Mm Volume 74, Number 142 State To Answer Suit Soon-Bruton State Atty. Gen, Wade Bru ton said yesterday that North Carolina expects ? to file an answer ' "in the next several days" to the suit against the Speaker Ban. Bruton announced in a state ment that he met Thursday morning with Consolidated University President William C. Friday; Acting Chancellor J. Carlyle Sitterson; Deputy Atty. Gen. Ralph Moody; Asst. Atty. Gen. James F. Bullock; George F. Ragsdale, legal counsel to the governor; and Andrew A. Vanore Jr., mem ber of the attorney general's staff. He said they discussed the suit which was filed on April 1 at Greensboro's U. S. Mid dle District Court by 12 stud ents, Frank Wilkinson and Herbert Aptheker, but would not elaborate on what was men tioned at the meeting. The statement read that the defendants Friday, Sitter son and the University Board of Trustees were expected to file their answer "in the near future," Friday told the DTH yester Students Give Full Time In Intercollegiate Seminar By CAROL GALLANT DTH Staff Writer While UNC students interest ed in the Sympodium sessions were having to fit them into their regular school schedule, a group of 37 students, repre senting 30 colleges, were mak ing the Carolina Symposium a full - time business. The Symposium Intercolle giate Seminar is designed to initiate interaction between visiting Symposium speakers and various elected students from selected schools. Heads of the English, His tory, Political Science and Philosophy Departments at the schools received letters from the Symposium and contacted students they felt would be good participents. Participating students arriv ed Sunday representing such schools as Vanderbilt, Hollins, Harvard, Goucher liucknell & Emory. Each morning from 9:30 to 12 a seminar was held with one of the Symposium speakers. In the afternoons and evenings they attend the re gular Symposium sessions. Comments from the cross -section of visiting students va ried, most of them: favorable. Josie Bregenzer, a junior at Radcliffe majoring in English History and Literature, com mented on how many new to pics and thoughts she had been exposed to as a result of the Hot Weather Starts Water Fights Again Violations of residence hall rules are becoming more fre quent as the weather gets warmer, according to M R C Court chairman Bob Taylor. Four cases were tried last week and five are scheduled for next week. Three violators were turned in within an hour Tuesday. Taylor said most offenses re sulted from water ; fights and fireworks. Under the new MRC system, there is one court represent ative in each of the eight re sidence colleges. All violations in the college should be turn ed in to these men,. Other business discussed at the MRC meeting Wednesday night included plans for an Editor's RoundtaWe. This committee would be composed of the editors of eacn residence college newspaper. MRC Secretary Jhn Hough is heading the Roundtable and is seeking suggestions, from col leen residents lntvTested m newspaper work. Vice-President Gary Nor dan mentioned that efforts are underway to prevent "over- laDDinfi of social programs in Morrison, Ehringhaus and Craige Colleges. ; He said that since some week- ends featured combos in all three colleges and other week ends had no entertainment at all, there was need for organ day, "It was the first time that we had met to discuss the suit. Our business there was mainly procedural collect ing all relevant documents and minutes for the suit." Neither he nor Sitterson es timated when the answer would be filed. The answer must be filed by May 15, and The Cha pel Hill Weekly predicted Wed nesday that "the first hearing on the complaint is expected during the week of May 23," according to Herman A. Smith, Clerk of the court in Greens boro. Sittersontold the DTH, "We have no idea whether we'll be called or not. The attorney General's office will prepare and make the answer.

Bill McKeachie, senior phil osophy and English major at the University of the South, said "I have enjoyed the in dividual lectures and seminars and the dialogues that have developed, but I feel they have been inadequately related to each other. It could be better integrat ed. None of the speakers talk ed about the same things in terms of myth. This is a ra ther ambivalent attitude I sup pose because I certainly feel it has been profitable." The visiting students have also reacted to the UNC cam pus' and atmosphere. There was a concensus on the fri endliness of the students and the relaxed atmosphere. Josie Bregenzer, and Rick Gekoski, senior English Lit erature major at the Univer sity of Pennsylvania, commen ted that at most northern col leges, students are constantly tense, even if it's only trying to avoid getting hit by a bus on your way to class. "There is no sense of noise," said Josie, "and everyone walks to much slower. Jubilee '66: Greet It With Jubilation Carolina! By DAVID KNESEL Special To The DTH Final In A Series And lo, there was a great weeping and wailing, for they had been forced from their t,a en. The entire controversy of the 1965 Jubilee began quietly enough. On April 6, page one, of the Daily Tar Heel there appeared an article stating that Jubilee would be held in Ken an stadium. The decision was made by the Graham Memor ial Activities Board in response to heavy administrative urg- ings. There could be no repeat of the drunkenness, no repeat of "outsiders causing trouble, no obnoxious heckling, if Jubi lee were ever to be held again. The storm began to blow on the second page. The editor More Testimony Heard In Drill Instructor Case PARRIS ISLAND, S. C. (AP More testimony was heard today at the general courts martial of Sgt. Paul B. Rey nolds, a Parris Island drill in structor charged with mistreat ing Marine Corps recruits. . Sgt. Harry C. Kimbrough, an other Parris Island drill in structor, is also under similar charges. His courts martial will begin after Reynolds con cludes.

He blasted hot air on op ponents of the gag law, the war in Viet Nam, supporters of The Establishment," op ponents of "The Establish ment," students in general, and other intellectuals. Capp spoke to more than 1,600 students and faculty members, by answering ques tions rather than addrsssing the large audience. His remarks about the speaker ban were hissed by some, cheered by others but , no one was silent. , "I understand that you have invited Leon Trotsky to speak here," Capp said. "Why do you insist on burdening the (hisses) whom the University does not want to have here in its halls? (More hisses.) "You students have been ac cepted as the guests of this thundered: "This may mark the beginning of the end for an outstanding UNC Social Event. . . "The basic problem is an old one alcohol and its mis use ... on at least one oc casion the inebriates shared the spotlight with the perfor mers." But "If GMAB proceeds with its plans to move to Kenan Stadium and squelch all alco hol, it veritually will insure a decline in attendance. Any way you look at it, a splin tery seat in Kenan Stadium is far less desirable than a soft spot on G. M.'s lawn. "GMAB has demonstrated by its statement a lack of ul timate confidence in the stud ents of this University. We be lieve that they can police them selves and allow Jubnee to re tain its atmosphere. They should be given an opportun ity to do just that." The next day, an editorial correcting the first filled page two. Entitled "GMAB and Ju bilee: A New Assessment," it raised the following new points: (1) The audience would sit on grass in the stadium, not on wooden splintery seats. (2) The main purpose of policing the activities was to keep out unwanted outsiders and permit only guests with guest tickets. (3) Alcohol had alwyas been forbidden on the UNC campus and was not a right that GM AB was removing. But no amount of talk, rea son, or excuses could calm an angry UNC student body. The headlines of the next week tell the story: Dickson Asks Jubilee Talks, (banner head line) Students will Rally in Lower Quad to Protest Restric tions on Jubilee, "Jubilee Pro CHAPEL HILL, NORTH CAROLINA FRIDAY, APRIL 22, 1966 University which has been forced to turn many others down (more hisses), not enough of them (laughter)."

"They" was the overflow crowd that filled every one of the cushioned fabric seats of Memorial Hall, stood in the aisles, perched in the window sills and stood outside looking in. "Him" was Al "my maid en name is Kaplan'' Capp, who draws a comic strip call ed "Li'l Abner." And the reason they loved him was because he did what they had come to see him do: he blew the head smack dab test Fizzles Out: Other Rallies are Planned, "Dickson Hit for Decision to Back Move.

This ton gue - in - cheek bit undoubt edly cooled many heads: "Sonny Pepper, Jr. Class President, said, "All Kinds of soft drinks will be on sale, even soda water for anyone who might get a headache in the hot sun." Pepper said ice and cups will be available with water 'just in case anyone gets thirsty.' " Then it came. The laughs of the year'. On April 21, 1965, the Tar Heel headlined: "Jubilee Plans Plowed Under Again." According to Mr. Howard Hen ry, G. M. Director, it was im possible to have Jubilee in Ke an stadium because it had been plowed up by a tractor for spring football practice, and was "wall to wall dirt." Again, the orphan Jubilee was homeless. A search for another sport began. The Forest Theater was rul ed out too small. The Navy Field was large enough, but didn't have the right atmos phere. The Alderman-McKi-ver - Kenan mall was investi gated and turned down. Af ter administrative - student -GMAB consultatons the news was finally broken. "Godfrey Makes Decision in Chancellor's Absense: Jubilee is in Polk Place," proclaimed a banner head. The DTH was pleased, but warned: "Make no mistake, we're on trial. Jubilee is a self - bought gift to the stu dent because most GM funds come from students. A gift it is. But that which is given .can be taken away." Finally, on April 30 came the with a 300 horsepower V-8 Chevrolet engine bolted to his chest. Wolfe spoke to 1,000 peo ple yesterday in Memorial Hall. somewhere else, to a garage for instance. Capp added: "There never was an infant that didn't wet his pants to annoy his moth er." off the shoulders of just about everything he talked about Wednesday night at the Caro lina Symposium. To Capp, nothing is sacred, except maybe money and lau ghter. These were just about the only two things he didn't put down Wednesday. PEOPLE STARTED filing in to the auditorium about 7 p.m. to get seats for the 8 p.m. speech. "And then, about 7:30 , the auditorium started to fill," said Vicky Caldwell, who was selling dime programs for the symposium. See CAPP On Page 4 announcement, "President Dickson says "No Police at Jubilee." "It's here at last," wrote the Tar Heel. And there it was, in Polk Place, nicely roped off, almost exactly like the old spot Ju bilee, 1965, The Four Preps started off Friday night, gave the identical show of two years ago, and created some doubts as to the quality of the weekend. These doubts were wiped out the next afternoon by The Mo dern Folk Quartet, a witty group of entertainers who quickly warmed up their au dience. Then, at 8 that night, The Platters brought nostalgia, romance and delight to Jubi lee's largest crowd ever. Cou ples snuggled in the moonlight and surreptitiously poured drinks. Public display of alco hol was forbidden and obeyed. Johnny Cash the next day brought another record crowd for an afternoon. "Jubilee was a Success, Say Police," was the next comment in the DTH. "A Satisfying Ju bilee, concluded the editorial page. "Congratulations to the Students themselves," continu ed the DTH. "The conduct at the performances wasn't per fect, but no one expected it to be. But it was reasonably sane, which is all that had been asked." The student body had saved their traction. Jubilee will be held in Polk Place again this year, under the stars. This is what has evolved out of two extremes those of the early concerts and those of adminis trative concern over the repu taton of this, the nation's oldest and greatest state university. This is Jubilee, 1966. Greet it with jubilation. Wolfe In Symposium Talk HaBBine ExMosio Is What's HaBBe: By BILL AMLONG DTH Staff Writer Tom Wolfe told a thousand people in Memorial Hall Thursday afternoon about a "happiness explosion" that is happening. Wolfe is a 34-year-old Yale Ph.D. who makes his living by writing words in the "New York Herald-Tribune" and "Esquire Magazine" like nobody else has ever written them before. He has been described as the biggest thing to happen to American letters in a very long time. Tom Wolfe Pops American Dream By ANDY MYERS DTH Staff Writer I am bent sharply forward. My rear end is plastered to the seat of a gold speckled alligator - like Harley "74," with a '63 Chevy V-8 between my legs. Baby Jane on my back. I am on my way to Vegas to see Cassfus Clay pummel an opponent to the delight of Cosa Nostra fans. Picture this. According to Tom Wolfe, in a very few years that's what our politi cal and intellectual leaders might see when they look out tfc eir Washingtonian windows , because Americans are getting out of their society, soon to reach a "pure state" by play ing their ultimate roles, ob taining their own American Dream. Wolfe told "a Memorial Hall crowd of 1,000 yesterday aft ernoon that men like Hugh Hefner, king of the Playboy empire, are models of the withdrawal symptoms our so ciety is beginning to suffer. "Hefner has reached the pure state," Wolfe said. "He is now a recluse; he never leaves his house, except for ceremonial purposes, like christening new Playboy Pent houses." Hefnerish "pleasure pal aces" are not only a phenom enon of our times, but a symp tom of things to come.

Surfers in their California garages, Phil Spector with his four karate body guards, mo tor cycle fanatics who sport alligator suits to match their machines, all indicate the "very wacky'' position Ameri ca is in today. After a brief stay in Eng land, Wolfe returned to this country convinced that Ameri can affluence is the deciding factor in the revolt going on in our middle class. "England is still held in the grip of caste and status," Wolfe says. But in America there is "the most hilarious situation this country . has ever been in." Our politicians are still interpreting events in the old contest of the 1930's, while in the past six or seven years the great mass of peo ple in the United States are busy living up to their "myth of the glamour role." Distinguishing a role from a position in life, Wolfe said wo men have never fallen prey to things like wearing uni forms to work. Secretaries and female business tycoons alike still feel their dominant role is being a woman. They don't wear uniforms, like bankers or plumbers. But there are pockets of so ciety Las Vegas, Holly wood, the rock 'n roll world, where people are stepping out See Dream On Page 4 Founded February 23. 1893 MUST JL He showed up for the Thurs day afternoon session of the Carolina Symposium wearing a double - vested, wide - la peled, vested, vanilla - colored suit, an unbelievable blue-and-green "Liverpool" tie and brown suede buckled shoes. He was supposed to talk on "Myth and the American Dream." He came closer to the subject than any of his predecessors. The American Dream, Wolfe said, represents to most peo ple a chance to "beat the system." "It has given rise," he said, "to a whole group of whacky mythologies." "I think it all goes back to the tremendous amount of money that was pumped into this country since World War II ... I don't think, anybody realizes how affluent we are," he said. This affluence is shown in different ways, Wolfe said. It is shown for example by peo ple crowding around counters to buy useless but ever-so-ex- pensive trinkets such as "trash cans with emerald strips up the side." It's also shown, he said, by the "cosmopolftan' quality displayed by teenage gangs that drive to their rumbles in different cities, unlike their New York counterparts who operate on a nearly "feudal" system of fighting between guys from the next block, or "turf." The main thine money is helping Americans do, though, is to "drop out" and play whimsical "roles." Peo ple are even dressing for the roles now, he said- Surfers, for examples, are "declaring themselves to be 'Monks of the sea.' " The surfers are examples of people who drop out of the job system the system that use to issue status rankings by what kind of work you do. There is a new thing now and it is called "Age Segre gation" and the surfers are a good example of it because it's "a life that can be lived only by people between 16 and 22." But, he said, the system has its own "built in drawbacks." "Even some of these kids are See WOLFE On Page 4 Glee Club Sets Sullivan Show Presentation The Ed Sullivan Show will feature the Glee Club of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Sunday, June 12, ov er nationwide facilities of the National Broadcasting Sys tem, it was announced here today.
