U.:i.C. Library Serials Dept. Box 870 SaMd? Binds? -Surf, By HUNTER GEORGE DTH Staff Writer DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - College Crud, the man said. College Crud. That's how a Fort Lauterdale ctty official described thousands of sun-seeking collegians who invaded Florida last week for spring vacation. The official told a group of civic club members that it was the "college crud" that was responsible for three days of rock, fruit and beer-bottle throwing and other violent distur bances. Nine times he used the term. Almost immediately the speech was reported in most of the news media and was broadcast across Florida. It was accompanied by an emphatic apology for the official's action by the mayor and other leading citizens of Fort Lauderdale. No one denied that there had been riots Easter weekend. No one denied that there had been arrests. But they were reluctant to blame it on the college students. Business Managers Applications for the position of Business Manager of t h e DTH, YACK, CAROLINA HANDBOOK, or CAROLINA QUARTERLY should be made at the Publications Board Of fice in Graham Memorial be fore April 11. Each candidate must submit two letters of recommendation. Volume 74, Number 132 Gradl Killed; In Vie' U. S. Marine Lt. Richard S.

But we (the collegians) didn't start 'em," said a New York student who had driven straight through from Long Island in a Volkswagon with two surf boards on the roof. He said he and his buddy were on the corner where, all the trouble began. He said it was local high school students and some Fort Lauderdale men who were responsible. His observation was backed up by later reports in the press. But if there was trouble in Fort Lauderdale, Daytona Beach was spared any such disturbance. On Holy Saturday, a few incidents of beer-bottle throwing were reported, and city police prevented college students who were pouring in every hour from stopping. Motel owners were refusing rooms to students. They were afraid the Fort Lauderdale trouble (which received front page, banner-headline treatment in the Daytona Beach news paper) would hit Daytona. But it didn't. Nothing happened after these incidents.

J- o 'I Was Laughing About Cassius Being Drafted Until I Got Home Editor's Note: The following story appeared in the March 31 Charlotte News. The writ er, Ed Freakley, is a former staff member of the Daily Tar Heel and a 1966 journa lism graduate of this univer sity. t - By ED FREAKLEY News Staff Writer I was laughing on the way home from work. The radio said the draft had finally got ten Cassius. Pvt. Clay, Ha! It was Thursday, March 16. It looked like the warm weath er was here to stay. SUDDENLY it was very cold. There it was. The envelope in my mailbox was 9 1-2 inch es long and in the upper!eft hand corner were the black letters S-E-L-E-C-T-I-V-E Times in Sept. 1963, worked on the desk for 18 months and then covered the White House until Nov. 1966. Since that time Semple has been covering urban affairs and Civil Rights outside Wash ington, but says he "has kept an eye on Johnson." Semple will be introduced by Paul Bernish, president of the Press Club. The lecture is open to the public. Banking Hours Changed The Chapel Hill office of North Carolina National Bank lengthened its banking hours during the spring vacation. Luther H. Hodges Jr., . sen ior vice president and city exe cutive of NCNB, said the new hours are designed for the convenience of bank customers ( particularly University stu dents and faculty members. Beginning last Tuesday, the bank has observed the follow ing hours for customers mak ing deposits or withdrawals: Monday through Thursday, open 9 a.m. until 1 p.m., and say. j By Wednesday, city officials were publieh praising the ; youths for their wonderful behavior. What kept an estimated 75.000 students from starting trou ble? I One reason may have been the beer ban. That's right. For the first time in history, NO beer was allowed to be con sumed on the beach. Everybody took it pretty well. There was some dismay-at first, and many students who rolled into Daytona, kept on rolling toward Lauderdale where the beer was on the beach. Many others, however, contented themselves with drinking in the motel rooms at night, and just lying on the beach during the day. i ' And there was a lot of beach to lie on about 20 miles of if. ; The pattern was familiar: two lanes of cars crawling north and south at snail's pace, looking for a place to pull in and park on a blanket. College Neicspcfer TUESDAY, APRIL 4, 1967 so Colin Stewart and Susan Navin, when left to their imagination frolicked in the woods simply because it was SPRING. " DTH Photo by Steve Adams S-E-R-V-I-C-E (never have un derstood what the "selective" is supposed to mean). I didn't have to open it. I knew what it said. And you will too when you get yours. Expecting it? Since August when I left the University of North Carolina I had feared it. I never took it seriously un til I saw that letter. It was like back in the third grade on report card day. I was all nervous inside because I knew before I looked that I was getting an F in spelling never one of my better sub jects. That letter brought a feeling of depression and frustration. Two years is a long time to lose, and that is the way I thought about it at the time. It was like a sentence. I wasn't thinking about being noble or serving my country I just don't look at it that way. Well, ' I sat there on th e porch, it was 6 o'clock and the sun was shining bright ly, and then I finally peeled the letter open. FROM the President of the United States, it said. Well I smiled a little anyway. That's bureauracy for you. "Greeting." Huh. I always thought it said "Greetings." which somehow seems to be a rather sarcastic opening for that kind of letter. "You are hereby ordered to report for induction. . .So there it was. Accept it, I thought. I think I have, but 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.; Friday, open 9 a.m. until 1 p.m., and 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. "In the past," Hodges said, "we have been open from 9 a.m. until 1:30 p.m., then closed for the rest of the day. This has caused considerable inconvenience for many stu- dents and professors whose schedules keep them busy un til mid-afternoon. "By closing at 1 p.m. and reopening two hours later, we feel that we can offer a maxi mum of service to a maxi mum number of people." College AT 1 By HUNTER GEORGE DTH Staff Writer Scott Goodfellow withdrew from the run-off election for Daily Tar Heel editor Monday. The 19-year-old journalism major from Coronado, Calif.; announced the withdrawal with the statement: "Due to the fine work of an excellent staff, I feel that the Daily Tar Heel has upheld high standards throughout this semester. It is chiefly because of my staff that I regret to announce that I am withdraw ing from the run-off election. "A victory by Bill Amlong in the election was only barely thwarted by a. majority-vote rule. sometimes a lingering hope comes to me and I think "a mistake?" No. It couldn't be. They spelled my name right, and with a name like mine you shouldn't make mistakes. So I was going to get mar ried July 1. That will have to be put off awhile. Not long, maybe a month or so. Telling her was hard. She cried, of course. But now she is taking it very well, which has been a big help. Now I'm 23, and yet the hardest person to tell was my mother. She didn't cry. It would have been better if she had. I KNOW she understands. Probably better than anyone. My dad was in the Army for 28 years and loved every minutealmost. I am not bitter. I'm glad of that I don't always agree with U. S. military policy by any means. But if all those other guys can go and make it I certain ly can. I don't look on it as an "honorable service." The draft has taken honor out of it. It's an obligation and to me, an ob ligation that, like taxes and death, you can't beat unless you aren't healthy. Healthy I am. I couldn't flunk the physi cal with a physical - flunking machine. So I'll go and do my best. Who knows, maybe I'll learn something. I didn't even think about the possibilities of Vietnam until someone mentioned it several hours after I got the call. Yes, I think we should be fighting there. Probably a lit tle harder than we are. Com ing from a military back ground (I asked my dad if maybe he would lend me 14 of his 28 years so I would be a veteran) I am what you call a hawk with fangs. H I go over there it wouldn't bother me probably think less about that than about being drafted. I get a lot of flack about Vietnam. I'm 6-4 and one of my good friends says the tall guys get to carry the machine guns. And of course they al ways shoot at the machinegun ners first. But I'll bet I be- Or looking. Tnv-v v. as the girl in the pink bikini who paraded her twiia-anipic li;uiv m inuu of thousands of leering males by riding up and down the beach on a rented Honda. There were the two Carolina gentlemen who calmly drove onto the beach near the boardwalk in a yellow Cutlass con vertible, picked up two comely cuties (or horny honies) and drove off again all in five minutes. There was the other Carolina gentleman who estimated he bought 30 six packs of beer over a four-day period, but didn't drink them himself. He was the only guy in the motel court who was 21, so naturally his sen ices were in demand. There were the fellows from up North who came down with $79.50 between them. They spent $40 on traffic teickets and were forced to retreat homeward four days early. And there was the young pre-med student from the Uni versity of Georgia who said he was five days late for class already. He just didn't want to leave. It was like that all week. difor Mace H "I have confidence that the Daily Tar Heel will continue to follow the high standards which have always marked it in the past and maintain its high position of leadership among college papers." Goodfellow has served as ed itor since the end of January when the Publications Board asked him to fill the post, which was vacated by former editor Fred Thomas. Previously, he was DTH managing editor since April, 1966. He is also a Morehead scholar and a member of Del ta Upsilon Fraternity. The totals in the election showed Bill Amlong just short, of a majority, polling 2,445 come the best and fastest fox hole digger in basic. So life may turn out to be a bed of jungle leaves for awhile. But still, the experience won't be as tough as opening that letter. Maybe those of you who somehow miss it think you are lucky, and I may agree be fore its over. But I wonder it l wouldn't feel guilty later. Km " W nil - I f -- , - Jit. ; ... 4 -g ...

Ap pointments should be made at the GM Information Desk. Founded Febmarv 23. 1893 votes, to 1,455 for Goodfellow, and 1,028 for Dick Levy. Under the Student Government elec- tion laws, a runoff was declar- ed necessary between Good fellow and Amlong to deter . mine the winner. Goodfellow said he would like to devote more time to the student-faculty Traffic and Safety Committee, of which he is the only student member. The committee controls park ing zones and traffic flow on campus, and will receive tha report of Wilbur Smith and Associates concerning the park ing problem at UNC. "I made this decision after a great deal of thought," Goodfellow said, "and I feel it's the best solution to the problems I saw facing me. "In the past few weeks the news staff has provided ex cellent coverage of campus events, and the Daily Tar Heel has experimented with various mechanical devices such as color pictures and tinted newsprint. "The contract under negoti ation for next year will allow the DTH to function better than ever before. I hope that the new staff will take advan tage of these improvements. Goodfellow .also commended the University administration for "it's cooperation and it's unfailing efforts to provide me with a factual background for editorials, even though offici als frequently disagreed with DTH opinion.
