WASHINGTON (UPI)-Dwight David Eisenhower
34th President of the United States, hero general of
World War II and beloved "Ike" to millions of admirers
arqund the world, died in peace Friday after a 13-year
battle against heart disease.
The 78-year-old general of the Army died at 12:25
p.m. EST in the third-floor Presidential Suite of Walter
Reed Army General Hospital in northwest Washington,
where he had been confined since May 14.
His wife Mamie, his son John and his grandson David
and their wives were near his side. The hospital said "his
passing was peaceful and he experienced no distress."
President Nixon declared Monday a national day of
mourning and ordered the U.S. flag flown at half-staff
for 30 days in honor of the man he said "spoke with a
moral authority seldom equalled in American public
life."
His eyes red and his jaw set
grimly, Nixon took his family
to Walter Reed to pay his
respects to the family of the
man he served for eight years
as vice president. His daughter
Julie, David Eisenhower's wife,
already was there.
The Army announced plans
for a state funeral in
Washington. The funeral
service will be held at
Washington National
Cathedral. Eisenhower's body
will lie in state in the Capitol
Rotunda for 24 hours starting
Sunday, before it is borne by
train to his boyhood home of
Abilene, Kan., for burial
Wednesday at the Eisenhower
Museum and Library.
The end came quietly for
the warrior with the famous
grin who led allied forces to
victory against the Nazis in
Europe and then won two
terms in the White House, in
1952 and 1'956, by popular
vote margins unequalled in size
by any presidential candidate
before his time.
Brig. Gen. Frederic Hughes,
Walter Redd commander,
reported at 8:30 a.m. that
Eisenhower's condition had
"considerably worsened"
before dawn. At 10:15 a.m., he
said the general's course

Student Legislature
Ihursday night provided for a
constitutional referendum
which, if passed, would pave
the way for legislation to
establish voting districts for
black students to elect their
own representatives to Men's

The referendum would also

the referendum was passed by to legislature has disassociated
himself from the majority of
black students," Cof field said.
"If he had not done this he
wouldn't have been elected."
Coffield said a black
elections district did not mean
a different code of honor for
blacks and whites.
"It only means that we
think racial motivations can
sometimes influence white
judges in judging a black
student," Coffield said. "The
key to a working honor system
is confidence. Black students
do not have confidence in the
present system."

One spokesman for the
a 20-3 roll call after a motion
for reconsideration. The
proposal failed at last week's
meeting.
Rep. Charles Jeffress said
the referendum would not
establish black court districts;
it would only allow the
legislature to set them up if it
so desired.
Rep. Joe Beard, who led the
fight to stop the resolution last
week, charged the purpose of
the amendment was clear
discrimination.
"If you suggest that because
of a man's race he will have a
different standard of honor,"
Beard said, "you have made
ridiculous the idea of having an
integrated university which
treats everyone the same."
Rep. Mark Evens moved
privileges of the floor for BSM
co-chairman Juan Coffield. The
body consented.
Coffield said black students
do not feel they can always get
a fair trial in all white courts.
Beard countered that

Beard asked if Negro
students would not be racially
biased toward Negroes on trial.
"Many may have become so
because of mistreatment by
whites, but I think they will
try to be fair," Coffield said.
"And I want to make
something clear before we go
any further. We're talking
about black students, not
Negroes. Black students should
be called black because that's
what they want."
Rep. Ken Starling disagreed
with Beard's statement that a
black court district was
contrary to
Constitution.
"The student courts here are
like a jury," Starling said.
"Discretion has been allowed
in jury selection to guarantee
trial by peers."
Beard said discrimination in
jury selection was illegal.
'The ruling was against such
discrimination," Beard said,
"not for it. The purpose of this
bill is illegal."
When the legislature
approved the resolution, Beard
stormed from the chamber and
slammed the door. Several
legislators applauded his exit.
The date for the
constitution referendum will
be set by the Elections Board.

Slater, Workers
Negotiate Monday
GREENSBORO (UPI)-The
Ara Slater food service stood
firm Firday on its pledge to
negotiate Monday night with
striking cafeteria workers at
the University of North
Carolina at Greensboro, but
not before.
Student support for
workers, who began the strike
Thursday, grew after the
student legislature passed a
resolution Thursday night in
support of their demands.
Chancellor James S.
Ferguson promised that the
administration of the
University "will exert every
effort to promote" an early
settlement of the dispute. '
Slater, which operates the
campus cafeteria, has agreed to
raise the minimum pay for
their workers from $1.40 to
$1.80 per hour, but will not
negotiate the other demands
before Monday.
On Wednesday of next
week, the students will go
home for Easter vacation and
will not return until April 10.
The cafeteria will be closed
during that period.
Slater issued a statement
Friday saying there was no
basic change in the stnKe
situation."

Students flooded the
cafeteria at lunch time in a

psychiatrist's point of view.

proposed changes in current

He also took the
opportunity to voice some

"I think the paper has lost
prestige in the eyes of the
students this year because of
slanted coverage which has
been rather apparent in the
news."
"I hope," Cohen said, "that
by eliminating this slant we can
restore credibility and prestige
to the paper. We will try to be
as objective as possible in
reporting the news, and we will
try to get all points of view in
each story as well as presenting
as many sides of the academic
community as possible."
For improving the paper, the
new editor declared, "I would
like to see regular coverage of
fraternities, sororities and
residence colleges by assigning
reporters to the beats and by
having presidents and
governors keep us informed of
activities. Perhaps we could run
a weekly schedule of upcoming
activities on Sundays.
"I would also like more
periodic coverage of arts by
'experts,' not merely
journalists. We will have more
diverse opinions presented on
the editorial page by having
conservative, radical, moderate
and satirist views. The editorial
board will decide on its
opinions by majority, but the
editor will have final say on all
opinions."
Cohen urged everyone
interested in working on the
paper to inquire at the DTH
office after Easter.

and other benefits.
Officials of Slater said they
still planned to meet with
strikers Monday night to
negotiate the demands.
But the workers issued a
statement saying, "we have
organized a central committee
prepared to negotiate with Ara
Slater whenever they are
prepared to meet our demands.
"By prepared, we mean that
they agree to meet them," the
statement said.
just as community health
centers deal with mental health
problems.
According to Dr. Menninger,
90 percent of all crimes are
non-violent and most violent
crimes occur within the family
between husband and wife or
mother and child.
Crimes, he said, are acts of
deperation committed by
people who have no one to call
for help, such as a friendly
policeman.
For the first time in twenty
years a dance will be held for
graduating seniors.
Charlie Farris, Senior Class
president, N announced the
dance is scheduled for Friday,
April 18 in the Great Hall of
the Carolina Union, from 9
p.m. to 1 a.m.
Farris has arranged for the
Alpacas ("a good all-around
group") to play for the black
tie affair. There ' will be no
admission charge for seniors
and their dates.
Special invitations have also
been issued to certain members
of the faculty and
administration.
"We consider this dance to
be the crowning achievement
of our senior year . . . the
culmination of a really good
year," said Farris.
"We've worked hard in
planning this dance and hope
the seniors will take advantage .
of it as this will be their last
opportunity to get together
before graduation," he added.
Commenting on the Senior
Class gift, the scholarship fund,
Farris said $2800 has been
contributed or pledged toward
the $5000 goal.
Class officers are continuing
to solicit contributions from
local as well as state
organizations. Each senior is
asked to give at least one dollar
toward this "ambitious
project."
