Li jc i ry tox 370 Beal iii ))(H.k Tic South's Largest College Xenspapcr Volume 74, Number 75 Former Prof Claims UNC 'Indoctrinates ' By DAVID ROTI I.MAN DTI I Staff Writer A UNC professor, once hired by an Alabama governor to study the "race p r o b 1 e m," claims students here must sub mit to "racial indoctrination." Dr. W. C. George, former head of the Department of Anatomy here, says UNC "has gone into the propaganda business. "It is using textbooks that have no scientific basis of truth." George, whose writings are widely quoted by segregation ists, singled out Politics US for special criticism. The book, which came un- der fire during the Speaker Ban hearings, is written by UNC professors Andrew Scott and Earle Wallace and is used in Political Science 41 classes. George said freshmen talk ing Modern Civilization have been "indoctrinated." He complained that Contem porary Social Problems, used in Sociology 52, should not say that racists consider one race "superior." "You can't scientifically de fine superiority," George said. "I cannot say that an oyster is inferior to man without spec ifying what 'superior' means. "My objection to what goes on in this university is that only those facts are brought to light that support integration," he declared. He accused the Carolina Forum of largely ignoring "conservative views on race. Seldom, if ever, is a man in vited here to speak who really gives thoughtful opposition to integration." George suggested that DTH reporters are "brain-washed." The histology specialist said integrationist views had "de stroyed our honor system." He said he had heard that ivith Ed Freakley You're A Sport, Miss Shaffer Arrived in the newsroom this afternoon to find a letter from one Miss Windborne Shaffer who was a bit distraught over criticism of cheerleaders in yes terday's column. Miss Shaffer is a cheerleader. She writes that she overheard a young man in "Blue Heaven" (Bob Quincy's, sports information di rector, name for Carmichael Auditorium) Tuesday saying that he wished people would quit worrying about the Duke game and worry about Wake Forest. "You have to take each game as it comes or you'll start losing the easy ones," Miss Shaffer writes. Well to tell you the truth, I'm not real worried about the Duke game. Those Tar Heels are going out on that floor today and play basketball the best way they know how, and that's pretty good. You, Miss Shaffer, said take one game at a time. Well Carolina Style didn't say anything about the Duke game until yesterday. The Wake game was Wed nesday night, so I suppose we are taking them one at a time as you suggest. You say the cheerleaders went to Wake and yelled their "hearts out for the Tar Heels." Wonderful. But now I lose your line of thought. You say, "We've had pep rallies before with a total of 50 people. Don't you think the team would feel kinda bad if we asked them to come to a pep rally when no one else comes." Why, yes, Miss Shaffer, I do think they would feel bad. However, you are forgetting a couple of things. The 50 people you talk about turning out for a pep rallie wasn't that during the football season? As I re member, it was a very cold night and an equally cold season. You haven't tried having a pep rally for the bas ketball team. They are winning. And besides, isn't it your job as a cheerleader to instill spirit in the stu dents and get them to turn out for such events? You might at least give it a try. "Maybe you can mention in your column today that one player said he wished the crowd would veil all the time today, even when Dook has the ball. We want noise the whole game," Miss Shaffer says ,iiiIfcth,n? T ?n be reasonably assured that there will be plenty of noise down in "Blue Heaven" to morrow. You're a good sport Miss Shaffer. Tell you what 1 11 give you Duke and eight points. "more students are cheating nowadays." George insisted that allowing Negroes to live with whites in dormitories might lead to "in terbreeding." The University last year be gan assigning male students to housing without regard to race. Asked if he opposed the Speaker Ban in its original form, George replied: "That's yollow journalism." George Likes Local Citizen's g-t TT 1 IOUHCll tl6ciCl Dr. W. C. George, the segre gationist professor who says you're being indoctrinated in your classes, is a 77-year-old man with a stooped posture and a habit of nervously scratching his balding head. He insists he is not connect ed with the Ku Klux Klan or similar organizations, though he "admires" a leader of the Durham County C i t i z e n s' Council. George claims he has "many Negro friends. I like many of them better than some white people." The professor spoke very slowly during a recent inter view, for he feels he is fre quently misquoted by the press. Sometimes, however, an oc casional "nigger" slipped through. George generally employed the word to describe Negroes whose actions he dislikes. He said the Negroes them selves use "nigger" at times.

But you can bet none of the sell-out crowd of 8,500 will be 4 sleeping when the 2 p.m. tap-off rolls around. The Duke Blue Devils, rank ed number one in the" nation, have everything to lose against a Tar Heel club willing and capable to turn the trick. Everything points to an of fensive onslaught by both clubs. Both teams are averag ing over 85 points per game. The Blue Devils lead the offen sive show in the ACC averag ing 89.9 points per game. Close behind are the Tar Heels with an average of 86 points a game. Duke has hit the century mark three times this season, with their top output being the 112 points scored against Vir Committee To Start Setting Standards The advisory committee to recommend a replacement for Chancellor Paul F. Sharp will hold its first meeting this morning at 9:30 President Wil liam C. Friday said yesterday. "The committee will develop its own criterion," Friday said. "I have asked them to meet as often as possible so we can begin screening candidates. We want to proceed as rapidly as sound reason permits in se lecting a nominee." Friday would not comment on whether emphasis on find ing a replacement would be placed at UNC or out of state. "My comment might influ ence the committee," he said. "I've been through this proc ess about seven times. . .an independent group works best." Friday said his new advisory committee was selected from representative segments of the University. "Part of the com mittee selections involve areas not represented before." He hopes a replacement can be found by the end of the school year. Aycock submitted his resig nation in July, 1963. A succes sor was not approved by the board of trustees until June, 1964. Dr. J. Carlyle Sitterson has been named acting chancellor by President Friday. He will take office on Feb. 16.

The encounter should clear some of the traffic for the bas ketball lead in the ACC. Both Duke and UNC, with identical conference marks of 2-1, are tied for the top spot with South Carolina and N. C. State. The Blue Devils hold the edge in the over-all department winning ten of their 11 games. Duke victories include a double-header sweep of defending national champ UCLA and a singleton over strong Michi gan. The Tar Heels on the other hand can claim victories over Ohio State, Utah, Florida, and Florida State in their 9-3 record. Duke lost to South Carolina for their only setback. UNC fell to Clemson, Vanderbilt, and West Virginia. The Tar Heels have yet to lose in spac ious new Carmichael Auditor ium in four games. UNC Coach Dean Smith re gards the game as an "excel lent opportunity for his club." "We are really looking for ward to the game," he said. 'We consider it quite a com- U pliment to play the number one team in the nation. "Duke has had some fine teams in recent years, but this is the first time they have been ranked so highly. "They will have three boys Jack Marin, Steve Vacen dak, and Bob Verga who are potential All-Americans," he continued. "Usually when a club is ranked as high as Duke, at least one from the team will receive that honor." Blue Devil board strength seems to be the big problem at the moment. "Board strentth is the Duke strong point in a year when that seems to be our weakest area," said Smith. "Hustle and determination will have to pay off." Newscaster Quits W? AT 6 Voluntarily N r-L U11U1U1I11 Peter B. Young, WRAL-TV newscaster who spoke here recently on the Ku Klux Klan, has left his job. Bill Armstrong, WRAL-TV news director, said Young quit "voluntarily. He spent a week in the hos pital for various ailments," Armstrong said. "He was not coerced. It was more for rest and check-ups than anything else. "He'll be going home to his parents. We're very sorry to a job in Washington." "Pete was working pretty hard on his regular work here," said another WRAL newsman. "There's nothing serious." Another employee described Young as "a very likeable person." 8, 1966 ix Page Tar Passes By JOHN GREENB ACKER DTH Staff Writer Students will find a six-page edition of the Daily Tar Heel under their door every day of its publication next semester. Nearly $10,000 in Student Government funds was appro priated by Student Legislature Thursday night for the DTH expansion, the first major change in the paper's size in 37 years. Part of the funds will be used to hire five additional full-time staff members, who will in crease coverage of campus news and sports activities. The appropriation bill, writ ten and introduced by Hugh Blackwell (SP) after consulta tion with the DTH staff, pass Student Leaders Attack Book Ex. Fourteen members of the Visiting Committee of the UNC Board of Trustees heard pro posals by Student Government officials yesterday for the es tablishment of a joint student-faculty-administration commit tee to govern the policies of the Book Exchange. A nine-page report attacking current Book Exchange poli cies and proposing the new committee was presented to the group of trustees by a six man student delegation head ed by Student Body President Paul Dickson. The report attacked the high price of books at the exchange, which is operated by the Unir versity under direction of a business manager...,,. . The report said many stu dents bought books from retail stores in Durham to avoid high prices at the exchange. Book resale policies of the exchange were also attacked. "The student consensus in this area is that in some cases students are not paid enough for used books sold to the Book Exchange," it reads in part. The report cited complaints Does Anyone Want A Pretty Button? By GLENN MAYS Special to the DTH Two University of North Car olina freshmen are benefiting financially from an idea they picked up a year ago while they were attending prep school. John Blair and John Callan have been selling "Go To HeU Dook" button for about a week and over a third of their supply has already been sold. Blair, of Pittsboro, and Cal lan of Manhasset, Long Is land, were attending Choate Academy in Wallingford, Conn., when the idea oc curred. "Beat Dearfield" buttons were made there for Choate's big rival game, Callan said. "It stirred up a lot of spirit there and the press club made some money too," Callan add ed. Blair and Callan had plan ned to sell the buttons for the Duke-Carolina football game but they were unable to get them made in time so they decided to get them for the Duke - Carolina basketball ' game. "We've only been trying to sell them for about a week," Blair said, ,;and that ws lust in our spare time." Late Fri day afternoon, the two had sold nearly 400 of the 1,000 buttons at 50 cents each. "We wanted to make some spending money and build school spirit for the game at the same time," Callan said. And the idea is apparently working. Blair and Callan have used their sales pitch on a "lot" of students. They even sold one to a Duke student be cause "he thought the buttons were pretty funny," Blair said. The two freshmen said they plan for plenty of sales today before game time. But if all of the buttons aren't sold, they plan to sell them; for he next Duke - Carolina game. Legislature ed SL without objection in a voice vote. DTH Editor Ernie McCrary hailed the bill yesterday as "a progressive and construc tive program which will allow the DTH to serve the student body better. "Legislature gave us the money," he said, "and now its up to us to prove it won't be wasted. "Only students who have worked for the Tar Heel can appreciate how much more work this will involve," he said, "and I thank my staff for its willingness to take on the job." "There is a definite need for additional news space in the paper," Blackwell told the body. by students and faculty over the services offered at the ex change. "Ordering procedures in the campus stores are not effec tive and are not adequately publicized," the report reads. It also attacked a shortage of standard textbooks. The report, prepared by members of the Cooperative Committee of Student Govern ment, criticied University ad ministrators who allegedly withheld information about the exchange's operation. "This resistance mainly took the form of an unwillingness on the part of administrative officers to provide specific re quested information and to dis cuss problems in the campus stores system." Committee Chairman Mike Shoaf read the report to the Trustees, and cited results of a student opinion poll which bore out the committee's The poll showed that 89 per cent of the students question ed supported the ideas of a student operated store. "We don't have any other business ventures in mind right now," Callan said, "but we'll probably think of one before too long. We have done pretty well with this one, so why not?" Sitterson Wants To Keep Carolina's Standards High By BRYANT WILLIAMS Special To The DTH "We must not and will not loose our position as an aca demic leader," said Dr. J. Carlyle Sitterson, now vice chancellor of the University. Sitterson was recently named acting chancellor effec tive upon Chancellor Paul F. Sharp's resignation Feb. 16. "Throughout history UNC has stood for the highest intellec tual achievement. As long as I have anything to do with it, the quality of education at Carolina will not go down," Sitterson said. He believes the main factor in maintaining high standards is "regulation of our growth so we can maintain a superior faculty. For instance, last year we added 1100 new students roughly the enrollment of Davidson College. In effect we had to hire a faculty as large as theirs in on year, but we did it and we did it well." The Kenan Professor of his tory has refused to quit teach ing regardless of the adminis trative responsibilities." I've met mdxiy students through teaching and I'm looking for ward to knowing more this spring. I love teaching." Asked the reason for the heavy rate in administrative c hang eo vers in the Consolidat ed University Sitterson said "the University lives in a gold fish bowL Because a public institution is subject to the en tire community, adverse pub Founded February 23, 1893. Heel "Advertising takes priority over news space in the Tar Heel because ads constitute half the funds for the DTH budget," he said. "The only time the DTH pub lishes a six-page paper now," Blackwell said, "is when there is need for additional space for advertising." He told the legislature that the appropriation would pro vide for a six-page paper next semester only, and that the ex panded publication would be undergoing a trial period. Terming passage of the bill "a wise step on the part of Student Government," Black well warned legislators to dis regard criticism of the DTH which was based on individual tastes. Blackwell was questioned by several legislators about the bill's financing, but debate was cut short after Don Carson (IND) successfully moved to come immediately to a vote on the issue. Steve Hockfield (SP) rose after the bill's passage to crit icize the practice of cutting-off debate on an important issue before some members of the body had all their questions answered. "This appropriation com prises roughly one eighth of the current General Surplus of stu dent funds," Hockfield said. "I think we could take some more time out to discuss it." Another bill appropriating $3,000 to the UNC Men's Glee Club for a trip to Europe was passed without objection. The bill, introduced by Mir iam Dorsey (SP), was cut by nearly $2,000 in the SL Fi nance Committee. Committee members discov ered other funds appropriated previously to the club which would help cover costs of the trip, according to Miss Dorsey. A bill transferring previous ly appropriated funds to the Carolina Forum's travel ac count, was defeated after Blackwell objected to its im mediate consideration. Blackwell urged that all im portant bills be sent through committee before their consid eration on the SL floor. An appropriation bill for the Association for Economics and Business Adminitration was also passed. SL Speaker Pro Tern and Judicial Committee Chairman Jim Little (SP) announced that he would resign from his SL offices. He is expected to submit his formal resignation from legis lature at the next session. The three-year SL veteran ' cited other pressing obligations as his reason for resigning. Little recently assumed the chairmanship of the Student Party. licity such as the Speaker Ban can put unimaginable pres sures on administrators. This could be remedied partly through greater public under standing and support." The 1931 UNC graduate com mented on the changes he's seen in the University: "The faculty has improved tremendously. A professor's position is more desirable than before. "Student population is in creasing at a fantastic rate. It's our job to integrate new students into the academic community so they will be come better students. Students today seem to question things a great deal more than be fore. This is good, but it ag gravates some problems," he said. "The administration must be particular in its choice of people. We are handicapped because there is not an avail able supply of able leaders who wani to take an adminis trative position. There are ad ministrative positions all over the United States which are unfilled." Sitterson wants to see "more and better facilities for sports' because they are such an im portant part of life. The sports program has improved, espe cially in the intramural pro gram. UNC was a pioneer in intramurals. I like to see us win ... we should play with the goal of winning, but we cannot always expect to win."
