FRIDAY, APRIL 7. 1967 Founded February 23. 1893 mm House Passes Bag Bill RALEIGH (AP) The North Carolina House Thursday passed and sent to the Senate a bill to le galize brown-bagging of liquor in wet areas of the state. The final roll call vote was 72-37. Tentative ap proval of the measure drafted by Rep. Sam Johnson, D-Wake, was voted Wednesday, but the House Thurs day adopted a clarifying amendment and continued debate for 45 minutes before taking a final vote. The measure authorizes brown-bagging in ap proved restaurants and private clubs in wet areas and transportation of liquor throughout the state. It will go back to the Senate for concurrence with the House version of a bill which the Senate passed last week. Rep. C. Edley Hutchins, R-Buncombe, warned the proposal will bring "open bars along the highway" and recounted to members of the House stories of au tomobile crashes he had seen caused by liquor. Rep. Julian B. Fenner, D-Nash, commended spon sors of the bill and said before it was submitted, the General Assembly has "set a bad example for the children of this state by permitting an unrealistic law to stay on the books. He said the new law will be "fair for both wets and drys." r Dom weis ana arys. Draft Card Burner jailed NEW YORK (AP) David J. Miller was carried bodily from a federal courtroom yesterday to begin a two and one-half-year jail sentence as the nation's first draft card burner. The 24-year-old husband father of an infant daugh ter was jailed for refusing to obtain a new draft card to replace the one he burned as an act of protest against the Vietnam war. ' Miller lay down on the floor of the courtroom when he was sentenced to jail as a probation violator by Judge Harold R. Tyler. "I will sit down because I want to show you that it's against my will," Miller said. Marshals then car ried him from the courtroom. . The defendant turned down an offer by the judge to put off his commitment in order to ' 'spend a little time" with his family. - Miller was convicted March 15, 1966, of burning his draft card. Judge Tyler had sentenced him to three years in prison, but suspended the sentence on condition he get a new draft card within 15 days. The conviction was upheld b Appeals Court and the Supreme Court declined to review the case. Miller, formerly of Syracuse and more recently a resident of Washington, burned his draft card Oct. 15, 1965 at a Manhattan Army induction center. Miller's wife, Catherine, sat on the courtroom floor near her husband when the sentence was pronounced. Marvin Karpatkin, an American , Civil Liberties Union lawyer, said Miller was not violent. Demonstrators Greet HHH BERLIN (AP) Demonstrators hurled bags of flour at Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey's car last night and shouted anti-American slogans after a dav that saw him charm Berliners by reaffirming a U.S. pledge to defend Berlin. None of the flour struck the vice president, who had been given a heavy security guard after police arrested 10 young leftist extremists and accused them of planning to attack him with explosives. But the night echoed with whistles, boos and shouts of "Americans out of Vietnam" as Humphrey arrived at Charlottenburg Castle to be the guest of honor at a reception given by Mayor Heinrich Al bertz. On his two-week tour of Western Europe, Humphrey has been dogged by demonstrations mainly aimed at U.S. policy in Vietnam and this was one of the larg est. Humphrey's limousine, guarded by a phalanx of motorcycle policemen, whipped past the demonstra tors as they chanted "Ho, Ho Chi Minn" the presi dent of North Vietnam. Nurse Upholds Testimony PEORIA, 111. (AP) Tiny Corazon Amurao, who has identified Richard Speck as the slayer of eight nurses, held firmly to her story yesterday under one hour and 24 minutes of cross-examination. Gerald W. Getty, who is defending Speck on charges of murdering the young women, delved into an earlier identification of Speck and raised questions about men who called at the nurses' townhouse living quarters and whether the doors were locked. The interrogation touched on parts of the testi mony Miss Amurao gave Wednesday about the mas sacre in the pre-dawn hours of July 14, 1966 in the victims' dormitory on Chicago's south side, and re ferred to the investigation that followed. Miss Amurao was the sole survivor. abr Daily aar IJrrl World News BRIEFS By The Associated Press 4 President Bob Travis is sworn in by Frank Hodges. Fire Laws Are Inadequate; -rpK A "I 7&T Better Alarms Necessary By DON CAMPBELL DTH News Editor The chances of a tragic fire on this campus, such as the one Wednesday morning at Cornell University, are less now than they were a few years ago, but there are Uni versity officials who would like to see further fire safety steps taken. The fire at Cornell took the lives of eight students and a faculty member housed in a co . - educational "fireproof " dormitory. Trustee Change Matter Shelved Former Governor Luther Hodges apparently will go along with Gov. Dan Moore's tabling of the Teport which Hodges' study commission submitted last November rec ommending extensive changes in the University Board of Trustees. Hodges, commenting on Moore's recommendation last week that the report be re ferred 'without prejudice" to the General Assembly, said, ''We have to follow whatever the Governor recommends." Moore said the report was "most comprehensive and meritorious," but that "it's recommendations are . far reaching, and, if adopted, they would constitute a major change in the state's system of higher education." He added, however, that he Art Takes Over Town Sidewalks By CAROL WONSAVAGE DTH Features Editor Downtown Chapel Hill will turn into an outdoor art gal lery this weekend as the 10th annual Chapel Hill Sidewalk Art Show starts in front of Battle Dormitory as a pre lude to the Fine Arts Festi val. Paintings, prints, sculpture, and ceramics will line the sidewalk in front of Battle and occupy the adjoining lot. Any type of work may be submitted, including photo graphs. Over 200 exhibits have already been entered. For the first time prizes will be offered at the show. Charles Morgan, Assistant Professor of Art at the Uni versity of Georgia, will judge the entries on Friday morning. The $30 dollar prizes have been contributed by the Arts Festival Committee, the Art Gallery of Chapel Hill, and Huggins Hardware. Robert Collier, president of the University Art League, said the show is being held in conjunction with the Asso ciated Artists of North Caro lina for the first time. Artists Most of the dorms on this campus could be considered "fireproof" as the term is loosely used, but that doesn't make them absolutely safe, according to Housing Director James Wadsworth. He says that cinderblock walls, concrete floors nd steel doors make up a so called "fireproof" building. But once a fire gets started in a building like this, say in a mattress, in drapes, or in .the wiring in the walls, the smoke becomes a bigger would consider, recommending the bill to legislators in per haps two years. The Hodges' commission re port called for, in part: Reducing the board's size from 100 members to 24 by 1973. Prohibiting legislators or their wives from serving. Creating a 100 - member "board of advisers," elected by the General Assembly "to aid the board of trustees in maintaining effective relation ships between the University and the people of the State." Discontinuing the Gover nor's role as board chairman and abolish all honorary mem berships.

Most of the works displayed will be for sale. Prices range from $1 to $175 and works may be bought at the exhibit or through Ackland Art Gal lery. The prizes will be given for best in show, best painting, best sculpture, best in the field of prints and drawings, and best in other media. Another exhibit, which opened April 3 and will run through April 15 is Jbeing held concurrently with the Arts Festival. Two Chapel Hill art ists, painter Dick Mandell and sculptor Jim Brewer have dis played their works in the main exhibiting room of. the Morehead Planetarium. Both men have won many awards in local and national exhibi tions. Also being shown in con junction with the Arts Festi " val is the First National Print Makers Show at Ackland Art Center. Prize winning prints from all over the country are on display, with many offered for sale. I I . TK - .-ij ' W .-. y t hazard than the actual flames would be. It was the heavy smoke that took the lives at Cornell. Most of the newer dorms on campus have outside fire es capes from top to bottom. It was not until six or seven years ago that Old East and Old West had outside fire es capes. That was when the . ladders hanging down the out side walls were installed. The coeds here have regu lar fire drills in their dorms, the men do not. The rationa lization given for this is that men do not have closing hours, they come and go when they please, they are often absent from their rooms all night. Campus Security Chief Ar thur Beaumont thinks some steps should be taken. Name ly, an internal alarm sys tem. Wadsworth also would like to see an alarm system installed. Both men say the fire laws here are adequate and are adequately enforced. They say the state goes out of its way to see that new buildings are built to the best of stan dards. But they think more could be done. The campus is not immune to fires, but there have been few in recent years. Two years ago, an arsonist set fire to the drapes in the living room of the Phi Delta Theta House late one night, but he was caught, the fire was put out, and some 40 sleeping students were unharmed. v.

However, "for whatever their personal reasons," he said, "those two whom I had in mind are going to be unable to serve. Therefore I am going to hold off on my appointments un til Thursday night," the first regular session of the 43rd Assembly. Travis said it was of great importance to get these two positions filled, for the Court can not hear any cases with all fives justices have been appointed. Frank Hodges, Sherrie Le wis and John Surratt were ap pointed to the Court by past President Bob Powell. Travis stressed in his first press conference of his admin istration that his office is going to be open at all times. "I fully expect to be in my office much more in the morn ings. I also expect to be here every afternoon, including Sat- -5.. I 4 . " ' is 7n77 -j is . I ' "7 I urday, and even- night," he said. "I imagine my grades will fall and I accept this," Tra vis admitted. "I plan to de vote as much time as is hu manly possible to the duties and responsibilities of mv of fice." The new President wants to make himself available "to anyone who wants to see me, either at my convenience or at theirs. I will see any stu dent, any faculty member, any administrator, or any alumnus at any time, in any place," he said. He also said he will make known "my whereabouts at any time of any day, so when anyone wants to get in touch with me, he will be able to do so." In further solving what he calls "the big communica tions problem," Travis said he plans a bi-weekly break fast with the legislature and "weekly, at least, unless some thing big comes up" press conferences. He said he would be respon sible for his actions com pletely. "Any time someone wants to criticize my office or to call my hand, I will be open to listen. "There will be no one full P. A. (presidential aide)" he later said. "There will be no one man to have my ear, or one man who can use my name without my authority, or any person who can say, 'Bob Travis wants this or that.' "When I want to say some thing or make some state ment, I'll do it myself," he said. Interviewing Of Applicants Going Well Interviews for orientation counselors are going "very well" with regard to both "quality and quantity" of ap plicants, according to Jay Schwartz, assistant to the orientation commission chair man. Thus far, the commission, which is headed by Bill Long and Bill Bowman, has inter viewed approximately 150 ap plicants for orientation coun seling next Fall. Interviews have been held since Tuesday and are ex pected to continue until next Tuesday, "or whenever we get enough people," Schwartz said. Applicants are asked to fill out an information sheet out side Roland Parker Lounge in upstairs Graham Memorial, after which they are asked short questions concerning campus locations, academics, student government, extracur riculars and special situations.
