Joined in Peace Vigil

More than 120 University students and
Chapel Hill townspeople stood in silent
vigil on the sidewalk in front of the Post
Office yesterday to protest the war in Viet
nam.
The vigil started at noon, with the pro
testers forming a
single-file line
that gradually
lengthened along
the outside of the
sidewalk toward
the center of
town.
For 60 min
utes the protest-
ers stood quietly, while television camera
men had a field day. At 1 p.m., each pro
tester shook hands with participants on
either side and walked away.
All those asked said they would be back
next Wednesday and every Wednesday
until the fighting stops.
The idea of the peace vigil first was
advanced by Dr. Charles Hubbel, a former
graduate student here who now teaches at
the University of California at Santa Bar-

There were demonstrators —a lot of
them —but no disturbance.
At 2 p.m., the first protester, a middle-
aged man in a
suit and tie,
started walking
back and forth in
front of Memo
rial Hall, where
the vice president
of the United
States was sched
uled to speak
shortly.

bara.
According to Professor Robert Gwyn of
the radio, television and motion picture
department, Hubbel wrote the Friends
Meeting of Chapel Hill describing the peace
vigil, telling them that the idea is being
used in 67 communities throughout the
country.
The Friends Meeting here discussed the
idea, endorsed it and directed the Peace
and Social Concerns Committee to orga
nize the vigil.
Gwyn said yesterday that although the
Quakers had planned die demonstration,
many participants were not members of
the church.
“We welcome anyone who wishes to
join in this vigil to express our sorrow and
our protest,” Gwyn said.
Asked if the vigil would last as long as
the war, Gwyn said he hoped the war
ended today and would like to think the
vigil helped to end it.
One bystander asked Gwyn what he
thought was accomplished by the vigil.
“It makes some people feel better,” he
said.
There was no particular category of
people involved in the demonstration.
There were professors, undergraduates,
graduate students, businessmen and sev
eral older people.
“They’ll be taking your Bibles from you
next,” he muttered to an amused crowd of
students that was gathering outside the
hall. “Then they’ll put you in concentra
tion camps.”
A few minutes later, about a dozen
placard-carrying students marched from
Y-Court and began walking in front of the
auditorium. The signs read: “Hubert, you
lie," “Drop Rusk and McNamara, not na
palm” and “Shame on you, Hubert.”
The number of marchers grew. By 2:15
p.m., there were 30 pickets, many without
signs, and a crowd of 150 student onlook
ers. Twenty minutes later, the number of
pickets increased to 45, then 55, as students
seemed to melt into the moving circle.
Finally, at 2:50 p.m., Vice President
Hubert Humphrey got out and was imme
diately whisked into the hall.
The crowd didn’t disperse. It just ad
journed to the open windows of the packed
building to hear the vice president speak.

codes, their registrar must send a list of
names of students who were graduating in
May. “Without the list or the proper code,
you cannot get tickets,” he said.
There have been discrepancies in the
past, Thornton said. “The master's of ac
counting students were listed as seniors for
two years in a row,” he said.
Another change in ticket distribution is
that University Police will not allow stu
dents to camp out for tickets earlier than 5
p.m. Friday, Austel said. The campus po
lice want to ensure safety because the lot is
reserved for parking.
This policy was not enforced last year,
but Thornton and Austel said this year
would be different. The next ticket distri
bution is Jan. 22 forthe Feb. 3 Duke game.
Students may pick up their athletic
passes upstairs in the Student Union until
5 p.qa. tomorrow. Afterward, athletic passes
will be available at the Smith Center.
Austel said ticket distribution had gone
well so far this year.
“Our biggest distribution was the last
one,” Austel said. The last distribution
date was Dec. 4 for the Feb. 10 Maryland
game.
“There were 600 people out in line by 3
a.m. All the tickets available were given
out to students, and none were left for the
general public.”
Normally, after the third day that tick
ets are available to students, remaining
tickets may be purchased by the general
public.
Despite the large turnout at the last
distribution, Austel said he was surprised
at the numbers of people who showed up
during the semester for tickets.
“It seemed like there were a little less
(people) than we thought would have come
to get tickets,” Austel said. He also said
publicity was increased this year from last
year.

ported back to Rep. Anne Barnes, D-Or
ange, on the meetings.
Barnes represented legislation in 1993
that did not eliminate the pay grades but
established wage floors for each grade. The
General Assembly approved those floors
and provided funding for implementation
of the new wage floors.
The report also outlines the additional
areas that might increase salaries for house
keepers. Housekeepeis who work from3:so
a.m. to 11:50 a.m. receive a 10-percent
deferential pay for all hours worked. All
University staff employees who have
worked for 10 years or more receive lon
gevity pay.
Runberg said he personally visited each
of the University’s housekeeper shops and
supervisors to discuss issues within the
housekeeping division. “It was clear that
we share a lot of the ideas of the key
issues,” he said.
Runberg and Charest both said they
couldn’t understand the conflict between

neighborhood.
In Carrboro, 1993 was not much differ
ent, with statistics showing that the crime
rate dropped 3.9 percent.
Carrboro police Chiefßen Callahan also
said he had noticed an increase in this type
of call, which he thought alerted police
before a potential crime occurred. “It’s
helping us some, I think,” he said.
Like Cousins, Callahan also warned
that the report could make the public less
aware of the crime problems. “You don’t
want people to get complacent,” he said.
“Don’t stop taking precautions.”
A decrease in crime also has occurred in

and the UNC House-
keepers Association when both were fight
ing for the same goals better working
conditions for the lowest-paid employees.
Barbara Prear, chairwoman ofthe UNC
Housekeepers Association Steering Com
mittee, said she was pleased with the steps
the University had taken to increase the
entry-level salary in the past two years.
“I am not knocking the efforts of the
University—the wage floors will help the
people who come in —but for the house
keepers like myself who have been on the
job for 10, 12 years, the changes really
don’t affect us,” she said. “We are making
the same salary people coming in are.”
Runberg said the state was conducting a
study to analyze the problems of salary
compression. “The more people we have
within a certain pay range, the greater
problem we have with fewer people mov
ing within the range,” he said.
The report also mentions the problem,
stating that the problem will only continue
to grow until the state adopts anew com
pensation plan with mechanisms for in
range movement.
Canboro but the town, unlike Chapel Hill,
has seen a sharp increase in larcenies by
14.8 percent.
“I don’t know why (there is a differ
ence),” he said. “Wehave seenin Canboro
an increase in our overall calls for service,
and larceny goes along with that.
“Larcenies are not normally big in terms
of money, but are big in terms of numbers.
Somebody steals your bike off the front
porch—that’s larceny.”
Cousins said she thought the local crime
rate affected people all over North Caro
lina who thought about attending UNC.
“When our crime rates go up, it affects
people statewide,” she said. “People want
to send their children here, and they want
them to be safe.”
For the Record
In Wednesday’s Daily Tar Heel, the article
‘Crawford: Leaving UNC to Continue Stone’s
Mission' incorrectly reported that Margo
Crawford had been the director of the Sonja
Haynes Stone Black Cultural Center for 14
years.
The University hired Crawford on July 1,
1988.
The DTH regrets the error.
