4 The Daily Tar Heel Wednesday. September 23. 1976 Shopping by Phred Vultee Staff Writer Step right up, folks, here it is. No jostling please; everybody will get a turn. Here's your chance to get some of it back. It's time to play a little game. Here is an opportunity to regain some of the grocery money, some of the late hours beer funds spent over the last year. Granted, the odds are not so good, but it's closer than Nevada and doesn't require the initial investment of your shirt. Plus, the ultimate goal is the American- dream: something for nothing. You can play it any time you go to the supermarket. "Let's Go to the Races" is Big Star's version, while the A&P counters with the quaintly named' "Super Ca$h Bingo." They're both simple games, requiring nothing more difficult than opening a paper card and waiting with bated breath. But they seem to be drawing in the customers. . There is a line at Big Star's window after every televised race, a hopeful crowd waiting to check their cards against the winners. Expressions go rapidly from hopeful to dejected, and the pile of discarded slips grows in the Student support sought Group opposes execution by Mary Anne Rhyne Staff Writer Nineteen North Carolina organizations will seek the support of UNC students for their effort to prevent new death penalty legislation. The North Carolina Coalition Against the Death Penalty will organize the effort. Its major plans include a conference to initiate student efforts and plan strategy. The conference is scheduled for Oct. 9 at North Carolina A&T University in Greensboro. The conference is not so much for education as for planning strategy and firming up plans," said Alan McGregor, leader of the drive to gain student support. McGregor said the conference is vital in organizing against new state legislature candidates promising to push new death penalty legislation. The legislators hope to discuss the penalty in January. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled July 2 that the North Carolina mandatory death penalty law was unconstitutional. The Oct. 9 conference will include - workshops on legislative strategy, politics the death penalty, community education and organization and the death row experience. The Rev. Joe Ingle will be one of the featured speakers at the conference. Ingle is a Less gas not to Expected cutbacks in the state's natural gas supply will not affect the operations of the University because of back-up fuel supplies, according to Allen Waters, director of UNC Operations and Engineering. We are not in danger because we have always had gas cutbacks. This question of shortage comes up every year. "In the winter, we shift to coal and oil when we get a cutback (in natural gas)," Waters said. He said the weather situation affects the natural gas cutbacks. "Last winter, we were lucky because the weather was mild. It is too soon, to determine the amount of this winter's cutback at this time. The earliest that we can Bringing you up to date on the wonderful world of higher education, the October issue of PLAYBOY features our ever-popular Campus-Action Chart, showing where the collegiate fun is (and isn't) these days.

There are, however, some 4,710 winners in the state every week, and a few of them are skipping around Chapel Hill. You can spot them easily. The grin gets a little wider as they square their shoulders and march to the office to collect their winnings generally less than S10, but occasionally (just often enough to whet the interest) one of the . big $1000 cards turns up. This is cause for' general celebrationone of our number has won. Someone has beaten the capitalists at their own game. The rest will be back to spend and hope next week, but at least they know it can be done. , "Let's Go to the Races" is the more exciting game, partly because the illusion of involvement is greater. Maybe, with enough yelling and cheering, the horse that is in your $100 column will break out and win. Never mind that the show may have been taped a month ago and that number 7 (which you don't have) is getting ready for his dramatic come-from-behind victory. Your horse still might hold out. Just this once. After a little practice the winning horses are easy to pick. They are the ones nobody has on their tickets, the representative from the Southern Coalition on Jails and Prisons in Nashville, Tenn. He is considered an expert on the death penalty in the South, McGregor said. This is the second such conference the Coalition has sponsored. The first conference was held in May to initiate the Coalition's organizational efforts. The group hopes to organize students to begin a petition campaign. Students in Charlotte already have started a similar campaign but the Coalition hopes to extend the efforts. Volunteers will be needed to go door-to-door obtaining signatures on the petitions. A letter-writing campaign will also be organized at the conference. A 24-hour fast is planned for late October. McGregor said the fast will be a vigil to obtain signatures on petitions to ban the death penalty. The Coalition publishes literature which student groups may request for distribution.' A 15-minute film, "Cruel and Unusual Punishment" is also available to campus and community organizations. The film shows an actual execution. The Coalition is an organizational group j 19, individual organisations working against the penaltv as one of its activities. The Chapel Hill Peace Center and N.C. Civil Liberties Union are local members of the Coalition. disrupt UNC tell is usually November," Waters said. He said it was more convenient for the University to use natural gas because it is cheaper and easier to burn. "In having three fuel sources, the University has a flexible supply. If we have a cutback in gas, we will just use more coal and oil," Waters said. Waters said sizable cutbacks in gas were not anticipated. "We foresaw a very bad situation with just a gasoline source. As a result of our anticipating a future difficulty, we now have two additional fuel sources. "We can burn oil, gas and coal. And we feel comfortable," he said.

The show (aired Saturday evenings on WRAL-TV) is structured to give the appearance of realism, bolstering the flagging hopes of the faithful. Oddsmakers do their war dance, and the horses parade as if this were a real race and not a preplanned facsimile. Try as you might to recognize all this, it's almost impossible to avoid hollering "Come on, you godawful turkey, hold that seven-length lead!" He won't hell, you've got three of him in the $ 1 00 race and the odds are a little too high.

It begins to seem a little unlikely when you and all ypu friends have four identical rows of four in the $ 1000 game and you all need the same little button. Bingo also offers the Instant Winner1, a phenomenon unknown to horseplayers. If your button says "Instant Winner" you pick up your cash on the spot and spend 80 on a sixpack to celebrate. Such is life. The system reclaims its own. There are grocery stores (and cold hearted ones they must be, too) that refuse to engage in this type of activity. A pox on them! Their prices may be a little lower as a result, but they deny the public a great thrill. This weekly perusal of past races, this fevered scanning of Bingo cards is enough .o satisfy- me.
