BALTIMORE, MD., (AP)
A Baltimore woman, who be
lieved her life was doomed by
a hex, told her doctors at Ci
ty Hospital here she would die
within three days.
Two days later, she was
dead.
The woman told her doctors
that she was born in the Oke
fenokee Swamp area of Flori
da, one of three children de
livered by a midwife on Fri
day the 13th.
According to the woman's
story, the midwife told the ba
bies' mothers that the three
were hexed and the first would
die before her sixteenth birth
day, the second before her
twenty-first birthday and the
third before her twenty-third
birthday.
Doctors said the patient told
them the first girl was killed
in an automobile accident the
day before her sixteenth birth
day. The second girl, the woman
told her doctors, was afraid of
the prophecy. On her twenty
first birthday, she went out
with a friend to celebrate the
end of the hex and was killed
by a stray bullet as she en
tered a tavern.
Doctors said the patient, who
was the third girl, "firmly be
lieved she was doomed." They
said she was convinced she
would die before her twenty
third birthday.
- She -died-the day before the--birthday,
after an episode of
"severe apprehension and pro
fuse sweating," doctors report
ed. Doctors said an autopsy
showed several serious physi
ological disorders, but they
agreed that her terror may
have hastened her death.
The immediate cause of
death was cited as primary
pulmonary hypertension, which
is described by one doctor as
a "fairly rare vascular disor
der in the lungs." The doctor
said that not much is under
stood about the disease.
Dr. John C. Harvey, a pro
fessor of medicine at Johns
Hopkins Medical School here,
presented the case to some
200 medical students at a clini
cal pathology conference yes
terday. -
He pointed out that eminent
physicians have demonstrated
that a patient's state of mind
can be translated by the body
into physiological disorders.
Dr. Harvey studied native
voodoo practices while on a
teaching assignment in Niger
He said the woman's case had
all the elements of voodoo
deaths in Africa.

Thirty Canadian students
participating in the Toronto
Exchange arrived by bus in
Morehead Planetarium park
ing lot at 8:00 last night.
They were met by the thir
ty students selected to go to
Toronto from UNO during se
mester break in January.
The Canadians left Toronto
at 8 p.m. Wednesday night.
After their arrival UNC ex
change members took them
out for pizzas for a "get ac
quainted" session. Each UNC
member was assigned one
Toronto student to live in his
or her dorm, fraternity, or
sorority house during their
stay in Chapel Hill.
. Today the Canadians will
attend morning classes with
their host or hostess. UNC
members selected "ten most
interesting" professors in vari
ous departments whose classes

sit for a sampling of acade
mic life at Chapel Hill.
The Exchange will have
lunch at various fraternities
on campus.
Exchange members will have

Dr. Harvey said there is no
doubt that people in Africa die
as a result of voodoo curses.
Some of them, he said, simply
stop eating when they believe
death is near.
Dr. John K. Boitnott, who
joined Dr. Harvey in present
ing the case, said it was cho
sen because of the interesting
aspect of her belief in the hex.
"We had hoped to start the
students thinking about the
psychological aspect of a pa
tient. This was an extreme and
dramatic case to point it out,"
Dr. Boitnott said.
Both doctors said that they
have been unable to check the
women's story to see if it was
correct.

Police Say
All Is Quiet
For Weekend
By TERRY G1NGRAS
Special To The DTH
"No, we won't make any
special preparations for Duke
Weekend," said Chapel Hill
Police Chief W. D. Blake.
"We'll just treat it like any
other football weekend."
He doesn't foresee any un
usual problems this weekend.
"We'll just have our usual
number of men out ready for
trouble."
The Chapel Hill police force
has 31 men. "That includes
specialists, traffic control of
ficers and plainclothes deteo
tives. We'll have them all in
uniform."
The police department
doesn't put any extra men on
duty for football weekends.
"What we do is this ... we
have the men who usually
work the 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. shift.
On football weekends they
stay on with the 3 p.m. to 11
p.m. shift.
They might not stay on du
ty for the whole shift, it de
pends on the situation."
, Chief Blake claims that "we
always get a call" about fra
ternity parties.. "There's al
ways a compaint about noise.
We just tell them to keep the
noise down or we'll have to
come back and break up the
party."
The town police try to give
inebriated students as much
of a chance as they can.
"We just ask them to em
ty their bottles or cans and
let them go."
The police are not just con
cerned with fraternity parties.
"We send plainsclothesmen out
to patrol places like the Tem
po or the Shack. They just
walk through and nobody no
tices them. This is not a re
gular patrol but they are in
spected "almost every week
end to see that things are
right."
Chief Blake has been on the
Chapel Hill police force for 22
years, the last eight as chief.
Kenan Buys Cannon
UNC Geis k Gun
By STEVE KNOWLTON
DTH Staff Writer
Carolina has finally got a
cannon to fire at football
games.
After three months of plan-
ning, Kenan Residence College
has bought and had approved
the gun, which "hopefully will
be ready for use at the Duke
game Saturday," Dave McFad- :
den, Kenan's governor said
yesterday.
Since the piece was approv
ed for use only Wednesday,
practice firings and the train
ing of students to fire it will
have to be done today.
Lenny Tubbs, Projects Chair
man of Kenan, ordered the
cannon from a firm in Mass
achusetts; which made the 18th
century replica to order.
Then the trouble came.
When the weapon arrived
last week, it was learned that
there was a problem of uni
versity policy against having
a cannon.
Working with Deans Long
and Schroeder, McFadden and
Tubbs got the problems ironed
out and administrators approv
ed the use of the gun, McFad
den said.
A long list of rules and re
gulations was drawn up to
avoid the risk of losing the
piece:
Meteors Fizzle
Panty Raids, Too
By ERNEST H. ROBL
DTH Staff Writer
While a meteor shower
billed as the most spectacular
sky show in more than 100
years fizzled out overhead,
Carolina and N. C. State men
early Thursday tended to more
earthy matters.
In both Chapel Hill and Ra
leigh, star gazers and observ
ers of heavenly bodies staged
"meteor marches" which
nearly turned into panty raids.
Some 400 Carolina gentlemen
Warming up for the big
weekend ahead chanted and
yelled in front of Spencer and
Winston women's dorms.
In the process, they almost
overturned a truck belonging
to the Daily Tar Heel and driv
en by DTH Photographer Mike
McGowan.
"We want panties," the
crowd yelled.
"Lights on; shades up," they
chanted while frantic house
mothers at Spencer and Win
ston ran around giving exactly .
the opposite instructions.
When McGowan arrived on
the scene after being attracted
by. the noise, the crowd con
verged on the DTH truck and
began rocking it.
It was all over by about 3
a.m.
In Raleigh, some 200 N. C.
State men were chased from
the St. Mary's College cam
pus by radio dispatched po
lice cars.

VVHILE NOT in use, the can
non is to be stored in the Na
val Armory.
A GUN CREW of two
NROTC Students will be in
charge of firing the cannon.
Only they will be allowed to
use it.
THE GUN IS to be fired
only during home football
games and only in Kenan Sta-'
dium. It must be returned to
the Armory immediately after
the game.
A POLICE officer must be
nearby at all times while the
cannon is out of storage. The
gun crew must not leave their
battle stations at any time.
THE GUN WILL be re
moved from the campus if
any of the rules are violated.
The weapon has purposes ot
her than to promote spirit at
the ball games.
"Our cannon, will give an
identification to Kenan Col
lege," McFadden said, "much
like Craige's gong.
"Also, the cheerleaders were
considering the purchase of a
similar piece, and this will
save them the expense.
"South Campus residence
colleges have been getting all
the publicity. It's time that
someone else received a lit
tle," he said.
The men explained they
were only holding a march in
honor of the annual Leonid Me
teor Shower.

New Election Appeal.
.Refected By Council
By LYTT STAMPS
DTH Staff Writer
The Constitutional Council
late Wednesday night denied
the appeal of Alan Albright
for a new freshman class el
ection. The ruling, which came af
ter five and a half hours of
debate, said that the election
of Bland Simpson as president
is valid.
Albright had protested on
grounds of "certain unexplain
able inconsitencies in the tal
lying and counting proce
dures." His protest came after the
elections board said he had
won the contest by 300 votes
on the night of Tuesday, Nov.
8, but on Wednesday Nov. 9,
pronounced Simpson winner
by 34 votes.
The council ruled that only
evidence to show tallying and
counting errors could be in
troduced by Albright's coun
sellors, Tom Manley and Noel
Dunivant.
They would not accept as
evidence an affidavit from six
East Granville freshmen who
said they voted for Albright.
The official vote totals of the
elections board showed three
votes for Albright.
Manley said he could prove
a similar situation in Winston.
Most of the hearing was de
voted to two motions one
by the defense not to hear
the protest and the other by
the plaintiff to postpone the
hearing.
