The death of William George Prathey added a mysterious note to a thelt ring uncovered by Duke campus policemen Thursday. It has not been determined that Pralhey was connected with the ring, but officials indicated he may have been. Duke officials would not re lease the names of the three Duke students who have confessed to the string of thefts at UNC dur ing semester break. UNC Campus Safety Officer A. J. Beaumont said he is try ing to determine who owns a $600 portable Garrard stereo phonograph which Duke police say was stolen from UNC. The Duke officers said they have recovered 30 record al bums, a sunlamp, a suitcase, an electric shaver and a large varie ty of men's clothing.

Aycock Is Top Citizen UNC Chancellor William B. Ay cock was named last night as the "Citizen of the Year" at the first annual awards banquet of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Cham ber of Commerce. Aycock, who will leave the Chancellorship July 1 to return to his old job as Professor of Law, received the award in "sur prise" ceremonies at the Ranch House. Aycock was unaware that he would receive the award. Aycock was chosen by a secret committee of community leaders appointed by Charles M. Shaffer, president of the new Chamber of Commerce. The citation presented to Ay cock read: "In recognition of his untiring efforts to promulgate the acad emic excellence of the University of North Carolina; to develop an attitude of personal responsibili ty among al clitizens and a cor porate responsibility among all businesses; to instill an aura of affectionate understanding be tween the University and the Chapel Hill community. "The Chapel Hill - Carrboro Chamber of Commerce proudly bestows on William Brantley Ay cock this 1963 Citizen of the Year Award." announcipd yesterday that the giant spectacle will be held next Saturday, March 7 at the Intra mural Field. Fly-off time is 1:30 p.m. "Kite flying has been called a lost art," Stevens said, "and we hope to disprove this wild claim by having UNC students produce some top-flight flights next week." "I think UNC students can go fly a kite as well as anyone," he continued. Stevens and Mickey Blackwell, Executive Kite Editor, have made a number of trial runs from the Morehead Parking Lot in the past few days, and pronounced conditions "excellent" on clear days. Judging for the contest will be based on four categories: the larg est kite, the smallest kite, the most beautiful kite, and the kite with the most string out. "All kites must fly," Stevens said, "and all except those for the distance category should be homemade." A number of merchants will pro vide the prizes for the event, including pizza dinners, shirts, and records. The Hub, La Pizza and Kemp have donated prizes, as well as the Dairy Bar, which will give away all the banana splits that two people can eat at one sitting. Judges for the event are not completely set, but Joel Fleish man, legal assistant to the Gov ernor, has accepted and will be on hand to help decide the win ners. "We have invited Otelia Connor, and we are hopeful of getting Billy Cunningham, the Human Kite," Stevens announced. Individuals or groups may enter their kites, but no more than a three-man team may actually take part in the flying of the kite. Entrants should sign up at the DTH offices in Graham Memorial not later than 6 p.m. Friday. In case of inclement or unsuitable weather, the contest will be held on Sunday. The public is in vited. As an extra attraction, Fred Seely, DTH Kite Tail Editor, and a panel of judges will name a "Kite Queen" to be on hand for the event. Judges include Rose mary Ezra and Ginny Lawler. (Continued on Page 3) New Demonstrations Threatened In Md. PRINCESS ANNE, Md. (UPD Negro students, aided by comed ian Dick Gregory, stiffened their desegregation demands Friday and threatened new demonstra tions in this racially tense college town where violence has erupted. Gregory and student leaders from Maryland State College met with town officials. In addition to their previous de mand for immediate desegrega tion of all restaurants, the Ne groes demanded: Complete desegregation of all public facilities. That all charges be dropped against demonstrators arrested during previous disturbances that trigge43d violence. Businesses in town begin hir ing Negroes immediately. Mistrial Called For Woman Sit-In A mistrial was declared Thurs day night in the Women's Council ing out of her residence hall over out of her residence hall over night without permission in con nection witii a sit-in protest. The Women's Council gave three reasons for declaring the mis trial: ' ' " 1. There was a lack of clarifi cation of the charge against the coed. A misunderstanding arose whether "unladylike conduct" was included in the charge. The Coun cil ruled that it was not. 2. The material witnesses did not prepare or submit adequate written statements. According to Women's Council procedure, ma terial witnesses should prepare written statements of their con nection with the case or informa tion they wish to introduce. These statements should be given to the investigating member of the Attorney General's staff assign ed to the case. 3. There was a lack of ade quate communication between the defense counsel and the Attorney General's staff. Women's Council chairman Sara Anne Trott said the trial had been rescheduled for Monday at 6:30 p.m. in room 09 of Gardner Hall. A second coed also was schedul ed to appear before the Council on a similar charge. Her trial was postponed until Monday night. 5 Students Get D. C.

Spar row have been selected, accord ing to Dr. Donald Matthews of the Political Science Depart ment.

The Governor's Office report ed that the State Interns would be announced sometime next week. The Governor's legal ad visor, Joel Fleishman, said the interns have been picked, but not all of them had replied to the acceptance letters. BEAT DOOK Despite snow, fireworks lit up Fetzer Field last night just prior to the UNC Dook freshmen match, as part of a Beat Dook Pep Rally. Today's varsity game will wind up MRC President Denies Statement Rendleman Strikes Back Ehringhaus President Dave Rendleman yesterday countered charges by Men's Residence Council President Gerry Good that Rendleman should be im peached for "malperformiance of duties." Rendleman said Good's cahrges "are ridiculous with no basis whatsoever. "This whole thing is a total surprise to me," Rendleman said. "I was really shocked at iMr. Good's absurd charges." Good yesterday denied making the statement that appeared in the DTH. He commented "I have made no formal accusa tions, nor will I make formal accusations, except in the MRC hearing. "This is MRC business, and if Mr. Rendleman desires to dis close it to the press it is up to him." Good was quoted in yesterday's DTH as saying that Rendleman would face possible impeach ment at a special MRC meeting Monday. Good said Rendleman hadn't attended the last five MRC meetings, had allowed residents to open a keg of beer in the social room last Sunday and had not answered any official mail. In reply to these charges, Rendelman said, "I just can't understand Mr. Good coming up with something like that with out doing some investigation in the dormitory." Rendleman answered the charges individually. "Mr. Good has called cn me Cheim Fraternity By MAT FRIEDMAN "We try to get away from chemistry and we try to advance chemistry." This, according to President Gilbert Merritt, is the philoso phy behind the Carolina chapter of Alpha Chi Sigma, the na tional chemistry fraternity. Mer ritt feels that the group has been successful on both counts. "I think we are unique," he says, "in that we are a profes sional fraternity in orientation, but a fraternity that does some ..... v,"- II L a -.4 UNC's regular for next week's from the floor of those five meet ings he accuses me of missing. So I couldn't have missed five straight meetings." Concerning the second charge, Rendleman said, "If I was to be held responsible for that, why weren't charges brought against me then. Charges were brought against the dormitory secretary, but they were drop ped Thursday." Rendleman said, to his knowl edge, he had only failed to an swer one mail query, and that was from the Campus Chest, of which Good is co-chairman. "I tried to call Mr. Good three times in his dorm, but he's never in. I also tried to con tact him through Jim Fullwood, chairman of the MRC Court. I also understand there are five other dorms which haven't an swered Mr. Good's letter. "I think the whole situation boils down to a personality con flict between .Mr. Good and my self. I don't know why he's after LAST CALL!! Students in English 2 and 21 are reminded that today is the last day to purchase special low rate tickets for the Carolina Play makers production of "J. B." Tickets will be on sale in Y Court from 8:45 until noon. Re serve seat tickets are one dollar each, a savings of fifty percent. "J. B." will be presented March 10-16. thing. I feel we do quite a bit with chemistry." Merritt is one of 50 chemis try majors in the organization which is open to those going on to a career in the chemical field. If you have ever been in a chemistry laboratory, you've probably seen some evidence of the work of ACS. "We carry on a safety pro gram," says Merritt, "by try ing to make sure that working conditions in the laboratory are always safe. We put up safety' 1 .'."WMBlWrnQKr '.- season play and pave the way ACC Tournament in Raleigh. Photo by Jim Wallace me. "Normally I wouldn't bother 'answering such ridiculous charges, but under the existing circumstances, I feel I am justi fied in doing so." After Wednesday night's MRC meeting, at which Good made the charges against Rendleman, a petition was circulated in parts of Ehringhaus saying that Ren dleman was doing an excellent job as president and was great ly responsible for Ehringhaus' quick rise in dormitory point competition. Another petition was circulated in the dorm saying that Good's action was ridiculous and un justified. Several hundred names are on the petition. SCIENCE NEWS posters and first aid boxes, and see that the fire extinguishers are in working order. So far, we haven't lost anyone. "In addition, every fall we hold a slide rule class which is open to anyone who needs it. The response has always been excellent; this year, about 85 took the course." But Merritt is quick to point out that the ACS theme is not "all work and no play." - "We feel," he says, "that the fraternity provides a way for chemistry majors to know each By JOHN MONTAGUE A dark, dark cloud hangs over the North Carolina basketball scene. If there is a silver lining behind that cloud, we'll know it by four o'clock this afternoon. Powerful Duke the nation's fourth best basketball team so the writers say comes to Woollen Gym at two this afternoon own ing a 19-4 record, a 12-1 mark in the ACC and five straight victor ies over the Tar Heels. The Blue Devils are a good bet to make it six in a row this after noon. But then Sonny Liston was a good bet to smash Cassius Clay, the Yankees were favored in the last World Series and the Giants were a solid choice over the Bears for the NFL title. Coach Dean Smith's squad could be in better shape than they are. As if the current slump wasn't enough, the Tar Heels have also been hit by the injury bug. Char lie Shaffer is definitely out with a sprained ankle. Bill Galantai had his enflamed knee drained yesterday and will see little if any action. And the bench is even shorter with the illness of Jim Smithwick and Bill Harrison. "This is the worst physical con dition we've been in," said Smith UNC Bill defeated RALEIGH A bill introduced by UNC to make the state General Assembly unicameral was sound ly defeated in the first session of the N. C. State Student Legis- lature. Thursday night. . . The vote was 21 to 75 against the bill in the House of Represen tatives. It received only four votes in the Senate. Whitney Durand introduced the bill for the UNC delegation in the House. Durand said a one-House legis lature would be more efficient, less costly and more responsible. He cited the Nebr. Legislature as an example of unicameralism. Pete Wales, delegation chair man, and Phil Baddour also spoke for the bill in the House. They cited recent Supreme Court cases, particularly the "Georgia Case," indicated a trend to representa tion on the basis of population only. Thus, there is no need for a second house with represen tation based on geography. Karen Rawlings, graduate stu dent in Political Science, introduc ed the bill in the Senate, and Dick Ellis aided in the debate. A long parliamentary procedure battle accompanied the debate be fore the bill was defeated. In other business, a public ac commodations law proposed by North Carolina College passed both House and Senate. A voca tional education bill proposed by Duke Men was tabled. In business yesterday, a voice resolution was passed to boycott the segregated soda shop in the Hotel Carolina where the dele gations are staying. Two of the Negro delegates had been refused service at lunch period. The soda shop is not un der the management of the ho tel, which is integrated. There was only one dissenting vote in the House and none in the Senate. A Constitutional amendment to require that county coroners be licensed physicians, proposed by N. C. State, passed both houses unamended. Bills to cut government subsidies to tobacco farmers and to grant state aid to students attending private colleges were defeated. It's Unique other on a social level. The group does not go in for big parties, just friendship and fel lowship. "Our work seldom gives us a chance to see the light of day. It seems that there is barely enough time to run from Venable to Lenoir and back to Venable again, so we don't really have time for any big social pro gram." Of the 50 active members in ACS, about half are married and half are graduate students. They come from all regions of yesterday. We were held back some by the illness of some of the boys in early January the No tre Dame game and the first Wake Forest game but I be lieve this is worse." How will the Tar Heels make up for the rebounding of Shaffer in a game in which rebounds may toe at a premium? "It's impossible to make up for Charlie's offensive rebounding," Smith said, "but. in the main, we'll look to (Bob) Bennett, (Bry an) McSweeney, and of course Billy (Cunningham) for good work under the boards." The coach, who admitted the last two weeks have been his biggest disappointment as a coach, also said that Mike Cooke will be playing in Shaffer's offen sive spot with either Ray Hassell or Johnny Yokley handling quart erback chores (normally Cooke's duty). Cunningham, who'll be trying hard for a personal comeback aft er two off-games, is set for the pivot, with McSweeney and Ray Respess at the forwards. Ben nett is likely to be the No. 1 front court sub, with Pud Hassell ("real good defensively") and Artie Katz ("did good rebound job at Virginia") also ready for reserve duty. In the first meeting with Duke (won by the Devils, 84-64), Smith tried a somewhat different offense which saw Cunningham bringing the ball up court, setting up the play and then going for the bas ket. It was only partially success ful, and Smith says he probably will not use it again unless it is necessary to avoid a tight Duke press. "Duke has great reserve strength at the guards," said Smith. "Often they'll try to wear the other team's guards , out, by pressing IhiSm "all over the court. With Cunningham back there, w3 thought they'd have to put a big man on him and thus loosen up their defense a bit. But (Hack) Tison really surprised us with his defensive ability last time." The bench is just one big strong point of a balanced Duke Club which has many strong points. Coach Vic Bubas has the big men under the basket in 6-10 Jay Buckley (12.6) and 6-10 Ti son (12.3). He has able back court leadership in Buzzy Harri son (8.5) and Denny Ferguson. And he has a guy named Jeff Mullins. "Jeff is a tremendous shooter,' said Smith on the Ail-American forward who is second only to Cun ningham in ACC scoring with a 24.0 average. "He's got great speed and jumps a lot like Bobby Lewis. And he follows his shots beauti fully." The 6-4 Mullins is a ttop-notch offensive rebounder, and it has been the second shot along with the wicked fast break which has made the high-scoring Blue Devils what they are. When you look at that Duke roster, you know the Tar Heela are the underdogs. But as long as the Tar I'ils themselves don't know they're beat, anything can happen. This game this after noon will find the UNC boys on their home court. After a dis astrous road trip (5 losses in 6 games) it will be a welcome sight. Smith squelches all rumors of disunion on the club. He also doesn't make excuses. "We've shot poorly m some U 1 I t - .ii Suii, leuuuiiueu puuiiy in ouicrs and worked the ball poorly in others. But there's nothing wrong . with this team that a good win won't cure." That win could come today. But the Tar Heels will have to play their best game of the season to knock off the mighty Blue Devils in this, the one hundredth meet ing between the two arch-rivals. the country and many are from other branches of the fraternity. "Membership," says Merritt, "is a lifetime thing." The group began here in 1912. Dr. Venable was one of the ori ginal members. "One of our activities," says Merritt, "is getting chemists from the Chapel Hill area to speak to the fraternity on chem ical topics. Speakers come from UNC, Duke and Chemstrand. Our faculty adviser. Dr. D. C. Jicha, helps us get some very fine people."
