Atv'Joaua Baez Amiti-War Meetim ) HIT e By MIKE COZZA of The Dally Tar Heel Staff Two UNC students handed their draft cards to folksinger Joan Baez yesterday afternoon following an anti-war, anti draft meeting in Memorial Hall. Miss Baez was one on three speakers at the meeting. She would not release the students' names, although one identified i i . mmseii as Kobert Bottomly, a sophomore from Marblehead, Mass. The meeting was sponsored jointly by SDS, SSOC and The Resistance. It was attended by an estimated 700 persons. Miss Baez told the group that "we have all been raised from birth to become schizophrenics." "We have been told by everyone to be kind and decent and to love our neighbor," she explained. "But now we're being told that there's something more im portantthe nation-state. Now 'Big Daddy' will make all the decisions." Appearing on the program with Miss Baez were her hus band, Dave Harris, a leader of The Resistance, and Ira Sandpearl, head of the Institute for Non-violence. Miss Baez also commented that she was mot especially shocked by the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Half Day Off Chancellor Sitterson has approved a request that all University n o n -academic ' employees who wish to do so be authoriz ed to take a half-day off duty Tuesday. This halfnday may be morning or afternoon, as each employee prefers, and will not be counted against vacation or leave time. Supervisors may seek to arrange rotation of schedules in areas where this i s necessary and possible. .Blae .Boycott CamiDiiiLg Today uy BILL AMLONG of The Dally Tar Heel Staff Black students and workers will boycott campus today in mourning for the late Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King. The Black Student Move ment passed out mimeograph ed sheets to all Negro employees at the University Monday asking them to stay home today. "Nothing had been adequately done to show proper respect for Dr. King," said Preston Dobbins, BSM chairman. "And knowing good and well that the University wasnt going to do a damned thing, we decided to do it ourselves." Dobbins said the BSM did not ask the University for a day of mourning, because "we didn't feel it was necessary for any Black people on this campus to ask any white for permission to take one day it Marinda McPherson leads the singing ... Jr. last Thursday. "It was just a matter of someone pointing a gun in the wrong direction," she said. "I don't know, but I'd guess the man who killed King had been through Marine or some other military training." Miss Baez said that she had known Dr. King well but had freqently disagreed with him on the tactics of non-violen il a . j . m i ce. "Dr. King used to saythat society was like the black and white keys on a piano," she commented. "He thought we should try to get them to play in harmony." "I used to tell him society was like a symphony," she added, "and the whole damn thing was out of tune." Speaking after Miss Baez, Dave Harris emphasized that "our task must be to build a new set of assumptions on which we can then build a new society." "These assumptions must be based on conscience," he said. "Our society is in trouble to day because it has come into conflict with human con science." Mr. Harris said his philosophy was based on the idea of the brotherhood of man and that the war in Vietnam was standing in the way of that brotherhood. "You can't convince a man you want to be his brother if you have a gun in his back," he added. Mr. Harris urged students to think about the draft and to consider resistance. "Everyday you carry that draft card, you're supporting the system," he said. "The people who cany the cards are the bricks and mortar which hold the Selective Service together." Harris said that he presently has a case pending -against him in San Francisco for returning his draft card and refusing induction. He said he was not afraid to go to jail for five years. "At least jail is clearer than fadente9 Workers off work to pay proper respect for 'such a great leader as Dr. King." THE BOYCOTT WILL follow two days of memorial services held by the University and the Chapel Hill Ministerial Association. The first memorial service, held Sunday afternoon in the First Baptist Church, was preceded by a march from Y Court by some 6 00 persons. Chancellor J. Carlyle Sit terson and President William C. Friday were among the marchers. About 600 townspeople were already at the church. The service included hymns, scripture readings and quota tions from Dr. King what he said in Montgomery during the bus boycott, what he said during the 1963 march on w in Monday's memorial service the outside world," he ex plained. The guards are the guards and the prisoners are the prisoners. No one's trying to fool anyone by calling the guards deans or anything e2se." Mr. Sandpearl, who opened the program, made a plea for students to organize against violence. "My view of life is revolu tionary," he said. "And the revolutionary view must be that human life is more im portant than any ideology over human life." t Students Decide In Nine By RICK GRAY of The Daily Tar Heel Staff Nine ballots will be facing the students who go to the (polls (today. The ballots will carry the names of candidates for offices ranging from President of the Student Body to Social Chairman of the Senior Class. Not counting legislative and honor cour hopefuls, there will be 33 names on the ballots. The big race, of course, is the one for president with Ken Day, Jed Dietz, Dick Levy and Bruce Strauch on the ballot. Day and Dietz are the University Party and Student Party representatives, respec tively, and Levy and Strauch are independents. Charlie Mercer (UP) and Lacy Reaves (SP are ninning for Vice President. Secretarial candidates are Betsy Crawford (SP) and Sallie Spurlock (UP).. . ........ :. -vc,;- There are three names on the ballot for DTH editorship, but only two candidates (Wayne Hurder and Steve Knowlton) have been seriously campaigning. The third, Dick Washington, and what he said in Memphis before his death. Following the service, Black students and townspeople marched from the church, along Franklin Street to Columbia Street, and then back to the church. A march had originally been planned from the Church to the post office, but was called off when so many whites show ed up, Dobbins said. "I just couldn't see us leading a march that was 90 per cent white," Dobbins said later. THE BLACK students and townspeople waited, however, until tie whites left the church, and then marched themselves. At Columbia Street, Police Chief William D. Blake con fronted Dobbins as the marchers made a full circle of the intersection, blocking DTH Staff Photo by Gene Wang for Dr. Martin Luther King. 'r J After each speaker had spoken for about ten minutes, the audience was asked to con tribute money to support further anti-draft programs around the country. The col lection was followed by a ques tion and answer period. One young woman asked what girls could do to aid the anti-war movement Sandpearl answered that "young women should not go to bed with any man who isn't a draft refuser." Miss Baez nodded her approval. Another questioner asked BaMot Election Levy, dropped out of the race, after his name was placed on the ballot, in order to run': for president as an in dependent. The lone referendum facing the students today is the con-, r stitutional amendment which, ! if passed, will establish a coed honor court to hear all honor code offenses. It would also create a graduate school court j to hear cases involving (graduate students.

Blake told Dobbins that he would arrest' him if the marchers circled the in tersection again. The marchers then returned to the church, but Dobbins said it wasn't the threat of arrest that made them do so. "We had never planned to go all the way to the Post Office," he said. "We had women with children in .the march, and we were going back to the church from there anyway." A SECOND MEMORIAL service, James R. Wagoner, a RTVMP graduate student who was supposed to lead a litany, "Martin Luther King's Vision," scrapped his script and began speaking to the 2,000 or so students and faculty members there. "The University has not used its power for the struggle of equality In America," he said, calling on the administration to wipe out all forms of discrimination in Chapel Hill.

I would challenge you today to .see tha tjjat his spirit never dies and we will go forward from this experience which to me represents the crucifixion on toward the resurrection and redemption of his spirit," Mrs. King said. National Guardsmen, their rifles tipped with bayonets, lin ed the route of the somber, peaceful march and police helicopters hovered overhead while she spoke. Mrs. King was cheered many times during her 14 1-2 minute talk, which she delivered in an unhurried fashion from a speakers stand shared by singer Harry Belafonte, Walter. Reuther, head of the United Auto Workers, Bayard Rustin, leader of the 1963 civil right March on Washington, Rev. Ralph Abernathy, who took over the reins of King's Southern Christian Leadership Conference SCLO, and others. . Mrs. King vowed that her husband's campaign for the poor people would continue.

"R's necessary that ap-. plicants for the conference be interested in the UNC drug policy and toe willing to spend some time this week learning more about it," Jeffress con tinued. "We're sending two student representatives and hopefully one from the ad ministration." NSA pays for the delegates' rooms and Jeffress added "there's a good possibility Stu dent Legislature will pay travel expenses." The representatives must pay for their own meals. Host schools for the con ference are Queens College, Rutgers University and Adelphi University. Medical and legal experts in the drug field will provide recent in formation on student drug in volvement and aid campuses in setting up local education projects. In addition to scheduled discussions, all delegates will also participate in small group discussions to determine the Marathon Attempted By NANCY STANCILL of The Daily Tar Heel Staff A freshman deejay on Gran ville's radio WILD, interviewed after 51 hours of continuous broadcasting, smiled and said cheerfully "I feel fine." Mike Shannon of Philadelphia, began broad casting at 12 noon Saturday, and plans to remain on the air until 10:00 p.m. Thursday night, a total of 130 hours of continuous broadcasting. The purpose of Shannon's marathon is to break the cur rent record, 126 hours, 40 minutes, set by a student at a radio station at the Universi ty of Redlands, California. The record was set last April. Shannon volunteered for the marathon last week and made the necessary arrangements to make up the classes he will miss for the duration of the experiment. "It is an opportunity to break the monotony. You get up, eat, go to classes, come home, and sleep always the same thing," said Shannon, ex plaining the reason for his participation. "We had planned to hold a simultaneous contest with a northern school but they chickened out," Shannon remarked. For this reason, he refers to himself as "The Reb" on the air. In cooperation with the sta tion management and under the rules of the contest, Shan non is allowed to play single DTH Stag Photo bv Cent Wang HARRIS motives, extent and effects of student drug involvement and to suggest solutions to the pro blems caused by stereotypes of- student drug .users as criminals and stereotypes of administration 'as policing angets. . Similar NSA drug con ferences have been held in the West and Mid-West and . this one arose partially because of the February drug raids on the Stony Brook cam pus of the State University of New York. The subsequent Senate sub committee investigation of the raid, in which several dozen students were arrested, and NSA studies on student drug involvement also prompted the east-Coast conference. "In view of tfce March ar rests of three UNC students on drug charges I think that we need further investigation in how a student drug policy can best be administered," commented Jeffress. He anticipates over 100 col leges in attendance at the New York conference. Broadcast On WILD records or albums, introducing each number. Later on in the contest he will have "judges", to make sure he stays awake. At this stage, Shannon has not used coffee, No-Doz, or any other type of stimulant to help him remain awake. He says he will probably resort to stimulant use Wednesday. "The No-Doz company has given me four cases of family size No-Doz, and The Gondola restaurant has donated free dinners and snacks every night," Shannon said. "Three hours ago I was dead on my feet, but I took an Alka-Seltzer, and had a glass of iced tea, and now I feel fine," Shannon remarked. The response of the 2,000 Granville listeners has been generally good, according to Shannon. Some of the residents drop by the station, or call in, and he hears bets are circulating around Granville East and West. Radio WILD, which broad casts music and inter-dorm ac tivities to Granville Towers residents, is regularly on the air 3:00 p.m. to 1:00 aja. with deejays serving 1 1-2 hour shifts. Marathon deejay Shannon concluded, "The clock is the only thing keeping me going. The worst time is about 6:00 in the morning. This morning I knew no one was listening, so I just talked to myself in the microphone for an hour." Set
