UNC students Bill Blue, Mark Evens,
Marjorie Spruill and Suzanne Welborn
will make a formal presentation of the
argument for self-determined visitation to
the Consultative Committee at the 2 p.m.

These four, along with other students

Tommy Bello, will be available for
Louis Harris:
Always
Political Action
Louis Harris was almost the editor of
The Daily Tar Heel when he was in school
here.
Now he and his polling firm are
retained by Time Magazine to sample
public opinion on everything from what
th; average American . house wjfe .feels.
atout detergent hands to who will be the
winners in this fall's Congressional races.
An economics major on campus,
Harris was a major contributor to The
Daily Tar Heel, filling both editorial and
reportorial positions for three years
before taking on Orville Campbell,
publisher of the Chapel Hill Weekly, in
the editor's race.
He lost that election by three votes
and spent his senior year as editor of the
Carolina Magazine.
He will speak tonight at 8 p jn. in Hill
Hall as the second of a series of seven
speakers on "Students and Politics-The
Elections of 1970."
Harris, after ten years with Elmo
Roper and Associates (the polling group
that predicted Dewey's defeat of Truman
in 1948), started his own polling
organization in 1956 and conducted polls
for individuals until after 1960.
During the 1960 elections his polls
were used by the John Kennedy
campaign and by 35 senators and 17
governors.
Harris has been politically active since
he was a student. It was he and Duke
University president Terry Sanford who
started the Student Legislature at UNC.
His column on political activity and
opinion now appears weekly in 130
newspapers.
His political expertise was widely
recognized after the publication of
Theodore White's "The Making of The
President 1960" in which he used much
information given the Kennedy campaign
staff by Harris.
Since that time he has become a
regular contributor to both Time and Life
Magazines and has moved into the top
spot among U. S. pollsters along with
George Gallop.

Gen. Lyman L. Lemnitzer, former
supreme commander of Allied forces in
Europe, opened the "Conference on the
Relations Among the North Atlantic
Nations" here Tuesday with a stout
defense of the value of NATO and a
strong defensive stance against "the
advance of international Communism."
The conference, which is sponsored by
UNC, Duke University and N.C. State
University, is being held through
Thursday at the Carolina Inn. More than
500 leaders from the Southeast in
business, education, government, and
finance have gathered here as a part of

...speaking here tonight
Harris has remained closely aligned
with UNC since graduation. In 1965 he
returned to the campus as a lecturer in
the political science department, and in
1968 he established the Louis Harris
Political Data Center in Caldwell Hall.
The' center serves as the official
repository for the Harris Studies.
Lecture
Les Levine, a sculptor who creates
"disposable art," will lecture tonight at
8:30 in 115 Ackland.
Levine's topic will be "Abdicate or

The conference opened with a
luncheon session presided over by
Consolidated University President William
C. Friday. Gov. Bob Scott gave the
formal introduction of the conference to
the delegates and welcomed them to the
state.
Lemnitzer, who retired this past year
after 51 years in service, emphasized the
importance of cooperation among the
nations of the North Atlantic area to
prevent the spread of Communism.
He credited the protection provided
by NATO with helping Europe achieve
"more stability than that continent has
known in a century" and with the feat of
preventing "one square inch of land from
falling to Communist aggression.

crisis, it has avoided the perhaps final

chancellors of each university branch,
President Friday and his staff.
In a memorandum to committee
members, presidential assistant Richard
H. Robinson Jr., said, "The president
requests that the Consultative Committee
consider this matter and furnish him with
advice on the following issues, which he
in turn will communicate to the
Administrative Council:
-"Should there be administrative
limits on dormitory visitation privileges
or should each residential unit be
permitted to determine its own policies,
free from administrative restraint?
If administrative limitations are to be
adopted, should such limits, with respect
to both hours and days of visitation
privileges, be adopted on a uniform,
university-wide basis or should each
campus administration be encouraged to
adopt its own policy with respect to
limits on hours and days of visitation?
"If a uniform, university-wide policy
of limitations is to be adopted, what
ought to be its provisions?"
The Consultative Committee meeting
was requested by Bello to resolve the
conflict between the administration's
visitation policy and. the
"self-determination" visitation policy
adopted last spring by the Student
Legislature.
Whereas the legislature policy allows
each living unit to determine its own
policy, the administration policy limits
visitation hours and imposes guidelines :
for the formulation and enforcement of
each unit's visitation regulations. .
Three residence houses passed
visitation policies which violate the
administration guidelines. Since the
policies of the three houses were within ;

More than 2,000 signatures were
collected last week on a petition
protesting the conviction and punishment
of a fourth floor Hinton James dormitory
resident for a visitation violation.
The petition will be given to Student
Body President Tom Bello, who has
agreed to present it to the Trustee
Consultative Committee when it meets
today to consider the visitation issue.
Relatively few names were collected
because the first batch of petitions ran
out faster than expected and there was
not enough time to prepare a second
batch according to the circulators of the
petition, Carl Freedman and John
Simmons.

Many of the tensions of today's world
are, in his view,, caused by the drive
toward their ''fulfillment of the
well-known objective of Communist
world domination under Soviet direction
and control.
'The Soviet Union is the chief arms
supplier to the United Arab Republic,
Algeria and the other countries in the
Middle East which are giving rise to such
tension to that area of the world," he
said. "They also supply arms to Hanoi,
Cuba and their other satellites around the
world."
Lemnitzer also cautioned the gathered
leaders to guard against "an error in
judgment...which could now cause our
destruction. Our military

appeal his case, according to Dean of Men
Fred Schroeder.
Judged by a three-man
faculty-administrative board, the student
was given a sentence last week of
"definite probation lasting until January
31, 1971."

"The petition is representative of two
days work by two students. We hope in
this light it will strengthen the students'
case," said Freedman.
The protest began - when the James
resident was convicted Oct. 5 of the
visitation violation and sentenced to
definite probation until Jan. 31.
The student was tried by a three-man
faculty-administration board after
Student Legislature refused to allow
student courts to try residents for
violating an administration policy.
The petition registered the protest for
three reasons:
-"This policy is irrevelant to the
function of the University as an academic
institution.
"This policy is in violation of the

Atlantic Community includes his role in
drafting the original NATO treaty.
Gov. Scott defined the conference's
purpose by saying, "We must resolve to
live side-by-side as individuals and as
nations. We will never again be able to
live complacently within our borders.
"We have the experience and
knowledge to achieve peace through
communicating our technology to
others," he said.
"Time is on our side as it always is for
free people," he concluded.

conference Tuesday included Joseph E.

The case could have been appealed on
the grounds of either a contention of
innocence or a contention of an overly
harsh penalty.
The harshest penalty ever given for a

policy of self-determination passed by the
Student Legislature.
-"This policy, at any rate, is widely
violated with the knowledge of many
persons in authority."
The administration policy allows for
visitation from noon to 1 a.m. on
weekdays and from noon to 2 a.m. on
weekends.
The self-determination policy passed
by the Student Legislature last spring
gives each individual residence unit the
right to determine its own visitation
policy, including seven-day, 24-hour
visitation.
Fourth floor James, Project Hinton
and Carr dormitory are the only living
units on campus who have accepted the
SL self-determination policy and rejected
the administration's policy.

penalty it goes on the student's
permanent record-which precludes the
student from officially representing the
University."
The penalty bars the student from
playing a varsity sport, holding an elected
campus office or holding an office in a
fraternity while on probation.
The alleged violation was termed by
Schroeder as a violation of "residence hall
regulations concerning the open house
agreement" the weekend of Sept. 19.
The Administration Open House
Agreement catagorically limits visitation
hours and imposes guidelines for the
formulation and enforcement of each
unit's visitation regulations.
The visitation policy adopted last
spring by the Student Legislature allows
each living unit to determine and
administer its own visitation policy
according to the unit's individual needs.
Three residence houses (including
fourth floor James) have passed visitation
policies which violate the administration
guidelines. Since the policies of the three
houses were within the guidelines set by
Student Legislature, SL refused to allow
student courts to try residents for
violating the administration policy.
The administration has said it will try
any visitation policy violator not tried in
student courts.
