®hr (Earoltman Volume XXXXV University of North Carolina at Greensboro, N. C. — Friday. December 3, 1965 Number 10 Draft Board Plans Nab Of Protesters <CPS) — At last 14 Univer-sity of Michigan students who participated in a sit-in at the Ann Arbor Selective Service Board office last month are now facing the possibility of immediate induction into the armed forces, Col. Arthur Holmes, director of the Michi-gan Selective Service System said last week. Information on the students who were arrested during the Oct. 15 protest was forwarded to their local draft boards on Friday. Only Michigan resi-dents who are registered with Michigan boards are likely to be affected by the pressure from Col. Holmes. However, Holmes has informed the local boards of all the students in-volved and has suggested they might be considered delinquent for disrupting a Selective Serv-ice office. Holmes emphasized that be could not make a direct recom-mendation to the local boards that the protestors be inducted for violation of a federal sta-tute prohibiting interference with the Selective Service sys-tem. However, he predicted that some of the local boards will "look thoroughly at tbe sit-uation" and "expedite the im-mediate induction of some of these students." sums of Protestors The authority for determin-ing the status of the protest-ors rests with their local boards. Last week it seemed apparent that some local board members were reluctant to take any hasty action against the students. Dr. Harold Dorr, a member of the Ann Arbor Board, pre-dicted that the board won't "panic" and "will be inclined to take all the facts into con-sideration." He added that "the primary aim of the board is to get students through school." Another member of the Ann Arbor Board, Robert Norris, said that although the students had interfered with the board, he doubted that any action would be taken against tnem. He said their academic rec-ords would be examined and if their grades are "good" he would suggest they be allowed to finish their education. Canceled Determent* The Selective Service Sys-tem in Wasninglon has report-ed that some other boards have sent 1-A notices to those in-volved in protests against the war in Viet Nam or me draft. No boards were identitied nor was any indication made as to the extent of reclassilication. National Selective Service officials arc against this policy and have said they feel most of those reclassilied for pro-testing will be successlul in appeals to regain their student status. An unxnown number is expected to lose appeal rights, Student Unrest Rumbles Provoke Education Moves By RITA DERSIIOWITZ WASHINGTON (CPS) - The rumblings of student unrest rnd the unprecedented pieoc-cupation of educators with the student have penetrated even the stolid bureaucrccy of the I' S. Office of Education. Two proposals are currently making the rounds of the USOE's Division of Higher Ed-ucation Research: a series of student - faculty - administra-tion conferences to improve the curriculum of colleges and universities end a national con-ference on the role of the stu-dent. The purpose of the curricu-lum conferences would be to disseminate information .bout innovations and reforms that are taking place in higher ed-ucaton and (o stimulate pro-posals for research protects in the »ren of curriculum develop-ment which the Office of Edu '■.il.n.l COUld I n Mire Dr. Arno Jewett, the officer in charge of the curriculum branch of th? Division of High-er Education Research and the chief advocate of the curricu-lum conferences, cdmlts that the conferences could become much broader than simply dis-cussions of curriculum innova-tions. 'There's a connection b> tween the causes of student un-rest and (he cirriculum of an institution, between student feelings about en impersonal-ized eduction and the kind of instruction received," he said. Jewett foresees a total of six conferences, beginning this February tnd continuing into next year, in different areas of the country. Each of the con-ferences would include five to ten students cmong its 60 par-ticipants and would focus on specific types of institutions: Junior colleges. Attention here would probably be direct-ed toward the development of junior colleges into community schools, serving the needs of Study Abroad Applicants Have Dec. 10 Deadline Four undergraduate academ-ic programs to be offered in Europe next spring will re-main open for applications un-til Friday, Dec. 10, according to their sponsor, the Institute of European Studies, in Chi-cago. Located in Freibrug, West Germany, Madrid, Paris and Vienna, the programs empha-size liberal arts and social science studies at the sopho-more and junior levels. Full academic-year programs will be conducted in all four loca-tions, as well as in Nantes, France. In West Germany, students will take the courses regularly offered at the University of Freiburg. Applicants must have junior standing, a B average, and two years of col-lege German. Students in the Madrid pro-gram select courses from cur-ricula organized by tbe univer-sity's faculty of political and economic sciences. Require-ments include junior or sopho-more standing, a C plus aver-age and two years of Spanish. The Parisian program em-phasizes accelerated develop-ment of skills in French, to-gether with other fields of study. Sophomores applying of this program must have three semesters of college French, and juniors, five semesters. All must have B averages. The University of Vienna's spring program offers study in a wide variety of fields includ-ing intensive German language training. One semester of Ger-man and a C plus average are required for sophomores and juniors applicants. The institute's year program in Nantes emphasizes engi-neering and mathematics. Comprehensive fees for the programs, including tuition, room, most meals, transatlan-tic transportation and field trips, range from $1,605 to $1,- 750 for spring programs, and from $2,405 to $2,760 for full-year programs. Further information can be obtained from the institute, at 35 E. Wacker Drive, Chicago. the entire community. —Developing colleges. Co-operation among the Negro colleges of the South and the colleges of Appalachia, accord-ing to Jewett, would allow each college to specialize and utilize teaching staffs more effective-ly by sharing faculties. — Teachers colleges that are becoming multi-purpose insti-tutions. — Large state universities, land-grant colleges, and large private universities. The con-ference would deal with ques-tions of student unrest, im-personalized teaching. ( h c threat of "doing research or be poor." — Continuing education pro-grams. These must provide up-to- date education in the profes-sional fields, including doctors, teachers, and scientists. — Small, prosperous, well-known colleges such as those concentrated In New England. The proposed national con-ference of the role of the stu-dent is a more sensitive sub-ject. It probably originated with some of the ideas thai came out of this year's Amer-ican Council on Education con-ference, whose theme was 'The Student in Higher Edu-cation," and with a proposal that has been circulating as a memo within (he Office of Ed-ucation. The memo, written by Jo-seph Turner of the President's Executive Office said, "This conference should examine the changing roles of the 'stu-dent' (including (hose of stu-dent age who have deliberate-ly chosen to become non-stu-dents or ex-students) in Amer-ican society, and the changes induced by these roles in the functioning of colleges and uni-versities." One of the purposes of such a conference, would be to get the activists to apply social science disciplines to their con-cerns. If destructive eruptions on the campus are to be avoid-ed, Ihe memo said, "it may be important to get the students better lo understand what it is they mean by such labels or slogans as 'university reform,' by their ideas of student par-ticipation in political action, and by their notions of a trans-formed social science." Why this sudden interest in researching (he student? For one thing, there is money (o do it. The recently-passed Ele-mentary and Secondary Act of 1965 considerably extended the research funds available under the Cooperative Research Act. Another factor in this new emphasis is the shake-up which is going on within the USOE. Once a bastion of re-searchers and "specialists," the office is now in the fore-front of carrying out programs and policies in a field wh.ch the Johnson administration has started as one of its top prior-ity concerns. As a result, many of the old titles remain, but the people who hold them have changed considerably. Younger men are being brought in to responsible posi-tions, and lines of authority are being reorganized to reflect the new interest of the agency. however, for failing to act within 10 days of receipt of a classification notice as tne law-requires. Lt. Gen. Louis Hershey is still encouraging local boards not lo cancel student defer-ments. Gen. Hershey, the na-tional director of the Selective Service System, says, "educa-tion has been considered a process which increases the value of a citizen to his nation. Deferment of students and teachers is, indeed, an imple-mentation of the national in-terest." Students are still worried, however. There have been reports from a number of schools that some full-lime students have been denied deferments. B u t schools feel that most such no-tices were issued because no notice of enrollment had been sent and that students can suc-cessfully appeal to have their 1I-S status renewed. Here again, draft officials worry that a failure to act within the 10-day period for appeal may mean some students will re-main classified as 1-A. Danger To Part-Time Sludrnl-s Students are feeling the pinch. Draft boards in some well-to-do suburbs, for exam-ple, have a relatively small pool of non-sludents available, since large numbers of the young men there go lo college Some boards have issued de-ferments without termination dates, leaving them subject lo review at any time. Others have been forced to classify students "not making satisfac-tory progress" as I-A. Still oth-ers have cut down on the num-ber of graduate deferments or warned that a student will not be deferred for more than one graduate degree. Part-time students, prospec-tive graduates, and men whose jobs are not clearly crucial to the national interest as defined by the Selective Service Act are all being scrutinized by draft boards. Deans at several schools have said that June graduates might not be able to accept grants to travel or study abroad in a non-degree pro-gram. They agree that stu-dents who joined no formal program — who wanted to travel or work a year — prob-ably would be drafted immedi-ately. Finances arc another prob-lem. Students cannot take a semester off to work or study part-time and maintain a job without risking induction. "With the rising draft calls, we've had a flood of applica-tions for fellowships and loins from those who can't afford full-time study." one dean re-ported. Married Men The December draft call of over 40,000 men is eight times the December, 1964, call and only slightly below the Decem-ber, 1953, call of 47,000 men. In order to fulfill quotas, many draft boards began taking married men without children in November. Men who were married before August 26, and thus escaped President John-son's summer order placing men without children in the same draft classification as un-married men, will be inducted by some boards in January, oldest men first. The age lim-its remain at 19 and 26. N. C. Accreditation Securer- Association Hears Singletary North Carolina University accreditalion is declared safe after Wednesday's meeting of of the Southern Association of Colleges and Universities. The Association, in light of the re-cent General Assembly action concerning the amended Speaker Ban recommended, "The finding respecting the outcome of the case is that the amended law effectively re-turns to the individual govern-ing boards the authority and responsibility for determining speaker policy and regulation, thereby freeing each board to fulfill its role in protection of intellectual freedom and insti-tutional integrity. "It is therefore recommend-ed that the affected state in-slitutions of higher learning in Norlh Carolina continue to be accredited by and hold mem-bership in the Southern Asso-ciation of Colleges and Schools, Inc." The resolution was adopted without dissent. Governor Dan Moore had no comment other than to reaf-firm his faith in the General Assembly and the trustees of the institutions of higher learn-ing and express his confidence in these institutions. Early this month Ihe Gener-al Assembly amended the law. removing the prohibition of Communists and pleaders of the Fifth Amendment in loyal-ty cases from speaking on stale-supported campuses. The Association heard testi-mony Sunday from Watts Hill, Jr., chairman of the North Carolina Board of Higher Edu-cation. Appearing from lwo hours tcslimony behind closed doors, Hill said he hoped changes in Ihe law "would meet Ihe ac-creditation standards and prove salisfacory." He said he was asked about the political climate in the stale before and after Ihe en-actment of Ihe 1963 Speaker Han Law. and how much the school's faculties and adminis-trations were involved in con-sidering Ihe speaker policy adopted by the 12 schools in-volved.

Viet Nam Policy Concern for UNC-G apathy motivated Nancye Baker, Stu-dent Body President, to "en-courage greatly student par-ticipation" in both Ihe "Great Decisions 1965" program and in some form of student action to support U. S. policy in Viet Nam. According to the campus president, students here are already late in demonstrating their convictions about the Viet Nam war. She suggested several forms for student ac-tion to indicate support in Viet Nam A petition was com-piled at UNC-CH with 5.021 signatures thanking General Westmoreland, U. S. com-mander in Viet Nam. Students here interested in a similar ac-tion should contact Nancye Baker.

"I'm extremely interest-e, l in seeing something of this sort on this campus. I'll glad-ly help anyone interested in organizing It." "A desperate lack of amuse-ment for Viet Nam GIs has instigated the collection of pa-perback books on numerous other campuses. UNC-G could easily do this as a worthwhile project before or after Christ-mas" according to Nancye Maker She added, "The col-lection of Christmas cards for (he GIs here is an excellent idea and I hope all the stu-dents arc adding lo the col-lection."

Attendance this year is something students should seriously consider The Great Decisions pro-gram is a Junior Chamber of Commerce sponsored pro-gram. The Chamber is ex-pecting to make the back-ground information booklets available to the University students at a cost of one dol-lar fifty cents each. The Chamber recommends the booklets as excellent source material for study in history, sociology, and economics. Three arlisls from the UNC-G campus were selected from approximately 1000 entries to have their works exhibited along with 106 other artists in the 28th annual N. C. Artists Exhibition. Robert Partin, an art instructor, Deana Bland, a student, and John Kchoc, faculty member, were the art-ists selected from UNC-G. Robert Partin "Whale" was a $500 purchase award win-ner. Deana Bland won the Ra-leigh Woman's College Schol-arship Award for her oil paint-ing title "Circle." John Ke-hoe's sculpture "Tone Struc-ture" was selected to be placed on exhibition. The exhibition of the 1965 N. C. Artists Annual is in the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh.

C. — Young Americans for Freedom have announced that "Debate- In's" on the war in Viet Nam have been scheduled for De-cember 7, on 22 campuses across the country with "very good prospects for at least an-other 25 campuses." The "Debate-In's" will fea-ture debates between college members of YAF, the nation's largest conservative youth or-ganization, and representa-tives of Students for a Demo-cratic Society, the left wing pacifist organization which is calling for an immediate end to the war in Viet Nam. Major colleges and univer-sities where "Debate-In's" will be held include City College of New York, University of Michigan, University of Illi-nois, University of Wisconsin, Smith College, Bradley Uni-versity, Colgate University and Michigan State University. "We have very good pros-pects," said Tom Huston, YAF national chairman, "for at least 25 more 'Debate-In's' on other college campuses. "We are most pleased," Huston said, "that Young Americans for Freedom is the sponsor of a format — 'Debate- In's' — which allows both sides to speak their minds and pre-sent their arguments." "We are condifent that YAF's point of view, which is after all Ihe point of view of the vast majority of Ameri-cans, will prevail in these de-bates from coast to coast." "We feel" said Huston "it is appropriate that Ihese debates be held on December 7, the 24th anniversary of Pearl Har-bor Day, to remind all those participating and listening of the great sacrifices which Americans have made for free-dom in the past." The "Debate-In's" are part of a larger YAF project call-ed, The International Youth Crusade for Freedom in Vicl Nam. The Crusade will climax on Jan. 7 and 8, 1966, with rallies in major American, Asian and European cities. "We are determined, said Huston, "to demonstrate to the world that American and Asian youth are united in their strong support of U. S. policy in Viet Nam and in their fervent de-sire to see freedom, not com-munist tyranny, prevail in Viet Nam. Una Federation of Music Clubs this past week. Both awards were in the profes-sional class — one vocal and Ihe other instrumental. H i s composition titled "Floria" for large and small chorus won in Ihe vocal category while his Dialogue Variations, for piano and violin won the instrument-al first place. During Ihe culture day. the federation observed its Ninth Annual Music Day with the presentation of a concert at the Executive Mansion that featured the Ciompi Quartet and the Men's Glee Club of Ihe University of North Caro-lina at Chapel Hill. The annual banquet was concluded by a music pro-gram presented by the UNC Men's Glee Club, members of the National Opera Company under Ihe direction of David Witherspoon, and Jane Win-field Reich, pianist and 1965 Young Artist Winner.

Red Clay Reader II Boasts UNC-G Faculty, Alumnae Talent GILBERT N. CARPENTER Through the art, poetry, and Erose of three faculty mem-ers and five alumnae, UNC-G is well represented in Red Clay Reader II. The Red (lay Reader is a collection of work by Southern artists, primarily, and also work by artists out-side the Southern region. Fred Chappell, Deborah Eibel, and Gilbert Carpenter are faculty members and Maud Gatewood, Diane Oliver, Heather Ross Miller, Ann Hill, and Mackey are UNC-G graduates. Almost all the art work in tbe book is done by UNC-G talent. Gilbert Carpenter, who hi presently chairman of UNC-G Art Department, has illus-trations scattered through the Reader. Maud Gatewood has a portfolio of drawings be- \ tween the cover which she de-signed. Miss Gatewood is pres-ently chairman of Art Depart-ment at UNC-C. Ann Hill and Mackey also have illustrations throughout the book. Ann Hill says that she "Is now at work surviving in Walnut Cove, N.C. and Mackey is curator for the Winston Salem Gallery. Reveiwer Appraises Leon Rooke, in a review for the Charlotte Observer, said, 'The Heather Ross Miller story, t'hel,' which catches a pregnant woman in her hour of need, offers a too-brief look at the character of that name, but the story succeeds in evoking strong reader attachment. Chel shares the peripheral vision that lent such substance to Mis Miller's heroine in her first novel, The Edge of The Woods,' " and there is that same shadow-power which per-vades much of her other work. Chel is like a woman who ex-ists in a poem but she does exist and occupies that world with Miss Miller's own subtle but particular force. "Not so real are the char-acters who occupy the very realistic world Diane Oliver attempts to create in her first published story, "Key to Ihe City." The portrayal of a Ne-gro family moving from their Southern home to Chicago, where the husband who pre-viously abandoned them is ex-pected to meet and care for them. The story is rich in de-tail but lacks that larger, per-vasive view that could have made it more worthwhile, . ." Miss Oliver is twenty-two and she is presently on a writing scholarship at the University of Iowa. "I» Progress" "When one comes to the novel-in progress section in sky lights up, cymbals sound," wrote Mr. Rooke. " These novels really are in progress,' as Fred Chappell says in his introduction to the section. The cumulative view one draws from them is of nothing so much as that rich, wonderful country lying ahead. The novel is dead? No, but Norman Podhoretz, who says it is, might be. "Chappell. represented with a fragment from what will be-come his third novel, "Dagon," sets the stage in his introduc-tion: "One important element in the novel is surprise; the novelist must keep at least two jumps ahead of his read-er, and if the reader 'catches' him, if he anticipates turns of character and event with a high degree of accuracy, the jig is up. Grand Imagination "In "Dagon" the jib is a long way from being up, and it is quite a jig. Who could out-guess the grand imagination at work here. In the space of a few thousand words the novel takes on strange but wonderful and all absorbing life." Fred Chappell is now teach-ing at UNC-G and working on two books. One is his novel, Dagon, and Ihe other is a book of short stories. The Thousand Ways, which is to be published in 1967. Chappell, who had a short story published in the Red Clay Reader I, said, 'There is a great deal of im-provement in number two. This year both the format and material are better. Kathryn Noyes' piece, 'The South, The Law, and Me," is really some-thing," said Chappell, "and Diane Oliver's "Key to the City" is a terrific story." Deborah Eibel, a former UNCG faculty member, had her poem. "The Visit," pub-lished in Ihe second Reader. Books are now on sale in UNC-G bookstore. FRED C-IIAPPEI.I.
