The eighth annual spring Jubilee got
off to a roaring start here Friday night.
More than 25,000 students and
non-students flowed into Chapel Hill to
sit on the grass in Kenan Stadium, listen
to the music and groove on the total
environment of carnival atmosphere.
Dewey Jackson, national hollerin'
champion, hollered the festival open amid
fellings of frustration and fear of
President Nixon's Cambodia policy and
plans for a student strike Wednesday.
Cambodia was soon forgotten.
By 8 p.m., an hour before Pacific Gas
and Electric was scheduled to kick off the
music portion of the weekend; the Kenan
turf was overflowing with blankets and
bodies.
The first night's activities were marred
by the death of a UNC-Charlotte coed in
a one-car accident Friday night on South
Columbia Street.
Pamela Mitchell Price, 18, a freshman
at UNC-C, was pronounced dead on
arrival at North Carolina Memorial
Hospital at 3 a.m. Saturday after the car
in which she was riding went out of
control and struck a utility pole near
Marritt's Store.
The driver of the car, Laird William
Lewis Jr, a UNC-CH student, was charged
with manslaughter and driving under the

"I do not think if a young man does
something, ipso facto, a young woman
should do it also. Nowhere, in the roles
and expectations of society, is a young
woman treated the same as a young
man."
This comment was made by Dean of
Women Katherine K. Carmichael in a
personal interview Tuesday, as she
discussed the role of women in society
today, with particular emphasis on the
college woman.
Miss Carmichael, a native of
Birmingham, Ala. has been dean of
ivomen here since 1946. A graduate of
Birmingham-Southern College, she
received her M.A. and PhJD. from
Vanderbilt University. .
Miss Carmichael has had a great
mount of training for her job, ranging
rom teaching at Minor High School in
1932, serving as dean of women at
Western Maryland College during World
War II, as a Fulbright lecturer in the
Phillipines in 1951 and as a Smith-Mundt
professor at the University of Saigon,
Vietnam, 1961-62.
After 23 years of service to UNC, what
does Miss Carmichael think about today's
women students, and how have they
changed from coeds in years past?
"I see more similarities than
differences in students from all nations
and all generations," replied . Miss
Carmichael, who has traveled extensively
in foreign nations. "Basically, young
people have always been interesting and
challenging, expressing concern for basic
human problems."
How does the Dean of Women view the
recent emergence of women's rights as a
national issue?
"There is more talk about women's
freedom today," Miss Carmichael
answered, but she expressed some
influence by Chapel Hill police.
Lewis and another passenger in the car,
Frederick A. Amon, were injured in the
accident.
It was after 9 before the Pacific Gas
and Electric Company began to play, and
it was after 11 before they left, with
some confusion.
As the group's set came to an end, the
lead singer shouted through the
microphone, trying to be heard over the
applause, "The , . . pigs are busting us!
We're ... getting busted!"
Many in the audience took the words
to mean a drug bust, and a chant of
"Pigs! Pigs! Pigs!" rose up from the
crowd.
After the group had left the stage and
their equipment had been taken down,
ufjeireimS
reservations about their goals.
"In no society of the world today are
women accorded the same rights as men,"
she said, "and it is basic in Western
culture that women do not hold the same
rank as men.
"However the American woman is
highly advanced so far as her freedom is
concerned."
Miss Carmichael expressed satisfaction
with the female liberation movements
that have sprung up recently, but "they
need a better sense of history," she said.
"The historical movements that have
produced liberation for women" must be
considered, she said, and the people who
were responsible for this liberation must be
studied or the liberation movements are
operating in a "vacuum."
Women should be prodded the same
job opportunities as men, said Miss
Carmichael, but they should also be
willing to accept the "same rigorous
training for these jobs as men."
Union Director Howard Henry told the
audience, "This is no drug bust. It is a
simple contract debt."
Henry had to repeat his words several
times before the crowd calmed down.
(See pictures Page 3.)
A Union spokesman said later, "It was
a simple breach of contract that resulted
in a writ of attachment. Their equipment
was taken away and a judgment served.
They have paid everything off. It was not
a drug bust as the crowd seemed to
think."
When B.B. King took the stage along
with the Jubilations and his guitar
"Lucille," the crowd forgot about the
bust.
"Lucille" began to wail to the crowd,
and King began to sing his blues.

The crowd loved it. They swayed and
clapped in time with the drummer.
They gasped quietly to themselves at
the light show on the screen behind the
stage.
Some tried to sleep. Many huddled
beneath blankets to ward off the night
chill.
The concessions stands were packed.
Cigarettes were bought and smoked, and
when the celebrants went back for food
and tobacco, they found the supplies
diminished food was plentiful, but
cigarettes had dwindled to the point that
there were only two rather unpopular
brands available.
The bought the brands they did not
like and went back to their dates
muttering to themselves about being sure
to bring eni;gh cigareetes with them
Saturday.
Despite picas fron: Jubilee Committee
glass and tin were plentiful. Officials
repeated their requests that no glass or tin
containers be brought into the Stadium.
Saturday was the big day. James
Taylor and Sweetwater topped the
afternoon entertainment, and Joe Cocker
with Mad Dogs and Englishmen by-par:
the noonday sun to give the nighttime
concert.
Sunday morning was scheduled to
bring Monterey Pop, if the mails
cooperate.
Taylor was "tremendous," and the
crowds swelled to the 30,000 mark on
the second day.

What are her iews on women and their
rights at the University?
'The laws of a society determine its
culture," said Miss Carmichael, "and
therefore the women who are here
benefit from the rules which are in effect.
"Nobody is entirely free in society
anywhere," she continued. "Anyone who
believes that a person's character is
formed at a certain point is fallacious.
"The beautiful part of human life is
that a person's character is ever-changing
and the University should care enough to
work in conjunction with the student's
home" to insure this character is formed
properly. -
A large number of women have argued
that equal rights with men is only natural,
and thus should be guaranteed. How does
Miss Carmichael view this belief?
"Something may be natural, but that
doesn't mean it is good in education," she
replied. "Just because something is
natural does not make it good.
"I am bored with people who feel that
which is natural is good."
The University was recently charged by
a female rights' group, Womens' Equity
Action League, with an admissions policy
which discriminates against women.
Miss Carmichael commented:
"As long as Women's College existed,
this university was not interested in
competing," she said. "The enrollment
was rigidly limited for undergraduate
women so as to avoid that competition.
"However, since UNC-G has existed,
there have been enormous changes here.
"The state of North Carolina should
educate that number of women which
ought to be educated," said Miss
Carmichael, "which is 40 percent on the
national leveL
"I have great confidence in what UNC
has done throughout history," the dean
said. "The first woman graduated in
1898, and in 1917 a real program for
educating women was started. At that
time the policy consisted of educating
women from other colleges, emphasU on
junior transfer women.
"In a cultural pocket unique in the
United States, Virginia and North
Carolina, women have not attended the
major university in the state," said Miss
Carmichael.
"However, that tradition is piXrx"
she said.
Miss Carmichael was also asked what
she tfc ought of IXC's present
administration in which she works.
"The history of this administration has
been a borrowing from faculty discipline
and from public service," she answered.
"I am of the opinion that this
procedure has brought to this
administration a variety and depth which
conceivably can be lacking in some
colleges.
"I-am grateful for the opportunity to
work with this administration."
