The act has been branded the "George Wallace Act" be cause the Alabama governor was its prime target in Wash ington. The law states that if 50 per cent of the voting age popula tion did not vote in the 1964 presidential election, federal registrars can be sent into a county by order of the attor ney general of the United States. Now the justice department under the direction of Attor ney General Nicholas Katzen bach plans a new census to those areas affected to deter mine if they fall under the law as of November 3. 1964. The sixth district as well as 23 oth er counties must undergo this census at a cost of some $800,000 to the taxpayers. The Congressman said that no alleged discrimination had been reported in the Sixth District, therefore he conclud ed that people are not interest ed in voting which, in his words, "is their privilege." Other parts of the 1965 law include that literacy tests are unnecessary in order to regis ter, and all people regardless of present status (convicts, fel ons, illiterates) could vote.

Bv ED FREAKLEY DTH Staff Writer Rumors have been flying around for several days that our woolly friend Rameses is gone. University officials ducked questions all week until yesterday when they ad mitted that the UNC mascot was kidnapped by Duke stu dents. Campus Police Chief Arthur Beaumont said the ram was apparently stolen last week, but that they did not know for certain until Tuesday. According to Beaumont Duke students were chanting "We've got the ram," at the Duke - Wake Forest game in Durham Saturday. "We've been trying to keep this quiet so there wouldn't be any trouble between the two schools," Beaumont said. Mrs. R. C. Hogan, of Ho gan's Farm where Rameses is kept, was the first person to confirm the rumor. "Yes, I'm afraid he is gone," she said. "They have been trying to cover it up un til they got him back to keep Carolina students from getting upset and going over and tear ing around the Duke campus. Beaumont said he had ar ranged with Duke officials to have Rameses returned. He went over to pick the ram up Tuesday but the Duke fra ternity which supposedly ab scounded with Rameses show ed up empty handed. Beau mont said the students told him and Duke's Dean of Men Robert Cox that the ram had been stolen from them. Beaumont also said that a Duke cheerleader was in volved in the incident. "Officials at Duke are go ing their best to get him back," Beaumont said. He added that Duke offi cials said if the ram wasn't returned or if it showed up at the game tomorrow the stu dents involved might be sus pended from school. "I have been given assur ance by top student leaders that they cannot find the ram," Dean Cox said yester day. "We are just as much con cerned about the missing ram as you are, and we are doing our best to locate him. If he is here we will get him back," he said. "Student leaders, campus detectives and the administra tion are deeply concerned over this and we are not tak ing it lightly." The rumors about the miss ing ram started Monday. They cropped up again on Tuesday and Wednesday. The Dean of Men's Office was contacted Tuesday but denied knowing anything about the alleged theft. Earlier this year three Wake Forest students kidnapped a Rameses, but he was the wrong ram. They made off with Rameses VII the father of Rameses VIII who is the present mascot and the one that is now in the hands of some Duke Blue Devils. The Wake students returned the ram before there was any trouble and before the foot ball game with Carolina that Saturday. The usual "extra campus security measures" are in af fect this week as they always are when Carolina meets Duke or State. Campus and Chapel Hill Po lice are working over time hoping to choke off any pos sible trouble from "high spir ited" students. The same pre cautions are being taken at Duke.

This is how we can take a $3,000 loss on the Nancy Wilson concert and consider it a huge sue cess." Why not charge a little more and make a profit? "Because our policy is to provide the campus with fine entertainment at tne least pos sible cost," Campbell said. The GMAB budget is made up from part of the student fees paid with tuition. 'This gives us enough money to pre sent such high quauty enter tainment as Louis Armstrong, the Supremes and the Norman Luboff Choir. "Some students might sub consciously feel that because the ticket price is so low, the entertainment might be infer ior." Campbell said they have to fieht this "money psycnoi- opv" and let the campus know- that the GM series whether tho tickets cost $1, $.50 or noth ing at all are expensive and hi?h caliber entertainment. "We certainly don't feel that anv student has an obligation to attend our programs, but we do hope that the low price u.iii nnt aetuallv keep him from comins." Campbell said. This weekend in Carmichael Auditorium the GMAB is pre senting Louis Armstrong Sat urday night and the Supremes Sunday afternoon. Donald R. Matthews, direc tor of NCCEP, said that ap plicants should be juniors or exceptional sophomores with about a "B" average. The Center recommends, but does not require, that students have courses in political parties and legislation. Interns will work as regular staff members from June 1 un til August 15. Their major du ties will be processing corres pondence, and after orienta tion, writing letters, reports and speeches. Interns may also do research of various types and entertain visiting consituents. Accord ing to Matthews, this provides an excellent "opportunity for the student to involve himself in the activities of a congres sional office." All interns live in the same building so they can compare TX Slates Three Talks Mike Lawler, former presi dent of the student body, and Rev.

Students Write Book For Professor Dr. Fletcher M. Green, UNC professor of history, was hon ored yesterday with a book written for him by some of his former students. Seventeen of the students, now scholars associated with a variety of leading colleges and universities, contributed to "Writing Southern History: Essays in Historiography in Honor of Fletcher M. Green." Dr. Green was presented with the book in Richmond, where the Southern Historical Association is currently meet ing. The forward, which says "this book is dedicated to Fletcher Melvin Green, a mas ter teacher," gives an idea of why and how the collection came to be. Editors Arthur S. Link of Princeton and Rem bert W. Patrick of the Univer sity of Florida, quote words about Dr. Green which come from a study of Pioneer His torians of the South. The author, W. H. Stephen son, tells of Dr. Green's grad uate seminar at UNC and says that of students participating in the course through the years, some 150 have earned the masters degree, some 90 the doctorate and 25 more are working on dissertations. Stephenson speaks with ad miration of the 325 books and articles produced by the mem bers of that seminar, of the fellowships and awards won by them. He notes they have taught in half of the states and in England, Germany, Japan and India. When questioned about the impressive record of his stu dents, Dr. Green says "Why they come by that zeal I can not say." But, says Stephenson, mem bers of that "master teach er's" seminar, know "if the modest director does not." The impetus for Writing Southern History originated several years ago and a com mittee composed of J. Carlyle Sitterson, vice chancellor of UNC, Dewey W. Grantham, Jr. of Vanderbilt and Bennett H. Wall of the University of Kentucky were named to or ganize the project. Surveying and analyzing the available writing on various aspects of southern history, the book tries to present the his toriography of this region in detail. Most of the scholars who contributed to the book began working on their articles in 1961. In addition to Dr. Grant ham and Dr. Wall, the contrib utors include Hugh F. Rankin of Tulane, Charles G. Sellers, Jr. of the University of Cali fornia at Berkeley, Ernest M. Lander, Jr. of Clemson Uni versity, Malcolm C. McMillan of Auburn, Edwin A. Miles of the University of Houston, James C. Bonner of the Wom an's College of Georgia. Mary Elizabeth Massey of Winthrop College, John G. Barrett of Virginia Military In stitute. Vernon L. Wharton, late of the University of South western Louisiana, Paul M. Gaston, University of Virgin ia. George B. Tindall of UNC at Chapel Hill, .Allen J. Going of the University of Houston and Horace H. Cunningham of the University of Georgia also wrote essays. Charles E. Cauthen, late of Wofford College, began an ar ticle before his death and it was completed by Lewis P. Jones, also of Wofford and is included. A bibliography of Dr. Green's works is in the book and was compiled by J. Isaac Copeland of George Peabody College for Teachers. - v.... ( ! , -. ' DR. FLETCHER M. GREEN c
