Student Commission Has By STEVE LACKEY (Third in a Series) The Student Credit Com mission was formed by the student legislature in 1960 to curb bad check writing. The present Comission and those before it have done little to fulfill this aim. Specifically, the students on the commission this year have met only four times. Each meeting was dedicat ed to "defining the object ives of the commission," according to chairman Ralph Grosswald. The bill says that the commission should try to -maintain good relations be tween students and mer chants. It also provides that the commission collect bad checks from the merchants and try to contact the stu dent and secure payment. Wilson SP Nod dents living, studying and de veloping into respectable citi zens. "We have a lot to be proud of in Chapel Hill. Let's tell North Carolina about it," he said. Powell also cited thei resi dence college system, honor system, fraternities and soro rities as places of concern for student government. "In short," he said, "there are problems both old and new that our student government shall have to face this year. I am convinced that together, you and I are more than a match for the job." Powell is a Morehead Scho lar and is in the honors pro gram in political science. He is chairman of the student gov ernment state affairs commit tee, and has headed the pub lic relations campaign this year to improve the image of the university. He is also a member of the Men's Honor Council, Order of the Grail, head of the Ampote rothen Society, president of the UNC Debate Team and member of Chi Psi social fra ternity.

Chairman Grosswald said that he did not plan to get checks from merchants, but only from Lenoir Hall until the commission could determine whether it should expand to downtown. When asked exactly what the ommission did plan to do, Grosswald said that a downtown sale was being planned in which students would participate. Nowhere in the bill estab lishing the Commission is a clause authorizing such sal es. Dickson and Grosswald defended their position by stating that this was a ne cessary step towards stren gthening the bonds between merchants and students. CHAPEL HILL, O 'Toole Throws Hat In Ring For Student Body President By STEVE BENNETT DTH Staff Writer Teddy O'Toole, a student le gislator, announced yesterday he is seeking the nomination for president of the student office and plan to attend the first meeting Monday. Combo At Maverick Maverick House will hold a combo party tomorrow night from 8 to 12 in the Voodo Room. The Rogues Combo, backed up by the Dixie Cups, will be featured. Mavericks will be admitted free, but the admission charge for outsid ers will be $1 per couple. Ineligible Pledges Some students who pledged fraternities during the recent Rush have been found to be ineligible, according to Bob Kepner, assistant to the dean of men. Kepner also said a list of pledges will be issued some time next week. "Why Marry?" Dr. Harold G. McCurdy, a Kenan professor of Psycholo gy, spoke to the women of West Cobb Residence Hall Wednesday night on the topic of "Why Marry?" Dickson said that there is some hesitancy on the part of the Merchants Associa tion to turn checks over to a student group. Association President Doug Powell, says that be fore he would authorize any checks being given to t h e Commission he must be given a receipt and be as sured that some action would be taken. Grosswald said his com mission would meet next week to "decide whether we can handle this." The merchants themsel ves do not seem nearly so hesitant about the commis sion filling the role for w hich it was designed. Most merchants polled supported wholeheartedly the idea of a student collection plan. Commission member Champ Mitchell said he feels that the problem is not just the writing of the NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1966 body from the University par ty. O'Toole, a junior, said, "It is my belief that the president of the student body should adopt an approach to student government that seeks as its first objective the provision for the wants and problems of the student, if student government is to regain the effectiveness it enjoyed during Bob Spear man's administration. "This has been a year of crisis for the student govern ment in the sense that the gradual trend has been toward a professionalization of stud ent government that has be come a manifest detriment to the institution itself. The result is that student government is gradually moving away from the individual student." O'Toole is a junior major ing in English and Economics. He plans to enter law school after graduation and intends to go into corpoation law. Sonny Pepper, president of the IFC, announced Wednes day his candidacy for student body president on the UP tic ket. He will be opposing O'Toole for the nomination at the UP convention Monday night in Carroll Hail. O'Toole said, "An alienation from the individual student has become most apparent in the executive branch and in the philosophy adopted by the student party administration. "The president of the stu dent body and his advisors have continually asked the question, "What can we do to improve student government," rather than the real question, 'What can we do to improve Failed In Task checks by students it's the way they are handled by store owners. Mitchell, who is also on the Honor Council, said that the Commission should handle merchants' checks by trying to get in touch with the writer. The actual passing of a worthless check is an Hon or Council offense, but on ly a few cases of this type have been handled by the council so far this year. Mit chell said tha these students were punished in varying degrees, depending upon hether lying or forgery was involved in the case. The Book Exchange, rath er than going through the Comission, handles its own bad checks. Manager Tom Shetley says that of the "thousands of thousands" of dollars worth of checks he cashes - I & f TEDDY OTOOLE the welfare of the individual student." "The result of this approach is that energy which should have been channeled into the development of the Residence College System has been spent in attempting to make the se cretary of the student body an appointive position, a move which the students did not even want to begin with. O'Toole is a member of the Order of the Grail, Phi Eta Sigma Honorary Societv and participated in the Sopho more Honors program. He has been a member of the Student Legislature for two years. He has also been chairman of the Rules Com mittee, chairman of the Fresh man Class and Sophomore Class Talent shows, Men's Co ordinator of Orientation and delegate to the NSA national convention for two years. yearly, only a small per cent go bad. The Book Exchange main tains a list of students for whom it will not cash checks. Persons w ho h a v e written three bad checks all placed on the list. At pre sent it contains 120 anmes. Any trouble Shetley has with worthless checks is tak en to Hanes Hall where the students' grades or diploma is hold until payment is made. Shetley says that although around 100 checks bounce each week, almost all these are paid after the second notice is sent to the writer. Shetley does not turn checks in to the Justices of the Peace because he feels that the University can make the collections. He also said that most bad checks resulted from "sin cere errors," not purpose ful writing of the checks. 1,200 Pres. Friday Accepts Speaker Resolution Close to 1.200 people at tended last night's meeting of the Committee For Free In quiry and almost all of them participated in a quiet walk to the home of Consolidated Uni versity President William C. Friday. There, Friday and Chancellor J. Carlyle Sitter son were presented with the Committee's statement of prin ciple and policy on campus speakers. The statement was adopted unanimously in the three hour Memorial Hall urges the board of trustees to remember that the process of education advances as much, if not more, by the rejection of many alternative views, as it does by the acceptance of one view. It says that a policy of prior restraint can only call into question the intelligence and the ability of the students to act with good judgement. ,. , - . . "A policy of orior restraint places the reputation and fu- UIG v.mvcio.uouicdi In accepting the statement both Friday and Sitterson said they thanked the students for acting in a responsible and ma ture manner. "I want to express apprecia tion for the students' conduct in this matter. I will present their proposals to the trustees Mon day morning," Friday said. Sitterson told the throng of students standing in the cold night air beside Friday's home Gov. Moore Favors Loans To Help Needy Students RALEIGH (AP) An ex panded program to provide low cost loans to college stu dents was announced yester day by Gov. Dan Moore. The governor designated the State Education Assistance Authority as the guarantee agency in North Carolina for low interest loans under the Federal Higher Education Act. He said the administration of the program will be through the State Board of Higher Ed ucation. Moore told a large group of educators, bankers and others at a luncheon that the pro gram will allow almost any student to borrow up to $5,000 for undergraduate work or up to $7,500 for graduate work at low interest rates and with ample time provided to re pay loans. "This bold program com bines the cooperative efforts -of government with the genius of private initiative and per mits us to invest wisely in the lives and future of our chil dren," the governor declared. Moore explained that loans will be largely guaranteed by the State Assistance Authority and the money will actually be loand by the College Foun dation Inc., an organization formed by North Carolina Bankers to loan money to col lege students or some other financial institution. Moore said the government will pay all interest on t h e loans up to 6 per cent while students are in college and 3 per cent after they graduate. Repayment is not required to begin until nine months after graduation and there is an ad ditional three years1 defer ment if the student is in the armed forces, the Peace Corps or graduate school. Moore said "the federal gov ernment also will provide . 'seed' money to the state for a reserve to insure the loans. North Carolina's allocation of federal funds appropriated through June, 1967, is about one - half million dollars, and will insure $5 million in stu dent loans." Moore pointed out that any eligible financial institution may make student loans but the "College Foundation Inc. has been specifically named Rally For Free Bv ED FREAKLEY DTII Staff Writer that they should be proud and that their action "Identifies you with the very spirit that found ed this great University." Jefferson B. Fordham, dean of the University of Pennsyl vania Law School, the meet ing's principal speaker was an hour and a half late in arriv ing because of weather that interfered with his flight. Fordham, a 1926 graduate of C aid former president of aiuu wujr ucic, jjuuucu of any man to plead the fifth amendment. "The only satisfactory solu tion to this problem, in my opinion," Fordham said, "is outright repeal." Fordham, referring to the Ku Klux Klan, said North Carolina needed to worry more about right-wing groups than those of the left. He was greatly disappointed t a. bar in North Carolina to op- pose the speaker ban law. Fordham urged that the peo ple and the government of the state have confidence in the University community. "We must work for what we are for instead of what we are against," Fordham said in con- elusion. He received a standing avation. Before Fordham arrived Dan- iel Pellitt of the UNC law school filled in for him. He cited various other attempts to thwart freedom of speech. The first speaker of the meet ing was student body President as an eligible institution be cause it is an established non frofit student lending corpora tion." Moore said North Carolina is ahead of other states in getting the program under way because in the college foundation "it has an organi zation ready to proceed, since it acts as collective lender for 85 per cent of the banking in dustry in North Carolina." with Ed Freakley A Plea For Progress Progress is not, at the moment, our most important product here at UNC. We can stand a lot of improvement and we have some suggestions. What Carolina really needs is: About 6,439 more coeds to even things out. About 1,000 more coeds over the 6.433 so they will have ,to sweat getting a date once in awhile. Male and female coed dorms. You know that old song about "girls and boys together." A reasonable quota of crip courses. There aren't enough DA 30 cards to go around. A concluding episode to the "Fugitive." An arboretum that is a little less like Little Chicago and more like the Garden of Eden. A gym that is big enough to take the whole student body at one time. A 40 cent meal that you can eat more than once a week and still make classes the next day. One whole week of the DTH without anything by David Rothman in it. Three more basketball players like Lewis and Miller. One less football coach. And then you can add one more football coach. A permanent chancellor. A ban of the speaker ban and if you give us that we'll ban a certain restaurant (?) in the vicinity of the Post Office. A few more parking places or a lot fewer parking tickets. Another candidate to run for the editorship of The Daily Tar HeeL A few more ideas for Trivia to help fill this column. Like who was Captain Kangaroo's handyman? Mr. Greenjeans. Replacements for Bat Dean and Bobin. Founded February 23. 1893 Speech Paul Dickson. Dickson said the purpose of the fifth meeting of the Committee for Free In quiry was to present its views to the state, and especially to the Governor and the Board of Trustees. "We want to convince them that only through the open and critical examination of all al ternatives can the accumulated knowledge of society be ad vanced. We must convince the people of this state that the mime ui iunu vjimuid ur pends upon a broad education of its leaders. Dickson said. The best received speaker of the meeting was Richard French who composed the statement of principal that was adopted by the body. French, a graduate student in political science, who was born in Argentina, told the meeting that he felt political authority "has seen fit to in terfere with my school. Politi cal authority has seen fit to dictate to me what I shall or shaU not examine. He said what is happening here in the state is ridiculous. "It is intolerable! I cannot, I will not, put up with this silly nonsense!" "I am angry!" French said. "How can it hp lhat exaht mem in Raleigh, by fiat and decree, tell us what will 'serve the pur- poses of education,' over and above the expressed opposite views of the combined facul- ties, students, and administra- tors of the two leading univer sities in North Carolina and the South. What incredible con ceit! What gross conceit!" French ended his speech by asking the officials of the state to "re-adopt the Constitution. We ask that the first amend ment be observed and enforced in this state. Not very radical. For it is our impression that this question was resolved and decided back in 1776, and back in 1789," French said. Other speakers at the meet ing were David T. Lapkin, ec onomics professor here, and Bob Powell, president of the UNC debate team and Student Party nominee for president of the student body. : i: I f -
