The Smith's Largest College Newspaper Volume 74, Number 108 CHAPEL HILL, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, MARCH 3, 1966 Founded February 23. 1893 ittersoe Backs b Trustees?; V ' 5 . 9 with Ed Freakley They'd Rather Switch "Hello . . . This is the DTH. We are conducting a survey on whether women should be drafted. What do you think? "Are you kidding? What's the matter, don't you believe in motherhood?" And so it went yesterday. We called every girls' residence hall and sorority on campus and talked to almost 50 coeds. Some of them didn't want to give their names, others had nothing to say, some just hung up and one young lady astound ed us by saying yes. Faryl Sims, history, Senior: "I think women should be drafted. Men are too chicken to be on the front lines and they want to push the women out in front." One coed said women could never be drafted because "there aren't any midwives on the battle field." Another when asked said "No!" We asked why and she replied, "Because I'm not dressed." We asked the question again and explained it but she gave the same answer. Here are some more responses: Nancy Raley, journalism, Junior: "I'm against it. If you were a girl would you want to be drafted?" If you were a man would you want to be drafted? Nancy Olson, English, Senior: "Unless they have a pur pose for drafting women I don't see how they could use them. It isn't practical. The program is definitely geared for men right now." Sally Ivey, English education, Junior: "I couldn't shoot a gun. I wouldn't be of any use to anybody." Carol Smith, sociology, Junior: "I'm one of those ole Xog gies that still believes that a woman's place is in the home." I guess women don't want equal rights, or at least they would rather switch than fight. Renovation Begins On Davie Project By GLENN L. MAYS DTH Staff Writer The $1.5 million project to renovate Davie Hall got under way yesterday and some of the work has already brought protests. The project, when complet ed, will add a modern look to the center of the campus and the building will house the Un riversity Psychology Depart ment. Allen S. Waters, director of construction and engineering at UNC, said yesterday the first part of the project will be to build a restraining fence around the construction area to keep people away and out of danger of falling bricks or debris. The front part of the present building will be torn away and the wing on the north side of the building, constructed in 1925, will be remodeled. The part of Davie Hall which is being torn away has been condemned, Waters said. The unit will contain about 71,000 square feet of floor WRC Recommends Late Permission For Jubilee By PEYTIE FEARRINGTON DTH Staff Writer A recommendation for cam pus - wide late permission of 2 a.m. Friday and Saturday nights of Jubilee was approv ed unanimously by the Wom en's Residence Council Tues day night. This petition was introduced by a Daily Tar Heel staff member Steve Ben nett. The administration had ask ed the Council to reconsider a recommendation for senior late permission. This recom mendation was discussed and voted upon unanimously to stand as is. A proposal to extend fresh man closed study until spring vacation was offered. Sugges tions to abolish the program all together were also ad vanced. Both of these ques tions will be reviewed again next week. Dean Carmichael retains the final authority for late per mission, although she is in fluenced by WRC. Mrs. Fulghum again pro posed a stumbling block for senior late permission, "With the extra hours a house moth er would have to work, the Dean of Women's office feels it is only fair to give the house mothers one night off a month. A substitute would have to be hired and paid. The graduate counsellors would have to be space. About 7,700 square feet of that area will be contained in the old wing of the building. The project is expected to be completed in about 18 months. The entire cost is being finan ced by a National Science Foundation grant and through state appropriations. Several trees were removed in the construction area which aroused comments from sever al persons. The level of the sidewalk which will be put in front of the new building is be ing lowered to the street level which made it necessary to re move the trees. Eugene Brown, assistant to the director of planning, said several trees will be planted along the sidewalk when the construction project is finish ed. Waters said he anticipated comments about changes being made on the site. He said about 10 feet of the arboretum will be taken up by the new building but he said that everything that can be moved will be saved. paid more for their extended service. A total of $25,000 per year is envolved." She added, "If the money is available, the change will be made anyway, because of the increased enrollment of wom en and a desire to free the house mothers from some of their extensive duties." The Council questioned the necessity of the house moth er staying up every night when graduate counselors and train ed members of House Council are present. Four extra two - o'clocks on the third, sixth, ninth and twelfth Saturdays of fall and spring semesters passed by to tal consent. Carol Ann Shaffer, who con sulted with Dean Carmichael, proposed a plan to keep fresh men women in closed study until spring vacation. A second proposal before council was a recommendation for total abolishment of clos ed study. Brently Claris asserted, "I found closed study an oppor tune time to rearrange furni ture and roll my hair." Conversely, Mary Ann Ful ton debated, "Dr. Lehman, freshman advisor for the Gen eral College, strongly urges closed study from her own stu dies and experience." At this point discussion of closed study was postponed un til next week. Wilkinson (MM i,r -Vm? - JUL ' - r- tTy-i ft Er: , i YESTERDAY'S APPEARANCE of Frank Wil- crowd by a sign reading "Dan K.

Year In France A rising junior or senior with; at least two semesters of French will have the opportun ity to spend a year in Paris on scholarship as part of a UNC exchange program with the Ecole Superieure d'Elect ricite in Paris. Applications can be found in 261 Dey Hall or the Informa Pledge Averages Wane With The School Year By STEVE BENNETT DTH Staff Writer The list of over 400 frater nity pledges and overall pledge class average of 2.605 was re leased yesterday by the Dean of Men's office. The overall pledge class av erage is .055 higher this year than last. Last year the pledge class average was 2.550 the semester before pledging and dropped to 2.1 the semester af ter pledging. Bob Kepner, assistant to the Dean of Men, said "I think it is a pity that the fraternity pledges performed so much worse in the spring last year than in the fall before they pledged. "I think the higher overall averages should make the fraternities challenge themsel ves to help the pledges this year to perform just as well in the fall if not better." The two reasons thought to be the greatest factors in the .45 drop in pledge class aver ages last year are the follow ing; 1. It was the first year of deferred rush. Many fraterni ties tried to squeeze the usual sixteen - week pledging period into ten weeks resulting in some adverse effects. 2. The residence college sys tem was not in effect during the fall of last year to offer so cial activities and therefore many pledges became involv ed in too many social activi ties during the spring semes ter.

The present number of spaces is "adequate." Since there are 4,003 stu dent cars registered on campus (excluding T stick er holders, who can't park on campus) and only 2,508 student parking spaces, this raises a couple of interest ing questions: If you are one of the 379 students with an H sticker and you don't find a space open in one of the 335 spac es allocated to you, what do you do? Go to Ramshead parking lot. If you are one of the 2.522 students with a C sticker and you can't find a park ing space in one of the 600 assigned to you, what do you do? Either go to one of the other student parking areas which is 'already full, or go to Ramshead parking lot. And now many spaces does Ramshead have? Three hundred.

Suit Might Be Filed By Sponsoring Groups By ED FREAKLEY DTH Staff Writer Acting Chancellor J. Carlyle Sitterson refused Frank W'ilkin son campus speaking privil eges yesterday and provided student leaders grounds on which they hope to base a court case. Wall Separates Speaker, 1,200 By PAT STITH DTH Managing Editor Frank Wilkinson, one of two men who have recently been banned from speaking on the campus of the University of North Carolina, talked to a crowd of students here yes terday from a sidewalk on this town's main street. Students vigorously applaud ed him when he said, "I believe the situation in which we find ourselves here assem bled is a disgrace to a great university. I don't think we should attempt to dignify this meeting even if we were to carry on a dialogue." A knee-high rock wall sep arated Wilkinson from -t he crowd of students, estimated by Chapel Hill police chief William D. Blake at 1,200. The students gathered on McCor kle Place on University prop erty. Wilkinson was forced to yell much of his 10 minute talk in order to be heard above the Pep Rally Set For Tonight A send - off pep rally for the UNC basketball team will be held tonight at 6:45 in Carmi chael Auditorium. Rick Kramer, president of the Carolina Athletic Associa tion said the team, coaches, cheerleaders and the pep band will be on hand for the rally. The team will leave imme diately after the rally to jour ney to Raleigh to meet Mary land in the last game of to night's opening round of t h e AOC Tournament. "Since only a few students will be able to attend the tour nament, they can again show their appreciation and support for the fine job the coaches and team have done this year," Kramer said. Last night the team practic ed in Raleigh. Last year they lost in the opening round of the tourney to Wake Forest. CARE Drive Money and prayers were given in yesterday's drive to collect funds for CARE's use in Viet Nam. The $357.33 collected were di vided in this manner: $956 in ten and five dollar bills; $75 in ones; $28 in dimes; $139.75 in quarters; $14.65 in nickels; $4.93 in pennies; and a nun's for the success of the drive. The largest single contribu tion was a $10 check.' Morgan "Spike" Mitchell, head of the drive, expressed thanks to those who helped in the drive: Bill Scott, Britt Gor don, Sonny Pepper, Honey Volkwein, Peggy Paul, Brenda Ballard, Nancy Mclean, Vic kie Roveano, Sara Nash, Gail McGregor, Alice Graham, Pom Harris, Christie Rucker, Bob Klein, Flossie Collins, Hunter Jordan and The Daily Tar HeL Morgan said the funds would be used to "build a worthwhile friendship between the V i e t namese and our soldiers." He said the drive would bet ter the University's image in the state and nation. Student body president Paul Dickson said last night that he was in contact with various lawyers across North Carolina seeking advice on what action might be taken. "As far as I can tell this will result in a court case," Dickson said. "As soon as lawyers ad- noise of traffic. He spoke without the aid of a micro phone because of a town ordi nance prohibiting the use of amplifiers on sidewalks. In introducing Wilkinson, student body President Paul Dickson said, "I feel this is a responsible way of demonstrat ing the ridiculousness of the procedures we have to follow." On the wall separating Wil kinson from the students was a plywood sign which read, "Gov. Moore's (Chapel Hill) Wall." The sign referred to a state ment Tuesday by Dickson in which he said that Wilkinson would speak here separated from students - by Moore's 'wall of repression." "This is the 131st university at which I have been invited to speak and this is the first place where I have been ban ned," Wilkinson said. "I have come here in good faith to state my point of view. I hope that out of this effort we will be able to restore academic freedom to this uni versity and to this state." Here, Wilkinson received his longest applause. He expressed hope that Sit terson would allow him to speak and then said, "I re fuse to stand on a sidewalk and shout over a wall with the message I have for you." Wilkinson, chairman of the Committee to Abolish the House Un-American Activities Committee, was invited to speak here, along with Com munist Herbert Aptheker, by the Students for a Democratic Society. Both were refused dates to speak by the Executive Com mittee of the UNC Board of Trustees Feb. 7, pending the full meeting of the Board Feb. 28. At that time the trustees adopted speaker regulations suggested by Consolidated University President William C. Friday and turned the prob lem over to Chancellor Sitter son and bis student - faculty advisory committee. Collects 8357.33, Prayer Everything But vise me of what grounds we have, I will file suit." In a statement yesterday af ternoon Sitterson said that he did not feel he could grant Wil kinson permission to use Uni versity facilities to speak. "The Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees on Feb. 7, 1966 , cancelled the scheduled appearances of Mr. Frank Wilkinson and Mr. Her bert Aptheker," Sitterson said. "Consequently, even though prior to the executive commit tee action I recommended that the earlier invitation be allow ed to stand, I regard their ac tion as in effect binding in these two instances," Sitterson said. The chancellor has not yet ruled on the invitation of Ap theker who is scheduled to speak next Wednesday. The student-faculty advisory com mittee will meet Friday after noon at 4 to discuss the Apthe ker invitation. Dickson said that if a suit is filed he will be a plaintaiff. Wilkinson will join him in bringing the suit and so may some of the inviting groups. He said he thought the suit would probably name the Gov ernor, as chairman of the board of trustees, the board it self, President Friday and Sit terson as respondents. At '7:30 last night, even though Dickson and Wilkinson knew of Sitterson's decision, they walked to Carroll Hall to attempt the speech. Campus Security Officer Ar thur Beaumont would not permit anyone to enter the building. He told Dickson that Sitterson. had instructed him not to let the building be used for any purpose. Dickson asked the crowd of 200 students if they wanted to hear Wilkinson, who is chair man of the committee to abol ish HUAC. They roared back "Yes." Several students in the group yelled for Wilkinson to speak right on the steps, which would have violated Sitterson's de cision. The group then moved to Hillel House to hear Wilkinson speak on HUAC. Almost 350 people attended the speech. They applauded loudly when former SDS chair man Jim McCorkel said that a test case was being planned. At the speech, which was sponsored by SDS, ADA, the Carolina Forum and the YMCA, Wilkinson said the case would be developed immediate ly and would probably name seven or eight plaintiffs. "They will be arguing for their right to hear and I will be arguing for my right to speak," Wilkinson said. "Don't let the Governor get away with this for one more day." The Prayer
