This can be done by proper utiliza tion of the student body president's influential posi tion." The candidates for editor of The Daily Tar Heel are also promising change. Their change is in the form of ex panded coverage of the University and the world.

Chapel Hill Stays Quiet DTH Staff Photo by MIKE McGOWAN Mourners Line Franklin Street Speaker Debate Proposal Denied By Faculty Council Eight Dorm Coeds Honored By C WC By MARY BURCH of The Dally Tar Heel Staff The faculty council defeated the speaker debate and tabled the student lottery bill in Fridav's meeting. The speaker debate bill, which would require an off campus organization which recruits on campus to discuss the organization's issues in an open forum, was defeated in a voice vote by a two-third's majority. Prof. William F.leming who presented the bill said the main arguments against the bill were that it was ad ministratively unworkable and that it would entail a high cost to the University in having recruiters turn down the offer to recruit here. "The bill was not to prevent organizations from recruiting here, but simply to ask them to discuss, not debate, their issues," Fleming said. "In turning down the bill, UNC took a position against education in favor of society which is collapsing around our ears," he added. The draft lottery bill, which had been presented before the National Council of Graduate Schools, was tabled until the next meeting. The bill, presented by Prof. Jay Glasser, has four main points: It reaffirmed that the necessity of military service should be born by all It stated that there should be no favored academic categories in deferment (such as medical fields over the humanities It reaffirmed the tion in the educational process to the universities and in dividuals that draft policies cause It advocated a random lottery-type approach to the draft. At age 19 every student would undergo a random lot tery. If the student's : name was not drawn, he would con tinue his undergraduate studies without draft worries. After graduation he would undergo another lottery whereby if again exempted he would be able to continue uninterrupted graduate study. The main arguments ac- disnm- cording to Glasser came from r t. j j Professors Gulick and Adams who objected that the bill presumed that the faculty was endorsing military service and that the lottery system was not fair to all. Senior Coed Injured A senior nursing student at UNC, Miss Lois Kay Parting of 1028 W. South St., Raleigh, was injured in an automobile accident Thursday morning on N.C. 54 in Alamance County.

JL By GENE WANG of The Daily Tar Heel Staff Police Chief William Blake said Saturday afternoon that Friday night's voluntary curfew had been fairly ef fective and there had been only one incident during the night. The "curfew" was simply a request to town merchants that they close at 8 p.m. Fri day night in an effort to keep people home and avoid any chance of trouble. Restaurants and theaters in the downtown area complied with the request, Blake said, but several restaurants on the outskirts of town remained open. "When the other people found .out, we couldn't really ask them to close again," he said, "but we're ready in case of any trouble." The four had gone to Virginia to buy it and had four gallons in the car; the driver was charged with possession of an excessive amount of liquor. (The legal limit is one gallon per person.) Blake also pointed out that the re-sale of beer in town is illegal under the liquor sales ban. Prices on the Chapel Hill black market ranged from 50 cents to one dollar for a short can. Blake said that the Police Department had been notified of the route of today's march from Y Court to the First Baptist Church on Roberson Street. Blake himself had sat in on the planning session for the march and memorial services for Dr. Martin Luther King. He was somewhat worried about a rally planned by the Black Students after the services, but felt that since it would it would be late af ternoon, the problem would not be too acute. "The only real trouble we had happened when a white , :Ji. couple was going down of Nurse's Dorm and was a Chairman of WRC during the summer session. She is a member of the Student Nurses Association and the Morrison Residence College Executive Board. Twenty eight women were nominated. They submitted recommendations from their housemothers and from friends. The eight were selected by a student-faculty committee of representatives from several campus organiza tions. They will be honored at a tea given by CWC April 28. At the tea a trophy will be awarded for the most of WRC. She accompanied outstanding women's dorm ana. Dean Carmichael on a tour the most outstanding dorm of schools in North Carolina, working with a residence col Georgia, and West Virginia to lege. Graham Street to Franklin, street he continued. "They passed by a pool hall in the colored section and someone threw a brick at them and smashed the windshield." Blake felt that the incident was potentially an explosive one; "No one was hurt seriously and fortunately it started raining hard about then, so nothing came of it." Chief Blake spoke of the li quor sales ban imposed by Governor Moore: "One fraternity is having a formal tonight and they ordered and paid for the champagne; it came but they can't get it because of the ban." Blake also said mat four students had been arrested by the County. Sheriffs Depart ment for a liquor violation. 1 ., - .
