Travis said Chancellor J.

The drug proposal would tgive a five-man student-facdllty-Jadmindstrative board jurisdiction over cases where students are found making "illicit arid improper use" of drugs on and off campus. -The drug policy, "if adop ted," Travis told the tteglsSiatDrs, will mean that "students will have a voice in the trying and sentencing hi regard to al student offenses tor me iirst tune.

It was a demonstration of the oew chemical spray for the Chapel Hill Police Department, which began carrying it Tues day. Chapel Hill Police Chief William Blake, who was also a guinea pig for the docnonstra tion, issued two dozen aerosol canisters of the spray to his men following the demonstra tion, cautioning them to use it sparingly. "This is to be used only to take the place of the naht stick, or when you thmj youNJ have to burt the man to fert she arrest," Blake told the of ficers. "You don't just go around squirting it on anybody you want to arrest." Blake purchased the $123 worth of spray from the Del Chemical Co., a K'JY" firm, after deciding agaonst the purchase of another aerosol ipray, the corjtroyersl MACE, which , was used Jby Connecticut police durmg nets by q voice vote to ask thai closing hours be abolished for 11 upper-classmen, but a mo tion to do so was heavily de feated by WRC.

WRC members said they wasted to see how the no clos ing hours policy works for .Bra l. He called the establishment of a judicial panel with . students on it "a great victory for Student Government." Travis said he thought the drug policy IgSslature would be considering was one that "safeguards the integrity of system, allows for protection of the student corn- muniity, and most importantly demonstrates concern for the well being of the Sndividual student." A bill approving the policy was submitted Tuesday night by Tom Benton, SP from Craige. The bill will go into the judicial committee of legislature, which Benton Egg'NBi Student Stranded Three Days In By WAYNE IIURDER " ' of The Dally Jar Heel Staff !

First, he said, "because of the consequences to individual healHh and welM)eing that may derive from the abuse of cer tain types of drugs." -Secondly, "because of the great difference of perspective between the society at large and the student community in general on the use of drugs."

You've got to have something constructive to say about why you don't want closing hours.'

The special session of legislature had been called by Travis last Friday so the group could give (immediate con sideration to the policy, which he thought would be taken up by the Board of Trustees this Friday. When the Administration an nounced that it had decided immediate consideration was not necessary, he decided to go on with the meeting in order to clarify some points in the policy. Wyoming Relates?

One WRC representative, Andi Stein, told the , group: 'This is really the first time the WRC has been made aware the girls on this campus really want no dosing hours." At 8:12, a vote was called for.

The CU president, in reply to a telegram, from Reece B." Gardner, Republican candidate for Congress in the First District, said lipsitz 5s, entitled to make any kind of statement he wants to make about the war. lipsitz, of the Political Science Department, wrote, in a letter to the editor of The Daily Tar Heel last Sunday: "The worst outcome of the Vietnam war would be a U.S. Victory." Gardner sent a telegram to President Friday, which was received here about 9 ajm. Tuesday morning. Sales Of Jump, As By. JIM SADLER of The Daily Tar Heel Staff You don't have to tell EUioit Brummitt, rrmicist at Sut ton's Drug Store, that it's ex Patrolman Curtiss Shaw to prevent the spray from getting directly into my eyes, but they didnt help much.

All Brummitt has to do is look at the empty shelves" where the sleep preventatives are usually stored "and I know exams are coming," he says " airs "I couldn't even see Km," I answered. I can't see anything. Ail I can think about as how much it busts." After a few minutes, somebody brought a cold, wet towel for my face. It eased the pain a little, enough for me to open my eyes, but my skin still burned for about a half hour. For an hour or so after that, my eyes continued to smart and' my lips felt puffy, as if theyd been injected with novo--caine. DTH Staff Photo by GENE WANG The telegram read: "Reference Professor Lipsitz public remarks concerning war in Vietnam. Urge that necessary action be taken to stop this professor from making such statements. Suggest best action would be to remove him from his position as teacher." (Signed) Reece Gardner. Friday replied with a telegram two hours later. It was acidressed to Gardner, and read: "Reference your telegram. Dr. Lipsitz is an associate professor of political science on the faculty of the University at -Chapel Hill. He has expressed his opinion on the Vietnam war, which he is entitled tq do under his rights as a citizen of the .'.Unftd States...-- :. . .-. - - .The telegram was signed "J.C.''Sit terson, William Friday.". Lipsitz could net be reached for com ment Tuesday. , y The demand for sleep preventing pills such as No Doz and Verve increases so drastically, said Brummitt, that the drug store is hard put to supply the pills fast enough. "Our sales go up by leaps and bounds," he said. "They probably quadruple during the exam period." . Sutton's isn't getting all the business, however, with Howard Yandle, pharmicist at Sloan's Drug Store, reporting a 300 per cent increase in sales. There are about four or five different trade names for the sleep preventatives but they all cost about the same and all same type of caffeine citrate compound, said Yandle. Carolina To Represent Soviet Union Carolina wiH represent (who else?) Russia at the National Model United Nations in New York next month, it was an nounced Tuesday. And not only that, but we asked for it. Earl Hadden, president of the D i alectic-Philanthropic Societies, made the an nouncement, adding that 140 schools requested the chance to represent the Soviet Union. UNC has represented Russia . three times in the model Security Council (which meets in Virginia each year), and this, Hadden thinks, is why she was given the choice. Interviews for the 12 com mittee positions will be held - Jan, 23-30. Interested students may contact Hadden or Charles Gowen, Di-Phi vice president, at 13 Old West, or by calling 933-1066.
