A white spectator, whom police identified as Clyde Ray Jones of Carrboro, was forced to the ground and charged with disord erly conduct after he refused to beed police warnings not to drag demonstrators to the police van. A large crowd of whites gather ed at the main intersection and shouted at the demonstrators, While the other 47 in the parade Stead on the sidewalk and sang. By PETE WALES and DTH Staff Four of the highways leading cut of Chapel were tied up yester day afternoon by civil rights demonstrations which resulted in S3 arrests and several minor in cidents of violence. More demonstrations were ex pected last night after marchers regrouped in the Church of God on Franklin Street in Carrboro. The highway sit-ins followed two marches by more than 300 persons earlier in the afternoon. Demonstrators gathered in the Church of God between 12 and 1:30 p.m with singing and speech es by civil rights leaders. Representatives of all 12 of the state's Congress of Racial Equali ty chapters were here for a lead ership conference. Demonstrators also came from i'ie National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, iNAACP), the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), Che Student Peace Union (SPU) and the Southern Conference Edu cational Fundt (SCEF). The first march started from the church at 1:45 p.m. Pat Cu sick. SPU field secretary, led the Bon-violent oath by 280 marchers, 38 of them white. Floyd McKissick, national chair man of CORE and first Negro itudent to attend UNC, led the march down Franklin Street. The demonstrators marched silently in double file to the Post Office, then turned and marched back towards Carrboro. At the Columbia Street intersection they split into two single lines on either side of the street and marched back to the church. Traffic was held up briefly as they crossed at the intersections, but there were no incidents. Some 60 people joined the march before it returned to the church, half of them white. Back in the church, demonstra tors were told to leave if they did not want to go to jail. They were warned that the next dem onstration would involve arrests. More than half the marchers left at this point, many of them UNC students. At 3:30 p.m., 110 silent demon strators left the church in double file. They marched to the corner of Franklin and Columbia Streets and walked in a large S into the middle of the intersection. At a signal from leaders, all 110 sat down.

After about one minute, the demonstrators rose and marched back to Carrboro along the side walk. Some of the marchers stayed at the intersection and staged an other sit-down at .4:15 p.m. The heavy basketball traffic ' was tied up for 15 minutes before the police could clear the street. A crowd of 150 spectators, most ly UNC students, gathered to watch and taunt the eight dem onstrators who were arrested. Three were white. Meanwhile sit-down demonstra tions were occurring on the Ra leigh Road near the Institute of Government, the Durham Road, the Pittsboro Road, the Hills boro Road and Woollen Gym. Toe Raleigh Road demonstra tion occurred at 3:45 p.m. just as the basketball games ended at Woollen Gym. Seven demonstrators, two of them white, stood in the road with signs, but were arrested after blocking several cars for about five minutes. Five demonstrators, three of them white, blocked traffic for 30 minutes just west of East gate Shopping Center. Cars back ed up for nearly half a mile on both sides of the road, holding up the police cars. Cars driven by civil rights sym pathizers helped form the road block by parking diagonally across the road. The demonstrators received some harassment before being hauled away by police. At. Woollen Gym, 15 demonstra tors blocked both parking, lot Downs Traffic fv driveways and were dragged away by Campus Police. The dem onstrators received rough treat ment from the police but were not arrested. One Negro girl narrowly escap ed being- run down when- she jtried . to jump back in front of a car. On the Pittsboro Road, near Mer ritt's gas station, 11 demonstra tors blocked up traffic for 24 minutes. Dr. Robert C. Miller, a UNC History professor, who was one of the first, to arrive, phoned the police. Several men from the gas sta tion and from the stopped cars, began roughly dragging the dem monstrators to the side of the read. The demonstrators jumped back in the road as soon as they had been hauled off. Signs were torn from the dem onstrator's hands, and two or three of them were struck and thrown into the bushes along the curb. Dr. Miller and other bystanders helped prevent any further rough treatment. After the police had cleared the road, a photographer from WSOC in Charlotte was rushed by some of the men. He-was struck once or twice, but was able to protect his camera with the aid of the police. Police Lt. Graham Creel, com menting on the hot-tempered men, said: "Boy it's almost too wet to plough." Seven more demonstrators were arrested in a sit-down on the Hillsboro Road. There was no violence and little traffic tie-up. -s.

An Inside View By KERRY SIPE "They will try to tell you that you are tres passing. We know that is not so." The speaker was a tall blond-headed young man. On his dungaree jacket he wore an emblem of a white and colored hand locked in a hand shake. His listeners were young people, too three white and five Negro. I had followed them on their massive march in silence down Franklin Street in one of the largest anti-segregation protests ever staged in the town of Chapel Hill. The march was minutes over and this small group of nine had reconvened on the sidewalk in front of the University Baptist Church. I moved closer to hear what was said. "Remember, we are not looking for trouble. We are only dramatizing the failure of Chapel Hill to insure equal rights to each of its citizens. Our only crime is race." The young man. had the tone of a football coach before a game. One of the girls in the group asked me if I had a match. 'The Police are not going to hurt you. When they ask you to leave, you will let your entire body go limp. You will be carried into a police car and taken to the station. There's a technique to this." He laid down prone on the sidewalk. Another in the group lifted his hand and let it fall limply to the ground. "Act like a stick of butter getting ready to melt. You are not resisting arrest. Don't be afraid of that. You are just refusing to assist in your arrest. They are not going to hurt you. Just lie limp and some nice man (laughter) in a blue uniform will come soon and take you away. You are not alone. It's being done all over Chap el Hill today. They won't harm you. Relax, un button the top button of your shirt, and let them move you if they want you moved." The eight who listened nodded that they un derstood. own By MICKEY BLACK WELi, Fifteen demonstrators, including six whites staged a sit-down demonstration in front of the two parking lot exits on boths sides of Woollen Gymnasium yester day, blocking traffic as basketball fans left the UNC-Wake Forest encounter. Campus Police Chief A. J. Beaumont refused to arrest the demonstrators instead he and members of his staff dragged the demonstrators away from the exits. Only a few cars were able to get through before the demon strators were again sitting down at the two exits. Several drivers got out of their cars and pleaded with the demon strators to move. One lady said she had to take her little boy to a birthday party. Things nearly got out of hand when an obviously harried Chief Beaumont told the demonstrators they were going to get hurt if the didn't quit sitting down in front of the traffic. One unidentified demonstrator repeatedly tried to throw him self in front of oncoming cars and trucks at one of the exits. f - s' I " ARREST A Chapel HiH Police Officer moves one of seven demon strators who formed a human barricade to block post-game traffic at the intersection of Raleigh Road and Country Club Road near the Institute of Government late yesterday afternoon. Photo by Jeffrey Dick at .. joe aa. i ; Gym At He was held back by fellow dem ontrators. "What are you, drugged or something?" Beaumont asked the demonstrator. "I don't know what you are," he later told the same demonstrator. "You've had your fun, now get out of here." Many of the some 200 onlookers roar ed their approval to Beaumont's remarks to the demonstrators. After the parking lots were emptied, the 15 demonstrators got up and walked back to CORE headquarters. Much of the crowd followed them, but later dropped out. LITTLE TO DIRECT James W. Little will succeed William Perry as director of UNC's Testing Service, it was announced today by Dean Cath ey. The Testing Service administers achievement and scholastic ap titude tests to students before they enter the university, and offers vocational and educational guidance and aptitude testing to students during their stay at Ca rolina. 4 1 tS ' I If J 1 UNC (Finally) Defeats ake Forest By 8 W As Billy C M By CURRY KIRKPATRICK If ever a basketball game was won in the first half, North Caro lina did it here yesterday. The Tar Heels and their re markable ace, Billy Cunningham, threw everything but the tele vision cables at Wake Forest in the first 20 minutes and held on later to come off with the sweet est victory this sid of February 2981-73. Coach Dean Smith got this his first decision over the Deacons in seven tries with a first half 59.4 per cent shooting blitz which produced a big 45-30 intermission lead. But the win did not come be fore UNC played peek-a-boo in the final ten minutes and let Wake approach as close as five points before, finally, beating the hated rival for the first time since 1961. Cunningham, playing perhaps the greatest of his great games, scored 18 points in the first half, gathered numerous rebounds and blocked shots like a big cat as Carolina romped to its 15-point early margin. 5s. f'r AS Billy Goes Bad Day For As Heels Out - By MAT FRIEDMAN You could tell it wasn't just another basketball game. The grim expressions on the faces of the Carolina players showed it. And you could Niear that the buzz of the crowd was just a little more excited than usual. When the players were intro duced, you needed a . program to tell the home team. The an nouncer's voice was completely drowned out by the din.

But, with the score 67-52 UNC, he called a halt, and for the rest of the time, the Tar Heels looked like they were just biding time till they could give the coach his first top-of-the-shoulders ride of the season. Carolina scored but 14 points in the final ten minutes; they had started stalling almost too soon. For Wake Forest came battling back with a sticky press, and the regional TV audience saw the Deacons trail by 10 ( 78-68) with just 90 seconds left; and by five (78-73) wih 12 seconds remaining. Cunningham then dramatically settled it with a three-point play made the All-America way in reverse. The Kid was fouled at mid-court, got the one-and-one, and made the first. He then missed the second (not deliber ately, he said afterwards), but rushed in and jammed the re bound home, anyway. Sum: 33 ' ii Photo by Jim Wallace Up And Over Weak Ears Shout Deacs Even the usually placid Dean Smith seemed caught up in the excitement. He gave one of his players an inspired pat on the backside and smiled. At the end he -was still smil ingto the tune of 81-73. It was a bad day for people with weak ear drums and for Deacons. Even Bones McKinney was slow getting started. More than five minutes were gone before he screamed about a call. But Bones regained his form. His red socks blazed all after noon but were often dull com pared to his face. The Deacon jumping jack got really hopped up at the end of the half. He thought Charlie Shaffer was goal-tending and let the referees know what he thought. Things you might have missed on television: Billy Cunningham forcefully lecturing Rich Carmichael on how to conduct himself under the boards. Carmichael knew whose day it was. He didn't try to talk back. A Wake Forest cheerleader dressed up to look like a drunk deacon. Before halftime, he looked more like a deacon with a hangover. Lou Bello, his usually voci ferous self, taking advantage of a pause in the action to cast a quick glance at the Carolina cheerleader, thinking, perhaps, that they were a little better looking than the drunk deacon. "1 FJ b arks points, 12 rebounds, and 81-73 Ca rolina. Both clubs opened with man-for-man defenses, & UNC jump ed out to a 20-15 lead as Cunning ham scored 12 points. Frank Christie, who took him most of the game, Ronnie Watts and Rich Herring alernated on the Tar Heel gunner but not with too much success. Wake Forest kept it respectable for a few more minutes UNC was now in a 1-3-1 zone until, at 26-20, the Tar Heels made the first of two big spurts. With Billy passing off for bas kets underneath, Shaffer hitting a couple of all-alone layups and -free throws taking care of miss ed baskets, Carolina ran it to 33 21. Watts' foul shot at the 6:07 mark was the only counter for Wake Forest. Then, the Tar Heels really brought the house down. After Rich Carmichael put in two free throws, UNC scored six straight. Cunningham rebounded for a goal, went spinning and pumping for another, and fed Mike Cooke for a third. It was 42-23 and 2: 30 remained before Christie canned a jumper for Wake's first fielder since Butch Hassell had made it 26-20 at 6:25. Shaffer's drive off a beautiful feed from Billy Galantai and Ray Respess' corner jump gave Caro lina its biggest lead of the day (45-25). But Watts hit a lay-up, Carmichael got two foul shots and Watts a third for the 45-30 halfime score. Wake Forest came from the break determined to make a -- garD of it. The Peacons pressed all over the court and outscored UNC 18-13 after the first seven minutes. Cunningham got five early points, and it was 58-42, but Christie drove and Herring got two buckets to cut it to 10. The Tar Heels then ran a little bit more and from 61-52, scored six straight baskets by UNC FG FT REB TP Respess 10-4 2-2 6 10 McSweeney 5-2 3-2 4 6 Cunningham 19-12 11-9 12 33 Shaffer 12-8 2-2 7 13 Hassell R. 1-0 1-0 10 Cooke 6-4 3-1 3 9 Galantai 2-0 6-5 6 5 Brown 0-0 0-0 0 0 Toals 55-30 28-21 36 81 WAKE FG FT REB TP Christie 11-6 2-1 3 13 Carmichael 12-4 5-5 7 13 Watts 10-6 6-3 11 15 Hassell B. 10-3 6-5 4 11 Leonard 10-4 0-0 1 8 Herring 10-5 4-3 3 13 Anderson 0-0 0-0 0 0 Brooks 0-0 0-0 1 0 Lozier 0-0 0-0 0 0 Joyner 0-0 0-0 0 Q Totals 63-28 23-17 30 73 Halftime score: UNC 45, Wake 30 Attendance: 5,000 (capacity). ' Shaffer, Cunningham and Mc Sweeney producing the 67-52 lead before UNC could no longer stand the prosperity and had to play keep-away. Carolina shot a sizzling 54.5 for the game, but the Deacons had a quite respectable 44.4 them selves. They made 52.9 per cent in the second half. DOUBLE DRIBBLES UNC's Ray Hassell was a sw prize starter at guard in place of Cooke and performed his ball handling chores well. , The Beaufort sophomore com mitted three personal fouls fn the game all offenses against his cousin, Butch, who is a senior starter for the Deacons. But it was Butch's foul on Ray that was the most momentous. It was the fifth and disqualifying one that sent him to the bench with 30 seconds left in the game. Cunningham said afterward he thought this was the best UNC had played all year. The Tar Heels will need to be just as sharp in New York Wednesday night in a setting Cunningham and his Gotham teammates hava waited for a long, long time. UNC maintained its hold on seecond place in the ACC with a 5-3 record. The Tar Heels are 10-5 over-all. Wake Is now 1-9 for the season, 3-4 in the league i
