In a statement announcing
his candidacy, Cumming said
the DTH "has been slanted,

past few months by the
potpourri of splinter
publications which have
littered the campus."

"I .think we can help the

can by suspending campaigns,"
said VTravis. .,' "The workers'
strike" is the "most important
thing in my mind. I want to
win the election to prevent
anything like this happening
again within the next year."
Travis said he would like to
see the room rent J in the
Residence Colleges increased
by two dollars a semester.
"This should be money
specifically earmarked for the
Residence College system,"
said Travis.
"The Residence Colleges
could use this additional
money for intellectual pursuits.
With the current budget, they
use the money for social
functions."
Travis added his wish to
make the Residence Colleges
and Greek houses more
autonomous, with more
control over their own
government. The students in
the past have been extremely
far as student
workers with grievances to be
represented by the workers'
association.
j Mrs. Elizabeth Brooks, vice
president of the UNC
Non-academic Employees
Union, told the students that
they would accept a pay hike
to $1.80 if it was done through
reclassification but only if all
the workers were reclassified so
as to receive at least $1.80.
i The vigil started at 9 a.m.
with about 50 or 60 people
and gradually expanded as the
day warmed up and students'
classes ended.
From a strict adherence to
the regulations that
microphones not be used
during class time, the students
began gradually making greater
and greater use of them to sing
folk songs and make
announcements.
The crowds reached their
peak from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
when there were 400 -to 500
persons attending the vigil.
Most of them sat around
singing songs that mocked
Governor Bob Scott or sat at
tables and wrote letters to
Scott , or their legislators on
stationary provided by Student
Government for that purpose.
Roger Thompson, organizer
of the letter-writing project,
said about 300 students wrote
letters.
At least two legislators,
former UNC track star Jim
Beatty and Hargrove "Skipper"
Wilson
Bowles visited the vigil and
talked with students.
They told students that
most legislators still perceive
the trouble here as being not a
labor-management conflict but
an attempt by radical students
to cause trouble.
Student Body President Ken
Day explained at a press
conference Monday morning
that "there continues to be
significant student sympathy
for the general cause of the
workers" and that the vigil
represents "a peaceful and
positive expression of support
by some of these students."
The organizers of the vigil,
Joe Shedd, president of the
YMCA, and Buck Goldstein, an
aide to Day, said that up until
the vigil there was no visible
way that those students who
did not want to picket could
support the workers. The only
means they had was to boycott
and buy food from the
workers.
: "As a result," they added,
"we fear people outside of
Chapel Hill have misinterpreted
the amount of support the
workers have among students."
: The Rev. Bill Coats, an
episcopal chaplain and the
leadoff speaker for the day,
explained that by participating
in the strike, students were
showing both their support of
'fthe "workers and their desire to
have the University run from
Chapel Hill and not the
governor's office in Raleigh.
"The state is operating in a
climate of fear," Coats said.
"All the issues are being
interpreted in terms of 'law
and order.' "

"The administration hasn't
been at all fair to the women
students at Carolina," says Bob
Wilson, candidate for the
presidency of the student
body.
Wilson feels the coeds have
been slighted by the
administration in two respects.
First, he feels that sophomore
as well as junior women should
be allowed to live off campus.
Second, Wilson is in favor of
allowing sophomore women
the privilege of self-limiting
hours.
These additional women's
privileges should be allowed,
Wilson feels, for several
reasons. If a coed has been
away from home for a year in a
university as large and as active
as Carolina, she should be
capable of handling herself
either in an off-campus
situation or in determining her
own hours.
Provided her parents have no
objections, a coed should be
free to do as she pleases, and
the university should have no
authority in the matter.
"We are continuously told
how intelligent the
undergraduate women at UNC
are the administration has got
to do more than call them
adults they've got to treat
them as adults," says Wilson.
Considering the new hike in
dormitory room rents and the
administration's policy which
allows men to live off-campus
after the freshman year, Wilson
feels the administration is
discriminating against women
, students unduly. He demands
that the administration and the
Dean of Women's office take
immediate action to remedy
the situation.

Folksinger Joan Baez will
appear in Carmichael
Auditorium tonight at 8
o'clock in a benefit concert for
the striking UNC
Non-Academic Employes'
Union.
Miss Baez, who was in
Durham Sunday and Monday
to participate in a series of
draft seminars, agreed to make
the appearance after several
UNC students talked with her
after her presentation at Duke
Sunday night.
Tickets will be available at
the door beginning at 6:45
p.m. today at $2 per person.
All proceeds will go to the
UNC Employees' Benefit fund.
Curtis Parker, one of the
students who spoke to Miss
Baez Sunday, said that her
accompanist had told them
that the protest singer, who a
few years ago deducted the
percentage spent on the
Vietnam War from her income
tax payment, has been on tour
for the past month and was
planning to go home in a
couple of days. Miss Baez left
him with the impression that
she would not be available for
a UNC concert.
Parker said that as soon as
he and Kirk Odie explained
that the concert was for the
benefit of the workers she told
them, "Sure, if its needed to
support the workers and give
them the economic power to
stay on strike until they get
their demands met."
The performance tonight
will also include Lee Darvis
who plays at the Stallion Club
in Durham.
If Carmichael is filled
tonight, Buck Goldstein, who
is organizing the concert, said
the workers will get enough
money to continue the strike
for a week.

Dick Levy has announced
that he is "definitely running
for the position of Student
Body President."
Levy said he would continue
his campaign "even though I
didn't get the Student Party

The preliminary competition
for the Ugliest Man On Campus
is now being organized on the
Intra-Residence College level,
according to Vincent
Townsend, Campus Chest
chairman.
The Ugly Man Contest, a
project to raise money for the
Campus Chest, begins as each
house in a Residence College
elects its candidate and backs
him with per capita funds.
Persons interested in the
contest should contact their
house presidents.

The fraternity Ugly Man
competition is based ox the
total amount of maney
donated by the fraternity. This
year, the campus chest has
been adopted as an official part
of the Inter-Fraternity
Council's Greek Week
competition, from which the
best pledge class will be
selected.
Jim Gray, IFC president and
Jim Tarlton, IFC Greek Week
chairman, last night introduced
the rules of the Ugly
Contest and the Carniva

Also planned for the
Campus Chest Charity Fund
Drive, the only such
camp us-wide drive, is an
auction. Because of the
Carolina basketball game, the
auction, originally planned for
Thursday night, has been
postponed until April 15.
Members of Alpha Phi
Omega National Service
Fraternity, who are
coordinating the Campus Chest
drive, visited over 150
for donations for the auction.
The items will range from steak
dinners to clothing.
Funds collected from the
Ugly Man Contest, the auction

between eight student
organizations, including
scholarship funds and the

needs."
The workers strike will play
the main role in Levy's
campaign. "Right now I'm
devoting my efforts solely to
ending the workers strike."
Levy's efforts include
"speaking to various groups of
students as well as going door
to door on behalf of the
workers."
Describing the issue as one
of "paramount" importance,
Levy said, 'There are other
important issues on campus
which must be dealt with after
this strike is settled."
Levy stressed "student
welfare" as one of the main
issues of concern. "We're in
danger of forgetting student
welfare altogether. There
should be an all-night snack
bar, a telephone in every room
and vending machines in each
residence college.
"Chase Cafeteria should
serve as a South Campus
recreation center as well as a
food service center."
Under women's rules Levy
favors "self-limiting hours after
the first semester of the
freshman year."
Levy also said that the
"General College needs
restructuring with as many
pass-fail courses as the student
chooses. The Residence College
system needs a massive
infusion of money and creative
energy."
Concerning the Student
Stores, Levy said the "prices
must be lowered."
Listing "state affairs" as one
of his main concerns, Levy
said, "I plan to speak twice a
week around the state to
explain students' feelings and
campus issues to various
officials.

Zimmerman to run as my
