The Daily Tar Heel staff A Student Transportation Commission was established Thursday by executive order "for the purpose of conducting experiments to explore the need and feasibility of a cam pus transportation system." The move was Ken Day's first act as President of the Student Body. Day was sworn in minutes before he issued the order, by the newly in augurated Supreme Court Chief Justice, George Summer Puper Positions Open The Publications Board is reconsidering the feasibility of publishing the summer Tar Heel according to Don Walton ex officio member of the Board. The appearance of a single candidate for one of the two regular positions on the staff of the summer weekly brought into question student interest in the publication Walton said. He explained that although some of the Board members feel the Tar Heel is "necessary to tie the campus together in the summers I feel that the paper is not read very extensively and ...generally is not a' high quality newspaper." Walton urges interested students to "apply quickly" for one of the two positions on the staff editor and business manager. Both are salaried jobs. The Board also asks for stu dent opinion on the worth of publishing the paper. The Tar Heel which has no connection with the Daily Tar Heel requires that $1624 be appropriated from the stu dent fees fund for publica tion. The appropriation must be approved by the Office of toe Dean of Men due to a discon tinuance during the summer of Student Legislature. A spokesman from the Dean's Office said a com mittee will be considering the Tar Heel's budget within two weeks. Walton said the Publications Board must know by that time student interest in the paper. The Tar Heel is issued week ly during the UNC summer session and is composed of five columns and generally eight to twelve pages.

The representative will be assisted by John MacMurray on the second floor of Graham Memorial.

Prior tp the appointment of the new commission, two bodies had worked on the ex perimental bus system. One was a commission appointed by former SB President Bob Travis, and the other was pro vided for in a legislative bill which appropriated funds for the busses. The first bill was found un constitutional for technical reasons, however The Travis Commission pro- posed a system of two busses making two round trips an hour from South Campus to the main campus and back. The busses would operate from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and hold a capactiy of 100 students per bus at a cost . of ten cents a ride. The Commission worked with Robert Deaton, general manager of the City Coach Lines who said $750 would be needed to operate two busses for one week.

The six demands were those that initMly sent the hundreds of studSnts into five campus buildings April 23 and 24. They included a halt to construction of the gymnasium, an end to affiliation . with a Defense Department research program and amnesty for all protesters. University president Grayson Kirk and the boad of trustees, backed by many faculty members, have refused amnesty. Jubilee concerts begin tonight at 7:30 on Fetzer Field. Carla Thomas, Rufus Thomas and the New Bar Kays are featured. Four entrances have been set up leading into the athletic field behind Carmichael Auditorium: behind Kessing Pool at the end of the road beside Carmichael at the South ends of the Intramural Field. Archie Copeland G . M . Activities Coordinator said, "No containers of any kind etc.) win be allowed in the concert area. "Fetzer Field," Copeland said, "is an athletic field and any broken glass or sharp metal left on the field could be dangerous. Copeland also asks any persons who plan to bring then own picnic meals to eat them in the grand stand. The Senior Class will be sell ing refreshments on the field during all the concerts. UNC students and dates will be admitted with one I.D. card. Each UNC student is entitled to purchase two additional tickets for guests at $2.00 per ticket. Guest tickets will admit holders to all Jubilee events. quidating. in addition, MacMurray said $200 has already been soljdted from town merchants for advertising in the busses. Consequent to the planning by the commission, A . S . Waters, Chairman of the University's Traffic and Safety Committee offered the com mission an additional $750 for the operation of the busses for a second week. Pending SL approval of the. appropriation Thursday, two busses will run on an ex perimental basis for two weeks beginning Monday. (A schedule of the bus if&utes and times will appear in Sun day's Daily Tar Heel.) MacMurray feels the "most important thing regarding a future program of busses would be that the experiment be self-financing.'' He hopes to achieve this self liquidation through advertising and fares. Providing the program does finance itself, M acMurray feels (he commission can work over the summer and possibly continue the operation of the busses in the fall. Day said after the ceremony that he will "begin now as actively as possible to get organized for a unified and effective Student Legislature." He said the outgoing legislature is presently con sidering the budget for next year and as soon as a budget is approved, the new legislature can be seated. lAt that time, Day said, he "wlrDiit!i!ro - for his administration. Poor People March Begins In Memphis MEMPHIS. Tenn. UPI) Launched on their way by the widow of Dr. Martin Luther King, 570 persons set but Thursday on their "poor people's'' march on Washington, singing "We Shall Overcome." The paocession stepped off at 2:25 pjn. (EST) with Rev. Ralph David Abemathy, King's successor as head of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference SOLC), marching in the lead. He was accompanied by Mrs. Abernathy, other aides of the late civil rights leader, Reies Lopez Tijerina, a Mexican-American from New Mex ico, and Linda Aranayndo, an American Indian. Tiie number of marchers is expected to swell into the tens, of thousands as they converge on the nation's capital from all sections of the nation May 12-19 to dramatize the plight of the poor. They have vowed to set up a shantytown and stay there until the govern ment takes action. Dressed in black and stan ding on he hotel balcony where her husband was slain, Mrs. Coretta King told the marchers before they set out: "On this spot where my hus band gave his life, I pledge eternal loyalty to the work which he so nobly began His legacy will lead us to the point where all of God's children have shoes." Before beginning their trek, the marchers dedicated a gray marble tablet, enscribed with a star and a cross, on the balcony of the Lorraine Hotel, where King was killed by a shiper's bullet April 4. The star carries a quotation from the Book of Genesis: "They said one to another, behold, here cometh the dreamer. . . let us slay him. . .and we shall see what will become of his dreams."

This was to provide organizers with more time to recruit marchers in Marks. Although the arrested ad vance organizers were freed ' on bond during the day, town officials were apprehensive. "We're just hoping and praying, that's all we can do," said Mayor Howard Laogford. "We dont like it. We're just a small town. We dont have the facilities to handle this many people.

WILKINSON Of The DTH Staff The 1968 North Carolina gubernatorial race has been unable to arouse much , active interest among students on the UNC campus. Only two of the candidates involved have been able to create any enthusiasm for their campaigns at UNC. Of these only one has maintained active and widespread support over an extended period of time. Reginald Hawkins, Charlotte dentist and candidate for the Democratic nomination for Governor, has established himself as the most popular candidate on the UNC campus by winning, with surprising ease, both gubernatorial preference primaries here. Hawkins' first victory came in a general preference primary held in early March in which students and teachers expressed their choices for Governor of North Carolina and for President of the United States. He reaffirmed his popularity late in April with another win, this one coming in the gubernatorial preference vote held in conjunction with Choice '68. This the national student referendum on the Presidential race and important issues of interest to American students. The only other candidates who have inspired active sup port on the UNC campus are Jim Gardner and Mel Broughton. Gardner announced Wed nesday the formation of a Jim Gardner Statewide Youth Com mittee to be headed by former Topic government only reminiscent of Hitler's Nazi Germany." "Ntlabati feels that the Black people in South Africa and in the U.S. are struggling along the same lines," said Norman Gustaveson, secretary of the YMCA which is sponsor ing the discussion. He is in the United States to raise funds for the African National Congress of South Africa. "He is interested in starting student branches of the o r g a nization," Gustaveson said. Ntlabati worked with S.N.C.C. in Georgia. Arkansas. Alabama and Mississippi in the summer of 1964. He was in vited by the UJ5. government (Continued on Pae 6) H ..

Permission Proposed A proposal was presented at the Women's Residence Council Tuesday night to allow all coeds late permission to study in the library until 2:00 a jn. during exam week. Nancy McCharen who presented the proposal pointed out that the library staff plans to work late during exam week and coeds should be allowed to take advantage of it. WRC will vote on the pro posal after individual sororities and donns have evaluated it. Dorm funds will possibly be used to pay someone to lock up and sign out sheets would probably be used according to WRC Chairman Libby Idol. Miss McCharen is also heading a referendum to study freshman rules concerning such things as the effect the abolishment of closed study has had on grades. 'There is almost no dif ference between freshman and upper classmen rules with the exception of dosing hours" Miss Idol pointed out. 'The referendum will give an idea of the direction in which WRC will head next year" she ad ded. Newly elected officers of WRC are Vice-chairman Nan cy McCharen; Corresponding secretary Jo Anne Porter; Recording secretary Cecilia Stein. imux i
