Guard Watches 'F Riot SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Rifle-armed National Guards men, under orders to "shoot to kill" if attacked, kept an un easy peace today in riot-torn Jegro areas of San Francis co. A heat wave, in which the .violence first exploded Tues day after a white policemen shot and killed a Negro youth, persisted in its third searing iday. . Police and military forces maintained quiet and order in the Bay - bordering Hunters Point and inland Fillmore Ne gro districts through Wednes day night after one brief but . fierce outbreak by snipers and rioters. It was quickly quelled. Negro unemployment, which Mayor John F. Shelley called, the chief reason for the dis orders, drew quick official at tention all the way to the White louse. These steps against the ap parent core motive for the Ne gro violence, plus the firm po lice and military action, rais ed hopes that the rioting may have run its course. "The test is whether we have a quiet night tonight," said Maj. Gen. Paul R. Teilh, Field Commander of the Guard Forces, yesterday. "If we do, the Guard will leave tomorrow morning." '' Mayor Shelley sent a ferv ent plea to President Johnson Wednesday night for federal funds to attack the "critical unemployment situation" in the Negro areas. "I plead in the name of God and human decency for im mediate emergency funds to "assuage this situation," Shel ley declared. : President Johnson respond ed by ordering White House Assistant Joseph A. Califano to work on Shelley's request with Labor Secretary W. W i 1 1 a r d Wirtz and Sargent Shriver, Di rector of the Office of Econo mic Opportunity. The Labor Department esti mated San Francisco's unem ployment rate at 5 per cent. The August rate for the nat ional civilian labor force was 3.9 per cent. The jobless rate for Negro males in the five county area is triple the white rate and double for -Negro women. v Hall.

(DTH Photo by Charles Lee) The commission, which met here Monday and Tuesday, is in the process of approving drafts of the report which Moore will present to the next session of the General Assem bly in February. The purpose of the commission-is to study the Board-of Trustees with respect to its number, selection, terms of of fice, and its interrelationship Scene Nine young Negro men were wounded by police shotgun fire in the fierce flare of violence Wednesday on Third Street near the Bayview Commun ity Center. Most were leg wounds and none was serious. The police fired shotgun blasts into the building after fire bombs were hurled from its windows into the street and snipers fired at a police car. One officer was hit in the face by a flying bottle. He suffered a fractured nose. Through the night 135 per sons were arrested by police patrols in the Hunters Point and Fillmore districts. Eigh ty were charged with violat ing the tightly enforced 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew in the closed off Negro areas. Twenty - six were charged with riot or in citing to riot. The arrest total in two nights of disorder reached 181. All high school football games for the week were call ed off in a move to avert any clash between white and Ne gro youths.

Hodges said that one of the main items of study by the commission has been propos als to reduce the number of trustees. The board now num bers 100 and is chosenc by the General' Assembly in groups of 25 bi-annually. Several educators have tes tified before the commission, saying the 100 - member board is too large to be effective and should number 25 or less. Others have suggested that some trustees be chosen in ways other than legislative appointment and that incum bent legislators be ineligible for board membership. It also has been suggested that the governor no longer serve as board chairman of the trustees. Hodges said, "The members of the commission will be con ferring by phone and letter during the next several weeks and we may call another for mal meeting.

Go IF By PEYTIE FEARRINGTON DTH Staff Writer It seems that there's no place for femininity at the Michigan or Notre Dame games. The female cheer leaders have been banned. The wrangling started when cheerleader Winborne Shaffer got to fly to the Notre Dame game last year. The women cheerleaders never got over it. This year, though there's no room on the plane for the girls to take to the North. They will .Resign By DON CAMPBELL DTH Staff Writer Four UNC Spanish profess ors, led by Dr. John E. Keller, have resigned from the faculty and will go to the University of Kentucky to "build" a Span ish department there In all, eight full time pro fessors have resigned from the Romance Language dep artment within the past two years. The other three professors, besides Dr. Keller are Dr. Wil liam C. McCrary, Dr, Joseph Jones, and Dr. Daniel Reedy, all of whose resignations be come effective next August 31. In addition to these four, Dr. Kessel Schwartz, a visiting Campus Mousin By BILL AMLONG DTH News Editor The campus NAACP will soon present top University of ficials with evidence of d i s criminatory housing practices here, the group's president said. "There is discrimination in housing and the University supports it," said James Co field, the UNC chapter's presi dent. Consolidated .University. Pre- sident William C. Friday, how ever, denied the charges. "The University does not engage in discriminatior against any race," Friday said Klan's Booth Um-Eair? RALEIGH (AP)- The presi dent of the North Carolina Association for the Advance ment of Colored People today said he has urged Negroes to stay away from the state fair because the Ku Klux Klan has rented booth space for the event. Kelly M. Alexander of Char lotte said he would not term the action a boycott, but that he was asking the Negroes not to attend. "We consider the Klan's ac tion a sophisticated insult to. the Negro people of the state," Alexander added. "And for that reason .we're asking them to stay away from the fair." J. Robert Jones, Grand Dragon of the Klan in North Carolina, rented the space from fair Manager Auther Pitzer Tuesday. The booth will be situated on one of the main walkways near Dorton Arena. Jones said it will be a Derman- ent type structure which can be removed and taken to other fairs. Alexander said his office had received much reaction over the Klan's action and for this reason he was asking Negroes to stay away. eit J be shipped on a bus to Geor gia and Clemson, but our re-bel-yellirig, Southern lovelies will just have to forget Yankee - land. Chuck Ericson, director of athletics, explains, "It's just standard policy. There have never been women on the flights. "When the band goes, they go, but you just don't take a couple of women into battle with you. "Anyway, we leave about 25 players in Chapel Hill every time we fly." When asked why Shaffer was allowed to go to Notre professor from the Univer sity of Miami, has also resign ed. Dr. Schwartz came here in July and his resignation be comes effective next June. Dr. Keller released the foll owing statement to the Daily Tar Heel yesterday: . "I have regretfully, after some twenty years in the De partment of Romance Lang uages here, decided to accept the opportunities offered me at the University of Kentucky in Lexington. . . . "Fiscal improvement and the challenge of chairing the Department of Spanish and Italian, together with chance to develop new curricula in my capacity 0 f Associate Dean of the College of Arts 'P Pm testis Both he and Chancellor J. Carlyle Sitterson said thougt that they knew nothing of Co ; field's charges. "I have no comment on it until I receive the informa tion," Sitterson said. "But if the evidence of such discrimination is brought to us, we will certainly look into it immediately."- H o xl & i ji g Director James Wadsworth also denied the charges, saying "there's defi nitely no discimination in the housing office of the Univer sity" "If anything," Wadsworth said, "we lean over backwards to give proper accomodations to non - whites." Cofield said that the hous ing discrimination also extend ed off campus. Wadsworth said, however, that this is not the province )f the University. 4tWe don't handle that," he said. Cofield, a 21 - year - old Business Administration senior from Raleigh, was elected pre sident of the Carolina chap ter of the NAACP Wednesday night the group's first meet ing of the year. He declined to elaborate on his charges of housing discrim ination by the University, but said he would unveil specific instances when he meets with Cofield 2 Hi To Cheer Dame last year, Ericson ex plained, "We had enough room on the 'plane for some of the coaches' and players' wives, so we took Winborne. When you have a 'dozen women, I guess you can handle them better." "Esthetically I'm for it," Erickson said, "but practic ally it's got to go. With 40 or 50 boys and three pretty little things, it's going to be discon certing." Ericson has some major points on his side. The girls would have to have separate rooms and chaperons would l J FCDIMl and Sciences at Kentucky have" motivated me to leave the University of North Carol ina. "My colleagues, Associate Professors William McCrary, Daniel Reedy and Joseph Jones, who will also go to the University of Kentucky, are motivated by the same rea sons of challenge." There are varied opinions given regarding the effect this mass resignation may have upon the standing of the Spanish department in the academic world. Just this summer, the UNC Spanish department was rank ed 8th in the nation, by the American Council on Educa-' tion. Sitterson at 3 p.m. Monday. Cofield said there were also other areas of racial discrim ination on campus that his group was going to investigate. "We plan to do something about it," he said. "We are not sure yet what we're going to do. We plan to investi gate." Cofield also said his group was looking into reports of in structors letting racial bias in fluence their grading oi stu " dents." " ' " -' - ' '' "It's certainly not whole sale," he. said, "but there is discrimination." Cofield declined to be speci fic about these charges, too, saying, "we feel that publici ty will hurt us in some areas." 5 Frost Tellers Chosen Kenan Stadium resounded with freshman enthusiasm yesterday as 40 girls and 20 boys competed for positions on the freshman cheering squad. Five cheerleaders and an alternate were chosen in each category by a representative committee. Those1 comprising the comm ittee were head cheerleader Dick Starnes, head girl cheer leader Judy Fleming and head , boy cheerleader Jimmy Wo mack, Bob Lewis of the Mono gram Club, representative of the Student Body President Sharon Rose, President of the Women's Athletic Association Tammy Tasker, and President of the Carolina Athletic Assoc iation Bob On. Oo-olclixration, appearance, and enthusiasm were the de ciding factors in the selection. The new freshman squad will work with the varsity squad, and will cheer at all freshman games. It hasn't been decided yet whether a head freshman cheerleader will be elected or appointed by Dick Starnes. have to be provided. Maureen Shannon, a senior cheerleader with three years on the squad, wants to go any way. "It's the boys that need the chaperoning. What do they think we're going to do? We , represent the University, and anyway, it's the little things that count. "Any little thing that we can do to let the team know that somebody's there is reasurr ing to the boys," said Win borne Shaffer, last year's Notre Dame veteran. Dick Starnes, captain of the o nrnver Dr. Jacques Hardre, chair man of the Romance Lang uage Department, made this comment about the resigna tions: "It is one of the facts of academic life that depart ments in other schools are al ways trying to raid our de partment of faculty members. Naturally it will create a hole." "But", he said, "we will fill the hole by next fall. We will fill the hole by recruiting can didates which will be inter viewed in New York this fall." "A challenge was offered to Dr. Keller to create and build a -new program at Kentucky. It's a very interesting chall enge," Hardre said. Asked about the effects on UNC's rating in this depart ment, Hardre replied, "Rating is based on many things, in cluding the program offered, the size of the graduate school, and publications of faculty members. "We can maintain our st anding in these fields with our new recruits, with the possi ble exception being the am ount of publication we might do." Dr. Keller has published more than any scholar in the Spanish Department. V 2- - T, . . it t m -3 r. r t- & I i V, ..... Cheerleader Hopefuls Compete At 'Home squad, had another point for the girls: "When we went to the Kentucky game last year, the absence of the girl cheer leaders had no big effect on the players, but it did on the alumni. "I can't recall any of the players wanting to know whe re the girls were, but the alumni came up after the game and said, 'Where are all the girls; what you needed was the girls.'" Starnes sees the problem as one of money. The Athletic Department allots $1,000 for the cheerleaders and the card O Dr. Schwartz, who will re turn to a lifetime tenure at Miami next June, expressed a different opinion about the resignations: "This is a troubled depart ment and has been for some time," Schwartz said. "Hav ing lost eight people from one department in two years, four of them at one time, is symp tomatic of great tension and administrative difficulty." "Dr. Keller is one of the finest medieval Spanish schol ars in the country," Schwartz continued, "His loss alone would be a tragedy." "As for me," Schwartz said, "I'm returning to my lifetime tenure at Miami; there's no way in the world I could be persuaded to remain here after next June." In addition to the recent mass resignation, there were four resignations from the Ro mance Language Department last year : Dr. R. W. Linker left here after 40 years on the faculty to go to the University of Georgia, Dr. G. L. Rizzo went from here to City Coll ege of New York, Dr. Vicente Cantarino left to go the Univ ersity of Indiana, and Pro fessor Jean Gillou left to take a position at a northern uni versity. f DTH Photo By Ernest Robl section. This year the card section bought new cards which costs $300. This leaves only $700 for the cheerleaders to operate on for the whole year. Bob Orr, student athletic director, and Starnes have worked together this year to get the Student Legislature to appropriate funds to the cheer leaders. Starnes says the complete squad has traditionally been sent to only one out-of-state game, so this year's trip to Georgia and Clemson is a tri umph in itself. vv;s 1 2 7 ' . 3 1 V.
