Sentencing was deferred by the judge until later this week. Miss Walker was arrested and charged with the two offenses last July 24 when her residence was searched by Chapel Hill Police and three tablets of LSD were found. Chapel Hill Chief of Police William D. Blake said the police found three bottles in the refrigerator at Miss Walker's residence at 207 Church Street, and that the coed admitted that three of the tablets found contained "several trips each" of the hallucinogenic drug when she was arrested. The contents of all the bottles were sent off for chemical analysis but only three tablets which were wrapped in tin foil were found to have contained LSD according to Chief Blake.

Those answering the poll were asked to comment on their responses. A sample of comments follows: "I am not a racist. I believe in equal rights for everyone. And I think Negroes are cool!" "No ... A colored friend is a valuable and true one, once acquired." "I am not a racist because I am for Wallace. Perhaps I could be called a segregationist." "No, I'm no racist. Why? Because of my Negro friends who have shown me what their problems are." "No. As a black, a white is 'guilty until proven innocent,' I feel. In other words, a white man must prove himself before I accept him whereas a black man is all right until he proves otherwise. I . do not however consider this attitude racist because the white man's past actions toward the black man justify this scepticism." Among the declared racists' responses: "Yes, I am a racist. The began after "at least two persons recently had sought medical treatment after taking trips with LSD", said Chief Walker. He added that Miss Walker's residence and "other areas in Chapel Hill" had been under surveillance.

Lester Maddox, worried that the Democratic Party might not be able to keep the Georgia state-house in 1970, hinted Thursday that he "might just run Virginia," his wife, to succeed him. Under Georgia law, Maddox cannot succeed himself. "I think she'd do a good job," he said. "She is a good American, a good wife and a great businessman." Maddox said he might offer nu Si CHAPEL V For Pep Rally Y Booth I 17 Racists reason, I suppose is because I was raised in a typical prejudiced Southern .environment." "Yes I am a racist because black people in general want everything given to them. I feel that they should work for what they get and not have everything given to them." "How could anybody grow up in America and not be a racist. My heart's in the right place, but my mind's been raped by this culture. Your heart ain't enough, baby." "Yes, I am a racist, because black people on the general, do not know how to use their rights and privileges. But, they do deserve equal rights as soon as they prove they can use them correctly." "Sure, I'm a racist, a product of a society which inbreeds white supremacy into its members. I was a mealy-mouthed white liberal who held himself above racism, and flaunted it in the faces of the 'bigots.' Until I can look at the black girl as first a girl, and then a black girl, I'll still be a racist. But maybe I can Legislature. Possession or possession for sale carries a maximum five-year penalty for the first offense. Miss Walker is a senior political science major from Goldsboro. She transferred to UNC last fall from UNC-G. Last fall she was employed as a secretary in the political science department his wife, now 50, as a gubertorial candidate because he feared the Democratic Party would lose the office without a conservative on the ballot.

HILL, NORTH CAROLINA, if V ' 'i i 'A i 1 DTH Sta Photo By Tom Schnabel stop the system .from producing products like me." John Rosenthal, an English graduate student," commented; "I don't think that I'm a racist, though it would be difficult for me to prove it. I'm white, American, of suburban protestant heritage, and for 20 years of my life I didn't give a damn about civil rights all of which may suggest that a racist consciousness inevitably sleeps below my words. "But more to the point: on the risk that I overlook certain burdens which many Negroes carry (confusion of identities, fear of sudden death, frustrated self-imagery, distortions of all kinds) I think that Negroes are more in touch with themselves than the white people their heritage isn't clogged with 2000 year old cliches, dilutions of the mind and heart and this is essentially because the Negro is a stranger, and an unwelcome one, to the dying white culture. He lives on the edge of our accumulated honor, and does his own thing. I can learn a lot from his perspective if the Negro becomes white, I won't learn anything from him. He must remember that. "And what do I do about the Negro. I make his culture mine without asking for compensation; I don't ask him to listen to Andy Williams. IH stay out of his home if he doesn't want me there. I'll wait for the Negro to make me choose a side, and then, il the cops still want to kill Negroes, IH do everything in my white power to buy the Negro as many guns as he needs to fight. And then I'll get the hell out of this country." Parking Due to the football game, the following areas will be closed to traffic and parking on Friday, Sept. 20 at 11:30 p.m.: (1) Area between Woollen Gym and Tin Can.

To attain better security, new screens are being installed on the first floor of each women's dorm. New and better lighting equipment will be completely installed by Thanksgiving and an alarm system should be finished by the Christmas vacation break. Under the new arrangement, each girl's room would be wired directly to the House Mother's. Other measures for added safety are the cutting back of bushes adjacent to dormitory doors and the removal and replacement of large paints with smaller ones where the foilage could hide a prowler. Student Body President Ken Day, commenting on the added security steps, said, "While the steps being taken to improve women's security are indeed most commendable, I thing we must be realistic in recognizing that our women's residence halls will always be less secure than they can be, until all of us make the commitment and pay the price necessary to provide for full security with nightwatchmen." Dean of Women Datherine Carmichael has said in the past that she believes nightwatchmen for dorms to be a "useless expense." Miss Carmichael has continually emphasized the importance of educating girls to take proper , personal precautions above other security measures. Jjibby Idol, Women's Residence Council chairman, has observed security at other institutions and believes that "we are probably behind other schools in security at the present time, but with these innovations here, I believe we will get on an even keel with other schools." Security: Intimate Has By MARY BURCH DTH Staff Writer "If the Book Ex can do it then by golly the Intimate can do it too," said Wally Kiiralt manager of the Intimate book store. The new Josepheus Daniels Book Store installed closed circuit television to watch the students in the store. So the long-time rival of the Book Ex, the Intimate, installed closed circuit television too for the students to watch the manager's office. "If the Book Ex can be 'the first college store in the nation to install closed circuit television,' as they claim, then the Intimate can be the first book store in the nation to have closed circuit television of the manager's office," Kuralt said. The Intimate's television, which was installed Wednesday, is located in the text book sales department on tiie first floor in the back of the store. "Wednesday we had the camera above the receiver so the students could watch themselves on the set," Kuralt aid. "We moved the camera into my office today. Most students thing it's funny." Many students, in the hustle to buy texts, don't seem to notice the set, but those who do appreciate it David Morgan, freshman. South Boston, Virginia, said, "I think it's really funny a very 20, 1968 Dorm Security Miss Idol agreed with Day in saying, "While the innovations being installed now are good, security will remain very much a major concern for us. " I think our problems will be alleviated to a great extent, but I still want to evaluate how these new things work out.

Whereas the University Office of Traffic and Motor Vehicle Registration gives a warning ticket for the first offensepthe polices-will issue tickets costing $1 for further offenses. Towing will accompany the ticket if the vehicle is in an illegal parking area. Revocation of the parking permit is the penalty for third offense. Riggsbee indicated that regulations would be enforced more strictly this year, especially in faculty parking areas. Vehicle registration without a penalty fee ends Friday. Beginning Monday a $5 late fee will be charged with the registration. Parking stickers will be on sale throughout the year. good idea." Bucky Buckner, senior, Lexinton, said "It's cool.

Additional members have been added to the campus police force patrolling the women's residence areas. Two added policemen now work the third shift (11:30 p.m. to 7:3C a.m.) and one more than last year is on duty on the second shift (3:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m.). A revision in the State System Expanding On concerned students who are the heroes of the University's footsore, will resume its experimental bus system originating from South Campus on Monday, Sept. 23. The STC operated bus service from South Campus to Wilson Library and to town for two weeks near the end of the Spring '67 semester. The response, although good, was not overwhelming, but John McMurray, co-chairman of the committee, is confident more students will take advantage of the opportunity this time. "Last year the weather was generally quite warm, and many students felt more like walking," McMurray pointed out. "However, we feel that as the weather turns cooler in the fall, we will get more riders. Also there is a new freshman class on South Campus, "which will, we hope, want to avoid the blisters of their predecessors." McMurray also cited the expanded service more frequent runs and more trips into town and the re-routing of the town run as reasons for anticipated increased response. Beginning at 7:20 in the morning, buses will leave Chase Cafeteria and Wilson Library every five minutes until 3 p.m. After three, the round trips will be made every ten minutes until 5:30. Town trips leaving Chase will leave on the hour, 15. and the joke without personal offense.

Volume 76, Number 3 budget was necessary to pay for the reinforcements. The communications equipment used by the campus police has also been improved. Campus patrolmen are carrying walkie-talkies in addition to radios in their vehicles, and the entire system is now coordinated with the Chapel Hill police radios. Monday 20 after from 9:00 until 3:00. From 3:00 until 4:30, the run to Franklin Srreet will leave on the hour and 20 after. McMurray also noted that passengers at Odom and Victory Villages, Joyner, and Parker can flag down the buses when they come by. The project is being renewed with money from the President's Discretionary Fund. Student Legislature will consider a bill Thursday that would appropriate $1000 for the Student transportation Committee. The money would be used to subsidize the bus lines dispel the deficit between the number of fares and the cost of chartering for "a minimum of 20 days," according tc McMurray. McMurray hopes that the bill will be passed and that the committee will get some money from the University Administration. "We are also hoping to get some local advertising inside the buses," he said. But he reminded, "Whether we can continue this project depends on the response and we hope that all students who have expressed an interest in this for so long will now take advantage of the service so we can perpetuate it." "Apprximately 2000 riders per day not a large number considering the number of students involved will be needed for a successful response," he added. Class see me on the store sets.
