(First of two parts)
Candidates for Chapel Hill
Board of Aldermen replied to a
DTH survey Friday, giving
varying opinions on issues
affecting the University
community.
The seven candidates, trying
for four open seats on the
six-member Board, answered
questions ranging from a local
option sales tax to sending
police to the campus without
the request of the University
Administration (in case of
disorder).
Ross Scroggs, Joseph Nassif,
George Coxhead, J. Nelson
Callahan, Steve Bernholz and
Incumbents Mary Prothro and
Robert Varley are candidates
for the Board.
The three candidates
included in this first article are
incumbents Mary Prothro and
Robert Varley, along with
Joseph Nassif.
The two incumbents
disagreed on the use of Town
police. Varley would favor
sending in the police even
without a University request
while Prothro would await the
request. Nassif would leave it
to the University to a point.
NC Vets
May Now
Revoke $
RALEIGH (UPI)-The
Senate passed without debate
Friday a bill which would
allow the Board of Veterans
Affairs to revoke its
scholarships held by students
who participate in campus
demonstrations.
The new policy is included
in the bill introduced by Sen.
Edward F. Griffin, D-Franklin,
which extends benefits now
given to veterans of the two
world wars and the Korean War
to veterans 'of the war in
Vietnam.
Griffin said the only
benefits given to the veterans
are the state scholarships
provided- for dependents of
veterans killed in combat or as
a result of injuries received
during combat. Approximately
800 students now hold the
scholarships which provide
tuition, fees, room and board
at state-supported schools.
The bill would make
dependents of those killed in
Vietnam eligible for the
scholarships but Griffin called
the measure "visionary" He
explained during recent
committee meetings on the bill
that , most men who have been
killed in Vietnam were single
and thus had no dependents.
The most immediate effect
of Griffin's measure is the
addition of a Jpto.visiQiw Maertens,.-commander.,ol,the
"It's the responsibility of
the police no matter who calls
for the help," Varley said.
"They have their duty to move
quickly."
Prothro sees the police duty
differently "The town police
work as an auxiliary for the
campus," she said. "The
Administration will know
when we are needed."
Nassif replied to the
question by first pointing out
that no official need commit
the police to anything.
"I do believe there has been
a long-standing tradition
between the town and
University," Nassif said.
"Without the threat of great
harm I'd leave it to the security
force on campus, and let the
town police move in when the
University says it can't take
care of it."
The local option sales tax
met with agreement in
different degrees. All accepted
it but with reservations.
"I'd prefer the income come
from other sources," Prothro
said. "But if necessary I
wouldn't oppose it."
Nassif believes the tax hurts
those least able to afford it,
but if no other sources of
income could be found would
not oppose it.
Varley said that he would and the town to work on this
support the tax, but only after problem together.
surrounding communities have
it.
Both Prothro and Nassif
believe it is the city's
responsibility to correct the
open storm drain along
Mitchell Lane. Varley called
the situation bad, but as for
public funds, he replied "don't
know that I would use them."
Prothro and Nassif again
agreed on the need, for a
stepped-up housing program.
Varley said that an acceptable
program is already underway.
Nassif argued that a town
the size of Chapel Hill in
Eastern North Carolina would
have four to six times the
amount of public housing.
Prothro added that many
buildings need to be
condemned but can't because
they are occupied.
All three candidates found
agreement on the need for a
public transportation system,
IT .
varley suggested that in
order to assure whoever runs it
a fair return, the Town might
subsidize it.
Nassif said that a feasibility
study showed the town and
University should work
together. "If there can be no
agreement with the
University," Nassif - said, "an
agreement with Carrboro
would help to support the
system."

Soldiers Charged Begins
For Demonstrating
FT. JACKSON, S.C.
(UPI) The Army concluded
four days of pretrial hearings
Friday into charges against
eight Ft. Jackson recruits
accused of leading an
unauthorized peace
demonstration on the base.
Attorney David Rein, the
chief defense counsel, said he
put the men's commanding
officers on the witness stand
and made them "squirm"
under final cross examination
about the March 20 incident.
Rein said Col. Thomas
allbwing the Board of Veteran
Affairs to revoke the
scholarship if the holder
"willfully" participates in a
campus demonstration. It
would be left up to the board
to; determine when a student
had participated in such
activity.
The measure was sent to the
House for final approval
4th Brigade, and Capt. Francis
Wishart, commanding officer
of B. Co., 14th Bn. 4th
Brigade, evaded his questions.
The Army had an official
"no comment" on the
closed-door proceedings but
defense attorneys freely
discussed the proceedings. Rein
said much of the testimony
involved Pvt. John Huffman,
Nixon Asks Support
To Up Postage Rates
WASHINGTON (UPI) -President
Nixon asked
Congress Thursday to raise the
price of a first-class postage
stamp to 7 cents and promised
major reforms to end postaal
deficits that have doubled the
cost mailing a letter in the past
decade.
Postal rates for all classes of
mail, except air mail cards and
letter, would increase under
Nixon's plan to cut the Post
Office Department's record
expected deficit of $1.2 billion
by more than half.
Effective July 1, first-class
letters would require a 7-cent
stamp and the rate for cards
would go up a penny to 6
cents. Second and third-class
air rates also would rise, but
the air mail rate of 10 cents for
letters and 8 cents for cards
would remain the same.
an informer who joined "GI's
United" and reported its
activities to Wishart.
He said both officers
"obviously knew everything
that was going on, but they
didn't tell the men what they
were doing was improper.-
"They squirmed and said
they didn't remember telling
them their meetings were
illegal," Rein said after the
hearing.
Huffman testified he
attended a meeting of "GI's
United" out of curiosity and
was "sickened" by the
attitudes of the anti-war group.
He said he reported his feelings
to Wishart, who he said told
him to continue attending the
meetings and reporting the
group's plans.
Rein said Huffman gave the
captain a report "almost every .
single day."
The defendants, who have
become known as "the Ft.
Jackson eight" among local
anti-war protestors, were
charged with insubordination,
disrespect of an officer and
disobedience of an order to
disperse. The pretrial hearing
was ordered to recommend
which form of courts martial,
if any, the men will face.
RALEIGH, N.C.
(UPI) Negro leaders,
frustrated over the city's
refusal to provide land for a
tent city, began "jail-in's" here
Friday and vowed to take the
land they wanted.
About 14 young negroes
were arrested for playing
basketball on the city's main
street blocking rush hour
traffic. Other negroes harassed
pedestrians on the sidewalks
calling them "pigs" and
"honkies."
Golden Frinks, state
director for the Southern
Christian Leadership
Conference, SCLC, said there
would be more demonstrations
until either the city or the
state provided land for the
"hope and opportunity city."
However, Frinks disavowed
any connection between his
organization and those who
harassed the pedestrians.
"We're not going to tolerate
any kind of violent words or
action," Frinks said. He said
the demonstrations would
show SCLC officials "who can
stand the test of non-violence."
But Frinks and other local
SCLC officials appeared
frustrated over the city's
refusal to provide land for the
tent city. He said the treasury
is running low and there is not
much more money left to feed
and house the Negroes from
other parts of the state. Most,
however, are staying in private
homes in Raleigh.
The mishap forced the
closing of the main runway at
the Raleigh-Durham Airport
for more than one hour.
Airport Manager Henry
Boyd said the plane was
operated by the Celanese Corp.
and contained five company
executives and two crewmen.
It was arriving from Charlotte,
where Celanese maintains a
large plant. ,
Boyd said the plane was
making a normal landing when
the landing gear collapsed
"with no warning at all." The
plane tipped over on its nose
and skidded along the runway,
throwing up a shower of
sparks. Fire broke out around
the nosewheel and the cockpit.
Airport crews and National
Guardsmen used chemicals to
put out the flames.
The pilot of the craft was
Guy Phillips and the co-pilot
Bob Landacre, both of
Charlotte.
Boyd said - everyone was
"very cool" about the accident
and "if they survived the
traffic into town they were on
time for their appointment."

THE NEW SCHOOL COLLEGE
is the senior college of the New School for Social Research, an urban university
located in Greenwich Village with all of New York City for its campus. There
are three main New School units. One is the Graduate Faculty, a leading center
in the Social Sciences that offers training to 2,400 masters and doctoral students
under scholars like Economist Robert Heilbroner, Political Scientist Saul K.
Padover, and Philosopher Hannah Arendt. A second is the New School evening
division, which provides a vast range of courses, workshops, and lectures for
some 12,000 New Yorkers annually, and serves as a major cultural center for the community-at-large
with programs of concerts, films, modern dance and art exhibitions. The newest unit is the
NEW SCHOOL COLLEGE
an undergraduate program, limited to 500 students. The College offers a two-year program for
students who have already completed their sophomore year elsewhere, and who are interested in
earning their B.A. with emphasis in humanities or social science, in a program which considers
undergraduate education important in itself.
Instead of lectures, every class in the College is designed as a seminar, with about twenty students
sitting around a table to learn through participatory discussion. Instead of textbooks, the student
confronts the actual works produced by great minds of the past and the present-Aristotle and
Sartre, Freud and Erikson, Sophocles and Pinter. Marx and Marcuse, Shakespeare and Picasso,
Joyce and Antonioni. Instead of requiring its teachers to engage in specialized research and publi
cation, the College has a faculty whose primary commitment is to teaching, and it frees them from
extrinsic demands so that they can concentrate their talents on the instructional program. Instead
of taking a collection of unrelated courses, students take a Divisional Program a set of courses
designed by the faculty to fit together into a total educational experience. And instead of a "major,"
each student pursues his own Individual Study Program, in which he investigates, in considerable
depth and over a two-year period, a problem of his own choosing under the guidance of a tutor.
The student takes three year-long courses during his first year and two year-long courses during
his second. This constitutes his Divisional Program. The rest of his time is spent in Individual Stud
ies, which he initiates during his first year and pursues for half of his time during his second year.

THE DIVISIONAL PROGRAM: Unlike most
colleges, we are not divided into specialized
departments like English, History, or Psychol
ogy. We have only two Divisions the Humani
ties and the Social Sciences. The entering
student normally elects to study in either the
humanities or the social sciences, but may
choose to work in both.
The significance of this unorthodox Divi
sional structure is twofold. It means that the
student takes courses at an advanced level that
are genuinely interdisciplinary rather than nar
rowly specialized. And it means that the student
is free, in the Individual Study portion of his
program, to investigate a problem that defies
the boundaries of conventional departments,
perhaps cutting across philosophy and drama,
or psychology and economics.
THE HUMANITIES: The humanities com
prise all the creations of man in music, paint
ing, and literature, in history, science, and
philosophy. Yet at most colleges, a student who
wishes to study these creations at an advanced
level must limit himself arbitrarily to the study
of a single kind, and even to a single country
or period. There is no "department" at most
colleges that will allow him to major in both
Thomas Mann and Dostoyevsky, both Pinter
and Proust. And even when he limits his study
to one of these figures, the intellectual tools
that he requires "for exploring the ideas of that
writer in depth can only be acquired by taking
courses in still other departments philosophy
or theology or psychology. Similarly, a student
who majors in the conventional philosophy de
partment cannot develop, within his specialized
courses, the aesthetic sensitivity that he needs
to penetrate fully the philosophy of thinkers
such as Plato and Nietzsche and Heidegger,
whose philosophic visions are expressed by
means of image, myth, and dramatic action no
less than by rational discourse. It is for these
reasons that our study of the humanities is in
terdisciplinary rather than fragmented into de
partmental "majors."
We have designed a set of courses that fit
together into a comprehensive investigation of
the creations of man. It is possible for us in
a single course to juxtapose a treatise by Kant,
a novel by Barth, and a movie by Godard in
order to deal fully with the problem under in
vestigation. The emphasis is less on assembling
information about particular works than on
discovering the methods of understanding and
appreciation that can be applied to any work.
The goal is to provide tools of analysis that
will extend the student's insight into the hu
manities when he pursues his own Individual
Study.
THE SOCIAL SCIENCES: The most worth
while research in the social sciences tends to
involve two or more specialties simultaneously.
Schumpeter was an economist, but Capitalism,
Socialism and Democracy is as well philo
sophic, political and historical. Myrdal is an
economist, but The American Negro draws on
many fields. Arendt is a philosopher, but To
talitarianism is historical, sociological and psy
chological. And current efforts to understand
such diverse phenomena as the underdeveloped
nations, fascism, poverty, and hippies look to
all of the social science disciplines. We have
therefore constructed an upper-level program
in social science that is totally interdisciplinary.
The emphasis is on formulating new prob
lems rather than learning the answers to old
problems, on mastering the methods by which
truth can be discovered rather thanmemo
rizing the truths already known, and on under
standing the seminal concepts that have proved
to be especially suggestive in illuminating so
cial reality. The problems studied in this pro
gram, as well as the readings, exhaust no
universe, establish no canon, define no ortho
doxy They provide a strong foundation on
which the student can build his Individual
Studyprogram.
THE INDIVIDUAL STUDY PPOGRAM:
One-quarter of the junior year and one-half
of the senior year are reserved for individual
ized study. The student pursues his own spe
cial interests under the guidance of a faculty
tutor and by means of the analytical tools he
is developing in the Divisional Program; his
work generally culminates in a written paper.
Some students form ther own seminars or en
list members of the faculty to offer special
courses; others take courses from the vast
programs, graduate, undergraduate, and adult,
available at the New School for Social Re
searchcourses taught by such visiting special
ists as Paul Douglas, Rollo May, Bayard Rustin,
Leslie Fiedler, Lee Strasberg, Allen Ginsberg:
and others choose to work independently of
any course structure, under the direct super
vision of their tutors. The possibilities for In
dividual Study are initiated by the student
himself and limited only by his imagination
and intelligence.
THE INTER-DIVISIONAL CORE: At the
center of the Divisional Program are the
courses in which students and faculty from
both of the Divisions come together for inten
sive collaboration on common concerns. Per
haps no other aspect of the College embodies
as radical a departure from the dominant
trends in American education as this one, which
we call the Inter-Divisional Core. Its purpose
is to discover new intellectual arts for dealing
with the problems men confront when they
try to know and act. We conceive these in
tellectual arts as modern adaptations of the
old "liberal arts," whose original function was
to "liberate" men from old ways of seeing
and doing.
The readings in these courses are drawn from
all the areas of knowledge humanities, social
sciences, natural sciences, and philosophy.They
are selected to shed new light on vome of the
fundamental issues underlying all knowledge
and activity, issues like the relation between
fact and value, theory and practice, subjec
tivity and objectivity, thought and action. In a
rigorous and serious manner, the courses in
vestigate questions like these: Are there "arts"
of discovery intellectual strategies for hitting
upon new solutions to problems? Are there
any "hard facts" in the world-facts that can't
be altered by the perspective from which they
are viewed? Is there a method tor making one
self into an innovator rather than a passive
transmitter of outside forces?
THIS PROGRAM is now three years old. It has
.drawn students from over 300 colleges and
universities throughout the U.S. Although it
emphasizes the value of education for its own
sake, substantial numbers of its graduates have
been admitted to top-ranking graduate schools.
Tuition and fees are $1700. Most of the stu
dents live in private quarters near the School.
We do not provide housing. We have no gym
nasium. Only teachers, students, classrooms
and books.
