WASHINGTON (AP) President
Carter will call for the registration of
women for the military draft, White
House officials said Thursday.
The president probably will limit
registration to persons 19 and 20, though
full details were not made available.
The White House scheduled an
announcement for Friday detailing the
president's plans for the entire draft
registration program.
The president's proposal, disclosed by
officials who asked not to be identified, is
a sharD break with historical precedent. It
will be the first time that a president has
suggested registering women for the
draft.
Carter decided to include women in the
program despite a warning from House
Speaker Thomas P. O'Neill that it would
not pass the Congress.
In a related development, the
Canadian government does not want to
harbor U.S. draft dodgers in the event of
a renewed draft, and would put them at
the bottom of the immigration priority
list, Foreign Minister Flora MacDonald
says.
MacDonald said Wednesday the
Progressive Conservative government is
not considering any legal changes to bar
United States citizens from Canada in the
OTHAndy James
event they do not want to join the U.S.
armed forces.
However, bureaucratic methods in
place now would be used to discourage
draft dodgers from coming to Canada,
she said, as thousands did in the 1960s
and early 1970s to avoid fighting in the
Vietnam war.
"Given the number of people who want
to come here, they wouldn't be given top
priority," Miss MacDonald said in a
telephone interview from Winnipeg.
Immigrants are judged on a point scale
that takes into
consideration
various factors
such as language,
education, job
skills and family
connections.
Officials have
said that . any
change in these
factors would have
to come from
legislation or a
Cabinet order.
M acDonald said in
the interview:
"Nobody is talking along those lines."
Draft dodgers would be placed on the
bottom of entry lists after "people who

Carter
have been waiting for a long time an
awful lot of people," the foreign minister
said.
Carter announced plans last month in
his State of the Union message to resume
draft registration, citing an increasing
military threat from the Soveit Union.
In recent weeks. Carter's decision has
been foreshadowed by statements from
administration officials and the
president's wife. Rosalynn, who urged
registration of
women.
Currently, there
are about 150,000
women in the
military out of a
force of more than
2 million.
However, women
still are banned by
law from combat.
Carter currently
has the authority
to register men
aged 18-26 and is
asking Congress
for an additional $ 10 million to begin the
program.
The Selective Service has said it needs a
O'Neill
pool of about 4 million or 5 million
persons for registration purposes. There
are approximately 8 million men and
women between the ages of 18 and 20.
However, there have been indications
that a proposal to register women would
be controversial on Capitol Hill. Most
members of the House and Senate Armed
Services Committees, which would
consider the proposal initially, have said
they favor registration of men only. They
contend that since the military needs
persons to fill combat positions,
registration of women is unnecessary.
Women's groups have split on the
issue. Many oppose registration of either
sex, but say women must be included if
such a program is undertaken. Other
women's leaders have flatly opposed
registration in any form.
O'Neill said Thursday that he told the
president earlier this week at a leadership
meeting that "he will have a rocky road
ahead if he recommends registering
women."
Sen. Nancy Landon Kassebaum, R
Kan., the only woman in the Senate, said
in a statement that she understands
Carter will split the issues so that
Congress will be able to approve
renewing registration for men but reject
including women.

...Pair were a part of Terrapins' 70-69 win Thursday night

Choice of Fordham unconfirmed

COLLEGE PARK, Md. It
wasn't much of a birthday present for
Mike O'Koren.
Instead, it was Lefty Driesell that
was acting like a little kid with a new
toy.
The Maryland coach, known for his
courtside antics was back to his old
tricks Thursday night after his
Terrapins held off a last-second
attempt by North Carolina for a 70-69
victory that all but assured the Terps
of the Atlantic Coast Conference
regular season title.
With three seconds left on the clock,
the Tar Heels forced a Maryland
turnover at the UNC end of the court.
After a Terp timeout, Jimmy Black
inbounded the ball toward John
Virgil, but Maryland's Albert King
reached around and knocked the pass
away. Time ran out before Carolina
recovered the ball.
On the way off the court a jubilant
Driesell and a member of the Carolina
coaching staff, assistant coach Roy
Williams, had words for each other.
Wiljiams shouted "grow up" to
Driesell as the screaming, elated Terp
coach ducked into the lockerroom.
It typified the 1 1 years of frustration
for Driesell, who had seldom defeated
Carolina in his tenure at Maryland
and had never beaten the Tar Heels
twice during a regular season. It also
showed the frustration of the Carolina
team after it had fought back from an
11-point deficit midway through the
second half.
With the score 56-45 with 12:51 left,
Carolina called time and, after
Maryland could not inbound the ball
within five seconds, ran off eight
straight points to cut the margin to
three with 6:19 remaining.
UNC was able to cut the Maryland
lead to one on several occasions in the
last five minutes but each time was
thwarted three times by King and
never had a chance to go ahead until
the final play of the game.
"We had a screen set for Al Wood,"
Carolina head coach Dean Smith said
of the final play. "But they (Maryland
players) held him with their arms
inside. Dave Colescott set the screen
then popped up high.
"Virgil was our third option and he
was fouled by someone coming over
his back " Smith said. "Now that's a'
foul in my eyes. It would have been
nice to have a veteran official
underneath. That's a rough call to
make in the last two seconds."
Carolina took the opening tap and
went right to work, jumping out to as
much as an eight-point lead in the first
half, up 19-1 1 at the 13:58 mark.
But a Buck Williams turnaround
jump shot down low, followed by his
steal at the Carolina end, started the
Terps on an eight-point run to tie the
score.

UNC President William C. Friday
would neither confirm nor deny rumors
that he will nominate UNC Vice
Chancellor for Health Affairs
Christopher C. Fordham 111 for the
chancellorship when the Board of
Governors meets today.
In a report published Thursday
afternoon, a "well informed" source told
the press that Friday had chosen
Fordham over the other two candidates
for the position Joel Fleishman, vice
chancellor of Duke University, and
Edward T. Foote II, dean of the
Washington University School of Law in
St. Louis, Mo.
"1 would do violence to the proceedings
if I told the name before I presented it (to
the Board of Governors)," Friday said.
"The law says I have to make a single
recommendation to the Board' of
Governors. I will be making my
recommendation (today), and I hope the
board will confirm it."
Friday said earlier this week he had
denied a report by WCHL Radio that
Fleishman was his choice for the
chancellorship, but he would not deny
reports concerning Fordham.
"1 can't answer all the rumors," he
said.
The UNC Board of Governors meets at
9:30 a.m. today in the UNC General
Administration Building. At that time,
Friday will announce his choice to the 32
member board, which must approve the
recommendation.
Board of Governors Chairman
William A. Johnson said he had received
no official word from Friday concerning
his choice.
"We've seen all kinds of things in the
papers the last few days, but I don't listen
to rumors," he said. "I would suspect that
the Board will take favorable action on
Friday's recommendation, whoever it
may be, but 1 don't know that for sure."
Fordham, a native of Greensboro,
received his certificate in medicine from
UNC in 1949 and his M.D. from Harvard
in 1 95 1. He became an instructor in
medicine at UNC in 1958, was assistant
professor of medicine 1960-1964, and was
associate professor of medicine, 1964
1968. He was assistant dean of the medical
school, 1965-1968; associate dean for
Christopher Fordham, III
clinical sciences, 1968-1969, professor of
medicine 1968-1971, and dean of the
school of medicine from 197 1 -1 979. He
has served as vice chancellor for health
affairs since 1977.

ections Board certifies referendum votin

The Student Elections Board certified a constitutional
referendum Thursday guaranteeing the Graduate and
Professional Student Federation 15 percent of the
student activities fees paid by graduate and professional
students.
In a closed meeting, the board voted 10-to-2 with
one member abstaining in favor of certifying the
referendum, which passed Tuesday by a student body
vote of 2,105 to 956, said F. Scott Simpson, Elections
Board chairman.
Simpson said the board, basing its decision on
observations made during Tuesday's election, decided
three complaints filed with the board charging election
irregularities did not affect the outcome of the
referendum vote.
The complaints, filed Wednesday by graduate student
Brad Lamb, charged defacement of campaign materials
inRosenau Hall, misrepresentation of election issues by
supporters of the referendum and political solicitation
near ballot boxes. Lamb charged that a poster was
within 50 feet of the medical school ballot box, a
violation of the Student Government Code.
However, because complaints have been submitted, a
public hearing must be held to determine whether a
violation of the election bylaws has occurred, according
to student elections law.
Lamb will present his charges to the Elections Board
at a hearing scheduled for 7 p.m. today in Suite C of the
Carolina Union.
After certifying Tuesday's election, the board also
received complaints from several Campus Governing
Council members. The complaints charge:
The Elections Board did not publicize the location
and hours of all polling places three days prior to the
election as required by elections law.
The Elections Board did not allow off-campus,
undergraduate students to vote at three new polling
sites Roseneau Hall, Kenan Laboratories and
Hamilton Hall. Only graduate students were allowed to
vote at these polls.
The Flections Board failed to correct the voting
discrimination at the new polling sites the day of the
election, even though it was notified of the violation
during the election.
These complaints also will be heard at the public
hearing Friday night.
The board will hear the charges from complaintants
and defendants. GPSF will present a defense against the
charges, Simpson said.
After hearing from both parties, the board must
decide whether to uphold its certification or reverse its
action, Simpson said.
There is no time stipulation on when the board must
reach its decision.
"But in eithercasc, whatever decision is made after the
public hearing, it is inevitable someone w ill take us to the

The recruitment of more blacks to work in Student
Government was the main issue at a student body candidates
forum held Thursday in Great Hall of the Carolina Union.
Approximately 100 persons attended the forum, during which
candidates for student body president, The Daily Tar eeeditor
and Carolina Athletic Association president spoke and answered
questions.
Questioning of student body presidential candidates centered
on the controversial Long Report, which calls for a UNC office
of minority and disadvantaged affairs and a black assistant to the
chancellor. The report was released by a committee investigating
charges made last year by Hayden B. Renwick, an associate dean
in the College of Arts and Sciences, who said that the University
discriminates in its recruitment of black students.
"More than an office of minority affairs, the students need to
do something," said Clive Stafford Smith, student body
president candidate. "We can do anything we like without having
our tenure revoked."
Smith said he would like to see white students made more
aware of blacks on campus. This could be accomplished through
efforts such as wider campus distribution of The Black Ink, the
Black Student Movement newspaper, he said.
"We have to have more black people involved in Student
Government," Smith said. "Not just the BSM, but all blacks on
campus. I am committed to that."
Presidential candidate Kevin Garrity said he would improve
upon policy set by current Student Body President J. B. Kelly. He
said he would try to improve the channels of communication
between the BSM and the student body president.

A change of heart
Former Kit Klux Klan member discusses
decision to ivork with black organization
By DAVID TEACUE
Staff Writer
C. P Ellis rose to the podium at last
week's civil rights teach-in with a serious,
disturbed look on his face, and said,
"Before you stands a very confused man."
"I'm confused," he continued, "because
I'm Baptist, yet I still curse. I'm confused
because I used to be with the Klan, but
now I work for a predominantly black
union. I still have a soft spot in my heart
for many Klan members, though. If
anyone can tell me what's wrong with me
after this talk, I'd appreciate it."
Ellis tfien began to recount the story of
his entrance into the Klan and the events
that led to his departure and his work
with the International Union of
Operating Engineers, which is about 70
percent black.
His story not only attracted the
audience, but has also attracted the
attention of Studs Turkel, a well-known
historical author and book critic. Turkel
recently completed a book dealing with
Ellis and his leaving the Klan, entitled An
American Dream: Lost and Found. The
book will be published soon, and plans
already are underway to turn the book
into a movie.
Ellis learned of the Klan from his
father, who was a Klan member. "I
remember him saying to me early that
blacks, Jews and Catholics were to be
hated." Ellis said.
"My family life had a lot to do with my
involvement with the Klan. My dad was a
textile worker and we were very poor. 1
remember going to school and being
laughed at because of my dress. Through
the years I began to feel inferior, that
there was something wrong with me."
These feelings of inferiority, Ellis said,
caused him to develop deep feelings of
hate, which he directed toward the most
visible targets blacks and many radical
and religious groups.
In the early 1960s, Ellis joined the Klan
in Durham. One and a half years later,
Ellis became president of the group.
"At that time, I really didn't know what
I wanted," he said. "The Klan gave me
some sense of standing in the community.
1 was being recognized as a human; 1 felt
like I was contributing."
Under Ellis's leadership, the Klan
became much more visible in Durham.
They became stronger and began going
public on more issues. "When I first went
in I didn't like all the secrecy." Ellis said.
"I told the Klan that if we wanted to get
things done, we had to go out and do it."
Not only did public support for the
Klan grow but many Durham public
officials were also in support of Klan
operations. This, however, was kept
secret.
"I remember many times before a city
council meeting, the chairman would call
me and ask me and some of my men to
come down with our guns when blacks
were demanding their rights." Ellis said.
"He wanted us to sort of -balance things
out. If he saw me on the street, though,
he'd cross over and act like he didn't
know me."
This event was one of the first that led
Ellis to have second thoughts about his
position with the Klan. The final decision
came when he was asked by the Durham
city council to come listen to an AFL
ClO sponsored program dealing with
community participation and
ioegration.
I'm confused because I
used to be with the Klan,
but now I work for a
predominantly black
union. ..I began to see
that (blacks') feelings
were the same as mine.'
