IX- mm Pass Hawk Seek Future By TOM GOODING DTH Staff Writer Dr. Reginald Hawkin's Cam paign for governor is over. However, the campaigners who worked for that organization are now actively working on future goals. The organization met for the last lime Monday night in the H awkins-for-Go vernor campaign headquarters at 413 East Rosemary St. 'This is our last night in the Hawkins Campaign. Head quarters, we have to shake the image of Hawkins." "One of the first things we have to do is decide on a name for our group. We will continue to organize in coun ties and cities and begin get ling ready for the next big political push whatever it may be," said Howad Lee, area co-ordinator for the Poor People's March. Trustees To By TOM GOODING DTH Staff Writer The Board of Trustees has directed Consolidated Universi ty President William C. Friday and all Chancellors that no University facilities are to be used by marchers in the poor people's campaign. Dr. David Galinsky, Mr. Hilliard Caldwell, and Dr. Thai Elliott met with Chancellor Sit terson Friday, May 10, to re quest assistance in ac commodating the five hundred marchers from the Poor People's March to arrive in Chapel Hill on Thursday. They requested the use of the Tin Can and the use of the facilities of Woollen gym, specifically the showers and rest rooms. Shortly after the an nouncement by the Board of Trustees. Dr. Thai Elliot made the following statement: "It is unrealistic to expect a University which continues to exploit the black poor people in the Universities' dining halls and in other areas of this institution, to offer any assistance to a similar group of poor people." "However, the Poor People's March will continue in Washington and Chapel HILL, with or without the assistance Washington and Chapel Hill, Geer H If I i f :i v I P 1 ! y ins "Locally we need on the schools to to work improve educational facilities. In the district we need to work for positions on the Board of Aldermen," said Rev. Buie Seawell, pastor of the Presbyterian Church of Recon ciliation. "We need to work for the next State Senate position from this district then campaign for lieutenant Governor. It is much easier to get a person elected to Lieutenant Governor than directly to Governor as Reginald Hawkins tried to do," said Rev. Seawell. "Hawkins had no state wide organization to speak of and under these conditions I feel its significant he got all the notes that he did," Lee con tinued. At this point in the meeting it was suggested that the group temporarily adopt the name of People's Reform Organ- use Met ouse March of this University." Dick First, housing chairman for the Poor People's March in Chapel Hill, announced that substantial arrangements have already been made. "Several churches and goups have already volunteered their services. Including, The First Baptist Church in conjunction with the University Baptist Church, the St. Thomas More Catholic Church, the Binkley Baptist Church, the Black Stu dent Movement, and the School of Social work." "We will be needing money for transporting he marchers to Norfolk. If there are any questions concerning housing contact me at 942-4866." First said. Arrangements for con tributions of money and clothing were announced by Galinsky. "There will be a booth set up in the Y Court for contributions." "Checks should be made out to Rev. William Coats and earmarked for the Poor People's Campaign. Please bring all contributions to the Y or phone them into the 'Y' and somebody will pick them up. You can bring either money or clothing to the office of Jean Luder and give them to her or her secretary," said Galinsky. History professor William Geer will appear on the NET program "Men Who Teach", a series on s of tte naS outstanding colleg eand university professors. The show will be on Channel 4 at 10:00 p.m. Wednesday, May 15th. Workers Goals ization for Democracy and spell to use the initials which out PROD. The motion was voted on and carried. It was then moved that Lee and Hilliard Caldwell serve as PROD's first co chairmen. Both were unan imously accepted. Lee then spoke on plans and arrangements for the marchers coming into Chapel Hill on Thursday. "We have found that we were the best organized of all the cities that the Poor People's , march . has, gone through." "Original plans had called for all the buses to arrive in Durham and for us to transport the marchers from there over her and then back to Durham," said Lee. "However, we now plan to 'have the buses split up and to channel the ones we will handle directly to Chapel Hill, and then from here directly to Norfolk." "This way we will be free to have our own march and demonstration in Chapel Hill exclusive of plans being made in Durham. W then hope it will be possible to merge the two groups between here and Norfolk," he said.. Drs. Da n Young a nd Thai Elliot will be in charge of medial and health facilities for the marchers. This will be a check of the people who are sick to determine how much attention they wil1 need rather then a general check-up of all marchers." "We feel the best way to handle this would be to hold an evening clinic at whatever time suits the people," said Dr. Young.

All seniors will receive their books in the mail. ,The Yack contract for next year was awarded to Hunter Publishing Co. of Winston-Salem.

"I wouldn't make any such predictions this time," Har riman said "It will be a longer period of time before we can come to an understanding. But the object is simple.

Robert F. Kennedy's transcon tiental search for a clear-cut primary mandate for the Democratic presidential inoxriination. As in Indiana a week ago, Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy was sure to give him a battle on the ballot. The presence of President Johnson's name on the ballot offered an outlet for sympathy votes and an escape valve for those who hope to move Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey into the White House. Richard M. Nixon was the prohibitive favorite to add Nebrakas to his string of Republican primary victories. But, under this state's free-for-all election laws, California Gov. Ronald Reagan was a potent presence on the ballot. Observers watched closely to determine how Reagan's brand of conservatism goes over in a state which has been regard ed for almost a decade as "Nixon Cfcuntry." Secretary of State Frank Marsh predicted feat if the weather was good about 410,000 of Nebraska's 1.4 million residents would vote, surpass ing a primary record posted in 1934. After a stormy night, Tuesday's weather was warm and clear. Voting was reported moderate to heavy in most of the state, and Marsh and election officials in Omaha held to their predictions of a record. The state's heaviest concentration of Democratic voters is in Omaha, and the turnout there was described as "fairly heavy." The polls opened at 8 a.m. and close at 8 p.m.(CDT) in most of the state except for six counties in the West, where they are open until an hour later-8 p.m. Mountain Time. Counties using voting mary 30 Days, Penalties By TODD COHEN DTH Staff Writer North Carolina's first local open housing ordinance was passed 4-0 Monday by the Chapel Hill Board of Aldermen. At the same meeting, the Board approved a memoran dum to prepare a resolution asking tfte Orange County Board of Commissioners to establish a residential district on the watershed here in which a maximum of one residential unit per acre would be per mitted, unless the unit was serviced by a public sewer. The housing bill, which became effective upon passage, requires that "no owner of real property shall discriminate against any other person because of the religion, race, color, or national origm. . . in regard to the sale located within fee Town of Chapel Hill." The ordinance does not stipulate that an owner must offer property to the public at large before selling or ren ting it. In addition, the bill does not "prohibit owners from giving preference to prospective tenants or buyers for any reason other than religion, race, color, or national origin." The measure states that "unlawful housing practices should not be permitted. . . in order to preserve and promote the interest, rights, and privileges of individuals within Chapel Hill. Violation of the bill con stitutes a misdeameanor, punishable upon conviction by a fine not exceeding $50 or imprisonment not exceeding 30 days. In its first consideration by the Aldermen April 22, the bill failed to receive a two thirds majority due to a wish on the part of the Aldermen for further time to consider the measure. Original consideration of the bill followed the passage April Race machines, including Lancaster which has another Democratic enclave in the capital city of Lincoln-said they would not release returns until the voting is done throughout the state. But the paper ballot counties, including Omaha's Douglas County, were permitted to report the vote when their own polls close. f. . It 1 , V 5. , frpi - L . - , . - .-..

Chapel Hill Mayor Sandy McClamroch said he instructed the town manager and at torney to draw up an open housing odrinance after he was presented with a petition at the Board of Aldermen meeting April 10. McClamroch said he feels the local bill is "more com prehensive" than the con gressional measure. He cited larger coverage of housing rentals in the local measure.
