. GREENSBORO She was a nrettv girl, a voun?
girl, a girl whose hands did not bear the callouses that
seem to come with working in textile mills.
The large poster hanging around her neck rjro
claimed in red and black magic-marker letters: "We
have come to bury Caesar, not to praise him."
She was one of the 65 or so Carolina students who
solicited bv a union to assist some 5,000 textile work
ers in shutting down seven of Caesar Cone's textile
mills for three days.
And for three hours Sunday night these students
along with others from UNC-G, Duke University and
Guilford College walked on a picket line with Cone
Cone of refusing to bargain with their union.
The students left Carolina about 5:30 p.m. Sunday
from Y-Court where they got their picket signs.
"Be sure and bring the signs back here by 12:30
tomorrow," Ann Schunior told the bunch. "The ones
going over to picket then will need them."
About an hour-and-a-half later the students ar
rived at the Textile Workers' union hall at 402 State
St. in Greensboro. The union hall is about the size of

The Dukes have a style

a large classroom.
Sunday night it was so packed with workers, union
organizers, students and cigarette smoke that all four
spilled out onto the sidewalk.
BEHIND A wooden table at the front of the hall
stood 24-year-old Cecil Butler, a union staff member
who was arrested later that night and again Monday
during the picketing.
Butler stood in the glare of the television flood
lights and told the packed hall that "tonight makes
me think of an old Negro spiritual, and it goes like
this: 'Ain't Nobody Gonna Turn Me Around.' "
Then the southern director for the Textile Workers
Union of America stood up. He is Scott Hoyman and
has chiseled features and looks more natural with his
shirt sleeves rolled up.
"I want to welcome some friends," he said, "these
students who have come here to help us. This is one
more thing we can use as a lever to get what we
want."
Then Hoyman, who has run quite a few strikes in
his time, started talking about just how the strike
would work.
"I think the time for talking is past," he said.

Mrs. Graham Ramsey,

Miss Rehder
Services Set
On Wednesday
A memorial service for the
late Jesse Rehder will be held
Wednesday at 1 p.m. at the
Holy Trinity Lutheran Church
on Rosemary St. Miss Rehder
died at her Chapel Hill home
last Friday.
At the beginning of the Me
morial Service, a bell at South
Building will ring. This bell will
indicate a time of meditation
for everyone. Services are
planned to be completed by
1:30 p.m
It is the wish of the family
friends that any memorial do
nations be made to the Jesse
Rehder Literary Prize Fund.
Memorial donations may be
left with the secretary in the
English Office at 114 Bingham
Hall.
Funeral services were held
for Miss Rehder at St. Paul's
Lutheran Church in Wilming
ton, N. C, at 3 p.m. Sunday.
Survivors include three bro
thers: Henry, Stanley, and
William Rehder, and several
nieces and nephews, all of
Wilmington.
Miss Rehder edited The Tat
ler, a literary magazine, at
Macon Woman's College,
where she was a member of
Zeta Tau Alpha sorority. Af
ter receiving a master's de
gree from Columbia Univer
sity, she was a free lance writ
er in New York City for six
years.
She taught courses in mod
ern fiction at UNC, and was a
member of the Valkyries, wo
men's honorary organization.
Her most recent work is
entitled Chapel Hill Carousel,
which will be released by the
UNC Press in March. Miss
Rehder edited the book, which
grew out of the creative writ
ing program. She was working
with Wallace Kaufman of the
English Department on the
book for advanced freshman
students.
' -. It's time to do something about it now."
And what Hoyman wants to get something done
about is a five per cent wage increase, company col
lection of union dues, a pension increase and other
benefit improvements.
To do this, he told the people, a strike is necessarv

we possibly can during the next three days."
THEN THE strike vote was called for. It passed
by a wide majority. One of the dissenters said the only
reason he voted against it was because he didn't
think it would hurt the mills enought at this time.
Next another union man got up at the front of the
room.

Let's talk. Let's shout. Let's

Still another union man got up at the front of the
room and addressed himself, for a while, to the stu
dents. "I hope you students will benefit from the things
you'll learn on this picket line during the next two or
three days ...

U. S. Senator Jacob Javits
said here Monday night that if
progressive - minded Souther
ners and progressive KepuDii
cans join forces, the South
can become a two-party reg
gion again within a decade.
Javits, R.-N. Y., told a
large audience in Memorial
Auditorium that a "merger"
would be beneficial to all con
cerned. ' -
"I feel that if Republicans
in the South build on the
strengths of the new tide of
Southern progress. . . . there
will be viable and effective
two - party system in all the
Southern states within a dec
ade," he said.
The senator added, however,
that if Republicans try to
"out segregate the segrega
tionists" the two - party sys
tem is doomed.
He said it would be "fool
hardy not to mention im
moral" for Republicanism
to become heir to the "re
actionary" politics of the "dy
ing Democratic order."
Democratic Party rule, ac
cording to Javits, has produc
ed in the South a sense of "po-

Larry McDevitt is temporar
ily filling in for Assistant Dean
of Men Bob Kepner, who was
drafted last month.
The second year law student
is acting only on- a part -time
basis, however. There
will be no permanent replace
ment for Kepner at least un
til the first of June.
McDevitt, a 1964 graduate
from UNC, worked in this po
sition full time in the academ
ic year 1964-65.
Private Kepner, Fort Ben
ning, Ga., was in charge of
traffic control, the fraterni
ty sytem and the orientation
program.
McDevitt is taking over the
fraternity relations during
most of the four to six hours
a day he is in 02 South Build
ing. The parking and traffic con
trols problems have been turn
ed over to Alonzo Squires.
Since there will be no more
orientation programs coming
up until next fall, that prob
lem will be left to the new
assistant dean when he is se
lected. Besides McDevitt's experi
ence : in the Dean's office, he
is further interested in the fra
ternity system since he serv
ed as vice president and
pledge trainer of Beta Theta
Pi fraternity in his senior year
of undergraduate school.
Administrative duties are a
family affair for McDevitt. His
wife, Dershie, serves in the
corresponding capacity in the

He also called upon progres
sive Republicans to ally them
selves with Negro voters.
"It is my belief that most
Southerners want to consign
the racists and their doctrine
to the oblivion they deserve,
and get on with the task of
providing equal opportunity to
all citizens, "ne said.
Citing rising voter registra
tion figures for Negroes in
Southern states, Javits said
that "increasing spphistica

it mandatory that Republican
leaders provide "positive,

Interest In
A platform reviewing com

Student Government doing
was announced at the Student
Party meeting Sunday night.
Party chairman Bob Travis
said the committiee will visit
residence halls, fraternities
and sororities to ask each stu
dent who is interested what
they need and want, and to an
swer questions about the par
ty and student government.
George Krichbaum, speaker
pro tempore of Student Legis
lature, will chair the commit
"This will show Mr. Cone that he does not have
only the workers to deal with but that he has the
entire community."
The meeting broke up then. It was time to start
the picketing.
And as the workers and students filed out one by
one, a 28-year-old UNC graduate instructor, Dan
Knighton, was saying why he thought students should
be involved.
"Certainlv thev're people." he said, "and most of
them are North Carolinians and it's going to affect
them.
"At first I was kind of against it," said Knighton,
who used to work for the T.W.U.. before returning to
school.
"This isn't a lark and students sometimes get a
little over-exuberant. But now, since it's being well
directed, I think the students can help."
ACROSS THE street from the Union Hall stood
Vernon H. Garner of Reidsville, dressed in the full
helmet-and-boots regalia of a second lieutenant in the
Ku Klux Klan's security guard.

class, the newly enfranchis

Javits also criticised .his

paign. "I say it was misnamed be

in all sections of the country
in an attempt to replace a
dying Democratic order."
Javits, whose appearance
was sponsored by the Carolina
Forum, said his party no long
er would be content with say
ing "no" to Democratic par
ty proposals.
Instead, it would active
ly search for alternative so
lutions to problems that in
volve all layers of govern
ment and private enterprise,
he said.
Projecting a "new image"
of Republicanism, the senator
said the Republican Party can
become the majority party in
the country again if it adopts
progressive leanings.
"To do this, we need the
South," he said.
