K V?t i1 Forum Member Hits Nicholson On Invitation DTH Poll Shows Students Divided Indents W rite The Line Is Drawn The people in Raleigh and a handfull of conservatives on. this campus have said that only radicals, irrational young peo pie they call them, are carrying Aptheker's torch and that they are just trying to heat up controversy. To some extent, at least in the beginning, they were cor rect. But now the issue is not Aptheker, it is not SDS-it is the right of free speech which belongs to every American, black, white, red or redneck. People are beginning to show their colors and no longer can anyone claim that it is only the radicals. There could have been a better time and I feel that this issue was first brought forward for the sake of controversy. But that doesn't matter now. The line has been drawn and you are simply in favor of holding on to your right or you are willing to let some small-minded people take that right away from you. Mark Ethridge is not a radical, though he is certainly not a conservative. He is a man for whom I hold the highest respect. He says we are being denied and he is so right. Mark Ethridge is a native of Mississippi. He has worked In the South for 50 years. Those years have taught him a great deal and we are fortunate that he is unselfishly sharing them with us. He said he will not leave the University over this issue But what if he did? Some have asked why should we blow this issue up? Look what might happen to the University, they say. The Legislature could retaliate in many ways. To hell with the State Legislature if there is the slightest chance we would lose men like Mark Ethridge. Friday Top President lit this week's issue of Time William C. Friday, president of the Consolidated University, is listed as one of the 14 top university presidents in the United States. Time says today's university president "commands the vast expertise of his institution and knows how to organize intel lect. As a fast-changing society increasingly values these qual ities, the influence of the president's is soaring. They have be come a kind of fifth estate, half educators and half national policymakers." Of Friday, Time says: "An efficient organizer, he has been president of the South' s best university for ten years, has pipe lines to resources of all the region's leading schools. A majority of UNC students plan to join the newly-formed Committee For Free Inquiry, according to a DTH survey taken yestrday. The Committee For Free Inquiry was formed Tuesday night by more than 350 stu dents who opposed the deci sion of the executive commit tee of the board of trustees to speak here. One hundred fourteen stu dents indicated that they plan ned to join the movement, 71 said they didn't plan to join and 42 were undecided. Comments include: Eric Van Loon; Nash ville, Term. "A true uni versity can exist only if it has the right of free inquiry and can look at any idea unhin dered and judge it on its mer its." Steve Maddox, Elizabeth City "I'm for Aptheker be ing allowed to speak here, but I'm against demonstrations. Right now they would hurt the University more than they would help." Russ Field; Wyoming, Del. "The right to be ex posed to a diversity of opin ions is essential to the main tenance of academic freedom in the University community." Phil Adams, High Point "The only reason I can see i, the Committee was formed is because of Aptheker. If I find out differently, I'll change my mind." Fred Kesler, Sanford "Alhough I agree with what they stand for, I don't think I will join them." Dan Welch, Jacksonville, N. C. "I'll join. Maybe we can make the trustees aware of the fact that we are not satisfied. I will not participate in any violence, however." A four - member steering committee is appoined to in vite the board of trustees and Governor Moore to explain the reasons for their decision to the student body here Feb. 28. The steering committee con sists of Student Body Presi dent Paul Dickson, SDS Vice Chairman Gary Waller, Po litical Science Instructor Sid Waldman, an English grad student Dave Gullette. Bob Harris Lynd Won't Come If Aptheker Can't By DAVID ROTHMAN DTH Staff Writer Yale Professor Staughton Lynd has turned down the Caro lina Forum's invitation to speak here "until the University makes it clear Dr. Aptheker is welcome." Lynd, unlike Aptheker, had not been barred by the Board of Trustees from speaking on campus. "I am turning down the invitation on constitutional grounds (free speech guarantees in the First Amendment)," he told The Daily Tar Heel by telephone when contaced at his home in New Haven,- Conn. "Just last year," he said, "the state legislature moved in the direction of rescinding control over who speaks at UNC." He referred to the Britt Amendment. The Dying Village: Part Three Evicted Students Speak By BOB HARRIS DTH Staff Writer Who are the inhabitants of the box-like wooden structures of shrinking Victory Village? Most of them have two things in common they have financial difficulties and they like Victory Village life. There are 96 undergraduates and 156 graduate students. Eighteen are foreign students and 54 are in professional schools law, medicine, dentistry and pharmacy. "I don't believe there is a finer group of people anywhere than those living in Victory Village," UNC Housing Director James E. Wadsworth said. "People value the friendships formed there. Without local government, they have handled their own problems." Campus Security Chief Arthur J. Beau mont echoes this sentiment. "Married students are more serious to day," he said. "We have much less trouble with the residents of Victory Village than with the same number of students in a resi dence hall or the same number of people anywhere for that matter." Thirteen units are scheduled to be closed down in June. Six more are on the tentative : list. Families whose homes are being closed : are first on the priority list for comparable apartments. Here are some reactions of the students i being forced to leave. Not one of them i wantd to move out of the Village, j George H. Tulloch, senior, Delmar, N. Y. "I just moved Jan. 1 and I got a letter Jan. 15 telling me that I was going to have to move. My wife and I both work 40 hours a week and one of us could quit if we could stay here or could get a comparably priced apartment. The University is not doing us a favor by offering those brick apartments. They are no cheaper than outside housing, and they have more restrictions." John A. Gilreath, graduate, physics "We couldn't find any place we like as well. We feel this area is good for our two children. It's a pity it has to be torn down. We've made it into our own home. "My wife works now, so if we have to move out of the Village, we will probably have to borrow money to continue my edu cation. It would cost us $100 more a month to move elsewhere." Evan Hines, graduate, history, Norfolk, Va. "I'm bitter about being evicted. I've already borrowed money and now I'll probably have to borrow more. "I wonder if the University is going to do the same thing to these apartments as those closed down on Polk Street last year. They are still standing empty with students begging for housing." James Cabe, dental "I wouldn't expect the state or federal government to provide us housing, but so long as it is selfliquidat ing, why not build more pre-fabs? "Both my wife and I are in school. I'll be here several more years.

"I want very much to come to the UNC campus, but Ap theker must come also," he said. Charles F. Lambeth, presi dent of the North Carolina American Civil Librties Un ion, said his group hasn't yet decided whether to take legal action to enable Communist Aptheker to speak here. "I have not had a chance to review the trustees' dcision fully," Lambeth said, "but I am very disappointed he wasn't allowed to speak." Lambeth said the ACLU Board of Directors would meet soon to discuss the trustees' decision. Prof. Lewis Lipsitz of the Political Science Department did not resign after the trus tees' decision. He had threat ened to consider this at Mon day's meeting of the student body. "We don't intend to be rats running off a sinking ship," Lipsitz said, "but we don't in tend to go down with it. Dr. Nathaniel Rodman, as sociate professor of pathology who headed the group of 11 young faculty members which tried to influence the trustees' Aptheker decision, said he will not resign. "I love the University," he said, "I would rather stay here and fight than leave." Commenting on Aptheker's expectation that he would be allowed to speak here, Rod man declared: "His prediction shows that he just doesn't com prehend the political situation in North Carolina."

"Since I had already sent out the letters, when I return ed in the fall, I called a meet ing where I announced speak ers we definitly had commit ted. The list of invitations that had been sent out was passed around the table. "I don't think that every body at the meeting took the time to look at this list. "King told the DTH he at tended the meeting. "King has not offered one constructive suggestion con cerning speakers," Nicholson said. "He has never made any complaint of the number of meetings which have been held. "I assume that Aptheker may be the reason. "I think that by the adminis trative nature of the Forum that the Forum's past chair man, like John Ulf elder, Hen ry Mayer, and Joel Fleishman will admit that it's a very dic tatorial jol) not by choice but by administrative set-up."
