what Travis called "the
number one problem on colle ge

usage."
Travis also revealed that
under the policy, if it 5s ap
proved, all cases with
psychiatric overtones will be
(handled by the five man
board.
.Ftormerly they have been
handled by the administration
at the request of toe":, honor

Travis said Chancellor J.
Carlyle Slitterson and Universi

had assured him that the
jdm3jiisfration. would "alow
the representatives of the
students ample time to make
their feelings known before
they. take any major steps to
bring a new policy toward drug
abuse before the trustees for
their approval."
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

That's bow it felt Tuesday

a stream of Del-Defend into
my face from about eight feet
away.
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

firm, after deciding agaonst the
purchase of another aerosol

of a judicial panel with

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

THE 500 COEDS gathered in
Gerrard Hall about 6:30. as
sleet pelted them and iced the
brick - sidewalks. They came,
many of them wearing slacks
to protect against the biting
cold.
Karen Freeman, a Charlotte
sophomore who organized the
march, told the girls to muster
-their reasons for not wanting

Travis cited two reasons why
he thought drug usage is the
majbr problem on college cam-
puses. .
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."

legislature was given, Travis
. said, was one that had been ar

Other North Carolina

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.

of aerosol spray by police
forces will 'probably lessen

MANY GIRLS left the meet

that there was cot an available

five or so remained for an
additional hour to debate the
proposal with WRC.

freshman in favor of extending
the policy change all the way
down.
"A university is supposed to

'closing hours doesn't prepare
you for anything except life
. in an ivory tower community,"
said another.
The arguments, pro and con,
continued.
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 members of this body
must respond to this issue to

sitting on the floor. "This is
a mandate."
Miss Rose cautioned the
council members to vote by
. their own consciences, and not
to try to second guess the Ad

acceptable to it.
"I think we ought to vite by

By HUNTER GEORGE

C onsolidated University - President
William Friday quickly defended
Professor Lewis Lipsitz Tuesday against
a politician's demand that he be fired for
remarks he made cn the Vietnam War'.
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.

"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.

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

Lipsitz could net be reached for com

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.
