It is pending vote by other to be "very good because it is directed to recognizing the rights of the student." Cathey thinks the bill is a "long overdue effort to answer some basic questions." He said passage by AAUP of the bfll "reflects that University's in this country are just coming up to the stan dards UNC has had all along."

Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller is expected to reverse his campaign strategy Tuesday with an 'announcement that he will become an active candidate for the Republican presidential nomination. In a brief statement the governor's press secretary Leslie Slote, said Rockefeller would hold a news conference at 11 a.m. EDT in the New York state Capitol Tuesday "concerning his political plans." "This is it," one Rockefeller aide said. He cautioned however that the governor's decision to run was not irreversible. me governor s decision reporteoiv came following recenh polls. Today, according those who make it their business to know such things about 3,600 students will turn out to cast ballots. That means whoever gets 1301 votes or more in either of the elections is the winner, and" the loser can pack his bags and depart the second j floor of Graham Memorial. The polls, according to Norm Zettel, chairman of the elec tions board, will be open from 7:30 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. The votes will probably be counted by ten tonight.

The Hub, Travis, was leasts of it's Hbasisrof its "body," not sumers. Burleson said that award was the initial series of annual awards. college and university in the United States. Werdell, a former NSA staff member and former editor of Moderator magazine, said the passage of the statement is "really necessary to continue a growth of an alliance between students and faculty and administration who are interested in educational reform." Werdell believes the recent approval of the bill by four of the major educational organizations signifies a trust between students and ad ministrators and faculty. He added that the bill's ap proval represents a death of the in loco parentis concept which "should have died five or ten years ago." The statement enumerates six. provisions "for student freedom to learn. According to the preample of the statement, "Each col lege and university has a duty to develop policies and pro cedures which provide and safeguard this freedom." The preamble qualifies the statement by saying that "such policies and procedures should be developed at each in stitution within the framework of general standards, and with the broadest possible participation of the members of the academic com munity." The firts provision propounds the "Freedom of Access to Higher Education.' This section states that "within the limits of its facilities, each college and university should be open to Protection against Impropei Disclosure" by teachers of in formation learned in con fidence. The third provision spells out a need for student rits con cerning "Student Records." This section calls for tninimization of the risk of imnrooer disclosure by a all students who are qualified separation of academic and according to its admission disciplinary records. standards." The bill urges that "under no circumstances should a stu dent be barred from admission to a particular institution on the basis of race." (The idea for the Bill of Rights was conceived in 1960 as the result of the expulsion from colleges of Negro students who had participated in civil rights demonstrations, according to UNC Professor Daniel Pollitt, a member of AAUP. Professor Pollitt was a member of the committee which, in 1961, began drafting the bill.) The bill's second provision calls for freedom "In The Classroom."

Kiel Chosen Outstanding UNC Senior David H. Kiel was chosen to receive the Most Outstan ding Senior Award presented each year by Kappa Alpha RALEIGH (UPI) Although North Carolina's May 4 primary election could bring the most significant changes to the state political scene in this century, the campaign has been one of the dullest in memory. Three forces, liberalism, a Republican upsurge and racial awareness of a type different to the South, have intruded into this state which four years ago considered its Democratic gubernatorial nominee a virtual governor-elect. In addition to nominating gubern atorial candidates, North Carolina voters will chose nominees for the U.S. Senate, various state posts and congress. U.S. Sen. Sam J. Ervin Jr., a staunch southern con servative, is expected to be renominated with ease. He will face the winner of a Republican primary between three unknowns. Despite the abundance of Singing "We shall overcome" through the halls of government Fraternity in honor of William candidates, the Dunaings, a muuiraciai "committee oi 100 ' began a round of meetings with top government leaders to demand food, jobs, housing and guaranteed incomes for the nation's needy. Confusion, delay, dununciation and an almost religious fervor marked the start of the campaign. After running more than five hours behind its schedule of appointments with Cabinet members the petitioners abandoned the schedule. A lunch for 100 prepared by the predominantly white first congregational chuurch was left untouched when the demonstrators failed to show up for it. The Rev. Ralph Abernathy. King's successor as chairman of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference led the com mittee. He said the plans laid by King before his assassination would be adhered to with massive civil disobedience still a tactic to be held in reserve.

He will be presented the award May 9th at a banquet at the Carolina Inn. issues have been few and well hidden. Gubernatorial talk of "law and order" and not much else has made a dull campaign. The exception to this has been Dr. Reginald A. Hawkins, a Negro dentist who is seeking to upset the sons of two former governors in the Democratic primary. Hawkins, a longtime activist in state affairs, has spoken in favor of liquor-by-the-drink, more taxes and open housing. His wnite opponents, Lt. Gov. Robert Scott and J. Melville Broughton, a former state Democratic party chairman, have tried to outdo each other on the law and order theme. If Hawkins gets a large share of the vote and serious estimates range between 1500,000 and 200,000 of 750,000 it might forever change the white politicians' attitude toward members of his race. Although considered one of North Carolina's most liberal governors, former Gov. Terry Sanford avoided campaign handshakes with negroes whenever he could. Candidates trying to overcome a deficit in runoff primaries have tradi tionally purchased ad vertisements showing the Negro precincts in the state's opponent. A substantial Hawkins show ing, however, could force a new attitude with future white candidates striking out for the Negro those who subscribe to this philosophy say it would be difficult for any politician to pass up 100,000 to 200,000 votes. Scott, although he has made no overt attempt to do so, is expected to pick up Hawkins' support in the runoff. Considered a liberal by North Carolina standards, Scott sup porters see him as a means of continuing Sanford's liberal programs and policies. Although tagged as a "liberal" and "progressive," Scott has hidden such traits well. One of the reasons for this is the Republican threat and the GOP belief it will elect its first governor since 1896. The Republican candidates are John L. (Jack) Stickley, a Charlotte textile broker and former International Lions Club president, and James C. (Jim) Gardner, a brash young (35) congressman who unseated veteran Democratic Rep. Harold Cooley two years ago. This is the first time two "names" have made a race for the Republican gubernatorial nomination and only the second time there has been a race at all. Both Stickley and Gardner have been markedly conservatiev and observers believe Scott has turned to the right an ticipating the November election. Interviews will be held Wednesday, May 1 from 3:00 until 5:00 p.m. in the Attorney General's Office in Graham Memorial. Applicants must have a 2.0 average and must live in Morrison next year. The Men's Court heard seven cases involving nine defen dants during April. Four of these were alleged violations of the Honor Code and three were Campus Code. Two freshmen were placed on definite probation terminating September 1. 1938. They were charged with the "intentional removal of candy bars from a vending machine without having made payment for them." No damage to the machine was reported. A freshman pleaded guilty to the charge of "removing books from Lenoir Hall and subsequently selling them." He was found guilty and placed on definite probation for two academic semesters, the longest period a probation sentence may last. Two students were alleged to have "violated the Campus Code at a dormitory dance and to have cursed and verbally abused the House Advisor at the dance." The defendants entered pleas of guilty and received Court Reprimands. A junior was charged with a Campus Code violation in that "on three occasions he entered the woman's dressing room at the gym of N.C. State University." His plea was guilty, and he received a Court Reprimand. A freshman was charged with violating the Campus Code. He was found guilty of resisting arrest by the Chapel Hill Police and of assaulting both College Master and a policeman. He received an in definite probation, the minimum period being until February 1, 1969. A freshman pleaded guilty to the charge that he "lied to a professor to postpone a quiz and subsequently sub mitted a forged note to the professor to substantiate the lie." He received definite pro bation terminating February 1. JL 1969. In the final case heard before spring holidays, a freshman pleaded guilty to the charge "looking at and using information from the test paper of another student in preparation of his own exam." He was placed on definite suspension until January 15, 1969. The bill states that "the con ditions of access to each should be set forth in an explicit policy statement." The fourt section maintains that four standards of student affairs "must be rnaintained if the freedom of students is to be preserved." Areas of student affairs re quiring freedom, the statement says, are freedom of associa tion, freedom of inquiry and expression, student participa tion in institutional govern ment, and student publica tions. Fifth, the statement recom mends off-campus freedom of students. This section states that students are both citizens and members of the academic community, and "as citizens, should enjoy the same freedoms that other citizens enjoy." This section also states that "institutional authority should never be used merely to duplicate the function o 1 general laws." "Only where the institution's interests as an academic com munity are distinct and clearly involved should the special authority of the institution be asserted," the bill reads. The Bill's final section con cerns procedural standards in disciplinary proceedings. The section states that "in developing responsible student conduct, disciplinary-proceedings play a role substan tially secondary to example, counseling, guidance, and admonition."
