Gas station owners had attendants directing traffic in front , of their pumps, which were almost as crowed as the adjoining street. Every quick-food mart in town stacked cases 'of beer to the ceiling. Restaurants and hamburger joints found themselves pressed to keep up document entitled "The University of North Carolina 'Disruption' Program in Action: A Case Study and Some Concerns." Pollitt stated, "It is hoped that this report on the disruption policy as it was applied in this initial situation will be useful in the forthcoming review of the policy by the (trustee) Executive Committee and the University administration." President of the Student Body Tommy Bello addressed the council, urging "some sort of action, as you see fit," on President Nixon's ' recent policies in Southeast Asia.

Abern said the National Guardsmen were deployed throughout the city away from the rally area to help city and state police "maintain adequate egress from the central portions of the city." Abern said the Guardsmen, previously held in armories and elsewhere, were spread out as the rally started at 4 p.m. EDT "to prevent the possibility of any violence or property damage." Genet spoke to the crowd in French before Elbert "Big Men" Howard, national "minister of information" for the Panthers, read his speech in English.

Student Body President Tom Bello called the emergency meeting Friday afternoon following the Thursday night passage of a resolution by Student Legislature calling for a student strike and rally Wednesday to protest the decision. "Due to the unprecedented amount of concern and condemnation I have seen expressed by so many students against Nixon's decision," Bello said, "I honestly feel that only such a meeting of the entire student body will with the demand for food and drink. The long afternoon hours stretched into evening and the traffic jams slackened somewhat. Now the crowds were off the streets and on the sidewalks, headed south. Down among a forest of longleaf pines, a concrete monster arose. It was toward this gigantic bowl that the thousands converged. Attendants - vainly - tried to check all identity cards and guest tickets. As the gates opened and the throngs poured in, the green field suddenly began to blossom with large square colors. They carried a formidable array of gear with them, mostly in the form of drink containers. Plastic milk jugs filled with something definitely unlike milk were a favorite, with polyethylene hip flasks following a close second. One group of enterprising young collegiates pulled a keg into the arena for their own private supply of draft beer on tap. The festivities began at 7 p.m. with Dewey Jackson, North Carolina's own National Hollerin' Champion, yelling in the spring weekend. Jackson's amazing repertoire ranged f jom home-made hog calls to the hymm "What A Friend We Have In Jesus," the tune that won him the national title. Students wandered around the field as the evening of your., country and whites who have remained racist." The French leftist, who allegedly is in this country illegally, said he had produce his passport at to a federal hearing next Wednesday in Hartford. Hilliard called for a demonstration as big as the May Day gathering "to protest the illegal deportation of the only upholder of American justice in this referring to Gf net. Responding to by Sen. Thomas country, comments J. Dodd, D-Conn., that some Panthers an arsenal of were raisins weapons, Hilliard called Dodd "a corrupt office holder." He added, "We don't recognize Dodd, Attorney General John Mitchell, Attorney General Mitchell's wife or Richard Nixon." Dellinger and rally organizers kept spreading the word to "keep your cool and not be provoked into violence" Reaify Mappe convince skeptical on-lookers that the protest is not leftist-oriented or just another anti-war rally. "It is a sincere, united expression by all students on this campus that what Nixon has done is wrong," he said. The meeting will be held at 1 pan. Wednesday at a place to be announced Monday night at 7:30 at a general information meeting in the Union. Presidential assistant Joe Stallings, coordinator of Wednesday's strike and rally, said no definite plans had been formulated yet. New York Mayor John V. Lindsay and U.S. Representative Allard K.

Nine o'clock came and the crowds settled somewhat as Pacific Gas and Electric took the stage for a hard-rock concert. . Portions of the field were completely covered by blanljetsand their owners while thusands more sat in the stands ' ' eye-to-eye with helium-filled balloons suspended by invisible strings. B.B.

During the telethon, 17 telephone centers throughout the state will be open for people to call in donations. The phone numbers . for donators in Chapel Hill to call are 933-3961 and 933-1308. Volunteers to answer the phones are still needed, especially for Sunday afternoon, according to a telethon spokesman. Co-chairmen of the Chapel aven but an uneasy feeling cloaked this university city of 150,000. Gov. John N. Dempsey's decision Thursday to request federal troops to deal with any potential violence seemed to put some nerves on edge. Two-thousand 82nd Airborne Division paratroopers were 65 miles north at Westover Air Force Base in Chicopee Falls, Mass., while 2,000 Leathernecks from the 2nd Marine Division were at Quonset Point, R.I., Naval Air Station, 85 miles east. "Several thousand" Connecticut National Guard troops were scattered around the city, a military spokesman said. - - - "It makes people feel this is a crisis situation," said Jane Flax, a member of the organizing committee and a doctoral candidate at Yale University. "They get uptight. Little things set them off." M O n Special assistant to the Chancellor Claiborne Jones said the disruption policy of the trustees would not prevent students from holding the rally and strike. "The disruption policy does not prevent students from not going to classes," Jones said. "It does prohibit them from blocking entrances and exits for those students who do go to class." More than 1,500 students signed a petition Friday which will be wired to President Nixon protesting his announcement that troops were being sent into Cambodia. The petition states that the people signing "deplore the current deployment of American troops in Cambodia." "We fear," it reads, "that mem blues sound. But still the onlookers stayed. "The Illustrated Man" was shown at 1 a.m. as the throng thinned out. Hundreds of hearty Bulhvinkel fans applauded the exploits of their hero in a cartoon festival from 3 to 4:30 a.m. "Monterey Pop" followed, and the sunrise poetry festival founded over a hundred human bodies, some animate, others inert, on the grassy plain. Well, that was Friday . . . now what about tonight? Hill Telethon Center are Lynne Armstrong, assistant to the Dean of Women, and Richard Baddour, assistant to the Dean of Men. Anyone interested in volunteering for the telethon is asked to call the Chapel Hill telethon numbers. Hippler Given Award As Ton Judith Ann Hippler has been presented the 1970 Jane Craige Gray Award by the Beta Chi Chapter of Kappa Delta sorority in honor of her "outstanding character, scholarship and leadership." According to Dean of Women Katherine Carmichael, the award is given in the memory of Jane Craige Gray. Miss Hippler is a junior journalism and history major from Atlanta, Ga.. She has served on the Women's Residence Council, Student Legislature and the Association of Women ' Students Rules Committee.

Student Government began organizing the rally Thursday night after Legislature passed its resolution calling for a class boycott. The resolution "condemns President Nixon for extending United States military nterviews For State Committee Mem By Henrv Hinkle Staff Writer Interviews for the State Affairs Committee will begin next week, Butch Rooks, the new committee chairman, announced Friday. He said interested students may sign up for interview times at the main desk in the Student Union beginning Monday. Rooks, who is also a presidential advisor on external affairs, said the committee's plans include an expanded speaking torn before civic clubs across the state. "The speaking tour is the prime method of carrying out the committee's main purpose, which is to improve relations between citizens of the state and students here," he said. Rooks said he hoped to have at least 30 people on his staff to carry out the tour which will begin next fall. "It makes no difference if a person doesn't have any speaking experience, because he can learn easily," Rooks said. Rooks said he had already received invitations from two civic groups, but "the itinerary really won't be set until July when they start to plan their schedule." Expenses of speakers are paid for by funds allocated by Student Legislature. The Ashbrook junior said other plans for the committee include "a lobby" of the state assembly in Raleigh. "It won't really be like a lobby," Rooks said, "but we want to talk with legislators to ameliorate any ill will there might be toward the University." Rooks, a former legislative intern for Thome Gregory, head of the assembly finance committee, said some legislators "think Chapel Hill uiu, been the focal point of state education for too long." Rooks said he hopes the committee will be able to book engagements for Student Body President Tommy Bello on state radio and television stations. He said Bello would definitely participate in a panel discussion on WUNC-TV in the near future. Rooks said the committee will also work to "keep open major lines of communications with the Board of Trustees. "There will probably be major areas of disagreement between Student Government and the trustees, but we have to listen to each other',' he said. Junior Womm i - I t r i r- Jly Hippler studie ...

The resolution also calls for a rally in protest of Nixon's division and a class boycott in conjunction with the rally. Copies will be sent to state and national government leaders.
