Phi Sigma Kappa fraternitv. which was previously active at uwu but dissolved in the 1930's, is in the process of organizing a new colony Here. -The national organization is working with alumni and select ed students on campus and plans to reactivate through col onization next fall. . Potential members will be se- . Iected through a screening pro gram this spring. . Interested undergraduate men may arrange appointments for screening by contacting Robert w. watson Jr., Philip Adams, George Ingle, Tom Cline, or cnaries chapman. National officers, area alum ni, and undergraduate dele gates from other universities will meet with those UNC men who are selected for member ship May 15. The time and place of the meeting will be announced later. Next , fall, the nucleus of the fraternity will petition the ad ministration and proper student organizations for official recog nition as a colony and will ar range housing rental. As a colony the group will function much the same as or ganized social fraternities here. They will have an IFC repre sentative but will not have a I vote on the council. After two years as a colony, an application will be made for! a national charter. If this is granted, the fraternity will pe tition the administration and the IFC for recognition as full fledged Carolina greeks. -Roger Jenne, assistant execu tive director of the National told the DTH that he has talked with Larry McDevitt, assistant dean of men, and Frank Martin, pres ident of the Interf raternity Coun cil, and both expressed opti mism about the project. The small percentage of Car olina men participating in the fraternity program and. the ap parently good fraternity poten tial among non - Greeks here make this an ideal campus for a new colony, Jenne said. PSK was organized March 15 1873, at Amherst, now the Uni . versify of Massachusetts. There are presently 103 chap ters, 80 of which are active, ana five colonies. Three of the five colonies will gain active status in the fall. More than 36,000 undergradu ate men have been initiated into Phi Sigma Kappa. Phi Sigma Kappa at Carolina found itself in financial trou ble during the depression in the early 1930's, and the fraternity was forced to . sell its newiy built house to meet expenses. The chapter became inactive and was disbanded m 1935. SENIORS J. M.

A substantial number of sci entists now believe that intelli gent life of some type exists elsewhere in the universe and that communication with it may be possible. Scientists have scanned stars with radio telescopes in the hope of finding radio signals in dicating a civilization. They have determined that a civiliza tion no more advanced than our own could detect that life ex ists in our solar system from a number of light years away. These and other, aspects of the search for intelligent life other than our own will be discussed by 1965 McNair lecturer Dr. Frank Drake of Cornell Univer sity at 8 p.m. Tuesday in Hill HalL ''if, ".'' s " ; ' " ' ' X 3 " THE FOUR PREPS kicked off Jubilee in fine style last night with a concert from the Graham Memorial stage in Polk Place.

Drake originated Project Oz ma, the first attempt to com municate with intelligent life on planets of stars other than the sun. The project, which was named for the princess of the. imaginary land of Oz, called for preliminary scanning of nearby stars on radio frequencies most likely to be used for communi cation purposes. The study, which was made at the National Radio Astrono my Observatory at Green Bank, West Va., was interrupt ed when the facilities were need ed for other purposes. Drake headed the divisions of telescope operations and scien tific services at the Green Bank facilities from 1958 to 1963. His work is described in the 4 i f" x-f v v ,f--.: i book "We Are Not Alone" by Walter Sullivan, science editor of the New York Times. He is currently conducting re search at the Ionospheric Ob servatory at Areciba, Puerto Rico. The Areciba research sta tion has one of the world's larg est radio telescopes, a 1000-foot fixed bowl in a natural depres sion. The facility was designed by Cornell scientists. Drake is the author of 40 pa pers in leading professional journals and the. book "Intelli gent Life In Space." In his lecture here Tuesday, he intends to describe the means by which life is being searched for in the other planets of the solar system and by which in telligent life is being sought by radio telescopes elsewhere in the Milky Way Galaxy.

Marion Poole, spokesman for the state Highway Commission, said after the combination board meeting and public hearing that the plan is "very similar to the 1962 plan which we rejected." The highway commission has the final decision since the proj ect will be financed from their budget. However, a bill was intro duced Thursday in the General Assembly which would give to municipalities the authority to design their own road plans in sections. As it stands now, the highway commisson can reject the entire thoroughfare plan on the basis of Chapel Hill's rejec tion of one small part of it. The radial road controversy has been raging for over 10 years between Chapel Hill citi zens and planning boards of Chapel Hill and the State High way Commission. The radial is designed to connect the town with an outer, loop which swings several miles to the south of town. Actually, the radial is a min or part of the overall scheme, but it has received the most opposition because it would cut an 80-foot swath through several residential areas. Already adopted is a short ex tension of South Boundary Street through Battle Park where the Forest Theater s located. The new radial would continue from the intersection of Country Club and Gimghoul Roads across Ra leigh Road past the Institute of Government. It would then go on a straight line to U. S. 15-501 by-pass, where it would head such a search, such as a better understanding of the evolution of living things and the signifi cance of contact with another intelligent civilization. "I am looking forward to the opportunity to include a philo sophical discussion in a subject which is usually discussed pure ly scientifically." As recently as two weeks ago Tass, the Soviet news agency, claimed that a Russian astron omer had tuned in to a distant radio source known as CTA-102 and heard signals which proba bly came from a super civiliza tion. After widespread skepti cism was expressed about this claim, the statement was re tracted and Tass said that sci entists did not know what was causing the radio pattern. The field of radio astronomy is a fairly recent one compared to other areas of scientific stu dy. Radiations from the galaxy College Newspaper south and then east across Mor gan Creek and out to the pro posed Outer Loop Most of the land between Ra leigh Road and U. S. 15-501 be longs to the University, but private individuals own almost all of the other land affected by the radial. Arthur Branch, UNC's busi ness manager and member of the Building and Grounds Com mittee, said the university was asked by the highway commis sion to select one of six pro posed radial roads. He said they chose Radial Five, the one in question, because it was the safest for campus pedestrian traffic and did the least dam age to existing and planned uni versity buildings. There as no popular support for the proposed radial during the public hearing. W. S. Stew art, lawyer and lecturer in bus iness law at UNC; spoke strongly against the measure He said the State Highway Com mission was "coercing" the town to accept a plan it does not want He said: "The issue is a test of will between the town of Chapel Hill and its Board of Aldermen and the advanced planning board of the State Highway Commission. This rad ial would split the town in half. The road is unnecessary." He urged that the board wait until the General Assembly acted on the bill John T. Manning, Chapel Hill . attorney, urged the Board of Al derman to reiect the radial des pite the great probability that (Continued on Page 3) at radio wavelengths were first detected in 1932 by K. G. Jan sky of the Bell Telephone Lab oratories while he was investi gating radio noises and static. One of the advantages of radio astronomy is that because of their much greater lengths, as compared with light waves, radio waves pass through clouds in our atmosphere and also through the interstellar dust that conceals all but five per cent of the universe from optical view. The operation of a radio tele scope is similar to that of the more widely known optical tele scope. The antenna serves the function of the optical objective to collect the radiations and to concentrate them on the receiv er. Instead of forming an image, the radio telescope records the strength of the signals coming from a given area of the sky. i - I : :-'--: v:x:::::::::::::-:::::::;:: - - - ' - - - E::W:?:rm::W:i::?::::xi: V; ' !

S. policy in Viet Nam is raked over the coals officially May 15 in Wash ington. Students for Democratic So ciety (SDS) will sponsor a nation-wide closed circuit radio ';teach-in" and UNC will par ticipate via a national telephone hook-up, according to SPU pres ident Chip Sharp. Sharp said that tentative speakers for the "teach-in" are MacGeorge Bundy, LBJ's spe cial assistant on international affairs, who will represent the Vote Tuesday On Campus Radio By JOHN GREENBACKER DTH News Editor Legislation establishing a campus carrier current radio station and network will be de bated and voted on at a spe cial session of Student Legisla ture Tuesday night. Speaker of the Legislature Brit Gordon called for the spe cial session during Thursday's SL meeting. The meeting will consider bills establishing the station and its organization, and an appro priation bill which provides $23,000 for equipment and costs. The campus carrier current radio station, which has been in the research and planning stages for nearly a year, would broadcast a low - power AM radio signal to all campus resi dence . halls '1 and certain off campus areas: " In addition to the AM signal, an FM signal would broadcast the station's programming with in a five mile radius of cam pus. The station programming would feature campus-orientated news, music and sports, without advertising. Funds for the system would be provided by Student Govern ment. Space for the facilities would be provided by the Uni versity. Legislation establishing the station was introduced in Stu dent Legislature last winter by former student body vice presi dent and chairman of the Cam pus Radio Committee Don Car son. Carson withdrew the initial legislation during the spring election campaign after its stat us as an election issue jeopar dized its being passed by SL. This legislation was reintro duced in SL last week by Uni versity Party Floor Leader George Ingram. The only significant change in the organizational bills made prior to the reintroduction was Summer Rooms The Housing Office yester day asked all old students who desire dormitory rooms for summer school to turn in room application cards and rental fees immediately. Rooms are already being filled, the Housing Office said. .'--5r- - T - Yr . - '-'-if;. - rT. ... St - - f; iriiill...73L.

Dr. Frank Drake of Cornell Teach-In9 administration; and Hans Mor ganthau, author and journalist, who will speak against U. S. policies in Viet Nam. The announcement was made Thursday night in Joyner resi dence hall by Dr. Lewis Lipsitz, of the Political Science Depart ment. Lipsitz was speaking for the Y-Dorm Speaker Program. SPU secretary Chuck Schunoir told the Tar Heel yesterday that the radio, "confrontation" be tween "academic critics" of the administration and government officials will be from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. on May 15. SPU president Chip Sharp said the liason between SDS the insertion of a provision to have the chairman of the gov erning Campus Radio Board elected by Student Legislature. The Chairman will be chosen after this year by means of a campus - wide election. "With this alteration the chairman will be responsible to the student body and more rep resentative of their wishes," Campus Radio Committee Chairman John Stupak said. NSA Reinstated A $240 appropriation to pro vide funds to send four alter nates to the national congress of the National Student Associa tion was reinstated in the 1965 66 Student Government budget by SL before the body passed the $207,000 budget. The appropriation was with held at the last meeting of SL after, Clark Crampton - (UP) proved that NSA alternates and officials were negligent in not submitting required reports on their activities to the legisla ture. The body overwhelmingly vot ed to back a motion by Teddy O'Toole (UP) which restored the appropriation under the stip ulation that future NSA alter nates would be required to re pay Student Government for its expenditure if required reports were not submitted to SL. "These alternates are defi nitely needed at the congress, but we must make sure they don't shirk alltheir responsibil ities," O'Toole said. Defending the presence of al ternates in UNC's delegation to the national congress, O'Toole said: 'Taking the alternates away from our delegation is like cutting a man's arms off." O'Toole explained that the congress alternates are active in lobbying efforts for UNC sponsored legislation. Cheerleader Selection A bUl to provide for the selec tion of UNC cheerleaders was passed after modification. A special cheerleader selec tion board was established in ihe bill to insure adequate stu ient body representation in the selection process. New cheerleaders were pre viously selected by the old cheerleading squad, and this procedure had been frequently criticized as a means of main taining a clique. The legislature also passed a bill establishing a special com mittee of SL to investigate pos sibilities for student participa tion in pulling class tickets. - i- ? . vx - r - X' -- . a', xv-x---: i ...

Volume 72, Number 116 Wi Tl Policy and UNC is still in the planning stage, but the tentative sched ule calls for a broadcast over WUNC-FM radio. Possibly, he said, if the radio broadcast is impossible, t h e Washington hook - up will be held in a building on campus. The location would be an nounced at a later date. The public is invited to the event. Schunoir said yesterday the Peace Educational Committee of the YMCA will sponsor the program at UNC. "Local 'teach ins' of this sort have been held at Chicago, Michigan, and Co lumbia Universities," Schunoir said, "and they have worked out quite well." Lipsitz said that plans are to hold a series of semniars after the four - hour "confrontation." The seminars, which will be presided over by faculty mem bers, will be held simultaneous ly around campus. Bill Schwartz, president of the Carolina Forum, has pledged financial support for the radio hook-up, according to SPU pres ident Chip Sharp. The actual cost of the hook up will not be expensive, Sharp said, "somewhere between $60 and $120, but most likely around $80." American Telephone & Tele graph Co., will provide the hook - up, which, in turn, may be broadcast over the state via WUNC-FM radio. 'Titoist' Rule Is Suggested For "Vict Nam The establishment of a com munist government in Vict Nam was discussed Thursday nifiht by Dr. Lewis Lipsitz of the Po litical Science Department, speaking in Joyner for the Y Dorm Speaker Program. Lipsitz suggested the estab lishment, of a "Titoist" govern ment in Viet Nam as a possible alternative to present U. S. pol icies there. "Such a government," he said, "would be communist. But it would not have military af filiations with other communist powers and would conduct its own foreign affairs." Lipsitz criticized our present policy in Viet Nam. He said the American people "have not been told all the facts regard ing Viet Nam. Johnson is very thin - skinned, and resents the possibility of public debate. "Nevertheless," Lipsitz con tinued, "Americans can use this to their advantage; being thin skinned means Johnson re sponds more easily to public opinion. "In fact," he said, the Washington rally and others like it quite likely have prevented further escalation of the war." Lipsitz announced at the talk plans for a "teach-in" in Wash ington which UNC students will participate in via nationwide telephone hook-up. The teach-in, he said, will be sponsored by Students for Democratic So ciety (SDS). Lipsitz said Thursday that Johnson reportedly had once called Diem, the assassinated Vietnamese ruler, "the Church- ( Continued on Page 3 - - ' J 1 ? and other prominent scientists think that in telligent life may exist beyond our solar sys tem.
