Evens has served in Student Legislature for the past two years, this year as floor leader. Last year he co-sponsored the controversial drug bill that called for an end to student court prosecution of those arrested for drug possession or usage. Evens also sponsored measures abolishing underclassman officers and removing visitation violations from students' records. Concerning his campaign platform, Evens said one proposal he favors is the creation of a student consumer services committee. Among the duties of such a group would be legal aid, "to counsel students for any reason"; execution of the bus system, "hopefully to be funded by the administration, or at least by a ticket system for a low yearly rate"; operation of refrigerator rentals, "to work for abolishing the quota system"; and an information center on birth control, "something along the line of the ECOS project." Evens explained the services committee would inform students quickly and easily on a wide variety of topics. Evens discussed his views on the residential college system. "We must work to make them v y 1 ri L J Li I more coed," he remarked. Evens suggested new approaches to coed dorms, such as separating men and women residents by wings instead of floors. On the subject of SL, Evens stressed the importance of informed legislators. He suggested that legislators remain on campus a week after spring exams and return during fall orientation to become better acquainted with their roles. "The key to effective student government is strong leadership," Evens noted. "I know I can provide this leadership." Bocrv 'Graz' Film Show Dr. Joseph L.

C.H.H.S.; Editor's note: The following article is the last of a three-part series concerning desegregation in the Chapel Hill school system. Staff Writers Harry Bryan and Greg Lloyd interviewed the superintendent of schools, city school employes and both black and white students to compile the sequence. By HARRY BRYAN and GREG LLOYD DTH Staff Writers (last in a series) In the first two articles concerning the desegregation Wailing CT TVO o me Arrestee! By HENRY H INKLE DTH Staff Writer About three hundred people participated in an afternoon rally and march yesterday to protest the Chicago riot conspiracj' trial and other instances of political repression. After the march 125 people attended a discussion by a panel of lawyers on the legality of the trials. The march, however, was marred when some participants and three men, apparently students, clashed on the path by Saunders Hall. A warrant for assault with a deadly weapon was later sworn out against Mike Fassino, a student, by one of the student marchers, Randal Scott. Scott claimed Fassino struck him with the mast of a Vietcong banner that Fassino grabbed from a marcher. The march ended with a brief rally in front of the city police station which turned into a shouting match between the demonstrators and members of the Young Americans for Freedom (YAF). The demonstration was connected with other rallies which have been held across the U.S. this week to protest the Chicago trial and political repression. After a rally at the Pit, the participants lined up three and four abreast and began the march up the paths in Polk Place to Cameron Avenue. Fassino and the two others approached the marchers from the western side of Polk Place. An onlooker reported one of the three as saying, "Let's wait until they get up here." A few seconds later the fight started, which two city policemen stationed nearby broke up in about three minutes. Fassino gave himself up to one of the policemen after the fight, but the policeman James Carrington, told Fassino, "I didn't see anything." When some of the marchers told Carrington they would press charges against the alleged attackers, Fassino and one of his companions, William Hackney, were taken to the police station. Blacks In An Identity Crisis of Chapel Hill schools, it has been shown that the Chapel Hill school system has had a comparably easy desegregation since it achieved "total racial balance" three years ago. It has also been shown that although problems do exist, administrators are working hard to solve them. However, the students have been purposely neglected in the two articles so that the last of the series could be devoted to them. What do the students think? They are as divided over the question of how well or how m i w 'V 5 ! f. VU the only problem with jf7 1 n 71 Fassino posted $50 bond and was released. A warrant has not been sworn out against Hackney. The third person, who left the area after the scuffle, has not been identified. As the marchers prepared to leave the police station a heckler called out to rally marshal John Wheeler, "You all are for law and order when you want to protect yourselves." More heckling began from the handful of onlookers. Blue's Hat In Ring For Vice-President Student Legislator Bill Blue announced his candidacy for vice-president of the student body today on the University Party ticket. "I am running because I would like to see revitalization in the present situation," said the sophomore, Ehringhaus legislator who has also served on the Men's Honor Court. "There is stagnant bureaucracy in Student Legislature. Since the '30's there has been little change in the format or the traditional procedures." Blue stated he wants concrete legislation such as a 24-hour visitation system seven days a week, "completely free busing" for South Campus whkh he feels would especially benefit the freshmen who do not have cars, and a "streamlined committee system." On Daily Tar Heel funding, Blue stated that to withdraw funds would "surely kill it." Having served on the committee investigating the funding, he said this campus needs a campus newspaper for students. Blue said he will campaign for more student involvement in Student Legislature and on campus. "We need to attack the apathy on campus, primarily through publicizing information about what student legislature is doing. badly the desegregation has gone as the adults. The statement that shows the overall feeling of the student body was made by a white girl when she said, "It's desegregation, not integration. " Students aren't concerned with busing (possibly because the problem never really existed), black studies, 'rights," or many other discussed issues. However, they are very much concerned with the interaction of the students and the toss of identity by the htiing nil 7! o 9 IT er ! J David Aycock. head of the YAF chapter here, then called out.

The panel di-usuon. which was held in the Student Union, included Bam- Nakell, Dan Pollit and Laughlin McDonald, all UNC Law professors, and Walter Dellinger, a religion professor at Duke. Nakell traced the government's dealings with the Black Panther Party, Bill Blue t tr 'The president of the student body could exert more pressures for more needed improvements and reforms if he had the support of the student body." There should also be increased communication on the local level between the students and their legislatke representatives. Blue added. "More students would be involved in student government if they knew how to become involved." The legislative representative should be this informing voice. "There is a great deal we can do to revitalize student government. There are many opportunities and a great reservoir of talent here." black students. One black student remarked there has been a loss of identity by the blacks, that despite the black-white split in the student body, the black student does not feel he is a part of the school. One of his major complaints was white teachers do not spend -as much time with black students as they do with white students. This statement was counteracted by a white girl, though, who pointed out the teachers had not only neglec ted the black students, but all students in general. Another criticism of the faculty was it has not done anything to get the black and white students to mix. "The administration hasn't done anything to get us together," another black boy said. "All they've done is put us in class together." "They threw us together when we didn't want to be together," a black girl remarked. "We have a better opportunity to get a better education in the white school, but I would still have two separate schools." However, two white students seemed to feel it is not the administration's fault that blacks and whites do not mix. "The administration can't do much more th;n put people together in classes," one said. "It's the attitudes of the rtudtnts that keep us from comir.g together.
