Franklin Street was blocked for more than an hour as slightly inebriated celebrants stood in front of Jeffs singing fight songs, chanting cheers and weaving back and forth in a snake dance. Not only was Jeff's doing a booming business in beer sales, b"ut Harry's with their outlandish prices on the golden hops had people standing in line waiting for one of Ralph's waiters to drop a can into a paper bag. It's not unusual for the trees in the upper and lower quads to be covered with toliet paper, but it is an occasion to be noted when the residents of Old East take to the campus to drape the Old Well and nearby trees with the top product of the Scott Paper Company. When the group got tired of the scenery on Franklin Street, they headed up to President William C. Friday's house. They were met a the door by Friday's daughter who told them that her father wasn't home. l9 J o me Bmcke n. e6T) p CllvLtL TOMB o R em He o via SOUL The front line of the march, not to be deterred from their original purpose, lifted her to their shoulders and she lead in the spelling of "C-A-R-O-L-I-N-A." She had a little trouble at the last, but the crowd didn't mind Scott is the greatest, and move over UCLA. As the cheering ended, President Friday appeared, probably thinking that SSOC and the BSM had decided that they wanted to tail: 2 while. The crowd asked Friday to.. lead them to Chancellor Sitterson's house, and Friday tried to decline. No use, Bill. He ended up walking to the Chancellor's house at the front of the column. Carlyle wasn't home, but the crowd wasn't really disappointed. They had gotten Friday to join them, so things had to be great After all it's not every day that the President of the Consolidated University takes it upon himself to lead a victory march on the residence of the chancellor of the university. All Day Viiil 14 . Third Eastern Victory y Heels Set Record J v 2 : rnoto oy wooay uiam Some Dozed Through It All Set F of Monday By WAYNE MURDER DTH Editor An all-day vigil in support of the University Food Service workers will be held Monday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Polk Place. Student Body President Ken Day and other student leaders, including at least four candidates for president and all candidates for editor, are asking students to turn out for the vigil "to demonstrate to the workers have in the current crisis." Over 600 students have signed a letter to be sent tol Governor Bob Scott telling him that "we will preserve our determination to support the workers and to ignore as far as is humanly possible the irrational taunts of those who persist in citing false reasons for the current tension." The executive committee of the University Board of Trustees on Friday passed a resolution which would open the way for expulsion or discharge from school of those persons who disrupt the educational process or incite others to do so. One resolution states "any student who shall engage in activities which impair, impede or disrupt the educational Day said, "While some progress has been made to resolve the workers' grievances, there unfortunately remains more to be done. "In such a time we must be steadfast in our committment processes of the University or to see a just solution. Dick Levy, John Kelly To Suspend Campaigns Two candidates' for president of the student body, Dick Levy and John Kelly, have announced plans to suspend their campaigns until the current workers' strike is resolved. The two candidates, both independents working separately, issued statpments Saturday requesting their supporters to cease campaigning immediately. Kelly plans to distribute letters about the Vigil, to be held all day Monday, under every door on campus, and campaign in support for the workers. Levy's efforts will consist o Wilson To Continue Campaign For Offic By ERICA MEYER DTH Staff Writer 'I'm not going to stop campaigning," said SP student body presidential candidate, Bob Wilson. "I think this is a time when we've got to change leadership." "I support the workers' rights completely," he continued, "and I'm going tjo work for the gain of these rights through the way I think best. I believe this to be change to some leadership with backbone. Wilson stated the philsophy he is running on. Over the Id; year or so, we've seen student leadership dwindle to almo (Continued on page 4) speeches to various groups of students as well as going door to door on behalf of the workers. John Kelly called for students to solidify their support for the workers. "We need to organize student support, especially that of the moderates, to demonstrate that we as students will not be a party to the 'injustice of the Food Services management, the Administration and the State of North Carolina." "The workers' demands are cimnla Inrifimnf a " T ..r continued. "Admittedly, there are other important issues at this university ... but the workers' grievances must be dealt with before anything else becomes relevant." Kelly noted, "It is detrimental to the workers to make their demands a campus political issue. Kelly said there is no reason for not granting the workers' grievances, and "this is a (Continued on page 4) t other activities in which the University is engaged, or who shall counsel, encourage, or instigate or incite others to do so shall be subject to suspension or expulsion." A similar resolution was passed that makes such activities grounds for suspension or discharge of faculty members. Day emphasized that the vigil on Monday is not meant to be a strike of classes but just an effort to "show peaceful and positive support for the workers." Day also called on all students to "honor the boycott (of Lenoir Hall) in a united effort to see the legitimate grievances met." The vigil is being organized by an aide to Day, Buck Goldstein, and by the president-elect of the YMCA, ' Joe Shedd. Shedd and Goldstein are trying to arrange to have legislators come to the vigil to speak informally with students. In addition, they will have tables set up with stationery so that students can write their legislators on the spot. Two candidates for student body president, Dick Levy and John Kelly, have pledged to turn over their campaign organizations for use to try to get as many persons as possible to support the workers and attend the bevcott. We must not lose sight. of the grievances nor of the sense of humanity that motivates our concern." The executive committee of the trustees also passed a resolution that stated "we appreciate the efforts of . . . (Continued on page 4) By OWEN DAVIS DTH Sports Editor COLLEGE PARK, Md.-Charlie Scott went into that part of the world which few men have known, cooly flicked his wrist which controlled the basketball, and dropped the ball into the basket and Carolina into the NCAA Championships. North Carolina was playing Southern Conference Champion Davidson here Saturday afternoon in the Eastern Regionals Finals, and the score was tied 85-85 when Scott got the bah with seven seconds left. He faked right, drove to the middle, stopped just back of the foul line, and then went into that relatively unexplored territory way above the floor, delicately suspended. He shot over three helpless Wildcat defenders from 18 feet out, and the ball dropped into the net with two seconds remaining on the clock, giving the Tar Heels an 87-85 victory and a trip to Louisville, Ky., for the college basketball finals next weekend. Scott not only leaped as few others can, but he. also jumped squarely into a spot reserved for only those who come along at rare moments, and who prove that they are among the chosen people who can perform super-heroic feats. He is what legends are made of. The game winning shot alone did not make Scott glorious in the eyes of Carolina followers. Rather it made him mystically brilliant. Scott scored 32 points in the contest and kept UNC close in the second half with near perfect shooting. And this followed his performance of a week ago when he won the Atlantic Coast Conference for the Tar Heels with 40 points against Duke. The slender, 6-5, 170 pounder hit 10 of 13 second half shots in a game which was tight all the way, connected on four of four free throws and did a superb defensive job on Davidson forward Jerry Kroll, the Wildcats best outside shooter. Kroll made only six of 15 shots and fouled out with 1:05 left Scott missed only one of his last seven shots, and all of those came when they were needed most. UNC trailed for most of the second half, leading only twice in the final 14 minutes before Scott's shot. The score was tied 14 times in the contest and the lead switched hands on 28 ocassions. The largest difference for either team was six points when Carolina had a 56-50 advantage, and that was the only time the spread was that wide. And for six points to be wide, the game has to be suffocatingly close. After being deadlocked at 60-60 with 14:26 remaining, the Tar Heels trailed for ten minutes. Carolina came within one or maybe two, but the WTildcats never let their edge slip away until late. Ail-American center Mike Maloy, who has no equal at his position other than a giant in Los Angeles named Lew Alcinddr, was brutal on the boards and allowed the Tar Heels few opportunities for the second shot. Maloy, 6-7, grabbed 13 rebounds as the 'Cats won the board battle 39-32. His scoring, 25 points for the game, also kept Davidson continually ahead. But after several missed chances to take the lead, Carolina finally did it with 4:29 left. It came on a Rusty Clark turn-around shot, which made the score 80-79. Maloy hit a jumper, then Scott scored. Kroll drove for a bucket, then Doug Cook hit a lay-up for Davidson. It was a costly drive, however, because Cook was called for charging after the conversion and left the game on fouls. UNC's Jim Delany hit a free throw to tie it at 85-85, and then a key play came. Kroll, driving on Gerald Tuttle, ran over the 6-0 senior. That not only gave Carolina possession with 1:05 showing, but also took Kroll out of the game on fouls. The Tar Heels went to their four-corners offense, waiting to take the last shot. After a time out with 13 seconds left, the move for the basket began. "The play was designed for either Clark, Kill Bunting or me to take the shot," said Scott. "They were trying to force me to the right, so I faked right and cut left. I got the ball with seven seconds left. I knew the shot would go in. Davidson Coach Lefty Driesell blamed himself for the Wildcats' inability to stop the Scott shot. "We went to the man-to-man over the zone. It was my decision," he said. Besides Scott, it was a game for the big men. Carolina's Clark hit eight of nine from the field for 16 points; Bunting hit 7 of 12 for 22. Bunting shot very well from 15 feet while Clark workerd underneath against Maloy. Bunting also got eight rebounds. Davidson's Cook scored 18 himself and was a tough rebounder. Davidson played man-for-man throughout, but Carolina went to its seldom-used 1-3-1 zone for much of the second half in an attempt to neutralize Maloy. The Wildcats actually shot better against the zone, hitting 45.9 per cent after a weak 30.8 first half show. Carolina was excellent from the floor, making 53.8 per cent for the contest.
