Si Take STD3 By JOE SANDERS DTH Features Editor The University chalked up a lot of changes this summer while most of its 13,000 students were taking a breather. Surprisingly, however, the students were involved in many of the changes and made news in everything from protests to pro baseball. DRUGS continued to pose student problems. In the first trial case of the University's new drug policy, George Yachan, a rising sophomore, received an indefinite probation from a joint faculty-student board on June 17. Yachan first gave no plea and later pleaded 'not guilty' to charges of possession of Marajuana in his Morrison Dormitory room. He was also liable to criminal prosecution. A UNC co-ed was charged with illegal possession and possession for sale of LSD by the Chapel Hill Police Department on July 24 when police raided her apartment. Sally Walker, a senior completing her course credits in the second summer session, posted $1,000 bond and appeared before a grand jury yesterday. DRAFT protestor Robert (Corky) Eaton failed his physical July 30 at Raleigh induction center before he had a chance to carry out his pledge to refuse to take his oath. George Vlasitis, who turned in his draft card along with Eaton last April, awaits trial on $2,500 bond. SDS chairman Jerry Carr left Chapel Hill recently for a college teaching position in California. Carr helped organize the UNC contingent to the October march on the Pentagon, the Dow protest on March 16 and campus support for Cone Mill workers. The SDS was left with no chairman. IN SPORTS, Dave Lemonds, the nation's number one college baseball draft choice, signed a contract with the Chicago Cubs for an estimated $75,000 on June 10. The Carolina sophomore was also picked in July as the "Sporting News" collegiate player of the year. Senior Charlie Carr signed a contract with the New York Mets Baseball team in June.

Consolidated University Vice President Dr. A.K. King said that admission of the two schools, "might help kill the idea that the University is a Piedmont institution." RULES AND HOURS caused controversy again this summer. Former WRC chairman Sharon Rose presented a report to the administration stating the guiding philosophy of the WRC should be the "co-eds at Carolina are mature and responsible women who would benefit from more flexible rules ..." Miss Rose also stated in her report that a new faculty-student committee should, "consider a senior self-limiting hours policy for January, 1969."

The Ku Khix Klan held a rally in 'Communist Hill' in July off highway 54 west of Carrboro, "I'd love to lead a march past those white nigger hippies at UNC," one Klud said. Students responded in kind by raising funds for a boycotted ex-klansman in Alabama who was hiring Negroes.
