Ban Is Still Attracting Disputes
Today, with the law finally
in a federal court, the situa
tion hasn't changed one iota:
disagreement surrounds the
case.

bly see no agreement."
Today, the suit filed a few
months ago by 12 student lead
ers from the University lingers
in the Middle District federal
court in Greensboro, waiting
for both sides to agree on the
"facts."
With the student leaders, the
case is clear. They filed the
suit after the administration
refused to allow either of two
controversial speakers
Frank Wilkinson and Herbert
Aptheker to speak on
campus.
After repeated refusals, the
two men spoke at different
times across the knee - high
stone wall bordering the nor
thern edge of the campus.
While Aptheker stood on the
off-campus side of the dirt-covered
wall, about 3,000 stud
ents stood and lay on the grass
on the other side.
The plaintiffs the 12 stu
dents who filed suit to have
the law declared unconsitu
tional say many of their
fellows were unable to hear or
see the two controversial snea
kers because of the conditions
surrounding the appearances.
The defendants, including
Chancellor J. Carlyle Sitter
son and Consolidated Univer
sity President William C. Fri
day say that isn't so.
The law as it passed origin
ally, forbade known Commun
ists and persons who had
pleaded the Fifth Amendment
in loyalty cases from speak
ing on campus. As amended
NET Fugitive Working In
A tall, lanky University of
North Carolina graduate stu
dent, who has spent most of
his college life "running from
basketball coaches," will
spend the summer in the hin
terlands of Viet Nam assist
ing with welfare programs
sponsored by the United Stat
es. Lawrence "Buck" Grinter
by a special session of t h e
General Assembly, the law
placed the authority for regu
lating speakers in the hands
of the trustees, then into the
hands of the administrators.
"The defendants will not sti
pulate that this is a class ac
tion or that the plaintiffs re
present the classes," he said.
In legal jargon, it means that
the defending attorneys
from the state Attorney Gen
eral's Office say the 12 stu
dent are acting on their own,
not on behalf of their organi
zations. "The plaintiffs submit that
the various officers do repre
sent their respective organiza
ions," Smith added.
'The defendants' counsel al
so say that they want to show
something about communism
and the nature of the Com
munist Party," Smith said.
"I protested that we could not
try the Communist Party in
this case."
The defendant's counsel also
wants to offerer evidence on
the state legislature's actions
since 1963. There is disagree
ment as to when and where
Frank Wilkinson pleaded the
Fifth Amendment.
"We are not going to agree
about what listeners could hear
and what listeners could not
hear, at least from the dis
cussion in the conference,"
Smith said.
Smith's letter refers to a
conference with Colonel Will
iam Joyner, the state's attor
stands a towering 6'6" and is
not likely to go unnoticed
even in the remote areas of
Viet Nam.
A total of 340 graduate stu
dents applied for the State De
partment program. The 30 stu
dents were selected! following
two screening processes and
clearance by the Central In
telligence Agency.
A native of Gainesville, Fla.,
Buck is working on a masters
degree in international rela
tions at UNC. He plans to
write his thesis on some fa
cet of the Viet Nam conflict.
Buck was graduated in 1963
from the University of Flori
da, where he served on the
freshman basketball team. Ar
med with a degree in mathe
matics and political science,
he joined the Peace Corps and
was sent to Sierra Leone, Af

Second Honor Violation
Draws Council Suspension
The Men's Honor Council
has placed one student on in
definite suspension for two ly
ing charges and acquitted
another charged with a Cam
pus Code offense. The council
postponed a third case because
the defendant's accuser was
not present.
The suspension sentence
arose out of a "misrepresen
tation of the turth" in Febru
ary, 1966 to a campus police
man and to the assistant dean
of men, concerning the custo
dy of an unauthorized vehicle.
The boy, a sophomore without
the 2.0 average required for
car registration, told both of
ficials that his car belonged
to another, non - existent stu
dent. . -
On two other counts of ly
ing, the boy was found not
ney, held on May 27 at the or
der of Judge Edwin M. Stan
ley. Judge Stanley, after hear-'
ing the disagreements, set up
a timetable for sending the
case to court, probably in the
fall. He maintains the court
will not be convened until the
two sides agree on the facts.
The plaintiffs presented a
chronological statement of
facts to the state lawyers June
15.
The state lawyers are to re
turn this list of facts with its
corrections and additions by
July 6.
The plaintiffs will then have
until July 14 to lodge any ob
jections they have to the state's
version of the facts.
A pre-trial conference with
Judge Stanley will be held Ju
ly 21 to determine how far the
lawyers for both sides have
gone toward agreeing on the
facts and deciding what points
will be submitted at the trial.
A statement by both sides
must be filed covering all facts
or depositions considered per
tinent by August 5. The state
ment must specify any areas
of disgareement.
On August 25 both sides will
appear in court and Judge
Stanley will make a schedule
for briefing and argument. -
Judge Stanley has said he
will not call the three judge
panel for a hearing on t h e
Speaker Ban case until all
areas of disagreement have
been resolved.

The State Department sent
19 graduate students to Viet

Their work was so successful
that nearly twice that num

Buck admits that curiosity
prompted him to apply for the
program. His tasks there, he
believes, will be similar to
those being carried out by the
War ' on Poverty here in the
United States.
"I'm expecially interested in
Southeast Asia," Buck ex
plains. "This trip will enable
me to broaden my understand

After two days of orienta
