NAACP
Campus
By FRED THOMAS
DTH Staff Writer
UNC - NAACP has been de
nied use of any campus build
ing for a meeting planned
Monday night, because the
featured speaker falls under
the jurisdiction of the North
Carolina speaker ban law.
Charles Miller, president of
UNC - NAACP, told the DTH
yesterday that the group has
been refused permission to
schedule a speech on cam
pus by Charles Braden, infor
mation director of the South
ern Conference Education
Fund.
Braden has been identified
by the FBI as a communist.
Miller said that an initial
attempt to schedule Gerrard
Hall for the meeting had been
successful.
Yesterday, he said, he was
called by Dean of Student Af
fairs C. O. Cathey and asked
to bring press material con
cerning Braden to the dean's
office.
One of the items, a story on
the front page of The Knox
ville (Tenn.) Journal of April

"Carl Braden, identified as
a communist by an under
cover FBI agent in two hear
ings, spoke March 27 at the

Speaking Sunday night as
part of the Carolina Forum,
Senator Strom Thurmond (R
S.C.) blasted President John
son's voting rights bill.
Thurmond, who left the
Democratic Party last year,
called the legislation "the
most abysmal and chasmic
departure from and contra
diction of the Constitution
which has confronted Congress
. . . in a century, if not in
all time."
' "The 15th Amendment does
not confer the right to vote on
anyone," he said, "nor does it
vest power in the Congress to
confer the right to vote on
anyone."
Thurmond said the bill,
which is based largely on sta
tistics, "reflects no considera
tion of the number of people
who have applied to register
or vote "
Moreover, he said, the vot
ing legislation does not ade
quately reckon with the "one-political-party
system" which
"until recently . . . dominat
ed the Southern states."
Many voters, he said, have
not participated in the general
elections in the South "be
cause nomination in the Dem
ocratic primary was cata--
mount to election."
Speaker Denied
Foruin; Ban Cited
cessor organization to anoth
er group which was termed a
"communist front" by the
House Un - American Activi
ties Committee.
A United States District
Court jury in Atlanta convict
ed Braden in 1959 on charges
of contempt of Congress for
refusing to answer questions
of the House Committee on
Un - American Activities in
Atlanta, investigating commu
nism in the South.
The conviction was upheld
by the United States Supreme
Court in February of 1961.
Cathey told the Tar Heel
yesterday that he had asked
to examine the papers con
cerning Braden.
He cited two points which
indicated the speaker ban law
would prevent Braden's ap
pearance here: the account
from The Knoxville Journal
and a letter sent from Brad
en to Miller.
"I asked him to take it up
with his group and consider
the invitation they have ex
tended him.
"It appears to me that he
.does fall under the jurisdic
tion of the speaker ban,"
Cathey said.
The letter to which he re
ferred was sent from Braden
to Miller in making arrange
ments for the address here.
Braden wrote Miller that he
did not intend to publicize
his coming.
"... I am writing to our

junk. , . , .

fighter - bombers took to the
air at noon with an escort of
32 fighters. In wbat was called
a highly successful operation,
they dropped one span of the
Ha Tinh bridge on Route 1,
150 miles south of Hanoi; de
molished one span of another
bridge nearby and then de
stroyed the Tho Ngoa bridge
south of Ha Tinh.
Sixteen F105 Thunderchiefs,
flying an armed reconnais
sance mission that covered
six highways, destroyed three
small bridges, three railroad
boxcars and one truck.
The Vietnamese Air Force
sent its propeller-driven Sky
raider fighter - bombers to
pound other bridges.
Four Navy planes pumped
bullpup missiles and cannon
fire into a railroad bridge and
a string of boxcars 90 miles
south of Hanoi late in the
day. The bridge approaches
were damaged.
Radio Hanoi declared North
Vietnamese gunners shot down
five of the U. S. planes that
took part in raids Sunday.
American authorities had an
nounced the loss of one plane
that day. This was a Navy
F8 Crusader jet, which
crashed in strafing a truck.
The pilot was killed.

general elections which pro
vides the basis of (the bill's)
arbitrary statistical formula."
Thurmond said the bill ap
plies mainly to "selected
states."
The bill's "most constitu
tionally incompatible provi
sion," he said, prohibits the
enforcement of acts of state
legislatures changing voting
procedures from those in ef
fect on Nov. 1, 1964 without
federal approval.
Thurmond called the bill "a
consequence of what has gen
really been described as
'mass demonstrations.' "
These demonstrations, Thur
mond said, are calculated to
produce violence against the
demonstrators to gain public
sympathy.
"Non-violent provocative op
erations," he said, "which
have failed to elicit some type
of resistance merely evidence
poor planning by the leaders
or poor execution by the,
trained participants.
"The more brutal and ex
cessive the resisting force
which can be provoked, the
more successful becomes the
particular civil disobedience
operation."
Thurmond said the protest
field organizer in Raleigh,
John Salter, to tell him that
I'm coming. I'll caution him
not to publicize it, so any
publicity will be up to you.
"I don't appear to come un
der the North Carolina law
but that does not stop any
one from calling me a com
munist and trying to bar me
on that ground."
According to Miller, the lo
cal chapter of NAACP will de
cide at its regular meeting to
night whether they want to
schedule the meeting off cam
pus or try to gain the privi
lege of using a campus build
ing by showing that the ban
does not cover Braden.
hast Chance
For Campus
Radio Today
Student Legislature will
have its last chance to pass
judgment on campus radio
this academic year when it
meets in special session to
night at 7:30 on the fourth
floor of New East to debate
the radio legislation.
Tonight will be the first
time the radio legislation is
debated on the floor of SL,
as it has been held in the
Rules and Finance Commit
tees of the legislature for over
two weeks.
Controversy on the radio
issue which erupted on the
floor of legislature last week
was caused by a referendum
bill debated in the last ses
sion. The referendum bill would
have the student body vote
"yes" or "no" on whether
they would want a campus
radio system. It will also be
considered in tonight's ses
sion, but debate on the refer
endum is likely to be cur
tailed in favor of the radio
legislation itself.
The Rules Committee is ex
pected to pass the radio bills
out in time for the 7:30' p.m.
session, but a possible last ef
fort to postpone consideration
of the measure may occur in
the Finance Committee.
Finance Committee chair
man Hugh Blackwell (SP) has
led the fight for postponement
of consideration on the radio
issue until next fall.
University Party Floor
Leader George Ingram said
yesterday he has more than
the necessary 25 names on a
petition to get the financial
portion of the radio legisla
tion discharged from the, Fi
nance Committee, but he said
he would use the petition
"only as a last resort."
Former student body vice
president, Don Carson (UP),
a key figure in the research
ing and writing of the radio
legislation, and Student Body
President Paul Dickson (SP)
will address the Legislature
in behalf of the radio proposals.

McCrary, Stupak, Carson
Attacked By SP Chairman
By JOHN GREENE ACKER
DTH i,ews Editor
Student Party , Chairman
Frank Hodges blasted DTH
Editor Ernie McCrary, Cam
pus ' Radio Committee Chair-
man John Stupak, and for
mer Student Body Vice-President
Don Carson in a state
ment read at an SP meeting
Sunday night.
McCrary, Stupak and Car
son have attacked certain Stu
dent Party leaders for their
failure to support the passage
this semester of legislation es
tablishing a campus carrier
current radio station.
The campus radio legisla
tion, which was written by
Carson, Stupak and members
of the radio committee after
more than a year's research,
has been held in SL commit
tees for nearly two weeks.
SL Finance Committee
Chairman Hugh Blackwell
(SP) and other Student Party
legislative leaders have sought
more time to hold hearings
on the radio's $35,000 appro
priation and the proposed or
ganization of the radio station
staff.
The campus radio station
would provide non - commer
cial student oriented AM pro
gramming to campus resi
dence halls, and would broad
cast an FM signal within a
five - mile radius of Chapel
Hill.
"By careful statements, in
dividuals have impressed up
ors select the laws to be dis
obeyed "at the discretion,
usually, of the directors of the
civil disobedience operation.
"But," he said, "occasion
ally the participants expand
the scope of the laws chosen
by the leaders to be dis
obeyed." Thurmond described the civ
il disobedience of the integra
tionists as "an insurrection."
According to Thurmond, so
ciety often makes concessions
to the demonstrators because
of "the innate desire for do
mestic tranquility."
Thurmond said the Selma
demonstrations were unneces
sary because "the remedy to
voting denials was provided
through the orderly prescribed
process of law."
Departing from his text,
Thurmond said: "I am in fa
vor of equal rights, but I do
not think favoritism should be
given any one group."
The ''activists," he said,
want violence "so that they
can raise money to prevent
these terrible things from hap
pening in the South."
A single incident, Thurmond
said, "might mean up to one
million dollars in contribu
tions" for the civil rights
movement.
He said the demonstrations
.Ralliers
. r .
on our legislators the idea
that campus radio is 'in' and
is not to be tampered with,"
Hodges said.
"I would remind the editor
of the DTH , and members of
the Campus Radio Commit
tee," he said, "that the de
cision on whether or not we
will have a campus radio is
left to the legislature or the
student body as the legisla
ture may see fit."
Attacking McCrary's "omn
iscient attitude" in recent ed
itorials, Hodges said, "I would
suggest that Mr. McCrary not
only take a beginning course
in the functions of Student
Government, but also do a lit
tle research into the dedica
tion and effectiveness Which
Student Government and the
Student Party have shown for
the student body on this cam
pus." Hodges attacked Stupak for
remarks Stupak made in a
statement to the DTH last
Friday.
Stupak's statement read in
part, "Certain Student Party
leaders are trying to hold up
the campus radio bill in order
to take credit from Don Car
son . for initiating one of the
most ambitious programs ever
undertaken by Student Gov
ernment." Claiming that campus radio
was originally suggested by
SP members, Hodges said,
"If the radio system is cre
ated this year, it would be
also take place "to get Con
gress to remove power from
the states and give it to Wash
ington. "A lot of people in the dem
onstrations," he said, "are
good citizens. But they are at
times directed by exceedingly
dangerous people."
Commenting on the Speaker
Ban, the Senator said: "I don't
think it's wise for communists
to speak on campus. Gus Hall,
for instance, is head of the
Communist Party, USA, and
that's part of an international
conspiracy.
"I am not in favor of let
ting members of this conspir
acy speak on campus," he
said. "Allowing them to
speak would lend recognition
to their ideology."
Thurmond supports the Ad
ministration's actions in Viet
Nam and the Dominican Re
public. "I hope there'll be no stale
mate as there was in Korea,"
the Senator said. "The United
States must win."
Thurmond predicted that a
U. S. defeat in Viet Nam
might mean the loss of all of
Southeast Asia. "The only
language the communists
know," he said, "is power."
About 250 persons attended
Tburmond's talk.
Demand 6Clear Cut
si
very much a part of the Dick
son administration in any
one's eyes."
Hodges called on Stupak to
"prove his statements of 'no
: concern .about.; the student
body in any way, shape or
form' " with regard to the
Student Party.
"The Student Party has nev
er had but one interest and
that is the student body,"
Hodges said.
Accusing radio supporters,
particularly Carson, of issu
ing "untruths and inconsisten
cies" during the radio inves
tigation, Hodges said, "Let
the student body, the Campus
Radio Committee, and the
DTH know and understand
that the Student Party will
not falter in its determination
to investigate thoroughly all
legislation."
The SP also heard a speech
by Students for Teachers head
Pete Wales about the "pul
lish or "perish" issue on cam
pus, and questions were lta-er
answered by Wales and Eng
lish instructor Dr. William
Goodykoontz.
- Wales attacked "distortions
and misconceptions" on the
issue which have been circu
lating on campus recently,
and dismissed a recent DTH
editorial on the subject as
"garbage."
The SP passed a resolution
calling for an explanation of
University policy regarding
"publish or perish."

About 250 persons attended
a Students for Teachers rally
in Y Court yesterday noon
and listened to six speakers
demanding a "clear - cut"
statement from the adminis
tration and the English De
partment as to why Dr. Wril
liam F. Goodykoontz was not
retained as a lecturer.
The University was charged
with attempting to sidestep
the issue of "publish or per
ish" by introducing "X-fac-tors"
into the reasons of why
a "distinguished" teacher had
been discharged.
Chuck Wrye, spokesman for
Students for Teachers (SFT),
introduced the rally, saying
that "this is not a protest for
any one teacher."
Following the six speakers,
Wrye led the crowd in a
march to Chancellor Paul F.
Sharp's office in South Build
ing, and from there to Bing
ham Hall to present lists of
SFT proposals to the Chan
cellor and Dr. George Harper,
head of the English Depart
ment. The proposals were present
ed, although neither Chancel
lor Sharp nor Dr. Harper
were in their offices. Sharp
was out of town and Harper
had "just stepped out."
Student Body President Paul
Dickson, speaking at the ral
ly said, "I believe publishing
has its place, but publishing
should not be placed above
teaching." He said that some
people place the duties of the
teacher in the order of pub
lication, teaching and public
service, where he felt the or
der should be teaching and
then publication and public
service.
"Teaching is of primary im
portance," Dickson said. "I
intend to go to the adminis
tration and say something
about it. I have been very
concerned about this.
"However," he added, "I
intend to go further than that.
I have already contacted sev
eral state legislators. I intend
to see if I can't appear be
fore the Senate and House
Committees on higher educa
tion and also the joint appro
priations committee."
"I hope we have more for
you than promises on this,"
Dickson said. Pete Wales, co-

chairman for Students for

"What is the reason?"

Sharp Says SFT
'Professional
Agitators'
By JOHN II. JENNRICII
DTH Staff Writer
"It is the faculty that de
termines and must determine
the quality of the teaching
and research that goes on on
a university campus. To re
move this power from the fac
ulty is to destroy the Univer
sity itself."
This statement was made
Sunday in a Parent's Day
speech by UNC Chancellor
Paul F. Sharp.
He said that "Appointments,
preferments, rank and sal
ary are conferred on the bas
is of professional competence
determined by professional
peers and colleagues."
Sharp said that after World
War II "there developed a
phenomenon of what I call the
- professional student. He stays
on with us for years as a stu
dent while many of his col
leagues go on to appointments
in the university and move on
up the academic ladder.
"Lacking the recognition
that this movement up the
academic ladder prefers upon
him, he becomes a profession
al agitator, not concerned with
the welfare of the university,
but to a surprising degree
with that of his own group,
the professional students."
Sharp stated that "The 'pub
lish or perish' doctrine about
which we hear so much is a
perversion of truth and it is
an exaggeration of the thor
ough and well - grounded un
derstanding that university
teaching is at a different lev
el from that of the academy
or of the college."
He said that unless the pro
fessor "is an expert in his
iield, based firmly on his re
search, the quality of his
teaching is less than that
which the university must
maintain."
The chancellor quoted a re
port by the Southern Associa
tion of Colleges and Schools
which said, "The University
at Chapel Hill attaches im
portance to excellence in
teaching as well as research,.
