Steve and three other div UNC Aquaholics Scrounge Cold. Muddy Lake Bottom By BOB HARRIS DTH Staff Writer Divers from LWC's Aquaholics Club to day successfully retrieved an extension in take from beneath the 42 degree waters of University Lake. This was their fifth attempt to recover the intake which had been buried in the mud under 30 feet of water since last March. The intake is an angular tube about five feet long and two feet wide, weighing about 100 pounds. It is used to take in top water from the community's water supply, thus avoiding the mud, silt and mineral deposits on the lake's bottom. J. E. Moore, lake warden, said the miss ing intake had caused no problems since it had been replaced immediately by a sub stitute. The intake is needed mostly in the spring when rains and rising water muddies the reservoir. Clad in black, hooded, wet suits, the divers looked remarkably like medieval ex ecutioners. With their 45 pounds of equip ment they submerged in the dark, wind swept water, leaving only bubbles and churning froth where they had been.

Whv Of Course The advertisements for The Loved One were more honest th?n the undertakers that the movie satirized. Nobody at the Carolina Theater Friday night felt misled by the publicity ballyhooing it a; "The Motion Picture Wiih Something to Ofiend Everyone." The tiim fulfilled the promise beautifully. It ridiculed God knows what besides the funeral industry including God. Repulsion being The New Art Form, many persons ask ed the departing audience The Question: "Were you offended?" "Yes." v;;s the unnnimous reply. "It's sacrilegious and an insult to one? country.' some body declared. He said he was very inspired. The crowd happily grinned. They filed into the building, taking the place of the persons leaving. The film opened with scenes of ugly Los Angeles while an off-camera chorus solemnly intoned: "A-mer-i-ca the beau tiful." One person added to the irony by saluting the movie screen. "Here's the slumber room." said a voice on the sound track. Among the room's attractions were busty funeral par lor employes whose measurements led one Carolina Gen tleman to be a Carolina Gentleman by yelling: "Aw riiii .te! The girls lay in caskets. The AFROTC members of the audience probably got a bit peeved at seeing Air Force officers jump into the coffins to be hugged. Mainly because they couldn't join the men in the film. As for the ministers in the theater I'll bet they reacted somewhat differently on watching their cinematic colleagues try to rape one of the brunette employees. If any architects attend the film, they probably didn't like scenes of houses ready to fall off cliffs. Scientists? 1 guess they did not enjoy the way a young rocket expert yelled "Blast-off:" while "a modified Atlas mis sile" hurled a "Loved One"' trn! is. a corpse into space. The cemetery operators pbnned to use rockets to dispose of the bodies so theycould be dug up to make room for "a senior citizens' home" uhxh would be more profitable "because of the hh tirn-over rate."

DTH Photo bv Bob Harris son. Ernie Patterson and Tommy Rhodes were supposed to have been kept warm by their wet suits, but their blue faces told a different story. Parker Hudson, club president, de scribed what it is like beneath the surface of University Lake: "It's cold. It's dark. It's a dark like you've never seen." The Aquaholics Club is presently com posed of 20 members, including one coed. Seven more coeds are joining when the club starts a new training cycle on March 7. This is the last date new members will be permitted to join this year. On March 6 the Aquaholics will partic ipate in a "Starfish Derby" near Morehead City. Scuba divers from all over the state will participate. They also have tentative plans for a "treasure hunt" off the North Carolina coast later this spring, looking for sunken ships. Many of the club members have had considerable experience diving for sunken ships. Tommy Rhodes once worked as a sal vage diver off the Florida Keys. Both Parker Hudson and Steve Price are ac complished underwater photographers. 11 m 1 ii ULuyJI Freshman Coed Found Innocent Of Manslaughter Kathlen Lafferty, 17, fresh man from Concord, was freed Friday on a manslaughter charge in the death of James Hammett, 21, also of Concord. Recorder's Court Judge L. J. Phipps found no prob able cause on the charge and acquitted Miss Lafferty on a reckless driving charge grow ing out of the highway acci dent the night of Dec. 11. State Trooper T. J. Hines said Miss Lafferty was driv ing a car belonging to Ham mett when it ran into the rear of another vehicle on N. C. 86 about a mile north of Chapel Hill. Hammett, who was rid ing in the front seat, died in Memorial Hospital the next morning of head injuries. Where By DAVID ROTHMAN DTH Staff Writer Somebody goofed. Yesterday four signs were stuck in flowerpots outside Phillips Hall on the side fac ing V enable, They said: "Please leave these flowers for others to en joy." The trouble is that the pots contained no flowers. "The whole area's going to be fixed up when they get the money," said Sterling A. Stoudemire, chairman of the Buildings and Grounds Com mittee. He said the spot will event uallv be filled with greenery. The pots have been empty since the building was com pleted in 1959.

Students By DAVID ROTHMAN DTH Staff Writer A mock trial jury ruled Friday night that Wendy Farer and Tern.' Gregory did not assassinate Clu Clucks Clown Grand Gizard Frank Bridges. After deliberating 40 minutes, the jury unanimously found the defendants innocent of first degree murder. Defense attorneys Bob Thompson, Stuart Saunders, George Carson and Terry Vann were elated. The State claimed Gregory owned the gun that killed Bridges. It also introduced as circumstantial evi dence the discovery by police of a gun in Miss Farer's apartment three days after the killing. The defendants had allegedly threatened Bridges by saying he must be "got rid of one way or another." State attorneys Charles Woerner, Pat Mor gan, Martin Lancaster and Jim Chandler said THE PROSECUTOR for the state questions a witness during the mock trial of two North Carolina students held Friday night.

Prizes include an automo bile, trip to Europe, ten shares of stock and a $500 wardrobe of the winner's choice. The winner will be selected in June. One college girl from each of the 50 states will make Have The Flowers Gone? Campus Security Chief Ar thur Beaumont declared: "I can't ever figure why they've left holes that size in the pots. Somebody might trip and fall down. 'Tor a while," said Beau mont, 4twe had the holes plug ged up with plywood. "But the clean-up crew must have been too efficient. They perhaps assumed a contract or left the wood there. "The men follow instruc tions," he said. "They pick up everything." Beaumont says the plywood probably isn't necessary since very few people use the back stairs of Phillips at night. Meanwhile, the professors and students of the Physics Department are waiting the day when the entire area will spring forth with plants and the flowerpots will contain flowers instead of signs. One student comments, how ever: "I'd rather see placards ask ing that flowers be put into their pots than see some sug gesting that American troops go out of Viet Nam." arolma avor By GLENN L.

He will be able to represent the president and make policy statements whereas this has not been possible in the past where the president and vice Innocent that this evidence, together with testimony that Gregory was a "crack shot." indicated the defendants' guilt. The defense claimed the prosecution had not even established a case deserving jury deliberation. The defendants insisted they were attend ing a movie at the time of the shooting. The ticket clerk who said he sold them tickets corroborated their story. Gregory contested prosecution witness Nor wood Boyd's testimony that the murder gun (.243 calibre Winchester with a scope sight), was in Gregory's possession the evening of the slaving. He said the weapon he had then was a .22 caliber with which he was to show Miss Farer how to shoot rabbits the next day. Miss Farer testified that many persons had access to her apartment and could have used the gun and returned it without her knowledge.

"Student Government is to get something done," Wilson said, "so conflict can't exist among the executive of ficers." A bill proposing a similar constitutional amendment was introduced last year. 'The SP endorsed the bill," Wilson said, "but the UP legislators ECC Head Sees Many Alternative: By ERNEST ROBL DTH Staff Writer The president of East Caro lina College Leo W. Jenkins said yesterday the possiblity of merging his school into the Consolidated University was only one of several alterna tives being considered in ex panding the college into a uni versity. Jenkins refused to elabor ate on statements earlier in the week on the actual possi bility of bringing ECC into the Consolidated University. He would not say whether he had changed his mind about attempting to make ECC an independent university, a con cept he has strongly backed in the past. Jenkins said he would rather not discuss the matter over the telephone. Only Tuesday, speaking in a Raleigh TV in terview, Jenkins, had said that ECC "is functioning as a uni versity without the name." Jenkins issued a statement Friday saying that he had been instructed by his board of trustees to "explore and ex pound on the idea of East Car olina becoming a university." The programs to be spon sored bv the Interfaith Coun cil, will 'be on "The Philosophy of Teilhard De Chardin," "Conversations on My t h," 'Tansled World A discussion of Our Changing Society," "The Theology of Paul Til lich." "The Community of CeleDration," "A Kierkegaard Seminar," "The Thought of Dietrich Bonhoeffer," and "A Dialoeue on Student Freedom and University Authority." Heart Group Officer Henry Skinner, a sophomore from Wilson, was appointed as officer at large of Lhe Orange County Heart Association Fri day. This is the first time a stu dent has been so recognized, according to Dr. Oliver K. Cornweli, president of the as sociaion. Frosh Cordinator Interviews for Freshman Co ordinator will be held on Mon day, Wednesday, and Friday, according to Carol Ann Shaf fer, present Freshman Coordi nator. The coordinator is appoint ed by the Women's Residence Council and holds office for one year. Junior and senior women are eligible. The freshman coordinator is a member of the Orientation Committee and plans special orientation program for fresh men women. During the rest of the year she works with the WRC in making and changing rules for freshmen women. The interviews will be held in Roland Parker n in Gra ham Memorial on Monday from 5-6 p.m., on Wednesday from 3:30-5 p.m. and on Fri day from 2-5 p.m. Applications eaders voted against it." The bill did not get the necessary 2-3 ma jority for passage. Wilson and Don Carson co sponsored the bill in the Stu dent Legislature this year and after it was endorsed by most student body officials, was passed in the legislature. "in the past the bill has been defeated purely for po litical reasons." Wilson said. "Each party thought the oth er party may get the upper hand if the constitution was changed." "But both parties have agreed that political reasons be put aside in this issue and vote in the interest of the Student Government and the Student Body," Wilson said. Student Body President Paul Dickson pointed out that the past five student body presi dents have endorsed the pro posed change in the consti tution. Three of the past five administrations have had the president and vice president from opposing parties. "Administrations in these years have not been as smooth or harmonious as when there were people from the same party holding the offices of the president and vice presi dent," Dickson said. He said that during cam paigns animosity toward op posing candidates and parties usually develops. "This is to be expected in terms of de bate and when you're com peting against a man, you don't usually work with him as well as a man who is work ing with you. The parties, when they select a slate of candidates, try to pick two people who are compatable in terms of ability to work to gether and in terms of knowl edge of student government. "Running a student govern ment is just like running any thing else," Dickson said. "It takes teamwork. "When you get two people in that office you want them to accomplish as much as possible in the short one year they are in office," he said. "If" they have worked togeth er in the past and campaign ed together, it's a sure thing they, are going to work better together in the office. may be picked up at the GM information desk.
