On ROTC Policy
In M
ee
The F'aculty Council will
hold a special meeting Friday
at 4 p.m. in 111 Murphey to
continue consideration of the
ROTC Report, part of which
was approved by the council at
a regular meeting March 6.
At that time, the council
voted to establish a Curriculum
in Peace, War and Defense
within the College of Arts and
Sciences. It also approved
proposals concerning the
administration of the new
department.
Proposals to be considered
Friday include stipulations for
ROTC candidates, instructors
and curriculum. It also includes
a recommendation that unless
the new curriculum is
established by June 1, 1971,
the relationship between the
University and ROTC programs
should "be opened for
re-examination."
The , ROTC Report was
released January 14 by the
Committee on Accreditation of
ROTC Courses and Programs
(Taylor Committee). Besides
recommending that ROTC
courses continue to receive
accreditation by the
University, the committee
proposed the new curriculum.
After release by the Taylor
Committee, the report was
considered by the
administrative boards of the
General College and the
College of Arts and Sciences,

This is the seventh in a
series of interviews with
candidates for the office of
president of the student body.
TODAY'S QUESTION:
What should be the Visitation
(Open-House) Policy?
TOMMY BELLO: I am
strongly in favor of a
self-determined visitation
policy.
.1 am not stressing 24
hour-a-day, seven day-a-week
visitation as a univeral rule, but
it should be up to each
individual floor or dorm to
decide its own particular
visitation policy.
To implement a
self-determined policy requires
ting Friday
which then passed their
recommendations on to the
Faculty Council.
Friday's consideration of
the report led to heated debate
in the council. Proponents ol
the recommendations, among
them George Taylor, chairman
of the Taylor Committee, said
"It is extremely important that
these young men (in the ROTC
program) have the advantages
of a liberal education."
Maynard Adams, also of the
committee, spoke of the
University's responsibility "to
train professional officers to
serve society. If we do not
train them, they will receive
that training elsewhere."
Opponents of the
recommendations cited
discrepancies between the goals
of the military and the
University.
The recommendations
passed Friday include:
That the University
establish a new interdisciplin
ary curriculum on Peace, War
and Defense.
That this department be
administered by a Curriculum
Committee appointed by and
responsible to the Dean of the
Colleges of Arts and Sciences.
Members of this committee
will include a director,
representatives from both the
D e p a r tments of Aerospace
Studies and Naval Science as
well as representatives from at
least five other departments, a
student from either AFROTC
and NROTC, and a student
from another department.
That the Director and
Curriculum Committee of the
new department be responsible
for developing the
department's curriculum;
re-examining and strengthening
courses presently being offered
and adding or substituting new
courses; and establishing
publications, symposia,
lectures and other programs to
ensure the progress of the new
department.
Leary Defends

What is a sacrament?
To Timothy Leary, former
Harvard psychology professor,
it is a "thing which produces
changes in the nervous system,
a key which makes possible
dropping out of society."
LSD, to Leary, is such a
sacrament.
Leary, to MIT psychology
professor and dissenter Jerome
Lettvin, is an "agent of . the
devil."
The film debate "LSD,
Lettvin vs. Leary," was shown

more student involvement than
is now present. I want to work
to stimulate concern among
students in favor of this policy.
If the administration is
going to force us to live in
University housing, then they
should be willing to make that
housin? liveable.
A self-determined visitation
policy could be the first step
along the road of much-needed
improvements in the quality of
University living.
TIM DAUGHTRY:
Visitation policy should be
locally determined, since many
girls have stated they would
prefer not to have
24-hour-a-day visitation.
Furthermore, visitation and
women's rules are two issues in
which student government can

Union Drug Symposium. The
film presented two arguments
and left the viewer to decide
for himself.
Leary's argument was a
systematic debunking of the
dangers of the drug,
accompanied by his
exhortation to "Turn on, Drop
out."
The former Harvard
professor did not deny the
dangers of the drug, but called
it "neutral." He said that since
water is also tasteless, colorless,
odorless, addictive and
productive of withdrawal
symptoms, perhaps its use
should be prohibited. He made
a similar comparison with fire,

concentrates on these issues
and other like issues, student
government can become an
effective means of representing
the desires and rights of
students.
GARY FAGG: We're all
working for 24-hour visitation
and letting each dorm set its
own policy.
I think we will have a very
good chance of having
seven-day-a-week visitation
next year.
24-hour visitation will
require quite a bit of pressure.
We should go to the
administration with as much
evidence of student support as
possible.

the point being that
prohibitions on these would
seem to him about as silly as

Seated in a yoga position,
Leary said, "I know of little
evidence on the drug's effects
on the nervous system and
genetic material. I suggest you
be very skeptical of such
information."
He continued, "LSD is
always a gamble. What isn't?

G UIL WADDELL:
Unquestionably, each house
should be allowed to establish
its own visitation policy, and if
the residents of any unit
desires 24-hour, seven
day-a-week visitation, they
should have that option.
The decision concerning
whom students desire to have
in their homes and how often
they wish to invite these
visitors is a question to be
decided by students and not by
the administration.
I pledge my full support to
the obtainment of this basic
student right.

"Plans are underway for ful!

nationwide April 22
Environmental Teach-In, and
UNC will join thousands of
campuses and communities
across the nation in observing
Earth Day," according to a
statement Wednesday from
Teach-in Committee
spokesman Jeff Richey.
The concept of "Earth
Day", Richey said, arose from
the gorwing concern over the
deterioration of America's
natural environment, caused by
"unprecedented population
and technological growth."
The "Earth Day" program
will consist of several phases:
"Popularization; environemtal
alternatives for the future; and
symposia on the nation's social
and political environment and
ecology.
Teach-in spokesman John
Agar said the popularization
program will include mixed
media and slide shows, a
contest "in collection of litter"
and a survey of pollution in
North Carolina. A wall size
map will show areas of greatest
pollution and facilities in the
state. The film "Beyond
Conception" will also be
shown at this time.

The registering procedure
for the primary and general

registration will begin earlier
and end 21 days before each

Registration for the primary

Curtis Howard Sitterson, a
freshman at UNC entered a
plea of "no contest" to a
charge of illegal possession and
sale of LSD in Durham
Superior Court Tuesday.
The son of Chancellor J.
Carlyle Sitterson, entered a
similar plea Feb. 27 in
Hillsboro District Court before
Judge Maurice Braswell.
Braswell sentenced the student
to 60 days in Polk Youthful
Offenders Camp in Raleigh.
This is a "pre-sentencing
diagnostic study," according to
Braswell. Sitterson will come
to Orange County Superior
Court to face the four counts
of drug possession and sale
lodged against him. The trail
has been set for April 27.
Sitterson was arrested Feb.

Black and youth rebellions
in the past decade will be
discussed by an authority on
violence and riots at a Law and
Society Seminar Friday at
UNC's Law School.
The speaker will be Dr.
Ralph W. Conant, new
president of the Southwest
Center for Urban Research, a
joint enterprise of Rice
University and the University
of Houston. He was formerly
associate director of the
Lemberg Center for the Study
of Violence at Brandeis
University of New York.
Dr. Conant's topic, "A
Comparative View of Black
and Youth Rebellion in the
1960's," will cover the
manifestations of the student
unrest movement, inclusion of
blacks in society and rebellion
in the youth population.
Li one of his published
! works, Dr.-Conant has stated
that most activist youth are
! not revolutionaries but insist
j that "abhorrent values be
j changed and corrected in their
society." Youth rebellion in
the 60's was a "rejection of the
I practised values of the adult
i society and thus a reluctance
j to accept an active, responsible
' role in that society," according
to Dr. Conant.
