JH Boyd Gets Go For Israel Trip By MARIE STRONG Professor Bernard Boyd will go to the Holy Land this sum mer, after all. The religion professor here has been on archaelogical ex peditions to Israel each sum mer since 1963, but the Israeli Egyptian conflict threw some doubts into whether he would be able to return this summer. Last Thursday, he received the official word from Israel that he could continue plans for this summer's dig. This summer, Boyd is com bining the annual Near Eastern Archaeological trip with the Un versity - sponsored expedition. The expedition plans to leave July 1 and return to the States August 27.

Tar Heel Staff Photo by Geonre DeWolfe Siesta Time At The Intimate twenty, fifty volunteers for the Hebrew University - University of North Carolina Expedition, fifty volunteers for the Near Eastern Archaeological Semi nar, and ninety native workers. Among the staff will be Profess or Dixon, (now in Greece, but who will join the dig group in the Middle East), Professor Jack Sanson, and Professor Henry Boren of the UNC History De partment. Boyd has had over three hun dred volunteer applications. Thirty-five applicants have been selected thus far. Most of the volunteers come from Eu rope because it is cheaper to get to Israel from Europe than from the States. Boyd says, however, that at least fifteen of the volunteers will be from the United States. Volunteers must pay for their own transportation, but the Uni versity will pay their room and board while they are on the dig. Boyd is himself paying the expenses of three of the volun . teers. In describing the selected volunteers, Boyd says, "They must have a willingness to work long hard hours." The site at Tel Arad, about twenty miles east of Beersheba and thirty miles south of Jeru salem, was once a fortress city built by King Solomon and de stroyed and rebuilt four times between the time of Solomon and the time of the Babylon ian captivity. It is the first major site to be excavate in the Negev Desert. Boyd has made previous exca vations at the same site. Usual ly, all findings are the property of the Department of Antiquities in Israel, but this year, UNC will get one half of the diggings because it is a sponsor of the expedition to Tel Arad. ? c u Statement On Housing By Dietz I have been deeply concern ed of late about the open hous ing controversy in the town of Chapel Hill. Of course, any mat ter that concerns the welfare of even a small segment of the stu dent body merits the full atten tion of the Student Government. The last four presidents of the student body have gone on record as being staunch sup porters of racial integration and equality of opportunity. Mi chael Lawler ignored wide spread student disapproval in 1963 to urge Chapel Hill mer chants to renounce segregation. Bob Spearman agreed with Law ler and called for the passage of the United States Civil Rights Act of 1964. Nearly a year ago Bob Powell received the coop eration of the University Ad ministration in removing the ad dresses of segregated off-campus living facilities from the list of university-approved housing. In the absence of Student Body President Bob Travis, I feel compelled to issue a state ment confirming and continuing student government policy in support of progress in race re lations. Student Government leaders have branded segrega tion a "morally indefensible" policy, and I personally feel that housing discrimination in Chapel Hill is both morally in defensible and contrary to the welfare of -the students at his University. I whole-heartedly endorse the open housing reso lution currently before the Cha pel Hill Board of Aldermen, and it is my sincere wish that this resolution be passed June 26. The time has come for this most enlightened community in the South to continue the work begun nearly four years ago. John E. Dietz Vice-President of the Student Body .Dietz Backs Ben fioiisi .Resolution Housing discrimination in Chapel Hill is "both morally in defensible and contrary to the welfare of the students of this University," Student Body Vice President Jed Dietz said Wed nesday. In a prepared statement, Dietz said he wholeheartedly endorsed the open housing re solution which the Chapel Hill Board of Aldermen is present ly considering. Final actio, on the resolu tion, which supports an indivi dual's right to acquire adequ ate housing "in any area of the community without regard to race," is expected at the board's meeting Monday night. The board drew up the reso lution after the Carrboro-Cha-pel Hill Housing Council pre sented a petition to the Alder men claiming there is "suffi cient evidence to indicate dis crimination in the sale and ren tal of housing" in the towns. The peition with nearly 200 names, was presented to the board June 14. Dietz said his position follow ed the paths of the last four presidents of the student body who have gone on record "as being staunch supporters of ra cial integration and quality of Where The Before a student is accepted to a summer session at UNC he must pay tuition and fees. The tuition is $30. The fees to tal $21 and are divided into four or five main categories. Three dollars of the student's fees supplement infirmary charges (doctor's fees and room fees). The Student Union gets $3.20 which is used as part of its building funds. The Summer Session Student Activi ty Fund receives $1.75 of the fee, and this is used to sup plement student projects car: ried on by Student Government during the summer. The last two categories may be grouped together because they are interchangeable. A re gistration fee of $5.50 and a materials and service fee of $7.55 go to various departments around campus. Books for the library, equipment for science laboratories, and equipment for various sports are purchased from these two fees. Due to the changes in distri bution of these funds from month to month more exact ex planations ore impossible. The Summer School budget of $18,575 is made up of a $1.50 fee from each enrolling regu lar summer school student. The budget is divided among several organizations on cam pus as follows: ng opportunity." "Student Government leaders have branded segregation a 'morally indefensible' policy, and I personally feel that hous ing discrimination in Chapel Hill is both morally indefensi ble and contrary to the wel fare of the students of this Uni versity," he said. The student body presidents Dietz referred to are Mike Law ler, Bob Spearman and Bob Po well. Lawler, despite widespread student oppositon, urged Cha pel Hill merchants to renounce segregation in 1963. As student body vice presi dent, Spearman supported Law ler; and later as president, he called for the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. It was Powell who worked with the University adminis tration last fall in removing the addresses of segregated off campus living facilities from the list of university-approved housing. . "In the absence of Student Body President Bob Travis, I feel compelled to issue a state ment confirming and continu ing student government policy in support of progress in race relations," Ditz said. Money Goes Graham Memorial gets $8, 000 for entertainment and oper ational expenses. Student Government gets $4,960 for operational expenses. This includes the Tar Heel Bud get of $1,600. The Music Department gets $1,850 for various recitals, con certs and operational expenses. -The YM-YWCA receives $2, 900 for its summer programs. $800 goes to departmental social affairs and $65 is allot ted for miscellaneous expen ses. Here We Are There have been numer ous inquiries as to where the Tar Heel is distributed. The answer is all over the campus. All dorms that house regular summer stu dents receive Tar Heels, with the exception of Granville Towers. Y-Court receives 500 copies, Graham Memorial receives the same and oth er points, such as the Scut tlebutt, the Bell Tower Park ing Lot, South Building and the Dining Halls receive the papers every Tuesday aft ernoon at 4 and on Friday morning at 9.
