LSD Related Drugs Sold
BY JOHN GREENBACKER
DTH Staff Writer
"Pearly Gates," the bright
ly colored label reads.
"Blue Heaven," promises an
other. It costs between 15 and 25
cents, the price of any packet
of commercial variety garden
seed, but a small package of
Morning Glory seeds will pro
vide many unusual hours of
amusement or horror to the
buyer who eats his purchase
rather than planting it.
A teaspoon full of the seeds
mixed with a little honey to
flavor the taste will lead the
user through the pearly gates
and into a blue heaven of fan
tastic illusion and psycholo
gical reorientation.
The seeds contain chemicals
related to d-lysergic acid die
thylamide, commonly known as
LSD, and they produce rough
ly the same effects as better
known hallucigenic cousin.

Dear Santa: Where Are You?
What happens to all those Dear Santa letters?
The Chapel Hill Post Office has already received
a few this season and they pose a slight problem. They
don't know where to send them.
Postmaster Paul Cheek said they usually send the
letters back to the parents in a plain envelope or give
them to the Merchants Association.
"We give some to the local papers when we find
a cute one they might want to print," said Joe Augus
tine, director of the association.
"If we find a hardship case in a letter we try to
do something for the family at Christmas," Augustine
said.
It would be nice if there were no hardship cases
this year. Course it would help matters if the United
States Post Office could find Claus' change of address
form.
The L&M Boys, Lewis And Miller
The basketball team was pleased with the thunder
ous cheering Tuesday night.
But then the fans were pretty well pleased with
the thunderous performance of the Tar Heels. It was
too bad that the L & M boys, Lewis and Miller, lost
to Richmond by one point. They only managed to come
up with 75 between them while the Spiders got 76.

Decorations Blow A Fuse
It is really sad about Chapel Hill's new Christmas
decorations.
The fire department was called out twice last week
to put out electrical fires in the decorations on W.
Franklin St.
The department says if it happens again the lights
in that area will have to be turned off until the cause
can be determined and remedied.
Christmas may be over before it gets started and
certain merchants are bound to blow a fuse.
Publisher Publishes On Page One
There is a good story about Mark Foster Ethridge,
journalism lecturer here, who retired this summer as
editor of Long Island's Newsday.
The former publisher of the Louisville Courier
journal was arrested and charged one night for drunk
driving. The next day he ordered the embarrassing
story put on page one of the newspaper.
He received several calls from elderly women
around the city who offered to drive him around until
he got his license back.
Red Speaker On Campus Tuesday
They just amended the Communist Speaker Ban
Law not more than three weeks ago.

LSD drugs are not habit for

dangerous.
Recent clinical analysis by
psychiatrists, however, does
strongly indicate that use of
the drug will induce a perma
nent psychotic state in some
M I f

individuals, according to UNC
psychiatrist Dr. Martin Keel
er. Keeler said there is no sure
way of determining who will
be affected adversely by LSD.
Experimenters have not de
termined the full effect which
the drug produces in the hu
man brain, and research is
still in progress.
Keeler said LSD related ma
terials are "probably present"
in all Morning Glory seeds.
"Seed companies have re
ported that the sales of Morn
ing Glory seeds have just about
doubled within the last year
or so," Keeler said.
Police Powerless
Despite the risks involved in
taking LSD under unsupervis
ed conditions, many students
here and elsewhere continue
to use the drug.
LSD use has been related to
some recent suicide cases and
accidents.

large quantities of Morning

scattered thoughout the vehi
cle. The car belonged to a UNC
student, and one was seriously
injured.
There are no federal laws
against the use or distribution
of LSD and related drugs, ac
cording to Blake.
"There is a state law which
says it is illegal to possess
peyote," Blake said.
"We know there are a lot
of people using thosse Morn
ing Glory seeds," Blake said,
"but we can't do anything
about it.
Early next spring, the seed
dealer will make his bi - an

er reported to the police."
Blake explained that "any
personal injury or property
damage over $100 is normally
reported to us, and that nat
urally includes campus acci
dents.'.' .
Beaumont said there have
been no fatalities on motor
bikes yet "Knock wood."
He added that "last year we
had some serious head injur
ies." Unfortunately, "The 'expert
rider' has between 15 minutes
and three months experience,"
Beaumont said.
Blake added that "in the ac
cidents we have, the cyclists
always come out at the worst
end" compared with automo
bile drivers.
"And sometimes, the motor
cycles are hard to control, but
if a person would really took
advantage of the cycles' great
er maneuverability, he'd come
out ahead.
"I frequently get calls from
parents, jjet so far I havent
advised anyone not to let his
son have a cycle.
"But," he continued, "I
agree the danger is the biggest
objection to having one. Most
accidents result in leg injur
ies." He said the seriousness of
the cycle mishaps varies great
ly, making it hard to agree on
a common definition of a re
portable accident.
Blake recommended making
the wearing of crash helmets
compulsory.
He mentioned "the son of a
good friend of mine" who
would have been killed if he
hadn't had his helmet on."

Winter chills got you down?
Consider the following girl's
plight. It is presented in be
half of those trained to plan
and think ahead.
TIME: Late spring.
The sun beat down merci
lessly on the coat - clad fig
ure as she moved resolutely
towards her destination. She,
however, was no to be over
whelmed by the stifling heat,
or distressed by the curious
stares, but merely pulled her
coat more snugly about her.
Perspiration running down her
forehead, hair sticking damply
to her neck, she smiled inward

ing the right thing.
Who is this strange girl: Why
a coat in such heat? What
is this "right thing?"
My friends, here you behold
a Carolina coed abiding by a
"recommendation" concerning
the wearing of bermudas and
slacks on campus. Thus, a
coat must cover her bermuda
bared knees or toreadored fi
gure. This indeed is the right
thing.
It is right because as a Ca
rolina coed she must be a la

tion. Anyone knows a real la

toreadors. She is always pro

Frosh Spaghetti
White Cancels Dinner
Freshman Class President
Ben White announced yester
day that the spaghetti . dinner
planned to raise money for
the class has been postponed
until after Christmas because
of technical difficulties.
He explained that the ath
letic department would not
permit any type of fire heat
or open flame in the Tin Can
and the electrical system was
not suitable for electric stoves.
He cited other University
functions that coincided with
the dinner as another reason
for postponement.

"really" in just the right tone,
faints at the sight of blood,
and smiles a lot, demurely, of
course.
This is the ideal we must
strive forrDown-with this care-'
free abandonment, this unfem

"those girls" who feel they
can look just as neat, just as
proper in bermuda and Slacks.
Such irreverence for the
word! They go further to sug
gest that as girls intellectually
capable of dealing with Caro
lina academics, and Carolina
men, they are capable of de
termining what dress is proper
without the aid of recommen
dations, or a house council rul
ing. They mutter about the ridi
culousness of having to wear
a coat, the girl thinks to her
self, but don't realize that they
must protect their feminine
image (no one will ever guess
they have bermudas on under
their coats, and a London Fog
over toreadors is actually most
becoming).
They must also protect the
poor innocent Carolina gentle
man. He must not be distract

the cool shade of a tree in his
tee - shirt and cut - off blue
jeans, or his madras bermu

Whistle 'Dixie'
But Don't Sing
By ERNUS McCRARY
DTH Editor
RALEIGH "Have I bit
ten off more than I can chew?
Holy mackerel, you aren't just
er ah whistlin' 'DiJLie'."
Bob Holmes, an editor of
the N. C. State Technician,
made the statement yesterday,
two days and several demon
strations after he wrote an ed
itorial comdemning the song
"Dixie."
"I never expected it to es
calate to the sclae it has,"
he -sa'd. "We were just trying
to provoke some discussion
among the students here, but
it has got out of hand."
Wednesday morning a big
banner reading "Dixie Forev
er" appeared at the top of a
smokestack on campus. Stud
ents rose at breakfast in the
cafeteria to sing "Dixie."
Wednesday night some 600
students gathered between two
dormitories to talk it all over.
Half of them moved on to the
newspaper's office after a stu
dent counselor confiscated a
bull horn and told the noise
makers to break it up.
They gathered outside the of
fice and yelled for the edi
tors even burned a few cop
ies of the paper nearby. Bill
Fishburne, the other editor,
went out and led the crown in
the "Star Spangled Banner"
while Holmes preferred the se
curity of his office.
"Two Negroes showed up
with 'Down Dixie' signs and
there was a little mix - up,"
Holmes said. "The signs were
taken away from them and
torn up, but there wasn't any
real trouble."
The crowd grew slightly,
then decided to move down
town. Marches on the Capi
tol are a traditional means of
protest on the Raleigh cam
pus, and that is where they
went, to tsing a few choruses
of "that song."
Homes, a native of Raleigh,
said, "We've had about 20 let
ters, about two - thirds of
them against us. The phone
hasn't quit ringing, and some
of the profanity and threats
we're getting would put a sail
or to shame."
Homes wrote the editorial,
but Fishburne, an Ashville na
tive, said the staff supports it.

Scholarship Fund
A scholarship fund provid
ing annual grants equaling
the most generous and at
tractive now available to un
dergraduates in this country
has been established within
the Music Department by an
alumnus, Sidney M. Dowd of
Blowing Rock.
Valued at $2,000 for an aca
demic year of two semesters,
the Dowd scholarships are de
signed for students majoring
in music, whose principal in
terests and abilities lie in the
field of performance. They
will be awarded on an annual
basis for a maximum tenure
of four years, with option of
futher tenure for students of
unusual promise.

Song Itself,
To Music
tories of groups that perform
on the university campus.
And North Carolina of all
places. Tar Heels point with
pride at the motto "First at
Bethel, farthest at Gettysburg,
last at Appomattox."
The editorial said there was
no argument with the song it
self, only the reaction to the
music.
The editorial added "it ap
pears that all a performing
group has to do is strike a few
notes of that tune and . . .
people automatically shout
frantically, stand up and sing.
Dixie' represents those things
the South should be attempt
ing to lay aside. It is a rem
nant of the 19th Century which
has no place in the 20th. Dixie
gives unreconstructed Souther
ners something of the past
which to cheer and there is
certainly little in the past of
the South about which anyone
should wish to cheer."
Some 300 students wouldn't
sit still for this editorial at
tack. They converged on the
college newspaper offices Wed
nesday night demanding a re
traction and an apology.
They screamed for the edi
tors to make an appearance.
One of the co - editors Bill
Fishburne, a Tar Heel na
tive slipped out of the of
fice and joined the demonstra
tors. Then an estimated 400 stu
dents marched on the state
capitol with Confederate flags
whipping in the night air and
the. sound of "Dixie" floating
through the city of Raleigh.
A college official marched
with the students and remark
ed later, "It looked very much
like the rebel retreat from At
lanta." Don Grigg, manager of the
campus radio station, also be
came a target when he left in
structions, to announcers: "It
is deemed in keeping with out
policy on neutrality on editor
ial matters not to air Dixie at
this time."
Only once during the demon
strations was there a threat of
trouble.
Two Negro students from
North Carolina State appeared
with a placard saying, "Down
with Dixie." The crowed ripp
ed the poster from their hands
and destroyed it.
Many other students wrote
letters against the editorial
and scores of others telephon
ed the newspaper office.
