The tournament, which invites the top seven debate teams in the nation, will be held Wednesday, Oct. 28, and Thursday, Oct. 29. McGuire and Loveland have compiled a record of 22-0 thus far this season. Three weeks ago, the pair entered the MIT Invitational Debate Tournament and emerged victorious. UNC was the only team to remain undefeated at the end of eight rounds. McGuire and Loveland scored against Tufts, Canisius (a participant in last year's National Debate Championships' finale), Cornell, University of Georgia,' Georgetown, Emory, Oberlin and St. Peters of New Jersey. The semi-final match was considered by Cully Clark, coach of the UNC debate team, as the crucial one, since it was matched against UCLA. Arguing the negative of wage and price controls as applied to migrant workers, McGuire and Loveland won 3-2. In the finals, they crushed University of Massachusetts 7-0. the The UNC win marked the first time in three years that Harvard had not won the tournament. Because of the win in a tournament generally considered the majro national -tournament by debate coaches, the team was invited to the American Classic. The UNC team is the first team from a southern university ever to be included in this tournament. UNC will face teams from Dartmouth, MIT, Georgetown, UCLA, Oberlin and possibly Kansas State at Emporia in a round robin match. Previously, UNC has met a few of these teams and beaten them. The team will compete in the Emory University Peachtree Tournament, to be held Oct. 29-31. In this major tournament, 120 teams from all over the nation will compete. Cully Clark, coach of the team, has termed the record of McGuire and Loveland as "phenomenal" and is optimistic about their future in this year's crucial tournaments.

' "S Puppy is kid's best Alsop: GOP Seeking Demo by Karen Jurgensen and Jerry Klein Staff Writers "The central object of this wholly unprecedented campaign in an off-year "by a president of the United States is to move voters.. .over from the Democratic to the Republican house." Stewart Alsop, columnist for Newsweek magazine, made this comment Monday night in Carroll Hall as he discussed the 1970 elections and their consequences on students. Alsop was the .third speaker in the "Students and Politics... the Elections of 1970" series being sponsored by the Carolina Forum and the College of Arts and Sciences. "The President's chosen instrument," said Alsop, discussing President Nixon's tnps around the country to support Republican candidates, obscenity-throwing radicals every rally .. .always are you in those see at small Sit indents of both leading Republicans and Democrats.

Charles Winberry, Wilson, is president of the N.C. Young Democrats Club (YDC). He also serves as Chief Prosecutor for the Seventh Congressional District. James Holshouser, Boone, is the Chairman of the State Republican Executive Committee. John Boger, Concord, is the assistant chairman of the State Democratic Executive Commitee. Admimiisltraitioe "The only area in which students and administrators seem to disagree is visitation," Hickok said. "Although the issue of seven-day, 24-hour visitation has not arisen, the policy of self-determination is growing in controversy." Last week UNC-C house presidents met and voted unanimously for the concept of self-determination. They began work on a Housing Act which will detail visitation procedure. A policy similar to self-determination was employed last year when two high-rise dormitories on campus were opened.

"These people are, in effect, carefully controlled exhibits, Exhibit A, if you will, of what Nixon and Agnew and company want the voters to believe that they are really running against." Alsop said, "In my political judgment, for what it's worth, this technique of the President is very, very, very effective. It could even be decisively effective." His conclusions are based on observations of Nixon and Agnew in action on the campaign trail. He related several incidents from a recent trip with the President in Vermont, Connecticut and New Jersey. In Burlington, Conn., the President spoke about those who "shout obscenities about America, who refuse to abide by majority rule, who resort to violence," Alsop said. The President, he said, went on to advise his listeners not to return the violence but to "speak up in the traditional American way with your votes on Nov. 3. Speak up for America." o n o rojiracs 9 Besides presenting their views on the upcoming elections, the panel members will discuss ways students may most effectively participate in the elections. Each party will be given 12 minutes to speak and a five minute rebuttal. The session will then be thrown open to questions from the audience. The panel will be moderated by Dr. Gordon Cleveland of the Political Science Department. The panel is being sponsored by the Carolina Forum and the College of Arts and Sciences. It is a continuance of the series of political speakers being brought to the campus to discuss student involvement in the 1970 elections. first year caused the administration to initiate stricter regulations. Originally, visitors were permitted to come and go freely in the dormitory lounges, Hickok said. The lounges are isolated from the halls and accessible by elevator. A petition to alter the regulations and require visitors to call up for permission was circulated last year and signed by ten girls. The dean of students, according to Hickok, considered the petition to be the opinion of a majority of students on campus and the ruling was changed. , A petition with several hundred signatures is presently being circulated in opposition to the new regulation. ' Aycock elfDelte by Terry Cheek Staff Writer Aycock Dormitory Monday endorsed the self-determination visitation policy adopted last spring by Student Legislature (SL). In a resolution adopted at a regularly announced house meeting, the residence hall asked the administration to endorse the SL policy but agreed to abide by the administration policy "at least until Oct. 26, at which time we shall decide upon further action." Dave Crawford, the Aycock resident who introduced the resolution, said although the resolution "sounds weak," it was "the only thing that could have passed." Last week Lewis and Graham dormitories passed similar resolutions supporting the SL policy. The resolution passed by Lewis dormitory gives the president of the Alsop said all the newsmen agreed this was a very effective speech. Later that day in New Jersey, after the White House staff had passed the word to admit about 50 hecklers to the auditorium where the President was speaking, it became necessary to turn up the public address system to drown out the noise of the hecklers.. Alsop said the President continued unruffled. "You didn't have to have much of a sense of political smell to know on whose side the sympathy in that auditorium was," Alsop said. At one point in his travels, the President said, "One vote is worth a hundred obscene slogans." 'Alsop, however, scribbled in his notebook, "One obscene slogan is worth a hundred votes...He's running against the kids." "Students have been cast as the villain in the United States," Alsop said, "they have widespread unpopularity and negligible voting strength." Nixon's central thrust in his campaign, said Alsop, is "to identify himself with the 'great silent majority,' if you will, and identify the opposition with those kids shouting their four-letter slogans." He continued, "The very worst thing you (students) can do is to gather yourself in little knots at political rallies and shout obscenities. "Bob Dylan wrote 'you don't need a weatherman to tell which way the wind blows.' That's right, you don't. It blows towards the right and it's blowing hard and strong. "And with the help of those who CP Nominating The Conservative Party will hold its nominating convention of candidates for student legislature seats and class officers Tuesday, October 27, at 8 p.m. in the Carolina Union. All candidates for nomination must file with convention chairman Richard F. Barnes before midnight, Sunday, Oct. 25. All candidates for nomination must be "Good, "One of the problems student government found in dealing with the administration on this issue is that the dormitories have no official representation in Student Legislature," Hickok said, "Thus there is a tendency by administrators to ignore the legislature." A proposed system change is being considered and Student Legislature is in the process of writing a new constitution to correct the situation. Also proposed for the coming year is a University Senate which would replace all administration and faculty committees. The Senate would be composed of ten students, ten faculty members and ten administrators. One of the legisla iure's Backs 0 dormitory authority to make exceptions to the administration policy when "the president feels such action wise." The actions of the residence halls were in response to a resolution passed last Wednesday by the Morehead Residence College Senate. The resolution of the college (lower quad dorms plus Cobb) called for the support of the SL policy from all members of the residence college and the campus. The administration policy outlines limits on hours of visitation and guidelines for enforcing visitation regulations. The SL self-determination policy allows each dorm to formulate and administer its own visitation policy. Lewis President Joel Edwards, Morehead Legislator Tom Pace and Graham President Chip Shore met Tuesday with Dean of Men Fred Schroeder to discuss the positions of the dormitories. "We now have a clearer understanding think the way to make a revolution is to shout obscenities at the President or burn down buildings," Alsop related, "it could just possibly blow hard enough and strong enough to end academic freedom in this country. "It could even blow hard enough and strong enough to endanger freedom itself." Bello To Votes Wveee To Comirft by Lou Bonds Staff Writer Student Body President Tom Bello issued a statement Tuesday indicating his intention to appoint former legislator David Wynne as Suprejne Court justice. Wynne, who will be appointed in the near future, will be the first of three Justice appointments by Bello to be considered for ratification by Student Legislature. Only two of five Justice vacancies are currently filled. The senior history major served on the attorney general's staff as a freshman and later was appointed Assistant Attorney General under Dan Stallings in 1968 and Robert Mosteller in 1969. Wynne is a former student legislator and has worked on the Finance Convention members of the CP. The closing date for joining the party for the purpose of voting in the convention is also Oct. 25. Persons of all political persuasions are invited to file for nomination. The CP will also hold a regular meeting Thursday, Oct. 22, at 8 p.m. in the Union. Progressive accomplishments already this year is the opening of a new book exchange, Hickok said. The exchange will be operated by students with profits reverting to student government. The book exchange was begun in response to complaints of high costs and low resale values at the lone book exchange presently on campus. Hickok spoke of student participation in campus affairs as being "par" with those of other universities. "Despite an apparent interest in self-government by students, less than one-third of the student body voted in last year's executive elections," he said. In pointing out the lack of student effort, Hickok called attention to the refrigeration policy adopted and put into effect by the administration last year. 0 of each other's positions," said Schroeder after the meeting. Shor, however, described the meeting as "discouraging." "We will not take any action until we feel there is a widespread movement on campus," he said. Noting "it would be very difficult for the administration to enforce its policy," Shore said he urges dormitories all over the campus "to reject the administration policy as a group." He said he hopes Morehead College will take the lead in organizing a mass movement. Project Hinton, fourth floor Hinton-James Dormitory and Carr Dormitory already have rejected the administration's policy and adopted self-determined policies. Two weeks ago a resident of fourth-floor James was convicted by a f a culty-adminstrative board for conducting illegal visitation. He was given a sentence of "definite probation lasting until Jan. I, 1971." The Consultative Committee, an advisory body to the president of the Consolidated University, has been presented with a petition containing the names of 1,700 UNC students protesting the conviction. The committee meets for the second time on Oct. 26 to formulate recommendations to President William C. Friday on the visitation policy. The administrative council -composed of the chancellors of the six Consolidated University campuses, Friday and his staff will receive the recommendations via Friday and will decide if the policy is to be changed. Appoint Committee, the Publications Board and the Chancellor's Committee on Traffic and Safety. He was appointed Attorney General during the summer session of 1 969. As summer Attorney General, Wynne agreed to defend John Geyer, who was on trial before the Men's Honor Court for allegedly throwing a smoke bomb from a dormitory. Wynne appealed the case to Student Supreme Court when Geyer was convicted after awaiting trial for eight months. Geyer's suspension from academic affairs was overturned by the court. Concerning his appointment, Wynne said "I feel very honored to be appointed to the Supreme Court; and while on the court I will be a strong defendant of student rights, but above all I will try to be impartial." "Being Supreme Court Justice would give me a chance to do things I feel the court really needs to do on the administrative level." Bello's two remaining appointments have not been announced as yet. Currently serving as Justices are Tom Benton and David Crump. Such a policy was not even considered by Student Legislature and students thus have it by default. Measures are now being taken, however, in an attempt to put refrigerator rentals into the hands of student government. Money from rentals is presently being put back into housing. 'In general, student government should take the lead in what students are concerned with and feel strongly about," Hickok said. "And the duty of the student body president, as I see it, is keeping an eye on the University as a whole to protect student rights." UNC-C, which became part of the Consolidated University in 1965, has a current enrollment of 4,000 students. t I'
