Two Red Scholars May Speak At UNC But Aptheker Barred
UNC acting chancellor Dr. Carlyle Sitterson approved invitations to two Communist scholars to speak on campus in classroom settings, but barred Herbert Aptheker, a Communist spokesman. Invited March 9 by students, the speakers include Vladimir Alexandrov of Moscow University and Hanus Pobousek of Czechoslovakia at Denver. The move follows NC Speaker Ban Law changes returning visiting-speaker control to trustees then chancellors. Wilkinson was previously banned. A student group protests and Dickson contemplates a suit to challenge the ban.
