Communist Claims
U.S. 'Aggressive'
By ANDY MYERS
DTH Staff Writer
A leading Communist from
the Soviet Union told UNC stu
dents yesterday that the Unit
ed States employs an "exploit
ing and aggressive kind of im
perialism in the Viet Nam
war.
The Soviet Communist, invit
ed here by the political sci
ence department, spoke to
three classes and to a public
gathering last night in the
VLADIMIR ALEX AND ROV
Morehead Planetarium.
Dr. Vladimir Alexandrov, a
history teacher at the Mos
cow State University, was
flown to North Carolina at
the request of Prof. Gordon
Cleveland.
His appearance was permit
ted because he comes under
the "educational purposes"
clause of the adopted speaker
ban law.
Chancellor J. Carlyle Sitter
son, who approved Alexan
drov's appearnce, has also ap
proved an invitation to Dr. Ha
nus Pappousek, a scientist
from Prague, Czechoslovakia,
and now at the University of
Denver.
He will also speak to class
es on specific subjects in May.
Since he was given the power
last month Sitterson has den
ied forums to Dr. Herbert Ap
theker, a Communist, and to
Frank Wilkinson, head of a
committee to abolish HUAC.
Alexandrov told a press con
ference in Caldwell Hall that
he teaches Russian students
that this country is a "capi
talist and imperialist" nation.
"The main difference be
tween our educational systems
is that our education is based
on a Marcist - Leninist ideo
logy," he said.
Dressed in a conservative
black suit, Alexandrov gave
the appearance of an articu
late historian. He is in this

RALEIGH (AP) Gov. and
Mrs. Dan Moore joined about
2,000 state employes and other
spectators early Tuesday for
the "Sing-Out '66" songfest on
the steps of the State Legisla
tive Building.
At the end of the 15-minute
program, which included orig
inal compositions, Gov. Moore
thanked the young people for
coming and commended their
purpose. He urged the state

"It is strange to be in a
Student community again af
ter 11 years of teaching," Ale
xandrov commented. His Rus
sian degree of "Candidate of
Historical Sciences" is "a lit
tle higher" than our Ph.D.,
he said.
Alexandrov does no teaching
in this country. "I spoke at
and Oberlin College (Ohio), but
I do only research work here."
The Soviet Union views the
United States's position in
Viet Nam as "imperialist" the
Communist party member sta
ted, in response to a question.
Asked about the official So
viet position concerning Red
China in the war, Alexandrov
said the war was not due to
China but to the United States.
"This war must be stopped
and a settlement must be rea
ched," he said.
Religion in Russia "does not
play a very big role," accord
ing to the Russian. He denied
there was a "supression" of
organized religion but said
"religion is a private business
in each person."
His country is opposed to
our private enterprise ideolo
gy, he said, but he did not at
tempt to explain this further.
Describing the U. S. as "im
perialist," he said. "By im
perialism we mean that the do
minant position in your coun
try goes to private monopol
ies." Alexandrov has a wife and
child in Moscow. He left Rus
sia last September and plans
to return in June.
Commenting on his talks
earlier in the day to Carolina
students in history and politi
cal science classes, the Rus
sian felt their reaction "was
very friendly."
Earlier, he evaded questions
about the Soviet Union during
a question period. A student
asked him "why religion is
suppressed in Russia?"
"You must ask those people
who told you. I didn't tell you
about it," he said. "Nobody
supresses religion in our coun
try. According to the consti
tution and laws everybody has
a right to religious beliefs."
He described the Soviet form
of government as a "social
ist democracy," adding "there
are mistakes in our political
system. I mean all the years
of Stalin, when there were
some things against our demo
cracy." He did not explain
this further.
"Why were there so many
Russians coming to the U. S.
after World War II?" a stu
dent asked.

to North Carolina. Titled "I

cluded references to North Car

and concluded:
"Tennessee has her rockets

Will Hold
Meet Here
By BOB HARRIS
Members of "Sing-Out '66"
will hold a meeting in Ger
rard Hall today at 10:30 a.m.
to answer students' questions
about Moral Re-Armament
and the "Sing-Out."
Accoring to "Sing-Out" Co
Producer Steve Caldwell, the
"Sing-Outs" grew out of a
weekly program produced for
students attending the Moral
Re-Armament school last sum
mer at Makinaw Island, Mich.
Caldwell said he found that
students wanted to say some
thing in a fresh way, "so in
stead of marches and sit-ins
they decided to hold 'Sing-
He first came into contact
with MRA at a MRA produced
musical in Los Aneeles. He
musical in Los Angeles. He
was in college at the time.
Caldwell and his two broth
ers, all residents of San Ma
rino Calif, "felt the world was
at stake and decided to do
something about it."
"MRA has no set political
views," Caldwell said. "It is
organized in such a way as to
represent all ethnic groups
and all religions."
Caldwell said MRA had
"never been a pacifistic organ
ization." In answer to those who have
questioned MRA's relation to
fascism, he said: "It is sig
nificant to note that the Ge
stapo banned MKA in Ger
many during WW II.
"In fact," he continued,
"MRA is the answer to all
'isms'." Our purpose is to
create a new image of the
United States to the world
more than that, to create a
better world.
"This will take a complete
change and this change can
only be based on absoltute
moral standards."
Caldwell said "Sing-Out"
members did not pretend to be
."angels with flapping wings.
"We don't pretend to know
all the answers, either," he
added. "The real fight is to
raise a generation with a real
aim and purpose. If we do this
generation lives and believes
these ideas compellingly
enough, then the situation that
needs changing will change.
"We hear talk about the
'Great Society, but unless we
work to build it, we will nev
er have it."
Barbette Knight, a Negro
"Sing-Out" member from San
Bernadino, Calif., agreed with
Caldwell on MRA and the
"Sing-Out."
She said she joined MRA
because she saw a lot of
things wrong in the world and
nobody doing anything about
it.
"We always hear about
what the Russian youths are do
ing, or about what the Chinese
youths are doing, but we nev
er hear about what the Ameri
can youths are doing unless
they are rioting or staging
marches or sit-ins. I felt it was
time to do something about
it."
"The MRA," Barbette con
tinued, "is a group in which
young people can work to im
prove America's image."
She said she became ac
quainted with MRA through a
high school assembly program.
A program will also be held
in conjunction with today's
question and answer session,
but its content has not been
announced.
W
they are Sammy Howell, Terry Forrest and Dave Mc-Fadden.

G.M: For Returns
By WAYNE HURDER
DTH Staff Writer
It was a slow campaign and
the same went for the returns.
Counting started about 9 p.m.
with about 15 tables in Roland
Parker Lounge of Graham
Memorial, each filled with
three counters.
They went about their work
slowly, double checking every
ballot and reicounting votes
when totals didn't tally.
In the Rendezvous Room of
GM, two girls continued work
ing on a seven foot tall re
turns' board with the name of
every candidate.
About 10 returns began to
be written on the board and
people crowded around the
door of Roland Parker whis
pering rumors.
Bill Purdy, UP vice presi
dential candidate, was the first
of the politicians to show. He
started the night off anxiously
while fellow party-member Don
Carson exuded confidence.
Carson's confidence was well
based. Early returns showed
Purdy to be running strong. His
victory was assured after
about 75 per cent of the vote
was in.
About the time things eased
up for him pressure began to
build for the others. Towards
11 p.m. the halls and the Ren
dezvous Room began to fill with
anxious supporters.
Upstairs in Roland Parker,
Paul Dickson sat at a table

way radio) where they were
posted on the board for 60 or

About 11:30 p.m. definite
trends began to take shape and
onlookers became either jubi
lant or downcast.
Neil Thomas, UP chairman,
stood near the board snapping
his fingers at every favorable
return in a nervous confidence.
Pepper and SP members
either didn't come or remain
ed silent through the whole
evening as the presidential
race shaped up into a Powell

Upstairs legislative candid
ates and their friends waited
nervously for a count to begin,
while the word spread that no
legislative votes would be
counted until the next day.
Their number slowly dwindled
as they headed back to their
dorms for sleep, leaving the
others pacing the floor and
shifting from foot to foot as
returns filled the chart.

Purdy Wins VP Position;
Editorship Race Close
By GLENN MAYS
DTH Staff Writer
Bob Powell and Teddy
OToole will be in a run-off
election for president of the
student body, elections board
officials said last night.
With about 75 per cent of the
votes counted Powell was lead
ing OToole by about 200 votes.
Independent presidential candi
date Sonny Pepper had polled
about 20 per cent of the vote.
Powell had obtained about 42
per cent and OToole 38 per
cent.
The only sure winner was
Bill Purdy, UP candidate for
vice president. He was declar
ed the winner after about 20
per cent of the votes were tal
lied. He had opened up a 500
vote margin over Don Wilson.
Fred Thomas, with about 75
per cent of the votes tallied,
appeared to be the winner in
the editorship race for the Daily
Tar Heel. Alan Banov was
running in second place with
Ray LLnville coming in third.
Whether or not a run-off is nec
essary will be determined to
day. Powell and OToole issued
statements last night saying
they would wage strong cam
paigns during the coming
week.
"The results are incom
plete," Powell said, "but it ap
pears that a run-off will be
necessary. I'm going to con
tinue to seek the active sup
port of everyone for the elec
tion next Tuesday and I want
to thank everyone who has
supported me thus far in the
election. The campaign is not
over yet. I plan to work even
harder this next week to be
elected."
OToole said he felt that the
election was close because he
had not been able to see every
one. "During the coming
week," he said, "I want to tie
up the loose ends and win next
Tuesday. This is all coinci
dent upon the fact that there
will be a runoff. I'm very
happy with the support every
one has given me and I hope
that we will be able to main
tain this support and add
enough to win."
Ed Wilson, UP floor leader,
said he feels OToole will win
in the run-off.
Neil Thomas, UP chairman,
said, "I'm pleased with the
results of the elections. The
run-off depends on the Pepper
vote, and there's a good chance
we can corner the Pepper
vote."

Course For
Prof -Haters
If you are the type who likes
to take his frustrations out on
other students or even a pro
fessor, then Speech 44 is the
course for you.
Normally the course is kind
of cut and dried five speech
es a day . . . several days a
week.
But the assignment in one
section this week was for each
student to select a controver
sial topic from The Daily Tar
Heel and deliver a short
speech on it.
That is not such a bad as
signment, except that the
speaker was to be confronted
with heckling from his audi
ence ... a type of on-the-job
training, I suppose.
The heckling got off to a slow
start, but after one person was
bombarded with paper balls
balls and another was hooted
off the platform it was "on."
One speaker, expecting the
worse, threw lollypops to each
listener when the "static" be

the day before the election.
Counting of the ballots did
not begin until shortly before
9 p.m. although polls closed at
6 p.m. Elections board chair
man Arthur Hays said the slow
counting of ballots shows a
definite need for reforming
the entire election process.
'The process is too de-centralized."

Draft Test Set
For UNC In May
By STEVE BENNETT
DTH Staff Writer
College men eligible for the
draft will be considered on
their class standings and on
the results of the Selective Ser
vice test to be given here
May 14 and 21 and June 3.
The cut - off point concerning
class standing has not yet
been decided.
William H. McCachren, head
of the Selective Service Sys
tem for North Carolina, said,
"The, national headquarters of
the Selective Service in Wash
ington, D. C, has notified me
that the criteria, including the
cut - off point for class stand
ings, concerning the draft will
be issued around April 1. As
soon as I receive it, I will
send it out to all the local
draft boards."
Raymond E. Strong, direc
tor of the Office of Records
and Registration said the class
ranking to be used for the
draft boards will not include
the grades of women students.
"This will lower the class
average of all classes, but will
especially affect the junior
and senior class rankings,"
Strong said.
This list of cumulative av
erages will not be compiled
until the end of this semes
ter. It should be finished by
the middle of July.
The class rank of the stu
dent will not be sent to the
local draft board until the stu
dent requests that it be sent
to be included in material the
board in using for considering
him for service.
Any student wishing to take
the Selective Service Test must
obtain information and appli
cations from the local draft
board and have the applica
tion postmarked by April 23
and sent to the Science Re
search Associates of Chicago.
The applications have just
been received by the state
board, but will be in the hands
of the local boards by Mon
day. Chapel Hill does not have a
draft board. The closest boards
are in Durham at 302 Morris
Street and in Hillsborough on
Churton Street. Students can
secure applications from these
draft boards or from any oth
er draft boards.

they take, they're not worth

ever, he said he did not feel
this would be done.

will not themselves determine
eligibility for deferment.
McCachren urged all stud
ents to take the test.
The applicants will have the
choice of where they want to
take the test, but the Chicago
research firm will assign the
date.
The 150 - question multiple
choice test can ve taken only
once. It lasts three and a half
hours and will last from 9 a.m.
12:30 p.m. on the three dates
it is offered.
The test includes sections on
comprehension of short expo
sitory passages, understanding
of word meanings and of re
lationships between words,
ability to read simple graphs
and skill at solving mathe
matical problems.
In this same type of test
given from the Korean War
through 1961, students scoring
in the 70th percentile were us
ually deferred.
Local draft boards in Wash
ington believe the standards
will be similar to those pre
viously used.
Applicants are urged to an
swer all questions on the test,
even if they guess at some,
since scores are based only
on the number of correct an
swers. Each applicant will be fin
get - printed when he reports
for the test. No one who is
without his Selective Service
registration certificate or notice
of classification will be ad
mitted. If someone is found cheat
ing, he will not be allowed to
finish and his local draft
board will be notified of the
reason.
There have been many spe
culations as to where the cut
off point for class ranking
would be in connection with
the draft. The greatest esti
mate has been that the bot
tom half of the college men
will be drafted.
The class averages for the
past semester including wom
en was 2.176 for the freshman
class, 2.156 for the sophomore
class, 2.250 for the junior class
and 2.281 for the senior class.
The cumulative class rank
ing sent to the draft board will
be lower since the women's
predominantly high grades will
be excluded.
