Number 137 CHAPEL HILL, NORTH CAROLINA,, FBIDAY, MARCH 29. 1968 Founded February 23, 1833 Or m f I '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. r 1st Sfadent Flammed Course For Credit " r ft r 1 y " ' By RICK GRAY of The Daily Tar Heel Staff A student planned course has been approved 2s a course to be offered for three hours of credit next fall. The student initiated course on urban problems will be of fered to the campus for credit for the first time in the history of the University. Planned by sophomore Roger Thorn pson's Experimental' College course on urban pro blems, the course has been given the okay as a political science elective by Dr. Fred Cleveland, head of the political science department. Thompason designed his ex perimental college course to plan the course for next fall under the authorization of a directive from the Chancellor's Advisory Committee Teaching and Curriculum. on 4- Travis Names 2 For Court Mrs. Diane Vincent talks about passive method of defense W ithdrawal Frou Planned To Protest ; War Society hJm lip Sails! dar 5?rrl World News BRIEFS By United Prt International 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. By JIM WILKINSON 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. By DICK TAYLOR 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".
