Alumni Scholars Total 24;
Six Represent Each Class
Charlotte Professor Lipstiz Proposes U. S.
Use More Moderate Policies In Red China
Twenty - four students are
now participating in the UNC-G
Alumni Scholars Program.
Until last week, there were
only 16 Scholars in the stu-dent
body — four representing
each academic class, but the
Alumni Scholars Committee
have selected eight more, in-creasing
the number of Alum-ni
Scholars to six from each
class.
The Alumni Annual Giving
Program, which designates
money for the scholarships,
was more successful last year
than ever before. Consequent-ly,
the Alumni Program was
able to designate that $12,000
should be used for the Schol-ars
program. Formerly, the
program has had only (8,000.
The additional (4,000 increased
the Alumni Scholars to sue in
each class.
New Recipients
The eight new Scholars who
recently received (500 scholar-ships
are Diane Robinson,
Jean Whitaker, seniors; Mar-tha
Carson, Esther Kanipe,
juniors; Lois Greenwood, Eve-lyn
Meredith, sophomores; Jul-ie
Homey, and Judith Huff-stetler,
freshmen.
Other Alumni Scholars are
Mary Ellen Guffey, Barbara
Logan, Carolyn Parfitt, Joan
Sharp, seniors; Wanda Hollo-way,
Janet Hunter, Judy Mc-
Donald, Linda Lockhart
Smith, juniors; Susan Beck,
Jane Fraley, Mariana Nicks,
Joalyn Roop, sophomores; Da-nita
Brigman, Annette Cox,
Carol Joines, an Betty Blue
Hoyle, freshmen.
Selection
Scholars are selected on the
basis of the applicants' aca-demic
standing, intellectual
promise, character, leadership
ability, financial need, and
demonstrated ambition. Each
scholar must be academically
rated in the top ten per cent
of his respective class.
The scholarships are initial-ly
awarded for a one year pe-riod.
If sufficient funds are
available for renewal of the
scholarships, the Alumni
Scholars Committee will deter-mine,
on the basis of the in-dividual
Alumni Scholar's per-formance
and conduct, wheth-er
the Scholarship will be con-tinued.
Four of the Alumni Scholars
Committee, which selected the
new recipients of the award,
are UNC-G faculty members:
Dr. Amy Charles, English De-partment;
Mrs. Claude Irby,
Admissions; Miss Be mice
Draper and Miss Vera Lar-gent.

"Disastrous, the worst possi-ble
action students could have
taken . . ." Dr. Lewis Lipsitz,
professor of political science
at UNC at Charlotte, condemn-ed
the recent demonstrations
by students against the Viet-nam
policy. Lipsitz continued
to say that more positive ac-tion
in the form of teach-ins
is the only reasonable method
of protest.
Dr. Lipsitz, proposing a
more moderate policy toward
Red China rather than the
present hard-core militant pos-ture,
appeared Sunday night at
Elliott Hall in <*n informal
talk. W
Dr. Lipsitz was one of many
speakers throughout the coun-try
who voiced a desire for
change in U. S. policy toward
the Communist nation under
the sponsorship of a new com-mittee
known as the Ameri-cans
for Re-appraisal of Far
Eastern Policy (ARFEP). The
committee has as its main
principle educational discus-sion
on the China issue rather
than civil disobedience.
Moderate Policy
Dr. Ljgsitz based his argu-ments
iW a more moderate
policy on the fact that the U.S.
has never tried any other pol-icy
except militarjcjmight in
dealing with the Cltinese. He
said that the U. S. had never
tried toXtnd out if there might
be poinS' which both govern-ments
might resolve through
some type of communication
on a more reasonable level.
The political science profes-sor
said that there were two
main arguments which pre-

ASG National Convention
Fails To Discuss Issue
(CPS) - Second national
convention of the Associated
Student Governments of the
United States of America
(ASG) ended here Oct. 17 af-ter
refusing to discuss the is-sue
of academic freedom.
The gathering, which was
billed in the national press as
a "moderate" answer to vari-ous
student protest move-ments,
refused to consider a
motion from Rutgers Univer-sity
which would have recog-nized
"the right of the student
academic community to seek,
tqgjiscover, to publish, and to
express the truth as they see
it." It would have further au-thorized
ASG officers to apply
such principles in all ASG
"administrative functions and
actions."
In a 44 to 8 vote, the body
upheld ASG President Thomas
Johnson's ruling that consid-eration
of the motion would in-volve
"partisan political over-tones"
and thus violate the or-ganization's
constitution. John-son
had earlier explained that,
under the organization's con-stitution,
any policy statement
is considered "partisan."
The constitution states that
"partisan political affairs are
not within the scope of ASG
concern" and that "only legis-lative
action which concerns
the administrative functions
(of the organization) shall be
considered."
Opposition
Floor opposition to the mo-tion
focused on the "political
explosiveness" of the academ-ic
freedom question at Rut-gers.
Rutgers became embroiled
in the New Jersey gubernator-ial
race after state senator
Wayne Dumont, the Republi-can
candidate, called for the
dismissal of a Rutgers profes-sor
who told a teach-in audi-ence
in April that he would
welcome a Vietcong victory in
Vietnam. Democratic Gov.
Richard Hughes, Dumont's op-ponent,
had supported the Rut-gers
position that the instruc-tor,
Prof. Eugene Genovese,
had a right to speak. Further
teachings since, however, have
only added fuel to the flames.
in what was termed an ef-fort
to eliminate the cause of
the floor objections, the Rut-gers
delegation later intro-duced
a revised resolution,
which stated that "the mem-bers
of the Associated Student
Governments being interested
In academic freedom, direct
that the executive council fol-low,
in all of its administrative
functions and actions, a policy
of academic freedom."
I iiconstilulion.,1
"We further direct that the
programs committee of the
ASG prepare a series of sem-inars
and programs on aca-demic
freedom to be held at
the next national convention in
order to further interest in and
discussion of this area."
The chair again ruled con-sideration
unconstitutional. Ap-peal
failed, ((-14.
Many delegates commented
later that while they had no
personal objection to academ-ic
freedom, they did not con-sider
it proper for ASG to take
a stand on the issue.
A representative from South-western
at Memphis, however,
predicted that "someday
they're going to have to face
this ... we can't let politicians
decide what we can and can-not
consider."
The question of admission of
two-year junior colleges as full
members was raised when a
representative of San Jose
City College came to the con-ference
seeking full member-ship.
Members of the execu-tive
council agreed that San
Jose City would be an asset
to the ASG but were reluctant
to open the doors completely.
One council member caution-ed
that "'Eastern junior col-leges"
contained a "very vo-cal
type of person who may
not have the backing of his
student body but loves the con-vention
floor."
Good WU1
Stressing the values in the
"current good will" existing in
the membership, he added that
"the type of personality that
we are dealing with in the
small New York colleges tegds
to be inflammatory."
The bill that the executive
council reported out to the
floor provides that a simple
majority of the council may
decide for extending full mem-bership
with voting rights to a
junior college. It passed the
general session with little de-bate.
The executive counci, which
consists of the national officers
and the eight regional chair-men,
automatically accepts the
credentials of any four-year
school.
In national officer elections,
only the presidency was con-tested.
In his bid for the presidency,
Dan Banmiller of Villanova
said "there are more conserv-ative
and intelligent ways to
handle today's problems" than
protest movements. Remark-ing
that only about "one-tenth
of one per cent" of today's
college sudenta are involved in
so-called student unrest, Ban-miller
said ASG should con-cern
itself with "only the prob-lems
of school, not those of
later life."
NSA
As examples he listed hon-or
codes, meal ticket systems,
and course evaluations. "The
draft, Vietnam, and federal
policy should not be topics for
discussion," he said.
The National Student Asso-ciation,
a rival organization
with JOO members, debated
both Vietnam and federal aid
to higher education at its Aug-ust
congress in Madison, Wis-consin.
The Association en-dorsed
the latter. The Vietnam
resolution, which criticized the
U. S. for placing "excessive at-tention
on the military aspects
of the present conflict" and
failing to "come to terms with
its underlying social, political,
and economic aspects," never-theless
endorsed "Uajted
States presence" in the coun-try.
Response to more than 30
seminars offered the 300 dele-gates
from 87 schools was
generally good. The turnout in-cluded
representatives of 56 of
ASG's 72 member student gov-ernments.
Richard Foster of Mt. St.
Paul College, a newly estab-lished
Roman Catholic semi-nary
in Wisconsin, said that he
had received many practical
ideas to take back and use in
organizing a student govern-ment.
Non-Involvement
Foster had also been to the
NSA congress in August; he
remarked that ASG gave him
"more of thtopasic informa-tion"
he was looking for.
A delegate from Bradley re-marked
that progress over last
year's conference was "tre-mendous."
Not all the response was so
favorable, however. "ASG's
political non - involvement is
fine in principle," John Mc-
Quitty, chairman of the Michi-gan
State University student
government said, "but it
seems to fall apart in prac-tice."
Salt Study Wins Gift
For Chem. Prof. Anderson
Dr. Henry L Anderson II,
assistant professor chemistry,
is the recipient of a grant of
(21,552 from.the saline water
office of the O. S. Department
of Interior.
Anderson's program will re-search
t h e fhermodynamic
iiroperties of aqueous salt so-utions.
His project is directed
toward the Department of In-terior's
study of desalinization.
To measure the heats of mix-ing
salt solutions and to study
the nature of ionic interactions
in solution, Dr. Anderson will
construct a calorimeter capa-ble
of measuring temperatures
to one millionth of a degree.
The proposed calorimeter is a
modified version of those cur-rently
available and will be
built in the Science Building.
Dr. Anderson came here this
year from the University of
Delaware where he earned his
doctoral degree and completed
a year of post - doctoral study.
He has taught at Delaware and
at Old Dominion, where be
studied as an undergraduate.
DR. HENRY L. ANDERSOf
He has published in the
Journal of Chemistry Educa-tion
and has articles currently
in press for the Joaraal of
Physical Chemistry.

Golden Chain was estab-lished
in 1948 to recognize stu-dents
of the University of
North Carolina at Greensboro
for outstanding effort and ac-complishment
and to encour-age
these students to continue
in service to the diversity.
Seven Quamles
Consideration for member-ship
is not based solely on
scholastic achievement. Can-didates
are judged in terms
of well-rounded, integrated
personality including the qdBt-ities
of service, leadership,
scholarship, tolerance, judg-ment,
magnanimity and char-acter
which are the seven
qualities that embody thP
links of the Golden Chain.
Nominations are open to the
campus at lajge twice during
the year in the fall and in the
spring. Members chosen liom
these nominations are offrHal-ly
welcomed into the organi-zation
at a formal initiation
service held at the Alumni
House.
Initiation
The initiation for the new
members was held Wednes-day
night, October 27. Present
at the ceremony were Alum-nae
members Miss Sadye
Dunn, and Miss Barbera Par-rish.
Also present were honor-ary
members; Miss Katherine
Taylor. Miss Mereb Mossman,
Dr. Rosemary McGee, Miss
Lillian Cunningham, Miss
Laura Anderton, Mrs. Lucy T.
White, Mrs. Howard Holder-ness,
Mrs. Josephine Schaef-fer
and Miss Marjorie Hood.
Also present at the initiation
were members initiated last
year. They are Mary Ellen
Guffy, president, Katy Law,
secretary, Martha Jo Smith,
vice - president, Shirley Salee-by,
Pete Cook, treasurer, Jean
Whitaker, social chairman and
Louise York Avett.
Nominations will again be
open this spring for those jun-iors
and seniors whom the
students feel represent the
seven qualities which embody
the links of the Golden Chain.
State KKK Speaker
Judgment Impends
State Attorney General
Wade Burton said Monday that
no decision had been made
concerning the possible viola-tion
of the Speaker Ban by
Klan member Robert Jones,
who recently pleaded fifth
amendment. He is presently
scheduled to address a group
of N. C. State freshmen.
Jones, who is Grand Dragon
of North Carolina Ku Klux
Klan, pleaded before a sub-committee
of the House Un -
American Activities Commit-tee
during recent hearings on
the Ku Klux Klan.
Officials of the University of
North Carolina have asked
Ally. Gen. Bruton to rule
whether or not Jones' appear-ance
at N. C. State can be al-lowed
under the existing
Speaker Ban Law.
Enforcement
Contacted by phone Monday
afternoon Bruton said, "I just
received a letter from the uni-versity
requesting a ruling;
and we are working on it now.
1 have requested information
from HUAC in Washington con-cerning
who the man is and
other background material.
We can't decide until the in-formation
from Washington
has been received and
studied."
Whoa asked who would en-force
Rle Spaker Ban Law if
it were decided that Jones
could not speak, Bruton an-swered,
"The people over at
the university." To the ques-tion
who will enforce the law
if the university officials don't,
he answered, "I don't know."
Normal Citizen
Thigks Reds Bad
"The avsjagc man doesn't
see anything wrong with keep
ing Communist speakers off
our college campuses," ac-cording
to Lt. Governor Rob-ert
Scott.
Scott was asked by James
Ross, Greensboro Daily News
reporter, if he believed a ma-jority
of North Carolinians are
in favor of keeping the Speak-er
Ban.
"He (the average man) be-lieves
Communists are bad
and that's all there is to it as
far as he's concerned. And the
man in the street doesn't care
about academic freedom of In-quiry.
He doesn't understand
accreditation, either, and
doesn't care about it," Scott
continued.
First-Hand
Scott has had an opportunity
to see first - hand how Com-munists
operate as he served
two years in the Army's Count-er
Intelligence Corps, in the
U. S. in Japan. He stated, "I
have never believed the Speak-er
Ban was effective. Com-munists
don't worry about get-ting
a speaker up on the plat-form;
when they want to take
over a school they enroll some
of their own agents and work
from the inside."
Asked what his present stand
on Speaker Ban is, Scott said,
"I think the law ought to be
amended to give the authori-ty
(to decide on the fitness of
visiting speakers) back to the
trustees."
vented any contact between
the two forces. One of these
arguments, he said, was that
the U. S. could not consider
letting "a country shoot its
way into the V. \ This is con-trary
to the whole concept of
the United Nations to admit
any devout military regime,"
he said.
"That's the traditional argu-ment."
he continued, "but if
the U. N. had only peaceful
nations, it would be a very
small organization. I don't be-lieve
that ilu' government is
dumb enough to believe that
argument."
"Paper Tiger"
A second argument. Dr. I.ip-0
sitz said is that we must prove
to ftuna that the U. S. is not
a "paper tiger."
"If we give in on any of the
issues between China and the
U. S., we will strengthen the
worst, most militant forces of
t h e Communist movement,"
he said. "That's the real ar-gument,
the -sophisticated ar-gument."
"The principle question with
China," he said, "is that we
have no idea what negotiations
would achieve because we
have made no effort. We have
assumed a posture of complete
hostility."

Coloradians Picket
To Break Budget
(CPS) - About 400 students
last week picketed a Colorado
state legislature committee
holding hearings on the Uni-versity
of Colorado's budget.
The demonstration, which
protested the high cost of edu-cation,
received support of
some within the Associated
Students of the University of
Probable Communist Scourge
Result Of Vietnam Protests
A new hunt for Communist*
may be one result of the week-i
id of Oct. 15-16 protests of
the widening United States
role in the Vietnam war.
In Chicago Sunday night,
U. S. Attorney General Nicho-las
Katzenbach claimed that
Communists are active in the
marches and demonstrations
protesting the war in Vietnam
and that the justice depart-ment
has begun an investiga-tion.
Kil in'ich charged that
some Communists were work-ing
for the Students for a
Democratic Society, a nation-al
group that has been a lead-er
in the anti-war movement.
! he rttorncy general said he is
awaiting results of his depart-ment's
investigation to deter-mine
the strength of SDS and
whether there are any direct
ties between the group and the
Communist Party.
Katzenbach cited federal
laws against aiding and abet-ting
persons to avoid the draft
and described SDS pamphlets
that were distributed at sever-
■I 1.11 us that tell how to avoid
military service.
P. u! Booth, a spokesman for
SDS, said Monday that "our
program is perfectly legal. We
are advocating that people
should become conscientious
objectors, not draft dodgers "
SDS lcallets i>nd literature do
not advise people to avoid the
procedures of the Selective
Service Act, he said, but to file
with their draft boards as con-scientious
objectors.
"Most importantly," Booth
said, "we feel that the attor-ney
general's drumming up of
the Communist issue only
serves to obscure the real is-sue
which is the war in Viet-nam."
He said that SDS would
be willing to explain its pro-gram
to any interested group,
including representatives
of the justice department when
and if they inquire.
In a staff study released last
week, the Senate's Internal
Security Subcommittee also
charged that the demonstra-tions
have "clearly passed into
the hands of Communists and
extremist elements."
Sen. Thomas J. Dodd ID-Conn),
vice - chairman of the
subcommittee, said that the
weekend demonstrations were
especially characteristic of
Communist tactics.
The subcommittee's study,
prepared at Dodd's direction,
conceded that "the great ma-jority"
of persons who d.lfer
with the administration's poli-cy
in Vietnam are "loyal
•
Americans." But the study-suggested
that leaders in the
anti-war movement have failed
to prevent or limit Communist
infiltration o( their ranks and
have thus left control to peo-ple
"who are openly sympa-thetic
to the Vietcong and
openly hostile to the United
States."
The weekend demonstrations
ranged from a parade of 10,000
down New York's Fifth Avenue
to a memorial service for
Vietnam war dead at Purdue
University. Similar demonstra-tions
were held overseas and
in Canada. In London, some 20
pickets marched in front of the
American Embassy while oth-ers
paraded in Trafalgar
Square.
North Vietnam's official
newspaper, Nhan Dan, de-scribed
the protests as a
"hammer blow at the Johnson
clique."
Colorado but officers of AS#C
were hesitant to endorse it.
One ASUC official tried to get
the demonstrators to leave be-fore
the legislative committee
left its meeting for lunch. The
demonstrators refused.
Cost Down
An ASUC met with the legis-lative
committee and, among
other things, asked them to
help keep the cost down for an
mil HI .slate student coming to
Colorado.
While the committee met
with university officials, stu-dent
leaders addressed the
group waiting outside. "We're
here today so we'll have the
money we need to build more
classrooms and hire profes-sors,"
one said.
"Bare Bones"
Last year, the University of
Colorado requested $13 1 mil-lion
of the $22 million budget
from the state. President Jo-seph
Smiley termed that re-quest
the "bare bones" needs.
When the leg.slature allocated
$12,425,488, a $2 million cut
was made in the budget, a pro-posed
increase in faculty sal-aries
was cut, and new teach-ing
positions were dropped.
The legislative committee is
making a preliminary study of
the University's budget before
submitting its report to the
legislature later this year.
