OCTOBER 23. 1965 .Boa: .Declares Petiti Invalid (I THE PIN WHEELS at the top of the diagram are actually men's residence halls. Hinton James residence hall (A) will be out past Craige. James Knox Polk resi dence hall (B) will be in the woods across from Parker. Buildings C and D are still in the planning stage. Sew Dorm To Be Named For UNC's First By ANDY MYERS DTH Staff Writer Rumor has it that Hinton James, the first student at UNC, walked all the way from Wilmington to Chapel Hill to come to school. Therefore, it is fitting that UNC's newest residence hall, named for James, will be lo cated somewhere between Chapel Hill and Wilmington. Hinton James Residence Hall, expected to be complet ed by September 1967, will be on Manning drive out past Ehringhaus and Craige. Dean of Student Affairs CO. Cathey said Hinton Hall will look just like Morrison Resi dence Hall on the outside, but more inside room will be de voted to social facilities. Three other residence halls are in the planning stage, ac cording to Cathey. Located in the area between Scott resi dence college and Kenan sta dium, the three structures will house 1,000 men each. The first of these three has been named James Knox Polk Residence Hall. The building will house 50 men on a floor and will be 21 stories tall. Polk is the only UNC alum nus of UNC to become presi dent of the United States. He graduated in 1818 and re turned to study for his mas ters here. He was awarded an A.M. degree in 1822. Cathey said the housing Di Affirms Effect Of Civil By JOHN GREENBACKER DTH Political Writer Members and guests of the Dialectic Society voted 20 to 12 Tuesday night in affirming the question, "Is civil disobe dience today still effective?" Charles Schunior, president of the UNC chapter of the Stu dent Peace Union, defended civil disobedience as a part of the citizen's freedom to dis sent. . "The recent totalitarian minded attacks on the anti Viet Nam war demonstra tions are vastly ironic," Schunior said, "for the coun try which these pompous su perpatriots so dotingly eulog ize in fourth of July speeches was founded on dissent." Schunior attacked the ten dency to look at the law as "absolute and immutable. "A sincere dedication to the concept of the law requires us to constantly question its hu man revelence," he said. "Of each law we must ask ourselves, 'Is this a law that I should obey?'" he said. problem at UNC will be "caught up" by 1970. Stem ming from the great enroll ment increase after World War II the University has been in a housing bind ever since. None of the new dorms will be designed to allow three men in a room. Cathey said the three-man situation has been forced on the school be cause of its commitment to the state. "Since we must admit cer tain numbers of students," Cathey said, "we have an ob ligation to house them." He noted the difference between UNC and a private university which has no binding obliga tion to keep its doors open to increasing numbers of stu dents. "A private school can im pose an arbitrary cut-off in enrollment," he said. But UNC must expand as the state ex pands. By 1970, Cathey said, chang es in student housing will be something like this: Girls will be housed in the lower quad (Everett, Sta cy, Aycock, Graham, Lewis). James Residence Hall will house new students and displaced men from the low er quad. Polk residence hall will house 1,000 men. Two, as yet unnamed res idence halls, will house anoth er 1,000 students each. " 'Is this law so unjust that it needs to be resisted from the very inception, and cannot await the slow process of par liamentary reform?' " Drawing a distinction be tween covert evasion of the law and open civil disobedi ence, Schunior said civil dis obedience is frequently the best way of protesting a griev ance. He deplored a "rising tide of neo-McCarthyism" in the nation and recent criticism of demonstrations at the Univer sity. Conservative Speaks William Otis, secretary of the Carolina Conservative Club, denounced "irresponsi ble and indiscriminate use of civil disobedience" in recent weeks. Though he praised the use of civil disobedience in such areas as the field of civil rights, Otis said, "Civil dis obedience is haphazardly abused in the current rush of 'get out of Viet Nam' protests. Keiects Ingram Refutes Editorial Attack The following statement was issued by Attorney General John Ingram yesterday after noon concerning an editorial appearing in The Daily Tar Heel Tuesday, Oct. 26. Several points were raised in Tuesday's Daily Tar Heel which need to be clarieied. UNC has had two recalls in its history. In both recalls the President of the Student Body established the dates of the re call elections. In dealing with this recall, every effort has been made to follow the proce dures established by these two precedents, and it was on the basis of these two precedents that President Dickson, in con sultation with the Chairman of the Elections Board, and my self, expressed his intention to have the recall on Nov. 9, 1965, the date of the regular fall election. Mr. McCrary asks, "Was it really necessary to copy all the names off the petition onto file cards and then make another alphabetical list?" No it was NOT necessary, and if fact that procedure was Student Every will house room on campus two students or less. Every room on campus will be provided with a tele phone. Cathey said the University has chosen to build new hous ing for men only because of the prohibitive cost of n e w women's residences. The state allows the Uni versity to spend a maximum of $3,000 per student bed in any dormitory. At this figure, Morrison residence hall came close to the ceiling of $3 mil lion and they couldn't put air conditioning in the building. UNC gets no money from the state to build student housing. Residence halls are built by funds from private sources, room rent, grants and matching federal funds. However. Cathey said, the legislature has set the limit of $3,000 per student tor nousing. This aDDlies to both women 1 and men. Thus, since women s resi dence halls reauire more monev to house fewer stu dents women will be housed in renovated men's residence halls in the future. Inflation is a serious prob lem in building new student housing, according to Cathey. The $3,000 limit will not be enough to build even men's dorms in a few years, he said. Disobedience "Very few will argue that civil disobedience is never justified," he said, "but few still will contend that there never arise circumstances in which it cannot be tolerated. "It appears that we are pre sented with a situation more nearly approximating the lat ter," he said. "Our society scarcely can, and should, con tinue to put up with the dem onstrators. "When the practitioners of civil disobedience wish to ini tiate a responsible, dispas sionate and well-reasoned as sault on our 'mistaken' ideas, we will meet with them," he said. Members and guests of the society took opposing sides of the question or called for civil disobedience which does not infringe upon the rights of others. Jerry Monro was inaugurat ed as president of the Dialec tic Senate. He called on the society to continue to be an open forum for all opinion. not followed. No file cards ' were used and only one list was made, categorizing the names according to the first letter of the last name. This was necessary in order to speed up the process of checking the names against the University enrollment list and insuring that the same name did not appear on the petition more than once. In fact, several names have been found which appeared twice. Mr. McCrary implies that there has been a conscious ef fort on the part of the presi dent to slow up the validation process. President Dickson asked the chairman to have the petition validated by last Friday. On numerous occa sions I have heard him ask Mr. Tyndall to speed up the process of validation. Unfortunately, the validation has not preceded as fast as it was originally foreseen. It is true that Article V, Sec tion 1 provides that the dates of all elections shall be estab lished by an act of the Stu dent Legislature. However, Ar ticle V is entitled "Elections, Recall, Initiative and Review.?' It is clear that this title and other provisions of the consti tution draw a distinction be tween elections and recalls, initiatives at reviews. , . The section of Article V which deals specifically with recalls provides that the Pres ident shall direct the Elections Board to conduct the recall. Setting the date of the recall is a fundamental part of di recting a recall to be held. Other provisions of the Con stitution specifically dealing with initiatives and reviews make it clear that the Presi dent sets the dates of the vote. To interpret the phrase "the dates for all elections shall be established by the Student Leg islature" to include recall, ini tiative and review would mean that provisions in the same Ar ticle of the Constitution are in conflict. For Article V to make any sense at all, the term elections must be used in a narrow sense not to include recalls ini tiatives and review. Any oth er interpretation would render the entire Article V meaning less. The Student Legislature does not meet this Thursday. Its next regular session will be on (Continued on Page 5) Viet Cong Hit Bases DA NANG, Viet Nam (AP) - Viet Cong guerrillas launch ed simultaneous attacks wun mortars and infiltration teams at an air facility near u Nang and at the Chu Lai air field shortly belore mianigut yesterday.

House Probes KKK Unit Washington (AP) House investigators probed yesterday at a mysterious Ku Klux Klan unit known as "the under ground." It was brought out as the House Committee on Un-American activities question ed Furman D. Williams. Wil liams was identified as having headed the unit in South Caro lina until last month. He refused to answer when asked if it wasn't a fact that members were "trained in the use of rifles, explosives and are advocates of violence." Chief Investigator Donald T.

(AP) The Soviet Union agreed yesterday to new ne gotiation in Geneva on how to stop the spread of nuclear weapons, but said priority must be given to its own pro posals. The Soviet Union submitted a resolution to the General As sembly's main political com mittee asking for U. N. back ing of a proposed Soviet treaty aimed at blocking any North Atlantic defense arrangements involving use of nuclear weap ons. The United States filed a ri val resolution Tuesday asking for resumption of the Geneva talks as soon as possible with out imposing any condition on whether the U. S. or Soviet treaty proposals should be dis cussed. U. S. sources called the Rus sian resolution one - sided and unacceptable. They said they did not see it as a softening of the Russian position and speculated that the Soviets were merely trying to improve their bargaining position with a U.N. endorsement of their treaty. The Soviet draft expressed willingness to have the Russian proposal examined in detail by the 17-nation disarmament com mittee, but made no mention of the U. S. draft treaty. In debate before the com mittee Tuesdav, Soviet Am bassador Nikolai T. Federenko opposed a U. S. call for a re sumption of the Geneva talks, urging instead a fullscale dis cussion at the United Nations. Fedorenko called the U. S. ap peal for a return to Geneva an attempt to stall agreement. The Soviet Resolution, how 10 Add Names cles as the underground" was somehow an offshoot of the United Klans of America's klavern in Gaffney, S. C, known as Cherokee Sports man's Club. Williams, a stocky man with a high - pitched voice, also re fused to say whether there were similar units associated with other klaverns. But after Williams was dis missed, and the hearing closed for the day, Committee Chair man Edwin E. Willia, D-La., said the subject of the "under ground" was far from closed.

Motor scooters, cycles and bikes of all des criptions seem to be the answer to the park By JOHN GREENBACKER DTH Political Writer The presidential recall peti tion was declared invalid by ; the Elections Board last night , after 55 signatures on it were disqualified. A final attempt to add more I signatures to the petition was rejected by the board, and j pro - petition forces said last J night they intend to appeal the j board's decision to the Consti j tutional Council of S t u d e n t Government. The petition, which demands aul Dickson's recall as presi dent of the student body, failed to attain the endorsement of 5 per cent of the student body after false or duplicated sig natures had been eliminated rom consideration. The petition needed 1,863 signatures for a recall election to be held, and a total 1,917 signatures were presented to the board for investigation. Elections Board Chairman Alvin Tyndall said yesterday the full investigation of all the petition's signatures would not be completed once the board had ruled it invalid. Pro - petition forces made a final effort to head off the board's ruling last night when freshman class vice president Buddy Wester, acting as an agent of the petition's sponsor Sharon Rose, attempted to sub mit an additional 17 signatures on the board. Tyndall told Wester the board could not accept any more signatures. Dickson allowed an addition al 21 signatures to be added to be added to the petition last week after Miss Rose said they had been collected before the before the committee turns its attention to KKK's Georgia realm.

"If real progress is to be made," he said, "we must turn to the difficult but neces sary task of negotiation.

Foster also denied Commun ist charges that the U. S. mm .. - -r, petition was originally submit ted to the board. "Sharon agreed that no more signatures would be submit ted." Tyndall told Wester. Miss Rose telephone Tyndall shortly afterward and asked him to accept the signatures, which she claimed had also been collected before the pe tition was originally submitted. "I cannot accept them on the list," Tyndall told her. Miss Rose announced her in tention to appeal Tyndall's de cision to the Constitutional Council. Dickson said yesterday no more signatures could be sub mitted to the petition, accord ing ot his interpretation of the Student Government Constitu tion. He referred to a section, of the Constitution which reads, "The petition to recall shall be handed to the president of the student body and shall not be valid unless it contains the sig natures of at least 15 per cent of the qualified voters." Dickson said no signatures could be added so long after, the petition had been accepted. False signatures were the bulk of those disqualified. Tyndall said the board dis qualified all signatures which were duplicates or in which the signer had used and in formal "nickname" that made the signature untraceable. Dickson's recall was de manded by Miss Rose a stu dent legislator and member of Dickson's student political par ty, after the news of his sum mer school Honor Council con viction was made public. Dickson was convicted last August on a Campus Code vio lation after he took a coed into a closed fraternity house. Dickson received an official reprimand and the coed was suspended from the University. Miss Rose said yesterday she would withhold comment on the situation until the pe tition is officially proclaimed invalid by the board in a statement.
