Fach year this responsibility becomes more difficult as demands for popular entertainers increase and prices soar. During the month of November, the Carolina Union Board will be presenting the Rascals, Judy Collins and the Association. The Board feels these acts represent both quality and variety. In planning the entertainment for the remainder of the year, including Jubilee, the Board is interested in selecting entertainers which will meet the interests of the students. To facilitate this, students who are interested in voicing their opinions are urged to complete the following form and return it to the Information Desk at Graham Memorial or mail it to the Carolina Union Board Graham Memorial. The list will be compiled and the Board will investigate the possibilities of presenting the most requested acts. In addition to nvestigating these acts, the Board will publish the compiled list, giving the .progress of the investigation and explanations of which acts are -md -ire not available and why.

This is the opinion of Dr. James C. Ingram, Dean of the UNC Graduate School, who concurs with the general feeling among educators and employers across the nation." "You will note that the same proportion of people today have earned their PhD's as people who earned bachelor's degrees at the turn of the century," he pointed out. "When you compare this Richard Nixon, who came in second received 1384 votes for 43 percent of the vote. Third party candidate George Wallace received 182 votes for 4 of the totals and various write:in candidates gathered 96 votes or 2.5 of the total.

Dividing the total vote into categories once more, Gardner faired a little better among the undergrads receiving 34.2 of the vote to Scott's 65.8. The margins of Scott's victory among the other three divisions were much greater though. As part of the mock balloting, a referendum on National issues was also held.

An initial response indicates that open discussions on current issues is something that should be continued throughout the year." "Student Government is undertaking the sponsorship of a series of such discussions beginning this Monday."

In a statement made Wednesday, Gardner said, "For some time, I've been watching with growing concern certain events that have been happening at the University of North Carolina.

The present system of nominating conventions received the smallest precentage, 14, as a method of nominating the candidates.

"We must face squarely the question of why the committee exists, how it came about, how it can best operate and what the appropriate visitation policy for this campus should be." The subject of visitation was first broached last spring by the MRC who passed a resolution which was subsequently turned down. . Informal talks wrere begun during the summer culminating in a decision reached in An Explosion In Education the UXC graduate school has turned into a flood in the last five years according to Dr. Ingram. The resulting boom has caught the Universitv f TPQifnrhim Gardner went on to condemn Chancellor J. Carlyle Sitterson for a remark he made during a press conference Tuesday concerning a statement by Dean of Student Affairs C. O. Cathey to the effect that current laws against marijuana are too stringent. Sitterson clarified his "Time-Out Day" statement Wednesday by saying that he feels state narcotics laws could be better enforced if they differentiated among drugs. 'If I understand North Carolina legislation," Sitterson said, "there are a good many drugs all lumped, together and the penalty is quite severe. 5 "If the penalties are inflexible, ways are generally found to reduce the charges in such matters, so what society really attempts to do is define idea, that of dividing the electoral votes from each state proportionately to the number of popular votes they received received 36 of the vote.

In selecting the student representatives. Day went first to the MRC who later met with the Board of Governors and then selected two representatives. He then went to the WRC who in turn met with their leaders and selected two more representatives. Student legislature was called on to elect a representative to the committee and Day appointed his personal representative for the committee. These recommendations so me what of "balance with regards to handling the new and different problems accompanying the graduate escalation. "Carolina became a really nationally recognized university in the Thirties and post-World War II period," says Dr. Ingram. "Of course, in terms of ranking a university acadmically, the graduate school is used in determination of rank. We have always been By a law and punishment designed to promote the optimum in effectiveness." Sitterson went on to say that the law makes little, if any, differentiation among narcotics, although experts have shown that some drugs are more dangerous than others.

Although marijuana is legally-classified as a narcotic, scientificallv it is classified neither as a narcotic nor as a drug, but rather as a non-addictive herb. Dean Cathey said Tuesday that he felt the marijuana laws were too stringent. Chancellor Sitterson, when asked to comment on the statement . later, supported Dean Cathey. Gardner also took the opportunity to berate student "activists" and to announce his intention to suppress them if he is elected governor. "I was further shocked to read," Gardner said, "that a certain group of students are going to use pressure on the University by threatening to march because girls are not allowed in men's dormitories." This was ah obvious reference to the student "march" held last Monday night in support of open visitation. Gardner's attitude was in marked contrast to that of Dean of Men James O. Cansler who addressed the marchers Monday night.

This report has been compiled, printed, and made available to all members of the committee." T believe quite firmly that Begin very proud of L'NCs position in the regional and national ratings." The most recent Allen Carter ranking of universities (1963) had Carolina 20th in the nation academically. It is also noteworthy that the school also stands 20th in the number of doctors produced in the last decade. The Carter assessment is based on strength of faculty (department heads and senior Jhiaiicelior tuden told the gathering of several hundred students that he "appreciated" their presence and their "concern" and that he hoped that the committee could reach a decision that would be acceptable to them. Gardner posed the question "What has happened to the moral fiber of North Carolina?" and asked why Governor Moore " isn't standing up against this type thing." Gardner concluded his statement with an assurance that when he is governor, he will " . . .have the courage to stand up for what's right and decent" and do all he can "to oppose this type thinking on our college campuses in this state." Candidate Gardner has appealed to Wallace supporters by saying that he has no disagreements with the man Day Lends Aid To Sitterson Student Body President Ken Day gave verbal support to Chancellor J. Carlyle Sitterson Wednesday in the Chancellor's "battle" with Republican gubernatorial candidate James Gardner. Sitterson was criticized by Gardner Wednesday for saying in a press conference Tuesday that current marijuana laws are too stringent. "I agree completely," Day said, "with the statement made by the Chancellor when it is taken in its full context. "I regret very deeply that he Today Movement).

"It is my belief that any society will make and enforce laws for its well-being. However, to be most effective and just for that society the penalties for violation should reflect the severity of the offense." Day's statement was made in response to a statement by James Gardner to the effect that " was shocked to read that the Chancellor of this great University, Mr. Carlyle Sitterson, would make the remark that our marijuana laws in North Carolina are too stringent." Chancellor Sitterson clarified his statement W7ednesday by saying that he felt North Carolina law-makers had lumped marijuana with other, much more dangerous drugs and specified equally-severe penalties for all. He said that the failure to differentiate among various drugs had made it difficult to enforce the anti-marijuana provision. suspicious of the thoroughness of its work and the diversity of perspective in its membership. However, the work of this committee cannot be prolonged indefinitely and still serve the best interests of the University. I look to this committee for action and fully expect it." "The student body has already indicated it will be hard pressed to accept anything less." "I would invite those who have questions or suggestions or would simply like to know what is going on to join us Monday afternoon, time and place to be announced."
