'To Write Well Is Better Than To Rule9 Volume 74. Number 45 CHAPEL HILL, N. C. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1966 Sitterson Ha, By GENE IRONS Special To The DTI I Jesse Helms, controversial WRAL - TV commentator, chuckled when asked if his re cent editorial influenced Chan cellor Sitterson who suspend ed English graduate instruct or Michael Paull for assigning a controversial theme. "My views had no effect in putting the pressure on Chan cellor Sitterson." Helms says "the Chancellor has backbone, and forms his own ideas." Helms says "happenings on the UNC campus .are political situations because the Univer sity is a part of government and subject to criticism from the state." Helms was puzzled by the Daily Tar Heel's editorial claims of violations of "aca demic freedom" in the case. He said he wondered "how much enlightenment can be gained from bawdy themes? Shakespeare didn't dip into the sewer for the main subject of his themes." Michael Paull stirred up con troversy by assigning h i s freshman English class a theme concerning the love poem "To His Coy Mistress." "Do students mean by aca demic freedom the right to do anything' they want, anytime they want?" Helms asked. He produced an invitation from A-House of Morrison Res idence College, to talk with students about the Michael Paull case. He pointed to a list of news papers that had been sent - carbon copies of the invita tion and said it was "silly if they were meant to pressure me." He said he could not attend the Morrison meeting or some 100 others that he has been in vited to in recent weeks. Helms said he isn't "well acquainted with the Daily Tar Heel, and couldn't comment on it, I ;assume, that its workers are young people learning to become profession al newspapermen." Helms said he "respects the right to criticize a man's views," but feels that "criti cism of an individual's per sonality because of his views is one of the frailities of youth" as expressed in t h e DTH. Helms defended the right of an editorialist to voice his opinions: Great Pumpkin's Letters Are APO By JULIE PARKER DTH Staff Writer In case you've been won dering about the Greek letters on the Great Pumpkin's nog gin in Tuesday's DTH, they stand for the only internation al service fraternity on the UNC campus Alpha Phi Omega. Jim Alexiou, president of the Rho Chapter pledge class, ex plained it this way: The brothers sent pledges trick-or-treating to sorority houses and residence halls, and told the pledges to leave a Great Pumpkin gift for the girls at East Granville. So they left a carved Jack-O-Lantern signed with the fra ternity's letters. The Chapter, which was started here in 1930, sponsors the "Ugly Man Contest" each year. , Fraternities and mens idence halls' candidates compete for penny votes to be fleeted the ugliest man in the university the ballot boxes (i.e. the penny jars) going to local charities. The group also conducts Project HOPE each' spring, contributing to the finances of United Nations hospital ship HOPE. "We have about 35 brothers and 7 pledges, but not too many people seem to know there is a service fraternity on c a m p u s," commented Alexiou. He said the group hopes to become better known through expanded services this year. He said too tbat "most peov pie don't know you can be in both a social fraternity and a service fraternity. We also take some first semester fresh men, although we're very se lective about it." Alpha Phi Omega was founded at Lafayette College, Easton, Pa., in 1925. It draws most of its membership from young men with backgrounds Backb "It is necessary in today's changing and turbulent world to create a dialogue (opinion) on contemporary issues. A dia logue is necessary to stretch the minds of those who hear it. A sincere difference of opin ion is welcome as long as peo ple take a stand themselves." Helms, who served as ad ministrative assistant to U.S. Senator Willis Smith, says he "saw that Congress was composed of big wig-craftsmen of politics, not states Friday Announces Faculty Changes Four new faculty appoint ments, two leaves of absence, one retirement and seven re signations were announced yes terday by UNC President Wil liam C.

Harry Galifianakis, Chapel Hill's self proclaimed "Tar nished Greek", smiled round ly through the smoke and sha dows of his place, the Tempo Room. "You want to know why I'm the "Tarnished Greek"? Just look. Every other Greek is gol den, not me." Harry, originrlly from Dur ham, went to N. C. State for ' two years His parents were Greek immigrants. Harry has owned the Tempo with his brother Pete for 2 1-2 years. Their brother is the Nick Galifianakis who is running for the U. S. Congress from the 4th District. In the short time they have owned it, the Tempo Room has become one of UNC's prized institutions. Known as the Temp and the Po, it is next to Varsity Mens Wear. It's loud and dark and smoky and crowded. The Po is also warm and friendly. It provides a haven for UNC students. Harry is one of the main reasons for the Temp's friendly atmosphere. Harry is short and round and always smiles. He hustles around behind the bar, open ing bottles, cleaning counters making sandwiches and wash ing glasses.

DTH Photo by Mike McGowan NX Race Has Big .Names NEW YORK (AP) The New York governorship, histor ically one of the nation's most important political prizes, goes on the line Tuesday and the major parties are bidding for it with big names and big money. Democrats, sensing what may be their best opportunity in almost a decade to defeat incumbent Republican Nelson A. Rockefeller, are supplying candidate Frank D. O'Connor with major White House sup port and the crowd-gathering magic of Sen. Robert F. Ken nedy, D-N.Y. Rocekfeller, who is 58 and says his presidential ambi tions are a thing of the past, has accepted only minor cam paign support from other GOP big names, relying instead on a well financed, professional ' ly run campaign. Democrats have tried to make that campaign cost an issue. They charged today that before it is over Rockefeller will have spent more than $20 million "enough to run three modern presidential elec tions, or the Buffalo antipov erty program, or 40 times what we Democrats will spend." and predicts . football games and leads cheers and wise cracks with the guys leaning on the bar. "This place has got good at mosphere. We've got good guys behind the bar. We real ly care about our customers." Harry thinks the .principal reason for the Po's popularity is its concern for is customers. "We're not like these other places. Now don't get me wrong we're still out to make . a buck but it doesn't seem to me that these other places really care about their customers. "The regulars come down here and they know we won't let them get into any trouble. We teke care of them. We don't call the police when they ve had a little too much to drink. We've driven I don't know how many guys home. Like I said, we take care of our customers." The frat men stop coming to the Tempo because they don't have enough money says Har ry. "They've got these big weekends and stuff and just don't have enough extra to com down like. they used to. We're still always glad to see them when they can come down. "We also get a lot of prep school guys because they re lonely and a long way from home. They come here looking for their friends and people to talk to." At that time the evening itPlg TFh mm money Last week, the GOP report ed campaign expenditures of $4.3 million so far for the Rockefeller campaign and for more than 400 other GOP can didates. The Democrats turned in a $278,000 report for O'Con nor alone. There was no break down for Rockefeller's spend ing. The bearer of another fa- inous name, Liberal Party can didate Franklin D. Roosevelt Jr., doesn't figure to win. But both Rockefeller and O'Con nor claim the votes he'll draw will have an adverse, and per haps fatal, effect on their bids. A big bloc of undecided , vot ers apparently holds the key. Some polls say one out of four voters hasn't made up his mind. Others show 20 per cent of the undecided vote going to Roosevelt and another minor party candidate Conservative Paul Adams. In a major effort to attract this undecided group, Demo crats have provided out side help for O'Connor, the 57 - year old president of the New York City Council. President Johnson and Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey have come up from Washing ton. rush started and Harry had to go back to work. . Harry says that the Tempo is a "sort of home away from home" for lonely UNC students.

Critics have called it a;' young company of "magnifi-" cent accomplishments, full of fantastically agile and excel lently trained dancers and with extraordinarily versatile and imaginative choreograph ers." Audiences have called the ballet's performance "the live liest, most exciting company seen in years performing with dazzling precision." The ballet has undergone ten years of dynamic growth, beginning with six doughty dancers and a tape machine in a rented station wagon. .President To Under WASHINGTON (AP) Pre sident Johnson will undergo surgery within the next 15 to 18 days. Johnson, who personally an nounced the forthcoming oper ation to newsmen summoned to the cabinet room, describ ed it as to "repair a defect Prowler Spencer, KB? JL By KAREN FREEMAN DTH Staff Writer Chapel Hill's mystery prow ler who has been haunting co ed residences during the past week apparently made two more attempts to enter resi dences this week. Reports of a prowler have been received by Chapel Hill police from the Kappa Delta, sorority house and Spencer dormitory. The first incident was re ported to the police by the Kappa Delta house at 12:27 Wednesday morning. A girl walking into the first floor kitchen saw the screen door close. Three girls in the basement also heard it shut. Footsteps were then heard' around the back of the house, and the girls notified the housemother, who telephoned the campus police. The Kappa Delta house lies outside campus police juris diction, however, and the call had to be relayed to the Chap el Hill police. Chief of Police William Cold Temperatures. Snow Hit Uplands Temperatures near zero, ac companied by snow, sleet, rain and stiff winds, brought the first taste of winter to North Carolina Thursday. The Weather Bureau forecast a hard freeze and a killing frost for Thursday night, but said some moderation could be expected by Friday afternoon. Several mountain areas re ported light snow early Thurs day, and two stretches of the Blue Ridge Parkway were closed because of hazardous driving conditions. Most roads remained open, however, and the Weather Bu reau said no real accumula tion of snow is expected from the current cold wave. The unseasonably cold air swept across the state Thurs day night and tumbled temp eratures 30 to 40 degrees with in a 12 - hour period. The low reading at daybreak was 8 degrees above near the top of Clingman's Peak in western North Carolina. But the general range remained in the 30's in most areas and only 43 degrees at. Hatteras.

A small polyp will be remov ed from 'his throat at the same time. , With the announcement, Johnson ended all speculation that he was planning a cross- Tries Blake said that by . the time the call was relayed and the police arrived on the scene no trace of the prowler was left. A prowler was seen at Spen cer dormitory Thursday morn ing around 1 a.m. Laura Clark reported being alone in Spencer's basement study room when she heard a scraping sound on the screen. Looking up, she saw a man in a white shirt and blue jack et, but could give no other description. She screamed and ran to the first floor, and someone called down to the basemnt to tell three girls who were in an adjoining room to leave. None of the three girls had heard the scream. Campus police were noti fied, but were unable to find the man. The occurrances raise the total number of re ports of the prowler to four. He was reported at Winston dormitory early last Thursday morning and at Delta Delta Delta sorority house early Sunday morning. Brisk winds made the cold even more uncomfortable, so that a generous amoung of sunshine really didn't help. The storm came in from the Great Lakes region, after dum ping snow ranging from a few inches to more than a foot on some areas of the Midwest. The Weather Bureau said mostly sunny skies would pre vail in most areas of the state Friday, bringing warmer tem peratures. Saturday, however, will bring increasing cloudines ind the prospects of some rain during the weekend. The Blue Ridge Parkway was closed between N. C. 191 near Ahseville to the Great' Smoky Mountains National, Park and between Black Mountain Gap near Mount Mitchell and N. C. 694 north east of Asheville. High offic ials said isolated slick spots remained in some mountain areas during the day Thurs day. Further freezing was forecast Thursday night but no further acculation of moisture was expected. 'Dazzling - - --- J r'7 - son Surg ery country campaign swing prior to next Tuesday's elections to plug for the election of Demo crats rll the way down the line. Democratic politicans in more than a dozen states from Massachusetts to California have reported they expected Johnson for political speeches prior to the elections. But heeding recommen dations of his doctors, Johnson plans to get in as much rest as possible prior to the operation instead of taking to the poli tical hustings. He will begin resting up at the LBJ ranch in Texas some time tomorrow. But he told newsmen that he plans a busy day in his office, signing bills" and getting in other paper work before leaving for the ranch. Later, Press Secretary Bill D. Moyers rnnounced that the president will hold a news con ference et 10 a.m. in the White House East Room. It will be open for live television cov erage. Johnson, reading from a pre pared statement, said that about six months ago a small bulge began to appear in the region of the scar from last year's operation on the right side of his abdomen. Although it would disappear from time to time, he said, "I experi enced a continuing sorenest and a drawing sensation. The protrusion has enlarged recent ly and the soreness has re occurred, and the doctors have recommended suregery." Johnson said Vice Adm. George G. Burkley, the White House physician, recommend ed to him in Seoul, Korea", Tuesday that the operation take place within about 15 to 18 days from now and that he agreed to the recommenda tion. Burkley, who keeps daily watch over the President's health, said Johnson's gener al health continues to be ex cellent, and that there is no in dication of any serious prob lem in either instance. Doctors described the abdo minal protrusion as an "incis ional hernia." One of the President's doc tors who was present, James C. Cain, of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., said the protrusion at times reaches the size of a silver dollar. Burkley explained that at the time of the President's gall bladder surgery Oct. 8, 1965, drains were placed in the ab dominal wall r.bout one inch from the end of the incision on the right side. When the drains were remov ed, the wound appeared to heal completely but that on several occasions a drawing pain was noticed in the region of the scar, localized where the drains had been removed. He said a small protrusion was first noted last April. ' Burkley said the protrusion has enlarged somehwat in the last three weeks and is reduci ble when the President is eith er lying down or wearing a brace. Precision' l will be seen when they appear here next Thursday night in Memorial Hall.
