Of The Turf . . .
In Polk Place Renovation
Grassy, it was, and green
they say . . . Polk Place.
John Temple, assistant to
the Vice Chancellor of
Finance, hopes it will be that
way again soon.
In a news conference
Wednesday afternoon, Temple
formally proposed a plan for
renovating Polk Place to
Student Body President Tom
Bello, members of the press
and interested students.
Renovation plans began last
February, when the N. C. State
Landscape and Architectural
Department agreed to study
the area and make
recommendations for
renovation as a spring project.
Months of painstaking
research followed, and the
result was a beautification plan
which may incorporate dual
sidewalks, at least two
"mini-Pits," land fills and
retaining walls.
The $80,000 proposal calls
for additional six-foot brick
walks to run parallel to the

existing 12-foot paths. The
double lane will prevent
congestion in front of
classroom buildings and ease
the flow of traffic in general.
At the same time, new
walks transversing the area will
reduce short cuts across the
turf and save the greenery.
Corners will widen into beds
of crushed granite to give the
hurried student extra elbow
room.
A retaining wall at the base
of the hill in front of Wilson
Library will permit leveling of
a rather steep grade at that
point. Another wall will hide
the Dempsy Dumpster at the
rear of the "Y" and block the
parking lot from view.
Finally, two mini-Pits, one
in the Saunders-Murphey
square, the other across the
way between Gardner and
Hanes, will provide a shady rest
and conversation center for
students.
Reflecting on the proposal,
Temple said, "I feel this is the
most important area on
campus and we want to bring it
up to the standard of being the
most important area on
campus."
After examining the
proposal, Bello added, "I think
Polk Place needs to be
renovated. Some minor
changes could be made, but I
am not at all opposed to the
plan presented by Mr.
Temple."

To The Cubans
By Peggy Redd
Staff Writer
The Venceremos Brigade, a
group of 500 American youth
including four from the Chapel
Hill area, will be leaving August
1 to work in the citrus fields
on the Cuban "Isle of Youth."
Clint Pyne, former UNC
student and members of the
Brigade, said the group was
having difficulty raising money
to pay for transportation.
About $400 has been made
from picnics, sandwich sales,
parties, rummage sales and
donations. Pyne said the group
was trying to get enough
money to enable more "third
world" people to go.
While in Cuba, the group
will be joining other youth
brigades from Vietnam, Latin
America, Korea, and Africa.
They will be working in the
fields, living in work camps,
seeing films on the Cuban
revolution, and touring the rest
of Cuba. "It will be six weeks
of political education," said
one brigade member.
According to the regional
organizer, who preferred to
remain anonymous, one of the

They will fill the positions
until the Publications Board

positions and make final
recommendations to Student
Legislature.

main purposes of the visit is to
"show solidarity with the
Cuban Revolution" which
celebrated its 11th anniversary
July 26.
The Venceremos Brigade is
the third such group to go to
Cuba. The first brigade left in
the fall and the second in
January. These, youth brigades
were the first to break the
blockade set up by the
Kennedy administration in
1961.
The members of the first
two brigades are now giving
talks and showing films of their
experiences in Cuba. "They
feel that there is much to be
learned from the Cuban
Revolution, which was the first
successful revolution in the
West," the regional organizer
said.
One spokesman for the
group said, "the long term
objective in going to Cuba is
the establishment of a system
of socialism in America." He
added the more immediate
objective is to "see what can be
done to eliminate racism,
sexism, and the evils of
capitalism in the U.S."

Decisions on both topics
were delayed until members
could study the proposals and
a delegation can meet with the

Weekly to discuss contract
arrangements.
