FEBRUARY 19. 1966 Founded February 23. 1893 Wht will Frank Graham Says Gag Serves No Useful GREENSBORO (AP) Dr. Frank P. Graham, a former president of the Consolidated University, said Friday speak er consorship on college cam puses does not serve a useful educational purpose. "Such a policy," Graham said, "overrates the meaning, values and powers of com munism or fascism in a free society," and "underrates the intelligence, loyalties and re sponsibilities of students and teachers in a free university." Graham's remarks, appar ently ainied at North Caro lina's amended Speaker Ban Law, came during the observ ance of the 75th anniversary of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. The law, passed by the 1963 General Assembly, prohibited Communists and 5th Amend ment pleaders from speaking on state-owned college cam puses. A special session of the General Assembly in Novem ber amended the law, return ing to the college trustees the power to decide who should and shouldn't speak on the campuses. Vote Is Slated On Amendment UNC students will vote Tues day on a proposed constitu tional amendment to elect the student body president and vice president on a single ticket, rather than on indi vidual tickets as in the past. The change in chairman of the elections board will have no effect on the vote. John Wilborne, of DKE, was named temporary chairman to re place Al Tyndall who resigned this week because of academ ic reasons. No permanent chairman was named because Student Legis- lature did not meet this week. It does not meet during Rush. If a majority of students with Ed Freakley There Is A Difference It is not very often that an aspiring journalist sits back and takes a couple of pot shots at the rest of the news media. However, this is one of those times when someone needs to point out a serious error. The newspapers, electronic medi end wire services of this statey re gu;lty of being irresponsible. News men say it is their duty to present all the news and to give it in perspec tive. All the stir tint Ins been created with the SDe?king invi tation to Commun'st Herbert Aptheker has received a tre mendous amount cf coverage throughout the state. Papers have assigned top reporters to cover this story in its entirety. The television cameras have ihot thousands of feet of film. In all fairness I think this University has been given a black eye by the press. Perhaps we deserve it in this case but th-t remains to be seen. Thursday the Committee For Free Inquiry met, about 130 people, and made plans for a mass rally. On television they are calling it a demonstration, a word that does not have a worthy connt:on in the minds of many of us. It may be a demonstration when it occurs, but for now it is only a rally. There is a difference. But the most grievous error surrounding the matter is the lack of any coverage of the Carolina Blocd Drive. Here were all types of students giving their blood, and in a way showing their loyalty to this country and our beliefs. The Red Cross people said the only place they have seen as much enthusiasm was at Fort Bragg, home of the Green Berets. How much coverage did the press give to this event? Did they present the news and the people of this community in proper perspective? is this responsible journalism? No. It hurts people, when you get smacked in the teeth and have no way to swing back. Neither Is Viet Nam The DTH ran a story Thursday about things to do in Chapel Hill. The story missed a few places that should not be neg lected. There is the laundro-mat with its Coke machine and if you are lucky you might find and old magazine. Don't forget that a half hour in Jeff's can be entertaining. Of course there is the Grill and all those other places. If you get hard up you can watch a basketball game in Car michael. And if you are really at a loss for something to do try studying not very entertaining but then neither is Viet Nam. I A X 4. FRANK PORTER GRAHAM The present controversy over the law its first test since it was amended arose two weeks ago when the trus tees executive committee of the University denied Herbert Aptheker and Frank Wilkin son permission to speak on the Chapel Hill campus. "It is not a wise policy to build up the idea . . . that the Communist view is so powerful vote to approve the amend ment, the election for next year's student government of ficers scheduled for March 22 will be conducted under the amended constitution. The proposed amendment has been endorsed by a ma jority of student government officers, including both Presi dent Paul Dickson and Vice President Britt Gordon. It passed Student Legislature by the 2-3 vote necessary to pre sent it to the student body. The two immediate past- presidents of the student body, Bob Spearman and Mike Lawler have announced their support for the amendment. II il ?rmn' i i ipn t j n 1 1 HI Purpose that is will outweigh all other views persented in the univer sity community," Graham said. Graham, who is now a United Nations mediator, said, "In Chapel Hill for example, the present storm center, there are hundreds of teach ers who are both anti-Communist and anti-Fascist, and . . . over 12,000 anti-Communist and anti-Fascist students." The former U. S. Senator said, "a policy for the censor ship of ideas in the American free market of ideas would not serve a real democratic edu cational purpose." Graham said those who ask university leaders to ac cept a policy they believe is wrong "for the sake of gain ing the world are asking all out state colleges and univer sities to sell their souls, with the result in the long run be ing they lose both their souls and the world." North Carolina, Graham said, "must not be the only state which prohibits open for ums in violation of the Bill of Rights." TV Panel Queries By GLENN L. MAYS DTH Staff Writer Student Body President Paul Dickson and Bob Powell, chairman of the Student Gov ernment State Affairs Com mittee, were on television yes terday to explain the position of the UNC students in con nection with the Herbert Ap theker decision. Dickson and Powell were questioned by three newsmen for 30 minutes on the program "Campus Issues." Bob Morse of WSOC-TV of Charlotte, Gibson Prather, managing editor of the Fay etteville Observer, and Perry Young of the Raleigh News & Observer, made up the panel of newsmen. The questions centered around the invitation of Ap theker and the decision of the UNC board of trustees. The program- had been ar ranged to present and explain fully the student position on the entire controversy, accord ing to Powell. On the program he told newsmen that the general opinion of students, citing the Daily Tar Heel poll and the opinion expressed in the recent student body meeting, is that Aptheker should be allowed to speak here. When asked what the stu dent government plans to do if Aptheker is not allowed to speak by the trustees, he said, "Until the trustees approve specific speaker regulations, it's impossible for us to make any definite plans. We have a great deal of faith that they will do what is in the best in terst of the University. I hope we are not disappointed." Powell said the student body politically could be classified as "moderately conservative." A newsman commented that if the students are relatively conservative, then why is not a great deal of opposition to letting Aptheker speak here. "The question of his right to speak," Powell said, "has not developed into a liberal conservative question. It is true, that some students don't Banov Alan Banov yesterday be came the first person to an nounce his candidacy for edi tor of The Daily Tar Heel. In a statement issued to the DTH, Banov, Assistant Press Secretary of Student Govern ment, asserted, "The first purpose of The Daily Tar Heel is to inform students primari ly of campus news, then of state, national and world news. "Secondly, the newspaper must challenge its readers to think about the important is sues on campus and around the world. Thirdly, it must pro vide interesting and entertain ing reading to whet students' imagination. The Daily Tar Heel in the past has been not only the fore most college newspaper in the South, but also a respected molder of campus opinion.

Photographer Jock Lauterer took the unusual shot. feel that his appearance would serve an educational purpose. But these students would be the first to attack Aptheker with questions if he were allowed to speak." Concerning Gov. Moore's in tervention into the Aptheker in vitation Dickson said, "To a certain extent it is political in terference with the education process. But we must keep in mind that Gov. Moore is chairman of the board of trus- tees. We, of course, have a difference of opinion with Gov. Moore on this issue but his position certainly entitles him to speak out in this matter." There were also comments concerning the argument that if the Communists are being fought in Viet Nam then why allow them a platform in North Carolina. Dickson commented, "From my 10 - month experience in Viet Nam, I'm convinced that we need to know more about communism in all of its forms if we are to effectively fight it." Powell added, "Our expen- ence with speakers like Dr Aptheker has proved that col- lege students can quickly see through the weaknesses of such a philosophy and can push a speaker like him into a corner with some intelligent questions." Dickson was asked if he thought college students will be misled by a communist speaker if one does speak on campus. "Absolutely not," Dickson said. "I have the utmost con fidence in the maturity and intellectual preception of to day's college students. And I can speak for them when I say we are not afraid to hear anyone." Powell said he felt the inter view was very thorough and adequately covered the con troversy and its effects. "Because there was no con clusion reached in the pro gram we think that people will take a more objective look at the situation and better un derstand our position here in To Run For Editor ALAN BANOV prestige and prominence."
