most stunning technological
breakdown in many years left

a sixth of the population
without electricity for 10 hours
Tuesday.
The blackout, still unexplain
ed yesterday, started at 5:17
p.m. and spread through Buf
falo, Rochester, Syracuse, Uti
ca, Schenectady, Troy and Al
bany. Four minutes later Bos
ton was in Darkness, then the
failure spread southward
through Connecticut, north
ward into Vermont, New
Hampshire, Maine and Cana
da. It hit New York at 5:28 p.m.,
then leaped the Hudson River
to parts of Northern New Jer
sery. A UNC student was waiting
for a flight back to school from
New York when the blackout
hit. Here is her reaction to the
lights that failed.)
By SUZANNE MEARNS
Special To The DTH
A funny thing happened the
other day. All the lights went
out. There I was, sitting in the
waiting-room at La Quardia
airport in New York waiting
for my flight to Raleigh-Durham
to be announced. It was
dusk in New York City and
the flying commuters were all
there, brief-case and trenchcoat
in hand. Suddenly, the lights
darkened, flickered briefly, and
then all was black.
Strange things do happen in
The City, and a waiting room
is as good a place as any to
wait. So we waited. And wait
ed. And still no light.
The flight attendant was as
confused, if not more so, as the
waning passengers were. "La
aies and gentlemen, we don't
exactly know what's happened,
but it seems that there has
been an electrical failure here
in the terminal. If you will just
be patient, we'll have every
thing straightened out in a few
minutes."
Half an hour later, "Uh, La
dies and gentlemen, uh, the I
power iauure nas been report- I
ed to be fairly wide-spread. We
don't know exactly when it will
be restored ... if you live in
the city, we suggest you delay
your departure until tomor
row . . ."
Luckily, I have a sister liv
ing in Queens, which is about
ten minutes from La Quardia.
So I decided to take an extra
long weekend. I groped my
way to a baggage locker in
semi, very semi-darkness, left
my suitcase, and went out to
the ramp to find a taxi. The
idea was not original. In the
rapidly failing twlight, every
one wanted a taxi.
New Yorkers lack a certain
Southern Hospitality. Fat la
dies, old men and debonaire
businessmen elbowed me out of
the way, screamed "TAXI!"
in my ear and stepped on my
feet. But they're always that
way, so I jostled back and
made it to the curb where as
many as ten people were piling
into one taxi-cab.
Finally an old gentleman
leaned out of the window of a
partially filled cab and asked
me where I was going. I
wasn't going where he was go
ing, but he said to hop in any
way. I must have looked pretty
pathetic by that time. As it
turned out, the man was from
Charlotte. The cab driver took.
me to my sister's apartment
building first
It was errie driving through
a darkened city, particularly
New York City, where the
nights are hardly distinguish
able from the days. People
were walking around every
where. Vendors were selling
candles. Lighters flickered.
It was like a huge tapping
ceremony taking place, except
everyone was talking. Some
were laughing and gay, others
were frightened and lost. Po
licemen were everywhere, di
recting traffic and giving di
rections. By that time, night
had fallen completely on the
city but the neon signs and
apartment windows remained
dark.
At my sister's apartment,
the doorman handed me a can
die with a pleasant "Nice night
out. huh?" Walking up the
three flights of stairs like Lady
MacBeth, I paused to watch
the rescue operation going on
at the elevator. The lady who
finally emerged with groceries
in arm said, "My husband will
never believe this!" He prob
ably will.
My sister met me at the
door with a flash-light and the
final witticizm, "Where were

Di Phi Senate Favors NSA;
Audience Votes Negatively
By DAVID ROTHMAN
DTH Staff Writer
The Di-Phi Senate voted 10
to 2 in favor of UNC's con
tinued NSA membership aft
er listening to Tuesday's de
bate between Senior Class
Vice President Armistead
Maupin and Eric Van Loon,
NSA campus coordinator.
But the maiority of persons
at the debate voted against
belonging to the National Stu
dent Association.
Maupin, who wants NSA
membership ended, said UNC
students should not be com
pelled to support the liberal
rtPO'jniT'jf inn VirmiaVi ctnanf
government activity fees.
ne insisted mere are prin-
ciples involved and drew this
analogy between NSA and a
faulty soft drink machine:
"Our membership may cost
13 cents a student a year,but
if I put a dime in a Coke
machine and it doesn't give
me a Coke, I'm going to kick
tne neu out oi u."
He cited NSA's controversi
al stands on the Berkeley pro
test movement, integration
and the admission of Red
China into the United Nations.
Van Loon called attention
to tribute paid NSA by Vice
President Hubert Humphrey
and other national leaders.
He said that although UNC
students often disagree with
NSA's positions, Carolina
should remain in the organi
zation because of services it
renders like:
Travel information.
Insurance.
Representation of U. S.
students at international meet
ings. Advice to student gov
ernments on the handling of
campus problems like park
ing.
Suggestions on course
evaluation and similar aca
demic matters.
Van Loon claims that
NSA's critics ave made its
official policies seem more
radical than they are.
He said NSA endorsed the
Berkeley protest only after
"all channels of communica
tion" between students, facul

Working
Together
The presidents of the UNC
chapters of the Young Demo
crats and Republicans are be
ginning to work with the newly-formed
Committee on Na
tional Student Citizenship In
Every National Case of
Emergency (CONSCIENCE).
CONSCIENCE was created
at Stanford University in re
sponse to nation-wide student
demonstrations against U. S.
policy in Vietnam. It is work
ing on a bi-partisan basis
through the leadership of
Young Democrats and Young
Republican organizations on all
accredited college campuses.
Tom Bolch, head of the lo
cal YDC, and Dave Sentelle,
Head of the local YRC, said
yesterday they are beginning
to work on a national lecture-in
to be held on Nov. 22.
The purpose of the national
lecture-in will be to inform
President Johnson and nation
al leaders all over the world
that the great majority of
American college students feel
it is their responsibility to sup

ty and the administration
"were closed."
The campus coordinator de
nied his group glorifies un
necessary civil disobedience
U. S. troops immediately or
dered out of Viet Nam with
the present situation.
Maupin said UNC students
could use NSA's travel cards
even if the school dropped its
membership. He added:
"It's awful hard anyway to
walk up to a Parisian and
say, 'Give me a room at a
25 per cent discount' . . . even
if the card says 'I go to
school' in eight different lan
guages." He questioned the value of
NSA's insurance plan, saying
the association "gets a $1
kickback for every policy it
sells."
Maupin insisted NSA's help
was not needed to produce
UNC's course evaluation
guide.
Van Loon told the audience
of more than 50 persons that
the organization's insurance
plan is also used by U. S.
military academies. He said
NSA furnished the forms for
the evaluation jjuide.
The Senior Class Vice Pres
ident constantly referred to
the alleged domination of NSA
by radicals. He claimed NSA
had given the Student Non
Violent Coordinating Commit
tee (SNCC) "funds for some
project in Mississippi."
SNCC is an integration or
ganization whose leaders
have attacked U. S. Viet Nam
policy.
Maupin mentioned NSA's
appeal to member schools to
contribute to the Free Speech
Movement Defense und.

Playmakers' 'Summer Tree'
("The Summer Tree" by
Randolph Umberger. Present
ed Nov. 9, 1965, by Carolina
Playmakers.)
By PETER COWEN
Special To The DTH
"The Summer Tree" airs
out issues which transcend the
conflicts old vs. new gener
ation, urban vs. rural, ends
justify means vs. strictly mo
rality around which the plot
revolves.
In this comedy of initiation
Shubert Playwright Umberger
colors the 24-hour attempt of
a low-income family to capi
talize on its "big in" with
irony, satire, country wit, fan
tasy and honest emotion.
An adolescent girl's misad
venture with a roving Casano
va set off a chain of events
which eventually brings the
family closer to an understand
ing of each other and them
selves. Floyd Ramsey (Bill Smith)
is the bitter father of a family
which lives in Raleigh "short
ly after the end of World War
I," who blames his wife for
what he considers her failure
to let him take the chance
which might have made him
a rich man.
The presence of his father-in-law,
Adam Willis (Ben
Jones), who lives with the fam
ily, is particularly chafing to
Floyd since Mare Ramsey
(Kristine Hoover), Floyd's
daughter, eagerly clings to ev
ery romantic, make-believe no
tion fed to her by the old man.
" i
VAN LOON . . . "Let's Stay In!'
Brought up additional ex
amples of radicalism.
Denounced NSA for lack
of tolerance of conservatism.
Said NSA has unwisely
strayed from a policy of "re
garding students in their role
as students."
Suggested their primary
interest is in themselves, "not
others . . . until I am pre
pared for it (by education)."
NSA Delegate Teddy
O'Toole said the organization
needs conservative delega
tions to balance out the rad
ical influences cited by Mau
pin. Like Van Loon, he praised
NSA's services. He said he
was in constant contact with
NSA national headquarters,
which he called responsive to
students' needs.
Di-Phi Speaker Pro Tern
John' Greenbacker also sug
gested that UNC conservatives
try to influence NSA.
Greenbacker warned the
conservatives not to "look
like a spoiled child and say
we'll go back to Chapel Hill
and sulk.
"They turn their backs to
the intellectual intercourse of
society," he said, referring to
ultra-conservatives. "I hope
the students of this school will
not follow them."
NSA delegate Wright Doyle
criticized many NSA conven
tion delegations for advocat
ing resolutions like the sug
gestion that unmarried stu
dents be given contraceptives.
But he added, "NSA is here
to stay ... We should change
NSA . . . not stop it."
He agreed with Greenback
er that conservative delega
tions like UNC's must organ
ize themselves better.
A DTH
Adam's closeness to his
granddaughter is also a source
of jealousy in Floyd. When
Harry (James Lenz), Floyd
and Meg's impetuous son
comes home with the "impor
tant" car dealer, Paul Atkins
(Pat Tone), each member of
the family except Adam maneu
vers for the brighters position
in the sunlight of his favor.
Even when the family is sud
denly alerted to the true na
ture of Atkins' character,
Floyd and Harry rationalize
about his attempted rape of
Mare to the point that Mare is
punished.
Ironically, though, the des
picably insincere Atkins draws
brother and sister closer to
themselves and each other, as
well as to Adam's earthly
philosophy ("Nothing's possi
ble when you're too rich to see
the sunset.").
Kristine Hoover's portrayal
of Miranda (Mare) gives sub-
stance to an almost fair-like
young girl whose plight is that
of a romantic in a world which
doesn't understand romantics.
Miss Hoover's evocation of
The Virgin at "the Virgin
Tree" with all the tatter's
ironic implications and her
speech to the "fire fishes"
(both in Act II) are particular
ly powerful bits of acting. Ad
am Willis' memory is as keen
as his wit ("you can be rich
another time, huh?") and his
country euphemisms are in di
rect contrast to Floyd's oppor
tunism (speaking of Paul.
"This is our big in") and
compromising morality.

Freshman Profile
Shows Top Breed
A new breed descended on
Carolina this fall.
And the simplest way to de
scribe it is a wealth of brain
potential.
Statistics just released by
the office of admissions show
that 72.4 per cent of the class
of 1970 came from the top
fourth of their senior class.
Only 68.96 per cent of the
boys achieved that mark,
where 92.2 per cent of the girls
were skimmed from the top
fourth category.
Perhaps more amazing, and
more revealing of UNC's rising
standards of admission, is that
not one student came from the
bottom fourth of his senior
graduating class last June.
Charles Bernard, director of
admission, compiled the report.
Broken into application totals.
Students Urged
To Observe
Veterans Day
UNC students were urged
yesterday to attend Veterans
Day ceremonies by Student
Body President Paul Dickson,
Dean of Student Affairs C. O.
Cathey, YDC President Tom
Bolch and YRC President Dave
Sentelle.
A student group headed by
Charlotte senior Otto J. Reich
had earlier obtained the Uni
versity's permission to partici
pate in the activities to show
student support of u. s. viei
Nam policy.
Dickson said he would attend
the occasion and told the DTH:
"This is an important day we
set aside each year to recog
nize those who have fought and
died for this county.
"I hope everybody will at
tend." Dean Cathey explained he al
ways goes to Veterans Day
ceremonies. Cathey praised
Reich and his followers.
"I'll be happy to join the
ROTC groups when they hold
their formal retreat ceremony
honoring the soldiers who have
fought in past wars and those
who are fighting in Viet warn,
he said.
Review
James Lenz could be more
arragontly self-asserting i n
his role as the out-of-the-pan-into-the-fire
Harry who mo
mentarily renounces his sister
to get ahead; Pat Tone is
strong as the Machiavellian
businessman who flatters and
cons his way into all hearts
except those of Adam and
(strangely enough) a lady of
ill repute.
Floyd's wife is both the sym
pathetic and reassuring moth
er and the appeaser of con
flicts with the family as well
as between the family and the
neighbors. Anne Peacock does
a creditable job in this respect,
and Bill Smith lends tragic, if
not even heroic qualities to
Floyd's battle with life.
"The Summer Tree" though,
would be notably lacing with

Cahoon. Paul Byron Baker
makes this carefree country
boy come alive with acting
which will make future casting
of the part difficult without
him.

mother, and even the two
Eirls of ill

sake from "The Tempest" are
romantic young girls, intrigued
by the world of the supernat
ural. The strikingly raw element
of evil innate to the charac
ters of Paul Atkins and Cali
ban are set against the wise
old men Adam and Prospero
(Floyd in some respects is also
analogous to Prospero). Al
though Prospero's choice of
reason over vengence has a
different implication, Floyd
also makes this choice.
Willy Loman in Henry Mill
er's "Death of a Salesman"
may be seen in Floyd's dis
gust at his own failure in life
and his desire to build at any
cost (most obviously that of re
fusing to face the truth) a son
who will make up for his lack
of success. Willy and Adam re
treat into distorted dream

world they set out to conquer.

University Party candidates
captured eight and Student
Party candidates took five of
the class offices in the fall
elections Monday.
The vice presidencies of the
freshman and junior classes
and three Honor Council seats
are still being contested, ac
cording to Elections Board
Chairman Alvin Tyndall.
The student body defeated
a controversial constitutional
amendment which would have
given the student body presi
dent the power to appoint the
student body secretary by a
vote of 2,581 to 1,137.
Vote tabulations for the jun
ior class were marred by the
loss of all junior ballots cast
in Alexander Residence Hall.
Tyndall said yesterday
Alexander's junior ballots
were discovered missing after
they had been sorted and set
aside in a temporary tally
room in Graham Memorial
Monday night.
"We are trying to locate the
missing ballots now," Tyndall
said. "We may have to open
the Alexander ballot box to
check for them."
Tyndall said if all of the
nearly 40 juniors in Alexander
had voted entirely one way
on each of their class office
candidates, their votes could
only have changed the winner
of the junior class vice presi
dential race.
An exhaustive search for
the missing ballots will be
conducted before a new elec
tion between Bill Nucciaroni
(UP) and Tom Gauntlett
(SP) is called, according to
Tyndall.
Junior class results are as
follows:
Mel Wright (SP) defeat
ed Steve Salmony, 557 to 400,
for the presidency.
Tentative totals for
Gauntlett and Nucciaroni are
472 and 484 respectively.
Secretary is Liz Scott
(UP).
Treasurer is Susan War
ren (UP).
Social Chairman is Becky
Tatum (UP).
Sophomore results are as
follows:

Dick Young, 548 to 418 for the
presidency. '

vice president.
Students
Favor Britt
Amendment
Students at the University of
North Carolina voted today in
a poll showing that nine out of
10 students are in favor oi tne
Britt Commission recommen
dations on amendment of the
Speaker Ban Law.
A casual poll taken by the
University News Bureau ques
tioned 103 students at random
in dining halls, on the campus,
in the library, and outside
classrooms.
The overwhleming majority
of Carolina Students believe
the Britt Commission findings
-and the recommendations of
Governor Dan K. Moore are
"a step in the right direction."
Most students would have
preferred repeal. But they
understand the practicality of
compromise. They axe wining
to accept it.
The poll is considered a rea
sonably accurate measurement
of popular opinion on the cam
pus.
The questions was asked:
"What do you think of the Britt
Commission recommen
dations? Do you think the Leg
islature should amend the law
as Dropseod? Are you pleased
or displeased with the Britt
Commission report?"
Of the 103 questioned, 89 said
they are for amending the law
as proposed by Senator Britt
and uov. aioore, as a lair com
promise of a difficult problem
Eight students said they are
for outright repeal, and that no
compromise suited them.
Three students are in favor
of the present Speaker Ban
Law as it exists.
Three more declare they are
neutral or can't make up their
minds. One said: "I don t know
what to think- I haven't read
the Daily Tar Heel today."

Secretary is Karen Glbb
(UP).
Treasurer is Mike Rabb
(SP).
Social Chairman is Liza
Robb (UP).
Freshman results are as
follows:
Ben White (SP) defeated
Rusty Clark (UP) 896 to 631
for the presidency.
A recount will be held to
confirm Aaron Clinard's (UP)
victory over Buddy Farfour
(SP). Totals were 781 to 739.
Secretary is Ann Martin
(UP).
Treasurer is Tony Gore
(UP).
Social Chairman is Sa
rah Mendelson (UP).
Men's Council winners and
their districis are as follows:
Miles Eastwood in MD I.
Winburne King in MD
III.
Bob Powell by write-in in
MD IV.
Kent Hedman by write
in in MD V.
Ashley Thrift in MD VII.
Champ Mitchell in MD
VIII.
Taylor Branch in MD X,
A recount will be held of
the results in MD XII. Earlier
tabulation showed Bill Find
ley had been defeated by L.E.
Sawyer for that district's
Men's Council seat by 245 to
241.
In MD XI defeated write-in
candidate Mike Mulchey has
claimed his opponent, Bob
Shepard, was guilty of a vio
lation of the election laws.
Mulchey said Shepard cam
paign literature was being
handed out within SO Uet of
the polling station on election
day, which constitutes an il- .
legal act.
Election results for Wom
en's Council races are as fol
lows: -
Madeline Grey and Val
erie Gynne were elected to
seats in WD I.
Emily Cathey in WD II.
Daryl Brinton in WD III.
Karen Checksfield in WD
IV.
Shirley Appel in WD V.
A special runoff election will
be held in WD VI between
Gayle Chipman and Jean
Caldwell. Both write-in oppon
ents received 5 votes in Mon
day's balloting.
Party Claims
The chairmen of both the
Student and the University
parties claimed victory in the
elections.
UP Chairman Jim Hubbard
cited the greater number of
offices won by UP candidates,
and SP Chairman Frank
Hodges pointed to the fact
that SP candidates won the
presidency of each class.
Tyndall said the only prob
lem which arose during the
elections other than the loss
of the junior ballots was the
tardiness of many poll ten
ders.
He said voting was very
heavy for a fall election.
Special
Election
A special election will be
held next Tuesday in Craige
Residence Hall to fill the va
cancy in Student Legislature
created by the death of inde
pendent Roger Davis.
Student Government by-laws
state an independent resigning
from legislature has the right
to recommend his successor to
the student body president for
appointment.
Because of Davis' death, Stu
dent Body President Paul
Dickson said yesterday he has
requested that Craige Hall
president Eddie McMahan
conduct a special election
among Craige residents to rec
ommend someone to appoint to
the seat.
Dickson said he will qpoint
whoever is selected.
"1 wish to make it clear that
this is not an official Student
Government election but mere
ly a means of seeking out the
opinion of the residents of
Craige," Dickson said.
"I fully expect that the elec
tion will be conducted as near
as possible according to the
relevant provisions of the Gen
eral Elections Law to insure a
fair and open election," he
said.
McMahan said yesterday all
candidates for the special elec
tion must submit their names
to him before Friday.
