To DiffendaFs Appointment Postponed Until September SL By GERRY COHEN DTH Staff Writer Student Legislature voted Thursday evening to postpone consideration of the appointment of Harry Diffendal to fill a vacancy, until the first fall session. Mark Evans motion to postpone carried by a 22-18 vote after over an hour of debate, which began when Speaker Rafael Perez read a letter from Alan Albright appointing Mr. Diffendal to the vacancy created by the resignation of Dick Calloway from his seat in District 1. Rep. John Parker of Craige moved to seat the UP appointee, a former member and former chairman of the Finance Committee. Parker said, "The appointment is entirely in order it will be an affront to Mr. Diffendal not to seat him." Alan Hirsch, of Granville then suggested that it was "... an affront to the people of Ehringhaus who refused to elect him. We can not be subject to deals, we are being pushed around by politicos." Parker responded that Diffendal was a legal resident in an apartment as of May 4, and took Mr. Hirsch to task for questioning the procedures by which the appointment was made. Louis Black, a legislator from MD I said, "Alan Albright is paying off his campaign manager... we should stop this game where a close knit group can put in its own people. The body then voted 18-16, on a roll call vote, that the decision of whether or not Mr. Diffendal' appointment would be approved would be decided by a majority vote. Evans then moved to postpone, arguing that the "... the whole thing is too muddy to make a decision right now we ought to wait until fall when all the facts are in." Parker then denied any political chicanery played a part in appointment. When the that had the vote was announced, Parker resigned from Legislature. An before the end of the strike to have a meeting between us (the workers) and Chancellor Sitterson, but nothing has happened yet," said Mrs. Elizabeth Brooks, president of the University's Non-Academic Employees Union, Thursday. Referring to the unidentified company which reportedly will take over the university food services operation, she said: "We haven't seen the new food service contract yet, but I'm hoping that it will offer us a better deal." Mrs. Brooks indicated that the executive committee of the workers union had met with a faculty committee which explained some of the provisions of the new contract to them. "It (the new contract) is almost the same thing that we have now, but it seems to me to be a little bit better," she said. W7hen questioned about the amount of money lost by the workers during the strike and the present pay situation, Mrs. Brooks said: "We lost a lot of money on The letter costs $10 and the strike. We are getting our promises to eventually return $1.80, but nobody has gotten the purchaser $10,240. a full paycheck since the end of the strike. We'll get our first one on May 16." Agents of the federal government, as indicated by Mrs. Brooks, are presently reviewing the records of the present time. "Conditions have improved since the strike. We are being treated with respect as people. Most of the employees that I have spoken to feel satisfied with the way they are being treated." "People are being classified, and are getting paid according to their classifications," she said. "We have communications with our director (Robert B. Foy, Acting food service director) and he seems to be interested in us and is willing to help us in anv way that he can." Mrs. Brooks indicated that the lawyers for the workers union have been meeting with the state attorney general, and are planning to meet with Chancellor Sitterson. "The lawyers haven't heard from the chancellor about the meeting time yet." she added. "The non-academic employees of the university will hold a meeting at 3:o0 p.m. Saturday to discuss the new contract." said Mrs, Brooks.

Arson Suspected In Durham Fires i J ( By BOB LOCK Special to the DTH A rash of fires in Durham last night created speculation that the burnings were started by arsonists. At 10:10, the Durham Police Department was notified that the Venable Tobacco Factory was burning. Witnesses claimed that an unidentified man had run from the building just before the blaze broke out. The blaze started in the back of the building and spread to the front. The interior of the building was completely destroyed. Four injuries were reported including three firemen who received minor injuries. One spectator, a UNC student was hospitalized after falling off a building that he had climbed to watch the fire. As the fire raged out of control for more than two and one-half hours, Durham firemen and volunteers were fighting several other blazes in the area. Firemen answered a call at 2227 Summit Drive at 10:45 but were unable to stop a blaze that completely destroyed a two-story frame house. The Venable fire was the last to be brought under control Firemen were just beginning to leave the scene after 4 a.m. Thursday.

It is not known whether the cleanup will be completed in time for UNC students to utilize the only public outdoor pool. Hurder, Dobbins, Dietz Feted By Yack C omtro versial . By NANCY STANCILL DTH Staff Writer Three seniors have been chosen on an "entirely new basis" for the Yackety-Yack's Frank Porter Graham Awards, according to Yack Hditor Greg Dearth. This year's winners are Wayne Hurder, Jed Dietz and Preston Dobbins. "Winners have been chosen in past years by a Yack committee of juniors," said Dearth. 'This year, after consulting with members of Student Government and student organizations, I looked for senior leaders who are unafraid of real commitment and involvement," the editor said. Dearth noted that since the Yack originated the award in 1963, the prerequisites have been a 3.0 academic average, excellence in leadership and outstanding contribution to UNC. "The system was perpetuating itself," Dearth said. "Non-committal, non-controversial students were selected-people who simply did their jobs well. 'The award became meaningless and redundant," he added. "We looked at the career of Frank Gets Graham Awards By BOB ARRINGTON DTH Staff Writer Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity kidnapped the house mothers of the campus sororities Thursday. The house mothers were taken to the Lambda Chi Alpha house about five p.m. They were given a dinner by the fraternity and held at the house until the sororities agreed to pay a "ransom" for them. The money used to ransom the house mothers will be given to the Arthritis Foundation. No specific amount was required from the sororities. Student Body President Alan Albright indicated his support of the stunt in the following statement: "Whereas, the Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity, as part of the Arthritis Fund Drive, has done much service to the University in its kidnapping of sorority housemothers, I hereby congratulate that fraternity for its action. "Rather than initiating prosecution proceedings, I am pardoning these individuals and thanking them for their intended service to the University. 44 Furthermore, I am declaring Sunday, May 11, Arthritis Foundation Day and urging all sectors of the University Community to support this worthwhile cause," read Albright's statement. John Dabney, head of public directions for Lambda Chi Alpha, said the stunt was designed to get publicity for the drive as much as to raise money. Jhe major event of the drive, said Dabney, will be the Gymkhana an auto skills driving contest which will be held Sunday. The Piedmont Sports Car Club of Durham, as well as Lambda Chi Alpha, is sponsoring the contest. The Gymkhana will begin at two p.m. in the Ram's Head Parking Lot. Entry fee is $2.00.

Dearth noted that as many as four seniors may be designated for the honor, but "no others rise to the level of these three." The citation for Wayne reads: "Wayne Hurder conscientiously on the Daily Though his editorials and position news coverage drew he strove to arouse the Rndv to involvement.

Hurder agreed to refuse draft service in Vietnam. "His action stemmed from a love of the American Ideal and a conviction that the time has come for America to practice those ideals." Jed Dietz's citation reads: "Jed Dietz was active in Student Government-a Morehead Scholar who fought hard for academic reform, women's rules and greater student participation in University decision making. ''Silencing those who once called him a political opportunist, Dietz sacrificed hopes of political participation by returning his draft card in April." Dobbins' citation reads: "Preston Dobbins, a student leader from Chicago City College, soon sought and assumed responsibility of the black community on UNC's campus. As co-chairman of the Black Student Movement, he called on the conscience of the Unviersity to end racial inequality. "His efforts were in part responsible for the establishment of an African and Afro-American Studies Program, improved working conditions for non-academic workers, and an increased of the Black student s a predominately white position in university. "His leadership, though not without error, provided the catalyst for change and re-evaluation. In the image of Dr. Frank Porter Graham, he is indeed an 'apostle of a new social order.'
