MAY 6, 1965 Volume 72, Number 152 I i i 1 Carrier Exactly An By ANDY MYERS DTH Staff Writer It's two days before your big Poli - Sci midterm and you haven't even started to study. What do you do? Hang your head in despair? Cut the quiz? Shuffle on down to the Tempo Room? Not at all. Just flick on the radio -.and get the lowdown on what the prof is going to ask. This may seem like a fan tastic dream of the future, but it may be a dream-come-true next semester, with the advent of campus radio. ' , Campus radio could, if it . passes the student legislature, provide students with' every thing from the latest news and the .oldest rock 'n' roll, to class cancellation announce ments and quiz prompting services. John Stupak, head of the campus radio committee in the student legislature, is one of the main forces behind the drive for a carrier current system for the UNC campus. Stupak is ready "anytime" to describe how "the system would be set up. "From studios in the base ment of Smith Hall we would send a signal, by wire or tele phone lines, over to an FM transmitter in Swain Hall. The 10 watt FM signal would then be broadcast over a five-mile radius from the transmitter, through the air. "Thus, anyone with an FM radio living within five miles from Swain Hall could receive the signal," he said. Stupak said it is at this point that the "carrier "current" set - up would come in. "This FM signal would be picked up by special FM re ceivers around campus, as well as by.- conventional FM receivers. These special re ceivers would then change the t FM signal into AM so that it ' could be fed into the carrier current transmitters in the dorms. "The carrier current radio signal would be fed into the existing power lines, which SMART NURSES The annual scholarship tro phy given by the Carolina Women's Council to the dor mitory with the . highest aca demic average was awarded to Nurses Dorm yesterday afternoon at the council's meeting in Roland Parker Lounge. - President of the residence hall, Pat St. John, received the trophv for her dormitory's average of 2.635.

This signal would be AM, and any con ventional radio, including transistor radios, could pick up the signal." , Stupak said that the carrier current system was possible . to transmit via the existing power lines because the pow er is so low and the frequen cy is high enough so that the radio signal would not be dis turbed by the current already in the power lines. - The range of the carrier current signal would be only 50 feet from the dormitory the signal is being fed into. Stu pak explained that if the sig nal were any stronger they would have to apply to the Federal Communications Commission to put the system into effect. , "The result," Stupak said, "is that both FM - receivers and AM receivers in the dorms will be able to listen to the campus radio." He said the signal would be "somewhere at the lower end" of the radio dial, under 600 kilocycles. Programming for the cam pus radio will be done by UNC students. Stupak said they would be of the "highest professional nature we can find on this campus." There would be regular news and weather broadcasts of both national and local in terest, and there would be "intense" local sports cover age, Stupak said. "We will concentrate on in tramurals, freshman- sports and sports wrap - ups as well (Continued on Page 3) C ame Fa, t Radio- " XX XS.1CB ' , IE f - McClamroch Easy Victor In Town Race Sandy McClamroch, owner and operator of Radio Station WCHL, was elected to his third term as Chapel Hill mayor Tuesday by a com fortable 1,179 - vote margin. An unofficial count of all precincts gave McClamroch 1.656 votes. His opponent. Dr. Clifton - Crandell, a faculty member in the School of Den tistry, received 477 votes. In the race for Aldermen, Mary Prothro, Bob Varley and Gordon Kage led a field of six candidates. Mrs. Prothro, wife of UNC political science professor James W. Prothro, topped all candidates with 1,258 votes. Varley, a local clothier, was second with 1,242.

Tom Bolch, newly - elected president of the UNC YDC, said he expects at least 20 members of the local club to drive to Raleigh for the event. Rep. Charles Weltner of Georgia, one of the few South ern politicians to " stand up against the Ku Klux Klan and the only Southern congress man to vote for the 1964 Civil Rights Act, will be the fea tured speaker. Walter Turner of Methodist College at Fayetteville chair man of the College Federa tion of Young Democratic Clubs, said he felt that Welt ner best typifies the theme of the rally "The New South." Some big names in state politics will be involved in a panel 'discussion on ""North Carolina and the New South: An Appraisal of its Future." Panel members will include Ed Rankin, director of Gov. Dan Moore's Department of Administration; Robert Mor gan, former campaign mana ger for Dr. I. Beverly Lake and current president pro-tem of the State Senate; Voit Gil more, first director of the U.S. Travel Service under Presi dent John Kennedy; and Tom Lambeth, former administra tive assistant to Governor Ter ry Sanford. A Raleigh preacher who is outspoken on issues of the time will be the keynote speaker for the first general session on Friday night.' He is Rev. W. W. Finlator, pas tor of Pullen Memorial Bap tist Church in Raleigh. Speaker One' of the nation's top ra-. dio astronomers said Tuesday night that he believes intelli gent life is scattered through out the universe, but the way to discover it won't be send ing spacecraft on exploring missions. Cornell University Profes-' sor Frank Drake, delivering the McNair Lecture, said the feasible way to communicate with these beings is through transmitting radio light waves. - Drake said exploration of the stars by spacecraft is an improbable venture, not only from a technological stand point; but from an economic one. He said the force re quired to send i;000 pounds of instruments to the velocity of light, would be equivalent to that necessary to launch 1,000 battleships into space. The cost of development would necessarily be great. However, he asserted, it only "costs a few cents to send a 60-word telegram, (by radio light waves) to the nearest star." s X Dr. Kildare Greets The Crowd At Chapel Hill- By MARY E. STROTHER DTH Staff Writer The newly formed Students for Teachers mapped out a plan yesterday to investigate whether the publish or perish system is in operation here. Pete Wales, one of the group's organizers, told a meeting of about 175 students in Howell Hall that a delega tion will meet with Chancel lor Paul Sharp at 11 a.m. Friday to talk; over the pub lish or perish situation. Wales said committees have been , appointed to investigate reasons surrounding the fail ure of the Department of Eng lish to rehire Dr. William Goo- Slate System Is Approved By SL Judicial Committee By JOHN GREENE ACKER DTH News Editor ! " A bill which provides for the election of the president and the vice-president of the student body on the same ticket was passed favorably tb Student Legislature by the SL Judicial Committee yester day. Another bill which would make the office of student body secretary an appointive one was also passed out fa vorably by the committee and will be considered by SL to night at 7:30 p.m. on the Says L ife Drake, who' originated Proj ect Ozma, the first attempt to communicate with intelli gent beings outside of our so lar system, said that both Mars and Jupiter are capa ble of fostering life. , He said discoveries "of the past few months" indicate that bands . of . warm temperature exist around Jupiter, disprov ing the old theory that the planet was too cold to give birth to life. He said . that "there is no civilization as good or better than ours, and probably none at all" in our solar system. Drake said if the chemical evolution on other worlds is the same as that on earth, that the beings might look much like man. However, if it is different, there may be "organisms to stagger the im agination." i Drake said no contact has been made with beings on D other worlds, and rejected the claim of Russian scientists Ml isM Of Perisli dykoontz, and to see if any teachers have been dismissed because of a failure to pub lish in scholarly journals. Wales also announced an open air rally to be held Mon day. He said a time and place would be announced later. The formation of Students for Teachers and yesterday's meeting were sparked by stu dent disapproval of the De partment of English's deci sion not to rehire; Goody koontz. - : Students for Teachers lists three goals: (1) to find out why Goodykoontz was not re hired (2) to get a statement from the administration on the fourth floor of New East. The bill to make the secre tary an appointed official orig inally provided for appoint ment of the student body treasurer, but committee members voted to strike all provisions regarding the treas urer from the measure. Elaine Carlson (SP), auth or of the bill and a member of the committee, said she fa vored removal of those pro visions, as many of her con stituents wanted to continue electing the treasurer. Former Student Party floor leader Arthur Hays testified In Space1 who said they received radio signals from a distant source, known as CTA-102. Tass, the Soviet1 news agen cy, reported three weeks ago that signals were heard from this source and indicated the presence of a superciviliza tion. ; Drake said the Russian's findings were not consistant with those of other, nations' observatories, and even if sig nals were received they could have been caused by natural disturbances. Drake said the source of the disturbances is so far away that the energy required to transmit such sig nals would be equal to the energy contained in 100 bil lions suns He rejected the explanation of unidentified flying objects as spacecraft from another world. Such visitors, he as serted, would have left evi dence of their visits. Drake said that so far no such "artifacts" have been found. r 4 i As Fans Of YW(Q)Od ILo publish or perish policy (3) to find a way in which students may have a voice in whether a teacher is' to be rehired or released. Chuck Wrye, a law student and another organizer of Stu dents for Teachers, said he talked to Department of Eng lish Chairman George Harper and was given three reasons for Goodykoontz not being re hired: (1) Goodykoontz is not a potential publisher (2) his age, 50, (3) he is a contro versial teacher. Student Body President Paul Dickson told the group he had talked to Sharp about Goody koontz' dismissal. Dickson in behalf of the single ticket election bill for president and vice president and the appoint ment of the secretary and treasurer. Hays said such a method of ' selection for the "Big Four" j f f f 1 rrc 1 rr-l 1 1 -I "t tnrt linn" xxit-o w uuiu ou wanning student Government and al leviate friction between offi cers of different political par- ties. "It is our duty to provide the most efficient Student Gov ernment possible," Hays said. He opposed the move against making the treasurer's position appointive, as "the treasurer- is not involved in making policy decisions." Hays cited the . example of a student body treasurer who was elected to office and then exercised no responsibility in carrying out his job. He said the student body president would replace an appointed treasurer who failed to do his job. SL will also consider a bill which provides for the organ ization and . governing bodies of the campus carrier current radio station. Legislative leaders expect a heated floor battle on the radio bill, with opposition forces be ing led by Finance Commit tee Chairman Hugh Blackwell (SP). Other important measures to be considered by the body include a bill to remove the YMCA contribution pledge card from the official Univer sity matriculation card, a res olution urging the extension of student infirmary office hours, and a bill to provide for the appointment of two new members for the Men's Council to represent Morrison Residence Hall. n (Chape Photos by Jock Lauterer All Ages Look On With Mixed Emotion. Amis said Sharp told him that Goo dykoontz "should be further along" the academic process at his age. Dickson also said he was told "a professor should be able to get along with his colleagues." "I think there might be something deeper . . . than publish or perish in the re lease of Dr. Goodykoontz," Dickson said. However, Dick son said, he would give his "full support to this cause." Goodykoontz spoke later, and said that he had disagree ments with only one person 0 in the department: "That was Dr. Harper." To the laughter of the audi I ence, Goodykoontz said he might carry a sign "up and down the sidewalk" lettered "George, I Don't Love You, But I Love Everybody Else In The English Department." Goodykoontz attacked the publish or, perish theory, and said "a teacher's publications should be directed toward the students." He showed the audience several folders of mcmco graphed papers he had pre pared as study aids for stu dents in several of his cours es, both here and at David son where, he previously taught. He said this is the I should do. Goodykoontz admitted he was a member of the Young Communist League 23 years ago, but said he had since been cleared by Army Securi ty. TTAT"1 C IF I Injured In A 20 - year - old UNC stu dent was wounded last Wed nesday while riding in a car in the embattled Domriicari Republic, when a revolution ary sniper mistakenly took him for an American. David A. Oldfield, a former resident of the Dominican Re public, returned to Chapel Hill this week from the country where he had lived since he was a boy. Dean of Men William Long said Oldfield left the Univer sity March 19 to attend his father's funeral and to settle i the family estate. Tuesday he was treated for his minor wound and released ,from Watts hospital in Dur- ham. A bullet grazed tne siae of his head and the wound went untreated until he ar rived in the United States. Oldfield and his mother left the Dominican Republic by boat along with several hun dred other refugees. The student and his moth er are now living in Carrboro, Neither -were immediately available for comment. T Ml '4.
