Paiama-Pany By MARY ALYS VOORHEES Carolina's widely-publicized fraternity "papma party" at a Durham night spot, which was subject to an ADC raid, backfired on one of North Carolina's leading daily newspapers and the ABC inspector when slander and libel suits aggregating $1,000,000 were filed in Durham Superior Court yesterday. Charging that hi business and reputation had been greatly Injured by "false, defamatory, libelous, slanderous and insinu- Pubs icny T3 H ff DOCK nres; uit s Filed ting" statements, John (Jack) S. Hopkins, owner-operator of Jack's, popular nightery on the old Chapel Hill Road, filed for damages through his attorney, Daniel M. Williams Jr. Named as defendants in separate suits were the Durham Herald Company, Inc., (publishers of the Durham Morning Herald and The Durham Sun) and John N. Buck, the ABC officer. Each of the two suits asked for $250,000 actual damages and $250,000 punitive damages. In a statement to The Daily Tar Heel, Lambda Chi President Curtis Fields explained that couples were dressed in Bermuda shorts with the girls wearing (over their clothes) night shirts which In the suit against Buck, the court was asked for execution against the person if punitive damages were' hot paid. The litigation had its outgrowth when the Carolina chapter of Lambda Chi Alpha held an early morning breakfast party at Jack's in conjunction with their pledge weekend. Fraternity officials denied statements of any misconduct shortly after the first stories of the alleged raid were printed. were given as favors at the pledge dance and that the boys were wearing pajamas over their clothes. In each of the suits, Hopkins set forth the allegation that the statements made by Buck and printed by the Durham Herald Co. had ruined his business. The suit against Buck charged him with the "slanderous" state ments "made to a newspaper reporter when he knew or had rea son to know, that they would be published in the newspapers owned and published by the Durham Herald Company."
