drinking at Jubilee might be al lowed unless prohibited bv a lo cal ordinance. He said a check on local statutes was planned. The demonstrators acauircd a slogan as they marched. "Jubi lee at GM. Jubilee at GM," they chanted. Two Chapel Hill policemen were on hand as the group crossed Raleigh Street from the Lower to the Upper Ouad and held up traffic for the crossing. Dickson followed the group car rying a loudspeaker. He didn't use it. Students jerked up shades and peered out windows at the loud line of marchers. Few ioined in. "Too many exams," said a sandy - haired freshman. "Everybody's thinking about spring vacation now," lamented an enthusiastic marcher. March To SL After abortive recruiting ef forts, the group agreed to march to New East. ! Heads popped out ,cf windows on the top floor where SL was in session as the mass chanted its warcry. Their voices overcame the noise of a high - fi blaring from Old East as they marched to the side of Alumni Building. "Let's go home," one discour aged marcher muttered, h i s voice hoarse from yelling. "Hell, no," screamed a com panion who had fared better. But after a talk by Tew, thev did scatter. Many vowed they would take part in the next rally. 'This only proves one thing," complained a junior from Mich igan. 4There're only 99 people on this campus who drink."
