The other two articles were to be considered in a night session.

Carlyle Sitterson said Thursday he will not press for a 10 per cent discount on Student Stores' books for the faculty unless it is possible to extend the discount to other members of the University community. The Chancellor's Advisory Committee on Student Stores recommended during its Nov. 6 meeting that faculty members be granted the discount on all books purchased for personal use. This committee resolution will be presented to Sitterson for his consideration. The Chancellor said he had not yet received the suggestion, but believes any discount should be offered to the student body and other University employees. Sitterson said such a discount would have to be "mainly for students" to receive his active support. He comminted that most Student Stores' sales are to students and that these customers deserve any special store privileges.

"This is the first referendum on the war since the YMCA sponsored one three years ago," Didow said. "There has been increasing demand for such a referendum in South Campus as a result of the Moratoriums and the President's speech." Didow feels "residence colleges must expand to include campus-wide and nation-wide topics if they are to be representative." ., Dodow said he hopes for "6,000 to 8,000 participants." "About 6,000 voted in the referendum three yearsgo," he added. peachmen t Joe Beard Vietnam moratorium, in support of personal choice to observe the . . . moratorium, ... by threatening sanctions against those who attended the moratorium and not the meetings of the Rules Committee." Defense attorney Dick Mitchell, moving to strike Article Three, said the moratorium bill was of too general a nature to be violated. "How can you violate a bill that says do your own thing?" Mitchell asked. "The moratorium bill did not prohibit any conduct or non-conduct of business," said Hank Van Hoy, former t out ISCOUFl Sitterson mentioned a meeting of all chancellors in the Consolidated University on Nov. 4 which included discussion of faculty discounts. "Our conclusion," the Chancellor reported, "was that present policies governing Student Stores' sales do not permit such a discount." Furthermore, he said he had no plans at this time to request President William Friday's office to ask the trustees for a discount. Sitterson said the University granted faculty discounts a few years ago but stopped when the University learned of the trustees' policy. Some members of the advisory committee said they hoped President Friday would grant the discount, if only on the Chapel Hill campus. Sitterson doubted this: "He would probably be charged by some with special interests whatever his reasons might be." Tom Shetley, managerof Student Stores here, said a request to allow a book discount at N.C. State was denied a few months ago by the Consolidated Office. n vj W lunchtime protest at Lenior t Charges Droppe JL JL legislator and sponsor of the bill. "The bill only took the stand that war is evil," Van Hoy continued. "There is no criminal passage whatsoever in this bill." Prosecution leader Rep. Louis Black (out of town) noted, "We as student legislators are allowed to interpret this bill. What is before us is how Mr. Beard interpreted this bill. "In following his conscience, Mr. Beard impinged on the rights of others," Black added. Before Legislature deleted Article Three, Rep. Terri Josephs (Granville) said in the opening prosecution statement "There is a principle involved in this trial that of an individual to support what he believes. When the members of this Legislature allow themselves to be intimidated by one person, then this must be stopped." In the opening defense statement, defense attorney William Houck noted, 4tThe defendant is on trial today because of conflict with certain members of Legislature. There can be little doubt of the competence of Mr. Beard as head of Rules Committee. The burden of proof lies with the prosecution to prove Mr. Beard guilty beyond a reasonable doubt," Houck asserted. If Beard is convicted on either of the remaining articles, he will be removed as chairman of Rules Committee but will be allowed to retain his seat in Student Legislature. Article One charges Beard with misfeasance and malfeasance in calling three meetings of the RuLes Committee on Oct. 15, "when there was no significant business to conduct. The sole purpose for calling the two extra meetings, if not all three, was to intimidate the other members of the committee," the article states. Article Two states, "Beard used his position for personal reasons . . and is therefore guilty of vast misuse of the powers of his office."

The 500 blacks were joined by 50 whites in packing the First Baptist Church in a meeting billed as an opportunity for the blacks to tell 'their side of Tuesday's violent disruption at the school. The disruption ended with three people slightly injured, several windows broken . out, holes knocked in the ceiling and some furniture broken. Town police, sheriff's deputies and highway patrolmen guarded the halls and grounds of the school Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday and are expected to remain for several more days. Class attendance was off at the high school Thursday with . a partial boycott by blacks in effect. Approximately 350 of the 1,000 students enrolled were absent. During Wednesday's meeting the main demand was for amnesty for the students suspended after the disruption. Dr. Roy Lindahl, chairman of the school board, refused to grant amensty but did grant a delay in serving warrants for the arrest of four students at least until after the board holds 'X.. Bv AL THOMAS DTH Staff Writer The cafeteria workers' strike here entered the first round of mediation meetings Thursday while picketers continued to pressure SAGA Food Service officials and the police. , Leaders of the workers and their union representatives and officials of SAGA, the firm contracted by the University to provide food service, met separately with a faculty mediation board Thursday afternoon. Both sides reported progress. "The meeting wras very productive," a reliable union source said. "We discussed holding union elections and otherwise laid groundwork for our next meeting." Kenneth (Ted) Young, manager for SAGA here, reported, "it was a real nice meeting. I hope it turns into a fruitful mediation." The mediation board is part of the Faculty Council's efforts for a settlement. Both groups agreed to cooperate with the board Tuesday, with SAGA officials refusing to meet 'with union officials until an election jamong the workers on the - question of unionization could Present its hearing for. the students Thursday night. At press time, no decision had been reached. James Lee, director of training for Foundation of Community Development in Durham, told the troup "the black community has gotten a big fish (the school board) on the hook.

Three buses left the lot in front of Carmichael Auditorium at 1 a.m. this morning. The buses will stop at Arlington Cemetery in order to allow participation in the March of Death and will continue to the Church of Future UNC first be held. Members of the mediation board include Paul Guthrie of the UNC Department of Economics who is also national mediator, Dr. J. Stacy Adams of the School of Business Administration and Assistant Professor Robert E. Phay ofthe Institute of Government. The next round of mediation meetings is scheduled for this morning. 250 of the 275 SAGA employees went on strike last Friday demanding unionization, job classification and the rehiring of six employees allegedly fired for pro-union activities. The striking workers are trying to join the American Federation of County, State and Municipal Employees Union, AFL-CIO (AFCSME). Wilbur Hobby, state president of the AFL-CIO, said Thursday night the students will have the ultimate say as to the success or failure of the strike. "As long as the students support us as they have been doing," Hobby said, "there will be no problem." Hobby also noted that two "scabs" worked Thursday at Case To School n demands," he continued, "then the board has not met its responsibility and the black community should react accordingly." Included in the students' demands are all black homerooms, more black teachers, amnesty for students they feel were disciplined unfairly and the dismissal of Michael Perna, a teacher they charged with racism. Several parents of the students involved spoke out at the meeting. One was brought to tears while discussing her Saint Stephen and the Incarnation, where the people who ride the buses will be staying. A bus will also leave Chapel Hill at 1 a.m. Saturday, allowing those who can't attend Friday to participate in Saturday's activities. Those driving are advised not to drive directly to the cemetery, the sheet said. Cars should be parked at the North Carolina headquarters, New York Avenue Presbyterian Church at 7313 New York Ave., N.W. A shuttle service will be running between the church and the cemetery. Those driving up for the string' Set Chase, which along with Lenoir is the only open cafeteria on campus. "My understanding is that two workers were bribed to come back today (Thursday)," he said. "SAGA raised their pay from SI. 80 to $3 an hour." A union representative had earlier threatened trouble if strike-breakers were brought in, but Hobby said these two workers were not hurting the strike. SAGA held its daily news conference Thursday, with Bob McMurray, manager of Lenoir, saying, "SAGA -has no intention of bringing in new workers as far as I know." He added that two large spotlights erected in front of Lenoir to shine on picketers were requested by the University police and not SAGA. Consolidated University President William Friday issued a statement Thursday concerning a meeting held Wednesday between University officials, several workers, their union representatives and town officials: "... It was all parties that made clear to the University Board child's future. Another parent said windows and desks were not worth as much as the children, and expulsion or serving warrants for the students' arrest would ruin them forever. One parent talked of harrassments. Her son, she said, went to school Wednesday, the day after the disruption, and was subject to constant harrassment by sheriff's deputies. One time, she continued, he was frisked in For DC Saturday activities should assemble by 11:00 a.m. at Pennsylvania Avenue and Third Street, next to the Capitol.

Persons without a place to stay are advised to go to the church. The March of Death will be from 8 a.m. until noon on Friday, and the Saturday rally is scheduled for 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Speakers at the Saturday rally will include Senators Charles Goodell (R-N.Y.) and Harassment would not become involved in the mediation effort but that it would take all steps necessary to prevent physical violence at any time on the campuses." The atmosphere relaxed slightly Thursday after disruption Wednesday at Chase, which resulted in two police being slightly injured and two picketers being arrested. Picketers Thursday were reinforced by several Shav University students and faculty members and residents of Raleigh's Southside. Following Wednesday's disturbance, Alan Albright, student body president, issued a statement reading in part, "The University can feel nothing but shame concerning the incident . . . The fact that the situation could exist to the extent that individuals would feel so frustrated they would resort to violence is an indictment against all our efforts to peacefully resolve conflicts." Albright said violence here cannot be tolerated and called on students to support the efforts of the mediation board. He added that student government will provide manpower or other assistance if the mediation board requests. the hallway between classes. The major argument of the blacks was they were not treated equally in the school. They charged the school board and other administrative bodies with not listening to them and not acting in their behalf. The president of the student body at the school, Wayne Stone, said "don't blame the school board and don't blame the superintendent for what's happening now. You, the parents, the citizens of Chapel Hill are the ones responsible." Protest George. McGovern (D-S.D.). Entertainers Peter, Paul & Mary, Pete Seeger and Arlo Guthrie will also be present. Persons attending the moratorium activities are advised to bring warm clothes, sleeping bags and food, according to the information sheet. "Don't bring anything you can't carry with you," said Fred Thomas, Moratorium Committee member. "You might want to bring some apples or something like that. Food will get pretty scarce up there." Thomas noted that 152 people from Chapel Hill will ride on the buses, and he estimated that at least an equal number will drive. 'The Bus9 Sales Set UNC's publication 17.
