IPtffi Founded February 23, 1893. Note: The following story is a log written by Steve Lail. a journalism major from Hickory, while he spent the night in jail with permission of the Chapel Hill Police Department: By STEVE LAIL Special to the DTH Sunday night I was a jailbird in the Chapel Hill City Jail and things went mighty slow for me. Here's what happened. 7:45 p.m.-Just signed in. A young officer with crew cut brought me downstairs. Didn't like the way he lock ed the door. He smiled that helps some. 8 p.m. There's three col ored men next door. They seem awfully happy. I start ed whistling and they stop ped talking. Hope I'm not ivith Ed Ffeakley Now, Maybe You'll Study The Selective Service may soon be drafing you if your Q.P. average falls into the bottom fourth of your class. Seniors should have better than a 2.041 quality point average, juniors should rank abouve a 1.897 av erage, and the sophomore needs better than a 1.743 av erage. Freshmen rank at a low of 1.647. These are last years top figures in the bottom fourth of the classes.-- Seniors will be effected most because the draft will begin with them and work down to the freshmen if necessary. It is no longer just a matter of avoiding the flunk out. You must now avoid the draft before the flunk out. There must be a better way to give students the incentive to make good grades, but for the time being this might do the trick. Good luck on your exams, boys.

According to a 1940 town ordinance, "all dogs in the town of Chapel Hill shall be confined and shall not be permitted on the streets, sidewalks, or in any public place in the town of Chapel Hill, except when held by a leash." The law also says that any police officer has the right to shoot or impound any stray dog. In 1871 the town passed an ordinance against hot rodders who "rode a horse through the streets at an unusually rapid speed." As late as 1942 a law was passed saying "no per son shall ride a horse or horses on the sidewalks." The laws are still on the books, but the dogs haven't stopped roaming the streets. Tate Rogers Gnash's 'Nut Ward' Maybe this poet who calls himself "Oddman Gnash" is trying to mock Ogden Nash, or maybe the masterpiece below was written by Nash himself (it's in his style). All we know is the poem's author doesn't think too highly of the Air Force Academy. Blue Zoo! Blue Zoo! How I love you! How I hate you! All you are is something gnu ! Your scholarship? Phoo! Aluminum U! Aluminum U! Just what the hell are you? All you are is something gnu! The Disneyland of the American U! Tin Tent! Tin Tent! Yer holy glory's came and went! Yet Honor System's broke and bent! To the nut ward you should be sent. Alas, We're Not Alone Namelessness at this large university isn't limited just to IBM-plagued students. Buildings can also be anonymous. Journalism student Mickey Henkel discovered re cently that Whitehead Hall once stood 26 years without a sign on it. "We sometimes can't see the forest for the trees since we work so closely with these buildings," re marked Russel Perry of the Residence Hall Office. 4 A Fellow Can Really disturbing them.

"Premieres Wednesday, January 12, at 7:30 p.m. Eas tern Standard Time," the an nouncer gushed excitedly. Millions of weary television viewers wiped the numbing luminous mist from their eyes last week and turned to their companions in front of "the tube." "What, are they kidding us?" "It's gotta be a joke!" No, friends, it's not a joke. Batman, "whose very name strikes fear into the hearts of villanious villains every where," has leaped from the gaudy pages of "Code Appro ved" comic books onto the gaudy face of the television screen. According to the ABC press releases, Batman and his youthful companion Robin will vanquish assorted heavies such as "The Riddler," "The Pen guin," "The Joker," "Mr. Freeze" and "Zelda the Great" for a half an hour, two days a week. Batman, who in private life is actually multi-millionaire Bruce Wayne, has dedicated his life to combating crimi als and easing the duties of Gotham's Police Commission er Gordon. He makes his television de but complete with that "atom powered, parachute - braked, multi-weaponed four - wheeled arsenal, the Batmobile." Television's Batman will be played by Adam West.

Robin is played by Burt Ward, a pretty young fellow who sadly bears out Jules Feif fer's recent observation in "Playboy" that some psycho logists classify the relationship between Batman and Robin as homosexual. UNC Student Dies In Car A 22-year-old University so phomore died Sunday after noon of injuries received in a one-car crash between Smith field and Princeton just off US-70. Roy Stewart Narron, of Sel ma died at 4 p.m., two hours after the accident, in Selma's Johnston Memorial Hospital. Narron is the fourth Caro lina student to die following an auto accident since school opened in September. According to State Trooper J. P. Carter, who invesitgat ed the accident, the car in which Narron was riding was driven by Lin wood Earl Ward, 19 also of Selma. Trooper Carter said the car veered off to the right on a curve on a rural road eight miles east of Smithfield. He said the car overturned at lease once and landed in a ditch. Ward, and two other passen gers, both of Selma, Robert Eli Kennedy, 19, and Jerry F. Ward, 15, and brother of the driver, were listed in fair condition yesterday in John ston Memorial Hospital.

But we all love them, pla tonically, of course, and it will be good to see them on tele vision in spite of their faults. With cries of "gleeps!" and "holy barracuda," these two invincible defenders of the right should provide the cat harsis millions of frustrated Americans are seeking in a modern world. Linwood Ward was pinnef in the ditch under the car for almost an hour. Narron, according to Cart er, was riding in the back seat of the 1955 model car when the accident occured. Linwood Ward, driver of the car, was indicted yesterday for manslaughter. He will appear in Selma Recorder's Court.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The White House disclosed yester day for the first time since President Johnson launched his current peace offensive that there has been a direct U.S. contact with the govern ment of North Viet Nam. Beyond stating this, Press Secretary Bill D. Moyers de clined to lift the secrecy which has blanketed U. S. diplomat ic communications in John son's seach for a path to a negotiated peace in South Viet Nam. The U. S. peace campaign, accompanied by a halt in the bombing of North Viet Nam, began at Christmas time. The disclosure of direct con tact came at an afternoon White House news briefing when Moyers was asked about three Americans who made an unauthorized trip to Hanoi and returned to report there had been no contact between the North Vietnamese and Ameri can governments. "They are incompletely in formed," Moyers said. Asked if that meant there has been direct contact with Hanoi, Moyers replied: "That's a safe deduction." It was understood that the U.S. North Vietnamese con tact was made at an official level sometime ago. Just how and where was not announ ced. Welch Coming To UNC Forum John Birch Society founder Robert Welch will speak to UNC students here on either March 11 or 13, according to . Carolina Forum Chairman George Nicholson III. Welch will be the third na tionally prominent figure to speak on campus under the sponsorship of the Forum this year. Other Forum speakers were U. S. House of Representatives majority Whip Hale Boggs CD La.) and U. S. Representative Charles Weltner (D-Ga.). The 66 - year - old retired fudge maker and professional anti - communist graduated Phi Beta Kappa from UNC in 1916. Welch was a member of the Dialectic Senate as a student here. He spent a year at the Naval Academy and two years at Harvard Law School before go ing into business. He led his class at both institutions be fore dropping out.

Between 50 and 60 men are needed to fill openings next fall as College Masters, Head Resident Advisors and Floor Advisors.

Head Resident Advisors will resume responsibility for all activities within the house. Head Resident Advisors should also hold a baccalaureate de gree. Floor Advisors are responsi ble for the residents of the floor to which they are assign ed. Counseling freshmen and other students is part of a Floor Advisor's job. No de gree is required of a Floor U And as far as could be as certained from Johnson Ad ministration sources tonight, Hanoi was yet to indicate in any way a willingness to start negotiations on a Viet Nam settlement. The same lack of a favor able response so far had been previously reported after U.S. efforts through third parties to persuade North Viet Nam to come to the conference table. However, despite harsh pub lic accusations against the United States which continu ed to emanate from Commun ist capitals today the White House was keeping the door open for negotiations. U. S. sources declined to take the Communists' public state ments as final and conclusive rejection of the idea of negotiations. India 9s Shastri Dies From Heart Attack TASHKENT, U.S.S.R. (AP) India's Prime Minister Lai Bahadur Shastri died yester day, a few hours after he sign ed a limited agreement with Pakistan to pull back their op posing forces. He was 61.

Mike Mansfield, D -Mont., the Senate majority leader, said "All I can say is it is a very hopeful sign, and it is the first sign cf contact with Hanoi." Mansfield told a reporter he had had no official word on the development "but it speaks well for the intensive efforts made by President Johnson not only over the past two weeks, but over the last eight months." Sen. George D. Aiken, R Vt., who accompanied Mans field on a recent fact - finding trip to South Viet Nam, said he knew nothing of the con tact, but commented: "Even if I did, I wouldn't want to say anything about it and thus complicate the prospect of further contacts.

The Elections Board has sug gested a new system of voting for this spring which will em ploy the use of IBM cards to prevent mistakes in counting and marking ballots. The committee also approv ed a bill to require each stud ent voter to put his name, ID number and time of vote on a list in addition to filling out his ballot and signing the pledge. The committee also outlined schedule of speeches of t h e big four candidates at the separate residence colleges for the spring elections. Chairmen Jim Little of the SP and Neil Thomas of the UP endorsed the committee's plan to classify the Residence Halls into nine groups to hear the addresses of candidates for the offices of president, vice president, secretary, and trea surer of the student body. These meetings will be an nounced at least a week ahead of time to the dorm residents and the speeches of the can didates will be limited to al low for a long question and answer period afterwards. The committee also decided on rules for the practices of campaigns on campus which have caused trouble between the wrties in the past. The tearing down of posters is an honor code violation which has been lightly regard ed in previous elections. 11 'The only way to solve this problem is for the party lead- ers to police their own consti tuents and specifically tell all party supporters that there are to be no posters torn down. "If one of the party mem bers is seen doing this the party will tell him that bis services are no longer desired by the party.", suggested for mer UP legislative floor lead er Don Carson. "This system has worked well in the past within our party, and if both parties agree to do this the problem may be solved." he said. 'i
