Blood Drive Only 200 students have sign ed op in Y-Coart to give blood Wednesday. Nine hundred do non are needed. Volume 74, No. 91 SDS, Carolina Forum At Odds Two Carolina student organ izations were at odds here today as George Nicholson, chairman of the Carolina Forum attack ed the Students for a Demo cratic Society. Nicholson labeled the SDS "notorious." He called their invitation to Communist Her bert Aptheker, "ill-timed, i 1 1 . planned and for the sole pur pose of sensationalism." He called some of the state ments made by SDS represen tatives the "absolute epitome of irresponsibility and of polit ical naivete." Nicholson added that the Carolina Forum also joined in the invitation to Aptheker "only in support of a principle" of free speech and open forum. Being in favor of Aptheker or any other extremist speaking does not mean support of the SDS by the Carolina Forum or ganization, Nicholson declared. Derogating again the SDS, Nicholson said, 'We have ser ious reservations about some of their basic motivations in the entire matter." The Carolina Forum's chief added, "We have confidence in the Board of Trustees and in Governor Moore. We feel that the decision reached by the executive committee was with Ed Freakley High Hopes For Academic Freedom A student by the name of Bryden Manning sends us the following songs and we reprint them in the hope that you will all enjoy them. "Since all movements must, by definition, have protest songs, the following two are offered in connection with the recent trustee decision": The Right To Speak (To be sung to the tune of "Rebel Soldier") We all know that our government Is a democracy; We all know that it guarantees That everybody's free, It guarantees the right to speak And even disagree As long as it is not with me Said the big trustee. WTe only said two men can't speak And that is not a horde; To show good faith we give you Welch As a due reward, You are adults as long as you Don't try to cut the cord; We will protect your little minds Said the trutee board. All invitations must be cleared A month or so before; We'll use our veto power And thus prevent a roar; We'll kill the controversy Behind a big closed door, Illusions are what matter Said the governor. We'll make this university Much freer than before; All invited speakers speak; How can you ask for more? You're free to hear just whom you wish Of that you can be sure, With just one stipulation That his name be Dan K. Moore. Academic Freedom (To be sung to the tune of "High Hopes") Once there was a little old ban, Got enforced by Governor Dan, Everyone knows that Dan can't Go enforcing a ban. (Refrain) Cause we've got Freedom, Academic freedom, We've got Amended Recinded Freedom, So now it's time to make a note For next time you vote, Just remenlber this sham, Oops there goes another trustee Ker-blam. Once there was a little old breach Of a right that's known as free speech. Everyone knows that speech can't Be subject to breach. Refrain. Once there was a little old group Jumping through a political hoop, Everyone knows a hoop can't Be held for this group. Refrain. Over Ban Issue one reflective of a desire for a ruling by the entire board of trustees, and we are confident that at their meeting on Feb ruary 28 they will adopt poli cies and procedures which will clarify the haze surrounding the present situation." Nicholson refused to be a part of a campus-wide rally here last Monday, although he was originally scheduled to be one of the speakers. "I thought the meeting was loaded in fa vor of the SDS," he said. "The two faculty members present were said to be representative of the faculty. I don't think the were. They had Prof. Joseph Straley and Lewis Lipsitz, both of them partisans of the SDS position. If they had wanted representative faculty opinion, they would have gotten some one like Prof. C. P. Spruill (Chairman of the Faculty and former Dean of the Faculty.)" Therefore Nicholson refused to participate. Nicholson said he was issuing his statement today in order to clarify the position of the Caro lina Forum, owing to the fact that "unfortunate interpreta tions" have been made of sev eral actions by student govern ment agencies. Nicholson said the Carolina i , - -----rn Forum's invitation to Yale Pro fessor Staughton Lynd was not associated with the Aptheker case. He also said invitations had been sent in October, 1965, to Pete Vassilev, Bulgarian cultural affairs representative in Washington, and also to Frank J .Donner, a New York lawyer, and Fulton Lewis III, the GOP teen-age division di rector. The idea was to plan a forum discussion, with all sides of issues represented. "We are fully convinced Gov ernor Moore and the Board of Trustees are sincerely dedi cated to a free university as evidenced by their successful effort last fall" in getting rid of the Speaker Ban Law, said Nicholson. Nicholson's attack upon the SDS is the latest in a series of developments which began when the SDS invited Aptheker to speak in Chapel Hill March 9. Last week the chairman of the SDS, James McCorkle of Swarthmore, Pa. resigned, af ter making a blast at Governor Moore. Pepper To Be First Donor Sonny Pepper, co-chairman of the UNC blood drive sched uled for next week, said he will be the first to give blood in the two-day collection. "I've never given blood be fore," Pepper said, "but I'm going to give some Wednes day." A quota of 600 pints has been set for the drive. About 200 persons have sign ed up to give blood on the sign up sheets in Y-Court. Pepper said about 900 prospective don ors will probably be needed to get the quota. The co-chairman said mem bers of the NROTC and AF ROTC are planning to give blood but have not signed up. He said several other service groups have told him the mem bers have not signed up but are planning to go together to give blood. Dr. Edward Hedgpeth, facul ty advisor for the blood cam paign, said, "I think this is a very laudible undertaking by the student body and I hope the students will take part in it to the best of their ability. I en dorse the program 100 per cent," he said. The blood collected in the drive will be used strictly by the military. (Continued on Page 6) Legality May Be By ERNEST ROBL DTH Staff Writer Legal action against the state, planned early last year by all four Consolidated Uni versity student body presi dents, but stymied by the speaker ban amendment, may still be in the works, according to Student Body President Paul Dickson. Dickson confirmed yesterday that the legal action had been planned last year. He did not rule out the pos sibility of future court cases if the board of trustees denies requests for speaker appear ances under the now-amended speaker ban. A story appearing in the Win ston Salem Journal yesterday about these plans was sus stantially correct, Dickson said Student Government here had planned to invite two per sons coming under the original ban, and then take the case to court. Peter Vessilev, secretary for cultural affairs of the Legation of People's Republic of Bulgar ia, was invited for a solo ap pearance to speak here on "Art and Social Realism in a Communist Country." Frank J. Donner, attorney-at-law from New York City, the second person invited, was . scheduled to debate Fulton J. Lewis III, national director of the teen-age division of the Re publican National Committee. The invitations were made for late this month or early March. Dickson said the first invita tion made by the Forum for "educational purposes" was last March, immediately af ter his election to the student body presidency. Dickson took full responsibil ity for initiating the plan. The Smith's Largest CHAPEL HILL, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 11, Navy Plane Buzzes UNC, Salutes Unit A WF-2 "Willy Fudd" Navy radar airplane drew the atten tion of Carolina students yes terday morning shortly before 11:00 as it buzzed the UNC cam pus and dipped its wings to the Naval Armory. Since the plane flew over dur ing the changing of classes, most of the student body was able to view the show as the airplane soared low, circling the campus. The Chapel Hill police re ceived complaints from stu dents at Morrison Residence College that the plane was fly ing too close to the building. Authorities then contacted the Civil Air Patrol. The CAP tried to contact the airplane on its assigned radio frequency, but was unable to get an an swer. The Federal Aviation Ag ency office 2t Raleigh-Durham airport is presently looking into the incident. The "Willy Fudd" is equip ped with a large radar dome and is used for 'round-the-clock extended radar coverage. The airplane was possibly based at Norfolk, Virginia, and piloted by a Carolina graduate and former member of the Carolina Naval ROTC Unit. One conjecture is that the pi lot recently earned his wings and had with an ovewhelming desire to visit his alma mater. Rush Centers At Y Court Freshmen going through spring rush should pick up their invitations in Y-C ourt from 9 a.m. - 1 p.m. today and tomorrow. Bids may be picked up there next Friday. During rush cars will be leaving every 30 minutes from the Scuttlebut to the Zeta Beta Tau house. Injured Soph OK Thomas Carroll, 19 year old sophomore who was injured in a motorcycle - car collision Wednesday, is listed in fair con dition in the intensive care ward of Memorial hospital. He has a compound frac ture of the left leg. Of Ban Contested He said Student Government has no plans to extend any more invitations. They will wait until the board of trustees meet Feb. 28, before making any further de cisions. Dickson said the UNC ad ministration had not been in formed of the actions of the committee when the invitations were discussed. He said the presidents of the student bodies at the other three consolidated JLTniversity schools had helped to form the plans, but he refused to give out any additional names of either students or faculty mem bers. "There are some at this school and there are some at others," Dickson said, "but since I initiated this thing I don't want to jeopardize their positions." The presidents of the o t h e r student bodies are John Mitch ell, N. C. State; Nancy Baker, UNC-G; and Gus Psomadakis, UNC-C. Dickson said the administra tion had not been informed of the action because, if there were a court case against eith er the trustees, the administra tion, or the General Assembly, dealings with the administra tion might be construed as "conspiracy." Under the plans revealed by Dickson, each of the student governments would have brought speakers to their cam puses, but in case of refusal, all of them would have brought a joint suit against the state. Students for Democratic So ciety, the group which invited Communist Herbert Aptheker, had been aware of the student government plans, but had not told student government about (Continued on Pare 6) College Newspaper UNC Students To Hold Moore Defends Bannin Of Communist Speaker GOV. DAN The driver of the car, Jane Bruebaker, a student nurse at Watts hospital in Durham, has been charged with making an improper turn. She was traveling south on Manning Drive and turned in to the parking area of Morri son Residence College wh e n Carroll, traveling north on Manning collided with her. Damage to the car, a 1959 Ford, is estimate at $100. The motorcycle, a 1966 Suzuki, is a total loss, police said.

Morehead Price Hike Morehead Planetarium will The Dying Village: Part Four Villagers Want More Pre-Fabs By BOB HARRIS DTH Staff Writer "I'm sure there are doc tors, lawyers, teachers and other professionals that would be in other business es today were it not for Victory Village not only have they benefited, the state has also benefited." This is University Hous ing Director James E. Wad sworth describing UNC's "cheap housing" for mar ried students. "We think we have been able to keep students in school longer because they have been able to get cheap housing," Wadsworth con tinued. Many University officials feel cheap housing is no longer feasable even though it is more than self-liquidating. "It costs $10-$12,000 to provide housing for one married student and his fa mily," UNC Director of Planning Arthur N. Tuttle said. "For the same amount we can provide space for eight single stu dents in a residence hall. "New permanent housing will probably raise the rent on all existing units since all the money goes into one fund," he added. Tuttle is referring to new high-rise buildings. No Vic tory Village resident inter viewed wants these apartments. 1966 A ( f L rrs K. MOORE increase its rates for the first time since 1958 starting Mar. 1, according to director A. F. Jenzano. , . ! The new rates are 45 cents for students through the sixth grade, 65 cents for stu dents through the college lev el, and 90 cents for adults. Angels Wear Red The North Carolina Angel Flight have switched uniforms for the new semester. Instead of wearing the old blue ones every Thursday, they are now sporting red uniforms provid ed by the Fireside. The new officers for Angel Flight are; executive officer, Diane Gallimore; administra tive office, Betty Pemberton; assistant administrative offi cer, Beth Bandy; comptroll er, Connie Croom; informa tion services officer, Terry Verduin; and chaplain, Julia Knott. Most Village residents agree with George Tulloch, one of the students whose apartment is to be closed down: "The University is not do ing us a favor by offering those brick apartments. They are no cheaper than outside housing and they have more restrictions." Housing in Odum Village is now only a few dollars cheaper than comparable apartments in Glen Len nox. They will probably be no cheaper at all when con struction of new housing raises the rent on the old units. Every student moving in to married students housing is required to put up a da mage deposit and to sign a list of restrictions which in clude no pets, no firearms and storage regulations. Residents in Odum V i 1 lage are required to rent stoves and refrigerators for $7 month whether or not they have their own. The University has in cluded plans for additional permanent married student housing in the capital im provements budget for the 1967 General Assembly, but no pre-fabs are involved, according to University Bu siness Manager James A. Branch. "While the state supplies no money for housing, it must authorize plans for Mass Meeting JL RALEIGH (AP) Gov. Dan Moore Thursday re iterated his objection to Herbert Aptheker and Frank Wilkinson speaking at the University of North Caro lina and defended his action in speaking out against it. Moore said his opposition was "based on my per sonal conviction that their appearance would not clearly serve the advantages of education ..." "As chairman of the board of trustees, I felt it was my duty and my right to express my personal opinion on this controversy," said Moore in a state ment read at his news conference. The Committee For Free In- Clark Plans Counter attach A press conference has been called for 11 a.m. today in the main lounge of GM by Wilson Clark, president of the Carolina Conservative Club. Clark said the main issues to be discussed will be the an nouncement of a concentrated speaker program by the club, a policy statement on the issue of free speech and criticism of speaker policies of three established campus organiza tions. "We feel that the issue of free speech per se is not the most crucial matter in the cur rent situation," Clark said. "We will demonstrate the un derlying implications of the current controversy over Ap theker's invitation." The executive committe of the club has planned a "com prehensive" program of speak ers for the nxt three weeks, .Clark. said. ..... - - "We plan to bring a number of nationally known speakers to this campus. Each speaker is an expert in his field and we feel that this program will provide illumination on a num ber of these vital matters af fecting the University," Clark added. The speaker program will be called the "Free University Series." Clark said it is to be gins Sunday night at 8 p.m. in Memorial Hall with a spech by Ernest Van Den Haag, so ciologist and author of "Pas sion and Social Constraint." Van Den Haag will consider the implications of current is sues affecting the University, specifically, free speech. The speaker, a professor of sociol ogy at NYU, will discuss "Free Speech: What Does It Mean?" building housing. The fed eral government will loan money for such self-liquidating projects," Branch said. "There has been a tre mendous amount of build ing recently by private en terprise," Branch continu ed. 'These facts have to be taken into considera tion." According to Chapel Hill Carrboro City Planner Luc ian Faust, only 105 build ing permits were issued for new apartments in 1963 and the "population is keeping pace with the housing." University Director of Ac counting Victor Bowles said it would not be feasable to build more pre-fabs, be cause "space is at a pre mium." Some Village residents, like John A. Gilreath, a graduate Physics student wonder why more pre-fabs can't be built, and exist ing ones can't be moved ta other areas on University owned grounds, particular ly the Horace Williams Air port property. "They moved our pre-fab while we were in School at Clemson," Gilreath said, "and they were building brick apartments at the same time." "But," Bowles said, "if we build more pre-fabs now, the rent will be more than that of the old buildings be Founded February 23. 1893 Today quirey meets today at 12:30 in Gerrard Hall. The meeting is open to all students and faculty members. Letters that have been draft ed to send to Moore and the executive board of the UNC trustees Hill be presented at the meeting for approval. A permanent steering committee will also be set up. "I did not attempt to dictate to members of the executive committee" when it turned thumbs down on Aptheker and Wilkson, he said. Moore asserted that in the de cision of the UNC trustees ex ecutive committee to deny uni versity facilities to Aptheker and Wilkinson "there has been no attempt to censor free speech at the university, no political interference in aca demic affairs, and no attempt to dictate speaker policy at the university. "Any impression that there has been is erroneous, and sim ply distorts the issue invol ved," Moore added. The governor said, "It should be clearly understood that the speaker policy adopted by the trustees leaves the approval xr disapproval of each speaker under the law to the trustees, or to whomever the trustees may- designate. "One speaker may be ac cepted," Moore said. "Anoth er may be rejected." Under the speaker policy ap proved, each prospective speak er must be judged on four con ditions: "1. Frequency of this type of speaker on campus. "2. Appearance must clearly serve the advantages of edu cation. "3. When permission is grant ed on 'such rare occasions' reasonable and proper care must be exercised by the in stitution. "4. Campuses must not be exploited as convenient out lets of discord and strife." Moore pointed out that the executive committee met once but could not agree on the (Continued on Pare 6) cause of increased construc tion costs. "Anyway, moving the older buildings to a new lo cation would be impractical because we would have to' lay new foundations and make other provisions ne cessary to a housing de velopment." Village residents realize that the cost would be slightly higher, but they al so say it would be nowhere near the cost of new high rise apartments. The reactions of the stu dents being forced to va cate their pre-fabs is pret ty much summed up by dental student, James Cabe: "I wouldn't expect the state or federal govern ment to provide us housing, but so long as it is self liquidating, why not build more pre-fabs? No more pre-fabs will be built, University officials sity officials say, but ev ery official consulted em phasized that no more Vic tory Village structures would be torn dawn than were absolutely necessary to the construction of the construction of the health affairs complex. According to long range plans in Director of Plan ning Arthur N. Tuttie's of fice, that will eventually be all of them. . 2 T VY-
