Volume 74, Number 106 Amlong Will Run lr or DTH Bill Amlong, a journalism major from Miami, Fla., an nounced Wednesday that he is a candidate for The Daily Tar Heel editorship. The 21-year-old junior, who ' is running as an independent, was endorsed Tuesday night by the Publications Board. Amlong, formerly a report er, news editor and managing editor of the DTH, trans ferred here in 1965 from Miami-Dade Junior College. Before coming to Carolina, he worked as a city desk re porter for The Miami Herald for a year and a half. He also worked part-time as a gen eral assignment reporter for The Durham Morning Herald. This summer he will work for The Suffolk Sun, a paper started last November in Long Island, N. Y., by the Cowles Publishing Corp., the publish ers of Look Magazine. He is a member of Phi Kappa Sigma Fraternity. "The Daily Tar Heel," Am long said Wednesday, "has a history of being lively, scrap py and well-written. "Lately, however, it almost seems to be striving for both mediocrity and irrelevancy. "It is mediocre in both the technical quality of the paper and in its editorial policy which is presented in such muddled fashion that it seems to equivocate on even the few weak-kneed stands it does take. "And it is irrelevant not only by poor use of Associated Press wire copy of little in terest to the student body, but also by its failure to provide proper . campus coverage, ranging from its almost sys tematic neglect of most coed, residence college and frater nity affairs to the omission of stories on the so-called 'lesser' sports, such as hockey, rugby and lacrosse, despite student interest in them. "If elected, I hope to put my professional experience to use in providing the students ' with a paper which will inter est and excite them by being thorough, well - written and professionally packaged.

The student though to himself: "I haven't got the cash. I'll have to write a check." So he did, knowing it would bounce until next week when his father deposited next month's funds. This scene happens all the time. It happens to res taurants, clothing stores, drug stores, service stations, grovery stores and other merchants who cater to col lege students. But it's all done good-naturedly and, as far as most Chapel Hill merchants are concerned, it is taken with a grain of salt. i "If I get one (a check) back, I just turn right around and send it to the bank again," said the manager of a large local restaurant. "Ninety - five times out of a hundred sufficient funds have been deposited by that time. In this case, the stu dent is using us as a borrowing service." In general, when a student's check bounces, it is because of insufficient funds rptjher than any malicious intent. Chapel Hill merchants agree that students are usually eood about backing their checks sooner or later. :: I S5 Editor t- ' ' w -.;. 7 .

SDS Pickets Will Greet Vice President Humphrey The UNC Students for a Democratic Society will pick et Vice President Hubert H.

He said SDS is consider ing carrying placard's with suggested questions for Hum phrey to be asked during his appearance here. "If we use questions they'll be ones which will ask him to be clear on certain matters he hasn't been truthful on," Waller said. "For instance," he contin ued, "why did the administra tion hide the fact that the Viet Cong wanted to negotiate? That might be one of t h e questions." Waller said SDS is inviting well as students.

Nod DTH editor candidates Scott Goodfellow and Bill Amlong were granted en dorsements by the Publica tions Board Tuesday night. Goodfellow, past manag ing editor and acting edi tor since Fred Thomas withdrew at the end of the last semester, and Am long, news editor last se mester and acting manag ing editor for the first two weeks of this semes ter, were judged as being sufficiently competent and experienced to receive en dorsements of the Pub Board. Two other applicants were not granted endorse ments by the Pub Board. Candidates without en dorsement must have a petition of at least 145 names supporting them for their names to appear on the balot. out details of the picketing, which he said may consider merely of a silent vigil simi lar to the weekly one held here on Franklin St. Waller emphasized that "we don't want any violence. We don't expect any. Nobody, wants to get arrested."- He said, "We just want to give people a chance to express themselves." According to information given peace vigil participants, the protesters will line both sides of the sidewalk in front of Memorial Hall. Waller, however, says SDS did not in tend to obstruct sidewalk traffic:"'- - -i Humphrey is scheduled to speak here in the afternoon. He was invited by the Caro lina Forum. The picketers may not be the only persons he will en counter who are hostile to ward administration Vietnam policy. Panel Of 4 Selected To Quiz Humphrey An economics professor, a political science professor, tlie president of the student body and a graduate student in po litical science wil comprise the panel that wil quiz Vice President Hubert Humpnrey it was announced yesterday. The selection of the panel for the program to be held in Memorial Hall at 3 p.m. March was released by Caro lina Forum Chairman Robin West. The panel will include: Dr. David Lapkin, econom ics professor, and former member of a federal econom ic advisory group; Dr. Donald Mathews, po litical science professor who is regarded as a national au thority on elections and na tional issues; Bob Powell, student body president and a key figure in S::5:::5:::::x:a A widely - used policy with regard to collecting the money after the check has bounced is to send a card to the student, calling to his attention an "error" in the check. If the student comes to the store within a week or so as most do the matter is forgotten. If a second card or telephone call is required, there are still no hard feelings. v But if these efforts have no results, the check is turn ed over to the justice of the peace for legal attention. If this happens, a fee of $9 is attached to the amount of the check. . "We don't think this is a very good way of creating good will, though," commented one businessman. Most stores in Chapel Hill report very little financial loss due to uncollected checks. One drug store manager said he cashes about 2,400 checks per month. Of these, approximately 40 are re turned because of insufficient funds, and 90 per cent of these are ventually collected. "You get most of your bad checks around vacation time or semester break," said a drug store propriertor. "If a kid needs $20 for a bus ticket he's- going to write that check whether he's got $20 in the bank or not." And so the cycle continues. Checks are written ... bounced ... sent back . . . and finally collected. It's like a game with no hard feelings so long as the rules are kept. off Tfte South' Largest -nfc. 0 I t - Vs J V I , ...

Founder Commie By DON CAMPBELL DTH News Editor (Editors Note: This is the first in a series of articles dis cussing the history of the Na tional Students Association on this campus.) With all the hoop-la that's been made of the recent dis closure that the National Stu dent Association was covertly linked with the Central Intel ligence Agency, a look at the NSA on this campus might prove worthwhile. As long as there has been an NSA, this campus has been deeply involved in it. In fact, a former student on this campus was one of the founders of the student group. James C.

IraFactiomis Caii8e jOe Cars By JOE COLTRANE DTH Staff Writer Campus traffic counselor Alonzo Squires said yesterday that 41 students had been re quired to take their cars home this year because of traffic rules infractions. In addition, he said, 158 late registration fees of five dol lars each had been collected after students had had their academic registration termi nated because of failure to register cars, or failure to dis play stickers. Squires explained that some students seemed to be taking the attitude that the traffic of fice either could not, or would not punish them for traffic rules infractions. This is not the case, according to Squires. Cars parked illegally (which includes cars without a per mit of any kind) on campus may be ticketed by either the campus policemen, who leave red tickets, or by messenger boys from the office of the Dean of Men. Their mark is a blue ticket. "I care about students," said Squires. "And if any stu dent feels he had received a ticket unjustly, he should con tact either Chief Beaumont, if it came from the campus po lice, or me, within 48 hours if one of our boys issued it." There are four major areas of violation, according to Squires: Unregistered cars; zone violations nd illegal parking; improper permit; and illegible permit. If a stu dent receives three tickets during the school year, he may be asked to. take his car home . Two specific instances when students may feel they have been ticketed unjustly are when a campus officer needs the space for an emergency, and tickets a car simply to have the owner move it, and when students are patients at The NSA At UNC Of NSA Defeated For Prague Trip Chapel Hill resident and pro fessor at State had a very in teresting experience here in 1946 which led to his involve ment in forming the NSA. Wallace, who authored the controversial Wallace Report last summer on the inade quacies of Negro education in this state, was a 2nd year law student here at the time. In late April of '46, word came down to the campus from New York that Carolina had been selected as one of ten colleges to send a repre sentative to the International Student Congress to be held in Prague the folowing Au gust. Known as the National Pre paratory Committe in Amer ica for the Prague Confer ence, the organization asked that a committee be named here to pick a student repre sentative. An 11-man student-faculty committee was set up to pick the delegate, and vas backed by such organizations as the Di Ph, the YM-YWCA, the CPU, the University Veterans Association etc. The organizations were re sponsible for raising $700 to cover expenses of the trip. Any organization on the cam pus could send a voting dele gate to the election of the rep resentative and most did. By the time the delegate election was set in late May, the field had narrowed to two major candidates. One was Jimmy Wallace. Jimmy was a liberal in the true sense of the word. He was notorious for mak ing attacks on the fraternity system, the University Party and most officials in South Building. He was, himself, often at tacked by the Daily Tar Heel and letter writers.

Founded February 23. 1893 41 T Alonzo Squires the infirmary, Squires said In each of these cases, the student should try to see the proper authorities immediate ly. To avoid getting a ticket while at the infirmary, Squires sugguested that a note be placed on the windshield of the car informing the officer of the fact. One of the excuses students use most often, said Squires, is that they were late for class, nd it was raining, and they couldn't find a parking place. "I usually inform them that there are students living in Craige and Morrison who don't have cars, and they have to make allowances for walking time. And a student with a car, who knows there may not be a parking place near his class, should make the same allowance." "Many students probably don't really understand why we register cars on campus,." said Squires. He gave three basic facts about cars as a part of the reason: "Before the law, an automo bile is a privilege, not a right; there are laws regulat ing the use of cars for things (Continued on Page 6) The other major candidate was Junius Scales. To most North Carolinians, the name rings a bell. Now Junius, you see, was a real live Communist. But unlike Chapel Hill Com munists of today, Junius didn't hide behind trees he walked up and down the street like everyone else. In fact, Junius was very non stereotype. He was blond, dressed con servatively, and everyone thought he was a conservative. On the day of the election, Junius and Jimmy were run ning neck and neck. The fraternities were back ing Junius all the way. With the vote 12-11 in favor of Junius, Al Lowenstein, (lat ter an NSA president and more recently a draftsman of the student body leaders letter to President Johnson on the Viet nam war) walked in and vot ed for Jimmy. Then the vote was tied. This forced the chairman of the election committee to vote and he cast his ballot for Jim my. As Jimmy Wallace said many years later, "The frater nities didn't get exactly what they deserved." So Jimmy went to Prague and Junius went back to being a nobody until the next year when he was accused of being a Communist by the HUAC. , In October of 1947, Junius wrote a letter to the Daily Tar Heel, admitting he was Secretary of the Communist Party 'or North and South Carolina. Moscow had lost its big gam ble by one vote. (TOMORROW: The Prague Conference and subsequent founding of NSA.)
