The Smith's Largest College Newspaper Volume 74, Number 76 CHAPEL HILL NORTH CAROLINA SUNDAY, JANUARY 9, 1966 Founded February 23, 18W. .Duke nn 88dT T il iods in anc ILo with Ed Freakley Dropping Pebbles In The Ocean It was cold outside "Blue Heaven." Inside, well, inside it was rather warm. The heaters belonged to the hands of a group from West Durham and the whistle of a referee. Nothing can be taken away from Duke. They are a great basketball team. Dropping the ball through the hoop for Duke is like tossing pebbles in the ocean. As for the officials, we think they made a few, to say the least, bad calls. It wouldn't have made much difference even if they had been perfect. They missed calls on both sides. Keep your chins up men. Nothing to be ashamed of. You played a fine basketball game. Next time we'll still spot Duke eight points and bet on you. Tijuana Brass And The Charleston Carmichael was packed from bottom to top. If everyone had inhaled at the same time the pla:e would have blown apart. The pep band was decked out in their new blue and white striped sport coats and the music matched their snappy colors. The female cheerleaders provided an amusing show when they attempted to do a version of the Charleston to music from "Tijuana Brass." During halftime football quarterback Danny Tal bott received his plaque as "ACC Coach of the Year." Someone goofed when the plaques were made and substituted "Coach" for "Player." The ACC official who presented the plaque said he was sure Coach Jim Hickey would agree that Tal bott was "ACC Coach of the Year." As a matter of fact we do too." WORLD NEWS BRIEFS 0 m4 PuM Marin And Verga Kill UNC Rallies By GENE RECTOR DTH Sports Editor North Carolina's hustle and determination fell 11 points short Saturday afternoon as the Tar Heels lost 88-77 to the DuKe Blue Devils still the nation's number one ranked team. Although they never re-gained the lead after the first two minutes of play, the Tar Heels kept it close to the delight of 8,500 partisan Carolina fans in Car michael Auditorium. The Blue Devils took the lead 4-3 on a Bob Verga swisher from outside and never lost the upper hand. The Tar Heels did manage to tie the count at 15 points on a Bob Lewis basket with 11:45 to go in the first half but the Tar Heels could never crack the Duke of fensive which repeatedly sprang Verga and Jack Marin LARRY MILLER DRIVES for two of his 27 points against Duke yesterday.

With 8:22 left, Duke had a five point lead at 24-19. Two quick baskets by Ver ga and a free throw by Steve Vacendak was good for a ten point Duke lead at 32-22 with 4:30 left in the half.

Satur day's temperatures failed to reach the expected high and forecasters look for today to be even colder. Frm The Associated Press Transit Strike Continues NEW YORK This city's multimillion-dollar transit strike entered its second week today with 6,500 subway cars and 4,000 buses stil idle, but mediators report some progress toward restarting them. Union chief Michael J. Quill and eight other labor leaders remained imprisoned. Peace talks continued, with mediators stating a goal of restoring transit service by Monday morning but conceding that eight or ten "hard money issues" were unresolved. Assembly Meets Monday RALEIGH House Speaker Pat Taylor said Saturday that he sees -no reason why a special session of the North Carolina Legislature which convenes Monday can't reapportion the House and realign Senate and congressional districts in one week. Bills to reapportion the House and realign the Senate and 11 congressional districts will be introduced soon after the leg islature convenes at noon according to Speaker Taylor. The Legislature has until Jan. 31 to comply with the federal court ruling that they must reapportion the House and realign the- Senate and congressional districts on a population basis. Draft Eyes Students FT. STEWART, Ga. Lt. Gen Lewis B. Hershey, director of the Selective Strvice System said Friday that draft defer ments for college students will become more difficult to obtain because of the increasing manpower needs in Viet Nam. Hershey said that after all available 19-year-olds have been taken they would start calling up college students. The next groups after them would be those who failed their draft exams and married men without children. Dominican Crisis Eases WASHINGTON The Organization of American States met Saturday to consider the Dominican Republic's latest crisis but adjourned when it heard that rebelling military officers had backed down. The military chiefs had seized the government radio station in protest of the diplomatic exile of 34 top officers by President Hector Gracia-Godoy on Thursday. After surrendering the radio station they reaffirmed their opposition to Garcia-Godoy's plan to exile some of the military leaders. De Gaulle Takes Oath PARIS Charles de Gaulle formally took office Saturday for another seven-year term as president of France in a brief and austere ceremony in the Elysee Palace yesterday. The ceremony a striking contrast to presidential inaugu rations in America lasted only seven minutes and was wit nessed by less than 50 persons. :: j. m -1 I - . x- t - - - - . . t i-w; : - .--.-" v "s c'-' ' j YES, THIS is the Carolina campus; and this hardy stu dent is strolling along without a coat. But that was Fri day, before the heat went off. This morning, with a low in the neighborhood of 12 (twelve) predicted, overcoats were the uniform of the day.

One to two inches of snow whitened much of New York state and Central New Eng land Saturday. Some Carolina students gratefully feel the recent rains and low temperatures have tended to reduce the "aroma" of the fertilizer re cently added to campus shrubbery. Dr. William S. Wells, chair man of the advisory commit tee to find a replacement for Chancellor Paul F. Sharp, said his committee discussed no names at their first meeting yesterday. "I'm not at liberty to say what the committee discuss ed," he added. "We're under a 'bond of agreement,' the way any committee wdrks. 'When and if the committee makes a report, it will go to President Friday first." Friday had no contin ent on the meeting. Wells would not say wheth er emphasis on finding a re placement would be placed at UNC or out of state. ("We're primarily interested in finding the best man for the job," he said. "I hope we can make our recommendations by I this spring. We're going to stay with it and work as hard as we can." The next committee meet ing is scheduled to tomorrow. Sharp, chancellor here since September, 1964, submitted his resignation Dec. 29 to become president of Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa. He came here from the pres idency of Hiram College in Ohio. f His resignation was to have become effective in July, but the trustees changed the date to Feb. 15. He will takev office at Drake on March 1. Friday named Dr. J. Carlyle Sitterson acting chancellor Ust Monday. Sitterson, now vice chancellor here, will assume his duties Feb. 16. As vice chancellor he has been responsible for academic and health affairs. Carolina 31. Duke 34. Then it was Duke's turn to turn on the steam as the Blue Devils closed the half with a rally of their own outscor ing the Tar Heels eight to two for a 43-33 half-time lead. But the Tar Heels were not ready to roll-over for the Blue Devils. A second half rally built around a pressing, ha rassing defense cut the nine point Duke half-time lead to three points 46-43 with 16:50 to play. Minutes later the Duke lead was cut to two as Lewis stole a stray Duke pass, fired to Larry MUler under the bas ket who layed it in 48-46 in favor of Duke with 15:50 to go. But that two point margin was the closest the Tar Heels could come. Verga and Marin began their long-range bomb ing and the skinny Duke lead began to increase. With 10:25 to play, the Duke lead was seven at 62-55. With 8:20 left, a Verga shot made the score 68-59 in favor of the Blue Devils. The largest Duke lead of the evening came with three min utes to go as Jack Marin con nected on a free throw for an 82-68 lead. The Tar Heels did cut that margin to eight with 1:45 to go, but the Devils were home free. In the scoring department, Bob Verga, with 11 of 16 from the floor and seven of seven from the free throw line for 29 points, paced the Blue Dev ils. Jack Marin, with 11 of 17 from the floor and one of two from the line, placed second to Verga with 23 points. Sophomore Mike Lewis was the other Blue Devil in double figures with 11 points. Sophomore Larry Miller paced the Tar Heel offensive hitting 11 of 19 from the floor and five of nine from the free throw line for 27 points. I Sky -Diving Coed Bored By Conventional Pastimes UNC student Joseph Tillot son is helping organize the pa pers of the late Herbert Bon ner, the First District con gressman who donated them to the UNC Library. The collection, which in cludes letters from five U. S. Presidents, fills 24 filing cabi nets and 75 boxes. "Bonner knew Truman or worked with him in legisla tion they were both interested in," Tillotson said. "Our collection starts in 1940 and continues through part of 1965. "It's fairly complete," he said, "although we've had to send five scrapbooks with a lot of useful information back to Bonner's Washington office." The files include letters from Walt Disney and movie pro ducer Cecil B. DeMille con gratulating Bonner for his leg islative work. "The Disney and DeMille letters are not personal," Til lotson said. Disney's letter is decorated with cartoon pictures. During his career, Bonner also corresponded with Pres idents Eisenhower, Kennedy and Johnson. Tillotson, of Denton, noted that he has been impressed with frank, full answers Bon ner sent to all who wrote him. Bonner also worked on a number of other house com mittees, including the House Un-American Activities Com mittee, now investigating the Ku Klux Klan. Tillotson, who spends about 15 hours a week arranging the papers, estimates that the re mainder of the school year will be required to complete the classification. Nicholson Hits Segregationist Carolina Forum Chairman George Nicholson criticized Dr. W. C. George, the segre gationist UNC professor, for saying the forum largely ig nores "conservative" racial views. "If anything," Nicholson said yesterday, "the balance has been tilted recently in fa vor of the segregationists, though we try to invite both liberals and conservatives. Last year the Forum had Strom Thurmond, "and before that we had Ross Barnett," former Mississippi governor, he said. Nicholson said the Forum has sought George Wallace, former Mississippi governor, Texas Senator Tower (Repub lican) and Gov. Faubus, of Arkansas. "Back in 1952, or '53 we even sponsored a Ku Klux Klan grand dragon, he said. By BOB HARRIS DTH Staff Writer "I closed my eyes a&d push ed off. The wind caijght me and whipped me ' -iolently around in the air. That's the last thing I remember. . ." This is Suzanne Me irns de scribing her first parachute jump. Since then her yen for the unconventional has led her to make 43 more. Suzanne, a senior English major at UNC, made per first jump during her freshman year in college. She and her jumpmaster had to form their own club (the "Omega Sky divers" in Lexington) because she was not allowed to use military facilities. "1 was getting bore5 with school and tension buUt up so much during the wek that jumping on the weekends gave me a great release from ten sion," she said. "I did it main ly for fim and excitement." The San Francisco native ad mits that her younger brother, a civilian pilot, also influ enced her decision. "He start ed skydiving. I decided that if he- was eoinz to do it. I was too," she added. , On her initial jump Suzanne ' had packed her own chute and r "had her doubts as to whether ; it would open." r She has had only one acci- 5 dent in her skydiving career. iw She landed five miles from the target in an apple orchard and fell out of a tree on her head, suffering a mild concussion. Suzanne's interest are now going in other directions. Last summer she became interest ed glider flying. Her "soar ing" was short-lived, however. She hit a tree top with her glider and broke off one of its wings. "I'm not as wild and thrill seeking as I used to be," she said. "I've been away from skydiving so long that I get nervous just thinking about it." Suzanne Mearns
