OCTOBER 16, 1968 Founded February 23. 1893 Nixon Asks Voters Deny Wallace To By DALE GIBSON DTH Managing Editor G RRENS BO RO Richard Nixon told an overflow crowd in Memorial Coliseum Tuesday that Hubert Humphrey cannot win in November but because of the threat of "the third party candidate," Humphrey may carry the nation anyway. Without mentioning American Independent party candidate George Wallace by name, Nixon made a passionate appeal to North Carolina voters to "not let divisiveness in those forces opposed to the present administration" create victory for Humphrey. The Republican presidential nominee spoke to over 7,000 Nixicrats in a major political rally here. It marked his second visit to the Tar Heel state since he received the presidential nomination. Nixon stated that "at this time, North Carolina is a swing state" with he and Wallace vying for the state's 13 electoral votes and Humphrey running third. "On November 5, people will and should vote against the present administration," Nixon continued. "But, don't just vote against vote for the policies that can lead this nation down a new road." Besides his appeal for unity among those opposed to the RICHARD NIXON present administration policies, Nixon stuck to a stock campaign speech calling for an end to the war in Vietnam, a new direction in foreign policy, and end to crime in the streets, a curtailment of inflation and new trade agreements. The Republican nominee, in an attempt to keep from alienating democrats and independents who may cast their votes for him, stated that the great issues confronting this nation "are not partisan." Nixon said that the war in Vietnam "is not a Republican or democratic problem. It is an issue which confronts the American people and these people must decide which man can best lead the nation." Nixon blasted his Democratic opponent for the part the Vice President has played in helping mould American foreign policy. "My opponent has helped make these policies over the past four years," Nixon said. "You can't name one place in the world where the United States is better off now than it was during the Eisenhower administration. "Respect for the . United States has fallen to the lowest point ever. It is down to the breaking point now and we can't afford four more years of it," Nixon told the cheering crowd. Nixon reiterated his plea for an honorable end to the Vietnam stalemate and a new direction in foreign policy after the war. "For 20 years, we have poured out men and money throughout the world. Other nations are now strong and rich as a result of this,"- Nixon added. "It is time for a foreign policy in which other nations in the free world will bear then fair share. Nixon pointed to his record as vice president in the Eisenhower administration in which one war was ended and the nation was kept out of another war for eight years. "That is what I pledge to you today," Nixon bellowed. I I II II HI l. .,. "mX "" U.IM11II I, HI'" " 11111 "I""1" ""' " ' ' """ J .".'- vr vviSR.. ;cn J SM Y ; & r If.

Spenser residents used 193 gallons per person last week, which adds up to about one more shower per student than in Winston. Alderman, Connor and Cobb took an extra shower and washed behind their ears to record 'a respectful 214, 218 and 219 gallons, respectively. The Panhellenic Council initiated a similar contest between the eight sororities last week. Ratings will be available later this week. Consumption should be low since the sororities are no longer rushing with ice water teas. The Men's Residence Council and the Inter-Fratemity Council met yesterday with members of WRC, Panhell and members of the administration to offer its support of this contest One of the frats on campus will now have the opportunity to claim the official title of Dirtiest Frat House. The men's dorms are also running their own competition. Readings were taken Monday on the fraternity houses and men's dorms. Winners in these two categories will be announced at the end of the seven-day period. Weekly water consumption readings will be cumulative until the official termination of the drought. At that time, the Merchant's Association of Chapel Hill will brave the depths of dirt to award a prize to the winners of each of the four categories The WRC, MRC, IFC and Panhell encourage serious participation in these contests. Joyce Davis of the WRC said, "We decided to reduce the water consumption ourselves so that the University would not have to ration it We're taking positive action towards this problem." Day Discusses Sandwich Issue 100 View Y Court Debate .Discussion aws Crowd. Bv J.D. WILKINSON DTH Staff Writer .Ray Robinson, spokesman for the Refugees of Resurrection City, U.S. A., for Human Rights led an impromptu open discussion in Y-Court Tuesday afternoon which attracted a crowd of up to 100 persons. The Refugees of Resurrection City are a group of veterans from the poverty march of last spring who are on their way to Alabama to create a new, and permanent, Resurrection City. They are in Chapel Hill this week seeking 'aid for the project The organization has a table in Y-Court from which they are soliciting funds and UNC Students Participate In Durham Stores Boycott distributing literature. They also hope to form a support group on the UNC campus composed of students who will be willing to donate time and effort to the building of the new "free" city. The Y-Court discussion began at about 1:15 p.m. when Robinson approached a Marine officer stationed at a recruiting booth and ' engaged" him " 'iff V-very conversation. "I asked him," Robinson said,"what was meant by a sign which said something like 'Join the Marines the Marine Corps builds men.' "I told him that where I Ncame from, people don't have to join the Marines to become men." The conversation soon drew a large crowd and developed into an open-end discussion. William Halsey, a senior economics student who joined the discussion at about 2:00 p.m., said that the group touched on a number of Robinson to explain his alternative to present society. He pressed the issue but seemed unsatisfied with Robinson's replies Mr. Robinson explained later that his failure to answer the question to Halsey's satisfaction resulted from the fact that he was "rambling." "College students know little about our people, and when people from tne ghettoes come here and try to talk to them, they are not understood because students expect them to talk their way. The discussion was still going strong when, at about 3:30 p.m., A.G. "Pete" Ivey, director of the University News Bureau, worked his way to the front of the crowd and tried to interview Robinson. The group resented the intrusion and asked Ivey not to interrupt. Sgt C.R. Eller, who was manning the Marine recruiting booth, tried to resume the discussion but was and I felt I had a right to say something. "I was not trying to place any blame on the Resurrection City People, the students, or the Marines. "I was simply trying to get the facts. I have that obligation By BRYAN CUMMING DTH Staff Writer Students from U.N.C. are now actively participating in the Durham boycott. Bruce Wells, leader of SSOC's University and Community Committee, organized about a dozen students last weekend and turned away over 150 shoppers at North gate Shopping Center. Students interested in helping with the boycott should meet in the Morehead Planetarium parking lot Thursday and Friday at 5:30 p.m. Saturday a similar trip to Durham will leave at 1:30 p.m. Those who are interested should contact Wells at 942-5919. Transportation is needed. Wells Durham political influence says that blacks in have very . little power and little in decisions that affect them. The Durham Housing Authority had one black member who has resigned. According to Wells, every time Isolated University Days OverKnight Duke University President Doughlas Knight said on WUNC television Monday night that the day of the isolated university is over, speaking on WUNC television Monday night Knight also spoke of a "sensitive social conscience" through which the university could exercise its influence on the community. The basis of unrest on college campuses goes well beyond the'university and into society, Knight said in his appearance on North Carolina News Conference. Knight said unrest of different campuses has taken different forms. He said Duke was able to cope with the "student vigil" of last spring without violence. "I think we learned some new ways of communicating with one another...we learned quite a bit about talking with people you disagree with." Knight mentioned that businesses sometimes have a more developed conscience in the community than does the university, but the university should be' leading in this respect. Knight also stated that students hold substantial power in the university. He said that the belief that the trustees or some other group have a monopoly of power is incorrect Knight said that the universities are somewhat at fault in student unrest "Universities do bear some of the responsibility. We've been indifferent at times to some of the problems we should have been interested in... "I see the day of the isolated university as over. I think undergraduates in many places in the country have had a very legitimate complaint to make." the man spoke up, he was overruled by the other members. The boycott was initiated about nine months ago by the Black Solidarity Committee in Durham, led by Ben Ruffin. It is an effort by blacks to gain political power by exercising economic power. According to Wells, the Durham black community is "unified right down the middle," rather than divided along economic lines. The boycott has the support of moderate civil rights workers as well as militants. WTells states that the blacks have "tremendous buying power" in downtown Durham, citing the Young Men's Shop, which had 60 black patronage prior to the boycott Whites who are helping with the boycott are working at Northgate Shopping Center, while blacks pass out leaflets in the downtown area. The Black Solidarity Committee held a mass meeting Sunday, October 13, at the New Bethel Church in Durham. According to Wells, the attendance at the meeting was a "cross-section" of the black community, including rich, poor, militant, and civil rights workers. The BSC mass meetings are held each Sunday. The topic of the main speech at the one last Sunday was "Now or Never." The leaders mentioned the help that SSOC had furnished to the boycott Wells had organized thirteen students for Friday afternoon, and ten students for Saturday, working a total of over ten hours at Northgate Shopping Center. After the meeting, Wells spoke with some of the leaders, who asked him to organize "as (Continued on page 6) subjects, including the ghetto interrupted again oy ivey. problem, the Vietnam war, Ivey said later that he just military service, and possible "...wanted to see what was alternatives to contemporary going on in front of the Marine American society. recruiting table.

At one point, Halsey asked "Other people were talking, Interviews Today For Student Posts to the University." Halsey and other students involved in the discussion were afraid that Ivey would misconstrue or misrepresent the situation, having missed most of the discussion. Halsey stressed his fear that certain statements made in Ivey's presence would be construed as anti-military. He said that while he disagrees with some aspects of the Vietnam War, he recognizes "the necessity of having the armed services..' Participants were also afraid that Ivey would portray the discussion as a "confrontation" of some sort They stressed that everyone involved, including students and Marines, maintained a calm and polite attitude...until Ivey's intrusion, which annoyed them. The Resurrection City refugees are still staying at the Community Church and are expected to remain in Chapel Hill through at least Thursday soliciting support for their cause.
