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.

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

is chairman of the student gov

lic relations campaign this
year to improve the image of
the university.

could determine whether it
should expand to downtown.
When asked exactly what

Teddy O'Toole, a student le

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

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

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,

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 result of this approach
is that energy which should

want to begin with.

Shetley says that although

Shetley does not turn

feels that the University can

He also said that most bad

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

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

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-

school filled in for him. He
cited various other attempts
to thwart freedom of speech.

it acts as collective lender for

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.

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.
