SCOTT GOODFELLOW, EDITOR Brown-Bagging Remarkably H its Very Close To Home When the issue of more liberal liquor laws finally came up, it's . amazing that it had to be so chock full of ironies. Perhaps the biggest irony of all is that we are now engaged in a . monumental battle to obtain legal rights to something we thought we had all along, When Supreme Court Justice Susie Sharp shot a hole in the brown-bags last De cember, it was even a shock to those ultra - conservatives who grow faint at the sight of a bot . tie. The Mecklenburg County eco nomy shuddered visibly and "I'm Dreaming of a Wet Christmas" was audible in every conven tion hall. r So the forces aligned over a 'problem which had been "solved" ? before. The real reason for the concern of many over the brown bag problem is really that they can see liquor by the drink loom ing in the background, and if a good-looking fight can be drum med up against brown-bagging, perhaps the horrors of being able to buy a drink instead of pouring your own can be avoided. There seems little doubt that brown-bagging will be "reinstat ed" in North Carolina law. The big hassle will be over liquor by the drink when legislation for it is introduced later in the session. It seems to us, however, that liquor by the drink is an eventuality. Those who still advocate that liq uor only be dispensed through state-owned stores and only be transported legally by an individ ual under ludicrously defined con ditions and routes, surely realize that their battle is a temporary pleasure. Once the step is made back to brown-bagging, there seems little reason for keeping a bar owner from selling liquor to patrons who would bring their own if they couldn't buy it. The accessibility check doesn't really stack up sub stantially. . Amazingly enough, the brown bagging law is highly relevant to students at Carolina. A part of the proposed legislation introduced Thursday would outlaw liquor at athletic events. That's a football games, fans! Ten Most Dangerous Men List Conjures Thoughts A "Ten Most Dangerous Men '"".in America" contest is underway at the University of California at Berkeley. " .5 t !And Cardinal Sepllman is lead ing. The contest is sponsored by the Bavarian Illuminati, a "recognized campus group of freakouts from Berkeley's right wing," which is actually a front group for Students . Opposed to Conscription (SOC). Running closely behind Cardi nal Spellman are West V. Wheel ing, whom only the shadow knows, "Ronnie Baby," "Elbie Jay," and "Commissar Lewie B. Hershey." Runners-up are Hubert Lindsey, J. Eddie Hoover, Robt. Strange Mc Namara, Billy Graham, and "Who mever Replaces Clark Kerr." As we read about the contest, all kinds of thoughts began to crop up. What if we held such a con test at UNC? Who would win? The thought was entirely too intrigu- Chase Officials . . ' .

Franklin St., Chapel Hill, N. C. Folit Commitv Yoiir selves! The Saturnalia of spring elections is upon us again in full force. Usually, the aver bggive a damn about the whole business, and takes great de light in burning and marking the clutter of posters that clog the nearest bulletin board. But the importance of stud ent government programs for the general welfare of the Un iversity is easily understood in the light of history. For exam ple, the Carolina student did not realize the importance of the decision to let the Dialectic-Philanthropic societies try their first student defendant for misdemeanors nearly 170 years ago, but today student courts function smoothly, fair ly, and effectively. " This is Just one of many reasons why it is vastly in the interests of the student body that significant and vis ionary programs be carried on for several years until they become established. The Powell administra tion has carried on or initi ated a number of programs which fall into this category Revision of the student judici ary and programs designed a,t eliminating student stress are of immediate interest, but above all is the battle for ed ucation reform. With these and other programs at stake, it is up to the students to choose a new student body President who will really continue them. Ironically s enough, much of the current student govern ment leadership remains si lent to the crucial time. It has adopted almost a "plague up on both your houses" attitude. This leadership group is filled with varied backgrounds, all the way from former SP. chairman Bob Wilson to form er UP chairman David KieL All are unanimous that Jed Dietz, the able student legis lator and founder of the Ex perimental College is a good choice for Vice-President, but they are undecided about the Presidency. They view UP nominee Bill Purdy as an able individual who never effectively emer ged from the control of a ser ies of objectionable backers. High on the list is that old re liable "Slippery" Don Car son, a former Student Body Vice-President who aontinm es to have an active voice in UP circles despite his law school studies. Second in this series is UP All right! How did that guy get in there? Wayne Hurder Down With Defernmeutsl ? "We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights, rights, that among these are life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. . . . That to se ments are instituted among Men, deriving their just pow ers from the consent of the governed..." People unite to form socie-. ties and governments to pro tect their lives and to fulfill basic physical and psychologi cal needs. In a democratic so ciety such as ours, the Found ing Fathers of the Declaration of Independence envisioned all men deserving equal protec tion and an equal right to ful fill these basic needs. This does not mean however, that a college student should not have to risk his life in Vietnam. This means he means he should be placed on an equal footing with the high school dropout, the mechanic, and the garbageman. These latter groups deserve just as much opportunity to live, to marry, to rear children and make money as does the- col lege student. Those people who say the student is too valuable to the society to be drafted are view ing the society improperly. They are making the society an end which is to be protect ed by allowing the students greater opportunity to live be cause, according to these peo ple, the student is more valu able to the perpetuation of the Society. What needs to be pointed out to these people is that the so ciety is not an end; the socie ty was instituted, not because some genius decided the peo ple needed something to which they could devote their efforts, but because the people needed some organization to protect their lives and allow them to satisfy other desires. In the United States, the peo ple in the 1700's decided that all people should have an eq ual opportunity to live. Since then there has been no formal change of this decision. When the democratic socie ty (in this case the U. S.) starts deciding that some peo ple have less right to live than others, it has gone astray. It has stopped serving these people, and has begun to give the students better service. It is natural for individuals to place a higher value on themselves than on others, but a democratic society destroys itself when it incorporates these prejudices. New Penal Program Proposed (Editor's note: This article is repreinted from Mentor, a newspaper published by the in mates at the Mass. Correction al Institution.) By STANLEY I. KRUGER, Ph.D. Director of Treatment The classification program is being formulated to serve many purposes and will have three parts. The first will in clude -gathering and ordering appropriate material about each new inmate. Some of the information sought will be in the areas of job skills, prior education and focational train ing, medical and dental prob llems, emotional difficulties, prior treatment and status of ailments, prior criminal his tory and institutional adjust ments, etc. The information -is presented to a classification committee. Recommendations may be made around institu tional placement, job assign ment, educational training, vo cational ttaining, need for counseling, special medical re quirements, etc. Phase three will be in the form of a follow-up to see how the recommendations of the committee are being imple mented. The social worker will periodically contact the man to check on his progress and will be in constant touch with the varying departments to try to help them and the man to meaningfully put into operation the program suggest ed by the committee. It is our hope that this pro gram will give the men an op portunity to improve them selves and to demonstrate the fact that they are trying. Men often complain that only the bad is put in their records and that the Parole Board has no information on which to base their decisions. This will give each individual a chance to compile a good record and to demonstrate to the powers that be that they are willing and able to try to help them selves. But all this will be for naught if the inmate finds on his release a community which looks on him as an "ex-con," which denies him social equa lity, which limits his work op portunity to menial or unde sirable jobs and consigns him to a life in the slums with the same old friends, old haunts and ultimately old patterns of behavior- We are trying to train men to return to the community with useful skills and hopefully new attitudes ready to assume their com munity responsibilities. The community, for its part, must be ready to accept them. Chairman Tom Manley, a Car son protege who agrees with Carsonian hard-nosed politics, but could never develop the skill of his master. With the possibility of such advisors rendering him inoperable, the present student government .leadership feels Purdy would become the Dan Moore of the Caroina campus. SP nominee Bob Travis falls into a different category. He is recognized as being his own man and a tireless worker, but members of the leadership are uncertain of his motives. As a former political worker in Georgia and for the past year the chief political arm twister for Bob Powell, Tra vis is suspected of not being a true liberal. Travis past ex citability in crisis situations ship, for they are afraid he will make some . rash judge ments. Regardless of the reasoning behind it, now is the time for those who have worked for the effective Powell adniinistrat ion programs to make their commitment. The Presidential race is now clouded at a cru cial time, and members of both parties have used bad judgement and bad tactics. This negative approach to student politics was best illus trated by Manley in the first is sue of 'Tour Paper," the UP newspaper. Above a "from the hip" interview with him, was a picture of Manley spraw led out on a chair. His face was flushed with a big "let's just mess around" grin and his wide palm was extended to his readers like a rummy sup plicating for a dime. Under neath was this quote: "Why should I be worried about be ing called names? That's half the fun of playing." But it is playing that makes student government a sandbox. Name-calling and ineffective indecision accomplishes noth ing for the student's welfare. Those who know the future im portance cf key student govern ment programs must make their choice now and back it up, or the efforts of one or two years any be lost in the year to come. Teddy 0' 'Toole pying And Lying Crept Into NS A (An Article In A Series about NSA) I shudder to think how close the National Super visory Board of NSA came to joining in the white wash of the NSA-CIA relationship after we were told by . some long past officials of NSA of the "innocence" of the relationship in the beginning. According to them, at a time when poor NSA lead ers couldn't find money to spread American student -opinion abroad because big bad Joe McCarthy was pur- -ging all the liberals, the liberal-dominated CIA step ped in and altruistically supplied funds, no strings attached and no interest. That story sounded good, and . in fact was about half true. But we soon realized that a half truth was a lie. We realized the loopholes in that story when, dur ing about the fourth day of our investigation, we be gan to see that the CIA spokesmen were giving an en tirely different-story to the press. For the?: general public, their white-wash line was that the money had been given to NSA originally in order that those red blooded American boys could go abroad to Communist infested meetings and shoot the old American cold war line. Naturally, no controls were put on those boys, nor were they allowed to handle the gathering of any sen sitive information. The last point was the pivotal one in both CIA stories, and we found it to be false. Strings were attach CIA received intelligence. The statement of Dennis Shaul, who was president of NSA in 1962-63 was typical: "If I were president now,. I would continue to accept CIA funds. CIA had nothing to do with" how the money was spent; there were no string on us." Soon, sickened by such re marks, we realized what he was really saying: If I were president now, I would continue to daily dupe a million and a half students, I would continue to use the good name of NSA abroad as a cover for United States intelligence work. Yes, we soon learned that Washington was anxious for a white-wash, and was getting it. It's difficult to express the disillusionment we felt upon reading such "news" items as the Time Magazine story, which nev er touched upon the moral issue involved in the NSA CIA relationship, but spent three ages dreawing paral lels between the looks of CIA Director Richard Helms and Rudolph Valentino. The moral issue was brought home to us in the. most vivid, nauseating terms. We had to face and ques tion other past NSA officers who" could barely mana age a disgusted smile and a shrug when questioned about the Dennis Shaul line. They told of the pressure of daily playing the dual role of President of the nation's largest youth group and also that grop's secret liason with the nation's largest espionage group of the constant threat of '' the national security oath they had been tricked into '. signing of knowing that each day some overseas -representative of NSA had contacted a leader in a for eign country, gained his confidence with NSA creen tials, and then sent a complete report of that person and his views to the Central Intelligence Agency (or, . if that overseas representative was "witty," he sent the report to NSA headquarters where it was forwarded to the Agency). For some of those officers, the pressure had been too much. We heard numerous stories of their suf fering mental breakdowns, or just becoming listless, puzzlinglingly disinterested, and even mistrusted by their staffs. These face-to-face descriptions of the destructive ness of secrecy in a democratic organization quickly convinced the NSA that very little innonence could be attached to the beginning of the association with the CIA in light of the moral trap that beginning set for future NSA officers. Whatever innoence there was, perished completely when the CIA' began to receive intelligence informa tion from NSA, no matter how mundane that intelli gence was.
