South Building Will Enforce
Apt. Rule For Both Sexes
; By JOEL BULKLEY
University officials announced
this week they are enforcing an
administrative apartment rule
for all undergraduates, while
student leaders reported they
would have no part of it.
According to Dean of Men
William Long, the administra
tion is now enforcing the follow
ing rule: "Undergraduate stu
dents are not permitted to visit
in the living quarters of mem
bers of the opposite sex, either
in dormitories or in apartments
in town. Women students may
visit men's apartments provided
there is a minimum of two cou
ples present."
Dean Long failed to say what
would happen to those who vio
late the rule, except that they
would be dealt with by the Dean
of Men's and Dean of Women's
offices.
Chairman of the Women's
Council Carolyn Pinion stated
that the council will not enforce
it because it is an administra
tive rule. She noted that it was
the Council's duty only to en
force women's rules as legislat
ed by the Women's Residence
Council (WRC), and at present
the WRC has no apartment rule.

Dean Long said that the ad
ministration's new rule grew out
of the failure of a specially or
ganized ad-hoc committee to re
solve the controversial issue to
the satisfaction of students, fac
ulty and administration alike.
This committee, composed of
five students, two faculty mem
bers and Dean of Women Kath
erine Carmichael and Dean Long,
was formed on May 14 to come
up with a compromise solution
satisfactory to everyone.
The committee met three times
but failed to propose an accept
able rule. During the period of
negotiations an interim rule, stat
ing that at least one other coed
had to be present when a coed
visited a man's apartment was in
effect. After negotiations failed
this rule expired.
The original controversy began
on March 19 when the old two
couple apartment rule was charg
ed to apply only to freshmen co
eds, by the WRC.
Two days later Dean Car
michael announced that she did
not consider the rule change val
id and regarded only those rules
in the 1962-63 Handbook for Wo
' men Students to be in effect.
The Women's Council then an
nounced it would uphold the rule

changes as legislated by the
WRC.
On May 2, University officials
stated that the students must
choose between temporarily re
instating the old apartment rule
while a compromise was negotiat
ed or force the administration to
impose and enforce a rule of its
own.

225 March Against
Segregated Store
By JOEL BULKLEY
Some 125 singing and hand-clapping Negroes and
whites staged the fourth peaceful mass march against
a downtown drugstore late yesterday in defiance of
Gov. Terry Sanford's publicized plea for an end to mass
demonstrations.
The march, sponsored by the
Chapel Hill Committee for Open
Business, was centered against
the segregated lunch counter pol
icy of the Colonial Drug Store,
414 W. Franklin St.
Demonstrators met at St. Jo
seph's C.M.E. Church, marched
two blocks singing freedom songs
to the Colonial Drugs, sang sev
eral more songs, and paraded
back to the church.
The Open Business Executive
Committee held a special meet
ing Tuesday night following Gov.
Sanford's televised appeal to the
State and voted to continue its .
three-pronged direct-action cam
paign against 14 segregated estab
lishments in the local area.
In a statement released yester
day, the Committee stated that
it had held off action from May
30-June 7 while the Mayor's Com
mittee on Integration attempted
to negotiate the desegregation of
local businesses. The Mayor and
his committee, however, were un
able to persuade the owners to
persuade the owners to segre
gate ...
The statement continued: "Af
ter hearing from the Mayor, we
had our negotiating committee re
sume its work. Early in the week
of June 10th, we contacted the
management of the Colonial Drug
Store. The management refused
by telephone to negotiate with,
or even to meet with, our negotia
ting team (Father Clarence Park
er, James Gardner, and Hilliard
Caldwell).
"Therefore the Executive Com
mittee recommended . . . that
direct - action of picketing, boy
cotting, and thrice-weekly dem
onstrations be instituted against
the Colonial Drug Store . . .
"After hearing the Governor's
statement, we immediately called
the managment of the Colonial
Drug Store to see if the Govern
or's attitude had changed his at
titude. Despite the Governor's
statement, he again refused to
negotiate with or even to meet
with us. Since the management
has refused negotiations with
either our committee or any
other, we feel that we have no
choice but to continue our policy
of picketing, boycotting, and
peaceful demonstrations."
The Committee voted last
Thursday night to launch a direct
action campaign against the Col
onial Drugstore. The store has
been picketed in the past (1960),
but continued to restrict its lunch,
eon facilities to white customers.
It has served Negroes at other
counters in the store.
Plans approved included boy
cotting of 14 segregated estab
lishments in Chapel Hill, picket
ing for four hours daily, later ex
tended to eight hours, against
the drugstore and mass demon

Against Law On
Accommodations
The Board of Directors of the
Chapel Hill-Carrboro Merchants
Association went on record Wed
nesday opposing a proposed pub
lic accommodations law for
Chapel HU1,
The Directors also said bus
inessmen should not be "picket
ed, coerced or threatened by any
means." :
A Chapel Hill public - accom
modations ordinance was pro
posed on June 11 by the Mayor's
Committee on Integration. The
Committee recommended that
the Aldermen enact a law that
would make it illegal for res
taurants, retail stores, theaters
and similar establishments doing
business with the general public
to discriminate on the basis of
color.
The Mayor's Committee em
phasized that it was recom
mending the anti-discrimination
ordinance only because all other
efforts to encourage desegrega
tio of some 14 business establish
ments had failed.
The Board of Aldermen is ex
pected to consider the recom
mended ordinance at its regular
meeting next Tuesday.
At a special meeting Wednes
day morning, the Directors is
sued the following statement di
rected to the Board of Alder
men: "We, the Chapel Hill-Carrboro
Merchants Association, after full
consideration, believe that a
Public Accommodation Law
would not be in the best interest
of this community.
"The proponents of a public
accommodation , ordinance,
though well-intending in their ef
fort, advocate the enactment of
legislation that is a denial of a
fundamental right to every Am
erican. Our founding fathers be
lieved that economic justice could
best be won by free men through
free enterprise.
"It is a dangerous move, when
any government; local, state or
federal can tell any and every
owner and operator of a business
how he MUST operate that en
terprise. "'The eighteenth amendment to
our federal constitution is vivid
proof that legislation of social
customs is not feasible. Social
legislation coupled with restric
tive economic . legislation off
sets a free enterprise principle
that was bask in the develop
ment of this great nation.
.We have publicly stated that
