Gen. Clark Defends Draft
WASHINGTON Mark W. Clark called Wednes
day for a stiff crackdown on draft dodgers and card
burners ,as he urged Congress to extend and improve
the Selective Service Act.
The four-star general of Korean and World War
II fame opposed use of any lottery system other than
birthdates for induction. He disagreed also with some
other recommendations' of President Johnson's special
advisory commission.
Clark told the Senate Armed Services Committee
that an advisory panel he headed unanimously agreed
"that a draft law will be required for national security
purposes for the indefinite future."
The general recommended, among other things:
Calling 19- and 20-year-olds first instead of the
present system of taking older eligibles in the 18-26
year draft age bracket.
Continuing college deferments for youth until
they obtain a degree or reach 24 years, but putting
them into the draft pool with the 19-year-old even if
they are married and fathers.
Truckers Working Again
WASHINGTON Long-haul truckers resumed
high-balling across the nation's highways Wednesday
after the end of a three-day lockout that did not last
long enough to be felt by most of the country.
But the auto industry, unable to get parts ship
ments, still had some 24,000 wrokers laid off. Other
industries also continued to feel the impact of delayed
deliveries of raw materials and parts.
Tons of merchandise remained stacked up at load
ing docks and warehouses, where some spokesmen
said it would take perhaps a week ot return to nor
malcy. Ninety per cent of Chicago's vital truck fleet,
however, remained idle Wednesday as contract nego
tiations continued between 4,700 trucking firms and
56,000 drivers and dock workers who were not parties
to the tentative agreement reached here.
California Man Executed
SAN QUENTIN, Calif . Policeman-killer Aaron
Mitchell puffed nervously on his last cigarette, moaneci
loudly twice, walked out of his cell, collapsed and was
carried the last 13 steps to his death Wednesday in
California's gas chamber.
"I'rri Jeus Chfist; tK37ear-bld"bearded 'Negro '
gasped his face puffy from nightlong crying in his
last conscious moment.
Mitchell, whose left arm was taped where he cut
himself with a razor Tuesday, was the first person
executed in California in more than four years. His
execution was the first in the nation since last August.
Within two hours of his death, a legislative com
mittee in Sacramento rejected a bill to abolish the
death penalty.
A packed crowd of 58 witnesses peered through
the windows of the octagonal death chamber in San
Quentin prison as the potassium cyanide pellets were
dropped at 10:04 a.m.
Outside, jammed against the main gate of the
prison, were about. 500 protesting sign-carriers. They
sang almost continuously, "We shall overcome." Many
had been there all night.

"There is a time for the
rewards and a time for the
fun." John Ellis began at the
Morrison ceremony for new
officers Tuesday night.
"And that's what we're here
for tonight," the immediate
past governor of Morrison Re
sidence College said. And it
was.
Parts of the ceremonies
were solemn at least ser
ious. Three trophies were given
to Most Outstanding House,
Most Improved House and
Most Outstanding House.
Griffith House received the
first for their adoption of a
Korean orphan, for their in
vitations and welcome letters
to all incoming freshmen last
fall, and for their "four single
spaced typed pages of ac
complishments this year" E1-'
lis said.
Don Lassiter, president of
Griffith House won the tro
phy for Most Outstanding Pre
sident. The Morehead Schol
ar has just been tapped into
the Society of Janus (as a
sophomore) for his outstand
ing work in contributing to the
improvement of residence hall
life.
Iredell House, headed by
John Connor, President, re
ceived the Most Improved
House Trophy.

and in part, of course, as
Student Body President.
"I do feel awfully close to
Morrison," he began, "about
500 votes close. Seriously," he
added, "Morrison has taken
the lead in the residence col
lege system."
He continued that Student
Government would surely lose
some of its influence as the
campus expands.
"I see student government
as in equal partnership with
the residence colleges," he
wound up. He was brief, he
said, because he, like every
one else, was anticipating
some of the four cases of
champagne sitting on ice in
the back of the room.
William G. Long, honorary
housefather of Morrison and
also Dean of Men, gave a
few words praising Morrison.
He said that often in his job
he has attendency to "forget
about the Quality People of this
campus."
Morrison, he said, is the "on
ly resident college that is sole
ly the product of the resi
dence college thrust. But it
hasn't just happened, though.
It's the product of some of
the finest leadership on the
campus."
He congratulated "B o s s

housemother, David and
Mary Layton, the present
such people; and a host 'of
others.

Psychedelia came to Chapel Hill Wednesday.
The occasion was the Fine Arts Festival and the
event was a chalk-in.
It was op, pop and . . . and then POW! the batdean
decided to stage a washout.
A group of ambitious art students had begun early
in the morning with one box of colored chalk on the
75 by 75 foot concrete slab know as Y-Court in the
middle of the University campus here.
By noon the tiny splash of colors in the middle
of the concrete areas was spreading in all directions
like a mad amoeba.
And the faster the "art work" grew, the more stu
dents came to stare. One by one, students would slip
into the nearby University store and emerge a few
minutes later with a box of colored chalk.
Each student contributed a squiggle, a patch of
color, a drawing or a wise comment. One student con

Pass-Fail Plan Nearing

The proposal will be con

Officials decline to discuss

that h was endorsing the
plan, by which students could
receive grades of "pass" or

40 courses.

Textile workers at the seven
Cone Mill plants will probably
go on strike for at least a
week sometime late in April or
early in May, according to
Anne Schunior of the Student
Labor Committee of UNC.
Workers decided at a Joint
Policy Committee meeting on
April 2 to give the Strike
Committee the right to call a
strike.

At that time sentiment fa
vored a strike late in April
or early in May.
Union members at the Cone
and Chatham Mills are spon
soring a Conference on Textile
Workers Rights, Sunday, Ap
ril 23 to be held at the Cae
sar Cone Elementary School
in Greensboro.
The strike will not be held
before that conference, ac
cording to Schunior.
The Student Labor Com
mittee will meet today at 4
p.m. at the Wesley Founda
tion to plan its actions and to
work on getting as many stu
dents as possible to attend
the conference.
The purpose of the confer
ence is to give workers from
different plants and compan
ies the opportunity to get to
know each other and their
common problems.
It is also designed to allow
workers the chance to explain
their situation to students,
ministers, and college profes
sors and to give everyone a
chance to beginning planning
activities.
The conference will begin at
10 a.m. on Sunday.
There will be an talk on
"The Conspiracy of the Tex
tile Industry" and the reports
from each mill represented.
The conferenca will then
break down into small groups
to discuss the worker's prob-.
lems in the mills and plans
for the future.
The conference will end at 5
one chalked in a corner of the square. "Who's going
to clean up this mess?" it asked.
And that was what the administration was wonder
ing about too. Late Wednesday South Building had
started an investigation and was planning to counter
act a chalk-in with a washout.
And while Dean Long started talking discipline,
the colored blob started to move on to the administra
tive building. It moved down the sidewalk in front and
down the sidewalk in back.
A group of students began wandering around with
a flute and a tamborine. And some students who had
grown tired of chalking the sidewalk began to chalk
other students.
One student explained carefully that if a person
stood in the correct position at sunset at the side of the
mystic symbol he had chalked on the sidewalk, chanted
the correct words, he would levitate.
By evening the administration was looking for the
right words, too words to the students who started
the whole mess and the administration was wishing
the whole thing would just levitate and go away.

p.m. After that there will be
a supper and entertainment.
The next strike, whenever
it comes, will last a week. At
the end of the week a vote
will be taken to see if the
strike should be continued.
According to the "Cone Wor
kers' Union Voice", a news
letter put out by the Textile
Workers Union of America,
the general feeling of the wor
kers is for a long strike.
