—Ralph Moody Speaks Here On Gag Law—
ment the panel, Law Professor
Dan Pollitt, Dean C. P. Spruill,
Dr. Carl Gottschalf, and Professor
Arnold Nash of the Department of
Religion, undertook to reply.
Mr. Pollitt said the University
faculty was in substantial agree
ment with the Legislature that it
had the power to control the Uni
versity. However, the gag law
raised grave questions as to the
wisdom with which the General
Assembly’s power was being
used.
“Speaker’s bans are nothing
new, restraint of intellectual free
dom is nothing new,” Mr. Pol
litt said. He noted that Nazis,
pacifists, conservatives and radi
cals had been fired from univer
sity faculties because of their be
liefs. “Last fall we found out
that the faculty gets in trouble
for its stand on integration.”
The big question, then, is one of
where the line is drawn. “Once
you start drawing a line it is
very difficult to keep from draw
ing the circle smaller and small
er. Our purpose in the University
is to expose students to all points
of view.”
Dr. Carl Gottschalk of the Uni
versity School of Medicine con
ceded that o’‘the 0 ’‘the political-philoso
phical implications of the law
may be far more important,” but

the law is having an adverse ef
fect in a very practical area of
his work. He had, he said, at
tempted to set up one of the
School of Medicine’s Medical Sci
ence lectures on kidney ailments.
Many of the experts on ailments
of the kidney are European, some
of them from behind the Iron
Curtain. Their technical knowl
edge had no bearing on politics,
yet if they subscribed in any way
to the doctrines of their govern
ments, the gag-law would prohi
bit their participation in the Lec
tures.
Mr. Moody rose to the chal
lenge. “In the field of sciences
is it possible that we are so res
tricted in our capabilities that we
must have the Soviets? The in
ference is almost possible that
we can't have any science or
culture unless we move Commu
nist Party Headquarters down
here on campus.”
In a question-answer period
later Mr. Moody said he had
made the remark in levity, and
Dr. Harold Hotelling of the Uni
versity Department of Statistics
challenged him with the fact that
in the area of statistical prob
ability the Russians are far
ahead of American statisticians
and have been concentrating on
the field for a number of years.
“I had no idea of the extent
of this thing,” Mr. Moody said.
Dr. Corydon P. Spruill, former
dean of the General College and
now Alumni Distinguished Pro
fessor of Economics, challenged
the law because of “present and
potential danger” it presents to
the University. “The question is
not one of power, not one of
academic freedom; the basic is
sue is—not the power of the Leg
islature—but how wisely it is
used.”
Dr. Spruill said he perceived
a paradox in the brfiavior of the
General Assembly, in having
voted record appropriations for
the improvement of higher edu
cation in North Carolina, and
then having passed the gag law.
“Here is a very impressive ease
of a legislature that broke new
ground in education, began to
take steps toward a viable sys
tem of education and then, fi
nally, under circumstances I did
not understand; posed a threat
to the delicate balance of power”
existing between academic free
dom and the governing powers
of the University.
Dr. Arnold Nash, Professor of
Religion, charged that the law had
in effect destroyed the pioneering
example of a unique concept of
education. In the evolution of the
university, et first students con
trolled administration, as in the
• -University of Bologna. Later, at
Oxford and Cambridge, faculty
controlled it, “to extent that to
day All Souls College at Oxford
chooses to have no students at all
because the faculty doesn’t want
any. In the history of education,
Chapel Hill set a pattern for the
rest of the world. We tried to say
the people should have their own
university ... not the Pope, not
the King, not the students, but
the people.”
"It seemed for a while you
gentlemen wanted to make a case
of it 'the law'—perhaps you did.
But I had no idea of the extent
of it, of the impact of this thing,"
Mr. Moody remarked after the
panelists had finished.
Several professors queried Mr.
Moody after the program.
“Is this a good law,” Dr. Rob
ert Jenner asked.
“I’m not concerned with the
policy of the law,” Mr. Moody
replied.
Chapter president Dr. Daniel
Okun announced at the close of
the meeting that an ad hoc com
mittee under, the chairmanship
of Dr. John Graham of the School
of Medicine has been appointed to
study the law with an eye to pos
sible action for repeal.

Nine Bad Checks
Are Passed Here
A rash of bad checks has been
reported among Chapel Hill busi
nesses.
Chapel Hill Police Chief W. D.
Blake said this morning that nine
worthless checks had been passed
since the end of October at vari
ous businesses in Chapel Hill,
among them Village Pharmacy
and Walker’s Gulf.
Each of the checks was made
cut for $45 and was signed by G.
Timothy Kimpson. The address
given was 210 Church Street. No
person of that name lives at 210
Church Street. i
Chief Blake said no warrants

Dr. Thompson also reported
that he had reactivated the PTA
Council, an organization of PTA
presidents. At a meeting of the
Council last week, he said he had
asked the PTA presidents to stop
their PTA's from raising funds to
buy things for schools. He said
he thought he should decide
what the schools needed, and that
if the schools needed something
the Board should pay for it; that
PTA purchase of items for one
school (piancs, Venetian blinds,
etc.) caused dissatisfaction in
other schools with less wealthy
PTA’s; and that PTA prrchase
of some items incurred more ex
pense for the schools.
Examples: pianos, which Dr.
Thompson said had to be tuned
every year at sls each; and vene
tion blinds, which he said in
creased the schools’ light bills.
“If I think Venetian blinds will
raise the light bill—which I do
then I don’t want the PTA’s put
ting in Venetian blinds. I’ll have
all the other schools clamoring
for Venetian blinds too, and the
Board hasn’t got the money for
Venetian blinds for all the
schools.”
He said PTA’s were welcome
to beautify their scnools grounds
or enrich their schools, but that
some control had to be maintain
ed over this enrichment.
Other Board business;
—An estimate had been receiv
ed for grading the playing field
£,t Guy B. Phillips Junior High
of $6,000 (SB,OOO if rock is hit).
Dr. Thompson will report to the
Roard on how this will affect the
budget.
Board members Ben Perry, Dr.
Fred Ellis, and Rev. J. R. Man
ley were appointed as a commit
tee to verify the facts contain
ed in the Research Triangle Plan
ning Commission’s recent "701
Report” on Chapel Hill’s future
school needs. Errors in the re
port's factual information will be
corrected before the Board ac
cepts the report.
—Dr. Thompson said he plan
ned to alter the high school class
schedule so that laboratory per
iods could be conducted for long
er than 55 minutes, to give lab
oratory classes enough time to
get lab work done before the
class ended.
—Radial Road —
approval by the State Highway
Department. District Highway
Commissioner James L. Mac-
Cbrnroc told local officials in a
meeting last summer that the
Highway Department would not
approve the Plan until the Ra
dial Road had been added.
Town officials replied that they
had met concerted opposition to
the Plan from land owners in the
area, and Mr. Mac Lam roc and
other Highway Department of
ficials agreed to conduct a study
of the road and indicate the
route it should follow. Subse
quent to the meeting, the De
partment has taken no known
action. Board member James
Wallace reported that a team of
Department surveyors had tour
ed the area of the road with
land owner William L. Hunt, but
the routing of the road is not
known to have been made.
The Planners voted to urge the
Board of Aldermen to seek High
way Department action at the
earliest possible time.
The Planners also held prelim
inary discussions of the nature
and zoning of Airport Road, not
ing the problems it presents and
its possible future role as a
thoroughfare in the Planning
Area. Roughly half-a-dozen resi
dents of areas along the road
were present for the discussion.
Roy Martin, chairman of the
Board’s Zoning Committee, call
ed for a public meeting to dis
cuss Airport Road, as a prelimin
ary to possible up-grading of
the Road’s zoning. The Planners
set a special meeting for the
discussion December S.
In other business, the Planners
received a preliminary report on
the Town’s traffic study from
resident planner Lucien Faust.
Mr. Faust said he was “in pos
session of a large quantity of
unsorted statistics on traffic in
Chapel Hill.”
The Planners also approved
final and preliminary plats for
Coker Hills, Crowell Little Real
Estate Co., Hillside Estates,
Ridgefield Heights Section 4, and
Farrington Hills subdivisions.
Phillips Doghouse
Is A Total Loss
The Robert D. Phillips dog
house on Buriage Drive burned to
the ground at 6 Monday morning.
The fire started from a short
circuit in the electrical cord for
a light bulb which kept the dog
warm. A newspaper delivery boy
discovered the fire after it was
well-advanced. The Phillips house
is of brick, but the doghouse burn
ed severely enough to get the
eaves of the residence on fire.
Rafters and the roof were fire
damaged and much of the house
smoke-damaged.
The dog was aot injured, and
no other injuries were reported.
ROSS SCROGGS
Planning Board
Officers Elected
Ross Scroggs was elected last
nigit to succeed himself as chair
man of the Planning Board for a
one-year term.
The Board also elected Roy
Martin to a one-year term as vice
chairman, succeeding Dr. Fred
eric Cleaveland. Election of both
was by acclamation.
Mr. Scroggs succeeded C. Whid
Powell as chairman earlier this
year, after Mr. Powell resigned
nis post.
Mr. Martin will continue to
serve as chairman of the Board’s
Zoning Committee.
In other business the Planners
corrected what chairman Ross
Scroggs termed “an awkward con
tradiction” in the Town's table
of district regulations, specify
ing setback requirements for
buildings in regional commercial
zones. The Board promptly vot
ed to request the Board of Aider
men to add an amendment to the
ordinance. The discrepancy was
rioted in a letter to the Board
from Assistant Town Manager
Don Archer.
Mr. Archer’s letter stated that
the ordinance as now written per
mits buildings in regional com
mercial zones to abut property
lines, if there are no windows on
the abutting walls. If there are
windows, however, the building
must be set back 3V4 feet from
the line.
In another section of the ordi
nance, building heights for the
regional commercial zone are set
at 90 feet. However, buildings
must be set back from property
lines a distance equal to the
height of the building. If thfe two
contradictory provisions were fol
lowed to the letter, the permis
sible building height in the zon£
would be 34 feet.

man fanner and apiarist,

Jack Daniels Distilleries Co. in
Kentucky and has made several
gallons of pqrsin)mon beer, fol
lowing the recipe of the late
UNC historian H. M. Wagstaff.

2. Dr. Richard Burt, Winston-
Salem gynecologist and short

phoned to ask for the famous
championship persimmon pud
ding recipe.
3. Mr. and Mrs. Horace Cator,
formerly of Chapel Hill and now
of Sewickly, Pennsylvania, sent
a clipping from a daily news
paper in the Keystone State,
commenting on National Per
simmon Week, and saying that
the persimmon once had a role
in a great war and the fall of
nations.
Mark Antony was riding in a
boat with Cleopatra, according
to this informant. She had all
kinds of fruits aboard, including
persimmon. They were cabnly
eating fruit, and up to tnat min
ute Mark Antony had not sus
pected any romantic intentions
Dy Cleopatra.
Cleopatra picked up a green
persimmon, tnat was enixea witn
the other fruit, and popped it
into her mouth.
When Marx Antony saw her
lips all puckered up, he was
astonished at first. But, being
a considerate gentleman, he
promptly and properly kissed
her. That augured tne beginning
ot the Trojan War.
With thanks and best wishes
to the Horace Cators, aiM also
to Dr. Burt and Tom Shetley, we
have now passed mio-season
with the persimmon—and at
this writing only one light frost
so far.
