International Relations
Said Hinging On Viet Nam
NEW YORK (AP) U Thant
said yesterday Viet Nam will
have a far - ranging effect in
the world this year. He asked
"every possible effort to facili- .
tate a peaceful solution" to the
conflict.
The United Nations Secretary
General, addressing the Amer
ican Newspaper Publishers As-.
sociation','said:
"I believe that the whole
trend of international relations
in 1965 . . . Will inevitably be
affected by developments in
Viet Nam and by the ability of
all the parties to that agomzmg
situation to find, some basis for
mutual accommodation, if not
for a permanent solution."
Thant reiterated that he de
sired to "help in any way that
may be deemed useful" even
though the United Nations "has
not so far been involved in at
tempts to solve this problem."
He said that, apart from the
risks of escalation and human
itarian considerations involved,
the problem "affects the whole
atmosphere of international re
lations" both within and outside
the United Nations . "and the
balance of innumerable rela
tionships between governments
and peoples
"The importance of the part
which can be played by the
press of the world in creating
an atmosphere in which solu
tions become possible can hard
ly be exaggerated, for in the
long run there is no substitute
for an informed and enlightened
public opinion."

U Thant noted that the United
Nations has been a regular re
cipient "of an immense flow of
criticism and admonition from
all points of the political, ideo
logical and geographical com
pass." r
He upheld the right to criti
cize but spoke against . sensa
tionalizing of the news.
"Ah undue concentration on
violence and conflict inevitably
creates a heated atmosphere
which is unfavorable to reason
and conciliation." he said.
"We sometimes : see this ten
dency at work in the reporting
throughout the world on the ac
tivities of the United Nations.
With almost every crisis, for ex
ample, the failure, or even the
general collapse, of the United
Nations is discussed or fore
seen. "The United Nations is pic
tured as a protagonist in a kind
of global sporting event, which
must either be won or lost with
in a given time. This makes for
dramatic reading, but not for
clear understanding."
He said such a view ignores
the fact that the game con
cerned is the endless drama of
human history.
. "To judge the first 20 years
of the world orgamzation realis
tically," he said, "it is helpful
to speculate oh what would have

Failure To Get NSA Appropriation
M
cans Delegates
By JOHN GREENB ACKER
DTH News Editor
Failure to comply with Stu
dent Government statutes led
Student Legislature to strike a
$240 appropriation from the
1965 - 66 Student Government
budget which provides funds to
send four alternates to the Na
tional Student Association con
ference this summer.
Clark Crampton (UP) moved
successfully to delete the ap
propriation after he proved that
all but one of last year's NSA
alternates and current NSA Co
ordinator Neal Jackson were
negligent in failing to submit
required reports on the NSA
"national conference to the leg
islature. ; Crampton cited Student pov
ernment statutes which requires
alternates to the national NSA
congress to . "submit a report to
the legislature evaluating the
congress."
Jackson said yesterday he
was "too busy at the time" to
submit a report to the legisla
ture. A "Disturbing Situation"
Calling the failure to submit
a report "a ' disturbing situa
tion," Crampton said, "We have
received no publicity or infor
mation on the NSA, and when

Amanda Meiggs, assistant in
structor in the Department of
Dramatic Art from Moyock, will
be seen in the leading role of
Blanche DuBois, the fantasy
ridden southern belle whose
failure to adjust to reality leads
her to insanity when she comes
to New Orleans to live with her
sister, Stella Kowalski, and her
sister's brawling husband. Stan-
ley.
In developing the lengthy and
difficult role of Blanche, Miss
Meiggs will have behind her
cn tiny experience muiuumg uii-
Broadway, network television,
and a period, of study with the
internationally famous drama i
coach, Lee Strasberg.
Bill Smith, a drama major
from Raleigh, will play Stanley
Kowalski, the hard-fisted, re
sentful brother - in - law of
Blanche, whose animal - like
pride serves to destroy the
heroine. .
Smith, who will play the his
torical role of Sir Walter Ra
leigh in "The Lost Colony" this
summer, appeared on the Play
makers' stage earlier this year
as the tough Jenkins in "Billy
Budd." . -
Two Chapel Hill ctudents will
fill the remaining principle
roles. Laurel Dykstra, a drama
major, will be seen as the hero

alternates to the national con
gress, they should get some re
sults. "We're damned well entitled
to find out what happens up
there," he said. "Otherwise,
who the hell knows?
"I don't see why we don't
have the NSA coordinator come
up here and explain to this body
why these reports weren't sub
mitted," he said.
Crampton and other student
leaders led an unsuccessful at
tempt in a referendum last fall
to disaffiliate the University
from NSA, which has been at
tacked across the nation for its
ultra-liberal stands on political
and social issues.
Teddy O'Toole (UP), who
served as one of the six alter
nates last year, rose to tell the
body that he did submit an
eight - page report to the NSA
coordinator about the congress,
but the report ' never reached
legislature.
"If Neal Jackson hasn't sub
mitted it, then I don't know
why," he said.
O'Toole urged defeat of
Crampton's "rather reactionary
motion," claiming that to strike
the NSA appropriation for alter
nates would mean the alternates
would never be sent.
other academic matters.
In a light vote in a campus
wide referendum, the measure
was adopted by a margin of
174 - 46.
--oJust as . with the UNC system
students at the newest branch
of the consolidated university
will be on their honor not to
cheat, lie or steal.
However, in contrast to the
code here, the UNC-C code
reads, ". . . you have the re
sponsibility, . but not the man
datory obligation . . ." to re
port other offenders.
A spokesman for the Col
legian, Charlotte's campus
newspaper, told the DTH yes
terday that the non - manda
tory reporting of violators
clause was possibly a result of
the recent trouble at the Air
Force Academy.
The "honor code will not have
jurisdiction
over contractial
agreements between students
and the college's administration
or in any cases of sexual viola
tions. Charlotte College abandoned
its old honor code in 1957 as
being Unworkable."

working steadily toward a new
code every year since, but un-

He said the alternate delega
tion was needed to lobby for
legislation and participate in
floor debate if necessary.
Jim Smith (UP) asked
O'Toole why the appropriation
couldn't be reinstated at a later
date, after the , budget was
passed and explanation for the
deficiencies offered, by means
of a special appropriation bill.
"I don't see how that would
work," O'Toole said.
Jim Brame (SP) later re
minded the body that last year's
entire NSA appropriation was
left out of the budget by mis
take, but was reinstated by a
special appropriation bill.
University Party Floor Lead
er George Ingram urged defeat
of the Crampton motion and ,
said, I am sure that future
NSA representatives will do
their job." j
Brame told SL he was in fa
vor of Crampton's motion not
merely because of the alter
nates' failure to comply with
the Student Government stat
ute, but mainly because he felt
alternates at the NSA congress
were "unnecessary."
He cited several large schools
in NSA which don't bother to
send alternates at all.
Crampton's motion passed by
a vote of 18 - 15.
Speaker Pro Tem Jim Little
(SP), serving as speaker of the
body in the absence of . Britt
Gordon, ruled all appeals for p
' second vote on the issue out of

Wilson said he had made cer
tain recommendations to speak
er Gordon about the SL com
mittee appointments and Gor
don had refused to listen.
" 'I don't care about prece

as saying.
Wilson called for an appeal
of the speaker's decision.
Hugh Elackwell reminded
Wilson that Gordon's decision
could not be appealed, as Stu

the speaker to make appoint
ments without having to consult
the floor leaders.
Speaker Pro Tem Jim Smith
(SP) ruled Wilson out of order.

Permanent Post
Harrison Merrill was elected
permanent president of the class

second vice - president, Paul
Chused (299 votes); treasurer,
Jim Light (251 votes); secre
taries, Jean Dillin and Kay
Hoyle (82 each); and ' social

The permanent officers, in co
operation with the Alumni Asso

Chused stated that in May a
campaign to encourage mem

tion will be held.
"Senior class members can
join for a special rate of $1 for
the first year entitling them to
