the students.

a window," one of them said. "I knew
something was up. ! ifteen minutes later,
a white hand came through the window
and started squirting us."
The 25 UNC students were charged
with violating an Ayden town ordinance
for parading without a permit.

More than 4,100 students went through the Office
of Records and Registration at Hanes Hall Monday to
turn in their spring preregistration forms.
Ben Perry, assistant director, said there were few
problems. 'The day went smoothly." he said.
"The lines were long, but they moved quickly," he
said. "We opened the doors at 7:15 a.m. in order to
process the forms more quickly."
Perry said the rumor was that students had been
waiting outside in their sleeping bags since 1 1 p.m.

It is rumored that a number of students were in line for
preregistration at 11 p.m. Sunday night. This student
apparently was one of those who felt perhaps he ought to get
y h.ks to protest alleged police brutality.
The Pitt County protests stemmed from
the Aug. (j slaving of a black farm laborer

Day was acquitted of criminal charges
by a coroner's inquest and investigation
by The Stte bureau of Investigation
(SBI).

Bond for Pitt County residents arrested
ranged from S200 to $600.
The maximum penalty for violation of
the Ayden ordinance is a $50 fine.
"They took us in, frisked us
completely, took all of our possessions,
including cigarettes, and took our
picture," said one student. "They took
the girls to Tarboro and the guys to
Ayden and Farmville.
"They never told us our constitutional
rights, and it was six hours before many
of us could make our phone call."

The L'NC coeds also said they received
better treatment than any of the black
girls.
"The blacks wouldn't believe it when
we got new sheets and pillows." one
white coed said. "They had been there
before and said it was never like that."
The men taken to Ayden reported no
physical abuse but charged numerous
incidents of verbal abuse. "They
threatened to shave our heads in the
morning," one said, "and when we asked
for our one phone call, they told us the
phone was out of order."
Most of the students who went to
Ayden were recruited during a rally and
speech held here last Wednesday by civil
liberties attorney Jerry Paul and Golden
Frinks. field secretary for the Southern
Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC)

Perry said the number of students preregistering
Monday was larger than usual. He expects about
2,500 students to preregister today and a slowly
dwindling number to preregister the rest of the week.
The total number of students to preregister,
according to Perry, will be about 12,000. This figure
excludes the professional schools, which are
automatically preregistered.
The preregistration advising period will continue

voter conference

A nationwide Emergency Conference
for New Voters has been called by the
National Association of Student
Governments for Dec. 3-5.
The conference, open to all students,
will be held at Loyola University in
Chicago.
"The purpose of the conference is for
student leaders to learn the mechanics of
how to become delegates to the national
conventions and have a part in choosing
the two nominees and their party's
platforms," said Joe Stallings, student
body president.
Lacy Presnell, chairman of the UNC
State Affairs Committee, added, "The
emphasis is on selecting delegates to the
national conventions from the precinct
through the state levels."
Stallings is serving as a member of the
steering committee for the convention.
Other student body presidents serving on
the committee are from Harvard
University, Indiana University, the
University of Florida and the University
of California at Berkeley.
He is also a member of a sponsoring
committee of 100 student body
presidents who have endorsed the
conference and will attend.

school for North Carolina. Presnell is

In his Monday night speech, "The
Search for Man," he said, "Man must go
beyond fear to find humanity. There are
two aspects of man's search.
"One is for the fossil road through the
past along which man has struggled, and
second is the far more difficult task of
determining what man is or what he has
become."
He said anthropology is often spoken
of as the science of man. "It would be

state, contacting student leaders and
encouraging the students to attend the
conference.
"We want to stimulate people through
this conference to become active in the
party structure of the party of their
choice," Presnell said. "It is a nonpartisan
conference."
"The conference is for all students
who are committed to working through
the electoral process but who feel
students' inputs should be substantive
rather than symbolic," Stallings said,
adding:
"The important thing is for students
to have input not only in electing one of
the two choices through their votes but
also to have a part in choosing the two
final choices and platforms."
Any students interested in attending
should contact Presnell or Stallings in
Suite C, Student Union, at 933-5201 or
933-5202. A meeting for students wishing
to help with the State Af fairs Committee
will be at 4 p.m. Wednesday in Stallings'
office.
"We need the names of students who
will attend soon so we can make
arrangements with Loyola University,"
Stallings said.
Car pools will be arranged by Presnell
and Stallings. There is no registration fee
for the conference and housing will be
provided free of charge.

be a children's room and a Greek room.
A new feature this ear is an Indian
Pavilion, which will have authentic
Indians talking to the students and selling
their wares. A pamphlet explaining the
Indian handcrafts may be available for
students at a nominal cost.
Bland Brne and Nancy Haigler are in
charge of the bazaar. Byrne urged
students to come to the bazaar to meet
some of the native craftsmen.

said, "anymore than one civilization can
represent the full scope of possible
human activity."
Eiseley said man is a "crisis animal"
because he has found his way through
barriers such as the Ice Age. On the other
hand, man is also a "crisis-creating
animal" in his ability to destroy, alter o:
manipulate both his natural anJ social
environment impossible for animals, he
said.
"We have come to fear our verv ability

"Archaeology has given us the power to

Eiseley said man should examine the
past to learn from it. "To know the pa-t

"Nothing is more brutal than the man
who does not know he is a shadow, who
does not realize how small a poini he
occupies in time.
"There should be a kind of tolerarue
that comes with the informed mind." he
said, "a humanity that emerges from a
know ledge of human wav faring fhrout-h
the ages."
Eiseley said all great religions have one
thing in common --"a search for spiritual
improvement, a heightening of our
humanity." He described this as man's
final and true search for himself.
"Man must learn to go bevond fear
and find the way to his own humanity
Only so can he be said to have discovered
man," he said.
Eiseley, a native of Nebraska, received
the Lecomte du Nouy Award and the

Philadelphia Arts Festival. In VH1 , he
won the Philadelphia Art Alliance Award
