MARCH 9. 1966 " Founded Fohruarv m iq, ivith Ed Freakley Faunts Is Slill A Cheater If you have read the sports page you will see that FAUN TLEROY claims he went seven for seven in picks during the ACC tournament. THAT IS quite true. But he was still going to cheat to do it. And how can we know that Faunts' hasn't cheated in the past. As for the seven-foot statue he proposes to be erected in his honor, we have this to say about that. It would have to be at least that high to get his mouth in the right perspective. His mouth is big enough for both his feet and that is exactly where he always puts his feet, plus a few other things. At any rate, FAUNTLEROY IS STILL A CHEATER. Uli . . . Good Luck, Ev We spent a good deal of time yesterday pining away about the hectic life of elections board chairmen here at Carolina. The job must be murder, if you judge by the turnover. Last September Alvin Tyndall was given the post by Paul Dickson. He resigned, however, on Feb. 11 to buckle down on his studies and a campus job. When Tyndall announced his decision Student Body Presi dent Dickson appointed John Winborne to the post. That was Feb. 16. Winborne had served on the board and was willing to handle the Feb. 22 constitutional amendment. (Which is now being contested.) When Winborne resigned the day after the election, Dickson came up with another appointee, Jerry Wagner. Wag ner's appointment was turned down by the Student Legislature last Thursday. We don't know why. So, at the recommendation of Tyndall and Winforne, Dick son aye the appointment to Everett Thompson Monday. His appointment will come before the legislature tomor row night. Uh . . . good luck, Ev. Carry Cup GETTING TIRED of waiting in those long lines for coffee at Lenoir? Don't like the paper cups at the Y? Hallelujah! The answer is here! Carry your cup with you! Drag it along to class with you. Keep it in uour jacket pocket. Swing it on a string around your neck. Or, if you feel a vague sense of impracticality about these ideas, do like Henry Plummer a UNC junior from Philadelphia who lugs his cup chained to his bike. Don't laugh, it works!

Thompson said the election 1 faW w Sells Class laws stipulate that, to be re instated, candidates must con tact the elections board chair man within 48 hours after the meeting if they were unable to attend. McNair Lecturer Dr. Lawrence M. Gould, a world famous explorer who was second in command to the famous Admiral Byrd ex pedition to the Antarctic in 1929 will present the McNair lecture at UNC this year. Dr. Gould, presently a pro fessor of geology at the Uni versity of Arizona, will speak on "Science and the Culture of Our Times," 8 p.m. Monday in Hill Hall. The McNair lectures, which have been held in Chapel Hill since 1908, were founded by Rev. John C. McNair, an 1849 graduate. Their purpose is to pinpointing topics which show Election Group Revises Laws By GLENN MAYS DTH Staff Writer Student Government officials yesterday said revisions are being proposed in the current election laws. Arthur Hayes, chairman of the special legislative services commission apointed by Stu dent Body President Paul Dickson earlier this year, said the commission is reviewing the election laws and making revisions where they are needed. He said the revisions will be introduced in the next as sembly of the Student Legis lature for final action. Van McNair, chairman of the Constitutional Council, said the election laws definite ly need some revisions. "There are too many parts that are vague," he said. "Al most every election is protest ed for some reason." The Feb. 22 referendum on the constitutional amendment was protested on grounds that some polling places were nev er opened and there was a lack of pre-election publicity. Hayes said the present elec tion laws are about five years old and have been amended several times. "After a while," he said, "the laws get disjointed." He said the present laws only deal with one type of election the general elections. "There are no provisions for referendums, recalls or other types of elections," he said. 'There are some legalities that are not spelled out in the present laws," Hayes noted. He said the person protesting an election has the burden of proof. Hayes said protesting merely on election error was not enough for a valid protest the protestor must prove the election outcome would have been different if there was no error in the election process. : "No election anywhere is perfect," Hayes said. "So a protest merely on the basis of a procedural error would not be sufficient. If it were, then every election would be pro tested." "It's ridiculous to think the recent referendum would have come out any differently if the errors had not occur red," Hayes said. "The prot test is being based on a tech nicality." He said a part of the protest was aparently filed because there was not any controversy before the referendum. "This was not unusual," he said. "Very few constitutional amendments in the past have raised any controversy." The Constitutional Council will have an open meeting at 3 p.m. Thursday in Peabody to rule on the protest. Planning Wives To Meet Today The Planning Wives will meet this evening at 8 at 234 McCauley Street. Peter Von Christierson, a second year graduate student in the Depart ment of City and Regional Planning, will spak on his experience as a Peace Corps volunteer in East Pakistan and as an administrative officer for the Peace Corps.

DTH Staff Writer "I'll never retire," the port ly folksinger said as he rub bed one hand across his blond beard. "When you retire, you get old." Burl Ives sat in a corner of Kemp's Record Store yester day afternoon, his feet prop ped up on a counter, sipped tea, chewed on his pipe and talked about a variety of sub jects. Often he just looked out the window and watched the peo ple go by. What had brought him to Chapel Hill. "I'm just visiting Kemp," he said as he packed the to bacco into his pipe with two fingers. Kemp Battle Nye, owner of the store, handed Ives a pack of matches. Ives lit his pipe, took a few puffs, and exhaled a large cloud of bluish smoke. Has he been in Chapel Hill often? "Every day" came the reply, punctuated with a chuc kle. Ives pulled the front of his jacket together, and explain ed that he is now living in Durham, where he is on a special rice diet. He empha sized he was not retired. What is his current status? Ives replied with a single word: "Unemployed." When Kemp brought Ives a copy of The Daily Tar Heel, Ives reached into his coat poc Staffer Tells Of By CAROL GALLANT DTH Staff Writer There is nothing quite as depressing as a blank sheet of copy - paper leering at you from the typewriter cy linder. As deadline approaches : you could swear you hear : a sadistic giggle coming from the ASDF letter end of the typewriter. The U mere ly smirks. You assure yourself that any moment now you will stop imaining silly little things like a typewriter lau ghing. Any second now in spirtion will come; the Mu ses will walk sedately into The Daily Tar Heel office, riht past the AP wire ma chine, right through the stacks of old newspapers on your desk. Inoring the ringing tele phone along with you, they will perch atop the campus calendar events for next week, and those from last week you are just now run Burl Ives takes it easy at Kemp's. DTH Photo By Ernest Robl ket for a pair of glasses. "Here, I'll hold it this way," he said turning the paper, so that the name of the paper was easily visible. All this for the benefit of a constantly clicking camera. As Ives talked, Kemp wait ed on customers, most of whom gave the folksinger no more than a brief glance. Al most no one reco&nized Ives. Continuing to puff out occa sional clouds of smoke, while he chewed on the stem of his pipe, Ives looked through the paper. A basketball photo caught his eyes, and Ives commented on the new Carmichael Audi torium. There the folksinger in him became apparent when he noted that its acoustics were somewhat unfavorable. Ives, a frequent spectator at Carolina games, commented, "I guess you can't build an au ditorium for basketball and get good acoustics at the same time." After a thoughtful pause, Ives said that it took a place built for concerts to get good acoustics. With a wry grin, he mentioned a "real hall, like Carnegie Hall." Ives knows, he's performed there. As the reporter thanked Ives, he replied that he was happy to help out. Then he leaned back and continued to watch the people go by. ning (Better late than nev er, I always say!) and be gin singing to you. Sure they will! Well, with my luck they'd have a hang over, would have a built-in prejudice against journ alists and would sing off key. Uh, oh, here they come. All I need is seven sing ing sisters auditiong on my desk. "Alright girls. Just leave your number. Don't call me, I'll call you. I hear a gentle voice be hind me with volume just a notch below that of a cheerleaders after a touch down, "Deadline in 15 min utes!" Panic is setting in. Glancing around I notice the entire office is just a lit tle old hub - bub of activi ty. What are they writing!! I'll explain here that in order to glance around I must leave the confines of my desk and walk beyond the attractive blue partition that separates me from JL OnCamoM JL NBC Television To Meeting At Moore's By ED FREAKLEY DTH Staff Writer Communist Herbert Apthek er will confront the speaker ban law today at noon when he attempts to cross "Dan Moore's wall of repression" in front of the Post Office and come on campus to speak. Student Body President Paul Dickson said yesterday he would bring Aptheker on campus and ask officals if the Nicholson Invites Bulgarian Envoy By ERNEST ROBL AND ANDY MYERS DTH Staff Writers Another speaker who may come under the amended gag law has been invited to speak here later this month. George Nicholson III, chair man of the Carolina Forum, yesterday announctd he will submit a request to Acting Chancellor J. Carlyle Sitterson for a campus appearance of a member of the Bulgarian Le gation in Washington. Peter Vassilev, the Bulgar ian minister, is scheduled to speak March 29 at 8 p.m. in Howell Hall. Nicholson will request that Vassilev's appearance be in the form of a lecture on Bul garian literature and its "es thetical values and achieve ments as seen through the the ory of Social Realism (a Mar xist concept)." Vassilev stated in a letter to Nicholson he "would be de lighted to address an open fo rum of the student body." Biographical material about Vassilev has been mailed from Washington, according to Ni cholson. It will be submitted along with the request for Vas silev's appearance as soon as it arrives, Nicholson said. Vassilev is one of the speak ers Student Government had planned to invite here last year as part of its own test of the original speaker ban. These plans have since been thwarted by changes in t h e speaker ban law and invita tions by other groups, includ ing Herbert Aptheker's invita tion by Students for a Demo cratic Soceity. Aptheker, a Communist, will appear here today. He will speak to students at noon from the Franklin Street side walk adjacent to McCorkle place. His nighttime talk is sche duled for 8 p.m. at the Com munity Church on Purefoy Road, about a mile from cam Life As DTH 'Girl Friday' everyone else in the office. I've never been able to fathom why I am thusly se gregated. Just a coincidence I suppose. They really need that partition to ... to uh . . . Well, anyway I feel sure they need it. It's really fun to raise my sweet feminine voice to high C in order to inform those be yond the blue wall of a phone call. Wistfully I notice Pat our managing editor, is sur rounded by people, Gene & the sports crew are having a conference, Ernie is well into tomorrow's editorial and the copy - editors have already worn their copy pencils down to nubs. I move about the office unnoticed, which is some what difficulty consderng my knack for not seeing 6 foot hulks in front of me. Also my feet, magnetically drawn to any object, wrap themselves around table and chair legs (pure poetry in Communist theoretician can speak. When Aptheker is told he can not speak he will step back across the wall and talk to stu dents, who will be standing on campus just as they were when Frank Wilkinson spoke last week. A national news team from NBC will be on hand to re cord the event for national tele vision. The Committee For Free In quiry had planned to hold a pus behind Victory Village. Other possible locations for his evening appearance are the Chapel Hill Town Hall and the Episcopal church (Chapel of the Cross), next to Spencer Re sidence Hall. Nicholson said yesterday the invitations extended to Frank Wilkinson, Aptheker and Vas silev had been made last fall, but were cancelled by the ex ecutive board of the Univer ty trustees last month. However, other members of the Carolina Forum were not consulted in the invitations of these speakers. The three speakers' re-invitations, as well as their origi nal invitations, were by "exe cutive decision," according to Nicholson. AF Drill Team In Competition UNC's 19-man Air Force ROTC drill team will head to Greenville this weekend with one goal in mind to win the state drill competition for the third straight year and retire the trophy. For the past two years the team has topped Air Force ROTC drill teams from East Carolina College, Duke, State and North Carolina A&T Col lege. A victory this year will retire the rotating trophy. Drill team commander Clyde Thompson says the team "has the personnel to take it (vic tory) again this year." Competition will begin at 2 p.m. Saturday in the ECC gym. At last year's meet, the team won in all areas of competi tion. They finished with 449 out of a possible 1,000 points, well in front of the ECC team who finished second with 412 points. motion). There doesn't seem to be a news lead left lying loose anywhere." After listening in on one of the "friendly exchanges between our managing edi tor and someone slightly perturbed about the place ment of a story, I retreat back of the blue wall to the roar of the AP machine. People worry about what a Communist on campus will say. They should hear what editors say as dead line approaches! Before I hit one grinning key on the machine, I'm em broiled in a dialogue I could now participate in while I sleep. "Edit ear? How am I supposed to know what to put in the edit ear How am I supposed to know what an edit ear is ?! . . Yes, this is the DTH ... I can assure you, sir, we did not intentionally leave out your Campus Calendar evenL Talk Record Wall "wait - in" tonight at a hall on campus where it w anted Ap theker to speak. It felt this would help a court case against the banning of speak er's here. Dean of Student Affairs C. O. Cathey said last night that since Acting Chancellor J. ar lyle Sitterson had denied the Communist campus speaking privileges, "we are not piddl ing around with Aptheker or the sponsoring groups by giv ing them a place to sit around when no one is going to speak there. "The University is not going to get involved in that kind of ridiculous situation," Cathey said. Under present plans Apthek er will speak tonight at 7:30 or 8 either in the Community Church, Town Hall, or the Ep iscopal church, if it grants CFI permission to use its fac ilities. TIME TO BE ANNOUNCED The meeting place and time will be announced at the noon meeting today. The University Presbyterian Church, University Baptist Church and the University Me thodist Church all said no to requests to use their facilities. A seminar will be led by po litical science instructors Thursday to discuss Apthek er's talk. Referring to the NBC news team that will be here tomor row, Dickson said, "I think this is unfortunate in some ways. It will give the Univer sity a black - eye. "But it shows the import ance attached to the right of an American to free speech," . Dickson said. FUND DRIVE Dickson said that the CFI steering committee was still in the process or organizing a fund drive to pay for the court case. He has said that $1,500 or $2,000 is needed right away. "We are planning to open an account in the student ac tivities fund where the money will be deposited. SDS, CFI and student government will work together on the drive. Dickson said booths to col lect the money will be set up in Y-court, Chase cafeteria and Lenoir Hall. Dickson also said that some money will be needed to pay Aptheker's expenses. If Duke, where Aptheker spoke yesterday, has taken care of the flight expenses, only $15 or $20 will be needed. The sponsoring groups which invited Aptheker will probably pay the expenses. Students at today's rally may be asked to contribute. Dickson said Aptheker has been asked to speak on the War in Viet Nam. He said he thought Aptheker would be open to questions after the talk. Yes, your organization is as , good as anyone else's . . . Right, Saturday afternoon Order of the Old Tin Can. Run it three weeks. "Otelia who? Have you had any writing experience? Someone at your table drop ped peas on the floor in Le noir. You'll have to talk to the editor about that. "Yes, I'll bring something from downstairs. Seven cookies, two strawberry bars, one bam on rye, a carton of milk, 18 packs of cigarettes. That takes care of Freakley. What do the rest of you want? Somehwere the sun is shining; somewhere it's "Piggly Wiggly Time," and somewhere in the DTH of fice is a secretary - staff writer who missed the dead line.
