Circumstantial
Evidence Is Not
Enough Jurors Say
By EI) FREAKLEY
DTI I Staff Writer
HILLSBOROUGH Four
more jurors were selected
yesterday in the retrial of
Frank Joseph R i n a 1 d i,
charged with the murder of
his wife in 1963. Two of the
new jurors told the court they
could not convict the 36-year-old
formerUNC graduate in
structor on circumstantial evi
dence. Rinaldi was convicted last
Nov. 18 on a chain of circum
stantial evidence presented
by the state. The jury recom
mended mercy which in
North Carolina carries an au
tomatic life sentence.
The State Supreme Court
later granted Rinaldi a new
trial on the grounds that first
trial Judge Raymond Mallard
had admitted prejudicial and
incompetent evidence.
The venire of 59 prospective
jurors was exhausted by the
state and defense at mid-afternoon.
New Venire Called
Judge George M. Fountain,
presiding over the special ses
sion of Orange County Crim
inal Court, recessed the court
at 3:10 directed a special ve
nire of 125 to be selected to
report this morning at 9:30.
Three jurors and an alternate
must still be chosen.
Court officials immediately
began selecting the special
venire.
Rinaldi is accused of killing
his four-month pregnant wife
in their Chapel Hill apartment
on Christmas Eve, 1963
She was found dead with a
scarf knotted about her head
and she had been beaten
about the face.
He and his wife, Lucille, 34,
had .been married since July,
1963. They had been child
hood sweethearts at Water
bury, Conn.
Jurors Selected
The two jurors chosen yes
terday who said they could not
convict a man on circumstan
tial evidence alone are Vater
J. Johnson, a Negro janitor
here at the University, and
Edward McPherson, a Hills
borough mason contractor.
Both made the statement af
ter being approved by the
state.
The other jurors seated
Tuesday were E. M. Fowler,
a printer who works in Dur
ham and resides in Chapel
Hill, and William D. Dorsett,
an Efland sales manager for
the Curtis Breeding Co.
The five jurors seated Mon
day include Bruce DeGraffen
reid, a Negro worker here at
the University; Mrs. Nina
Wallace of Chapel Hill, wife
of an assistant professor at
N. C. State; William Hogan,
Chapel Hill dairy farmer; Lee
Crabtree, Cedar Grove farm
er; and Donald E. Stewart, the
Chapel Hill architect who de
signed Carmichael Auditori
um. In Courtroom
The parents of Mrs. Rinaldi
sat at the front of the court
room. Rinaldi's father and
brother sat directly behind
him.
FROM
Mrs. William C. Friday, wife
of the president of the Con
solidated University, was ex
cused by the state during the
morning session.
She stated that she was
"nervous as a cat." She also
told the court she did not want
to sit on the jury because
"my husband would not like
for me to serve."
Mrs. Friday said she was
opposed to capital punishment.
The state used its fifth of
six challenges in removing
jurors to reject Mrs. Friday.
Several others were rejected
for this reason. Many were
turned down because they said
they had formed an opinion
on the case and did not feel
they could render a just ver
dict. Solicitor Thomas D. Cooper
Jr. has said he will seek an
other first degree conviction.
Cooper is assisted by Hills
borough lawyer Robert Satter
field, who is serving "as a
personal favor" to Cooper.
Rinaldi Defense
Rinaldi's defense is headed
by Barry T. Winston. Winston
is assisted by Gordon Battle,
who worked with him at the
trial last year, and Victor
Bryant Sr. of Durham, a UNC
trustee.
There were only a handful
of about 26 spectators in court
yesterday, a,nd most of them
were part of the original ve
nire. Chief evidence against Ri
naldi, who has pleaded not
guilty at both trials, is the
testimony of Negro handyman,
Alfred L. Foushee who said
Rinaldi attempted to hire
him to kill Mrs. Rinaldi.
Rinaldi based his defense at
the first trial on the testimony
of John F. Sipp, Chapel Hill
insurance agent who said he
was with Rinaldi in Durham
during the time of the murder.
UNC Had First

A stuck gas pedal triggered
a five-car accident on East
Franklin St. yesterday after
noon about 3:30. No one was
hurt, but damage was exten
sive.
According to police reports,
Mrs. Sally H. Frazier, 150
Hamilton Rd., was pulling out
of a parking place near the
Village Cafeteria into the east
bound traffic lane when her
gas pedal stuck.
Police reported that she
swerved into the west-bound
lane, sideswiped two cars in
the inside lane and struck a
fourth in the outside lane.
This car was knocked into a
parked vehicle.
The two sideswiped cars,
driven by Gilbert H. Godfrey,
201 N. Greensboro, Carrboro,
and Kenneth C. Joyner, 114B
Todd, Carrboro, were still
operable after the accident.
Investigating Officer Victor
Johnson of the Chanel Hill
Police Department estimated
that Mrs. Frazier s car was
going 30-3o miles per hour
when it struck a vehicle driv
en by Allen W. Markahm.
Markahm's car was knocked
into a parked car belonging to
UNC student Jerry W. Butler.
Butler's car was parked
about 150 feet from the spot
where Mrs. Frazier had been
parked.

HILL NORTH CAROLINA
Senate Abandons
T-H Repeal Try
WASHINGTON (AP) Sen
ate Democratic Leader Mike
Mansfield, D-Mont., yesterday
shelved for this session the
bill to revoke the power of the
states to ban the union shop.
Mansfield told his colleagues
that the unsuccessful attempt
yesterday to invoke closure
and shut off the debate had
made it clear that he cannot
get action on the bill at this
time.
His action made it likely
that Congress will be able to
wind up the 1965 session short
ly. Republican Leader Everett
M. Dirksen of Illinois had
said earlier it might be pos
sible to adiourn by Oct. 23 if
members buckle down.
In Monday's vote, support
ers of the bill mustered only
45 senators for cloture as com
pared with 47 against. Thus it
did not win even a majority
although two-thirds was need
ed. "In view of the margin of
yesterday's vote; I no longer
find myself looking through a
glass darkly," Mansfield told
the Senate.
"The image is clear, the
Senate does not wish the lead
ership to press the attempt to
take up 15B at this time."
The bill, passed by the
House and urged by President
Johnson, would repeal Section
14B of the Tart-Hartley Law.
That section permits the
states to outlaw union shop
contracts under which work
ers are required to join a
union.
Dirksen, leading the oppo
sition to repeal, said he will
keep his supporters geared to

oppose the measure in the
new session starting in Janu
ary. In The New
Auditorium
Comments ranged from "It's
really cool" to "Wonder if
they'll ever finish it?". But
all-in-all, students seemed to
radiate a great deal of pride
yesterday as they walked into
Carmichael Auditorium for the
first time.
The occasion for the chris
tening of the long - awaited
edifice was Chancellor Paul F
Sharp's University Day ad
dress.
A crowd of about 4,000 peo
ple was on hand and there
was no scrambling for seats,
a situation previously almost
unknown to most UNC stu
dents.
The great orange beams
which told the story of the
coming building last spring
were gone yesterday.
Cool Carolina blue covered
the rafters as well as the
nearly 9,000 seats.
Workmen had been careful
to remove all their hammers
and saws, but the rough main
floor and partially - construct
ed basketball goals told the
story of more work to come.
Officials plan to have the
auditorium completed before
basketball season this year.
CROWD OF 4.000 GATHERS FOR CONVOCATION

Fai
By ANDY MYERS
DTH Staff Writer
UNC sang itself happy birth
day yesterday, for the 170th
time.
Amid convocations and ded
ications, barbecues and fire
works, it w as fitting that
Chancellor Paul F. Sharp re
affirmed the University's faith
in the student and asked for
the State's faith in the Uni
versity. Although he never men
tioned the Communist speak
er ban law in his speech in
the new Carmichael Auditor
ium, Sharp carefully drove in
the point that the University
"has passed the critical mass"
stage, and to view it in the
traditional sense is only con
fusing. "External Forces"
Sharp said that "external
forces would reduce the uni
versity to an indoctrination
school or would create an at
mosphere of ideological con
formity." However, he added, these
forces "are neither overriding
nor are they permanent."
"From time to time, they
will have their brief day," he
said, but "the university
builds for eternity."
"Of all the revolutions of
our age, the quiet intellectual
revolution on the university
campus, touching almost eve
ry field of thought as it does,
is the most subtle and per
vasive," he said.
Harmon Speaks
John Harmon, president of
the senior class, spoke in be
half of the students. Referring
to the crisis of the university
and its threatened loss of ac
creditation, he said the stu
dents "are all sorely consci
ous of our present problems."
"Minorities always shout the
loudest and always seem to
be noticed first," Harmon said
"Let the silent majority raise
its voice in support of our
chancellor."
"Remember, sir, it is our
fight too . . . we beg you to
enlist our help." Harmon re
ceived a loud ovation from
fellow students for his short
speech.
Sharp spoke to some 300
faculty members and almost
4,000 students and guests.
President William Friday;
William Snider, executive ed
itor of the Greensboro Daily
News; Professor Corydon P.
Spruill; and Harmon, also
spoke.
Speaking over live state
wide television, Sharp said the
intellectual revolution is very
difficult for the layman "and
professionals alike" to inter
pret. For this reason, he ap
pealed to the people of t h e
state to exercise restraint to
keep the University free.
Public Pressure
Changes in the University,
Sharp said, "have left nearly
all of us troubled and with a
feeling of inadequacy. The
general public around us is
sorely confused since it tends
to see the university in its old
er image as a small, compact
institution, sensitive to public
pressure and responsive to
th
-
Asks
St
University
In
well - defined public needs."
"Thus the voice of the pub
lic rather plaintively asks,
But don't we own the univer
sity?' " The legislators also
ask, 'But don't we pay for the
university?' And the trustees
ask, 'Why can't we know
what is happening?'
Sharp said this confusion ex
tends to the administration
and the students. "The facts
are," Sharp said, "that as
long as we persist in thinking
of the university in tradition
al, simple, and essentially ru
ral terms most of us will re
main bewildered and frustrat
ed. "The modern university,
having passed through its
critical mass stage, had de
veloped a life of its own that
must be respected by all of
us if the university is to pros
per." The people, the legisla
tors, the trustees, the admin
istration and the students all
have the power to destroy the
university, he said.
But we must ask, "Who has
the power to energize, to
build, to create and to inter
pret?" We ignore reality if we
see the university in a tradi
tional sense, Sharp said.
"Vested Interests"
He asked the political lead
ers of the state to use re
straint in submitting to "in
tense" pressure from "vested
interests." Otherwise, "we will

The best fraternity trophy is

Sterling Phillips of Beta

surely surrender educational
leadership and quality educa
tion to the private universi
ties." Sharp said much of the con
fusion stems from the "cul
tural mix and diversity of
students and faculty on the
campus," And that student
concerns often sound "unfa
miliar and even frightening to
some."
He said "the gulf between
the serious students and the
Mickey Mousers was never
wider." Some students, in
their search for "the authent
ic" life and seif - identity, are
robbed of purposeful motiva
tion and become "academic
casualties."
To an observer these stu
dents are often frightening
and unfamiliar, Sharp said.
This leads to confusion in
viewing the university.
Search for "Authentic"
Sharp added that it is not
always best for the universi
ty to" help release the "full po
tential" of every student in his
quest for "the authentic."
"If a student's great poten
tial is as a rascal, please ex
cuse me from my obligation.
