He said the program needs approximately $2500 immediately and suggested this money could come from a rock concert sponsored by the RCF. Evans suggested social lieutenant governors from each residence college should meet and work on the proposed charity concert. Morehead Residence College Governor Steve Saunders introduced a motion in support of his college's efforts to attain use of the Faculty Club and convert it to a social area, study lounge and offices for the college officials. "This building would enable Morehead to become a true residence college a community that fights the alienation inherent with such a large university as Carolina by offering a total living experience to its members," stated the Morehead resolution. "The importance of the use of this building to Morehead far outweighs the demands for its use by other groups," Evans -said. Saunders also introduced a motion to allow such residence college to determine who sits on individual elections boards. in writing and contemporary American culture.

Alex W. Willingham, a graduate student charged with "displaying a weapon (a club) for the purpose of intimidation" during the cafeteria workers' strike Dec. 4, had his hearing before the Hearings Committee temporarily suspended Wednesday night. The University's only witness against Willingham Lt. Lindy Pendergrass of the Chapel Hill Police Departmentfailed to appear.. "The University's entire case against Willingham is based on Pendergrass's testimony," according to Bob Mellott, a UNC law school professor who represented the University at the hearing. "Pendergrass said he would not come without a subpoena," Mellott said, "and this committee has no power to issue one. One of his superiors said Pendergrass would come anyway but he didn't'show up." Pendergrass, contacted after the hearing was adjourned, said, "My superior officers did not tell me to be there. I don't know anything about what's going on." Chapel Hill Police Chief W.D. Blake said he never received a formal request from the University for Pendergrass to appear. "There is also the legal aspect to consider," Blake said. "If my officers testify civilly, in front of the Hearings Committee, then the criminal cases against some of the students may be hurt. "The judge might just throw the cases out," Blake said. He added he was checking the legal aspects of the cases with an attorney. Joe Cocker In Magazine English rock singer Joe Cocker, who will be at UNC for the Saturday Jubilee performance, is featured in this week's issue of Time Magazine which called him the most popular white blues singer in the U.S. Cocker, a 25-year-old Englishman, has a full show which includes 42 performers.

Paxton is probably best known for his "Wbat Did You H : 9 earn - Mellot told the Hearings Committee that unless Willingham is given a hearing by Saturday, 10 days after Willingham received notice of the charges, the case against him would have to be dropped. UNC Law School Professor William Aycock, a former chancellor here who heads the Hearings Committee, said his committee did not have power to reconvene itself. He said that decision would have to be made by the University administration. As of 5 p.m. Thursday, the University had reached no decision. Jack McLean and Glen Williamson, the other black students charged with disruption, were scheduled to face a hearing Thursday night but were granted a delay because their lawyer was out of the state. A fourth student charged in the same incident, John Wheeler, faces a hearing WTednesday night. McLean and Wheeler were among those convicted of criminal charges resulting from the incident. Both are appealing the verdicts. All four charges stem from a incident Dec. 4 when police and picketers clashed at the north end of Lenoir Dining Hall.

Waskow is the expert on the politics of the 1960s for the Institute of Policy Studies, a group of political and historical scholars who serve as "idea men" for the New Left.

The four were charged under the trustees' disruption policy which was adopted by the board in October. They are the first students to be charged under it. A part-time instructor at UNCCharlotte, David Blevins, has been the only other person charged under the disruption policy. He was found guilty of willfully missing his teaching assignment Oct. 15, the day of the Vietnam moratorium. According to the policy, the Hearings Committee ascertains guilt or innocence. Consolidated University President William Friday sets the punishment with permanent expulsion the maximum penalty. Chancellor J. Carlyle Sitterslon explained Thursday why the University refused to release any of the names of those charged. "I cannot make comment or reveal the names of individuals charged under this policy," Sitterson said.

Blake. In a report to the Board of Aldermen Monday afternoon,' Blake said the situation warranted the formation of a full-time narcotics detail. Chief Blake also requested a funding increase for" the police department. He sail! the force was currently one man short because the increase In drug cases had required the assignment of a regular officer to the Detective Bureau. "This man will have to be replaced," Blake told the aldermen. "We are trying to control drugs in Chapel Hill, but our men have other duties and we don't have enough to do the job." Blake asked for a detail of two men to deal especially with narcotics in Chapel Hill. Asked if such a measur would effectively halt drug use, he replied the force could "only hope to reduce the supply of drugs to some extent." Blake elaborated on the department's primary concern with drug pushers rather than users. "We don't think drugs will be eliminated by arresting a boy or girl who is using," he said. "We're trying to get the pusher out of circulation and the supply out of the community." A h, Yesterday. . . 'Twas A Fine Day To Find Commode By John Gellman Staff Photographer It was that kind of a day Thursday. Everythingwent right. The weather was perfect. Response to the APO fund drive was "overwhelming." Classes moved outside to meet in the sun. The flower ladies sold out of flowers by lunchtime. Spring came to Chapel Hill without any rain. And two students took a walk across campus carrying a commode. "We were walking along Cameron Avenue across from Memorial Hall," sophomore Charlie Gallic of Durham said, "and the commode was sitting along the side of the road. "We assumed it was gift of God." "It started out as a joke," Gallie's companion Arthur Gordon, also of Durham, added. "We just wanted to see how people would react to it. After we saw the tremendous response we were getting, we decided to be angry young radicals and protest SAGA." What does one do with an old, junked commode? "I plan to take it back to my room and use it as a lounge chair," Gordon said. "It's the kind of thing every college kid wants." I it ! !

Narcs Plan x4ttack GREEN SO RO (UPI) Narcotics officers from around the state have organized for a concerted attack on the leaders in drug traffic in North Carolina.

The Narcotics Agents Regional Cooperative (NARC), formed at a meeting here Tuesday, is composed of civilian and military' officials and 12 law agencies. Lt. John Faircioth, vice detective for the Greensboro Police Department, was named chairman. SBI agent R. Keith Bulla was selected as secretary. Other steering committee members are C.J.
