VP Candidate DTH News Analysis UP Will By RICK GRAY of The Daily Tar Heel Staff University Party leaders are apprehensive about tonight's nominating convention which is scheduled for 7 p.m. in Memorial Hall. The presidential nomination will probably go to Ken Day, but there is some talk making the rounds of the second floor of GM that members of the Student Party will make an at tempt to "pay the UP back" for. the scare some of their number threw into the Jed Dietz camp by "packing" the SP convention. Day's name is the only one that has been mentioned as a choice for president since the middle of last week when a group of the UP leaders band ed together to draft him to run against Jed Dietz. No one will say for sure that Day has the nomination, but barring outside intervention, there is no other presidential candidate that is considered a strong threat to him. The battle for the vice presidential nomination is a different story. Charlie Mercer, who some said last week did not know what he wanted to run for, is being mentioned as perhaps the strongest candidate for the veep's nod. Ken McAllister, president of the freshman class, is being talked about as a possible dark horse. And then there is always dick uevy. uevy nas been en dorsed by the Publications Board to run for Editor of The Daily Tar Heel, but he will not say for sure what office he will ErXffl seek.

The workmen, a c r a n e operator ? and his assistant, were working on their own time when the accident oc curred, according to A.S. Waters, director of con struction and engineering for the University. No names were released. Waters said that the men were probably rigging the crane for the next day's work when "apparently the man raised his crane boom and hit the high voltage line." The two were taken to N.C.

George Vlasits, student draft protester, rescheduled t the demonstration for March 11, the newly planned time for Clark's speech. The demonstration had been scheduled for 1 p.m. to protest the trial of Dr. Benjamin Spock and the killing of three students in Orangeburg, S.C. Fifty demonstrators, mostly students had gathered at about noon. Posters urging federal trials for the police involved in the Orangeburg incident and comparing the Johnson ad ministration to Nazi Germany were being fixed to sticks, when news of Clark's can cellation reached the crowd. Vlasits immediately went to an outdoor microphone, and formally rescheduled the demonstration for 1 p.m "next Monday." The crowd started dispersing and was gone in fifteen minutes. Vlasits said the purpose of the demonstration was to "raise some doubts about the administration in the minds of "Clark is a representative of the administration. He is hav ing his lawyers try these peo ple (Spock and fellow demonstrators). He also sup ports Hershey in the draft policy or he wouldn't be doing this," said Vlasits.

"We really made a mistake to have the women work for five months, then submit the resolution," said Miss Rose. "It's better especially in matters of great importance if you get student-faculty boards to work immediately. , That way you have more coopera tion and more authority.' Miss Rose said the policy that the WRC had followed was largely responsible for the block of communications that was one of the major problems in earlier consideration of the matter. "Earlier I said the final decision was made behind clos ed doors," said Miss Jiose. "I wish to retract this statement. There was much that was Signs Were DJscarded . .

The meeting win be at 2:00 p.m. in Roland Parker II and IH. All interested students are invited to attend. According to Randy Myer, Men's Attorney General and one of- the originators of the proposal, the Coed Court would handle all honor violations and the present Men's and Women's Honor Courts would have jurisdiction over Campus Code offenses. The working draft for the new system provides for a rotating membership on the Coed Court, drawing jurors from the 19-member Men's Court and 14-member Women's Court. The Chairman of the Men's Court would be the Chairman for all cases involving males, and the Women's Court Chairman would chair all female cases. A quorum would consist of seven or nine members, to be determined by the c o -Chairmen. The draft provides that there shall be a minimum of three members of each sex sitting on each case, tne case, tne sex of the re- mammg jurors to be left to the ui&crenun oi me co- Chairmen. misleading on both sides in this matter." Miss Rose said there was no longer a block in com munications between the WRC and the administration. "I'm really encouraged by what happened today," said Miss Rose. In a statement released Thursday, Sitterson said he had considered an earlier WRC recommendation for s e 1 f -limiting hours and was unable to approve it. The statement added that University housing for women must have closing hours. Miss Rose said the statement about closing hours merely meant the dorm must close and the doors be locked. It does not mean, she said that coeds have to be inside. Monday To Show. Congress. SSOC organized the demonstrations to protest the federal administration's hand!- ing of spook's trial ana tne Orangeburg incident. The Men's Residence Council Court would be redistricted to give two members to each residence college, instead of one .member from each residence hall, the present system. The MRC Court would han dle all violations of Residence Hall Regulations, as it does now. Myer said that the basis for the new system is the elimina tion of the differences in philosophies, and therefore in the penalties handed down, between the existing courts. The Coed Court would be empowered to hand down suspension penalties, as well as all other penalties now used. The Faculty Review Board would stUl have final appelate jurisdiction. The proposal, along with any changes recommended at the discussion, will be presented to the Student Legislature. If passed by the Legislature, the proposal will be presented to the student body in the form of a referendum. The new system would be implemented if it receives stu dent and administration ap proval. The originators of the pro posal are Laura Owens, Women's Attorney General, Howard Miller. MHC Chairman, Ben Hawfield, MHC Vice-chairman, Bin Mffler. lurxuer xkinv unairman ana Myer. . 1 ...
