says'-he .'will take legal action for personal damages against
Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity and the. Interfraternity Council.
He says he and the African student, Wilmot P. . K. Hage, were
called names and insulted by a group in front of the SAE house.
Hage, a Liberian who attends Benedict College in Columbia,
S. C, was Gardner's guest during the four-day Model United
Nations General Assembly. Hage was a delegate to the as
sembly. Four Items Under Protest

Friday Cites
UNC 'Crisis'
To Trustees
RALEIGH m University
President William C. Friday re
cited expected enrollment figures
Monday and then asserted, "It
is clear that a crisis is upon us."
. Friday said college enrollment
in the state reached 94,993 and
will climb to 107,800 this fall, to
160,000 by 1370 and to 205,000 by
1975.
Speaking to the University's
Board of Trustees at . its quarterly
meeting in Raleigh, he added that
last fall there were 24,772 students
enrolled in the three branches
of the University, or nearly half
of those enrolled in public col
leges and unversities.
"If this percentage were main
tained, we would have to enroll
46,217 students in the university
in 1970," Friday said.
"It is clear that a crisis is
upon us, he continued. We as
sure you that we will give much
attention , during the coming year
tdT"planning the best use of all
resources available to the univer
sity for meeting this situation.
"North Carolina must continue
to provide the opportunity for
post-high school study to those
high school graduates who have
prepared themselves and are
willing to work."
Friday told the trustees the
University had requested $83 mil
lion in capital improvements at
its three branches and that the
Advisory Budget Commission has
recommended $37.2 million of the
request be approved by the Gen
eral Assembly.
He noted that Gov. Dan Moore
at a news conference last week
told reporters he is considering
asking the General Assembly' for
a bond issue for additional im
provements at educational insti
tutions. "This is indeed encouraging to
us," Friday said.
He pointed out that it takes two
years to erect a building after it
is - authorized by the legislature.
"If we have to delay until 1967
to get authorization for construc
tion, it is clear that we shall not
be able to meet enrollment de
mands," he said.

To
Keep
State House Meeting Place
By HUGH STEVENS
DTH Co-Editor
The N. C. State Student Legis
lature has been "evicted" and
has called upon the General As
sembly for help.
For years, SSL's annual ses
sions have been held in the
chambers of the old State
House, but a ruling from the
Department of Archives and
History may move this year's
meeting, scheduled for this
week, out of the building.
After attempting for days to
obtain the building, student
leaders at Carolina and N. C.
State prepared last night to ob
tain a favorable ruling from the
General Assembly.
A resolution supporting the
right of SSL to use the build
ing was expected to be intro
duced under a suspension of
the rules at the 8 p.m. session
of the legislature.
Official Groups
Bob Spearman, SSL Presi
dent, said he had been informed
by Dr. Christopher Crittenden
that a 1961 law prohibits use
of the building by any except
official state bodies. ' Critten
den is head of tne Archives and
History Department.
The DTH learned last night
that Crittenden intended to
testify against the proposed
resolution if it was introduced.
Previously, Crittenden h a d

in respect to racial discrimination and University coddling of
illegal behavior in and near the premises of these University
chartered organizations."
s Gardner said he has contacted representatives of civil rights
groups and the Free Speech Movement at Berkeley.
"The Chapel Hill protest rally has been assured of simul
taneous sympathy rallies at the University of California," he
said.
"Contact has also been made with civil rights and free
speech groups in Detroit, at Syracuse and Brandeis Universi
ties. It is planned that telephone communication will be estab
lished with these sympathy rallies at the time of the rally on
the UNC campus.
"The time and place of the open meeting will be announced
after an executive meeting of coordinating groups Monday
night."
"I would welcome fraternity participation in open discus
sion. "Mr. McKissick has been invited to address the rally. The
speakers will also register protest against the Speaker Ban
Law and I will announce a knowing violation of that law in
the recent past at UNC."
McKissick Informed
McKissick, contacted in Durham, said he had been informed
of the rally, but "details are not definite and I can't say now
whether or not I'll be there."
Gardner said, "We are seeking normal administrative per
mission to hold this meeting and are planning to take every
step to insure it does not interrupt the real work of the Uni
versity. "Should such permission, which has normally been granted
for political rallies in the past, be denied, we intend to follow
the successful policies of the Free Speech Movement at the
University of . California which has successfully won the as
surance of an open forum for the expression of ideas of any
nature."
McKissick confirmed Gardner's statement that local and na
tional CORE organizations may take legal action against UNC
fraternities which have racially discriminatory clauses in their
constitutions.
Gardner said that local and national organizations will "seek
to determine if the University's chartering of fraternities and
sororities, which according to Dean of Men William G. Long
have racial clauses in their constitution, does not violate the
University's act of compliance with, the Civil Rights Act of
1964." ' '
Long told the DTH yesterday that a survey concerning fra
ternity discrimination was begun last October. He said that
although the study is not finished, to the best of his knowledge
about five of UNC's fraternities have discriminatory constitu
tions. Denies Long's Statement
Gardner said he "vigorously denies" Long's statement that
his representative. Asst. Dean ' Larry McDevitt, was on the
scene of the incident Friday within five minutes after Gardner
called Long's office.
Gardner said in an interview yesterday that he called Long's
office within five minutes after the alleged incident, after first
notifying the Chapel Hill Police Department.
Long sent McDevitt to the scene. "I was at fraternity court
within three minutes,' McDevitt said. "The police were already
here and I spent about the next 30 minutes interviewing by
standers. So far we have found no witnesses to the incident."
"Unfortunate," Says Sharp
Chancellor Paul F. Sharp said, "This is one of those alleged
incidents which, if true, is unfortunate but only an incident.
If this event did occur, it in no way reflects the spirit of this
campus or its students."
Student Body President Bob Spearman has apologized to
the African student in behalf of UNC students and says, "I have
instructed the attorney general to investigate the incident and
to determine whether any violations of the Campus Code have
taken place. Any alleged offenders will be dealt with through
the normal student judicial processes."
Dean Long said he has also given verbal and written apolo
gies to Hage and Gardner.

MORE THAN 2,000 Negroes, including teachers and school
children, marched to the Dallas County Courthouse in Selma,
Ala. yesterday in a massive demonstration underscoring their
voter registration drive.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who opened the campaign near
ly one month ago, led the first wave of .1,200 adults to the court
house, where the board of registrars received voter applica
tions. There was no trouble, no arrests.
A second wave of about 850 -Negro teen-agers, most of them
school children, arrived within an hour and - were turned back
by the city's public safety director, Wilson Baker. .
Then about 40 Negro teachers marched to the courthouse.
After a warning from Baker, some of the teachers moved to
the end of the blocks-long registration line and others walked
away.
When the teen-agers arrived, Baker diverted them.
A second wave of 160 teachers walked around the block
bounding the courthouse. Most went to the end of the long line.

PREMIER ALEXEI N. KOSYGIN hustled into secret talks
with Communist Party Boss Leonid L. Brezhnev in Moscow
Monday, minutes after returning from wartorn Viet Nam and
consultations with Chinese leaders in Peking.
Kosygin's 11-day trip through North Viet Nam, Red China
and North Korea is expected to play a key role, in shaping So
viet policy on Viet Nam. Soviet leaders did not even wait to
get back to the Kremlin to talk about it. After greeting airport
welcomers, Kosygin rushed into a private session with Brez
hnev and other top Soviet officials for 25 minutes in an airport
lounge.
Mrs. Brezhnev, Mrs. Kosygin, Defense Minister Rodion Y.
Malinovsky and other Soviet military men, and diplomats from
Communist China, North Viet Nam and North Korea, cooled
their heels outside.
After the hurried talks Brezhnev and Kosygin drove into
Moscow in separate cars. There were no statements at the air
port. Kosygin, who was in Hanoi during two American raids on
other parts of North Viet Nam last week, promised the North
Vietnamese Soviet military aid. It was his first crack at personal
diplomacy in Asia since he succeeded Nikita Khrushchev as
premier last October and he found himself personally involved
in the "Viet Nam crisis.
THE GOVERNMENT makes a third effort today to send
striking dock workers back to their jobs at West Gulf Coat

of work gangs.
Longshoremen returned to work at New York and some
other major ports during the weekend. But disputes still have
ports tied up in South Atlantic and West Gulf jurisdictions.
