"We decided that we wouldn't organize a spring Experimental College," said chairman Roger Thompson. We also will not make a budget request, which means that there will not be an E.C. next year." Thompson stated that there would be no "swan song and no excuses." He spoke of a co-ordinating committee meeting last Wednesday in Parker saying that 44The people who organized E.C. last semester didn't feel like it was in the best interests of educational reform on campus to organize the E.C. again. "Experimental College, in the eyes of its founders was originated to make educational reform an issue on campus," Thompson continued, "and it is now." He advised students who are concerned about educational reform to a) work with the special advisory committee on the general college curriculum (Merzbacher Committee), b) help the black student movement with their curricular demands c) work with the "various fledgling departmental committees" (as in the history and sociology departments) and d) help institute Residence College courses for full credit, such as Philosophy 99 in Scott College and Botany 55 in James. Thompson also recommended "lobbying for one idea now before the Merzbacher committee which would allow the freedom of the Experimental College but give full academic credit." (Continued on page 3) Action Government Funds Oranizations Student Body President Ken Day announced Thursday that since the inception of Action Government last fall, there have been 11 A ction Government grants totaling $247.95. The average grant has been somewhat over $22 per group which is under the $25 maximum allowed per project. The grants were designed primarily to be an incentive for groups to organize. Other support was to be sought as needed to carry out the programs. Action Government as a whole was designed to encourage individual groups of students to organize around common interests and act on them. Day termed the program as at least a limited success in light of the number of groups which have been organized and have sought money from the . ?' , . ' 'I t'H . i) ""!, V .

They talked about what actions they should take on campus concerning UNC black students' demands and argued with the Dean of Men. The brief and peaceful "occupation" followed a rally in Y-Court at noon in support Action Government pool. He noted that the program nevertheless provided an opportunity for those who otherwise might not have come forth to take the initiative to develop new ideas and programs which might not have been conceived. Day said, "In this sense, Action Government has indeed been a full success." He commented that the grants which have been approved so far have covered a wide variety of areas. While some have been small programs which otherwise would have been handled elsewhere than in Student Government, others have represented genuine originality on the part of the organizers. Day said while remaining Action Government funds are extremely limited, any additional requests will be considered thoughtfully. .

After speeches outside for about 30 minutes before a crowd of approximately 300, someone urged the students to move into South Building, the main administration building, in order to continue the talks. About 100 students then marched into the main lobby in the first floor, sat down, and began talking about what action they should take on campus. . .iV - A. No attempt was make to get the students to leave. For about 30 minutes the students talked about the 23 demands of the UNC Black Student Movement and the possibility of disaccreditation of ROTC at UNC. At that point Dean of Men James O. Cansler walked in and the students started shouting for him to make a speech. After a few minutes Cansler came out and addressed the students. He told the crowd that "there is a great' deal being done about the causes that you are espousing." "Many of you feel the causes that you are espousing are important, and I agree. I'm sure you are impatient and that is understandable to a degree," he added. After that he answered questions from the students for about 20 minutes. He told the students that 'there are ways of dealing with your concerns constructively The whole atmosphere of the "occupation" was one of joviality.

At the rally a member of UNC's Black Student Movement, Jan Coffield, told the crowd "I hope the Administration here takes note of what happened at Duke and gets busy." Another speaker, George Vlasits, a full-time organizer for the Southern Student Organizing Committee (SSOC) said, "the police aren't really our enemies ven though they may do things that ar&n'tnfce to siuaents wno were inn-iauy not doing anything. "Fighting in the streets with the cops will get us nowhere," he told them. ''We aren't going to accomplish anything by tearing up cop cars," he said. "They'll only tax us more in a few years to pay for the cars," he added. "The police are not the ones who control society. They are not the ones who can change the society. The problem is where the power lies." That power lies with people who are far removed from the Thousand Begin Fraternity Rush By BRYAN CUMMING DTH Staff Writer Over 1,000 freshman boys will be set loose upon the UNC fraternity system at 2:00 Sunday afternoon. As they approach any of the 24 houses, they will glance at each other nervously as members of each fraternity shout their welcomes to their prospective brothers. To some, it is the greatest quantity of vacuous conversation ever crammed into five days in the history of human relationships.

These are a few key administrators the trustees, and the state legislature, he said. Vlasits concluded that the "most important thing is that we develop our own demands and reasons for them." A third speaker, Adolph need, saia tnat it was not a matter of making disorder for the sake of disorder," but of calculating every step to reach the group's goal. The black students, in their demands, called for changes in the admissions procedure to eliminate alleged bias towards minority groups, increased financial aid for Negroes, the firing of two administrators, and the establishment of a Department of African and Afro-American Studies. Chancellor J. Carlyle Sitterson rejected most of the demands in his reply on Jan. 25 but appointed several committees to look into some of the demands. others, it is the time for the most important decision a young man can make in his college career. It's that hectic period when fraternity DeoDle and prospective fraternity people get to know each other. It's known as formal spring rush. Rush invitations have been sent to most of the 1,150 boys eligible for rush. Freshmen and sophomores with a 2.0 average are eligible. The following rush schedule has been set up by the IFC: bushes, trash and towels (above center) that littered the campus . .

He broke a North-South doubleheader record with 38 points, more than half the USC total. And the way he did it is a story in itself. The 160-pounder attempted. 23 shots and hit 17. In the second half, he connected 'on nine of 11 attempts. Nonchalantly flipping in running one-handers from the baseline, Roche held off the Tar Heels when they threatened. Carolina never got the lead in the second half. UNC defenders found it impossible to guard Roche one-on-one. It was tight up to the end, when Lee Dedmon tried a desperation 20-footer for UNC at the buzzer, which could have sent it into overtime. Carolina had its chance to tie or win it late, but couldn't put in the crucial points. The Tar Heels never trailed by more than eight, and for the most part the spread was 5-to-6 in the last period. With 1:19 remaining in the game Rusty Clark tapped in a missed shot to bring UNC with three at 67-64 Seconds later Clark hit a lay up, but was called for traveling. That nullified the basket. Charlie Scott then deflected the pass and went the length of the floor to lay it in with just 56 seconds left, and the score was 67-66. Three- times with this score, UNC had a shot at the lead. But all three shots, two in. -"close, one outside, were missed USC's BUly Walsh hit the top of a 1-and-l foul situation for the final difference with 4 seconds on the clock. Dedmon tried the desperate, but it was way off. off. Carolina trailed by three at the half, 32-29, even though it shot 50 per cent from the floor. The patient Gamecocks did even better, however, hitting 52 per cent. The lead switched hands eight times in the opening half.

Alan Lassiter, a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon, is the Rush Chairman for the Inter-fraternity Council this year. On Jan. 12 he addressed a group of around five hundred boys in Memorial Hall who were interested in rush.

On offense, Roche got the ball whenever possible. He dribbled outside, carefully setting up the pack to free himself. The Gamecocks waited up to a minute to shoot, always taking the good shot. This was the game strategy St. John's used to give UNC its only other defeat. With Roche dribbling outside, South Carolina set up a three-man screen at the foul line with Tom Owens, John Ribock and Bob Cremins. That freed Roche to drive the baseline, and he couldn't have done better with a rifle 7rT a ections For March 25 Student Legislature Thursday night set March 25 as the date for spring elections. The resolution passed on a voice vote after an effort by legislator Rafael Perez to move the date back to March 18 failed. Perez said that if elections are held on March 25, runoffs would have to be held two days before spring recess, after a number of students had already left. Speaking against the amendment, Harry Diffendal said that holding elections on March 18 would deprive ' students of campaign,-as well as making it more difficult for the parties. The Legislature also approved a bill to set up new provisions for filling legislative vacancies. Speaker Richie Leonard, from the floor said the bill was only a stopgap measure, designed to give greater participation on the local level to filling vacancies. The bill allows local legislative bodies the power to choose among candidates submitted by the party chairmen. At present, vacancies are by the rushees to register the names of those fraternities which they preferred. About 100 interest cards were filled out later by those who didn't attend the rush meeting. Interest cards were available in the Dean of Men's Office until February 10. After all names were checked for eligibility, those with at least a 2.0 academic average were sent rush invitations by each fraternity listed on their preference cards. Alan Lassiter gathered all of the invitations and arranged 3 . a. 4-4- 'I 1 f , - "t : i , I - r wanted to that Douglas Knight gets the message when ue uirew wuu uiera touay ai l.

It made the Tar Heels work for the shot too, and surprisingly, Gamecock center Owen dominated inside. He blocked five shots and grabbed nine rebounds. After the halftime break, the Gamecocks tried only 19 shots but hit 13 of them for 68.4 per cent. That gave them 59.1 per cent for the contest. Carolina, meanwhile, shot a good 49.1 per cent, but it was playing McGuire's game. The Gamecocks didn't dare lose it. Carolina is now 18-2 overall, USC 16-3. Set filled by party caucus. At the beginning of the session, John Kelly was elected chairman of the rules committee, by an 18-9 vote. Kelly, Perez, John Parker and former rules chairman Ken Starling were nominated for the post. Starling and Perez withdrew. John Williford moved that nominations be set back a week, but the motion failed after Speaker Leonard pointed out that at the previous meeting, he had specially announced his intention to fill the vacancy. Kelly said that as chairman he would enforce the absence rule, which requires that no member miss more than 2 meetings without a valid excuse. Also approved by the Legislature were: a constitutional referendum to establish a residence college federation. bills establishing committees to study the possibilities of refrigerators in men's dorms and of adding (Continued on page 3) their distribution Tuesday, Feb. 11.
