' : u Were Saving 'It.. For A Rainy Rainy Bay

faith happened t0 Noah' but he kePt the
And it happened to UNC Monday.
At 3 p.m., as thousands of unsus
pecting students wandered out of class
room buildings all over the campus, they
saw a great, black mass of cloud rolling
in on the blue sky.
Some decided right then and there
they would need an umbrella. Other
brave souls persisted in their blind faith
and walked on without one, but within
20 minutes they, too, lost the faith.
What happened then was a Little
Flood, complete with torrential winds
and rain, and accompanied by fierce
lightening and thunder.
Umbrellas began to pop open as
people made that gruelling decision of
whether to get wet or take a chance
on getting fried medium rare if a light
ening bolt chose their umbrella as a
target.
The rain won out.
At 3:40 p.m. the proverbial bottom
fell out, just minutes after the press ser
vice sent a story over the wire lament
ing the terrible predicament the state
would be in if it didn't rain "within a
week."
It didn't, wait that long.
In a period of about 40 minutes
(ironic) the 87 degree temperature drop
ped 15 degrees, the barometer zoomed
up to 87 per cent humidity and -89 inch
of rain fell on Chapel Hill., ending a
27-day drought.
Then the fune began. People started
dashing helter-skelter for shelter.
Some made it. Some didn't. The way
you could tell was by the percentage
of their clothing that was wet and
by their language.
Downstairs in Graham Memorial,
which became a temporary resting sta
tion, people gathered outside around the
columns to watch the rain
Gradually, however, as the tempo of
the rain increased, so did the tempo of
their retreat, until finally there remain
ed only a few hardy souls (believers)
clustered around the door.
The ping pong table was hoisted
over the threshold and the doors were
opened to let in a welcome breeze.
That action didn't continue, though,
as the steady rain and haphazard ligh
tening increased to mass proportions. It
would have been a true test for Mor
ton's salt.
A fun - loving couple danced through
the raging torrent that had just been
created outside GM.
Upstairs in GM, in the Daily Tar Heel
office, some observant soul yelled
"Abandon ship!" and pointed to the wall
over one of the windows.
It looked like the inside of Snuffy
Smith's cabin the wall was leaking a
stream of water, right onto an electric
lamp that fortunately was disconnect
ed. Then, at 3:55, just as suddenly as it
had erupted, the downpour stopped. Just
like that.
The sun came out, umbrellas went
in, people emerged from holes they had
crawled (or dived) into, and everything
was normal.
But probably the most appropriate
comment of the afternoon came from a
visiting professor at the UNC Geography
Department who was asked if anybody
there could read the weather gauges.
He replied:
"There's nobody here. I think they've
all disappeared."
Washed away, no doubt.

Texas Gulf Buying Land
(AP) Texas Gulf Sulphur Co. reportedly is
offering up to 10 times the current selling price for
land in Orange County.
The company has refused to comment, but re
ports last week indicated it is prospecting for copper.
Geologist's study' of the county in 1965 shows
that the other mining possibilities are gold, silver,
tungsten, zinc, lead and pyrophylite.
Gold mining was attempted in the area in the
19th century, but none of the many shafts in the
county has been worked since the early 1900s.
Speculation now is that the company may use
modern mining methods developed in the western
gold field to extract low grade gold deposits or it
may have found a new strain.
Texas Gulf has been buying up land options which
appear to run in a line from about five miles north
of Chapel Hill to Bethel Church section in the west
ern part of the county. t , .
Texas Gulf is reported to have offered between
$2 000 and $2,500 ari acre for property at both ends
of the line.
Southerners9 Plea Rejected
WASHINGTON (AP) The Supreme Court re
jected Mdnday an effort by Louisiana School
Boards to delay the integration of all public schools
in six Southern states by next fall.
The ruling, given without comment, means that
school officials in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisi
ana, Mississippi and Texas must get to work quickly
on plans for integrated classrooms, faculties, buses
and all other school activities.
While other legal manuevers are available to the
states it is highly unlikely the high court would act
on them before the end of its session in June. Thus
the states may be near the end of the road in their
attempt to upset the broad integration order given
March 29 by the U.S. Circuit Court in New Orleans.
Court Ruling Overthrown
WASHINGTON (AP) The Supreme Court side
stepped Monday a chance to rule broadly on the
rights of tenants in federally assisted housing proj
ects. But it reversed North Carolina's Supreme Court
which had upheld the eviction of a Negro mother of
three from a housing project in Durham, N. C.
The Court sidestepped the issue in light of a cir
cular distributed in February by the U. S. Depart
'ment of Housing and Urban Development. In it the
federal department told local authorities that tenants
should be told the reasons for proposed evictions and
given a chance to reply.
LB J Still Wants Surtax
WASHINGTON (AP) Against a background of
bullish news, President Johnson's chief economic ad
viser stood firm Monday behind the . proposal to ap
ply the economic brakes later this year through a 6
per cent income tax surcharge.
Gardner Ackley, Chairman of the President s
Council of Economic Advisers, said serious labor

j German's Weekend re
i membered from last year for
its wild partying and property
destruction was without in
cident last weekend and the
officials are happy about it.
Larry McDevitt, Dean
Long's Assistant who works
with the fraternity system,
said he thought "it was ex
cellent all around."
McDevitt, who in his under
graduate days five years ago
was the rush chairman for the
Beta's, added, "I went to the
German's concert and thor
; oughly enjoyed it. There were
not any incidents as far as I
have heard and I believe the
German's Club and the IFC
are to be commended for
their fine effort."
I Chapel Hill Police Chief Wil
jliam D.Blake said "there were
probably a, few more arrests
this past - weekend than nor
mal" but indicated not many
more. The biggest list of cita
tions for the two nights was
for parking on the sidewalks
19 ,of them. Other than that,
five were picked up for speed
ing, one for driving down the
sidewalk, one for parking in a
traffic island and a couple of
other minor infractions.
An officer at the police sta
tion who asked to remain an
onymous said, "it was real
quiet both nights. I worked the
desk both nights and it was
real quiet."
From the point of view of
trouble and incidents, Randy
Myer, IFC President said, "the
whole weekend went well.
Even though Sam and Dave
didn't show up for the Satur
day afternoon concert in Ra
leigh, there were no incidents
at all.
"I guess everybody was dis
appointed," Myer added, "but
there were no outward signs
of it." Everybody was enjoying
some good partying and didn't
seem to mind too much."
George Ventors, President of
the German's Club, said he
had been out of town for the
weekend, "so everything I've
heard is secondhand, but all
the reports I've heard have
been good."
Dean of Men William G.
Long was unavailable for com
ment," but Myer said he had
talked with Long and "he
(Long) said he thought it went
pretty well."
All was not perfect, how
ever, for a few accidents were
had, notably Student President
Bob Travis who is limping this
week due to a cut on his left
leg received sometime over the
weekend, he said.
Dave LeBarre, Student Body
Attorney General, was also
pleased, but may have been
more complete in his com
ments. "There were a lot of
bottles being thrown around
and a lot of noise" he said,
"but we have no reports of any
destruction. It was a big im
provement over last year;
none of the houses had any
damage done to them."
Last March during Ger
man's weekend, among other
things, a surf board wound up
in the PiKA chimney and ex
tensive damage was done to
the Pi Lam house.
At that time, Dean Long or
dered an extensive investiga
tion of the entire fraternity
system to solve this problem
of "wanton destruction."

. University Party chairman
Tom Manley has resigned
his post because of a "fail
ure, on the part of UP leader
ship , to recognize a definite
trend in changing student at
titudes," he said.
That trend, he said, is to
wards "greater student par
ticipation, more complete par
ticipation, and a generally
more liberal outlook."
His resignation is effective
on the election of a new
chairman. The party hasn't
set a date for new elections
yet.
Manley said he regretted
that an "unfair stigma of
bossism and conservatism"
had been instrumental in the
defeat of Bill Purdy," whom
he termed "a truly liberal
candidate and an outstanding
person." . -
