The Rev. Ralph David
Abernathy, president of the
So u t hern Christ ia n m Leadership
Conference, joined picket lines
h re Saturday and pledged his
full support to striking
cafeteria workers.
The civil rights leader met
with University Chancellor J.
Carlyle Sitterson, Chapel Hill
Mayor Howard Lee and several
5,tudents and workers for about
an hour after marching in
picket lines at Lenoir dining
hall.
Abernathy said the
chancellor was "very patient
and kind." During the meeting,
he expressed his confidence
that Sitterson would do
everything he could to settle
the dispute and he told
Sitterson he considered the
University responsible for
settling the strike.
Sitterson told reporters the
meeting went very well. He
said Abernathy expressed
concern for the well-being of
the workers and "I explained
what the University had been
doing."

Three new courses in the
African Studies Program will
be offered next semester,
according to history instructor
Ann Dunbar. The courses are
described in a list of African
and Africa-related courses
currently available at the
College of Arts and Sciences in
South Building.
"The Trans-Atlantic Slave
Trade", History 69, explores
the mechanics of the slave
trade as well as the social
significance upon both the
slave and the slave owner. Miss
Dunbar is the instructor.
A second non-Wrestern
language will be added to the
curriculum. It is Hausa, the
major language of Africa's west
In efforts to hasten an end
to the food workers' strike
which has already lasted a
month, Sitterson has offered to
use non-state funds to
subsidize workers not rehired
after a strike settlement. He
has also promised to try to get
them job's within the
University. At the same time,
Sitterson has maintained since
the beginning of the strike that
the University is not and will
not be directly involved in the
dispute between the workers
and SAGA Food Services, Inc.
Abernathy delayed a
scheduled speech in Raleigh to
make his surprise visit to the
UNC campus, where he walked
arm in arm with several of the
pickets at Lenoir Dining Hall.
The group of approximately
60 pickets then marched to the
Student Union building where
Abernathy gave a short talk.
He told them, "I know you
will win in this struggle because
you are not alone. Not only are
right and truth on your side,
but I know that students and
faculty members are, too."
Abernathy pledged the workers

Abernathy arrived at
Raleigh-Durham Airport
shortly before noon and at a
brief news conference he
announced he would leave
immediately for Chapel Hill to
meet with the striking workers.
He was to have joined black
leaders for a SCLC conference
on poverty at Raleigh's
Memoral Auditorium at 2:30
p.m. Saturday. His talk was to
be rescheduled.
Abernathy said, "I don't
know howr rough it will get in
this town but if our brothers
can die 10,000 miles away for
so-called democracy in
Vietnam, then why can't you
fight here?"
Friday, Lee ordered Chapel
Hill police removed from
campus after officers fought
with strikers. SAGA official
James Westbrook charged that
the strike had turned into a
"demonstration of black power
instead of a labor dispute" and
telegramed Gov. Bob Scott
urging him to provide
protection for the non-strikers.

representatives resumed

invaluable opportunity for
students to take advantage of
what he called "the inctant
term paper."
He explained that students
who accepted the offer would
receive 100 coupons for use of
the information service which
enables them to have it
research any topic and return
to the students a typed,
footnoted research paper with
bibliographies.
Kay quoted one student
with whom he had talked as
saying, " "I'll be able to sell
these papers for $15 to $20
each to the people in my
dormitory."
Kay advised students
however to avoid copying the
papers word for word.
He said, "You'll get a big fat
zero if you copy the paper
word for word. Instead you
should restate the paper in
your own words and you'll get
a pretty good grade."
Chapel Hill Police Chief
William Blake told the DTH
that Kay had not registered
with police as all out-of-state
salesmen are required to do.
However, Blake said that
Kay had been contacted and
would be signing up shortly.
Kay said that he advised
students to make the revision
because teachers always know
the style in which each student
writes.
Acc
negotiations with the Faculty
Council's mediation panel
Neither SAGA nor union
officials would comment on
the meeting concerning
particulars, but one union
official noted there had been
"unbelievable progress" in the
afternoon session.
'There is some reason to
believe," a union official said,
"there is a possibility of
sufficient movement on the
part of the two parties for
some sort of agreement to be
reached soon.
"There has been enough
movement on the part of
SAGA," he added, "to indicate
hope."
A second meeting of the
mediation panel was set for 8
p.m. Saturday and the union
official said there was a chance
the meeting might be an
all-night session.
The official noted, however,
that even if some sort of
agreement were reached,
"Black Monday" would still be
scheduled.
"If there is an agreement by
Monday, we'll turn 'Black
Monday' into a victory
celebration."
"Black Monday," according
o its organizers, has been
scheduled for Monday when
black college students from
across the state, numbering at
least 3,000, will be here to
support workers.
Union leaders had set
Saturday at midnight as the
deadline for an agreement to
cancel "Black Monday."
The strike began Nov. 7
with workers demanding job
classification, an end to split
shifts, and a seniority system.
Negotiations have been stalled
since the vote on unionization
Nov. 21 on the question of
rehiring all striking workers.
SAGA has maintained that
because of high labor costs, it
could rehire only 60 or 70 of
the 120 striking full
workers. Approximately
of the 275 full and part
workers are striking.

Bus tickets for students interested in participating in the
Fayetteville war protest march and rally scheduled Dec. 13 will
be sold in front of the undergraduate library Monday through
Thursday, Fred Thomas, a committee member of the United
Citizens for Peace (UCP), announced Friday.
Thomas also asked people who could drive their own cars to
Fayetteville to contact UCP representatives in front of the library
in order to arrange car pools.
The UCP is a new organization of Chapel Hill citizens and
university students who are working in conjunction with the
North Carolina Mobilization Committee Against the War in
Vietnam.
According to Thomas, the goal of the new organization is to
build a permanent and substantial peace organization.
Thomas said, "We are placing our emphasis on long-term
organization rather than hitting just one day a month."
Thomas pointed out that the UCP would begin wide scale
canvassing in the eastern part of the state and was organizing
peace groups on other college campuses in the state.
The Fayetteville march and rally, which will begin at 1:00
p.m. Saturday, was conceived by the GI's United against the WTar
in Vietnam, a Ft. Bragg group. The GI organization is currently
striving for collective bargaining rights and sanction to publish a
GI newspaper which opposed the war.
The major speakers at the rally will include ex-GI activist
Andrew Pulley and Grace Paley, who visited North Vietnam in
1968 to negotiate a release of U.S. war prisoners.
James Pierce, regional director of the American Federation of
State, County, and Municipal Employees, will also be on hand to
speak at the rally.

After two minor skirmishes,
Carolina enters the gladiatorial
wars Monday night when the
Tar Heels meet the ferocious
and nationally-ranked
Kentucky Wildcats in
Charlotte.
Tip-off in this unusually
early national headliner is set
for 8 p.m. at the Charlotte
Coliseum.
The Tar Heels enjoyed a
welcome chance to smooth out

Nick Didow, Speaker of the
Senate Alden Webb, and Russel
N. Perry, an associate director
of the Physical Plant.

erroneous and claimed it
created a false image to its
signers and the rest of the
campus.
The petition signed by
about 80 coeds in Parker, (one
of three dorms in the College L

beeginning of a process to lay

opening victories left Carolina
Virtually untested against real
competition.
Kentucky is sure to provide
that, if not more. The
lensendary Adolph Rupp has
begun his
40th season at
Lexington,
and speculation is
that he won t
step down until
he wins his
fifth national
championship.
Despite the accidental loss
of sharpshooting forward Mike
Casey, many critics still say
this could be Rupp's final
year for voluntary reasons.
The Wildcats opened with a
victory over West Virginia and
hosted Kansas last night in
Lexington. Carolina's Dean
Smith flew to Kentucky
yesterday to scout the Wildcats
in person.
Regardless of what he sees,
Smith will probably utilize the
same strategy that has forged
four consecutive wins over
Rupp that is, a high
percentage offense and a tight,
pressure defense.
The defense as Smith
always contends will be the
key factor, however. Wildcat
center Dan Issel, a 6-9
All America, has suffered
through two losses to UNC and
vows not to let it happen again.
Issel's 26.6 scoring average a
year ago, plus 13.6 rebounds
per game, more than back up
his verbosity. He is an
aggressive 235-pounds who
goes to the boards hard and
should be a high-round pro
draft pick this spring.
The job of stopping Issel
enough to win for the third
straight time falls this season
on the shoulders of Lee
Dedmon.

Perry said under the plan
the maids and janitors relieved
of dormitory cleaning duties
would be relocated in new
classroom buildings with the
same type of jobs and the same
rate of pay.
"We want to cut down
dormitory rents to compete
with off -campus living but at
the same time we don't want
to reduce the labor force,"
Perry said. "It would be
ridiculous to try in light of the
SAGA Food Service situation."

looked impressive so far, but
containing Issel represets a task
of major proportions.
"If Lee turns sideways out
there, we may not even see
him," Smith has ribbed,
pertaining to the 30 pounds his
center will give away. "Issel
will get his points, but we hope
to cut his percentage down.
I'm sure Lee will give a good
account of himself."
Along with Issel, Kentucky
boasts 6-4 forward Mike Pratt,
another senior pointing to
revenge. Pratt was a 16.9 scorer
last season and has been near
the top in assists his first two
years.
Green sophomore Dennis
Wuycik is likely to get the call
on Pratt a match-up that could
pose trouble for the Tar Heels.
But in Carolina's pressing,
helping man-to-man defense,
no one player is likely to do
fatal demage.
Kentucky's third front
court starter is 6-5 junior Larry
Steele, an 8.6 scorer as a
sophomore that is bound to get
more offensive play this season
with the untimely loss of
Casey.

"The dormitory staff can be
reduced by providing brooms
and mops for the students to
clean their own rooms," Webb
explained. 'The remaining
janitors and maids would clean
the public rooms such as
lobbies and bathrooms and
would empty room waste

"Also, every two to four
weeks a work crew would be
brought in to clean all the
rooms, waxing the floors and
the like. This crew could be
composed of the relocated
workers."

opener, and a mixture of
minimal and sophomore talent
could be why.
Five different guards have
seen action going into
Monday's game, and Rupp,
himself, will probably be
undecided on his starters until
just before the game time.

Regardless, Kentucky
certainly rates its high national
ranking with or without
Casey. The Wildcats enter
Monday's affair as slight
favorites over the hosting Tar
Heels.
Carolinians believe
otherwise, however. Smith has
stated that it is still "too early
to tell how good we really are.
We may not even know after

As to whether the reduced
labor force will make undue
work for remaining employes,
Didow emphasized that the
plan was only being instituted
on an experimental basis.
"After Easter the students,
workers and physical plant will
review the situation and decide
if the plan is effective," he
said.
