Interviews for delegates to
the National Student Associa
tion's Spring Regional Con
ference and alternates to
NSA's National Student
Congress will be held Monday
through Wednesday 3-5 p.m.
on the second floor of Graham
Memorial.
Charles Jeffress, NSA cam
pus coordinator, said the only
requirements for the positions
are "a desire to go" and an
interest in the issues to be
discussed at the meetings.
He will select seven voting
delegates from the interviews
and a total of 10-12 represen
tatives from Carolina will at
tend the May 3-4 regional con
ference. With the exception of
regional NSA officers, anyone
who wishes to participate in
the conference must be in
terviewed. The seven alternates to the
National Congress are chosen
by the President of the student
body, after being recom
mended by Jeffress' interview
reports.
Four major seminars will
be conducted at the regional
conference o n educational
reform, student activism, stu
dent legal rights and the racial
situation in the South and col
lege Students' involvement in
it.
The regional conference will
be hosted by Belmont Abbey
College at Belmont Abbey,
near Charlotte.
All expenses of the delegates
will be paid by the UNC NSA,
except for breakfast and lunch
on May 4. The delegates will
leave Chapel Hill at 2 p.m.

and MacDowell Streets, where

Pritchard, who applied for
a 1-0 (conscientious objector)
classification, had that plea
turned down despite the fact
his hearings officer in the
Justice Department had
recommended to the state ap
peal board that he be granted
the 1-0.
The state board voted
unanimously to deny him 1-0
status, and thus he was denied
a presidential appeal.
Pritchard first applied for
the 1-0 three years ago and
was at first turned down by
hia local draft board.
He based his appeal on his
religious belief. His father is
a minister in the Methodist
Church.
According to Vlasits, outside
of the traditional peace
churches, the Methodist
Church is the strongest Protes
tant denomination in terms of
conscientious objectors.
The traditional peace
churches, Vlasits said, are the
Quaker, the Mennonite, the
Bretheren, and Jehovah's
Witnesses.
Pritchard who majored in
nuclear engineering, has work
ed at odd jobs since his
graduation, drifting in and out
of Durham, according to
Vlasits.
"He has been trying to find
his place," Vlasits explained.

In recent years the civil
rights movement has taken a
different tack from the earlier
protests. The passive
resistance of the late Dr.
Martin Luther King has
become more militant.
This militance has frightened
whites; they feel that black
leaders like H. Rap Brown
and Stokely Carmichael are
advocating violence in their
eyes the approach has now
become "Burn, Baby, Burn."
One of these militant black
leaders is Howard Fuller.
Fuller is a worker for Opera
tion Breakthrough in Durham,
a branch of the Office of
Economic Opportunity.
In the past year. Fuller has
drawn criticism from whites
for his activities.
Last summer, he was
suspended from his job after
a protest march he led
resulted in several broken'
store windows.
The blacks were marching
"By killing Martin Luther
King they are not going to
stop us," he said. "There is a

system of red tape that creates
impressive titles but does
nothing to benefit the
students.
"Although there is talk of
progress in the Residence
College program, much still
needs to be done. We can
bring new meaning to old dorm
life only if we ACT rather
than congratulate ourselves on
what we have already ac
complished. ' ;
t"The . Experimental College ;
" offers s small glimmer of hope ft
for educational reform, but its
scope is still severely limited.
It is now time to put the
knowledge we have gained in
this experiment to work in
the regular academic cur
riculum, thus opening its. op-;
portunities to the entire stu
dent body.
"In the realm of women's
rules and honor councils, the
time has come to face the
truth. There is a revolution
in morals throughout America
and the university has failed
to keep pace with the new
evaluations of good taste and
common sense.
"With these ideas we can
bring a year of concrete In
novation and imaginative
change to our campus. I would
appreciate your support in br
inging a new day to Student
Government."
The other candidate. Jed
Dietz said: "As I have moved
around this campus, I have
found that most students are
concerned with three things:
one is social life which
brings relaxation from the
academic part, one is student
services and the other is their
education. I think we have
made some encouraging pro

have done very poorly in the
other two areas. Let me ex

Hayti, a predominantly Negro
area in the southeastern part
of Durham.
Their aims were to get bet

more of those streets paved;, to
have something done about
landlords who neglected their
property in the area.
The blacks marched on a
Wednesday and Thursday night
in August. The first night some
of the marchers overturned
garbage cans and several win
dows were smashed in
downtown Durham.
The second night the blacks
marched under the watchful
eyes of the whole Durham
police force and several hun
dred National Guardsmen with
bayonets drawn.
After the marches, Fuller
spoke to the marchers.
"You did real well out
there," he said. "I think we

plain:
"When a student leaves the
academic side of the campus,
he tries to find a way in
which he can relax. The center
of social life on this campus
lies within the f r a t e r n i t y
system, and the rest of this
campus is given third-rate
treatment. (To check that out,
ask yourselves how many suc
cessful big dances have been
planned for the Residence
College student.) This is a pro

long. 'Do it gradually,' has
been the slogan. My goal is
to make it possible for any
student who wishes to join
fully in fraternity life on this
campus. That is not to say
that fraternities must accept
into the brotherhood any stu-
dent. It is to say that we
must create new fraternities
in sufficient numbers to ac
comodate the new demand.
"In student services, my ad
ministration will make dt possi

any used book. This can be
easily arranged through any
of a number of book selling

"Black power is black

The week after the marches,
Fuller was suspended from his
job. - The grounds were that
he had driven some of the
marchers to St. Joseph's AME
Church, where the marches
began, in U.S. Government
cars.
Fuller was later cleared of
the charges.
Fuller kept up his activities
in Durham; he also made trips
to other North Carolina cities
to help organize the blacks
there.
The next time Fuller ap
peared in the news was last
fall when he became a part
time lecturer at UNC.
Fuller taught once a week;
he discussed community
organization with his classes.
One girl in the class said that
he was an excellent teacher.
There were protests that a
"known agitator" should not

RALEIGH "We can't be

Ralph Abernathy, Martin Lu-
ther King's successor as the
chairman of SCLC.
. Abernathy spoke to about
2000 people who attended a
rally supporting Dr. Reginald
Hawkins candidacy for gover
nor. The rally was originally
scheduled to be held on the
grounds of the capitol building
here, but was moved to a site
several blocks away. No reason
was given, but the speakers
implied that the location was
refused for racial reasons.
Abernathy spoke about the
assassination of Dr. Martin
Luther King.
"By killing Martin Luther
King they are not going to
stop us," he said. "There is a
conspiracy to pick off our
leaders one by one.
"I won't stop for one second
not one second will be lost
in the task of freeing the
black man."
Abernathy then made an em
otional appeal to the crowd.
"Next Saturday, May 4. one
month to the day since Martin
Luther King was killed, is the
day to make a memorial to
Martin Luther King," he said.
"I hope every black person
and every white person in
North Carolina will vote ear

said that Fuller was a "fully

Fuller was later forced to
resign because of personal
reasons.
In February, Fuller was ar
rested while leading a march
to protest the "Orangeburg
Massacre." He was charged
with assaulting a police officer
and resisting arrest.
Fuller discussed the incident
Friday.
"It was a cold night, so
some people decided to light
fires to keep warm," he said.
"Well, the fire department
decided that we might burn
the bricks around there, so
they decided to put it out.
"First they tried to walk
through the crowd with a small
hose. They couldn't get
through so they decided to
use a high pressure hose."
The police then decided to
disperse the crowd, according
to Fuller. They advanced upon

An Hour Today
By RICK GRAY
of The Daily Tar HeeLStaft
It's that time of the year
again.
Everybody is, as of this
morning, in total confusion,
and it's not because of what
they did Saturday night.
As of one a.m. this morning,
the entire nation, with the exception-
of Hawaii of Arizona
set their clock ahead to two
a.m. to switch to that infernal
invention of this mechanized
industrial age Daylight sav
ings Time.
The time system is designed
to allow an extra hour of
labor force can get off work
daylight so that the nation's
ana go nome witn tne sun
still in the sky so that, the
men can stretch out in the
hammock and sip a few suds
before suppertime.
Ideally, the system provides
an extra hour of daylight to
give families more time to
do things together, like rfant
the garden, mow the lawn or
stretch out in that hammock.
But it doesn't work that
way.
At least not around these
parts.
Here it makes people wonder
v'hat time girls closing hours
are what in the world that
bell is doing ringing ten
minutes late, why isn't that
eight o'clock class meeting
when it is only 8:05, etc.
According to Physical Plant
Director C.S. Waters, the
clocks around campus and
many of the bells in the
classroom building will be off
schedule.
They'll be ringing anywhere
from ten to fifteen minutes
with the ends of their,
nightsticks.
"This policeman was stick
ing me in the stomach with
his stick,' Fuller said. "It was
bothering me so I brushed his
stick with my hand. The next
thing I knew, I was bent over
backwards on a police
car some policeman had his
stick against my throat and
two otners were holding my
arms."
Fuller said that he was
charged with assault on a
police officer and resisting ar
rest. The assault charge
originally claimed that the of
ficer had been punched in the
mouth by Fuller.
Later it was changed so that
the policeman had been struck
by Fuller's elbow instead of
his fist, since there were no
marks on the man's face.
Fuller was acquitted of the
assault charge and convicted
of resisting arrest. He is ap
pealing the conviction.
Fuller implied that he might
have been arrested because
top
(the maximum amount a wel-
fare recipient can earn) in the
state is $1723 per year.
'This maximum keeps our
people poor and dependent on
the welfare of the federal gov
ernment," he said.
'The problems facing us in
the United States today are
those of poverty, racism and
disease," he continued. "The
cure is nothing more than jobs
and income.
That's why the poor people
wQl build camps and shanties;
that's why they will go to
Washington, D.C.; that's why
I will take 100 poor people to
the leaders of government on
Monday.
"We're demanding jobs and
income right now.
"We're going to tell Con
gress that you won't begin any
new business until you finish
old business , he said.
Abernathy said that the fed-
eral government controls the
jails, the national guard and
the troops.
"Our job is to get to jail;
theirs is to put us in jail." he
said. "I hope they can do
their job as well as we do

.The Department of
Transportation was gracious '
enough to set up this method
of switch-over for Indiana:
All of the counties, with the
exception of six around
Chicago and six around
Evansville, Ind., all on the
western side of the state, can
remain on Eastern Standard
Time. The 12 exempted coun-
ties can move their clocks up
from Central Standard to Cen
tral Daylight Time, placing all
of the state's clocks in
harmony.
In Michigan things go like
this:
The Upper Peninsula is in
the Central time zone, but four
counties in the eastern half
of the peninsula have remained
on Eastern time. They went
on EDT today. The other coun-
ties are on Central Standard
Time.
The Lower Peninsula of
Michigan is in the Eastern
zone, but the board O f
supervisors of Berrien County
(Benton Harbor) in the
southwest corner of that
peninsula has voted to stay
on EST.

of his activites with the blacks
in Durham.
Perhaps Mrs. Sandy Sellers
best described this 'police
persecution." She said that her
husband is known by most
policemen.
"When he hears someone say
There's that SXCC guy' he
gets down fast and crawls
behind a rock or a car or
a blade of grass-anything."
Most recently, Fuller was
commended by the Durham
City Council because he
dissuaded the blacks from'
marching the night Dr. Martin
Luther King was assassinated.
I didn't want them to go
because eighty percent of the
people who gathered there
were women- If there were
people who wanted to throw
rocks during the march, there
would have been worse trouble
with all those women
around."
This action is an example
of his philosophy situation ad
vocacy, or doing what the
situation calls for.
