Seventy-five persons were arrested
Monday for violating parade ordinances
as they began what was to be a week-long
march from Greenville to Raleigh to
protest alleged police brutality in Ayden.
The Ayden protests stemmed from the
killing of a black farm laborer in Ayden
by highway patrolman Billy Day. Day
was acquitted by a coroner's report and
an investigation by the State Bureau of
Investigation.
United Press International (UPI)
reported police arrested the protestors as
they emerged from a Catholic church
carrying signs which read "Fire Billy
Day" and "Lnd Police Brutality." The

release from the hospital.
"His arm and leg have been numb
because the muscles and nerves were
severed, but the feeling is gradually
coming back," she said.
Harper, a freshman at the University
last year, was taking this year off to work
when the accident occurred. He was
employed at Triangle Porsche-Audi this
fall.
Mrs. Harper said he is thinking about
taking correspondence courses while he is
recovering but is waiting to see how much
damage was done and how long the
healing will take.
He rests a lot when he is at home but
is still able to enjoy going out with his
friends, she said.
"He is doing as well as anyone in his
circumstances could," Mrs. Harper said.
"His morale is good, and he hopes he w ill
be better in a couple of months."

The final draft of the new University
policy on the use of electrical appliances
in residence halls was released Monday by
Robert Kepner, director of Residence
Life.
The new policy, developed after a
thorough survey by a private engineering
firm of the electrical capability of each
residence hall, goes into effect
Wednesday.
Kepner said the new policy represents
a significant departure from the old
policy but does not indicate that all
restrictions on the use of electrical
appliances in the residence halls have
been abandoned.
Results of the survey revealed the
University residence halls could be
divided into three categories:

unrestricted use of most tpes of
electrical appliances is safely permissible:
- those in which the Use of cooking and
heating applicances. because of their high
electrical draw, must be restricted for the
safety of the residents: - those in which
severe restrictions must be imposed
because of the low electrical capability of
the residence halls concerned.
The first category includes South
Campus dorms. Lower Quad dorms. Old
East, Old West and the new section of
Spencer.
Students living m these dorms are
permitted to use electrical appliances of
any variety as long as the total wattage of
all electrical applicances in use at one
time in a room does not exceed 1.00
watts, with a wattage restriction of 1.000
on any single appliance.

As brinks was taken into custody, he
handed newsmen statements that read:
"Coastal-Piedmont marchers were

leave St. Gabriel's church to go to
Raleigh, the seat of government.
"Tomorrow we will march again."
The arrests Monday are the latest in a
series of protests since the August 6
killing of a farm laborer in Pitt County.
More than 800 persons have been
arrested, including 25 students from UNC
two weeks ago for violating the parade
ordinance in Ayden.
The students reported that the

of Spencer are in the second category.
Students living in these dorms are
permitted to use a maximum of only 600
watts. This restriction prohibits the use of
hotplates, broilers, toaster, popcorn
poppers and heaters in these dorms.
In addition, refrigerators used in these
buildings must be restricted to those of
normal running wattage of less than 100
watts.
Whitehead is the only dorm in the last
category and will continue to operate
under the restrictions of the old policy
until emergency rewiring is undertaken.
After rewiring. Whitehead will be
included in the first category.
A final regulation of the policy
prohibits the use of electrical appliances,
except for electric razors and
toothbrushes, in residence hall
bathrooms.
Kepner emphasized that limitations on

categories are not imposed arbitrarily but
to protect the safety of the residents
Kepner said the policy states that
"students should know the wattage of
each appliance they own" and "should
use them sequentially rather than
together at the same time."
Copies of the policy and a list of
wattage requirements of common
appliances will be posted on residence
hall bulletin boards, Kepner said.
According to Kepner, the University
will become aware of violations when
electrical problems, such as blown fuses,
arise on a circuit.
In such instances, said Kepner, the
rooms on the circuit will be inspected to
determine the cause of the electrical
problem. Possession of illegal electrical
appliances may lead to removal of the
appliances and a S20 fine.
