Thursday, August 5, 1965 THE TAR HEEL Page 7 Gale McGee Raps Gag Law In Speech To U. S. Senate By DAVID ROTIIMAN Tar Heel Staff Writer WASHINGTON - The sub ject of North Carolina's speak er ban law popped up in a July 27 Senate speech by Sen. Gale McGee of Wyoming. McGee called the legislation a "threat to academic free dom." He said it threatened "an integral part of the education al process for preparing stu dents to understand their own democracy and the meaning of our national and personal freedoms." The Senator quoted former University President Frank Porter Graham: "The free market of ideas in the historic American view is a basic part of the Ameri can tradition of free enter prise. "The 'gag law' is a reflec tion on the intelligence of youth and the responsible freedom of students in the state's colleges and an expres sion of a lack of faith in the robustness of democracy." Earlier, Sen. Stephen oung of Ohio also called the law a menace to academic free dom. According to McGee, . . the current attacks against the campuses are (not) mere nit picking assaults that will soon fade away. 1 t 'V n mm SEN. GALE McGEE ...hits ban "Already the campus is be ing selected not only for those targets of anti - Viet Nam ad vocates, but also for all other suspicious persons and groups convenient to the needs of pro fessional patrioteers." McGee mentioned other "threats to freee speech." He said that right - wing extrem ists are using recorded tele phone messages to slander Suspect Found (Continued from Page 1) attended the services. A UNC delegation which included classmates and friends of Miss Evans was headed by Dean of Women Katherine Carmichael. Police declined to identify those giving evidence, includ ing the student supplying the description of the suspect, the coeds and the nuns. A group of Chapel Hill bus iness men headed Paul Rob ertson is collecting money for a reward fund. By late Wed nesday evening several hun dred dollars in contributions had been collected. Robertson, a retired real estate agent and former com mander of the state American Legion, said that the final amount of the reward would depend on future contributions. After police recieved re ports that other women stu dents had been followed on campus, Blaek issued an ap peal for anyone who had been involved in suih an incident to report to the police. Similar appeals were made by Cam pus Police Chief Arthur Beau mont and the Dean of Women's office. All three sources said that names of students making re ports would not be released The Dean of Women's office said that reports of such in cidents should be made either to dormitory officials or direct ly to the office. Miss Evans, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Evans of Mooresville, was a rising sen ior at UNC-G. This summer the coed was taking an education and soci ology course here. "A wonderful girl," was the description of Miss Evans giv en by her roommate Caroline Kay Seawell, 20, of Bethesda, Md. "I never met anyone so wonderful." "Suellen didn't go in for athletics, but she could sing. Oh, she was wonderful, I just can't talk any more," she said Friday. They had been roommates at Catawba College in Salis bury and had been assigned the same room at the Greens boro campus this fall. Arboretum (Continued from Page 1) which permitted a natural lurking place for any person seeking to missuse the Arbore tum. "Student Government is nat urally concerned. I feel that action should be taken by the University to thin out the jun gle like shrubs and, wherever possible, clear out all thickets and undergrowth which add nothing to the beauty nor the research value of our botani cal garden. "The Arboretum is poorly lighted and should be made more safe by the addition of mercury lamps appropriately illuminating all walkways. Re cent proposals to turn the area into a formal garden with more benches and lights could cause the Botany Department some temporary hardship, but the beauty of the campus and the safety of our students would be enhanced. This should be our aim." , groups and institutions. The Senator said that dur ing a teach-in at the Univer sity of Miami, residents with telephones could hear "Let Freedom Ring" give its ver sion of patriotism: "Last Tuesday night, at Mi ami's own little red school house, there was a strange assortment of pinks, punks, beatniks and leftwing educa tors assembled for the un ashamed purpose of pleading for a soft line against the com munists." McGee said a Senator who participated in the Viet Nam discussion was "described as being 'shoulder to shoulder with a Marxist who advocates selectivee assassination.' " McGee warned the Senate that "normal, if sometimes wrongheaded, ferment on the campus is already being seized upon as an excuse to launch new witch hunts" with "the purpose of stifling the differing points of view." He said that the Virginia branch of "one of our larger veterans organizations" wants the Virginia General Assem bly to ban campus speakers with communist affiliations. "This tendency will intensify rather than abate in the months ahead," he said. McGee supports President Johnson's Viet Nam policy.
