NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, MARCH 11, 1966 Founded February 23. 1893 with Ed Freakley The Appian Way That do-it-yourself brick walk out near Morrison Resi dence Hall is progressing through the swamp lands. As of yesterday morning at 11 it was 53 paces long. That comes to 5,908 bricks, give or take 10. Pretty soon you Moes will have your own "Appian Way" leading out of the dark-ages to the civilized area up here on campus. N . . . B . . . C Most of you missed Wednesday night's NBC news which had the films of Communist Herbert Aptheker's appearance here at UNC. HERE IS a run down on how it went with Chet Huntley doing the commentary. "We now take you to Indonesia where thousands of stu dents sacked the embassy today." The films show students running around throwing rocks etc. "Rioting also broke out in the Dominican Republic today." Same kind of film, same type of student, only the place has been changed. THEN HUNTLEY said, "We take you now to Chapel Hill, North Carolina." Here the films showed students running to get a place in front of Silent Sam where Aptheker first ap peared. There were also a number of beards that appeared. The film had a caption under Student Body President Paul Dickson which said, "Dickson a student leader." Huntley came back on and said that Aptheker's daughter had been suspended from the University of Southern California at Berkeley for participating in two get out of Viet Nam dem onstrations last week. Huntley said they had a rule out there that you could only be in one get out of Viet Nam riot a week. Goodnight Chet. A New Something mysterious is going on around Davie Hall. Of course we all know that their "tearen' her down to build her over again." We realize the need for some kind of barrier to keep students from walking by and getting a brick stuck in their ear. BUT WHAT is this barbed-wire stuff? Is there some kind of government project going on? Rumors say members of losing athletic teams are going to be thrown in there. We also hear that 180-pound police dogs will be patroling the grounds at night. The whole thing is unlawful. We propose a new CFI onstitutional Fences Immediately. The Ix)st Tambourine They say they're going to set up booths in Y-Court, Chase Cafeteria and Lenoir Hall to collect money for the free speech courtcase but mind you, that's just what they're saying. Actually, "they" is Paul Dickson. And lately there's been considerable divergence between what Paul has said and what is. Last Sunday CFI and Dickson said booths would be set up Monday. They weren't. He said the same thing again Monday for Tuesday. They weren't. And aeain on Tuesday he said it. They weren't. And on Thursday. They weren't.

Referendum Could Affect Pepper's Decision To Run Supporters of MRC President Sonny Pepper indicated yester day that he would be an inde pendent candidate for student body president. Pepper could not be reach ed for comment. His supporters said his de cision hinged on whether the Constitutional Council ruled last month's referendum valid. The referendum stated that candidates for student body president and vice president had to run on the same ticket. The referendum was passed by a majority vote of the stu dent body, but was held inval id at a Constitutional Council meeting yesterday because of improper election procedures. I'irnTT I'fE CFI Dickson's office promised that the booths would go up. Or VT1 "The question now is what is going to happen if the students pass the referendum again," said one Pepper supporter, who asked not to be identified. "If the referendum is pass ed," he continued, "what will be the ruling on Sonny's can didacy? He will have already been a qualified candidate by the time of the referendum. Forcing him to comply to a ruling made after he was a qualified candidate is the same thing as passing an ex post facto law. "Sonny doesn't have a vice presidential candidate now and I'm sure he won't have one the 15th of next month when the new referendum is held." A Fraternities Start Winter Germans By STEVE BENNETT DTH Staff Writer Winter Germans, sponsored by the 13 UNC member fra ternities, will begin tonight with a formal concert in Me morial Hall and conclude with a casual dance in Durham to morrow night.

William Gert Schmidt, pres ident of the DKE, and a sen ior from Jacksonville, Fla., is Rebuildi Progresses The "house - fixing" project being executed by Morrison and Nurses Dorm has prog ressed considerably since it was started two weeks ago. A core group of about 15 s u dents has worked every day painting, hammering and dig ging around the house, which is to be occupied by a family of ten. But there is still a need for paint, tile, money and work ers so that the work can be completed by the end of next week. John Ellis, one of the work ers, says the r ponse from some merchants was" - very good, but that because of a lack of publicity many neces sary materials have not yet been donated. The students, led by Ellis, Gary Boggs, Pat St. John and Ward Maillard, have ins ailed sewage lines and painted both the outside and inside of the home. They have also put wood sid ing on the outside. These students are looking for help in completing the pro ject by next week, so anyone having materials they wish to give or time to spend working, call Gary Boggs at 929-5001.

Aptheker Attacks Johnson And 'Aggressive Policies' By ANDY MYERS DTH Staff Writer Herbert Aptheker told a group of Carolina students and faculty Wednesday night that his recent unauthorized trip to Hanoi now seems "like a nightmare." Speaking at the interdenom inational Community Church on Purefoy Rd., the Commu nist described his experiences with North Vietnamese lead ers. "The Vietnamese feel the war is a struggle for indepen dence, and I believe them," he said. He argued that the peo ple of Viet Nam "do not want to wage war with the United States. They do not seek, to damage our cities. Defense is their main concern." Commenting on President Johnson's "peace offensive," Aptheker said he agreed with the North Vietnamese, who considered it "demagogic." He reported that the North Viet namese premier told him that the United States had not con tacted his government, despite the American claim to have "knocked on all the doors." Aptheker was introduced to the 350 persons presnt by Gary Walker, former chair man of Students for a Demo cratic Society. The State Department re voked Aptheker's passport aft er the illegal Viet Nam trip. Straughton Lynd, a Yale pro fessor, and Tom Hayden, founder of SDS tlso took the trip. SDS invited Aptheker to speak here, but he was denied a platform by Acting Chancel lor J. Carlyle Sitterson last week, Board Upholds DTTI Firing A resolution upholding the firing of a Daily Tar Heel business staff member was passed yesterday by the Pub lications Board. Woody Sobol, former adver tising manager, was fired Fri day by Bussiness Manager Jack Harrington because "in structions were not carried out to my satisfaction," Harring ton said. Sobol applied to the publica tions board after his dis charge and Harrington's de cision was upheld. Brick Sidewalk WiH Be Re,aid At 'Mighty Mo' By STEVE BENNETT DTH Staff Writer The brick sidewalk which is being built by Morrison resi dents and which is now 53 feet long will be taken up next week and reconstructed by a crew from the Building and Grounds Department. B. L. Ross, assistant Super intendent of Building and Grounds, said that the side walk has not been started be fore now because of the bad weather that has continued for the past several months. The thousands of bricks to be used as material for the sidewalk from the back of Morrison along a path to the field house parking lot have been stacked there since last November. Ross said, "After we begin the construction at the end of next week, it should be com pleted in two or three weeks if the nice weather contin ues." The cost of the project is covered by the money left from the construction of the dor mitory for use in the construc tion of sidewalks and landscap ing. The students living in Mor rison who park in the Rams head parking lot have been having to climb the steep bank to the dorm all year. Ross said he plans to look over the situation and see if steps are needed from the parking lot to the dorm. "If steps are needed to pro tect the bank and hlep stu dents get to their residence, we will build it also," he said. The dirt path from the field house to the north entrance to Kenan Stadium will remain as it is until some further ap propriations are alloted to the construction of walks on cam pus. Waller remained next to Ap theker during the hour talk, which was followed by a ques tion and answer session. Aptheker rarely took his hands from the lecturn as he repeatedly referred to "John son" (President Lyndon) and the "aggressive policies of the United States." "The Johnson administra tion" is impotent in dealing with civil rights killings, but it "can burn villages and ravish a people who have done us no harm," Aptheker charged. Citing things "in favor" of President Johnson's Viet Nam policies, Aptheker said the "domino theory" (if one na tion falls the rest will follow) is a "facade." "The truth is actually the contrary," he said. "The John son policy has flung all the dominos on the floor." Aptheker said Red China has used "amazing restraint" in its relations with the United States. He drew another com parison by asking how we (the United States) would feel if China had occupied Nantucket, the Florida Keys, and Long Island. Red China has shown "amaz ing restraint" by not entering into the Viet Nam war, he said.

The Council set Tuesday as the date for another vote on the amendment. Council Chairman Van McNair in announcing the council's decision said, "After considering all the facts in this case, we can find no other decision than to say that the referendum on the'slate amendment' is not valid." Before the hearing was con- t BARBER EARL BARKER stepped out of his underground shop Wednesday to get a look at what all the noise was about.

Student Body President Paul Dickson, chairman of the steer ine committee, announced the meeting Wednesday ,March 9, along with the opening of a "Free Speech Defense Fund" in the Student Activi ies Fund office in G. M. Dickson and Student Body Treasurer Tom White are the only persons authorized to re move monies from the fund. Dickson said booths will be set up in Y-Court, Chase Cafe teria, and Lenoir Hall to so licit money for the fund. Be fore individuals give money to students, they should make sure the solicitor has a letter from Dickson authorizing him to solicit funds. However, persons may send checks for the fund to Student Government offices, according to Dickson. "We are asking each student to give at least $1 and, if possible, more," he added. Some $1500 to $2000 will be needed at first for legal serv ices for a law suit, and any money not used will be donat ed to the North Carolina chap ter of the American Civil Lib erties Union, Dickson explain ed. CFI Holds Seminar The Committee for Free In quiry discussed Herbert Apthe ker's talk on Viet Nam yester day at a seminar led by SPU chairman Chuck Schunior, CFI member Richard French and political science professor Lewis Lipsitz. More than 50 persons heard Lipsitz and Schunior criticize the United States' Viet Nam policy w hile saying they did not agree with all of Aptheker's foreign policy views.

Shake-Up In MRC By STEVE LACKEY DTH Staff Writer Elections w ere held in the MRC meeting Wednesday night, but only after 28 mem bers were" purged from the roll because a quorum was not present. Members having more than two unexcused absences were removed from the roll after quorum was called and it was discovered that only 47 of the standing membership of 94 were present. Gary Nordan, representative from Ehringhaus, moved for quorum, saying that his action was "purely a matter of prin ciple." He did not feel it was right to "have 25 members electing the president to serve over the entire residence hall" system. MRC president Sonny Pep per recessed the meeting for 15 minutes so that a major Void ducted, the councd dehber- ated about 40 minutes on the question on whether the pro- test of the referendum was filed within the 96-hour limit set in the election laws. McNair said the board could not find "any definite guidelines" on which to act and would hear both sides of the case. Baynard Harris, a resident of Alexander Residence Hall, filed the protest on the grounds that polls in Alexander were not opened for the referen dum and that polls at Y-Court were not properly manned. In the hearing, Harris said there were "flagrant violations of the election laws and a sig nificant number of voters were not allowed to vote" and ask ed the council to rule the ref erendum invalid. He said his protest was not based on a "technicality" but on the "flag rant misconduct" during the election. Arthur Hayes, representing Student Government, told the council that snowing there was error in the election process was not enough to in validate the referendum. "There is no need to hold another election," he said, "no need whatsoever." Jim Little, SP 'chairman, also recommended to the council that the results cf the election stand as valid. In his statement to the coun cil, Harris said there was a "possibility" for ballot box stuffing and that minimum safeguards were not provided for in the referendum. lowjng-the announcement ?L JFhtJl ! ren(jered a ereat service with this deicision." Harry Day, housemaster of Alexander Residence Hall, should serve as due notice to those in charge that they should discharge their obliga tions consistent with the im portance that the election process bears to Student Gov ernment and to the student body." McNair said he felt the stu dents want the "slate amend ment" but "the election was grossly mishandled and there was no other way for the coun cil to rule." The council chairman em phasized the need for "com prehensive legislation" to be passed by Student Govern ment concerning the elction process. "We are continually appalled by the irresponsi bility of the elections board," McNair said. The constitutional amend ment passed Feb. 22, by a two-to-one majority in a light turnout. Another referendum is set for Tuesday so that if the amendment is approved, it will be in effect in the March 22 elections. ity could be found. It was dur ing this recess that Pepper and Gary Boggs, acting as secre tary, purged the roll. Pepper attributed the low attendance to "the general apathy of the men's residence halls." He said that when a mem ber leaves because of absences his residence president is sup posed to appoint a new MRC man. Then "they just don't 'come," Pepper said. There were no representa tives at the meeting from Bat tle - Vance - Pettigrew, Ever ett, Ruffin or Carr Hails. Despite the trouble in reach ing quorum, elections were held. The new officers are: Lew Bro-ATi, sophomore, pres ident; Gary Nordan, sopho more, vice - president; J i m Hough, junior, secretary; and Walt Leonard, sophomore, treasurer.
