Students Are In Favor Of Formal Ball
By BONNIE THORNBURY

Kernel Staff Writer

If these students' comments
are indicative of campus opinion,
the Founder's Day Ball should
be a tremendous success.
With only a few reservations,
most students thoroughly enjoyed
last year's formal Centennial Ball.
And they are looking forward to
another chance to dress up and
do something a little special on
a campus where casual Jam sessions and dances make up the
majority of social calendar.
Speaking about last year's
ball, Juliannc Schatzinger, Arts
and Sciences junior from Rocky
River, Ohio, says, "Last year it
was the most fabulous thing I've
ever seen. It was marvelous. It's
something everyone should do,
maybe not every year, but at
least once.
"Everyone should at least be
exposed to it. Last year the
orchestra played every kind of

The first Stars In The Night
program was presented in 1944.
Mortar Board, senior women's

until 1961 when Associated Women Students was organized and
took over the sponsorship. Before
1944 a banquet was given to
honor women students. In 1944
the female enrollment was too

told Student Congress recently
that it is looking for more efficient ways to receive funds.
Student Congress had asked
WRH why they got their money
from them, and WRH retaliated
with a reply that they were
looking for better ways to receive
money in the future.

As a result, WRH has set up
an appointment with Robert L.
Johnson, vice president for stu-

dent affairs, to find easier and
faster ways to have funds allotted them.
One WRH member has proposed getting money from the
individual dorms, but the question was asked whether a service committee such as Women's
Residence Halls should charge
for its services.
Another problem seen was
one of collecting funds from the
individual dorms. The money
would come from the social fees.
Applications for the
Little-Sistprogram are now
available from each of the WRH
representatives in each dorm.
This program was started to help
incoming freshmen women with
adjusting, schedules, and personal problems.
Work on the WRH constitution has begun, with a discussion over membership. Representation from the larger dorms
was the part in question. The
secretary said she would present
a revised section at the next
meeting, and the constitution
was tabled until then.

New Jersey has introduced this
week a bill that seeks to dismantle
yet another part of the rotting, unjust structure of segregation that
still humiliates and contains many
Negroes. The bill would reform
Southern justice, enabling the Federal courts and prosecutors to take
jurisdiction in state cases where
a fair trial is not possible.
Such intervention could occur,
for example, if Negroes were systematically excluded from juries.
It would become a Federal crime
to kill, injure, or intimidate Negroes trying to exercise their constitutional rights. The bill would
insure that juries were selected
n
from a representative
of the population. Incentives to
desegregate Southern police forces
are provided, and victims of racial
violence would be eligible for financial compensation.
President Johnson has already
indicated his intention of recommending similarmeasures, but Sen
cross-sectio-

ator Douglas and his colleagues
have in the past pointed the way
for Congress on Federal voting
registrars and other innovations.
Certainly, it is clear that legislation in this field is necessary.
Numerous Negroes and white civil
rights workers have lost their lives
in recent years, but Southern state
juries have repeatedly refused to
convict in such cases. The miasma
of fear must be lifted from the
lives of Southern Negroes and those
who battle to assure them genuine
equality.
In the North the need is less
for new laws than for a sense of
urgency about removing the roots
of tension. Six months after the
riots in Watts, eighteen months
after the upheavals in Harlem and
Rochester, nothing very much has
changed in the racial ghettoes. The
bad housing and inferior schools
are still there; the additional blue
collar jobs for the unskilled are
still missing; the aimless, angry
teen-agis still drifting.
The American Negro has to
help himself, but the larger society
also has to do more than it has
yet done to help him overcome
decades of past discrimination and
deprivation. A century after Lincoln, the Negro still has a claim
on the American conscience.

Students Protest Ban On Speakers

By WILLIAM GIUNT
The Collegiate Press Service
CHAPEL HILL,
at the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill have
formed a Committee for Free
Inquiry in protest to a decision
by the executive committee of
the North Carolina Trustees not
to allow two speakers to appear
on campus.
Gov. Dan K. Moore and the
university trustees executive committee voted Monday to cancel
a proposed appearance on the
Chapel Hill campus by Herbert
Aptheker. Mr. Aptheker is the
director of the American Institute for Marxist Studies and a
leading theoretician of the American Communist Party.
The trustees also banned a
proposed appearance by Frank
Wilkinson, national chairman of
the American Committee to Abolish the House Committee on
Activities.
Mr. Aptheker had been, invited to speak on March 9 and
Mr. Wilkinson was scheduled to
appear on March 2. Both meetings were to be open forums

sponsored by the UNC chapter
of Students for a Democratic
Society.
The SDS chapter was a leader
in forming the new Committee
for Free Inquiry, but chapter
president Gary Waller said the
group has a "much broader base"
than just the SDS chapter. The
new committee has backing from
the student government and,
with the support of the student
body president, the committee
plans a rally early next week
at which Cov. Moore and the
executive committee will be invited to appear.
Following the decision of the
trustees, Waller issued a statement in the name of SDS which
pledged the chapter to "fight
for Aptheker's, Wilkinson's, or
any other speaker's right to speak
in a free manner on this or any
other state university campus in
North Carolina."
The statement expressed "dismay" at the decision and called
it an "attempt to supress" the
right of free speech.
In taking their action, Gov.
Moore, chairman of the trustees,

and the trustees' executive comof the University of North Carocolleges and unimittee overruled the objections
