Sharp yester- . dav fnr Sfl minntpc tn Hiccucc the increasing student role in previously termed "adminis trative matters." , oThe committee, which was formed as3a result of negotia tions between SFT and Chan cellor Sharp, will help "keep open the lines ol communica tion between students, faculty, the administration and the public," according to Sharp. J Doug Eisele of Statesville, co - chairman of Students for Learning, pledged support for Sharp in the running discus sions with the Students for Teachers. Banquet Honors Professor . Of Languages Fiiday night Dr. Robert White Linker, Professor of Ro mance Philology in UNC's De partment of Romance Lan guages, was honored by the -department's graduate instruc tors with a dinner at the Caro lina Inn. . . Linker is retiring from the University after- thirty - eight years of service and will be come Professor of Medieval French Literature at the Uni versity of Georgia. The dinner for Linker was given by the graduate instruc tors in appreciation for the special aid which he has giv en "so many of them over the years both as a teacher and as a friend." In token of this appreciation he was presented a silver tray. Linker is well known in the academic world for his num erous publications, including many critical editions of Me dieval French and Spanish works, as well as books on medieval music. Among other things, Tie is known as the first publisher of the definitive "Wictnrv of OlH FVpnrh T.itprn- ture." Free Flick "Sweet Bird of Youth," from the play by Tennes see Williams, will star t Paul Newman and Geral dine Page in tonight's free flick in Carroll Hall at 7 and 9:30. It is the story of a young man's return to his southern hometown to take back his oid girlfriend. Geraldine Page turns in a brilliant performance in this com plex story of brutality and tenderness. KING OX THE MOUNTAIN Editor Neil Thomas, atop a stack of Yacks, ponders the problems of distributing the many , many annuals which will start 1:30 p.m. Monday. Photo by Jock Lauterer Eisele and Troy Smith of Fayetteville, the other co chairman of SFL, also sent a letter to Student Body Presi dent Paul Dickson yesterday asking him to include SFL in his student nominations for the new committee. The committee will be a joint faculty - student - admin istration effort to discuss mat ters of teaching, research, publication and service as these affect the faculty and the students. Eisele and Smith demanded , "equal representation" on Dickson's appointments, but added, "We don't even think there ought to be a commit tee, but when ycu go this far then by all means there ought to be representation by both sides." Eisele said, "There are al ready plenty of channels, to my satisfaction, where a teach er has ample means to air his grievances." Smith and Eisele hold that students sitting on the joint committee ; should represent several segments of campus life, not only undergraduates, but also graduate students and those in professional schools such as law, medicine and others. SFL has declared in the pe tition now circulating that they are against the idea of students taking an authoritative part in the selection of faculty and the planning of curriculum. Smith said that SFL "has no plans to hold any public meet ings. That would seem to be against the purpose for which we stand." Gordon Says Broke Radio Speaker Brit Gordon con vened a special session of Stu dent Legislature Thursday and scolded Student Party legisla tors who had allegedly broken a "gentleman's agreement? with him concerning the pass age of key legislation. Gordon singled out Student Party legislators Hugh Black well, Joe Chandler and Speak er Pro Tem Jim Little in the attack. The special session was called by Gordon for the ex press purpose of discussing and passing four or five key appropriation bills, which, ac cording to Gordon, would "keep Student Government in the black this summer if passed." Instead of immediately mov ing into consideration of the appropriations, Gordon turned the chair over to University Party Floor Leader George Ingram and then addressed the body from the rostrum. Here is the text of his ad dress: "This session of legislature has been called to consider several finance bills, two of them being of particular im portance which have been rec- s -' - v -v.fc. " - x s. - J. $ - i -x - - i - -- sx x -.-v v.-N ' -.i. . 'WW)WW' 5 i He added, "We don't have time for that. W7e are busy with our studies." Eisele said Chancellor Sharp appeared "very pleased" with the fact that "there are some responsible students on the campus who feel that the ad ministration should not yield Sharn Names JL To New Chancellor Paul F. Sharp yesterday named five faculty members to meet with stu dent - appointed representa tives "to explore matters" raised by the SFT organiza tion. Sharp said it is necessary to keep open "the lines of communication between stu dents, faculty, the adminis tration and public." Faculty members appoint ed are Dean of Student Af fairs C. O. Cathey, Kenan Professor William Wells of the Department of English, Dr. William F. Little of the Department of Chemistry, Dr. David G. Brown of the School of Business Administration, and Dr. Bernard Boyd of the Department of Religion. Student Body President Paul Dickson will appoint four student representatives, according to the agreement. He said yesterday that he would consider the matter of appointments Monday. Legislators Agreement ' ommended for passage by the administration of Paul Dick son. "These bills were to have been considered at Tuesday's special session. "Before Tuesday night's ses sion Rep. Don Wilson, the SP floor leader, Rep. George In gram, the UP floor leader and I agreed to the following pro cedure for that session: "We agreed that the campus radio referendum bill would not be called up immediately. "We agreed that these nec essary finance bills which could have been routinely passed would be considered first and passed as quickly as possible. "It was further agreed that we would then move into dis cussion of the campus radio legislation, allowing dialogue on all three radio bills before any attempt would be made to cail up the referendum bill. "Doubtless you will remem ber what happened. "So anxious were Reps. Hugh Blackwell, Jim Little and Joe Chandler to kill campus radio, to have a referendum, denying the responsibilities which they have taken on with the consent of those who elect ed them, that they broke the gentleman's agreement which had been previously made in good faith by their floor lead er. "It is indeed unfortunate that the Student Party's self - ap pointed legislative bosses have chosen to so rudely rebuke the good judgment of their floor leader and the leader of their party, the President of the Student body. "Now, having carefully con sulted the by - laws of the leg islature and its traditions as well as several acknowledged experts on Student Government statutes, I have determined that this session of the legis lature, if not illegal, is cer tainly without precedent. "That precedent will not be established tonight. If campus radio can wait so can this. "I would like the entire stu dent body to know that the ir responsibility and selfish, pon tifical attitude of Reps. Black well, Little and Chandler are responsible for this debacle. "This legislature is ad journed." SP Floor Leader Don Wilson said afterwards, "No clear agreement had been made be tween Gordon and me." t He denied Gordon's state ment that Ingram had even entered into the negotiation. Blackwell, Chandler and Little had no comment on Gor don's speech. "I see no necessity in com menting on this," Little said. to every student demand.'.' Students for Learning is now circulating a petition which states that "students are here to learn, not to teach." Eisele said he has several hundred signatures and any interested persons should contact him at the law school. Five Committee A delegation from the new ly formed Students for Learn ing sent a letter to Dickson yesterday demanding "equal representation" on the stu dent members of the commit tee. Dickson said he would "consider the letter" but that he was not planning to make, the appointments this week end. Sharp yesterday declined to comment on his views of the proposals made by Stu dents for Teachers. SFT said students should have an au thoritative role in hiring faculty and planning depart ment curriculum. "Comment by me on that could prejudice the work of the committee," Sharp said. In connection with his meetings with SFT in the past week, Sharp maintained that the University has not acceded to any of the de mands of the students in re gard to faculty personnel and curriculum planning. "Students asked for joint discussion by faculty, mem bers of the administration and representatives of stu dent government," Sharp said. "This was the first time the students proposed any such discussions. We agreed to ex plore these and other mat ters. We are always ready to meet and talk with duly con stituted members of student government. "If the same proposal had been made last week by the students, the same arrange ments would have been made. I do not regard willingness to sit down and talk with stu dents an acceptance of prin ciple relating specifically to the subject matter of their protests as reported in the press. "We are committed in the University to the idea of keeping open the lines of communication between stu dents, faculty, the adminis tration and the public." Sharp also declared that he did not agree to proposals for talks in order to "fore stall picketing" as stated by newspaper reports. "'My door has always been open to the students," he said. "I met with them last Friday (Continued on Page 3) Opinion Analysis! Harris Here Louis Harris, Public Opinion analysist and 1942 graduate of the University, will speak here Monday at 9 p.m. on the fourth floor lounge of Dey Hall. Harris served as public opin ion advisors to both President Johnson and late President John F. Kennedy. He is cur rently conducting polls for Newsweek magazine. His talk will be sponsored by the Carolina Political Un ion, the Carolina Forum, and the YMCA. A Boy In Spencer! A boy has been living in Spencer Dorm for about two months. Tim stopped in at the women's residence hall on the way from Boston to London, where he is going to live for the next three years. , "He's darling," the coeds at Spencer say. "He looks like a Beatle and loves chewing gum." He didn't even know what chewing gum was until he was exposed to Carolina womanhood. "He is crazy about us girls and knows all our names," they say. "He knows his way around the dorm by heart. Certainly the girls enjoy having a man around the house." Tim is the grandson of Mrs. Allen Thurman, Spencer Housemother. He will leave for London next month. He is certainly a privileged character, but after all, he's only two years old. tf hi . t - 'st iL THE BIG SPLASH will be today at the outdoor pool from 3-6 p.m. It's the annual MItC Pool Party in conjunction with ed China Explodes From The Associated Press RED CHINA exploded its second nuclear weapon yester day seven months after it be came the world's fifth atomic power with a similar Hiroshi ma - size detonation. Both tests were made over a waste land in Western China. Peking's announcement con tended, the Chinese nuclear program is defensive and left unanswered all technical ques tions. Some Western experts speculated the nuclear device may have been dropped from a plane. Within hours of the an nouncement by Peking radio, the United States confirmed the blast, said it had an ex plosive force of 20,000 tons of TNT or possibly a little lar ger, and promised to support atomic have - not nations against the "threat of nuclear blackmail." The United States dropped an atomic bomb equi valent to about 20,000 tons of TNT on Hiroshima in the clos ing days of the war against Japan in 1945. The United States during the day disclosed it had exploded an underground atomic device of even greater power. The Atomic Energy Commission said in Washington the U. S. blast in Nevada was of 1 o w intermediate yield in the range of 20,000 to 200,000 tons of TNT. It was the 11th announced weapons - related test this year and the second in three days. The powers China followed into the atomic club are the United States, Russia and Bri tain, had agreed by a 1963 treaty to abolish tests in the atmosphere and under water, and France, which refused to stop testing. Red China has scoffed at the treaty. THE U. N. Security Council called yesterday for a strict cease - fire in the Dominican Republic and gave urgent or ders to Secretary - General U Thant to send a personal rep resentative to that revolt-torn country. The council acted unani mously at an urgent session convened after Thant received a message from Jottin Cury, foreign minister of the rebel regime, saying Santo Domin go was in imminent danger of destruction. pie & Ac A it its j , "Jk '-.' World Neivs Roundup Ambassador Adlai E. Stev enson voted with the other 10 members despite U. S. reser vations at having the United Nations take a role in a situa tion in which the United States contends the Organization of American States has prime re sponsibility. Cury charged that the bomb ing of rebel positions in San tiago Thursday by planes of the rival military - civilian" junta were undertaken with consent of the U. S. forces "or on their orders." He charged the OAS was incapable of re solving the situation and ap pealed to Thant to intervene. The shakey cease - fire in Santo Domingo was disinte grating yesterday and the rebels vowed never to negoti ate with the Dominican junta. But they said they would talk peace "with the true creators of this junta, with the North Americans." Two U. S. soldiers were killed yesterday in a skirmish deep within rebel territory. The rebel regime warned an attack would be opened on the Americans unless they left a power plant they occupied three days ago. The rebels said it violated the cease-fire. A three - man U. S. patrol, apparently lost in the maze of streets, was caught by rebel fire. One was killed outright. The other was wounded and died shortly thereafter. The third American escaped. SOUTHERN senators, charg ing the voting rights bill would give the vote to people who couldn't mark their own ballots, lost yesterday a bid to preserve some of their states' literacy requirements. The outcome was never in doubt. Even Sen. Sam J. Er vin Jr., D-N.C, who proposed the amendment, conceded it wouldn't be approved. "I have nothing on my side but the right," Ervm said with a wave at Democratic leader Mike Mansfield of Montana. He added: "I'm afraid my good friend has got the votes on his." Ervin ws right, and the amendment was turned down on a 53 - 14 roll call vote. It would have let Southern states covered by the bill ap ply without racial discrim ination tests requiring a vot er applicant to prove he could read and write English. SECRETARY of Defense Robert S. McNamara feels development of an anti-missile system to protect the United States from Red China "for a decade or two" is "well worth considering." He estimates the cost at $3 billion to $10 billion, about half of what he says it would cost to deploy an anti-ballistic missile system to pfford "some measure of protection" against a mass Soviet attack. McNamara gave these views when questioned about the de fense budget during a closed i 1 - JF2 I, X1 1 Scott Residence College. The Shadows combo will be on hand to supply pool-side music. Photo by Jock Lauterer House Appropriations Commit tee hearing March 5, prior to Peking's second atomic test. A censored version of his testi mony was made public Friday, A TWO-DAY-OLD lull in air strikes against North Viet Nam stirred up speculation yester day that the Johnson adminis tration may be reenforcing its new bid to the North ,Vietnar , .mese-communist leadership to get into talks on ending the war. Dispatches from Saigon re ported that no bombing attack against North Viet Nam had been announced Thursday or Friday. In Washington a White House spokesman said a lack of bombing attacks was "op eration" evidently meaning that it was the result of a mil itary decision and not a po litical maneuver. PREMIER Alexei N. Kosy gin said yesterday that, "un der the present circumstances, I do not see a direct threat of nuclear war now." His comment to Indian re porters seemed to tone down recent Soviet statements that U. S. action in Viet Nam might bring on a nuclear war. Kosygin had been asked by Indian reporters at a recep tion given by visiting Prime Minister Lai Bahadur Shastri of India to comment on Red China's second nuclear explo sion. Referring to the 1963 Mos cow Treaty banning nuclear explosions above ground, he said: "China did not sign the agreement and if you want any explanation of Chinese policy you must refer to the Chinese government." WEST GERMANY and Israel announced yesterday the es tablishment of full diplomatic relations and Arab govern ments, as forecast, began clos ing German embassies. On one hand it was a day of reconciliation from the bitter ness of World War II; on the other a sustained hostility from the Palestine War of 1943. But retaliation was swift. Iraq started the ball rolling by breaking relations with West Germany Thursday. Fol lowing suit were Jordan, Syr ia, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Leb anon and Yemen. Kuwait, which was about to exchange ambassadors with Bonn when negotiations with Israel be gan, abrogated the agreement. THE FOREIGN ministers of the United States, Britain, France and the Soviet Union gathered in Vienna yesterday to celebrate the 10th anniver sary of the Australian Inde pendence Treaty. However, the festivities long prepared by the Austrian gov ernment have widened beyond a purely ceremonial occasion "4 a i i I Bomlb and now by circumstance have provided the oppor tunity for an impromptu big- four discussion of major world problems. These problems, informed sources said, almost certainly will include Viet Nam and the financial crisis of the United Nations. REP. JOHN V. Lindsay, one -- of the- few - Republicans to emerge in strength from his party's national elections de feat, announced his candidacy Friday against Democratic Mayor Robert F. Wagner. In going against an unprec edented fourth - term bid Nov. 2 "By Wagner in a city that .normally votes 3-1 Democrat ic, Lindsay said: "Cities are for people and for living, and yet under its present tired management, New York City has become a place that is no longer for peo ple or for living. "In these long years of one party rule, we have witnessed the decline and fall of New York City. We have seen its strength diminished, its prom inent place in the world of cities lost, and its people be set with hopelessness and des pair." (Continued on Page 3) Abolishment Of Education Board Unwise RALEIGH (AP) Gov. Dan Moore said Thursday t h e North Carolina State Board of Higher Education should be changed not abolished. "It would be unwise to abol ish the board of higher educa tion as proposed in legislation now before the General As sembly," said Moore in a statement. "However, I understand and share some of the concerns of many legislators who question the effectiveness with which the present board is now car rying out its primary func tions ... "I believe the board's pri mary functions of long - ranc;e planning nd coordination should be redefined and strengthened," Moore contin- roposed legislation to car ry out these improvements is now being prepared at my re nuest. A further stitement will be released before the end of the week," he added. The Governor also touched on legislation to abolish the State Legislative Council and o revamo the Stale Wildlife Resources Commission and the oossibility that the speaker bin law may affect the accredita tion of state - supported col leges. Of the move to abolish the Legislative Council, he said that "is a matter for the Gen eral Assembly."
