TUESDAY, OCTOBER 22. 1968 I ! "" Gladys ' t , I f k - The University and Community Committee, an action group of the Southern Students Organizing Committee (SSOC), set up a booth in Y-Court Monday selling Pepsi Colas for five cents in cooperation with the Durham boycott. Martha Smith, in charge of the project, was asked to close down by Tom Shetley, director of the Student Stores, because of a trustee regulation that prohibits any merchandising on campus not administered by the University. The booth was allowed to stay open when the Pepsis were given a way rather than sold. The money received was then classified as contributions rather than sales. The Durham boycott, sponsored by the Black Solidarity Committee, is being conducted against Northgate Shopping Center and several downtown stores, including all products of the Coca-Cola Company. Shetley defined his position as director of Student Stores as an officer responsible for enforcing trustee regulations. He said that the regulations did not cover the giving away of merchandise. The purpose of the Pepsi stand was to offset the sale of Coca-Colas on on campus, especially in vending machines. According to Shetley, all vending machines on campus are operated by the Triangle Vending Company under a five-year contract with the University. The Triangle Vending Company is a subsidary of the Coca-Cola Company. Shetley challenged the Pepsi stand Monday afternoon, asking Martha Smith where she obtained permission to operate the stand. Bruce Wells, chief organizer for the University and Community Committee, demanded to see the law in writing when he learned of the trustee regulation. When Wells requested to see the Chancellor, Shetley accompanied him to the assistant to the Chancellor, Dr. Claiborne Jones. Jones told them that the drinks could be given away instead of sold. The Pepsi stand continued to take in money the rest of the afternoon, and it will be open for the remainder of the week. The funds collected by the stand will go to the Black Solidarity Committee in Durham. Wells terms the Pepsi stand Staff Photo By Tom Schnabel "very effective," and he plans YOU'RE IN THE PEPSI GENERATION-At least, that's what it was in Y Court Monday as Pepsi to continue it on a regular Cola was sold for five cents each in support of the boycott of the Coca-Cola comDanv which was originated in Durham. basis. By BOBBY NOWELL DTH Staff Writer The heavy rains dumped by Hurricane Gladys on Chapel Hill over the weekend "gave us three weeks of life," according to Grey Culbreth, Director of University Service Plants. "It could be said we gained 21 days' water supply this weekend," he said. Rains beginning Friday night had totalled 3.96 inches by Sunday night, raising the spillway level at University Lake from an all-time low of minus 99 inches Thursday night to minus 83 inches Monday morning. Culbreth noted that the present Lake level is the same as on Sept. 30, when the first severe effects of the extended drought were being felt.

Commenting on the total accumulation this past weekend, Culbreth said, cTaking into account the usage of water by the community, we probably received a gain of around 20 inches in University Lake." Culbreth said he could not estimate a lake level at which the drought-striken community would finally be out of danger. "It. is not yet possible to evaluate the runoff from the rains," he explained. "The ground Friday was so dry that it soaked up virtually all of the water which would normally be runoff. Thus the runoff will probably amount to an inch or less." Culbreth also reported that the first water to run through the recently-completed pipeline tapping Durham's water supply may be today or tomorrwow. He said that one section of the 12-inch pipe, which will deliver one million gallons of water daily to Chapel Hill,, was completed Friday. But the heavy rains over the weekend prevented the necessary testing and preparing of leaks which must precede operation of the lines.

This white attitude leads to the black's difficulty in conceptualizing himself. But today the effort to form an identity is not only the problem of the black, intellectual. The search for a new identity separate from the white man's designation has begun, Lincoln said.

The demonstrators, most of whom were UNC and Duke students or former students, picketed outside the center while Southern Student Organizing Committee (SSOC) worker Mike Smedberg was undergoing his physical examination inside. The SSOC representatives had planned a "guerrilla skit" to be performed outside the center, but the performance was curtailed when irate Marine recruiters intervened. A SSOC official at the organization's headquarters in Durham said Monday afternoon that one of two "actors" wearing Marine uniforms was seized by a Marine recruiter who tried to force him into the induction center. The Marine officer was prevented from dragging the demonstrator off by the other demonstrators. He then summoned a police officer who succeeded in forcing the demonstrator inside, despite the protests of other SSOC representatives. The SSOC "actor" emerged from the center a few minutes later, and then the other uniform-clad demonstrator was forced inside where he was held a few minutes before being released. SSOC organizer Mike Smedberg was told by draft officials that he would have to return Tuesday for another blood test.

Mrs. Helen Moffitt, manager of Chase, showed their sandwich assembly lines, equipment and storage rooms to committee members and representatives of the Daily Tar Heel. She assured them that sandwiches are prepared and leave Chase fresh every day. But she added that their deliverymen are not obligated to pick up old snadwkmes, and that it is the responsibility of each canteen or business manager to learn the dating code and keep sandwiches that are more than a day old off the shelves. Mrs. Moffitt became manager of Chase in Sept. and acknowledged that "some of the students complaints were justified at first." But she added, "We have worked hard on these things and have very nearly corrected them." Chase prepares approximately 4000 sandwiches per day for sale on food counters in University businesses. NSA Delegates Interviews Begin Thursday By LAURA WHITE DTH Staff Writer Interviews for delegates to a National Student Association (NSA) conference on Institutional Racism will be held Thursday and Friday, Oct 24 and 25, according to Virginia Carson, NSA student coordinator at UNC. All students interested in applying for the delegation should come to Roland Parker II, Graham Memorial, between 4 and 5 p.m. on those days. The conference, to be held at Notre Dame on Nov. 28-Dec. 1, will be "an important starting point for action at Carolina in areas . . . related to the racial problem," according to the conference appropriations bilL Before leaving for the congress, the three delegates will prepare a full report, citing what things the university is doing about institutional racism, what the delegate himself believes, what he wants to do, what problems the delegate encountered in doing his research, whether the delegate is willing to work at the Conference and, later on the campus to solve racial problems. A letter for the USNSA states that "Competent, in-depth research into institutional racism in the university can be done on campus by concerned and willing students. The most important ongoing functions of this research should be educational and tactical in nature." The educational aspects to be researched by the delegation include: improving the UNC curriculum to include "black content" courses and "white identity" courses; university policies off campus, basically concerned with land-holding and expansion, university investments, and the draft; university discrimination in the hiring of professors, in admissions processes, in housing, job-study hiring, athletics, scholarships, and m the handling of racial incidents; the university power structure; and the cultural bias of compus life. A bill to appropriate $361.50 to cover the delegates' expenses to the conference passed Student Legislature last Thursday. The bill stated that "according to the credentials plank voted into the Constitution at the 21st Congress in Kansas, every student government must show positive steps it has taken this year to eliminate racism in its own community before its delegates will be seated." An amendment stated that the delegates must appear before the congress and be approved by the Ways and Means Committee.
