A group of UNC faculty
members and graduate students
have issued a statement in
support of the resolutions
passed by the Modern
Language Association (MLA)
at their annual convention held
in New York Dec. 27-29.
The statement is in rebuttal
to an earlier letter sent by 24
UNC and Duke professors to
the executive council of the
MLA, which denounced the
resolutions as part of what
they called a "New Left"
seizure of power.
A meeting for those
interested in the MLA
resolutions will be held today
at 3:00 p.m. in 103 Bingham.
The meeting was called by
David Stratman, a graduate
student in English who helped
draft the letter.
The resolutions from the
Petition Asks
Jeopardy Vote
A petition received Tuesday
calling for a campus-wide
referendum on so called
"double jeopardy" amendment
to the student Constitution
was officially handed over to
Elections Board Chairman
Minor Mickle and Cliff Tuttle,
special legislative services
assistant for validation.
The petition, containing
nearly 1,700 signatures, was
originated by the Northeast
Campus Constitutional Reform
Committee headed by Dale
Sims.
According to the procedures
outlined, the signatures must
be validated in order to assure
that the petition is acceptable.
When he handed the
petition over to Mickle and
Tuttle, Student Body President
Ken Day asked them to call on
Sims and other petition
organizers to assist in the
validation process where
appropriate and to report back
to him on the validation by
early February.

follows:
1) Condemnation of the
United States' role in Vietnam.
2) Abolition of the draft.
3) Condemnation of
"individuals and institutions"
who use the law to "harass and
repress certain writers" in
cluding Eldridge Cleaver and
Leroi Jones.
. 4) Repeal of the "anti-riot"
provisions in Public Laws
90-550 and 90-557, and
especially section 504 of Public
Law 90-575, which would
deny government financial aid
to students convicted of
participating in riots.
The counterstatement to
the letter criticizing these
resolutions is "an intention to
clarify the proper

professionalism within the

Day said, "I hope the
petition will be found to be in
good order so that we may
move to a vote on it before
February ends.
"Should the petition be
found valid, I will make a
statement regarding the
substance of the proposal prior
to the election.
"However," Day stated, "I
must admit to some initial
misgivings about the
amendment as proposed."
The petition calls for an
amendment to be added to the
student Constitution which
would read: "A student who is
prosecuted in civil or criminal
courts shall be immune from
prosecution by the Student
Judiciary for the same act."
This proposal was originally
scheduled to be voted on in the
referendum held prior to the
Christmas holidays but was
thrown out so that further
study could be made on its
content.

responsibility which were the
more startling for being
enacted in what had been
assumed to be a moral
vaccuum."
Referring to the letter that
condemned the resolutions, the
statement read "the current
reaction within the MLA
illustrates, perhaps unwittingly,
the growing tendency in
academic institutions to reject
the basic responsibilities of the
humanist as inimical to the
concerns of the literary
specialist."
The statement ended, urging
support for the MLA
resolutions and "insisting that
the 1969 MLA convention be
removed from Chicago."

Carolina center Rusty Clark
may have an inclination how
Wally Pipp, the old New York
Yankee first baseman once felt.
Clark, sitting out the North
Carolina State game
Wednesday night with, a
sprained ankle, saw his protege
Lee Dedmon score 27 points
and lead the Tar Heels in a
surging second half, which
culminated in an 83-63 UNC
victory.
And that was just as Pipp,
who took a day off with a
stomach ache, saw a youngster
named Lou Gehrig perform
one day, and Gehrig went on
to play more than 2,000
straight games and become the
greatest first baseman ever.
Pipp never started again.
It was sophomore Dedmon
along with Charlie Scott who
took Carolina from a close
36-34 halftime score to a 20
point victory.
Shooting 10-foot jumpers,
Dedmon garnered 17 second
half points after a sluggish first ;
period performance.
And he did it when the Tar ;
Heels were in trouble, playing
without Clark and, for almost
half the game, forward Bill .
Bunting, who fouled out with
more than 12 minutes
remaining.
Scott meanwhile scored 16
points himself after the
halftime break, many on fast
break layups set by the passing
of Dick Grubar and Eddie
Fogler.
Scott also drew the task of
guarding the Atlantic Coast
Conference's leading scorer,
State center Vann Williford,
when Bunting was sitting on
the bench in foul trouble.
"" Scott hung on Williford like
tarpaper, allowing him only
two field goals and a total 13
points, 10 under his average.
The Wolfpack were
introduced by the UNC band
with a rendition of "Old
McDonald Had A Farm," and
the first half resembled
barnyard basketball. Neither
team could handle the ball
effectively, and the Tar Heels
never could build more than a
seven-point lead.
State continued to play
poorly, and wound up with 29
t urnovers against UNC's
pressure man-to-man defense.
WTith just a two-point
advantage at the half and
Bunting on the bench with
three fouls, Carolina needed a
spark.
And Dedmon then arrived
for his best moment of is
career.
When UNC led only 39-38
early in the second half, the
Baltimore beanpole hit Bunting
with a quick pass underneath
for one bucket, then hit two
on the floor.
outside shots around a Grubar
jumper and suddenly Carolina
was ahead by nine. 17-38.
When State closed the gap
to 49-44, Dedmon hit two free
throws and got a tough field
goal close in during a
nine-point Tar Heel binge.

The students must also be "in

according to Miss Idol, who is
chairman of the Women's

"Good academic standing"
is defined as a quality point
average of 2.0 or better during
the last semester of .study.
"Bona fide junior and
senior-year women" are those
who have completed at least 60
semester-hours of work.
Chancellor Sitterson termed
the new policy "a step forward
for the University" and "a
significant step in recognizing
the maturity and responsibility
of our women students" at the
time of the announcement.

For History Research
Dr. Paul Pinckney, Assistant
Professor of History here, was
awarded a grant-in-aid for
post-doctoral research by The
American Council of Learned
Societies in late December.
Dr. Pinckney's research
project will be the Cromwellian
politics which are the politics
of the 1650's of England. He
will study the tensions between
the army and the gentry.
His work will be completed
this summer. He has previously
published articles on the same
subjects.

Miss Idol said women
students planning to take part
in setting their own closing
hours will be required to
attend orientation meetings in
the week preceding
implementation of the policy.
This includes women who will
not be eligible for self-limiting
hours at the time of
implementation but who will
reach eligibility sometime
during the spring semester.
Miss Idol said applications
for women students planning
to participate in determining
closing hours will be available
in dormitories and sorority
houses. She said housemothers
will probably receive the
applications next week.
The applications will list
requirements of the policy and
must be signed by parents of
those students under 21. They
will serve as records of those
who are eligible for
self-limiting hours.
"We are also working," Miss
Idol said, "on a number of
rules that will have to be
changed."
Students will be required to
sign out when they plan to stay
out past normal closing hours.

Drug
Arrests
Double
By BOBBY NOWELL
DTH Staff Writer
According to records of the
Chapel Hill Police Department,
the number of arrests for drug
violations in Chapel Hill
doubled in 1967-68 from the
1966-67 figure.
There were 48 arrests made
between July 1, 1967 and July
1, 1968. Of these, three were
local high school students,
three were from out of town,
and 42 were UNC students.
According to Detective
Lindy Pendergrass of the Police
Department, the arrests were
made for possession or use of
LSD, methedrina, marijuana,
hashish, and glue, with the
majority of these for
marijuana.
"Only eight arrests were
made that were not of the
'pusher' type that is kids
trying to sell," said
Pendergrass.
He added that "we got at
least five dealers selling in
Chapel Hill in the past year."
"However, there is no way
for us to tell the number of
people who have been hurt by
drug misuse in this
community," he concluded.
The penalties for drug
misuse normally vary with the
damaging potency of the drug,
although in certain cases this is
not so. For example, one can
be convicted of a felony for
selling or using marijuana,
whereas the much more
dangerous methedrine carries
only a misdemeanor penalty.
Pendergrass said most of the
48 case arrests are either
awaiting trial or appealing
sentence.
The most severe penalty
handed out in the past year
was a $1,000 fine and five
years in prison, suspended to
probation, for possession of
LSD. This is the maximum
first-violation penalty.
Many of the drug offenses
were reduced to "forcible
trespass," which carries a $50
fine and court costs.
