For Posing
As Students
Joel Fleischman and Roger
Foushee, former TJNC under
grads, will go before the Men's
Council tomorrow night to an
swer charges of "impersonating
students."
, Whitney Durand, Attorney-General,
yesterday charged the two
with "trying to act like students
and attempting to overthrow stu
dent government at UNC."
Fleischman and Foushee issu
ed a joint statement last night
claiming they had been framed.
"This is the work of a power
ful, highly-organized group in
Student Government, and is a
kangaroo, railroad job," the
statement charged.
o They named Buzzy Stubbs, Du
rand, Mike Lawler and Walter
Spearman as the group which
spurred the charges.
Reportedly, the action was
brought after Fleischman, legal
advisor to Governor Terry San
ford, had been initiated into a
local fraternity. He charged
that Stubbs and Durand were
jealous because he did not
.pledge either of their houses and
that Lawler was irritated be
cause "he thought I was a true
dormie."

In a surprise move, the Chapel

passed unanimously the strongest
civil rights package ever enact

The package included a Public

A spokesman for the Chapel Hill

for several months, fainted when
informed of the Aldermen's ac

Four Killed
In Big Riot
Riots left five dead and six
wounded last night after a pro
test rally brought on by the an
nouncement for reelection by
Gary Blanchard and David Eth

was in the lower quad, where
1,000 students gathered with ban
ners opposing the co-editors fas
cist stand.
"We don't want these people
again," shouted one student, just
as he was stabbed in the back
by a member of the Young Ameri
cans for Freedom (YAF), the
group which has been behind
Blanchard and Ethridge since
their campaign last spring.
Dean of Men William G. Long
termed the episode the worst
since the Doug Moe riots five
years ago. "This is a disgrace,"
he said. "The fact that those two
nuts are running again is a dis
grace upon the good name of this
university.
The dead were identified as
Herman Goodnik, 22, Negro; Al

to accept the presidency of the
Americans for Democratic Action

group of liberals.
Phipps said he was taking the
position in an effort "to do from
the inside what I've failed to do
from the outside fight Socialism."
Phipps said he was not certain
how he would achieve this. goal,
but said he planned to start by
firing Adlai Stevenson and Al
Lowenstein from the ADA's exe
cutive committee.
Former UNC President Frank
Pcrter Graham wept openly at
the news of Phipps' selection.
Graham said he was "too crush

President Lyndon B. Johnson
called a hurried meeting of the

Low campus sources revealed Friday that Uni
versity President William C. Friday and Campus
Safety Chief Arthur J. Beaumont will enter the
Democratic primary in May.
Friday announced Saturday for the gubernatorial
nomination. Beaumont has filed for director of the
State Bureau of Investigation.
Friday said he expected support from North
Carolina conservatives, liberals, and middle-of-the-roaders.
"With such a broad base of support," he said,
"I don't expect too much trouble. The only candidate
I'm really worried about is. Ray Stansbury I can't
sing like he can. Of course, when you think about
it, that may be an asset, not a liability."
Beaumont, informed that the office of SBI director
is not an-elective office, said affably, "Nobody's
going to tell me what office I can get into. Every

Merchants Association
Will Fast At Town Hall
f The Chapel Hill Merchants As
sociation yesterday announced it
will conduct a six-day fast next
week "because most of us are
too fat, and also because we're
tired of tending shop."
T Joe Augustine, executive secre
tary, made the announcement
yesterday. He said he plans to
burn himself slightly at the end
of the fast to prove to his mem
bership that "white men can be
militant, too."
Veteran local observers said
they doubted the 37 merchants
scheduled to participate in the
food fast would really stick with
the scheme.
"I'll give you ten-tp-one odds
that after the first day you'll
be able to find chicken bones in
the vicinity," one of the obser
vers said.
Augustine denied there would
be any "fudging" and said the
fast would be held on the steps
of Town Hall.
Gov. Terry Sanford immedi
ately issued a statement that
town officials would be "given
every resource at my command"
to prevent the fasters from get
ting unruly.
"This is a helluva way to do
business," Sanford said.
MILTON ROSEN has been
named to the UNC Faculty as

movement.

Concept Changed
Apartments for UNC students
have been abolished, according
to Dean of Women Katherine Car

tion to the problem which has
plagued student bodies for the
past two years," the Dean said.
This ruling will nullify the
Apartment Rule previously enforc
by the administration, which re
quired that no coed be alone in
an apartment with a man.
Rules applicable to students liv

The. three minor gubernatorial
candidates echoed Sanford's
words in varying degrees of
harshness.
I. Beverly Lake said, "The
only thing wrong with the Gov
ernor's statement is that it came
three hours too late. If I were
Governor I'd read their minds
and make my statements in ad-"
vance of the events which they
concern."
Dan K. Moore read Lake's
statement to himself, then re
marked to a reporter, "This goes
for me too."
L. Richard Preyer said he had
studied the situation and was
told to agree with the essence of
Sanford's statement by Bert
Bennett.
The two major gubernatorial
candidates also issued state
ments. "I'm for legalized gamb
ling," said Bozo Burleson, a ju
do expert.
"We must prevent our insur
ance money from going to South
Dakota,", said Ray Stansbury.
Town Is Indicted
The Town of Chapel Hill yes
terday was indicted for con

Grand Jury, operating under the
instructions of District Solicitor
Thomas "Dickie" Cooper.
In a sealed presentment leak
ed to the press- hours before the
initial announcement, Cooper
said: "I . . . that is, the Grand
Jury . . . feels that there can
be no question about this mat
ter. "For several months now, the
white majority of Chapel Hill has
stood silently by in the know
ledge that civil disobedience law
breaking was about to occur.
"This amounts to the town be
ing an accessory before the fact,
which in my book equals conspir
acy." Another

Beaumont said he expected to draw heavy sup
port from the Drama Society of North Carolina.
"I've been in every campus show hereabouts for
years now," he said, "and my face should be fa
miliar to the public."
Friday vigorously denied accusations that he was
running for governor in order to get out of Chapel
Hill.
"Chapel Hill is alright," he said. "I don't mind
the panty raids in the spring, the demonstrations
all summer and winter, the fights with the alumni,
the fights with the legislature, the fights over stu
dent autonomy, the fifty thousand phone calls I get
every day, the problems with the budget, the speaker

SL Adopts
Speaker Ban
Student Legislature adopted an
apparent strategy of "fighting a
ban with a ban" last night and
passed a measure preventing
"any member of the N. C. Gen
eral Assembly from speaking on
the campus of any state-supported
institution."
The student action came at a
special session called in the
wake of a special meeting of the
General Assembly earlier in the
day. The state legislators voted
to extend the controversial "Gag
Law" to prevent "any and all
persons from speaking in, around
or near the campus of any school
financed in whole or in part with
state funds."
Assembly President Clarence
Stone rushed the measure into
law by knocking three state sen
ators in the head with his gavel
when they rose to challenge the
measure's constitutionality.
"I'm running this damn show,"
Stone said from his throne.
"What I say goes. The people
of the great state of North Caro
lina want this law, and they're
going to get it."
Informed of the General As
sembly's action, Consolidated
University officials rushed to
Raleigh but were jailed when
they attempted to rush Stone on

man comes over every day and keeps us informed
on what's going on over there."
He also said his experience with the legislature
would help him win.
"None of the other candidates has ever had to
face the Legislature and fight for a budget," he
said. "And none of them has ever gotten a pay
raise from the Legislature without either fighting
for it or wanting it either."
Beaumont said he was basing his campaign on
better enforcement of parking regulations.
"The way I see it," he said, "the careless driver
is, more often than not, a careless parker, too. If
we give everyone five tickets, we can revoke their

fairs C. O. Cathy for the post.
Lawler's opponents, Jeff Dick
son of the Student Party aud Bcb
Spearman University Party,
said they were extremely sur
prised at the unprecedented
move by Lawler.
Dickson noted, "But gosh a
mighty! Mike was supposed to
be running my campaign."
Spearman reported, "That he
was disappointed that he'd have
such a formidable opponent in
the spring election. "After all,"
he said, "I've been planning on
bein? president of the student
body now for three years. I'll
just have to work harder."
Rumors have it that Lawler
dropped five courses to retain
his eligibility.

CORRECTION
The editors deeply regret their
statement in yesterday's paper
that a well-known campus conser
vative "is not fit to clean out a
hog pen." We realize that it was
rude and uncalled for in the ten
ets of today's journalism. Actual
ly, he is fit to clean out a hog
pen.

Erickson announced his action

"I don't mind them being segre

heard they were planing to 'plow

Rights law passes, and damned
if I want to see my investment
lost like that."

Samuel X., a high-school drop

pledged to "do all in my power

Roy Armstrong, secretary of
the Foundation, said Samuel X.
was chosen from a host of ap

"We were also considering
Muhammed Ali, formerly known
as Cassius Clay, and Malcolm

notified us they would be too
busy forming self-defense rifle
clubs to concentrate on study

137 years old this month, said
he decided to lower the color

ministers because "these people
think like I do.
"They're for separation of the
