The purpose of the recep tions according to IFC Presi dent Lindsay Freeman is "to better acquaint freshmen with the fraternity system at Car olina." Freshmen on campus will be divided into six groups of 300. each to attend one of the re ceptions. Two will be held in Graham Memorial and four in Chase Hall. The full schedule of the re ceptions will be published with in a few days. Freeman said, "For the first time since the 'strict silence' rule was put into effect, all the freshman will have a chance to meet fraternity men on campus before the begin ning of formal rush. , "The receptions will acquaint the freshmen with the frater nities in general and not with any specific fraternity." Five members from each fraternity will be present at each reception. They will wear name tags but these will not include the name of their fra ternity. Each representative may tell the freshmen which fraternity he is in but is expected not to talk about "his" fraternity in particular. The representa tives from the different fra ternities will be mixed so that no fraternity can momopolize a freshman at any time during the reception.

Beat Dook Post Cards Selling rne bopnomore Class is sponsoring a 'Beat Dook' post card project this week, Ben White, class president an nounced yesterday. The project will be similar to the one sponsored last year by the Freshman class. For each contribution of 25 cents, three post cards will be sent to different Dook stu dents, with the above cartoon on the back of the card. Anyone who has friends at tending Dook, may designate that the cards he purchases be sent to them. White said that at the pur chase price of 25 cents for three cards, the class will be making a very small profit. Cards are now on sale at all fraternities, sororities, and dormitories. A booth will be set up in Y - Court Wednesday and Thursday for sale of the post cards. Last year's sale fell short in that not enough cards were sold to reach every student at Dook.

This weekend will see the 30 Canadians U.S. 9 Canadian Officials At Toronto Ex Seminar By HUNTER GEORGE DTH Staff Writer A U.S. State Department of ficial and a Canadian diplo mat will discuss Canadian American relations Friday at a Toronto Exchange seminar that is open to the public. W. Frank Stone, Economic Counsellor at the Canadian Embassy in Washington, and Charles A. Kiselyak, from the 'office for Relations With Ca nada, Washington j D. C, will be the featured speakers at the discussion meeting, which begins at 1 p.m. in the Facul ty Lounge of Morehead Plani tarium. Stone has been connected with the Canadian Govern ment's Department of Exter nal Affairs since 1949, during which time he has served at the Canadian Embassy in Bonn, Germany, and on the Ca nadian Permanent Mission in Geneva, Switzerland. Kiselyak, after serving as U.S. Consul in Dusseldorf, Ger many, from 1955 - 58, became First Secretary of the Amen can Embassv in Ottawa until 1965, when he joined the Of fice of Canadian Affairs in Washington.

And finally, lest the Cana Georgia Voters Call For Special Election ATLANTA, Ga.(AP) Geor gia's political thicket multi plied again Tuesday with a move for a court-ordered spe cial election that would throw open the winless governor's race to all comers. The request for an entirely new election by a voter group further complicated the no-majority, legally tangled deadlock between Republican Howard H. (Bo) Callaway and Demo crat Lester G. Maddox. The latest and certainly not the last legal move dial- l i ii -j.; lenged another citizens group that has asked for a runoff lim ited to the two nominees. This would thwart supporters of El lis G. Arnall, whose write-in votes denied either nominee a required majority. A two-man runoff under court order would result in "nomination by a court of the United States," claimed the new motion for a special elec tion. The motion was filed on behalf of several voters who prior to the Nov. 8 election won a ruling allowing wider latitude in voter assistance. The latest development pre sents the three-judge panel with three separate requests: 1. Allow election of a gover nor by the legislature but only after a full reapportionment. 2. Order a runoff between Mad dox and Callaway. 3. Order a special election open to any one. The judges indicated clearly at a hearing last Friday that they would strike down the Georgia Constitution's proviso for election by the legislature when no candidate receives a majority. The decision is ex pected before the end of the week. In still another development, attorneys for Write-In, Geor gia, the organization behind Arnall's shadow candidacy, asked the court for permission to intervene in the two law suits already in the legal mill. Attorney Charles Morgan Jr., who went into court two days after the election to bar election by the present legisla ture, filed Tuesday's motion for a special election. Morgan is a member of the American Civil Liberties Union (SCLU). In his motion, Morgan asked for an injunction ordering Sec retary of State Ben. W. Fort son Jr. to call a special elec tion under conditions set down by the state elections code. Morgan's argument is that Atty. Gen. Arthur K. Bolton, prior to the Nov. 8 voting, ren- . 4 f r .:; t -, 1 coming to Chapel Hill for a four-day merry-go-round of seminars, parties and discussions with the UNC Exchange members. dians overlook the sporting side of Southerners, an inter national football game (under Canadian rules) has been sche duled for 3:30 Monday in Polk Place. If nothing else, this event promises a good chance to meet the Canadian girls. dered an opinion that a no majority result would be thrown into the legislature. Therefore, Morgan contends, the election "was held under a total misapprehension on the part of voters of what, in fact, the law was." A runoff that prohibits write in votes, the attorney said, would deprive voters of their right to reject both party nom inees, to vote for whomever' they please by write-in and would "result in this court's selecting the persons for whom ai i r -i .1 the people of Georgia might vote."

Federal Bureaus Deny Forcing Birth Control WASHINGTON, (AP) Two Federal agencies denied Tues day coercing the poor to prac tice birth control. They were responding to a sharply worded statement is sued last night by the Nation al Conference of Catholic Bi shops. The American Hierar chy accused the Johnson ad ministration of putting pres sure on the underprivileged -to practice contraception. The bishops also asserted that a letter they sent to Anti Poverty Director Sargent Shri ver, challenging constitution ality of federal birth control activities, had gone unanswer ed. Shriver issued a statement that every community receiv ing grants from his office of economic opportunity is for bidden "to make participation in an OEO - financed family planning program a require ment before a poor person can obtain any other benefit or service." "Every participant in an OEO-financed family planning project must be a voluntary recipient of the service," he said. "Coercion or compulsion is specifically forbidden." The Health, Education and Welfare Department said it has a policy of no coercion in helping states and communi OiDe: JI WASHINGTON (AP) -President Johnsson tended to last miriute White House business yesterday and said he "feels good" on the eve of his sec ond operation within 14 months. Johnson's day ended in a third-floor suite at Bethesda Naval Hospital in suburban Maryland. There, early today, surgeons will remove a small growth from his thraot and re pair a defect in the scar left by his gall bladder operation. At the White House, Johnson conferred with his doctors, dealt with the last of the bills sent him by the 89th Congress, and discussed foreign affairs at a working luncheon with his top advisors. A team of surgeons and spe cialists who will take part in today's operation talked with Johnson, then went to the sky scraper hospital for what Moy ers called "a verbal run through" of the surgery. Dr. George A. Hallenbeck of the Mayo Clinic in Roches ter, Minn., will be the princi pal surgeon, as he was on Oct. 8, 1965, when Johnson's gall bladder and a uretal stone were removed. At least seven physicians, including two throat special ists and a heart expert, will be on hand in the operating room. Johnson suffered a heart at tack 11 years ago. Mrs. Luci Nugent flew to Washington from her Austin, Tex., home to join sister Lynda Bird and Mrs. Johnson at the President's side in the hours before the surgery. . The surgeons will do their work on these presidential ail .ments: A tiny polyp near the President's right vocal cord. First discovered in August; it has caused him some hoarse ness. Dr. Wilbur J. Gould, one of Johnson's throat specialists, said such a growth generally is not malignant, but the polyp will be analyzed. A defect in the gall blad der scar, on the right side of Johnson's abdomen.

"And if a state or communi ty elects to provide such ser vices, the department will not provide financial support un less the services guarantee both freedom from coercion and the freedom to choose among all alternative methods of family planning," it said. Shriver's office said a search was being made to find whe ther there is any record of the receipt of a letter from the bishops. William H. Draper Jr., na tional chairman of the Popu lation Crisis Committee, a pri vate group said he agreed with the bishops that no one should be coerced. His state ment added: "Some day, however, "I would hope that 'freedom from external coercion which the bishops so properly espouse for the family, "would also be applied by the Catholic Church itself and that when Pope Paul VI finally decides the birth control issue, the question of whether to practice birth con trol, as well as the methods to be used, would be left to the conscientious decision of each Catholic couple. Then in deed will freedom from exter nal coercion have been achieved." rations Toda It has caused Johnson some discomfort and led him to wear a back brace to ease strain on his abdomen. Dr. George G. Burkley, the White House physician, said the pro trusion enlarged during John son's rigorous journey to the Far East, to silver-dollar size. Johnson has said the opera tion should take less than an hour, and keep him in the hos pital for a very few days. - - '' i i - ' I X 1 ' i Otelia 'Big Mama' Connor Smiles o .

"I came to Chapel Hill in 1957, to see my son graduate. It was then I realized some thing had to be done about students' manners." "I think everyone knew something had to be done, but nobody was doing anything. So I appointed myself 'Unof ficial Manners Minder.' "First I started whackin', then I started writing to reach as many students as possible. "The University doesn't pay me," she chuckled, settling back into an attic chair in her one - room efficiency apartment. "That's why I can get away with what I do." "The Daily Tar Heel asked me to do a column, but I turned them down. I only write when I have something to say." She pointed to a stack of boxes in the corner contain ing stories written by and about her. Her Franklin Street apart ment is not grandmotherly. There are no knitting baskets, ceramic dolls, or bird prints. An Indian tapestry covers her bed, and the wall above is covered with framed news clippings and Daily Tar Heel cartoons. She pointed to one: "Otelia Advocates Free Love" and laughed, saying, "Isn't that a terrible caricature?" Oriental umbrellas hang from two doorknobs. They were given to her by a man ufacturer who heard of her ability to wield an umbrella, "to introduce on campus." "I don't remember ever hit ting anyone with my umbrel la," she says.

I told one to take his elbows off the table or I'd whack him. The other one told me I'd have to fight him too. "I just reared back and said, 'Come on, I'll take you both on.' "The world expects good manners of a college gradu ate. Students realize this, and I don't think they resent me. If they did I couldn't keep it up. "A law student took me to dinner on my birthday (Oct. 29). They had a big cake that read: 'Happy 39th Birthday, Otelia.' When the other stu dents heard about it they ask ed me why I hadn't invited them. I told them I couldn't invite 13,000 people." She pointed to one of the framed pictures. "That's me, doing the twist at a student combo party. One boy asked me to dance and they all gathered around to watch. "Of course, I couldn't do much. "Later all the boys put their arms around me, and hugged me, and told me they loved me. "They had all been drink ing beer and whiskey or they couldn't have afforded to say those things.
