Volume 75, Number 157 CHAPEL HILL, NORTH CAROLINA THURSDAY, MAY 2, 1968 Founded February 23, 1S33 mm WW 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 hum 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.

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 bouncing boy from Syracuse became the nemesis of the University Party. And as Bob Travis overcame unsurmountable odds to win National PoMUes'Coime By J. D. WILKINSON of The Daily Tar Heel Staff 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 headquarters is located above Harry's Restaurant and Delicatessen (office phone number: 929-6685). Leaders of the group are Kirk Osborne and Ray Goad. The UNC Volunteers for McCarthy are headed by Dick Bochinski. Working in con junction with the North Carolina Citizens for McCarthy, they have an office in the state headquarters of that group above the Zoom Not many people showed up for the KRC pre-Jubilee be-in Wednesday but that didn't bother those who did.

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. Zoom (Suite Five; phone 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. Grid Star To Head Pro-Gardner Group Special to The Daily Tar Heel RALEIGH Republican 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 primary will be the first direct confrontation between Senators Kennedy and McCarthy; and botn face the possibility of a large write-in vote for Vice Piesident Hubert Humphrey, who made his candidacy of nciai last Saturday.

"I am conHdent that all can- V, didaies. not just the UP, that v, ran fcr office this spring will ' join together now to fulfill the responsibility that all of us have assumed in seeking of fice," Day stated. "I am certainly grateful for the support shown me in the election." Day expressed his gratitude to ail the people who aided him in shic ampaign for stu dent body president. "My sincere thanks to all who helped me out in my campaign, without whose sup port this victory would never have been possible." UP Chairman, Mike Zim merman also expressed thanks to all the campaign helpers and supporters. He stressed the extreme capability of both candidates and the difficult choice the students had to make. "The campus had a difficult decision to make when it voted because there were two ex tremely well-qualified can didates." Zimmerman said, "I think the UP and Ken Day showed the campus that we are not dead, but stronger than ever before." -"I- was-ecstatic over- such a tremendous victory. I think the UP did something that no one thought was possible." Gardner named former North Carolina quarterback Danny Talbott as chairman of the "Jim Gardner Statewide Youth Committee." He said Talbott's job will be to contact college students at all North Carolina colleges and recruit young people to work in his campaign. Gardner caoched Talbott when he played in little league baseball at Rocky Mount. In a speech to campaign workers in Wake County Wednesday morning Gardner pledged to appoint a 50 member efficiency committee of civic and business leaders to study means of making government more efficient. Since his chances have been enhanced by strong showings .'n the New Hampshire and Wisconsin primaries, the stu dent workers have expanded their efforts and are now trying to win delegates for McCarthy i n non-prim aiy states, especially North Carolina. Ten vlsC students traveled to Evuisville. Indiana, last Friday along with 35 other student workers from Duke, Pembroke, and N.C. State. The students carried on a doorto-dror canvass over ihe weekend passing out literature and talking to Evansville voters about Senator McCarthy's campaign. Carl Parker a UNC student who iook part in the Indian wor&, fcaia they went from door :o door "offering -n-form alien as well as gathering it. and discussing the isii23 with those who would listen." He tu'.td that the largest problem that the workers fac ed was apathy. A joint meeting'of McCarthy and Keanedy supporters was held in Alderman Dormiijry Tuesday night at 7:30 pjn. Reformation KEN DAY Hurder expressed pleasure with the results of the election but regrets that it was ac complished so late in the year. "It is unfortunate that the electon had to be so late and the campaign so long as it hampers the winner's chances of making major changes in the little time left." He expressed the hope that he could come through with some of his promises this year and the rest early next fall. Hurder stated, "The main thing I want to do with the DTH is to have it cover ac tivities that are more relevant Students Work For McCarthy I u -I-Fidiau a Mace By MARY BURCH of The Daily Tar Heel Staff UNC Volunteers for McCarthy will leave for In diana this weekend to cam paign for the Democratic Primary there on May 7. 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 isting political frame work to 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 paign this weekend are asked to give a dollar to support the campaign" Dunivant said. "McCarthy is losing ground in Indiana because of Ken nedy's vast financial resources. "Kennedy has bought prime television network time and To CaumiDus The group was addressed by representatives from tcb na tional headquarters of both cand dates, and a general ciiscussicn was held on the views and differences of the two men. The Students for Nixoa currem'y involved distributing literature on are hi the Republican candidate's cam paign ?nd in arranging meetings to discuss the prini.i-ies and the election. Jeff Ganer said the aim of the group is to familiarize U?C students with the posi tions of former Vice-President Nixon.

Kirk Osborne said, "Kennedy is the man who talks best to the different social strata of the United States. . . He has offered domestic pro grams others have not con centrated on. . . We feel he is the man v. bo can unite the people to solve the pro blems of America." n MLltV S WAYNE HURDER to the average student's life here on campus than some of the activities that are- cur rently covered in the paper." "Specifically I have in mind starting an entertainraent page, covering classroom acti vities, such as educational re form, expanding intramural coverage, and covering ac tivities in Chapel Hill and Car rboro that have a bearing on the University." He mentioned great ap preciation for the support he receive din the election and thanks to all the people that helped him with his campaign. has paid for the accomodations of those who support him" he contined. "Most students can give only a limited amount of money for MCarthy but they can give time and energy." Dunivant announced the only cost to those who go to Indiana will be for meals. The cam paigners will be housed in homes of McCarthy supporters in gymnasiums and churches on mattresses. Traveling will be done by bus. The student workers will conduct a door-to-door canvass of the homes in the rural and 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 changes as well. 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. JL 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.
