Two Stnideete M-etara Draft Card.

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,

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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 RTVMP graduate student
who was supposed to lead a

and began speaking to the 2,000

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.

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

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.

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."
