CHARLESTON, S.C.
(UPI)-This racially-troubled
city enjoyed a day of
comparative calm Saturday but
braced for another ' mass
protest march Sunday led by
the Rev. Ralph Abcrnathy
against two strike-bound
Charleston hospitals.
Abernathy spent the day at
his Southern Christian
Leadership Conference
headquarters in Atlanta
mapping plans for the march
and preparing a renewed
attempt to win collective
bargaining rights for the more
than 400 striking Negro
hospital workers.

night of a dawn-to-dusk curfew
Saturday with more than 600
National Guardsmen patrolling
the streets. Numerous curfew
violations were reported for
the firs-; two nights of 9 P.M.
to 5 A.M. restriction, but no
serious incidents have occured.
A hearing on contempt of
court charges against
Abernathy and 14 other
protestors was continued
indefinitely Saturday at the
agreement of prosecutors and
defense attorneys. Abernathy
and the others are charged with
violating an injunction limiting
pickets at the state Medical
College Hospital.
Abernathy was released
from a one-week confinement
in the county jail when he
posted $500 bond Friday
night. He left prison vowing to
remain in Charleston until the
striking Negroes "gain their
bargaining rights."
He said he intends to make
Charleston his home base,
though he may leave the city
from time to time.
Today
He predicted eventual
success for the unionization
movement but only after a
great deal of "suffering and
sacrifice."
He had words of praise for
his jail cell and some
objections.
He said the jail was one of
the cleanest of the 24 he has
been in, but that it had "the
worst food of any jail I've ever
seen. I can't see that anyone
would serve food like that out
of meaness; it has to be out of
poverty."
A group of Negro hospital
workers, led by James Orange
of the SCLC field staff, were in
Columbia, S.C, Saturday to
demonstrate during President
Nixon's visit to the home of
former secretary of state and
supreme court justice James F.
Byrnes, who was clebrating his
90th birthday.

COLUMBIA, s.C.
UPI-President Richard M.
Nicon, en route to the
Kentucky Derby, stopped off
in Columbia today and
extended birthday greetings to
90-year-old elder statesman
James F. Byrnes.
Minutes before the chief
executive arrived, police
wrestled to the ground and
arrested seven anti-war
demonstrators who gathered
near the presidential ramp and
began waving a blood-red flag.
A scuffle broke out when
officers tried to wrest the flag
from them and the
demonstrators were carried
bodily to a police bus and
literally thrown inside.
A few other war protestors
shouted, "This is free
America," but their comments
were drawned out by other
members of the crowd who
encouraged the officers with
shouts of "kUl 'em," and "bust
their heads."
By the time Nixon arrived,
however, the scuffing was over,
and he declared:
"We are here to celebrate
Gov. Byrnes 90th birthday,
but more importantly, his 63rd
wedding anniversary."
About 4,000 persons were at
the airport to meet him, and
thousands of others lined his

Special to the DTH
There are a variety of
religious institutions in Chapel
Hill which welcome UNC
students to, participate in their
worship services. Yet, it is
almost common knowledge
among students and ministers
that the majority of Carolina
students only irregularly attend
religious services, if they attend
at all.
Several campus ministers
and students were recently
interviewed at random to
determine the reasons why
students shun religious
participation in Chapel Hill.
The Reverend Stan Smith
leaned back in the brown
leather chair of his University
Methodist Church office and
took a swallow from the soft
drink in his hand.
"Looking at the total

picture, I'd say that
participation in formal
religious activitiesand
informal, for that matter is
minimal", Smith began.
Those who did come to
church on Sunday mornings,
he continued, came out of
habit or because their girl
friends wanted them to go.
One student had even told him
that he came because he liked
to hear the principal minister,
Reverend Watson, comment on
Carolina's basketball games.
A few, he stated, came out
of a commitment to the
church. Of those who did not
attend, Smith said:
"College is - a time when
people question
everything that includes
religion. The students who
come up here have pretty
much been under the rule of
their parents and have adopted
the religious views of their;
parents.
College is a time when they
question their whole life style.
Often times, they do not
attend formal worship because
of real feelings that they have."
Smith said that after a
period of rebellion against
parental domination and
imposed religious views, many
students do, in fact, "come
back" to a religious faith of
their own.
The associate minister,
remarking that he thinks
religion still has significance for .
modern man, held, however,
that the established Christian
church is in danger if it
that belief in God really runs
counter to the present cultural
norms. This is not a Christian
society. It's an agnostic society
among intellectuals. Students
face the same problems that all
members of the society
experience."
Rabbi Howard Rabinowitz
of the Hillel Foundation stated
that it is a traditional Jewish
belief that each generation sees
God in its won light.
He held that religious
participation among Jewish
students is "good," but
admitted that much of this
participation is due to their
common cultural background.
The Rabbi said that many
students may participate in the
religious ritual "for a variety of
reasons" and not necessarily
because of religious belief;
In his office in the Wesley
Foundation, the Reverend Bill
Coates, Episcopalian chaplan,
maintained that the diversity
of student life draws students
away from religious
participation.
"At this time of life, there is
so much to explore there are
so many exciting things going
on elsewhere that we shouldn't
expect church participation",
Coates said.
Both Coates and Devereux
seemed to agree that the
institutionalized church may
repell some students.
"There is a certain integrity
that the church ought to
have it should have it by its
deeds and by a certain aspect
of joyf ulness which it presently
A bespectacled sophomore
about to enter the Methodist
church stated that his friends
said "they didn't get anything
out of church services."
"They feel like if they want
to believe in something, they
can believe in it on their own",
he said.
Another coed was asked
why she made the effort to go
to church on Sunday mornings.
She said that worship
services were a "way to feel
close to God." Her escort
described them as a
"soul-cleansing operation."

Across campus in his third
floor Bingham Hall office
amidst the noise from outside
construction work, Father
James Devereux, Catholic
priest and English instructor,
appeared to be in almost
complete agreement with
Smith.
"There's a large interest in
the subject of religion, but not
in religious practice", Devereux
commented, citing the sizeable
enrollments in religion courses.

Most of the students
interviewed agreed with the
ministers that there was not
much enthusiasm for religious
