Campus D me Wilson Hits 'Reactionary Forces9 Within The Partv By JOHN GRLENBACKER D 1 H staff V'nter Student Party Legislative Floor Leader Don Wilson at atacked "reactionary forces within the University Party" Sunday night for allegedly trying to "unceremoniously rer-ove" UP Chairman Jim Hubbard. Speaking before the first a - - Date Ticket r Plan Revised After receiving numerous complaints about the date ticket situation at the Michi gan game, Rick K r e m e r, president of the Carolina Ath letic Association, UNC Athlet ic Director Chuck Erickson ana atnietic Dusiness mana- ger Vernon Creek have work- DA nt o v; niT 1U1 tuc .

Other date ticket holders will sit in the west end zone entering through gate four. If there are not enough seats in the regular student section the overflow will also sit in the end zone. However, indi cations from the Michigan gime show there is little threat of an overflow. Kremer said some students have already bought their date tickets for the coming game and that the tickets say to enter gate one. However, these students and their dates will be admitted through gate five, the regular student gate. "We made the change be cause students complained about being away from the student body and in the direct heat of the sun. This plan will put them close to the student section and the sun will at least be at their backs," Kra mer said. Another reason for the change is that the Virginia game has been designated as Band Day. Bands from all over the state will make their yearly trip to preform in Ke nan Stadium. Kramer said there were sev eral problems at Saturday's game. Some freshmen failed to pick up there seating tickets after there I.D. caras were punched at the gate. He also said that students who wanted to sit together should ask for seats together. After A Hard DA NANG, Viet Nam The weary U. S. Ma- rine platoon had just fought its way out of a Viet Cong ambush when it got the word in the field: i; "Word received from Saigon. Your shipment in : the mail." The shipment: two quarts of vodka, a fifth of i bourbon, a pint of scotch, a bottle of pink cham- j pagne and a bottle of screw driver mix. A Navy hospital medic with the Marines, Lar- j ry Freeman, placed the order from a calendar ; put out by Al Rustice's liquor store in West Bab- : ylon, N. Y. The calendar which Freeman picked j up while on home leave, said, "We deliver any- j where." i The liquor arrived in Saigon Friday and was : being flown to Da Nang, 380 miles away. Lt. Donald McCloskey of Santa Barbara, Calif., said he planned to let the platoon have the liquor when it returns to Da Nang from the field. "It will be held for a special occasion one that doesn't affect their marksmanship," he said. Rustice sent the liquor free and threw in an j assortment of cheese dip, salted nuts, potato ! chips and a box of cigars. He added a quart of scotch for Jhe company commander. An airline : agreed to pick up the freight costs. Freeman placed the order as a gag he has ; never met Rustice. 3 To Recent nual meeting of the SP, Wil son praised Hubbard as, "An outstanding leader who was handpicked for his job by Bob Spearman." Spearman, a UP member and immediate past president of the student body, has re ceived praise from students and University administrators for his leadership during the past year. "No one may say a word against Bob Spearman," Wil son said. "When Spearman goes to England on a Rhodes Scholar ship," Wilson said, "he will no longer be able to clam the rebirth of these reactionary forces."

Wilson also promised to work for the establishment of a campus carrier current ra dio system if students vote in its favor in a campus-wide referendum to be held during the fall elections. Student Body President Paul Dickson outlines his pro ment and called on all stu dents to support Student Gov ernment. Need Help "Student Government needs help," he said, "and I hope all will give it the aid it needs." . Dickson reminded 511 Stu dent Government office hold- personal benefit, but we are here to serve the student body."

"It has been said that the University has lost touch with the state," Dickson told his party, "but I don't believe its so. Insure Communication To insure communication between the University and the state, Dickson proposed a 15 minute weekly radio show on campus activities to be broadcast on a state-wide net work.

At the same time, the effort will test two differing meth ods of civil rights action. The effort was signaled Wednesday when the NAACP filed formal charges of racial discrimination against a roll call of top North Carolina retail chains, textile indus tries, and innkeepers. The charges were lodged in the U. S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, headed by Franklin D. Roose velt Jr. Forty stores, plants, or branches were cited, mostly in the eastern communities of Fayetteville, Jacksonville, Wallace, and New Bern. The specific charges were developed during the summer by volunteer field workers for the old-line civil rights organ izations. The North Carolina com plaints make up about 10 per cent of the workload of the new federal agency, which went to work 90 days ago as the newest offspring of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Under the commission's pro ceedings, each specific com plaint will be investigated by a staff member of the agency. If the investigation produces a recommendation for action, the five - member commission itself then considers it, for mally seeks mediation of lb complaint with the complain ant and the firm charged with discrimination. The specific complaints were lodged against such widespread firms as Burling ton Industries, Belk's depart ment stores, Sears Roebuck, Carolina Telephone and Tele graph, Piggly-Wiggly food stores, Howard Johnson's eat-and-sleep chain, and Ameri can Bakeries. NAACP officials privately are elated at the field work : of the North Carolina NAACP in quickly moving against such blue ribbon retail and industrial firms. : At the same time, they feel that North Carolina is the : perfect testing ground for the : legal methods, for two rea- sons. One, North Carolina prob : ably has more qualified Ne gro job-seekers than any oth er Southern State. Tie South' s Largest College Newspaper HILL, NORTH CAROLINA As!

Dickson was found guilty of helping a woman student break the rule against enter ing a closed fraternity house and was given an official rep rimand by the Men's Honor Council. The coed, a visiting student, was suspended from school here by the Women's Honor Council. Dickson's sen tence carries no penalty ex cept, a notation of the offense on the back of bis permanent record card. Dickson has said he will re fuse the demand made in the letter, which was presented to him late Sunday night. The signers of the letter are: Van MacNair, chairman of the Men's Council; Leith Merrow, chairman of the Women's Council; Gray Reeves, wom en's attorney general; John Ingram, men's attorney gen eral; Sonny Pepper, president of the Men's Residence Coun cil; Frank Martin, president of the Interfratemity Council; Penny Scovil, chairman of the Women's Residence Council; and Jeri Moser, chairman of the Carolina Women's Coun cil. The letter says: "Because of the deepening crisis surround ing the question of your con tinuance in office, we the un dersigned feel compelled to clarify our collective position for the entire University com munity. "When the University ad ministration issued you an ul timatum to resign, all of us intervened in your behalf, risking our reputations and personal influence with the administration, because we deeply felt that the proper ju dicial processes must always be maintained. As a result of this intervention you are again presented with the opportuni ty of honorably resigning." Last Tuesday Dickson was notified by the administration that unless he resigned the presidency his judicial case would be reopened for review by a faculty board. About a dozen student leaders went to the administration Wednesday, protesting what they called its coercive tactics" and "per version of the judicial sys tem." Dickson did not partici pate in that meeting. The administration recon sidered its stand and Thurs day Dickson was notified that the ultimatum had been with drawn. He was told that there would be no threat of further judicial action in the case, and the decision of whether or not to resign was his own once again. Astronomy Is Taught At Morehead "Introduction to Astrono my, a Deginning course lor adults, will be offered by the Morehead Planetarium dur ing October and November. In making the announcmeni, Director A. F. Jenzano ex plained that the course will be eiven for two hours eacn Tuesday beginning October 5 and ending November 23. The classes will be given from 7:15 to 9:30 p.m. The first hour will be conducted in a classroom. There will be a 15 minute break between hours. "Introduction to Astrono my" is open to all adults who are interested in knowing more about the universe of which they are a part, and as sumes no prior knowledge of astronomy. .Resi 10 Dickson spent the weekend considering his course of ac tion, and told Honor Council Chairman Van MacNair Sun day night that he intends to stay in office. He was then presented with the letter de manding his resignation. It says: "The following rea sons compel us to conclude that your continuance in of fice relegates our Student Gov ernment to a position of total impotence: "(1) Although we affirm that ,as a student, you have fulfilled your obligations to the student judiciary, we place a far greater importance on the president's position as the elected head of our entire sys tem of honor, and on his re sponsibility to protect the in tegrity of Student Government and that of the entire Univer sity community. It is clear that the continuance of the present situation can serve only to undermine all respect for our Student Government and its traditional authority. "(2) When this entire mat ter becomes public knowledge, and it surely will, the stu dents, faculty, administration, and trustees of this institution will be placed in a position untenable in the eyes of the . state of North Carolina, -(3) Although we strongly opposed any arbitrary and unilateral action on the part .'''""y-i"'''X'X-X":,:,:-:,;;;,;ii Dicksan Calls On Students To Decide 3 There have been many rum ors on campus during the past week regarding my conduct this summer. I was charged with a Campus Code violation and given an official repri mand for being a party in the violation of the Fraternity Visiting Agreement. The offi cial reprimand which I re ceived is in accord with form er decisions by the Council. This matter and its effect on Student Government and the University community have weighed heavily on my mind for the past five weeks, and I have sought the advice of many students, faculty, ad ministrators, and friends in the State. I wish to thank them for their advice which has been considered carefully. WTith the best interests of Student Government in mind, I have decided that I shall not resign. . I have reached this decis ion after many hours of per sonal thought. It has not been an easy decision to make, but I am confident in the Deuei that it was one which was made honestly and with a sin cere regard for Student Gov ernment and the University. I believe in a Student Gov ernment which must at all cost maintain its integrity in relation to the Administration. There have been pressures, to be true, pressures which were motivated by concern for the University, but pressures nev ertheless. These pressures have not ceased. The easiest course for me to have taken would have been to have submitted to these pressures. As long as I am President I cannot. To let any group of individuals other than the students themselves determine who should be and remain their President would be to abrogate the responsi bility placed in me last spring. There is much to do in tbe coming months. Student Gov ernment needs the vigorous support of every student. Paul Dickson, III President of the Student Body The DTH Needs You The Daily Tar Heel is in dire and desperate need of a beau tiful secretary to organize and beautify our offices. The pay is good. Men need not apply. Founded February 23. 1893 gn of the University administra tion in your case, we are com pelled to agree with them that honor and the well-being of Student Government in par ticular and the University in general demand your resigna tion. It is abundantly clear that the University adminis tration no longer recognizes you as the representative head of this student body. "(4) Your continuance in of fice places insurmountable ob stacles in the path of each of us as we attempt to carry out our responsibilities to the stu dent body, and should your position remain unchanged, we have serious reservations about our ability to continue effective service to this gov ernment." A spokesman for the group said each person who signed the letter did so with the un derstanding that it would be made public. Copies are to be sent to UNC President William C. Friday, Chancellor Paul F. Sharp, Vice Chancellor J. C. Sitterson, Dean of Student Af fairs C O. Cathey, Dean of Men William G. Long and Dean of Women Katherine K. Carmichael. The letter concludes, "We are advising you in good faith, and we chaDenge you to show where we have failed to sup port you when your position was tenable. Certainly we have the right to expect that your concern for the preser vation of the ideals of our University community will override personal ambitldn and will dictate your final de cision. "When you assumed the presidency you surrendered your right to personal indis cretions. Your every act be came subject to the scrutiny of this community and, in deed, the scrutiny of the en tire state. 'we call upon you in tbe name of honor to have the courage to tender your resig nation as president of tbe Stu dent tioay without further de lay." uickson issued a statement yesterday afternoon saying that "wuh the best interest ot student government in mind," he had aeciued not to resign. He called resignation "the easiest course" and saM ' decision """e many hours of personal thought." (See accompanying story for text of DicKson's statement.) Spokesmen for the group which signed the letter said early last night that it had not been decided what furth er action, if any, would be taken since Dickson has re fused to resign. Honor Council Chairman MacNair said, however, "speaking for myself, I wouW say that Paul's actions have widened the gun Detween roe judicial and executive branch es of Student Government. I think it will be almost impos sible for me to work with him and I personally feel some further action will be neces sary." Fire Erupts In Old East A transformer fire in the basement of New East knock ed out power in McCorkel place yesterday afternoon for about an hour. Campus Police Chief Arthur J. Beaumont said a slow oil leak was the cause of the fire which was discovered about 1:30 p.m. It took maintainence men about an hour to replace tbe ftl flOQ transformer and restore power to the area. Beaumont said people in New East had been smelling something burning since last Friday but couldn't locate the source.
