Tar Heel Staff Photo by George DeWolfe Faculty -Staff Recreation Center Proposed Here A faculty-and-staff recreation center, near the Finley Golf Course on 100 acres of Mason Farm land owned by the Uni- Coed Rooms Women students of the Uni versity requiring dormitory space for the second summer session are asked to sign up in their dormitories between June 16 and June 21. In the event that women students who have been liv ing in town or in Granville Towers wish to move into a dormitory for the second summer session, they should sign up in the Office of the Dean of Women, 202 S o u t h Building, during the same period. At the time the student makes application for a room she is required to pay the room rent of $40 (for a dou ble room) or $60 (for a sin gle room) for a reservation for the second summer sess ion. Failure to sign up for a iroom during the indicated ; period means that the stu i dent may not be able to live jin the University dormitory j or room of her choice. 1 versity, is proposed by a spe cial committee of the faculty, it was announced this week by Dean Wayne A. Danielson, chairman. The club house and recrea tional facilities would be sup ported by faculty members and others associated with tjie University, with initial member ship fees and annual dues, ac cording to the plan. The Danielson Committee is authorized to form a voluntary, non-profit corporation to be known as the Univerity of North' Carolina Faculty-Staff Recreation Association, Inc. The purpose is to "serve the social and recreational needs of its members." A formal proposal will be sub mitted to the University by July 1, said Dean Danielson. It will include request of the Univer sity trusteees to allocate 100 acres of Mason Farm land for the Faculty-Staff Recreation As sociation. A membership campaign will be staged in the fall among the faculty and staff, to determine whether sufficient interest ex ists to go forward with props sals. A prospectus will be pre sented specifying plans in de tail. Dean Danielson said if 400 faculty and staff families agree to become members, that will Vietnam Policy Hit By Labour Official. "There are few 'hawks' in Australia. It's rare to find an 'Aw, let's get in and get it over' attitude toward the Vietnam war." Dr. James F. Cairns, a mem ber of the Australian Parlia ment and chairman of the La bour Party executive, described in an interview Wednesday Au stralia's official position on the Vietnam war and he explained why the Labour Party opposes what is basically his govern ment's pro-American war stand. At the same time Oairns sought to clarify the mystique that con fuses American democratic tra dition with contemporary poli tical policy. "We believe that what con temporary policy is doing is in consistent with American de mocratic tradition." Carins ex plained. "We do not feel that it's help ful for Australia to approve an American policy that doesn't work," he added. Cairns calmly but firmly criticized that the Australian government is not out to produce a workable pol icy, but merely a 'please Am erica' policy." He questioned the contradic- assure assuccess for the project, and the idea will be pursued further. Tentative plans call for a swimming pool, tennis and handball courts, club house, pic nic and camping grounds. Present plans also suggest an initial membership fee of $150 per family. Annual dues will be levied, in accordance with the number of people in the family. Dues will go up to $10 a month, depending upon the number of persons using the facilities. Wilder's 'Our Town' Slated For July 9-11 Five members of the UNC dramatic arts department, Duke's director of student acti vities and a Chapel Hill thea ter regular head the cast for the GM Carolina Playmak er's production of Thornton Wild er's "Our Town." The play, slat ed for July 9-11, will be direct ed by UNC's Mark Schoenberg. The play involves life, death and the hereafter as experienc ed by the people of Grover's Corners, New Hampshire, about tory position of his govern ment which is "paying a premi um on insurance for the fu ture" by supporting the U.S. in Vietnam and is at the same time selling wheat to China. Carins arrived on campus Wednesday for a three day vis it which was sponsored by the YMCA and YWCA. He came via New York where he ad dressed several groups spon sored by the SANE and from Washington where he conferr ed with Senators Fulbright and Dirksen and other senators and representatives. "We want America to be a bit more critical of the kind of support it's getting," Carins said. The Australian politican noted that while his country spent about $20 million for the Vietnam war last year, it also sold about $600 million worth of wheat to China. "The government is under criticism for backing each move of escalation," Cairns said. In the last election he said that about 42 per cent voted for his Labour Party to "withdraw for ces immediately from war. The other near 60 per cent want to see it end by negotiation." Cairns contended that there must be "some clear recogni tion of the National Liberation Front (NLF) in negotiation and that we must accept it as part of the government of South Viet nam after negotiation." "America has to decide whe ther it wants to recognize the NLF or destroy it." Carins said "It might be destroy able... I don't know.. .but if we want to stop the war and go to negoti ate we must recognize the NLF." Cairns believes, as he stres sed in his book "Living with Asia", that "revolutionsaren't exported but rise out of the soil of one country." He thinks "Southeast Asian nations are pretty unstable and the important thing is to iso late them from the cold war. What is happening is critically determined by them and there the turn of the century. The story is told in episodic fash ion by a "stage manager" nar rator, and centers around Dr. Gibb's son George and newspa per editor Mr. Webb's daugh ter Emily. John Wendt, of Duke and a regular with the Durham Thea ter Guild is cast as the ubiquiti ous Stage manger. Kathryn Howell, a rising jun- Continued on Page tit Urn K V V ; A. k " J umm., MI DR. CAIRNS ... . . . Few Hawks At Home is no reason derived from stra tegic interests of the great pow wer can't help self-determination." Dr. Crains favors keeping weapons at home, but not the money, scientists or doctors (if Asians need and ask for them.) He does not dismiss American participation in Asia entirely. America is "in the Pacific and has capacity to help Southeast Asia." In financial terms Cairns su btly remarked that Australian involvement in Vietnam has not created a Crisis in its 'great society.' " Total Vietnam ex penditures amounted last year to less than on fourth of one per cent of the GNP. On Australian campuses "no subject has been so intensely debated as Vietnam in years." Cairns reported. There, as in the country at large, some 40 per cent oppose the war. The other 60 per cent feel "we (Australia) can't pull out." If the Australian debate on the war is hot, the attitude toward military service is cooler than the U.S. draft controversy. A consefcntions cbiector is someone who "has a conscien tiously held objection to mili tary service. . . not onlv on re relieious grounds," Carins ex plained. He continued, "an obiector can say he is not a pacifist. He can say he doesn't support... this war. Some do get out. A num ber have been granted exemp tions from combat and duties... and some are excused from ser vice entirely." The Labour Party has been traditionally opposed to con scription. The Consrvatives a bolished it after World War II when they didn't have enoueh volunteers for Vietnam. One third of the present Australian Vietnam force is conscripted. The balance volunteered. "The Labour Party will help anyone who has a conscien tious objection," Cairns said.
