By TERRY GINGRAS and SHARI WILLIS of The Daily Tar Heel Staff The House of Represen tatives, despite the opposition of the entire North Carolina delegation, Wednesday passed the Open Housing Bill, outlaw ing discrimination in Amer ica's housing by a 249-171 vote. Representative Jim Gardner of North Carolina said in a telephone interview that he voted against the bill because it was "unconstitutional." " "It- takes away the right of thf small homeowner to dispose of his property as he lit) oaiu uai ill&a Gardner charged that the bill had been passed in a "legislative ramrod deal." "The bill shouldn't have been brought up at this time. With marines in the nation's capitol, it was an unhealthy climate to talk on major legislation." IDJ Persists In MarMhom Gardner said debate on the measure was limited to one hour. He said the legislation : should not have been forced '.. "because a few people go out and riot." The bill was adopted by a vote of 249 to 171.. The bill contains anti-riot measures in : addition outlawing discrimination. BLACK STUDENT leaders i at UNC expressed sorrow that i it took the death of Martin ? Luther King Jr. to get the ? bill passed. "It's a poor comment on : the nation," that an assassina- tion has to occur before the ', legislation was put through," : said Kelly Alexander Jr., ' president of the campus NAACP. Preston Dobbins, head of the Black Student Movement, said the bill was passed by a mix ture of fear and sympathy for Dr. King, but added that the potential for violence had not been stopped by the passage of the bill. It takes more than laws," Movement, condemned the North Carolina delegation for opposing the bill. "I think it is symbolic of the kind of forces the black people are facing in North Carolina." "The. white liberals In this state are asking what they can do to help the Black people and then they send guys like Erwin to represent them." "We're going to have to weed these guys out," he said. "It'S SYMBOLIC of what Black people are going to have to do. They've got to organize and put the system in a corner. We have to push the system by overt means, point up weaknesses in the system and get the issue where people can see it." Riddick said Black people couldn't work through the system because "it's for white folks." Alexander said the bloc vote was characteristic of the legislature from this state. " Alexander also charged that "these people aren't represen tative of the people in their districts. They need to be voted out.. We need down to earth legislation ballots, not bul lets." He predicted the bd would be hard to implement. "It'll be a legislative nightmare. We'll have to wait and see the results of the first few cases in the Supreme Court." CHAPEL HILL MAYOR Sandy McClamroch said he had anticipated the passing of the bill, but said he didn't know what the proposed ordinance in Chapel Hill would be like. "Enforcement is the key," said MClamroch "It will be hardest to get down in an ordinance." McClamroch said the need for a town ordinance was not as great as it was before the bill was passed. He said he had instructed the city manager and attorney to draw up an open housing ordinance after he was presented with a petition at the Board of Aldermen meet ing Tuesday night. "I don't know if the town will want to make an ordinance now that the federal bill has been passed," said McClamroch. Eights MM Adopted By CATHY STEELE of The Daily Tar Heel Staff Mike Shannon, Granville's Radio WILD deejay celebrated his 100th hour of continuous broadcasting at 4:00 p.m. Wed nesday with a rousing version of "Dixie" and a parade around the station. When asked how he felt with thirty hours to go to reach his goal of 130 hours of broad casting, he replied: "I have a sore throat, my back hurts, and oh, what else is wrong?" Shannon was still awake, however, and determined as ever. He has resolved now to use no coffee or stimulants at all during his marathon. The freshman deejay was visited by psychologist Dr. Peter Whybrow Wednesday afternoon, who commissioned him to submit himself to p s y c hological experiments after the ordeal ends Thursday night. The psychologist tested Shannon's mental alertness Wednesday afternoon by giving companied by "babysitters" who have had to resort to slapping to keep him awake. Shannon says: "Some hit me in the back of the neck, some between the shoulder blades, and some just kick me in the shins." He has to keep walking around in the middle of the night to keep awake, he said, and passes time talking to himself in the microphone. "I've talked so much for so long that my throat is sore. It feels like I was having an argument with a hippopotamus and tried to scream at him and got all his lungs in mine," Shannon said. ABC television has said they will cover the marathon if Shannon breaks the I ntercollegiate Broadcasting record of 126 . hours, 40 minutes. Shannon plans to play "Dix ie" one last time at the 130th hour, announce that he's broken the record, and go im mediately to the hospital. He to the station since the marathon began. One man calls him on the hour every night from 11:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. to help him stay awake. "I have another guy who calls every night and just says 'uh,' not even 'uh.uh'." A girl in Granville East sent Shannon a back-scratcher to thank him for playing a Simon and Garfunkel record. She claims it is guaranteed to do better than No-Doz or coffee to keep one awake. said Dobbins continue to that The WILD staff feels the broadcasting marathon has Vietnam, done much to bring the Gran- need, we ville Residence College up." together.

O. Cathey said Wednesday that the National Association of Student Personnel (NASPA) a "giant step" toward "catching up" to UNC policies by adopting a "student Bill of Rights." Dean Cathey and Dean of Men James O. Cansler at tended the March 31-April 2 conference i n .Minneapolis, Minn, where a "Statement of Desirable Provisions for Stu dent Freedom to Learn" was passed almost unanimously. The statement says student academic and disciplinary records should be separate and their release controlled by an explicit policy statement." Students have the right to express their- views on in stitutional policy and ought to have "clearly defined means to participate in the formula tion and application of regula tions affecting student affairs, it continues. Student publications must be "free of censorship and ad ministrative or public disap proval of editorial policy and content. Disciplinary action against students should be secondary to "example, counseling, guidance and admonition" and the accused must be informed of the charges against him. and given a fair opportunity to refute them. The institution should not be arbitrary in its disciplinary ac tions and must be just in its investigation and hearing policies, the resolution states Dean Cathey said the , . NASPA adoption does not com pel its member institutions to follow the statement exactly, but serves as a "guideline" to their policies. "This document has been referred to as the 'student Bui of Rights,' " he reported. "I'm pleased to note that our practices and our concepts being observed on this campus right now are in almost com plete accord with the sense of that document." Citing examples of how UNC policy is in the spirit of the resolution, he asked "can you imagine any more freedom vanced approval of copy" and than student publications have editors and managers should be potected from arbitrary suspension and removal because of student, faculty, ad- are observed." The University policy is to consider accused students innocent until a "properly constituted judicial body" can use evidence to pro ve him guilty "beyond a shadow of a reasonable doubt," he explained. Dean Cathey said he talked with other conference dele gates from colleges through out the nation and none showed a lack of sympathy for students who want "more voice in giv ing direction to the affairs of the institution. ..." However, he found "no will ingness to turn autonomy over to students" or "to meet stu dent power demands." "The sense of the group as I gathered it was that the university is a community" of faculty, students and ad ministraton, and "they recognize the wisdom of a free flow of communications between these three segments of the academic community." ' Dean Cathey is against "stu dent power" and said that "Bob Travis (President of the Student Body) has put that in the right context and that is student involvement." The Dean wants students to have "frequent, easy and con- on thic MmniK?" Regarding disciplinary tinuous communication and in cases, he pointed out that "all volvement in the affairs of of the accused student's rights th institution." V-':, I . ". . . J 1 7 rr- Vote Amazes Strauch By J.D. WILKINSON of The Daily Tar Heel Staff Defeated presidential can didate Bruce Strauch ex pressed surprise Wednesday at the strong showing which he and fellow independent Dick Levy made in Tuesday's elec tion. Strauch said he thought it "amazing" that he and Levy had garnered well over a thousand votes. The substan tial independent vote threw the presidential race into a second election between front-runner Jed Dietz and runner-up Ken Day. The run-off will be held sometime after the spring break. Dietz is the candidate of the Student Party and Day is the University Party can didate. The former had an unofficial vote total of "2351 for approximately 46 percent of the total number of votes cast. Day had an unofficial total of 1611 which comprised about 31 percent of the total vote. . The two Strauch and Lew. captured 1201 unofficial votes between them (955 for Strauch and 246 for Levy) or approximately 23 percent of the total vote. Strauch said Wednesday both he and Levy had been hoping to win votes from the students who do not usually participate in campus elections. 44These people," he said "don't vote in student elections because they don't like Student Government politics. We hopec that they might take ad vantage of the alternative choice which w e presen ted. . .but they didn't. Still 1 am amazed that Dick and I managed to get- so many votes." Strauch said he had not made a decision yet as to - whether or not he will independent participate actively in the presidential run-off election. He indicated, however, that he would meet with Levy to discuss the possibility of the two combining to lend joint support to a candidate. Strauch said that he plans to meet with both Dietz and Day to discuss his views on the student body presidency and student government. He did not say whether or not a definite decision would come out of these meetings as to the possibility of . his actively supporting one can didate or the other.
