His pleasure is well founded for these young men have truly upheld the high standards of the Morehead Program during their undergraduate days. In the school room, on the athletic fields and in the numerous other extra-curricular activities, such as student government and fraternity life, these young men have reinforced the real quality of "Carolina life." In fact forty-five per cent of the 1968 Morehead graduates were in the Freshman Honors Program and also during their initial year thirty-six per cent of them were inducted into Phi Eta Sigma.

The material productivity of the United States is essential to fill the needs of the poor and dispossessed. 'The remarkable processes of practical accommodation that have characterize our government and politics are essential, if the rewards and powers of our society are to be widely shared. To function effectively, our economic and political systems require stability. There can be none of these things without rule by law," Heard said.

Problems Grow For Marchers By TOM GOODING Tar Heel Staff Writer "We encountered no problem accomodating the marchers in from the Poor People's Campaign in Chapel Hill. As a matter of fact we found that we were the best organized town in the entire triangle area," said Howard Lee, area co-ordinator for the Poor People's March. "There was a great deal of co-operation from he people of the Chapel Hill area. The marchers were housed in private homes through local churches," Lee said. "There were no major problems at any time. We encountered minor points of misunderstanding but they were cleared up," said Lee. Lee then commented on the actions and circumstances in Resurrection City. "Things are basically under control. It is very well organized. They have a city hall in the center of the city; they have established their own police force, have elected their own mayor and town manager, and have a working hospital complex."

We know of several places, mostly in the West and East but not in North NO. 1 Cited. 0 ion Bidding the graduation class farewell, President Friday challenged them to "Stand up and speak out for the University."

Carolina, that have raised up to $3,000 and it just isn't getting to the people. "We expect to take action soon so I can't release any more specific information," Lee said. "It isn't definite if they will set up a permanent city. Conditions have gotten worse. Some of the people are getting homesick and many are tired. A feeling of hopelessness is present among some of the older people," Lee said. "Although many old people have left the young people are still strong. I believe more than enough will be left by the march on June 19th. "On the 16th the lease comes due. When the marchers arrived the government gave them permission to reside on the land.
