"Tie South's Largest College Newspaper" Founded Feb. 23. 18S3 CHAPEL HILL, NORTH CAROLINA SATURDAY, MAY 8, 1965 Volume 72, Number 15 1 May Accredit C ate miversiities rn JUL .Demands 6Tea By JOHN GREENBACKER DTH News Editor Supporters of an early pas sage of the campus1 radio bill took a resounding defeat Thursday night in Student Legislature as the body voted to postpone the issue until fall semester. However, a re-vote on the postponement has been called for Tuesday. The controversy on campus radio has raged in SL com mittees for more than a week as members of the student government Campus Radio Committee pressed for early action against . the objections of legislators seeking further investigation of the organiza tion and the $35,000 appropria tion for the station. Research The radio station's organiz ers spent nearly a year and a half researching operation al methods and equipment for the system before submitting the plan to SL. . Key members of the legis lature's Finance and Ways and Means Committees, led by Finance Committee Chair man Hugh Blackwell (SP), are seeking additional time to debate and hold hearings on the radio bills. Legislators for and against early passage forced the is sue Thursday night when . a bill calling for a student ref erendum on campus radio was debated on the SL floor, ' Yes or No . The referendum, which will ask students to vote "yes" or "no" to the question "I favor the establishment of a cam pus radio station" was sched uled by the bill to be during next fall elections. Referendum Passage of the referendum bill in this form would force the legislature to wait until next fall before taking action on the radio bills. The referendum bill was in troduced by Blackwell and . and Frank Longest (SP). University Party Floor Leader George Ingram opened ... the fight for the supporters of early passage by moving that the date for the referen dum be changed from the time of the fall elections to May 18. Ingram said newly appoint ed Elections Board Chairman Alvin Tyndall had confirmed . the fact that the Elections Board could hold the referen dum on May 13. Last Meeting "The legislature will hold its last meeting of the year next week," Ingram said. "We could pass the campus radio legislation then, and President Dickson could sign the bills into law or not depending on the results of the referendum." "Such a procedure would defeat the entire idea behind the referendum," Blackwell replied. Department Chairmen Are Selected Dr. Herbert W. Reichert has been named chairman of the Department of Germanic Lan guages here, effective July 1. He will succeed Dr. John G. Kunstmann, who will return to teaching. In another appointment W. E. Jenner has been named chairman of the Math Depart ment. Jenner who joined the UNC faculty in 1962 holds the B.A. from Queen's University, the M.A. from the University of Toronto and the Ph.D. from the University of Michigan. He will assume his new post on July 1. Reichert has been a pro fessor of German here since 1947. He previously taught at the University of Wisconsin and at Crinnell College. Born in New York City, he holds .degrees from Columbia Uni versity, the University of Tu bingen and the University of Illinois. Belays Campnis "The body has my personal assurance that the Finance Committee will not complete hearings on the financial por tion of this legislation by the next session of legislature," he said. Blackwell said only a dis charge petition signed by 15 legislators could get the bill out of Finance Committee be fore next week. Supporters of early passage are currently circulating such a petition. Blackwell referred to the move for early passage of the bills as "comming close to the most irresponsible action this body has taken. "The Campus Radio Com mittee is so enthusiastic about their legislation that they are trying to force this body not to regard its responsibility to deliberate on all bills. "This is "a most absurd thing to do. They want us to accept this legislation auto matically. "The fact that they have spent a lot of time investigat ing a campus radio station does not mean that this legis lation can't be improved on for its benefit and for the benefit of the student body." Blackwell cited possible changes in Federal Commun ication Commission rules gov erning the proposed campus radio system as a reason for delaying action on the bills. He also opposed having a referendum this month when incoming freshmen will not have a chance to voice their opinions on the issue. "The proponents of early passage of this legislation want to see their dream real ized immediately," he said, "but I don't see why the body should indulge them in this matter." "Rep. Blackwell feels he must do precisely what the Campus Radio Committee has been doing for the past one and a half years,'' Ingram said afterward. "He wants to consider eve ry minute detail over again," Joe Chandler (SP) cited sources in Washington which indicate the . FCC might change its policy and refuse to license 10 Watt FM sta tions similiar to the one pro posed for the campus radio system. "The FCC code will not al low construction of a station until a license has been grant ed," Chandler said. "If we pass this legislation now and the FCC changes its code be fore a license is granted, then the entire radio system would have - to be reconsidered and changed by the legislature." "We will not significantly pass judgment on this legis lation if we don't examine it more at length," he said. "The people in Craige need this radio system more than anyone, being as far out from campus as they are," A. D. Frazier said. "The time between now and May 18 is an ample amount for consideration on this ref erendum," he said. "I see no real need tor hesitation on this bill." Student Party Floor Lead er Don Wilson charged: "Peo pie have gone head over heals over this thing. "The legislature can't meet two weeks before final exam inations," he said. "Not only that, we don't have an Elec tions Board because President Dickson hasn't appointed one." Ingram took the rostrum to tell Wilson: "Alvin Tyndall has assured us that a refer endum can be held May 18. Are you. calling a member of your own party a. liar? Debate on Ingram's motion to change the date of the ref erendum was closed, and the motion was defeated. SL then passed the entire referendum bill, with its clause to hold the referendum during the fall elections in tact, Rep. Teddy O'Toole (UP) sudcessfully moved to have the referendum measure "en tered in the minutes" and considered at the next session of legislature. chins9 Answer Stupak's Statement Chairman of the Campus'- Radio Committee of Student - Government, John Stupak 1 said in a statement to the v: DTH yesterday that he be-' ,Jieves that "certain Student , Party leaders are trying tc " "hold up the campus radio bill n order to take credit from i ;Don Carson for initiating one , I; of the most ambitious pro- - 'grams ever undertaken by - Student Government." "J He accused the student J leaders opposed to campus; radio of "looking out for their Jl own political ambitions, with ' out concern about the stu-; dent body in any way shaped ' or form. s "The Campus Radio Com : s mittee has provided all the; information at our disposal f to these legislators and they ; ,-have refused to accept it,"; MupaKsaid. "inese legislators have re-rf fused to accept the informa- tion, findings and judge-i vsments of the University's De- fartment of Radio, Televi-? sion. and Motion Pictures. U M i "It seems ironic that these legislative leaders feel they g ; have more insight into car-p rier current than the profes- 'sionals of radio and televi-l! sion," he said. m Nixon Will Speak At YRC Conclave Former Vice - President Richard M. Nixon will deliver an address today to delegates at the North Carolina Young Republican College Council in Winston - Salem. Nixon's speech will be de livered after a keynote din ner beginning at 11:30 a.m. The UNC Young Republican Club met last Thursday to select delegates to the con ference. The conference be gan yesterday and will con tinue through tomorrow. A seminar is scheduled for 9 a.m. today on "American Foreign Policy in Asia." Headquarters fof the. con vention is the Robert E. Lee Hotel. Not Sole Although a professor's pub lications and research are tak en into consideration when the question of renewing his contract is discussed, this is not the sole determining fac tor in such an instance. This was the view expressed by Chancellor Paul F. Sharp yesterday in an interview with the DTH concerning the current "publish or perish" is sue on campus. ' "One of the obligations of a University is to add to knowledge, and doing re search is one way in which this obligation is carried out," he said. tlWithout research there is no material for lec tures." He pointed out that "pub lish or perish is an exaggera tion of the perversion of that (relation) which exists be tween research and teaching. However, there is no disposi tion to favor this exaggera tion because of research." Many professors have been promoted simply because they are good teachers, Sharp said. When asked how he felt pro fessors spending a great deal of time on research, leaving them little for conferences with students, affects students, he said "It is unfortunate that Sharp Radio; Legislators Say Teaching Ability Most Important Student Legislature unani mously passed a resolution Thursday night calling on Chancellor Paul Sharp to "ex plain the role of, publishing versus effective instruction in relation to the tenure and pro motion of faculty members at the University of North Caro lina." The resolution, introduced by SL Speaker Pro Tem Jim Little (SP), reads in part, "The Student Legislature be lieves that the ability to teach is at least as important if not more important than publish ing in the hiring and promo tion of faculty members." Little told the body the bill was being introduced in be half of the leaders of the re cently organized Students for Teachers committee, which is protesting the dismissal of De partment of English instruc tor Dr. William Goodykoontz. The only controversy over the bill came when Universi ty Party Floor Leader George Ingram moved to strick an amendment from the bill which; said, the Students , for Teachers organization had ' "the full support of the Stu dent Legislature m its quest to improve the level of in struction at this University." Ingram said that although he had the utmost confidence in the current leaders of the group, "I am fearful of what this organization might do in the future under a different leadership. "1 would urge this body not to committ itself on paper to this organization and its fu ture operations," he said. Little opposed Ingram's move: "Many student Govern ment committees receive money from Student Legisla ture each year, and may be abolished in the future. "If the legislature does not give its official support to this group, the students of the Uni versity may not support it," he said. "They may fear that this might turn out to be an other Student Peace Union." Several legislators support ed Ingram's move in succes sive speeches. Ingram's motion passed overwhelmingly, and the res olution was passed immedi ately afterwards. 'Publishing Factor9 some professors have little time to spend with students. "We must take into consid eration this factor; however, the thing that gives the Uni versity its status is its produc tive stature. That is, the rea son why students want to come here instead of other schools is because of the scholars rep resented here." He pointed out that a fac ulty without scholars is like a high school faculty. "I am uneasy," he continued, "about teacher' being used instead of professor. It implies acad emy status when, in effect, teaching is lust one concern. "A professor must be much more, including a scholar, a person dedicated to his uni versity resDonsibihty and community responsibility, and . an expert in his field, li he does not do all these things, the well will go drv." He emDhasized that "the quality is always more im portant than the quanity of the work." He pointed out that there are six things considered in hiring professors, "all invoiv ing judgment: ability to teach, ability to publish, age, exper ience, personality, and over all competence.

SL Approves Appointment For Baddour Student Legislature ap proved the controversial ap pointment of. former Student Party floor leader Phil Bad dour to the Graham Memori al Activities Board Thursday after heated debate. Baddour's appointment was passed out of the SL Ways and Means Committee with an unfavorable recommenda tion Tuesday. Legislators on the commit tee said Baddour's status as a law student and the avail ability of other qualified per sonnel were not considered thoroughly by Student Body President Paul Dickson before the appointment was . made. Speaker Pro Tem Jim Lit tle (SP), defending Baddour's appointment, said, "Phil Bad dour has had more experi ence in Student Government than anyone in this body. "The President of the Stu dent Body has the power to appoint anyone who he feels is necessary in order to have an effective administration," he said. "The legislature must ap prove this appointment unless Phil Baddour is not in good standing with the University or he is absolutely incompe tent to administer this posi tion."

W. A. Dees of Goldsboro, chairman of the North Caro lina Board of Higher Education, said the ban places UNC "in violation of two of the standards" of the association. Decs said that a representative of the association's Commission on Colleges had visited the Board of Higher Education "to let us know how concerned the Commission on Colleges is about the adverse effect this speaker ban bill is having on the national reputation of our state-supported schools." "There is no threat made to North Carolina by the Com mission on Colleges," Dees added. "But any institution that violates the standards of accreditation endangers its accred ited status." The Tar Heel yesterday con tacted Gordon Sweet of At lanta Ga., executive secretary of the Southern Association's Commission on Colleges, who said "of course the commis sion is aware of the speaker ban law, but we have issued no statements on it and we are planning no official ac tion." There were reports that the association had contacted Gov. Dan Moore but, Sweet said, "Gov. Moore was not talked to by us, not even in formally. "I don't know what is going on," he added. "There is some effort being made to push something (concerning the speaker ban law), but not by us." Dees said the standards of the association which the speaker ban law violates "in volve the right of the insti tution and its board of trus tees to control the internal af fairs of the institution and secondly the right of the fac ulty and students to pursue the truth without interfer ence." Gov. Dan Moore's press sec retary, Tom Walker, said yes terday "I don't know if the Governor has been informed of the situation." He added that Moore would issue a statement as soon as possible. Dees said that the Board of Higher Education has "communicated this situation to Gov. Dan Moore. We are prepared to take any action directed or suggested by Gov. Moore." Dr. William A. Archie, state director of higher education, said he had been informed that the Southern Association of Schools and Colleges has been studying the speaker ban law. "They have been aware of it and have been studying it," he said. Dr. Archie added that although the Southern Asso ciation has had the speaker ban under consideration, "as far as I know they have made no report to anyone."

(By invitation only.) No Decision Yet In Klan Murder Trial Hayneville, Ala., (AP) A Jury of 12 white men report ed yesterday it was hopeless ly deadlocked in the murder trial of Collie Leroy Wilkins Jr., 21 - year - old Ku Klux Klansman charged with the slaying of a civil rights dem onstrator. But Trial Judge T. Werth Thagard told the weary, so ber - faced rural jurors to try again. He sent them back for further deliberation. The jury had started its ef forts at 3:40 p.m. Thursday in the trial growing out o the March 25 night - rider kill ing of Mrs. Viola Gregg Liuz zo, 39, of Detroit. At 1:14 p.m. yesterday, fore man Clifford McMurphy, a farmer, told the judge: "Your Honor, we have dis cussed this case from every angle and from every way that seemed possible. "We've been deadlocked, we've given a little, but we're still locked just as tight as we were at the beginning." The white-haired jurist re plied: "If there's any way in the world for you to get a ver dict, I think you ought to try to got it ... I do think you should stay here somewhat longer." The shirt - sleeved jury then resumed its discussions in the room just off the second-floor courtroom. At the lunch re cess, McMurphy had told the judge that the panel had not reached agreement. Mrs. Liuzzo, mother of five children, left her Detroit home to join the civil rights march from Selma to Montgomery. She was shot to death as she drove along U. S. 80 at night a few hours after the demon stration ended.
