Former Victim
Of Speech Bam
Will Talk Here
By TODD COHEN
of Th Dally Tar Heel Staff
Frank Wilkinson former
plaintiff in the speaker-ban
controversy i s tentatively
scheduled to speak Wednesday
May 15 at 8 p.m. in Howell
Hall.
Wilkinson chairman of the
Committee to Abolish the
House Un-American Activities
Commiltee will talk on his
opoosit'on to the congressional
body.
Eric Clay chairman of the
Carolina Political Union which
is sponsoring the talk feels
Wilkinson's appearance will be
"a victory for free speech."
Wilkinson was denied
permission to speak here in
March 1966 consequent to his
invoking the fifth amendment
in California in 1952.
Wilkinson and others opposed
to the North Carolina law in
stigated a law suit in the North
Carolina courts saying the law
placed unconstitutional restirc
tions on the rights to free
speech and the freedom to
hear.
Clay said Wilkinson feels he
has earned the right to speak
here due to the dissolution of
the speaker ban.
(UNC is the only place in
which Wilkinson has been
denied the right to speak Clay
said.)
Clay believes Wilkinson will
have "something relevant to
say in the field of civil
liberties."
Wilkinson is presently con

GVs Destroy Viet Battalion
SAIGON American paratroopers Wednesday all but wiped
out a North Vietnamese battalion just north of Hue and
thwarted what U.S. intelligence believes may have been a
Communist plan for a May Day attack on the old imperial
capital.
At least 334 North Vietnamese were reported killed and
95 captured in the fighting thait swirled for two days in
around the village of Phuoc Yen, five miles north of Hue.
"They're still counting bodies," UPI Correspondent Raymond
M. Wilkinson reported from the scene.
Wilkinson said the Communist prisoners reported their bat
talion commander, executive officer and all their company
commanders had been killed. A North Vietnamese battalion
has between 350 and 400 men.
U.S. and South Vietnamese spokesmen reported another
279 Communists were killed in five other battles in Huang
Tri-Q. South Vietnam's northernmost province. Three of the
battles involved U.S. Marines who reported 43 Americans
killed and 194 wounded.
Police, Columbia Students Clash
NEW YORK Night-stick-wielding police clashed with
students hurling rocks at Columbia University Wednesday as
student-faculty strike leaders opened independent "liberated
classes" to compensate for the unprecedented total shutdown
of the university.
The clash took place when a crowd of 150 students who
had been attending a rally in Columbia's main plaza surged
toward the gates to hear black militant H. Rap Brown,
Jesse Gray, Negro rent-strike leader, and Charles Kenyatta
chief of Harlem's "Mau Mau" militants speak in the street
outside to 300 strike sympathizers from Harlem.
Police moved in, apparently to open a path, and fist sights
broke out. Heads of both students and police were bloodied
and there were several arrests. Ambulances took the injured
to the hospital.
U.S. Pullout Won't Stop War: Thieu
SAIGON South Vietnam's president and vice president
vowed Wednesday that pullout by the United States and other
allies would not stop their nation's fight against the Com-,
munists.
"This is a dnagerous time for the people. We must protect
ourselves. Eyen if the allies leave us, we must continue
fighting," President Nguyen Van Thieu said in a speech
to 5,000 workers students and children at Da Nang.
In Saigon Vice President Nguyen Cao Ky told about 6,000
persons that U.S. Sens. Robert F. Kennedy and Eugene McCarthy
have no right to criticize South Vietnam since neither has set
foot in the country. He said both would change their views on
the war if they visited here.
Ike 'Satisfactory' In Hospital
MARCH AFB, Calif. - Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower is
progressing "very satisfactorily" and has no further chest
discomfort grom his fourth heart seizure in 13 years, doctors
at March AFB hospital reported Wednesday.
The 77-year-old former President was stricken Monday after
a round of golf at his winter home at Eldorado Country
Club and brought by military helicopter the 34 miles to

The second would declare ;

Tuesday's elections surprised
a lot of people. :
Jed Dietz lost.
That in itself is the single
most surprising statement of
the year.
Everybody was predicting
that Jed Dietz would win, and
win big.
.-But . -"V- v
He lost bit by over 200 '
votes. -Everybody
is asking why
Dietz lost, especially by 200
votes.
Jed Dietz lost because he
made political mistakes.
Mike Zimmerman, who as
chairman of the University
Party ran Ken Day's cam
paign, made no mistakes. That
was why Dietz lost.
Dietz. as of the day classes
began 'after Easter, had no
staff.
He was forced to work by
himself and with precious few
other people.
Suddenly the only name that
made the news was Ken Day.
Jed Dietz was the forgotten
man of student government.
And as Jed Dietz was forgot
ten, Ken Day will b e
remembered.
He will be remembered as
the man who beat the un
beatable. Dietz by virtue of his
overwhelming win over. Noel
Dunivant last year, was con
sidered unbeatable.

The Presidential campaigns
of Senators Robert F. Kennedy
and Eugene McCarthy have
continued to grow quietly on
campus in the last few weeks
wiiile a small Nixon faction
has organized to lead the
former Vice-President's cam
paign at UNC.
The Kennedy and McCarthy
camps have already corralled
large numbers of student
workers but Richard Nixon
and the other candidates and
"non-candidates" have thus far
been unable to inspire much
enthusiasm among North Caro
lina students.
The Students for Kennedy

Harry's Restaurant and
Delicatessen (office phone
number: 929-6685). Leaders of
the group are Kirk Osborne
and Ray Goad.

Analysis
the presidency, Ken Day,
through an overwhelming
negative vote, attained the
tiighest seat of the niversi
ty. Where did the negative vote
come from
It came from the people
who backed George Kirchbaum
in the Student Party Con
vention. There is but one way
that Jed Dietz could have
overcome the anti-Dietz vote.
That one way would have
for the Krichbaum supporters
to have worked for Dietz.
The first person who could
have changed things is
Krichbaum himself.
Krichbaum, .who is the god
of the lower quad promised
Dietz that he would not support
Day. He not only did not sup
port Day, but he remained
silent throughout the entire
campaign, and in so doing
allowed Dietz execution orders
to go through without op
position. The second person who could
have stopped the Day victory
was Tom Benton. Benton, as
a legislator, was the strongest
conservative voice in the SP,
next to Krichbaum.

number: 942-3869).
The Kennedy student
organization presently claims
about 150 active workers. The
local movement is now fairly
welljorganized despite a late
start caused by Senator Ken
nedy's delay in announcing his
candidacy.
The UNC branch of Students
for Kennedy is working in con
junction with similar groups
on the campuses of Wake
Forest, UNC-G, N.C. State,
UNC-C and Davidson.
The Chapel Hill office is the
center for all student activities
in behalf of Kennedy's cam
paign in North Carolina.
The UNC Volunteers for
McCarthy claims 200 active
workers. They are working in
dependent of other student
movements in the state.
The UNC Students for Nixon,
led by Jeff Gayner (203
James; phone number: 933
4441). claim about 25 to 30
active workers. Their efforts
have been confined largely to
the North Carolina campus,
mainly in conjunction with the
s t u d ent-faculty preference
polls.
s
Benton, also, remained silent
in the campaign and. in so
doing lent support to the fall
of Dietz.
And then there was a third
voice who could have saved
Jed Dietz from defeat. That
third voice was the voice of
Robert M. Travis. By re
maining silent throughout the
campaign, Travis. just as did
Krichbaum and Benton,
okayed the execution order out
on Dietz.

Rep. Jim Gardner named a
former North Carolina football
star to his staff Wednesday,
and continued his campaign
for the gubernatorial nomin
ation with a call for
governmental reform.
The Students for Kennedy
are sending workers into the
counties and precincts of four
to six congressional districts
in North Carolina. Their cur
rent goal is, in the words of
Kirk Osborne, "... to get
eight pro-Kennedy delegates to
Chicago (for the Democratic
National Convention)."
He added. "That seems to
be optimistic. . . We have
been told that two delegates
would bring us natioual
recognition."
The McCarthy organization
has been concentrating its ef
forts lately in raising funds
for the campaign in Indiana.
The upcoming Indiana

confrontation between Senators
Kennedy and McCarthy; and

UNC Volunteers for

Noel Dunivant vice-president
of the group urged all
students who support
McCarthy to go to Indiana.
"Indiana is the last time the
east coast students will have
the opportunity within the ex

work for McCarthy and his
ideas" he said.
Last weekend about 50
students from Duke, N.C. State
and UNC went to Evansville
to campaign. This weekend
there be over 7000 college
students about 150 from North
Carolina actively campaigning
for McCarthy, Dunivant said.
"Those who support
McCarthy and cannot cam

to give a dollar to support
the campaign" Dunivant said.

Dunivant announced the only
cost to those who go to Indiana
will be for meals. The cam

homes of McCarthy supporters
in gymnasiums and churches
on mattresses. Traveling will
be done by bus.
The student workers will

urban areas surrounding
Evansville as well as the city
Dunivant noted. The group will
be hitting the shopping centers
and the factories at the shift

Next week the group will
call a press conference to kick
off the "McCarthy Million"
campaign. The title signifies
the million students across the
nation who support McCarthy
and the million dollars the
group plans to raise.
Dunivant said he did not
know the latest total amount
raised but it was "probably
about $100,000" so far.

Dick Bochinski expressed
great admiration for Eugene
McCarthy in describing why
the volunteers have banded
together to aid his race for
the Democratic nomination
and the Presidency.
"We see in McCarthy." he
said, "a new type of political
integrity. He came out for nis
beliefs when others were
afraid to stand up for their
own. Senator McCarthy marks
a new type of political
personality that is marked by
integrity and reason. . . he
has established and maintained
great support within the
American academic com
munity." Thus far, no student groups
supporting the candidacies of
Vice-President Hubert H .
Humphrey and New Wrk
Governor Nelson A.
Rockefeller have evidenced
themselves.
However, now that both have
made official public pro
nouncements of their decisions
to run the likelihood of student
pro-Humphrey and p r o -Rockefeller
groups arising is
greatly increased.
