14 .... Tie Weather Partly cloudy and continued warmer. CHAPEL HILL, NORTH CAROLINA, SATURDAY. APRIL 18, 1964 Founded Feb. 23, 1893 United Press International Service Enforces Lenoir Hall Etiquette Lady Otelia By MICKEY BLACKWELL "Hello," the reporter said. "Hel . . . just a minute young fellow," the gray haired lady began. "I'm not going to talk to anybody who's chewing gum. If you want to talk to me, you'll have to throw that gum away. Only common people chew gum in public." o The reporter threw the gum away. Chapel Hill's Queen of Manners had spoken. Otelia Connor, champion of courtesy is a stickler on raan : ners. She has taken it upon herself to correct "the terrible man ners that many of our students have." Rare is the UNC student who has not been told to sit up straight at the table or to put his feet on the floor or to hold the door open for a lady or to stand up when a lady enters the room. Otelia carries her crusade on in person in the campus dining hall, in classrooms, at meetings or anywhere she sees a violation of good manners. She also counsels to the student body through letters pub lished in the DTH. And it is through these letters that Otelia Connor, .who is 69 years old has encountered much opposition to her program of good manners. Many students write in letters of rebuttal to some of Otelia's remarks. Some also write uncomplimentary poems about her. But this criticism doesn't bother Otelia. "You've got to be able to take it as well as dish it out," she said. "When I write about something, I realize that I must accept remarks that some of the students say. Either that or quit writing." "But," she added, "most of the students ask me to keep writing the letters." Otelia began her good manners campaign in 1957 when she r x : ins A VIEW FROM THE SIDEWALK As the old recording says, You can look, but you better not touch," and men, that's exactly the situation on the Cobb lawn.

C. A UNC student identified by police as Arthur A. Rauchfuss III, of Lenoir, was shot "and killed by a Myrtle Beach policeman Friday. The youth, who reportedly left his classes on April 3, had been working at a Myrtle Beach restaurant. Police Sergeant W. L. Chest nut said he shot at a youth flee ing the scene of a burglary at the Corral (Men's Shop, , a new haberdashery just getting ready to open for the summer season. Chestnut said he fired first into the air and when the youth did not stop, he shot again, this time hitting the fleeing youth. Police Chief Carlyle Newton said that identification of the locks Bid To Shuit Out NSA President Elect Bob Spearman left the speaker's chair to de fend the appropriation and ex plain some of its functions. Stu dent Party Floor Leader Phil Baddour also came to NSA's res cue. "Just because many people at NSA are more liberal than we are, this is no reason to leave," said Baddour. "In fact, it is all the more reason for us to stay in. . ; . This came as a direct answer to Parker's claim that many southern schools have- with he Walks I,et Mickey Introduce Chapel Queen Of moved to Chapel Hill from Durham where her late husband was a tobacco executive. "My first letter was on 'Let's Behave at the Basketball Games,' " Otelia said. "And I've been writing on and off ever since." . Otelia has been told by many people that she doesn't look her age, to which she replies, "A woman is as young as she feels." She also added with a gravely laugh, "A man is old when he stops looking." Her favorite outfit is a fire-engine red dress and a wide-brim rainbow-colored hat is her campus trademark. She is a short woman, a few inches over five feet, and her face is wrinkled with age. Otelia then invited the reporter, minus his chewing gum, to step inside her big rooming house which she shares with four other people. ' "You smoke?" she asked. - "No." . - "Good," she replied. "Don't ever start. I wish I hadn't.

After all, as someone in the Dean's office was auoted as saying, "This could lead to a coeducational lawn scene." Oh well, there's always the beach. Photo by Jim Wallace youth was traced through a fraternity pin. The shooting occurred at 3:45 a.m. Friday in the back lot of the haberdashery. Officer Her man Fowler had discovered the robbery and had called Chest nut for assistance. Police Chief Newton said the officers found a broken window in the adjacent Allen's Office Supply store. As the officers entered the building, police said, the youth fled through a rear entrance. The shots followed. In Chapel Hill, Rauchfuss' former roommate, Norman Leafe of Charlotte said the last time he saw the youth was at Easter after he returned from the holidays. Leafe said he had heard that drawn from the organization be cause of its extremely liberal character. Baddour further said that the UNC influence in NSA was extremely high, and that our withdrawal might wreck the organization. Spearman, who will be inaugu rated President of the Student Body at special ceremonies next Thursday, gave examples of UNC delegates to NSA who have learned many things about stu dent government at the conven tions. He said they have return ed to the campus and put them Softly, Blackicell You To HilVs Manners Mr ,triVif- nnr nfi Rauchfuss was going "to leave school for a week. "I figured he would be back," Leafe said. Dean of Men William G. Long said he first heard about Rauch fuss leaving school late the after noon of April 3. "Someone (Long declined to name the sex of the person) called me and said they had given a ride to a person who said he was a UNC student and a member of Phi Gamma Delta fraternity. "The person didn't give the name of the boy, but after checking with members of Phi Gamma Delta, it was deter mined that Rauchfuss was the (Continued on Page 3) into practice, and he cited Jim Fullwood's work with the Men's Residence Council as an ex ample of this. The Student Legislature gave most of its time Thursday even ing to consideration of the 1964 summer school budget and the 1964-65 fiscal budget. Most of the budget passed at the four-and-one-half hour session, and final approval is expected Tues day night. Specific action on the finance package saw the defeat of Rep Laony Snuffs motion to cut a I just a silly nervous habit. I don't even inhale. "You ask me some of the things that upset me. Well. I'll tell you," she said as she took a quick puff from her cigarette. "When someone puts an empty tray on my table, I jump all over him. When a student drags a chair away from my table without asking if it's all right to do so, I correct him. "I slapped a law student on the leg one day with my um brella," she said. "I told him to put his feet down on the floor . and to sit up. He never sat with me any more, but he sits up straight now. ' "However," Otelia added, "most of the students appreciate s my criticism. Manners evidently are not taught in the home any 1 longer." Otelia's campaign includes personal dress as well as table manners. "University students shouldn't be allowed to wear their shirts on the outside," she said. "They look like they just got out of bed." 1 "And a lot of these students don't wear any socks. Their feet get awfully dirty. Students should take more pride in the appear ance of their clothes," she said. "Some of the clothes look like they came out of a garbage can." Otelia said she has noticed a general improvement in stu dents' manners since she began her corrective campaign. "Students aren't saying 'Huh,' and 'Uh Huh,' as much as they used to. They aren't chewing gum as much in public either," she said looking the reporter squarely in the eye. "But table manners still need to be improved on," she said. "People prop themselves up on their elbows. They put their feet on the tables. They've got weak muscles.

"I think the YMCA should take a non-partisan position in this campaign,!' said Niki Nich olson, YMCA Secretary. He continued, "If you allow this sign to stay up, pretiy soon there will be ones for Lodge, Rocke feller, Scranton, Romney, and Johnson and Kennedy and the whole thing will just get out of hand. Even though I personally am a Democrat, I think the Y should just stay out of it." Charles Hooks, .

"The Republicans know what they are doing they are out to win," said Hooks. Speaking for the UNC-YDC, Bill Davis said, "Things are look ing good as a matter of fact, things are looking real good.

He said the animal might be listed on the ballot simply as Billy Goat. Duke Prof Given Heavy Sentence . HILLSBORO Prof. Harmon Lee Smith, the last of five Duke professors to be tried on tres pass charges, was sentenced to 90 days at hard labor and court costs by Orange County Super ior Court Judge Raymond B. Mallard here Friday. The 34-year old professor, one of 10 defendants in the Chapel Hill civil rights cases, said that he would appeal the decision shortly after court was recessed until Monday.

Khrushchev, warmed by the praise cf old comrades and an outpouring of the nation's bright est honors of his 70th birthday, said Friday the Soviet Union will "not break off relations" with Communist China. His voice choked with emotion as he admitted he has "not so much time left" but it was clear that he had no plans to retire. He appeared still firmly in control over the Soviet government and Cornmunist party. Khrushchev's statement Friday and a birthday greeting Thursday from Chinese Communist leader Mao Tse-tung calling their split only - temporary indicated that both the Soviet . Union and Com munist China have retreated from . severing relations. Khrushchev also extolled Soviet military might but said::" "We do not want to blow the trumpet and we plan no campaigns; -but we must always keep up the guard,, remember the responsibility ' which rests with the" Soviet Union," - Gum Lose Its Flavor?

All pleaded nolo conten dere (no contest) to the resisting arrest charge and eight of the nine made the same plea on the latter count. Three of the nine defendants were sentenced to two months at hard labor and court costs, sus pended on agreement to cer tain conditions set down by Mallard- The conditions included that they pay costs and agree not to engage in or be a part of civil rights demonstrations in any way for a three-year period. Furthermore, they) were pro hibited from physically accom panying any person participating in or about to participate in a demonstration. Six-month sentences at hard labor were handed one Duke student and one UNC student, suspended upon agreement to these conditions for a period of four years. Prayer for judgment was con tinued for four defendants until next Thursday in other court a ction. A jury consisting of five white women, four white women, four white men and three Negro men delivered the verdict in the Har mon case, after being released Thursday at 5:30 p.m. by Mal lard. They had deliberated for 90 minutes at that point. The other nine students were tried for participating in mas sive street and highway blocking incidents in Chapel Hill on Feb. 1 and Feb. 8. Mallard carefully questioned each defendant Thursday to insure that all had made their pleas freely, and the process was repeated Friday. The two days of court action are the first major break jn at tempting to try the estimated 1,400 cases awaiting trial. Prior to the completion of Smith's trial, only two cases had been completed. Jibe trials will resume Monday.
