In a statement to the DTII yesterday, the NAACP said,' "We feel it most tragic and deplorable that the University should choose to brand Carl Braden as a communist on the basis of the unsupported testimony of a single woman before two groups whose pur pose was to smear the civil rights movement." Talks With Cathey Charles Miller, president of UNC -NAACP, said he talked with Dean of Student Affairs C. O. Cathey again Tuesday and asked him to reconsider his position, but "I couldn't get anywhere." Cathey held to his position that Braden . could, not speak on campus because he had been identified by an agent of the FBI as a communist. After discussing the matter at theft regular meeting Tues day night, the NAACP ap pointed Miller and James Co field to talk with Chancellor Paul F. Sharp about the mat ter. Chancellor "Interested" The pair met with the Chan cellor yesterday, morning and "he was interested by the facts (we presented) and is now considering them," Miller said. Sharp was not available for comment yesterday afternoon. Miller said that his group feels that the University is in error in two ways. "First, we reject the idea that a man's political beliefs must, be submitted - to judg ment before he is allowed to speak on University property. We feel that any speaker ban law at all violates the spirit and letter of the First Amend ment. "Second, in the specific case of Carl Braden, we feel that this speaker ban law, re gardless of its lack of consti tutionality, is not being cor rectly applied. Three Ways "There are three ways in which an individual may be in conflict with the speaker ban law. As the first two, having taken the Fifth Amend ment or having advocated vio lent overthrow of the consti tutions of the United States of North Carolina, do not ap ply, the University must be banning Braden on the grounds that he is a 'known communist.' The facts do not support this conclusion." Earlier this week, Cathey told the DTH that after hav ing examined several letters and press releases concerning fc-sf. ;;:-; r o& 1 .

PhoU by Jock Lauterer Braden Braden, he felt that two par ticular items indicated that Braden would fall under the jurisdiction of the speaker ban. FBI Investigation . The first item was a front page account from The Knox ville (Tenn.) Journal of April 5 which revealed that Braden had been identified as a com munist by an undercover FBI agent in two hearings. The Journal also stated that Braden was convicted in 1959 on charges- of contempt of Congress for refusing to an swer questions of the House Committee, on Un-American Activities in Atlanta, investi gating communism in the South. . Conviction The conviction was upheld by the United States Supreme Court in February of 1961. The newspaper further re vealed that the Southern Con ference Education Fund, of which organization Braden is information director, is a suc cessor organization to another group which was termed a "communist front" by the HUAC. The second matter of ad ministrative concern was a letter from the proposed speaker to Miller in which Braden advised caution in publicizing his coming and said that some people might call him a communist and try to bar his coming. Slate System Decision Set For Next Fall - Students will vote next fall whether they want candidates from the same party running for the student body presiden cy and vice presidency to run on the same ticket. Bills calling for referendums on this constitutional amend ment and one which makes the office of Student Body secre tary an appointed position passed Student Legislature Tuesday without discussion. The body also passed a res olution allowing Chancellor Paul Sharp to address SL about an undisclosed issue. Student Body President Paul Dickson presented this, year's Jim Tatum award to UNC football and baseball player Ken Willard. The award is made annual ly on the basis of character, athletic ability and scholastic performance.

Students who qualify as needy students under provisions of this Act may apply . at the Student Aid Office, 2 Hanes Hall, for consideration as Work Study participants during the summer months. Jobs in various University departments will be provided for these students, and the rate of pay will be such "that, after living expenses have been deducted, a reasonable amount of money can be saved to apply toward expenses for the 1965 - 66 academic year. Applications will not be ac cepted after May 31.

Committee Appointments Postponed Student Body President Paul Dickson announced yester day that committee appointments to Student Government ex ecutive committees have been postponed until school begins in the fall. Dickson said that appointments would not be necessary until that time "because the committees would not have time to begin operating before exams and the Student Legis lature, which met for the last time Tuesday night, would not be able to approve appointments before then." IFC Vote Supports SFT The Interfraternity Council passed by overwhelming vote Monday night a resolution calling for a statement from Ad ministration officials regarding the role of "publish or perish" at the University. The Resolution also called for student representation on departmental committees of the University which determine the hiring and tenure of profssors. The body also considered a plan to have four informal rush parties for the fall semester to be held on Sunday evenings. An alternate plan to the parties was suggested in the form of a modified strict silence which would permit fra ternity men to speak to freshmen on campus during the day. A choice between the two proposals will be made at the next IFC meeting. Sigma Nu To Seek Charter Waiver A spokesman for Psi chapter of Sigma Nu social fraternity Monday told the DTH that their chapter will seek a waiver from the national office in order to comply with a University ruling of this year, requiring that all fraternities either have discriminatory clauses taken out of their charters before Sep tember 1, 1966, or go off campus. The decision to comply with the ruling was confirmed at the annual Psi of Sigma Nu alumni meeting, held at the Sigma Nu house Saturday. An April letter to the fraternity's alumni urging their at tendance at the meeting had stated, "It is the policy of our national organization not to change a chapter's charter; there fore, " is Sigma Nu going to disappear from the campus at UNC?"

Photo by Jock Lauterer ing an informal discussion yesterday morning SFT Will Appeal Committee Until Results 'Favorable' By ANDY MYERS DTII Staff Writer . Pete Wales, co-chairman of Students for Teachers, said yesterday that SFT would ap peal to the faculty . council "until we get a favorable re sult on the formation of a stu dent - faculty committee to implement student opinion in academic affairs." Speaking at a noon rally fol lowing a meeting in Chancel lor Paul Sharp's office. Wales said the administration react ed "favorably" to SFT's de mands of forming a faculty student committee in the near future. Sharp said, "I feel we came to grips with the issues, so far as I understand them. We had a full and frank discus sion . . it was very helpful and very candid. I thorough ly enjoyed the meeting." The meeting, which contin ued from 10:30 a.m. until noon, "went very good," ac cording to Student Body Pres ident Paul Dickson, who also attended. Sharp said it was decided that Dr. William F. Goody koontz and Dr. George Har per, head of the Department of English, should appear be fore the standing Faculty Committee on Hearings, where both men could present their sides of Goodykoontz' recent dismissal by the department. Sharp said he had decided Tuesday night, before the meeting, that members of the Advisory Committee of the Faculty should be present. At tending from that committee Amanda Meiggs Shines In 'Streetcar By C. W. CARTER In what is sure to be called the finest performance of the season, Amanda Meiggs led the Carolina Playmakers in a competent production of Ten nessee Williams' "A Streetcar Named Desire." The play opened Tuesday in Playmakers Theater, and will continue its 8:30 p.m. per formances through Saturday. A Sunday matinee will be at 2:30 p.m. The house lights dimmed to the background strains of blues and jazz, Colin C. Fer guson's imaginative set gave us the French Quarter, and the spirit of New Orleans per meated the theater. The play centers about the characters of Blanche DuBois and her sister, Stella who has left the old Louisiana family to be the wife of Stanley Kowalski. ' With the usual brilliance as sociated with the playwright, the drama quickly paced in a series of scenes depicting the relationships these characters perpetrate upon one another.

Dean James Godfrey, Dean C. O. Cathy and Chuck Wrye, co-chairman for SFT also at tended. Sharp reacted very favor ably at the meeting to the suggestion of forming a joint faculty - student committee "to analyze the whole role of students in academic affairs." Sharp added, "I think it's a fine suggestion." Yesterday's SFT rally, fol lowing the talks in Sharp's office, attracted a crowd of some 100 persons. Three unidentified students, however, who were not affiliat ed with SFT, Wales said, pick eted South Building for a short time. Apparently, they were protesting the fact that there was no official statement made on the reasons why Goo dykoontz (was not rehired. Before the rally SFT had made plans to picket South Building, Bingham Hall and Harper's office in Bingham Hall with signs saying "WHY?" in case the talks were unsuccessful. Dean Godfrey said the meet ings yielded a "fair and frank exchange of ideas." Com menting on the position of the Department of English, in the Goodykoontz case he said: "Departments " don't just hap pen, they are planned. "It's like the manager of a baseball team who finds that he's got only so many posi tions open. He knows that every player ought to be able to hit and field, just as facul A DTH The old DuBois estate has been lost, and Blanche, ap parently exhausted and home less, comes to New Orleans for her first visit in hopes of recovering something of a life for herself. Blanche lives in a world of magic. Feeding on compli ments that she forces from all about her, suffering from re current memories of a dead husband, neurotic, superficial ly genteel, she is a fascinat ing character whose mental collapse appears inevitable, but whose tragic retreat from reality makes such a collapse pathetic. Harold Mitchell, Stanley's poker - play in- pal, provides Blanche an exit from the vul gar primitivism of Stanley's world in which she is other wise hopelessly to remain. With a keen sense of the dramatic, director Thomas M. Patterson has interpreted this play and retained the special flavor of its author.

Some are better hitters and some are better fielders. "But if you're the manager you have to work with a lim ited number of positions. Sup pose you find you have four catchers. Well, you just can't use all of them." Harper said yesterday that he could make no official com ments about yesterday's meet ing, but that he would be "happy to testify" at the pro posed Faculty Committee on Hearings. Wales said that three gen eral demands were made at the meeting by SFT. "First, a statement of the precise reasons why Goodykoontz was not rehired. Second, a state ment to the effect that teach ing alone is the basis for hir ing and promoting teachers. Third, the setting up of a joint faculty - student committee to implement student opinion on hiring and promoting teach- (Continued on Page 3) He Learned Paul Dickson Sr., Rac ford newspaperman and father of the UNC Stu dent Body President, visited a journalism class yesterday.

Former student body vice president Don Carson, author of the radio bills, burned a copy of the legislation before the eyes of startled SL mem bers as the last minutes of the special session ticked away. Tuesday's special session was the last possible time at which SL could have passed any legislation this semester. Leading the fight against passage this semester of the radio bills was Hugh Black well (SP), powerful Chairman of the SL Finance Committee. Blackwell feels more inves tigation and hearings on cam pus radio are necessary before passage is justified. With the aid of Joe Chand ler (SP), Speaker Pro Tern Jim Little (SP) and a small group composed mainly of Student Party legislators, Blackwell delayed passage by proposing and speaking on numerous small amendments to the organizational bill. The bill outlined the duties of the campus radio staff and established a Campus Radio Board of Directors. It was the first of three bills awaiting the legislature's consideration which would have established the carrier current radio system on cam pus. The other two bills would have provided nearly $35,000 for the radio system from funds of the Student Govern ment General Surplus. If passed, the radio legis lation would have provided for immediate construction on the carrier current radio sta tion. (Continued on Page 3) single exception of Bill Marks as the young Collector. With his very presence, the .scene loses a great deal of its im pact. Steve Hubbel, played by Fred Cook, adds humor, but Ray Brittner as Pablo Gon zales adds nothing more than a dialectic inarticulation. The invigorating perform ance of Amanda .Meiggs as Blanche DuBois is the most conspicuous success of the evening. Her control of the character, her beautifully in tegrated gestures, her com mand of facial expressions, and her special gift for dra matically convincing interpre tation culminte ina the mo?t exacting performance of the season. Though the lighting of George A. Gray III is abroupt and harsh in spots, it does not always detract. Patterson and the Playmakers have pre sented "A Streetcar Named Desire" as an arresting and thoroughly captivating eve ning at the theatre.
