JnUMMMf i l9 Effective Urlb SI By HUNTER GEORGE DTH Staff Writer There are violations of the Honor Code that go unnoticed. There are professors who don't turn in cheaters. But Carolina's Honor Sys tem is still a far cry more ef fective than that of the Air Force Academy, and it con tinues to operate as a "very strong system." That sentiment was express ed by Bill Miller, chairman of the Men's Honor Council. Looking back on records from the past 15 years, Miller found some facts that cast credit on UNC students' in tegrity. For instance, during that period of time an average of 97 students were brought be fore the Honor Court for vio lations of the Honor Code. Of these, 54 (slightly more than half) were convicted, 30 for cheating and plagiarism, 10 for serious lying, 12 for . stealing and two for other of : fenses. Projected against an average enrollment of more than 8,000 students the fig ures are small. , However, the picture is not all rosy. : "Most administration offi cials, teachers and students grossly underestimate the amount of cheating that ac tually goes on," Miller said. FIGURE MISLEADING Although a recent national study showed that cheating is less prevalent in colleges with student judiciary and honor systems, the figures are still misleading. There are two main prob lems to realizing a complete ly effective honor system at UNC, Miller said students and teachers. The students, he explained, show an increasing reluctancy to turn in their friends. This is shown in the de - creasing number of viola tions reported to the Honor Council, a fact that doesn't jive with the increasing en rollment. "To me, it indicates that a smaller percentage of stu dents are reporting the in fractions, because the infrac tions aren't decreasing," Mil ler said. He attributed! this reluc tancy to report friends to a fear of ostracism by peers, Spot The All Z campus or in downtown Chape, HUL Most of them you will have seen before Only you won t have iooked at them quite the way our photographers did.

The second major problem is the teacher who fails a stu dent rather than report him to the Council. Miller said he could not es timate how widespread this practice is, but said it in volved a significantly large number of professors. Under this "private F tem, a professor who feels a student cheated on a test sim oly gives him an "F" in the course and drops the matter. SUSPENSIONS By far the most frequent sentence for Honor Code con victions, according to Miller, is suspension from the uni versity. (Last semester, sev en of 12 convictions resulted in suspension.) One reform Miller would like to inaugurate is a "clos ed study" rule for students on probation. Under this plan the student would be required to report to the library at a certain time on Monday through Thursday nights. This plan is designed to "bridge the gap" between the extreme punishment of suspension, and the relative ly ineffective punishment of probation. A second reform he thinks is important is the combining of the Men's and Women's honor councils. This idea would have to pass a campus-wide referendum in order" to go into effect. NSA Affiliation Showdown Here Came In Nov. 1964 By DON CAMPBELL DTH Staff Writer ' (Sixth in a series) The 1961 national convention of NSA was a busy one, one in which wide ranging issues were voted upon.

The senior senator from Montana will speak for about 40 minutes in Memorial Hall, then answer questions from the floor for 20 minutes, following the format of the Ja cob Javits appearance here last month. His topic will be whatever is most pressing in the Senate at the time of his speech," according to Robin West, chairman of the Carolina Forum.

The NS At UNC- rentis," in opposition to af filiation with the Student Non violent Co-ordinating Commit tee (SNNC), and in favor of the use of "non-violent pro test" by civil rights demon strators. The day after these votes were announced, the right wing Circuit Riders Inc. de nounced the NSA "without any reservations." By this time, most people knew where the NSA stood on most issues, and campus in terest in the organization was plainly picking up. No longer did delegates have to be sought out for regional and national conventions; stu dents were actually running against each other for the del egate seats. In February of 1962, a vice president of NSA came down to the campus and explained the group's policies. They were, he said, in sup port of the recent Japanese student riots; they condemned the Russian shipment of arms to Castro's Cuba and also the U. S. intervention there; they were in favor of disarmament by inspection; and had no pol icy on Chinese membership in the U.N., "because it hadn't been discussed during the past four years." The 1962 national congress dealt mainly with the ques tion of nuclear testing. This time the UNC delegation went against the majority in voting against a resolution urging an end to all nuclear testing. The 1963 delegation to the national congress was te larg est ever from UNC. Thirteen students attended what was later called the "most moder- ?ress to date. One Jff favored B Gold aef gj the 1964 presidential nomina- tion. Tie mnjprafi.n . , . . Tr. " J "? 4Cfuu- ed. However, resolutions sup porting national civil rights legislation and condemning the regime of Prsident Ngo Dinh Diem of South Vietnam were passed. Then, just as the UNC dele gate was stressing the mode ration of NSA, the American Legion, in a national conven tion at Miami Beach, brand ed it as "Communist infiltrated." I The Legion gave the NSA's stand against Communist speaker bans as evidence of "Communist infiltration." Two days after the Legions attack, the NSA met at a re gional conference in Raleieh and calmly passed a resolu tion condemning North Caro lina's own Speaker Ban in particular. All this time, opposition to NSA was growing on campus. In Anril of 1964, a conserva tive legislator, Borden Park er, attempted to block a $490 appropriation to the NSA del egation on campus, saying, "The NSA appropriation is an unnecessary expenditure of the student's monev- and supports views with which they do not agree." The idea was batted around awhile, but Parker's attempt was blocked in the end, main ly through the votes of legis lators who, while not approv ing of NSA, thought it better to remain in the organization and try to influence future pol icy. Opposition to the organiza tion grew and in October, 1964. it all boiled over. Student Legislature decided that a campus referendum would have to be held to de termine future affiliation of , NSA with student government here. Legislature at first vot ed to have final say regardless of how the student body vot ed, but later decided, after considerable debate, to abide by the results of thevreferen- , dum. The pro- and anti-NSA forc es began their charges and counter charges. There were debate over whether Barry Goldwater supported NSA, there were charges that NSA was a money making scheme offering a two-week summer vacation for the delegates, and in the end, it was mainly a smear campaign from the right. The real issues were forgot ten. Whether UNC students un derstood the issues or not, 5, 437 of them' turned out to vote against or for the NSA. Those for won. By 2,968 to 2,471. The referendum, though close, was a good thing for me nsa at UNC. , (Next: The present dilemma) crowd and many penny votes with an impromptu parade that even caught Chancellor Sitterson in one traffic tie-up.

Long is "most excited and enthused' 'about the latest in novation of the residential voice of Morrison Residen tial College." The dean was there when WMO was officially dedicat .ed Wednesday night and he ' came away with "an unquali fied expression of admira tion. "I almost hate being so en thused about it all," Long admitted "because a man in ' my position isn't supposed to get so excited about things that students do like this," especially, he added, when the dean's office had nothing to do with it. s Communication is central to the residential colleges concept, Dean Long said, agreeing with an idea voiced by many others. "WMO is serving as a unifying factor in the residential college. Y Cafe Opens By CAROL WONSAVAGE DTH Staff Writer "This is a place for stu dents to see some of the great talent on campus while they relax and enjoy them selves." This is the promise of Caro lina's latest form of enter tainment, the Crossroads Cafe, a new kind of coffee ship, acording to coffeshop chairman Carol Barnum. The Crossroads Cafe opens tonight at 7:30 in the YMCA and features Bebo's Bunkum Jug Jumpers, Jock Lauterer and his 12-string guitar, and Maggie Palmer, singing. Students can wander in and out of, the candlelit cof fee house as they please. There will be no admission charge and students pay only for their food. Coffee, Viennese coffee, tea, Russian, tea, French bread, cheeses, and assorted Greek pastries will be served on bright yel low, red, and green table cloths. The walls will be decorated with student art from Ack land Art Center. The Cafe opens at 7:30 to night. At 8:15 Bebo's Jug Band will play. At 9:30 there will be performances by Jock Lauterer and his guitar, Mag gie Palmer on the dulcimer, then Jock and Maggie will sing together some original songs. At 10:30 the Jug Band will play again.

Before WMO, there was simply no way of getting in contact with a large group of people at once. Long cited an example of the effectiveness of the ra dio's communicative service. "The NSA films (shown in Morrison Tuesday night) were SRO for both showings. Know how they filled up the room? Five minutes before the films were to start, they ran a plug over the air. ' "Standing room only, that's what we mean by effective communication in a residence college," he emphasised. Long suggested the possi bility of restructuring the en- tire concept of student leader- ship.

Shaw and David W. Ferrie met in September 1963 to discuss "how they would kill John F. Kennedy, President of the United States." The documents said the evi dence about the meetings came from an unnamed in formant, whose statements were corroborated while the informant was under the in fluence of sodium pentothal, or truth serum. Oswald was named by the Warren report as Kennedy's lone, assassin. Shaw, former director of the International Trade Mart here, was arrest ed by Garrison last night and booked on conspiracy to com mit murder. Ferrie, a pilot, died in bed last week while un der investigation by Garri son's office. In an application for a war rant to search Shaw's French Quarter residence last night, the District Attorney's office stated: "The reason and facts for the request of this search war rant are: Affiant has evidence that meetings were held in the apartment of David W. Ferrie at 3330 Louisiana Avenue Parkway and the people pres ent were David W. Ferrie, Clay Shaw (alias Clay Ber trand), and Lee Harvey Os wald and an informant and other persons. These meetings were held in September 1963, and the above named individ uals, namely David W. Ferrie, Lee Harvey Oswald and Clay Shaw (alias Clay Bertrand) were aiscusmg now mey would kill John F. Kennedy, President of the United States. At these meetings, there was an agreement and combina tion among Clay Shaw (alias Clay ' Bertrand), Lee Harvey Oswld, and David W. Ferrie and others to kill John F. Ken nedy. At these meetings there was discussion and agreement to carry out this conspiracy." At a news conference today, Shaw called his arrest "fan tastic." Speaking calmly and at times smiling broadly, Shaw insisted that he had no part in any plot to kill Ken- nedy. "I did not know Harvey Lee Oswald nor to the best of my knowledge do I know anyone rm An evening of North Caro lina poetry and song Evening of Protest poetry and song Future coffee shops will al so sample different kinds of foods, such as banana bread and cream cheese, and bag- J . Ii . illation Claimed. who knew him." Shaw said. 4I have never seen or spoken to Oswald. I am shocked and dismayed at the charges which have been filed against me. I am completely innocent of any such charges." Earlier in the day, new U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark said the FBI had inves tigated Shaw late in 1963 and cleared him of any link with the assassination. "On the evi dence that the FBI has, no connection was found," Clark said in Washington. No formal charge has been filed against Shaw. Garrison's application for a warrant to search Shaw's lux urious home was made pub lic today, along with the ac tual warrant. The application said: "One of the sources of information of the affiant is a confidential informant who was present at these meetings and saw the conspirators and heard the plans. This confidential infor mant saw David W. Ferrie and Clay Shaw, alias Clay Bertrand, and Lee Hrvey Os wald and others and this con fidential informant heard these subjects agree to kill John F. Kennedy and heard these sub jects discus the means and manner of carrying out this agreement." "That the said confidential informant, after giving this statement to the affiant, vol untarily submitted to sodium pentothal, commonly called truth serum, which was ad ministered under the care and control and supervision of the coroner for the Parish of Or leans, a medical doctor. That the same confidential infor mant, while under the sodium pentothal, verified, corrobor ated and reaffirmed his earlier . statements. . ,-" , t . The search warrant was signed by Louis Ivon, an inves tigator for Garrison, and sub scribed before Judge Mat thew S. Braniff, judge of crim inal district court, section B. Coroner Nicholas Chetta was asked if he gave truth serum to the unamed infor mant. Chetta referred all other questions to the district attor-' ney. Shaw, who was released on $10,000 bond last night, issued a statement yesterday in which he expressed shock at this arrest and denied taking part in a plot to kill Kennedy. o els.
