CHAPEL HILL, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, JULY 29, 1965 New Press Is Employed By Tar Heel Today's Tar Heel is a mile-, stone In the 73-year printing history of UNC newspapers. Beginning with this issue, the Tar Heel and the regular session newspaper. The Daily Tar Heel, will be printed by a photographic off -set method. The changeover from letter press to off-set was made pos sible by new machinery pur chased by the Chapel Hill Weekly. The Tar Heel is printed in the Weekly press room. Type does not come into con tact with the paper under the off-set method. Instead, the paper picks up the image from a photographic engraving of the page. The new process will carry three major advantages fast er printing, better picture re production and a "cleaner paper," according to Tar Heel editor Mike Yopp. "The new process will save nearly two hours in printing time this summer," he said. "The old flat-bed press took -1 A XI 1 L 1A 1L. ' auoui uuree nuurs iu pruii uie Tar HeeL The new process will print the 4,500 Tar Heels in less than an hour. This, of course, means the paper can be circulated two hours earlier." Yopp said there will be a "recognizable difference in the .quality of picture reproduc tion." "Under the previous opera tion," he said, "a plastic en graving was made of the pic ture, and this engraving was .used in the printing process. This method blurs detail in pictures. t "With off-set, the picture is chemically photographed di rectly onto the page. The re sult is clear reproduction that looks like a freshly-developed snapshot." He said the paper will be "cleaner" since "ink smears will be eliminated." "A flat-bed press, the type always used by the Tar Heel, ' prints by running paper into direct contact with inked type. If inking is too heavy one page may show through to another. If it is too light, it is difficult to read. . ,... "Another problem is that 'high leads' between columns jump up from time to time making smears on the page. However, with off-set the paper doesn't touch the type." Photographic off-set is a relatively new printing de velopment which is increas ing in popularity, especially among smaller newspapers. Since 1893, the Tar Heel and the DTH have been print ed in numerous shops in the area. Today's issue is the first to be printed by the off set method. INSTANT GAG WUNC-TV, Channel 4, will telecast live the Aug. 11 and 12 hearings before the speak er ban commission. Commis sion chairman David Britt .said he welcomes the telecasts.

UNC Grad School Is Best In South UNC is the only Southern university to receive an over all "A" rating for its grad- . uate and doctorate programs, reports a study published this week. Dr. Allan M. Cartter of the American Council of Educa tion in Washington, wrote in the July issue of the Southern Economic Journal that UNC was ranked best in the South in graduate programs, with Duke and Texas receiving the next highest ratings. "The University of North Carolina receives the only 'A rating both for average of offered programs, and allow ing for inclusiveness of offer lings," Cartter wrote. Of the 16 areas of study rated in the report, 10 recei ved an individual "A" stand ing, four a "B," and two a "a" Areas receiving top rating were classics, English, French economics, history, political science, sociology, chemistry, mathematics and psychology. Physics, geology, botany and zoology were ranked in the second category; philos ophy and biochemistry were given a "C." Factors influencing the rat ing included the number of doctorates awarded in the area of study, and the number of graduates going on to re ceive doctorate degrees. "By institution, the highest percentages of graduates going on to obtain the doctor ate were Rice, 13.6 per cent; Peabody, 9.1 per cent; Hous ton, 5.8 per cent; UNC, 5.8 per cent; .and Kentucky, 5.3 per cent," the report states. Despite the fact that some Southern institutions ranked high in a number of areas, Cartter said that Southern universities and colleges still (Continued on Page 2) Cartter Report Political Pressure Cited Political pressure to g.e increased support to smaller colleges and the creation of community colleges, at the ex pense of the University will have a detrimental effect on the quality of higher education in North Carolina, a recent study warns. Dr. Allan M. Cartter, form er Duke economist and now a staff member of the Ameri can Council on Education, says the South must face the choice between quality and quantity education, with qual ity being the only reasonable choice for North Carolina. In a report on "Qualitative Aspects of Southern Univer- ty Education" published in Immunity Is Asked For UNC Speakers Before Gag Panel By ERNEST ROBL Tar Heel Asst. Editor Consolidated University and UNC officials reacted with surprise to a letter written by N. C. American Legion Com mander J. Alvis Carver asking that the University guarantee in writing not to make repri sals against faculty members or students who testify in fav or of the speaker ban law. Carver made the request in a letter mailed Monday to Consolidated University Presi dent William C. Friday. "It is only natural," wrote Carver, "that some of these people may have a reluctance to appear and state convic tions which are directly op posed to those of the UNC administration for fear that doing so might put their posi tion, future prgmotion or standing in jeopardy. "I am writing to formally request that you give us in writing a guarantee that no reprisals of any sort will be taken against such witnesses at any time in the near or dis tant future because of such appearances in support of this law. "I feel sure that you respect their right to differ with you and that you will be happy to do this," concluded Carver. Carver also requested copies of any memos or directives issued to UNC staff and facul ty members concerning their expression of views on the subject, and a list of UNC pro fessors who have said that they would resign if the Uni versity lost its accreditation because of the law. Friday, currently out of town, could not be reached for comment. However, a high Consolidated University offi cial told the Tar Heel: "All members of the University faculty and staff have been and will continue to be free to express their views on this the July issue of the Southern Economic Journal, he writes: "I doubt whether the state of North Carolina by itself will be able to withstand the poli tical pressure to convert for mer teachers colleges into un iversities and begin commun ity colleges in every metro polis, and instead continue to invest adequately in its al ready distinguished univer sity. Cartter further says South ern higher education "must become quality conscious or be left behind." Citing the South's lag be hind other parts of the country in higher education, Cartter (Continued on Page 2) and other public issues." The same Consolidated Uni versity spokesman pointed out that chapter IV section 4 of the By-Laws of the University Trustees guarantees Univer sity faculty and staff members the right to voice their own opinions on public issues as long as these faculty and staff members do not claim to be acting as official spokesmen for the University. Carver said he expects to have a number of witnesses from the University when the Legion presents its case on the afternoon of Aug. 12. During the two-year exist ence of the gag law, the Le gion has , consistently come out In Its support. When asked whether he thought people were intimi dated at UNC, Carver replied: "I don't know. We just don't want to take any chances; we don't want anyone to get hurt." Carver refused to elaborate on the nature of the witnesses he would be calling from the University. "We don't want to give anything away," he said. The Legion chief said that (Continued on Page 2) Freshman Class Ranks To Swell: 2,300 Expected This fall's freshman class will include about 300 more students than last year's ac cording to Admissions Dir ector Charles Bernard.' oeruaru saw a wuu ui A AAA t 1 1 3 ' XI 1 iresnmen naa appuea, been admitted and paid en rollment deposits. The corres ponding figure for last fall was approximately 2,000 he said. In addition to freshmen, 722 transfer students have completed all requirements for admission, bringing the total of new undergraduate students to 3,048. Bernard said S20 transfer students have been notified cf their admission. Many of these may pay their fees and enter next year. Bernard said he expected about 800 trans fers in all. All entering freshmen next year will have a predicted grade average of at least 2.0, a C. The minimum predicted grade average for admission, required by the University's policy would have been 1.6.
