Wkt from Dickson Outlines New SG Program By ERNEST ROm, DTH Staff Writer Speaking before a group of Ehringhaus residents Monday night, Student Body President Paul Dickson said that the Student Government is con sidering retaining a lawyer to advise it on legal matters. Dickson, making a tour of various residence halls, also enumerated programs he wants enacted this year. Dickson also talked at length about the possibility of establishing a student co-operative to sell books, clothing and other items for reduced prices. Contending that current prices, both downtown and in campus stores are too high, he mentioned the possibility of Student Government "taking over" the Book Exchange. A student raised the ques tion of whether or not Student Government could legally op erate a business on campus. To this, Dickson replied that it might be necessary for Stu dent Government to incorpo rate itself, and that this was one of the reasons that the organization wished to hire a lawyer for legal advice. During a question period fol lowing Dickson's informal 20 minute talk, several students asked the student body presi dent about his recent convic tion on a Campus Code viola tion. "If you don't want me in of fice," he told his audience, in reply to one question, "you have the right to remove me." Jurors Picked For Rinaldi HILLSBOROUGH (AP) District Solicitor Dick Cooper Jr. said. Tuesday 96 jurors, have been summoned for the second murder trial of form er UNC graduate student FrankRinaldiOct.il. Rinaldi is charged in the slaying of his wife. Cooper said he plans to con fer with State Bureau of In- vpeHaaHnn ntrpnts anH nthpr officers Friday "concerning the evidence we plan to pre- sent." Rinaldi, 35, a former grad uate student and part-time i English was convicted last Nov. 18 of first degree mur der with a recommendation for mercy. This carries an automatic life sentence under North Carolina law. The North Carolina Supreme Court, in a 5-2 decision, ruled June 20 that Rinaldi was en titled to a new trial. The high court said certain state evidence introduced at Rinaldi's trial was prejudicial to his case. Rinaldi's wife, Lucille, 34, was found slain in an apart ment in Chapel Hill on Christ mas Eve, 1963. rw'Miiwwi.iii,l?ii5W!l .- urn Hi " - TT-ir i i .in FT""" i v - ) f t p i ' f ' "-11 - ,ll - - I HELLO . . .

Dickson issued a statement Sept. 21, saying that he thought it in the best interest of Student Government not to resign because of the convic tion for which he received an official reprimand. He said that he did not think that the conviction limited his power to carry out his respon sibilities to the students and the University. "I think there is no real problem in my re lations with the administra tion," Dickson said. Other topics brought up by Dickson during his talk in cluded the speaker ban law, a possible shuttle-bus service for the campus and the gen eral image of the University. Dickson said that a shuttle bus service for the campus, especially the more outlying areas, is currently under con sideration by both the ad ministration and Student Gov ernment, but no definite plans have been made so far. "There's no sense in spend ing money on something like this," Dickson explained, "un til we have a feasible plan." Dickson said that he thought that the image of the Univer sity had been badly damaged by the speaker ban controver sy, and urged students to ask their parents to write to the Speaker Ban Commission. Dickson said that he thought the Speaker Ban Study Com mission was set up "not in good faith, by the governor who was stalling for time." However, Dickson said that he felt the commission had acted fairly and that he was confi dent that the commission would decide in favor of the University. Terming current criticism of the University- "vicious," the student body president said that Student Government would work to the best of its ability to improve the image of the University. One project Dickson is back ing is a 15-minute public re lations radio program to be distributed state-wide by Stu dent Government.

Tom White of Le noir County defended the speaker ban law Monday, say ing that no solution could be found without "the exercise of patience and restraint." Addressing the Durham Ro tary Club, White called the possible loss of accreditation to state - supported institu tions a "veiled threat" and said the thinking of some edu cators and board members of the UNC board of trustees has switched from rational to emo tional. Psychological Explanation The chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, a longtime supporter of the ban, used a psychological explana tion in pointing out the errors of state educators. "Psychologists tell us a suggestion that the communi ty is threatened is more po tent than a direct statement to that effect," White said. "When this sort of an idea is introduced indirectly by suggestion, it gradually pene trates the entire mental proc esses of any person involved and becomes a part of his outlook." W7hite based his argument on the premise that the pos If ,s other line. DTH photographer Ernest Robl caught GM employee giving out information in such a two-phone conversation here.

He said a person must exercise intellectual objectivi ty. , and - emotional stability . when considering the matter of the speaker ban. "...patience and restraint..." "The exercise of patience and restraint is essential," he said. "Honest and sincere ef forts on the part of adminis trative officials, educators and legislators are necessary if any improvement in the sit uation is to be achieved." The senator could not be reached yesterday to comment on what "improvement in the situation" he was referring to. Before mentioning the speak er ban Monday, however, WTiite outlined how much mon ey was appropriated to edu cation by the General Assem bly this year. He said the legislators in Raleigh do have the best in terest of UNC at heart, "de spite all efforts of the liberal press to convince the public" otherwise. White then summed up the controversy as it faced this year's General Assembly. "The trustees of the Univer sity appointed a committee," he said. Town Of Chapel Hill Will Get In On The Towing Act As if the parking problem wasn't bad enough. The town of Chapel Hill is now stepping into action to free itself from the exhausting headache. The Board of Aldermen Monday approved an ordi nance giving police authority to tow away and impound im properly narked cars at the owner's expense. Police asked for more de tailed authority to deal with the cramped parking situation after University students re turned to the campus several weeks ago. Traffic congestion has been on the increase every year, and this year the problem has become critical. New restrictions by the ad ministration have forced many students to park their cars off campus. The police request dealth with the parking problem along E. Franklin St., which was converted to four lanes this year. Town Manager Robert Peck said there have been no ac cidents so far. But he warned that police have reported sev eral close calls when cars were parked in the Franklin St. traffic lanes. .Denounces Dickson, peopie i:se juay and her faithful box of carbon paper mat keeps Carolina student government running smoothly. DTH photo by Ernest Robl. "The chancellors made pro- nouncements. Efforts were made to evaluate the chances to repeal or amend the law," he continued.. . Threat "Procured" "In some yet unknown way an alleged threat of loss of accreditation was procured. The liberal press got into the act with aclarity and venom ous zeal." Concerning academic free dom as it applies to the Uni versity, White commented, "I do not know what is the ac cepted definition of academic freedom at the University of North Carolina or at other in stitutions of " higher learning in the state. "But if the present concept of academic freedom at insti tutions of higher learning in cludes as either necessary or advisable a program of hav ing known Communists, other subversives and all kinds of oddball beatniks speak on the campus with the institutions' cloak of respectability draped around their shoulders, then, in my opinion, this concept ought to be revised." Sen. WTute added that he would like to know just what the real situation was in re gard to the many charges of The towing arrangement established by the town will be similar to the one used by the University. The University, using a new parking system this year, has a towing arrangement with several wrecker services here. In other action Peck told the board he has received 65 replies from 154 bond holders who financed the town park ing lot on Rosemary St., con- cerning a plan to convert the bonds in order to extend the lot. At its last meeting the board adopted a plan by New York bond attorneys to recall all 3 per cent revenue bonds sold to finance the lot and to is sue 2.25 per cent revenue bonds to finance the new ex pansion. Eleven bond owners, hold ing $5,500 worth of bonds, said they would not go along with the plan. Peck said 54 holders agreed. Further action was pending the receipt of more replies. The board also urged the police department to enforce crosswalk regulation in the downtown area.

V'Dc Charges 'Scandal, Irresponsibility 9 By JOHN GREENBACKER DTH Political Writer Former student body vice president Don Carson leveled charges of "scandal" and "irresponsibility" against Student Body President Paul Dickson and his administration Monday night at a meeting of the Uni versity Party in Gerrard Hall. Carson said his remarks were meant to "set the record straight" about the UP's role during the after math of Dickson's conviction this summer for a cam pus code violation. Dickson received an official reprimand from the Men's Council for taking a coed into a closed fraternity house. In the resulting crisis, stu dent leaders, University ad ministrators and 1,500 students attempted in vain to get Dick son to resign. "It is regrettable," Carson told the group of nearly 150 "That in order to camouflage their own irresponsibility the members of the opposition par ty have begun a desperate at tack against this party. "They are charging that we are in collusion with the ad ministration and have given information to the state press," he said. "I want to' tell you of the role played by the University Party in this situation." Carson said UP leaders had quietly kept counsel with Dick son and his advisors during the early days of the crisis. According to Carson, when Dickson refused to resign, Dean of Student Affairs C. O. Cathey threatened Dickson with the possible review of his case by the Faculty Review Board. - - Carsoa-aid - Cathey implied Dickson would be thrown out of school by the Board if he didn't resign from the presi dency. Ease Pressure The UP leaders who had previously asked Dickson to resign then sought ways to ease the administration's pres . sure, according to Carson. Carson blasted top Dickson advisors Arthur Hays, Roger Foushee, John Randall and former student body president Mike Lawler for their reac tion to the administration's de mands. "It was disgusting to sit there and listen to the hys terical proposals these four made," he said. Carson said the four advis ors, whom he referred to as the "fearsome foursome" of the Student Party, advocated "hiring lawyers, sueing the administration, and even mov ing Student Government across Franklin Street. "Mike Lawler, who I under stand holds certain tactics used in the Berkeley riots in high regard, told Dickson, No course of action you take in this matter could be too radi cal,' " Carson said. Intervention He said the UP leaders in tervened for Dickson, spoke in a group to Chancellor Paul Sharp, and got the University to withdraw its threat. I can tell you now, Car- son said, ''that had it not been for the intervention of the lead- for the intervention ers of the University Party, the president of the student body would be singing 'I got my troubles, you got yours' to the tune of 'going home to Raeford. "I will say to John Randall that if he and the other mem bers of the SP old guard had advised without regard for pet ty patronage the University would have been spared its latest trip through the journ alistic mud of the state's news media." Open Defiance Carson criticised SP leaders for suggesting the open deti "l",!.: I " Tl UUdUUU, V lit wjv its support of Student gov ernment in the past. "Being a student is not a license to gratify every whim, to incite protest or to dictate to the administration," he said. Attacking the "incompetence and irresponsibility" of the Dickson adininistration, Car son expressed distress that "the ability and creativeness of men like Bob Wilson are stiffled by an arteriosclerotic administration. SP "The present administration is filled with men who have a higher regard for their 6wn twisted philosophies of student autonomy than they do for the good of the University," Car son said. 'The Dickson administration reminds us of a child playing in the driver's seat of a caf," he said. "It doesn't matter to the child that the car isn't go ing anywhere, just so long as he's steering." Interesting Story When he heard of Carson's remarks to the UP, Dickson said yesterday, 4That's an in teresting story." Student Body Secretary Sherry O'Donnell (SP) said in a statement issued yesterday, "I was most shocked to find Don reversing in his address to his political party the posi tions he had taken previously in confidence." She said Carson had taken part in several discussions about the Dickson crisis "in a spirit of non-partisan con cern for the University. "Although this may be po litically expedient for Don," she said, "1 cannot help but feel that the damage his ill considered remarks may do Student Government and this University are so great that expediency alone cannot jus tify them. "In fact," she said, "I con sider Don's statement malici ous and indefensible, irrespon sible in the extreme. "Since Don feels the propos als made at these meetings were 'hysterical,' I can only conclude that Don's endorse ment of them was made then in a similar state of mind," Miss O'Donnell said. It Is No Secret Student Body Vice President Britt Gordon also told the party, "It is no secret to any of you that a deep and serious crisis surrounds your Student Government at this time. "I stand ready to give all that I have, including subject ing myself to the personal abuse that I will surely re ceive, in defense of the honor of the University and the in tegrity of this Student Govern ment," he said. UP Chairman Jim Hubbard also criticised the current Stu dent Party administration and outlined a program for party progress during the next year. "This party will never low er itself to the point that its committment to this campus is to criticise or slander," he said.
