All On the GM Lawn
- Not Again!
By JOHN GREENBACKER
Near riot broke out Thursday night in the Lower Quad as an
estimated 200 male residents laid seige to "Everett Hall in protest
to Everett's celebration over winning the MRC "Best Hall on Cam
pus" award.
The demonstration was sparked by a torchlight parade held by
Everett residents which filed around the Lower and Upper Quads
between 9:50 and 10:05 p.m.
As the solemn procession moved past Graham Hall, irate Gra
hamites doused the marchers from second story windows with
trash cans filled with water, following a pattern set last year
when Everett staged a similar demonstration.
The marchers were booed loudly by Upper Quad residents, and
a large crowd of hecklers followed the torches back to Everett's
west entrance, opposite Lewis Hall.
As the demonstrators put out their torches and entered the build
ing, a group of seven half-naked Lewis residents, brandishing trash
cans filled with water and led by the Confederate flag, raced out
and soaked them thoroughly.
Other Lewis men manned the windows and helped to splash the
entire west end of Everett with water.
Amist cheers, cherry bomb explosions and occasional coarse
cries for a panty raid from the rapidly increasing crowd, the raid
continued .
A bucket brigade was set up between Lewis's first floor' bath
' room and Everett's west, steps, and water continued to flow until
Everett residents closed the windows and sealed the doors.
At one point during the seige, Lewis attackers managed to pry
the door open and pour a large amount of water down Everett's'
first floor hall, but swift and menacing action by one Everett
resident, reportedly an advisor, sent them sprawling to safety.
Lewis men attempted to attack the building from the north
side twice during fre fracas, but defenders with clubs, led by Ed
Crews of Everett, forced them back. . .
The water battle lasted from 10:05 to 10:25 p.m., when cries of
"the fuss" and "here comes John Law" scattered the curious.
Everett was inspected by Dean of Men William Long and
Assistant Dean Mat Ott, while Campus Police Chief Arthur Beau
mont watched the crowd break up.
The last of the spectators returned to their residences at 10:35,
but not without voicing the ominous prophesy, "Just wait till the
nights get hotter."

Stressing the necessity for a
"new climate" to implement
academic endeavor, Spearman
proposed a reading day before
exams, a course evaluation book

increased foreign exchange pro

to make "an individual commit

but encouraged them to join him
in boycotting segregated business
establishments.

Civil Rights movement receiving 12-month jail terms
for leading demonstrators in street-blocking protests
here last February.
John B. Dunne, 20, a Cleveland, Ohio native and form
er Morehead Scholar at UNC who heads the Chapel Hill
Freedom Committee, was charged on 10 counts.
Charged on 23 counts was Joseph "Buddy" Tieger,
21-year old Durham native and former Angier B. Duke
scholar at Duke University. Tieger was described by
Orange County Superior Court Judge Raymond B. Mal
lard as one who serves the cause, whether willingly or
not, of "international conspiracy that would destroy this

"professional agitator," also received an active one-year

NC Volunteers
To Choose Men
From Over 700
At the close of its six-week
recruiting campaign, the North
Carolina Volunteers has over 700
applications from college stu
dents who want to spend their
summer fighting poverty in
North Carolina. Next step for
the Volunteers is screening and
selecting 100 of the applicants
and placing them in community
service projects.
Teams of Volunteers, after a
three-day training period in mid
June, will be assigned to the
seven communities announced
April 20 by the North Carolina
Fund as sites of projects for
finding and showing new ways
to break the cycle, of poverty.
The North Carolina Fund is
sponsor of the N. C. Volunteers
organization.
Officials of the Volunteers are
setting up selection boards in
eight centers throughout the
state. The boards will be man
ned by college faculty members,
city business and civic . leaders
and representatives of community-service
agencies such as
welfare and public health de
partments. Boards will be loca
ted in Durham, Raleigh, Greens
boro, Chapel Hill, Winston-Salem,
Greenville, Charlotte and
Boone.
The selection boards will
pick some 200 Volunteers can
didates to be finalists. Material
on those selected will then go
to N. C. Volunteers headquar
ters, where a small, final-selection
committee will pick the
top 100 students.
Jim Beatty, director of the
NCV program, said yesterday
the screening should end May
7; the selectees will be notified
soon thereafter..
Beatty and his assistant, Cur
tis Gans, visited 40 N. C. col
leges, travelling 7,500 miles as
they criss-crossed the state dur
ing the recruiting campaign.
Beatty said that a number of
N. C. residents attending out-of-state
colleges have applied
for Volunteer service. Students
from other states attending N.
C. colleges are also being considered.
