Rumors circulated the cam pus over the weekend that "UNC" had been burned in the middle of the Duke foot ball field sometime after Sat urday's game. Another story had some stu dents fearing that Rameses had been ramnapped again. However, both rumors were reported not true yesterday. But this does not indicate that students from either school are apathetic about the annual Duke - UNC battle to be held in Durham Saturday. Pi Kappa Phi fraternity has 31 floats scheduled for its an nual "Beat Dook" parade Fri day and 24 contestants have been entered in the "Beat Dook Queen" competition.

The National Association of College Stores reports an alarming upsurge in thievery on college campuses. In an ar ticle appearing in "Esquire" (September, 1965) a writer charges, "College students steal. They steal more each year than the year before. . ." But UNC students can con sider themselves fortunate. Campus Police Chief Arthur Beaumont says he has very few reports of theft. He said there was a series of wallet-stealing earlier this year, and he occasionally gets a complaint of a stolen ID. "But for the most part we are very fortunate. Our stu dents are generally of a high caliber and most of them come from good homes. We don't have the trouble that you find on college campuses in the larger cities." . He said the stolen wallets re-1 suited in most cases from! carelessness in leaving them lying in the rooms while own ers were out. The security chief for one Big Ten campus says that while there may be more theft today, there are more stu dents and bigger campuses, too. "We have no more crime on campus than in any other pop ulated area," he said. He also claims that 80 per cent of the thefts of property on campus are accounted for by outsiders who come into the college to loot. NROTC color guard, Drill Team and Drum and Bugle Corps and the AFROTC color guard, Drill Team and band will march in the parade.

UNC had a case of outside looting last year A Chapel Hill youth was arrested in connec tion with theft of money and personal articles from several fraternity houses. Thefts of cars, parts of cars and items left in cars are re ported as the most common serious crimes on the campus of one big state university. This brand of larceny has also made itself known at Car olina. Chapel Hill Police have issued warning after warning to .students not to leave valu ables in unlocked automobiles Darked on the street. Some of the thievery may be blamed on pranks. For exam ple, a coed's car ground to a halt on a college campuse one warm day last spring, appar ently badly overheated. A campus policemen hurried over to help, lifted the hood, and found that the radiator had been stolen. However, not all the thefts are just pranks. On the same campus, more than $1,000 in clothes was stolen from a car a student had packed in prep aration for a trip home.

I'll leave it with you now. I've said all I can say," Governor Dan K. Moore said as he walked out of a joint session of both houses of the General Assembly yesterday. The time was 1 p.m., and the governor had just finished delivering a 23-minute plea to the legislators to amend the controversial speaker ban law passed by the General Assem bly during its 1963 session. The special session called by Moore to deal with the law op ened promptly at 12 noon, when the presiding officers of both houses eaveled their chambers to order. This is how it went in the House: A few seconds after the clock in the chamber had passed the mid-day mark, Speaker Pat Taylor leaned forward, adjust ed nis microphone and rapped the gavel sharply against its block several times: "The House will please come to order. Guests and visitors will leave the floor. Members will take their seats." Roll CaU As .a . noise , of . conversation subsided, the reading clerk rose, and in a rapid staccato, began running through the roll. Several representatives slipped m through side doors of the chamber just in time to an swer "present." One enthusiastic member of the House, hearing his name called, responded with a loud Aye," and then as an after thought, changed his answer to a quiet "present." Following a rapid exchange of courteous messages with the Senate; the clerk again rose to present special rules for the session, adopted earlier in the day by the rules committee. The rules were adopted unani mously. Several representatives rose to explain the absence of their colleagues. Leaves of absen ces of varying durations were granted by the speaker in each case. Then came another ex- chnee of messages with the other chamber. This entire procedure of cranking up the year's second session of the General Assem bly took less than 15 minutes then the legislators ran out of steam.

A few minutes later mem bers of the Senate were es corted into the House cham ber by the Sergeant at Arms. Special seats had already been setup for the senators, so they could hear the governor. Escort A joint Senate - House com mittee was named to escort the governor down the center aisle. Then once more the ses sion ground to a halt as the legislators awaited the arrival of the governor.

Moore yes terday opened a special ses sion of the General Assem bly. Moore told the legislators, "Let us accept the reasonable and honorable settlement sug gested by our Speaker Ban Law Study Commission. "If you will support legis lation as recommended by the commission, there will be no defeat for anyone, but a vic tory for all the people of North Carolina." Moore, speaking before the combined membership of both the House and the Senate, said, "I am convinced that this amendment to the exist ing law will end the bitter controversy which is dividing our people and our state." In addition to legislators, a large audience filled the House chamber, filling even the standing room in the gal leries. Called Session Moore himself had called the special session of the Gen eral Assembly two weeks ago when the study commission named to resolve the contro versy arising over the 1963 speaker ban law recommend ed that the law be amended. .The law, officially entitled "An Act To Regulate Visiting Speakers At State Supported Colleges and Universities," forbids known communists and those who have taken the Fifth Amendment in loyalty hearings from speaking on campuses of state - supported institutions.

The afternoon session began with just such a combined meeting, hearing a detailed report from Study Commis sion Chairman Dave Britt. Top Prospect Britt is himself a member of the General Assembly, as were the majority of the mem bers of the commission; he is currently considered the top prospect for Speaker of the House during the 1967 session. Britt gave the legislators a complete run-down of witness es and testimony heard at the for days of hearings this summer. The Britt Commission had recommended that the law be amended to give the respec tive boards of trustees the right to reject speakers. Britt told the legislators that if the law were amended, there would be no "political communist speakers" invited to the campuses of state supported institutions "in the foreseeable future." Also present at the session were a number of the out " spoken supporters of " the speaker ban, including Sen. Robert Morgan, had been the spokesman of the American Legion before the study panel.
