DFHKlvmFT? 14, 1963 United Press International Servica mm The Patriots Will March Forth Again ; HARMONY (UPD It's bun-ny-aopping time again and the American Legion post which an nually stages the "barbaric and cruel" event says its going ahead with plans despite denunciations from animal levers. "Barbaric and cruel" is what tne Humane Society labels the sporting event which is staged each year by North Iredell County's American Legion Post 113. Legionnaires, armed with sticks and stones, stalk through the woos near here each year in search o: the eiusive cotton tails, whicn are flushed from the brush by braying hounds. Once spotted, the rabbits are pummeled to death by the hop pers. But the bunny-bopping Le gionnaires content;, as they have in the past, that it's all for a good cause and that the rabbits have a fair chance to escape the dragnet. The rabbits are skinned and dressed, frozen and later served at the Legion's annual charity barbecue. Proceeds from the barbecue are given to Har mony and Union Grove schools for distribution among children who cannot afford school lunches. The 1963 hunt will be held at 9:30 a.m. Saturday at the W. B. Ncrris farm near Olin, about 13 miles northwest of States ville. Last year, the affair was staged on the sly because of public indignation. Th e Humane Society fights each year to prevent the bunny massacre, but only in 1961 did it succeed. The Legionnaires called off the bunny bop that year because of the nationwide protest stimulated by the Hu mane society. The society even tried to take their battle into Iredell Super ior Court and eventually the State Supreme Court, but their efforts were in vain. Last year, the society even managed to get National Legion Commander Dan K. Foley of Indianapolis to condemn the bunny-bop, but even his pleas fell cn deaf ears. James Yandell of Charlotte, state representative for the so ciety, said Thursday, however, he hadn't given up. He fired off telegrams to society headquar ters in Denver, ' Colo., to Foley and to Legion Adjutant General E. A. Blackmore. He called on them to exert their influence in an effort to stop the affair. Meanwhile, Legion Post 113 remains firm. The bunny bop is still on. Experimental Residence Hall Successful Maybe By MARTY BRENNAMAN The experimental housing pro gram started this year for foot ball players has come up with three verdicts, ranging from "very successful" to "it's too early to tell." Head Fotball Coach Jim Hick cy and two "babysitters" say the experiment has been a tre mendous success while Dean of Men William G. Long says "it's still an experiment." Since early September, the en tire freshman and varsity squads have been rooming, two in each room according to their respec tive positions, in the spacious confines of Ehringhaus dormi tory. INTERNSHIPS Students interested in Congres sional Internships for the sum mer of 1964 are invited to meet at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday in 207 Cald well Hall.

"In previous years, the players have lived all over the campus. We've always been in a situation where members lived in dormi tories or fraternity houses where they couldn't get to sleep. Also, parents would call for their sons, and many times we couldn't get hold of them. Now, if we need to find one of them, the fact that they are all living together makes it very convenient to locate who we need." When asked about the dormi tory itself, Hickey said, "Our idea was never to segregate the boys from the rest of the student body. We did not want a dormitory that would house just football players. Ehringhaus is so big that the players can live together and .still come in con tact with the rest of the student body. Furthermore, by having eating facilities right there, a tremendous amount of time is saved in this respect." Have there been any disciplin ary problems? "As far as I know," Hickey said, "there have been none whatsoever." Will the program be continued? "Yes, if it's permitted, the pro gram will be carried on in the coming years. Since it was start ed in September, the team has developed a tremendous feeling of togetherness, more than in past years." The "babysitters," George Bout selis and Tom Cabe, live in the dormitory with the players and .. l J -if a U.S. Aircraft Shot Down In Viet Nam SAIGON, South Viet Nam (UPD Two U. S. Army aircraft a helicopter and a light plane crashed in unrelated incidents Thursday, apparently killing eight American servicemen, it was an nounced today. The helicopter was reported shot down by Commu nist ground fire. A military spokesman said a U. S. Army H-37 helicopter with five American soldiers aboard crashed in the Mekong River Del ta about 60 miles southeast of Saigon. Four men were killed and one seriously injured. . " In the other incident, the spokes man said the wreckage of a U. S. "Otter" light transport plane with four Americans and three Vietnamese aboard was found during the night 500 feet from the peak of a 7,000-foot moun tain in the jungles 160 miles north of Saigon. There was no sign of survivors. If all eight deaths are finally confirmed, they will bring the toll of American killed in action here to 126, with 80 of them this year. The spokesman said two of the five men aboard the giant twin engined helicopter were still alive when rescue forces arrived at the scene. One died before he could be evacuated. The other was tak en to Saigon for medical treat act as supervisors. Their duties, as Boutselis put it, "are to see that they behave themselves as any ordinary student should." He went on to say that "the program has been very success ful. "It's contributed greatly to the over-all spirit of the team and they have all conducted themselves as true Carolina gentlemen." Cabe echoed his sentiments byi saying "It gives the boys a chance to live, work and have recreation together. As far as I'm concerned, it's one of the best things that's ever happened to Carolina football and has been 'one of the big contributing fac tors to the success of our team this year." Dean Long, while not as liberal with praise for the experiment as the ofeers, did seem quite opti mistic. "It's too early to say anything definite now," he said, "but if I had to say anything, I would say that the experiment has been a success. "We have had no evaluation of it as yet At the end of the spring semester, we will get to gether with the Resident Advis ors, Men's Residence Council, Student Government and individ uals in the dormitory and dis cuss it. We'd appreciate com ments and criticisms to help de termine whether or not it will be a lasting thing. "All reports with respect to their conduct have been favor able. I have been much more pleased with the conduct of the football players than ever before." the bus at the time of the acci- driver Danny Caston, 16, was un- ' Photo by Jim Wallace ment. The spokesman said the heli copter pilot "lost control" and was forced to jettison wreckage of a twin-engined "Mohawk" plane which it had lifted from the ground by cables. The Mo hawk had crashed Wednesday. The military spokesman said there still was no explanation for the crash of the light transport plane, while it was on a routine flight from Bah Me Thut to- the coastal city of Nha Trang. But there was some speculation that it hit the mountain top, because of bad weather. 1 BULLETIN UNC Law Student David Dans by, former UNC student John Dunne and two other persons were arrested on trespass charges at a sit-in at The Pines restaurant last night. They were later re leased on bond following a march to the police station by about 30 Negroes and whites from St. Paul's AME church. FRIDAY ON THE GO Consolidated University Presi dent William C. Friday will re turn today from a business trip to Washington, but he will be here only one day before return ing to the Capitol for another meeting. Friday met with the George Marshall scholarship committee Thursday in the headquarters of the British Embassy. Review Board Upholds Two The Faculty Review Board up held a Men's Council decision sus pending a student for one semes ter in a hearing Tuesday night. The student had been found guilty of being an accessory after the fact on a charge of stealing a telephone from a girl's dormi tory in a Men's Council case last Thursday. At the time of his conviction the boy was serving a probation sentence given to him by the Council in a previous case. A con viction while on probation results in automatic suspension. The student had pleaded not guilty in the Men's Council trial saying that he knew about the theft but that he had intended to see that the telephone was re turned. However, when confront ed by a police officer, he and two other boys did not tell of the theft. The boy who actually stole the telephone was given a two-semester probation in the same case. The appeal was the third heard by the Faculty Review Board since its creation earlier this fall. In the first two appeals, the Board upheld the Council's decision once and reduced a two-semester sen tence to one semester in the other Gator Puts A Big Bite On Our Seats Actual distribution cf Gator Bowl tickets to students, alum ni and employees began yester day at Woollen Gym, and immedi ately many students registered dissatisfaction with the location of their seats. Out of the approximately 12, 300 tickets alloted to the Univer-. sity, 7,G0a are in the South Stands behind one end zone. Some 5,000 tickets for seats along the west side up to the 40-yard line have reportedly all been taken up by Educational Foundation members. All stuients who bought their tickets through the University have been seated in the end zone. Vernon Crook, business manager of the athletic department, told the Daily Tar Heel yesterday he had protested the Bowl commit tee's allotment, but' there was nothing further he could do. Many students had bitter com ments after learning their place ments in the Gator Bowl. "I can't believe they would stick us with seats like these," said a sophomore. "There was never any indication that we were getting anything but normal se lection of seats. Erickson's gone too far this time." "Here I am spending a $100 to make the trip down there just to sit in the end zone and see nothing," said a junior from Pennsylvania. "I would have gladly paid more money in order to get better seats," "Something ought to be done about this," said an irate coed. "When I get home I'll have to ask my friends how the game was. They'll see a lot more on TV than I'll ever see," muttered one student. "What do Erickson and Crook think they're doing. "Why should students get the worst seats," asked a senior. "I've followed the team all year long and now some Jaciisonyille businessman will be sitting- on the 50 while I'm in the end zone." Safety Program Is Launched A campaign to make everyone conscious of highway safety was launched yesterday by Alpha Phi Omega service fraternity and the effice of the Dean of Men. The brief but intensive cam paign will feature an illustrated talk by Dr. Erie Peacock, nationally-known plastic surgeon. Pea cock will speak in Carroll Hall Tuesday at 8 p.m. His topic is, "Medical Aspects of Highway Safety." Commenting on Peacock, Dean of Student Affairs C. O. Cathey said, "He is very qualified to speak on the subject of highway safety. "He has spoken to many civic clubs on the subject and is also a consultant to an automobile firm on the idea of making automobiles safer." Peacock is most renowned for his work in plastic surgery. He was featured in Life magazine several years ago for his work in repairing human tissue which had been severely damaged. A wrecked auto will be placed in Y-Court Monday to serve as a reminder of what can result from carelessness on the. highways. Posters will be placed in dormi tories and on campus to remind all drivers to "Be Careful." "Not only must we look out for ourselves on the highway," Dean Cathey said, "But must al ways look out for the other fellow too, especially at this time of the year." Cathey issued a plea for every one . to drive carefully if they are planning to go to the Gator Bowl. "I know everyone is excited about the game," he said. "But I do want everyone to make the trip in a safe and sound condi tion." He also urged students, if they could, to spend a couple of in Jacksonville rather than try to make the trip without a rest. HELLUVA DAY PARADISE, Mich. (UPD Pa radise was colder than Hell yes terday. The mercury dipped to 16 in Paradise, the small Whitefish Bay community on the upper pen ninsula. One inch of snow fell. On the lower penninsula, Hell re ported a low of 21 but nearly three inches of sntf Leg increase 1 'extbook Co-op Plan Abandoned By CHRIS FARRAN Efforts for the sale of text books through a student coopera tive have apparently been sty mied, a recent Student Govern ment Co-Op Committee report revealed. The report quotes a memoran dum issued in 1952 by VV. D. Car michael (then vice-president and comptroller of the University) stating that ". . . the Trustee's Committee on Stores felt that the University was justified in rigidly conforming to a policy of furnishing lists of textbooks sole ly to the Book Exchange." Because UNC department heads were reluctant to release book lists to the committee without official approval, the committee was blocked in its efforts to establish a student co-op selling textbooks at reduced prices. The co-op committee report says, ". . . we felt that the best course for us to follow would be affiliation with the National Stu dent Association Book Co-op, and our correspondence with this or ganization indicated that there . was. a good possibility, that such arrangements could be made. "In addition, we found at least one suitable off-campus location available for rental at fairly rea sonable rates." In view of the Administration's policy of not releasing depart mental book lists, however, the committee says, ". . . it is our feeling that further efforts in stu dent sales of texts would be futile." The report, . however, states that "The present intention of the Co-op Committee is to con tinue working toward the estab lishment of a student co-operative which will deal in clothing and other items used by a large portion of the student body." The committee's investigation reveals substantial profits made by University stores over the past several years, portions of which were used for athletic grants-in-aid. The University's retail stores (Book Exchange, Scuttlebutt, Cir cus Room, etc.) realized a net income of $235,467 for the fiscal Car Demolished; 3 Youths Unhurt Three Chapel Hill youths es caped serious injury late Thurs day night when their car went out of control and rolled over on Strowd Hill on East Franklin Street. State Highway Patrolman B. W. Lacock said he was driving up the hill when he saw a car coming in the opposite direc tion at a high rate of speed. The patrolman said he was forced to the side of the road by the other vehicle. Apparently the lights on the youth's car went out as it passed patrolman Lacock, and it lost control on the curve. "I hardly had time to turn around, and I saw those lights flipping, around," said Patrolman La cock. The driver, Tim Kednocker, 18, was charged with drunken driving and his case set for Jan uary 3, 1964. No other charges were made. The two other pas sengers were Andrew E. Julian and William T. Marx, 19. Julian, who was in the front seat, required four stitches to close a cut on his left hip. Neither Marx nor Kednocker was injured. The accident, which occurred about 10:50 p.m., totally wrecked the 1957 four-door Ford sedans Mature rm Passe year 1962-63, the report said. Ap proximately 39 per cent ($91,832) of the total came from the sale of new and used textbooks. The" report states, "During this period the Retail Stores trans ferred $155,000 to the Student Aid Office, of which $30,000 was used for Grants-In-Aid. In addition, the Retail Stores, held $200,000 in reserve for 'Expansion and Improvement.' " The Retail Stores' transfers to the Student Aid Office for 1963 64 will be $175,000, of which $40, 000 will be used for grants-in-aid, according to the report. Construction of the new Book Exchange, costing $500,000, will begin in the spring and will be paid for over a period of years with profits from the retail stores. The committee's investigation showed that ". . . of the $247,689 to be awarded as scholarships and fellowships during 1963-64, only $115,000 is to be transferred from the retail stores, with the balance coming from " various other sources." The committee submitted its report to Don Curtis, chairman of campus affairs, and Student Body President Mike "Lawler af ter agreeing" in a recent meeting that it had been effectively block ed in its attempt to obtain de partmental book-lists. It was the conclusion of the committee that such restricting of textbooks lists is "completely unwarranted" by the circum stances. The profits of the Book X from the sale of textbooks do not ap pear to be essential to the con tinuation of any of the UNC scholarship programs, the com mittee said. "On the other hand, a student textbook co-operative would be beneficial to many of the same students who are assisted through scholarship programs." The student co-op committee was established last spring by Lawler with Bob Jones as its chairman. MICK By MICKEY BLACKVVELL Bobby Culp and Larry Ledford, BVP residents, got a real sur prise when they returned to Gas tonia after watching most of the Duke game Thanksgiving. They left the game with three minutes to go. They drove back home in a radioless car, cussing all the way. It was not until after they had made the 150-mile trek that they discovered UNC had won in the final minutes on Max Chapman's field goal. A little earlier in the season it was Chapman who was cuss ing all the way to the field house. Those who were still in control of their senses at the end of the State game will remember Max lying on the ground some three inches short of the goal line. So close, yet so far away Max pushed the ball into the end zone and moaned. Three inches and no score. Then 42 yards away and three points. Three points which were as good as three thou sand. And now, neighbors, it's time for our weakly sing along. This is sung to the tune of "Matilda." All together now. "Otelia. "Otelia. "Otelia, she take my manners and run to Lenoir Hall.

Bob fell out of OK Yack Other Major Bills Passed In Big Session By HUGH STEVENS A busy Student Legislature fought its way through several significant issues in its regular session Thursday. Some of the action taken: Approval of a resolution backing the Interfraternity Coun cil in its stand on social privil eges for bull pledges and in actives. Appropriation of $1,697.83 to the Daily Tar Heel for a new truck. Unanimous support of a reso lution urging that the new 975 man living unit be named for the late President Kennedy. Appropriation of $2,460 for the printing of additional Yacke-ty-Yacks. Unanimous support of the UNC Fencing Club in its efforts to achieve varsity status. Mike Chanin and Bo Edwards, sponsors of the IFC resolution. asked the body to support the IFC in its presentation to the Faculty Committee on Fraterni ties concerning a new social status for bull pledges and in actives. Chanin noted the contributions made to the campus by fraterni ties, and said he felt it was un fair to exclude certain members from social activities. The IFC recently voted to al low inactives and bull pledges to attend social functions and pay social fees. "The fraternity system needs our support in this matter," Ed wards said. "This is a point of student self-regulation, and I believe this body supports that principle." Charlie Battle, IFC president, answered questionts concerning the status of fraternity scholar ship. Neal Jackson spoke for the resolution, saying he felt that the new IFC rule was not detri mental to house scholarship. "This body," the resolution says, "feels that the IFC has acted with responsibility in its decision." The bill for the DTH truck re- (Continued on Page 3) the tree while trying to hang up the mistletoe. He got hung in the Christmas lights and lit up like a Roman canble.

They were aided in various ways by Sandra Morgan, Mike Ncwsion, Patty Nash, Susan Maiuszak, Mar tha Capel, Pat Stebbins, Susan Adams and a cute little number from New Orleans named Sybil. Sam Kelly, who lives about 10 miles from Mebane just couldn't make it for jury duty Thursday at Superior Court in Hillsboro. "My hearing ain't what it used to be," Sam said. "The words just run together. I don't know ex actly what the trouble is." Sam was excused from jury duty. He is 62 years old. Well, sports fans, I got my Gator Bowl tickets yesterday. If ycur tickets are for the South end, then I know I won't be alone in the end zone. I really couldn't believe the seats were in the end zone, and the fourth row up at that. It seems to me that students, who are the ones that really support the team, should receive better seats than that. Oh, well, maybe if we peer out behind our hot dogs, and get ourselves a firtst-class periscope, we might be able to tell what's going on. See you later at the Gator. Maybe. SUP
