" . , & Levy, Zim: Support By CARLA HABER DTH Staff Writer Dick Levy announced Thursday afternoon that he will seek the Student Party (SP) nomination for student body president. Levy is a former vice chairman of the University Party and has been a legislator for both parties. He was associate editor of the Daily Tar Heel and has been named the best debator at the state student legislature for the third consecutive year. Although a senior, Levy will "be here next year if I win." Michael Zimmerman, former chairman of the University Party, will seek the SP vice presidential nomination as Levy's running mate. "We're running becuase we think we're strong enough to provide the necessary leadership," stated Levy. While favoring a strong president, Levy supports the notion that student government should be a relatively weak organization. 4 'The whole current movement on this campus is a healthy one," said Levy. "Organizations such as the BSM, SSOC and the Hayakawa Society now occupy a central position in campus affairs with student government more or less on the sidelines. "Student government was never strong," he explained. It has simply been strong enough to stand in the middle and keep anyone else from doing anything. I don't want to return to that." Levy was an unsuccessful candidate for the office of student body president in 1968 and lost his bid for editor of the Daily Tar Heel in 1967 and 1968. "I've run before," Levy admitted, "and I think I was 'Heels BlmnadeFo Slumber lato Semi-fin al By OWEN DAVIS DTH Sports Editor CHARLOTTE Carolina went into hibernation at the time of year everyone else is coming out.

"Student government has become too weak. Formerly they were too strong. What is necessary is a strong elected student leader who can stand up for what the students really want not the silent majority." Levy describes his platform as "moderately left." His major planks include: 100 active support of workers and janitors "If student government had actively supported the blacks, as they did at Duke, this whole situation would have ended by now." active recruitment of blacks and rural people total boycott of the Book Exchange. Levy is opposed to Book Ex funds earmarked for athletic scholarships, Tom Shetley's "duplicity" and the "larcenous" price system. self-limiting hours for all women of at least sophomore status. extended parietals such as women in men's rooms and elimination of "silly rules." redefinition of the general college curriculum. Center Aids Students By EVIE STEVENSON DTH Staff Writer By EVIE STEVENSON DTH Staff Writer "The Guidance Center can help any student decide on his major in time for pre-registration," said Dr. James W. Little, director of the Guidance and Testing Center. Dr. Little especially urged sophomores, who will be leaving the General College games of the season. They won anyway over Clemson, last in the ACC, 94-70. That put UNC in the semi-finals tonight at 7 against the winner of the Wake-N.C. State game played late Thursday night Carolina slumbered and blundered. The Tar Heels made 29 turnovers, a season's high. UNC shot only 42.7 percent from the field. There were missed layups, overthrown passes, everything that goes into an off Seek ': LEVY withdrawal from the NSA "What's hurting the campuses is these mealy-mouthed liberal groups that are afraid to take a stand on anything." Levy stated that he is running on a framework rather than on specific issues. "The whole campus needs to change its authoritarian outlook," he said. "It doesn't occur to people to start with freedom and then establish rules; they always start with restrictions and end up by having to abolish them one by one." after the spring semester, to take advantage of the Center's counseling service.

Therefore, Little asked students to begin the program as soon as possible. performance. Charlie Scott missed his first nine shots, going 0-for-7 in the first half, and scored only 11 points, his low of the season. The one player who performed well was senior center Rusty Clark, who had been in a playing coma himself recently. Clark scored 19 first points, finished with 22 half and got 14 rebounds. Bill Bunting perked ud in the second half to also score 22 points, and he had 10 Strik By WAYNE HURDER DTH Editor Lenoir Hall opened Thursday morning without disturbances in the presence of over 40 state patrolmen equipped for riot duty. Lenoir, which was ordered open Wednesday by Governor Bob Scott, was picketed from 4:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. by students, faculty and townspeople, numbering as many as 300 persons at times. State patrolmen and about 25 Chapel Hill police guarded the dining hall to keep entrances open for workers, delivery trucks and customers. Students who entered Lenoir throughout the day were greeted by a half-dozen police inside each door and by a Lenoir Hall employee handing out copies of a North Carolina statute prohibiting disruptions in the routine activities in public buildings. Negotiations between University Food Service workers and the University Administration were held Thursday, as had been scheduled. The talks began at 2 p.m. and ended around 5: 30. Mrs. Elizabeth Brooks, vice-president of the University Food Service Workers Association, said at a meeting in Manning Hall afterwards, that they felt "the meeting ; accomplished nothing." Mrs. Brooks, along with three other officers and representatives from each of the dining halls, met with two administrators, Joe Eagles, vice-chancellor for financial affairs, and Claiborne Jones, special assistant to the chancellor. Mrs. Brooks said that the administrators agreed to do something about three of their grievances: "that the management show respect to the employee by referring to him or her as Mr. or Mrs." adhere to the provision to classify temporary employees as permanent after 90 days employment (a statement to this effect was made last Friday by Eagles) "that the management stop overworking present employees to keep from hiring more." The employees said that more negotiations had been scheduled for 10 a.m. on Wednesday. Preston Dobbins, co-chairman of the Black Student Movement, said there will be a continuation of picketing every day, at 4:30 a.m to discourage workers from returning to work and to Pre-registration will be held from April 28 to May 2. The program begins with an initial interview with a vocational counselor. The counselor discusses the student's general background, goals, interests and plans. All information is considered confidential. The student then selects tests to be taken from those suggested by the counselor. (Continued on page 5) rebounds. But the reason Carolina won wasn't because it was good, but because Clemson was worse. The Tigers, the smallest team in the conference, were outrebounded 66-39. They shot 38.8 percent from the floor. They made 23 floor errors. And Clemson shot only 56.2 percent from the foul line. The game started as it should have with Carolina rolling up a quick 9-0 lead. But then the Tar Heels set the ers, Administration Bargain demonstrate to the administration the urgency of the matter. He told the crowd to expect a long struggle. He said the negotiations were the first direct communications between the administration and the workers. The workers reported that Jones had said a $1.80 pay raise was unlikely because of the state legislature which had been reluctant to approve a $1.60 minimum wage. The workers said that Jones had told them the administration would strongly urge the state legislature to give the workers a 10 per cent pay raise by July. Student Body President Ken Day and two other campus groups issued statements in protest of the governor's orders to keep Lenoir open and his sending in state troopers. Day said the "action injected added tension and risk to a volatile situation that otherwise had potential for immediate improvement.". Faculty members Thursday afternoon issued a statement commending the administration for having closed Lenoir on Wednesday and deploring "the political interference which has created new tension on campus by forcing the administration to reopen Lenoir Hall." The statement was drawn up at 11 a.m. Thursday. By 2:30 p.m. it had beensigned by 245 full-time and part-time faculty members. ' ' The Graduate Student Association, in a meeting Wednesday night, voted to send a telegram to the governor appealing to him not to use military force against students and asking him to use his influence to "remedy just grievances." Scott expressed his desire to keep Lenoir Hall open in a speech at Elon College on Wednesday. "I have today instructed the administration officials at the University in Chapel Hill to take whatever steps are necessary to keep the cafeteria lines open so that all students tempo of their play, and that meant mistakes. Clemson cut it to five at 15-10 and Carolina could never pull away by more than 12, which was its advantage at halftime. At the half the score was 45-33. The Heels dominated more in the second half, but only because Clemson shot poorly. Carolina made 18 turnovers in the final 20 minutes. Meanwhile Clemson guard Butch Zatezalo, the - v f might be served their meals without disruption or unnecessary delays," Scott said. The cafeteria had been closed on Wednesday following a couple of fist fights that took place Tuesday night when white sympathizers of the workers stalled the cafeteria lines. Reports early WTednesday said the Administration wanted to keep Lenoir closed pending negotiations with the workers. However, at 7:15 p.m. Chancellor J. Carlyle Sitterson issued a statement saying that Lenoir Hall would be opened and that he would try to have a meeting with the workers on Thursday. N.C. Republicans chool Disciplinary RALEIGH (UPI)-Repub-lican legislative leaders sent a letter Thursday to University of North Carolina Chancellor Carlyle Sitterson demanding to know what disciplinary action have been taken against studentsparticipating in Tuesday night's disturbance at Lenoir Hall. Senate Minority Leader Harry Bagnal of Forsyth County said he had a meeting with a delegation of Chapel Kill . student .Wednesday evening who were "requesting that something be done so that they could pursue their education without fear of riots, disruption and harassment." House Minority Leader Charles Taylor signed the letter, also. In a news release, the minority leaders said, "We feel that this disturbance demands response and if nothing if forthcoming from the governor's office or university officials, legislation will be necessary." A fight broke out Tuesday, night in Lenoir Hall, the main student dining hall, as black .and through shower. conference's top scorer, shot frequently. He finished with 28 points on 10 of 27 from the field. In turn UNC's Jim Delany shot free throws. With 50 fouls called in the game, it appeared the contest would never end. Delany shot nine second half foul shots, made six of them, and scored a career high of 12 points. The game lasted almost two hours, and there were no officials' time-outs. About the only thing the He also announced that an independent auditing team would begin examining time cards and payroll records "of all our Food Service employees to see whether any payment is due any one of them for overtime worked since Feb. 1, 1967." Wednesday night Scott ordered at least 50 state patrolmen to Chapel Hill and mobilized a National Guard unity in Durham for possible use in case of trouble. Approximately 40 state troopers came to Lenoir at 5:30 a.m. on Thursday to insure that cafeteria employees delivery trucks were able to get past the line of picketers. One black student, Edward students and white sympathizers slowed down the eating line in support of striking cafeteria employes. The employes had been on strike for 13 days and three other dining halls were closed. Lenoir Hall was closed Wednesday on Sitterson's orders, but reopened Thursday on orders of Gov. Bob Scott. Riot-equipped police stood by as the dining hall reopened without incident. .... Taylor, speaking at a hastily called news conference, denied there were political intentions in the letter which he and Bagnal signed. "We are trying to get the facts," he said. "It was strictly a letter of inquiry." Bagnal could not be reached for comment. The letter dated March 6 (copies of which were widely distributed) said in part, "We would like to know that action has been taken to punish or suspend those students participating in the disturbance March 4." It further stated that "letters and telegrams from many An -:tO A DTH Photo by Tom Schnabel Over Tigers Tar Heels did well was shoot foul shots, and they had plenty of opportunities. Carolina had 37 attempts and made 30 for 81.1 percent Carolina Coach Dean Smith could only breath a sigh of relief after his team took its twenty-third win against three set-backs. "It's obvious we didn't play very well," he said, "and I think if you asked Clemson Coach Bobby Roberts, he would say they didn't wtll either. Peay, a junior, suffered a leg injury when he was struck by a truck going through the line at, what some demonstrators said, was an excessive speed. Peay was taken to the infirmary, x-rayed, and later returned to Manning Hall on crutches. There was no report of the outcome of the x-rays. Only about four black workers showed up for work, according to one demonstrator. For the past few days the usual turnout of black workers at Lenoir has been 10 or 15; approximately 140 workers have remained off the job, closing Chase Cafeteria and the Monogram Club. The number of picketers (Continued on page 6) Question Policy people over the state have bton received requesting that action be taken and the students be expelled and made responsible for compensation of damaged property. The very foundation of higher education in North Carolina is in jeopardy. Action must be taken against those who participated in this March 4 disturbance and who participate in any future disturbances. "Would you please notify us of what action you plan so we may determine if legislative action is necessary," the letter concluded. Taylor, who said he did not have control over when the letter was sent out, denied that the Republicans were threatening Sitterson with legislation. "This was just a letter of inquiry," he insisted. In response to a question, Taylor said he thought "two days was enough time" for Sitterson to act "with what we understand are a limited number of students involved." Taylor also denied that the letter indicated the republicans had a lack of confidence in Sitterson's administration of university affairs. The Transylvania County legislator said if the Republicans contemplated introducing legislation, "we might be joined by others." Asked about the timing of the letter when the campus was reported tense, Taylor said he did not think it would incite anyone. Asked why copies of the letter were distributed, the House minority leader said he had nothing to do with that. Not all republicans were in agreement with the letter. Rep. James Johnson of Cabarrus told a reporter he did not feel bound by the letter. Rep. James Carson of Mecklenburg, along with Johnson, felt the letter should have been discussed in caucus before being sent. Rep. James Holshouser of Watauga, the state Republican chairman, said he had talked with Taylor and Bagnal about the letter, but had not seen it before it was sent "I was pleased by the way Rusty Clark came through for us. It looks as if he has come down here to have another great tournament "Charlie Scott didn't shoot well, but he did a lot of other things that helped us." Smith said that Dick Grubar, who suffered a spill in the second half and may have injured his back, would be checked Friday to determine his condition,
