'Dixie' Held Dear By UNC Students :
How do UNC students feel about Bob Holmes' :
(co-editor of the N. C. State Technician) editorial ;
calling for banning "Dixie"?
Gene Phipps, freshman, Rocky Mount " 'Dixie'
is a Southern tradition. I think it would be wrong to ;
abolish it."
Barbara Ridenhaur, junior, Salisbury "I'm
against abolishing it. It is one of the few things we :
Southerners have left to hang on to. I think the editor
just wanted to stir up opinion on campus."
Allen Webster, sophomore, Maxton "I think we
ought to ship the editor back to Yankee land."
(Holmes was raised in Alabama.)
Robert Lee Crocker, freshman, Rocky Mount
"Students ought to be able to sing what they want
to. I don't think there should be any more control over
songs than there should be over free speech."
Linda Armantrout, freshman, Winter Park, Fla.
"When I hear 'Dixie' it makes me feel proud I live
in the South. It doesn't mean Vm protesting change.
I don't think 'Dixie' has all the bad implications the
editor thinks it does."
Jean Blair, freshman, Winston-Salem "I don't
think its hurting anything to sing 'Dixie'. It's not im
portant enough to have all that controversy about it."
One young lady who didn't care to be quoted said
she figured Editor Holmes would soon come out
against sex.
New Protest Movement Underway
For some reason cold weather brings agitators
up from under their stones. Yesterday young peach
fuzzed students demonstrated their patriotism in Y
Court by trying to abolish the draft.
The SPU hasn't been taken too seriously after
their highly deserved bombardment by both students
and the press, Lord only knows what the Americans
for Democratic Action are up to.
But now another protest movement has been or
ganized. This one is the Association for Negro Instru
mentalists Against Light-Skinned Singers code
name ANIMALS.
'The Dailv What' She Asks
Yes Virginia, there is a Daily Tar Heel.
A DTH staffer was in town this week picking up
office supplies for the paper when he encountered a
department store clerk who supposedly isn't sure the
DTH exists.
"Charge it to The Daily Tar Heel," the staffer
said as he showed her the supplies he had bought.
"The Daily what?" the woman asked.
"The Daily Tar Heel."
"Spell it."
The clerk, who seemed to have normal hearing,
said she'd lived in Chapel Hill 14 years.

"You may not know it,
but you're one in a million,"
the ad said. "No one is quite
like you."
That's not quite what they
meant, however. The gist of
the Operation Match sales
pitch went something like
this:
Since we are all weary of
mixers and sick of blind
dates, why not let a com
puter take the blindness out
of a blind date.
Several hundred UNC stu
dents decided to try Opera
tion Match last October and
the results of the computer
ized match - making have
just started to pour in.
And like all machines of
its type, the computer has
registered a few errors
which only a machine can
make.
Take the case of a UNC
coed named Hortense. (She
declined to be fully identi
fied). When she got her list
of Matches back the other
day there were 15 names.
All girls.
Then there was a UNC
sophomore who got fixed up
with his sister, a freshman
at Duke. "They are as dif
ferent as night and day,"
one of his friends said.
But he was sure the ma
chine had erred, disregard
ing the fact that incest is
illegal in this country. "She
must have lied on the 'sex
ual experience' category,"
he said. "I know she hasn't
had any."
P e r h a p s the computer
based its decision on the
fact that opposites attract.
But there were other fac"
tors involved. An AD Pi at
UNC filled out the Opera
tin Match form "just as a
joke," she said.
What the machine didn't
know was that she had be
come engaged to a boy in
the meantime. What will she
do when the calls start com
ing in for dates?
"I'll make a date to play
bridge," she said. Won't the
boy be disappointed?
Most of the Match returns
contain from four to 15
names for possible dates.
No one is sure whether they
are listed in the order of
"best date" probability,
however.
A boy with 15 names on
his Match card said he isn't
sure if he's especially popu
lar or just common.
There is a nurse who act
ed in the best way she
knew how by cautioning two
of her boy friends to stop
calling up for Match dates
with certain girls in the
dorm.
"They were cool guys,"
she said, "but their dates
were losers." She might
have saved face for two an
xious males, but who knows,
maybe the machine was
right.
Junior coed Cathey Mat
thews said she knew two of
the boys she was matched
up with. "Out of five names
on my card, four of them
came from Carolina," she
said. "The other came from
Duke."
Did the machine do right?
"We get along great," she
said. "I called one of them
up and we had a chat."
There is some confusion
about the proper Match pro-
tocol. She the girl call the
boy, or should she leave it
up to the man to get in
touch with her?
Every boy on a girl's card
has her name included in
his list, and vice versa.
One boy took the easy way
out. He mailed his Match
date a post card. The card
said: "Dear Match. When?"
Operation Match might be
a social flop, though.
"If I get a call I'll prob
ably chicken out," one girl
said. But she added appre
hensively, "This thing is
really wild!"
One coed told of a friend
who was very particular.
"She decided she was going
to get matched," her friend
said. "But when the boys
started calling she turned
them down."

By BOB HARRIS
DTH Staff Writer
If you want to decide who's
the ugliest man on campus
(UMOC) and keep a ship
afloat at the same time, then
cast your vote in the eighth
annual Ugly Man Contest.
Nine contestants are vying
for the honor.
All proceeds will go to proj
ect "Hope," an international
hospital ship financed solely
by charitable projects of this
type.
"Hope" is a floating hospit
al that has done much work in
the underdeveloped areas of
Latin America.
After the first day of voting
Honeybun Hodges, last year's
runner-up, was leading the oth
er contestants by 150 votes.
Morrison and Lambda Chi
were tied for second place.
Hodges was leading until the
final day last year when a seal
ed bid by Tau Epsilon Ph
claimed the trophy.

Carolina Forum Chairman
George Nicholson III said in
a statement yesterday he has
been contacted by representa
tives of the Ku Klux Klan
who wished to know whether
Klan members would be
barred from the Forum-sponsored
speech of Congressman
Charles Weltner Monday night
here.
Nicholson said the Klan
spokesman .had . asked Jam to
reserve "50 to 60" seats for
Klan members at the Weltner
speech.
Weltner, a liberal congress
man from Atlanta, Ga., is the
member of the House Un
American Activities Commit
tee who proposed the recent
congressional investigation of
the Klan.
Weltner is scheduled to
speak on "the invisible em
pire" at 7:30 p.m. in Memor
ial Hall before the student
body and representatives of
local and national press, radio
and television.
"I have been contacted by
an intermediary of the Ku
Klux Klan inquiring whether
or not our program will be
open to the public and if Klan
members will be barred from
admittance," Nicholson said.
"I want to take this oppor
tunity of reiterating that all
Forum programs have been
and will continue to be open
to the public," he said. "We
have no intention of barring
anyone as long as they cos
duct themselves in an orderly
fashion."
Informed sources have told
the DTH at least 10 Klan
klaverns in North Carolina
will send representatives to
the meeting and form their
own "hooting section."
Weltner will be questioned
by a panel of distinguished
persons including Congress of
Racial Equality Board Chair
man Floyd McKissick, WRAL
commentator Peter B. Young,

A sw itch box that controls
the lights on the main floor

could do any major damage.
The blaze was put out by
an unidentified maintenance
man.
Chapel Hill firemen were
called to check the smoking

YR's Say Quit 1SSA
The UNC Young Republi
cans passed a unanimous re
solution Thursday night urg
ing Carolina to disaffiliate
with the National Student As
sociation. The resolution says that
NSA "took many actions and
made many official pro
nouncements in direct con
flict with the views and atti
tudes of UNC students."
The statement claims that
NSA resolutions condemning
U. S. intervention for peace in
the Dominican Republic, urg
ing Communist China's ad
mission to the United Nations
and supporting the Berkeley
Free Speech Movement plus
a donation of $100 to that
cause were against the beliefs
of most Carolina students.
The Young Republicans
called for immediate action
by all interested students to
bring about disaffiliation.
Library Scholarships
The South Carolina State
Library Board will award five
$2,500 scholarships for gradu
ate work in library science

Christmas Program

Children organization of Chapel
Hill.
The UNC Gleemen, a brass
ensemble from the Music De
partment, and the Young Peo
ple's Orchestra will perform.
Mrs. Bernice Otededo will b
the featured soloist.
Thursday night.
Supporters of the bill, a key
segment in the Dickson admin
istration's legislative program,
defeated two attempts to delay
the measure's passage.
Hugh Blackwell (SP) led the
fight for the bill, claiming,
"Student Government is very
lucky to ave gotten as far as
it has without advice of an at
torney." Blackwell said it was possi
ble to retain a good lawyer
for the post for $200.
The lawyer would be con
cerned with advising matters
related to the Student Discount
ing Commission, student publi
cations, the honor system, the
proposed Student Co-op.
Ed Wilson (UP) asked Black
well why the official Univer
sity attorney couldn't provide
counsel for Student Govern
ment. Blackwell said that in the
past the university attorney
had helped them only when he
could work it into his schedule.
Independent legislator Don
Carson asked if a Student Gov
ernment lawyer might repre
sent the student body in a dis
pute with the University ad
ministration. 'I would only say that a law
yer's advice might help to
avoid a confrontation of this
nature," Blackwell told Car
son. The debate was thrown open
to the floor and Bill Purdy
(UP) told the body not enough
specific information about the
bill and the attorney's powers
had been presented to the body
to merit passage of the meas
ure. Cathy Cauble (UP) asked
Hockfield if Dean of Student
Affairs, C. O. Cathey, had been
approached by SG officials to
allow Student Government use
of the University lawyer. Hock
field said that to his knowledge
Cathey had not been contacted.
and Greensboro attorney L.P.
McClendon.
McClendon was the chief
counsel for the recent Bobby
Baker hearings in Washing
ton. The program which is also
sponsored by the YMCA Hu
man Relations Committee,
will feature a CBS documen
tary film on the Klan which
will be shown preceeding
Weltner's remarks.
Weltner, who was cited in
the November 8 edition of
"Newsweek" as one of three
congressmen most likely to
"succeed," rose on the House
floor last February to call for
an investigation of the Klan.
"Let us reveal for all to see
the men behind the masks,"
Weltner told Congress. "The
Klan will plague us tomor
row unless we squash it to
day." Nicholson said he had been
informed by Weltner's office
last month that the Klan was
considering plans to harass
Weltner when he spoke in
Chapel Hill.
Student Body President Paul
Dickson said yesterday he
was "deeply disturbed" by the
threats of harassment.
"Even though we expect no
difficulties," Dickson said
"neither do we intend to tol
erate any actions that will
disrupt Congressman Welt
ner's visit."
Cameras from nine North
Carolina television stations
and two Atlanta stations will
broadcast the Weltner speech.
Eight of nine Ugly Men candidates are shown below.

TV Newsman
Blasts LBJ
Peter B. Young, the WRAL
TV newsman scheduled to ap
pear at the Carolina Forum,
hs called President Johnson
"emotionally unstable" and
siad the Klansmen are "our
brothers."
"What is the answer to the
Klan?" Young asked. "Not the
tender ministrations of our se
cret police, as deplored by a
vengeful President."
Johnson, besides being
"emotionally u n s t a b 1 e," is
"ruthless" and "unscrupu
lous," Young said in a state
ment to the forum.
He said the Klansmen "are
more right than the President
who so savagely condemns
them. . .
"The lonely, frightened, ex
ploited men of the Klan are
our brothers. We ride over
their lengthly list of legitimate
grievances at our own peril.
"When we confront the in
div'dual Klansman, we are
looking in the fun house mir
ror at ourselves. . .
"I am interested in the
Kl?nsmen as individuals,"
Young declared.
"Like you, they have wives,
children," mortage payments
