She has made trips to similar companies formed at Ohio State University and the By Mike Parnell Staff Writer A warm, balmy Spring afternoon came to Chapel Hill Saturday featuring clear, blue skies, blossoming dogwoods, green grass and plenty of pickin' and fiddlin', in the fine tradition of Union Grove. More than 500 people sprawled on Ehringhaus Field listening to the sounds of country music at its finest. The Southern Folk Festival was the name of the event, but nobody really cared. Balloons, beer, and boards were as much the highlight of the afternoon as the music. And Chapel Hill did its part in presenting the kind of afternoon that makes a person want to do anything but hit the books. Footballs, frisbees and dogs were plentiful as students forgot they were in college and enjoyed reliving the time of life known as childhood. The music served as a perfect backdrop to a beautiful day. Babe Stoval, a New Orleans blues artist raised in the Mississippi Delta, treated the crowd to an incomparable performance of blues and gospel.

Advisory Board Meets Monday- Visitation recommendations of the Committee on University Residential Life (CURL) will be considered Monday afternoon by members of the Administrative Board of Student Affairs. The purpose of the committee, composed of seven faculty members and Student Body President Tom Bello, is. to consider the CURL proposals and make any modification felt necessary. W7"TL ' W JOLO By Lou Bonds Staff Writer The University Space and ' Ranning Committee will meet Monday at 4 p.rn. to decide which of three organizations will occupy the now vacant Faculty Club. Bids have been submitted by Morehead Residence 1 College, Ad Hoc Committee on Child-Care of Female Liberation and Air Force -ROTC. The Space Committee will meet under the chairmanship of Dr. Clairbome Jones along : with the 10 committee members according to Steve Saunders, governor of Morehead Residence College. Only one committee member is a student. The Faculty Club building is located between the lower quad and Cobb dorm and is no longer "used regularly" by the faculty. The Circus Room snack bar is the only part of the building in use since the Monogram Club cafeteria has been closed. Saunders said Morehead Residence College has been trying to add the Faculty Club to its organization since 1963 when leasing of the building began. "The facilities of the Faculty Club are perfect for the kinds of activities we need to provide a total community," Saunders said. "It is the only way that we can fight the alienation that goes with a University of this size." Morehead earlier this week received the support of Student Body President Tom Bello who cited the need of the administration to generate enthusiasm within a group of this nature as his basis for supporting the Morehead request. The visitation regulations will then be turned over to Chancellor J. Carlyle Sitterson for further considerations. "I hope the committee will make recommendations that reflect student sentiment," Bello said Saturday. He said the chancellor will meet with students and officials of the Consolidated William C. Friday, before the proposals are presented to the Board of Trustees who will and autoharp and gave the audience some lively, harmonic bluegrass, the kind your old grandaddy used to play. A big hit of the crowd was the Rev. Pearly Brown, a blind street singer from Georgia, who sang black spirituals, about the only good thing to come out of slavery. Next John D. Loudermilk, well-known for his songs "Tobacco Road," "Waterloo" and "Abilene," sang about his experiences in the South in the grassroots style which, no matter whether you were born north or south of the Mason-Dixon line, you can't help but enjoy. A real favorite of the crowd was "Sparky" Rucker, a Tennessee-born blues singer who sang some old traditionals of the black South as well as some songs of his own. t The festival concluded its afternoon activities with a North Carolina girl, Anne Romaine, who sang about the cotton mill and coal mining South which is rapidly becoming just a footnote in a history book. Finally, the sun began to sink, the people packed their blankets and beer and started leaving, and the sound of fingers strummin a banjo ceased. But for one afternoon, Chapel Hill was back in the South again. Gfo W70"0 Morehead has also gained backing from other student leaders, several Trustee members and a resolution passed by the Student Legislature, according to Saunders. "The large room in the club would be converted to a social lounge which the residence college desperately needs," he said. "Presently Morehead is sharing Graham's lounge with their members." "A library, social lounge and much-needed office space would be other additions." Morehead originally filed its request with the Committee on University Residential Life (CURL) who has also lent support to Morehead. "Morehead has no sense of unity at present," Saunders emphasized. "We feel that we are residents of separate dorms rather than belonging to a residence college system." The Order of the Golden Fleece tapped 28 new members Friday night at its 68th annual meeting. The s Golden Fleece membership is traditionally considered to be the highest honor a student . can receive. Founded in 1903, the order selects its membership from people who have given "outstanding service to the University." The new members tapped in the ceremony were: James Lawrence Whitfield, Raleigh; have the final work on policy content. Includes on the committee reviewing CURL's proposals are Dr. James R. Gaskins, Dr. Lillian Y. Lehman, Dr. Peter G. Phial as, Dean J. Dickerson Phillips, Dr. G.E. Shepard, Dr. Rollie Tillman and Bello. The new visitation policy, if annroved bv the Board of Trustees, will go into effect next fall at all six branches of the Consolidated University. Tappe Bay mi LP 0 O jl 7T7I Hi Morehead has circulated a petition within its residence college structure that was signed by all but one member who was not in town according to Saunders. Female liberation presented its request for the building Friday and recommended its use as a low-cost child care center. In a letter to Jones, members of the Ad Hoc Committee on Child-Care suggested that the building serve the children of all university connected people, particularly those of non-academic employees. "Since the rearing of children is of primary long-term benefit to society and since parents are handicapped in their life-work by this responsibility, adequate child-care is of primary importance to the parents, children and the institutions New Members d My Fleece OS Robert Brooke Jones, Chapel Hill; James Creekmore Wann Jr., Lookout Mt., Tenn.; Harold William Peterson, Hintington, N.Y.; Edward Steven Joseph Chalupka, Hamilton, Ontario; James Reubin Gaskin, Chapel Hill; Carnie Clayton Gooding, Havelock; Malcolm Murray Groome, Aneandale, Va.; Bruce Tracy Cunningham, Charlotte; Jack Linden McLean Jr., Fayetteville; Robert Allen Manekin, Baltimore, Md.; John Vincent Townsend, Jamestown; Robert Bernard McKeagney, Chapel Hill; Peter M.

"Present child-care facilities in Chapel Hill and Durham are not sufficient to supply the needs of large numbers of people who are now on the waiting lists; in addition they are too costly for most University connected families." "In the light of other proposals for the Faculty Club, as well as the urgency of child-care, we feel hat our proposal constitutes the best possible use of the building," the letter was summarized. Additional competition for the building comes from the Air Force ROTC which submitted a petition to the Space Committee, Saunders said. Wicker, an associate editor of the New York Times and manager of the Washington bureau of the Times, described the nation as "cynical" in the keynote address. "It is hard to make the case that human progress is being achieved when hundreds of Americans and uncounted Vietnamese are dying weekly in Vietnam . . . when blacks are still far in the rear of the parade in the land of the free, when our cities are both strangling and blowing up, when our campuses are still trapped by traditionalism and intolerance, when the air is foul and the water and poisonous." Questioning the safety of the Constitutional guarantees to Americans, he said "our national government is leading not an advance, but a retreat." Wicker praised today's youth as exemplifying "pioneer" characteristics. "Young men and women today stand nearer 1776 than they do the year two thousand. And in their restlessness and willingness to cut loose from the past and strike into the wilderness, I don't think those young people are so far from the essential pioneer spirit.
