"I have every faith this drive) wil succeed," said Dr. Joseph W. Straley, local AAUP chairman. He predict ' ed that most money raised by ; his group will help pay for court printing expenses.

C. The "Rammers," who have held the North Carolina state ' title for the past three years, finished 14th in a field of 48 ROTC drill teams in last year's national competition. This year, 40 teams will be competing Friday. The teams will be judged on appearance and on their pro ficiency in regulation "mon key" drills. The regulation drill will be judged according to the pre cision with which each team performs a set of prescribed movements.

Pledges Clean Lot In Greek Week Activities ; J; i GREEK WEEK CO-CHAIRMEN Dan Howe (L) and Bill Nucciarone look over plans for the current clean-up campaign as some of al most 400 pledges clear a vacant lot on Frank- Straley declined to say how much money he had collect ed yesterday, but said the let ter - writing campaign would be the limit of his active fund raising project. In most law cases, Straley said, the expenses are split between lawyer and court costs. However, the law firm of Smith, Moore ,Smith, Shell, and Hunter has agreed to take the case at a nominal fee. Local AAUP treasurer Prof. David Brown was optomistic about the letter drive. "I am reluctant to give any spe cific figures right now," he said, "however, we have had a small but encouraging re sponse so far." The letter, signed by Stral ey, asks contributions "to this hopefully-final effort to rid ourselves of the Speaker Ban." "If the students win, the Speaker Ban Law will be de clared unconstitutional and void, restoring the situation to that traditionally enjoyed by the University until spring 1963 when the original Speak er Ban was enacted,!' the let ter reads. Donations should be sent to Brown, at 213-B Carroll Hall. A resolution adopted last month by the annual meeting of the Nortfi Carolina AAUP asks every chapter in the state to collect funds for the court case. The resolution passed unanimously. Sitterson Praises Drive By STEVE BENNETT DTII Staff Writer Acting Chancellor J. Car lyle Sitterson said yesterday that he is pleased that Caro lina students are taking such an active part' in the campus-wide clothing drive being held this week by House "A" Morrison. Today is the final day for the drive which began Wed nesday. Clothes can be placed today in boxes provided in most dormitories, fraternities and sororities and the Scuttle butt. The clothes will be present ed this afternoon at 4:30 to representatives of the Inter Council of Churches in this area and the local chapter of the American Red Cross by Chancellor Sitterson, Student Body President Bob Powell and Bill Bras well, chairman of the drive. Braswell urged tvery stu dent to take part in the drive by donating any old clothes that might be used by less fortunate members of the community. Sitterson said, "Carolina stu dents have always felt a re sponsibility toward the needs of this area and have wiling ly shared in meeting these needs. I am certain that the special need of clothing will find a ready response on the part of our students." John Ellis, Governor of Mor rison, has challenged the Nurses' Dorm to see which dorm can collect the largest amount of clothing. .....v.v.v.; P - ..v -.11,. . S - SPACEMEN Russell L.

Writing Clinic Offers Help By DAVID ROTHMAN DTH Staff Writer So you study yard, memor ize the texts and lectures, but still flunk the quizzes. And when you protest, your teach er insists you aren't able to communicate your thoughts properly. If that's what's happening, E. Bruce Kirkham may be able to help you. Kirkham, a part-time Eng lish instructor, directs a writ ing clinic here, teaching stu dents how to please their profs with the right kind of prose. "If you know a 'B's' worth, you should receive a 'B's' worth," Kirkham says, sym pathizing with students who know more than they are able to show their teachers. "But," he explains, "if you are out of the humanities and you are taking a course like history, the instructor may be more particular about your writing than your chemistry professor is." His class meets three times a week, and his students car ry "an average load of home work." Several graduate students are enrolled, though not vol untarily. Traditionally, cours es like Kirkham's have been ' N.r-, M - 9 j ! Z I lin Street. The clean-up campaign is part of the Inter-Fraternity Council's plan to improve the town's impression of Carolina fraternities. DTH Photo Bv Jock Lauterer. $ " v i-'-a.

He is willing to enroll any student whose native langu age is English and has com pleted freshman English. Stu dents can pre-register for the course; it's in the catalogue. He says the writing clinic's level of instruction is elemen tary enough to make sense to people without a good English background, yet through enough to be worthwhile. Kirkham stresses grammar, vocabulary, composition and spelling. The grammar book is a pro grammed one which provides question-and-answer exercises to be done outside of class. In the classroom he uses audio-visual aids, traditional instruction and experimental methods to clear up the mys teries of the subject, predicate and similar concepts. Although Kirkham doesn't claim to perform miracles or train students to write flaw lessly he says, "I can get them to the point so that if I say, 'That's a dangling par ticiple,' they at least know By STEVE BENNETT DTH Staff Writer Over 400 pledges of Caro lina's 24 social fraternities took part in a Greek Week work project yesterday to clean up the vacant lot on Franklin Street between the two service stations. The lot had been collecting debris for over a year when the last work was done on the motel planned for the spot. The pledges worked in shifts from 1-6 p.m. yester day, raking, burning and haul ing off over 12 truck - loads of trash. The clean-up project is the task selected for this year's Greek Week work day. "Each pledge class receives points for one hundred per cent par ticipation. These points go to ward the award to be given by the IFC Monday night for the best pledge class. Other pledge activities which are also contributing points toward the best pledge class award are scholarship, extra - curriculars, field day and carnival. The pledge class of Zeta Beta Tau has the highest Planetarium. The moon-bound Apollo space men will leave Chapel Hill today after their training session. through a special device to simulate space conditions.

See how long it takes for you to figure out what's wrong with this sentence: "There is no salt water fish in Carr Pond." You've spotted an error? Then you need Kirkham's course; the sentence is cor rect. The course costs $10 and does not carry credit. Even so, with its hints on how to write for that super-critical philosophy instructor, it may be just the thing to keep you out of Viet Nam.

Dancing is banned at the college. The protest was part of a campaign of the Better Poli tics On Campus Party. Stu dents are in the midst of a student government election campaign. Butch Pate of Dunn, party candidate for president of the student council, said dancing was spontaneous and was not designed to protest the contro versial ban on dancing at the Baptist college. A rock and roll combo call ed the Fabulous Five began playing about 8:10 p.m. in the main lounge of Reynolds Hall. At first only two or three peo ple danced, including Pate. But by 9:30 more than half the 500 students present sere dan cing. Jerry Baker of Kannapolis, campaign manager for the party, at first exhorted stu dents not to dance. But after a while he stepped up and said, "Let loose. Be Wake Forest students. This is an example of what we as Wake Forest stu dents can do if we unite." Pate described the demon stration as "a bunch of stu dents having a good time and taking a study break." Study This is the first visit of the team as a unit, though each of the men has attended individ ual training sessions at the planetarium. Planetarium Director Antho ny Jenzano said the group is working on "intensive recog nition and celestial training" for the Apollo mission. The major difference be tween the preceding Gemini and Mercury programs is that the men are concerned with specific stars throughout the entire celestial sphere to be used on the Apollo flights for navigation and experimenta tion. Preceding the session at the planetarium, the astronauts worked out in Wollen Gym by playing handball. Grissom said that this game was often played by the astro nauts for physical conditioning because "It is a good game for fast hand-eye co-ordination training." The men were in a jovial mood as they arrived at the planetarium yesterday after noon, but said they did not have time to talk to anyone since they wanted to spend all possible time in the plane tarium chamber. On the way to the chamber. they joked about their flight to the Raleigh-Durham airport. Grissom, the first to arrive came in a light blue NASA flight suit, but during the training session later, all the men wore civilian clothes. The booth that the astronauts are using also contains remote I See APOLLO On Page 6 ous Emphasis Committee, the Public Affairs Committee, the Peace Education Committee, the International Relations Committee and the Foreign Student Committee.
