At Least, It Was Saturday For Visitation Forum By TOM SNOOK DTH Staff Writer A speak-out and open forum made up of student members of the visitation committee and student body President Ken Day will be held Monday at noon in Y-Court. Day will be present with Bill Darrah, co-chairman of the visitation committee to field questions concerning the committee, its formation, work to date and consider suggestions as to proposals of individual's plans for visitation. All student members of the committee are invited to attend and faculty and administration members are Major Parties Won't Back Class Oliice beekers: JJay By TOM GOODING DTH Staff Writer In an announcement that may mark the end of the class officer system at Carolina, Ken Day, Student Body President, said, "As far as 1 know, neither student party is actively recruiting candidates to run for class officer positions.

Day said he felt there was "a clear need to set the record . straight about the hard work and involvement of a large number of students ranging from the residence college, officers to student committee members who have all worked tirelessly appeared in a manner which to them to be of maximum effectiveness in getting the best possible visitation program for the students of this campus." In a reference to SSOC criticisms, Day maintained that the committee as established was the most effective and expedient means of achieving a visitation program within the actively interested or actively seeking partisan endorsement for these positions. And I would suspect that as a result there will be only a handful of independent candidates if there will be any at all," said Day. Day currently sees no reason for the parties to change their position and will not himself make any effort to change the situtation saying, "1 by filling in below their and entertainers. Play Football With A Round Ball These Guys In McCorkle Place Monday TTT context of orderly government. He will be available to answer questions about the decision to enter the committee process on Monday. Day said, "I believe that the vast majority of students on this campus would rather work for the prompt adoption of a reasonable visitation policy than disrupt the University and jeopardize the chances of a visitation ruling by plunging blindly ahead in the quest for an all-or-nothing decision." He continued, "While I have tried to work with all groups interested in contributing to the effort in getting a visitation policy, the time has come to stand clearly apart from those personally do not feel under any compulsion to make any effort to change this situation. "It marks the decline of the class officer system. However, I believe that for a least this fall we should leave open the opportunity for anyone who wants to take on this particular responsibility," according to Day. Campus elections will be held on Nov. 12 th and at this time there are no candidates for class officers. However, elections will be held for the fall seats of the Men's Honor Court and the Women's Honor Court. "There is one function unique to class officers and that is for people who are interested only in class activities. That is the reason we are leaving open the option for anyone who wishes to run. "These activities can not be handled in any other way, so if there should be a need for a class officer 1 believe someone will come forward and run, if not then most likely no one will run,"' Day said. The current action being taken by the parties applies only to the Freshmen, Sophomore, and Junior class officers. Senior class officers are elected in the spring and a decision concerning them will be made at that time. "U is possible that a different decision could be reached, especially in lieu of the senior class officers responsibilities in regard to commencement, class reunions and alumni functions."

"In addition," Day said, "I believe it it incumbent upon those most intimately involved in these negotiations to exercise their best judgement in strategy and timing so as not to engage in those tactics which are ultimately futile because of the unnecessary backlash they elicit. "This student body has the right and the duty to express its views clearly and forcefully but I stand clearly with those who place effectiveness ahead of vocal showmanship for its own sake," Day concluded.

Do you stand up and cheer or do you sit and frown, or are you not stirred either way? A great deal of controversy has arisen in articles expressing resentment toward the traditionally Southern song. Some people argue that "Dixie" and the Stars and Bars are a symbol and reminders of a diseased and corrupt Southern life. Racism is often associated with the song and with the waving flag. Students have various views on the subject. John Purdie, a sophomore from Fayetteville, does stand and cheer when "Dixie" is played. "To me it means a Southern spirit but not racism." Purdie says the song gives everybody a chance to yell and be a bit more exhuberant. "That song ("Dixie") is to me what "Hxodus" is to a Jew." says Robert Pearson, a freshman from Gastonia. When asked if the song should be banned, Pearson said the idea is ridiculous. "They could cut out "We Shall Overcome", too." He asserts there are no racial overtones in "Dixie." Jim Hornstein. a freshman from Maryland, says he thinks it should be played in a Southern school. "Sectionalism is a good thing. Anything that gets such a unified and enthusiastic reaction is good." llonisiein ate Desperation Drives By OWEN DAVIS DTH Sports Editor AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colorado Somebody forgot to tell Gary Baxter the President called a bombing halt. Baxter, the Air Force Academy's quarterback, blitzed, bombed, and completely shreaded Carolina's pass defense here Saturday afternoon in the finest game of his ..college career. The result was a 38-15 Air Force victory over the Tar Heels. Baxter emmassed 296 yards total offense, 272 through the air, and took part in every Falcon touchdown. The West Covina, Calif, junior passed for two touchdowns and ran for another two scores. And he did it with ease against a weak UNC defense. He completed 16 of 25 passes and at least four of his incompletes were dropped by receivers. Given sturdy protection by a stiff blocking offensive line, Baxter had plenty of time to pick his pass receivers. It was a change of role by Baxter and the Falcons, who had relied on the running game in their first six games. Leading rusher Curtis Martin was injured the first time he carried the ball, so Air Force took to the air against UNC. Martin was soon forgotten. The Falcons discovered they could - -complete . passes on simple down-and-out and turn-in patterns, and Baxter methodically threw to split end Charles Longnecker and flanker Ernest Jennings. Carolina corner backs were helpless as the Falcons doubled receivers on one side of the line or split them across the field. Longnecker caught eight passes for 86-yards, one touchdown, and Jennings five for 149 and another score. But the game belonged to Baxter who had been unimpressive before today. In his first six games, he had completed only 41 per cent of his passes and had thrown only one touchdown. Moreover, he had been intercepted four times. But that was before he saw the Tar Heels. . Carolina played without several defensive linemen, who were lost due to injuries, and also without split end Peter Davis, except one play, and quarterback Gayle Bomar the entire second half. The Tar Heels did not exhibit their usual porous rushing defense, however, as ' DIXI X the Falcons without Martin couldn't run, and the UNC line contained Air Forces' wide sweep. But UNC never came close to Baxter on most of his"" passing attempts, and his receivers were able to complete their patterns and wait for the throw. The Tar Heel offense moved well occasionally, especially sophomore halfback Don McCauley. In his best game of the season, McCauley caught seven passes for 122 yards and a touchdown and ran 47-yards on five attempts. Bomar in the first half and Ricky Lanier in second hit McCauley on swing passes as he came out of the backfield. Exhibiting nifty broken field running, he turned in several nice gains. But Carolina's pass blocking held up about as well as a paper-thin dike against a tidal wave. Bomar and Lanier were thrown for a combined 68-yards in losses, and numerous times they were chased from the backfield. Carolina finished with only 133-net-yards rushing, after Bomar alone gained 173 yards rillaman Announces Liowering Of Prices By BILL LINDEN DTH Staff Writer Food Service Director George Prillaman has announced that prices for UNC Boycott Due to announcement of price reductions in UNC sandwiches, the student boycott which was originally scheduled for next week has been called off. Rafael Perez, who spear-headed student protest of UNC sandwiches, said Saturday there is no longer any reason to hold the boycott. "Most of our demands have been met," Perez said. "George Prillaman (Director of the University Food Services) said Friday that UNC sandwiches will be comparable in price to those by Made-Rite but with a thicker spread." The boycott was planned E thinks "Dixie" should have a place in history because it is history. "Some people are putting too much meaning behind the song. I feel that there is no racial connotation," commented Alline Bagley, a sophomore from Sunbury. Nancy Nelson, a sophomore from New York, says she does not stand up for "Dixie", but she doesn't mind the song. Kelly Alexander, a Negro junior from Charlotte, says "Dixie" is just another song to him. The difference to Alexander is in what it stands for. "To some. 'Dixie' brings out a rebel spirit which is a positive aspect." The negative connotation according to Kelly is one "of a plantation and the darkies coming home. Another Negro student Richard Swain from Legrange, thinks of the mid-19th century when he hears "Dixie" but not in a detrimental way. Swain feels the somi has a place in a Southern school. Swain does not stand when "Dixie" is played because "I am a Negro and I don't feel it's part of my heritage. "Dixie" is a southerner's song and therefore the southerner lias more right to stand and cheer." " Some people no longer consider "Dixie" as a Civil War song but only as a Southern song and think it has a place to boost spirit at an athletic event as it represents a geographic South. last week. From UNC's standpoint, it was a lousy game after halftime when Bomar went out. Carolina trailed only 14-0 at 9 the half, but the Heels were sluggish in the final thrity minutes. The young sophomores who replaced the injured regulars made sophomore mistakes, and plenty of 'em. UNC was penalized for 92-yards, and many of these penalties occurred after Carolina had made a significant gain. Several times Tar Heel players didn't know where to line up in a formation, Coach Bill Dooley finally settled on the power-I offense after running a double-wing, passing formation earlier. There were also many missed blocks and tackles. It was Bomar who took the part of passer early. In chilly, 50 degree weather, with a 15-mile-per-hour wind, Bomar put Carolina ahead 6-0 with just over five minutes gone in the first quarter. After a Falcon punt from the endzone, UNC set up at the sandwich would be reduced by five to ten cents, effective Monday. The action came less than 24 hours after Student Legislature passed an Cancelled for the breakfasts served Nov. 6, 7 and 8 at Lenoir Hall and Pine Room. Prillaman told Perez it will be impossible to get Made-Rite sandwiches on campus. The University Food Services, according to Perez, has lost money for the last three years. The UNC sandwich operation keeps the Services from losing additional money. Prillaman said he would welcome specific recommendations concerning the improvement of the sandwiches from any individual or committee. "We plan to keep a close watch on the sandwiches from now on," said Perez. Racism ' in the field with their master Fai AFA 46. From there, Bomar hit McCauley on a swing pass down the left sideline, and McCauley side-stepped one defender and followed the blocking of Bill Dodson and Bucky Perry across the middle scooting for a touchdown. The extra-point kick was blocked after a high center snap. Air Force made it 7-6 early in the second quarter after an 84-yard drive. Baxter completed six passes and then ran the final 11 yards himself when he ran out of the pocket and dodged two defenders. Carolina came back after the ensuing kickoff, and, with the help of 20-yard McCauley run, kicked a 29-yard field goal. Don Hartig's boot made the score 9-7. Thereafter, the game was Air Forces Baxter bombs. Late in the second quarter, Baxter sent Jennings straight down the field from his 22, lofted a pass to the UNC 35 where Jennings caught it over his shoulder behind Rusty Ross. He sped for a 78-yard touchdown, longest in AFA (Continued on Page 4) appointment bill with an attached amendment calling for a student boycott of breakfast at Lenoir Hall and the Pine Room November 6, 7, and 8. Antecedents to the boycott included a student-expressed discontent with the sandwiches which brought about a student petition presented to the Food Service through residence college action. When no positive action resulted, students organized a picket and boycott of the Circus Room Snack Bar. The amendment calling for the boycott of Lenoir came as a last resort after a month of inaction by the Food Service, according to Rafael Perez, an organizer of the Circus Room boycott. According to Tom Shetley, director of Student Stores, the University Food Service does not know how to increase the quality of the sandwiches. Shetley stated last week that he had "pigeon-holed" the idea of lowering prices because he did not consider it of prime importance in the sandwich issue. Prillaman's price reduction decision came after a meeting Thursday of the Campus Stores Advisory Committee, with emphasis on the sandwiches. During the discussion, Prillaman explained that the production of sandwiches was a new business for the University Food Service and was now "more efficient, making price reductions possible." Prillaman told the Daily Tar Heel that "we cannot take the taste-test as a mandate? our sandwiches are selling very well. We hope the volume continues or increases and that the quality will come into line with the quality of Made-Rite s-ndwiches." Because of the boycott, students have been purchasing other more expensive rnrnrnornial frrrl cnK o c emme and beans or stew the snack bars. Thus the Food Service has not incurred any financial losses due to the boycotts. Asked what is being done to raise the quality of the sandwiches now, Shetley assured the students that he is passing each complaint on to the dining hall that produces them. Shetley said that he is not inclined to allow Made-Rite sandwiches to be sold on campus.
