The curriculum at UNC would include courses in va rious departments which re late to the American culture, civilization, background, and character. Courses in English, history, economics, music, philosophy, political science, religion, art, anthropology, geography, dra matic arts, education, journa lism, sociology, city planning, and radio, television and mo tion pictures have all been pro posed to be included in the degree requirements. Lyon, who holds a Ph.D. in American Studies from Min- Debate Team Officers Last week the UNC Debate Team chose its officers for next year. Those elected were: Craig Bradley, president, jun ior; Barry Schochet, fresh man, vice - president; Ken Starling, freshman, secretary; Victor Rattner, freshman, treasurer. Baddour Named New YDC Head Phil Baddour, a law student from Goldsboro, was elected president of the UNC Young Democratic Club Wednesday night. In his acceptance speech, Baddour outlined the purpose of the college YDC as being "the promotion of the Demo cartic Party and its ideals and principles to the student com munity and as providing an opportunity for its students to learn about and participate in the political process. He promised to hold regular monthly meetings and to send monthly newsletters to all members. He also plans a se ries of informal dinner meet ings with people who are "well- informed on the political scene. Baddour stressed an intense effort to activate the many undergraduates who have shown interest in YDC work. Also elected were Henry Babb, Ahoskie, graduate vice president; Don Wilson, Birm ingham, Ala., undergraduate vice president; Jerry Rutledge, Germanton, secretary; and Martin Lancaster. Goldsboro, treasurer. Need We Say More? nesota, stressed "this is not a superpatriot program as some people think." He said a more descriptive term for the pgoram would be "inter disciplinary" in that it would force the student to relate a diverse range of knowledge to obtain an overview of the American culture. The student must make a synthesis," Lyon said. "He may be asked to consider the bearing of a novel and its re levance in American politics." The program here would be open to undergraduates who have not yet reached their se cond semester sophmore year, Lyon continued. "This would leave time to in troduce the student to the as sumptions and methods of American Studies as early as possible in his college career," he said. About 70 American colleges and universities now have Am erican Studies programs. Ly on cited those at Amherst, Yale, Harvard, and Princeton as the most outstanding. The program would not be attached to any one depart ment, Lyon said, although he would be advisor to the Amer ican Studies majors. At least two new courses would be created for the new curriculum. The first, a sopho more course, would be an in troduction of American Studies. The second would be open to seniors, and would be a semi nar to rotate among the par ticipating departments from year to year. "This is not an honors pro gram," Lyon said, "but maj ors will be encouraged to con tinue a topic on which they will elect to concentrate dur ing the seminar." 'Lyon said that business and the teaching profession are looking for students with "this broad kind of back ground." He said the program would offer "a grounding in vari ous aspects of American life and thought, and demands of (the student) that he learns the techniques of relating these Everett Case Hospitalized Everett Case, former head basketball coach at X.

The nature of his ailment was not disclosed. thoughts and trends so that they illuminate one another." Lyon said the only compar able curriculums at UNC are the programs for a B. S. In dustrial Relations and a B.A. in International Studies. How ever, these programs take part in only two departments, and the American Studies pro gram would require tr? coop eration of more than 10 departments. Hod. AG Position By LYTT STAMPS DTH Staff Writer Frank Hodges received ap proval of Student Legislature last night as attorney general. The vote was 25-23. George Isherwood broke from his fellow University Party legislators to vote in fa vor of Hodges's appointment. Tommy Cannon (UP) abstain ed and Frank Longest (SP) was absent. Other legislators voted with their party SP in favor of the appointment and UP op posed. Rules were suspended so that the appointment could be considered before other busi ness came before the body. The legislature debated over an hour before the vote was taken. Two times there was an attempt made to close de bate before it finally conclud ed. In the Ways and Means Com mittee meeting Wednesday night, the vote was 4-3 against the Hodges appointment. That vote followed straight party lines. Eric Van Loon (SP), a mem ber of the committee, told the committee Hodges had demon strated his competency to hold the position. He said that even though Hodges had not been on the attorney general's staff he has defended more cases than some members of the staff. He said Hodges does kno the present staff and can work with them. Bob Sheppard (UPX said he thought the committee should consider Attoi ney General John Ingram's objection to Hodges. Van Loon replied that In gram's objections might be based on the fact that he has not worked closely with Hod ges. Charles Mercery UP) said, "I feel Hodges would not be able to work as well with stu dent leaders and other students as someone else." Sandy Hobgood (SP) replied that the question before the Get Come If you've got your date, got your liquor and got your umbrella, you should be just about ready to join in Jubilee festivities today in Polk Place. "Increasing cloudiness . . . and thundershowers" were predicted by the weatherman, and if such a catastrophe should occur, the Bitter End Singers will stage their show in Car michael Auditorium tonight at 8, and the Tassles will do their rocking in the Tin Can. The final decision on the location will be made this morn ing and signs will be posted at Polk Place to notify everyone. The announcement will also be broadcast over local and near by radio stations. If the weather does clear up, tonight's concert will be held in Polk Place as planned, and the dance will be held in the parking lot between Bynum Hall and Caldwell Hall. "Charade" starring Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant will be shown in Carroll Hall tonight at 6, 8 and 10 p.m. Honor System Week-Fourth Long: 'Our Honor Worst -- Except For Others' By WILLIAM G. LONG UNC Dean of Men Of all the types of Univer sity discipline the Honor Sys tem is the worst except for all of the others! This para phrase of Churchill's state ment about democracy ex presses the frustrating super iority of the system under which our academic commun ity lives. Given all of its weak nesses, it is better than its al ternatives. Debunking the Honor System is a popular pasttime. Some Gets committee was the competen cy of Hodges, not whether might be someone else to fill the job. "We must approve or dis approve the appointees, not make them," Hobgood said. The vote of the committee was tied before Chairman Steve Salmony (UP) cast the deciding vote against Hodges. In voting, he said, "Bob (Powell, Student Body presi dent) is interested in imple menting his program. He feels he should have the man he can work with. The question is whether the rest of stu dents can work with the ap pointee. "I am more concerned with students than with Powell's program. I don't want to take any chances with a single stu dent."

Set For Raie By STEVE BENNETT DTH Staff Writer people scoff at its idealism; others are cynical about its practicability; many categori cally state it doesn't work. These points of view make no sense to me. They are based upon certain misconceptions and misunderstandings about the Honor System. If the Honor System is in tended to reflect life as it is, then, of course, it is inade quate. But since when did the University give up its mandate to teach a higher and better way. Have ideals no place in the academic community? My answer is that they do. 40 Faculty Members Listen As Yugoslav Diplomat Speaks By BILL AMLONG DTH Staff Writer A Communist speaker came to this University Wednesday night, addressed a faculty group and left. Quietly. Cvijeto Job, press and cul tural attache to the Yugoslav ian Embassy in Washington, D. C, spoke to about 40 per sons in the faculty lounge of Morehead Planetarium. The most striking thing about the evening was the lack of fanfare that attended it. The crowd mostly facul ty members and their wives less than half-filled the sec ond - story room upon whose walls hang pictures of former presidents of this University. Noticibly absent were the student protestor - types who flocked to hear the sidewalk speech of Marxist Theoritician Herber Aptheker, who was banned from this campus un der the provisions of the Speaker Ban Law. The gist of Job's speech was that the state really is wither ing away under Yugoslavian Communism just like Karl Marx said it should. Yugoslavia, he said, is not an "Iron Curtain" country and never has been since World War II." "We've pledged ourselves to eventually do away with the Communist Party and are presently doing so," he said. "In the last 10 years," he said, "the party has been dis lodged 60 or 70 percent." Yugoslavia's Communism is of a constitutional breed, he said. Its aim is a "pluralistic society" with socialism as its basis. When the Communist Party finally does wither and die, he said, party members such as himself will "be just in a general framework of a con stitution that upholds social ism. . . "There'll be no need for an organization to be the guardi an of the concensus." Already, Job said, Yugo slavia has academic freedom ubilee 0 Oi Howard Henry, direcfl dor of policy on drinking will bd the people who come with until they leave.

Marshall Tito, however, is "sacrosanct," Job said. To Yugoslavs, Tito is "Wasjhing ton, Jefferson, Lincoln I and FDR altogether," he said. Except for Tito, though, all high government officials have a maximum tenure cf four years.

The dance will be over at midnight and all women stu dents have late hours extend ed until i a.m. Many students have express ed concern over the small amount of time that has been allowed between the afternoon and evening performances to morrow in order to Cat din ner. Henry said, "We realize this two - hour break does com press the supper hour, but this should increase the number of people eating after the con cert. 'The main reason for the time schedule is the other par ties being held after the eve ning shows by fraternities and residence halls." Most of the popular local restaurants are not making reservations for this weekend See JUBILEE On Page 4 explained. Elections are also being lib eralized, he said. "We had tight - fisted, abso lute power in Yugoslavia," Job said. "And we dislodged it." Job said that Americans la bor under a misconception about the need for more than one party in a nation. After World War II, he said, Yugo slavia decided against a mul ti - party system. "It would lead us, as it had before, into disaster," he said. spare of the Morehead Planetarium Lambert i ni r 1 1
