A tape of Malcolm X was also played. Tim Gaylord, a member of the Committee for Black Student Unity, said in his speech there was a need for black consciousness and strong black unity. "Malcolm was killed trying to unify us," he said. "There is definitely something wrong with the black awareness on this campus," he said, noting the low turnout. Although the skies were clear and the weather was warm, the turnout was minimal. Many students stopped to listen only for a few minutes while pass ing through the Pit between classes. The rally, spon sored by the Committee for Black Student Unity, lasted almost two hours. "All that division will come to an end. This can not happen unless we let it happen."

Danny Houston, a representative from the Black United Front in the Raleigh area, spoke also, and is helping to establish a chapter here. Houston stressed the need for blacks to organize. "It is lime now for black people to organize. It is a time to rediscover our history ... to renew our culture again to become a free people." Houston said the Black United Front is striving toward one goal: "freedom from oppression." He challenged the students to form a Black United Front on this campus. "We need leaders, we need organi zation," he said. "We have to get together to determine the future of our race; We need an organization on this campus that will tie us together," Gaylord said. . - V X urn w ow.i.s Blacks commemorate leaders in Pit Wednesday ...discouraged with lack of awareness on campus The representative from the Black National Independent Political Party, Barbara Arnwine, gave an enthusiastic speech.

To follow up this statement, Kole embarked on appearingdisappearing acts involving son Tim and himself; Houdini-like escapes; trans cendental levitation; a short performance of sleight-of-hand by his daughter and other feats which comprised the first hour of his per formance & prompted cheery applause and head-scratching bewilderment from the audience. A highlight of the first hour was Kole's ability to escape tightly-knotted ropes, which were tied around his ankles and wrists I mpioyQQ oj ' . A 19-year-oid UNC student from Carrboro was found dead late Tuesday night in a back room of Swensen's Ice Cream Factory in Chapel Hill. Malcom Wayne Pardington, an employee at Swensen's was on duty when he died of ni trous oxide inhalation some time between 9:30 and 12:00 Tuesday evening. The death was ruled an accidental asphyxiation by a medical examiner, Dr. Jerome Tift, Apparently Pardington had obtained the gas from compression tanks used for making whipped cream and collected it in a plastic "Swensen found-- d&n bag, store owner Leon Todd said. He then went to the rear of the office, where he in haled the gas and lost consciousness with the bag covering his airwav. An unidentified employee discovered Pardington's body upright in a chair after the store had closed, Todd said. . "Malcom's absence was not noticed earlier because his job as ice cream manufacturer caused him to be in and out frequently, and he did not work in the same area as the other employees," Todd said. Dr. Tift said the gas affects the central nervous system. "Nitrous oxide, also known as laughing . gas, produces an effect similar to that pro duced when glue is sniffed. It often gives its user a temporary high, but can also result in a loss of consciousness," Tift said. Walker's Funeral Service has announced that Pardington's family will have his body cremated and that a memorial service will be held at a date to be announced. STEVK GRIFFIN u LiuUk) Z3V A nnnn ?
