The South' s Larger College Newspaper CHAPEL HILL, NORTH CAROLINA, TUESDAY, MARCH 1, 1966 Founded February 23. 18W Si ft 6 100 Plus IQ By BOB HARRIS DTH Staff Writer While most UNC stud ents are still applying for their summer jobs, Drick Heitman is reading "fish books." He already has a summer Job training porpoises. The UNC sophomore has to read to keep abreast of the latest developments in porpoise training because at least two of the "fish" have an IQ higher than some Carolina students over 100. Heitman first began working with porpoises last summer in Philadel phia's Aquarama, a large indoor aquarium which presents five shows daily. He plans to return there this summer. Heitman, a speech ma jor, originally worked as an announcer for Aquar ama. Gradually, he start ed working with the por poises. It was only then he realized how intelligent they really are. "Like stage perform ers," Heitman says, "the : porpoises pay close atten-: tion to their audience, i They perform according to the applause. A loud ap- : plause will bring a super- : ior performance. "They are also inclined toward practical Jokes. : When they see someone : with a camera, they de- : light in splashing him.

One Final Point A group of new protestors has emerged on campus. This group was marching in front of the library Saturday after noon with signs. i rvu The faction of demonstrators consisted of six lovely Cobb females. Their cause: protesting the Dewey DecimalSys tem used by Wilson Library. Sabieas Potted - Almost The most amazing thing about Sunday's performance by Sabieas in Memorial Hall was not his breathtaking mastery of the guitar, althought it in itself was amazing. Nor was it the fact that the audience roared for three en cores and three curtain calls. It wasn't even the last "surprise" Sabieas had for the happy crowd rock 'n' roll variations. It was the upside - down cement flower pot he used for a foot rest. Andy Myers it ' L Fish Keep Him On Toes jump at least twenty feet out of the water. "During the show, the porpoises do the twist, the ballet and various other dances. They are even rid den by female performers. "All this sounds danger ous, but there has never been a case where a por poise has harmed a hum an being. In fact, they will go out of their way to help humans. "In one of the acts at Aquarama, I have to drop from the ceiling into about 20 feet of water. Two por poises go swimming out and rescue me. 'Untrained propoises will also rescue other porpoises When aquarium custodi ans in Florida dropped some Porposises into a tank, one porpoise struck Astronauts Kitted In Jet Plane Crash From the Associated Press Two U. S. Astronauts, who trained recently at Morehead Planetarium, were killed yes terday when their jet plane crashed into the building hous ing their space capsule in St. Louis, Mo. Astronauts Elliot See, Jr., and Charles A. Bassett, II, were the primary crew of the planned Gemini 9 space flight set for late this spring. Bassett had trained here all his head against the side and was knocked uncon scious. "The other porpoises surrounded him and held out of the water until he regained consciousness to keep him from drown ing." Heitman, a Plymouth Meeting, Pa. native, first came to UNC the summer before his senior year in high school. He won an award as the outstanding male actor in a Carolina Junior Play makers performance at that time. Since coming to UNC he has served as head an nouncer for WTJNC radio, a job he no longer holds because getting ready the summer takes up all his spare time. day last Friday at the Plane tarium studying star recogni tion of what he would see in his Gemini 9 flight. See had been here during the past month doing a similar study, according to A. F. Jenzano, planetarium director. "I am personally grieved," Jenzano said," at the death of the two astronauts." The backup crew for the Gemini 9 flight, Air Force Lt. Col Thomas P. Stafford and Navy Lt. Cmdr. Eugene A. Cernan, landed their T38 sin gle engine supersonic trainer safely at St. Louis Municipal Airport minutes after the oth er plane crashed. The astronauts were flying to the McDonnell Aircraft Corp. plant here for space training in a space simulator machine when the plane car rying See and Bassett crashed in a light fog. McDonnell builds the Gemini spacecraft and Phantom jet fighter planes. The bodies were thrown from the wreckage after the plane glanced from the roof of Mc Donnell's space center and then exploded into flames on a nearby construction crew parking lot. The Gemini 9 space capsule was still in the building about 500 feet from the impact point. It was being readied for ship ment to Cape Kennedy in sev- eral weeks. Also in the build ing in the production line for jet fighters used in Viet Nam. Twelve persons working in a McDonnell engineering office were injured. None were thought to be hurt seriously. Some were knocked from their chairs when the plane hit the roof directly above them. One man suffered a broken ankle. It was not learned whether See, 38, or Bassett, 34, was pi loting the two - seat plane. Stafford, who rode Gemini 6 into space when it rendevous ed with Gemini 7 last Decem ber, was piloting the second plane. Student Centers Attempting To Fill Religious Vacuum By PEYTIE FEARRINGTON DTH Staff Writer Chapel Hill is bristling with new religious student centers. What goes on behind these expensive doors? Are these ex travaganzas serving their pur poses, and if so, what is it stu dents find here? To find the answers to these questions we tracked down the directors of the six major religious centers in town Catholic, Methodist, Presbyter ian, Baptist, Jewish and Epis copalian, The overwhelming answer was yes, the students come. Harry Smith, Presbyter ian campus pastor, said over 250 come to the films shown once a month. The Baptist Cen ter finds 60 attending Friday night gatherings. These fig ures fluctuate with the day, but all the directors agreed stu dents are coming. Yet each hastens to add not enough students are being rea ched. What is the problem? Rabbi Rabinowitz sums up one major difficulty, "I am the on ly Hillel director for Duke, I rastees In Hands Of Administration Rules Tested By Invitation To Speakers By ED FREAKLEY DTH Staff Writer Paul Dickson, student body president, said yesterday af ternoon that he is re- inviting Communist Herbert Aptheker and Frank Wilkinson, chair man of the committee to abo lish HUAC, to speak here. Dickson said, "If we can get the situtation, if one of them is denied the right to speak here, we will certainly take it to court." Dickson, who is also chair man of the Committee For Free Inquiry, called a meet ing of CFI for tonight at 7:30 in Howell Hall. According to Dickson, the purpose of the meeting is to discuss the decision of the board of trustees and what ac tions should be taken. The invitations are being ex tended jointly by Dickson, as president of the student body, by the Carolina Forum and by Students for a Democratic So ciety. Shortly after returning from the Raleigh meeting Dickson said the invitations would be sent out late last night or ear ly this morning. Wilkinson, who speaks tonight at Duke, will be invited to speak here tomorrow. Apthe ker is being invited to speak Wednesday, March 9. Chancellor J. Caryle Sitter son said he had no comment as to whether he would accept or reject the speakers since he has not yet been formally notified. Dickson said he expected the trustees' decision. "I was most disappointed. I think the trustees have compromised freedom, but under the cir cumstances, I feel it was the best we could expect." Sitterson said he was grati fied that the board of trus tees adopted the procedures and regulations recommended by the Executive Committee. "I realize there are differ ences in opinion over this and we respect those differences," Sitterson said. "Under the circumstances," Sitterson said, "I feel this was the best decision possible." Gary Waller, vice chair man of Students for a Demo cratic Society, said he was up set that the trustees had dilut ed academic freedom and had not taken a firm stand for the first amendment. "Regardless of what the pre sent administration will do with it, any future administra tion can supress free speech under the existing rules. "I think Gov. Moore's state ment yesterday that free State, UN and Carolina. It is humanly impossible for one man to do it all. Father Monk revealed his so lution to this, "We have plan ned a chain system. There are some regulars around here who live in the dorms and frater nities and can encourage oth er Catholics to come over. I would go myself, but I've tried that. "My collar alone stymies the situation," Beyond the problem of 15 men for 12,000 students, there looms student reluctance. Smith and Rabinowitz agree a student reaction against re ligion is a reaction against all authority. Smith says, "One of the best ways to strike out against par ents is to quit going to church or to flunk out of schooL Rabinowitz confirms this ad ding, "A move away from re ligion is part of growing up and asserting one's privilege to make independent decisions. Most people return after mar riage and children especial ly children. Pu PRESIDENT OF THE Consolidated University William C. Fri day addresses the UNC Board of Trustees.

"It doesn't matter whether it's the legislature, the board of trustees or the administra tion which is exercising prior restraint as far as speaker re gulations go for a particular group of people. It is still cen sorship," Matthews said. Panel To View Board Decision Consolidated University Pre sident William C.

Strong, law professor and former dean of the College of Law at Ohio State University; and Henry Brandis, Kenan professor of law and former dean of the Law School here. Banks Godfrey of the Wes ley Foundation had a bit dif ferent attitude, "We've just got to face it. There are not as many professing christians as there used to be, and it's a good thing. We cleared all the Church that bunch who went to church every Sunday and endorsed segreation." When asked about a general moral breakdown accompani ed by apathy, there rang a un animous "no." Herbert N. Tucker, of th Episcopal Church, asserts, "Students are not as apathe tic as they are puzzled. Too of ten the new morality turns out to be no morality. One stud ent told me it was not the strictness of his parents that bothered him, but it was then vagueness. They had never made any demands on him." Godfrey hit again when he said, "Carolina is neurotic. No one is setting the tone of life. There is a vacuum here with a phony idea of maturity.

The regulations adopted by the trustees give the UNC ad ministration final authority in handling invitations and ap pearances of speakers who would have been covered by the old speaker ban law.
