rv ";C Library Box 070 4te ft 2751 eace Vm it By BILL AMLONG Ded cileIiIrS,WeekIy Peacfc slip month win sWeaWy iRt0 its fourth month Wednesday in the sweltering heat of an April noon. Things are a bit different now with LPeT VlgU than they were at the ak f0r ne thing' il's smaller. About 120 persons-students, faculty and townspeople-lined the Franklin Street sidewalk from the Post Office to Sasha's. A 30 foot strip of excavated sidewalk was the only break in the line. 1 here was a time, though, when the 1 eace Vigil drew crowds of 200 or more. But only 120 stood in the April noon heat Wednesday to silently protest U.S. involvement in Viet Nam. And by 12:51, Scott 'Bradley, a 21-year-old English major who was holding the end sign had only moved down as far as Shasha's to expand the line. ANOTHER FACET of the peace vigil that has changed is the counter-pickets. There aren't near as many of them as there were earlier, either. . "A few people may come out as counter-pickets' said English Professor Forrest Read, who was "monitor" for the vigil Wednesday, pacing up and down the line of protestors. "They don't always come exactly at noon, though. They aren't here yet today' PoUUcal Action Of The Powerless It was only a little after noon when Read spoke. Shortly later 13-year-old Jim Rice, a freshman Spanish and Interna tional Relations major, stood in front of the Post Office silently holding a sign proclaiming that "Women's Wear Daily Says Black Pajamas Are OUT This Year." Next to Rice stood a pretty, blonde secretary, 23, who declined to identify herself. Her sign read: "What a Bunch of Cowards. 1 Too Hate War. But, I Hate Communism MORE." Standing next to the secretary and talking to her was a tall, lanky senior who also did not want his name given. "I'm in the Marine Corps Reserve, so I can't be a counter protestor," he said, '-but I am against what they're doing. , "The reason I'm against this is I love ;that," he said, looking up at the flag flying in front of the Post Office. "It may sound corny as hell, but it's -a fact." ONLY TWO policemen were assigned to Wednesday's demonstration. There used to be more of them, too. "They put as many over here as the chief thinks needs to be here," said Patrolman I. D. Ashley, who walks the Franklin Street beat. "The only reason we're here is to' make sure no trouble starts." And none did.. There wasn't even any of the John Philip Sousa and Barry Sadler music blaring from stereo speakers in Battle Residence Hall. Nor were there the heckling shouts from across the street that interrupted the vigil's silence for a time toward the start of it. In fact, about the noisiest distrubance heard was the constant and somewhat maddening lawnmower-like puttering of Officer Ashley's motor scooter, park ed right behind a group of vigilers. AS 1 P.M. NEARED, the vigil began breaking up. A pretty, Oriental-looking woman left slightly early with her baby, whom she held in ber arms throughout the vigil, caressing him when he began to cry. Before the vigilers left, they all signed their weekly petition, copies of which are mailed regularly to the President, North Carolina's two senators and Con gressman James Gardner. "They all probably get filed in the waste basket," RTYMP Professor Rob ert Gwyn told an aging lady vigil mem ber. Gwyn reflected on the vigil's useful ness as he walked from Franklin Street to the Presbyterian Student Center for "a simple lunch' of bread, cheese, in stant coffee and an apple: "It's just a political action of the powerless." Orientation Meet The Orientation Commission will meet in GM today from 3:30 to 5 to send out letters to the orientation counselors selected for next fall. All members are urged "to attend. .)

West Germany was plunged into mourning, and as the bells tolled messages of condolences poured in from leaders around the world. "Konrad Adenauer will be missed everywhere," Johnson said in Washington, "but his dauntless spirit will live in in the Atlantic partnership which he did so much to create." v De Gaulle and Prime Minister Harold Wilson of Britain also will be among the other world leaders who will attend the funeral in Cologne's Roman Catho lic Cathedral Tuesday afternoon.' ' " Allied Fullback Proposed WASHINGTON The United States and South Vietnam are prepared to withdraw their forces 10 miles south of the demilitarized zone if North Vietnam pulls its forces 10 miles north of the zone, the State Depart ment announced today. . The proposal would, if agreed to, create a 26-mile-wide belt to be inspected by the representatives of the International Control Commission. State Department officials said the pullback pro posal had not been conveyed through diplomatic chan nels to North Vietnam but Hanoi would be made readi ly aware of it through the good offices of the press.

DTH Sports Editor Bitsy Harrison, Carolina's number one tennis player, was declared ineligible for the remainder of the tennis sea son Tuesday. In - an exclusive telephone interview with the DTH, ACC Commissioner Jim Weaver 7 made the following statement: Is "Bitsy Harrison has been declared ineligible on the grounds that his athletic eli gibility had expired before the season began. "I would like to say at this time that the University of North Carolina, their s athletic n department, the - tennis team and the player involved are all clear in this matter," he continued. "At no time have they tried to pull a fast one on us and play an ineligible player." The question of Harrison's eligibility first came up when the players were filling out eligibility forms for the re gular season. x His form was cleared by the athletic office here and passed on to the commissioner's of fice with a special request to double check his form. It was cleared by the commissioners office, and Harrison was ruled eligible to play this season. "The mistake on Harrison's eligibility was entirely my fault," Commissioner Weaver said. "I checked his form and I" f. JU.. ..U.l.l ML. ...... -Ill II 11.111 -I-I III . ..II..I.....M. LIU III U U l. I. UN II LI ! IILI.MI. I I. I I ..

That was one of the problems confronting the girls in the second annual CWC shoe-shine. The shine-in will continue today from 9-6 in Y-Court, at Lenoir and Chase, and near the Scuttlebutt. Coed Social Mules Minister Wants King 'Out' To Be Voted On CHICAGO The Rev. Henry Mitchell, Negro minis ter of the North Star Missionary Baptist Church in a West Side slum, told reporters today that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. should "get the hell out of here." He spoke out at a news conference against a re sumption of marches by Dr, King and his associates into white neighborhoods in Chicago to back up de mands for better housing. The Rev. Mitchell called Dr. King an "outsider" and said Negro problems should be discussed "around the table." The Rev. Mr. Mitchell is president of the North Star United Missionary Workers of America. Pope Lashes At Extremes VATICAN CITY Pope Paul VI lashed out in a speech Wednesday at both extremes in the Roman Catholic Church the ultraliberals making unauthoriz ed changes and the rigid conservatives fighting to block modernization. It was one of the strongest open denunciations Pope Paul has made against what he considers excessive trends at work in the Church since the udating move ment was launched. He called on both clergy and faithful not to let themselves become enchanged by the itch for capricious HeTaldhe could not "keep silent our bitterness over some facts and tendencies that certainly do not favor thgood results that the Church expects from the deh- gent work of this com. Preparation for a coed re ferendum May 11 on social rules including the issue of off-campus housing for senior women was made this week by Women's Residence Coun cil. WRC approved the poll of campus women in its April 12 session and legislature repre sentative to WRC, Martha Rainey, entered the bill in le gislature last Thursday night, where it was referred to the Rules Committee. A source in legislature said the measure is expected to pass unanimously tonight. Referendum questions deal with five areas of women's rules: l) graduated degrees of privilege from freshman , to senior year, 2) signout for overnight absenses " from the dormitory, 3) substantial ex tension of late minutes allow ed, 4) off-campus apartments for seniors and women over 21 question of assigning night watchmen to dormitories for security reasons. WRC will seriously consider the results of the referendum, Chairman Sharon Rose stated, but neither WRC nor the stu dent legislature will be bound by the results of the vote. "The poll is part of a new effort by WRC to - establish better communication between the coeds and the council and to find out what changes the girls feel they need," she said. - Campus News Briefs By HUNTER GEORGE DTH Staff Writer An expanded Honors pro gram which vwill enable a stu dent to do interdispiclinary study on his own time in the topic of his choice will be of fered next semester. The announcement was made by Dr. Daniel Patter son, associate dean of the Honors program, who partici pated along with two other professors and two students in a panel discussion of the Hon ors program Tuesday night. ' Under the new program, en titled Honors 37 and 33, junior and senior students with a 3.0 average may present an out line of the topic they would like to pursue on their own time to Dr. Patterson before pre-registration this spring. If approved, the project (which must be of an inter disciplinary nature) may be assigned-a number of hour credits varying from three to nine hours. Previously, the maximum number of hour credits allow ed was three per semester. Now, however, as many as nine hours per semester may be achieved. Another change announced It 'Happens 9 Tonight I'ft'X-X-XWvWv.v.-.v. WHAT: A Be-in WHERE: By Silent Sam WHEN: 1 o'clock today WHO: Anyone who wants to Be WHY: To Be It's an ordinary dance show, except everybody's perform ing. Tonight from 8-12 at the Naval Armory, the One - Eyed Jacks, the Chessmen and Dave Pardington with his light orchestra will present a new experience in dancing. Pardington's light orchestra consists of a series of paint ed, abstract slides and an op aque projector. The slides are panes of glass painted in weird designs, which when passed through the projector, throw the magnified designs throughout the room, in unus ual patterns of colored light. Dancers moving in this light create an unusual effect. A new machine, which Par dington will use behind the combos transforms the pitch of the music into light colors and spins them about the room. The idea is to link sound with light, thus intensifying the sound. Playboy Magazine published a feature on such a light - sound combination a couple of years ago. Tickets for. the dance are on sale at the Record Bar, and there will be limited sale at the door tonight. Talent Show Tonight The Campus Talent '67 show, sponsored by Channel 8 television, High Point, will be held tonight at 8 in the Rendezvous Room. The winner will appear on an hour - long TV show May 13, to be televised by Chan nel 8. A sampling of UNC talent entries "include: a jug band, (flaming guitarist, and sev eral folk singers. The state-wide winner on Channel 8 will receive a $500 grant - in - aid for his school. Sorority Slides The Panhellenic Council de dc i d e d Wednesday to hold meetings in the women's dor mitories to introduce fresh man women to the sorority system. The meetings, to be held early in May, will feature slides showing various aspects of sorority life and will be followed by an informal ques tion - and -, answer period. Emphasis will be on show ing how a Panhellenic spirit within the sororities, with the Inter-Fraternity Council, and with the University enriches the life of a sorority girl. Tuesday night was that hence forth a special Honors com mittee will consider requests for projects, rather than go ing through the College of Arts and Sciences. Also announced at the meet ing, which was attended by about 35 students, were plans to offer: A number of special his tory seminars for history ma- . jors. Special A-section seminars in English literature for all Honors students. New Honors courses in the field of natural sciences. Greek Week Enthusiasm Outlasts Paint Rub-a-dub-dub, fifteen men in a swimming pool and who -do you think they .are? The pledges at UNC, of course. Rock, trash, and bottle col lection began Tuesday in the Carrboro Community Center Pool by the fraternity pledge classes as one of the Greek Week Projects. Each class, working in one hour shifts, acid-washed the pool, scrubbing on hands and knees the entire concrete sur face with acid dipped brushes to remove the dirt and algae. A thorough hosing washed the acid and residue down the drain. With the Wednesday morning sun, pledges returned to cover the grey concrete with a coat of bright aqua paint. But evi dently over-enthusiasm paid off . . . by 2:30 p.m. there was no more paint. About two-thirds of the pool" glistened, drying in the after noon sun. Meanwhile Jack Rand of Saint Anthony's Hall, directed the pledges in an al ternative project. They re sorted to collecting trash, pa per, and broken bottles from a corner of the playground area. Rand said he bad contacted " Miss Jane Hogan, who is in charge of the recreation cen ter, and she was making ar rangements to provide them with paint. made the mistake. It was a simple matter that he had five years to complete four years of eligibility from the time he entered college, and in Har rison's case, he had attended Tulane for a year and then transfered to Carolina. "The transfering to Carolina cost him a year, and then he play ed one year at Carolina be fore entering the Army for two years. "Thus, he had used up his eligibility before the season started." Commissioner Weaver went on to say that until the mistake was discovered the Heels thought that Harrison was eli gible and had been playing him as though he was. But, since the mistake was discovered, and the , athletic department notified, the uni versity cooperated fully with the ACC in clearing up the matter, he said. . Disqualified There had also been some question as to how this, ruling would affect the - team's . re cord this year? "Naturally since he was in eligible, any school Carolina played could protest their match" he added. "But, all the schools in question were notified of the mistake some time ago and thus far none of them have indicated to our of fice that they would like to take any action. "So, the Carolina record will remain intact at 14 wins and no loses." "It's very unfortunate that this thing had to happen," tennis coach Don Skakle com mented Thursday. "We certainly acted in good faith all along in playing Bitsy because we thought he was eligible. "We're just awful sorry that this had to happen, and we all feel very badly about it." ifi PS - L. : ri jf BSS2 ..VI x lit v.,. p DTH Staff Photo by MIKE McGOWAN WHO SAID pledges aren't eager to work. Like when an IFC task force of pledges were supposed to be painting the Carr boro Recreation Center's swimming pool as part of Greek Week and the paint ran out, did they slough off for the rest of the afternoon. Nevuh, suh! Instead they went traipsing about the playground, looking for bottles to pick up. Go, pledges, go.
