counselors and live with the
students, who will be housed in
Morrison and Nurses.
Sixteen participants each are
being selected from West
Charlotte and Lumberton High
Schools.
Alexander said West
Charlotte was picked because
there are many highly qualified
black students there who
would never consider coming
to Carolina.
Alexander hopes this
program will change their,
minds by giviikg them a
thorough view of the
University.
Lumberton was chosen
because a considerable
percentage of its student body

elected to Student Legislature

history," according to NAACP

McBennet expressed his
willingness to extend the

has been from Monday through
Friday of this week every
afternoon from 1 to 5 p.m.
"I wouldn't think people
would have to be forced into
wanting to work with the
foreign student orientation.
People should realize that a
foreigner feels very out of
place at this university and it is
up to some of the students
here to make them feel at
home and get into the swing of
things not only from the
standpoint of UNC but also of
the United States."
McBennet said it is
important that students

A group of 242 UNC faculty
members sent a letter to Gov.
Bob Scott Thursday,
expressing their hope that he
would work through the
University administration in
any further efforts to curb
violence on the Chapel Hill
campus.
The letter praised the
"careful efforts of the
(university) administration to
right the injustices in pay and
working conditions among
university cafeteria
employees."
C.T. West, news secretary
for Gov. Scott, told the DTH
the governor had no comment
on
the letter. West said the
letter was received Thursday,
and its first signature was Dr.
W.L. Liley, Kennan Professor
of Romance Languages.
Dr. Wiley could not be
reached for comment late
Thursday. The names of other
professors who signed the
letter were unavailable.
Dr. Frederic Cleaveland,
chairman of the UNC faculty,
said he was not aware of any
letter sent to the governor.
The letter reportedly
expressed opposition to "all

Dr. Clark Kerr was fired by
Gov. Ronald Reagan as
president of the University of
California during the student
turmoil at Berkeley. Grayson

Columbia last August following
the student occupation of
campus buildings in April and
May.
Knight has been under fire
from one segment of Duke
alumni since the "Duke
Student Vigil" of 1968 when
students peacefully boycotted
classes and helped win job
improvements for the school's
non-academic employes.
Several hundred students
occupied Knight's home
overnight during that episode.
The criticism increased when
about 50 members of the Black
Student Movement seized and
held the central records section
of the main Duke
administration building Feb.
13. The students, seeking to
dramatize a list of "demands,"
left the building before police
arrived. Police used tear gas
and clubs, however, in a clash
with more than a thousand
white students outside the
building.
Charles B. Wade Jr. of
Winston-Salem, chairman of
the Board " of Trustees, said
Duke had made "superhuman"
demands on Knight.
