Strangulation
RALEIGH (AP) An autop
sy shows a North Carolina
State University student found
dead in his dormitory room
Tuesday died of strangulation.
An inquest will be held to de
termine whether it was sui
cide. Asst. Wake County Cor
oner Turman Rhodes revealed
the finding of the a u t o p s y
Wednesday and theorized that
the death was a suicide.
Raymond P. McCauley, 19,
a sophomore from Charlotte,
was found by his roommate.
He was lying on the floor
bound and gagged with an ex
tension cord looped tightly
around his neck. The .door
was locked.
"We're working on that the
ory," said Rhodes when asked
if he considered the death a
suicide.
Rhodes said he thought Mc
Cauley "just tied himself up'
He added, "There's nothing in
the world to show anybody
else did it."
Also expressing the opinion
that it was a case of suicide
was Raleigh Det. IA. R. A.
Liles.
Despite the indications of
suicide, Rhodes said he plans
to hold an inquest in the case.
It will be held either Friday
or the first of next week "as
soon as the detectives get
through their checking."
The youth's roommate, Tim
othy Britt of Tarrboro, found
the body when he returned to
his room in Sullivan Dormi
tory after lunch Sunday.
Rhodes said the extension Long, Kepner becomes the hero of Dicken's A Christ
cord, with slip knots m ei- 'niuniriAAcA-
ther end, extended from Mc
Cauley 's neck down his tack
to his ankles. He added that a
cloth had been stuffed in the
youth's mouth and a sock
was tied around his face to
keep the gag in place. His
hands were tied in front of
him with strings from a pair
of tennis shoes.
Ban Ballad
Spins Away
Chapel Hill's own protest
song, "The Speaker Ban Bal
lad," is in its second ,week
of public release, and, sales
are going well, according to.
UNC student Bill Dale. Dale is
singly responsible for the pro
duction of the 45 r.p.m. rec
ord, which is available in
Chapel Hill at the Record
Bar.
In addition to writing 'The
Speaker Ban Ballad," Dale
also sings both songs on the
release and personally fi
nanced the recording. He es
timates that he has spent
around $225 making the rec
ord. "I don't expect to make a
profit, and, in fact, I will
have to sell all the copies
that have been pressed (500)
to break even," he said.
Dale started writing "The
Speaker Ban Ballad," 1 a s t
spring, but just finished it
this fall. Deciding to record
it, he took the song to Jimmy
Capps Productions, of Ha
leigh, who are now distribut
ing it to various radio sta
tions in North Carolina.
"I decided to make the rec
ord," Dale said, "because I
knew the court case was com
ing up. And even now, I don't
think the . issue is dead.
I'd like for people to take
it home and play for their
parents, especially if the
parents are for the speaker
ban. Even though I hesitate to
say that a song could influ
ence legislation, I think it
could do so indirectly, by
arousing public opinion.
Dale has not decided wheth
er he is going to cut any
more records. "It will de
pend on how this one goes.
It's an avocation, not a po
tential career."
"I would be glad," he con
tinued, "to sing it at any time
for any group, just for the
sake of publicizing it."

By STEVE KNOWLTON
DTH Staff Writer
"Cratchit ! Cratchit ! Bob, come out here."
During 11 1-2 months of every year, the Bob in
question is named Kepner, Assistant to the Dean of
Men down in 02 South Building. ,
This week, however, according to Dean Santa Claus
t-UO uuut v iiw Lilian J 1UUCU
Long, Kepner and Fred Schroeder are helping the
secretaries decorate a Christmas tree and discussing
the re - run of "Charlie Brown's Christmas."
Silver bells, which used to be paper cups and so
much tin foil, hang, everywhere and everyone hums
as he comes and goes around the office.
There is a large "HO" over each of the three doors
in a line that lead to Long's and his assistants' of
fices. Student Body President Bob Powell came in and
suggested that the HO, HO, HO be changed to HO,
CHI and MINH.
Long disappeared into HO No. 1, but came out in
a moment, face bright with inspiration. "Sue, there's
no angel on top of the tree." A messenger was dis
patched across the hall to pilfer the angel from the
graduate school's office, but their tree doesn't have
one either.
The secretaries set about to make one, amid ring
ing phones and students, trying to look dignified, who
kept wandering in and out.
The head is a gold ball, with tinsel for hair and
magic marker for features. The body used to be a
plain piece of paper and the wings are crepe paper.
The halo is still in the problem stage.
Another visitor came in on some sort of official busi
ness. Long pointed, to a hearing pipe like all basement
offices have. This one is now decorated with red and
green crepe paper.
"See that pol,e" Long said with a twinkle. "We stole
it from the Beta's and laid it on its side. I feel it adds
to the general spirit of Christmas, don't you?"
Plastic mistletoe hangs from Long's door. "It's
too bad everyone knows its plastic. It doesn't work,"
he said directing a wink in the general direction of the
angel - making team of secretaries.
"Sorry about that, Chief," was the only reply.
The reporter was finally noticed among the tinsel
and bulbs. "Hey, you're from the Tar Heel. Here you
come down expecting something dignified and profound
from 02 South, and all you find is a bunch of people
decorating a Christmas tree and singing. Sorry about
that," said The Dean.
"I guess we're all just a bit punchy," said Schroed
er. "God bless us every one," said Tiny Bob.

The Death Penalty
Chapel Hill playwright Paul
Green is one of several North
Carolinians involved in plans
to form an organization in this
state to oppose capital punish
ment. "I'm against killing people,
whether in the electric chair j
or in Vietnam," Green said
yesterday. ;
Green and several other per
sons-are meeting in High
Point January 21 to discuss
capital punishment in this
state.
If enough interest is shown,
Green said, an official organ
ization will be formed to op
pose capital punishment.
"We need to raise money,"
he said. "It costs money to
hire lawyers to defend prison
ers on death row."
Green said there are a great
number of people in North
Carolina that are opposed to
capital punishment.
'Green said there are many
judges in the High Point area,
plus ministers at , Duke Uni- '
versity Divinity School and in
the Raleigh area who are in
terested in forming the or
ganization. Green's participation in this
project is nothing new to him.
"I've been helping people
sentenced to death for 30 to
40 years," he said.
"We saved two on death
row in Raleigh's State Prison
just recently," he noted. ("One

Sends 8000
Over 8,000 packs of R. J.
Reynolds cigarettes are being
sent to Vietnam for Christ
mas from UNC students.
Money to pay for the gift
was collected in a pre-Thanks-giving
drive called Operation
Dime-A-Pak.
Charlie Mercer, who started
the drive with Chase Saund
ers, said Wednesday, "I feel
the program was supported,
not only by people here at the
University, but by citizens
throughout the state."
He expressed appreciation
to Lindsay Freeman of the
IFC, Lew Brown of the MRC,
Susan Gretz of the WRC and
Kelley Roberts and Debbie
Lazreth of the Panhellenic
Council who he said "made
the program."
Over 4,000 students con
tributed and signed the Christ
mas message which will be
sent with the cigarettes.
. The leading contributors
were Ehringhaus Residence
Hall which gave $150; Craige,
$120; the top fraternity was
Alpha Tau Omega, $31.64; the
top sorority, Kappa Alpha
Theta, $30; and the top or
ganization was the Air Force
ROTC and Angel Flight, $55.
of them has since been freed,
and the other isN awaiting an
other trial. The latter was
saved only one - half hour
before time for his execution."
'Many other states have
abolished the death penalty,"
Green said, "But it will be a
long time before North Caro-
lina is rid of it."

View Planetarium
By CAROL WONSAVAGE
DTH Staff Writer
Morehead Planetarium sees
three to four times the Chapel
Hill population in paid admis
sions each year, and over
half of these are from school
children.
"Last year 54,229 school
children visited the Plane
tarium," said Assistant Direc- -tor
Donald S. Hall, "with a
count of 53,91 people of the
general public, a total of 108,
220 people."
Students walking near More
head can see lines of children
and buses in the Planetarium
parking lot on any day of the
week.
"Most school children come
from areas within 80 miles of
Chapel Hill, but there have
been some groups from as
far away as Richmond, Va.,
and Columbia, S. C," said
Hall.
The Planetarium staff de
signs special school programs
geared to different grade lev
els and offers them on cer
tain days so elementary
school students can be assured
of an understanding of the
show.
"We send program sche
dules to all schools and teach
ers on our mailing list," said
Hall, "which outlines what is
offered for what grade leveL
Teachers make reservations
for the day arid the number of
children they are bringing.
"We then send study guides
so the teacher can prepare
the group. Thus the children's
understanding of the show is
half our responsibility and
half the teacher's."
Hall says that the busiest
season is spring, when teach
ers take their classes on field
trips in the nice weather.
Admission for student
groups are the same as for
the general public, 4 cents
for children, 65 cents for stu
dents, and 90 cents for adults.
However one chaperon per ten
children is admitted free.
Programs, designed to be
half instructional, half enter
taining, are planned by Hall
and Richard S. Knapp, Educa
tion Assistant. Two techni
cians set up special . effects,
lights, and music. They may
also have the Art Department
and campus photolab do spec
ial work.
There are eight programs
per year. Two of these, "Star
of Bethlehem" and "Easter

. DURHAM (AP) The Duke Univer
sity Law School Wednesday severed ties
with the North Carolina Bar Association
because a Negro graduate was denied
membership in the organization.
Dean F. Hodge O'Neal announced
the action after the law school's faculty
approved a resolution by a 2-to-l mar
gin. The exclusion of Eric Michaux of
Durham, a 1966 Duke Law School gra
duate, from membership in the State
Bar Association, the resolution said,
will be an obstacle to Michaux' pro
fessional advancement.
ludents Favor
Earlier
By LYTT STAMPS
DTH Staff Writer
Students here favor by a
2-1 majority changing the aca
demic year so that the fall
semester would end in De
cember, a survey conducted
by the communications com
mittee shows.
Of approximately 150 stu
dents polled,, 62 per cent
favor exams in December
while 29 per cent favor the
present plan of having exams
m January. Three per cent
had no opinion.
The survey showed that 24
Awakening" are the same
each year, while the others
vary according to what may
be popular in news, etc. at the
time. A forth-coming program
is on the Apollo mission to the
moon.
Hall says that people keep
coming back year after year
to see the current program,
"The Star of Bethlehem."
"It seems to be a family
tradition," he said.
It follows this pattern. Thir
ty minutes are spent estab
lishing location in time and
space, showing the sky as one
moves from Chapel Hill to
Jerusalem, then showing the
change from the sky of 1966
to that of 8 B.C. The narrator
shows what might have caus
ed the star to appear as it did.
The last half of the program
is the pageant, a retelling of
the Christmas story from the
King James version of the
Bible in music, lights, and
other special effects.
The Planetarium is self -supporting
on a daily basis
from admissions, using no tax
money. The Morehead Foun
dation pays for the building
and equipment.

Exa
per cent of the students do not
use their vacation periods to
study or do other school work,
while 39 per cent said they
did "very little" studying in
holidays.
Twenty-nine per cent do
"some" studying and seven
per cent do a "great deal" of
work.
Having exams in December
would mean beginning the
fall semester in late August.
Students polled were asked if
this would interfere with a
summer job or other summer
activity.
A majority, 52 per cent,
said starting the semester in
August would not interfere
with their summer activities.
The survey, the third con
ducted by the committee, also
asked students their opinions
on the book exchange and on
women visiting in men's resi
dence hall rooms.
Seventy-nine per cent of the
men questioned said they
would invite girls to their
rooms if the administration
approved the arrangements.
Of the women, 61 per cent
would accept an invitation to
a man's room while 35 per
cent didn't know.
When asked about buying
texts, 98 per cent of the stu
dents said they purchased
some of their books at the
Book Exchange.
Half said they would buy a
"great deal" of their books at
a student operated store.
A discussion of how to
become a conscientious ob
jector will be held Thurs
day at 7:30 p.m. at the
Wesley Foundation. Copies
of A Handbook for Consci
entious Objectors will be
available. This is the first
of a series of meetings on
"Conscientious Objection:
An Alternative to the
Draft."

The resolution said the association
made no inquiries about Michaux char
acter or legal qualifications before de
nying him membership.
"Under these circumstances we can
only infer that his application was re
jected solely because of his race," the
faculty said.
Dean O'Neal said this inference has
been substantially confirmed by recent
conversations with bar association rep
resentatives. Michaux has been admitted to prac
tice before the state bar. The bar as
sociation sponsors social events and
continuing education while
the North Carolina Bar is
the professional organiza
tion for the state's jurists
and attorneys.
William F. Womble of
Winston - Salem, president of
the bar association, was not
immediately available for
comment.
Dean O'Neal said he regret
ted fthe circumstances that
prompted the Duke faculty to
break all ties with the asso
ciation. He said the Duke Law
School has had Negro students
for several years and that
the faculty and administra
tion feel the school has the
same responsibility to the Ne
gro students as the other stu
dents. Dean O'Neal said the break
will mean: . ; .
1. The bar association will
be tJenied use of law school
facilities.
2. The school will no long
er participate in the associa
tion's continuing legal educa
tion program.
3. The law school no long
er will give names of s t u -dents
to the association for
summer placement programs.
"So you see," Dean O'Neal
said, "this will affect us,
too."
