The Daily Tar Heel celebrates its 79th birthday today.
Founded as a weekly on Feb. 23, 1893, the original Tar
Heel was approximately 14Vi inches long by 9i inches
wide about the size of today's Daily Tar Heel folded.
On the front page, one of the four columns was devoted to
a !ist of paper staff; a church directory of area ministers and
faiths; a staff list for the University Magazine and a schedule
for the Library.
The first Daily Tar Heel appeared during commencement
weekend of June 7, 1929. It had fundtioned as a tri-weekly
since 1925. The move toward daily status was achieved
through consolidation with other campus media under a
Publications Board.
Edited by Walter Spearman, now a professor of journalism
here, the first daily featured two pictures Senior class
president CA. Carr, Jr. and UNC president Harry W.
Chase on its front page.

After tour name
Debaters retain

UNC debaters Joe McGuire and Joe
Loveland have been active in tournament
debate for the past three weekends.
At the Northwestern Tournament, the
team came out of the pre-elimination
rounds with a 7-1 record. In the
octo-finals, they met with Redlands in a
Pollution control case and won the match
3-0. Oberlin ran an unemployment case in
the quarter-finals and were beaten by
Loveland and McGuire.
In the semi-finals, they tilted with San
Fernando Valley College of California in
a medical case, which they dropped 3-2.
San Fernando Valley went on to win the
tournament 5-2 against Canisius.
At Harvard, McGuire and Loveland
emerged from the pre-eliminaries with a
6-2 score. In the octo-finals, they debated
Florida State turned the ball over 19
times and missed 53 of 77 shots in Icsirg
their eighth game. The Deep South
independent has won 16.
Carolina, on the other hand, threw the
ball away 23 times but managed to make
46.6 percent of its shots in posting win
No. 17 against four setbacks.
The Tar Heels led by only one at the
half and never were up by more than 10
in the second period.
UNC Coach Dean Smith said he had
not seen his team miss so many easy
inside shots this season.
"The heat seemed to bother both
teams," he said, "and neither team came
close to its potential. Dedmon was of
course instrumental in the win."
The high-scoring Seminoles, averaging
93.5 points per contest, had trouble with
Carolina's pressing defense.
Clever little Otto Petty picked up 1 1
assists and would probably have had more
had Royals and Ron King not shot so
poorly.

Gov. Bob Scott told the Consolidated
University Board of Trustees Monday
state universities should stop
"in-fighting" among themselves and
promote a "coordinated harmonious
higher education program."
There are those who say competition
among institutions is healthy," Scott said.
"This is true in athletics, but not in
program offerings and budget requests.
"Unlike business competition,
competition in higher education can lead,
and has led in our state, to a serious waste
of our state's resources," he added.
It was the second time within a week
Scott blasted rivalries between North
Carolina universities for state funds.
Scott lashed out at Consolidated
University officials Friday for trying to
block East Carolina University's efforts to
gain legislative-1 support for-a proposed
medical school program. .
Scott indicated his personal 'desire to
see the committee of trusteeswappointed
last December to study the governing
structure of the higher education system
resolve the competition dilemma.
"The committee is now at work
diligently seeking an answer to this
growing problem," the Governor said. "I
have asked the committee to develop
recommendations I can present to this
session of the General Assembly."
According to Scott, the reason for the
committee is "simply that a halt must be
called to the in-fighting, the maneuvering,
the overlapping, the duplication all too
prevalent in higher education in our state
today."
"The University (Consolidated
University) has been a part of this and I
tried to make that clear last week," he
GPSF officers met with Chancellor J.
Carlyle Sitterson, Dean of Student Affairs
CO. Cathey and Asst. to the Chancellor
Lyle V. Jones recently to discuss plans
for administration recognition of the
Federation.
"They were all very positive in their
comments about the outlook for the
Federation," Baggett said.
Chancellor Sitterson had earlier
assured the graduate organization of
official administration recognition and
receipt of graduate fees by the 1971 fall
semester on a conditional basis.

oligopolies. Again, the team that defeated
them went on to win the tournament.
This past weekend at Dartmouth in
their tournament, the team tasted their
first real defeat of the season. Loveland
and McGuire failed to make it out of the
pre-elimination rounds with a 4-4
record.
Cully Clark, coach for the team,
blamed it on lag-power matching but
cautioned that the defeat could have
happened to almost any other team in
any kind of competition.
Clark considered it amazing the team
was as successful as it has been
considering the teams it has been
debating and their participation.

This group, which has been through a
schedule that includes such divers s entries
as Southern Mississippi and Southern
California, had only a couple of inspired
moments.
A steal and lay up by Ron Harris
propelled the Seminoles to a nine-point
advantage midway through the first half.
That lead was dissipated by the work
of Dedmon and George Karl by
intermission, however.

said. "But so have other institutions of
higher learning in our state-some more
than others."
Scott claimed the State Board of
Higher Education has tried with little
success to coordinate the universities, but
due to the lack of authority the board
possesses, "It's been like one referee in a
ring with 1 6 fighters all going at the same
time." , .
The Governor acknowledged vigorous
promotion efforts of individual
institutions but urged them not to
endanger the overall higher education
program at the expense of other
campuses.
Scott charged state newspaper
editorial writers, 4twho assume infinite
wisdom on unlimited subjects with
limited understanding," have placed him
responsible for much of the confusion in
higher education because he presided over
the Senate as It. governor from 1964-68.
'Furthermore, some writers still
bemoan the fact the General Assembly
granted my request that the Governor be
made chairman of the Board of Higher
Education," he added.
He called his appointment to the
board "the best move the legislature
made for higher education" in the last
session as it enables him to see "what a
mess we are in."
"It took me two years to begin to see
the picture: two years of listening to
arguments, two years of listening to the
quarelling, two years of refereeing
personalities, two years of watching
institutions apply for more and more
programs without dropping any that were
outmoded and unproductive.
"And I'm tired of it," Scott said.
'Tired of the wasted effort, the endless
jockeying, the constant feuding."
Scott also called upon private
institutions "like Campbell, Duke,
Livingstone" and others to provide
competition for the state-supported
institutions.
"Let us put aside old feuds and
personality clashes; let us respond to the
challenge before us with a determination
that the total program of higher
education in North Carolina will be
enhanced," he commented. "We can do
this. We must."
His recent criticism of University
officials somewhat relaxed, the Governor
implied Consolidated University PresMent
William C. Friday's position would not be
challenged.
"Bill Friday ranks among the foremost
university administrators in America
today," Scott said. "We're fortunate to
have him and, for my part, we want to
keep him."
Clark talked frankly Monday about
the prospects of the team for the rest of
the year. "We have sent 30 teams to 20
tournaments this year at an average cost
of SI 85 per tournament. The travel
includes trips to the West Coast-UCLA,
Redlands, and Southern Cal."
Clark intimated finances had often
hindered the teams in participation.
Often the debaters have economized by
driving all night rather than paying motel
fees. In several instances, tournament
officials who have wanted the teams to
compete, such as in the Harvard
Tournament, have waived entrance fees,
and have helped to put up the debaters
for the night.
Clark added he found the debaters had
been doing "everything under the sun to
stretch the budget so we can carry on a
truly national debate program on such
limited funds."
