Order
Undergraduates, Two Honoraries
Black - hooded figures with
burning candles and tolling
gong stalked the women's
residence halls and called
forth eleven undergraduate
women and two honoraries to
membership in the Order of
Valkyries, the highest wom
en's honorary organization on
campus, in pre-dawn cere
monies this morning.
Tapped were Susan Ger
trude Gretz, Hendersonville;
Sue Stalvey Guerry, Durham;
Mary Susan Kirk, Raleigh;
Miriam Rose Lane, Durham;

dria, Va.; Elizabeth Anderson
Taylor, Chapel Hill.
Mary Gray Teague, Fayette
ville; Sylvia Anne Wall, Albe
marle; Camilla Hays Walters,
Greensboro; David Kathryn
Wilborn, Raleigh; and Joan
Dee Woodworth, St. Peters
burg, Fla.
Mrs. Sara Jo Manning and

of scholarship, leadership,
character and service.

pproved
The second day in the spe
cial session of the General As
sembly saw the House of Rep
resentatives pass drastic
changes in the law, which are
essentially those recommended
by the Speaker Ban Study
Commission.
The final vote in the House
was 75 to 39.
The Senate gave an approv
al on the second reading of
the bill late yesterday, but Sen.
Robert Morgan of Harnett ob
jected to the final reading.
If passed, the changes in the
law will, in effect, turn over
to the trustees of the Univer
sities, the right to regulate
visiting speakers on campus,
rather than any legislative au
thority. Tuesday's fight in the House
was short but bitter. More
than one legislator prefaced
his remarks about how he
planned to vote by lamenting
that this session would mean
a turning point in the influ
ence of the legislature on the
state.
The bitter fight ended in de
feat of a move to put the ques
tion on a referendum next May
during the spring primaries.
For the first time in his ca
reer as House Speaker, Pat
Taylor left the rostrum to
speak against the proposed ref
erendum. Taylor said a statewide ref
erendum "could inflame all
North Carolina into the bitter
est debate in history." He said
he was forced to set such a
precedent "because I feel so
strongly on this matter."
3 - Introducer of the original
Speaker Ban bill, Rep. Phil
Godwin, said he favored the
recommendations of the
Speaker Ban Study Commis
sion, even though he had sup
ported the law as it now
stands.

Hodges Calls For Special
Committee On Campaigning
Student Party Chairman
Frank Hodges yesterday call
ed on University Party Chair
man Jim Hubbard to appoint
a special UP committee which
would meet with SP members
to work out a code of fair cam
paign practices.
Hodges issued the appeal in
a statement on recent charges
made against SP officials in
connection with the showing of
pornographic films in Morri
son Hall last week.
An extensive investigation is
being conducted by the Attor
ney General's office of the film
showing, allegedly co-sponsored
by the Student Party.
Hubbard was not available
for comment on the Hodges
proposal yesterday.

By House
the referendum, Godwin said,
"I am convinced the contro
versy caused by the Speaker
Ban Law has been a healthy
one ... I am (now) willing
to give the responsibility to the
trustees."
An attempt to amend the bill
recommended by the study
commission was made which
would require the president of
all state supported universities
to submit a monthly report to
the trustees of every speaker
and who he represented.
This move was defeated in
both the House and the Senate,
but only after a hard fight in
the House.
Approval of the amendment
in the House represents a mor
al victory for Gov. Dan Moore
who called for swift passage
by the General Assembly Mon-
day.
The 1963 law forbids known
Communists or pleaders of
The Fifth Amendment in loyal
ty cases to speak on state -supported
campuses.
Rep. David Britt of Robeson,
who headed the study commis
sion on the law, sa'id the es
sential difference between the
speaker ban and a 1941 law
prohibiting the overthrow of
the constitution was that the
speaker ban is directed at the
person, not what he says.
After the House passed the
amendment a move was made
by Rep. George Clark Jr. (R)
of New Hanover to investigate
the activities of the Southern
Association of Schools and Col
leges, calling it a "foreign
corporation."
Rep. Roger Kiser of Scotland
objected to a study of the as
sociation because the speaker
ban study commission had no
money appropriated for such
purposes.
Clark Questioned "our need
to be in the association." He
said, "I don't know if we need
to be a member of this organ-
Ernie McCrary for an editorial
published in the Nov. 16 issue
which alleges SP members
were aware of the films' show
ing and SP sponsorship of the
shows.
"I consider myself a top
level Student Party member,
and I deny that I in any way
planned or knew about the
Morrison film showing until
around 11 p.m. that night,"
Hodges said. "The films were
first shown at 9:30 p.m.
"If Mr. McCrary has charges
to make, let him make them
and let the proper action be
taken," he said. "Otherwise
absurd accusations only reflect
upon his ineptness as a journ
alist. "I learned about the films
just like all the other 2,000
ization," and then called tor an
investigation.
Explaining his resolution.
Clark said, "all it does is to
give the job to the commission
to explain to the state just ex
actly why we are in this
Southern Association."
The move was defeated in a
voice vote.
One change was made in the
amendment before passing
the House. The change deleted
the words "or other governing
authority" from the speaker
ban amendment, so there
would be no question that the
trustees are the sole authority
in determining who shall speak
on campus.
The Senate met shortly after
noon to consider changes in the
sPeaker Dan law- Sen- Robert
Morgan of Harnett attempted
to amend the bill so that the
president shall submit monthly
reports on visiting speakers.
"The people have lost confi
dence in these boards (of trus
tees) to clean their own
house," Morgan said. Giving
them a monthly report would
make them "recognize their
responsibility."
Such a report "would see
that the people will be looking
at them for their leadership
which was vested in them."
Morgan commented on a
"scurrilous" story in "The Un
iversity Report," published at
the University and written by
News Bureau Director Pete
Ivey.
He said Ivey tried to show
that the original speaker ban
was passed, not because of
fears of communist in
fluences, but because of "rac
ism" and that other factors
"were the real reason the gag
law was passed."
Morgan brought a clipping of
Ivey's story and asked that
"every member" of the Senate
read it in its entirety. The

students in Ehringhaus, Craige
and Morrison halls did," Hodg
es said.
"Realizing that a responsi
ble DTH Editor would not pur
posefully twist the facts," he
said, "I must assume the
omniscent Mr. McCrary
doesn't know what the hell he's
talking about."
