UNC trailed by as much as 11 in the final half, and were down by five when marvelous Billy Cunningham fouled out at 11:29. But Carolina unbelievably came back from the dead and led 66 65 when Bryan McSweeney hook fed with 2:04 left. The lead was Short-lived.

NYU's "Hap py" Hairston missed his free throw with six seconds left, and UNC called time out. Charlie Shaffer passed in bounds to Billy Galantai, but no one was free and Galantai had to hurry his up-court pass. It went over Bespess. the intended receiver, and McSweeney scooped it up and fired long as the buzzer sounded.

He "also goC 11 rebounds, one short of the herald ed Hairston, who played the en tire game. Barry Kramer, the Violets' All-America, got 22 points (eight for 18 from the floor) and seven rebounds. Hair ston finished with 18 points. For UNC, Cooke and Mc Sweeney , who combined to keep Carolina in the game after Cun ningham left, got 16 and 15 re spectively. Cooke was eight for 11 and McSweeny six for 12. UNC outshot the much-bigger Violets 50.9 (2 for 55) to 41.8 23 for 55). That's ten more points from the floor, and UNC's miserable night at the free throw line undoubtedly meant ie difference. The Tar Heels were plain bad (12 for 27)) while NYU was a fine 23 for 29. With Cooke taking dead aim from outside, the Tar Heels ral lied late in the first half, chop ping what had been a nine-point KYU lead to a mere 2-point advantage at the intermission, 36-34. However, it seemed that the rally had been in vain as the Smith men hit a cold spell to end all cold spells early in the second stanza.

HECHINGER In The New York Times The American Civil Liberties Union told the nation's colleges and universities Sunday that it was their duty to protect the constitutional rights of students arrested for taking part in pub lic demonstrations against ra cial segregation, civil defense programs or nuclear tests. The civil lierties organiza tion added that the colleges and universities should go beyond the defense of the rights of col lege students to engage in pub lic protests. . When students run into police difficulties off the campus, it said, the. colleges and univcij sitics should see that they are assured of fair trial, defense by counsel - and protection against police abuse.- The colleges were r TO JAIL Junior Edge, Carolina's star quarter back, is led to a jail cell late last night by Patrol man Earl Allison after he was arrested and charged with assault and attempt to commit In Law School Mock Junior Edge Is Arrested On ' Attempted Rape Charge (The following is printed with permission of the participants in connection with the annual Mock Trial Friday night. Picketing Law Gets First Try By JEFFREY DICK The first application of the newly amended Chapel Hill pick eting ordinance came a scant two hours after the Board of Alder men passed it Monday evening. Police officers said that two persons were picketing in front of Clarence's Bar and Grill on Franklin Street when the new ordinance was passed. Police officers approached the two at 9:30 p.m. and informed them of the new law prohibiting picketing after 7:00 p.m., then asked the pair to leave. The twosome complied with the re quest. The amendment to the new law, which set times between 7:00 a m. and 7:00 p.m. as the only hours when picketing may lawfully take place in Chapel Hill, was passed after Mayor Sandy McClamroch broke a tie vote over the law. Voting against the amendment were Aldermen Paul Wager, Mrs. 'Continued on Page 3 even urged to seek or furnish bail for such students. The A.C.L.U. also told edu cational administrators that "no disciplinary action should be taken by the college against a student for engaging in such of-campus activities as politi cal campaigning, picketing or participating in public demon strations, provided the student does not claim without authori zation to speak or act in the name of the college or one of its student organizations." Disciplinary action by the col lege for such action by students, even when the protests violate local laws or police regulations, "would violate the students aca demic freedom," the statement said.

Captain C. E. Durham of the Chapel Hill police department stated a patrol car was at the scene when the demonstrators arrived at the restaurant. After observing that the intent of the demonstrators was to stage a sit-in, officers on m the scene re quested that a pa'ddy wagon be dispatched. .When the van reach ed the scene, the demonstrators were placed under arrest. Restaurant manager Louis Taylor, pressed charges against the group for trespass. When the demonstrators went limp while being removed to the police van, police added the charge of re sisting arrest. Durham said the group was composed of twenty-five adults, Negro and white, and of one ju venile, a Negro.

The institutions were also warned against denying admis sion to a student "who has been expelled from another college because of his arrest in connec tion with a conscience-motivated activity," including sit-ins, pick eting, riding of freedom buses and other civic protests. The most controversial as pects of the policy statement are likely to be found in a sec tion on "Students as Private Citizens." On the one hand, the state ment demanded that "in their nonacademic life, private or public, students should be free from college control," unless they had harmed the institu , J-' " ' 'V wmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm IIIBilBiiHlil ; - - - k - ' i - - l ' ' ' ' - V 1 ' - ' - ,- . - , ' V J K Vj , - - i - . - i ; - .. s- -'mm rape.

Campus policeman Herbert Ellis, investigating the sound of a woman's screams at about 10:30 p.m., apprehended the quarterback as he attempted to leave the scene. Edge was taken Immediately to Chapel Hill Police Headquar ters and booked for assault with . the intent to commit rape upon the body of a female. The victim, Phyllis White, 20, of Greensboro, was reported un dergoing examination for pos sible injuries at Memorial Hos pital. Miss White allegedly left the campus dining hall Shortly be fore 10:30 p.m. and walked a lone through the Arboretum on her way to her residence in Spencer Dormitory. She has identified Edge as the man who jumped from the shrubbery and forced her to the ground, tearing her coat and blouse. Ellis reported he turned and fled when she resisted and screamed for help.

But even though the civil lib erties group denied the colleges' right to. interfere with the stu dents private activities, it ap peared to extend the colleges' responsibility beyond the educa tional boundaries by urging , the institutions to protect students legally, if their private, off campus actions, got them into trouble. . "Unless college authorities act in behalf of students," the state ment said, "there is the very real danger of alienation" and the possibility that students may turn to undesirable, self-serving outside agencies for aid. This was an apparent attempt to reconcile . what might appear SL Ur First Demonstration Case At Men's Council Tonight The Men's Honor Council will try its first sit-in case tonight un der the charge of violation of the Campus Code. The defendant, a Negro stu dent, is alleged to have partici pated in a sit-in demonstration in a public place of business. It is further alleged that he went limp when arrested, an action generally considered to be resist ing arrest. The court case for the defend ant, who is charged with tres passing and resisting arrest, has not yet been decided. Student Government leaders decided that the Council should not wait for the court decision since the Council is not concern ed with the legal questions of By DIANE I1ILE Liz is coming to town, folks. She'll speak on sex, alcohol and riotous ways to live. She'll also get your soul if you don't watch out. After all, if you are the daugh ter tf a millionaire and unhappy, yice is nice. However, this Liz needed Rich ard the Lionhearted for a mate instead of Richard Burton. This Liz is Gert Behanna, known as the "Auntie Mame of the Holy Spirit," and author of "The Late Liz," her own confes sion of sin and salvation. Miss Behanna, who has been through three husbands and an attempted suicide, will speak to the Di-Phi Monday night at 8 in Carroll Hall. She will speak on her life, what it was and how it changed. Miss Behanna has been speak ing at various colleges and uni versities across the nation. The unhappy and alcoholic daughter of a millionaire, she is the first woman ever to speak at the Yale University Chapel. She is coming to Chapel Hill Saturday night after a speaking engagement at the University of South Carolina. According to the USC Episco pal Chaplain, Miss Behanna's speech "was the main attraction for the week. She talked for an hour and the students sat spell bound. Students can identify with her. She made a great contribution in their lives, not only with problems concerning alcohol, but in their search for their personal relationship with God." Miss Behanna is being brought to Chapel Hill on an interde nominational church program. as something of a double stand ard, giving the student com plete off-campus freedom while assigning to the college full re sponsibility for protecting the student. Alan Reitman, associate di rector of the American . Civil L&erties Union, said that the basis for the statement, pre pared by the academic freedom committee, was "not necessarily a series of cases in which ap peals were made to universities for students who had been ar rested" but rather "the fact that the universities have an ef firmative obligation to provide legal assistance to students who are arrested as a result of pro tests away from campus." He pointed to a conflict in volving Syracuse University last September, when 56 students SEX! Compromise Undent Boycot trespassing and resisting arrest. The Council will deliberate as to whether the defendant is guil ty of an act of ungentlemanly conduct. A conviction in civil court does not necessarily constitute a violation of the Campus Code, according to Council precedents. Traffic violations are an ex ample. Kellis Parker, a senior, and Jim McCorkel, a graduate stu dent in sociology, are defense counsels for the case. Both students have participat ed in civil rights demonstrations over the summer but have never been arrested. They plan to bring in several witnesses from the faculty to give opinions as to the guilt of the defendant under the Campus Code. The names of the witnes ses were not revealed. Police officers and the owner of the business where the sit-in occurred will also present state ments to the Council. Other cases will follow in the next few weeks if the Council delivers a verdict of guilty. If the defendant is found in nocent, all similar cases pending will be dropped. Another type of sit-in case in volving alleged assault by a dem onstrator will be tried Tuesday night. Pickets Are Told Law Not In Effect A dozen persons sought last night to violate the town's new picketing regulation but were informed by Police Chief Wil liam D. Blake that the new or dinance isn't in effect yet. Blake said he was told by Town Manager Robert Peck that if a proposed ordinance doesn't pass by a two-thirds margin, then it may be brought up for a second reading at the next Aldermen meeting. Tuesday's vote on the ordi nance, which would limit picket ing from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m., passed by a 4-3 vote. When it is read again Feb. 24, a simple majority would be sufficient to pass the ordinance. Despite yesterday's "new dis covery," the 12 went ahead with plans to picket in front of Town Hall, and later at Clar ence's Bar and Grill. Dr. Rob ert Sitton, philosophy instruc tor and spokesman for the group said Blake's statement "doesn't make any difference to us. We feel the fact that it is even con sidered by the Board of Alder men justifies our protesting against it. We plan to continue," Sitton said. o and 13 faculty members were arrested during civil rights sit in demonstrations protesting segregated housing. The univer sity authorities at first insti tuted a policy of automatic pro bation against arrested stu dents. It explained this action by holding that the academic freedom of students engaged in racial protests did not extend beyond the limits of the law. However, the university re scinded the policy a month later and agreed to judge future cases on individual merit. The A.C.L.U. statement said that American students, "like students in other countries, are participating increasingly in the political affairs of their society." It declared, such participation essential to the attainment of maturity and warned college Bill Passes By JOHN GREENBACKER Student Legislature passed a resolution urging its constitu ents to boycott segregated busi ness establishments in Chapel Hill , by a roll-call vote of 22-11 during a special session Tues day night. The compromise resolution, "directed toward the alleviation of tensions in Chapel Hill," was introduced by Neal Jackson (SP) and Darst Murphey (UP). The first article of the bill opposes the present form of local civil rights demonstrations as "not proving rational or suc cessful in the attainment of equal opportunities for all stu dents of this university." Article II supports Student Judiciary investigation of pos sible Campus Code violations arising from the demonstrations. Article III urges all local merchants to desegregate and calls for a boycott of segregat ed establishments. Articles IV and V ask that two students selected by the President and Vice-President of the Student Body be placed on local integration mediation com mittees. Action on the resolution began after Student Party Floor Lead er Phil Baddour moved that the body table a previous bill on the subject which was sponsored by Borden Parker (UP). Parker's . bill, which strongly condemned student demonstrators, was tabled by a vote of 21-15. iNeal Jackson (SP) then rose to move that tine boycott reso lution , be . substituted for .an other civil rights bill sponsored by Bill Straughn. "This matter would best be resolved by a good bi-partisan bill, and I feel our bill will be much easier to work with," Jackson said. Jackson and Murphy's bill was substituted for Straughn's by a vote of 33-2. Miss Murphy opened debate on the resolution by charging the University and its officials had ignored the civil rights situation. 'This town will become an other Oxford, Miss.," she warned, "unless something is done to ease tension." Following Murphy in support of the bill, Jackson said, "I do feel that we, as responsible members of the university com munity, should express our re sponsibilities and do what we can to alleviate racial tensions in Chapel Hill." Calling for the boycott's enaction, Jackson added, "Each dollar will be a vote." Ron Hendren (UP) then moved to have the boycott por tion of the bill stricken, charg ing that it was a legislated ver sion of the opinions expressed by Student Body President Mike Lawler. "I am against legislat ing our own personal feelings on this matter," he said. "This deletion will make this into a wishy-washy little old trustees that "the public inter est is not served when the aca demic community is fearful of experimentation, controversy and dissent." The following were listed among student freedoms that the committee was seeking to protect: Freedom to discuss and pass resolutions, distribute pam phlets and circulate petitions. Freedom to participate in student government and leader ship, subject to reasonable standards of scholastic eligi bility, set up by the administra tion for major student offices. Freedom to join clubs, in vite speakers and publish news papers and magazines. Dr. Louis Hacker of Columbia University Is chairman of the union's academic freedom committee. .Las 1 awler See Edit Page 2 bill," Straughn retorted. Arthur Hays (SP) moved that Hendren's deletion be tabled in definitely, and more discussion followed. iMike Chanin (UP) urged that Hendren's deletion not be put off. He was followed by Bad dour, who explained Lawler 's reasoning on the boycott issue and urged the body not to de lete the passage. Rep. Murphy rose again to stress, "This is a resolution, not a forceable boycott." "Many may be alienated by this bill, but it is our job at times to lead our constituents," she said. Parker then rose to address the body. He presented to the legislature copies of the peti tion circulated by Clark Cramp ton and Armistead Maupin which said that the students who had signed the petition were not in agreement with President Lawler on the civil rights issue. Parker announced the peti tion had been signed by 1500 students within 24 hours. "The Student Body does not want you to pass this resolu tion," (he said. "They are vio lently opposed to your telling them where they can buy. -How bout shifting some of the blame to the demonstra tors," Parker asked. "They are the ones who- have caused ( the tension, have been dragged from the streets and have put police men in the hospital who have broken their backs to drag them off." ; A motion to close debate was passed. Hendren's deletion was defeat ed by a vote of 19-18. Speaker Bob Spearman then spoke for the resolution. Calling segregation in Chapel Hill "a moral wrong," Spear man affirmed the University's role in this issue. "We are not establishing a legal code," he said. "What this resolution is, is a moral statement by the legislature." Spearman discounted the Clark-Maupin petition, as it was reported to have obtained only 1500 signatures as opposed to the 10,000 students enrolled in the University here. A second attempt to delete the boycott portion of the bill was defeated by a roll call vote of 19-16. Parker then called for the omission of Article III, but his motion was ruled out of order by the chair as being dilatory. Don Carson, University Party Floor Leader, moved the adop tion of Articles IV and V, and they were approved. Parker rose before the final 22-11 vote to tell the body that "I have made my point and that of our constituents." Student Party legislators for the resolution were Baddour, Brewer, Carvajal, Ellis, Frie der, Hays, Jackson, Morris, Straughn, Wellons, Lindsay, Linney and Davis. Student Party legislators against the resolution were Ana pol, Lancaster and Shulf. University Party legislators for the resolution were Carson, Kramer, Murphy, Oettinger, Ogden, Simpson and Chanin. University Party legislators against the resolution were Ar rington, Dotson. (Meade, Par rott, Ragland, Lundburg, Park er and Allen. Independent legislator Poc voted for the resolution; all other legislators were absent for the vote. Legislators for the resolution with the exception of the boy cott in Article III were Lan caster, Parrott, Allen and Rag land. - Legislators for the resolution with the exception of the entire Article III were Arrinston. Kramer, Chanin, Carson and Hendren. (Chanin, Carson and Hendren voted for the bill.) Against the entire resolution was Rep. Anapol.
