The stillness of a foggy, rainy morning was broken by explosions at the large, mod ern homes of the four Negro civil rights leaders. They and their families escaped injury although damage was extens ive. Windows were blown out and the front doors shattered at the newly elected city councilman, and his brother, Kelly Alexan der, state NAACP president. The sprawling brick homes sit side by side in northwest Char lotte. Two miles away and equidis tant in another direction, blasts rocked the home of Dr. Regi nald Hawkins, a dentists and militant civil rights leader, and the home of Julius Chambers, fl , i. 1 s Vf S i'iVA r , J, r r "TPTSTW"?! : " J t x .... , . - - , r im.i.Mn" I i II t UNC COEDS admire the 70-foot long petition of thanks which is being sent to General William Westmoreland, U.

Hickey, 45, came to Chapel Hill in 1956 to be an assistant under Jim Tatum. He became head coach in 1959 following the death of "Big Jim." The totals of Hickey's seven year reign show 34 wins and 37 losses. He is the first coach in Carolina history to come up with a bowl victory. His 1963 team with an over- all record of 8-2 beat the Air Force 35-0 in the Gator Bowl. He was voted ACC "Coach of the Year" for that fine record. He is also the first Tar Heel coach to beat Notre Dame. His 1960 team turned the trick 12-7. Against arch - rival Duke, Hickey has mounted triumphs ui ou-u. Y-o. 10-14 ana 21-15 while losing three times 6-3, 16-14 and 34-7. Hickey graduated from the College of William and Mary in 1942 with an A. B. in his tory. He was a three-year letter man in football and, in his senior year he was a starter on the basketball squad. a lawyer and U. S. commis sioner. Police Chief John S. Hord said the blasts all occurred about 2:30 a.m. and were the work of "a well organized group, possibly four or five people in two or three cars." "Whoever it was knew ex plosives and they knew the sec tions of Charlotte and how to get in and out quickly," Hord added. Both Hawkins and Chambers live on dead-end streets. A team of Army demolition experts and the Federal Bu reau of Investigation were call ed in and Hord said prelimi nary reports indicate sticks of dynamite caused the explos ion. Police had no recent reports of threats against any of the four men or their families and were at a loss to pinpoint a single cause. Gov.

We will do everything possible to get to the bottom of this matter." Charlotte, a city of 235,000 and largest in North Carolina and South Carolina, is one of the few major Southern cities that has not had racial trouble in recent years.

Boggs also emphasized that the United States would stay in Viet Nam and "will do whatever is required to main tain a just peace in that area of the world." In answer to a question about sending Federal regis trars into the South, Boggs said that the Federal author ities are attempting to cooper ate with local registrars by giving them the opportunity to enforce the law. However, he added, "Where a local registrar continues to discriminate against a person because of race, the law should be enforced as writ Moore Wins As Best Self - Ronald A.

When asked about the prob lem raised by the addition of illiterates to the voting rolls, Boggs replied that this was an other problem that Louisiana was now attacking. Boggs claimed that there' has been a lessening of ra cial violence in Louisiana and said that the "solution is the same the world over," name ly, the enforcement of law and order.

His name will be added to those of previous Grail award recipients on the permanent plaque in the GM television room Three By SANDY TREADWELL DTH Staff Writer An old bus was parked be hind Carmichael Auditorium. A long line of students and their dates filed out of the new building and past the bus. Only a group of young teen agers remained stationary. They huddled together out of the rain. Their noses pressed against the glass of one of the doors leading into Woollen Gym, and excited pairs of eyes searched for a peek at their idols. Two students walk ed past the shrieking group. "There's no chance," one of them said. "Sure there is," his friend answered. "You've got noth ing to lose. Tell 'em you're from the Tar Heel." The student took a d e e p breath and plowed through the young girls. He grabbed an old and crumpled sheet of pa per and broke through the door. Then he crept into the nearest locker room. A small man in a blue suit hurriedly folded papers to gether and shoved them into a brown briefcase. A young man with long stringy hair and sun glasses sat in front of a row of tin lockers.

The close vote followed a lengthy floor fight over wheth er or not the party would use a secret or an open ballot to elect its chairman. Both candidates promised to increase the responsibilities of the SP Advisory Board and work to increase membership. Little also promised to work for the frequest publication of the "Open Forum," the SP newspaper, in order to combat what he termed "propaganda from The Daily Tar Heel." Blackwell did not call for a recount of the ballots and ac cepted the results of the vot ing. Attack Accusers Bill Withrow, SP Adminis trative Vice Chairman, attack ed opponents of the Student Party for "questioning the in tegrity of the entire SP mem bership." Without naming any particu lar offenders, Withrow said, "These charges were made without consideration for the best interests of Student Gov ernment, and in certain in stances they have been a great disservice to our University. "We have refrained from en flaming the campus with addi tional unfounded accusations," he said. Withrow urged University Party leaders to join with the Student Party in the formation of a fair campaign practices committee. "We hope this will lead to the reestablishment of the former friendly competitive relation ship which once existed and was the cornerstone of our system of student self-government," he said. Levy Speaks Dick Levy, the SP member who was the principal planner of the Morrison "skin flick" showing earlier this month, ad dressed the party and called for a reevaluation of Student Government ideals. "I speak tonight partially be cause I am embarrassed and partially because I am ashamed," he said. "Yet I am not prepared to deliver to this body a plea for mercy. "I hope that the Student Par ty, the only group remaining which stands for dreams, un bounded by expediency, will indulge for a few moments another whose feet may be a little on the ground," Levy said. Detroit Girls Make Good to you," he said. "My name's John Sebastian." He pointed at the sunglasses. 'That's Joe Butler. He plays the skins for us. "We started the Lovin' Spoonful nine months ago in Greenwich Village," Sebastian said. "We met hangin' around the Village. We were working at different jobs there, and we decided to make a try in this business. 'Magic' has- sold over the five hundred thous and mark. "The Supremes know us, and we get along well. That's why we're on this tour togeth er." "Is there any chance of me getting an interview with them," the reporter asked ner vously." "Don't know," Sebastian answered. "Speak to their manager. That's him over there." The boy collected his pad and ball point and scrambled to a huge Negro who resem bled Rosie Greer. "Don't know," the manager said. "We're in a hurry. Got a plane to catch." A small group of people gathered around the entrance to Woollen's training room, and the student hurried to ward them. "Barry Gordy must be mak ing quite a pile," one mem ber of the group commented. He urged everyone in Stu dent Government to end "their self-righteous attacks" and act for the common interest of the University. "In two months the Univer sity administration has become alienated from the student body," he said. "The Student Legislature has been the scene of petty partisanism. 'The Honor System and the court system have been shown to have need of strengthening, perhaps even beyond that en compassed in judicial reform. "The Daily Tar Heel has sometimes been ludicrous in its venom," Levy said. "The stu dent political parties have fail ed to set the proper example Dorm Referendum Approved Easily The men's residence hall stu dents voted yesterday to raise the residence fees by $3.20 per semester. The count was 1,606 to 588. One dollar of the raise will go to-the residence halls now. Two dollars will go to the residence colleges now being formed. This money will be put in escrow, pending the estab lishment of sound residence college governments and a working relationship between the residence colleges and Stu dent Government. The other $.20 of the hike will go to intramural man agers. Currently, each men's resi dence hall gets $1.50 from each student's room rent for social functions. No funds are alloted the residence colleges for so cial purposes. Before the referendum, the Men's Residence Council men tioned several uess the resi dence colleges will have addi tional funds. They included an expanded social program with concerts, dances, and mixers with women's residence halls, academic programs with such things as quiz files and tutor ing service, and residence col lege newspapers. Student Government voted Help Wanted Students who would like to help with activities at the Umstead Hospital one after noon a week are asked to please leave their name and phone number in the Y Student offices upstairs in the Y Building.

He turned to the nerv ous young reporter and told him no interviews. Then a Negro woman walked out of the training room. She passed out several autographed pic tures of her girls. Then the young student walked up to her. "Ma'am, can I get a short interview with one of them?" "What's it for," she asked. "The college newspaper." She smiled and asked him to wait a minute. Seconds later she reappeared. "Sure," she said, "they'll be glad to talk with you. What's your name?" The student stumbled into the training room. Then he heard the Negro woman in- troduce him to one of the world's most famous and finest female vocal groups. He glanced frantically around the old faded green room. An old woman closed sev eral suitcases and carefully placed the shining dresses back into their shining con tainers. A girl sat in a fold-up chair and took a long pull on a cig arette.

Outgoing SP Chairman Frank Hodges announced five appointments to his proposed fair campaign practices com mittee and said he intends to join the domestic peace corps next semester.

Hodges received a standing ovation from party members. emergency funds last week to help the financial situation in the colleges. It was made clear at the time that this would not be a permanent arrangement. Student Body Treasurer Tom White said Wednesday that the yearly cost of about $20,000 per college couldn't possibly be ab sorbed by Student Government. The resolution calling for the referendum was introduced into the MRC by President Sonny Pepper. It passed that body unanimously. Dean of Men William G. Long said Saturday that the existing residence colleges Scott, Morrison, and Morehead should receive their funds from the $2 increase sooner than the colleges that are only beginning to be formed.

Diana Ross, the group's lead singer, flashed her warm smile. "Hi," she said. "We all come from Detroit. The same neighborhood," Di ana began. "As soon as we graduated from high school we had an audition at Mo town. It took us three long years to get starter. But each of our nine records before we had a hit sold better than the last.
