ncreases
Water consumption within
the Chapel Hill community has
increased over the last few days
despite efforts by women's
dorms and sororities to
conserve water.
Tuesday's consumption was
2.68 million gallons which is a
steady increase over Saturday,
Sunday and Monday.
Consumption for those days
were:
' Saturday-2.2 million
gallons
Sunday 2.3 million gallons
Monday 2.4 million
gallons.
The water level at
University Lake has decreased
one inch daily over the past
week with the exception of
Monday. The lake remained at
97 inches on Sunday and
Monday because of a light
rainfall that decreased the
evaporation rate.
The lake dropped to 99
inches below the spillway
Wednesday. The lake level was
unaffected by the .17 inches of
rainfall on Tuesday.
Alpha Delta Pi used the
least amount of water in the
first week of the sorority
conservation contest with 333
gallons of water per person.
Kappa Delta placed second
with . 360 gallons per person
during the week.
The other six sororities
ranked in this order: Delta

poinU out quite clearly a
rapidly unfolding new trend in
student activism that is
appearing on campuses from
New York to California.
No longer are the major
confrontations concerned with
Dow Chemical or compulsory
ROTC. Instead, academic
freedom, for a while the
forgotten cause, is replacing
Viet Nam as a major collegiate
rallying point
; This movement on the part
of both black and white
students for a louder voice in
university policy-making was
demonstrated last week by the
presence, and in several cases
the absence, of controversial
black instructors on college
faculties.
Incident after incident
followed an almost classic
pattern: A Negro militant was
hired and his course quickly
over-subscribed. A furor was
raised by university officials.
The new instructor was quickly
fired. Students immediately
began protest.
Many, including Dean C.
Wilson Anderson of UNCs
School of Social Work (which
hired Negro anti-poverty
wprker and professionally
competent instructor Howard
Fuller last year only to see him
leave five months later after
Gov. Moore called the hiring "a
serious mistake") are not
surprised by the new trend.

"Students are more alert to
the social and political
problems of our time and are
eager to get ideas and
information from many
sources both within and
without the traditional
academic structure," Anderson
said.
However, he added that a
minority of students "delight
in controversy for
controversy's sake."

Nixon Outlines Plans For
Youth Service Department
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (UPI)
Republican Richard M.
Nixon promised American
mothers he would protect their
sons from future wars
Wednesday and pledged a new
role for the nation's youth that
feel "over-powered,
over-patronized and
over-protected."
In the first of a series of
nationwide radio speeches
Nixon unveiled plans for a new
government department a
youth service agency designed
to offer a challenge to those
who "think the way to make a
mark in life is to scrawl a
slogan on the wall."

that the Peace and Freedom

Cleaver, who is coming as

o'clock Saturday night.
Dobbins also said that

money is necessary to pay
court costs and to support the
Peace and Freedom Party.

administration "in its
put-down of women, has set a
bad example to industry, to
labor, and to the professions."
Noting that three million
more women than men can
enter the polling booths in
November, Nixon said peace in
Vietnam was uppermost in
their minds.
"New leadership will end
this war in a way that will
prevent boys now 15 and 16
from having to fight," Nixon
declared.
Johnson reached Nixon at
the Union Station railroad
terminal where thousands
cheered the GOP contender,
despite bad acoustics in the
cavernous waiting room. The
station reception contrasted
sharply with a dull, but
respectful crowd of Future
Farmers of America (FFA),
who listened to Nixon discuss
agriculture problems at the
municipal auditorium.
But Nixon's radio speech on
NBC was a plea for the nation
to worry about its youth, not
just the "Yippies, Hecklers and
hot heads."
"We can handle the
wild-eyed, but the greater
danger is from those who
simply do not care at all, from
the bored and alienated and
disengaged."
Nixon said in his youth
service agency, "The by-word
will be challenge, not
handout." He said the agency
would work this way:
Open channel section. This
section would maintain
communication in Washington
with the wide range of youth
and mental conditions.

not." The aim would be to

Youth people's ombudsman.
Nixon said this would be
staffed by young people well
versed in government
operations who would act as
champions or advocates of
complaints and new ideas and
channel them to the various
federal agencies.
Nixon again repeated his
plan to make military service
"entirely voluntary" and
reiterated his support of the
18-year old vote.
At the meeting Wednesday,
the subject of the UNC
sandwiches was also discussed.
Shetley was receptive to acting
on advice from the Board of
Governors with respect to the
amount of ingredients and
number of varieties of the
sandwiches produced.
Both suggestions would

requests and representatives of

the proper channels for

requests and setting reasonable
criterion for evaluating the
requests.
Each of the subjects studied
at the meeting Wednesday will
be presented by Day to the
Board of Governors at their
meeting Thursday night.
Another matter discussed at
the meeting concerned the
price of textbooks at the Book
Exchange. Shetley pointed out
that the faculty can help lower
book prices by getting their
book orders in on time for the
next semester. In this way the
student can buy used books at
a savings of 25 rather than
having to purchase new books
at the last minute.
we will have turned in the
visitation petition to the dean.
We will then need to discuss
what action to take in
accordance with the reception
it receives.
"Any plans, however, are
contingent upon the
administration's action and
then the decision of the
students on the type of action
they want to take," Austell
said.
The petition, signed by over
1000 students in three hours
on Thursday, Oct. 3 reads as
follows:
"We the undersigned
request that each dormitory be
given the right to decide if it
wants to allow visitation of
women in men's rooms, and
when it wants "to allow that
visitation."
There are two issues on
visitation to be decided at the
meeting Austell said, "First we
need to talk about setting up
dorm meetings to discuss and
plan action to be taken, and
then we want to plan what
specific action we will take
next."
However, Austell said that
this is not the only issue that
SSOC is concerned with and
that other problems will also
be discussed.
"One issue that is a
particular sore spot is the
Student Stores. I think there is
an even deeper issue with the
Student Stores than with
sandwich prices. The student
store was built with student
money. The stores are
supposed to represent the
students, and yet . their
students having any significant
voice in the decisions," Austell
said.
"We have many other

"Anyone interested in

Stephens Hired
To Make Study
By EVIE STEVENSON
DTH Staff Writer
The University's Institute of
Government has employed
George Stephens, Director of
" Security for Westinghouse
Electric Company in Charlotte,
to study the security situation
of Chapel Hill dorms.
John Sanders, director of
the Institute of Government,
said the Institute acted at the
request of Joe Eagles, vice
Chancellor for Financial
affairs, to seek a security
analyst for a ? competent
evaluation of the women's
dorm safety.
Eagles made the decision to
hire the analyst when a group
of women students presented a
petition asking for a night
watchman at each women's
dorm. The evaluation will be
one of the factors in
determining the necessity of
maintaining these watchmen.
The Women's Committee on
Dorm Security gave the
signatures of the majority of
women students to Dean of
Student Affairs CO. Cathey
last week, stating that "dorm
security is not adequate" and
should be of "utmost
importance and priority for
our protection,"
Cathey consulted Eagles on
the matter, at which time the
Institute of Government was
asked to find the security
analyst
Eagles said a meeting will be
held with the W7o men's
Committee on Oct 24 to
discuss the results of the
evaluation.
"The Administration is not
dragging its feet in this matter.
We are taking immediate action
on this request for added
security," said Eagles.
"The Women's Committee,"
he added, "came to me on Oct
14. I had already contacted the
Institute about the analyst
Within 10 days, I will have
results for them."
Stephens is scheduled to
start the security study on Oct
21. He was chief of the
Mecklinburg County police
department before working in
his current
WTestinghouse.

Prillaman Admits 'Error';
Five Workers Reemployed
Five of the ten Lenoir Hall
workers who were laid off last
Thursday as a result of the
water crisis had returned to
work by Tuesday.
According to George
Prillaman, head of University
Food Services, the laying-off
was an "error in judgement"
and the dishwashers had been
notified by telephone or mail
to return to work in another
capacity.
The workers were laid off
because of the suspension of
dish-washing as part of an
effort by the University dining
halls to conserve water.
Since the dining halls are
now using paper or plastic
implements, the workers are no
longer needed for dishwashing.
Prillaman stated that as a result
of this, all the dining halls are
over-staffed at this time.
Several of the laid-off
workers have accepted other
employment, but Prillaman
indicated that they will be
given perference should they
wish to return to work at
Lenoir Halt Extra workers will
not be hired in their places at
this time.
Ntlabati Cites U.S. White Problem
African Exile Says Nation's Blacks 'Have Not Been Liberated'
By J. D. WILKINSON
DTH Staff Writer
Gladstone Ntlabati, South
African exile and
representative to the U.S. for
the African National Congress,
said Tuesday night in an
address in Gerrard Hall that
"America does not have a
Negro problem it has a white
problem, and that problem is
racism."
Ntlabati's speech on the
relationship between the Negro
revolt in South Africa and the
black rebellion in the United
States was part of a YMCA,
YWCA-sponsored symposium
"Black Revolt-Impact On
You."
Ntlabati said that "the
United States has expanded
westward since 1607 all the
way from the east coast to
Vietnam in 1968.
"Besides territorial disputes
with other nations," he said,
"there have been n
impediments to this westward
expansion except for the
colored peoples."
Ntlabati termed the
wars
against the Indians "genocide
and said that "the United
States established and
maintained for almost two
hundred years the most brutal
system of involuntary servitude
ever known, because the
system was based entirely on
color."
He said that white
Americans have always defined
themselves in terms of who
they were superior to.
"WTiite Americans do not
know who they are because
since 1607 and before, their
sense of identity has been
based on who they were not."
Ntlabati claimed that
"racism is perpetuated in the
north by a system of subtle
and not so subtle euphemistic
rhetoric."
He cited such phrases as
"law and order" and "the
preservation of neighborhood
schools."
Turning to his own country,
Ntlabati said that "South
Africa is the only country in
the world where a system of
racism, based on color is
established in the constitution
of the land
He said that non-violence
has failed in South Afirca and
that he sees no way that white
South Africans will accept
blacks to equality without
bloodshed.
Returning to the American
problem, Ntlabati claimed that
"In the past decade the blacks
of this country have not been
liberated the conditions for
their slavery - have been
improved.
"Now for the first time, the
black man is teillng the white
man, 'I want to be free, and I
want to be free on my own
terms."
He called the new
identification by American
Negroes with their African
heritage "a healthy solution to
the problem in this country."
Commenting on the use of
violence Ntlabati said, "It is
obvious that the use of
violence in South Africa is
justified. I believe that in the
case of the United States
violence as counter-violence or
self-defense is justified.
"I would not support open
revolution in this country," he.
added, "because I believe it
