- A State Department official
told students and professors
here yesterday, "We are go
ing to win this war in Viet
Nam."
Turner Shelton, special as
sistant to the assistant secre
tary of stale for public affairs,
made the remark in 'Carroll
Hall during an address on the
administration's Viet Nam pol
icy. "The Viet Cong is losing,"
he said. "There have been
more and more Viet Cong de
fections and fewer supplies
and troops coming from the
north."
Shelton outlined the history
of the Viet Nam situation be
fore the audience of nearly 50
people.
"After the Geneva accord,
between 1954 and 1959, consid
erabel progress was made in
South Viet Nam," he said.
"The people of South Viet
Nam had gone a long way to

ward achieving a feeling of
belonging."
He said the communist North
Viet Nam regime of Ho Chi
Ming was characterized by
"corruption and dispair.
"After 1959, however, two
major trends appeared in the
Viet Nam situation," he said.
"The government of Presi
dent Diem became personal in
nature. It narrowed its base
of support and opposition po
litical parties were persecut
ed."
Shelton attributed Diem's
corruption to an "unfortunate
family, situation," but he add
ed that, "He did provide good
leadership for a number of
years.
"The second trend was that
the North Vietnamese regime
became impatient when there
revolution which they expected
in the South did not occur.
"Hanoi felt thwarted in its
effort to overthrow the gov
ernment of Laos," he said, "so
it turned its efforts to the
South.
"In the fall of 1961, the Viet
Cong began a campaign of as
sassination," he said. "In 1961,
400 local South Vietnamese
leaders were assassinated and
at least 700 were kidnapped."
Shelton said Diem was later
overthrown after a series of
violent disputes with Buddhist
leaders.
He said the only aid which
the Kennedy administration of
fered Diem was weapons and
military advisors to stop the
communist threat-
The widened Viet Cong of
fensive in the South, accord
ing to Shelton, would not be
considered a civil war.
"Nothing could be more ab
surd " he said.
Minimizing claims of Viet
Cong support in South Viet
Nam, Shelton -said Hanoi and
Peiping had conspired to
launch the offensive in the
South, and were engaged in
active aggression against an
other nation.
Explaining the U. S. posi-.
tion in Viet Nam, he said,
"Once having given our word,
we can't leave the South Viet
namese to the dispair of com
munism." He said bombings of North
Viet Nam were justified by the
-basic rights of self defense.
"We seek no wider war in
Viet Nam," he said, "but Ha
noi and Peiping daily reiterate
their intention to conquer the
world by war."
When asked why elections
weren't held throughout Viet
Nam in 1956 in accordance
with the Geneva agreement
Shelton said, "There was no
possibility for free elections."
He said any election proce
dure in the North was ham
pered by the communist re
gime, which held power over
communications and travel.

Accreditation
Claims Called
'Premature9
By ANDY MYERS
DTH Staff Writer
Recent claims that state-supported
institutions were not in
danger of loss of accreditation
by the Southern Association of
Colleges and Schools were
"premature," according to an
association spokesman.
There has been a controver
sy in the past weeks whether
state - supported colleges were
threatened with loss of accredi
tation because of the speaker
ban law.
The law, rushed to passage
late in the 1963 General As
sembly, prohibits Communists
and persons who have taken
the Fifth Amendment concern
ing loyalty to the constitution
from speaking on any state
college campuses.
Tom Walker, Gov. Dan
Moore's press secretary, said
yesterday that Moore will
make a statement later this
week on his recent talks with
top officials from the associa
tion. It was learned yesterday that
at least two visits were made
to Raleigh by officials to dis
cuss possible loss of accredi
tation. The first visit came late
in April when the Governor
was down with the mumps,
but on the second visit last
week Moore spoke with Dean
Fields and Gordon Sweet, ex
ecutive director of the South
ern Association.
Walker said Gov. Moore stat
ed he "had no reason to be
lieve there was any threat to
our accreditation," but that he
will report the findings of his
talks with association officials
to the legislature.
One of the visiting officials
from the association, Dr. Em
mett Fields, dean of the col
lege of arts and sciences at
Vanderbilt University, said
that claims by some of the
state news media that accredi
tation is not at stake are "ob
viously premature."
Fields, who is also president
of the executive council of the
commission on colleges of the
Southern Association, said that
the council "has acted," con
trary to previous reports.
. He continued: "The execu
tive council has been aware of
the speaker ban law in North
Carolina and has discussed its
effects on the association's
North Carolina members."
The council "is continuing
its consideration of the mat
ter. It has taken no formal ac
tion." The commission on col
leges is the accreditating agen
cy for the Southern Associa
tion of Colleges and Schools.
Ed Rankin, N. C. director of
administration and Gov.
Moore's chief lieutenant, con
firmed that Sweet and Fields
came to Raleigh twice to see
the Governor.
Declining to disclose the re
sults of the talk, Rankin said
that Sweet and Fields were
asked by the executive coun
cil to make a report to that
body.
More Silence
The Iiiterfraternity Council
voted Monday to continue strict
rules in fraternity rushing
through the fall semester in.
the same manner as last year.
Alternate proposals of hav
ing either a series of Sunday
afternoon rush parties in the
fall or a modified strict silence
failed to be inacted by a slim
margin of votes.
The modified silence plan
would have allowed fraternity
men to speak to prospective
freshman rushees during the
hours of 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Two - thirds vote of the body
is required to inact a change
of this type in rush procedure.

Carmichael Gym Will Not
Be Ready For Orientation
The 1965 Fall Orientation
Committee has been denied
Use of Carmichael Gymnasium -for
Orientation Week, it was
disclosed yesterday by Dean of
Men William G. Long.
The committee had sched
uled 40 per cent of the orienta
tion, program for Carmichael
Gym, but because of a recent
delay in a steel delivery to the
construction site the projected
data of completion has been
extended 45 days.
Bob Wilson, chairman of the
committee, said it would have
been unnecessary to split ori
entation into two groups if Car
michael had been available.
Orientation is scheduled to
begin on Sept. 10, and the new
date of completion of the gym
is Aug. 25, according to Ath
letic Director Chuck Erickson.
But even though the end of
construction on the gym is
earlier than the beginning of
orientation workers will be in
stalling heat ducts and electri
cal systems.
Aug. 25 is the projected date
for completion of masonry and
cement work only.
Wilson said he found out
about losing Carmichael Gym

"Next fall would have been
the first time orientation was
not split up into two groups,"
he said. In past, years most of
orientation was held in Me
morial Hall, which can accom
modate approximately half of
the incoming students.
Wilson noted that in splitting
orientation "the second group
usually doesn't work out very
well."
Erickson said that the De
partment of Property Control
in Raleigh had moved the com
pletion date up from mid-July
to August 25. They expect Car
michael . to be ready by that
date, but there are a lot' of
possibilities of developing la
bor trouble or weather trou
ble, he said.
Yesterday about two - thirds
of the masonry had been com
pleted, and they will be pour

within a few weeks. "I hope
we'll make it," Erickson said.

Dickson, Gordon Battle
Over Legislature Session
A special session of Student
Legislature will be held tonight
at 7:30 in New East in the
midst of a controversy be
tween Student Body President
Paul Dickson and Speaker of
the Legislature Brit Gordon
over the session's legality.
Dickson had 15 legislators
sign a petition calling for a
special session tonight in order
to consider several important
appropriation bills and presi
dential appointments for the
summer school Student Gov
ernment. In a statement issued yes
terday, Gordon said, "Upon
the receipt of a petition con
taining the required number
of legislators' signatures, I
have been forced to call a spe
cial session of the legislature."
In protesting Dickson's
move, Gordon cited the near
ness of final examinations and
alleged negligence on Dick
son's part in not submitting
his appointments to SL at an
earner date.
"According to my interpre
tation of the legislative by
laws," Gordon's statement
reads, "this session is illegal."
Gordon said he was backed
in his interpretation by the
past three speakers of the leg
islature and University and
Student Party leaders alike.
"I can find only one excep
tion to this tradition, and the
circumstances surrounding
even that exception are
vague," Gordon said.
Dickson cited Student Gov
ernment statutes which say
that regular sessions of the leg
islature cannot be held within
the last two weeks before fin
als, but that special sessions
of the body may be called if
15 legislators sign a petition
ordering it.
'This session is not illegal,
and it is certainly not without
precedence, since in 1961 a spe
cial session was held on May
16 " Dickson said. "Examina
tions began May 24 that year.
"I hope that all student leg
islators realize the urgency of
the situation and will be in at
tendance at the special ses
sion," he said. "It would be
a bad reflection on Student

The General Assembly's
Joint Trustee Committee held
a mass balloting session yes
terday to select 27 trustees
for the Consolidated Univer
sify. As the DTH went to press,
the committee's choices were
not final, but there had been
a reduction from 65 to 62 can
didates. Two of the nominees were
not North Carolina, residents,
and a third asked that his
name be withdrawn. They
were Leslie Boney Jr. of Wil
mington, Charles Mitchell of
New York City and Roy H.
Park of Ithaca, N. Y.
Rep. James Green, chair
man of the House committee
on trustee selection, said Tues
day that the Senate and House
committees had failed to come
up with separate slates of 27
names each.
Any differences between the
lists would be settled in a joint
conference committee, Green
said.
Green, of Bladen, advanced
a subcommittee screening plan
in an "effort to find a more
dignified way of selecting trus
tees than the old horse-trading,
vote - swapping way of you-vote-for-my-man-and-I'll-vote-for-yours
method."
Green said his plan would
"take the selection out of pol
itics and choose them on their
qualifications."
Sen. Claude Currie, chair
man of the Senate committee
on trustee selection, preferred
the mass balloting procedure
already in use.
House Speaker Pat Taylor,
disturbed by the failure o the
Senate and House committees
to come up with separate
slates, favored another way of
selecting trustees.
On Tuesday, the Senate com
mittee had authorized a sub
committee study of 'Halifax
Sen. Julian Allsbrook's propos
al to make trustee nomina-
Government if these bills are
not passed."
Dickson said his appoint
ments to the summer Honor ,
Council were very important.
"If they are not approved,
the courts could be considered
invalid," he said.
If the Honor Council appoint
ments are not approved, then
the University administration
would have to appoint students
to the posts or handle student
offenses itself.
Long's Statement
Dean of Men William Long
said yesterday the administra
tion is "alert to any question
on validity of student courts.
"Our concern is that the
summer school Honor Council
must be duly constituted," he
said.
Long said the University
would have "bad trouble" if
a student was thrown out of
the University by a student
court whose authority might be
questioned
Andy Capp Is The Winner!
Andy Capp, the spunky little Englishman drawn
by Smythe, was declared official winner of the DTH
"Which Cartoon?" Contest when balloting ended at 5
p.m. yesterday.
The syndicated strip will join Peanuts next year
as regular features in the Tar Heel. Special appropri
ations from Student Government allowed the purchase
of another cartoon.
Totals from the general student balloting was as
follows: Andy Caort. 37: Poso.
26; The Wizard of Id, 2; and
B.C., 6.
Andy was not available for
comment on his victory. His
faithful wife, Lorrie, said he
was down at the local pub
"hsvin' a nip," before supper.
The editors hope he is sober
enough to appear in print by
next Fall. Chances are slim
according to the London La

collects his dole every week.

Trustees

basis.
a senatorial district
Under Allsbrook's plan, state
senators would nominate two
trustees from his district aft
er discussion with, representa
tives. The plan would arrange
trustee terms so that represen
tation on the Trustee board
would continue to be State
wide. Sen. Tom White of Lenoir
County moved that Allsbrook's
proposal be taken up by a five
man subcommittee. He said
he doubted the legislature
would come up with a new
trustee selection system dur
ing this session of the State
Legislature.
According to Sen. Currie,
"the joint committee is a joint
committee, and I can't s e e
how At can be anything else.
We will ail vote together and
the top 27 names will be the
ones put before a joint ses
sion of the legislature."
The decision of the joint com
mUtce is binding or the two
committees, Currie said.
These clumgis hvc" taken
pbee since Uie plans f-- the
House subcommittee were
made:
Ten more names will be
given by the 'subommittcs
than the required 27. Rep.
Green said this is necessary
'in order to give the commit
tee some selection in the mat
ter." There are no separate
House and Senate dates and
no conference committee.
Green said that the names
of the House subcommittee
'members - will not be an
nounced. "The members have
told me that it's all over now
so they see no point in nam
ing the members," he said
The subcommittee recom
mendations will be disclosed
only to the committee. They
will be made known in an ex
ecutive session.
Referring to the senatorial
district plan, Consoildated UnU
versity President William Fri
day said: "Under the law, the
election of trustees is a mat
ter for the General Assembly.
Therefore, it would be inap
propriate for me to comment
at this time."
