Student Body President
Alan Albright urged his Ad
Hoc Committee on Visitation
Thursday to take "responsible
action" in implementing
changes in the Open House
visitation procedure.
The statement resulted from
the administration's suspension
of the visitation priviledges of
the International Student
Center (ISC) before spring
vacation.
Albright noted that the
present Open House agreement
specifically directs "Conviction
of violations may result in
suspension of the Open House
Agreement. . .andor such
penalities as student courts
provide."
According to Albright's
statement, Dean of Men James
O. Cathey had no right within
the framework of the
agreement to suspend the
privileges at the ISC.
Attorney General Bob
Mostellcr said the suspension
of ISC visitation privileges
should have come from the
Men's Residence Council.
Albright commented, "The
attorney General has actually
seemed connected more with
the Office of Dean of Men than
with that of the student body
president," Albright said.
Noting the present
agreement is only a temporary
experiment to expire at the
end of this academic year,
Albright said it was of
"utmost importance that
concerned students continue to
iron out difficulties" in the
present agreement.

Goldstein, Parker Debate Sunday
Over UNC's Affiliation With NSA
By STEVE PLAISANCE
DTH Staff Writer
The Committee for
Afro-American and African
Studies Curricula, in an open
meeting held at the student
union Thursday night, released
its report which outlined
recommendations for a
program of Afro-American and
African Studies at the
departmental level.
The committee's report
indicates that Bachelor of Arts
degrees in Afro-American
Studies and in African Studies
will be offered for the first
time in the Fall semester of
1969.
In order to implement these
two additional majors, the
report recommended that the
College of Arts and Sciences
form an additional 23 courses.
Sixteen of these new courses
already have been approved,
and the remaining seven are
still in the proposal stage, the
report states.
The two programs, said the
report, are designed to begin in
the student's junior year. Up to
this point, the student takes
fundamentally the same
General College courses as in
any other Bachelor of Arts
major.

By TOM GOODING
DTH Staff Writer
A debate on whether UNC
should remain affiliated with
the National Student
Association (NSA) will be held
between Buck Goldstein and
John Parker in Gerrard Hall
Sunday night at 7:30.
Concerning the debate,
Goldstein said, "I think it is a
really helpful thing that we are
going to discuss the issue. I'm
also glad the issue is one of
finances not one over Political
Parker
ideologies."
Discussing disaffiliation,
Parker said, "I am in favor of
NSA disaffiliation because the
cost of it is not really
commensurate with the
benefits.
"If you look at the budget,
you will see that the National
Student Association has some
$3,000 and that a lot of old,
established campus
organizations are being cut
off," he added.
Goldstein listed NSA's
political activities as a major
reason to remain affiliated.
"NSA is the only organization
that can lobby in the, interest
of students.
"Events in Washington, D.C.
have proved students need to
be represented. Bob Powell,
president of NSA, has recently
testified in Congress on campus
disorders, giving the vote to 18
year-olds, retaining the youth
fares and protecting the rights
of students, particularly in the
field of draft counseling,"
Goldstein said.
Discussing reasons for
disaffiliating with NSA, Parker
said, "If you ask a student,
'How do you feel about NSA
disaffiliation,' he will say 'What
is NSA.' I feel this is in itself
enough reason to keep from
spending money on it.
"I think the students if they
take time to think about it will
see that the money could be
spent better. Much of the NSA
funds, $2,500, goes to send
people to conventions.
"I don't think these
conventions do anything for
the student body. Just like
these model U.N.'s, they are
good for the people who go,
but they don't add to the
prestige of the University,"
Parker said.
Goldstein said, "Apparently
the thrust of the argument is
about finances. When we talk
about the cost of affiliating
with NSA, it is a matter of
$197. And Bob Powell has said
the dues for NSA membership
will probably be eliminated by
next year. I probably agree
that we should cut down on
the students sent to
conventions."
Parker said, "I think we can
get the benefits , that NSA
offers even if we aren't in NSA.
So if we can get the benefits
without membership, we
should disaffiliate."
The report noted that the
only exceptions are in the
choice of a foreign language
(restricted to Spanish, French,
Swahili, Portuguese and
Arabic) and that African or
Afro-American Studies 40
jnust be included in the choice
of electives.
Courses such as
Anthropology 26 (The Peoples
of Black Africa), English 84
(American Negro Literature),
History 165 - (History of the
Negro in America) and
Sociology 53 (Black-White
Relations) will be offered in
the new programs, the report
states.
The instructors who will
teach the African and
Afro-American courses will
come from two sources,
according to the report. New
faculty members in these areas
hopefully will be hired. If these
faculty members can not be
obtained, then a program of
faculty exchange will be
initiated with universities that
have these persons on ,their
staffs.
The report further
recommended that "constant
attention be payed toward
obtaining specialists as visiting
scholars, and lecturers, and
toward obtaining scholars in
Afro-American and African
history, sociology, government.
economics, literature, art, and
all other pertinent fields on a
permanent basis."
Professor G.B. Cleveland,
chairman of the committee and
professor of political science,
said, "The Afro-American and
African Studies programs will
remain a part of the College of
Arts and Sciences until such
time at which funds from
legislative actions will enable
the programs to attain
departmental status."
The report recommends
that a program of student and
faculty exchange with an
African university, also be
formed.
The members of the
committee which formulated
the report are: Professor
Cleveland; Professor Cora E.
Bagley, sociology; Professor
W.H. Bell, linguistics; Prof essor
C.T. Luddington, English;
Reginald Hawkins Jr., Class of
1970; Lawrence Whitfield,
Class of 1970; Miss Evelyn
Lewis, Class of 1972.
When questioned about who
will direct the programs,
Cleveland said, "We are
committed to staying behind
the Dean (Dawson) until he
finds a director who is
committed to the program, and
we are also committed to the
notion that this director should
be black."
' From the point of view of
the framework in which this
institution operates and has
operated, I think this
curriculum is as sound as any
in the catalogue," said
Cleveland.
Dean Raymond H. Dawson
requested that the committee
be formed in a letter dated
February 5, 1969.
When questioned about the
motivating force behind the
administration's decision to
investigate the possibilities of a
Black-Studies program,
Cleveland said: "The idea had
b?en discussed before, but the
BSM demands got things
moving."

BSM Asks Money
For Legal Fund
The Black Student
Movement (BSM) at UNC
urgently needs contributions
for its Legal Defense Fund,
according to Cynthia Ricks,
organizer of the fund drive.
The contributions are
sought to pay the attorney fees
and court fines of six BSM
members convicted on
disorderly conduct charges in
Chapel Hill civil court April 9.
The BSM members were
taking part in the Lenoir Hall
-boycott -when they were
arrested.
Legal Defense Fund tables
will be set up in Y-Court,
Lenoir Hall and in front of the
Undergraduate Library
Monday through Wednesday of
next week. Contributions will
be accepted between 8 a.rru
and 4 p.m.
The BSM members and one
other person participating in
the boycott were fined $150
each by the court. The Legal
Defense Fund Committee has
collected $500. Between $500
and $600 more is needed to
pay the costs, Muss Ricks said.
The six BSM members have
each-paid. $50 toward their
fines. The court requires
complete payment within 30
days of the sentencing date,
according to Miss Ricks.

There are a total of nine reasons for refusal. These are the
major ones.
The Chancellor's decision can be appealed to Superior Court

The bill also provides for criminal prosecution fot4.hespeaker

prosecution (a misdemeanor) if he fails to follow outlined

The constitutionality of Mohn's bill is considered
questionable. The 1963-65 Speaker Ban was ruled
unconstitutional because, among other reasons, "it is established
that a statute which either forbids or requires an act so vague that
men of common intelligence must necessarily guess at its meaning
and differ as to its application." (U.S. District Court, Federal
Supplement of Dickson v. Sitterson).
Constitutional questions have also been rasied by several
newspapers and officials across the state. A UNC administrator
(who asked not to be named) considered the bill so vague that it
would be difficult to follow.
According to this administrator, the bill faces a tough fight m

.Forcing A Retreat To The Dorm Steps.
Wadsworth said.
"There zie many things to
consider," he emphasized.
"The possibility is still in the
planning stages."
He said converting one of
the dorms into an apartment
building would involve
renovating each of the present
four-bedroom suites into
complete living quarters,
totalling 85 to 92 apartments.
"We would probably
completely furnish each
apartment, including kitchen
facilities and air conditioning,"
said Wadsworth.
He estimated the cost of
renovating each suite at $1800.
He said other problems to be
resolved are garbage disposal,
maintenance and regulations
concerning children and pets.
Wadsworth stressed that
children had not definitely
been ruled out in the proposed
apartments couples
with children may be referred
to Victory and Odum Villages.
He said both Victory and
Odum Villages would continue
to operate, although Victory
Village will probably have to
undergo extensive renovation.
Wadsworth said the
administration would further
study rent costs and other
problems before deciding to
convert one of the dorms.
"We might ultimately
decide to include single men
and women in the proposed
apartment house," he said.
Wadsworth said a decision
will probably be reached by
next December, and
renovation, if approved, will
begin in 1970.
Earlier this year the Housing
Office announced other
prospective changes for
university hosuing.
Hinton James, presently a
ten floor, all male dormitory,
will be converted next year
into "Project Hinton, an
experiment in coed living."
