'Scratch, Bite
Kick And' Jab9
Are Defenses
University Approves
By MARY BURCH
of The Dally Tar Heel Staff
What can a woman do if
she is attacked?
She cankick, in a well aimed
spot, she can claw at the eyes,
she can bite or jab, but most
important she should scream
bloody murder and try to get
away.
These ideas were presorted
Thursday in a pro grim
sponsored by the Dean of
Women's office on defense.
The program consisted of
a movie entitled "Attack" and
a discussion on George
Hunter's book How To Defend
Yourself. Your Family and
Your Home, presenting dif
ferent but correlating ideas.
The movie, sponsored by the
State Board of Health, em
emphaeized the importance of
screaming and using force.
"The use of violence is unap
pealing to a woman," said the
narrator in the movie. "It is
unappealing to try to injure
someone, but your life may
depend upon your ability to
use force."
Rape, murder and theft
crime rates have risen five
times as fast as the population
explosion in the last few years.
Crimes involving women are
on the rise. The woman must
know how to defend herself,
he said.
The movie presented possi
ble defenses a woman can use
which do not require a great
amount of skill. '
THE SHIN-INSTEP defense:
the woman turns if she is
attacked from behind and
rakes her shoe heels down the
shin into the instep of her
cts S2l 11 ciii!
ELBOW JAB defense: the
woman turns and jabs her
. elbow into the stomach of her
assailant.
THE KNEE raise: the
woman jabs her knee into th
groin area of attacker
FACE SCRATCHING: the
woman digs her fingernails ir
to face, particularly the eyes,
of her attacker.
THE BITE: particularly ef
fective if the assailant is trying
to gag the woman.
The movie emphasied he
importance of avoiding an at
tack. A woman should never
go out alone at night. If she
must go out, she should avoid
dark streets and poorly lighted
parking areas. When riding
alone in a car, she should
remember to keepall windows
raised and all doors locked.
There are many potential
weapons a woman carries in
her purse such as a nail file,
lipstick, a comb, a pencil
or pen which could be used
to stab, particularly at t h e
eyes of her assailant.
"Be violent," emphasized the
movie. "Put everything you
have in whatever defense you
use. Your life depends upon
it."
Mrs. Diana Vincent
presented a slightly different ,
viewpoint based on the book,
How To Defend Yourself, Your
Family and Your Home. .
Mrs. Vincent emphasized the
importance of avoiding
violence even if it means sub
mission. A handbag with a
few bills in it is less important
than risking your life.
'An average male has twice
the stiength of the average
female because of his physi
que," she said. "Unless the
woman has a great deal of
strength, she may only anger
her attacker and risk her
life."
Mrs. Vincent pointed out that
the teenager is twice as
dangerous as the professional
thief. The teenager is jittery.
He will more likely attempt
murder if he meets resistence,
she noted.
The liquid repellents on the
market today t;j good for
ward-ng off an attack, but
often there is not enough time
to get anything out of the
purse, Mrs. Vincent said.
"Every U.S. citien has the
right to bear arms," she said,
"but this does not mea n con
cealed weapons. You can be
prosecuted for carrying a
gun."
In the discussion following
, the movie and book . review,
the UNC Judo instructor, who
was among the JO people who
attended, said the recom
mended a woman attempt to
defend herself rather than sub
mit. "It's difficult to tell a woman
how to defend herself," he
said. "We do ot know if it's
better to submit. The FBI and
other authorities are presently
studying the criminal mind in
hopes of learning what is best
in terms of the way these
people operate."
"I think a woman should
defend herself if at all possible
using some of the techniques
demonstrated in the movie,"
he said.

BRIEFS

By RICK GRAY T "
of The Daily! Tar Heel Staff , ,
The nationwide protest of the
war in Vietnam 'scheduled for
April 26 will be a "withdrawal
from society."
Sam Austell, spokesman for
the coalition of campus groups
that is supporting the protest
said Thursday that the protest
will provide a way for students
to withdraw from society.
"Since the University is the
only society that the students
have, in order to register our
protest, we will withdraw from
the University, stepping out
of our everyday life," he
said.
Austell and Charles Jeffress
are working with the members
of several campus groups to
coordinate efforts against the
war on the Carolina Campus.
The idea of the nationwide
protest was originated , by
several anti-war groups on the
national level, and each in
dividual campus, according to
Austell, is being allowed to
develop their protest in any
manner that they want.
The group here has decided
to ask for a boycott of classes
combined : with a ' day-long
teach-in and speak-out in Polk
Place.
"We want the students
where they can be seen. We
don't want them to sleep late
and Say they are protesting
the war and then go downtown
and drink beer. That won't
work," Austell said. .
At a meeting in Gerrard
Hall Wednesday night, the
coalition delegated
responsibilities to the students
present to plan the teach-in
and speak-out, to recruit more
groups to join the coalition
and to publicize the event.
WUNC To Cover
" "THe group wilT be "trying to
emphasize the fact that they
do not advocate violence and
that the protest is not an at
tack on the University.
"We are just withdrawing
from our society," they say.
The only thing that the
Carolina protest has in com
mon with tiie other protests
throughout the country, Austell
says, is the fact that it is
being held on April 26.
As far as other campuses
involved in the protest are
concerned, .Austell is not sure
what their activities will be.
There may be some protests
at Duke and State and some
of the smaller campuses, but
he is not sure.
Yale staged a protest last
week in which over 3,000
students boycotted class, and
they may do the same thing
in April. But it is not
definite.
Planned for the local protest
are several speakers, protest
singers and several skits.

Special to The Daily Tar Heel-
Student Body President Bob
Travis announced to the Stu
dent Legislature Thursday
night bis appointments to fill
three of four vacancies on the
Supreme Court. The fifth spot
on the court is currently held
by Cherrie Lewis.
Travis announced the
nomination of junior George
Krichbaum for the post of
Chief Justice. The position was
vacated when the original
nominee, Ken Day, withdrew
to run for Student Body Presi
dent. In discussing Krichbaum's
qualifications, Travis said that
he had been in Student
Legislature for three years and
that he "led the crusade to .
;pass: rthe..; bill which . . will,
establish the Supreme
Court."
Krichbaum is also a
Morehead Scholar and
chairman of the President's
Judicial Committee.
Nominees announced to fill
two of three positions . as
Associate Justices on the court
were Tom Benton and Franklin
Freeman.
Benton is presently
chairman of the Judiciary
Committee and Freeman is a
former state president of the
State Student Legislature and
press officer to the speaker
of the legislature.
Benton is a senior and
Freeman is a first-year law
student.
Travis also asked the
Legislature to confirm the
establishment of the Supreme
Court at next week's
meeting.
The Legislature will be ask
ed to pass on the 1968 Supreme
Court Act which outlines the
functional procedure of the
court
Benton, who has been in the
Legislature since April of 1967
and who has been chairman
of the Judiciary Committee
since the fall of 1967, outlined
the purposes and procedure
of the Supreme Court Thurs
day afternoon.
"The Supreme Court will be
the final arbiter in all legal
disputes within the student
judiciary. It will be unique
in that it will consider points
of law concerning appeals
rather than simply hearing
evidence, which is the function
of other courts.
The court will also have
original jurisdiction in con
troversies involving the con
stitutionality or legality of ex
.ecntive or-legislative actions,"
Benton said.
He also said that ' the
Supreme Court would have
original jurisdiction in some
election disputes.
Benton, who was a vital
force in the passage of the
Supreme Court Act as well
as the Drug Policy and the
Financial Reform Bill, said,
"I am very pleased to receive
the appointment and to have
the opportunity to serve in
this manner. I consider this
to be very distinguished court,
and I hope to establish the
portant part of Student
Government."
President Travis said that
he expects the post of Chief
Justice to rank with the posi
tions of Student Body Presi
dent, Daily Tar Heel Editor,
and Vice-President of the S tu
dent Body (Speaker of Student
Legislature) to form a "big
four" of student activities here
on campus.
The committee issued the
"directive at the first of the
semester approving the of
fering o f student-initiated
courses for elective credit next
fall. The course syllabus
however, was to be approved
by the head of the appropriate
department.
A flexible outline has been
adopted by Thompson's class
that calls for 32 speakers, 16
of whom are engaged in urban
problems work, and several
movies on riots, education and
the like.
The course will meet once
a week in a seminar under
the guidance of Thomas Cronin
of the political science depart
ment. The seminars will in
clude discussion, speakers and
movies, according to
Thompson.
He called the courses "new
concept in education at Chapel
Hill," and Buck Goldstein,
director of the Experimental
College, said, "This is what
the Experimental College is
all about."
"This course makes educa
tion much more relevant to
the students' interests,"
Thompson added.
Praising the initiation .of the
course, Goldstein continued,
"The approval of this course
and the Experimental College
have destroyed the myth that
learning can take place only
in the classroom where
. students go in, sit - down and
are told, what to learn." '
Thompson called the course
sort of a demonstration course.
"Whether any other student-initiated
courses are- approved
depends on how this course
works out," he said.
The course will be entitled
Urban Policy Studies and will
include study of such problems
as housing and education. The
participants in the course will
be asked to participate in field
work to inforce the material
discussed in the seminar.
The class will also take
several field trips to study
urban problems first hand.
There will be a meeting in
front of Silent Sam Sunday
afternoon at four for all
students who are either in
terested in this course or in
initiating other courses to be
offered for credit.
Fulbright Files For Re-Election
LITTLE ROCK, Ark Sen. J. William Fulbright, D Ark.,
filed for re-election Thursday and predicted the Democrats
may deny President Johnson renomination unless he changes
his war policy.
But Fulbright said he expected to support the party nominee
after the convention.
The chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee,
long-time leader of the Senate forces opposing administration
policy in Vietnam, said he himself had tried to talk to
Johnson into modifying his views without success.
"I am hopeful he will change his position," Fulbright
said. "I do not expect to bolt the party.
"Unless the President, I think, modifies his policy on
the war he runs an extremely grave risk of not obtaining
the nomination."
Labor Party Suffers Setback
LONDON Britain's ruling Labor party suffered a smashing
setback Thursday in a quartet of crucial Parliamentary by-election.
The not unexpected blow came in the wake of the
nation's biggest psacetime budget and higher taxes.
The massive swing to the opposition Conservative party
in three Midlands constituencies and one m London was
seen by British political experts as a firm reflection of
nationwide discontent with Prime Minister Harold Wilson's
policies and intra-Labor party squabbling.
Labor lost three of the seats being contested and was
thumped in it's bid to gain control of the fourth. It retained
a 74-seat majority in Parliament, however, enough to counter
any motion to unseat the Wilson regime.

Next weeks Carolina Sym
posium, "Red China and the
West", will receive full
coverage by WUNC Radio, the
50,000 watt "Voice of the
University of North
Carolina".
Dale Rhodes, executive-producer
for WUNC's Symposium
coverage said each of the
seven speeches will be carried
live by the station.
Immediately following each
speech, the station will
originate a panel discussion
about the preceding address.
The panel members will
listen to the speeches from
a Swain Hall studio and then
discuss each speech following
its conclusion.
Panel members include:
A WUNC moderator
A faculty member who's
field lies within the area of
the address being discussed
Two students; one from
UNC and one from the
Intercollegiate Seminar
The Intercollegiate Seminar
is a group of students from
other colleges invited by the
Symposium committee to hear
and discuss the speeches.
Some of the Symposium com
mittee to hear and discuss
the speeches. .Some of the
participating schools are Yale,
Harvard, Dartmouth, and Bryn
Mar. , ;
Dr. Robert Gwyn of the
RTVMP Dept. will moderate
three of the panel discussions,
with the other four being
handled by Dave Mayo, a
senior majoring in Political
Science.
Each of the panel discussions
is planned to be from 15-20
minutes long, but Rhodes said
that no restriction will be plac
ed on length.
"We'll let them run as long
as the discussion is interesting,
but we don't want them to
drag on to the point of
boredom."
At 5:45 on Mon., Tues., and
Wed., afternoons, the WUNC
news staff will present a 15
minute "Symposium Digest".
This feature will review all
previous Symposium speeches
up to that time. The "Digest"
