The Smith's Largest College Newspaper Volume 74, Number 104 CHAPEL HILL, NORTH CAROLINA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 196G Founded February 23. 1893 Wat Ifotlg ml with Ed Freakley You're Putting Me On A recent poll at a major university, that isn't hindered by any bans, had some interesting results. According to the poll, one is practically unmanageable if he is honest or intelligent, if he thinks about any subject of worth for longer than four minutes a month, if he thinks at all, or if he possesses any depth of character. Responses to the survey were classified according to sex and majors pursued in college. Of the science majors, 98 per cent stated they did not date at all, due to a malfunctioning left eye, as a result of three hour labs. Of the 2 per cent who did date, the ideal characteristic of the sought-for mate was his or ability to get them into medi cal school, and finance them while there. A large majority of the female elementary education ma jors expressed a dislike for any male wearing a skirt, or one who has longer than six months to go before graduation. But the most important characteristic for elementary edu cation majors was a male's ability to buy a six carat engage ment ring, or even a 1-16 of a carat engagement ring. The qualities most sought for by journalism majors was the ability to edit copy, and the fortitude to tolerate sudden hysteria. More than 43 per cent of the females said they started go ing steady at seven-and-a-half. This same percentage advocat ed marriage at 15 years of age. Their reasons varied. They included an uncontrollable desire to sleep until noon, lack of good shows on "Saturday Night at the Movies," bore dom with girlfriends, incapability of continuing to play the "Of course I have a boyfriend" role and the desire to show a grade school rival who really was the most popular. Tomorrow we will continue with more results from this revealing survey. Rub Your Stubble An Associated Press story says that scientists have found that if a girl comebd her hair 10,000 strokes a minute she could produce enough electricity to keep the spark plugs of an automobile engine firing. This raises the question as to whether the stubborn beards of beatniks might not be tapped to supply America's future power needs. On second thought it wouldn't work. They never comb their beards. He'd Rather Be An Orphan At the Committee For Free Inquiry meeting Thursday night several speakers had profound observations. Richard French, UNC graduate student, said that if Gov ernor Moore had been speaking he would have addressed the students as "My dear children." "I'd rather be an orphan," French said. Dr. David T. Lapkin, professor of economics, said he nev er ceased to marvel at "the undergraduate's ability to per ceive fraud and misrepresentation." "I am all too painfully aware of the number of times that defects in my logic or my assumptions have been un diplomatically called to my attention," Lapkin said. Lapkin went on to say that he did not see why the ap pearance of a Communist on campus implied the endorse ment of his view by the University any more than the ap pearance of Mao Tse Tung on a news telecast implied an en dorsement of Chinese Communism by the program's sponsor. Bob Powell, president of the debate team and SP nomi nee for student body president, said "We must convince the people of North Carolina that this University is worth pre serving, and that in fact, it is probably the most valuable asset this state has ever possessed." Justices :': By STEVE LACKEY DTH Staff Writer : (Fourth in a Series) .: The last resort for Chapel Hill mer : chants dealing with bad checks is to give & them to a Justice of the Peace for collection. According to one JP, J. Alvin Williams, the merchant brings the checks in, swears out a warrant for the student's arrest and jij leaves the rest to the JP. :: Tom Shetley, Book Exchange manager, :: reports that checks have been "bouncing :j: like basketballs." :: Banks have begun returning all checks :: which do not have the students' bank ac :i count numbers. :: Beginning Monday, any check written :j: must have an account number on it. : The JP gives the warrants to a deputy vi sheriff who visits the student to serve the i warrant. The student must then go to the : JP for trial. Some students have met rather unusual : circumstances in talking to the deputies. The following is a sworn and witnessed affidavit of one such student: j "I was watching television in the room next door to my room when someone open- ed the door and said, 'Is (name withheld) : here?' : "I said 'yes whereupon the door was 7s! fTT Get Bad SG Legislature Backs Invitation For Communist By JIM SMITH DTH Staff Writer The Student Legislature, in two hours of even-tempered debate, Thursday night pass ed a heavily amended reso lution supporting the Caro lina Forum's invitation to Dr. Herbert Aptheker to speak here. Student Party floor leader, Don Wilson, the author of the resolution, said it was time the Student Legislature stated its position on the Aptheker issue. Rep. Ed Wilson, UP floor leader, said he did not think the Legislature should act upon the resolution. However, he did vote for the amended res olution. "Let's do nothing else to enflame the situation," Ed Wilson urged. "If the situation continues, I can promise you the Speaker Ban issue will be taken up again in the next session of the General As sembly." Rep. Steve Salmony (UP) agreed with Rep. Ed Wilson. "The Carolina Forum made a mistake, although its inten tions may have been well meant," Salmony said. "Let's take time to think. "Marches and demonstra tions are not going to do one bit of good. We should prove we are worthy of being heard." Rep. Joe Chandler (SP) dis agreed. "If anyone has the right to make a statement, the Student Legislature, as the elected rep resentatives of the student body, does. We are doing a dangerous thing if we allow the groups like the Students for a Democratic Society to take all the spotlight on this issue." The major portion of debate of the resolution centered on a set of recommendations con cerning the establishing of a speaker policy. Rep. Don Wilson said the article was simply a sugges tion about establishing the policy and that the trustees want to know what responsi ble representatives of the stu dent body think. Rep. Salmony said that the Legislature should make a gen eral statement of its position, but that the speaker policy suggestions were too specific and not relevant to the issue. The legislature then delet ed the speaker policy article. The remainder of the debate consisted of rewording the orig inal resolution .One amend ment asked that a copy be sent to Jesse Helms, the WRAL-TV editorialist. The end-product, a heavily watered-down form of the orig inal resolution, passed the Legislature unanimously. Soloist Here Tuesday Soprano soloist Ruth Lake way will give a recital Tues day at 8 p.m. in Hill Hall. She is sponsored by the Tues day Evening Series. She will be accompanied on the piano by Clifton Matthews a faculty member of the school of music. Checks closed. I went outside the room and saw two men, one of whom had on a light jacket and a dark dress hat. This man said, 'I've got a warrant for your arrest for passing a bad check.' "I said, 'What for?' The man did not answer me, but began to read the paper he called a warrant. The warrant said that I did knowingly and willfully pass a worth less check to a business establishment known as the Chapel Hill Dairy Bar on some date in February. "I then told him that I had sufficient funds in the bank to cover any check I had written. "I asked, 'What have I got to do now?' He said I would have to go see the Justice of the Peace in Carrboro over the Center Drug Store before 4:30 tomorrow afternoon or he would be back for me. "At this point, the other man added, 'Yeah, we'll be back for you.' "I then asked if I could settle it with him. He said. 'Yes, but that I would have to pay $15.00, cost of court plus the check's amount. "I said, 'Never mind, I will go see the Justice of the Peace tomorrow.' "He said, 'Be sure that you do.

Representative William Webb (UP) said because of the pledge card's position on the matriculation forms, many students feel obligated to con tribute to the Y. Also, if a student fails to make good his pledge to contribute he can be kept from graduating. Rep. Sandy Hobgood (SP) said that the University ad ministration recognizes the YM-YWCA as an official func tion and two of the Y's sec retaries are paid by the Uni versity. Hobgood said the Y was al ready $2,000 in debt and if the Y were no longer permitted to Hours To Be Extended Gov. Moore appointed Frank M.

Not Mandatory Draft Test This WASHINGTON (AP) Se- lective Service college quali- fication tests will be given, throughout the nation on May 14, May 21 and June 3, it was announced yesterday. High school seniors gradu- ating this year and college students desiring to take the test must mail applications postmarked not later than April 23 to the Science Re search Associates of Chicago. A Selective Service spokes man said about one million draft registrants are expect ed to take the test, which is entirely optional for those who wish to have this type of cri teria available for considera- endorsement of the Publica tions Board in seeking the ed itorship of The Daily Tar Heel. He is majoring in re ligion.

"Selective Service strongly urges that the students do take it, as it provides one more bit of criteria the local board may consider in determ- ining which students are ap- parentlv more promisins than others," the spokesman said. Science Research Associates was awarded the contract yes terday to handle the test pro gram as the successful bidder among three. The test will consist of 150 different items and a regis trant will be permitted a max imum of three hours in which to complete the test. The test is designed to ex plore four areas: reading com prehension; verbal relations; arithmetic reasoning; and data interpretation. The spokesman said it was similar to a general aptitude test, with about 50 per cent relating to verbal and lin guistic skills and the other 50 per cent to quantitative rea soning. He also said the test has been so constructed as not to give any special advantage to any type of major over anoth er courses the students are pursuing. The formal announcement by Selective Service will be made available before April 1 to be distributed and posted ,in colleges and universities, post offices and other public buildings and local draft boards throughout the country. A registrant considering tak ing the test will be able to get from local draft board an explanation bulletin and a form to mail to Science Re-" search Associates. Science Research, in turn, will tell the registrant when and where to report to take the test. There will be approximately 200 locations throughout the United States, Hawaii, Alas ka, Puerto Rico and the Ca nal Zone. A student will take the test only once. It will be available to both undergraduate and graduate students already in institutions of higher educa tion as well as to high school graduates of this year who are registrants and desire to take the test. Pub Board Passes Two The Publications Board en dorsed two of the four candi dates running for the editor ship of The Daily Tar Heel. The board gave no reason why the other two were not endorsed. Receiving the board's en dorsement were Fred W. Thomas and Ray P. Linville. Alan Banov and Howard Ge beaux did not get an endorse ment. In a statement to The Daily Tar Heel. Hugh Blackwell, chairman of the board, said, "In order to determine wheth er a prospective candidate for the editorship of the DTH sha1' receive the endorsement of the Publications Board, the board evaluates each individu al with respect to his: (1) Technical knowledge of the processes involved in pro ducing a daily newspaper such as The Daily Tar Heel, (2) Personal sense of responsibil ity, ethics and integrity, (3) Ability to obtain and main tain a competent staff and (4) Overall competence to oversee the production of a daily newspaper such as The Daily Tar Heel. "In determining whether an individual shall receive the en dorsement of the board, the board in no way considers the applicants personal political vies or allegiance. "The granting of its endorse ment simply represents the board's belief that any candi date receiving such endorse ment is capable of producing The Daily Tar Heel on a regu larly scheduled basis and with out "endangering its continued existence." Blackwell said the board will decide at its meeting Thurs day whether or not to make public the reasons Banov and Gebeaux were not endorsed. GLENN MAYS
