By DON CAMPBELL
DTH Staff Writer
Two fires, one in the Kappa
Alpha Fraternity House and
one at Kemps' Record Store,
did an estimated $140,000 dol
lars damage during the sum
mer here.
On Sunday, June 19, a fire
began in the front of the base
ment of the KA House around
4 a.m. Firemen fought the
blaze over an hour before
bringing it completely under
controL The cause of the fire
is still undetermined.
There were ten men living
in the House at the time of
the fire. None received in
juries. Burning Couch Found
The fire was discovered
when Bennett Boyles of
Greensboro and a guest enter
ed the house and smelled
smoke. They discovered a
smouldering couch in the base
ment and put it out with a
fire extinguisher. J
A few minutes later traces
of smoke were seen in other
parts of the house and the
two men were joined by sev
Registration At Woollem
By JOCK LAUTERER
DTH Staff Writer
The most amazing thing
about registration is that it
happens every year.
Each September the slick
floors of Woollen Gymnasium
are transformed into an en
campment of sign posts and
sleepy professors.
Through the seemingly sin
ister maze wander the herds
of freshmen, the product of the
future.
This year was no different.
Only, there were more fresh
man to run the gamut than
in past years. Tables lined the
lip of the dark blond floor and
a light breeze limped about in
?he rafters of the echoing
First year nurses stood in
a dazed Une before a busy

search of the house for other
sources of the smoke.
As one member put it, "Sud

smoke. We never saw a flame.
Someone ran to the Kappa
Sigma house to call the fire
department. We got the rest
of the people up and got out
of the house." '
. House Renovated
KA President Fred Genung
said yesterday that the entire
house is being renovated as a
result of the fire. The house
has been rewired, renainted,
and new doors installed 0 n
the ground and upper floors.
The basement is being en
larged at the present time
and will include a party area
and a dining room, which
has been moved down from
the first floor. The first floor
is being converted into a TV
Lounge to replace the old
dining area. The old TV
Lounge is being converted in
to a card room and library.
"Actually," Genung said.

"The fire was a blessing in
disguise. We received $24,000
from the insurance comDany
and $16,000 from the national

Second Kemp Fire
The . fire at Kemp's struck
on the hot afternoon of July.,
11. It was the second fire to
hit that building in ten weeks.
A previous fire on May 6 had
guttd the rear of Kemp's and
Court Drug Co.
The structure, known as
the H. H. Patterson Building,,

Administrative and student
officials yesterday promised a
crackdown on the distribution
of drugs on campus parti
cularly dexedrine type stimu
lants saying that this
"would not be tolerated in the
future."
The statments followed the
conviction of two students on
drus related charges in Re
corder's Court Tuesday and
the suspension of four others
in recent weeks.
"The distribution of drugs is
a. threat to the welfare of stu
dents," Men's Attorney Gen
eral Frank Hodges said yes
terday, indicating that he will
ask Student Legislature to
pass a specific measure, mak
ing the distribution of drugs
an act against the student
body.
Hodges, who said he is pre
paring a policy statement on
drugs, said Student Govern
ment is going to take "a very
strong stand" against the dis
tribution of such drugs.
Stimulant drugs taken with
out a doctpr's supervision
can cause temporary or per
manent mental damage.
Campus Security Chief. Ar
thur J. Beaumont said "Po
lice action will be taken in the
-future" on such cases.
Both Beaumont and Dean of
Student Affairs C. 0.; Cathey
said the distribution of drugs
had been taken too lightly in
the past.
"We intend to be alert
about this in the future" Ca
they said.
When asked what specific

Quiet Revolution
Noted By Powe
By LYTT STAMPS
DTH Staff Writer
Student Body President Bob
Powell told freshmen and
transfer students Tuesday
night about student govern
ment's "quiet revolution" and
what it could do for them.
"You face new anxieties
here that I think are unfortu
nate, but which can be stop
ped if all of us recognize
them honestly as harmful to
the educational process," Po
well said.
Challenging freshmen s to
become active in student gov
ernment, he said, "Stud
ent government was founded
here to allow us to enjoy free
dom, and to help us to learn
the responsibility of self - gov
ernment." Powell outlined problems
most students face which he
thinks can be solved through'
student government:
"Whether it be frustration of
drop-add, the hectic pace of
orientation week in which
you are not really a person,
but a number assigned to a
group, whether it be your ini
,Eal disappbintment at taking
a seat in a 300 man lecture
class Thursday and finding
yourself lost in a sea of other
freshmen in the class, or
whether, you, like all of us,
too often find your professor
or your advisor just too busy
to talk with you when it is
extremely urgent to you.
"In one way or another, you
will often ask the question
'Who has time to be concern
ed with my individual devel
opment?' "These are some of the
problems you will face. It is
student government which
must move to help the indi
vidual," he said.
Powell then outlined what
he called "myths about educa
tion in Chapel Hill:" .
wo
corder's court Tuesday for the
distribution of dexedrine and
ambar on campus.
Charles Templeton. 21, of
Newell, was fined $200 and
court costs for unlawful de
livery of the stimulants. Tem
pleton was suspended from the
GOOD GRADES motivate
study Powell said this is a
myth because many extra
curricular activities are func
tioning well without the par
ticipants being graded.
EDUCATION must be pre
packaged, with the individual
having little to say about his
course of study. Powell call
ed for more individual study
in which the student either
by himself or in small groups,
could explore fields he is in
terested in.
"The curriculum is often
somewhat like a fill-the-blank-with-the-r'ight-color
painting.
Curriculum should be more
individually oriented," he said.
ABSTRACT THEORY is the
test of the individual who is
educated "Theories all too
often don't relate to life,"
Powell said. "One of the rea
sons there are so many col
lege drop-outs is that the
courses are not relevant to
life."
Powell pledged his admini
stration to promote relevance
of the course offered to real
life. " "-
He also pledged his admini
stration to solving the every
day problems of student life:
Parking, improving the resi
dence college system, curving
the inflation of Chapel Hill
prices and improving the Un
iversity's image in the state.
"Students here have a voice
in their government," he said,
"but it is not a right we are
exercising. The privileges we
exercise in Student Govern
ment is a carrier of a quiet
revolution of the education in
the United States. It must
make education more humane,
more meaningful to us a s
students.
"You have to be the carrier
of this change."

University by a faculty - ad
ministrative council convened
by Cathey with the recom
mendation that he never be
readmitted.
David Herring, also 21, of
Wilmington, served as a wit
ness for the state and had an
unlawful possession charge re
duced to forcible trespass. Her
ring, who was also suspended,
was fined $50 and court costs.
The names of four other stu
dents suspended by the Uni
versity were not released since
no criminal charges were
brought against them.
One source indicated that
the number of students invol
ved in the dexedrine case was
"about a dozen" and noted
that further University discio
linary action may be taken in
the near future.
The six students suspended
by the Universitv so far were
tried before a three member
facultv administrative coun
cil, which called in the heads
of the School of Pharmacy
and the Student Health Serv
ice as expert witnesses.
Dexedrine is part of the
amphetamine drug group
which also includes dexomil.
The drugs, normally prescrib
ed for overeating and exhaus
tion, ?ct as stimulants and
are taken by students to stay
awake while cramming for
exams and quizzes or fin
ishing last minute term pap
ers. Doctors report that the im
proper use of these drugs can
have a "damaging effect"
emotionally and could also
cause brain damage.
The pills being sold on cam
pus had been obtained from a
number of sources including a
UNC pharmacy student not
enrolled here at the time.
Chapel Hill Detective A. H.
Summey said that the pills
had been sold "to at least four
people in large amounts."
By the time Chapel Hill Po
lice came into the case, only
one pill could be seized: ail
others had been destroyed or
sold.
According to Summev, Tem
pleton had obtained the pill
"out of town and brought
them back on campus to sell."
Tmoleton reportedly asked
Herring to sell the pills for
him because he was afraid
that hs girl friend might re
port him if he tried to sell
them himself.
Most of the pills were sole
for about 50 cents each.
