"The Young Klansmen UNC Chapter will hold an
organizational meeting at 7 p.m. Wednesday in the Pit. Bring
your own sheets," read a Tuesday Campus Calendar
announcement.
In response to the announcement, approximately 30 black
students and Student Body President Bob Saunders gathered
near the Pit Wednesday night. However, no one showed up
identifying himself as a member of the Young Klansmen.
Although some students saw the incident as a prank, others
said a number of threats made in the last few years against
black students gave them reason to believe some form of Ku
Klux Klan group exists on campus.
For instance, in the spring of 1979, black senior Stella Jones
wrote a letter to the editor of The Daily Tar Heel stating why
she felt Afro-American studies and the Black Student
Movement were needed on campus.
"After the first letter, I got phone calls at all times of the
night telling me if I kept on I would be in big trouble," Jones
said.
Despite the warnings, she later wrote a similar letter that was
printed on the day of a BSM march on South Building. A few
days later, a white male, who she said looked like a student,
walked into her dorm room and put a letter on her roommate's
bed.
"I thought he was there to see my roommate, but when he
left I saw the letter was for me," she said. "It said if we wanted
to see our ancestors we ought to go to Raleigh to the zoo."
The letter also said that it was her final warning, and it was
signed "the UNC Klansmen." "I didn't hear anything after
that," she said.
During the same time Jones was receiving phone calls, Sonja
Stone, a black UNC professor involved in appealing a negative
tenure decision, was getting similar calls. Once a person called
and made racist jokes, she said. Another time someone told
her he was glad she did not get tenure. Stone was granted
tenure this summer after a lengthy appeal.
"Dr. Stone and I did get the calls from the same people
because they called us the same name 'Grace, " Jones said.
She said she didn't know what the name referred to.
Stone, who is on a leave of absence while working at the
advance studies center at the National Centerf or Research and
Vocational Education at Ohio State University, said the people
who called her never said they were from the Klan.
..She said she did not publicize the incidents at the time
because she was afraid publicity would result in mere "talis."'
Both she and Jones, however, did contact the University
Police.
Referring to the recent Campus-Calendar announcement,
Stone said: "I think it was put in there as a joke, and it seems
to be consistent with the picture that was put in the Yack this
spring. (Both are) making something that we see as very
serious a joke."
Included in the 1979 Yackety Yack, UNC's yearbook, is a
picture of several white fraternity members enacting a
lynching. The one being lynched has his face blackened.

WASHINGTON (AP) Michael "Ozzie"
Myers, convicted of accepting a bribe in the FBI's
Abscam undercover operation, was expelled from
the House of Representatives Thursday, the first
congressman ousted by his colleagues since the
outbreak of the Civil War.
The vote to remove Myers was 396-30, easily
more than the two-thirds majority required.
Myers, the first coneressman convicted in the "
Abscam case, protested the action to the end, telling
House colleagues their action was tantamount to
execution.
"I know now what it feels like to sit on death
row. As you go to the voting machine, keep in mind
when you hit that button, that it will have the same
effect of hitting the button if I were strapped into
an electric chair," Myers told House members prior
to the vote.
Myers, calling the assembled House members "a
lynching mob," also said his expulsion .was being
considered too soon after his August conviction.
He compared his case to that of former Rep.
Charles Diggs, D-Mich., who was censured in the
House last year after his conviction on -charges of
mail fraud and misusing congressional funds.
"Nine and a half months after the jury's verdict,
the House ethics committee recommended censure
in the Diggs case," Myers said. "My timetable goes
back to Aug. 30, and by Sept. 4 the committee
opened its preliminary inquiry and soon after called
for my expulsion."
After the vote, Myers told reporters he was filing
a lawsuit against House Speaker Thomas P. O'Neill
and other House leaders for allowing the expulsion.
"They proceeded in violation of their own rules.
I feel very strongly that I wasn't given a fair trial. I
wasn't afforded time to present additional
evidence," Myers told reporters in the House press
gallery.
"On these grounds, we'll be going directly into
federal district court here in Washington and the
Supreme Court if necessary," Myers said.
The House followed its expulsion vote with voice
approval enabling the House clerk to take control
. of Myers' office until a new member is elected.
The Philadelphia Democrat, addressing the entire
House for the first time in his two terms, said before
the vote that he didn't "have a Chinaman's
chance" of avoiding expulsion.
"How any member can justify this severe action
without any consideration for the due process
argument is beyond me,'.' said Myers, whose appeal
on his bribery and conspiracy conviction is pendirg.
Myers' remarks came after the House voted
332-75 to defeat a resolution that would, have
delayed action on expulsion until Congress returns
from its election recess in November.
That vote followed two hours of debate on the
propriety of punishing Myers under election
campaign pressures and before exhaustion of his
legal appeals.
Myers is the first member of Congress to be
expelled since 1S51, when three border-state
congressmen were banished for joining the
Confederate Army.
Iranian paratroopers clash with Iraqi force
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) Iranian
paratroopers dropped into the besieged oil
port of Khorramshahr where Iranian forces
-were reported in hand-to-hand combat with'
Iraqi shock troops for control of the city,
Iran claimed Thursday.
In the 11th day of the war, with Iran
rejecting U.N. and Islamic peace efforts and
spurning Iraq's offer of a cease-fire,
President Abolhassan Bani-Sadr claimed a
string of victories and said Iraqi invaders
were being pushed back.
In a broadcast to his armed forces, Bani
S?dr called on Iranians to "escalate their
struggle" and announced the first use of
paratroopers in the war. He said waves of
Iranian jets launched attacks in support of
Iranian forces battling for Khorramshahr.
Tehran Radio said -Iran's parliament
named a seven-man committee to examine
the issue of 52 American hostages who were
in their 334th' day bf captivity Thursday.
According to the sources in Lebanon, four of
the committee members were hardliners
likely to oppose release of the hostages
without a trial.
There were reports that an Iraqi air attack
Tuesday heavily damaged a $3 billion Iranian
petrochemical complex under construction at
Bandar Khomeini on the shore of the Persian
Gulf. The report came from . Mitsui and
Co., the Japanese partner of Iran in the
project.
The war was marked by conflicting claims
from Tehran a.-d Baghdad on the gains made
and''damageinictdn7lheir respective
forces, but there was little authoritative
confirmation from the battlefront on the
'rival claims.
Sources close to the fighting reported from
the Iraqi oil port of Basra that although Iraq
seized hundreds of square miles of Iranian
territory, Iraq had failed to capture any
major city or achieve a decisive victory.
Fighting has centered on the two countries'
oil ports and refineries on the Shatt al-Arab
waterway. Heavy damage has been reported
and oil exports of both countries have been
cut off, reducing by about 4 million barrels a
day the oil available to Western importers.

'tzvidereir lives out fantasies-
By JONATHAN SMYLIE
Stsff Writer
"I want to live the fantasies Joni Mitchell sings about.
And on my 25th birthday I want to be sitting in a little cafe
in Paris drinking a bottle of 1S69 Rothschild wine and have
an attractive woman beside me."
This is how 24-year-old Carl Scofield began describing
his newest venture. For him it is just one more romance in a
life filled with travel, love affairs and the emotional
extremes that come with a wanderer's existence.
Sitting in the Sunshine Cafe on Franklin Street, where he
works, Scofield talked of his reasons for being here.
He has been in Chapel Hill since January working as a
carpenter and a waiter. "I came to North Carolina to fall in
love," he said. Carl has become involved with two North
Carolina women and said they reminded him of his first
love. He met one North Carolina woman at an
archaeological site in Idaho.
"It seemed I got along well with the whole group from
North Carolina, and since then I had planned to come
here," he said. "I decided on Chapel Hill because it was a
university town with people my age. And in a lot of ways I
still consider myself a part of the University set."
But Scofield said he was not the type to stay in any one
place long. Speaking again of France, he told why he
wanted to move on.
"Eighteen, 21,-25 and 30 axe tig birthdays," he said.
"Life is charge. I feel the beauty cf manhood coming and I
want to experience its flowering."
But Scofield said he did not want to be in America when
that happens. "Europe helii more differences, more
stimulations," he said. "I want to know myself and my
country in a different perspective. Also I want to learn a
language I don't know."
Scofield said he could find work picking grapes in
southern France during the fall and spring of the year. He
spoke of a freedom to experience things a freedom he has
not found.
"I want to get stinking drunk when I feel like it, go out
with sophisticated ladies and see the ugly side of life go to
a whorehouse," he said. "1 want to experience the beauty
and romance and seediness that are all a part of the world."
Scofield's wandering may be explained by the events that
have colored his past.
He wears his mother's thin gold wedding ring she gave
him just before her death. That same year, at 18, Scofield
enrolled at the University of the Americas in Cholula,
Mexico. He studied archaeology and anthropology and
lived within five blocks of the world'slargest base pyramid.
Of the many events that year, Scofield said his traveling
in Central America and his first experience living with a
woman influenced him the most.
Scofield's second year of college was spent at Trent
University in Ontario, Canada. He said his obsession to
become a world figure in anthropology led to intense
pressure and frustration because his dreams did not
materialize. Scofield moved on to New York to straighten
out his thoughts. He said this move signaled the beginning
of a two-year identity crisis.

were given, but Iraq said its naval units

positions at Abadan.
Iraq's military reported air raids on
Iranian military targets, including four
attacks in the Dezful sector, and said Iranian

"The plan is a joint effort cn the part of the
(UNC) Business and lflr.ar.ee office as well as the
business community with the support cf the
students' committee member and UNC student
, Danny McKekhen said. "It is encoureplnj to see
the administration taking positive steps n student
interest without Student Government having to be
constantly pushing for thin; to go through."
Vice Chancellor for Business and Finance John
Temple said the University in no way would be
responsible for the maintenance cr security cf the
facihty. The banks w ill pay the J costs cf
construction. An annual rent also will be paid to the
University for the ut.i ty ccsti.
