A Magic Spell
By KERRY SIPE
DTH Staff Writer
The magic date of Nov. 3 cast its spell over North
Carolina this week in full political force.
It was Lyndon B. Johnson and his wife who wielded
."-5 I
the magic wands.
They said the magic words, and the state capitol was
transformed into a miniature Atlantic City. Reynold's
Coliseum was transformed into a miniature convention
hall.
But there was nothing minia
ture about the enthusiasm.
LBJ signs and placards bob
bed fitfully above the crowd of
15,000 people thicker than demo
cratic hairs on a dog's back.
Twenty diferent high school
and college bands played musi
( al chairs in the balcony above
hie rally.
Pretty girls Pressed (or al
most dressed) in red, white and
blue silk uniforms spun batons,
sang and led cheers about their
favorite Texas democrat,
n Signs labeled groups of ralliers
in the mob everyone was pre
sent and accounted for, from
Boy Scout Troop 87 to
the International Union of Lady's
Garment Workers.
' The press section of the coli
seum was filled , with pencil
chewing reporters . Waiting . rest
lessly for something newsworthy
to happen. . .
, The object of all the excite

But when he finally arrived,
he gave them what . they were
looking for.
He told North Carolinians
how great they are and they

Unusual Signs
Greet Lady Bird
A number of unusual signs
were noted by reporters on
hand at Mrs Lyndon Johnson's
brief stop in Durham yester
day morning. They included:
A blue-and-white placard
reading "Duke Trusts LBJ."
A hand-carried sign say
ing "Durham Citizens Council
For Goldwater."
& A huge brown creation
saying "The USA Needs LBJ
Like It Needs Graft, Hypocrisy,
and a Hole-in-the-head."
A sign bearing a likeness
of Hitler reading "Bury Gold
water." And last but not least, a
small red-and-white number
bearing the legend "Avery
Dorm Backs LBJ."
11 Bills On
SL Agenda
- . . JO .....
For Tonight
A total' of 11 bills covering a
variety of subjects may be voted
on by Student Legislature tonight
;al 7:30 in New East.:
Two outstanding bills are Stu
dent Party Floor Leader Arthur
Hays' latest, bill to modify the
elections laws, and a bill introduc
ed by. Speaker Pro Tem Charles
Neely (SP) supporting the rein
statement of the nondiscrimina
tory housing policy.
If Hays', bill is enacted, half of
the seats in Student Legislature
would come up for election each
semester rather than all of the
seats coming up each spring as
the current law requires.
Neely's resolution supports the
action of Student Body President
Bob Spearman and Administration
officials in replacing the Univer
sity's racially discriminatory
housing policy with the old non
discriminatory one. ,
This resolution is likely to
touch off debate between moder
ate and conservative elements in
the body.
Rep. Sandra Burden (SP) has
introduced a resolution request
ing the president of the student
body to appoint a special com
mittee to investigate Athletic
poiicies in the seating of students
and the pricing of date tickets
for athletic events.-
Appropriation bills asking for
the allotment of $5,326 from the .
general surplus fund have been
introduced to cover the costs
of the Fine Arts Festival, the
French Exchange program, the
Campus Affairs Committee, the
President's Discretionary Fund,
the Executive Secretary's salary,
and a new, typewriter for Student
Government.

DTII Co-Editors
Note: DTII Editors Fred
Seely and Hugh Stevens,
accompanied by Associate
Editor Pete Wales, rode
the "Lady Bird Special"
from Raleigh to Durham
yesterday morning:. The
trip was arranged through
the Durham County Citi
zens for Johnson-Humphrey.
ABOARD THE LADY BIRD
SPECIAL Riding Mrs. Lyn
don Johnson's campaign train
can be a chilling experience
if you leave the warm hospi
tality of the press car and step
outside at 6 a.m.
The weather bureau pro
nounced the 36-degree tem
perature a new record low for
Oct. 7, and there was no doubt
about it in the minds of the
100-odd newsmen who shiv
ered in the cold at a Raleigh
railroad siding early Wednes
day morning.
Inside, however, the atmos
phere was warmer, due partly
to the train's heating equip
ment and partly to the bright
smiles and sunny dispositions
of the Democratic bigwigs and
littlewigs assembled for the
trip across North Carolina.
.Brightest and '; most chipper11'' somewhat' more morose. ' But
of all was Lady Bird herself,
a bundle of radiance this
frosty morning. But she had
stiff competition in the smiles
department from such digni
taries as Terry Sanford, Hale
Boggs, Luther Hodges and
Horace Kornegay.
The press crew, old hands at
this sort of thing by now, was
many of them, too, were no
ticeably, enthusiastic about the
First Lady's whistle-stop tour
of the Southland.
An exception was the CBS
man who responded to his
colleague's , cheery "How ya
feelin?" with a grunt, a gri
mace and a growl. The growl
apparently originated in his
Reserved For DDD'
RALEIGH "Reserved for
DDD," the sign said. But what
officials at William Neal Rey
nolds Coliseum didn't know
was that DDD stood for Don
Devore's Democrats, a group
of N. C. State students belong
ing to Sigma Alpha Mu fra
ternity. Now, Don Devore's Demo
crats " didn't have an official,
reserved seat invitation to the
LBJ festivities. So they decid
ed to invite themselves, ac
cording to Sigma Mu president
Alan Charin.
It seems that four of the
DDD's (Sigma Alpha Mu
pledges) simply walked into
Coliseum at 1:30 p.m., some
four hours before the doors
were to open.
Then, the four proceeded to
erect , a large "Reserved for
DDD" sign. They also roped
off the first four rows of the
seating area directly . behind
the reserved section.
During the afternoon, dur
ing split shifts, some 60 DDD's
guarded the seats. But they
really didn't have to, since of
ficials didn't ask them any
questions.
"Everyone thought it . was
official," Steve Kraus, a
pledge from New York City
said.
"There were no questions
asked, which jus! goes to show
you that sometimes an early
bird in the audience is worth
two on the stage." Mickey

. "Missed -m breakfast" as he
hoisted his .heavy camera" and
fed it a can of fresh film.
At precisely; 6:20 a.m., when
. the red-white-and-blue "Spe
cial" rumbled out of its berth,
the press car was virtually de
serted except for Hie CBS pair,
Charlotte (WBT) newsman Bob
Hager, and ourselves. But the
politicians were out in force,
and they overran the dining
cars, where the food was great
but the prices sky high. .
Bob Scott, Democratic candi
date for Lt. Governor, greeted
us over a cup of 35-cent coffee
, and said his campaign was
going "just fine." Scott, who is
also national chairman of the
Rural Citizens for Johnson
Humphrey, said the rural vote
is "nip and tuck" in North
.Carolina right now, but he
expects Johnson to win.
He said his affiliation with
the national organization
"hasn't seemed to hurt" his
own campaign.
Scott was dining with wife
Jesse Rae and Cliff Blue, the
man he defeated in the June
27 primary. Blue said he was
"impressed with the way the
Democratic campaigns are
going," and commented on the
cold weather.

.Don't TMnkv Jiisf Move
By MICKEY BLACKWELL
RALEIGH The hulking giant
of a man was heading straight
toward me. So were about 10
Secret Service "agents.
"Oil, hell," I said to mvself.
"What do I do now?"
I thought I was to stay behini
the area roped off for the press.
But when a guard turns his head,
and the rope falls slack you don't
think you move.
And move I did, to within three
feet of the man.
.He was much taller and heavi
er than I had imaged. But he
moved quickly, like a grensed
pig at a Fourth cf July picnic.
I had to trot to keep up with
him . . . nnd tie 10 Secret Ser
vice agents.
Toward the crowds he moved,
rnd a sea of hands and fingers
reached out.
Pom of he People touched
him. Others shook his hand.
One ladv tried to pull the ring
off his finger.
Several times the man would
point to faces in the crowd, and
signal them out for a special
. greeting,
"I'm from Trboro," a lady
in a red coat said.
"It's nice to see you," the man
replied.
"He spoke to me," she said
with a visible dazed look on
her face.
A father had his three-year-old
daughter perched on his
shoulder.
The man stopped to speak to
the child.
"Hi there," he said.
No reply.
"Il.re let me shake jour
hand."
Tjc baby rmiled.
The man smiled.
Everyone smiled.
Everyone, that is. except the
10 Secret Service agents.
They frowred.
The man was late for his
Freech, but he was enjoying the
cheers and the smiles . . . and
the votes. ..
Finally he stopped.
"We'll see you again in Novem
ber," he promised. . .
: The crowd roared its approval.
I tried to get to the man, but
it was impossible.
Frustrated, I ran ahead and
stood directly in his path.
He ambled onward.
I thrust my hand forward. He
seemed puzzled at first, then
fmiled.
The handshake was firm; He
grasped my whole hand, not just
half of it like many people do.
It lasted a second. There was
or.e firm pump of the hand, then
he let go.
I didn't.
"Sir," I began, not knowing
what in heaven's name I was. go
ing io say. .
"How's Luci Baincs," I stam
mered. "Fine," he replied.
The agenti, were around us
new. - - .
"I'm from the University of
North Carolina at Chapel Hill," I
think I said. '
"Howdy," he said. . .
T.iat was it. The hulking giant .
cf a man left as quickly as he
had arrived, and my - exclusive
iwo-word interview with the
President of the United States
was over.

Thousands Turn
Out For Lady
ABOARD THE LADY BIRD FECIAL (AP)
"There's nothing finer than to be. in Carolina," America's
First Lady repeated amid enthusiastic Southern crowds
Wednesday. G
The sun was shining, and Mrs. Lyndon Johnson kept
smiling as she moved into her second day of proving
she and her husband love Dixieland and want its vote
in return.
"With every turn of the wheels" of her gay whistle-
stop train, Mrsr Johnson de
clared, the welcome "Gets bet-to-
more colorful, mere wonder
ful." Waving and cheering crowds
were on hand Wednesday at 7
a.m. in Durham, as 'the Lady
Bird Special started its second
day's journey south. The Presi
dent's wife said . she was flat
tered so many got up so early to
greet her.
That went for the Goldwater
fan, too. for seme of them. were
there in the chilly sunny morn
ing to root for Johnson's oppon
ent, Sen. .Barry . Goldwater.
They mustered a few boos, too.
Mrs. Johnson . pretty much
shared the sentiments . of one
sign she read aloud from the
Durham crowd: "We may be
sleepy, but. we're good Demo
crats." There was an early morning
blooper, too. Mrs. Johnson call
ed .the role of educational in
stitutions nearby the" Univer
sity of North Carolina at Chapel
Hill, and Duke University in
Durham to acknowledging
cheers from college students.
There came some shouts for at
tention, and the First Lady real
ized she had forgotten to name
North Carolina College. A bit
sheepishly, she corrected that
quickly.
One student carried a placard
which read, "We're Lady Bird
Watchers. Welcome Lady Bird."
duced Mrs. Johnson at Durham
and she told the crowd, "Any
one coming into this part of
North Carolina cannot help but
be impressed by the Research
Triangle which rests its corners
on three great educational in
stitutions." The. first lady noted that "all
North Carolinians are sharing
in the present day prosperity.
Since 1960, the average per cap
ita income of North Carolinians
has gone up $245, and that is
$13 more than the national av
erage." At Burlington, Mrs. Mary
Scott, wife of the late Gov., and
U.S. Sen. W. Kerr Scott, told
Lady Bird and her daughter,
"We're going all the way for
L.B.J."
CAC Approves
Student Fee
Hike Of $5
The Carolina Athletic Coun
cil voted Tuesday night to in
crease athletic fees by $5 for
each student at the Univer
sity, but final approval for the
measure is up to Student Legis
lature. In recommending the in
crease, the council cited figures
showing a deficit in the Ath
letic Department for the past
four years.
Overall losses of the depart
ment for 'the past six years
have amounted to $182,484.
Costs for operation and need
ed expansion of facilities have
dwindled the, half-million dol
lar reserve- of five years ago
to $18,197.
The council reported- that
the average athletic fee paid
by a student attending an At
lantic Coast Conference school
is $18.57, while UNC students
pay only $10.
Student Body President Bob
Spearman, a member of the
council, will have a bill intro
duced to the legislature calling
for the increase.
"The statistics clearly show
that an increase is necessary,"
Spearman said.
Police Seek
Wallet Thief
Chapel Hill police were
searching yesterday for a man
who stole a wallet containing
$25 from Wilson Hall.
Mrs. James Porter, a UNC
graduate student, saw the thief
when she entered her third
floor study cubicle about noon
yesterday. She found her wal
let missing from the room after
the man fled.
Police said several persons
saw the man running from the
building. They described him
as a Negro of medium height
and build. He had a goatee and
mustache and wore a green
sport coat, witnesses said.
