Three Men Kidnap Ram,
But Not Carolina Mascot
By PAT STITH
DTII Sports Editor
A three man gang, which
attempted to steal North Car
olina's mascot, Rameses VIII,
from Hogan's farm on Rt. 2
Monday night, is in for a dis
appointment. They rustled themselves a
ram all right but they got
the wrong one. They made off
with Rameses VII,. who was
retired at the end of the 1964
football season.
Mr. George Thomas, news
director at radio station WTOB
in Winston - Salem, identified
the gang as Wake Forest un
dergraduates. He told the DTH
that Rameses VII was in
Winston-Salem Tuesday morn
ing but that he has since been
taken to a farm somewhere
in Forsyth County.
Mr. Henry Hogan, who has
cared for North Carolina's
rams since that animal was
adopted as the UNC mascot
Court Asked
To Disqualify
11 Prospects
HAYNEVILLE, Ala., (AP)
The Alabama Supreme
Court was asked yesterday to
disqualify 11 prospective jur
ors w ho said at the outset of a
Ku Klux Klansman's murder
trial that they regard civil
rights workers as inferior.
The court in Montgomery
will hear arguments at 10 a.m.
CST, Wednesday on the re
quest by Atty. Gen. Rich
mond Flowers.
The question raised by the
Attorney General brought a
delay in the trial of Collie Le
roy Wilkins, Jr., who is
charged with the slaying of a
white Detroit housewife and
civil rights volunteer.
The trial judge, T. Werth
Thagard, recessed the trial un
til tomorrow morning to give
Flowers time to go to the Su
preme Court after Thagard
had rejected the Attorney Gen
eral's claim that the prospec
tive jurors should be disquali
fied for prejudice.
Yack Picture Schedule
Final pictures for the Yack will be taken from Mon-
day, Oct. 18 through Wednesday, Oct. 27. Senior women
should wear black sweaters and pearls. Other women
should wear black sweaters.

in 1923, said that Rameses
VIII and baby Rameses IX
were safe. He said that
Rameses VIII would be at the
game Saturday when the Tar
Heels take on Wake Forest at
Winston-Salem.
"We have taken special pre
cautions to see that Rameses
VIII isn't stolen," Mr. Bob
Hogan, Mr. Henry Hogan's
son, said. "We usually don't
start to worry about Rameses
until Wednesday but Wake
slipped up on us. It won't
happen again."
The theft occurred sometime
Monday night, according to
Mr. Thomas. He said he knew
who the rustlers were, but he
refused to identify them.
"They told me that they in
tended to bring Rameses to a
Wake Forest pep rally Thurs
day at 11 a.m. and then have
him lead the Wake team onto
the field at the game Satur
day," Mr. Thomas said.
According to Mr. Thomas,
the three entered an unlocked
barn on Mr. Hogan's property
and found three rams there
a big one (Rameses VII), a
middle size one (Rameses
VIII) and a baby one
(Rameses IX).
Rameses VII, who was the
UNC mascot during the 1963
and 1964 seasons, still has blue
horns. Mistaking him for the
current mascot, Rameses
VIII, they stole him.
Mr. Bob Hogan told the DTH
that the rustlers may have
taken more than they bar
gained for.
"Rameses VII was retired
because bis horns had grown
down in front of his eyes so
that he can hardly see," he
said. "Besides that, he's a
pretty mean, ornery ram."
Student body president Paul
Dickson has made an inform
al complaint to the Orange
County Sheriff's Department.
Deputy W. E. Clark told Mr.
Dickson that he would call the
sheriff of Forsyth County this
morning and ask him to use
his influence to have Rameses
VII returned.
The theft of Rameses VII
was not discovered until late
Tuesday afternoon when radio
station WTOB newsman Dave
Perry called Mr. Bob Quincy,
Sports Information Director
for UNC, for a comment.
Mr. Quincy's comment was
not quotable.
Dr. Harold Wayland Trib
ble, President of Wake Forest
College, made himself un
available for comment.
Mrs. W. D. Corle, secretary
to Mr. Mark Reece, dean of
students at Wake Forest, told
the DTH, however, that she
was "tickled to death."
Mr. Reece promised the
DTH that he would do every
thing within his power, to see
that Rameses VII is returned
immediately.
"I'm planning to attend an
interfraternity council meet
ing tonight," he said last
night, "and I'll try to find out
who is responsible for this
dastardly deed.
"I'll do my best not only
to see that Rameses VII is
well cared for but that he is
rpfurned."
North Carolina's mascot was
last stolen in 1961 by Wake
Forest students prior to the
UNC-Wake game. That time
they stole Rameses VI, now
deceased. They returned him
before the game that time, at
the request of the Wake For
st College administration.
Students Search
For Victory Gong
Some 300 raving Maverick
House students charged off to
Wake Forest last night, not to
get good seats for Saturday's
game, but to retrieve their
"Victory Gong."
They left en masse at 6:30
p.m.
At least, they were hoping
to retrieve the gong. Maver
ick House president Ed Mac
Mahan said yesterday the
gong, fashioned from a goal
post from the Duke - Carolina
game two years ago, was re
ported missing Sunday morn
ing from the first floor Craige
lounge.
The Daily Tar Heel yester
day afternoon received a mys
terious phone call from a male
voice, who refused to be iden
tified, but added, "I'm a Car
olina gentleman."
"There is a report going
around that the gong is miss
ing," the caller said, "I just
thought you might want to
know about it." He said the
gong "is worth a heck of a
lot to Craige (residence hall)
prestiege."
Roger Davis, whose job is to
"keep an eye" on the gong,
said the Maverick House
Victory Gong is made of sou
venirs from the 1963 Duke
Carolina game as well as a
yard marker from the Gator
Bowl game of the same year,
in which UNC defeated the
Air Force 35-0.
Davis said UNC won every
game last year that the gong
was taken to. The gong itself
was a gift to the residence
hall from a marine who ac
quired it in Japan, spokesmen
said.
As His Case
University Party Condemns
SPU For Peace Policy
By JOHN GREENBACKER
DTH Political Writer
Nearly 320 University Party
members unanimously ap
proved a resolution Monday
night condemning the Student
Peace Union and Students for
a Democratic Society for their
demonstrations against U. S.
Viet Nam policy.
The resolution was intro
duced by senior Class Vice
President Armistead Maupin
at the UP nominating conven
tion in Carroll Hall.
"The University Party feels
that the position taken by
these organizations is totally
unrepresentative of the feel
ings of most of the student
body," the resolution reads in
part.
"The overwhelming majori
ty of the student body holds
in contempt the seemingly un
patriotic and irresponsible ac
tions of these organizations."
The resolution particularly
cites the recent demonstra
tion at the Fort Bragg Special
Forces Center which was
sponsored by the SPU.
It criticizes those student
demonstrators who sought to
"link the University with
their irresponsible actions."
The resolution condemns
"the abhorent and disruptive
practices" which the SDS and
the SPU have used in protest
ing the government's Viet
Nam policies.
It said the demonstrations
"have the effect of undermin
ing or obstructing the full ef
fectiveness of our nation's ef
forts to save South Viet Nam
from communism."
Copies of the resolution were
sent to the commandant of
Fort Bragg, the Dean of Stu
dent Affairs and the officer
in charge of the U. S. Navy's
recruiting booth in Y-Court.
UP Nominees
The UP convention also
chose its nominees for the fall
elections, and Chairman Jim
Hubbard reminded the party
of the Dossible election of a
UP nominee to run in the re
call election for the student
body presidency.

residents last night on their
counter - raid to Wake Forest.
The results of their mission
will be announced tomorrow.

By JOAN PAGE
Louis Harris, national pub
lic opinion analyst and syndi
cated newspaper columnist,
has chosen his alma mater,
the University at Chapel Hill,
as the official repository for
his survey data.
Chancellor Paul F. Sharp
announced the establishment
yesterday of the Louis Harris
Political Data Center within
the University's Political Sci
ence Department, and the ap
pointment of Mr. Hams as
lexturer on politics and public
opinion.
In this role, Mr. Harris will
be associated with the Politi
cal Science Department and
will lecture here several times
each year. The University has
allocated $25,000 toward the
initial establishment of the
Data Center, to be housed on
the second floor of Caldwell
Hall.
Following conferences with
Chancellor Sharp and other
University officials, Mr. Har
ris has agreed to make avail-
li i . i i i :
auie seieciea puuut upuuuu
surveys which his national or
ganization, Louis Harris and
Associates of New York, has
conducted. He will furnish the
Center with computer tabula
tion cards, questionnaires,
code books and other source
data.
Prof. James W. Prothro, act
ing chairman of the Political
Science Department, will be
director of the Harris Center.
"I have always had a deep
sentimental attachment to the
University in Chapel Hill. In
campus politics here, many of
the first seeds of political in
terest were planted," Mr. Har
ris said.
"But my reasons for estab
lishing the Center here go be
yond this. The South has pro
duced the leading empirical
political scientists in the coun
try and the University of North
Carolina has led the way.
Therefore, I consider it both
appropriate and fitting that
UNC be the home of the Center."

half of the University:
"We are honored that Louis
Harris has selected the Uni
versity of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill over all other con
tending institutions to be the
official repository for his ma
terials. We shall strive to live
up to the confidence his de
cision reflects in the Univer

in attracting scholars and su
perior students, Chancellor
Sharp continued, and "will
bring recognition to the Uni
versity as a major center for
the study of public opinion and
political behavior."
Mr. Prothro termed the Cen
ter "a major break-through"
for the Political Science De
partment. "We view the loca
tion of this major facility in

A member of the UNC Class
of '42, Mr. Harris was for 10
years associated with Elmo
Roper in opinion research. In
1956, he established his own
firm with headquarters in
New York. His organization
operates in all 50 states and
employs several thousand peo
ple. Mr. Harris rose to national
prominence as President Ken
nedy's private poll-taker in the
1960 campaign. He is author
of two books: "Is There A Re
publican Majority" and "The
Negro Revolution in America."
Before giving up polling for
private political clients in 1963
to write his newspaper column
and work for CBS News, Mr.
Harris had surveyed in over
240 campaigns. Among his
clients were 45 men who be
came U. S. senators and 15
who became governors.
Beginning in 1962, he deveb
oped the Vote Profile Analysis
system (VPA) in co-operation
with CBS and IBM. The sys-
Co
jutd
JL
Frank Rinaldi told a jury yes-
! terdav "I did not do this
dreadful thing," as he strong
ly denied a charge he hit his
wife on the head with a flash
light and then smothered her
to death in 1963.-
"I protested my innocence'
then, "and I protest my inno
cence now," said Rinaldi after
he had taken the stand in a
surprise move at his second
trial on a first degree murder
charge in his wife's death.
Solicitor Thomas B. Cooper
Jr., pointed at Rinaldi and de
clared: "I'll ask you if you didn't hit
your wife on the head with a
flashlight and then throw it
into a cardboard box?" I'll ask
you if you didn't tie a scarf
around her head and smother
her with a pillow and let her
fall to the floor?"
"I did not" Rinaldi replied
in a hushed, tense court room.
He added, "I did not do the
terrible thing."
Rinaldi, 36, who did not test
ify at his first murder trial,
went to the stand in a surprise
move shortly before noon and
answered three rapid ques
tions by defense attorney Bar
ry Winston.
"Did you kill your wife?"
Winston asked.
"No. I did not," Rinaldi re
plied firmly, learning forward
slightly.
"Do you know who killed
your wife?"
"No. I do not," Rinaldi re
plied quickly.
"Did you have anything to
do with your wife's death?"
Winston asked.
Again, Rinaldi replied firm
ly: "I did not."
The dramatic developments
came shortly after several de
fense witnesses testified they
had seen Rinaldi in Durham,
about 10 miles from Chapel
Hill, the morning of Christmas
Eve, 1963.
His pregnant wife, Lucille
Rinaldi, 34, was found sprawl
ed on the floor of the living
room in his apartment in
Chapel Hill. A scarf had been
tied around her nose and
mouth and she had been beat
en on the face and head.

states in the 1964 election. It
is a computer model method
designed to analyze early and
accurately what has happened
in an election.
In addition to his work in the
political area, Harris' firm
does marketing research on a
continuing basis for clients
such as American Telephone &
Telegraph, American Airlines,
Standard Oil Co. of New Jer
sey, the New York Stock Ex
change, Armstrong Code and
IBM.

etion
instructor at UNC and full
time instructor one session at
the University of Missouri, ad
mitted under cross examina
tion that he had taken one
tranquilizer before the court
session began.
A jury convicted him on a
first degree murder charge
last Nov. 18, but the State
Supreme Court ordered a new
trial because of errors.
Rinaldi, his face slightly
flushed and his voice nervous,
testified he and his wife, the
former Lucille B. Begg of Wa
terbury, Conn., became en
gaged on Christmas Eve, 1962,
one year to the day before
she was killed.
A pathologist. Dr. N. F. Rod
man Jr., testified Monday that
death was due to suffocation
or asphyxiation and estimated
she died between 10 a.m. and
noon.
John F. Sipp, a Chapel Hill
insurance agent and close
friend of Rinaldi, also testified
Monday that he was on a
Christmas shopping trip with
Rinaldi the day the slaying oc
curred. He said he was with
Rinaldi from 8:40 a.m. until
1:40 p.m. and that they found
Mrs. Rinaldi's body when they
returned to the apartment.
Mrs. Madget Spain of Dur
ham testified yesterday that
she sold Rinaldi a maternity
dress at the Durham depart
ment store where she worked
on Dec. 24, 1963. She estimated
the time of the sale at be
tween 11 and 11:30 a.m.
George M. Warren of Fur
ham, an insurance agent; Da
vid D. Hardy, who manages
an insurance office in Dur
ham; and Julian E. Upchurch,
a Durham druggist, all testi
fied they saw Rinaldi at the
Northgate Shopping Center in
Durham on the morning Mrs.
Rinaldi was killed.
The state contends Mrs. Ri
naldi's death was motivated
by a $20,000 double indemnity
insurance policy issued on her
through Sipp 27 days before
the couple married. Rinaldi
was named the beneficiary.
Cooper asked Rinaldi if he
had suggested any motive for
the slaying in his talks with

pears in 130 papers across the
nation. He is under long-term
contract with the Washington
Post and writes a monthly
feature for Newsweek Maga
zine. He has a similar long
term contract as a consultant
to CBS News.
Mr. Harris lives in River
dale, N. Y. He has three chil
dren, including a son, Peter,
who is a sophomore at UNC.
His daughter is a senior at
Wisconsin and the younger son
is a freshman at the Univer
sity of California at San Diego.
