Volume 75, Number 27 CHAPEL HILL, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1967 Founded February 23, 1893 Gardner-- 6Souik Gopirng Nicefy WUk BesegregaUom xn 'off f rf i By BILL AMLONG of The Daily Tar Heel Staff The free from the problems of Northern urban areas is coping nicely with desegregation, Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare John Gardner said Thursday. "I think the South is now tackling its problems of desegregation with con siderable energy and drive," he said in an interview. "In the North, it's completely wrapped-up with the problems of th cities, . . .and urban poverty. It's very serious." . Gardner said he could not generalize about the connection between Northern desegregation problems and the racial strife of this summer. "Detroit was one of the best cities," he said. "It tried very hard to solve its problems. 'Newark was at the other ex treme. It hadn't worked very hard at its problem. "It's awfully hard to say that there is a direct link with their riots and their desegregation." Negro colleges, he said, are at a crucial point in their histories and "I think they are going to have to get con siderable state support before we're through." The HEW chief said that a plan to aid financially the poorer colleges most of which are Negro '"has had its dif ficulties, but I think we're going quite well. "It's taking time, but we're going to continue it.' Gardner said he was also excited about another area of federal aid to education this one aimed at funding in-. novative primary and secondary school programs conceived by local school systems. "We've received a lot of ideas," he said, "but you never have as many as you want. . "The idea was to throw the ball of creativity back to the local school system. They're not always able to pick it up and run with it, though." Gardner said he wasn't sure just how 'much money had geen poured into the program, but that it was in the hundreds of millions of dollars. The secretary met with a group of students and faculty members earlier Thursday to talk about another kind of educational innovation--the Experimental College. He told them to be wary of becoming so legitimate that they'd become part of the extablishment they were trying to reform, and suggested the Ex perimental College program should adopt not only new . subjects and styles of discussion, but also new methods of teaching, such as "games" which simulate outside-world conditions in the classroom. He also told the group to concentrate on trends, more than on specifics in the attmept to reform education. "I don't ever think we're going to get rid of the problems by dealing with specific lists of what is wrong," he said. t "What you really need is a system that can continue to criticize and renew itself." a .

As host to die 15 visiting col leges and universities, Carolina hopes to get fresh ideas about what can be done to improve the dormitory student's lot and to get greater faculty and ad ministration interest and participation, top faculty and administrators said Thurs day. "We are very hopeful to find from those visiting here what is being done on other cam puses with regard to residence colleges," said Dean of Student Affairs C. O. Cathey. "We plan to get ideas from them and dombine them with our own ex perience and determine the direction we should take on -this campus." Dr. Samuel S. Hill, chairman of the religion department and head of the Chancellor's Advisory Committee on Residential Colleges, urged greater participation, students,1' Hill said, "What we distinguished professor o f need now is to have the faculty and a(miinistrators catch up with what the students have already done." Seventeen U N C students including the five student members of the chancellor's committee will join 45 Carolina facul? members and administrators in hosting the conference. Visiting schools include the other UNC campuses, the University of Mas sachusetts host of the Amherst Conference last fall, which UNC attended and Michigan State University home of Justin Morill College, one of the coun try's leading residence col leges. Both Hill and Cathey said that the three guest speakers "are the best, most qualified men in their field in the coun try." They are: Dr. Nevit Sanford, director of the Institute of Study of Hygiene at Harvard Universi ty, and Dean D. Gordon Rohman, Dean of Justin Mor rill College at Michigan State.

Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare John Gardner said Thursday the na tion's domestic problems can be solved only if citizens work with federal, state and local governments in a "barn-raising spirit of mutual en deavor." The Cabinet official made the statement before an au dience of - more than 1,000 persons who gathered in Memorial Hall to participate in university Diay ceremonies. Gardner s a i d-Amemans have become "uneasy dn our affluence" and he cited several problems which he feels threaten the country's unity. Foremost among these were racial strife, poverty, urban decay, rising crime rates, en vironmental pollution and population control. In addition, he said, the voices of extremists of the right and left "may succeed in pulling the society apart" if ef forts are not made to include the poor and disenfranchised in America's opportunities. "It is time to speak out against those on either side who through words or actions contribute to conflagrations of bitterness and rage," he said. "They wreak more havoc than they know." Such persons, he explained, "cannot find socially worthy meanings and purposes" and so they "cast about desperate ly and seize upon whatever comes to hand extremist philosophies, nihilist politics, bizarre religions, far-out pro test movements." To prevent this, Gardner recommended that a "vigorous local leadership" both" within and outside of govern ment be developed to in corporate all citizens in com mon goals. He said industry, labor, minority groups, state and local government, the universities, churches, farm groups and the press all can help. "It wont be a decent life for any of us until it is for all of us," he said. The welfare, secretary added that there is a disturbing trend toward dissent and divisievness in the nation. "There used to be only a few chronically angry people in our national life. To day all seem caught up in mutual recrimination. . .. " An honorary Doctor of Laws degree was conferred upon Gardner by the University. Gov. Dan K. Moore and former Gov. Luther Hodges of Chapel Hill . attended the ceremonies, as well as Chancellor J. Cariyle Sitterson and Consolidated University Presi dent William Friday.
