NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, MARCH 17. 1966 Founded February 23. 1893 'Sing Out' Members Quit j Easy Life To Evangelize By CAROL GALLANT DTII Staff Writer Internationally acclaimed "Sing - Out '66" a two-hour "patriotic burst" of song, will be on campus Monday. One - hundred and thirty young people from campuses and high schools all over the U. S. and students from 17 for eign countries form the sing ing "youth corps." Who are these young people and what prompt them to take a year out of school or work to tour the world singing? A girl who gave up a $9,000 scholarship put it this way, "This is a small price to pay to play a part in saving civi lization." A young man just gradu ated from high school said, "I am ready to die for freedom in Vietnam, but are we ready to live for it? I have decid ed to give this year with 'Sing Out '66' because I, for one, am ready to live, as well as die for it." Their program includes such songs as "Design for De dication" and "Don't Stand A A UP William Van Alstyne, profes sor of constitutional law at Duke Law School, will speak to three scholastic honorary groups on campus tonight con cerning academic freedom.

Experience prefer- Jus' Goes The Women's Residence Council is waging a successful war against tennis shoes today. Inside sources reveal it might be some sort of "offense" to wear anything but leather on your feet. The reason: today is the last day of the WRC shoeshine in Y Court and Lenoir Hall, and sneakers are hard to shine. Last year the WRC collected more than $40 shining shoes. All the money goes to the Cam pus hest. Ellen Sugg, freshman from Washington, D. C, and one of yesterday's "rag - slappers" said the job is not easy. "I've ruined my stockings (cement is hard on the knees, too) and I've averaged about six pair an hour," she said. For her five hours' toil she claimed more than 60 shoes! Wow! - Hurry down to Y Court and pay your quarter. That means the price is 25 cents cheap! ANDY MYERS Still", songs which call for the young people of America to take up the cause of freedom. They sing in 48 languages & have performed on every con tinent. The members of "Sing - Out '66" emphasize need for an end to hatred, violence, and suspicion. Following are some of their comments. Willie Storey, Indio, Califor- nia: "I came up in a very tough school on the west side of Chicago. It was known for its wild kids, its hell raising and its gang fights. I parti cipated in many of those fights. But I found it took more guts to stand up and fight for what is right than it did to take part in any of those fights. Romona Abella, Cuba: "we did not want communism in Cuba, but it took over because we sat back and did nothing. While we went on criticizing the government, we thought it an iiguu tu cunimue cneaung hi . . . in school. All that I heard about America was sex, vio lence and your almighty dol lar, and that's what most of Member red but not required. This po- sition will require approximate ly 20 hours per week.

Orientation Staff The Campus Orientation Commission is holding inter viets for staff positions today and tomorrow from 4 to 6 p.m. in Graham Memorial. Positions open are foreign student coordinator, married student coordinator, secretary Today's St. Patrick's Day, But Where Are The Irish? By PEYTIE FEARRINGTON DTH Staff Writer It's time to pull out that green again and go, go, go for St. Patrick. But few students fall in the ranks of the wearers-of-the-green. If it remains with only that hard-core group the O's, it won't be many. There are not but 31 O'Keefes, O'Brians, and the like register ed in the student directory. Three of these passed the way of many good Irishmen after first semester. Now it's about those re maining 17. Where were they Tuesday night when the DTH took its "Are-you-w earing green - on - St. - Patrick's Day" survey? Some say they were doing a little campaign ing, and a few were practic ing up their brogue in the lan guage labs, but the majority were running around trying to find out who St. Patrick was anyway. When the poll was taken on this matter, offense cropped up everywhere. Anne Normant, junior, at- lington, Va. could only mumble To Show -It's I 7w iN s?"

Besides those downright of fended, there were those who couldn't really get worked up over the question. Alice Gann, senior, Atlanta, said, "I'll wear whatever is clean at the time." She was joined by Mack Schafer, freshman, Raleigh, who remarked, "Sure, yeah, if it happens to be clean and green." There is only one hope left on campus and it comes from a young man on the second floor of Craige. When question ed, Larry Stigall, freshman, Kernersville, said, "Are you kidding?" He then turned to his buddies in the hall and said, "Hey, guys, are we wear ing green on St. Patrick's Day?" Then there was a rejoicing cry that went up to the sixth floor. It was a wild tumultous affair. Men were tearing back to their closets to plan for the big day. Still A Man's Jb mt Lou By STEVE LACKEY DTH Staff Writer Chi Psi and Phi Kappa Sig ma fraternities have been ex cused from Dean of Men Wil liam Long's ruling on fratern ity parties. At least six others plan to appeal. In order to be exempted from the decision, the fra ternities must show that they were in no way involved in last weekend's distrubances, and must agree to abide by Long's six-point program out lined in The Daily Tar Heel yesterday. The DTH contacted 16 of the 19 fraternities and found that all were disturbed by the ac tion. Most fraternities felt that Long did not like the fratern ity system and is out to des troy it. " Most fraternities were up set about both Long's decision and "erroneous publicity" in the DTH concerning their ac tions over the weekend. . Members of Alpha Tau Omega, according to one of ficer, feel that Long's action is unfair. Since ATO is locat ed away from Big Fraternity Court, the members feel that they should not be punished. According to Jimmy Martin of Sigma Nu, located in the Big Fraternity Court, the weekend was no worse than some others have been. Martin, along with other members, feels that Long has "been looking for an oppor tunity to crack down on fra ternities." There was some resentment of the drastic steps Long took in cracking down. One Sigma Nu member ques tioned whether Long should have simply asked the fratern ities involved to correct the situation within themselves rather than opening the mat ter to campus and statewide publicity. Pi Kappa Alpha, which was reported to have been involv ed in damages to another house, denies any connection with the bottle throwing and surf-board-stuffing. President Buddy Bishop of PiKA said none of his mem bers were involved. He also said that he made an offer to the Pi Lams to pay for the damages and then find out who was responsible. Bishop said that he did this to keep down undesirable pub licity over the situation; not because his fraternity had done the damages. Harold Wilson of Sigma Chi voiced the opinion of many fraternity men. He said, "Dean Long has in the past used fra ternities as his whipping post." Wilson said that Long seems to "be easier on dormitories," and saying that the Morrison pornography incident in which Long "slapped the hands" of the men involved. Wilson stated that Long is treating fraternities "like a loaf of salami every chance he get he cuts a slice off." He mentioned Long's com pulsory on-campus-housing for freshmen and deferred rush as two "slices." World! 9 g 1 O Appeal. .Decision "He'll take whatever he can get until he has cut off the whole loaf," Wilson said. The housemother of the Pi KA house disagreed violent ly with charges that there was excessive noise in the court. TV Overcoming Major Problems By CAROL GALLANT DTH Staff Writer Charles Kuralt, one-time edi tor of The Daily Tar Heel and now a CBS newsman, spoke yesterday to a group of 800 professional journalists assem bled here for Journalism Week. Don Carter, managing editor of The National Observer, and Kuralt discussed "Two views of the News" with Roy Thomp son of the Winston-Salem Jour nal serving as moderator. Kuralt outlined the main problems involved in television CHARLES KURALT news coverage by discussing five major points the short age of people in this field who can write; the skillful use of film; the fact that an "object observed is an object altered"; the problem of too little "space", time and finally, the fact that television is not a news media to begin with. The newsman said television "runs the comics on the front page. The news comes on page eight." . - s V .-V r i Elections Board Validates Three Of Five Petitions By ANDY MYERS DTH Staff Writer The elections board yester day validated petitions of three students candidates and named two more petitions as invalid. The two petitions found worthless were Howard Crack er's, independent candidate for a legialtive seat in Craige, and Al Carlton s, another candidate for student legislature. Arthur Hays, elections board chairman, said Cracker's peti tion needed 50 signatures and only 15 were found to be valid. The other 35 either were not accompanied by the signer's address or by his class. Crack er did not sign the petition himself, a requirement of the elections laws. Calton's petition also need ed 50 names, but the entire list of 69 signatures was toss ed out because none of the names had a class. "Before we had considered any of the petitions," Hays said, "we decided to follow the strict interpretation of the law, which required the name, address, and class of each signature. For the whole peti tion to be valid, the candidate also must have signed it." Approved was Alan Banov as a Daily Tar Heel editor candidate. His petition needed 145 names. "When we reach ed the minimum we stopped validating." Hays said. Also found to be valid were petitions of Student Body pres idential candidate Sonny Pep per, having 157 names, and of Craige legislator candidate Mi chael Cozza, submitted with 59 names. A spokesman for Sigma Phi Epsilon told the DTH yester day the ruling had been ap pealed by his fraternity on the grounds that they were not members of Germans and were not having a party last weekend. Kuralt emphasized the tre mendous impact of the media and cited as an example the CBS story on "Christmas in Appalachia" which resulted in the National Guard being mo bilized to carry in all the pack ages that were sent to the area as a result. "We tell the human story which is often the most important story." Carter's remarks revolved around the changes in news--"' paper content which have been made, and suggested addition al improvements which must be made as a result of the broadcasting media entering the news field. While newspapermen may view T.V. newsmen as "enter tainers" and the entire opera tion as "show business," Car ter pointed out that news cov erage at the network level has greatly improved. The broadcasting news me dia have "eroded the 'scoop element' in newspapers and are now dipping lightly into public service." People are turning more and more to ra dio and T.V. as the first source of their news, he said. "We just can't get into the homes as fast," Carter said. "However, the television com mentators stimulate appetite, and we in the newspaper field can then satisfy it put flesh on the bare bones of the news." Carter called for a greater emphasis on interpretation, and more thought-provoking mater ial in the paper. He also said there is a need to humanize the news; tell it in terms of the people. Envisioning the paper as a "Giant Community Bulletin Board," Carter said that the element of timeliness could be de-emphasized. "Mr. Kuralt can tell the 'what' and 'when'; I'll tell the 'why'." Petitions found invalid may be appealed to the Constitution al Council, Hays said. Appeals must be submitted within 96 hours before Tuesday's elec tion. However, Hays recommend ed appeals be made as soon as possible, since "it would be a physical impossibility" to have names included on the ballots in such a short time. Candidates with invalid pe titions may run as write-in candidates. Debate Format Features Questions And Answers By GLENN MAYS DTH Staff Writer The format for the debate of candidates set for 7:30 p.m. today in Gerrard was an nounced today by John Green backer, president of the Di -Phi Senate. The debate is being co -sponsored by the GM Current Affairs Committee. Greenbacker said the three candidates for editor of The Daily Tar Heel, Fred Thomas, Ray Linville and Alan Banov, presidential candidates, Bob Powell, Teddy OToole and Son ny Pepper and vice presiden tial candidate, Don Wilson will be the speakers in the debate. Greenbacker said the pres idential candidates will each be given six minutes for in troductory remarks and then the floor will be opened for questions for 30 minutes. The candidates for DTH ed itor will be given the same op- HERALD TRIBUNE Staffer Tom Wolfe win speak April 21 for the Carolina Symposium on the "American Dream." Pop Jet Set Man Wolfe Will Speak By JIM CHESNUTT AND ANDY MYERS The wearer of blue and yel low suits, the ruffled Edward ian member of the Jet Set, that card resembling a well polished Essex Tom Wolfe is sure to be the most un conventional speaker at next month's Carolina Symposium. Wolfe is not only becoming today's arbiter of Pop C u 1 ture through his outstanding magazine articles and essays, he is an integral part of it. Writing for the New York Herald Tribune, Wolfe's ver nacular ("Kandy Kolored Tan gerine Flake Streamline Ba bu") is known by his readers as The Wowie Style of jour nalism. Wolfe will speak April 21 for the afternoon session of the Symposium. His talk will ex plore "Myth and the Ameri can Dream." As a reflection of serio comic social commentary on portunity and when they have finished, Don Wilson will be allowed five minutes for in introductory remarks and 10 minutes will then be given for questions from the floor. U.P. vice presidential can didate Bill Purdy will not par ticipate in the debate. Purdy will be in Student Legislature presenting a bill concerning the residence college system. The SP candidate Bob Po well commented yesterday on the debate. "It's the best idea I've heard," Powell said, "to let everyone see toe candidates in action. The residence hall candidates meetings have been poorly attended and as a re- suit, little widespread publici ty has been given to the cam apign. This is unfortunate, since so much is at stake in this election for student govern ment next year." it 4 today's Pop Society, Wolfe's examination of the American Dream should have special ap peal to the Carolina social an imal, if the semi - surrealism is not beyond their fringe. The nighttime session follow ing Wolfe will concern itself with Myth and the South. A panel will be chaired by C. Van Woodward and Ralph El lison. The Wolfe "Wowie School" is growing fast. Wolfeian rhe toric boldly spurns the long standing rules of short, pun chy Pow; leads of the Heming way school, and slides through an unchecked flow of metaph-. ors, neologisms, ellipses and exclamations, enomatop oeia, references to Greek myths and Batman, Dorothy Kilgallen and Cholly Knicker boker, bootlegger - auto - ra cer Junior Johnson and the New York Society Social Re gister. Wolfe's career as a writer bounds over eight years, from a reporter on the Springfield (Mass.) Union to staff writer for the New York Herald Tri bune and a contributor to Es quire magazine. Newsweek recently called him "the most stylized, imag- inative, discussed, sought-after writer in the country." Wolfe, 35, was raised near Richmond, Va., and educated at Washington and Lee Uni versity. He pitched for the baseball team and decided to go into baseball. Two years of semi - pro ball might have influenced his later decision to return to school, but in any case, he re ceived a Ph.D. from Yale in "something called American Studies." Refusing a job as copy boy for the New York Daily News he moved on to the Washing- ton Post, writing what he was assigned but doing it in a sort of Wolfe - Pop way. His two - part article about The New Yorker magazine last spring criticized the pub lication for its "mummified aura" and called its staff writ ers Tiny Mummies.
