Volume 74. Number 139 LB J Arrives In Uruguay PUNTA DEL ESTE, URUGUAY (AP) Behind a tight security screen, President Johnson flew in Tues day for a difficult summit conference declaring "we must auicken the pace" of Before Dlunfiins into the lems at Wednesday's first summit session, the Presi dent arranged a series of conferences with five Latin American presidents that may have given him an idea of what he faces. These were his colleagues from Argentina, Colombia. The Dominican Republic, Mexico and Venezuela. Latin American nations want more U. S. economic aid under the Alliance for Progress, and they want to spend these dollars anywhere in the world, not just in the United States as they now are required to do. Faced with a balance of payments problem, Washing ton is unwilling to do this. Referring to this, a U. S. Government source re marked that the United States is faced with a choice between "desirable policy and harsh necess ity." Johnson made his remarks on the Alliance for Pro gress as he set foot on South American Soil for the first time at the Montevideo Airport. NASA, NAA Blamed WASHINGTON (AP) Witnesses at two separ ate Congressional hearings blamed North American Aviation, Inc. and the National Space Agency Tues day for the Apollo spacecraft fire that killed three astronauts last Jan. 27. Top officials of North American, principal con tractor for the spacecraft, acknowledged their firm was guilty of major equipment deficiencies. They told a House space agency oversight subcommittee that they had not anticipated a fire on the ground. Astronaut Frank Borman, testifying at the openings of Senate Space Committee hearings on the accident, said responsibility for the fire was "shared by the contractor and NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration.)" Borman, a member of the eight - man board set up by NASA to probe the tragey and recommend changes, urged moving ahead on the entire space program. After several experts on the board had testified that the fire probably resulted from defects in the bundles of wiring inside the capsule, Borman said , that the fault for that rested with North American Aviation and of NASA. i Strike Delay Approved WASHINGTON (AP) Congress, moving with ur gency, approved with few dissenting voices Tuesday a resolution President Johnson asked to head off a nationwide railroad strike 'set to erupt at midnight Wednesday. The machinery was set in motion to rush the doc ument to Johnson for his signature in Punta Del Este, Uruguay, where he is meeting with the chiefs of state of tne Latin American members of the Alliance for Progress. Within minutes, the Senate voted 18 to 1 and then the House 396 to 8 to pass a resolution to extend un til May 3 the no - strike period in the railway shop craft dispute. Debate was short in both chambers an hour ; andxa half in the Senate, 20 minutes in the House. The dissenters protested mainly that there should be permanent legislation to deal with strikes that cre ate naional emergencies so Congress wouldn't have to act under the pressure of crises.

Demolition should be com pleted this week, according to Rev. John H. Houston, the new chaplain of the center.

"You have to look at the thing as a whole it's a composite of one day's experience in the life of many people it's great;" Betty How To Judge Fellow Students Is Discussed By Honor Court By HUNTER GEORGE DTH Staff Writer Thirteen young men sat down together. Monday night to discuss ways of judging their fellow students fairly. They listened to Student Body President Bob Travis tell them he would like to see their organization the Men's Honor Court become an "au tonomous body'V-a separate wing of student government, removed from. the "arena of politics." They heard newly-appointed Attorney General David Le-, Barre support Travis' call for moderation and consideration in handling honor and campus code cases. And they heard Dean of Men William G. Long go over a W3 lPTp South Building for days, out all of their creativi Carnival Of Drama Setzer number of suggestions he said they should consider when judging their peers. The meeting, which is re peated at the beginning of each semester, is designed to acquaint new members of the Honor Court with ideas they will need to know and situ ations they may encounter. It was not an indoctrination. Nobody told any member of the Court how to handle a spe cific case. In fact, Dean Long urged the members to exercise indi vidual iudement. even if it conflicted with administration or faculty sentiment. "It's much better," he said, "to get differences of opinion out in the open rather than go around swallowing spit. -YV - Choice A Tribute n Student Body President Bob Travis said Tuesday he inter prets his selection as the only student member of a special presidential committee as "a tribute to the national reputa tion of Carolina's Student Gov ernment." Travis was appointed v by President Johnson last week to serve on a committee "to consider ways of providing suDoert for certain overseas activities of private American voluntary organizations that in the national interest de serve and require public sup port." The committee was formed as a result of the report given the President reviewing the relationship between the Cen tral Intelligence Agency and private American voluntary organizations. Several private organizations were giving money to the National Student Association.

UNC Win Debate On Ivy League By JULIE PARKER DTH Staff Writer "Ivy League Schools don't recognize the student as a whole person, as a part of his society. They isolate him in academia and ignore tech nical competence in science that's a must now." That opening statement sum med up Harvard's line of at tack as they faced UNC in a debate in Howell Hall Monday night. UNC lost the argument, but won the point, tacitly con ceding: Resolved, the Ivy League schools no longer set the nation's educational stan dard. Yes, Harvard put up a nearly air - tight case for the multi - universities and small avant garde colleges as the pace-setters of higher educa tion. UNC shoveled out some im pressive quotations from for mer presidents of Harvard, statistics on Ivy League mo nopoly of Woodrow Wilson Fel lows and National Merit Scho lars, and even threw in the New York Social Register for good measure But by the time of the sec- ond rebutSal speech UNC's Maurice Stocks and Craig Bradley were running low on pro - ivy material and began repeating their original set figures. "The reason Harvard's been knocking our figures is that they haven't any," Stocks asserted. Harvard's Jim Coone countered, "I believe my opponent would impress you as a 30-30-30 himself." "This creative tension pays rich dividends." The dean went on to say that the Honor System is the "University" Honor System, and therefore must be sup- ported iby students, faculty and administration if it is to survived This remark was directed against . the "private F" prac- tice, by which some p rotes- sors, when they catch a stu dent cheating, flunk him in the course rather than turn him in to the Honor Court. An Honor Court member, he added, should not hesitate to suspend a student if he is proven guilty, but neither should he hesitate to "flex and adapt" the rules to specific sit- uations. Plans Changed The .North Carolina String Quartit will not appear today because of the illness of one .of its members. Instead, a regular stadent recital will be h.Md at 4 in Hill. Founded February 23. 1893 Bob Travis distinguished Americans from public and private government including: Senators J. W. Ful bright and Richard B. Russell, Representative Carl Hayden, Dr. Milton Eisenhower, presi dent of Johns-Hopkins Univer sity. Dr. Frank Rose, nrpsidpnt Coone admitted that the Yale exchange program with Fiji cited by UNC . was uni que "and probably a good place for my Yale colleag ues." But the large state univer sities set the pace, he stated: They educate not just the top 10 per cent but strive for the national ideal of educat ing anyone who wants educa tion for little or no fee. wrell as liberal arts education in sciences, while Ivy League school are purely liberal arts. They experiment with com puter learning, television oth er advanced teaching aids. Avant garde small colleges, Harvard said, spur curricul um changes over the whole nation through their experi ments with ungarded cour ses and unstructured require ments. UNC's rebuttal offered the traditional Ivy defense that it was turning out top scholars setting an ideal standard that counted, not following the national median. The Oxford styl3 debate was conducted without judg- es, so the only way to mea sure tne teams was Dy au dience support (heckles, com ments, hisses and queries are legal in Oxford style). And the audience (of UNC speech students) gave a good deal of applause to the Har vard arguments. That's los ing the argument but winning the point UNC's always made anyway large state univer sities have it all over the Ivy League. The dean also said, with certain reservations, that in the case of an upperclassman there is generally less excuse for plagiarism, and therefore the longer a student has been in the University, the more se vere the punishment should be. Calling for "equity and con- sistency" in sentencing con- victed students, Long further stated that a student who turns himself in (which is rare) should be given every possiDie leniency, witnout sac rificing justice. The thirteen young men sat quietly and listened intently as the dean spoke. Some took notes, others just listened. All considered the task that lay ahead of them. V " " " V "' I .
