Georgia Governor Lester
Maddox called for Democratic
party unity Wednesday night
above sporadic hissing and
placard waving by members
of the Blade Student Move
ment. "You can't clean the house
by standing out in the yard or
m another yard," the balding,
bespectacled Maddox told the
standing-room-only crowd of
1,000 students who filled Car
roll Ilall.
He told the students that
they should change what they
dislike agout the party by
working wihin it, instead of
bolting it.
The Democratic party has
always been the party of the
people, and as such it is a
powerful force" he said.
"But it is a powerful force
only when it is united."
The governor, who has been
attacked by many for his axe-handle-in-hand
stand against
the integration of his Atlanta
restaurant in 1964. spoke
Citing the election of
Republicans to several posts
previously held by Democrats,
Maddox called for the
Democrats in the nation to
before a standing room only unite and "Clean up our own
nouse.
''My fellow Democrats," he
said, "this (the defeats suf
fered by the party) is not
just a faint cry in the
distance.

Manekin Named
SP Chairman
By RICK GRAY
of The Daily Tar Heel Staff
Bob Manekin, vice-chairman
of the Student Party, has been
named to suceed Bob Farris
as Chairman.
Farris resigned his position
Tuesday in a letter to the
editor of The Daily Tar Heel.
He said he was resigning
because he felt ...he. . could not
support the party's candidate,
Jed Dietz.
Farris endorsed the can
didacy of Ken Day, University
Party opponent of Dietz in
Tuesday's upcoming runoff
election.
Manekin will be temporary
chairman and serve until after
Tuesday's vote. Permanent of
ficers will be voted on by
the party after the elections.
Manekin Wednesday said
Farris resignation was "pure
ly political."
"The people on this campus
are not blind," he said. "The
majority of them recognize
this move as a political trick.
As for the swelling number
since February 26," Manekin
continued, "that Dietz was the
party's candidate. If he knew
that he could not support
Dietz, he should have resigned
then, not one week before the
runoff."
rne 160 touiion dollars in
aid asd interest on foreign
aid is enough to wipe out every
ghetto in America, or enough
to pave every road ever paved
in our Country," he said.
"Americans think that if we
are to fight communism in
Vietnam, then we should not
feed, dome, house and finance
it in Washington and other
parte of the world and sur
render to it in Cuba.
"They want the federal
government to relinquish its
strangle hold upon education
and return it to the local peo
ple. "The taxpayers want fiscal
responsibility restored in this
country."'

all of the voices that speak,
Maddox continued. .
However, he added, the
voices of the ultra-c?on-v
servatives and the ultra--liberals
"must not be allowed
to drown out all others."
Maddox stated that his ad
ministration had listened to all
voices and had appointed the
speakers of opinions different
from his own to key positions
in his adniinistration.
"I urge the national
Democratic Party. . .to do
likewise," he ended his speech,
"or face what I believe will
be political doom in November,
1963."
Maddox also stated that
when asked "How can you
bear to stay in a party that
includes the likes of Kennedy,
Humphrey and Johnson?" he
replied:
"How can I make any im
provement, whatsoever, by
changing from the party of
Johnson, Kennedy and
Humphrey, and joining the
party of (Jacob) Javits,
Rockefeller, and Earl War
ren." In his opening remarks he
told the gathering that they
did not remember the days
of the depression.
"I do,"" he said, "I
remember those Republican
days."

Wednesday that attendance at
tonight's meeting of orientation

Johnson Strategy
Is' Bombing Halt9
WASHINGTON -(UP
I) Mounting evidence in
dicated Wednesday that the
Johnson administration's Viet
nam peace strategy is headed
'.award an indefinite halt of
all bombing of North Vietnam
if Hanoi negotiates seriously.
U.S. military commanders
have told the administration
they believe the United States
is in a strong enough position
in South Vietnam to assume
the risks of an indefinite bom
bing pause.
In the highest level strategy
conferences within the ad
ministration, it was learned,
there has been no discussion
of any "time-limit" bombing
pause for a set number of
days, waeks, or months.
Adniinistration sources
privately speak of the possibili
ty of a complete bombing halt
in these terms: If negotiations
start; if the President crders
a complete bombing halt; if
under the "San Antonio
Formula" the United States
"assumes" Hanoi won't take
advantage of this; and if North
Vietnam does not in fact take
advantage of it then the
United States could be ex
pe'ed to withhold bombing in
definitely as long as there ap
peared to be progress in
negotiations. .
In other words, if Hanoi ap
peared to be really interested
In peace, theUJS. air raids
would be called off for as
long as there was any hope
for peace
ministration thinking.
One thing to note is that
current administration talk is
loaded with numerous 4,ifs"
and phrases like "as long as".
The United States, obviously,
is keeping its options open.
Basically this is but another
way of restating the "San
three separate sessions
icnight. In the past, all
trainees have been brought
together for mass meetings in
Memorial Hall and Carroll
Hall. The difficulty of com
municating successfully with
such a large group led plan
ners to devise a new system
for use this year.
Instead of single sessions,
trainees will meet in separate,
smaller groups this year. Men
wlKse names begin with the
tetters A through J will meet
in H well Hall at 7:00 p.m.
. Men whose names begin with
the letters K through Z will
meot in the same place but
sn .iour and a half later, at
8:30 yjn. All women will meet
in Canoll Hall at 7:00 p.m.
The sessions are designed
to last approximately forty-five
minutes. Planners feel this is
enough time to get the im
portant details of the orien
tation program across to
trainees. They have also
reduced the number of total
sessions from four to three.
The men's sessions tonight
will be conducted by Bob
Wilson, Men's Counselor
Trainer. The women's session
will be led by Julie Jcnes,
women's orientation
coordinator, and Judi McCon
nell. Women's Counselor
Trainer.
The meeting tonight will
cover two specific areas: the
honor system and student extra-curricular
activities.
Howard Miller. Chairman of
the Men's Honor Court, will
address the men's sessions.
Other speakers will address
the trainees on the approach
counselors should take in in
forming their couselees about
extra-curricular programs at
N.C.
Trainees will be asked to
assume an objective position
in discussing non-academic
student, activities with their
counselees. In the past, some
counselors have engaged in
personal evaluation of extra
curricular activities.

"This will be an attempt to

tivities covering the four ma
jor issues in our society: pov
erty, the war, the draft, and
racism."
Thus spoke Sam Austell Wed
nesday, coordinator for the
moratorium of classes set for -Friday.--
The day-long boycott to take
place in Polk Place in conjunc
tion with similar actions on
campuses across the nation
and world, will include a line
up of speeches, rallies, for
ums, seminars, sing-ins, poet
ry readings, and films.
The strike was set up
because "we feel that
America's involvement in the
Vietnamese War and our
governments use of the Selec
tive Service System to force
young men to fight in that
war is an injustice," according
to a policy statement issued
by Austell.
The statement also explains
that t he war ' d i v e r t s
resources necessary to solve
the basic domestic social pro
blems of our nation poverty
and social justice for
Blacks."
Austell feels it "necessary
to protest these acts and to
attempt to inform ourselves
and those around us of the
nature of our government's ac
tions." s, , ,
. He emphasizes that the
moratorium "must not be con
strued as a strike against the
University, but a form of pro
test against our government's
actions."
The strike will be an attempt
to "suspend our normal ac
tivities as an indication of our
cjoncern over the killing in
Vietnam." he said.
Austell has asked that
University professors and in
structors devote some class
time this week to the issue
of the Viet war.
In a statement Tuesday,
Chancellor J. Carlyle Sitterson
said the alministration has
"no plans to suspend classes"
in response to the proposed
class boycott.
He said he thinks the protest
will be a demonstration of "an
i ntellectual community ex
am ing matters of national con
cern." Austell has tentative plans
to send a petition signed by
founders of the Students for
a Democratic Society, writer,
and one of the leading op
ponents of the present foreign
policy of the United States.

By LOUISE JENNINGS
of The Daily Tar Heel Staff
Mike Shannon, a freshman
from Philadelphia is the new
National Inter-Collegiate Con
tinous Broadcasting Cham
pion. Two weeks ago Shannon
completed a broadcasting
marathon of 130 hours break
ing the 126 hour 40 minute
record set last April at the
University of Redlands in
California.
Since then Shannon has been
written up by national wire
management is sponsoring a
"Mike hannon night" on the
night of his choice. All Gran
ville residents will be given
a steak dinner in his honor.
Shannon decided to challenge
the previous record when he
saw an announcement that had
been on a Granville Towers
bulletin board for months.
He decided to broadcast
through WILD the Granville
Residence College radio sta
tion. No Doz and the Gondola
Restaurant sponsored him.
Shannon began at noon the
in a speech m that Texas
city Sept. 29.
Johnson said: "The United
States is willing to stop all
aerial and naval bombardment
of North Vietnam when this
will lead promptly to pro
ductive discussions. We of
course assume that while
discussions proceed North
Vietnam would not take ad
vantage of the bombing cessa
tion or limitation."
On March 31, President
Johnson limited bombing of
North Vietnam south of the
20th Parallel. Since April 5,
it has in fact been kept below
the 19th Parallel.
One thing the government
has not said is how much
North Vietnamese infiltration
into the South it would tolerate
in a bombing halt before con
cluding Hanoi was "taking ad
vantage" of it. During 1S67,
the average m o n t h 1 y in
ffltxation rate was 6,000 men.

academic officials hostage
Wednesday and took over the
college president's office,
Counter-demonstrators threw
eggs and shouted insults at
fellow students.
Campus police sealed off all
but two gates to the campus
to try to prevent violence.
The students released Henry
S. Coleman, an acting Colum

Wednesday afternoon after
holding them for almost 24
hours. Coleman said they were
not harmed or threatened and
were given "more food than
we could eat."
Several state and city of
ficials rushed to the campus
to persuade about 110 students
to give up their sit-ins in
Hamilton Hall, an eight-story
building, and stately . Low
Memorial building, the nearby
hub of the campus. The 16,000
student university apparently
refused to deal with protest
leaders until the sit-ins were
ended.
"Let us handle this," Dr.
Alexander B. Piatt, associate
dean of student affairs, told
the co unter-demonstrators
through a bullhorn.
"If you try to do it
yourselves, there will be
violence and we can't afford
violence at this time or any
time."

students sent several demands
to Dr. Grayson Kirk. Columbia

office when it was seized early
Wednesday, the main issues
centered on racial issues.
About 80 Negro students who
held Hamilton Hall protested
the erection of a university
gymnasium on prime Harlem

about 150 whites at Low

gym and the school's
