The South's Largest College Newspaper Volume 74, Number 74 CHAPEL HILL NORTH CAROLINA FRIDAY, JANUARY 7, 1966 Founded February 23, 1893. ivith Ed Freakley Br'er Dook, I's Afa Youz I came out against the ram yesterday as Caro lina's mascot and have been waiting for someone to come up with an idea for a new mascot. Well, no one came in with any brilliant suggestion so I came up with my own idea. This is the fellow I like. He would truly be an inspiring mascot. I don't really know what we should call him. I'd hate to offend anyone. While on this subject I was wondering why the cheerleaders haven't bothered to have any pep rallies or do a little something extra for the basketball team this season. The hardcourt Tar Heels have been doing an ex cellent job so far. It seems we could show some ap preciation. There has been a lot of enthusiasm at games. That's good. But here it is the day before the game with the nation's number one team and no boost for a good ball club. It's a shame. What are cheerleaders for? Congratulations to the pep band. They have add ed a lot to the spirit of Carmichael and done more in the way of "go get'um Heels" than any other group. Great Society Moves Up A Notch Noticed an interesting picture in the Raleigh Times yesterday. The picture showed 'Him' and five of his daughters. The cutline under the picture read: "President Johnson's beagle, Him, shows off the five female puppies he fathered during a tour of the White House lawn." See, the Great Society is even generous to dogs. Joe Harris Likes To Travel Cheap If you're tired of high-priced travel and still want to see the country you can probably pick up a few tips from Joe Harris. Joe is a UNC graduate stu dent in philosophy who also teaches part-time at N. C. Col lege in Durham. The West Virginia native has been hitch-hiking "longer than he can remember." He once hitch-hiked from West Virginia University to his sis ter's home in New York City with fourteen cents in his poc ket. His first hitch-hiking "tour" outside the United States was a 1957 trip from WVU to Cuba which cost him $23.50. Joe hitch-hiked to Key West and accompanied a car for a used car salesman for his round-trip passage from Key West to Havana. He met an American engi neer on the Cuban freighter and spent his first night in Cuba at the engineer's home on Varadero Beach, Batista's summer hang-out. The next night Joe per suaded a Havana taxi driver to give him an hour tour that night, an hour tour the next morning and drive him to the docks for two dollars. The next day Joe was back at West Virginia University. After graduating from WVU Joe decided to hitch-hike to his brother's home in Colorado. Af a few days in Colorado V: I-' "PI Fnl 1 W ' ii -. f. -- -"T . Joe took off for Alaska with $10 in his pocket. When he reached Fairbanks, Alaska, nine days later he had only five cents left. The first night on the road Joe traveled all night. The next day he caught a ride with a serviceman who took him to Spokane, Wash. He and the serviceman shared expenses on groceries. Joe spent his third night on the road with a couple who lived near the Idaho-Canada border. The next day Joe caught a ride with a RCAF student pi lot who carried him the RCAF Base at Red Deer, Alberta and found him lodging for the night. The student pilot also gave him breakfast the next morning and as many oranges as he could carry in his "trav el bag." Joe's "travel bag" was a typewriter case containing two changes of clothing. On the fifth night Joe slept on two chairs in a hotel lobby near Edmonton, Alberta. Joe spent the sixth, night with a couple of Oregon students at a truck stop. He traded them oranges for beef stew and spent the next night at the Catholic Mary House in White horse. He was stranded in White horse for 24 hours. For the first time, he got discouraged. Old East Dormitory Named National Landmark Old East, the nation's oldest state uni versity building will soon be made North Carolina's newest "National Historic Land mark." The cornerstone of the historic dorm dates back to Oct. 12, 1793, during George Washington's administration. The ancient wonder was constructed of hand made bricks and has eight chimneys. Fireplaces used to be the sole source of heat for the Carolina gentlemen of the eigh teenth and nineteenth centuries. The University didn't provide firewood so every student had to gather his own fuel. Not only was Old East the first state uni versity building but at first it was the Uni versity. The doors of the University opened on January 15 but no students showed. Hinton James from Pender County was the first student. He arrived on Feb. 12 after walking 150 miles from Wilmington "in the worst weather of the season." It took him two weeks to make the trip. More students gradually trickled in and by the end of the first semester there were more than 41 people living in Old East. State Leaders Use WUNC-TV The red carpet of Swain Hall was rolled out this week as some top state political figures came to WUNC-TV studios to record programs to be broad cast in North Carolina. Tuesday night Gov. Dan K. Moore and two of his staff were in the studios of Channel 4 to record a discussion of the Governor's State of the State message, which he will air Monday. Participating in the program with the Governor were his administrative assistant, Char les Dunn and his new press secretary, Jerry Elliott. Lt. Gov. Robert W. Scott, Speaker of the House H. P. "Pat" Taylor, John Sanders, Director, Institute of Govern ment at UNC-CH, and Frank R. Strong, Professor of Law at UNC-CH participated in an hour-long program on reap portionment, video taped Sun day night. Monday all three state of ficials, Moore, Scott, and Tay lor, will appear together when the governor addresses the opening of the extra session of the legislature. This will be carried by WUNC-TV. Weather Worsens NEW YORK (AP) A drenching rain heightened the city's six-day transit crisis yes terday, and sodden millions buffeted about in the longest, roughest rush hour in its his tory. Freezing weather was forcast to add to their woes. Republican Mayor John V. Lindsay reported from city hall and exhorted New York ers, demoralized, weary of an all-out subway and bus strike: "We must sweat it out. I ask you that . . . you keep calm, keep your nerve." Peace talks between the striking AFL-CIO Transport Workers Union and the Trans it Authority moved almost as sluggishly as traffic in the streets during the worst day of the monumental tieup. The talks at least were continu ing, however. Motorists in vast numbers took to the highways as early as 5 a.m. in a vain effort to beat a traffic crush that con tinued until noon only to re sume again in the opposite di rection later in the afternoon. The rain stalled many cars, ONE AND A HALF MILLION envelopes Is a lot of staff. That's how many Heart Fund volunteers from Maverick House have stuffed since Oct. 1. When they started, the Fund was five weeks behind, but with Craige's help, mailing should be caught up by next week.

But the clouds which dramatically silhouetted this tree between Chapel Hill and Durham seem to be hinting about some white flaky stuff. DTH Photo by Ernest Robl and vehicles backed up for miles at Manhattan's bridges and tunnels. Traffic Commissioner Henry Barnes blamed the combina tion of the city's weather and its transit strike for "the long est rush hour it ever had." Commuter rail traffic was somewhat smoother but very heavy, as hundreds of thous ands waited in the rain to board crowded trains spokesman for the Lonp A Is- iana day: . . . . rail road said yester- "We're moving a lot more people than we did Wednesday, or even Tuesday . . .it looks like World War II when gaso line rationing forced people to use the railroads." The strike of 34,400 employes of city-owned bus and subway lines began at 5 a.m. New Year's Day, cutting off transit facilities normally used by five million passengers a day. The first citywide transit tieup ever to hit New York was es timated by business sources to be causing an economic loss of $100 million per day. East or attended classes there went on to achieve fame. Thomas Wolfe attended Dr. Edwin Greenlaw's English 21 class there along with Jonathan Daniels, Legette Blythe, and Paul Green. ' Originally, Old East was known as the North wing of a building that was never built. Plans were changed and the present South building, started in 1797 and com pleted in 1814, became the main building. James Patterson built the building for $5,000. It has been remodeled twice once in the mid 1800's and again in the 1920's. Alexander Jackson Davis, a famous New York architect was called in to remodel the building in the 1800's. He added the third floor and increased the length of the building. .He added the Egyptian north face which characterizes the building. In 1922 Old East was condemned as un safe. By 1925 the insides had been rennovat ed and the building made safe. The porti co on the east side was restored. Strike Mayor Lindsay spent more than 17 hours Wednesday and last night with his three-man mediation panel trying to work out a strike settlement. After ward he reported: "There has been some move ment, nevertheless the gap re mains wide between them. New offers have been made." Lindsay finally broke away from the bargaining table, got three hours sleep and showed up at City Hall in the morning to dispose of piled up munici pal problems. He kept in touch by phone with the continuing peace talks. During the bargaining ses sion, the Transit Authority laid on the table a new money of . fer but its size was not re vealed. There had been an $187 million gap between the union demand and Transit Authority offer for a two-year contract. Union Attorney Ascher Schwartz sounded what might be construed as a note of mild optimism, declaring: "The discussions are pro ceeding constructively and quite actively.' Every week 8-12 boys work for two boors, often going two or three times. Their primary job is envelope stuffing, but they also sort pamphlets and pack boxes for shipment. This center is the nucleus for the Heart Fund in North Carolina. DTH Photo By Ernest RoW. OLD EAST: Committee To Pick Chancellor City Wants Fire Boxes Chapel Hill City Manager Robert Peck said yesterday town and University officials had planned to install fire alarm boxes in all campus buildings but "the plans were bogged down." Peck said town officials had appropriated funds for their share of the project, but Uni versity funds have been de layed. There are only four fire alarm boxes in the town of Chapel Hill, and there is none on campus. All campus fire alarms must be called into the fire depart ment by telephone. Peck said he didn't know whether state and University officials "were arguing about the expense involved or the type of system they would in stall." University financial officials couldn't be reached for com ment on the matter yester day. Peck said the town's part of the expense would be nearly $5,200 to install a new alarm panel in the fire department. He said the University would bear all expense for the instal lation of campus fire boxes. Chapel Hill Fire Chief G. S. Baldwin endorsed the plan to install more boxes. "Anytime you get more box es its going to help us," he said. The closest alarm box is lo cated in North Carolina Me morial Hospital. November and December set records for having the most fires of any months on record. November had 32 fires while 38 were recorded in the last month of the year.
