One year ago, Paul Dickson
was a beaten man.
He had just been defeated for
President of the Student Body
by more than 1,000 votes an
unprecedented slaughter and
the Student Party had suffered
a smashing defeat at the hands
of Bob Spearman, Don Carson
and Jim Light. For the first
time in, years, no SP man oc
cupied one of Student Govern
ment's top two positions.
Amid the rubble of that elec
toral disaster, SP thoughts
turned to the year ahead . . .
this year.
"Paul Dickson cannot win,"
some said, and others among
them many of the faithful
sadly agreed. They felt that
Paul Dickson had been beaten
so unmercifully that to nomi
nate him . again would be to
court disaster, and more than
a few SP members voiced the
thought that most of them
Today the picture is diamet
rically different. Today Paul
Dickson is a winner, and by
next week he will occupy the
presidential office which he has
labored so long and hard to
win.
And today, much of the
campus is asking, "How did it
happen? How did Dickson rise
from the ashes of defeat and
whip Don Carson to the lively
tune of 450 votes?'
Answers complex
As with any election, an anal
ysis is difficult. . The answers
to the above queries are knotty
and complex. But a look at
Tuesday's vote, (plus a perusal
of some events of the past year)
produces some clear - cut con
clusions about the election.
Two of these conclusions ap
pear to be especially meaning-
ful: (1) Dickson took full ad
vantage of his strength, and
(2) popularity, even Bob Spear-
man s, isn't transferable.
In considering the first con
clusion, we need look no furth
er than the election returns
Dickson won -where every SP
candidate must win in the
residence halls.
There's been a good deal k of
talk during recent years about
"all -r campus parties," but
talk is cheap. Certainly, there
may exist a true all - campus
party at UNC, but given a prop
er -choice, the" residence halls
will still vote SP . . . always
As evidence . consider this
fact: Carson, running on the
UP ticket, won just four men's
residence hall precincts Old
East. Old West. Grimes' and
- T
"Aycock.
Old East and Old West have
demonstrated UP tendencies in
the past, and Mai King, past
chairman of the party, held a
legislative seat in the distnc
for two years. Grimes is the ex
clusive political property o
Armistead Maupm, who pro
duced a victory for every .UP
candidate there. Aycock's swing
to Carson can be attributed to
one man Sonny Pepper.
Thus, every residence h a 1
which Carson won was actual
ly won. by his organization. In
those areas where he was leu
to stand alone against the tra
ditional barraee of SP and in
pendent votes, he was crushed
" crushed.
,
Lower Quad: SP
In the lower quad, for exam
pie, Dickson lost one dorm (Ay
cock) but emerged with a 128-
vote margin. In Everett, Car
son's own dorm, Dickson s leaa
was 70 - 44.
Nor did Dickson slow down
in other residence hall areas
He won Joyner (103 - 62), Win
ston - Conner (150 - 72), Avery
(95 - 50) and Parker (93 - 48)
His margin in Craige was over
100 votes and he also captured
vital Ehringhaus. . . -
Obviously, even the largest
fraternity vote in history could
not save Carson after he fell so
far behind in the dorms.
Why Dickson?
The next question follows
easily: why Dickson? How did
he win by whopping margins
residence halls which he lost to
Bob Spearman just one year
f ago? How did he, as a fraterni
ty man and a one - time loser,
overcome Carson's dual advan-
l tages as the incumbent vice
; president and a non - fraternity
man? .

plex, but most of them require

Retarded Children
Make Campus Visit
By RICHARD CUMMINS
DTK Feature Writer
Tomorrow afternoon some 40
mentally retarded children will
take a tour of the UNC cam
pus with members of the YM
YWCA Murdoch Committee.
. For the last two years this
committee has made weekly.
trips to the Murdoch Center at
Butner. There, UNC students
spend afternoons playing with
the retarded .children, talking
to them casually, and just plain
having fun.
"The kids have often asked:
'Where do you go to school?' "
says committee co - chairman,
Maryanne Brown, "so we have
arranged to show them." The 8
to 15 year old children, all girls,
will see the Morehead Plane
tarium, Wilson Library, Wool
len Gym and Ackland Art
Museum. They will have re
freshments at the Scuttlebutt.
"One of our committee mem
bers from Cobb has volunteered
to clean up her room for a
change, and let the children see
it," said Bob Schussel, vice
president of the YMCA.

Committee
Over the two - year history
oi the committee, some 60 stu
dents from the University have
taken part.
Miss Brown said: "some of
the college students that go to
Murdoch with us are shocked
and depressed, and don't come
back aSam- Many of us though.
ve.iuuuu u io De me nign
Point of our week."
- The - committee works only
with boys for the first semester,
then with girls for the second,
The children have ' I.Q.'s below
u, ana nave the common, mild
retardation. Their retardation
comes from a variety of causes
genetic deficiencies, physical
defects, and cultural depriva
tion.
. "Many of the children have
had a very bad homelife,"
Schussel said, "and have a deep
hunger for affection and atten
tion. They just naturally gravi
tate towards- the UNC students
who show an interest in them."
Easy To Know
Jim Trulove, freshman from
Jdallsboro, said "it certainly
wasn i nara to get to know
these kids. As soon as I walked
in the room two of them took
my hands, and another hugged
my neck.
Most students who serve on
the committee have heard about
it from friends who have al
ready been, -to Murdoch. Vic
Cashwell, - psychology major
from Fayetteville said: "I heard
about Murdoch in psychology
ciass trom not). I went out there
once, got interested, and con
tinue to go because of the prac
tical experience, and I eniov it.
It's not something I can ex
press, I just get a quiet sense
of satisfaction."
Many students on the com
mittee are psychology or sociol
ogy , majors, or prospective
teachers, and recognize the
Murdoch Committee as a good
source of practical experience.
Phillip May, senior from
Charlotte, who will enter Med
ical school this fall said: "I
think the work with these chil
dren is teaching me self - dis
cipline, and is helping me learn
to get along with different types
of people."
An accounting major from
Winston - Salem. James Pag
ett comments, "I just love
kids!'
Infancy To 80
Murdoch Center has patients
ranging from infancy to 80
years of age. "I was pretty
shocked at iirst to see old peo
ple and people my own age with
such low mentalities," says
Lynn Hughes a psychology ma
jor from Biloxi, Miss. "I had
some preparation for the ex
perience from my psychology
teacher, but not enough. Now I
thoroughly enjoy the work."
The group members spend
most of the afternoon talking
and laughing with the children,
and trying to draw some of the
more reserved ones out of their
shyness. Sometimes the children
get excited. "You have to treat
them like your little sister back
home," advises Miss Brown, "if
one of them pulls your hair or
hits you, why you just pull right
back! They'll love you for it."

House Goes Thumbs Down
Ob
RALEIGH A bill to abol
ish the death penalty except
for the crime of rape was over
whelmingly defeated in the
North Carolina House of Repre
sentatives Thursday, 96-21.
The measure by Rep. Ernest
Messer of Haywood County
would have abolished the death
penalty for first degree mur
der, arson and first degree
burglary. It would have been
retained for rape.
Earlier the House passed and
sent to the Senate a resolution
aimed at stripping the U.S. Su
preme Court of power to order
reapportionment of state legis
latures. The resolution proposes an
amendment to the constitution
allowing states to apportion one
house of their legislature on a
basis other than population.
This would reverse the U.S.
Supreme Court which has ruled
that both houses must be ap
portioned on a strict basis of
population.
If the resolution is approved
by 34 states, Congress would be
required to call a national con
vention. Twenty-one states have
approved similar resolutions.
Before passing the resolu
tion, the House beat down an
amendment by Rep. Nick Gali
fianakis of Durham.
Under his amendment, Con
gress would not have been
urged to call a national con
vention but would be urged
to submit a constitutional
amendment to the states under
which one house of a legisla
ture could be apportioned on a
basis other than population.
Sen. Ed Kemp of Guilford
offered a measure to amend the
ttate constitution authorizing
the General Assembly to re
duce the residence requirement
for voting in any election.
Kemp said the amendment
would be submitted to a vote
of the people in the 1966 gen
eral election. Kemp said 12
states already have reduced
residence requirements to less
than a year.
In the House debate on capi
tal punishment, Messer led
those arguing for the proposal.

measure included Rep. Steve
Dolley of Gaston who said,
"there is no doubt in my mind
about the sentiment of the peo
ple being in favor of retaining
capital punishment."
He said that if the principle
of capital punishment were
wrong, Messer should have
made his bill abolish it for all
crimes, including rape.
Demonstrators
A measure to keep civil
rights demonstrators from
standing, sitting or lying in the
highway or street so as to ob

of the Senate Highway Safety
Committee Thursday.

down an effort to amend the
proposed law so as to lighten
the punishment. Under the bill,
violators could get up to two
years in prison and be fined in

MONTGOMERY, Ala. m
More than 25,000 persons
marched yesterday with Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr. to Ala
bama's capitol in the most mas
sive civil rights demonstration
of the South's turbulent racial
history.
The flag-waving thousands,
chanting "Freedom Now!"
poured into the broad street
almost beneath the very win
dows of Gov. George C. Wal
lace's office.
It was impossible to estimate
their number. The ranks, eight
abreast, pressed forward in a
surging stream of humanity for
nearly two . miles through the
city.
Hours before the march be
gan, Assistant Police Chief D.
H. Lackey said there were 15,
000. Hundreds more joined as
the column wound slowly to the
gleaming white capitol once
the command post for the Con
federate government.
Soldiers lined the route of
march. Helicopters clattered in
the humid overcast. The entire
four-mile march was sealed off
by police and hundreds of the
National Guardsmen and regu
lar army troops called up by
order of President Johnson.
The marchers flowed up Dex
ter Avenue to the capitol and
spread into ranks of about 24
abreast, filling the broad street
lined by troops and . wooden
barricades. r
A solid line of state troopers,
conservation officers and state
liquor enforcement agents
stretched across the broad
marble pavilion in front of the
capitol portico. There Jefferson
Davis took the oath as presi
dent of the Confederate States
of America.
When the marchers reached
the capitol, Wallace was eating
lunch in a basement cafeteria.
Thousands of white and Ne
gro spectators lined the ave
nue. "Everybody wants freedom!"
sang the marchers.
American flags blossomed
from the column. A Negro man
carried a small girl perched on
his shoulder.
Hundreds of persons, clergy,
political and labor leaders, col
lege students and housewives
from throughout the nation
were in the march. Dr. Ralph
Bunche of the United Nations
staff marched in the front
ranks.
A Negro clergyman wearing
a square violet cap, dark glasses
and a gold cross, was in the
ranks.
o
"We shall overcome," sang
the massive throng when it
moved into the street facing
the statehouse over which
fluttered the Alabama flag and
the Confederate flag.
There were at ieast 50 U.S.
flgas in the front of the march.
Signs and placards sprouted
from he masses. "Vote for
Freedom," read one. And an
other said: "Lutherans Care
Because Christ Cared."
Four small Negro children
carried a sign: "National Mari
time Service of America."
