The controversy over
Students For a Democratic
Society presenting Judy Collins
at a fund-raising concert on
campus shifted Monday into a
hang-up on specifics.
"Judy Collins is welcome on
this campus. She is not barred
in any way," said
Howard Henry, GM director.
"Small halls such as Gerrard
and Carroll and residence halls
social facilities are available to
recognized student organiza
tions to use and they may
charge admission," Henry
said.
SDS had contacted the Cen
tral Reservations Office of GM
last week to secure university
facilities for the Judy Collins
concert, but according to Hen
ry, "SDS did not contact me,
and. anyone proposing an ad
mission charged function must
come to me."
In a memo concerning the
story which ran Saturday in
The Daily Tar Heel, Henry
said:
"SDS and other recognized
student organizations are not
authorized to present concerts
in Memorial Hall or
Carmichael Auditorium when
admission is charged. They
may present free concerts."

cited by SDS as an exception to

U.S. To Build Defenses
For Red China Missiles
SAN FRANCISCO Defense Secretary Robert S.
McNamara announced Monday the United States
will begin building at the end of this year at $5
billion antiballistic missile system for defense
against Red China in the 1070's.
He said it would also make this country's
force of 1,000 Minuteman ICBM's less vulnerable
to Soviet attack and would protect the United
Staes against accidental Soviet firing of a few
missiles.
In a major policy speech prepared for
delivery before a meeting of United Press
International Editors and Publishers, McNamara
made clear the administration has no intention of
building a $40 billion defense system against ma
jor Soviet attacks.
He said such a major system would be a.
"profitless waste of resources" since the Soviet
Union could always invent new ways to penetrate
it.
Beulali Aims For Texas
BROWNSVILLE, Tex. Hurricane Beulah boiled
through the Gulf of Mexico Monday with 29 dead
in her wake and a possible landfall ahead in
northern Mexico or the Texas Gulf Coast.
Beulah, moving west-northwest about 280 miles
due east of the Mexican port city of Tampico,
was expected to turn more northwesterly toward
the threatened Texas Gulf Coast.
Beulah swirled winds estimated at 115 miles
per hour and increasing at the center, with gales
lashing. 250 miles to the north. Seven-foot waves
crashed on the beaches in south Texas along St.

Greater Participation Urged
In Fall Anti-War Movement
By WAYNE HURDER
of The Doily Tor Heel Staff
The Vietnam Summer group,
an anti-war organization, ask
ed for greater participation in
the movement at a meeting in
Gerrard Hall Sunday night
Their fall plans include
spreading of information on
the war and alternatives to the
draft, setting up more anti-war
groups, and direct action
against the war involving a
demonstration and possible
civil disobedience in
Washington, D.C., on Oct. 20
21. George Vlasits, a member of
the Vietnam Summer ex
ecutive committee, told the 120
persons that the group was
"developing a multi-phased at
tack on the Vietnam policy and"
there is room in the organiza
tion for persons whose op
position to the war ranges
. from moral to direct action."
A state wide conference on
the war and the draft is
scheduled for Oct. 7 and 8 at
the Methodist Student Center
at Duke. The meeting will
bring college students together
from all over the state to ex
change ideas on anti-war
work.
One of the main goals of the
group will be to set up draft
counseling.

Travis urged the party to
grow with the issues, "to bring
in men and women of in
telligence, of integrity, of
energy and devotion to their
government who will always
keep its ideals high and pro
tected." "Our contest is between
those who are contented and
those who wish to move ahead,
between those who want to
preserve the status quo to pro
tect their own self interests at
the expense of all the students
on this campus, and those who
want a better way of life on
this campus for all
students."
Travis closed his remarks
with a plea for the party to
reexamine its position.
Judy Weinberg, terining the
m r A -
Selective Service System
"inimical to what democracy
is all about," explained that
the proposed counseling
service would "present to the
fellows on campus and in high
school the alternatives to the
draft under the law."
The draft counselors will
also provide information on the
illegal alternatives to the draft,
but, Bernard Gelman said, the
group "cannot urge students to
resist the draft" illegally.
That, he adds, is solely the
student's decision. "We're just
there to give the student the
information."
Dr. Lewis Lipsitz, of the
political science department,
urged faculty members to take
a larger role in the peace
movement. The main contri
butions they could make, he
said, would be lending their
prestige to the group and help
ing to finance it.
Dr. Forrest Read, of the
English department, told the
audience not to neglect the
good that lobbying
Congressmen could do.

Simpson Wants Change
For Freshman Offices
By STEVEN ENFIELD
of The Daily Tar Heel Staff
Former freshman president
Bland Simpson advocated Sun
day the abolishment of the ex
isting ali-cacnpis ele ctive
system of freshmen class of
ficers in favor of an executive
commission.
Simpson, prime mover of the
plan, called the meeting in the
Woodhouse Room of GM "to
establish support, iron out
details and devise methods for
effecting the reform."
The proposed system, ac
cording to Simpson, basically
consists of creating "an 11
man executive commission

The amount of work the
group does this fall will depend
on how many workers it gets,
according to James Kahan, a
graduate student in
psychometrics.
If there are enough people
the organization will canvas
the residence halls and have
talks on the war in them.
He said there was a chance
of another Vietnam referen
dum, in which case the group
will try to hold as many talks
as possible.
Bernard Gelman told the au
dience that Vietnam Summer
was $150 in debt and the Judy
Collins fund-raising ap
pearance, denied the use of
GM facilities, "will not be put
to rest." He mentioned Phil
Oakes as another folk singer
who might come here to help
the group raise money.
Much of the money was
spent to put out 6,000 leaflets
for registering students.

"On the contrary " the state

Loflin, a Morehead Fellow

"I have never alleged that

this year party members will
assume a larger working role
in the party and party policy
will come from the students.
The party intends to send out
questionnaires to the students
and man booths in busy places
to give students a chance to
voice their opinions, according
to Zimmerman.
"We must get the ideas from
the students or we defeat our
purpose," he added.
The party is also em
phasizing the youth of its
leaders.
"The party is more open
than any other student party

ticket, , and ' ; one freshman

mittee was formed to ascertain
figures on the number of
freshmen in each residence

The idea of having an ex
ecutive commission in con
junction with the five class of
ficers was brought up but soon
rejected.
Simpson, a veteran of
political- office, told those at
tending he was displeased
with the general apathy of
UNC students (e.g., only two
thirds of last year's freshmen

"Certainly no rational
human being goes around
boasting of slaughtering in

Loflin urged the Army

matter rather than make
statements "purporting t o

never made."

The re-organization includes
plans for closer relations
