U.WC. Library Box 870 - - $4,650 For JFTurf? The University allotted $6,000 to move and install three Victory Village Houses but it only cost $1,350 to transfer them. Is labor so expensive that it costs $4,650 to install the houses? Bob Harris asks the same question in his story on page two. Volume 74, Number 110 Official Protest Lodged By Harris By GLENN L. MAYS DTH Staff Writer The Feb. 22 referendum on the so-called "slate amend ment" has been protested. Bayard Harris, told The Daily Tar Heel Friday that he filed a formal protest of the referendum on Friday Feb. 24 with Student Body President Paul Dickson which was to be turned over to the chairman of the Elections Board. John Winborne, then the temporary board chairman, resigned his post and no ac tion was taken on the refer endum protest. Dickson ap pointed Jerry Wagner as tem porary Elections Board chair man but he has not yet been approved. Harris said he later found out that the protest was to be filed with the Constitutional Council. . "In my opinion, the protest is valid," Dickson said Fri day. "However, it's up to the elections board to decide." Harris said he filed the pro test on the basis that (1), "the polls were never opened in Alexander Residence Hall, which is a violation of the election laws;" (2), "ballot boxes at Y-Court were not manned properly, despite the usual popularity of that poll;" and (3) "debate was such that very few people knew what the referendum was about, if they knew there was a refer endum at all." Van McNair, chairman of with Ed Freakley Ban Stand Of 1852 And you think this speaker ban situation is bad. Look brothers, don't yell too loud. Use your heads. Things could be much, much worse. You don't believe it? Well the following letter was written by the University to parents of students June 6, 1852, and is clear precedence for another kind of ban which might be en acted any time. Sir, THE SECLUDED situation of this place is not without dis advantages, but they are believed to be more than counter balanced by the safeguards which the Legislature and the Trustees have been thereby enabled to throw around us. Ex tensive inquiry, long experience and personal examination, have left no doubt on the mind of any one of us that our location was, on the whole, happily chosen. TO MAINTAIN A tippling house within two miles of the University, or to sell within that distance wine, ardent spirits, or malt liquors, to be used by a student.without the consent of the Faculty, is an indictable offense. Gaming, horse-racing, and other kindred practices, within four miles, are pro hibited in like manner. To give full sanction and efficiency to the provisions of the criminal law, the Trustees have or dained that any student who may be seen publicly intoxicat ed, or in whose room ardent spirits may be found, shall be forthwith suspended or dismissed, as the circumstances of the case may seem to require. This ordinance has been and will be faithfully carried into execution in every instance of its violation. EXTRAVAGANT HABITS ordinarily tend to the hindrance of all improvement, intellectual and moral; and the deleterious effect is by no means confined to the individual who is sub ject of them. It is impossible to preserve young men in all cases from indiscretions of his character. So carefully have these evils been guarded against, however, that no parent can suffer from them, who is faithful to the college, the com munity, his son, or himself. The Rev. Elisha Mitchell, D.D., is bursar of the institution. It is his duty to receive all sums of money that young men bring with them, to "disburse the same in paying their board, tuition fees, college dues, and other necessary expenses" ... to keep an account of the money thus received and disbursed, and at the close of each session to transmit a copy of such account to the parent or guardian of each student." THE REVISED Statutes "coned ning the University," (chap. 116.,) make it "unlawful for any merchant, shop keeper, or other person at Chapel Hill, or within two miles thereof, to sell to any student of the University, goods, wares or merchandise, without the consent of the faculty, or some member thereof, in writing." Any contract for the sale of such article is "null and void, and no recovery can be had thereon." The parent is consequently absolved from all obli gation to pay an account thus created, and it is very clear that guardian cannot discharge such a claim, without render ing himself liable to the estate of his ward for the amount. The ordinance of the Trustees, on the subject, requires the Facul ty to dismiss a student, who may contract a debt without permission. YOU MAY ALL breatflenow. The Grill is open and only a short distance from campus. And Aptheker can even speak there. the Constitutional Council, was not available for comment Fri day. Harris said he was not nec essarily opposed to the con stitutional amendment which provided for the election of the student body president and vice president on the same ballot. "These mechanical dif ficulties lead to a violation of both the spirit and the letter of the general election laws," Harris said. He stated in the protest, "Until this situation is cor rected by appropriate legisla tion, logic dictates that any election not involving candi dates may be protested with in a reasonable length of time providing that provisions of the question have not become effective. In this case we must hold that the so called 'slate amendment' is open to protest until an election has taken place under the amend ment." The amendment was passed in a light voter turnout by 1-283 to 657. However, Hani? said he filed the official pro test with Dickson at 4 p.m. Friday, Feb. 24. The 96-hour period following the final tab ulation of the referendum in which any protest had to be filed ended at 9 p.m. the fol lowing day. Harris said he hoped the council will invalidate the ref erendum of Feb. 22 and in clude the amendment referen dum in th March 22 elections. CHAPEL HILL, Poll Reveals 64 Oppose Ban Pickets By ERNEST ROBL DTH Staff Writer An overwhelming majority of Carolina students are against yesterday's picketing of South Building by members of the Committee for Free In quiry. a poll taken by the DTH showed 119 shirW kw V: the action of the pickets while only 46 said they approved of the action: 22 had no onini, Twelve CFI members march- ed with signs in front of the administration building for slightly over an hour" yester day to protest acting Chancel lor J.

(A poll taken by the DTH on Feb. 3, showed that 231 stu dents favored letting the two speak here, while 187 were opposed to this.) Typical student comments on tne picketing included: I agree with their nrinoi . r. .Wll:u ineiT princi- pies, but it iust doesn't eood." Jim PpHmtw more, Marshville. "I think the CFI no longer has the support of the mass of students due to the infiltration of the pseudo-beatniks who think they are saving the world, but actually don't know what they are saving it for." Ed McDonald, senior, Reids ville. "I believe continuing inter est should be shown." Tom Deleot, freshman, Mt. Pleas ant. "For one thing, it (the pick eting) will bring the issue out in front of the students and combat student apathy." Dave McFadden, junior, Ashe boro. "I don't see that it's going to gain anything." Kenneth Steele, senior, Statesville. "This isn't the right stage for picketing. We can still work things out." Hank Barnes, sophomore, Bellair, Md. "It's ridiculous! It has ab solutely nothing to do with the whole situation. Everything that Paul's done could be de stroyed." Alvin Tyndall, sen ior, Wilson. A number of those who voted no opinion told the DTH inter viewers they thought they did not know enough about the picketing no comment on the situation. Approval Given To TV Measure By JIM SMITH DTH Staff Writer Color television for every one? That's right! Student Legis lature passed a bill Thursday night to set up the means foi every residence hall, frater nity and sorority ot have color or black-and-white TV. According to the author oi the bill, Steve Jolly, this is how the set up will work: If you residence hall's TV is from one to two years old, Student Government and the television maintenance fund will give it $60 toward a new TV, either black-and-white or color. If your residence hall TV is two to three years old, they will give it $120; from three to four years, $180; and more than four, $240. The same applies to frater nities and sororities, only on a smaller scale. If you frater nity or sorority TV is one to two years old, it will get $40; from two to three years, $80; from three to four years, $120; and more than four, $160. The money provided by Stu dent Government is in additi tion to the trade-in value of the TV. In the past Student Govern ment and the Administration have provided residence halls with televisions. This bill ex tends this service to fraterni ties and sororities for the first time. Many legislators felt that the past practice had neglect ed a major part of the campus. Tl .'11 . u win De up to the Treasurer of the student body to deter- mine whether the residence hall, fraternity or sororitv has a legitimate need for a new TV. Under this bill, Cobb, Craige and Ehringhaus will be entitled to one extra TV, and Morrison will be allowed to get two more.

The victory moves top-seeded Duke into tonight's final round of action. For the Tar Heels it was a cold, sad ending to a dedi cated performance. A foul by Bob Bennett set up the final-seconds' heroics. Duke held the ball with 0:16 remaining. Steve Vacendak passed to Jack Marin, got it back and hit Verga m the cor- nr- A the same time, Mike T , . . Lewis broke for the basket and Verga flipped him the ball. Bennett fouled Lewis while the latter shot, and the big Duke pivot was on the line with a two - shot foul, the score tied at 20-all, and four seconds remaining. Lewis missed the first try, but hit the second, and the Tar Heels were through. A wild pass upcourt in a vain attemot to get off a shot for victory went out of bounds as the buzzer sounded. A sellout crowd saw the Tar Heels take the opening tap and then play keep - away from the taller, stronger Blue Devils. North Carolina's Larry Mill er took the game's first shot with 15:45 to go in the first half, and Bob Bennett's free throw with 15:36 to go was the first point of the night. Bob Verga's jump shot sec onds later gave Duke a 2-1 lead. Again UNC elected to sit on the ball waiting for the good shot. That good shot came with 12:46 left, as Bob Lewis drove down the lane for a layup and a 3-2 UNC lead. But a field goal by Steve Vacendak and a free throw by Jack Marin had the Dev ils back out in front, 5-3, with 11:42 remaining. John Yokley UNC's top scorer with six points and available through the Univer sity purchasing agent, every living area on campus will probably have a color TV. The cost of a color TV, bought through the purchasing agent will be $290, and a color anten na will cost $20." In other action Thursday night, Rep. De Haven Cleaver resigned from the Legislature in protest to the Student Gov ernment administration's han dling of the Speaker Ban con troversy. He alleged that Pres. Paul Dickson has placed Stu dent Government out on a limb from which it cannot re treat. Hugh Blackwell rose in re buttal. "Though I hold deep respect for Rep. Cleaver, I do regret those people who become dis illusioned with Student Govern ment and simply throw in the towel instead of staying in and fighting." The Legislature refused to permit "A Resolution to Ex press Appreciation to Those Involved in the Amendment to the Speaker Ban" to be brought to the floor. A two thirds vote was required to re move the resolution from the Ways and Means Committee in which it had been held since early February. A resolution, authored by John Strickland, asking for an end to dormitory crowding was tabled. Strickland pointed out the trustees had appointed a com mittee headed by Dr. A. K King to study the question of increasing the size of UNC, and the resolution would state the students' position on resi dence hall crowding. The appointment of Jrrey Wagner as chairman of the Elections' Board was turned down by an 11 to 8 vote. The Legislature voted $100 for clerical Mr in tooni it records. mm College Newspaper SATURDAY, MARCH 5, 1966 .Final Freeze Folds Tm Gauntlett sandwiched ree throws around a D u k e fielder by Bob Riedy, and the score was 7-5 in the Devils' favor at the half. Alter controlling Uie secona- half tipoff and missing two easy layups, Uie Tar Heels took command for most of the remainder of the game. A driving shot by Yokley tied it at 7-7 with 18 minutes left to play, and with 15:47 to go, Johnny did it again to give his team a 9-8 lead. Then Bobby Lewis' three point play with 12:31 remain ing shot the Tar Heels to a 13 10 advantage. Verga popped one in from outside to slice Duke's deficit to one, but Lewis hit Bennett with a pass and the UNC cen ter drove for a bucket. Then Larry Miller got his only field goal of the night to put rnrnlina in a onnA nnsit on on top, 17-12, with 10:12 to play. But here, Duke began its move, outscoring UNC by 7-3 in the next seven minutes. Marin got a free throw off Bob Lewis' foul, and Vecen dak hit from the outside right for 17-15, UNC. After Bennett scored again for the Tar Heels for a 19-15 lead at 8:11, Marin canned two free tosses. Then Mike Lewis dropped a foul shot, and Miller got one of the same for Carolina, which now held a 20-18 lead with 3:21 to go.

That's pretty im pressive, but since vou prob ably understand it as well as I did when I heard it, I'll translate. The "Student Association of Engineering Colleges" has a group of 18 students from Berlin traveling in the United States for 21 days and they were on the UNC Campus at Chapel Hill Thursday and Fri day. My German vocabulary is limited to "gesundsheit" but talking with three of the stu dents was not difficult as they speak excellent English. (I couldn't help but wonder why engineers would be interested in The Daily Tar Heel office but I'm glad they wandered in). The group spent the last 7 days in Raleigh with State Col lege serving as host. They stayed in American homes and were amazed by the "Southern Hospitality. "They couldn't do enough for us." They spent their first five days in New York. Juergen Hellenschmidt says he found New York "very expensive and interesting." From New York they traveled to Mary land where they played a soc cer match. Proceeds went to the John F. Kennedy Memorial Library to be bulit in Cam bridge, Mass. The trip is being made to promote understanding be tween the people of Berlin and the U. S. Only eighteen are selected from the fifty that took a technical engineering test. Dean To Extend Women's Hours The Dean of Women's office granted 2 a.m. late permission for all Carolina coeds for Sat urday, April 30 during Jubilee weekend. The Women's Residence Council, at their meeting Tues day, March 1, unanimously passed late permissions for both Friday and Saturday nights during Jubilee. . The WRC late hours decis ion was recommended to Dean Carmichael, who has the right to over ride the decision. Dean Carmichael referred the question of late permission to question of late permission to her assistant Mrs. Dorothy fuigram who considered Car- michael's ooinion in the final decision. "IT'S CALLED STALL ref. Yon see we don't not passing want them to ret the balL That's why Tm itterson OK's Two Reds, By ED FREAKLEY DTH Staff Writer Communist Herbert Apthe- ker was officially denied use of campus speaking privileges yesterday, but two other Com munists have been granted permission to give talks here. Vladimir Alexandrov, a spe- Students Protest In Orderly March By ANDY MYERS DTH Staff Writer Members of the Committee for Free Inquiry paraded in front of South Building yester day for an hour and a half with signs protesting the denial of free speech at Carolina. About 35 graduates and un dergraduates attracted a cur ious crowd of more than 200 onlookers while they quietly circulated from 11 a.m. to 12:30 pjn. Some signs carried by the picketers read: "Why Were We Locked Out of Carroll Hall?" "Free Speech When? Free Speech Now," and "I'd Rather Be An Orphan." A collection box was set up in Y-Court to receive donations for the activities of CFI Student Body President Paul Dickson refused to align him self with yesterday's actions by the CFI, saying "such ac tion is not needed. It accom plishes nothing, and I do not at this time condone it." Dickson, who is also chair man of the CFI steering com mittee, noted that Thursday's CFI meeting was called with out consulting him, adding that it was "hastily-called and poor ly attended." A Sunday meeting in Gerrard Hall has been called by the CFI for 7:30 p.m. "We will dis cuss . . . recent developments and our plans for the future," Dickson said in a statement. "All the students and fac ulty are urged to attend this meeting because decisions will be made which will affect the entire campus." It is expected that Dickson will reveal the outcome of talks with lawyers in Greens- boro Thursday. Smith, Moore, Smith, Shell, and Hunter is the Not Aptheker cialist on the history of the Communist Party of the So- viet Union, and Hanus Paoou- sek, a visiting professor at the University of Denver, have been invited by the depart ments of political science and psychology, respectively. Neither of the two men have law firm Dickson conferred with. Other members of the steer ing committee are Jim Little, Gary Waller, Neil Thomas, Robert Reiser, Daryll Powell, Dr. John Honnigmann and Dr. Walter Hollander. Little, also chairman of the Student Party, rejected the picketing action. "They have a right to picket," he said yes terday, "but I personally am not in favor of picketing for the sole purpose of picket ing." "I don't critize their pick eting per se," Little said. What I do question is the fact that Stu Matthews called the meeting." Matthews is not on the CFI steering committee. Thomas, also chairman of the University Party, said, "I am dead set against (picket ing)." "You must consider how the people in the state will react to it," Thomas continued. 'This reaction," he said, "will most likely be "adverse." "You've got to consider the problem in two areas," he said, "in the shell of the cam pus and in the sphere of the state. None of the steering com mittee members contacted said they would resign from the committee. "I'm going to stay in there and keep as much a moderating influence as I can," Thomas said. Dickson said court action is still in the planning stage. He refused to comment on how the CFI will raise money to take the case to court, but in dicated this matter would be discussed at the Sunday meeting.

Founded February 23. 1893 Tell them to come ret it. DTH photo by Ernest BobL replied as yet to the invita tions. In granting the men permis- sion to come here, Acting Chancellor J. Carlyle Sitter son said, "The invitations is sued by the two departments are clearly in accord with the policy on visiting speakers adopted by the board of trus tees Feb. 28. In a letter to Paul Dickson, student body president, ex plaining why he barred Apthe ker, Sitterson said he had not acted on the question previous ly because the student-faculty committee had not given the Communist theortican's invita tion consideration. "Since then," Sitterson said, "I have consulted with the committee. I am denying per mission to use University fa cilities for Mr. Aptheker's pro posed speech on March 9." Sitterson said the reason for his decision was based on the executive committee of the board of trustee's cancellation of Aptheker's scheduled ap pearance last Feb. 7. "Even though prior to the executive committee action I recommended that the earlier invitation be allowed to stand, I regard their action as in ef fect binding in this instance," Sitterson said. Dickson said, "The chancel lor did exactly as we expected- It figured that since he turned down Wilkinson he would also turn down Apthe ker." In his letter to Dickson, Sit terson said he was "well aware of the difficulties before us ail at this time. As soon as things quited down a bit and we both have an opportunity for a leisurely conversation, I would appreciate an opportun ity to talk with you about these and related matters." Prof. Frederic N. Cleave land, chairman of the political science department, said that Pi Sigma Alpha, the political science graduate student or ganization, had invited Alex androv. Papousek was invited by the UNC Developmental Psycholo gy Training Program which is headed by Prof. Halbert B. Robinson.
