When Vice President Spiro T. Agnew
visits Raleigh for a political rally Oct. 26,
he may have some unlikely supporters
cheering him on.
Yippies from university campuses
across the state are planning a Festival of
Life to "show our support for Agnew and
to expose our new culture to the people
of the state," according to yippie
"non-leader" Scott Snavely.
"We want to show Agnew that we love
him and agree with everything he says,"
Snavely saidl. "We will wildly applaude
everything he says."
Snavely said a rally will be held this
afternoon at 4 p.m. in the Great Hall of
the Carolina Union for anyone interested
in going to Raleigh Oct. 26.
Speakers from the local chapters of
Students for a Democratic Society, the
New University Conference and the
Young Socialist Alliance will attend the

Student Legislature will meet tonight
to consider proposed by-law changes
which would limit the powers of the
speaker of the legislature.
The Rules committee will report its
findings on a by-law amendment
submitted by third-year law student Joe
Beard.
However, the legislature is expected to
take no action on the bill, except to send
it back to the committee for further
study.
The amendment calls for
decentralization of the legislature by
dividing the speaker's powers among
legislators.
The Rules Committee was required by
last spring's legislature to report all
by-law proposals tonight. Committee

meeting to help make
tactics for the festival.
plans and discuss
Snavely hopes that as many freaks"
as possible will attend the festival to be
held outside Broughton High School
where Agnew will speak.
"We hope to have as many as 25,000
people show up to greet Agnew," he said,
"with a large portion of those people
from Carolina."
Though the festival will be held
outside, Snavely said yippies will be
inside giving out free food and money to
rally-goers. Signs showing the yippies'
support for the vice president will be
displayed.
Snavely cautioned that to get inside,
Yippies would need tickets, available
locally though the Young Republican
Club (YRC).
He advised interested yippies to have
"straight" friends ask the YRC for
tickets, since the club might be reluctant
to give tickets to "freaks".

members, however, say they have not had
enough time to consider the speaker
proposals and would ask the legislature to
recommit the amendment so they could
spend more time on it. A recommittal
motion requires the support of 15
legislators.
Student Body Vice President Bill Blue,
who also serves as speaker, first suggested
limits on what he called the speaker's
"enormous powers." Blue said the
student body vice president should also
not serve as speaker.
Beard's proposal does not call for
separating those offices, but attempts to
limit the speaker's powers in other ways.
Under Beard's proposal, the speaker
would be stripped of his powers to make
committee appointments, call special
sessions, set the legislative agenda and
keep the legislature in session
indefinitely.
The legislators would elect committee
members and the members would elect
chairmen under Beard's proposal. A
petition signed by one-fourth of the
legislators would be required to call a
special session.
In other legislative action tonight, the
Finance Committee is expected to report
its findings on a request by the
Orientation Commission for additional
funds to meet costs created by this year's
orientation program-

Long-haired, bearded cheerleader
Bernie Oakley has been removed from the
UNC cheering squad for refusing to cut .
his hair.
Squad coaches Barbara Yarborough
Fred Sanders issued a cut or quit
ultimatum to Oakley Monday. Head
Cheerleader Gunnar Froman relayed the
ultimatum to Oakely.
Oakely said he woudn't cut his hair
and refused to quit. Froman said he then
ordered Oakley to turn in his equipment.
Pressure from alumni was the reason
for the ultimatum, according to Miss
Yarborough.
After first reports of alumni
unhappiness with Oakley's hair and beard
two weeks ago, the squad adopted a
policy which said long hair was all right as
long as it was neat, clean and didn't
hamper the cheerleader.
However, Miss Yarborough said the
squad's vote conflicted with an Athletic
Association rule that "any athlete on a
team must keep his hair above his collar
and ears."
Athletic Director Homer Rice said
Wednesday night that there "is no
standing rule concerning hair length."
"All we do is leave it up to each
individual coach," Rice said.

According to Snavely, the pro-Agnew
tactic has never been used before in this
section of the country.
"We think it will psych everybody out
across the state," he said.
The news media in the area have been
notified of the yippie plans.
Plans call for the yippies to arrive
around 5 p.m. on Oct. 26 to "greet
people as they arrive and to hand out free
food and free money." Bands will provide
entertainment during the festival.
"We will even have a policeman speak
in support of Agnew during the festival'
Snavely said.
He expressed the hope there won't be
any trouble at the festival, but if there is,
he said it will be provoked by the police
or the "hard-hat" Agnew supporters.
"We just want to attend the rally to
show Agnew our support, not cause
trouble," he said.
Snavely urged yippie supporters to
attend the organizational meeting this
afternoon, so plans for the festival can be
made.
"Everyone should remember, though,
that the festival is going to be entirely
pro-Agnew," Snavely said, "People
opposed to the vice president may not
like what we're doing, but I think they
will understand why we are doing it.'

The cheerleading squad is working this
year under the jurisdiction of the Athletic
Association. In previous years the squad
was a part of student government but
made the change last spring because of
financial troubles.
Miss Yarborough added, "Under the
Athletic Association we feel we have to
abide by their rules. If we don't, it's going
to hurt us financially ...The alumni will
withhold money, so I have to take the
stand I do. This position is most
advantageous for the group."
Asked for his reaction, Oakley said,
"The whole situation is so illogical. We
were told we'd have to have a rule. I said
I'd abide by what the cheerleaders
decided. We got a good rule, and the
advisors didn't like it. So I guess what we
say doesn't really matter.
"The only reason anyone has given me
is the money from the alumni," he said.
"They say some alumni would actually,
withhold money if I don't cut my hair or
get off the squad."
Miss Yarborough said Athletic
Director Homer Rice got 13 complaints
about Oakley from alumni after the N.C.
State game Sept. 19.
After the squad voted, head
cheerleader Froman was told by Rice that
Miss Yarborough and Sanders were
coaches for the squad instead of advisors.
Froman said of the coahces, "It's their
decision and we have to do it. There's an
image we have to try to uphold although
the students and I might not agree with
it. That's the image of the cheerleader.
We're probably seen more than anyone
else. We're representing the athletic
department and the school."
Rice termed the incident
"unfortunate."
"It's a little thing," he said, "and I
didn't want to get involved in it. There
are two sides to the issue, and I left it up
to the cheerleaders and theif coaches and
their discretion." -V " " 'v-JT"v
When the controversy was brought up
two weeks ago, Oakley said he "wouldn't
be happy out there anymore knowing I'm
being made to present some sort of
acceptable image. It just wouldn't be fun
anymore.
"I hate to think that a 20-year-old guy
in college has to be told what he can look
like," Oakley said at that time. "If
they're afraid of what I am then cutting
my hair isn't going to change me. ;
"To me it all boils down to whether "
I'm representing the student body or the
alumni. If there weren't any long hairs at
Carolina I could understand it," he said.,
Remember IDs
Students holding temporary
identification cards marked with an
expiration date of Oct. 9 will not receive
their cards until Oct. 19.
This delay results from complications
arising from the loss of 5,200 ID cards
last week.
These students (with the Oct. 9
expiration date) do not need to have then
pictures retaken but all students with an
Oct. 2 expiration date need to have their
photos remade at the- UNC Photo Lab in
Swain Hall this week.

Only Coed Frat
by Jessica Hanchar
Staff Writer
Like most fraternity presidents, the
president of Pi Lambda Phi claims, "We
have a casual, personal relationship with
all members."
But Pi Lambda Phi is a unique
fraternity. It's the only coed frat on
campus.
And President Charlie Caldwell said
the "casual, personal relationship" goes
"not just among the brothers but among
the brothers and sisters as well."
"Both rush situations are based on the
same idea," said Caldwell. "It's a casual
situation where the brothers and sisters
explain our purpose, get together and talk
with rushees."
The girls are presently not living in the
fraternity house, which is located in
Fraternity Court.
' There are no plans at this time to
move the girls into the house, but "I can't
oredict the future " said Caldwell.

Pi Lambda Phi decided to become
coed last February after discussion among
the brothers.
"Some of the brothers were hesitant at
first," explained Caldwell, "so we decided
to rush girls in the spring as an
experimental program.
"We soon realized that all of us had
benefited," he added, "so we decided to
continue being coed. We look at it as an
opportunity to understand girls as 'sisters'
rather than as dates.
"We're like a big family," Caldwell
said. "It's not forced mixing, but a more
casual atmosphere."
The nine girls in the fraternity
expressed varied reasons for pledging.
Some said they had never had brothers
and welcomed the chance to become a
"sister" to a boy. Others said they
wanted to get to know and understand
the opposite sex better and vice versa.
"We welcome all interested UNC coeds
and males to come to rush and see our
purpose. We have an unusual program to
offer,"said Caldwell.
