Also to be presented is a request by Town Manager Robert Peck that an injunction be placed on the Ridgewood Mobile Home Park to prevent the expansion of the park, as approved last week by the Orange County Board of Com missioners. Peck said the proposed hous ing ordinance was unable to get the necessary two-thirds majority after its first con sideration due to a wish on the part of the Aldermen for further time to consider the bill. He said the six member board is generally agreed upon the necessity of such a bill. Alderman David Ethridge, who introduced the bill, said he "would not be surprised if the bill received unanimous approval." The proposal asks that "no owner of real property shall discriminate against any other person because of the religion race, color or national origin. . .in regard to the sale or rental of. . .property located within the Town of Chapel Hill." Consideration of the bill followed the passage April 10 by Congress of the Open Hous ing Bill outlawing discrimina tion in American housing. Chapel Hill Mayor Sandy McClamroch said the need for a town ordinance was not as great as it was before the congressional bill was pass ed. He said he had instructed the town manager and at torney to draw up an open housing ordinance after he was presented with a petition at the Board of Aldermen meeting April 10. "I will don't know if the town want to make a n ordinance now that the federal bill has been passed," the mayor said prior to presen tation of the ordinance to the Board. The original argument against the trailer park ex pansion stemmed from the publicized warnings of several health officials that an in crease in the number of mobile units in the park would in crease the possibility of unsanitary water conditions in the towns of Chapel Hill and Carrboro.

WILKINSON DTH Staff Writer Local supporters of Senator Eugene McCarthy's candidacy for President of the United States score three precinct vic tories yesterday in the Chapel Hill area. McCarthy backers in Westwood, Estes Hills, and Glenwood precincts suc cessfully challenged the Democratic Party establish ment, according to Citizens for McCarthy members, in n o m i n ating pro-McCarthy delegates to the county con vention of the Democratic Par ty. In Westwood precinct a group called the Westwood Citizens Committee presented a slate of nominees favorable to Senator McCarthy headed by Mrs. Ann Smith and Mr. William L. Riddick, a UNC instructor in the department of social work. The McCarthy slate defeated other nominees pledged to op posing candidates. A pro-McCarthy delegation was also triumphant i n Glenwood precinct. The slate was headed by George W. Har ris and Howard Lee with Flo Garrett and Margaret Gulick selected as alternates. McCarthy workers also won in the Estes Hills precinct. Westwood precinct Democrats passed a resolution . commending Judge Jim Phipps for his years as chairman of the Orange County Democratic Committee by the narrow margin of twenty-two to twen ty. Mrs. Jane Cloak, a McCarthy supporter in Westwood, said that the closeness of the vote was part of the overall reaction against the established leadership in the precinct. Democrats in Westwood precinct as well as in Glenwood precinct passed a resolution calling for the "pursuit of full, serious negotiations" to end the Viet nam War. The resolution also demanded "military de-escalation and disengagement from the war." Mrs. Cloak said that the resolution passed i n Westwood by a near, unanimous vote. Democrats attending the precinct meeting in Glenwood precinct also passed two other resolutions supported by pro McCarthy members. The first was a "fair hous ing" resolution calling for passage and implementation of a local open-housing ordinance to prevent discrimination in the sale or rental of houses, apartments, building space. The other resolution called for the application of the "one man-one vote" principle to the election of delegates to the Democratic State convention in North Carolina. By MIKE COZZA Special to the DTH Four UNC students showed up outside of Graham Memorial Friday night car rying picket signs to protest the quality of the Daily Tar Heel. The students identified themselves as Robert Van Veld, Jeff McKay, Allen Gwyn and Johann Matheja. They collected signatures for a petition addressed to the DTH staff. The petition read: "This is a completely un biased, unsolicited, and (we think) totally unassailable i&tatement of grievances which we hold to be inexcusable in , the publication of any universi- r ty newspaper." On the petition and picket signs were these grievances: the editorials are biased, editorial cartoons are ofter in bad taste. reviews of movies are often amateurish and do not reflect the true character of themovies. there are too many misprints and misplaced lines of type. -the DTH has slighted many excellent musical programs at Hill Hall and by so doing caus ed poor attendance at many of them. the news staff is inefficient and does not print enough news. "We don't think the paper gives the students a true pic ture of the overall activities on campus," McKay said. "And on top of that," he added, "sometimes the prin ting is so messed up that you can't even read a story." Members of the group sug gested that the DTH Could be improved by adding wider coverage of intramural ac tivities, better schedules of campus events and more na tional news coverage. "We especially miss the world news briefs," McKay said. "The coverage of the Paris peace talks today was ridiculous only one short arti cle on the back page." The protestors urged ex pansion of the campus calen dar, especially on week-ends. Clarifying the petition's statement on editorial policy, McKay remarked that he was referring to the editorial page in general. "We're not questioning the editor's right to express his opinion in his own column," he said, "but we'd like to see a wider range of col umnists expressing a variety of opinion." the Eno precinct near Hillsborough and found evidence of "in terference with the exercise of voting rights." Jerry Paul, who has headed the investigation for the McCarthy committee, said that he has traced the alleged in terference to the Ku Klux Klan. He cited Klan in timidation and illicit activites as the cause of votng ir regularities in the Eno precinct. x Paul said that he had in troduced two resolutions at the Estes Hill precinct meeting of the Democratic Party Satur day as a first step in breaking the Klan strangle-hold on the Eno precinct and in ridding the Democratic Party of the Klan influence. The first resolution asks that Eno delegates be refused seating at the Orange County Democratic convention until a thorough investigation has been made of "Klan in timidation, illicit activities, and voter interference." The second resolution asks that tne Estes Hill Democrats "condemn the Ku Klux Klan, their methods, and members in the strongest terms possible making it evident that the Democratic Party of this state detests and despises the KKK and its methods. . .and that we want to rid the state of the criminal element that makes up the Ku Klux Klan." "The McCarthy organiza tion," said Paul, intends to fight the KKK and other subversive elements in order that Negro Americans and white Americans may both participate in the functions of a democratic society." Paul alleged that Ku Klux Klan members had interfered with election officials in the performance of their duties during the May 4 statewide primary. He also charged the Klan with threats of physical violence to individuals in the community. precinct meetings not to do so. He said that the FBI participating in the vestieation but thus far state attorney general and the SBI have been unwilling to offer help.

John M c M u r ray , co chairman of the Student T ransportation Commission, which is heading the ex periment, voiced concern Saturday that students display similar response in the. second, final, and "critical" week of operations. The experiment, begun Mon day after a year of research by a group of South Campus students concerned with the "alienation" of the residents there, was established to pro vide the Commission with in formation which it hopes could be used in the formation of a full-time bus system. The Commission had com municated with the City Coach lines of North Carolina, agree ing to charter two buses for two weeks at $750 a week.

Tires Smoke At Ramshead Frai Sipomsors Auto Trials JL Universities Faulted In Ghetto Struggle The 4th Annual North C arolina Press-Broadcasters Local Government Reporting Seminar meeting in Chapel Hill Friday night heard speeches from Dr. James Cheek, presi dent of Shaw University, and D.S. Coltrane, chairman of the Good Neighbor Councli. "Our nation is now in the throes of domestic crisis. Every segment of national life is affected by the crisis dramatized in American education. Moral and social issues converge on church and state and the meeting ground becomes the colleges and universities." Cheek said. , "I could have predicted that colleges and universities would get involved in the color ques tion eventually, . because of three basic problems: first, ethnic decisions, second, poverty and last, educational disadvantages. All three of these issues are issues of color and the black race." "The curriculum in colleges and universities is the same in 1968 as it was in 1930 as to substance and content," Cheek said. Coltrane spoke on the violent unrest present in ghettos of our large cities saying, "The ramifications of the racial crisis are so vast and frighten ing that even now our people have not fully grapsed what is happening to them." "Today, rioting, burning and looting seem to have become the instrument of protest. There is an element of the Negro Community, only 5 to 10 per cent of the total Negro community, who believe tht no other way can bring their plight to public attention." Coltrane said, "Today there are two North Carol inas. black and white. The black power pmun is sovi to the white power structure, 4You either give us the moderate programs we advocate or you commit yourself to continued unrest'." By FRANK BALLARD DTH Staff Writer Except for a few pick-up basketball games, Ramshead Parking Lot is a pretty dull place on Saturday af ternoonsbut yesterday was different. Twenty-four sports cars, "sporty" cars, motorcycles and motorbikes roared and squealed around the lot. The drivers were testing their skill, nerve and machine's performance in Lambda Chi Alpha's first annual gymkhana. About 100 spec ta tors squinted in the bright sun and cheered and groaned as their favorite Porsche, Corvette, jMini-Cooper or Bridgestone navigated the pylon-marked course. With tires smoking and engines whinging, the cars sprinted and spun around the trick race coursefighting the stopwatch and avoiding loss of points from a knocked-over pylon marker. Times hovered just over one minute, quite respectable con sidering what had to be done in that minute. From a stnding start the contestants had to weave around a row of spaced pylons, come to a full stop inside a U-shaped "garage" and back up to continue. The final obstacle was a series of four pylons which the drivers had to circle, . shortening their route by one pylon each time around. After charging around the last pylon they finished by screeching to a full stop in another "garage." Only one entry at a tune " was allowed on the course ana from Student Legislature and the University's Traffic and Safety Committee, each of $750, to finance the project It was the feeling of Mr. A.S. Waters, chairman of the Traffic and Safety Committee, that the project would require two weeks in order to collect significant information, and he thus offered to finance the buses for a second week. Waters believed the first week of operations would pro vide the students with only a "novelty", but that the real concern of the students, if any, for South Campus transporta tion would be expressed in the second week. At the close of the first five days of the experiment, the two buses had netted $706.82 on fares. In addition, the Commission had solicited $220 of advertisements from Chapel Hill merchants. The project had earned some $60 profit. McMurray said the original $ 7 5 0 appropriated from Student Legislature would be returned. Midway in the first week, the Commission extended the Chase Cafeteria-Wilson Library route to include three stops a day on Franklin St. On the first day of the ex tended route, the buses transported 50 students to town. McMurray said the three daily downtown stops would be included for the remainder of the experiment. The Commission also decid ed in the first week to allow residents of Victory and Odum Villages, and Scott Residence College to wave down buses. According t o McMurray, Robert Deaton, assistant of the City Lines, expressed interest Friday in trying to work out something on a longer-range basis with the University ad ministration. McMurray said the Com mission would work over the summer in the hope ofworking out such a longer-range system. He also said greater response would be probable .from freshmen entering next fall and from all South Campus students during the winter. scoring was based on the best of four runs. Trophies were . awarded to the winners in each of the five classes. They were: Class A sports cars: Roy Hyde, Mini Cooper, 59.2 seconds (best over-all time). Class B sports cars: Dave Fortenbery, Porsche, 1 minute and 3 seconds. Class C sports cars: Mike Hewitt, Corvair, 1 minute and 1.4 seconds. American cars: Tom Browne, Mustang, 1 minute and 7.4 seconds. Motorcycles: Ronald Howard, Honda, 1 minute and .6 second. While there was no charge to spectators, each contestant paid a $2 entrance fee. This, plus funds raised by a car wash and coke sale held at the gymkhana, will go to the Arthritis Foundation in con nection with Lambda Chi Alpha's annual project. Dorm solicitations will begin next week as the fraternity attempts to meet its goal of $300. Although the car wash lack ed the tension of the gymkhana, it drew dozens of people who came to see two sleeek racing machines on display. The costly hybrids were a Ford GT 40 Mark II owned by Durham insurance executive Watts Hill, Jr. and a ' new- Ferrari owned by Robert Shelton White, a UNC student. . 3 If JLj Zjrrrz : - r:j; t ; r-rrr rrrZ-"- - 1 A Corvair Screeches Around The Pylons in Saturday's gymcana al Ramshead parking lot ISC To Hold Frisbee Toss In Polk Place Have you been practicing your frisbee throwing all spring without any recognition for your outstanding talent Well today is your big chan ce!
