The concern in Chapel Hill schools is not the content of any
particular newspaper but the overall impact of allowing
indiscriminate selling in the halls, according to principal at
Grey-Culbreth Jr. High School.
W. W. Edmonds replied Tuesday to recent actions by the
school board and seventh-grader Danny Cloak concerning the
youth's selling of the "ProteanRadish," a radical underground
newspaper.
Edmonds said it doesn't matter whether the newspaper is the
"Grit," a conservative oriented paper, or "The ProteanRadish."
There is a policy which states nothing can be sold by a private
group or individual in school, he said.
Edmonds suspended Danny Oct. 21 for three days for selling
the Radish in school after orders were given prohibiting any sales.
The school board passed a motion Monday night whereby only
school-sponsored groups could solicit or ask for contributions at
the schools. Exceptions to the rule must be approved by the
board.
The board left the way open, however, for Danny and others
interested to form a club and thus become school-sponsored.
Danny and his sister Connie, an eighth grader, mentioned last
week they were trying to form a "freedom of the press' club
which would sell several different newspapers.
Danny said Sunday, however, they were having trouble finding
a teacher willing to be a sponsor.
Danny said he favored the Radish because "it gives
information where the other ones hide it. Papers are educational,
and it says in the Constitution they may be sold."
His father, Frank -T. Cloak, an assistant professor of
anthropology at UNC, replied to accusations that Danny is being
put up to selling the paper.
"It's Danny's own idea. He read the paper, liked it and
thought it would be fun to sell.
"After all," Cloak continued, "he'll be draftable in seven years
and I believe he has a pretty good grasp on how things are in this
country."
Danny, sharing a seat during the crowded meeting with Radish
staff writer and convicted draft evader George Vlasits, did not
address the board during Monday's meeting. -
Connie gave a brief talk to the board, however, saying profits
from Radish sales would be donated to the school or used to buy
gifts for the needy.
The board referred all action concerning the club to School
Superintendent Wilmer Cody and Edmonds.
Cody said Monday that generally he has no objection to the
club although he's reserving a final decision until he meets with
Edmonds and interested students.
Edmonds declined Tuesday afternoon to make a decision and
r;id he first needs to meet with the students and find out the
i xact format of the club.
"I can't say how or when this will proceed," Edmonds said,
''but we will look into it. No meeting has been set as yet and we
need to get a better insight into what they (the students)
propose." '.-

A Student Government

on store operation to the first

Advisory Committee on
Student Stores.
The stores Committee will
meet today. Three students sit
on the committee with faculty

Manekin said Tuesday that

Last year the Student Aid
Office awarded $135,000 in
scholarships, $45,000 in
grants-in-aid and $20,000 in
fellowships.
"The amount of money
available for new scholarships
has declined drastically over
the last few years," Manekin
said. "Mr (William) Geer,

To increase scholarship
funds, Manekin suggested that
grants-in-aid be cut to $40,000,
which he said was consistent
with Athletic Director Homer
Rice's plan to de-emphasize big
time recruiting.
In addition, Manekin
suggested that graduate
fellowships be increased to
$30,000 to "enable more
qualified grad students to
attend Carolina" and that "all
the remaining profits from the
stores go to the Student Aid
Office."

"Apartmentalized suites" will be made available for the first
time on Thursday to students living on South Campus, according
to residence college co-chairman Richard Stevens and Fred
Culbreth, assistant to the Dean of Men.
Stevens indicated Tuesday that students presently living in
South Campus dorms (James, Craig, Morrison, Ehringhaus,
Parker, Teague and Avery) can now convert their suites into
"Apartmental suites," with two rooms housing residents of the
original suite, plus a social room and a study room.
A "Suite Rearrangement Request" released by Culbreth and
requiring approval of the individual college master or house
mother listed the following conditions for suite rearrangement:
that all occupants of the suite are in agreement on the
request and have approval of the college master or house mother;
that the expense of the rearrangement and responsibility for
any damages to furniture will be borne by the students of the
suite;
that only suites with one or more occupants per room can be
approved for rearrangement;
that the University reserves the right to abandon the
arrangement "if it. should prove to be detrimental to the health
and well being of the occupants or their neighbors";
that the University Physical Plant will carry out all
arrangements;
and that the University is not responsible for storage of any
furniture belonging to students.

Editor's note: This is the
third in a series of articles
concerning the problems faced
by campus residence colleges.

DTH Staff Writer
Craige Residence College, in
an attempt to break away from
the residence college system,
has introduced amendments to
the Residence College
Federation and Student
Legislature asking to become
independent.
Paul Hoch, president of
Craige, explained, "We would
like to become separate from
the system and from the
jurisdiction of the Men's
Stores Recraeste
$800,000 has been paid on the
Daniels building," Manekin
noted. "The remaining sum can
be liquidated over a
twenty-year period with
$40,000 set aside per year."
According to present plans,
the Daniels building will be
paid for in 10-12 years, said
Manekin. '
A central concern of the
students on the Student Stores
Committee will be
establishment of a Student
Stores Board of Directors.
Manekin suggested last year
creation of a board with three
students, one student

Noting that Craige,. a

is different from others, Hoch
said, "Our problems in dorm
living are separate from the
undergraduate men living in
University housing.
"We consider ourselves a
different type of student, more
mature, who can handle his
own problems."

continued, it leaves the dorm
free to handle its own
problems. .

No action was taken on the
proposal last spring.
"If we are to achieve greater

memorandum to committee
members last spring.
"A board of directors could

As far as cost to the individual student, Culbreth listed the
following options:
"Students in the suite rearranged can get bunk-beds for the
sleeping rooms for $3.00 per per son per year from the Physical
Plant.
"An additional $3.00 per person per year will be charged if the
Physical Plant furnishes the study and social rooms (furnishings
for these rooms will include six study tables, a sofa and two
chairs)."
"Bunk-beds are now available for individual rooms, those not
taking part in the suite rearrangement program, at a charge of
$3.00 per person per yeaj." .-
The Physical Plant, according to Culbreth, has in stock 50
bunk-beds and 12 of the living-room type suites. This will allow
for twelve suite rearrangements at the presnt time.
"We'll try to expand the service and the available furniture
according to the students' demands," said Culbreth.
"This isn't an attempt to make the South Campus dorms into
apartment houses, but these rearranged suites will be the closest
thing to apartments on the campus," Culbreth explained.
Stevens indicated that the idea for the program came about
last year when eight Morrison residents petitioned the Committee
on Residential Life to convert their suite into an
"apartment-like" unit.
- "The petition was approved and the proposal was accepted as
an experiment," said Stevens. "The experiment worked quite
well; so a proposal toexpand the idea to the whole University was
put before the Chancellor and was approved last summer."

An angry crowd of black
students appeared before the
Chapel Hill School Board
Monday night to demand the
firing of a school teacher they
charge "displayed a racist
attitude."
Ken Atwater, a senior at
Chapel -Hill High School
(CHHS), was spokesman for
the group and charged Michael
Perna, a part time Spanish
teacher, with inciting a riot,
displaying a racist attitude and
using profanity. Atwater asked
the board to dismiss Perna
immediately.
The board decided to hold a
public hearing on the case
Saturday morning, at 9 a.m. in
Carrboro Auditorium.
Atwater's charges stem from
an incident Oct. 22 when a
crowd of black students were
allegedly making loud noises
outside Perna's classroom.
Perna, a graduate student at
UNC who also teaches a
between men and women so
that we can function as a
separate coed unit.
''Wewant the
administration to treat us as
adults and allow us to make
our own programs and accept
the responsibility for them."
, As a step in achieving its
independence Craige has
abolished all house
governments. They have been
replaced by an Executive
Council which includes a
president, vice president,"
secretary and treasurer. Each
of Craige's six floors has one
representative.
Hoch explained that
graduate students are not
interested in "playing"
government.
"With this simple structure,
representatives can come to the
council with an idea; we will
consider it and then back then
idea if we like it.
"We are letting individual
people come up with different
ideas. It lets them have a part
but no continual
participation."
Memorial Scholarship
Will Be Established
Ken Ripley, UNC student, is devoting this week through
Friday "to typing papers for those who need them typed"
for contributions to a memorial scholarship established by
the University in memory of three UNC students who
drowned Saturday night.
Any money beyond expenses will be added to the
scholarship fund. Ripley may be reached at 1725 Granville,
telephone 933-2635 or the Daily Tar Heel office.
The victims were his friends, he said, and "I feel this is
the least and most important thing I can do for them."

Spanish III class at the
University during the morning,
supposedly tried to quiet the
group.
Perna's and Atwater's
accounts differ after that.
According to Atwater,
Perna called one of the
students a "damn nigger."
Amost violent exchanges
followed, he continued, with
one of. the black students
finally asking Perna if he knew
he was risking his life. Perna
allegedly replied, "I know it. I
risk it every day."
"There ain't no excuse for
calling anyone 'nigger,'"
Atwater said in front of the
110 people packed into the
board meeting. "You talk
about students not having
respect for teachers; well,
you'd better get teachers who
respect students first."
Atwater said he reported
the incident to School
Superintendent Wilmer Cody
but received no reply as to an
investigation.
He added the idea is to try
to foster creativity, and so far
the idea is working
considerably better than last
year.
Projects are geared toward
what everyone wants to do
because, Hoch pointed out,
programs lose support when
geared toward a particular
group.
Since Craige has become
coeducational, Hoch and Fran
Shamberg, vice president of
"Craige," feel the atmosphere has
changed considerably.
One of the big changes in
the social life is. the reduction
in the formalities of dating.
"You do not have to worry
about dating. If you want to
talk with a girl, you call her up
and see her without having to
do all your work before seeing
her," Hoch said.
Miss Shamberg added,
"With Winston isolated there
were not many opportunities
for seeing a boy. With this type
of informal dating, you don't
have to leave the dorm to do

"Your time is growing
short," Atwater continued.
"Cody talks about outside
agitators but now you have
inside agitators."
To - Atwater's remark a
crowd of blacks chanted "right
on, brother."
Cody explained to the
group that an investigation
headed by CHHS Principal May
Marshbanks had indeed been
completed with Perna given a
formal writ en reprimand for
his action. The charge of
racism, however, was dropped,
according to Cody.
Atwater, sporting a black
and yellow "black power"
button, answered, "If this
agitator ain't out, you'll have
trouble."
Perna did not answer
accusations in front of the
board and only asked for a
speedy hearing as soon as
possible "because they (the
students) need to be. heard
quickly, plus I need the chance
to present my view of the
incident."
Perna already gave his
version to faculty members in a
memorandum the day after the
incident. In it, he said he went
to the group making noise and
told them "how little I thought

An outdoor memorial
service for Charles Baker, Don
Lewis and Alan Moody will be
held at sunset Thursday, Nov.
6, at 5 p.m. in McCorkle Place.
The three sophomores were
victims of a canoeing accident
Saturday night on the Neuse
River while on a weekend
retreat sponsored by Granville
College. Junior Albert Hudson
was the only survivor.
Sponsored by Granville
Residence College, the
half-hour service is scheduled
to consist of discussion of the
three boys by their friends,
poetry readings, prayers and
selections of the late
sophomores' favorite music,
according to Granville
Governor Mike Padrick.
All three students were
residents of Granville College.
Dress for the brief service is
informal. The Rev. Robert
Johnson will conduct the
service. William Geer, director
of Student Aid, has also been
asked to speak. Alan Moody
was one of his students.
Throughout the service,
bells from the Chapel of the
Cross will toll. They will be
rung by a student from
Valhalla House, in Granville
West, where all three victims
lived last year.

with their rude manners."
He said they responded by
jeering and charged he would
never have talked that way to
white students.
He said he then asked
several of his students if he
didn't get just as mad with
them when they were
disruptive and they agreed.
"When this was followed by
more strident racial charges,"
Perna said, T said hotly, 'well
if I've insulted you, you just
stand up for yourselves; if you
didn't stand up for yourselves,
then you would be acting like a
nigger. "
"Now whether I leave you
with this time-bomb all to
yourselves or stay around as a
handy token racist," he
continued, "I feel you should
know the above (his
explanation). I have spent too
much of my time fighting old
white racists to take (this)."
Following an explanation
by Dr. Roy Lindahl, chairman
of the board, that the board
coufd not dismiss or take action
against Perna without a
hearing, Atwater replied,
"Well, get a hearing going and
then dismiss him."
Atwater's group responded
with a loud cheer.
Baker's funeral was held
yesterday afternoon in
Bluefield, W. Va. Six students
from Granville attended the
service.
The bodies of Moody and
Lewis had not yet been found
as of Tuesday evening. Dean
Frederic Shroeder said an
"active search" was still being
conducted, including the use of
helicopters. Search operations
will continue for at least "a
couple of days," Schroeder
said.
If the students are not
found by then, they will be
listed as officially "missing."
Students interested in
attending the Granville
memorial service should
assemble under the Davie
Poplar at 4:50 p.m. In case of
rain, the service will be held in
the Wesley Foundation.
The service is only one of
several commemorative actions
taken by students on campus
this week.
In memory of the boys,
Student Legislature will not
meet in session on Thursday.
On Sunday morning, at 11,
Father John Huston will
celebrate a low mass and offer
Eulogies for the boys in the
Newman Center.
