In his first major show business assignment, with the road company of "Call Me Mister," he started in the comedy lead but within a year he had played eight dif ferent parts. He is currently playing a whole series of characters in as many different short television comedies, for he has succeeded the late Bert Lahr as the man who cannot eat just one of Lay's potato chips. In this capacity he moves from role to role. As the great Hocka Richi, he is interviewed off camera about his philosopohy. Hocka Richi says it is based on disci pline. Discipline, he says, is ex emplified by eating just one potato chip a day. But, the interviewer observes, the master continues to eat po tato chips long after he has con sumed the prescribed one. "You wanna know the truth?" asks Hocka Richi. "Discipline is not delicious!" Hackett's second characteri zation, "The Chinese Waiter," is familiar to his fans, for he has used it before in TV and SEAT BELTS SAVE THE LIVES OF OF THOSE WHO WEAR THEM RALEIGH - It was a clear, hot day in the heartland of rural Eastern North Carolina.... there was no traffic, but death waited just a few miles down the road. A seat belt saved the life of Anthony Lia. It was the lack of a seat belt' which contribut ed to the death of five other people on that clear, hot day on North Carolina highway 242. George Bums, 42; Archie Burns, 69; Elizabeth Bums, 61; Lydia Keller, 63; and Nomie Owens, 75; all died that day. The car In which they were riding was struck broadside by Lla's auto. Not a single one was wearing a seat belt. "Although then are no wit nesses," Sgt. D. M. Dyson of the State Highway Patrol said, "We surmise the Burns' auto ran a stop sign In to the path of Lla's car. Neither auto appear ed to be traveling In exce« of the speed limit." The officer quoted. Lis, a 21-ye*>old ' Olzabethtown man, aa saying the seat belt saved his life. gro ■ owned Friendly • Leader Manufacturing Co. of High Point. G. J.

Drawn from one of his most popular routines, the waiter, holding a menu, tells the customer he can have one item from column A, one from column B and one from Column C. "But nobody can have just one from Lay's potato chip," he says. "That's a Chinese torture!" The analyst, another Hackett characterization, is speaking to a patient. Your trouble, he says, is lack of self control. Self con trol, he explains, is the ability to eat just one potato chip. But the patient objects that the analyst is eating many po tato chips. The analyst, with a mouthful of chips, angrily retorts: "Hey, you're the patient, not me." Other characterizations will follow in still more short com edies. Hackett was born in Brock lyn, a "poor kid," as he puts it. Now he is one of the eminent residents of California. "I desired recognition," he says. "I got it by being funny." He also got plenty of potato chips, for, as he says: "No Buddy can eat just one." "He was strapped down good," the officer said, "and all he got was a cut on his face. It was so slight it didn't even require stitches." The five dead in the other car were not so fortunate. "Our investigation indicates I the Bums' auto ran a stop and was struck by the Lia car," Sgt. Dyson said. "Lia told me the auto juat appeared in his path and there was no time to avoid the collision." The officer noted there were only 12 feet of skid marka Indicating a quick con frontation. "The sad thing about it," Sgt. Dyson said, "la that you can see a mile In each direction at the Interaectlon at which the Burns' auto entered NC 242. "Had they stopped, they could have seen for a mile In either direction." The officer stated that the occupants of the Burns' car were battered around Inside the vehicle on lmpact..."A seat belt could have made the dif ference." worth's housewares buyer, placed the "start-up" order with Dr. Perry P.

C. Night Call went on the air with just 21 stations on June 3rd, and through timeliness of subjects, uniqueness of programming and high calibre of guests has drawn immediate and nation wide attention.

Subjects for each evening are determined beforehand and cover a wide range of current national problems from racial issues to Vietnam to politics. One of the main develop ments of the program has been the opening of channels so that blacks and whites can speak with each other to reach a better understanding of prob lems. For example, on the evening Stokley Carmichael was the guest it is estimated there were 64,000 incoming calls during that hour. Locally Night Call is heard Monday through Friday on station WSRC-FM-107.1-MC for one hour beginning at 11:30 p.m. On Friday, July 26, the guest is Ron Karenga, Pres. of "US," a militant black power organization in Los An geles, California.

The program focused on new placement problems facing traditionally Negro colleges be cause of the expanding job po tential for Negroes.

North Carolina Student Council Congress Holds Annual Meet The North Carolina Student Council Congress held its ninth annual Workshop in Leader ship Training at Mars Hill Col lege, July 14-19. Miss Frances Bounds, the Executive Secre tary. orpuiized and directed the workshop. Dr. George Mathes, noted Educational Consultant, Lecturer and Au thor from Denver, Colorado served as consultant. He demon strated and explained many leadership techniques for the 200 attending students and 80 sponsors. Mrs. Mary Hester Smith, Sponsor of the Shepard Junior High Student Council and Dis trict Director of the North Carolina Association of Stu dent Councils attended the workshop as an invited guest to speak and lead a discussion 1 group for the sponsors on "The Role of the Student Council in Integration." She compared the existing types of councils found in our pre sent-day school systems. The Segregated Councils that sep arate the Negro and White stu dents on the lacal and state levels but the students meet one another in limited groups at the national convention. TTie Desegregated Councils found in our desegregated schools that eliminate the Negro students from the activities of student government because their p*oup is in the minority and they do not get elected to the governing body; therefore, the Desegrejpted Councils elimi nate the minority groups from student activities on all levels local, state, and national. Mrs. Smith felt that the Integrated Councils are the most desirable and our hopes for future governing bodies, where all groups will partici pate in student activities on all levels. Then minority groups can envision an opportunity to function in a true democra tic student government pro gram which will later enable our society to become a living democracy. The speaker suggested sever al ways for sponsors to imple ment a democratic council pro gram: Sponsors, both Negro and white, must show that they themselves want integrated councils. Committees from councils within cities or counties could work together to improve re lationships within our schools. He Junior and Senior High can have separate groups that can meet together to co-ordi nate the activities within their educational system. In the so-called integrated councils sponsors and council members should ask Negro stu dents to serve on committees and strongly encourage some run for office. A quota system could be set up in the integrated schools to be sure that Negroes are represented to the council ac cording to the number of stu dents within the school. Ma. Smith felt that when the Negro local groups join with the North Carolina Stu dent Council Congress all pre- dominately Negro schools should be notified and asked to join the district and state organizations. Hie state organi zations should serve all existing schools- the oredomlnately Ne gro, the desegregated, and the integrated, In order lbr all schools to have full participa tion on the national level. The state and district organizations should also have a quota sy stem to see that all elegible achools are represented-elegibi lity being the payment of dues to the district, the state and the national.
