Volume 74, Number 122 Newspaper Should Provide Service For Each Student A campus newspaper should serve each student and his needs. The Daily Tar Heel must increase its personal re lationship to the student body to make it more of a student newspaper. Ray Linville, candidate for DTH editor, seeks a newspa per that will work with the student body. He proposed a plan to increase the efficien cy of the DTH by having one key man on the DTH staff to coordinate the news from dif ferent areas of campus: one man for fraternities, sororities and residence colleges and halls; another for student gov-, eminent activities; another for' campus organizations. Linville, running as an in dependent, seeks a non - poli tical, unbiased DTH which is not obligated to one segment of campus but is responsible to the University as a whole and can criticize any area of campus activity fairly and freely. A more dynamic sports page is another of Linville's goals. He seeks better intramural re porting, better ACC coverage, service function for the stud or sports on campus, and bet Candidate Vs. Candidates Not Candidates Vs. Paper The faults of this year's Dai ly Tar Heel are many and are easily rcognizable by every reader of the paper. I do not support the policy which has governed the DTH's operation in many instances this year. In fact, I expressed my dis pleasure with the present in stitution when I resigned as news editor in November. But the issue of this cam paign is not one of candidate versus present newspaper. It is rather, a matter of candidate versus candidate. If one were to check the plat forms of editorial candidates for the past decade, he would find virtually the same pro mises being made by each of them. The concept of journa lism ethics the idea of an editor's responsibility to h i s readers has long been de fined. This is no candidate's orignal idea. Nor is there any new in the proposed means of carrying out these ideals. I do not contend then, that my ideas and goals are origin al. My platform has arisen from complaints and demands from students involved in every aspect of campus activity. It is my ambition to see that The Daily Tar Heel meet the needs Paper Should Supplement Dailies - Not Replace Them The Daily Tar Heel must be improved greatly, to regain its traditional position of prestige and respect on campus. It must concern itself more with student life, since it is a stu dent newspaper a supple ment, not a replacement for the state's dailies. I present for your approval a Five - Point Program of 1) More Complete Campus Cov erage, 2) Excellent Sports Re porting, 3) Fair, Unbiased Student Government Coverage, 4) More News of Cultural Af fairs, and 5) a Dynamic, Ar ticulate Editorial Page. To improve campus cover age, I will have a four-beat system of City, Administra tion, Student Government, and Campus Affairs Reporters who will know their beats well. The Campus Affairs Reporter will operate stringer system of Residence College Editors; a fraternity editor will report more fraternity news in the DTH; and a Women's Editor will cover women's organiza tions, dormitories and sorori ties. For excellent sports report ing, I plan to have athletes as advisers to the sports staff and interview the players more. I will have better intramural co verage, with pictures and much more emphasis on the Ray Linville ter use of the Associated Press in relation to national sports and collegiate games. The DTH should perform a serfice function for the stud- RAY LINVILLE ent body.

Not only is Linville acquaint ed with the technical aspects of journalism, but the has al so been involved in student ac tivities, since he feels that the editor of any campus newspa per should understand the wor kings of student organizations. He has served as an orienta tion counselor, on the MRC, on a class finance committee, on Student Governemnt com munications committee, as managing editor of the UNC Journalist, on the DTH staff, as a member of the UNC Press Club and Sigma Delt3 Chi pro fessional journalistic society. He is a candidate for the hon ors program in the School of Journalism. Linville, a junior from Win ston - Salem, is the most co plete candidate running for the office of editor. He is acquint ed with both student acitivites and journalism. He is the on ly candidate running who is endorsed by the Publications Board and is a rising senior. nomous and more objective. Let The Daily Tar Heel deal with issues more than indivi duals. Let the editorial page be an open forum for the expres sion of anyone's viewpoint, whether it coincide or clash with the editor's stand. I promise better sports cov erage; keeping tabs on the ACC; giving adequate atten tion to the minor sports; con centrating on better intramur al coverage with pictures. Bear in mind that if any editor is to accomplish the big tasks he proposes in a cam paign, he must be capable of coping with the innumerable small problems that hang ov er his head every day. The Daily Tar Heel is your newspaper. It affects or should affect you every day. I urge you to think very ser iously before you select a per son for editor. Consider the opinions of oth er journalists who have work ed with and for each of the candidates. Look at qualifica tions at experience, at accom plishment. Then choose the person who you believe can and will give you the best newspaper every morning next year. es of Student Government. For better cultural affairs coverage, informed columnists will review Playmakers plays, review free flicks and cover Graham Memorial functions better. I will hold a DTH AU Star Jazz or Folk Poll, so stu dents can help select enter tainers for Carolina. I will provide a weekly summary of concerts and entertainment in the dating area from Greens boro to Raleigh. A "dynamic, articulate edi torial page" means taking strong, easily - identifiable stands on issues in editorials, using columnists of all politi cal persuasions who are arti culate enought to stimulate in terest in campus and extra -campus issues, and extracting very few editorials from the state's dailies. I plan to use as many letters as possible, correcting them for typograph ical and spelling errors, leav ing out the embarrassing "sic." Now is the time for The Daily Tar Heel to rise up out of the trash cans on campus to provide more student news, entertaining reading and pro vocative articles on improv ing student life. If you approve of my plat form, I would greatly appre ciate vour vote on Tuesday. ALAN BANOV NORTH CAROLINA, Debates Draw Few Students To Gerrard By GLENN L. MAYS DTH Staff Writer The candidates spoke but few were there to listen when the debate of the candidates was staged Thursday evening in Gerrard Hall. About 40 persons including the candidates showed up to hear the platforms and pro posals of the candidates dis cussed and tested with ques tions. Moderator John Greenback er, Di-Phi president, com mented, "The turnout was an indication of the apathy sur rounding the campaign. The party members didn't even come." He thanked the body for the interest shown and told the persons attending to "get oth er people interested in the campaign. It's ridiculous that people show so little inter est in the spring elections." "The people elected are the representatives of the student body to the people of the state. Considering the crises of the past year, the student body would be well - advised to get to know all the candidates be fore they vote Tuesday." Greenbacker also noted that the party organizations should do all they can to stir more interest in the current cam paign. Earl Hadden, chairman of the GM Current Affairs Com mittee, co - sponsor of the de bate, said there has been more apathy in this campaign than any since he has been at UNC. "Nobody seems interested in the elections," he said. Debating were presidential candidates Teddy O'Toole and Bob Powell, and Fred Thom as, Ray Linville and A la n Banov, candidates for editor of The Daily Tar Heel. Don Wilson, SP vice presi dential candidate, also made some statements and answer ed questions concerning his platform. Sonny Pepper, independent candidate for student body president, and Bill Purdy, UP candidate for vice president, did not participate in the de bate. Both attended Student Legislature. Powell outlined four issues in his platform, including the speaker ban controversy, aca demics, residence halls, and campus publications. Powell said the lack of un derstanding of the University by the people of North Caro lina should be erased. "I want to convince the people of the state that there is something right here at UNC," he said. "Someone has to speak for the Student Body and the student Junior Injured In Car Accident John Redmon, a junior at North Carolina, was injured yesterday afternoon about 5:30 in a two - car collision. According to an eye-witness, the car driven by Redmon was beckoned by a policeman onto Raleigh Road from the Campus Carnival parking lot. Redmon's car collided with another automobile traveling on Raleigh Road. Neither car was damaged extensively. Redmon was taken by a friend to the student infirma ry and treated for cuts on his head. Bill Criticizes UNC Students A bill introduced Wednes day in the North Carolina State University student legis lature asked that the students at Chapel Hill "cease imme diately their fighting with the university administration over the invitations to Dr. Apthe ker and Mr. Wilkinson." The bill, entitled "Admin istration Support Resolution," reminds students that their primary concern should be the welfare of the university. It was introduced by gradu ate senator Roy Broughton, who attends State but lives in Chapel Hill. Bill Fishburne, Editor of The Technician, said that the bill had little chance of pass- age. There was no debate on the first reading. The bill is not in committee and will be re introduced, debated and vot td on Wednesday. SATURDAY. MARCH 19. 1966 Long .Restorin fm 1 u em 17 ts AH fit 1 L I Vr.. - I t CAMPUS CHEST Carnivals are a lot of fan for most of as. bat for others, well, pledges don't mind a little mod, do they? Especially when the reward is a sip of that foamy refresher. DTH Photo By Andy Myers Pig Chasing, Car Stuffing Highlight Campus Carnival By OB HARRIS DTH Staff Writer This year's Campus Carni val, judged by Student Body President Paul Dickson to be the best in UNC's history, was a big success. Over 25 organizations par t'cipated in yesterday's festiv ities. Activities ranged from a pig chase to a car stuffing contest. The Pi Kappa Phi occupied the first booth. They offered a free beer to anyone who could ride a skateboard 597 inches. They were plagued with "experts." In the next booth T?u Epsi lon Phi was charging 10 cents a shot to anyone who wanted to knock a bowling pin off a platform with a basebsll for a beer. They made over $10 the first hour. One of the dirtiest booths was manned by pledges from ATO fraternity. Pledges walk ed a narrow log above a mud dy hole. The public got two ch?nces for 25 cents to knock them into the mud with bal loons. They made the splash repeatedly. Next, one fraternity was of fering students chances to ram a surfboard down a chim ney as a parody on German's week activities. The game was too hard, so they had few cus tomers. One of the most imagina tive booths was manned by By PAT STITH DTH Managing Editor "Sing Out '66" has a lot go ing for it youth, enthusi asm and a clean-cut All-American image. But the biggest thing in its corner is the fact that nobody knows much about it or its parent, Moral ReArm ament. Inc., of New York. The President of the Consol idated University, William C. Friday, told the DTH he didn't know. Athletic Director Chuck Erickson. who invited the group to the campus, said he didn't know. Some members of the cast of "Sing Out" don't even know, according to Al len Starmont, a spokesman for 'Sing Out." Dr. Samuel S. Hill of the UNC Department of Religion is different. He told the DTH yesterday that Moral Re-Armament is a surrogate, a sub stitute religion combining cer tain elements of the Judio Christian religion on its mor al side with a kind of ulti mate respect for enthusiasm Signs V 1 r . ! 1 r4"V : ... AAaakitiMlM the KA's. They had six rats borrowed from the Dsychology department and were taking bets on them in a rat race. Winners got a beer. In the next booth coeds from Winston residence hall were holding a "strip show." Al though the girls who manned the booth were attractive, perceptive students deserted this booth as soon as they discovered nothing was com ing off. Scott College featured a chicken race. The chickens were named Dean Long, Gov. Moore, Otelia and Kitty. To everyone's surprise Kitty (aft er the Dean of Women) was the fastest. She broke loose and was caught just before she managed to enter the car stuffing contest. SAE fraternity had the "stinkingest" contest. They had two pledges who were tar gets for raw eggs. Many con testants hit dead on. Then there was the booth judged by Burl lyes to be the most imaginative in the c?r nival the Maverick Pokey. In this booth students from Craige residence hall offered to put any friend or enemy in jail for 10 cents. It cost 25 cents to get them out. To have them put into the stocks the charge was 25 cents. The charge was also 25 cents to have them released from the stocks. A News Nobody Knew About MRA as a way of life. "I do not think it is sub versive either on the right or the left," he said, "but I think it is socially unhealthy be cause it outflanks some issues and oversimplifies many oth ers. I am especially troubled by its identification with the All American middle class type and its Madison Avenue approach." So are a lot of other people. Father Cuthbert Allen, pres ident of Belmont Abby Col lege, told the DTH, "I think Moral ReArmament is a threat to organized religion this . is implicit in its literature. What bothers me is that I think it ("Sing Out '66") is an exploitable group if not now, then later." Buchmanism (after its foun der. Rev. Frank Buchman) has gathered momentum es sentially because it shows cer tain people a way to interpret their personal troubles with out endangering their status. It has been referred to as "the Salvation Army of the middle Ag Frivile Pact Gives Frats 'New Responsibility' By STEVE BEXNETT DTH Staff Writer Dean of Men William G. Long signed the new "Interim Fraternity Visiting Agreement" yesterday restoring women's visiting privileges to all 24 of UNC's social fraternities. Under the new agreement seven additional sec tions have been added to establish guidelines for the conduct of fraternity members. Each fraternity will be responsible for the actions of its members during and after the parties and also for the clean-ups the following morning. SL Passes Vetoed Bill By LYTT STAMPS DTH Staff Writer The Student Legislature un animously overrode Paul Dickson's veto of the bill which suspended a provision of the by - laws of student gov ernment in its Thursday night's meeting. Fraternities and soro rities which have approval of the Deans of Men and Wom en can get funds for televis ions under the bill passed two weeks ago. They do not have to submit their by - laws to the Student Legislature for approval. Dickson had vetoed the bill because he said it was unconstitutional. ' Other bills passed included the approval of Arthur Hays as chairman of the Elections Board; John Grotgen, Douglas O. McKeown, Bill Adams, Tom Ragsdale and Andrew Hal tom as members of the Elec tions Board; and appropriation of $200 to cover expenses for last spring's computerized course evaluation program. The vote on the chairman of the Elections Board was 18 to 0 but was not recorded as un animous. Objections came from UP Floor Leader Ed Wil son and Don Carson. In a statement to The Dally Tar Heel, they said, "We ob ject not to Mr. Hays, but to the manner in which President Dickson has used the Elec tions Board for the purpose of Dolitical pay offs. "This attitude on the part of the Student Body president is unprecendented and we hope we shall never see it again." The statement also said they felt that Hays has "probably devoted more service to Stu dent Government than any oth er person on campus.

It is 20th century evangel ism without the dogma and doctrine which distinguishes formalized groups. As a re sult, it can recruit members from all faiths without theo logical conflict. And recruit it does. "Sing Out" is a first class, profes sional production. It drew the largest crowd in the history of Charlotte's Coliseum and thou sands were turned away Wed nesday night.

There is no place for subtle philosophy in full-of-life MRA its all testimony and ac tion. For the DTH, the quest to learn about Moral ReArma ment led through parts of half a "dozen library books, two books and a magazine put out Founded February 23. 1893 reement ges Dean of Student Affairs CO. Cathey said he thinks the new agreement is a very fine doc ument and improves the old agreement by a great deal. "The IFC his put som teeth into the new agree ment," Cathey said. "I ap preciate them taking on this new responsibility." Cathey stated that there had been some confusion about the new agreement be ing made with Dean Long. Cathy said, "The new agree ment has been made with the University and not with any particular member of the ad ministration. The actions taken by the University were not a trial. It was the renewal of an agree ment with the fraternities that had obviously been ignored." Bob Kepner, assistant to the Dean of Men said, "The new agreement states that the re sponsibility of the actions of fraternity men will lie with each fraternity. "The power of the IFC has been inhanced because par ticular sanctions for violations of the agreement have been more clearly explained." The new visiting agreement wiil be in effect through this summer. A new agreement will be drawn up next fall as it must be every year. Dean Cathey said, "I feel that there will be a better sit uation for everyone concerned now that this new interim visiting agreement has restor ed women's visiting privileges, the IFC Court is beginning to gather information for its in vestigation of the incidents of last weekend. The investigation will in clude questioning of any per sons affected by the actions of any fraternity member last weekend.

We talked with the office of Pat McNamara, senior Sena tor from Michigan. Through him we had the Library of Congress prepare a nine page report on the pros and cons of Moral ReArmament. We talk ed with the director of Group Research Inc. of Washington. We attempted to get a finan cial statement on Moral Re Armament Inc. of New York from an accounting firm there. From these sources we con clude Moral ReArmament is built on emotional rather than intellectual conviction. It is prone to exaggerating its suc cesses and denying its short comings. It is over-sensitive to criticism and needs to add humility to its other "abso lutes." "Sing Out," we think, is a terrific show. When it comes here Monday be sure to go but take along a grain of salt.
